Hi, welcome to Life in the Law. I'm Marianne Sasaki. Today we have a guest who is very difficult to acquire. I've been begging him to come on for some time. He finally is seated to my request and he's my husband, Andrew Sasaki. So welcome, Andrew. Welcome, Marianne. It's good to see you for the first time in hours. I've been asking you for months since I've been on. Andrew actually has a longer life in the law than I do because his father was a judge. So he's been in the law since he's been zero years old, right? Your father was a lawyer. Approximately zero. Right, right. He was in the prosecutor's office at that time. Oh, wow. So we can talk about your life in the law a little later, but let's talk about your life now. Andrew's an IT professional and he, I was gonna say, practiced many years but I guess worked many years in New York City. What did you do? I mean, I have no idea. Well, you know, I was 90 operations so I mostly built out infrastructure and planned for upgrades and things like that. So it would be everything from going into an empty space and deciding what kinds of network equipment needed to be there and how the hardware was we're gonna run and all that up to doing server rooms and virtualized infrastructure like VMware and, you know, in the cloud. I'm sure there are people out there that will understand the word of that. There are probably lots of people out there that won't understand the word of that. It's a little esoteric if you're not in the industry. So when you're here today really because you just completed a very exciting experience and you're embarking on an adventure in hacking aren't you? You know, I thought I was here today because you needed a last minute guest. Well, that also. Well, so don't give away my secrets to the audience. Oh, you can edit that out. Okay, we'll try. Okay. So no, but tell us about Dev League and what you did there and why it's so exciting for Hawaii and why Hawaii is like on the cusp of being a new silicon center. You know, there are really a lot of efforts to make it into that and I think Dev League is part of that. So Dev League, if you don't know, is an IT bootcamp. Those have come into popularity in recent years. They're really high intensity, very specialized kind of trade schools where you go for a short period of time and and you really learn web design and and you know web programming and coding and all that stuff very intensely, typically in a short period of time. Like how short? Well, Dev League was three months and it was six days a week, 11 hours a day and you were doing nothing but coding the entire time. So it's total immersion. Total immersion. So I have a question. So what's coding?  I think there's kind of a I think there's kind of a distinction people make between programming, which is where you're writing some kind of a program that people are using on computers and coding, which is like a language, right? Which is doing stuff for the web, usually. Right, right. So there's kind of a gray area. You know, I've heard both of you, so. Was the bootcamp the hardest thing you've ever done? It probably was. It was really hard. Because you were out six days a week, 11 hours a day learning coding, right?  You don't realize until it's gone.   Well, it's true. Sometimes you're, sometimes you're watching, sometimes you're watching a lecture or a demonstration. Sometimes you're working with somebody else and they're the ones that are at the computer and you're kind of doing co-pilot stuff. So now what, what have you, what's your big takeaway from bootcamp? What was, did you learn a big lesson or a lot of little lessons or what, and what would you tell people if they were thinking about going to bootcamp? I would tell people, if they're thinking of going to a bootcamp, I think most people can do it if they're, if they're really dedicated. But it's definitely a lot of effort. And you, I think there's a misconception that people need a lot of technical skill in order to go in and do something like that. But it's not. You have to be willing to learn, I think, and willing to put in a lot of time and effort to do it. And if you can meet those criteria, and I think more people can than they realize, then you can do it. Yes, you can. You can do it. Even if you're a lawyer, you could go to Devlin if you're interested in IT. Yeah, I think even attorneys could do it. I think so. I think it'd probably be good for attorneys, although they, they used to marathon work schedules. So that would be kind of, you know, familiar to them, I think. Right. You know, more so maybe in some places than others. But yeah, definitely. So, so what, so what was your takeaway from debt? Well, first of all, we have to say the Dev League is one of the best of these in the country. It's gotten numerous awards for being the one of the best coding bootcamps in the country, right? I don't know how many awards it's gotten or anything, but but it's definitely, it's definitely one of the best ones. But then I think that's very significant that it's located here in Hawaii, because I think something is emerging. I think we're at a new frontier with Jay, if I don't think so, also with respect to, you know, information technology and computer development. Yeah, in a way, I think Hawaii maybe has a little bit of an advantage because they're a little isolated from the mainland. So they maybe don't have the, they maybe came into it without as much infrastructure on the technical side as maybe in some of the big cities on the mainland. So in a way, it's maybe easier to move forward with all that legacy stuff keeping you back. That's great. I mean, we were talking about that the other day, we're talking about how some places in Europe or India didn't have a good infrastructure and they became wired in a very sophisticated fashion because there was nothing there to begin with. And so that it's sort of analogous in that in that way, right? Right. I think the other day we were talking about was was like Italy. Oh, Italy. That's right. For the longest time, you know, notorious for having one of the worst phone systems in Europe. It was terrible. It was absolutely terrible. And so because they had this lousy infrastructure when mobile came in, you know, it was it was really easy to replace that lousy infrastructure because all of a sudden here's this new thing, you know, and and you didn't have to support the old thing when you're moving over to the new one. So so now what's what's the hackathon? Is it connected to Dev League or I mean, what, what's the connection? What is it? And what do you what are you doing? So typically hackathon is where you have a contest with a bunch of individuals or teams that are competing to to create some kind of program in a short amount of time.  But really, the government decided to the state government decided to get into the hackathon business and have a hackathon that would be on behalf of the state. So there were a bunch of teams that got together. And there were some presentations about a week and a half ago over loa tower on different government agencies that had needs that that they could really use some help. And this was the brainchild of the new CIO of Hawaii, right? Right, whose name I'm blanking on at the moment. I was hoping you would remember. Well, I don't really be a really good name to have on hand. Yes, I really would. But but I the fact that he's a new CIO, he's brought in a whole like fresh approach to the needs of the government and implementing sophisticated programmers and coders in governmental departments, which hadn't been a priority before, I think. I think it hasn't, you know, when when you talk about when we're talking earlier on about having legacy infrastructure, you know, the government is one of those places that really has a lot of legacy infrastructure. So I think in a lot of ways, it's been an issue of keeping government from moving forward on the IT side. But but you're right, this is like this is like a pretty innovative thing for them to be doing. And I've heard really good things about the state's efforts in this regard. So what kinds of so every bunches of people have projects right that they're doing in order to kind of like win this hackathon. That's how it goes. Yes, like their teams, right? And so are there teams that are specifically addressing issues the State Department has? Or can you just address any sort of governmental issue you think is important? Well, for the hackathon, there were about a half a dozen different presentations from different agencies. And each team is addressing one of those. Okay. So there are multiple teams on on some of them. And some only have, you know, maybe one team. So what are some teams? What are they working on? Do you know? So some of the projects were made in Hawaii, agricultural agricultural items and food. Another one was for farmers markets. There was one that was for visitations at the at the jail. Oh, that's that's a terrific idea. Yeah. Yeah, that is the you know, the story that they told there was that there's there's just so little manpower and so few resources. Right. You know, there's basically like one phone line. And people might travel by bus from the opposite side of the island to visit someone who's in prison. Right. And they try and call to make an appointment. And there's only the one line, which if it's busy, you know, you're just not going to get. Oh, yeah, that really lends itself to an application. Definitely. Because you know, I worked in the prisons rights project. And I know that visitation is not a high priority. And it's often I was bungled is a is a strong word. But but it doesn't get the attention that it deserves probably people do travel from far, from far away. And there are missed appointments or miscommunications with respect to appointments and visiting hours and things like that. And and often people traveling by public transportation. So it's, you know, really hard on on the visitor. So if they can fix that to some extent, that would be a great, great advance, I think it would be. It's a little surprising that there hasn't really that there hasn't really been any effort towards this so far. And they're still in the system where they have the one phone. I'm not surprised really, because I think people don't want to think about prisoners. They don't want to think about prison systems are so huge and growing and Baroque.  Well, you know, I think you bring up a good point, which is that the prison system is growing. And it's really its own special industry. Right. And I really don't think it's, you know, there's there's profit in dealing with a lot of aspects of prisons, but I don't really think there's a lot of profit in accounting for prison visits. Right, I don't think so. Right. So it's so that's not really a profit center in the way that housing prisoners is, right, or, or producing products in prisons, which has been privatized. Right. That kind of thing. So I'm going to take a quick break. And after we come back, maybe we can talk about some more other subjects that we like to usually talk about politics and some other exciting things. And yes, Donald Trump, Donald Trump, but we look to talk about him. So we're going to take a quick break. You're watching Life in the Law. I'm Marion Sasaki. Stay tuned. I pity the fool who ain't watching this show at 12 o'clock on Friday afternoon. Stan, the energy man, watch it. Hello, this is Martin Despeng. I want to get you get excited about my new show, which is humane architecture for Hawaii and beyond. We're going to broadcast on Tuesdays 5 p.m. here on Think Tech Hawaii. And the show is about Aloha, I'm Kirsten Baumgart Turner, host of Sustainable Hawaii. Thanks for watching Think Tech this summer. We have a lot of terrific shows of great importance. And I hope you'll watch my show to every Tuesday at noon, as we address sustainability issues for Hawaii. They're really pertinent as the World Conservation Congress approaches in September and the World Youth Congress that's focusing on sustainability next year as well. Have a great summer and tune in at noon every Tuesday. Hi, welcome back to Life in the Law. I'm speaking with Andrew Sasaki in full disclosure. He's my husband, but he's also an IT professional and involved in the state hackathon. And it's fascinating that the steps the state is taking to modernize the IT industry and hopefully bring it up to a state of the art product or practice or what would be state of the art industry, I guess is the right word, right? Right. Well, they really are making efforts in that regard. And I've heard some good things about people who were involved in the hackathon and not government people, but people who are outside of government. So what's your hackathon subject? My hackathon subject is going to be campaign finance. Well, it is campaign finance. And what will you do? I mean, how will that manifest? Do you know yet? So what we're trying to do is create a nice database of campaign finance, where the where the donations are coming from, where the where the money is being spent, and hopefully link that up to link that up to the candidates, a nice, searchable database. Oh, that's terrific. That would be great. I'd like to know that. Would that be open to the public? It would. Oh, I'd love to know that information. Everything is part of the challenge is going to be open to the public. Now, there's already there's already something that's like that, but it doesn't quite meet the needs that they're hoping for. So we're maybe going to modernize it. I would be totally interested in that. That's, you know, well, you know, I love politics, and I'm always willing to talk about politics. So do you want to talk a little bit about politics? Do you want to talk about politics? Well, we don't disagree. So it's very boring. Is it what we talk about? We could talk about the fact that Hillary Clinton will probably be the first female president of the United States. Did you think you'd ever see that in your lifetime? You know, I did. I thought it was a possibility back in the in the 80s. Really? With Geraldine Ferraro?  What do you think about the rise of Donald Trump? What do you think it says about Americans, American spirit or America? What's what's propelling this campaign, which is such an odd, an odd campaign? I mean, it's flip flops back and forth and it's it's built upon nationalism and anti, you know, sort of anti-globalism.  He's speaking to he's speaking to right wing media listeners. You know, it's really clear to me when when I look at and you look the way that Trump is running his campaign and the things that said that it's really Trump has figured out how to hack the news. Oh, I really think you're absolutely right. But why don't you explain what that means to the audience? Because I understand what you mean and what do you mean by hack the news? Well, for a long time, you know, for a long time, the news operated as a public service and was requirement that if you had a broadcast license from the FCC, you needed to you needed to spend a certain amount of your of your time, whether you were a TV station or radio station broadcasting things that were demonstrably in the public interest for the public good. That's right. When did that go away? Well, that went away with with Ronald Reagan's administration in 1980s. And I think it really started when they gutted the the Fairness Act of the FCC. You know, they used to have that. Well, not the Fairness Act, the Fairness Doctrine. You know, there used to be something called the Fairness Doctrine, which was when you aired a political viewpoint, you had to give equal time to an opposing viewpoint. And you don't have to do that anymore. Well, you can pretty clearly see that on things like Fox News, right? There's no opposing viewpoint on that. Right, right, right. And when you say Donald Trump has hacked the news, do you mean turned it against itself? I mean gotten in virally involved in sort of, I mean, what do you mean by hacked the news? Well, Donald Trump has figured out in a way in Donald Trump has figured out some things about the news that the other candidates maybe maybe they figured it out and maybe they haven't. But if they figured it out at all. But part of it is but part of it is Donald Trump has some other strengths that allow him to do this. But he's figured out that you can say something that's newsworthy and crazy and there won't be enough time to follow up on it. But even more so, if you say something else that's newsworthy and off the wall the next day, that will be the thing that gets coverage. And the things you said that day before that's that was wacky, like forget that that won't be covered because now the media is covering this new thing that you said. Well, you know, that's interesting.  I thought surely this will demolish his career, but it but it didn't.  But it didn't because, you know, like almost as soon as that happened, there was some other crazy thing about Trump that that was on the news and was dominating all the coverage. And it's been like that all the time. I mean, there hasn't been, have there been maybe as many as three consecutive days that have gone by when there hasn't been some crazy thing about Trump. And he's on the news all the time. And the latest is that he funded a Florida attorney generals campaign at a private, out of nonprofit funds in hopes of having her drop the case against Trump University. How long do you think that story will last? I think it's a fascinating story. I mean, it's a story for one thing. It is. It seems like like right up to the line of bribery and maybe like tossing some stacks of cash over that line and the other side. But Trump has said that he that he in the past, you know, was happy to pay for when you pay to be on the inside, you know, pay for play or pay for influence. He's he's he said it. He said in castigating other candidates, he said, oh, I understand this whole play for pay. Nice use of castigating. Oh, thank you.  It's cricket. It's inside. And so I mean, here's an example of him having done it. And I wonder if it'll stick now.  But how's it going to stick when everybody else does it, too? Right. Like when how can Hillary Clinton bring that up when when, you know, there are there are some issues involving involving her with the Clinton Foundation. I'm sure they don't and I'm sure they're they don't they don't rise at the same level, right? But I don't have to rise to the same level or or even be or even be actually illegal in the way that probably Trump's things are. But just the fact that you can bring them that you can bring them up and talk about them and kind of raise questions without really coming out and making an accusation, you know, shows that there is a pay for play operation going on and people have been doing it for a really long time and are reluctant to give it up. You know, well, it cuts clearly off at the knees as far as being able to bring that up. And and, you know, and the thing of it is when Trump says that stuff, he's right. I mean, all the candidates do that. There's such a strong link between money and getting elected. Let me ask you a question. Is your is your app going to can your app fix that or address it or? Oh, God, no. Oh, it's not going to give everyone. It's not going to give everyone a pony. But don't you think. But I mean, don't you think sunlight is the best disinfectant? I mean, if we see understand where money is coming from and, you know, how it's coming and where it's coming, it'll it'll people's eyes will be opened a little bit. You know, sunlight is the best disinfectant. And if we could get more detail in into the campaign finances, then the government requires, then, yeah, I think that would be really eye-opening. But, you know, one of the things that's happened is that campaign finance reform has has really been stymied every single time it tries to it's it's attempted. Well, what about Citizens United? Do you think Citizens United will stand? I would, I would hope it wouldn't. It's so it's so obviously democratic. We should explain Citizens United, which is a Supreme Court case that enabled packs or corporations to give unlimited amounts of money to candidates. Would you say that's that's a correct assessment in a nutshell of what Citizens United is?  I wanted to say something before, though, when we were talking about, you know, even Hillary Clinton, I read that Goldman Sachs is to prevent conflict of interest Goldman Sachs is telling their employees that they ought not give to Trump that they should they ought to support Hillary Clinton. So so Hillary Clinton's in, you know, plugged into the into the whole play for play, pay for play in a big way to, as you were saying, I mean, maybe not maybe not so blatantly is Donald Trump. But, you know, I mean, I think almost every politician is plugged into that, you know, any politician of any province, not necessarily in a corrupt way, but the fact is that in order to get elected, you typically need like a really large campaign chest, right?  But you know what, Trump doesn't seem to be suffering from lack of mobility on the ground and a lack of a big war chest. I mean, see, that's how he's hacked the media. He's hacked the media because he's he's found a way to get the coverage that he needs without paying for the coverage that he needs without paying for commercials and so forth. Well, exactly. Like the largest expense of any campaign is, you know, is the campaign itself is like the media and getting that kind of exposure. And I've seen estimates that that say Trump has received over a billion dollars worth of free media exposure just by being outrageous and by becoming Donald Trump. So I want to change course just a little bit because we have only a few minutes left. And I have I'm kind of interested. You're from Kailua. I am from Kailua. And you were away from Hawaii for 20 some odd years. And so what tell me your thoughts on returning? Okay, the first thing that I really want to know is where did all the chickens come from? I go in downtown Kailua now or to the beach, you know, there were not chickens there when I was growing up.  So you're not used to a chicken free. You're not used to a chicken. Of course there are chickens there in Whole Foods. I went to the court. I went to the court in Kauai. There were chickens all over the front of the courthouse. I will have to get to the bottom of why there are now chickens and why there were in the zoo. You know, they're probably involved in some kind of chicken related law soon and are there as witnesses. I'd have to guess. When some wild chickens get loose and just start populating the islands, I mean what? You know, I don't know what happened there. So that's the biggest thing that struck you that there's now a lot of chickens? Well, that's one of the big things. The other thing is that the demographics of Kailua have really changed, you know. It's really surprising to see how, you know, it's like there are not a lot of kama'inas there anymore. It's like they're being priced out of Kailua. And the entire character of downtown Kailua has changed so drastically. It used to be almost nothing but mom and pop stores. And there was the occasional big store there, like Liberty House in the Bronx. Right. Back when there was a Liberty House. I know. I'm so sad about that. And before it was long as it was Crest, which was just great. I love Crest. And you don't remember Crest. It was this five-in-dime store. Did it have a counter here at Crest? Did it have a counter? It has a food counter and you could buy sewing notions and it was just the greatest store. You could spend hours in it and, well, ours in New York City had, they also had pets. So they had pets. Ours had pets. Yeah. So you could have a buy. You could visit the pets. You could buy a sewing pad. It was like a general store. They don't exist anymore. Everybody's now, everybody's like a single-purpose entity, right?     But it doesn't have pets. It doesn't have pets, Target. Can you say that for sure? Have you checked the entire store? I haven't checked all of the Target. Or there might be pets there somewhere.  You were so, you were so reluctant to come on. See, it's fun. It's fun. Show us life in the law. You've had life in the law.  Can you tell me? You already know what this is. You're asking what they call a leading question. The biggest thing I took away from growing up in a household with an attorney and later a judge for a father is that I never wanted to be an attorney. The amount of money you could pay me to be an attorney does not exist. So I think that's a good note to end your life in the law. And because here's somebody with a particular insight into a lawyer's day and what kind of obstacles we face, challenges we face. And so the law has begotten an IT professional. And frankly, the IT and the law are really interconnected these days. We could have talked a little bit about that, but we don't have the time. That's a whole other show. We could totally do a show on IT and the law. But it's fascinating. It's changing and shaping the law. It's changing and shaping the way the law is practiced. And it's actually changing. And it's actually changing. I know it is. But since we're out of time now, I'm going to just say thank you. And I'll say I'll see you at home later. Cook me dinner. And I want to thank everybody for tuning into Life in the Law. I'm Marianne Sasaki. We're on Wednesdays between 1 and 1.30. And I hope you join us. Talk like this all the time. This is totally how we talk.


Hello everyone, this is financial author Amit Dhan of Iran Journal. On this channel you'll find financial travel and more videos just like the one you're watching right now. If you like what you see, please give it a thumbs up and consider subscribing. Today I'll show you how to use Akaso which is a GoPro action cam alternative as a dashboard in your car. The procedure is very simple and I'll show you an example how to use that. Hello everyone, this is Amit Dhan of Iran Journal. Today I'll show you how to use Akaso EK7000 4K Ultra HD action cam as a dash cam in your car. Akaso EK7000 4K Ultra HD action cam is a GoPro alternative and it just works fine. If you see my unboxing video and there's another Akaso video where I showed test clips of Akaso cam and you'll see that the camera works just fine and it takes a very good quality video and you can get all these at a price which is a fraction of the GoPro cost. So this camera has many features and one of the features is that you can use this camera as a dash cam in your car and in order to do that you would require only two pieces of equipment which are right here. So these two pieces if they come with your Akaso original camera then you don't have to buy anything else. However you may not get this piece which is the auto suction cap or auto suction tool with your camera then you have to buy it separately and it would come under the Akaso Akaso accessories or any other GoPro accessories. So this piece right here is a case which will be holding your camera and this piece right here is which will mount your camera to the glass of the dashboard of your car. Now in order to install this so all you have to do you will be putting this camera inside this case just like this this way and then all you have to do you have to just mount or attach these with this part right here.  So once you lock this it's going to record everything from your car and you have to options to turn on the camera you can either turn on the camera right from here and by pressing the record button on the camera before you stick it to the case or you can use your smartphone app to control the camera from your smartphone and you can also view what the camera is seeing on your smartphone. I talked about this in my other video so you'll be if you watch my Akaso unboxing and the test video I talked about this a little bit so basically you have two ways of start recording on this camera and then one it's a stick to the car then you'll be able to record everything and you don't have to buy a separate dash cam for that. Now I will attach some test videos which I have recorded last week using this camera in the car and you'll be able to see the picture quality and everything and if you need to have a camera occasionally or if you don't need a camera which would stick to your car all the time then this is the perfect alternative camera to use as a dash cam there's no need to buy a separate dash cam. So this is all for now and I'll take you to the test video clips and if you like what you see please give it a thumbs up and make sure to subscribe to the channel.


I wanted to learn English and I left my country, Turkey, came here as an au pair and my host mom took me to WCTC for the ESL course because as a part of my au pair program I needed to take an English as a second language class. I get to involve in many meetings and events. I'm a part of Graphics Club. We get to design so many stuff for our school. I work closely with Marketing Department because I'm also a student worker. I was so happy to hear that I was chosen as the district ambassador for WCTC because someone saw how hard I was working and I knew that I was the good choice for this position because I can be the voice of students. I want to be the voice of other international students. I want to create some meetings and events together and then we can talk about our cultures, languages, food, background.


Hi, I'm Senator Patrick Clay. I want to thank all of you for your commitment to keeping the UVM community safe from COVID-19. Everywhere I go, in the U.S. Capitol, I'm wearing that. I'm in my office now, so I'm all alone. That's about the only time it comes off. But you look at you've done, you've now collectively taken 100,000 COVID-19 tests. You should be very, very proud of playing a role in this milestone for UVM. It's made UVM nationally recognized, and Marcel and I are so proud of you. But you, your fellow students, UVM's faculty, you continue to lead the best way. You've done it by example. You've shown in clear terms by Vermont, our state has been one of the most successful states in combating the coronavirus pandemic. And I know this year hasn't been easy. I've talked to my own kids who are students at UVM, but you've shown that you're up to the challenge. You've taken the green and gold promise, and I'm so proud of that. You've respected social distancing and masking requirements. And President Garimella tells me you've been tested an awful lot. Now it's only through testing and following the science that we're going to be able to identify and control the spread of the coronavirus. With that in mind, please help yourself and all of us continue to be a leader on campus. Tell your friends to get tested if they believe they've been exposed to COVID-19. If you listen to it, you stick to the safety guidance. You take these tests. I can tell you right now, you do make a difference. This is how we can save lives. This is how we can get back to the kind of normal that's what we all so much want for our families, for our campus, for our community, and for our nation. You're doing the right thing. In challenging times like this, it's even more important than ever we recognize our accomplishments and we celebrate them safely of course. So thank you for getting tested. Go Cats.


Let's talk about Labyrinth, the 1989 musical fantasy directed by Jim Henson, produced by George Lucas, starring David Bowie, a young Jennifer Connolly, and a bunch of puppets. It's finally getting a sequel, so sequel talks ramped up back in 2017. At the time it was going to be written by Nicole Perlman. She co-wrote Guardians of the Galaxy, Detective Pikachu, Captain Marvel, and it was going to be directed by Fede Alvarez, who's probably best known for the Evil Dead reboot. Last month, Alvarez said that he stepped down as director, so it seemed like maybe things were slowing down with the sequel, until today, Deadline reported that Scott Derrickson is stepping in to direct this movie. You'll know Scott Derrickson as the director of Doctor Strange. He recently left Doctor Strange 2. He wondered what's it going to do instead, taking a different sequel, Labyrinth 2. It's going to be written by Maggie Levin, who's another writer that's not very well known. She recently wrote Miss 2059, a sci-fi show that I had a hard time actually figuring out where this show originally aired. I know it's streaming on Amazon, I believe it premiered as a streaming show originally. Wherever it originally started though, it's available on Amazon now. She also wrote an episode of Into the Dark, the horror anthology show on Netflix. So first reaction I had to seeing all this is, I thought it was so weird that none of the articles are mentioning the prequel series that Netflix did. Then I remembered I'm Thinking of Dark Crystal, the other collaboration between Brian Froud and Jim Henson. So Labyrinth has not had any sort of a sequel or prequel, at least not in film form. Alon, is this a movie that you've actually seen? I know I asked you this earlier today and I already forgot your answer. No, I feel like the only times I've ever seen it was at a bar where it's like projected on the wall or something and you couldn't hear anything. Right. But that's exactly that is one of many places that you would see this movie because there's so much nostalgia around this movie, such a cult following, especially because of David Bowie. So I wouldn't be surprised to walk into a bar and having it projecting in the background. Personally, I don't have a lot of nostalgia for this show. I only saw it a few years ago and the draw for me was David Bowie. I just wanted to see and absorb everything David Bowie had any part of. So I'm kind of of two minds with this sequel. On the one hand, it's kind of sad to see a property resurrected when, at least for me, I think a lot of other people, the main draw was David Bowie. In fact, when the movie originally came out, the critics did not really like it. But across the board, I think people praised Bowie's bizarre musical numbers and his performance as the goblin king. So that kind of it's kind of depressing that it's coming back without him. But hopefully they can find some way to live up to his legacy or respect and honor his legacy. Ultimately, though, if I were to look at the positives and the negatives, I'm curious and somewhat optimistic for this movie, mainly because when you think puppets, you think practical effects. So one of the things I remember about this movie that really sticks out to me is just the interesting design and the aesthetic of it. If they can bring that back, that would be awesome, especially if they can bring it back with practical effects and do something that harkens back to what this movie looked like in the 80s. And when I think interesting and bizarre, interesting and bizarre visuals, this director, Scott Derrickson, is not necessarily the one who would come to mind. He's best known for horror like Sinister or the extra system of Emily Rose. But if you think back to Doctor Strange, there were some bizarre and trippy sequences in that movie. So I do think he has it in him. And there could be something to be said about having a traditional horror director doing this movie that's geared towards children. If you bring in others into the production that can bring in that child sensibility and combine it with this person who's got an eye for horror, that could give the interesting and bizarre visual effect that I think you need for a labyrinth sequel. Charlie Chalk in the chat says, I'm ashamed to say I've never seen labyrinth. I love the Dark Crystal Netflix series, though. I have to say, I honestly don't remember labyrinth that well. So you can see it didn't make a big impact on me. But I know that it is very similar to the original Dark Crystal film. It came from a similar collaborative place. So if you were a fan of Dark Crystal, I recommend checking out labyrinth. By the way, Alon, apparently every year there is a huge masquerade ball. It's one of the biggest in the world thrown by fans for labyrinth. Everyone gets in costumes and just danced the night away. I think obviously it's canceled this year. But next year, I think we should do a one take goes to the labyrinth masquerade ball and we'll do a show from there. OK, maybe we will not. If we get to a thousand subscribers, then we'll commit to that. I mean, when when we get to a thousand subscribers, you get the labyrinth masquerade ball special. Maybe we should cut this part out so we don't have to. We don't have to. I promise that.


So one of the things I talked about this morning was how to help people get the most out of this conference. And one of the things that you're kind of overwhelmed at is that you're in this room with really, really smart people, and they're all kind of intimidating. So one of the things I suggest is just go up and talk to these people, come up and introduce yourself, tell them the types of problems that you're working on, and I'll bet you they're going to be very interested in telling you how they would approach your solutions. So there's so much brain power here. There's being in a room full of PhDs and query theory and things like that. It's just intimidating, but they're all friendly. So I just encourage people to walk up to people, get conversations going, and we kind of see that right now. Everybody's very approachable. So my advice for anybody who's never used NoSQL before, the best place to start is to really pick up a good book on the NoSQL patterns and understand the major architectures and some of the business problems that they're really good at solving. Our book is a really good place to start from. One of the things I think it's best to do is start to look at some of the case studies. Our book is full with a lot of case studies, and this conference, a lot of the material has good case studies of people who have real business problems and how they're using NoSQL solutions to give them a competitive advantage. And these are often places where the traditional SQL systems simply can't meet the scalability or extensibility or agility guidelines that they need to be competitive. So start out with a good book, look for case studies, and then talk to people in your community about other people in similar situations. This is a great conference for you to network with other people in similar regions that have had those problems. So our new book is called Making Sense of NoSQL, and it's really written for people that have had no exposure to this field, but people are coming up and saying, what is this new field and why should I care? And it's a very general overview for people that are interested in the topic and the architectures and the trade-offs. We spent about a year collecting case studies and interviewing different people that have used to solve different problems. It has a lot of focus on pictures and diagrams. We've collected a lot of metaphors to help non-programmers and non-tech people understand some of the biggest benefits of moving this architecture. We introduced the core patterns, we introduced the terminology, and then we go through a lot of case studies of different business areas. We talk about problems in big data, problems in search and retrieval, problems in high availability and problems in agility, and trying to bring it all together and help you pick out a method for selecting the right NoSQL database for your business problems. So yeah, so in addition to the traditional patterns of relational databases and analytical databases, the NoSQL movement has brought four broad new patterns. Key value stores, column family stores, graph stores, and document stores. Each of them are a little bit different and each of them have a unique property that they have ways that you can scale using a lot of different hashing and caching techniques to work on clusters of nodes that share this data and still provide that reliability and availability that you need in a system that never goes down and always has scalability as you add more nodes to the cluster. These four new patterns really aren't designed to replace the high-quality transaction control that you'll get in relational databases, but really designed to complement those so that you can build hybrid systems that integrate all those together and the four new systems are really ways that you can bring out the most in a very cost-effective data center if that data is in the cloud or if it's posted on your site. There's many different solutions to solve different business problems. So if I was going to have to provide a brief explanation for each of these patterns, key value stores are unique because they have a very simple architecture. Given a key, you'll present a return of value and that value can be any byte stream that describes a chunk of data, a lot of data. Key value stores are very simple, they don't need it for your language and because of that simplicity, it's very easy to scale them to very high qualities of service level signals. The second pattern, column family stores, is similar in the way to key value stores, but the key is really composed of two pieces, a row and a column, just like a spreadsheet. You'll use that, but we have then what's called a sparse matrix system where you're going to put a blob of data at the intersection of a row and a column. And the beautiful thing about this is you get the same scalability of key value stores, but you get a more fine-grained control over selecting the items that you need by specifying column and row information. The third pattern, graph stores, really excel when you have a network of information where relationships really dominate the type of information you have. Graph stores are unique because by doing traversals of these graphs and not just traversals of small sets, but you can traverse millions of nodes every second, you can search for patterns in these graphs that you couldn't search for by storing it in traditional relation databases. The last data pattern that we use, document stores, is really kind of one of the most popular and the most flexible. And by using a document store, you store your data in a hierarchy of nodes and those nodes are all grouped together in a natural collection. So your invoices and your sale orders are actually going to need containers of documents that represent those sales transactions. Document stores are great because they completely eliminate the need to take these natural documents, shred them up and put them into rows and columns, and reassemble them. They all live together in the database, so you can have very clean and fast and cashable interfaces between the people who are storing the documents and fetching those documents. So each of these patterns exist and they're separate, but they have different problems that they excel at.


The Narcissist Worse Nightmare After They Leave You The Narcissist Worse Nightmare Is To See You Becoming Successful After They Have Left You The last thing they want to see is you doing better when they are no longer with you After they have ignored and neglected you They refuse to take notice of you They disregarded you intentionally They excluded you from a group, activity or benefit They left you in a bad position Without the rights or advantages that are given to other people They left you for dead Assuming that you are no longer effective or useful to them But then some time goes by and you're healthy again You've recovered from any financial problems You're with someone new That would be the Narcissist Worse Nightmare When they left you They might have played the victim And acted like you couldn't do enough for them Or maybe they said that they wished the best for you After they have used up everything that you have to offer And left you out on the street Assuming that they're never going to hear from you again After they were with you for all of those years And you invested all of your time, energy and money into them Just for them to use it all up And treat you like you're beneath them Once they've drained you out of everything you've got They just move on to their new source of supply Someone they just met the other day They always see the grass as being greener on the other side They always think that other people's situations are better Or more attractive than their own So they run off to this new source of supply Assuming that it's all over for you Assuming that they're never going to hear from you again Because they've just left you in the dust They've taken everything you had And left you with nothing So they assume that you're never going to do anything with your life You're never going to be anything great after they're gone But then some time goes by and you come back They hear about you from a friend Or they see you on social media And then they realise that you have managed to turn your life around They realise that you have become successful You have met someone more successful and more attractive Which completely destroys the narcissist Because it is the last thing they want to see After they have left you It's their worst nightmare But it's really what they deserve after how they have treated you This should be your motivation after they are gone They discarded you They left you for dead And then they ran off to their new source of supply Who will probably end up cheating on them They're not going to treat the narcissist anywhere near as good as you did Narcissists are so gullible They are easily persuaded to believe something So anyone can come along and sell them a dream At least until they see you moving on and doing better without them Only then will they realise what a big mistake they have made Especially when they see you moving on with someone else When they see you making loads of money And you're living your best life with this new person you're with You're travelling the world Eating good food Driving luxury cars You're living a comfortable life Enjoying physical ease and relaxation Having an adequate standard of living This is the last thing the narcissist wants to see Because they want that And they left you hoping that they would find out with someone else But they never do And when they see you living a comfortable life with someone else It destroys them It's like they had the winning lottery ticket But they just threw it in the trash They didn't realise its value And then someone else came along and hit the jackpot When we are with these narcissists That's our worst nightmare Everything they do to us The way they treat us They don't respect you They don't care about you They only stick around to use whatever benefits them But it was never about love And that's why it was so easy for them to replace you When they start devaluing you That's when they are grooming other sources of supply That's when they are preparing other people For the purpose of catering to their demands When they start putting you down That's when they're cheating on you They're getting ready to discard you And it just kills you inside After everything you invested into them You cared so much for them Maybe you wanted to spend the rest of your life with them Maybe you invested a lot financially And then one day you just wake up You realise that it was all a lie All of those fake emotions All of those false promises of future faking None of it was real You realise they're talking to someone else They're trying to move on with this new person And they think you're done They think it's all over for you They think they're never going to hear from you again And then you come back You come back better than ever before You become successful You become prosperous, affluent, wealthy, rich You surpass any standard that they ever thought you could achieve And you've met someone new Someone who is more successful and attractive than a narcissist It just destroys them It pulls them out of their little fantasy bubble Which they created to protect their weak fragile egos It makes them feel stupid And they will try to pop up in your life again But you cannot let the narcissist come back in your life You have to teach them a lesson You have to let them know that how they treated you was not okay By never giving them another chance The narcissist worst nightmare Is seeing you become successful after they've left you That's the last thing they want to see They want to see you fail after they've left you They want to see you struggling in life They want you to be miserable So that it confirms that they made the right choice by leaving you They don't want to deal with the shame of making a wrong or foolish decision They cannot deal with regret They cannot deal with a thought or idea That they let go of the one they were supposed to be with They're destined life partner Because after they've seen your success You set the bar for everyone they meet They will hold their new sources to the same standard they saw from you Which will be very difficult for them to do If you have managed to become successful They will probably never find anyone else without your level They will only experience disappointment While for you It's not going to be hard for you to find someone who treats you better than the narcissist Someone who wants to improve your life Someone who makes you happy The narcissist with lack of affection and warmth They were always putting you down While most people aren't going to treat you that way The narcissist doesn't want you to be happy They want you to be miserable They don't want you to succeed in life They want you to fail It's sad But you need to use it as motivation to become successful To meet better people People who will treat you right The narcissist will eventually find your social media And when they see that you're living your best life without them They will regret their decision to leave you They will regret for the rest of their lives They will try to get over you They will try to move on But they will still be lurking somewhere in the shadows They will be waiting They will be watching you You have set the bar for everyone who comes after you Seeing your success Will make them hold their new sources to the same standard But they will only ever be disappointed They're not going to find someone who's at your level Because they let go of a winner They let go of a vancousher And that is the biggest mistake they will ever make in their entire lives They are going to regret it Thank you for watching and I'll talk to you soon


Welcome back to our channel. My name is Andrea with Food and Mentory Adventures in Food and I am here today with another unboxing from Taste of Home magazine. This is their quarterly subscription box. I got my first box last quarter and I will make sure to link that video in the description box if you want to check out what I got. But this subscription box is $35 a quarter and it's filled with all sorts of kitchen goodies. This video is not sponsored at all. I paid for this subscription box out of my own pocket. So let's jump in. So the first thing I will tell you that comes in the subscription box and I think there's a little bit of a glare on it. It's kind of like a newsletter type thing and it has information on all the different products that you get in your box. Now I will say right off the bat I noticed that I am missing one thing from my box. There is a customer service number to call so I am gonna call them and see if I can get that missing item from my box. So let me jump in. So the first thing I want to show you guys is this. These are sponge cloths. They are is a four pack. They are reusable and bio degradable. So you get four pretty springy colors.  So those are always handy. So I'm excited about that. And then you also get a really cute and nice scoop. I don't think you can ever have too many scoops. These are good for things like grains and flour and sugar and things like that. The brand is OXO which is a good brand and I have a lot of their different products. So excited to see this as well. One another thing that I got was these stretchable lids or stretch lids. And this is something that I've always wanted to get but I've never bought for myself. So you get three pieces. They are reusable eco friendly fridge and freezer safe. And I am excited about these little stretchable lids and I love the colors, fun colors. So you get that.  And I actually do not have a spreading knife. So I was excited to see this in the box. And then you get this and this was actually folded up. I mean it was sealed and it is a boil over guard. And I have actually never seen one of these before. But what you do is you put it over your pot. So you lay it flat like that. And then if anything boils over it just goes into these petals. So very cute. Like I said I've never seen anything like this. And this is a pretty cool little kitchen gadget that I probably would not have bought for myself that I'm excited to try out. Let's see here. And then just like the last box. And I know like I said I know there's a glare so I'm sorry. But you get a little envelope filled with different recipe cards which is pretty cool. So you get about seven or eight different little recipe cards. Everything from the honey cinnamon roll ups to fish tacos to orzo that type of thing. So excited to see that. And then the last thing that was in my box is this cookbook which I love cookbooks. I have tons and tons of cookbooks. But this is a regular full size cookbook taste of home farm to table. This is one that I've actually not seen before. So I'm excited to try it out. But these are all recipes based on like fresh ingredients vegetables things like that. It says there are 279 recipes in this book. And they have five ingredient dishes slow cooker recipes and freezer friendly meals as well. So it's a really nice looking cookbook. And then let me show you what I didn't get which I actually kind of need is this spoonula. So that right on top is what I didn't get. So like I said, I'm going to call customer service and see if I can get one sent to me. Alright, so that is everything that came in my taste of home subscription box. Again, it's a quarterly subscription service. It's $35 a quarter. And it's kind of fun to get a nice little treat like that in the mail every once in a while. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video. If you did, please make sure to give our channel a thumbs up. And if you have not subscribed to our channel, we certainly love to have you. Thanks so much for watching and we'll see you guys next time.
