Today, we're excited to welcome someone who is fighting inequality through business. Alana Reinholtz joins us to talk about founding Bird and Stone, a jewelry company dedicated to women's empowerment, philanthropy, and giving back. This is School of Hustle, the show where we find advice and inspiration from people who are making their own way. I'm Shannon, the VP of Social Hierarch Go Daddy, and I live and breathe at the Hustle of Business. Today, we're filming from the Hustle of It All at the WeWork Times Square in New York City. Everybody, let's give Alana a big warm welcome. Thank you so much for being here. Thanks for having me. I'm excited to have you here because you founded a fascinating company called Bird and Stone. It's a company that's building a more equal world. I'm wondering if you could tell us all more about what building an equal world means to you in your business. Thanks. Yeah, we're really proud of the values that we've built with Bird and Stone. We are female founded, everything is made in the USA, and everything gives 10% to a non-profit partner that we work with. And you make jewelry. Yeah, so we are the first, so we are the first direct-to-consumer jewelry company that gives 10% to a non-profit partner that you help choose. So we connect consumers to causes that they care about. And you mentioned on your website that all of your products are ethically made. What does ethically made mean? And why is that important to you when you're running your business? Yeah, I mean, we're really proud that I got to decide where the manufacturing is done and it's done in the USA. We make everything in family-owned factories in Rhode Island. So we pay fair wages. It's really great for rapid prototyping and bringing things to market. So yeah, we're proud of that. And what is your business model? Yeah, so that's a great question. Everything that we make gives 10%, so that's top-line sales revenue to a non-profit. So for instance, we have a Futures Female Bracelet. That's one of our best sellers. And it's in partnership with the local affiliate of Planned Parenthood. So Planned Parenthood of New York. So for every product, every cuff that you buy that says Futures Female, they get 10%. And so we've replicated that across a whole host of issues. We support women in politics. We support fighting against climate change, growth and education, et cetera. As you expand and you increase in sales, how do you ensure that that quality and that mission is not compromised? That's a really great question. I think it also has to do with the type of investing and funding partners we get so that we don't have to compromise on those values. Impact is at the core of the company, and we could talk about this more, but I started the company from a fundraiser. I sold jewelry as a way to get to Kenya. And did you make the jewelry or your friends? You did. Yeah, so I made jewelry. I was in Midtown, right around here, buying beads at the bead stores. I taught myself on YouTube how to make bracelets. And it was a fundraiser for a trip to Kenya. I was working a corporate job in finance at Bloomberg. And I was, yeah, so I needed a couple thousand bucks for a volunteer trip when I was 24. And we made jewelry to fundraise for the trip. So that exact, that's kind of the birth of the business model for the company. So everything we do gives back. It's not 1% of sales or anything like that. That is wild. I have to ask, when you came back from Kenya, was that when you knew you had to do this jewelry thing more long term? Yeah, so when I went to Kenya, I lived with a group of rural women who were starting businesses and they were in poverty. So they were getting microloans, $100 microloans and they were getting out of poverty by starting businesses. So I was completely transformed by the women I met. And I saw that women were literally carrying their babies and the world on their back. And they were showing up to my business classes to learn about profit and loss. And I just said, oh, what can I do to support their work? And I thought that it should be, you know, it's very much a grassroots nonprofit. I don't think I should be there, but I wanted to support their work. So the first partnership we had was a collection that supported microloans for women starting businesses. And you also mentioned Planned Parenthood earlier. What are some of the other causes that you support and how do you go about finding people that you're going to align with? So to answer your question, yeah. The Planned Parenthood partnership came out of this need a couple of years ago saying burdened stone supports women and girls. That's what we do. We started to empower women and girls with jewelry, but a lot of reproductive rights are actually endangered in the country and we're seeing that right now in places like Alabama and Missouri. So we started with the Planned Parenthood of New York affiliate and what's so cool is we've sold tens of thousands of cuffs that support our local Planned Parenthood. And we see people asking for affiliates in California and Texas and something that we did this year we're really proud of is our first match. So during the abortion cuts in the news in the last month we were able to match $1,000 of donations within 24 hours on our social media for people, for the organizations in Alabama, excuse me, in Alabama and Missouri for all those women who don't have access to get safe reproductive care. Wow. The massive impact, it almost traces back to you teaching yourself how to make jewelry with sort of at the heart of all of this. That's wild. You also, I don't know if this is true, but I believe you also speak Swahili. So conversationally Swahili, I would say I learned a lot of words to teach business classes in Kenya but yeah, so a lot of business words about... You're so well traveled and I'm curious what lessons and experiences from those travels like really make you successful in your business. Like what things do you bring into your work today from this background that you have? Well I think what was so interesting about the trip to Kenya is realizing my privilege and how growing up here in the U.S. and just working hard I could get to a really great college and I could start a business with access to customers and so that experience there with these women working really hard in poverty they just didn't really have the resources. It sounds like you gained a ton of empathy and compassion and understanding and those are all such great things. I'm just amazed by this story. This is so amazing. Partnerships are so important to your business model and you've made such a massive impact for Planned Parenthood locally. It sounds like what are some other partnerships that you're working with right now? Yeah, so I can talk about two. So first there's non-profit partnerships so every product we make is in partnership with a non-profit that's fighting for a more equal world. One is we fund She Should Run which is getting 250,000 women to run for office up and down ballot by 2050 so that's their goal and so we made this bracelet that says who run the world? And yeah so that was really exciting. We launched it last summer right before the midterm and then actually led into our first for-profit partnership so normally we work and fund non-profits but we were approached by the SKIM so if you know the SKIM they are an awesome millennial daily newsletter that's providing great information about the world in tidbits and in great ways. Yeah we worked with the SKIM to make a no-excuses bracelet and so no excuses was a campaign for them to get 100,000 millennials to vote in the midterms and so that was our first time that we did a corporate partnership where we could make a bracelet and make an impact with someone else's audience. And do you find that your customers are posting their bracelets and jewelry on social? Yeah that's such a great question. So you could look at our Instagram tag photos and the stories that we get are unbelievable. I would love to tell you one. Yeah please tell me one. Someone wrote us in that they wear their futures female bracelet every day and this is a 45 year old woman in the Midwest of the country and she said that she goes to her sales job at an engineering company and fought for equal pay and she was so scared to go to her boss's office but she looked at her wrist every day and was reminded by it. So that's kind of why we're doing what we're doing. That's what you're all about. Thank you for opening up. This was really fun. Now the next section is one of my favorite parts of School of Hustle and it's called Hustle Time. In Hustle Time we set a timer for 60 seconds and we see how many cards you can get through in that time. You ready? Wine, white or red? Malbec, so red.

Most powerful emotion, anger or love? Anger or love? Love. Okay. All right, we're going to count it. All right. Okay. Now it is the moment of truth.  Take that out of the deck. Everyone up.  It's like the excuse that you give work. Right. But entrepreneurs don't take off sick. It's just so confusing. How are we doing? 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18. That's really good.

Noodle has a ton of birthday parties to attend this summer. He's popular and he never likes to arrive empty pod to these parties. Noodle feels that jewelry is so personal and he just doesn't know where to begin. So what advice would you have for Noodle and people who want to buy jewelry as a gift for someone else? Yeah, that's a great question. I think what's so cool about our website is that you can shop by cause. So if you have a friend who cares about women's rights or about fighting climate change or supporting girls around the world, you can actually pick the cause that they care about. And they all have inspirational phrases on them. So the idea Noodle is don't think about your cause but your friend's cause. Think of that person and channel them and then go forth and pick something that they can wear with pride and excitement. And it's very easy on your website. Now I have to ask you to share with us how we can follow you on that website and Instagram. So tell people where they can go. Tell Noodle where he can go to go shopping. Yeah, you can go to birdandstone.com or follow us on Instagram at birdandstone. Fabulous. Well in closing, I always like to leave with a final thought. I'm going to read you three quotes and I want you to tell me which quote resonates the most with you and why. Okay? Okay. Find peace in what you cannot change.  Or you must expect great things of yourself before you can do them. I think the first one, find peace in what you cannot change. How so? Why that one? I think there's so much in building a company about getting to that level and saying I'll be happy when. And so personally I've done a lot of work on that and enjoying the journey. So it's all about just reveling in your strengths and not trying to be anyone else. That was so much fun. Thank you. I know that everyone watching really enjoyed Alana's discussion today. I know that I did. I would like to ask everyone to follow birdandstone and social. And also follow GoDaddy because we are bringing entrepreneurs every week across social, giving you more advice and inspiration for fabulous people like Alana every week. So stay tuned and keep watching and we'll see you soon.


Hi guys, welcome back to this video. Today, I want to talk about my morning COVID routine for working in the ICU. My routine sort of changed up a little bit since I've been working on a COVID unit and so I wanted to talk to you guys about what I've been doing a little differently and just talk through my routine. If you follow me on Instagram, I actually posted this whole routine. So you may have already heard some of this stuff, but if you haven't, stay tuned and also make sure you follow me on Instagram because I share a lot of things over on there as well. So my routine's changed up a little bit and one of the things that I do differently right when I come on to work is I change into some OR sterile scrubs. Now these aren't always available for us depending on how many elective surgeries there are, how many people have been wearing them, but if they're available to me, I like to change into these scrubs so that way I can wear my clean scrubs home after shift. But if not, I usually bring a change of clothes with me so that way I can change into them right away after my shift. So I get into my OR scrubs. I'm clocked in. I get my patient assignment. I usually will have one or two patients, but I'm going to talk about what I do if I have two patients that are both COVID positive or COVID rule out in this kind of scenario. But I go and I get reports. Some people were asking if we're still doing bedside report and it kind of depends on the patient, the circumstance and what's going on. So we try to do bedside report, but we're also trying to say PPE. So luckily we can see the patients from the window, from the door, so that way we don't always have to go in. But if it's necessary and there's something major going on or something that we really need to double check together, then absolutely we will go in the room together. After report, what I like to do is I usually will wipe down my whole area with sandy wipes, the phone, the computer, my desk, the chair, everything that I'm going to be interacting with. I like to do that right away in the morning. And then I will go into patient number one's room.  Do just a very brief assessment. I will check their monitor, make sure their alarms are set correctly, make sure the parameters are set correctly. I will make sure none of their IV medications or drips are going to run out, are going to alarm at me. If they need a bed alarm, I will put the bed alarm on. So I'm basically doing a very quick head to toe assessment and also a safety check, making sure that while I'm over in patient number two's room, there's not going to be anything going on in this room that's going to potentially cause an emergency or I'm at least going to be notified of it, aka my alarm's going to go off because my parameters are set correctly to how I would like them.  And if you don't check your monitor, then you don't know, you're not going to catch that. Your monitors are your eyes and your ears when you are in another patient's room or even when you're sitting outside of the room. So always make sure those are on.  It only takes me a couple minutes. Of course, I'm all gowned up in my COVID stuff. While I'm in patient number one's room, it's also a good idea to kind of look at like, what supplies do I have? What am I going to need to bring in? So that way I'm not wasting PPE coming in and out of a room just to grab like a flush or something like that. So I'll look to see what I have in the room so that way I can bring that back in when I come to do their medications. I leave the room and then I will go and grab the medications for patient number two. I'll also grab any little supplies that I may need the glucometer if I need to do lab draws, whatnot, but I will go into patient number two's room and I will do a head to toe assessment. I will check all their alarms, monitors, the whole safety check that I did for patient number one, but this time I will give them medications. I'll check their blood sugar. I will do any labs, anything that's outstanding. I'll kind of tidy up the room, check their skin, make sure their bed is all clean, make sure that they're not dirty. I'll do my eyes and nose. I also will be charting little bits here and there to try and do the most real time charting that I can. And once I finish up in patient number two's room, then I will come out of the room, go grab the medications and things that I'll need for patient number one and then go back into that room and just kind of finish up an assessment if I need to do all the meds, labs, glucose check, all the things that I already did for patient number two. I will finish doing that on patient number one. And when I'm done in there, I will come out to my desk area and chart anything that's left over.  This method allows me to only gown up three, I always do that six, three times to check up on my patients. I've thought about kind of combining some steps to where it could only be two. Like I could grab patient number one's meds and do all that. But then I'm not going in to see patient number two for a longer period of time because if you work in the ICU and you have two vented, sedated patients, you can be in the rooms for an hour plus sometimes. And I don't feel comfortable not getting a visual on both patients within the beginning of my shift. And usually by this time, it's like nine-ish and I've finished up my charting and whatnot and I'm getting ready to go in and, you know, do my next patient turn or maybe I have a CT run or maybe we've got a bronc or maybe we're going to ex-debate. I don't know. It's like there's so many things in the ICU in your mornings very so much, but this is kind of my COVID routine that's slightly different from what my normal ICU routine is. I hope you guys enjoyed and found this helpful. Let me know down below if your routine's a little different. Obviously, if you have more patients, it can be like totally, totally different. And I hope you guys are all staying safe and doing okay. Let me know if you like these types of videos, give it a thumbs up and subscribe to my channel. And I'll see you next time. Bye.


Let's continue our progress towards developing the standard algorithm, and so again the key concepts that we want to keep in mind are multiplication is a repeated addition, the properties of the whole number multiplication, and again the base trade rate. So let's take a harder product, 38 times 62, and so the product 38 times 62 is the same as the sum of, again, 38, 62, so we'll set down a place value chart, arithmetic is bookkeeping, so we'll keep track of the amounts that we have. So I want to find a whole bunch of 62s, so here I have 6 tens, 2 ones, 100s, 1000s, and maybe I'll need more places, but I'll add in a couple of places and add in more places as necessary. And I want 38, 62s, well 38, 62s, 38 is 30, and 8, so I'll start with 30, 62s, so well that's 36s in the tens place, that's 180, and again I should bundle and trade as I go along so that trade rate of 10 for 1, that 180, becomes 18 in the next place, I'll bundle and trade, and there's my 36s, and likewise I'm going to need 32s, and so that's going to be 32s here, so all together that's going to be 60, and again I'll do the bundle and trade. I also need 8, 62s, so I'm going to take 8, 6s, so that's going to get me 48, so there's my 8, 6s, 48, I'll bundle and trade, and I also need 8, 2s, that's 16, and bundle and trade, and so there's my 36s, 8, 30, 62s, there's my 8, 62s, all together I have 38, 62s, and again arithmetic is bookkeeping, so I'm just going to add everything together. Now I'm going to do this in two steps using what we had previously called totals below, just to make my life easier, and so I have 6 ones, I have, let's see, this is 1, 7, 15 tens, I have 8 and 4, I have 12, 100s and 1,000, and again I should bundle and trade just to make my life easier, so I will bundle and trade, and then I do one more total, and there's my final answer, 2, 300s, 5 tens, 6, and there's my product, 38 times 62.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here? This is gonna be a review for the 2018 film bumblebee bumblebee is coming only a year after last year's God awful entry in the Transformers series Transformers the last night the last movie that was directed by Michael Bay. Thank God because in this new film we get a lot more We have a bit of fresh a refreshing point. This is like the refreshing point in the franchise So in this movie, this is a prequel this takes place before the actual original movie that came out in 2007 starring Shia LaBeouf and Megan Foxon everyone everyone knows about that movie That was one of the biggest hits when it came out back in 2007 Right off the bat this movie is bumblebee itself is already established as Being better in terms of like tone color tones. That's one of the biggest things I noticed if you actually sit down you look at Michael Bay's films compared to this one You'll see what I'm talking about. There's like a a lot of over saturated color tones and Michael Bay's films there's a lot of more a lot more emphasis on sex and hell of a lot more emphasis on Just the subplots that ultimately never go anywhere whereas in this movie You don't have all that over saturation You have a love interest, but it's not to the point where it's overshadowing what the actual Point of the film where everyone here to is to see it's not overshadowing the Transformers or the people involved with the transformers in the battle that is going on between the human race Combined with the Autobots versus the Decepticons You don't have all this unnecessary comedic comedic stuff that's constantly being thrown at you this movie has comedic elements But it's not to the point where it's just overkill. It's balanced. Well, there's a lot of humor in the movie the action is fine Like just everything about the movie was done so much better than the things we've gotten in the past This isn't like saying this isn't saying much because the only real decent film in the Transformers series In my opinion that we've gotten is the one that came out of 2007 I was around nine years old at the time when that movie came out So that was a big deal for me in theaters because I grew up with the Watching reruns of the old cartoons with the G1 designs Optimus Prime Bumblebee all that good stuff In the movie in the way we have We're going back to the 80s. That's a time when the Transformers I think they were at their They were at their peak or they were most prominent in the late 80s or around the 80s time period The movie kept perfectly captures them in their prime We have the G1 designs back in this movie Taking place in the 80s. It focuses on a young girl Haley stocks Haley Steinfeld which portrays this character names Charlie. She's just turned 18 She receives Bumblebee who has taken the form of a volts wagon, which I think is like the more common way Most fans are accustomed to seeing him as why we're not used to seeing him as that as the Camaro that we see him like in the Other films. I think everyone's used to the volts wagon the beetle volts wagon. But anyway He has come to earth in this movie After the Cybertron war has gone to hell and it seems like all hope is lost He has come to or come to earth with instructions from Optimus Prime to set up a base for the Autobots to Take take base and take take recovery and take shelter until they can come up with another plan I guess to take Cybertron back from the Decepticons Once he arrives he is he encounters Like one of he encounters a group of a training or he interrupts a training Station or a training routine going on between the individuals that are involved in sector 7 Sector 7 has been prominent in this series since the original 2007 film of they're the military group that's constantly Involved in going after the Autobots and the Decepticons. They're always writing thick of things even though they don't really offer much Thankfully, they aren't as big as a big day They don't impact the film as much here whereas they did in the past It feels like that was what they were more mostly focusing on just this government agency trying to take down of Take down these alien robots like with no real motive behind it other than to just take them down because they're extraterrestrial beings But with this move we have characters that get enough character development that it allows the audience to care for them There's not a lot of the action in this movie is not so overwhelming to the point where you can't identify Who is who and it's not just you can easily tell who is on whose side and there's not the reason I think the problem with Michael Bay's films is that he was trying to do too much or the film that he was directing the script Was calling for a bit too much so that was kind of putting him in a bad spot to try to actually perfectly execute something Something that was cohesive and coherent when it actually came to shoot those battle scenes because in a lot of the scenes in His films you can't identify Which Decepticon is which is this a Autobot who is this who is this is this Starscream? Who is that is that Megatron? It was kind of like a who you couldn't identify who was who or what was going on in some of his other movies because There was just so much being thrown at you and it's like it was like overwhelming to the point where you couldn't tell What was going on it? It just looked like a complete Mess of just random explosion sequences. That's what it looked like Now this movie does have that it has all those things that everyone loves from Michael Bay's films Which are his which is his amazing ability to make explosions on the big screen, of course the explosion in this movie are amazing they Captivating they are very entertaining to watch the battle sequences in the movie They are in short supply sadly for this outing, but it's not It was probably for the best because I feel like if they tried to do what Michael Bay did it probably would have gotten to the point We're now okay. We're back where we were with the other ones We don't know who's who we don't know why why is this battle sequence for so long and that's another thing That was wrong with Bay's films. His films their battle sequences. They were just so long So it was kind of taken away from everything else in the movie And it just kind of made the audience want to get up and go at that point But Bumblebee stars Haley sign Haley Steinfeld George Lindenburg Lindenburg John Cena Jason Drucker Steven Schneider John Ortiz and Gracie Disney Charlie is our main character. She's just turned 18. She's she's like an outcast in her family and outcast at school she develops a bond with a Volkswagen Beetle that she received as a birthday gift from junkyard man in her area He gives it to her as a gift. She doesn't pay anything for it She comes to find out that this is a that the car is actually alive. We find out it's bumblebee She teams up with the bumblebee and his in his quest to take out the decepticons that are hunting him in this movie They have run-ins with the military So it's kind of like the formula that you the formula that you've seen from the previous Transformers movies But the difference is that it's not the difference with these movies is that with this movie specifically is that it's telling a coherent story It's not telling it's not telling you too much that it becomes hard to follow It's just bumblebee and these two decepticons that are following him And then it's building the the relationship between Charlie and Bumblebee is constantly being built up throughout the film So it's beautiful to see these two interact with each other kind of gives you like a vibe of the iron giant and et The extra terrestrial if you're familiar with those movies that you'll be able to see what I'm talking about in this movie and Judging from the trailer already knew that this movie was gonna be something a bit different and was gonna bring Like a lot of focus to developing characters more because of because of the way they showcased Charlie and Bumblebee in the trailer. So I just knew that we were gonna get something different right off the bat judging from the trailers alone The two decepticons that were hunting Bumblebee in the movie were Shatter and Dropkick So right there just just just just allowing two decepticons to be the enemies in the movie You don't have to worry about anything else nothing becomes it never gets to the one where you have to wonder who is who? Whose side is what you don't have to worry about any of that stuff because there's only two two decepticons One Autobot and they all have distinctive designs that you can easily identify what's going on They don't all share similar character designs like the ones in Michael Bay's films did Director Travis Knight Travis Knight I give my hats off to him. He did an amazing job of Directing a very heartwarming script written by I think her name was Christina Hudson this movie injects The this movie injects life into the Transformers series because I felt like honestly after the first one They all started to keep declining down and it seems like this movie takes a is the first movie to take that right Path back up instead of going downward This movie seems to be trying to take the series back up and dig itself out of the grave that it's currently sitting in If I had to give the movie anything on the scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 7 I thought the acting was fine Haley Steinfeld. She did an amazing job as the female lead. I've known she was a good actress I've seen some of her other other pieces. She's amazing The character of Bumbi not much to say with him Bumbi is amazing for what he does. He's adorable at times of when he gets violent He's amazing John Cena while I felt he I Like I kind of enjoyed his comedic moments. He had his comedic moments I think he shined most the brightest in those moments because they're moments when he's trying to be serious And I think a lot of people can agree that I couldn't really take him serious because I know John Cena from watching WWE so I couldn't really take him serious when he was trying to be serious because I know I See him try to be serious on TV a lot, and I don't take him serious then either But yeah, if I had to give it as anything on the scale of 1 to 10 I'd give it a 7 Bumblebee while it is not a perfect film. It does have its logic gaps here and there such as the fact that Bumblebee is arriving in 1987, but I do believe in the last night We found out that he was here during World War two So that already creates a bit of a question mark and then another thing about the movie It's not really clear what it's trying to do here I don't know if it's trying to completely erase the other films or if it's trying to start Completely new. I know it's a spin-off, but I thought it was still tied into taking place before what happens with Sam with Wiki so I Don't really know because the whole idea that he arrived here in 1987 It feels like they're ignoring the other movies And then there's a lot of scenes in the movie where you're like no that can't be right because this happened in this movie That can't happen because this happened in that movie. You'll see what I'm talking about in the film The as far as like what scenes it made me say this is an iron giant inspired or ET extraterrestrial film There's like scenes at the very end where Bumblebee He has like the moment if you see an iron giant You'll know what I'm talking about the moment where the giant turns evil and he has the red eyes So they have like something similar to that in this movie at the end So in a way, it's kind of rehashing a lot here as well. That's why I'm giving it a seven It's not in order for it to go higher than a seven in the next entry It would need to keep doing what it did here, but still offer a lot more a lot a lot of more original content because while This wasn't this was not very original because Steven Spielberg has been attached as the Executive producer for pretty much every film, but he got he had like a more hands-on engagement with this piece so you could easily see where he probably blended his help in certain aspects because of the Comparisons to ET and all of the other works that he's done in the past over his decor decorated career Bumblebee is a worthy entry into the franchise probably the most probably the best entry that we've gotten since the 2007 original film Haley Steinfeld is awesome. John Cena is fine for what he does everyone else in the cast is great The relationship in the character development that's that's amazing That's something that was definitely lacking in Bayes films There was not enough time to get to know the characters and when things happen to them You ultimately didn't care it became to the point where you were just paying to see a bunch of things explode on the big Screening with loud sound effects behind them. I give Bumblebee a seven out of ten I hope they keep doing this and I hope they keep going in the right path with future entries and make it better But let me know what you guys think about Bumblebee down in the comment section below if you've seen it already If you enjoyed my review make sure you give this video a thumbs up if you haven't already subscribed to our post notifications So you never miss a video in the description. I'll have links to all my social media accounts I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can mention me there to let me know what movies or news You would like me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys. I will see you in the next video


What if the church and state were one and the same? Can you imagine a world in which our political leaders would also be our spiritual leaders? An intriguing question, isn't it? We need to look at our history and study the founding of our country, the first country to codify the separation of church and state. The year was 1776, a time of revolution and revolutionary ideas. The founding, enlightened by the age of reason, recognized the danger of intertwining religion and government. The founders saw the terrible things religious intolerance had done to people in Europe, and they sought to prevent that in their new nation. So they adopted the First Amendment with enlightened language that said, Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. This amendment, adopted in 1791, effectively separated church and state, establishing a precedent for future democracies worldwide. Over the next two centuries, our country grew and flourished around this visionary separation. It has shaped our country's history and has been a cornerstone of our democracy and a bulwark against intolerance, and it has promoted a diverse and inclusive society. It was sometimes a difficult task. We have had tensions over prayer in schools, the placement of religious symbols in public places, and the right of abortion. Indeed, the 21st century has seen many church and state issues come to the fore, and we should be concerned that the separation the founders called for is being forgotten. Our precious First Amendment is now being attacked by those who would foist their religion on others and who do not tolerate the religious views of those others. Our religious freedoms are being curtailed by officials who engage in religious intolerance and bigotry, and who allow others to engage in that intolerance and bigotry. And there are those who commit religious hate crimes against others, and those in our government and justice system who do not hold them properly accountable for those crimes. 200 years after it was adopted, the First Amendment is a victim of increasing political opposition. Where our country was once a beacon and a symbol of religious freedom to the world, it is not clear that we still are. We must all remember the wisdom of the founders and what they left to us, and we must all do everything we can to preserve religious freedom and the separation of church and state in our country, not only in the political cycle, but always.


I am Muhammed Kara. I am working as a consultant software engineer at Collaboraproactivity. I would like to tell you a little bit about a new feature of LibreOffice. We have been developing lately. It's document reduction, which can be used in collaborative environments to prevent leakage of sensitive information. Can you hear me now? Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am Muhammed Kara from Turkey. I work mainly on core and UI of LibreOffice. I am at Collaboraproactivity since last December. I was at Pardus project before. On the community site, I am a certified LibreOffice developer and a longtime GNOME contributor, member of the GNOME document foundation. What is reduction? Most people ask me about this because it has different meanings. We use the meaning here as sanitization. Wikipedia describes it as a process of removing sensitive information from a document or other message so that the document may be distributed to a broader audience. It can be personal information on some patient records or some citizen information in some government institution, things like that. Why? The reason for reduction depends on situation and use case, but these are some of them. It can be used to unclassified documents. Some institutions and governments release some classified documents after some time, but they need to reduce personal information. Or it can be used for privacy protection and data anonymization, like mass information that can be used for statistics or for scientific research, but which contain personal data which shouldn't be disclosed. Reduction can be used also for that and prevent information leak in collaborative environments where users and groups have different access levels to information and documents. You deduct the document before sharing with others. Who are possible users, governments and military, public institutions, and anyone who would like to share information without disclosing personal and private information. The rest is up to your imagination. The only thing is to deduct personal private information that needs to stay private. Let me tell you a little about the usual process. We expect this process for our product to be used in the LibreOffice. You open a document in LibreOffice Writer or CALC, a spreadsheet or a word processing document.  Then it is ready to be shared. You click a button in LibreOffice and it takes your document into reduction mode. Then you deduct the document in LibreOffice Draw and you can then export it and share with others a sanitised version of it. This is how the technical process goes. We convert the document in Writer or CALC document into a metafile. It is simply a description of what is seen on a screen. Then we spawn a LibreOffice Draw instance and insert our metafile into Draw. Each document page into a page of LibreOffice Draw. Then we automatically open LibreOffice Reduction Toolbar because we are in the reduction process. Then when user is done with the reduction, when user clicks on the export button, we flatten or pixelise the document so that it no longer consists of any textual information which can be selected. It is only an image so that normally if you draw rectangles or blacken some parts of a text, then turn it into a PDF. You can still choose the parts and copy that into another work processor and by changing colours and background, you can still get the data. To prevent that, we pixelise the pages. This is how Reduction Toolbar looks like at the moment. We have a rectangle reduction tool. It allows you to draw rectangles on the areas that should be redacted. We have a free form reduction tool. It allows you to, like using a pen on a paper, you can redact freely. Then you click on the export tool, export button. It asks you for a location to export, then pixelises the document and writes that as a PDF document. It is still working progress. We will add more features to that, but this is what we have at the moment. Even now, actually, it can be used for some purposes. How do we do it? There are some products specifically developed for this purpose. It only serves for reduction purpose and it is sold or licensed for some good amounts, per user amounts, some of them. We already had the document editing facilities in LibreOffice, so we already had most of the pieces. We decided to develop this feature on top of LibreOffice. We are working on the core rep of LibreOffice, which is master or development branch. Everything we do is open source and it can be immediately accessed by everyone and can be used. It is being developed by a collaborative productivity team, not completely at the point where we won't yet. It is still working progress, so if you try it, if you use it, expect unstabilities. But the reports are very welcome. We are still working on adding more features. I guess we have some more time. I would like to show how it works. I'll show it on the development version, so it is intentionally inefficient, it's a debug build. We open a document, for example, a document in Writer, or we prepare a document in Writer. Then when we are ready to Reduct and Share, we select Reduct, and it is transferred into LibreOffice Draw, and Reduction Tool Bar is automatically opened. You can select a Rectangle Reduction Tool to Reduct with Rectangles. It keeps selected, the tool is selected as long as you keep using it. Then you can also use the Free Reduction Tool, like drawing with a pen on a paper. You can share with others with same access level as like this. So they can confirm the reduction, or you can blacken the Reducted areas. I will do just one of them. It is not complete yet, because... Then we are done with the document. We click on the Export button. We choose a location and save it. And we have a Reducted document. You see the text under this rectangle is gone for good. It no longer exists. Okay, any questions? The file size depends on the content of the document, and of course it is bigger than a text document, because it's a bitmap. Any other questions? Sorry, could you repeat please? Oh, I see. It can be a future development. As I said, we are still developing. We are not even at the middle of our plans, so we can add more features like making non-reducted text selectable. That could be a future feature. Any other questions? Thank you.


Great, so I have my presentation now. What I'm going to tell you about is, well, you can read it also, but custom Debian distributions and derivatives from Debian. And I'm Igaris Makhinoz. First, as always, we can start by definitions. And for the purposes of this talk, I would define what a distribution basically is. And it's basically kernel, and some software to accompany the kernel. And it is made in some format with some defaults and something made by adjusting the configuration. As it was mentioned previously, some services or some community is also part of the package of the distribution. What is a derived distribution? Well, it's another distribution that's made out of the base distribution. It's probably changed a bit because someone didn't like something in the base distribution. And what is a custom distribution? That's kind of a new thing. It's a toolkit that allows someone to create a derived distribution without actually deriving from the base distribution just defining what changes does he want to make. We'll see that a bit later in the detail how it works. Many distributions have been the mothers of other distributions. And here we have the basic family tree of Linux distributions. We have the Red Hat branch with the Mandrake, SUSE, Fedora, based off the Red Hat. There are around 50 distributions that are based off the Red Hat. We have the Debian branch with around the base of that. We have Slackware with 30 distributions of it. And some other smaller mother distributions with 5 to 10 derived distributions from like 10 to Linux from scratch. And also there are distributions that are made from scratch like Linux from scratch, but the other way. And they are independent. So the question basically is why so many distributions have been derived from Debian? Why is it so good to derive from Debian? Well, one thing is we have strict policy. We have very high packaging standards. We basically have a definition of what we think is a good package. What we think is a nicely packaged software and we see that this definition is upheld. If some package does not fit... Sleeper. I'll be pressing this rapidly now. If we... It doesn't help, right? So I must press it more than once per second, right? I think the video team is working on something. But okay, I'll continue that. If a package does not confirm to our policy, a serious bug is filed against it by someone who cares about it, of course. Many do. We have a gigantic number of packaged programs. It was like over 15,000 when I was last looking at it, but it grows every day. We have very small and very simple base system that every custom distribution can build upon. And as you know, the simpler is the thing you are building upon, the more simple it is to build upon. Sometime ago, a couple of releases back, the base of Debian was just an archive that you simply unpacked and you got your basic system. It's done. Now it's a bit more complicated, but it's still the same easiest of views as before, but more flexible. And that is the next point. We have very flexible installation infrastructure. The Debian installer, the key point of this current woody release of Debian that happened just, sorry. Whatever. The stable. It has a Debian installer, which is an extremely flexible tool for installing an operating system. You can make modules for it that could do anything to the system you want to create in the end. You can create a custom CD to run your modified installer off, and that will be a derived distribution there. One other point that some people consider disadvantage of Debian, and I think that could be an advantage here. We have a very long release cycles. That means we have a very stable base to build upon. Some people don't want to remake their derived distribution every four to five months as a new Fedora version comes out. I don't know why. They just don't want to. You don't have to with Debian. You can wait for two or three years without doing anything major, but of course you can do more. Always you can do more. One very, very important point is that Debian is non-commercial. That brings some more aspects to it. First of all, users of your derived distribution can usually get some support of Debian channels. Debian RC, Debian mailing lists. If you're not deriving too broadly, of course. Debian is not a contestant for you. It's not a concurrent for you. You don't need to compete with Debian. There's no Debian sales task force that will be mad at you for selling too much of your derived distribution. We don't care. We'll be happy for you, actually. There's a lot of freelance experts that are Debian developers. You can hire them. You can get the best expertise you want on the Debian and you can hire it into your company. Get the best experts. That's why there are lots of them. I think one of the first and one of the loudest Debian derivatives is Knoppix, made by Klaus Knopper from Germany. The innovative thing was that that was a live CD. That was the thing that has never been seen before an operating system running directly off the compact disc without touching any hard drive and living in the memory. Very strange. That's why it has spawned basically hundreds and hundreds of derivatives, including some derivatives that are not based on Debian. There are now SUSE live CDs. There are now Slackware live CDs and there are now even live CDs based on other operating systems. I've actually seen one based on Windows. It's crappy but it works sometimes. What Knoppix can be told of? It's the best way to try Linux and free software environment without actually installing anything, without changing anything on your computer. As it doesn't depend on anything that is on your computer, it's the best system recovery tool. You can always boot Knoppix regardless of if you just reformatted your hard drive accidentally. And it is a stable environment wherever you go. I've seen some people that cannot afford a notebook but they have made a version of Knoppix for them and they have a $15 USB key. So they put the USB key in, put the CD with Knoppix in, they boot from the CD and they have all their programs, they have all their settings loaded from the USB key and they can start working on any computer in a matter of a couple of minutes. Ubuntu is one of the very, very, very prominent now Debian derivative. You can actually, as you've been told before, get some of it there. It has been founded by Mark Shuttleworth. I think multi-billionaire who can count that? With the idea of giving the humanity to others, that's basically what the word Ubuntu means in some African language. I don't know which one, but whatever. And he gives work, he employs more than 40 Debian developers to create a distribution that would be usable by common man, basically by him for starts and then by everybody else too. They have a fixed release cycle. Sometimes it's good but sometimes it could be bad but they've decided to release every six months and they have developed a lot of interesting features that are basing on the Debian infrastructure but they have built upon it and now they are starting to contribute it back to Debian and we're seeing that this collaboration between the derivative distribution is going on quite well. And what I see about Ubuntu it is very frequently now advertised as the first distribution for a newbie to try. It's something that you can just give to a new Linux user, here, take it, try it, whatever, go away. When you have problems, they usually don't come back because they don't have problems. Well, that's the beauty of it. There are a lot of distributions that are specialized for a certain area, for a certain country or even for a certain city, like Viennese for the city Viennese administration or Linux for the Spanish I'll not try to... Extremadura region Arabics for the Arabian languages Catics for Czechs and Lease Linux from Latvian school distribution. Basically, there are hundreds of them but nobody knows about most of them because they are only known in the city, in the region where they are specialized in. If there is such a distribution in your area, then probably it's one of the best to try because, well, it will be adjusted to your language it will be adjusted to your time zone and it will have quite a lot of users and developers locally that you can contact and try to get support from. One other thing that's very interesting, it's a lot of special purpose distributions have been popping up. For example, the big example actually, the Skoll Linux, the distribution for schools that has now actually become a custom Debian distribution has been integrated back into Debian in some sort and has provided a lot of help in developing the Debian installer. I think that's the most prominent, the best example of contributing back to the base distribution that I've seen at this point. There's also some other educational distributions like free CD, Seoul and basically lots of them because schools like Linux. Scientists like Linux and that's why there are scientific distributions like Bionics for biology research Geoliver for research on cartography, mapping. Of course hobbies like Linux and that's why there are distributions for their specific needs like Agnula for people that are working with sound. They have some very special needs and that's why they make a special distribution that is fitted to their needs. Hammocks for the amateur radio operators. Some people see that general distributions are not fit for them in a security sense like for example they have network cards enabled or like they have some other services enabled actually that they actually let people to get access to the system at all and that's why they make a special distributions with higher security levels that are to be used in extremely secure environments like military environments and super secret servers or whatever and Adamantix is one of the examples there. If you want a server but you don't want to read manuals for all the services you want to have installed or oriented distributions that you can pop in a CD and have a server with several dozens of services configured coming out of it. You can actually do similar things with some other special purpose distributions. For example Skor Linux has a mode for installing server and you get a lot of services configured that way that server could be used not only in school but in some other environments but that's what all special purpose distributions are all about making the defaults differently adapted to a special purpose. So if there is a special purpose any special purpose there can be a distribution made for that purpose. Some distributions are made to serve as a commercial base to serve as a stable base, a controlled base that you can provide services of or that you can further modify to adjust to needs of your client and while we see Ubuntu here we see Progeny that making custom distributions for the clients we see the project that I was leading back in Latvia, Amber Linux and the aim of such a distribution is actually not to make a best distribution as one of the aims is to make a distribution that your people that are working here for you know all about they know all the quirks of this distribution and the second aim is to train your people to know all the quirks and when you have this commercial base distribution completed you have not only a base to provide your services of you have also the people that are actually able to change anything in your distribution to fit your needs and as we see many reasons to make custom Debian distributions we see a reason to make that simpler and that's where a custom Debian distribution framework comes in. The basic idea is to make a software and a set of format definitions that allow you to well defined maybe simple files create a custom Debian distribution version. Make something that will adjust itself to your needs afterwards when you're installing it. As this custom Debian distribution is not actually a derivative in the sense that it can exist inside Debian. It is actually Debian but with some adjustments it means it has a lot less work to make it and less work to maintain it than a distribution on its own. So basically this framework provides you with all the features that usually derivative distributions use you can make a selection of packages you want to install for example you want the Apache server to be installed by default and you don't want any graphical interface installed well that's one of the selection possibilities. You adjust configuration of packages you make some other defaults that do not make sense in your specific purpose you overwrite some files maybe some packages you recompile maybe with some patches apply to them and some other packages you add which are not in Debian which is quite rare but sometimes you need that and after that you can get a lot of derivatives with very little effort. What I see the future of this derivatives and custom Debian distributions basically is I see that there will be less and less actual derivation from Debian because it's less work to maintain something that is basically a small description of a change than to maintain a couple hundred packages and CDs and servers to do it in backtracking systems and whatever the less you have to work to maintain it and we are lazy people as you know you have more comfortability gains because for example use your derivative audio distribution and at one moment you need to install a web server you most probably will be able to just install a prepackaged web server from Debian directly and you will not have to do anything to do that you have just compatibility with Debian you will not have to retrain your system administrator so users because it's basically Debian you can describe the changes on a couple of sheets of paper and that's all retraining they'll need and you will be able to yourself as a Debian derivative be able to be a base for other derivatives that will somehow make your derivation more precise for their needs and they will contribute back to you making your custom Debian distribution better and you will contribute back to Debian making Debian better more contribution back to base is what I see a future for all derivatives and custom Debian distributions because the more improvements you have a lot of improvements in your derivatives and the more of these improvements you get back into the base Debian the less improvements you have to support yourself again laziness driver for innovation and of course I see that as future custom Debian distributions will be easier to create, maintain and easier to use, install and upgrade and whatever if there is a purpose there will probably be a custom Debian distribution realizing that purpose, a tool fitted for that so to summarize all that stuff there are hundreds, hundreds of Debian derivatives they're customized for purpose usually they're the best tools for that purpose they base on Debian and add their own benefits when time goes the more they'll be integrated back into Debian and will concentrate on the strength becoming better and better and easier and soon even you and even I will be able to make a custom Debian distribution with little effort thank you are there any questions people might be interested in knowing is it a good idea if you're new to Debian should you start with the basic Debian or you should start with one of the supposedly more easy to use derivatives I think the question is whether if you're new to Debian if you should try to use Debian or one of the derivative distributions I think that if you have a special purpose in mind for example working on a desktop only for example if you're a secretary and absolutely not for any kind of a software development then probably you should use one of the custom Debian distributions that are optimized for desktop use maybe afterwards you would be interested in contributing back to Debian and then you would be also interesting to see more flexible base Debian system but for a very simple beginner it could be more preferable to use a custom version so the question was basically from the Ubuntu point of view is there anything that Ubuntu can do to help Debian make it easier to have custom distributions I think that would be very preferable if Ubuntu would somehow join the effort of creating the custom Debian distribution framework so that in the end the Ubuntu can actually become a custom Debian distribution and not invent the basic tools for themselves My question has to do with an issue that has been brought to my attention from a few perspectives recently and that as some of us know we've had some issues that we've been coping with trying to come up with a better trademark license for the Debian logo for the Debian mark itself One of the concerns that has been expressed to me is that there are many Debian derivatives that don't wear their Debian identity on their sleeve more or less and it might be advantageous if we had ways to encourage derivatives of Debian to promote the Debian brand if you will more know this comes from Debian, that Debian is ultimately the base and that the community that they can contribute to is not limited to their custom distribution but they can also contribute directly to the Debian project My question is an open-ended one in that I'm wondering what you think and what other people here think about ways that we can encourage derivative distributions to push the Debian brand, the Debian label, the Debian name and help people understand that one reason that their derivative distribution is so great is because it is based on Debian Yeah, that's a very hard question to... I wanted to emphasize though you'll notice that having that is a little bit in tension with having a strict trademark license on the Debian mark logo because the more you tighten that down the harder it is for people to legally comply with our requirements and the more we actually discourage people from playing up their Debian identity. I don't know how many people here are familiar with what's going on recently with the Linux Mark Institute but I think there's probably something we can learn from that as the Linux Mark Institute feels its way through the waters of telling people how they can use the Linux Mark, we're going to want to watch that and keep an eye on it because there's a balance to be struck between protecting your mark and basically having people route around your name and not mention you and erase you from the history books because your name is too hard to use. Sorry. Actually as my opinion is that as with any other intellectual property in the case of free software the less protection you have the better and I think that all the free software related trademarks should be put for open use and only be restricted in special cases like if there comes up a porno site calling itself Debian chicks maybe that would be a case maybe but I think that should be decided on an individual basis. My name is Andreas Tiller I'm the author of this CDD Toolkit in Debian and I just want to tell a small story. Last week I've got a male CDD Toolkit is not able to upload to FTP master and shortly after this I've got a male sorry from the man who had set up external set of Debian packages and he is just using it and back porting it to Sarge and I just ask him why are you using it and so he said well I have a little laboratory for teachers and we are just using it what you did and so what I learned is people are using the techniques we invented even if they are crappy I can say I'm the author it is crap and it is rewritten Sarge is rewriting the CDD Toolkit and so my answer to the people from Ubuntu is just joins this effort which is currently done to rewrite what was just a very little and small tool and make it better so that it works for all people and not only for the small purpose we have currently because people are using it and they are using it without our knowledge so I think it is good and we have to learn it that our users are wanting these tools Thank you Andreas and thank you Agars


Which TEFL courses are accredited? As learning the English language continues to rise in popularity all over the world, so too does the number of course providers offering TEFL certification. Unfortunately for potential trainees, there is little regulation governing TEFL course providers, which makes it hard to distinguish between the good, the bad and the downright ugly. The good news is, there is something you can do to check the quality of a course. If the course is accredited by an independent body, then it is fair to assume that it is of a reasonable standard. Essentially, an accrediting body is an independent third party who conducts a thorough review of the course provider's academic and professional standards, and, if satisfied, they provide their accreditation. How can I tell if a TEFL course is accredited? When researching potential courses, you should look out for any accreditation banners on the provider's website. These should be easy to spot, as they will be keen to let you know that their courses are accredited. Although most accreditations you come across will be genuine, it is still wise to check out any that you are not sure about, as it is easy for a provider to simply set up their own accrediting body that isn't actually recognized within the TEFL world or by international employers. How else can I check the validity of a TEFL course? Although accreditation by respected teaching organizations is a good indicator of the quality of an individual course, you should also do some research into what people have to say about their experience of completing the course. An online search should provide some answers via forums and blogs. If a course is accredited and the feedback from previous trainees is generally positive, then you should find that the course will provide you with the training and certification you need to confidently start your new teaching career. Are ITTT TEFL courses accredited? At ITTT, we are proud to be accredited by and affiliated to some of the most highly respected organizations within the TEFL world. Full details can be found by visiting our Accreditations and Affiliations page. You can also take a look at what our many graduates have to say about our courses via our TEFL testimonials page.


What's up guys welcome to today's video so guess what today we are going to cut a pretty cool haircut Let me actually grab that haircut and show you what it's going to be So this is the haircut that we're going to be working on I know it's a little crazy style But we had some fun with some spray wax to talk about that in a second But just the lines that we're going to create in this cut you can see how it passes around We do sort of like a round graduation. Actually it is a round graduation and we pull it into the back We create this point. So A ton of technical things that you're going to learn in this cut today Also, my new friends at evo sent me this box of products. So today we're going to kind of build this haircut around Using some of those products as well. So let me unbox some of these products and share with you guys what they sent Not only did they send a ton of really great products, but this box is hilarious speed dating the perfect arena to get a bite-sized taste Without the instant life commitment evo is committed to no commitment unless you want to commit then we are fully committed or not I mean, we like you but no pressure who wants to conform to the standard social relationships We get where you're coming from unless you want something more which we're up for but you know, whatever the funniest part about that is the fact that That's exactly. I think how I explain things. So it made no sense, but it makes sense. All right So we got a ton of products here. We have a dry spray wax, which I use in this style I also use the lock down. So I will talk about those in the video the rest of these products I have not used yet. So I have experience with these two not so much with these I'll most likely be doing future videos with these products so that you guys can kind of learn more about them But for now, we're going to stick to these two this haircut. I don't want to waste any more time I'm super excited to show you guys this technique thinking evo for the products. Let's get started All right guys, so we're going to get started with the haircut today. I'm super excited to bring you guys this round graduation Key things here just to start it off is the sectioning sectioning is pretty standard parietal ridge back to mid crown wrapping it around creating a U shape on the top of the head Splitting it to the vision line and then breaking up into two panels in the back Now I'm going to start working on the right hand side first now my finger angle is really important in this haircut Making sure that that finger is pointing in the direction you want to go with your shape or the outer perimeter line So what I wanted to do first in this cut is really create and this is a kind of a Sassoon Inspired start to this cut and it was in their graduation series So what I wanted to do was create a hard line and build a graduation off of that And that's where I took for one of the videos Then we're going to go and I'm going to put my little spin on it Which is taking the top and doing some dry cutting To really create a bunch of texture on top of the head. So taking a very classic shape And then modernizing it or just giving it my own touch not necessarily making it modern But just giving it my own flair at the end so The way that you create the line is just keeping everything at a low elevation Pretty much we'll call it zero degrees, but I don't like to say zero degrees because I think the degrees confuses people I just want to keep at the lowest elevation possible because the lower your elevation Um, the stronger the line is going to be at the bottom So I start off cutting that line Notice as well that finger angle is kind of pointing up more towards the nose than it is down towards the chin And what that's going to do is start to bring that line up Um, this haircut I think is cool and it stands out because typically we follow the jaw line I wanted to go kind of from the back up to the more of the cheekbone area And kind of enhance that a little bit. So, um, that's my take on this haircut So now I've got my hard line. You can see that graduation built in there But it's super heavy. So I'm going to go through and now just elevate it slightly Still keeping it as a graduation, but and and then follow the round of the head Um, to keep my round shape, right? So if you look at the outer perimeter line or the line that runs horizontally That's going to be the shape that we're creating. So just going up through there Taking small half inch, uh, sections or partings and then bringing them out and graduating them up Now your initial guideline comes from your line at the very bottom at the hairline, right? So, uh, just make sure that's why you want that strong perimeter line first Then you go in and you will, um, graduate from there So you'll notice that my fingers are pointing down I think this is a key thing and and a lot of people struggle with, uh, hand positioning and hair cutting I always think about my thumb is pointing in the direction I'm going So if I'm moving to the right, then my thumb will be pointing to the right And you'll notice that when I take this section Then I what I want you guys to notice is that when I go to the left side Now all of a sudden my fingers are pointing up My thumb is pointing to the left because that's the direction I'm moving in that way That just keeps me consistent in my combing And the more consistent you are with combing the more consistent your haircut is going to be So taking a little bit of the old hair grabbing some of the new hair Making sure you have a clean guideline in there and you don't want to take too thick of a section Too many people grab too much hair at once And in some cases that works but in precision cutting When you grab too much hair and you're over directing it too much You're building a totally different You're pushing weight every single time you do that I guess is the easiest way I can say it So just be very careful with how much weight how much hair you're grabbing in your section And it's mostly because of the over direction not because you can't see your guide So we're finishing up the right hand side what I'm going to do is I'm going to speed up the video As we do the left hand side because it's exactly the same The only difference is make sure you watch my hand positioning and where my thumb is pointing And that's the only change that we make but we cut our line and then we do our graduation All right, so now we're going to kick off the blow-dry using the lockdown product from evo The thing I love about this product is it's not only a smoothing treatment, but it has a little bit of hold It gives style control and it's designed for frizzy and unruly hair So if you have anything like that and this is definitely a good product for you So check out this in the blow-dry. I'm going to do a flat wrap technique really working the head shape Especially because this is a round shaped haircut. I want to work the round the head back and forth Doing a little bit of leafing just to add a little bit of volume and just working my way through the blow-dry Now I'm using the ergo diamond head paddle brush. I love this Brush is one of my favorites because I love a paddle brush, but I love a mini paddle brush even more So if you want to check one of those out, go to freesaloneducation.com You can get yourself one of those brushes and then I'm going through with the paul mitral pro tools iron and just working Some iron work in there to smooth everything out and then I let down the top and I start to blow dry You might ask why did I blow dry the bottom first and then blow dry the top? I like to keep it separated get the bottom exactly the way I want it and then let down the top blow it dry Then I can smooth that out. So now we're going to finish this haircut Really just personalize it using a tease cutting technique what the tease cutting technique does it creates a really soft edge to your line So basically what I do is I elevate the hair now when I put the scissor into the hair It's a half close of the scissor. So as I move the scissor into the hair I'm actually half closing it which pinches the hair in there and it actually removes the hair that way I'm not just sliding the blade Along the hair. I really want to make sure that I'm cutting. So when you practice this technique Practice it on a dull head or somebody you don't like You want to make sure that you practice the technique sliding in and half closing the scissor and then releasing And then slide in half close the scissor and release And then I'm working around the head shape from the mid crown area All the way around following the round of the head to keep this around feeling haircut So now as I get to the front of the head shape the only thing is really going to change is I bring it over to me Instead of continuing to follow around the round of the head. So I'm going to push a little extra length Right into that front center Of the cut because then I'm going to go in after this and I'm going to cut it a little bit different So as I work to the left hand side the body position gets a little bit Different. So what happens is now I scoop underneath and I pull it towards me My key thing here is that I really want to make sure that Every time I take a section I'm doing it the same way as I did on the opposite side and not the same way as like my hand positioning is the same But the same way is I'm pulling the hair the same way So I was pulling it back to me on the ones on the right side and now I'm pulling it back to me on the left side As we get to the front I will redirect it a little bit back and we push that weight to the front and then you're going to be able to see Now as we move into it What i'm going to do in the top of the haircut So now we're going to start putting in our outer perimeter line Now a lot of people think that the line happens in the wet cut the wet cut what we were doing at the beginning is just really We were establishing our shape and establishing our length But not necessarily the outer perimeter line of the haircut So what I do is I start in the back and I work my line up to behind the ear And then I go to the very front of the head and I start to decide exactly where I want that to hit Which is around the cheekbone area So I define the line in the back where I get it started And then I go to the front and I connect it into the back and that seems to work the best for me So just using the tip of the scissor and then as I get that line in I go through and I just kind of chop away at it until I get the line exactly the way that I want So notice all the tiny little details that go into creating this outer perimeter know that this did not take me The two minutes that you're watching this probably took me 10 to 15 minutes of just really going around And cutting in that outer perimeter line Now I just finish up with a little bit of point cutting just to take out a little bit of density In the shape just to soften everything and then in the very front I go back in with some tease cutting to finish off this technique And that's a heavy stroke you can see But what that does just removes a ton of weight lightens up the bang Gives it a side bang kind of feel to it So decide which direction you want that to go in pull it all over there and cut it So I'm going to finish up with she bang a bang the dry spray wax from evo I'm going to spray that in add a ton of texture. You can see this is the calm version of the style So lots of texture in there, but still that nice perimeter line I really love the shape and then I go in really blast it with the product because I want to just create a ton of texture in this thing Give it some volume give it some movement And this to me is something that would be so great on curly hair straight hair works on pretty much everyone So try it out Let me know tag me at freeslawn education on social media so I can see your work or your version of this cut Thank you so much for watching if you have any questions post them in the comments below See you on the next video


So I've been playing around with this new AI tool called ChatGBT for the last three or four days or so. At first I had my doubts, but after these few days playing with it, I have been seriously impressed with what it can do. And today in this video, I'm gonna share with you three legit ways that you can make money online using this ChatGBT tool. Everybody's talking about this tool right now, so I'm pretty sure you've heard about it before, but if you haven't, what it is, it's an AI chat tool created by a company called OpenAI, which is an Elon Musk company. And what you can do is you can give it a command or ask it a question and it comes back with an answer. And these are legitimately good answers. It's not those trashy canned responses that you might be used to from previous AI tools. It comes back with good solid answers to the questions and commands that you give it. And so if you watch this video and use this ChatGBT tool, the way that I share with you today, it can take 80 to 90% of the upfront work off of your plate and help you make money a lot faster. The key to making this work is feeding it the right inputs. It still is a tool, you still need to tell it what to do, and so I'm gonna share with you what those inputs should be and how to use this tool effectively. Now real quick note before we jump in, these three strategies that I'm gonna share with you today, you can use this for your own business if you have a business, or you can use it to start a service and help other businesses and clients with this. So just think about that. As I go through these three strategies, you can use it for your own business or for clients and to start a service. And with that said, let's jump into these three legit ways that you can make money using ChatGBT right now. So the first way to make money with this is to use it to create a digital product. This could be a free product like a lead magnet that you use to get somebody onto your email list. It could be a written course similar to my email course, the seven day super fast sales email challenge, or you can use it to create the curriculum for an online course or coaching or consulting program. I can tell you from personal experience, from creating over a dozen different digital products. The hardest part is the research and the planning phase. ChatGBT can help you shrink this process down and do a lot of the research and thinking for you, the upfront work for you. So let's hop into my computer real quick. I'm gonna show you an example of how you can use this to create a digital product. Okay, so what you're seeing on the screen here is the ChatGBT interface. It's free to use right now and you can see this bar here at the bottom. You can tell it a command or ask it a question. So let's just say I wanna create a free lead magnet. So I'm gonna say something like build me a lead magnet how to, and let's see what it does. So now you can see it's going to work. It says here's a potential outline for a lead magnet and how to start a weekly email newsletter. And it's coming up with all these points that you can use. You can put this into a PDF. You can create a video training around this. And so there's different ways that you can package this up into a lead magnet. But you can see right here, it's mapping out the entire thing for you. Now, obviously what you wanna do is not just copy and paste it, you wanna tweak it and expand upon certain areas or add in your own feedback and input. But this does a lot of the thinking and research process for you. It gives you the ideas of how to structure an outline. Now let's try another example. Let's say that we wanna create an online course like my seven day super fast sales email channel. So let's just say something like write me a seven day email course on how to get first 100. So now what it's doing is it's creating me an actual course. I can use this as the curriculum. So day one, introduction and setting the stage. Day two, determine your target audience. So this is probably where I'd start with my stuff too. Day three, create a lead magnet, okay, awesome. It's telling me exactly how to structure my online course. So as you can see, pretty cool. It's going day by day showing me exactly what I should create my course around. Again, you wanna add your own feedback and your own input and your own experience in here. But this can do 80 to 90% of the upfront research and work for you. Now, if you don't have your own course or digital product or you don't have your own email list, what you can do is start a service where you're helping other creators and personal brands do this. You can help them create a digital product or launch a digital product or help them put a coaching or consulting program curriculum together. Just by asking this ChatGBT tool, these commands and questions. And you can see it builds it in real time for you. So that is strategy number one for making legit money with ChatGBT is to create a digital product. Strategy number two is to use ChatGBT to come up with video hooks and to even write you scripts for your videos. And this could be long or short form videos. So you can use ChatGBT if you have your own YouTube channel, for example, or your own TikTok account, you can use it to come up with ideas for your content, for your videos, whether that is long form or short form. Now, if you wanna start your own service around this and you don't have your own personal brand or don't have your own YouTube channel, whatever it is, you can start a service. And if you can pair this with video editing skills, this can be a pretty lucrative service. So for example, I pay an agency around $1,500 to $2,000 a month. What they do is they come up with video ideas for short and long form and they also take the videos like this one, for example, when it's done shooting, they take it, they edit it, they upload it to my channel and they charge around $1,500 to $2,000 a month for it depending on how many videos we're doing. So if you use ChatGBT in this way, you can use it for your own personal brand and your own content or you can start a service where you're getting paid four figures per month if you pair it with a skill like video edit. If you're getting paid $2,000 a month per a client, like what I pay, then you only need five clients to get a 10K plus a month. So let's hop into ChatGBT again. I'm gonna show a demo of how you can use it for the second strategy of creating video hooks and video scripts. So let's go back on this email list or email business example. We can say something like, give me 10 YouTube video ideas helping people start email copywriting business. Let's see what it comes up with. So we got introduction to email copywriting, what it is, why it's important, okay. Two, how to start an email copy business from scratch. It even tells you what to create the video run, the context of the video. Five most important skills for successful email copywriting. That's a good one. Top 10 email copywriting mistakes to avoid. Everyone likes to hear about the mistakes so they don't make them. So you can see here, it's coming out exactly what the topic of every video should be. And this could actually be both for a long-form video and a short-form video or multiple short-form videos. So let's expand upon this. As it's writing out my different video ideas for YouTube, I can say, write me a script for number four. And let's see what it does. So you can see it takes the previous answer, which is pretty awesome. And it writes me a script. So it says, here's a potential video script for the fourth YouTube video idea on the top 10 email copywriting mistakes to avoid. Now it's giving me an actual script that I can use in my videos. I can take this out, put it on my iPhone, put my iPad, read it off, create a video around this, upload it to my channel. And you can, let's say that you're starting a service. You can help other creators with this as well. Now let's see what this looks like if I try to get it to make me short-form videos. So I'm gonna say something like, give me 10 TikTok video ideas in email copywriting. I'm gonna click enter and let's see what it gives me now. So 10 TikTok video ideas. Day in the life. Ooh, that's a good one, right? Day in the life just filming me what I'm doing on a daily basis. When I wake up, go through on my day, go to sleep. So this is just brilliant to me. Like the way that it comes up with ideas, like a lot of these things, they might seem obvious, but I love how it gives you context and I love how it gives you the ideas and it takes the effort and stress out from sitting down and trying to figure out, okay, what am I gonna create content around today? And it comes up with the ideas for you. And not everyone knows about this tool. So you might be thinking, well, everybody knows about ChatGPT. They know how to use it. They might know about the tool but not exactly how to use it and what inputs to use. So hopefully by watching this video, you're getting great ideas on how to use this and what inputs to put in. So that was strategy number two on using ChatGPT for coming up with video hooks and video ideas and even video scripts. Strategy number three to make legit money with ChatGPT is to use it to come up with autoresponder sequences for your email or maybe even daily email ideas. So this one is really cool because it's actually what I do on a daily basis. I write a daily email. I help clients with writing their emails. I even write some emails for a handful of partners. And so this is cool because I've seen the different ways that I can use this for my own business. Now the obvious thing that you can do with this is offer it as a service. You can have ChatGPT the way that I'm about to show you, write sequences for you or write sequences for a client and have it come up with ideas and you can sell that as a service. You might create a conversion sequence to sell a product or an abandoned cart sequence to bring someone back to buy a product or an onboarding sequence that welcomes people once they buy your product or even a cross-sell or upsell sequence. When someone buys, you cross-sell or upsell them to a different product that you have. I also used to charge when I was doing daily emails, I used to charge $3,500 to $5,000 a month for every client we took on. And you can use this tool to come up with different hooks and ideas for your emails. You can also use this. If you wanna offer daily emails as a service, I used to charge $3,500 to $5,000 a month for this service. You can use it to come up with ideas for your different emails. I used to have to come up with these ideas myself when I offer this as a service and now this will take a lot of the work off your plate so you can focus on just writing the emails. Now before we jump into my computer to show you exactly how to do this, exactly how to have it write email sequences, let's look at an example right now. So let's say that I wanna have it write me a conversion sequence, a conversion autoresponder. I might say something like, write me a five-day email see automation, convert people into my course, including offering them trial. And let's see what it comes up with. Pretty brilliant. So I already got a head start on this one. My command to this was write me five emails to convert people into my email copywriting course. And you can see here, pretty cool. It comes up with the email frameworks of introduction and overview, the subject line. I might change this up because I could make it a little better than this.  Now, obviously, like I said, I wouldn't just take this and copy and paste it. I would make it better. But this is a great starting point for figuring out what to write the emails about. You can sell this as a service to other people who don't know about ChatGBT or how to use this to come up with their own sequences and their own funnels. And so I hope you're seeing the power of this. You can tell it what you want it to do and it will go out, it will actually do the thing for you. And you can see I didn't really give it any other context other than I'm trying to sell an email copywriting course, write me five emails to convert people. This is the only command that I gave it. Now, let's try one more example. Let's have it come up with some daily email ideas. So let's just say give me 10 content pieces I can use for 10 emails to promote my email copywriting. Let's see what it comes up with. So here are 10 email ideas you can use to promote your email copyright. Share success stories. Boom, I do that a lot. I love sharing success stories and testimonials and case studies. Offer unlimited time discount. Share free resources or tips relating to this. So it gives me a plan here for promoting my course. If I were to go and launch this course that I had this write the curriculum for, I can use this guide here to create content around. Powerful stuff. If you know the right inputs to put in, it can come up with some pretty clever answers. And it also in some cases will write the entire promotion for you if you tell it to. You can use this to come up with ideas for emails like I just showed you here. You can also use this for your own emails if you're writing emails for your own personal brand enlist or you can use this to start a service and help other businesses and clients with this and get paid thousands of dollars a month. So that is strategy number three using ChatGPT to write you some email autoresponder sequences or daily emails and come up with the different hooks and ideas for those emails. Now, before we end this video, I wanna share some quick drawbacks of ChatGPT. Number one is it's free right now. I don't think it's gonna be free forever. Use it and take advantage of it right now while it is. Even if it does have a price tag, I think it's worth it. I'll probably pay for it because it saves a lot of time. But right now it's free. The drawback is I don't think it's gonna be free forever. And the second drawback is we're gonna reach a point where it seems like everybody's using ChatGPT and people start sounding robotic and AI-like. And really the only way to overcome that is to build a personal brand. I think everybody should be building a personal brand or at least everyone who is doing something meaningful should be building a personal brand because that's how you're gonna stand out is if you're showing up, let's say on camera and you're shooting videos, your delivery and your personal brand is what's gonna separate you from everybody else who's just typing words into ChatGPT and copying and pasting that. So there you have it. Those are three legitimate ways that you can make money using ChatGPT and save yourself a lot of time, a lot of headache, a lot of stress and get you to the money a lot faster. Use this for your own business, to sell your own products and to build and grow your own personal brand or you can use it as start of service and get paid thousands of dollars a month to help other businesses and clients with this. Like I said before, I don't think this is gonna be free forever so make sure that you're taking advantage of this right now while it is free. Even if it is paid, I'll probably pay for it because it's a valuable tool but right now it's free. You can jump in, experiment with this, try it out and you can even start a service as soon as tomorrow. So get started with this now while you can. So I hope you found this video useful.

Hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you in the next one. Take it easy.


Hafa Day and Aloha, Pacific Warriors. I wanted to put a quick video together before this upcoming August UTA, because just like a year ago, we are in a COVID surge right now, and I wanted to let you know what we're expecting this weekend going into a hybrid UTA, as well as getting you some updated information about COVID. The recent surge on COVID-19, because of the Delta variant on both of our islands are really driving this weekend's hybrid. It is super clear. Because of the Delta variant, our enemy has changed, but luckily our weapons to fight that enemy have remained the same. On both of our islands, the Delta variant accounts for over 80% of the current contagion, and right now it is over two times as contagious as the original COVID virus we were facing. Non-vaccinated individuals are much more likely to be hospitalized and clear with the Delta variant. And now on both of our islands and in our units, we have breakthrough cases. So even vaccinated have had COVID incidents, but almost never require hospitalization at this point. The key is, is that vaccines work. Most of you have seen by this point, the latest sect def memo will make them mandatory for all DOD service members, probably by the midway of September. That means we will all be vaccinated, likely during the September drill period. But my question to you is, if you're not vaccinated, why wait? Right now is when we need the most people to go and get vaccinated to try to curb this current COVID surge. Right now is when you and your families need this protection because it's so contagious on both of our islands. So please consider getting vaccinated this weekend. We have vaccines available on both islands, both our muse, please contact your supervisor as well as our ASTS and AMDF if you're interested in getting vaccinated this weekend. We knew this wasn't going to be a straight line. We knew that it was going to ebb and flow in terms of our quality of life as well as our interaction as well as the virus itself. But I know, at least for me, this is quite a morale blow. To be able to operate as highly as we did in person in June to see all your faces again and then have to go right back into masks, having a lot of our community lock back down again, a lot of our events, threatening schools again, things like that, it is definitely a blow. But I'll tell you what, just like we were a year ago, I am striving for our units to be your sense of purpose and your ability to really be that third leg of the stool to be here for you as you need. And of course, we're moving into this UTA to keep you and your families as safe as possible. So again, this UTA will be hybrid format. We do have a lot of clinic that we need to knock out because it's a fenced admin UTA. So your, our news will be getting ahold of you in terms of appointment schedules. We are gonna push it to fight one more month at least to the right because right now, it just doesn't make a sense in terms of the risk benefit analysis of getting back into fit to fight. But please keep working out, keep getting ready because those tests are coming back. And also a reminder that masks are mandatory indoors for those who are vaccinated and unvaccinated. Last reminder, please, if you're feeling ill at all, please don't come to work. Please make sure that you're contacting your chain of command and letting us know so that we can get you tested. Thank you to everybody for your patience, your resilience and your flexibility. Let's make it count. Pacific Warriors, Aloha and half a day. I'm Chief Young, your group's senior enlisted leader. I'd like to start by welcoming home our employers. Within the last few weeks, we've seen 16 Pacific Warriors return home to their families and units after a long deployment in the CENTCOM and AFRICOM AORs. Welcome back. We're so happy you're home safe. I'd like to tell you about the Air Force Connect app. It's a way for us to engage with you throughout the month with news, information and updates. If you haven't downloaded it yet from your smartphone, search for USAF Connect from the Favorites menu, look for 624th Regional Support Group and start exploring. From there, you'll find the fiscal year 22 UTA schedule, military resources, base agency contacts and even UTA checklists. We've recently added an Ask the Chief function. If you have a question about something, need more information or are simply curious about why we do something a particular way, I want to engage with you and this is one way to get answers. Inquiries will come straight to me and I'll respond back to you. You can even submit questions anonymously and the answers will be posted within the app. Pacific Warriors, I hope you have a fantastic August UTA. I'll see you soon.
