Good morning. Okay, so I'm starting this new thing called vlogging. Have you guys ever heard of it? Now this is new to my channel. I figured since I have more time More uploads that I wouldn't practice vlogging So this vlog is like a practice run because it's a whole different style of video that I'm gonna do So we'll see how this one turns out. It is Monday morning It's about 755 and I have woken up to go for a run. I'm putting on my sunscreen. I'm using the Purito Centella green level safe sun now I believe this was actually recalled because it didn't actually have SPF 50 in it But there's still SPF in it, and I guess I love the consistency of it. It feels like a moisturizer It doesn't leave any cast so I'm gonna use it until it's empty. It still protects my face But I'm up right now to go for a run before I start working for today I'm not as much of an overachiever as it sounds. This is the new thing that I'm starting now that I'm working from home Kind of when I set the tone for the day So I'm trying out I started this last week like two to three times a week Waking up in the morning and getting some cardio done before I get my day started So I'm gonna go for a jog for like two miles two and a half ish miles And then I'm gonna shower eat breakfast and get my work day started It is now time to sit down get some work done So I'm going through emails this morning And then I have a video that I need to do an edit on for sponsorship And I'm hoping we can get that video up today This week is gonna be a pretty busy week of content making because I am going on vacation next week So I want to pre-film a few videos so that nothing doesn't go up That makes sense, but you know, I want to have videos to post so I'm gonna be working Double-duty as far as content making I'm kind of stressing myself out about it And I need to chill because now that this is like my newly full-time job I'm trying to work too hard and I just need to chill part of the reason why I went full-time And so I didn't overwork myself, but I'm learning. I don't know how to do that. I don't know how to not do that Guys do you see that layer of fur there are baby bunnies below there But mom did such a great job of covering it now We can't see yesterday you could see the fur and the little bunnies breathing. Oh, oh, it's moving. Did you see that? It's moving There are baby bunnies on there. I'll have to keep you updated this week Hopefully I'll be able to get a better shot than like this But this mom is a pro my dad is pissed Because it's in his tomato garden his raised beds But this happened last year we had baby bunnies last year in his garden in his raised bed He tried to barricade it so that no more babies could be in his Plants and showed up again at the same spot. So I think it's the same mom It is time to get my day started in my super messy office. This happens so quick I clean it often and it just explodes So I still have like this stuff from a previous video that I need to put away I need to keep this out because I need to do the description box for this video I have my brushes everywhere my makeup that I wear this weekend So I'm going to clean this up first and then I'm filming two very big videos today My 2021 favorites so far video and then the palette version of that So I'm going to spend some time while my hair dries Really sitting on what products have been my favorite this year, but first Let's clean also ignore my outfit. I'm in my PJs I wear my PJs until I film because when I film that kind of decides what I do with my outfit So we'll get we'll get dressed soon. Here we go It's not perfect. I just realized I needed to Write this down first because I don't have my description box ready yet, but It's better. That's what matters. So I cleaned my room just to make it a mess again It's time to start filming. I've pulled all the products that I'm using up for my mid-year favorites And I almost had a heart attack because I thought I lost this palette, but then I found it. I made Jose Search my room with me and it was in my eyeshadow palette Yeah, this was tough.  It is hot in my room But look at this cute outfit. This is this top is from Nordstrom It's super cute, but it's also super hot. I feel like I'm gonna get Pit stains, but it's adorable. Okay Time to start filming. I should be done in a couple hours. My goodness. It is already 130 I just finished filming my 2021 favorites I thought I would be done or close to being done with my eyeshadow palette favorites, but I'm not I haven't even started but my stomach started growling in the middle of the video So I'm gonna eat lunch and then I'll do the favorite parts for my eyeshadow These cumulative favorites always take me forever because I just like could go on for years about how much I love these products Okay, it's lunch time. See the day goes by so fast. I feel like When I was teaching I felt like I got so much done and so many like, you know, I would teach six classes a day Whereas with the youtube stuff It's just so much more tedious like you get less stuff done because everything takes so much longer It's not harder work at all. It's like not hard. It's just everything takes so long So I feel like unaccomplished whereas when I was teaching I feel like I got so much done. Anyways, I'm gonna eat Yummy I'm gonna mix this up. I had to show you guys if you live near a fresh market It's called the fresh market. You have to try the Cindy's kitchen white cheddar vinaigrette It's so a bomb. It tastes better than ranch in my opinion and not bad This is like Much better for you than ranch dressing is going to be so honestly all of the Cindy's kitchen Dressings are super bomb, but this is my favorite for salads. Oh, it's so good He's watching a soccer game Yoke up whatever. This is our office. This is what he pretends to edit my videos, but Watch his youtube videos Yeah My youtube video got approved. I just need to change a couple of things on The description box, but we're going live in 50 minutes and I need to upload the stories for that And it's rest for a little bit let my lunch sit and then I got to film my second video today Normally, I wouldn't like spend so many hours filming in a day But since I'm prepping for going on vacation next week I'm gonna be filming a lot more this week than I normally would it's kind of exhausting Oh, I got a package. I think it's my sheen order So I don't buy clothes too often for myself I will every now and then but All my money goes to makeup all of my fun money goes to makeup But I've been wanting to try some summer dresses And like new styles and stuff. I didn't want to spend a ton of money So I went to she and She and I think is the best place to try new styles that aren't too expensive Should we do a try on let's Let's do a try on Okay, so here is the first top. It's really really cute. It's very simple Nothing crazy. Not a crazy new style. I think I just thought it was cute And it is with some jeans. It's very lightweight. I got this in a size small. I am 4 10 for reference. I'm very very short Ignore my bestie background. Wow, you're gonna ignore the messy background by the way on I have no excuses, but super cute. Okay, let's try on the next one Okay, so this one's a little bit showy. I have no intentions of wearing it with jeans. So low rise like I envision For this Nice highway stitch skirt, you know, but it's super cute See how the tie but again Covered a belly. I would cover the belly, but oh wow and this is gonna look so cute in videos I like that Okay, this is the one one of the ones that I was unsure about style wise But it is so cute reminder. I'm only 4 10 So it would be more of a midi on somebody else But I love that midi dresses are in style right now because for somebody short like me It's like a regular length, but I think going back I probably wouldn't order this color But it's super cute for like a dinner look. I got it in a size small. I like that. It's Stretchy around the waist so you're not gonna get muffin top here Oh, I like this. I'm gonna bring this with me to vacation Okay, so far We're on a wind cycle Okay, so this next one isn't my favorite I like the color and I love this style. It normally is pretty flattering I have to say this is probably the least flattering wrap dress I've had on my body It's still not bad, but it's like oddly tight around my booty area and the fabric's so thin so you can see every Every bump and crevice which I'm not loving So This one definitely feels a little bit cheap. I'm not I'm not as big a fan of it. Okay, so here's the next one It's really cute But I would definitely want to wear this with a little bit of shape wear I don't know. It's a little bit tight around that area. So I'd want to Smooth it out a bit, but other than that, like it's really cute. It's quite flattering If you don't think about your belly region Um, but this is okay. I'm not super in love with it, but I mean it looks like what I ordered I was trying something new I don't know. I don't know. Well, there's one Okay, so this one you will see is one of the styles that I was experimenting with Jose, it's gonna hate this. This is like one of those prairie style dresses And honestly, it's not my style But it's cute that I was experimenting with like I love these style of dresses. I do wish The sleeves were a little less voluminous I think that's the part where I'm like, uh But I love the length of this. Obviously it needs steamed If only the sleeves weren't so poofy. I feel like I would like this a lot more This one's gonna take a little bit of getting used to but it's a vibe. This one's definitely a vibe I feel like a princess Like I need to go in a picnic. Okay. I have another one of these like prairie dresses To even step it up. It's this gingham pattern. Let me try it on. I don't know this one I like a lot more than the white one Because the sleeves are less poofy.  Let me show you on my mirror I actually really like this way more than I thought I would I like this. This is kind of cute Jose's also gonna hate this one But I like it Okay, so this last one is a no Um, if you're gonna get this number one size up I'm struggling to breathe and number two if you're tall like this is a shirt This is not a dress because I am so small you guys. I'm four ten and this is So itty bitty tiny yummy It's really tight And it's a little see-through like the idea of it Really cute the execution I feel like a sausage. Okay, so it's almost three. I have a video going live And then I have to well, I want to answer comments and then I need to post The corresponding Instagram story since it's a sponsored video But in the meantime, I'm gonna start selecting my favorite eyeshadow palettes of 2021 So far I have two and I'm debating should I do unlimited or should I do my top 10? The video should be up. I know that you see this vlog So I so far have the color problem in cello And natasha dunona mini love. I'm gonna give you guys a sneak peek You guys always ask me about my luxury eyeshadow palette drawer Which I think is gonna break soon because it's so Heavy in this little ikea desk and it's messy When I clean it out, I will do a full tour for you guys But it's in here Get all this Heaven right I need to think about what eyeshadow palettes I tried this year and which ones were the best So I'm gonna be doing that for the next five minutes. So I sat through I picked my top palettes and you guys I'm shocked. This is completely different than what I thought it was going to end up being Now that I'm going back I have a running list of all the palettes that I tried this year This year was not the year so far for eyeshadow palettes 2020 was so much better. All right, let's get this film and done The sun is gonna start coming out of this window too strong as it shifts. So I have to I gotta film this fast Filming is done for today I normally don't think I would like to do two videos a day But this week is a special week. I think I'm gonna start editing One of my videos it's gonna take forever to edit. So I'm gonna start tonight And I think I'm coming towards the end of today's work day. I do want to film Not film. I need to make some instagram swipe ups for my Anna Luisa sponsorship What's the premise of this vlog? Is it fitness? Is it food? Is it behind the scenes? I don't know. Is it fashion?

Jose and I are just gonna do a light workout I'm gonna do more strength. I'm going to warm up on my bike for like 10 minutes And then I'm gonna do a very light strength workout Probably mostly body weight and dumbbells because I haven't moved much since this morning So I do want to get some extra movement in since I'm no longer teaching. I'm not on my feet anymore So it's very important to me to like move in the morning and then move in the evenings if I can My form. I know it's not the best. Anyways, I'm gonna shower hang out with Jose and I will see you guys tomorrow Good morning. Tuesday today. I passed on a workout this morning. I'm feeling like a good afternoon workout So I'm gonna spend this morning editing my 2021 favorites and oh my goodness. So I edited a little bit last night Well, I edited it a lot. I actually got the whole rough edit done 40 minutes of me talking How do y'all watch me? So I'm gonna do the final edit It's gonna take a while to do the description box. It's to upload it.  I'm just gonna sit on the couch in my pj's Get through this. So jose hopped in bed at 3 a.m. Last night. Look at what he was working on He does not like my intro. I like it. But anyways, how cute is this? He pulled photos from my old videos all the way up to now to make this intro So cute Okay, so first of all it is hot for like the third day in a row in maryland like grossly hot, but We're gonna do a bunny check But something mysterious happened They weren't there yesterday like we saw them and then an hour later. They were gone. So we're gonna see If the bunnies are still there.   I do want to do 30 minutes Let's do Emma love well 30 minutes intervals and arms.

I have a virtual event With sigma in a couple minutes. So sigma sent over All of these goodies and they have these zoom events where it's kind of like a Event where they promote their new products. So in my package I got the highlight palette corduosa blush palette, which I have been wanting this so bad So i'm so excited about this. We have a lip oil Instant shave remover looks interesting. I already have this. So this is going in a giveaway And i'm so excited about this. You guys know I don't love Sigma's eyeshadow formula, but I love their color stories So I didn't want to spend my own money on this, but i'm really excited about this So I'm gonna eat my lunch and then do the zoom call If you have some really beautiful bright shades in here, I love this gold shade Um, I can swatch a few for you as well. So So jose is getting a haircut right now. I just came for the ride But i'm not leaving i'm sitting in the car, but I thought it'd be nice to get some fresh air though I have to say it is So hot in maryland I hate it these last three days have been horrible And I know who you guys are gonna say just wait till florida because i've already complained on my stories You guys are like just wait till florida with the humidity the heat that honestly is something that's on my mind constantly Is how hot I am and then I just think about how miserable i'm going to be in florida But we are going to florida next week. So I will be able To complain some more. I did not choose florida. I'm really not a big fan of the heat, but I work from home So it's whatever it'll be fine. I'll be fine. My hair won't be fine, but I'll be fine So i'm pretty much done With All of my computer stuff I need to do today. I've had a really relaxed day, which has been awesome But I need to film at least one video today because there's a portion of it that's sponsored So there's a deadline. So I want to film that since it's due tomorrow and depending on my energy level I might film a second video But I have not had my coffee yet. It's already almost 2 30. So i'm gonna go home have my coffee Film my video Then it should be sushi time Like I look forward to tuesdays every week because I love sushi so much I got a pr package from colorpops. I want to open that up and see what it is. Um, and then We'll start prepping for whatever video I decide to do That took forever That took forever Yeah, he was really smooth. The fastest but I mean I like it. It's gonna be better in a week But yes Do you like it? Yeah, you look so naked. So cute little boy Okay, so here was what was in the color pop our package This is one of their newest collections for the summer So we have like a blue palette Some blue super shocks which look really pretty and then some blue eyeliners And then we have more of like a pinky purple one On the wing right here and we have some purple Blinders so thank you so much color pop these looks super duper cute Ha it is my favorite day of the week my favorite time of the day It is sushi time as you can see my makeup is done of Sephora collection It looks a bit heavy for my preference as far as the skin, but there were some hits But there were also some misses But I get asked all the time because I always post on instagram our sushi's You guys always ask what we get and where we get it we go to our local hmart to get our sushi They aren't you know the most high quality sushi or the best sushi we've ever had But they're the best price for the taste like it's a great value So we always go and get a ton That's why I don't eat too much on our sushi date days And I will show you the rolls Once we get them But hmart has our favorite sushi I don't think that that sushi place will be at every hmart though, but that's where we go It's like a really good deal. All right. I'll meet you there. Look who got the goods Okay, so I told you they were really affordable like all of this sushi for $30 My crazier is that really good? So we get a monster roll Which I think is one of their specialty rolls So I don't think you can get it anywhere, but it's our favorite.  It is 9 30. I've just been watching videos. I'm waiting for Jose to finish gaming to hang out with him I'm also like doing a wear test, which is why I still have my makeup on 9 30 is late for me by the way The Sephora collection makeup It's wearing really well. I thought it looked a bit heavy when I first started wearing it I'm about five hours into wearing it and it wear Not a breath from walking up the steps hold on and now that I've worn it it wore down a little bit So it looks more natural So I'm really liking how we makeup look besides like a couple pieces like I did not like the eyeliner or the eyelashes Everything else looks really good. I think I know it's late, but the video that I filmed today It's due tomorrow to the sponsor. So I think I'm gonna edit it a little bit It's the Sephora collection video not sponsored by Sephora Though I wish it was but there's a sponsor in the video But I've been wanting to film this video for a long time. I literally bought These items during the last Sephora sale because Sephora collection was on a really good discount And I'd always wanted to do this video and it took me months, but I'm so happy I could finally test out The product so I'm gonna edit a little bit take my makeup off Then go to bed hang out with Jose.  All right. Good night Good morning. What's the first thing that I do when I wake up? Check on the bunnies They're huge. They've already grown so much since yesterday bunnies grow really fast Because we had some last year and they grew up in like three days So cute Well, hello there. Good morning Good morning, cutie boy. Does anybody else understand how to undo these elf boxes? Okay, this is the first time I actually opened it correct My elf order came in as you can see I ordered a bunch of stuff for a video I plan on doing a Half face of elf and then the other half of my face of my favorite height and makeup just to see How they compare so I'm really excited. I've been eagerly waiting for this package to come I want to film this today and get this up On friday. Today's wednesday. So yeah, hopefully I can get this up on friday So I have been editing all morning You can see jose is also editing. We've been getting some editing out of the way So this I think is what I'm gonna film today This is gonna take some prep though because I haven't well. I can't remember what products I was comparing to what So I need to set that up and get ready. So I'm gonna submit the video that I was editing To the brand that I need to submit it to and then we are gonna do my hair I get dressed and start filming this because this video requires a wear test So I need to start as early as I can So I'm going to do my hair and I'm going to show you how I refresh my curls with heat So most of the time to refresh my curls. I prefer to Dampen my hair and then put in a light mousse But today I feel like I don't have time to wait for my hair to dry. I don't feel like it So we resort to heat. So this is what I do second third day curls whenever, you know I don't want to get my hair wet and I want to keep the curliness. So I use I got this years ago It is so cheap on amazon. What is this? Yes, it's a conure half inch curling wand I'm gonna show you how I refresh my curls now. It looks better with time So when you curl it at the end of the day, it tends to look a little bit better because it looks a little bit tight by the way I have my camera sitting on a listerine model and I'm like squatting To get in frame So I just let it heat up for a little bit and then I don't use the clamp I never use the clamp and then I just look for pieces that need a little bit of refreshing let me squat And then I just twirl it on there let it sit for just a few seconds. Sorry. I know you can't see And then release it and I pull it down because I don't have Really tight curls in my hair. I have more so waves So I'll just do it for if I see a bunch of like frizzy hair I will use this to tame those frizzinesses I don't typically do my whole head It's just the hairs that need a little bit of a refresh And even if I literally do only five little curls I find that those five Curls that I redo just make my whole head look better So I try to do as minimal Pieces as possible just because I don't like too much heat on my hair And yeah, so I'm going to fast forward through this I'll show you the outcome But of course because I'm on camera these front pieces are the most Important but the bottom layer of my hair It's like normally more straight. So I don't know it's really annoying. So I do like to Curl these straight pieces And that's literally all I do they'll loosen up as the day goes on I think for most of you guys I would recommend like separating the hair or maybe even brushing it out But the natural texture of my hair is frizzy It doesn't matter if it's humid outside or not. That's just the texture of my hair So if I separate these curls my hair is going to be out to here So I just leave them tight like this, but you can see it looks relatively natural I mean it blends in with my natural hair I guess is a better way to put it because I mean my natural curls do not look this nice So that's how I refresh my curls This is the aftermath of filming that crazy elf and high-end favorites video This is one video that probably took some of the most prep I've ever had to do Which in reality is not that hard, but it took a lot So take a look half of my face is elf The other half is high-end. Can you tell the difference? I can tell you in person There's one side that looks a lot better and it's definitely the high-end side But the price of the elf was 89 dollars for everything. The price of my high-end side was like 540 dollars That's crazy. Anyways, I have some pr packages That just came in that i'm gonna open and I think i'm gonna eat a light snack or maybe a light lunch. We'll see Okay, so I have a question for you One side of my face is 89 dollars The other side of my face is 540 dollars worth of makeup. Which side looks better? Jesus Christ, uh, you're facing the windows Which side do you think looks better? Do you need it? You can get up close. I think the right side looks better. This side? Yes Okay, that's the 540 dollar side. You've got it. Yeah, the skin looks a lot better on this side I think I mean, I don't know if a lot for my standards probably for a makeup for a $500 difference, right? Yeah, okay Thank you. No problem We have a couple pr boxes that just came in so I thought I would show you So we'll start off with color pop.  I haven't tried their serum blush formula We have some lip stains You know, I never thought I'd be a fan of the hand mirrors But I actually use them now in my makeup hit and my clients love whatever I bring So we have a cute cherry mirror I've not been doing a good job of keeping up with my color pop content It's just they've released so much that I feel like you guys aren't interested So I don't want to create videos that you guys aren't interested in But here's what the palette looks like And she's cute I mean It is true. We're getting a bit repetitive here color pop the collections.  Il maquillage Mess low td brushes I always give these to my friends because I have so many brushes and I feel like my friends are always in need of makeup brushes We have some shave cream, which is awesome because I'm running low on mine And I use this one. This is ipsy brand refreshments Here's the bag looks like Moisturizer, what is this? No, I think this is a wrap for the beach I think It looks like it. You see cute. I'm going on vacation next week. That works out great Because I've been in need of a wrap and then the last Thing is like the regular like $12 ipsy subscription. We have a nomad cosmetic shadows um a cake pencil Looks like from kvd beauty An artist couture lip oil Ooh first aid beauty primer Briocio hair mask. That's really great. I hate buying hair masks, but I love using them And then it looks like the last item in here Is a hip dot Shadow or blush. I'm not sure Anyways, thank you so much color pop and thank you ipsy Jose just told me he was hungry. So we're gonna go eat now We are at my favorite fable place. I've been waiting all week to come here. I got some editing done this morning So far, I have my chai because they had this frozen chai. I'll help show you the sandwich This is mine. No, this is mine I don't know which one is mine. I don't know. I think this one's mine. This one's yours for this phase Yours looks better than mine. Exactly. I use the creamy one Look what just came in the mail. I've been waiting for this order from bh. You guys know I'm a bh stan And for sloving high end, I love me some bh. So I got their new palette. This is called the passion in paris It is beautiful unique. It's a color story that so many drugstore brands won't touch And I didn't like the other palette that came out in this collection But I saw this was on sale for like eight dollars. This is Smitten in switzerland And it is so beautiful. I slept on this one you guys, but it has the most beautiful neutral tones Okay, this one highly recommend. I haven't used it yet, but if it's in line with the rest of the bh quality Highly recommend I just played with that new color pop cherry collection Really cute. I like it more than I thought I would I will say the eye shadow is fading a little bit pretty quickly I also just uploaded my elf video I don't expect it to do fantastic But I hope those of you who watched it enjoyed it because it was It was a lot of meditate. It's a 47 minute video It's like four o'clock. We went out for breakfast. I did get some work done today I filmed a video so Not gonna be hard on myself But I think that I'm gonna just relax for the rest of the evening Tomorrow, I'm not really working. We're gonna go see my grandmother Um, I'm gonna try and film a video tomorrow because I do need to pre-film But I really don't like filming more than one video a day Just so that way I can stay energized in my videos because I feel like if I film more than one Depending on the topic my energy is lower and I don't like that. I want to be present I'm just doing a lot of talking that you guys don't care about. Anyways, I'm just gonna hang out maybe play some sims We'll see if you hear that buzz in the background. It's the fan because it's hot in here We are getting ready to work out. I have my pre-workout I only just started to get into pre-workout recently when I was working because I was very low energy and this kind of helped But I don't feel like working out today. So hopefully this gives me the boost that I need I mean jose supposed to be working out right now I'm like what he's doing He's sitting at the desk next to me. I just played sims for like an hour.

I don't know if they'll be there. I didn't check yesterday because it was really rainy out all day They fled the nest that was fast. They aren't there anymore. We only got two days out of them That's so sad last year we had bunnies and we had them for like at least a week This has been a weird group though because the mom's been doing a really good job of hiding them I swear she's been removing them from the nest and like carrying them around but Bye my bunnies. That's the bunny update. That's all we have Guys, this is my grandma's house. Isn't it the cutest?  It's been Sweltering hot the last few days and I've decided Just to take today off not worry about work really I was planning on working like half the day But you know I finished the uploads that I needed to do I went and saw my grandma. She lives like an hour away So I ate up most of the day and the weather is so nice and beautiful And I have a wedding tomorrow that I'm working So I just decided to enjoy my evening and I'm going to pick up on sunday And normally I wouldn't work on a sunday, but since I'm leaving for an eight day vacation on wednesday I think I'll be okay squeezing in that sunday so that way I can get ahead and get my videos ready I think when this video is uploaded, I'm on vacation.

And now to the environment. For too long a human have been exploiting and destroying the planet's ecosystems and the loss is depriving the world of carbon sinks like forest and peat lands at the time humanity can least afford it. At an event held at St. Saviour's calling Lagos which their US initiatives in partnership with the Lagos State Government in regard of the World Environmental Day has gathered to support the tree planting initiatives and provide safe environment in the society plus TV correspondent Ngoziqa or HSC Hasmore in this report. June 5th is dedicated to mark the World Environmental Day which is celebrated to create awareness among people in order to conserve the environment for a healthy and better future. The theme for this year is the ecosystem restoration which means preventing halting and reversing damages to go from exploiting nature to healing it. The US Consulate who is represented by the acting Consul General Brandon Hotspeth spoke on the importance of tree planting in Nigeria and how children are powerful agents for change. As we recognize these efforts around the country to hear in Lagos to provide safe clean drinking water healthy places to live and work and to learn and play and I think that these kids are a remarkable example of how all of us can work to achieve those causes. So in providing support for this initiative the US government has demonstrated its belief that real solutions to Africans problems are best developed by Africans and what I would say is that you know we are excited frankly to partner with St Xavier on this activity. As we know children have the potential to be powerful agents of change and by focusing on school-age children giving them tools and knowledge to change behaviors future generations will be better prepared to care for the environment. Other speakers at the event educated the students of St Xavier School on how they can achieve ecosystem restoration. here to tell you is if we disrupt any part of the ecosystem if we disturb it and we unbalance it our lives will be unbalanced. Through growing trees greening cities you know rewinding garden cleaning up our rivers we can also achieve it by using renewable energy so it is important to remind ourselves as we are here today that the global community is set to adopt a set of sustainable development goals that has replaced millennium development goals. Environmental activists say only healthy ecosystems can enhance people's livelihood counteract climate change and stop the collapse of biodiversity according to the facilitator of the event they hope for a minor change attitude change and a better environment in Nigeria.

I'm with Vijay from Blue Mint Labs and he's telling us about a product called Bixi. It's a gesture-based device. Go ahead. Thank you. Myself Vijay and I'm presenting here Bixi. It's the first fully contactless gesture control device that's ultra-portable and solves the need when your hands are occupied.   One of the key things that I'm going to demonstrate here is that if you're browsing your recipe on an iPad, the first thing you're stuck with is this big number keypad that you need to do. What if Bixi could do that for you? So that just logged you in and went past the authentication, right? So it's not that we are hacking into the system, we are actually, from your iPad, to authorize your Bixi to act as the host, which unlocks it. It's essentially like a remote keypad, sort of. Yes, but it's much better than that. Much more than that. Yeah. So the thing is that here we are trying to address need and the only way to address the need without washing your hands is Bixi. Okay, so this is Bluetooth enabled and right now he's got it plugged in because basically Bluetooth and any kind of wireless connections a nightmare inside CES. But so you showed me there were two different kinds of gestures. So you can store multiple profiles and now I switch to music mode with a gesture. You said to music mode. So now just pause, play, increase the volume. Oh wow. So for the audio listeners he's lifting his hand up and down to do the volume and he was going right to left to switch songs and what was the gesture from top to bottom to pause and play? Yeah. I'm wondering whether this could be useful for people with motor control disabilities? Surely, so that's a set of people who would really be benefited from this kind of products. All right, and I should describe the Bixi. It's about the size of a small coaster maybe, you'd set a small coke down on that. And how much is Bixi? So it will be $99 and the final price will be fixed when we launch and kick start on next month. Kick start? Okay, great. And how would people find out more about your product? How many people? Sorry, Ari. How would people find out more about the product? Okay, you need to go to Bixi.io and sign up there and we will be regularly updated of whatever is happening. So any new cool features that you are going to add, be sure that you are signed up and you will be regularly updated. Very good.


Let's move on now to a story that you're about to break on consortium news. Oh, yeah in print after this website is over We'll be publishing it Shortly after that, but before we do that. We're gonna give our audience a an overview of what your story is and it revolves around a man called Ali Alexander Yes, Alex Jones plays a role in this story lay out what happened in terms of the permits that were given for that Rally on January 6th in the ellipse So there there are two little films to two minute films We put out and we're putting out a story that that will be breaking on consortium news a big story And it's this what people don't know is that there was that March to the capital that ended in death and disaster That March to the capital was not did not have a permit now. You may think well That's pretty small. It's like Al Capone going to prison for not paying his taxes No, that's not small because here's what happened the sponsors of the March And we found this out from in whistleblowers inside the organization the sponsors of the March Which is called women for America first. They're they're very close to Trump by the way personally and politically They had no permit to March Because you can't it's Covid believe it or not and the city of Washington does not allow mass marches Okay, because you have to separate you can't have more than 50 people marching at a time So it's illegal They didn't have a permit and they told the park police remember the Congress and the Washington Monument our park police National Park police and they told the Metro police and they could told the Capitol police There will be no March to the capital because the police weren't prepared. You didn't have monitors You didn't have marshals didn't have porta-potties in water. You didn't have signs You didn't have direction. You didn't have nothing no one was prepared for March and then a guy named Ali Alexander our character will get we'll get to know soon and a guy named Alex Jones the right wing fantasist radio host Alex Jones Ali Alexander said they were going to have a march from the rally, which is legal the rally's legal Protesting in America, you know that first amendment thing rally's illegal And the March is not legal because it was just plain Dangerous, but Ali Alexander said let's have a march and one of his super fans is a guy named Donald Trump Really likes Ali Alexander. They've met they he's fed it Alexander That's he went including when he was called Ali Akbar, but he was convicted of felony crimes as Ali Akbar So he changed his name to Ali Alexander. So Ali Alexander says we're gonna have a march the the people who hold the permits Because remember they are financially responsible. They're legally responsible things get out of control at their rally They said to the Metro police this will not happen Absolutely not and then they informed the White House. They told the White House. In fact and using language like WTF There will be there is no there will be there must not be a march. It's dangerous. It's not permitted We have no monitors. We can't do it and So they thought well that's over with and then suddenly some guy named Donald Trump Gets up and at 12 15 p.m. They Donald Trump announces we're gonna march to the Capitol. We have to understand It wasn't that the March ran out of control the president was out of control and calling for the March in the first place So the the sponsors of the rally like suddenly flipped out.  They had no police To control it. So what do you think is gonna happen? Enraged people many armed are being Launched off by the president of the United States Completely out of control. What do you think is gonna happen? And that is to me I spoke to national lawyers killed lawyers who specialize in legal rallies Said boy if you hold a legal rally and you then then go beyond your permit and people die You are culpable Trump is culpable here for that stunt and especially and anyone who listens to ollie alexander when the idea the president of the united states was listened to this violent maniac A violent takeover of the capitol to overturn the presidential election white power Trump troops and at the center of it this man ollie alexander Before the washington riot He was in georgia creating mayhem with alex jones to overturn the presidential election And who was alexander working with The georgia republican party and the national republican senatorial committee That's right ollie alexander hate monger convicted felon And here he is yucking it up with a nazi the official partner of the georgia republican party Working with the gop to lead a door knocking operation in georgia And here's alexander in washington and what's happening now is exactly what i've warned about We call the republican party Hello, this is greg palest of the pacifica network And i'm calling to find out why the republican senatorial committee Is working with someone named ollie alexander in georgia Before the dc riots.  Please We never got an answer


Hi, I'm Dave Lounsbury, CTO of the Open Group, and I'm here on day three of a very exciting conference in Taipei I'm here with Patty Dunovan who is our VP of membership in events. Hi Patty. Hi Dave. Thanks So Patty what what brought us to Taipei? What was our objective in holding a meeting here? Well Dave, I think one of my objectives, and I believe it's one of your objectives as well, is to increase member participation globally. And we knew that we needed to go to Asia and hold one of our quarterly conferences and we were lucky enough to have help from our local partner the Open Group China through KingD and through the Association of Enterprise Architects here in Taiwan to help us get here. KingD, of course, is our platinum, but I also think they were very helpful in arranging some contacts with local universities who also helped us get the conference organized, right? We had a huge amount of help from Tam King University. We had David Chi who actually opened the conference for us as well as he had Mickey Harn and Kathy Sung who helped us bring in a lot of local participants here. Excellent. Excellent. What what for you have been some of the highlights of the conference? I think we've had a lot of participation and contribution from that. So any highlights you'd There have been so many highlights. You know in each conference there are so many things that are happening every day. You would have asked me a month ago how many people I expected here in Taipei. I would have given you a number and hoped for a little more, but once we were here we got over 250 attendees. And one of the things that I really liked about Taipei is that it brought in over 60 members of the open group to come here and participate with us. So that to me was a huge highlight. Yeah, what about the the Punnery session? I remember we had some excellent excellent presentations who were some of the We had a presentation, a couple of presentations, case studies from Cathay Pacific and the University in Singapore. We had the founder and CEO of Kingdy come and keynote for us as well as Andres Decau came and helped us. He's our Platinum member from IBM. One of the things that struck me very much in helping develop that interaction between the Asian community was we had the simultaneous translations and it actually it kind of cut both ways because you know the somebody like the presentation from the gentleman of Kingdy was was in Chinese and the translation helped the English speakers understand it and and vice versa when we had the gentleman from Cathay Pacific who spoke in English. Right. So that was really helpful in you know building that bridge to be a global organization. It really is that there are almost too many highlights to single out at the conference. The working sessions for me I attended some of the sessions on the security and cloud and the real-time and embedded systems for them. And one of the things that really struck me was that by being in Asia we got people bringing ideas to us that we we would not have heard before and I've heard a couple of striking ones and these will get up on the conference web for our members. But you know that's it just underscores the fact that we have to go to all regions of the world in order to get that contribution that's the real foundation of what the open group does. So so following on the success of this conference what's coming up next for the open group? We have several things coming up. Our next meeting up is in Sweden in November 8th. We have another meeting in DC the middle of Washington DC in the middle of November and then our next member meeting quarterly conferences in San Francisco and we have a huge line up there, so I'm hoping everyone will see the promotional flashes that we send out and come on and join us and sign up. I think you and you and Jim Hightower of EPS security have also talked a little bit about activism and people will see that separately. It's a potential theme there. I'm really looking forward to I'll be at the DC meeting and the San Francisco meeting and I really think we'll have a lot to say there. Where should people go to learn more about the meeting? Well, you can go to our website or open group website and I think we'll probably be putting up a URL for it and registration's open. It's up. Y'all come and join us in San Francisco. Excellent. Well, thank you very much Patty. All right. Thank you Dave. Bye.


Chigafatso Puel Murder Trial Postponed The trial of the alleged mastermind behind the Chigafatso Puel Murder, and Tuthuko Shoba, has been postponed to Thursday. The state's next witness is out of the province. Shoba is on trial for ordering a hit on his pregnant girlfriend, allegedly to stop his wife from finding out about the affair. Puel's body was found hanging from a tree on the west rand two years ago. The family hopes that Shoba will take the stand to give his side of the story. Chigafatso Puel's uncle Tumi Sankatake said, I wish I could articulate more on the defense side I am hoping that they put him on the stand because given that the version that's been given in court about how he intended to defend himself sounds like there's a lot of explaining to do. So just to explain what happened and give his side of the story and put this thing to rest.
