Welcome back, this is Unfinished. I am your host, ensure that you follow me on all social media platforms at SK Gitonga. Today we are talking about digital safety on taxi apps. Onto our next question, how do you think the digital taxi apps ensure the safety of a passenger? Let me know what you think in the comments section. They are doing enough. What I can say is that we ourselves are not reporting the cases. If you enter the car and there is an accident, you have to report. If there is a disagreement, report. They will get used to calling to you. They ask for your feedback and they also report to the police and remove them from the service. In a taxi, if there is an accident, you have to report it to the number plate. So in case of anything, you have to report it to the number plate and stuff like that. We are trying to make sure that the driver doesn't have to go to the bus stop. If the driver doesn't go to the bus stop, you have to report it to the number plate and stuff like that. If there is an accident, you have to report it to the number plate and stuff like that. If they were doing enough, then we wouldn't be getting people being kidnapped and all that kind of stuff. So they should do more, especially on who they recruit on their apps, how they hire drivers or how they offer their services. They should work more and get people who are better qualified to do that. I have heard of a few things and I feel like they are trying to make taxis safer for us. I feel they are doing something at least. What I can say is that they are a business entity and they try their level best. Not their best, or maybe the best we would love them to attain. But let them do their part. That's what I can say. I'll allow them to do their part. But they are not doing that much because how I wish if a single person would order an Uber, then if they could be having an arrangement for security, maybe a security escort to help you reach your place or your destination in good time so that we avoid such unfortunate happenings like what we call the kidnappings and what have you. Recently they introduced the share your ride. You can share your location as you ride with someone else. So in case of anything, someone else knows your location as you ride. Also Uber has a very good reporting system.  There are some who are doing anything. Like when you have apps and want to do a career and they are trustworthy. Of course, they have to be easy. They have to have a number. They have to have a counter check. So there are some who are ensuring that safety and the others are ignoring. What the app does is to ensure that the customers are safe. First thing they normally tell you, ensure that the vehicle that you have ordered is the one that has come to you.  So any other place that you will be dropped is none of them. Then you ordered online so you stay online. No one need to go off. That's why they say it's online. An online taxi, you ordered online so you stay online till you reach your destination. For them to give them easy work to track. When you are moving they contract that this Uber, this taxi has been ordered from this place and it's like it's directed to certain destination. They are doing enough. The taxi, especially the companies that run this online taxi business. I can feel for them they have done enough. The rest is for people, citizens of this country. Safety starts with you. So each and every person has a role. The company can only do so much. Like you are able to notify someone else that you are using this Uber taxi. That's enough for them. The others is about us, citizens. Be your brother's keeper. Basically these are about economic times. When hard times are there, people tend to go for easy way to get something in your pocket. The easiest way is usually through force. That's where now crime comes in. In the application, for example, Uber have seen that there are special type of Uber like Bolt for women. And now that one guarantees safety for women. There is a complaint where you can lodge your complaint in case you don't feel safe. And you can always cancel the ride at any time you don't feel safe. But that one still does not guarantee you full safety. So maybe I'll just try to suggest to these apps that drivers who have been put on red alert may be cancelled or a complaint has been raised. They should be investigated. And it was my mission to Maramorja until the investigations are over. So far, I have been able to ensure my safety. I have provided services to the people who have been put on red alert. But maybe it's because of the safety of the people who have been put on red alert. Whether they are doing enough, I'm not very sure. But what I can say is the introduction of the taxi apps is a big milestone to safety. Because number one, if that happens, they can always track the driver. And in that way, come up with anything that went on. And of course, action is taken. I think a way in which the apps do ensure that passengers are safe is by first of all, ensuring that they have the five-star rating. And then apparently they also have a follow-up in case you rated a one-star, they are going to call and find out what went wrong. And also, they are providing you with a chance to share your trip with your friends so they can track how far you've gone. Onto our last question. Do you think having taxes for a certain gender is a way of ensuring security in taxes? Let me know what you think in the comments section. Yes, because some people prefer women drivers, some people prefer men drivers according to their situation. So if they improve on their services and include gender exclusivity, things will go well. It prevents me from raping. Let's say we're talking about a man with bad intentions. Maybe he's a correct batch. If it's women, he's safer. This is alystise is an idea, it's something, like when a man has a lady when he or she has a bad thought. There aren't any types of people who can take a taxi while he or she is driving and they won't be able to... ..in short, they'll say if he or she wants to take a taxi, he or she will leave. So that's what it means. anyone anyone can take you depending on what they want it's not like it's one gender that is kidnapping or doing anything like on the other so it's anyone can do anything to you so whether you have ubers for ladies and I think it might but also I feel like we shouldn't have to be that because I feel it's it's it's a lot it's a big extent to go to it somebody should be able to feel safe with in any taxi I'm not not have to worry about maybe being assaulted or being harassed but yeah it's a good it's a good option to explore different gender taxes yeah well it's a it's the new normal actually it should be actualized so that for the female passengers they could feel more secure when they have their fellow female because now they wouldn't they wouldn't be any problem but I've come to realize that in one Uber entity there was a the provision of female driven Uber and also female on board alone passenger Ubers and so it's an improvement that maybe with time we can advise our fellow our fellow female our fellow gender maybe opposite gender to implore those avenues where they can have the female Ubers female Uber drivers taking them to their destination but of course what I can say is that even men have secured women in the past so I think with time it also depends on who is now interested in having the female Uber driven and also maybe who is interested in having driven by anybody randomly but now it it calls for high tend security within us within ourselves so that it's our own choice yes I really think it really helps with security because Bolt and Uber recently rolled out the the women only I think I'm not sure if it's bolt over I think it's bolt rolled out the women only and I think it's because women are prone to a lot of danger actually and they're very vulnerable to such very harmful situations so I think it's a good thing the safety should come fast since the cases have they have been cases so they're trying to reduce the cases and eradicate the cases so I think it's a good thing At times when you're late maybe to work on someone else it's faster and of course when you're safer so yeah Uber for different genders I think it's it's very easy to some extent it is but to some extent it's not because if you imagine you are a lady alone and if the person driving it's a giant we get even though you have a phone you have credit you can call but this person is more muscular than you he's capable of doing anything and once you're inside he is able to lock the doors and you are unable to unlock that's the other part of it the dark side of it like it's insecure to some gents to some ladies then to an extent nowadays you can only taxi with many ladies and you are the only driver I get so they can decide to tell you we are going to certain destination you think they are customers but they have got other plans ahead of you they have plotted something like you read them then you will be attacked this night your vehicle and everything will be left to the alone or either kill so it's not it's not secure at all then the other party that it's now so so ramparts well known nowadays the sexuality harassment you order a ball as a lady and then a guy tells you instead of you paying me this let's have this next sense of let's have sex and extent of payment you get so if you alone and you are not into that he forces you what will you do it's already like her sex harassment sexual harassment and it can lead the same it can be vice versa a lady asks the the driver to engage and if he does then she be like I'll scream I'll tell these people that you wanted to rape me or you wanted to abduct me so before people come to understand to ask what is it you know it has already happened maybe you have already been mob you've been attacked by the mob so it becomes hard to an extent it's safe to an extent it's not so it's it all depends on where in the parts you know but with me I will say the being with the gender it's not it doesn't it doesn't anyone a gender can be a bad person you know it doesn't matter whether you are a man I mean it doesn't make any sense we feel like at a female driven taxes are safe but even females as equally as you know dangerous as men yeah actually they would even be worse because there's that perception that you are safe in a taxi driven by a woman and basically they can use that that notion to reach to you in a negative way so that one does not matter yeah I think it increases and I want to upload the those the taxi the different type of companies that have introduced those taxi for genders like for women because you you you you will say feel safe with a female driver because mostly I can't say absolutely but but you feel kind of safe yeah you feel you feel kind of safe so I will recommend that I think it's it's a good idea yeah I can say you in other side you in other side you in other side you keep coming obviously party or no man so I come it I should be there but obviously it's like it's perfect or what we can so I think you it has a side yes or no yes maybe no yes because of course to me got to kiss here a lot of maybe talk of rape cases whereby when a driver is a man of course you know ladies physically they are not that gifted so and then a man and a baby and then an appellate car places and of course ladies are easy to fight physically and you know so I think if for example they are lady drivers the the females will be a little bit safe but also rape is not the the only bad thing that can ever happen because of course Kunakwibi and all that so the question the answer is yes and no 100% of the problem because we cannot pin it on men or ladies that they are the bad guys and also apart from looking at sexual assault we also have to remember that we have cases of human trafficking so it's not really a gender issue we have come to the end of the show I am your host SK Gichanga see you next time same place same time doing the same thing bye


Again, cause selling really is taking the best sales practices from the for-profit sector and changing terminology and structuring it in such a way that it makes sense for fundraisers. So yes, so it would seem natural that folks that are successful in sales and for-profit could become very passionate about a particular mission and be able to easily transfer those skills and cause selling is a great way to make that connection. So, you know, cause selling is a great tool also for workforce development.


A fiery horse with a speed of light, a cloud of dust, and the hearty high old silver, the Lone Ranger. Out of the plains, with his faithful Indian companion, Tonto, fought crime and criminals throughout the western United States. At a time when gun law ruled the range country, no one could match the quickness of his draw. His strength and courage were always on the side of right against might. And the West remembers him as the greatest champion of justice the frontier ever knew. Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear. From out of the past come the thundering hoofbeats of the Great Horse Silver. The Lone Ranger rides again. The Lone Ranger and Tonto rode along the main street toward the crowded last chance gambling hall. Two shadowy figures, a man and a woman were standing near the door. But the masked man and the Indian were more interested in the horses tethered out in front. This place looks that way, Tonto. We were told to look for two horses who looked exactly alike. Ah, them over there. And the men we want must be inside.  Never mind the hitching post, Tonto. They'll stand. The men we look for inside? They must be. Come along. Oh, I didn't see you in the shadows. We've seen you. You want something in the last chance? Yes, I'm looking for two men named Spud and Brand. One of Spud's hands said they'd be in town. Where one goes, the other goes. I'm going inside. Yeah, Belle, go ahead. Gavi most likely wants you. Have you seen them? You still here, stranger? You haven't answered my question. It ain't going to, Savvy.  No? I says no. Ah, I see you wear two guns. Yeah. And you wear them strapped down. Yeah, same as you, stranger. Ready for trouble. A man who hunts for trouble is apt to find it. Use a short draw, don't you? Yep. What kind do you use? I don't draw unless I have to. But this looks as if I might. I'm going inside. Strangely, you've got to get past me first. Here's trouble. Don't be afraid. What? I could have shot you before your hoses were empty. A lightning draw. And I thought I was fast. Tell her, stay out here and keep this man company. Understand? Ah, me do it. Take a hint from me, stranger. Don't go inside. If you're looking for trouble, you'll get it. I'm not looking for trouble. I'm looking for two men. And I'm going inside. Hello, Gavi. Everything quiet downstairs. Same as usual. People's on out to the hitching post. A couple of strangers out there. Strangely, you mean Laman? One's a mast on, man. Another's an engine. Yeah. Right now, I've got other things in my mind. Creepy looking at him. He was leading up to it when I left. Bad enough. Better come over to the table. Kind of moves you around. Hey, Gavi. Come on, Chance. Come on. You know what to do. Leave it to me, Gavi. Hey, Gavi. Playing your hand or ain't you? Now, don't get your feathers up, boys. I was just telling Gavi how things are going downstairs. Hi, Val. Can't complain, Bran. OK, Chance. Need much fun playing three handed. Yeah.  Why? Well, I'll tell you. Not you, Spud. Me. I'll tell her. Oh, is that way, huh? Well, Bran, guess we better do the usual. Heads, you tell her. Tails, I do. Keyreg? Keyreg. Heads. That's me. Shoot. Is that the way you two boys settle your arguments? Sure, Belle. Ever since we was mavericks. And it ties right in with why we don't play downstairs. Me and Spud, we've been parts for a long spell. Always worked the same outfits together. Rolled the same range. Hey, hey, I won that toss. Yeah, yeah. Anyways, Belle, now me and Spud, we got our own outfits. But we're still part. Hell, see, yeah. Even your lens right next to each other. Yes, sir. Me and Spud, we're about the same size, same frame of mind, plays poker about the same, rides the same. We both got trigger tempers. Yeah, which same as why we don't play downstairs. Correct. Saves wear and tear on the shooting aisle. Why, if one of them cars switching home braids with the cold deck, us, Garby, they'd have the mayor's old local smithereens before he could bulldog the pup. Well, I don't mind your boys playing up here, but damn, man, no thanks.  Oh, yeah. I almost forgot. Your deal, one is Spud. Yeah, it's a good deal. Yeah?  Think I'll bring you luck. Ah, you're just superstitious. Let's see. Guess it's me that opens up. You drew your cards? Yeah. I'll say 20 chips. Garby, will you stand? Uh, for 20 soon. Then you better count on digging some more on a kind of I'm raising to 10 more. In that case, I'll just pay to look. I'll see you. Not me. You both threw out one card. One of you must have filmed. Yeah, too bad you didn't raise, brand. I'd have given my son these births to look more dull for you. One, two, three, four, five. Ace high flush, huh? Can you top it? Not me. Three bullets is all. Had them from the beginning. Well, then I'll corral him chips. I pull that ace in the draw. Wait a minute. Huh? Better take another squint of that ace, brandy. What do you... Hey, that's the ace of diamonds. Sure, the diamond flush. Yeah. And how come I got the diamond ace? I had it from the first. What? But cheating is strange as bad enough, but cheating your best pal is... Hey, you seen him, Belle? Well... Great good for you, no cut, play, and skunk, you come in here. I'll handle this, Garby. I'll handle that stack. Will you call on me if, chief? Hand over that stack. Brandy, you better watch out. Part of no... I said give me that stack or reach for your gun. That cuts it.  Throw her up. Why that gun across the table? Move. Where'd you come from? That gun. You shot the gun right out of my hand. Never mind. I'll get your gun myself.  Now get out. I ain't gettin' till I settle with this sidewinder. Me and me? Me and you. I said get out. Make pracks. I'll keep your gun. You got the drop on me, stranger. But I'll settle with you later. That's for you, Spud.  The sooner the better. Yeah, the sooner the better. Make it here, mess man. This here's my dickens. You're Garby, eh? I run the last chance. No mess. Don't breathe. It's gonna come in here.  What are you doing here in the first place? Never mind that. Spud. Yeah? You're staying with me until... That's all right. That's brand leaving now. Now you make pracks out of here. What about my gun? When I want it returned, I'll return it. Outside. All right, mess man. Maybe you figure you've done brand and me a favor, breaking up that shooting scrape. Perhaps. Well, you're wasting your breath. Brand and me have been parts, but that's water under the bridge, savvy. No man could call me a car chief. Part and no part. From now on I go gunning for brand, and the same goes for you. Well, stranger, whoever you are, you sure helped a set of a jam. Is that so? Sure, Garby. He don't go for shooting scrapes in the last chance. I didn't get that impression from your hired man outside. Creeper. He wears his guns too well. Hey, he mustn't mind Creeper. He's always putting on. I wanted you to get out on stage with the bar on there. The answer is no, Garby. Your manner doesn't fool me. I can't prove it, but I'm positive you wanted those two to shoot it out. You're local. You're calm on the surface, Garby. But inside you're seething. You'd like nothing better than to drop me in the dust. Well, you... That tears it. A stranger giving me that kind of lip and a mass stranger at that. There's the door. You better take it. No thanks, Garby. Right down them steps and outside.  I said no thanks. I'm taking no chances of getting a bullet in my back. I'll leave my own way. Here's over. Here, boy. That's it, boy. Right under the window.  You can't drop him. To the back of my horse? Watching you'll see. Taddo. You'll make him ready. We're riding, Taddo. I have a feeling you'll be seeing me again, Garby. Yeah. Though I won't say goodbye. Instead, I'll make it out of your... Come on, Taddo. Let's see what he called that horse. I never see you.  A horse named Sylvan, an engine car named Taddo. Outlaw nothing. That pays a loan ranger. The loan ranger? Sure it is. Wait. Listen. We're running into trouble, huh? Looks that way, Taddo. I'd stake my saddle at Brandon's spud with the victims of a trick by Garby. Ah. I came in just in time to stop a gunfight between two lifelong friends. Garby's up to something and we know what it is. That water. Yes, the water. Brandon's spud-owned land, which surrounds the only good water. Right now, it's open. If Garby gets control, he'll close that off. You know what that means in cattle country. That'd be plenty bad. Here, Taddo. Take this gun. It's a spud's gun. What do we do now? Take that gun back to spud. I'll return the other one to Brandon. Ah. We separate here at the fork in the trail. The sooner this quarrel gets patched up, the better. Then we go. Get him up, scoundrel.  This way, Sylvan. We'll see Taddo later. This way, boy. We're heading for Bram's cabin. Ranger, no ranger. I ain't givin' up that water home. You got your rifle, creeper? Yeah. Stay and steal the honorary coyote. Sooner them two cowhands start the guns to smoke and the sooner I can step in. I'm to head for Bram's cabin first, huh, Garby? Yeah. Fire one shot through the window. Then do likewise over to Spud's cabin. I got you, Garby. Pretty smart. I ain't givin' them a chance to cool off, Harry. Yeah. Come on, boys. Hey, creeper. Yeah? Each one is gonna figure the other tried to kill him, see? But get this. Maybe the lone rangers in one of them cabins right now. If you get the chance, maybe one of them shots just might get the lone ranger. Understand? Sure, boys. You can count on it. Pretty smart. Not only do I get them to, but maybe it's a finish of the lone ranger as well.  I don't like being cheated at cards. What makes you think Spud cheated you? Well, it's hard to believe a part would pull a stunt like that. Doesn't your friendship with Spud make you believe otherwise? Huh? Would you do such a thing to him? Hey, look here. You call me a car- Hey, see, Brand, there's a temper again. You should know Spud better than to imagine he cheated cards. Spud's pretty hard up. Brand, I came out here to keep you from doing something you would regret. You say it was a frame by Garvey. I can't prove it, but yes, I do. Maybe so. I'd like to believe, Spud. Then talk to him. Huh? You heard me, Brand.  When two friends break up, it's gotta be patched up fast. Understand? Well, if you put it that way- And I'll go with you. Someone's gotta be around when two hotheads clash. You say so, Ranger. But he's got to apologize first, not me. Never mind that, Brand. The main thing is- Hey, there's a rider. The man on the horse up there in the ridge. Look out! Oh! Did you see that? Ranger. He got the chair. He got the Ranger. The lone Ranger. It was Spud, that's who. Spud, that only sidewinder. Trying to get mean, he got the Ranger instead. Well, I was going over to see Spud, but this time I'm going in shooting. The curtain falls on the first act of our lone Ranger story. Before the next exciting scenes, please permit us to pause for just a few moments. Now to continue our story.  The mask man was stretched on the floor. He moved slightly and then lay still as two horsemen rained up in front of the cabin. Inchon, you stay out of this. There ain't none of your affair. Me going with you. That's your look out then. But I aim to bless daylight in the brand. Then don't you interfere, Savvy? Cabin door open. I'll give Brand a chance to draw. Which is more than he gave me the dirty coyote sneaking up to my cabin and trying to shoot me in the back. Come. Something wrong. Oh! That's not part of the plan. Yeah. Look. There, I told you. Brand, come over to finish me. When he came back, the Ranger was here. Brand shot and hard-tailed out. Where a bullet? What happened? Inchon, I ain't got time. I'm going to take care of Brand once and for all. And I'll feed him lead for getting the Ranger too. Howdy, Inchon. Get up, boy. Come on. Get up there. Brand, him lying floor. Contest day. Maybe fix him. Maybe. No, Matt, funny. Matt, and he funny. But not so funny a poor tanto him think. You thought I was dead, huh, Tata? Me think great spirit get long range. Not this time, old friend. That bullet did nothing but scratch my tempo. We know that now, but not a poor. You see this mark on the door? The bullet hit the door first. Then it glanced off and hit me. Luckily, the force was almost spent. I was merely knocked out. You all right now? Yes. But let's get this straight, Tata. You were with Spud and his cabin. What you say it's obvious that the same man who fired into this cabin went to Spud's cabin first. If I had a shot at Spud, then came over here. That's right. You say Spud came here and left it once. He's going after Brand. And since Brand wasn't here when you arrived, he must have gone out while I was unconscious. Going out to look for Spud. Not bad. The moon's gone down, Tata. It's a dark night. I don't think they'll run into each other in the dark, but just in case. We go? We'll go after Spud and make sure he doesn't run into Brand. You're sure you can follow Spud's tracks? Ah. Come on then. It takes two to make a fight. Brand can't do any shooting if he doesn't see Spud. And Spud can't shoot because we'll make sure he doesn't. Here's over. Hey, boy. Keep Scout quiet, Tata. Ah. You did a good job of trailing, Spud, Tata. If he stays on the trail he took, he'll pass right by us. Force to come now. Hold Scout's muzzle so he doesn't give us away. When I give the word we're closing, make sure Spud doesn't go for his gun. We don't want to hurt him. Ah. Me do it. Get ready. Now, Tata. Go on, Silver. What the? It's our fortune. That's all, Spud.  And who are you? You're not tracking Brand. Not tonight. The lone ranger. I've seen you on the floor. Brand's Gavin. Never mind that. You're going back to your cabin. Mr. Leggo then reigns. I said you're going back. I'm heading for Sagebrush and I'm shooting me a polecat by the name of Brand. But you're wrong. I won't try to argue with him. Because you're so bullheaded you wouldn't listen to reason. But you're not gunning for anyone tonight. Turn your horse. Let go of that ranger. You'll do nothing.  Until I say otherwise. Turn your horse. All right. You got me. You took my gun and you got me in my cabin. But get this. I'm getting out tonight. I'm going to get Brand. It's dawn now, Spud. We won't keep you here later than this afternoon. It's all the time I need to prove you're dead wrong about Brand. I believe that when you prove it and you won't. Come outside, Tata. Ah. Make sure he stays, Tata. He's a man. I've got a good idea who fired those shots. There must be tracks left on the ridge outside Brand's cabin. You go look. I'll investigate those tracks and see where they lead me. I'm certain they'll lead to the last chance in Sagebrush. Me wait here. I'll leave a broad trail when you can follow a top speed. If anything goes wrong, come after me. That's good. And keep a close watch on Spud. He's still boiling over with that temper. Harvey, him do this. Here, Silver. Yes. Garry's engineered the whole thing, Tata. No doubt about that. There's no more time to talk. Remember, if anything goes wrong, come after me. Come on, Silver. You had enough of being creepy. Oh, God. I said you had enough. Do you think you got the little Ranger? Well, I don't know. I tossed a bullet at Spud's cabin and headed for the ridge up near Brand's place. I seen the door open and I squeezed a trigger and the guy went down.  Well, that's what gets me. My horse is faster than his, so I got away. Now, if it'd been the lone Ranger after me, I'd have been caught in a hurry. So, well, it must have been the Ranger I shot. Yeah, it looks that way. Harvey, I'm scared.    Garry. Oh. You find out anything, Bill? I've seen Brand. He came to town last night. Gun him for Spud. He didn't find him, so he bunked up to more candles. Brand. I told you it wasn't the Ranger after me. Brand says Spud shot the lone Ranger. It was you creeper, weren't it? We'll get to that later, Bill. Yeah, Garvey? Brand's still hot under the collar. What's the before? He's staying in town. Says he knows Spud will show up sometime today and he ain't going to miss him. Mm-hmm. That senses it. It's going to work out fine. One of them is going to kill the other, sure. The one what's left ain't going to linger around these parts for long. I can take over that waterhole without raising a finger. And I'll squeeze them all as once water. I'll squeeze them dry.  Garvey, what about me? Me shooting the lone Ranger. How much later are you going to figure out what I'm to do? There ain't but one thing to do, creeper. Where's your house? Not back. I didn't use a hitch in me a lot, Frank. And you better put on boots and a stirrup leather and make tracks. Oh. You can't cover it for me, huh? I ain't no fool, creeper. Garvey's right. Soon or later, it's got to come out. And the Ranger's got an engine pal. Yeah, I've seen that engine. Well, I guess you're right, Garvey. I'll put distance between us right now. Just give me some cash. Sorry, creeper. Huh? I ain't got no cash to give you. No cash? You pulled in plenty at the gambling tables last week. I said no cash, creeper. Oh. I get it. You know I got to pull up stakes. So you're dealing me out, huh? Nobody knows you're here, creeper. But from the sound of them moves, somebody's going to know it soon.  All right. I've done your dirty work for you. Now you won't pay. I'm going to get this, Garvey. You better go fast. That ombre's coming in. There's the back door, creeper. I get it, Garvey. But I won't forget. That's saving money, huh, Belle? There he goes. Yeah. Hey, looking for somebody to cab away? I'm looking for a creeper. Where is he? That's Freddy. You lone ranger. Oh.  Rain or tunnel? Ah. Oh, oh, oh. Tunnel. What are you doing here outside of town? Why aren't you guarding Spud? Me for fail to tell you. Him get away. What? Spud get out of the cabin? That's right. When? How long ago? Right for, son, this high. An hour, huh? He headed for town? That's right. You see, trail start, then come after you. You followed my trace? Yeah. Tunnel, I just came from town. I went to the last Chance Cafe to get creeper. Him fire shot? It was creeper, all right. I found some black horse hair on the ridge. Here's horses, black. There was a nick and one hoof. What you do here, then? Creeper wasn't in the last Chance. He'd been there before, although Garvey denied it. Found those hoof marks out from back. Creeper come this way? I'm after him right now. I was crossing the slope when I saw you down below. Otherwise, you'd have missed me in town. Ah. This is serious. Brand's in town now. If he meets up with Spud, there's going to be a shooting. Spud, him go to town. Unless I catch Creeper and get him back to town, two partners are going to throw bullets at each other for something neither one of them did. Too late now. Perhaps it is too late. But we're still going to try. Toward a head for town. Do all in your power to prevent a clash between Spud and Brand. I'm going after Creeper. I'll bring him back if I have to drag him. And pray it isn't too late. Get him up, Spud! Come on, Silver! Hello, Silver! Away! Yeah, I came to town to settle with that back-shootin' Paul Kat Brand. Where is he? He's up Spud. Ain't Brad your part? What's come between ya? He ain't no part of mine, not no more. He called me a card cheatin' skunk right to my face. Yeah! After that, he snuck up to my cabin and tried to drill me through the bank. All I want is a gun. Who's got a gun? I'm sure you ain't making a mistake about this Spud. It's my own business, Garvey. I can see that, Spud. He's a gun for you. Thanks. It's loaded. It's loaded. Wait a minute! Maybe I forgot doing the wrong thing. Let me tell you this. Me and Bill was in that room when Brad started callin' names. Ain't that so, Bill? Spud's doing the right thing. Brand didn't have no call to talk that away. Hey, Spud. Huh? Down there, look. We're in the town. Where? He's out the middle of the street. I'm gettin' back. There's gonna be bullets flying. Yeah. Well, this looks like the showdown, huh? You wait. I'll call my own. You fool!   You do this, Garvey! You crook! You'll land here for that later red skin. Some of you grab this snort cottage and a drink. I'm out of the way! Get away! Get it! Get away! Go on! Better get out of the street, Garvey. You got the son behind you, Spud? Yeah. Come on again.  Make sure you get the draw on him. I'm waitin' for him to draw first. Yeah. Go, Shane. Brand used to be my part. He's fixin' to shoot ya. It's you or him. Yeah. Yeah, get back, Garvey. He'll be in shootin' range in a couple of seconds. We're goin' out to meet him halfway. You was a good part, Brand. Now we ain't parts. We're goin' gunnin' for each other. Why'd you do it, Brand? Why'd you call me a cheat? That's the one thing I can't swallow. This is it. I'm callin' ya, ya yellow-libert po-cat. Draw, Brand. Drawin' you get what's comin' to ya. Reach for your guns. All right, you rascal! Go! My hand! Don't move, either of you! Did you see that?  It's a long range. Get out of this mess, man. Ain't you a quarrel? You had no quarrel to shoot the guns out of our hands? I'm making it my quarrel. Spud didn't cheat you, Brand. Garvey did it. Garvey and Bell.   What? He didn't. Any more than you fired into his cabin. The man who did it is right behind me. All right, creepers. Start talking. Garvey. Creeper. Ranger, bring it back. Yeah, Garvey. You brought me back. And I don't mind comin' back. Now I know the Lone Ranger ain't dead. Get to the point, mister. You're still tryin' to prove Brand... I'm tryin' to stop you from being hot-headed fools. Garvey wanted your land for the water. He not only fixed those cars, he sent Creeper out to make each of you mistrust the other. If I hadn't brought Creeper back, he'd have succeeded. The Lone Ranger's got it straight. I can back up every word. Now all I ask is that you give Garvey what he deserves. Let go of me! Let go of me! Oh, you don't get double-crossing. That's right, Brand. Hold on to him. I'm giving you a hand. We were partners before, and we're partners again. For Keeps. Come on! Kill Spud!

Every year we learn about the struggles of our ancestors. But what about what Black people are doing today? Of course, it's important to remember the past, but it's also important to look how far we've come. Jordan Peele swept the nominations for the biggest awards at the Oscars for Get Out, a parody of Black Relations in America. Ryan Coogler and Marvel's Black Panther continues to break box office records even before its February 16th release, having the highest selling pre-sell tickets for the superhero movie and is set to break Marvel's opening weekend box office record. TV show hitmaker Shonda Rhimes struck a multi-year, multi-million dollar deal with Netflix that will go down as one of the largest deals in the streaming services history.  The National Museum of African American History and Culture opened in Washington, D.C. and received more than a million visitors in its first four months. College graduation rates among African Americans have nearly doubled in the past 20 years, with 23% of all African Americans earning college degrees. Black entrepreneurship is soaring with businesses owned by Black women alone, pulling in $51.4 billion in revenue. And even though the Obamas are out of the White House, they've still been making rounds on television and social media, so we don't have to miss them too much. And Will Smith joined Instagram in an age when Black Lives Matter needs to be said as if someone thinks otherwise. When Nazis are a thing that we have to worry about again, and when civil rights are being threatened daily, it's nice to remember that Black people are flourishing in every area of life. Black History Month is no longer a month to be moaned past, but to celebrate the future of Black excellence. For Uproxx, I'm Berdellis.


So in class today we're going to continue on our research on Alberta's natural region. Remember you've got your region that you're researching and we have access to the Alberta Naturally website. You may want to read together with a partner or you may want to use text-to-speech to listen to the text as you go. In my classroom I make use of a text-to-speech software that allows the students to highlight text and then hear it if they can't read it themselves. We have a site license, we've put it on every device that we have in the school including our teacher desktops and it's simply an icon that the students open up. It brings up a small box in the corner of the screen for them and as they're bringing up either a PDF of a text book or they're on a website they can simply take their cursor, highlight a chunk of text, click the read button and as long as they have a headset in or they've got their laptop speakers turned on it will then read the text to them aloud. I was on a website with lots of words and I highlight a bit of the words and I press the button that said read and I read it all for me. A lot of kids who have trouble decoding like to use text-to-speech because listening to it is much easier than having for them to labor and reading and trying to decode where they often just focus on decoding and they're not comprehending. Reading the social text book with the tool is way easier than reading it without because I'm not that strong of a reader. In our classrooms I feel that learner preference is a big driver of how we teach because our students need to be motivated and engaged so if they have access to a variety of tools and a variety of strategies and they get to select and choose the ones that either work best for them to help them with their learning and remove barriers or they just like using they're going to be motivated in the lesson. Technology has really helped to engage a lot of our students because they're able to work more independently so they're students who often had to wait for an adult to come to them or be waiting with their hand up or waiting to ask a friend or get frustrated so I find that having the technology in the classroom they're able to get to work more independently and they're able to take ownership of their learning so I find that the students are really motivated they're feeling confident in their learning and are proud of their learning they want to bring their parents in there can I email that to my mom and kid can I take that home and they're so motivated to come to class and to learn. Another way that I found really helpful for students is in writing so kids would write something and then they can go back and they can highlight what they've written and listen to it for for sense for meaning. I would definitely say that I'm able to be a better teacher because of technology. I have more time to work with students directly. Some of my students that I may have both before had to take the time to scribe for or read to and doing those tasks the technology is able to do that for me so if they need a scribe or they need a reader there's a computer to do that so that means me as a teacher I'm able to sit down and work on concept development so rather than doing a menial task of reading I can sit down with a child and have a discussion with them and figure out are they missing background knowledge do they not understand do they have a misconception and is there something I need to clarify so I find I get to support students in concept development rather than being their secretary. It gives me a lot of confidence to read. It's taught me that reading can be fun not boring.


Got a big wetsuit selection here. Drysuit. These are $200 drysuits here. It keeps you dry, you fall in, you don't get wet. They're a lot of fun when it's real cold. Down here, got wetsuits all the way down. That is so cold!


Zero Accounting Software 2023, Enter Transaction, Purchasing Equipment, Using Bank Feeds.  Here we are in our Custom Zero homepage going into the company file. We set up in a prior presentation the Bank Feed File. Duplicating some tabs to put reports in like we do every time. We're going to right-click on the tab up top so we can duplicate it. We're going to right-click on that duplicated tab and duplicate it again. Let's go back to the tab to the middle and the Accounting drop-down. We want to go into the balance sheet report, one of the major financial statement reports. Then we'll tab to the right, Accounting drop-down, and this time the income statement or profit and loss. The other major financial statement report. I'm going to bring the range of the dates back to 2022 because that's the data input range I'm adding to the system. So I'm going to hit the drop-down 2022 January to December of 2022 and update our reports. So we have just what we've entered from the Bank Feeds and the prior presentations tabbing to the left. We have 2022 for the point in time on the balance sheet that looks good. Let's tab to the left again. This time we want to be looking at our Bank Feeds. So we've uploaded the Bank Feeds in a prior presentation and the Accounting drop-down. If we go into our Bank Accounts, we have our Bank Feed information here. We'll hit the drop-down up top. I'm going to go into the Account Transactions and now we're basically in our Bank Feed type center. We're going to go into the Reconcile area as we have done in prior presentations. And this time we want to imagine a situation will be a little bit different in that we still have money going out, but instead of a normal kind of purchase that we're making for expenses that happen periodically fairly regularly and therefore lend themselves to bank rule creation quite readily, we are now going to be looking at the purchase of equipment, which is not something that happens on as regular a basis and therefore when we think about the rules and the account we set up, we've got to be a little bit more mindful of it. All right, so I'm just going to pick a transaction and imagine that the transaction is coming from the Bank Feed. So I'm going to go next here. I'm sorry. It's going to imagine that it's coming through the bank feeds for the purchase of equipment. It's hard to talk and look for the transaction here, but I'll just be quiet and find my transaction. There's the one. This is the one I want. So I'm going to pick this one here. So we haven't been entering any transactions on our end. We've waited till things clear the bank and now we're going to be recording them on our side. So we're going to basically do the same kind of thing we did last time, record the transaction and think about whether or not we want to make a rule for it. Now let's just take a quick look at the difference in a flow chart. This is a QuickBooks desktop home page flow chart, but we are just using it to look at the flow of transactions, which is basically the same for any kind of accounting system. We're looking at the outflow here. Now remember when the money is going out of the business, we're purchasing usually services oftentimes and goods that are short term, things that are expenses when we actually pay for them. Therefore, with the bank feeds, we can basically use a check form or a reduction of the bank type of form. And that works perfect. That's what we looked at last time with the utility bills and the telephone bills. However, if we're purchasing equipment, then you're basically going to have to deviate from the standard accrual or cash kind of basis and do an accrual thing, putting the equipment on the books as an asset. Now you might say, why do I have to do that? I'll just expense the equipment when I purchase it. But if you're in the United States, for example, just for taxes, the tax code is going to force you to deviate, even if you're on a cash basis from that cash basis to an accrual basis. And so you're going to have to do that on certain types of things. So that's why equipment becomes more complicated. You can see the rationale for that most clearly with something like a building. If you paid $100,000 for a building, what would happen if you just expense it when you compare January's performance on the income statement to February? January would look like a very bad month if you purchased a whole building and expensed it during that month, which isn't actually proper from an accrual standpoint because you're going to be using the building in the future and therefore you should allocate the cost over the useful life. And so that's the same concept with other pieces of equipment that you're purchasing, like a forklift or large equipment. So that means that when we're looking at this from our bank feed standpoint, the problem is we don't buy equipment all the time. It's not like a regular thing that we do, such as we do do with inventory or something like that. If I buy inventory or I pay for my normal utility bill, that happens on a fairly routine basis and the vendors are probably just providing that particular thing such as inventory or the utility, the electric or something like that so it's easy to make a bank feed with. But with large pieces of equipment, we're usually deciding something that we need at this point in time that we haven't purchased for a long time and once we make the purchase, we're going to be using it for a long time and we might be purchasing it from the same place that we purchase, say, supplies from. So if we just set up our bank fees to say whenever I purchase something from like a Home Depot or in our case, this series or whatever, then I want you to record it as an expense of supplies expense. We're going to run into problems that when we purchase large pieces of equipment, we might accidentally record it as an expense when we're going to need to in reality record it as an asset in order to comply with the tax code and whatnot for that particular purchase. So you might be able to think about kind of how can you set up your bank rules so that there may be there's dollar limitations to help you to determine to at least think over whether or not something should be expensed or put on the books as an asset. Now, the other thing just to mention when you're purchasing large equipment, for example, you might have a loan or part of it is financed. So you might be paying a down payment and finance the rest of it. If that happens, then clearly the only thing that you're going to see pulling through from the bank feeds, if you're waiting till it goes through the bank feeds is going to be the dollar amount here. So that came out of the checking account, not the financing portion. So you would have to then think about how you're going to be dealing with the financing portion. Now, you can enter a transaction so that you can include the loan that you're putting on the books or you could try to stay on a cash based system, for example, and work with an accountant to help you to shore these things up at the end of the year. So if you paid any money for the equipment, as long as you make sure to put it down on the books as equipment, for example, and then tell your accountant at the end of the year and say, Hey, look, I'm trying to stay in a cash based system. There was a loan kind of transaction that took place here. I've just record the payments to the loan to the loan account, but you need to shore up the transaction with regards to the purchase of the equipment and put the loan on the books for the proper amount and make the adjustment for short term and long term loan if you need to as well as break out the interest. So again, if you're working with an accountant and you're trying to automate everything, you might be able to come up with a system where you basically can kind of automate everything even when you hit some of these more complicated areas if you're able to yourself or work with an accountant that knows the system that you're doing and can make the proper adjusting entries to shore up those things that make it difficult to automate the bank feeds. All right, so I'm going to copy this and just say this is going to be the name and choose what it's for. I'm going to expand this down here. Let's add the details so I can add a new account when I choose what it's for. So here it is. The date's going to be good reference. We're not buying inventory, so no item. So this is good. Now on the account, we're going to need to add an account and this time it's not going to be an expense account. We're going to put it on the books as an asset type of account. So I'm going to add, so where the assets should be up top, I'll just say like one, two maybe. So I'll say add number. I'm trying to think of the code. One, two, one, zero. Let's see. I think that will be open. And then the account type is going to be a fixed asset. So it's a fixed asset type of account. I'm going to call it equipment, equipment. And that looks.


Hi, I'm Shri Peruvimba for SID. I'm here with Dave Dutton, CEO of Silvaco. We just finished the CEO forum just now. Thank you very much Dave for doing this. I wanted to expand and ask you a few questions. First of all, how has SID's display week been for you? This week's been, as the last few display weeks we've been at, it's been very wonderful. Like you said, it's record attendance, we're feeling it up there. We have great visits, not only new customers but a lot, this is where we really get consolidated, a level to sit with a lot of existing customers and work with them as well. Plus just the technical track and the amount of material here is really great for our people. For the benefit of folks who are not here at display week, we have well over 8,000 people who are here, but there are obviously a few million people that will probably watch this video. Tell us a little bit about your company Silvaco. Sure. Thank you. Silvaco is a 35-year-old company, so we've been around since 1984. At a very high level we do simulation and design. We have software for simulation design of displays. We are very strong in displays. We're the leader in that area where customers will use us to really simulate what new materials as well as what happens in the fab to designing their display and then testing that that display design will work. We work very hard to listen to our customers in the industry. It's a very fast-moving industry and I think the key to success is be able to then create the tools and the products that the customers need and that's a constant evolution. And your company has doubled in size in the last 12 months. Congratulations. Awesome job. As a CEO it must feel very good. So what specific industry is that you had the greatest growth? I think a couple of them. One is in display itself and then we're just seeing as you know display is just exploding and I think it'll it's just at the very tip of where it's going to go because you know display is really the interface between humans and the computation world and that as we talk about AI and stuff is exploding. So I think it's key for that. The other area we've seen is kind of similar to display because it combines about optics along with electronics is that it's in the way of sensors and sensors which are another area that are really evolving so we can have automated driving and IOT and all those areas. So those are two key ones. Power is another one that we're seeing as you electrify more and more of the world. So those three areas along with still the continued drive for the most advanced semiconductor more than more is another area that we have to work in. So it's really all four of those that are allowing us to grow the company and be very successful in those areas. That's wonderful. Thank you for being a big supporter of SID not just SID corporate but also our Silicon Valley chapter. Yes. You've done so much and I know that you've been hiring this year and you've done extremely well in the first quarter in terms of hiring. Are you going to believe this trend will continue in terms of hiring within the company? I think so. I think well you know we have to make sure we digest and we hire so fast we have to digest people. Exactly. But I think we'll continue to hire, we'll continue to need especially physicists, mathematicians, computational engineers as long as well as very good software coders and those combine to bring together the products we make for customers so that they can really reduce their R&D costs as well as accelerate their time to market. That's what our fundamental job is. Absolutely. Wonderful. Well thank you once again for being on the forum and being a big supporter of SID. Thank you very much and congratulations on a very successful display week 2019. Alright, excellent. Thank
