LAS NOTICIAS: Putin pide más avances tras la toma de Avdivka, Ucrania niega pérdida de Krinki y OTANEl presidente de Rusia, Vladímir Putin, ha otorgado reconocimientos a miembros de la Fuerza Aeroespacial rusa tras la captura del estratégico bastión ucraniano de Avdivka, cercano a la capital regional de Donetsk, un área que fue anexada por el Kremlin en septiembre de 2022. Durante una ceremonia en el aeródromo de Chkálovski, en la región de Moscú, el líder del Kremlin, acompañado por el ministro de Defensa ruso, Serguéi Shoigú, manifestó su satisfacción por tener la oportunidad de conceder distinciones estatales a las unidades de las Fuerzas Aeroespaciales.A su vez, en este entorno, el ejército ucraniano ha desmentido el miércoles la afirmación de que haya perdido el control de su cabeza de puente en Krynky, ubicada en la orilla ocupada del Dniéper, al sur de Ucrania. Esta área fue mencionada por el presidente ruso Vladimir Putin, quien declaró el día anterior que sus fuerzas la habían tomado.#noticiasdelamañana #noticias #putin #rusia #guerra #adivka #ukrainewar #ucrania #krinki #invasion #otan #zelensky #geopolitica #ultimahora #negociostv Si quieres entrar en la Academia de Negocios TV, este es el enlace: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwd8Byi93KbnsYmCcKLExvQ/join Síguenos en directo ➡️ https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pSuscríbete a nuestro canal: https://bit.ly/3jsMzp2Visita Negocios TV https://bit.ly/2Ts9V3pMás vídeos de Negocios TV: https://youtube.com/@NegociosTVSíguenos en Telegram: https://t.me/negociostvSíguenos en Instagram: https://bit.ly/3oytWndTwitter: https://bit.ly/3jz6LptFacebook: https://bit.ly/3e3kIuy

[Vision Forward] 11:02:20 And now here are your hosts, Corey and Lou. [Vision Forward] 11:02:29 Hello! Hello! Hello! Hello! Hi! [Vision Forward] 11:02:34 Hello! How's everybody doing this morning? It is Thursday, June twenty-first, 2023, and that can only mean one thing. [Vision Forward] 11:02:47 Time, and that can only mean one thing, time for tech talk a little time for tech, connect, live. [Vision Forward] 11:02:54 We potentially are having good Jonathan. If you could confirm my troops, I just heard so over there, hey? [Vision Forward] 11:03:02 He must be Ok. Hello, everybody. Hello, good! So welcome. Hello! Apologist to those on Youtube who did not hear our lovely intro music. [Vision Forward] 11:03:09 Hopefully, we'll get that rectified for the next session. [Vision Forward] 11:03:12 Something always has to go wrong. But luckily this was a fairly minor thing. [Vision Forward] 11:03:17 So that is good, and thank you to everybody who completed our survey as well. [Vision Forward] 11:03:20 With me, too. Yeah, we did send out a survey with requests for ideas about where to take the show's direction, and we are probably going to make some small changes just to improve the show for those who enjoy it, and hopefully bring on that some do you know what the most requested change was go ahead let me know no, more [Vision Forward] 11:03:40 jokes, yes, it was, sadly. People don't seem to like jokes so much the jokes, but more just all of the chatting upfront. [Vision Forward] 11:03:49 So we are gonna try and get into the show a little bit more quickly and apologies to those who did enjoy those well, and I get it. [Vision Forward] 11:03:56 It is when we started this it was during Covid 3 years ago. [Vision Forward] 11:03:59 People, were at home. They had a little more spare time. [Vision Forward] 11:04:01 Yeah, now, people are connecting in the midst of work or whatever they might be doing and so they want to just get right to the information. Totally understand that. [Vision Forward] 11:04:12 So we are going to speed up our beginning. As we keep talking about I know, I think I think we have some further conversation to have, as well regarding show length and topics. [Vision Forward] 11:04:27 Yeah, if you didn't fill out the survey, please do so. [Vision Forward] 11:04:30 It should have dropped in your mailbox. Your email will probably maybe send it out one more time, just to make sure it really is helpful, though, to fill out that survey. [Vision Forward] 11:04:39 We can actually drop it in the comments of this video. [Vision Forward] 11:04:45 Once it gets archived on Youtube, we'll post and PIN that to this, to this session, so that those on Youtube can also have a chance to do that. [Vision Forward] 11:04:55 And it really is helpful. So we appreciate it. And if you really want to confuse us, fill out the survey twice with completely opposite points of view each time really confuses it will skew the results. [Vision Forward] 11:05:09 I assume people can fill it out more than once if they are feeling the fact as many times as they'd like I probably shouldn't have told them that so anyway, today we are talking about jaws, and some of the feature full features. [Vision Forward] 11:05:20 Yes, in jaws. So jaws is a screen, reader, for those who are not aware which is probably no one. [Vision Forward] 11:05:24 I imagine everybody on this show is aware of jaws, and it does have some really nice features that I don't think are necessarily all that explored. [Vision Forward] 11:05:31 Yeah, I think a lot of the features that we're looking to look at today are these features that have been introduced over? [Vision Forward] 11:05:36 Maybe the past 4 or 5 years. They're not really like mainstay features. [Vision Forward] 11:05:41 Everyone sort of jars, I think, is a lot like other programs where there's so much it does. [Vision Forward] 11:05:46 But you really just utilize what you know, or what you've been taught, and some of these other features, like smart glances, flexible web, and and the voice assistant are things that have been introduced more recently. [Vision Forward] 11:06:01 And you just may not have really gotten understanding of either how they work or what they do. [Vision Forward] 11:06:06 And so that's what we wanted to highlight today. [Vision Forward] 11:06:08 I think as a trainer, it's easy to get stuck in a rut with just teaching what you know, and not taking advantage of the newer features. [Vision Forward] 11:06:16 But then that's doing a disservice to your clients. [Vision Forward] 11:06:19 And as a user, I mean, it's the same type of thing. [Vision Forward] 11:06:22 There might be features which you haven't explored, because you are used to using whatever you know so hopefully, this will be some new information for people and make them even more powerful. [Vision Forward] 11:06:30 Screw, read a users just like Corey here I am, Corey, the power man. I am Mr. [Vision Forward] 11:06:35 Screen reader, that my friends, hey, Mr. Screen reader, please tell me that's true. [Vision Forward] 11:06:47 Howdy do you say? Hey, Mr. Mr. So so yeah, what we've got in store call? [Vision Forward] 11:06:51 So we're going to jump in now on the title of this session. [Vision Forward] 11:06:55 We're going to jump in now on our on the title of of this session we included a few different cool features. [Vision Forward] 11:06:58 We included flexible web, touchscreen support, smart glances. Yes, and Sharkey. [Vision Forward] 11:07:06 Yeah. The voice assistant yes. Now, at the top of the maybe I shouldn't say this, but right at the top I'm going to say we're not really going to touch on touchscreen touch on. [Vision Forward] 11:07:16 We're not really going to cover touchscreen support in this session. [Vision Forward] 11:07:19 Number one. I realize that I don't have a touch screen laptop super handy. [Vision Forward] 11:07:24 So it's gonna be kind of. I don't want to just sit and talk about the different gestures. [Vision Forward] 11:07:28 So we will do an upcoming session on touchscreen plus. [Vision Forward] 11:07:31 Actually, I think, touchscreen itself could almost take an hour there's a lot of different gestures and stuff so today we're going to look at 3 specific features that might be overlooked. [Vision Forward] 11:07:43 That's flexible web, smart glances and Sharkey, or the Voices Assistant. [Vision Forward] 11:07:48 So that's what we're going to jump into today. [Vision Forward] 11:07:49 So I will say, even though we are cutting down the intros, we are still going to have a joke. [Vision Forward] 11:07:53 But today, oh, yeah, today, Sharkie is going to jump right in. Oh, well, he's listening to you right away. [Vision Forward] 11:08:01 So why don't we go ahead and jump right into that piece? [Vision Forward] 11:08:04 So 1, 2, 3, 4. Let's did that do it? [Vision Forward] 11:08:10 No, which one is that one. I think it's an excellent luck. [Vision Forward] 11:08:13 Let me. I think you've got the right one. Actually. [Vision Forward] 11:08:14 PC, is that one muted? Now? Yeah, so if you go ahead and use jols here, if people could let us know in the chats whether they can hear jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:08:20 Ok, that would be a problem. I'll just type something oops. [Vision Forward] 11:08:25 Hello! Document one. There we go! Hello, everyone! Everyone exclaim. So let us know. In the chat. [Vision Forward] 11:08:34 If you are able to hear that. Ok, we are making our computer. [Vision Forward] 11:08:37 And I think it should be, okay. Yeah, just let us know. [Vision Forward] 11:08:39 So let's jump in here and just let me know if there's an issue. So they have released. [Vision Forward] 11:08:44 I believe it was in jaws 2021. They are released. [Vision Forward] 11:08:48 A voice assistant for both jaws and for zoom, text, or fusion and jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:08:55 It's called Sharkey is the kind of key phrase, and in zoom it's Zoomie now. [Vision Forward] 11:09:03 First and foremost, I actually sort of like both of them, but I will say I got an issue with the sharky and soothe me. The names. [Vision Forward] 11:09:11 Yeah, I get, why they chose it. But I just got a real issue. [Vision Forward] 11:09:16 I like shocking, because it reminds me of the cartoon shocking! [Vision Forward] 11:09:18 And, George, okay, I'm not sure if you I don't think that was in a American. [Vision Forward] 11:09:21 I wasn't sure. Yeah. So Shaki and George, they were crime fighters, and they were in the sea because Sharkie was a shock. [Vision Forward] 11:09:29 And George. What was George? Just a fish of some sort? I don't have a better way. [Vision Forward] 11:09:32 They swam through the ocean, and solving crime. There's a lot better crime. [Vision Forward] 11:09:39 So so released in 2021 and basically it's freedom, scientific version of the voice assistant. [Vision Forward] 11:09:44 What I wanna do real quickly is just show you where you can go to turn it on, and where some of the settings are. [Vision Forward] 11:09:50 So I'm going to go into my jaws. Menu. [Vision Forward] 11:09:54 Here draws context, menu. And we're going to utilities, utilities, submenu. [Vision Forward] 11:09:58 And actually, let's slow that down, leaving it slower, slower. [Vision Forward] 11:10:01 There we go, joyous context utilities. Submenu. Yeah, we'll go into utilities. [Vision Forward] 11:10:05 Josh Tandon, a voice assistant submit, and the second options. [Vision Forward] 11:10:10 Voice assistant, let's go on in here. Talk to jaws in search, plus alt plus space. [Vision Forward] 11:10:14 Now, here's one method for you to engage the voice assistant is by going in here and actually choosing this option, which I find to be a little bit cumbersome is it a keyboard? Chk? Yeah, yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:10:26 Or just coming right into the that would be great. Yeah. So we're going to go down. [Vision Forward] 11:10:30 Though to settings settings Dot, and let's just take a peek real quick. [Vision Forward] 11:10:34 Enter leaving Menus voice assistant Settings dialog enable voice assistant check box, check, for we want to make sure that this enable voice assistant checkbox is checked. [Vision Forward] 11:10:44 Otherwise we'll be just talking to our computer, and nothing will be happening. [Vision Forward] 11:10:48 Listen for wake word sharky radio. Button checked 2 of 2. [Vision Forward] 11:10:53 So we have 2 options. Here we have listen for the wake word, or we can choose the other option. [Vision Forward] 11:10:58 Listen for wait words, Sharkey radio, button check. So basically, you can choose from. [Vision Forward] 11:11:02 Hey! Followed by the wake word, or just the wake word itself. [Vision Forward] 11:11:06 Litigin so I'm going to choose the one with Hey? [Vision Forward] 11:11:11 Do not listen for weight, ward, checkbox, Snapchat, if you don't want. [Vision Forward] 11:11:15 If you still want to use the voice assistant, either through keyboard shortcuts or another method. [Vision Forward] 11:11:19 But don't want it listening for the wake word. [Vision Forward] 11:11:23 You can uncheck this box or check this box here, enable voice assistant sounds check box check you're going to hear when we give it a command that there is a start listening and end listening sound. [Vision Forward] 11:11:34 If you check you can, you can get rid of those here by doing this check box. [Vision Forward] 11:11:37 If you choose, microphone input device combo box windows, default. [Vision Forward] 11:11:43 If you've got a different microphone that you want to use, either set it to the default, or if you have a headset that you're always wearing, whatever it might be, you can make sure and choose which microphone you want take me to the privacy policy link if you want to go and take a [Vision Forward] 11:11:54 look obviously at their privacy policy. You can do that. Okay. [Vision Forward] 11:11:57 All right, let's do. Okay. We've got it turned down. [Vision Forward] 11:12:00 We're ready to go. So let's just do a couple little quick examples. [Vision Forward] 11:12:03 So we know that the listen word is hay, followed by its trigger word. [Vision Forward] 11:12:09 So we'll do it in a moment, and we'll just start real quickly with the time. [Vision Forward] 11:12:13 Hold on. We still need a joke as well. Oh, yeah, okay, let's start with that. That works. Good idea. [Vision Forward] 11:12:18 All right, we're gonna have our good friend Jaws here. [Vision Forward] 11:12:21 Tell us a joke, since we skipped over the joke. [Vision Forward] 11:12:24 Hey, Sharkey, tell me a joke! [Vision Forward] 11:12:28 What do you call a shark? Who wants to be by himself a lone shark? [Vision Forward] 11:12:33 A lone pair. Very good. I've asked it about 5 jokes. They also heard, as they all seem to be sharp, related. [Vision Forward] 11:12:49 At some point that's got to end. But you can get jokes from it. [Vision Forward] 11:12:56 No good voices. A voice assistant is not a good voice, assistant. [Vision Forward] 11:13:00 If it doesn't tell Joe, I think shocking. [Vision Forward] 11:13:01 The quality of shark. His jokes seem to be better than most. [Vision Forward] 11:13:03 All right. Let's give it one more. Hey, Sharkey, okay, let's try again. [Vision Forward] 11:13:04 Hey, Sharkey, tell me a joke! [Vision Forward] 11:13:07 I love the F. 5 key. It's just so refreshing. [Vision Forward] 11:13:12 Oh, my God! So that was a computer job that was shock, specific. [Vision Forward] 11:13:16 That was actually pretty good. So if you're very geeky like Korea and I, then you might enjoy your show all right. [Vision Forward] 11:13:21 Let's do a couple other real quick ones. Hey, Sharkey! [Vision Forward] 11:13:24 What time is it? [Vision Forward] 11:13:27 1113 A. M. So, like most voice assistants, we can ask it the time we can ask it. [Vision Forward] 11:13:33 The date. That's all good, but we're really more interested in sort of more specific jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:13:38 Youes right? And really the point of this voice assistant is for those who may struggle with remembering keyboard commands. [Vision Forward] 11:13:46 It's obviously it's not like windows, voice, access, voice control, where we can do pretty much everything. [Vision Forward] 11:13:55 This is, there's a lot, but it's still pretty limited on what we have to do. [Vision Forward] 11:13:59 So there's a lot of keyboard commands you still have to remember. [Vision Forward] 11:14:02 But for some of those things that you maybe don't do very often like increasing and decreasing your speech rate, we can do it via Shkey. [Vision Forward] 11:14:11 Hey sharkey! Speak faster! [Vision Forward] 11:14:14 You try again, faster, serious, trying to talk on my watch at the same time. [Vision Forward] 11:14:20 Hey Sharkey, Hey Sharkey Speech, Rate, 60. [Vision Forward] 11:14:28 Hey, sharkey speech rate, 30. [Vision Forward] 11:14:32 30%. So we can do either speak faster, speak slower, or we can give it a specific 30, 56 million dollars per minute, is it? Yeah, I think that's the percentage. [Vision Forward] 11:14:47 I think it might be based offwards per minute. But it's it's in line with what you would see when you go into the jaws settings and change the speech right? [Vision Forward] 11:14:54 So they are in line there, so you can do larger increments if you'd like to. [Vision Forward] 11:14:58 Okay, so let's go. I have a little cheat sheet here that I want to jump back to, because I don't want to forget anything. [Vision Forward] 11:15:08 Tell me. Oh, here's another good one, too. I have a question for you. [Vision Forward] 11:15:13 Yes. What is the keyboard shortcut to test? To find out the battery status of your laptop? [Vision Forward] 11:15:21 Well, I don't know the specific shocker. I would probably go to the notification chevron and open that up, and should be in there. [Vision Forward] 11:15:29 I believe it's inert. Is it? Insert all beer in search control, be insert alt. B. [Vision Forward] 11:15:38 No bookmarks. No, that's not insert control. [Vision Forward] 11:15:39 B control. B, no, that's all. Oh, well, maybe it's shift. [Vision Forward] 11:15:43 Geez! It's been so long now since I've done it A/C connect there it is. Recharge. [Vision Forward] 11:15:47 Insert, shift, B easy, because that's real easy to do with 2 hands, anyways. How about we do, hey? [Vision Forward] 11:15:52 Sharkey, hey, Sharkey? Okay. Third times. A truck, hey, Sharkey Clinton, like Hey, Sharkey, Battery? [Vision Forward] 11:16:06 A/C. Connected, recharging, battery battery, level, high battery, 97% vision forward. [Vision Forward] 11:16:13 That's cool. And again the Internet access as well, too, I will say the the lack of response. [Vision Forward] 11:16:20 Some of the hay sharky commands something you see pretty regularly. [Vision Forward] 11:16:24 With these speech recognition, yeah, then, with hay, Kultana. [Vision Forward] 11:16:27 Sometimes it responds, sometimes it doesn't. It might be better with a headset. [Vision Forward] 11:16:29 Possibly probably would be, I'd also be interested switching it to just the without. Hey? [Vision Forward] 11:16:35 And I'd be curious just saying, sharky, if there'd be much difference. Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:16:38 So, battery. That's another really cool one, too. [Vision Forward] 11:16:40 Let me jump back to my other faster. Ok, we did that start selection. [Vision Forward] 11:16:47 Oh, here's an interesting one, so let's try this one. [Vision Forward] 11:16:50 There is a way in jaws to when you want to select text, and we know we can just use our shift key in conjunction with any of our text navigation keys and do it that way. [Vision Forward] 11:17:03 But there's also a way to do. Start and start and stop a selection so that you can start selection, and then move to where you want it to be finished selection, and then it'll just select all of what's in there so would you once you said start selection would you [Vision Forward] 11:17:18 move with the arrows. Yeah, exactly. So, for example, let's just type something here. [Vision Forward] 11:17:22 Hello! This is. [Vision Forward] 11:17:28 Lds selections. What works? So let's go back to the beginning. [Vision Forward] 11:17:34 Here. Black Alot. Oh, yeah, Shin forget what I typed for a minute. So I'm on the h here of Hello! [Vision Forward] 11:17:41 So hey, sharkey start selection. [Vision Forward] 11:17:45 Save document before marking place. Oh, that's interesting. Just save it first. Oh, yeah, I guess so, save as banter. All right. That's right. [Vision Forward] 11:17:54 Let's try it again. I didn't know that. [Vision Forward] 11:17:56 Never tried that before. Hey, Sharkey? Start selection. [Vision Forward] 11:18:01 Marking place, all right. So now I'm just going to use my end key and just move to the end of the line real quick blank period. There we go. [Vision Forward] 11:18:08 Now I'm at the end blank. Hey, Sharkey! [Vision Forward] 11:18:12 Hey, Sharkey, finished Selection. [Vision Forward] 11:18:18 Selecting between. Right now, how do I know, though, for sure, that it works? [Vision Forward] 11:18:26 Very good question. Hey? Sharkey? Reed selection. [Vision Forward] 11:18:29 Hello! This is a test to see how selection works. [Vision Forward] 11:18:33 There you go so real quick way to kind of select a big group of texts and then also double check that what you selected actually happen. Do you think that's any easier than using the keyboard to do those things? [Vision Forward] 11:18:47 Yes, if you can't remember how to do it, you know, I mean some of these really. [Vision Forward] 11:18:54 What it comes down to is, if you use a feature, a lot, you're obviously going to know the keyboard command yeah, right? And you'll do it. [Vision Forward] 11:19:02 Now the battery, one to me as a given that it's just easier to do using Sharky, because both going down to the notification system tray or doing the insert shift. [Vision Forward] 11:19:14 B can just be a little more cumbersome, so I think it comes down to how often you use a feature. [Vision Forward] 11:19:20 And are you? Are you more likely to remember? Start selection and finish selection versus whatever the keyboard. [Vision Forward] 11:19:25 I feel like selecting text is one of those fundamental things that you should be able to do. [Vision Forward] 11:19:30 And you're probably doing regularly, you are. But how many people actually use that method versus selecting the whole line or selecting word by word all the way through? [Vision Forward] 11:19:40 You know what I'm saying. Yeah, I think this method is almost a little more advanced method in selection. [Vision Forward] 11:19:46 I never use it to be honest, only it's one of those where I just forget about it. [Vision Forward] 11:19:50 You sort of get. As you mentioned earlier, you get into those kind of ruts, and this is for me. [Vision Forward] 11:19:56 This is one of them where it is a lot easier to do. [Vision Forward] 11:19:58 But I just always forget it's there I find, using voice assistance generally a little bit weird. [Vision Forward] 11:20:03 I do, too. And there is this. It's they're still a little delay that annoys me. [Vision Forward] 11:20:08 But it's like better. It's the delay was worse back in the day, and I do want to mention as well that this v assistant does require Internet connection, because it is using Microsoft Cloud in order to process all these commands and stuff. [Vision Forward] 11:20:25 So if you don't have access to the Internet, your sharky buddy isn't going to work for you. [Vision Forward] 11:20:30 Okay, let's we did those thanks. Let's take a look here. [Vision Forward] 11:20:34 Now at. Let's go to a web page, and that'll feed us sort of into our next one, too. [Vision Forward] 11:20:42 Go to vision forward.org, enter home, page visions. I hear this is a very good website, Corey, one of the best around windows of it. Home. All right. [Vision Forward] 11:20:50 So do you. Do you train individuals to use a list links, list and headings list? [Vision Forward] 11:20:59 I do. I show them how to do it, but also I don't necessarily know how useful they are to a lot of people so yeah, I mean, really, the biggest benefit to them is the first letter navigation but it's again, it's one of those where when I was trained. [Vision Forward] 11:21:17 And got in the habit of using. I just never did them, so I always forget to do them, and then I know the keyboard commands, but I always forget with Instr. F-six, and then F. [Vision Forward] 11:21:26 7 I always get them mixed up. Use them often. I mean, the other thing is if you're going to use first letter navigation that implies that you know the name of the thing that you're looking at. [Vision Forward] 11:21:36 Also, then why not just use virtual find? You could accept? [Vision Forward] 11:21:38 Well, I guess from a yeah, I guess from a keyboard shortcut. [Vision Forward] 11:21:41 It depends on keyboard how many presses you know. Virtual fine is quick as well. [Vision Forward] 11:21:46 You're still going to type in one thing. Yeah. So it becomes, we should do a whole show on which, yeah? [Vision Forward] 11:21:53 So Sharkey will let us do, a voice command. We can say, Hey, Sharkey! [Vision Forward] 11:21:57 Hey, Sharkey, hey! Sharkey list Links! [Vision Forward] 11:22:04 Links, list dialog links list. There we go, so it brings it up as if we did the keyboard command I'll tap my skis key and we can do the same. [Vision Forward] 11:22:14 Hey! Sharkey! Hey! Sharkey list headings! [Vision Forward] 11:22:20 Heading, list we can also get our for you. That's quite useful, because if you forget the insert of 6, insert and sell on which one is which. [Vision Forward] 11:22:27 Yeah, I'm using just you shocking stuff exactly, I believe, instead of 7 is lists. [Vision Forward] 11:22:32 It's already links. I think you might be I think I'm right. Let's find. [Vision Forward] 11:22:36 But now I gotta find out links that nailed it all right. [Vision Forward] 11:22:41 So that's one thing you can do on the Internet with the with sharks like, let's see what else I did that blank list comments. [Vision Forward] 11:22:50 So that's honestly, I mean, you can list tables. [Vision Forward] 11:22:54 You can list, form fields and things like that, but you can't navigate by heading, but you don't. [Vision Forward] 11:23:01 I mean, honestly, you want to hit H. You don't want to say hey, Sharkey? [Vision Forward] 11:23:04 Next, heading. I don't think it works. Please go toward or outlook to use this. [Vision Forward] 11:23:11 Okay, yeah, it does work in in word and outlook. [Vision Forward] 11:23:17 You can navigate by heading. So if you open the links list or the headings list with Sharkey, you have to use the keyboard and that arrow down or hit the first letter that you want, hey? [Vision Forward] 11:23:25 We can do a virtual find with show. You cannot really. [Vision Forward] 11:23:28 I'm surprised, at least not in what I read. You couldn't. [Vision Forward] 11:23:32 I'm not saying, yeah. So it's pretty. It's a bit limiting here on the Internet again. [Vision Forward] 11:23:35 It's really any of these lists, any of these lists from form fields, headings, links, those cable lists, those all have shortcut keys, and any of those you can bring up. [Vision Forward] 11:23:48 If you want. Hey, Sharkey List Tables? [Vision Forward] 11:23:54 No tables. No, we should mention as well that you found a list of these shortcuts on the Freedom scientific structure. Yeah. And I'll show you really quickly. [Vision Forward] 11:24:03 That's a great question. I should have mentioned it. But let me do it right now. [Vision Forward] 11:24:06 And now actually, yeah, we'll show that real quick here. [Vision Forward] 11:24:09 So if I go back into my jaws, menu here and we go back to utilities again. [Vision Forward] 11:24:15 Utilities, Joy's 10, and down to voice, voice, assist! [Vision Forward] 11:24:18 There we go expand, and we went to settings. Last time settings to go. One more getting started. [Vision Forward] 11:24:25 That's gonna take us right into the training material. And in there you're gonna navigate by headaching, and you'll find a heading it breaks it down by general reading word, Internet outlook. [Vision Forward] 11:24:38 And you can take a look at all of those different. That's for one thing, I think with a tool like this, like a lot of the a lot of the kind of usage is just going to be figuring out where it's more efficient to use sharkey, so you're not necessarily going to use [Vision Forward] 11:24:53 every single sharky command. It's going to be a few that help you with whatever you do on a daily basis. [Vision Forward] 11:24:58 We'll give one more quick example here in the word page, vision. [Vision Forward] 11:25:00 Hello, Doc! Doc's word. Okay, so let's do this document here. [Vision Forward] 11:25:05 And what I want to do here real, quick period work selection works. [Vision Forward] 11:25:08 Oh, okay, sk, Ok, so now, I just made a misspelling here. You know, the weird thing. [Vision Forward] 11:25:15 Word hasn't flagged it as a test to see how selection works is. [Vision Forward] 11:25:23 I guess that's a word and there's a capital S excess. It doesn't work. [Vision Forward] 11:25:30 Capital X maybe they're just a way. Okay, okay, let's do pause Z, at the end. [Vision Forward] 11:25:36 That's gonna be a right blank. So it's still no flag. [Vision Forward] 11:25:41 It just try it, though. I don't think it's going to work. [Vision Forward] 11:25:43 But let's try it here. So one of the features we can do is spelling error. [Vision Forward] 11:25:51 There we go. We actually can do one of 2 things. First, we can't spelling errors, and it'll put all theirs in a list for us, or we can say next, spelling error. [Vision Forward] 11:26:01 So if I say, Hey, Sharkey! Next spelling year. [Vision Forward] 11:26:06 The option to check spelling as you type is disabled. [Vision Forward] 11:26:09 Oh, well, that's weird. I didn't I thought that would do that, but that must be. [Vision Forward] 11:26:14 Why, it's not flagging, maybe, anyways, what it will do if you have that feature, turned on which it is by default, it'll just take you to the next misspelled word. [Vision Forward] 11:26:25 Tap your applications, key down, arrow through your spelling options. [Vision Forward] 11:26:29 Hit. Enter on the word you want, and now you've done your spelling. [Vision Forward] 11:26:33 So some people don't like the new revamped spelling and grammar checker in office. [Vision Forward] 11:26:44 So this might be one way of doing it. You can also say next, grammar mistake in in office. So this might be one way of doing it. You can also say next grammar mistake as well. So you can do just more than just spelling can do grammar I think that's a handy feature. [Vision Forward] 11:26:55 The other feature I like, too, is comments. I work with some college-aged students where they all get assignments back with comments. Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:27:04 And jaws does a good job on it, but there is a command for next comment. [Vision Forward] 11:27:09 Previous comment. So you can just move right through the document, and there's keyboard commands as well yeah, which obviously, all of these things have keyboard commands. [Vision Forward] 11:27:16 All all the voice assistant is doing. Is just tying the words, the phrase you're saying to the keyboard command, if I wonder if I wonder if there is a future where all of this is just done by voice or just thinking can I think the battery? [Vision Forward] 11:27:31 And then it does it. How long it produces Jonathan, how to comment? Yeah, we do it. [Vision Forward] 11:27:40 Which, by the way, if people watch our apple vision pro video, which will be released today or tomorrow. [Vision Forward] 11:27:45 But I think today, by Jonathan, hopefully, today, hopefully, today, at 60'clock but possibly tomorrow at 60'clock. If you watch the apple vision pro video, then you will find out about the eye tracking inside the vision project and what the alternatives for people like me who cannot use my eyes to look [Vision Forward] 11:27:58 at stuff, yeah, it's 40 min long. By the way, so make sure you but we look at the new headset from an accessibility standpoint. So it's pretty cool. [Vision Forward] 11:28:08 Make sure you get your popcorn and coffee or alcoholic beverage. [Vision Forward] 11:28:12 If that is your preference. Alright. So that is Sharkey. [Vision Forward] 11:28:15 That's the voice assistant. There's a more when you look at the voice commands. [Vision Forward] 11:28:19 You're gonna see it a lot does a lot more. [Vision Forward] 11:28:21 I just wanted to highlight some of the most used ones are the ones I think would be most commonly used. [Vision Forward] 11:28:26 But I want to move on. Yes, for those with Zoomtox. [Vision Forward] 11:28:30 You do have Zoomie similar things. So Corey mentioned it before. [Vision Forward] 11:28:32 But yeah, yeah, you can say, Zoomie, or Hey, Zoomie? [Vision Forward] 11:28:35 Increased, magnific. Decrease me, you know those kind of things which I think I mean again, there are keyboard shortcuts for those those probably get used more often. [Vision Forward] 11:28:42 But then again, yeah, so alright. Are you ready to move on? [Vision Forward] 11:28:46 Oh, just one more thing sorry. I just thought, for those who are using screen magnification. [Vision Forward] 11:28:50 They might not know the keyboard as well as somebody using a screen. [Vision Forward] 11:28:54 Reader, show. So maybe for those people the the voice commands are actually more relevant. [Vision Forward] 11:29:00 That might be true. Yeah, I'm on board with you, all right. Next thing, we're going to take a look at is our buddy yeah, flexible web, I find the vision buddy. [Vision Forward] 11:29:12 You don't know anything about flexible web. I think it's where you send your computer to Yoga camp. [Vision Forward] 11:29:18 Is that right? Anyone in that, either in the Zoom chat or you Tube, throw it in there. [Vision Forward] 11:29:25 If you're familiar with flexible web, and if you land it, give me an example of how you use it. [Vision Forward] 11:29:30 Please? Is it where you can get rid of certain elements sort of yes, there's 2 main things. [Vision Forward] 11:29:37 Are are you ready? We're going to use vision forwards. [Vision Forward] 11:29:42 Website here, as an example, we use regions on our website. [Vision Forward] 11:29:48 We've got 3. We got 3 main regions that we kind of work with here. [Vision Forward] 11:29:52 First region is, takes us to the banner at the top of our website, and I think our banner has the shopping cart. [Vision Forward] 11:30:00 And let's take a look here. So I'm going to do an R to move by region list of 3 items. [Vision Forward] 11:30:04 So we have open search, form, search button. We can open up our search link card contents. Our C. [Vision Forward] 11:30:09 0, Lincoln Centre, font, size and change in. [Vision Forward] 11:30:12 So that's what's in the banner. There. [Vision Forward] 11:30:14 So let's say that I never want to deal with that don't ever need it. [Vision Forward] 11:30:20 Don't ever, want to work with that banner. It's just in the way I want to hide it so that jaws doesn't see it. [Vision Forward] 11:30:28 So we're gonna use flexible web to do that. [Vision Forward] 11:30:31 So we're gonna use flexible web to do that. [Vision Forward] 11:30:31 So first, we're going to use our key to move back to that so first, we're going to use our key to move back to that region list of 3 items. [Vision Forward] 11:30:35 And now we're going to do the Layer command. [Vision Forward] 11:30:39 Insert space and [Vision Forward] 11:31:02 Moment, and so I'm going to go over to Ok. [Vision Forward] 11:31:07 Enable flexible web checkbox chat. We want to make sure that that's checked, and it is by default, and we'll do our next enter. [Vision Forward] 11:31:12 How would you like to customize the page, hide an element radio button checked one of 2. [Vision Forward] 11:31:18 So now it's asking me how I want to change it. Here. [Vision Forward] 11:31:21 So we have start hiding element. High didn't know what saying hide, but it's almost saying, Hey, I can't tell. [Vision Forward] 11:31:26 It's pronouncing it where hide an element, or start reading at an element, start reading. [Vision Forward] 11:31:32 Now we're going to do that one next so let's just do hide first. [Vision Forward] 11:31:36 Hide an element. Good! We'll tab over back button next button all right. [Vision Forward] 11:31:40 Enter which of the following elements would you like to customize list, box list one of 4. [Vision Forward] 11:31:45 Now remember when we moved to that banner. It was also a lists. Right? Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:31:52 So there is a number of 4. Now remember, when we moved to that banner, it was also a list. Right? Yeah. So there is a number of different elements. [Vision Forward] 11:31:56 It's seeing there. So now it's asking us by which element or which element do we want to hide? Now? [Vision Forward] 11:32:00 I don't want to do the list I don't want that which is a little bit more. [Vision Forward] 11:32:06 HTML stuff, but go down Banner region. That's what I want. I want to get rid of that whole region as a whole. So I'm going to go over and choose next next button. [Vision Forward] 11:32:17 Enter select a customization list, box, hide, banner, region, one, and I want to hide it. [Vision Forward] 11:32:20 That's what that's the first options. I'll keep that back. [Vision Forward] 11:32:23 Button finished final finish. All right. It's now been created. Hey? [Vision Forward] 11:32:27 If I go back up to the top of the page, and I do are Maine region. It got right. [Vision Forward] 11:32:33 It's skipped right over, actually that skip over 200 regions main region. There we go. [Vision Forward] 11:32:39 It skipped over that banner region, and it's no longer there. Cly, I have questions. [Vision Forward] 11:32:43 Yes, I have many questions, but before I ask my questions, Sean has a question what were the keystrokes we used to get to the list of sharky commandants? Very good. [Vision Forward] 11:32:53 What you can do is go into your jaws, menu, so that's a little tougher, because it depends. [Vision Forward] 11:32:59 If you run jaws from your system, tray or not, do you run jaws from your system? [Vision Forward] 11:33:04 Tray. Then you're just going to either. Do an insert J, or go to the desktop and hit. [Vision Forward] 11:33:09 Enter on jaws that brings up the jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:33:11 Context, menu go to utilities, then the voice assistant and then down arrow to get started if you don't run jaws in your system train, it's just in your task. [Vision Forward] 11:33:20 Bar alt tab till you get to the jaws window. [Vision Forward] 11:33:24 Go ahead and do your alt, you to bring up the utilities menu down narrow to voice, assistant, expand it down, arrow to get started, Sean. [Vision Forward] 11:33:34 Oh, actually, it was a show! Nice sorry. I just saw the full name. [Vision Forward] 11:33:37 Let's us know if that gave you what you needed, and so for my question, please question number one. [Vision Forward] 11:33:44 Yes, now that we have hidden that region. Yes, does jaws remember, if we close the browser and go back, will that region still be no right now? [Vision Forward] 11:33:53 It's temporary. Ok? So one thing that I'll notice is if I alt f 4 out of the browser. [Vision Forward] 11:33:58 Yeah, it will prompt me to ask me if I want to save it, or if I do my insert actors insert space. [Vision Forward] 11:34:06 Space, X. Flexible web. Dialog. What would you like to do? [Vision Forward] 11:34:09 Create a new customer. Z. Now I can do we try high banner region one from the top with id equals masked head or undue high banner region, one from the top, with save temporary customizations as a rule, radio button Shack. [Vision Forward] 11:34:22 I can now save it as a permanent rule. If I do that now, this is pretty cool. [Vision Forward] 11:34:26 I want to show you this enable flexible web. [Vision Forward] 11:34:29 Next button. Enter the Roomame edit type in 10. [Vision Forward] 11:34:33 We'll just call us R. It doesn't really matter we're just going to name it. [Vision Forward] 11:34:37 List view. How would you like that? List? View, hide, banner, reach how would you like this rule to apply combo box to the current side? [Vision Forward] 11:34:45 So this is to the current site. So that would be this. [Vision Forward] 11:34:51 This this region, I believe, As on every page that would apply to every page, so that would apply it to every. [Vision Forward] 11:34:58 So when it says current site, it really means current domain. So yes, any. [Vision Forward] 11:34:59 Any page on this site or if I down arrow to the current page just to the current page, I mocked. [Vision Forward] 11:35:05 So we'll look at the back button. Finish my favorite now. [Vision Forward] 11:35:11 It's permanently there. So now, if I leave Chrome and come back in, it'll be there. [Vision Forward] 11:35:15 But let me just show you this for a second kind of cool windows. M. [Vision Forward] 11:35:18 Desk. If we go to Microsoft, Edg, let's go to the opening new window address. [Vision Forward] 11:35:24 Insert. And let's go to vision. Borg entered our web page homepage homepage, and I do. [Vision Forward] 11:35:33 Our main region. Amazing? Yes, so cool. It's actually I was shocked when I so it works. [Vision Forward] 11:35:39 It's not so. It's not saved to the browser itself. [Vision Forward] 11:35:44 It's saved to jaw so that it goes across any browser that you're using. [Vision Forward] 11:35:48 It's pretty clever. So that is desktop. Incredible! [Vision Forward] 11:35:51 HP, I didn't actually expect that. No, my only concern with this is, it is pretty advanced, because not necessarily in terms of the key commands, but as you arerowing through the lists, making choices, some of that stuff I could see does get a little bit and I think that's where you [Vision Forward] 11:36:09 know with a trainer you can kind of get from a little bit familiar, more familiar with which ones you should choose. [Vision Forward] 11:36:14 You know some other great examples would be sometimes when you go to a website where you read an article, you'll use your H key, and you will hear the heading of the article, which is great. [Vision Forward] 11:36:26 But then, when you down arrow, you hear share on Facebook, hide all that. [Vision Forward] 11:36:31 So now, next time you go there to any article, usually they all carry the same kind of layout when you do your Hq. [Vision Forward] 11:36:37 And down Arrow, you'll all that will be hin, and you'll get right to your article. [Vision Forward] 11:36:41 That my only other concern is with placemakers, which is another cool jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:36:47 Feature I have had the experience more than once where the place markers disappear, and they are not temporary place markers. [Vision Forward] 11:36:54 They have been saved, but they disappear or, for example, if the web site changes as well that not can also call it. Can you just got to make sure, like when you create place markers. [Vision Forward] 11:37:05 One of the options is in. There is, you know, anchor to text. [Vision Forward] 11:37:10 Yes, and so you always want to use that. But yes, it's not a perfect size. [Vision Forward] 11:37:14 Well, I kind of wonder whether there might be similar issues with this potentially yeah, I don't know. [Vision Forward] 11:37:21 So in this case we hit an entire region. But you can hide just a single element. [Vision Forward] 11:37:25 So just a single link, a single button, whatever you want to do. And then, at any point. [Vision Forward] 11:37:28 Now I saved that, but if I do insert space X. [Vision Forward] 11:37:34 And I find view or change where roles apply radio button check, create a new view, create a new customer's April. Okay? [Vision Forward] 11:37:42 So what's enable flexible finish space if you were okay. So what's the enable flexible space view or change with? [Vision Forward] 11:37:51 And now it's crime, star vision, 0, global opened. What? One currency vision forward.org closed open. Let's open, Jan. [Vision Forward] 11:37:58 Current page, vision forward.org slash! Anyways, I don't want to go through all this, so you can go in and delete that customization at any point as well. [Vision Forward] 11:38:05 So if you set one, and then you're like, Oh, never mind, no, I need it back. You can do it now. [Vision Forward] 11:38:09 Let me do the other side of flexible web. So let's give an example here, where potentially, when you come, I'm trying to think of a good well, I'll just use ours here. [Vision Forward] 11:38:22 Let's use an example here when you come to our web page. [Vision Forward] 11:38:28 If you can't see some living with a vision I'm gonna just move by headings shot for adaptive vision products visited heading level 3 right now, let's pretend, for example, you go to a website and there's a heading that says trending stories. [Vision Forward] 11:38:40 Or or or today's news that heading is always there right? [Vision Forward] 11:38:44 But let's say, when you load that page with jaws, you always just want to start right from that headache right from that link, or whatever it might be. [Vision Forward] 11:38:54 So what you do is first move to it like I just did. [Vision Forward] 11:38:56 Here heading level 3 link shop. So I'm on the shop for adaptive tools. [Vision Forward] 11:39:00 If I do insert space. Space X. Flexible web dialogue, what would you like to do? [Vision Forward] 11:39:06 Creative. And we want to create a new one. Enter, how would you like to customize the page hide an element this time? [Vision Forward] 11:39:12 I don't want to hide. Instead, I'll down Arrow start reading it, and we'll do start reading back. [Vision Forward] 11:39:18 Butt next button enter which of the following elements would you like to customize list box heading level? [Vision Forward] 11:39:24 Shop for adaptive and that's what we want back butt next. [Vision Forward] 11:39:28 Button, enter, select a customization list box, start a heading level 3, one from the top. [Vision Forward] 11:39:32 With text, and we'll leave this at its default. [Vision Forward] 11:39:35 Here, back, button finished Button. Now, if I refresh this page F. [Vision Forward] 11:39:41 5, 3 regions. That reminds me of the jokes in 20. [Vision Forward] 11:39:46 -five. There's 4 smart lunch highlights visited heading level, 3 link shop and it immediately took us right to that headache. [Vision Forward] 11:39:54 So this is really powerful. If you really think from not only a personal, if they're sites, you go to all the time where you always think from not only a personal. [Vision Forward] 11:40:06 If there are sites you go to all the time where you always have sites, you go to all the time where you always sites all the time we use Emr system electronic medical records all the time, and if I could set it up so that flexible web where I can say no every time you load this page I want you [Vision Forward] 11:40:18 to go to this exact link or this heading, how much it can really save time, you know, getting places quicker. [Vision Forward] 11:40:27 This is a really awesome feature. Yeah, yeah, this to me, I think flexible web. [Vision Forward] 11:40:32 All of the ones we are going to look at today. To me this is the one that has the the biggest impact. [Vision Forward] 11:40:37 Does have a little bit more learning curve. Kind of behind it, and might be one of these where? [Vision Forward] 11:40:45 Where? Where, as a trainer, maybe, you help an individual set a month but once you start to get the groove and start to utilize them, you really can get rid of so much of that cruff and junk in a website, that you just don't need I think some of the only confusing part [Vision Forward] 11:40:57 is really some of those. HTML options that you have, because when you're listening to those, I just feel like if you don't understand. [Vision Forward] 11:41:05 HTML, then that's going to be the good news is you don't need a dose of them. [Vision Forward] 11:41:09 You don't know but you're right. Just learning to disregard exactly. [Vision Forward] 11:41:12 Yeah, wonderful. I can imagine implementing for some of this stuff like you could be a parent. [Vision Forward] 11:41:19 And your kid wants to access a website. But there's certain things on that website. [Vision Forward] 11:41:22 You don't want them to have access to. Yeah. So then you could obviously hide those elements so they don't have access to that. [Vision Forward] 11:41:28 And also for users who maybe aren't so proficient with their screen reader, as a trainer you could simplify websites that they want to use to make it easier than to navigate. [Vision Forward] 11:41:39 And then you could then start to unhigh as I get more and more, and you introduce more and more. [Vision Forward] 11:41:44 So you're still using the same page versus going to new pages that are more complex. [Vision Forward] 11:41:48 You still use the same page right now you're showing the relationship of okay. [Vision Forward] 11:41:53 Now, I'm unhiding this and this is how you interact. [Vision Forward] 11:41:55 So yeah. Very quick question. So if we hide the region which we did at the start here I assume that that region won't appear no matter how we're navigating. [Vision Forward] 11:42:03 So if we're navigating by, we don't want using the. [Vision Forward] 11:42:07 I don't believe so. Let's just try from the top real quick by down arrow. [Vision Forward] 11:42:10 Same page, length, main region. Directly. I just judge right to try and spare over that. Yeah, be excellent. [Vision Forward] 11:42:15 You got it. That's really cool. Yeah. Good job, freedom, scientific. [Vision Forward] 11:42:19 Ready to go all right. So we've got really one last one here to take a look at that's smart glance, smart glances. [Vision Forward] 11:42:29 This was a more recent addition. You might notice it when you've loaded up a new page in web pages, that when it reads the kind of summary. [Vision Forward] 11:42:40 So let's see, actually, does it read the summary here? [Vision Forward] 11:42:41 Do we have smart glance? That's fine. Let's find a home page. [Vision Forward] 11:42:47 Vision Forwardword, 3 regions, 14 headings in 21 links for smart Lens. [Vision Forward] 11:42:55 So basically, what smart glances are is that jaws looks at a web page, and it looks at the font attributes of the page. [Vision Forward] 11:43:03 It looks at different font emphases or styles, or colors, and then it sees how often it's used, and the more unique, so the less often it's used, the higher ranking it gets and the reason for this is what they're assuming is that the developer of a website [Vision Forward] 11:43:24 has taken a piece of text and used maybe a background color or a bold font, to draw your eye to that piece of content on the web page. [Vision Forward] 11:43:36 Yet it's not a heading for you to just use your Ht. [Vision Forward] 11:43:40 To get to, and so what they've done then is that that it, as it sees these, and you know, realizes, okay, this is only used a couple times. [Vision Forward] 11:43:51 Then it creates kind of what they call consider a smart glance for you to quickly glance or move around that page to see something when you and I talked about this Corey, I suggested. [Vision Forward] 11:44:03 Maybe this is this is at its best for websites that haven't been designed very well, because you would assume if the eye is being visually directed towards something on the page, it should really be a heading, because it's in a piece of information. [Vision Forward] 11:44:20 I agree. So I want to use it on ours here, because I don't know what it's considering and I want you to sort of tell me the key that we use is Y, the letter Y is what moves us through smart glances. [Vision Forward] 11:44:34 So if I do, y meet Jayie and learn more about her journey with vision loss. [Vision Forward] 11:44:38 That was not a heading. No, but is it bold or different colour? [Vision Forward] 11:44:44 It's definitely bold, and I'm not sure whether it's a different font. [Vision Forward] 11:44:48 But it's definitely bold. Why, again, first name started. [Vision Forward] 11:44:51 It required. So now it's moved to this form here, and so I don't know if the first name is maybe because of the star. [Vision Forward] 11:44:57 I'm not sure why it considers this to be. [Vision Forward] 11:45:00 I can't really tell last name starting. Obviously, the other one is a stop email star. [Vision Forward] 11:45:08 And it requires that's 3. So there's one more no tapes. If I did, if I hit the right key, that would be helpful. [Vision Forward] 11:45:12 First name start last name, email, stop wrapping to top. [Vision Forward] 11:45:15 That was all of them. That's right. So that's what's smart glances are, at least on our webpage. [Vision Forward] 11:45:23 Let me get show you a freedom. Scientific. The example they give. [Vision Forward] 11:45:27 We go to their website. [Vision Forward] 11:45:30 Calm, enter blank. [Vision Forward] 11:45:33 Downloads. Sure. Oh, I didn't go to their home. [Vision Forward] 11:45:36 Yeah, visited. Link Graphic. Enter home, page. Here we go. [Vision Forward] 11:45:40 So there's let's see what they have here. [Vision Forward] 11:45:42 First of all, let's find out if they have any, so I'll just do a quick refresh freedom, scientific high-quality, video magnifiers, braille displays screen magnification software. [Vision Forward] 11:45:53 And number one screen. Reader, choice, freedom, scientific high quality, video. [Vision Forward] 11:45:58 Oh, that's the longest title at any website has ever had. They should know about it. [Vision Forward] 11:46:03 Oh, yeah, they should. Ok, there are glances. We're going to cut the middle man. [Vision Forward] 11:46:08 Just tell you that there are glances. We're going to cut the middle man. Just tell you that there are. So I'm going to hit y and find out what so there they have one called. [Vision Forward] 11:46:12 Yeah, that's called today. And if then, if I down Arrow Link 1, 804, I get their phone number. [Vision Forward] 11:46:21 Yeah, so that cold today is visually is a different color. [Vision Forward] 11:46:22 But it's not a heading no, no, not a heading. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:46:25 So that's basically smart glances where jaws will just look at the webpage. [Vision Forward] 11:46:31 Determine if text is emphasized in some way, and if it is, then it brings it in as a smart glance. [Vision Forward] 11:46:39 So that you can kind of skim through and just get an idea of potentially some important pieces of the website. [Vision Forward] 11:46:47 That again. Maybe. Aren't navigated by heading or somewhere else to get some other methods. [Vision Forward] 11:46:55 I do wonder how useful that is, you know, whenever I say a thing is not useful, and it's never used. So many people. [Vision Forward] 11:47:01 Yeah, so I would love other people's opinions. How are you using smart glances? [Vision Forward] 11:47:07 I don't see it as super and intuitive. [Vision Forward] 11:47:13 Not that it's not intuitive. I don't see it super useful. [Vision Forward] 11:47:14 Yeah, what are you gonna find? That's not consistency. [Vision Forward] 11:47:17 There isn't the only upside to it is, is it? [Vision Forward] 11:47:21 Is a quick way to to, you know a sighted person would bring up this freedom. [Vision Forward] 11:47:26 Scientific webpage, and your eyes would be drawn to that. Call me right. [Vision Forward] 11:47:29 Yes, because it's there. So now I can do the same thing, and I can use a keyboard command to see what the developers wanted. [Vision Forward] 11:47:39 People's eyes drawn to. So it does give me more information. [Vision Forward] 11:47:44 It gives me more ways to navigate, to maybe potentially find important information. [Vision Forward] 11:47:49 And obviously smart glances is new. So there's been many other ways that we could have found this stuff as well in the past. [Vision Forward] 11:47:55 I would have come here done a virtual fine type. Call, enter, call today, and got right there, too. [Vision Forward] 11:48:03 So again it, but it was one key press versus 5 key Presses. [Vision Forward] 11:48:08 So yeah, that's fair. I think, yeah, it's one of those things it's easy enough to do. [Vision Forward] 11:48:13 So if you're on a website, you can just press your Mickey a few times. See what's there. [Vision Forward] 11:48:17 See if there's anything interesting. I think it's underutilized, and probably a lot of trainers potentially don't do this is, I think, when a when a new website is loaded up, I think taking that moment to use the Y key and the R key to move by regions can give you [Vision Forward] 11:48:36 a really quick idea of what how this page is laid out and what's potentially important, and what's not. Yeah. [Vision Forward] 11:48:44 You know, the Y is obviously going to give you these smart glances. [Vision Forward] 11:48:46 The R is going to move through the regions quickly, and you're going to find main navigation main, construct footer, and it just gives you an idea of what sort of on this page are not not so much what's on the page. [Vision Forward] 11:48:57 But how it's laid out and grouped together. You can start to build that visual map, and it's quick, and then from there use your Ht. [Vision Forward] 11:49:06 Or however else you choose to kind of navigate. So these features are available in jaws 2023. [Vision Forward] 11:49:15 Yeah, I don't remember. Let's do it right now. [Vision Forward] 11:49:18 So flexible. Web has been out forever you're stuck in a dialogue box. [Vision Forward] 11:49:24 At the same time no button enter freedoms control. Let's do Josh Smart, the one that's his turn the back come out. [Vision Forward] 11:49:35 The linked search was, what's new in videos? What's new in jaws? [Vision Forward] 11:49:38 2,023, okay, 3, so 2023, for smart glances. [Vision Forward] 11:49:43 Voice assistant who's 2021 flexible web, I think, was even before that. [Vision Forward] 11:49:47 It's been around for a bit. So yeah, so most of these are going to be if you're up to date, then you're obviously good to go. [Vision Forward] 11:49:56 But even if you've got an older one, you might be Ok. [Vision Forward] 11:49:58 Depending on how old your version is, and for those of you who are not up to date, don't forget that freedom scientific do have a subscription plan, and for those of you who are not up to date. Don't forget that freedom scientific do have a subscription. Plan. [Vision Forward] 11:50:09 Now where you can pay $90, convention sales and stuff. [Vision Forward] 11:50:13 Yes, I saw an old post on blind bgains from 2015, where they were selling jaws, licenses for $75, and magic licenses for $50. [Vision Forward] 11:50:24 Can you believe that? I think, when that was, I think, right when they started doing the subscription type? [Vision Forward] 11:50:28 It was a yeah. That must have been the deal of the century. [Vision Forward] 11:50:31 Anybody there was a conventions, anybody who was there. Let us know what you've got. [Vision Forward] 11:50:38 Apparently they had offers of Braille displays as well, but I doubt they were $50 that's not going to be cool, though. [Vision Forward] 11:50:44 So yes, so that was an overview of some of what I think are some can be useful jaws. [Vision Forward] 11:50:52 Features, yet are probably overlooked in most cases. So again, for on Youtube throw in the comments how you might use some of these, or, if you do, zoom, if you're connected, live, throw it in the throw it in the chat real quick. [Vision Forward] 11:51:06 If you've got any other questions, or I'd be curious if you know, maybe, how you use them as well. [Vision Forward] 11:51:11 Yes, me, too. And I definitely learned a lot today. Corey. [Vision Forward] 11:51:15 Thank you. I did. That's good. That's really the purpose of this. [Vision Forward] 11:51:18 It's just a trailing. Well, when we sat down, we're like, why should we do this? [Vision Forward] 11:51:23 And then you're like, I don't know anything and I said, All right, let's do a live session teaching you disclaimer. [Vision Forward] 11:51:28 That is not what they are. They could have done them so. [Vision Forward] 11:51:32 Yes, that is the end of our session for today, and we are going to like, say, we are going to have a conversation about our future format, and I expect that we will communicate. [Vision Forward] 11:51:42 Don't be afraid. We're not going. We're not going to disappear, not going any. We're just gonna we're gonna make it better. [Vision Forward] 11:51:48 That's really what it is. We want to give the people what they want. They. [Vision Forward] 11:51:52 Yeah, I want 24, 7, streaming like a news channel. [Vision Forward] 11:51:57 So yeah, we'll probably send out the survey again as Corey said, and if you haven't responded to it, then any thoughts would be appreciated. [Vision Forward] 11:52:03 It doesn't take too long to fill out. So we just want to get an idea of what people are looking for with these sessions. [Vision Forward] 11:52:08 So hopefully. Today it was helpful. And in 2 weeks time I'm afraid our schedule has gone a little bit off the tracks. [Vision Forward] 11:52:14 Here. So I'm not 100% sure what we're going to be doing. [Vision Forward] 11:52:18 Yeah, I mean, we at some point this summer. We're coming back to my house again. [Vision Forward] 11:52:21 We got a new basketball hoop. I'm going to show Hug where it's accessible. [Vision Forward] 11:52:25 But I don't know. Yeah, we have kind of jumped around a little bit. [Vision Forward] 11:52:30 So again, quick reminder, head over to our tech, connect website, tech, connect that vision, dash forward.org, create a free account. [Vision Forward] 11:52:40 You have access to all of these sessions, archived, and you can see what's coming up. [Vision Forward] 11:52:46 We'll be posting our next session that should go up tomorrow, so you'll see what's coming up, and you can just kind of keep updated with everything we're doing and all of our past stuff, both through 2023 and all of last year, 2022 they're all up there [Vision Forward] 11:53:04 as well. And we do have a Youtube also, it is Youtube com, forward, vision forward, tech, connect. [Vision Forward] 11:53:11 And that is where you will be able to see our latest video on the Apple vision pro when it releases today or tomorrow. [Vision Forward] 11:53:18 And you can also see that on the Lms. As well. [Vision Forward] 11:53:21 That's true. So you can see that in either of those 2 places. [Vision Forward] 11:53:23 But if you happen to check out that video, we definitely would appreciate any likes and comments, because those always help with the algorithm and the apple vision pro for those who are not aware of it is a pretty cool piece of tech, and we speculate on whether it might be good from a low vision. [Vision Forward] 11:53:37 Wearable perspective, so there is no clear sign from Apple as to whether they might have any features that were turn it into a low vision, wearable. [Vision Forward] 11:53:46 But it's fun to speculate. Nonetheless, it is yes, so make sure you keep attuned to that channel for that video. [Vision Forward] 11:53:52 Diane says I missed the jokes. Very sorry, Diana. [Vision Forward] 11:53:55 I miss the jokes as well, but I think we still will do a joke. [Vision Forward] 11:53:58 We're just not going to take 20 min to get into the. [Vision Forward] 11:54:03 But the audience didn't seem to like it as much. [Vision Forward] 11:54:08 So we are trying to tailor these to make as many people happy as possible. [Vision Forward] 11:54:12 So then fill out the survey, and let us know that you really want our long intro with multiple jokes, and we'll see how we'll see how we get on. [Vision Forward] 11:54:20 Once we've tallied all the results of those surveys. [Vision Forward] 11:54:22 But for the moment goodbye. We will look forward to seeing you in 2 weeks, and I hope you have a great couple of weeks bye, for now see ya! [Vision Forward] 11:54:35 And so.

Welcome to podcast episode 65 published on August 27, titled “Great Renewable Energy and EV Stocks.”  Presented by Investing for the Soul, investingforthesoul.com is your site for vital global ethical and sustainable investing news, commentary, information, and resources. Remember that you can find a full transcript, links to content – including stock symbols, quotes, and bonus material – at this episode's podcast page.

Also, I receive no compensation from anyone or entity covered in these podcasts. Incidentally, if any terms are unfamiliar to you, simply Google them. ------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Great Renewable Energy and EV Stocks I'm beginning with something a little different. The article is titled The investment opportunity offered by electric vehicles by Juliet Schooling-Latter. It's a UK perspective that appeared on whatinvestment.co.uk. Here are some quotes from the article and comments on the companies covered. Quote. “Very much a global trend, a recent report indicated the number of EVs will grow from 11m on the road now to 145m in 2030.1 This, in turn, will boost various segments of the market. Here are four stocks… from Elite-rated fund managers looking to tap into this drive. 1) Sumitomo Metal Mining. Stock pick at Baillie Gifford Japan Trust Sumitomo Metal Mining is a top-10 holding in the Baillie Gifford Japan Trust. Manager Andy Brown says the firm has exposure to nickel and copper extraction, both integral to the EV industry in terms of the cars themselves and the batteries used to power them. He says: ‘They have a materials business, and this is where they make a component called lithium nickel oxide. This feeds into the cathodes of electric batteries and major customers for this business are Tesla and Toyota. We believe it has fantastic growth prospects.' 2) Wuxi Lead Intelligent Equipment. Stock pick at Ninety One Global Environment Wuxi Lead Intelligent Equipment predominantly designs, manufactures and sells battery production equipment and services to leading EV battery manufacturers in China. The firm is a holding in the Ninety One Global Environmental Fund. Manager Deirdre Cooper says: ‘Sustainable decarbonisation will require a rapid transition towards a greener, lower-carbon transport system. Wuxi is directly exposed to one of the largest EV markets in the world and, as such, is at the forefront of decarbonisation. ‘It is also expanding sales internationally, with new customers such as Northvolt.' 3) Aptiv plc. Stock pick at Rathbone Global Sustainability fund Did you know there are more than 8,000 connection points inside a typical EV? If any go wrong it can range from a minor to major inconvenience. Aptiv provides fuse connectors that ensure the battery will disconnect if a spike in current reaches a potentially dangerous level, thus eliminating a potentially catastrophic event.2 The firm is a holding in the Rathbone Global Sustainability Fund. Manager David Harrison says: ‘We've held Aptiv in the fund since we launched. It is kind of the nerve centre of an electric vehicle. ‘We think it's well-placed for the long run and has a management team that is very forward-thinking.' 4) Infineon. Stock pick at Liontrust Sustainable Future Global Growth fund This German manufacturer is playing a key role in providing the chips for auto safety systems as semiconductor content in cars and other forms of transport continues to grow. Liontrust Sustainable Future Global Growth manager Peter Michaelis says: ‘Infineon is the market leader in the chips that power the semiconductors within electric vehicles. ‘The company completed its acquisition of Cypress Semiconductor Corporation in April 2020, which it said is a landmark step in its strategic development towards offering ‘the industry's most comprehensive portfolio for linking the real with the digital world and shaping digitalisation'.'' End quotes. 1Source: Clean Technica – report from International Energy Agency 2Source: aptiv.com ------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Great Renewable Energy and EV Stocks Now turning our attention back to alternative energy stocks is this article titled 3 Alternative Energy Stocks to Buy Amid Investment Concerns by Aparajita Dutta. Found on Yahoo! Finance. Quote. “Wind energy, the largest source of renewable electricity generation in the United States, continues to make noticeable progress. The amount of new wind capacity installed in 2020 was more than three times the amount installed in 2010. This makes us optimistic on alternative energy stocks' growth prospects. Also, increasing scope of the electric vehicle market is expected to boost the prospects of U.S. renewable stocks. However, the United States is lagging its Asian and European counterparts in terms of investments in hydrogen market, despite this market's ample growth opportunities. The forerunners in the U.S. alternative energy industry are TotalEnergies SE (TTE), Equinor ASA (EQNR) and Chesapeake Energy (CHK).” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Great Renewable Energy and EV Stocks In a similar vein is this article by three analysts who appear regularly in this podcast. The article is titled 3 High-Yield Renewable Energy Stocks to Buy Right Now and is by Travis Hoium, Howard Smith, and Daniel Foelber Here are some quotes from the article. Each analyst comments on the company they're recommending. “The theme with all of these companies is that they're big, diverse renewable energy asset owners with long-term contracts to sell electricity to utilities or other end customers and that fuels their dividends. As long as the renewable energy industry continues to grow and there are assets to buy at attractive yields, these are great dividend stocks to buy and hold… they're our best high-yield renewable energy stocks today… 1) Travis Hoium recommends Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) The best long-term business in renewable energy has proven to be asset ownership. Renewable energy projects usually come with 10-25 year contracts to sell electricity to utilities, businesses, or homeowners. That allows owners to finance them with debt and equity, and in this case, in the form of dividend-paying stocks.  Brookfield Renewable Partners is one of the industry's biggest renewable energy asset owners with 21,000 megawatts of projects around the world. The company aims to generate annualized returns of 12% to 15% through organic growth in distributions of 5% to 9% and some price appreciation in the stock… In the last year and a half, dividends paid are down partly because of a split of Brookfield Renewable Partners and Brookfield Renewable Corporation (NASDAQ: BEPC) stock and a 3-for-2 stock split. Without those events, dividends per share would be steadily higher, continuing a decade-long trend.  As steady as dividend growth has been from a company like Brookfield Renewable Partners, there are also risks for renewable energy projects that shouldn't go overlooked. Right now, hydro assets are underperforming expectations because of drought conditions around the world, especially in Brazil… On the flip side, less rain and more sun could mean solar projects outperform expectations long term, so there's value in being a diverse and large asset owner.  I think the stability and know-how of Brookfield Renewable Partners makes it a great long-term dividend stock.  2) Howard Smith picks Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure (NASDAQ: AY) More and more companies in a wide range of industries are signing power purchase agreements with renewable energy generators to power their facilities and ensure products can be made and sold sustainably. Companies like Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure that own or invest in that power generation are benefiting and growing from this movement. And those benefits are being shared with investors in the form of a high-yielding dividend.  Atlantica… aims to pay shareholders 80% of generated cash. And it has been consistent growing those dividend payments in the past. Its quarterly dividend has increased by 65% in the past four years. That growth should continue as cash available for distribution increased by 12.9% in the first half of 2021.  Atlantica's business is spread among North America, South America, and the Europe, Middle East, and Africa region… Almost 75% of Atlantica's revenue came from its renewables sector in 2020. And 2021 is starting out strong. The company's continued investments in renewable energy assets have driven its megawatts in operation to grow 30% in the first half of 2021 compared to 2020's first half.  The stock looks inexpensive from a price-to-free cash flow perspective, compared to peers with similar strategies.  With a dividend yielding over 4.3%, now looks to be a good time to buy Atlantica. 3) Daniel Foelber likes NextEra Energy (NYSE: NEE) NextEra Energy just had an impressive quarter. Its portfolio consists of natural gas, solar, wind, and other assets, giving it diverse revenue streams that allow it to weather the ebbs and flows of the energy market. Its established presence as Florida's leading utility -- through Florida Power & Light and Gulf Power -- provides the bulk of its revenue and net income. A strong foundation from this profitable business paired with access to inexpensive debt has allowed NextEra to grow its renewable energy investments, mainly through its NextEra Energy Resources division. Today, the company is the largest producer of wind and solar energy in the U.S. NextEra's head start in the energy transition gives it a leg up over other utilities since it has had time to build relationships, fill out its supply chain, refine its logistics, and tackle a variety of projects in different markets… NextEra's long-term game plan is to generate predictable revenue (mostly from renewables) via long-term contracts and distribute a portion of earnings to investors through a dividend… Earlier this year, the company raised its quarterly dividend to $0.385 per share, representing a 1.9% annual yield at the time of this writing.” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Great Renewable Energy and EV Stocks Honorable Mentions Article 1. Bain to Start Long-Short Hedge Fund Focused on Green Investing by Nishant Kumar and Melissa Karsh, on Yahoo! Finance. Quote “Bain Capital is starting a hedge fund to bet on and against companies based on sustainable-investing criteria as part of the alternative asset manager's roughly $3 billion public-equities business.” End quote. Now, the ability to go short in a green fund is a new idea. Article 2. My Top Renewable-Energy Stock to Buy in August by Matthew DiLallo. Quote “Brookfield (Renewable) (NYSE: BEP) (NYSE: BEPC) is increasingly becoming the partner of choice for companies that want to reduce their carbon footprint.” End quote. ------------------------------------------------------------- Ending Comment Well, these are my top news stories with their stock and fund tips -- for this podcast: “Great Renewable Energy and EV Stocks.“ To get all the links, stock symbols, or to read the transcript of this podcast -- and more -- go to investingforthesoul.com/podcasts and scroll down to this episode.

Bíblia em um ano: Deuteronômio 3–4; Marcos 10:32-52 Leitura bíblica de hoje: 1 Reis 19:9-13 E, depois do fogo, veio um suave sussurro. v.12 Há alguns anos, a reitora de uma faculdade sugeriu que os alunos fizessem uma “desaceleração” certa noite. Mesmo concordando, eles relutaram em deixar o celular de lado ao entrar na capela. Durante uma hora, sentaram-se em silêncio num culto de louvor e oração. Posteriormente, um participante descreveu a experiência como “uma oportunidade maravilhosa de se acalmar […] uma ocasião de se desligar de todo barulho extra”. Às vezes, é difícil fugir do “ruído extra”. O clamor do mundo interior e exterior pode ser ensurdecedor. Mas, quando estamos dispostos a “desacelerar”, entendemos o lembrete do salmista sobre a necessidade de nos aquietarmos para saber quem é Deus (SALMO 46:10). Em 1 Reis 19, descobrimos que, quando o profeta Elias buscou o Senhor, não o encontrou no caos do vento nem no terremoto nem no fogo (vv.9-13). Elias ouviu o suave sussurro de Deus (v.12). Os ruídos extras fazem parte praticamente de todas as comemorações. Quando famílias e amigos se reúnem, é provável que haja conversas animadas, comida em excesso, riso barulhento e doces expressões de amor. Mas quando abrimos silenciosamente o coração, descobrimos que o tempo com Deus é ainda mais doce. Como Elias, somos mais propensos a encontrar Deus na quietude. E, às vezes, se estivermos atentos, também ouviremos esse sussurro suave. CHK

Thank you so much for having me. I hear this crowd applause in the background. Let’s get that in post-production. I love it. Douglas: Awesome. So, Kaleem, I'm really curious to hear how an employee-experience professional gets their start. How do you find your way on this path?  Kaleem: That's a good question. I probably should have this ready by now. But I guess I'll start my origin story. I guess this is my origin story. So born and raised in Bangor, Maine. I’m going way back. Bangor, Maine, represent. I always love to throw it out. My home state, I love it. But I ended up going to college in Massachusetts. Got a chance to play at Western State University. Got a chance to play some college football there. And during that time, we all had a very good time. Let's put it that way. I enjoy having beverages with people, making sure that everyone else is having a good time, and we ended up throwing a good amount of gatherings, should you say, in college. And started getting into a metal band, believe it or not. Just got into a metal band and started rocking out. Love the stage. Love that whole feel to it. And that led me to starting a nonprofit organization called Concerts for Charity, which I think we started in ’99. And we started putting on different concerts with different charities across New England. We got our 513(c) status and started donating to different charities, and we got to work with a lot of cool bands in different areas—you know, a lot of jam bands, a lot of hard-rock bands. We worked with—jeez, I'm trying to think of some bands that we booked in the past. I think we booked Blind Melon on their comeback tour, which was pretty cool. Chk, Chk, Chk out in Sacramento, I remember back in the day. I think we booked Slick Rick, a rapper. If you don't know, some of the old-school folks. Douglas: Colleague of Doug E. Fresh, if I'm not mistaken.  Kaleem: Yeah. Yeah. You know, what's funny is we went and picked him up at the airport or whatever, and he gets in the car, and total British accent. You know? So, you don't think about that, like, dude's been living in England all these years. And gets in, and he’s like, “Hello.” Horrible British accent, by the way. That’s horrible.  But anyway, yeah. So I got a chance doing that, and that was really kind of my first experience with dealing with virtual volunteers. VolunteerMatch at the time, we ended up connecting with the Warped Tour, and were able to register people to vote through a group called HeadCount as well. Anyway, it was great. It was a cool experience. We got to do a documentary that featured Trey Anastasio from Phish, Bob Weir from the Grateful Dead, and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones—really big artists in the jam-band scene. And we got to debut it at HBO. So it was cool. I was probably only, what, 21 years old, 22 years old? I really got my first taste of putting on events and just kind of sitting back and watching everybody having a good time. And I think that's the common theme, right? Everyone was just having a good time. Everyone has that cup, that Red Solo Cup, and that really cheap beer. But everyone's having a good time, generally.  And yeah, so I kind of move on. Moved to Atlanta, my partner and I, and get a job at Kennesaw State University at Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning. And that's like a faculty-development center. They basically teach faculty how to teach. I don’t know if you knew that, you know, a lot of people may not know this, but college professors, they graduate with a PhD, and they put right in the classroom, so they don't go through any teaching training or anything like that, a lot of them. So, yeah, yeah, it was cool. I got to put on a lot of international conferences there. Again, I'm putting on parties again, right, except in a different setting. That was the kind of interesting, or educational piece to me. I didn't realize faculty also enjoy having a good time, and they do.  So, yeah, all these professional conferences, got a chance to put some of those on, and really kind of just didn't even realize that—I was there for 10 or 12 years. And I would have to say in 2012, I believe, during my work at Kennesaw, I got heavily involved with the Drupal community, and Drupal’s an open-source website-application tool, kind of like WordPress, build websites with it. So kind of got involved with that community. And again, that was another experience of being with like-minded people. It was outside of my previous experience of concerts and the entertainment industry, and then getting in the higher ed around faculty in the higher ed industry. Well, now I'm around other computer digital marketers and digital professionals, you know, developers. And yeah, I got heavily involved with Drupal and started building websites, and I kind of became a Drupal developer. And last year, or probably a year and a half ago, yeah, a year, I left higher ed and decided to get involved with a company called Oomph as a UX engineer and started doing some front-end development work. But the cool thing about Drupal and open source is, again, the networks of people that you meet. And during that time, it was 2012, that I was at a conference in Denver, DrupalCon Denver, and I heard a talk by, his name is Matt Westgate from a company called Lullabot. They’re a big development firm. I think they did the Grammy’s website and some other big ones. But anyway, yeah, I went to that talk, and he was talking about how to run a virtual organization. And he talked about why they weren't using the word remote and why they were using the word distributed and how those words, what those words actually could mean to people. And I recall him saying remote felt like you were distant from something. Douglas: Mm-hmm. Kaleem: You were away from a group of people. So it was fascinating. Like, at that time, 2012, it seems like 100 years ago, but there weren't very many people talking about how to work remotely. So I came home, and my partner, she had graduated two years before that, in 2010, with her master's degree from Yukon in organizational development. And she actually wrote her master's paper thesis on virtual volunteerism, because my charity had hooked up with the Warped Tour, and we had virtual volunteers all over the country. So I came home from that, and I was talking with Jen, and I said, “I think we found something. I think we should do our own thing,” and she was all about it.  She was looking for strategic HR jobs, and there weren't very many. People love those jobs, by the way. I’ll use VP of people and CHRO of people; they don’t really leave those jobs, because those jobs, they’re great. Strategic HR’s obviously a much bigger thing now. So we just decided to create Blend Me, Inc. I kind of took care of the marketing, and then she would take care of the engagement, and that's how we kind of came up with the name.  So she worked for a while at a company that was all distributed. And, you know, we kind of did some consulting on the side with some diversity inclusion. And at the end of the day, you realize all of your experiences are kind of what, together, are who you are, and I was very fortunate in that I had been at companies for—I was at Kennesaw for a very long time, 11 years, and it was because we had a great time. And now, if I'm looking back, you asked me the origin question of how you become an employee-experience professional, you just look back and think about all of the situations and the moments you had that were special with a special group where you accomplished big goals. We accomplished a lot of great things there, and a lot of it had to do with the fact that we were all having a really, really good time.  So this year, with COVID, I decided that it's time to go full time, that we no longer had that obstacle of proving to people that remote work, you can be productive. That has always been an obstacle. And honestly, what we decided from day one, 2012, when we're writing our mission statement, we said we did not want to work with agencies that wanted us to prove that remote work was the right answer. We didn't want to get into that type of work, because trying to prove to somebody that, no, you could do this, it’s just not really in our—we want to help people that have already kind of gone over that hump or already believe that it can be successful, because if there's not a belief from the very top all the way through the organization, it doesn't come through as authentic.  So what's interesting is for all these years, there's been a very small market. But I firmly believe, and I think we can all agree, that from March of 2020 on, I don't think any manager—well, in certain industries, I shouldn't say that—but I'm going to say in 90 percent of jobs today that we have behind a desk or in an office, it's going to be very difficult for managers to say that you're not productive.  So, yeah, that's the whole origin story. I think I got it in, like, eight minutes. I got to work on cutting it down a little bit. But, yeah, that's how we kind of came to this point. Douglas: Yeah. And I really want to dig in on the definition of remote versus distributed. And, you know, even virtual is kind of mixed in there as well. I ran into this when I was first venturing out of my own and kind of exploring this kind of concept of fractional CTO. And at first I was calling myself a virtual CTO, and someone asked me—it was a junior developer—they said, “So does that mean it's all in the cloud?” And so I thought maybe this word virtual is not a good fit here.  That story or that notion of misinterpretation of the word virtual is I know exactly what you're getting at around remote versus distributed. And I think that a lot of those notions really held us back. But now that everyone's been thrust into this experience where they've been forced to grapple with it, to wrap their hands around it, they're starting to understand that there are some benefits, and things maybe aren't as bad as they might imagine. Kaleem: Absolutely. And you know what really the difficulty with our industry—and when I say “our,” I just mean remote work or telework industry—is that we don't have an association now. I know Laurel Farrer has just created the Remote Work Association, and I give her kudos to that. And I believe—what’s her name from FlexJobs?—Sara—can’t remember her name, but she started FlexJobs. They created the one-million-person march campaign. There’s been different, like, spin-off campaigns. But one thing that I've learned from higher ed is when you have the National Society for Statistics, Mathematics and Statistics, you know, that's an organization that spits out all the knowledge. When you have SHRM—Society for Human Resource Management—or you have these major-field associations, there is research. There's guidance. There are definitions. There are thought leaders.  And for me and for us when we were trying to talk to clients about the different types of “remote” work, we just always got stuck. Me, having that thought of, well, let's find the history, and realizing that, oh, okay, well, outside of the U.S., a lot of countries use the term telework. The government agencies use the word telework. You know, there's telework guidance guidelines for the government—well, before, but I'm pretty sure that they still exist somewhere. So then we were struggling with that.  So for us, we just figured, okay, we need to come up with our own definitions for when we're working with clients. And we wanted it to show homage to Jack Nilles for coming up with the word telework in 1973. It's kind of a little outdated definition, but we just kind of thought, like, okay, all of these different things of telework, and when we're thinking about the different types, we realized that a lot of the terms are related to a central workplace. So for us, what we decided to do is come up with our own definitions.  Here we go. We call them teleworks big three, right? So we kind of go with, all of it’s telework work, but a distributed company doesn't have a centralized workplace. So when we’re talking with our clients, we’re like, “Oh, yeah. We’re a remote company. We don’t have an office.” We’ll say, “Okay, well, for our purposes, when we’re in our meetings and when we’re talking about the programs that we have, we’re going to refer to your agency as a distributed company because you don't have a centralized workplace.” So employees, they work from wherever they're the most productive and the most comfortable. So that's distributed.  Then we came to the common word of remote. And what drove us to this was back to that 2012 talk of the reason why they don't use the word remote was that it felt like you were away from the centralized workplace. Well, Lullabot was 100 percent distributed. They didn't have a central workplace. But remote employees are away from a centralized workplace. So to me and to us, when we're talking to—not to me, but internally speaking—remote employees are people who work away from the office. So you have a centralized office, there are people that are going into the office every day, but you also have some remote employees. So that's how we kind of label that.  And then our last one is kind of like the telecommuter, telecommute. You know, telecommute employees share their time between a central workplace and working wherever they feel comfortable.  So to us, that's kind of how we've broken it down. I’d be awesome if everybody out there in the whole remote workspace would say, “Hey, this is great. Let's all agree to this.” As far as posting social media, remote work is very popular, the term remote work. And we’re kind of still in that space as well, so we understand. But when we’re internal, I kind of feel like there are definitely differences. Another word that we've seen before to replace kind of remote employee is maybe hybrid. You know, we've heard people talk about a hybrid setup and a hybrid setup means half the people are in a central workplace and half the people are not.  So I do feel like it's really important. I wish, I hope somebody steps up and maybe the Remote Work Association will be that governing body for all of us, where we can all post our research too and be a place. For right now, I guess we'll use the term remote work when we're talking to the rest of the world and just try to clarify the differences between the different types, because there's a major difference in communication facilitation and how you're going to manage your team based on the types of telework that you’re implementing. Douglas: Absolutely. And I would imagine that the tactics would be quite different and maybe even the programs which you might use to address the concerns or the needs.  So when you think about these three, this taxonomy, when you're working with clients, is there one category that you find is most popular? Kaleem: Yeah. There's no doubt that what we call remote or “hybrid” is the most popular, especially like today—you know, so it's kind of a difficult question because it's like, well, are you talking about before or after? So before; let's just talk about before. Before, and I'm saying just so the world knows I'm talking about before COVID-19, okay? Before COVID-19, I would say there were definitely more hybrid companies or remote companies where they had people working in a central workplace and some people working remotely. Telecommuter, it's kind of, you know, I would say a lot of agencies allow their people to work from home a couple of times. So I would say definitely between telecommuting agencies that lets you work from home a couple of times a week and the hybrids were by far the most popular. Douglas: And what do you think folks are learning as they're shifting a bit, as far as their ability to set the frequency at which people were remote? They went from being a part-time, somewhat sometimes kind of thing to being a full-time thing. And I'm sure you've seen them kind of struggle from—because I would imagine some of the practices and approaches they were using, let's say the weaknesses maybe started to show more once they started to lean more heavily into it. So I'm curious what you noticed. As folks have been forced to be more remote, what have they noticed that broke down? What was no longer working for them? And I’m interested from a pattern standpoint. Like, what's been consistent across most of your conversations? What are you hearing that’s like a...kind of a very common issue that's been breaking down for folks as they have become more remote? Kaleem: There's no doubt it's been communication. We kind of used to brand ourselves as an internal-marketing agency, and we still do a lot of internal marketing. But there's no doubt that the communication has been one of the biggest breakdowns, because you weren't set up to do this. One of the things that we talk about when you're designing your employee experience is you have to look at it from the day they look at your job ad to the day that they are departing. And if you don't have a plan—and you know this with meetings—if you don't have an agenda, right, or you don't have a set of goals that are intentional, then your product’s not going to most likely be as good. And then that goes for the same thing with internal communication and doing remote work.  The ones who are struggling are the ones who did not have good internal-marketing practices in place. The organizations who are struggling are the ones who don't trust their employees. The ones who are really having a tough time are the ones who did not take on the responsibility of providing enough resources, enough training, enough documentation to allow you to be distributed now.  So it's really interesting to see the companies who haven't even missed a beat. A lot of the Drupal companies in the web-development space, I'm learning a lot of this, the culture and the practice and stuff, from some of these companies. They’re going on—you know that talk that I’m telling you about is 2012. Another company, Four Kitchens, I mean, they’re another Drupal company. They’ve been distributed now for, jeez, probably eight years. And the company I work for, they've had distributed people.  So the organizations who are not having a challenge at all are the ones who are already prepared to be remote already. So, you know, just to kind of re-emphasize, the ones who did not have their internal-communications strategy set up are the ones who are struggling the most. There's no doubt.  Douglas: Yeah. And so what are the hallmarks of a good internal-marketing program? How do we bolster those communication plans? Kaleem: Whew, yeah, that's a deep one. That's a deep one. So just not just internal marketing. I probably shouldn't say the ones who didn't have the internal-marketing plan, but more along the lines of, you didn't have your whole employee experience planned out, because you can have the best internal marketing set up, but if you haven't explained how your culture works or what your culture’s like, a remote employee can't feel that. So I guess I should say, you know, yes, internal marketing is critical because it's part of communication. That's a huge piece. But in the whole employee experience, there are a lot of steps.  And I would say Gallup, for all you researchers out there, Gallup, we've been quoting Gallup a long time for all of the awesome research they've done on remote work: how many people work remotely? They're one of the best that have been producing it. They kind of came up with this great diagram of what the employee experience is like. I'll just kind of go through those different spaces, because internal marketing kind of fits kind of within these things, right? So their first thing that they talk about is attract. How is your job description written? Does it reflect the type of people that work at your agency? And are you attracting the type of people that you want to be at your agency? So what's your culture statement look like? Do you have a page that talks about your culture? Do you meet every single day? Is it more of a Netflix—work-90-hours-a-week-type culture, or are you more like work whenever you feel comfortable? So that's important that your website’s set up right.  Then, you got to hire. Is your hiring practice matching what you’ve already talked about? Are you interviewing with multiple people on the teams? Are you meeting those people? Do you have a chance to talk to the culture club or people outside of your team instead of just your team?  Then, you have to onboard the people. So now you're only at step three. Onboarding and onboarding alone are very, very thorough. Onboarding program can be up to 18 months. You're talking about, okay, you’ll get 30-, 60-, 90-day reviews, and you have to kind of establish what your goals kind of were. And so onboarding can be long. Then, you have engagement. You got to make sure your employee’s engaged. So you have engagement pieces.  Then, you have to set up and go to performance. You got to make sure your performance evaluations are set up correctly. Make sure that everybody understands what is expected of you to be successful at that organization. And then you have to develop them, right? And then they depart at some point.  So this huge step of, like, seven steps of the whole employee experience, what we’ve realized from remote work is that you have to have trust. Trust is even more critical. Trust is even more critical because, you know, are you an agency that is going to try to have a piece of software that takes snapshots of your individuals every 90 seconds? Or are you a results-only-type agency that cares more about the results and understands that, hey, with school the way it is in some places, people may not be able to work all day. You know, people may have to work at a different time. So trust is critical.  And then, we kind of talked about responsibility earlier. You have to have this—you know, to work remotely, there's a sense of responsibility both on the employee and on the employer. It's a very two-way street.  So, like, this whole, whole thing is kind of what is the pillar of the remote-employee experience, kind of something that we're kind of labeling as “tree”, trust and responsibility. In order for you to get that set up, you just have to start at the beginning, and you have to be intentional of what it is that you're trying to accomplish in each step.  So, I know I didn't answer your question specifically about, like, what are some of the pillars in establishing a good internal-marketing strategy? But, you know, I just kind of wanted to really emphasize that you need to think about this whole thing and not just the internal-marketing side. You have to think about this whole thing, because now we don't have those office places that people can talk to and interact with. You know, now people are distributed behind a computer. So you really do have to think about the whole spectrum.  Douglas: Yeah, that makes sense. What is that journey the employees taking, and how can you meet them at various moments in that journey with intention? Kaleem: Yeah. Yeah. And we're just seeing it right now. The groups who really, really, really care about their employees, that are—what we like to say is we like to work with agencies who are culture driven. And to us, what that means is, listen, we all want to make money. I kind of feel like people trip sometimes when you talk about we care about people. Even nonprofits, people—look, nonprofits make money, people, just so you know this. And I used to tell people about this all the time. A nonprofit, a 513(c) is an IRS designation. All that means is that entity does not have shareholders. Charities make profits. Your business has to make profits to be sustainable. So with all of that said, we work with the agencies who are culture driven, meaning that, yes, we can make more money, but we'd rather maybe only make a little less money and put culture first, because we understand that it's a marathon, right? Like, we understand that if our employees are happy, it's going to just make our situation a lot better. So I think one thing I like to talk about is culture-driven agencies. Douglas: Yeah, I like that, this notion that that's a priority and a focus for the leadership.  So I want to talk a little bit about some tactics. And something that we talked about, or that I noticed, in some of our preshow exchange was around the use of Google Docs and how you can, as a remote tool, use that to focus the team into a common task. So I’m just really curious around what are some things that people can go do today, whether it's, like, use Google Docs in this fashion, if you want to elaborate on that, or it could be any other tactic or approach, but what's something that they can just go literally try out and improve their employee experience?  Kaleem: All right. That's cool. I like that. I like that. So I'm just going to kind of go through each one of them. I think that kind of will make a little bit more sense in my brain.  So the first thing that you can do to attract the type of employees that you want, I learned this, actually, with Oomph, inc. is they created a culture club, which I thought was pretty neat. Get some of your team together, make it voluntary, and say, “Hey, you know what. We want to kind of rewrite what our culture statement is like to better fit who we are today. And we want to kind of better illustrate what it's like to be a part of this team.” I like to use team instead of family. Sometimes families…you know. So, yeah, “What is it like to be a part of this team?” so that you’re attracting the right people.  The other thing, too, is to kind of attract some of those people that you're looking at, get outside of your normal bubble and market yourself, but—we love to say, and now I’m going to kind of talk about engaged—look for people that are going to add to your culture instead of culture fit. So we like to use the word culture ad versus culture fit. Culture’s great, but we all talk about why is culture great aside from the obvious reasons from a personal and emotional level.  Back to business, you want as many different people on your team so that you have different perspectives. Like, if you want to just talk about “Straight cash, homey,” T.O. quote, it's more about having people, more variety of people, on your team so that you have different perspectives. You know, just think of Corn Pops. If Corn Pops would've had maybe more people on their marketing team, they wouldn't have sent out that Corn Pops box years ago, where the only brown Corn Pops person as the janitor. You know what I'm saying? Like, that's a huge gaffe, right?  So that's attract. So that's one thing that you could do. Maybe get a culture club together, try to rewrite your culture statement. With hiring, I would say a good one is—oh, yeah. This is a simple one. This is more probably along the lines of in your wheelhouse of facilitation—do not, by all means, do an interview with—and I'm sorry to say this, Owl Labs, because you have an awesome product, but it feels awkward—don't do an interview with your team at a conference table and the employee remote. I understand—I think Owl Labs cameras are the best. Now I can't get it out of my head. It's an unbelievable product, in my opinion. You know, it kind of jumps around to the person that's speaking, and the camera shows the whole room, and it kind of goes back and forth. It's super cool. Like, I would suggest it for any agency that has multiple board rooms in different places that are meeting and talking. But when you have an interviewee, their first impression, and they're trying to talk with you and you're at a conference-room table with eight of your colleagues side by side, there is already an us-versus-them experience. So it's already a “I'm here, and you're there.” So my suggestion is just get everybody on Zoom or whatever video system you're using. Equality, it's about the same. So put everyone on the same call, the same platform, the same camera. Everywhere the same.  Douglas: Yeah. You know, I’ve said that for years. Like, if we're facilitating and someone's remote, everyone should be remote because we want to level the playing field. Otherwise, it's going to be hard to empathize if we're not all experiencing what everyone else is or what those few individuals are experiencing. And it reminds me of all-hands meetings years and years ago, where people would dial into it. And then I thought to myself, what is it like to actually dial into one of these things? So I dialed into one, and it was—I mean, I couldn’t hear anything. It was [muffled]. And then you’d hear people talking like that, and you’d think, oh, I don’t know. I don’t even know what anyone’s saying. And maybe every now and then you could make out a few things the CEO said but definitely didn't hear any questions or any dialogue. And it's, like, really not great. And so I love that point of, like, let's level the playing field.  Kaleem: Yeah. Yeah.  So then for onboarding, so you're kind of talking about Google Docs and stuff. But for onboarding, simple solution, like, you got to have a place where someone’s going to learn about the organization. Believe it or not, a lot of companies don't have a moment to hear the origin story. Like, we talked about my origin story earlier. And to a lot of people, they may fast forward, but, like, hey, I love to rep Bangor. You know, there's an emotion to why a business got started. You know what I mean? There's something outside. There's a story. And if people don't know that story,  then they may not understand what it is, you know, what are the values that are driving the organization?  So to me, I know onboarding is not the initial, it's not the first interaction with the agency. It's not even where first opinions happen, because it's in the third step. We’re in the third step, right? I mean, we understand that your first impression is definitely the job description. I mean, when people look at the jobs, their first impression is the job description, and then they go on your website. But when you’re onboarding, this is kind of like the first time that employees get to interact or participate. This is the first time that the individual’s participating. So this is a really, really, really crucial moment to let them know what that origin story is and let them know what values are driving your organization.  So one of my first recommendations is just record a video of the founder. I mean, it doesn't even have to be crazy. Just record a video of when the founder got the idea for the business and why the founder started it, and then maybe a little bit about what drives the company. Because right now, COVID-19, if you have to let go of 20 people, or maybe you have a staff of 100 and you got to let go 20 or 30 people, those other people that are there, they go through all sorts of emotions, never mind the people that you let go. But the people that are staying there are going through some stuff. They lost some friends that are no longer employed. There’s a little bit of uncertainty about the future. If all your employees know what drives you even during uncertain times, a lot of these anxieties that make people nervous and get people looking for other options will be erased.  So onboarding is so critical, and I can't give away all my secrets.  Douglas: Sure, sure. Kaleem: So I would say the video is something simple. If you don't have a quick little video that somebody can watch or even, like, a couple paragraphs, how you got started and why you got started and then what drives you. And I know people use the word values all the time. I’m trying to use different words than mission and vision and all that stuff. But what drives your company? Douglas: Yeah. And a couple things I would add there. It’s like so many companies talk about values, and even in the job description, they'll describe things that are aspirational and not necessarily—they're not really conveying the fact that we are that culture that's working 60, 80 hours a week. And if you plan to retain people and you’re doing that, you should be pretty honest about it up front, right?— Kaleem: Right. Yes, be honest. Douglas: —rather than tricking people into coming in. And then the same thing with values, right? If they’re just some words that we adopted because they sound like stuff that, you know, you put on values— Kaleem: Hardworking, go-getter. I mean, like, what is that? Douglas: Yeah. And integrity.  Kaleem: Yeah. Like, what is that? What is that?  Douglas: So if you can make them authentic, then I think people are going to resonate with those. And if they’re shared values that they hold, then it can get people really excited. So I think that's really great.  Kaleem: Yeah, yeah. Douglas: And one thing that I saw a company do here in Austin I've always been a fan of is they created a scavenger hunt, and, essentially, new employees were given this scavenger hunt. And the cool thing about the scavenger hunt was that it included different aspects of the company's history. The way that they got to the answers or found these things, they would have to go talk to other employees in other departments. And so they got— Kaleem: Nice. Douglas: —to know so much about the way the company worked, the way the company— Kaleem: I love this. Douglas: —had evolved over time, and they made friends and connected. And it was very participatory. So I love it because it’s like a facilitator's dream to do those kinds of things. And so if more companies could institute these types of more participatory onboarding practices, I think you’d start to get into what we talk about as facilitator leadership. Kaleem: I love that idea. You’re definitely going to have to send me some—maybe you can remember the company and send me some stuff on that. I think that's a great, great idea.  So then, yeah. So then you have engagement. And there's a million different ideas for engagement. One thing that I love for remote work that—I don't know, maybe this is more in performance—so engagement, you've got to keep your remote workers engaged. So do you host an annual retreat? Do you host a quarterly retreat? You know, how many—do you have—I don't want to say happy hour, but that's no good. The link to—Zoom happy hours have been pretty tiring of late.  Oh, on engaged, this is my tip for engaged. Something very simple. Ask your employees how they're feeling. Like, literally, you could not imagine how many companies just don't send a very simple employee engagement survey out to their employees. Like, all of us consultants in H.R. are like, “Yo, stop talking, Kaleem.” But the fact that you just don’t do that, it’s so easy. Just write, like… And the other thing that I would suggest is if you’re going to use a survey, if you’re going to have a survey, you got to have a plan of what you’re going to do with the data. So come up with a very simple survey. And I would say ask that question, ask that survey, the exact same time next year so that you can have some sort of benchmarks. You know, doing a survey for no reason, you need to be able to have some data. And  I actually suggest surveying people frequently. There's a lot of great survey software out there. Like, I don’t know. Was it Officevibe? Culture Amp? All of these softwares that send random questions to employees. You may not have that software, the budget for that, but you can come up with a very easy SurveyMonkey or Google Forms with four or five questions and ask your employees every quarter. And they could be the same questions. Maybe you’ll find out that in the fall this one question’s being answered, and they’re lower in this for some reason. So for engagement, that would be my one tip is you got to ask your employees how they’re feeling. Douglas: Awesome. We've definitely covered the gamut, from starting off with a good impression on job descriptions; making sure we're thinking about that human connection in the remote landscape; the taxonomy—making sure we think about what bucket we're in, what is our style of remote work, and how can our approaches and tactics be tuned to be appropriate for our style—all the way through to making sure that we are engaging folks and even understanding how they're feeling, especially in this time of a global pandemic that can be damaging morales and stuff. So, wow, covered a ton, and it's been a blast thinking about all this stuff, Kaleem. And I know that the listeners are probably curious how they can connect with you, learn more, maybe end with a little bit around how they can find you. Kaleem: Yeah, sure. You can find me personally anywhere: kaleemclarkson. So I’m @kaleemclarkson on Twitter, LinkedIn. And you can find our company at blendmeinc.com. And also Remotely One. If you are a remote location, independent professional, and you’re feeling the pains of isolation and loneliness and you want to still kind of build your network, come join Remotely One. We’re a members-only community for location and independent professionals. So you can find us at remotelyone.com or @remotelyone.  And yeah, I guess if there was something that I wanted to kind of sign off on, I guess that would be, let's not all go back—if there was a piece of advice that I could give to organizations out there, don’t go back to the way it was before COVID-19 “just because.” So let me repeat that. Don't go back to business before COVID-19, don't go back “just because.” And what I mean by that is take this time as an opportunity to further develop your organization to be prepared for other disaster contingencies. They’re going to happen. If you're up in New England, you deal with the snow. Midwest, you deal the snow. I mean, there are disasters all the time. Hurricanes. Remote work, as you all have noticed, can help you make it through those times. So take this time to figure out how you can be better when you go back, when we go back, to the “new normal,” and maybe think about how you can reuse your space or reuse some of the things that you used to do before. So let's just not go back to the way it was before COVID-19. Douglas: Kaleem, it's been a pleasure having you on the show. Thanks for joining. Kaleem: I appreciate it. Thank you so much for having me on. Come back anytime. Outro: Thanks for joining me for another episode of Control the Room.

You are busy? You don’t have the time to make it happen? Nah. I’m going to go ahead and say you’re either lazy or simply don’t want “it” bad enough. What is “it”? You tell me. Maybe you want to learn to trade. Maybe you want to improve in another area of life. After listening to this interview though, you’ll understand why I have very little pity for the “I’m too busy / not enough time” statements people throw around. Our guest, Diego (same name in chat room) gives us a rundown of his current journey and you’ll see this guy is not messing around. I also had the pleasure and honor of meeting Diego at our Fort Lauderdale meet-and-greet and I will attest to the fact he’s a Grade A person. If you’re in search of some real life inspiration based in reality, and not theory, then look no further. Let’s get to it! Notes: Today we interview community member Diego. He had contributed to a TSP account which is available for military members until the time his service ended. After taking some looks at the account daily, he became interested in the daily ebbs and flows of the account. This led him to move his account into various mutual funds which ultimately led him to swing trading. This was all prior to any training. A majority of his buying and selling was based on recommendations from various media sources. Diego started to focus strictly on natural gas and would trade UGAZ and DGAZ (two gas ETF’s that move inversely). After not finding much success trading those based on fundamentals, Diego looked into options. After having some missed trades, Diego stumbled on to the Inner Circle and expected to get buy and sell alerts from Clay. However, as he soon found out, there are only technical alerts being given since every member has their own risk tolerance. This led to him joining the University program. Diego continued to focus on his interest on options and now exclusively trades advanced option spreads. This works great with his busy schedule. He has also learned that he does not need to be in a trade every day. It’s much more lucrative to trade good setups and pass on the mediocre ones. Quotes: I was on the kool-aid for The Street and buying based on what they were saying. My expectation was to get rich now. I want to hit it big and quit my job and live on the beach. It’s harder than you expect. I read about options. I bought cheap options on CHK to cap my risk. Something happened so 120 dollars became 700. Let the past be the past. Move forward and focus on the present. The next four months, I studied CTU. I plan the trade the night before then put in my orders at the open. I look again by about 2:00 if I didn’t get a fill in the morning.

En cette période d'élections, l'épineuse question du travail et de l'emploi reste au cœur de l'actualité. C'est dans le parcours semé d'embûches des demandeurs d'emplois que nous emmène La Matinale de 19h avec Cécile Hautefeuille. Journaliste indépendante à Montpellier, elle est partie de sa propre expérience, pour décrire les difficultés que présente la quête d'un emploi dans son livre La Machine infernale, sous-titré « Racontez-moi Pôle Emploi ». À travers des anecdotes souvent perturbantes, l'auteure livre une critique ardente du système qui animes les deux côtés du guichet de Pôle Emploi. On peut pas parler de six millions de personnes, mais croyez-moi ce ne sont pas tous des branleurs qui attendent que 800 euros tombent chez eux Dans un autre registre, on reçoit Annabelle Neau du Trabendo dans la seconde partie de l'émission. La salle de concert, située en plein cœur du Parc de la Villette fête déjà ces cinq ans. Vous serez tout de cet espace de musique et de fête, à la fois incontournable et intimiste. Les cinq ans se dérouleront le 1er juin, et pour l'occasion le Trabendo se dédoublera en une scène intérieure et une scène extérieure. Le groupe mythique !!! (Chk chk chk) sera en tête d'affiche de cet anniversaire. On va vous donner envie de musique, de soleil et de groove avec les beaux jours qui se sont bien installés.  Présentation: Alban Barthélemy / Co-interviews : Dania Kaddur & Margaux Roche / Chronique :  Clémence Pesnot/ Réalisation : Julien Abou/ Web :  Margaux Roche/ Coordination : Elsa Landard & Marion Guichaoua.
