Podcasts about Kaira

My 17 year old daughter Kaira just spoke at the national speech tournament in Minneapolis, where her speech was 10th in the nation. I thought she absolutely nailed the idea of family as a team, and the main tool she's seen our family use to truly create this as a reality in our multi-generational family. If you've ever wondered what our kids truly think about this stuff - if it actually lands with them and impacts them - I think this shows just how much they're picking up. Plus, it's a succinct and amazingly delivered argument for our number 1 tool that we recommend to all family teams.

Stāsta komponiste, literāte, Jāzepa Vītola Latvijas Mūzikas akadēmijas docētāja Gundega Šmite. Pārraides producente: Rūta Paula. Vai tev ir nācies doties pilsētā ar ausīm, ne tikai kājām? Saklausīt, kā pavisam nejauši saspēlējas auto signāli divās paralēlās ielās, kā attāli asfaltu sāk tricināt ceļa urbis, kā skan soļi uz ietves – sporta kurpju mīkstie, teju nedzirdamie pakšķi, kurus spēji pārmāc augstpapēžu kurpju āmuriņi. Iekāpjot tramvajā, mūs var nepatīkami satrūcināt durvju caururbjoši pīkstieni, tām atveroties un aizveroties. Tad vēl neprognozējamie biļešu reģistrēšanas signāli. Un labi, ja izdevies apsēsties blakus kādam pasažierim, kurš telefona saturu klausās austiņās, nevis pilnā skanējumā. Trokšņu simfonija pilsētās var reizēm veidot daudzslāņu skaņu avotu polifoniju. Vai tā var būt baudāma? Piekrītu itāļu dižgaram Lučāno Berio, ka mūzika ir viss, ko mēs uztveram kā mūziku. Kaut vai tās būtu atsperīga lietus lāšu tokāta pa skārda palodzi vai auto signalizēšanas aktīvie dialogi un kontrapunkti. Lieliskais komponists un domātājs Džons Keidžs, piemēram, klausījās Ņujorkas intensīvo satiksmes troksni ar baudu un ar patiesu aizrautību runāja par skaņas aktivitāti. Tā viņam šķita pavisam pašpietiekošs, baudāms skanisks plūdums ar augstākām un zemākām, skaļākām un klusākām, garākām un īsākām skaņām. Un viņam nepietrūka vēstījuma vai kā tāda, ko, piemēram, kāds komponists būtu iekodējis un vēlējies skaņu valodā nodot klausītājiem. Klausītājs-uztvērējs pats kļūst quasi muzikālās, vai būsim precīzi – skaniskās pieredzes radītājs. Keidža un Berio paustais rosina saklausīt pilsētas trokšņus kā iedvesmojošu skaņu paleti. Precīzāk – skaņainavu ar muzikālām kvalitātēm. Taču kurā brīdī šī skaņainava ir baudāma un kurā – pat kaitīga un varam jau to sākt izjust kā akustisko jeb trokšņa piesārņojumu? Rīga pilnīgi noteikti nav pasaules skaļāko galvaspilsētu desmitniekā, lai arī tā tiek uzskatīta par salīdzinoši skaļāko Baltijas galvaspilsētu vidū. Klusākā ir Tallina. Par pašu trokšņaināko tiek uzskatīta Bangladešas galvaspilsēta Daka. Pasaules veselības organizācija kā pieļaujamo vidējo trokšņu līmeni pilsētā ir uzstādījusi 55 decibelus. Dakā tie ir vairāk kā divreiz augsti – ap 119 decibeliem vidēji un ar "pīķiem" līdz pat 132 decibeliem. Viens no galvenajiem skaņas avotiem ir 800 000 motociklu, kuru motoru tarkšķi nudien ir jaudīgs skaņas avots. Citu trokšņaināko pilsētu vidū jāmin Mumbaja, Kaira, Deli, Šanhaja, Buonosairesa, Ņujorka. Keidža apdzejotā Ņujorka ir viena no blīvāk apdzīvotajām pilsētām. Tās iedzīvotāji ir pakļauti nepārtrauktam satiksmes un celšanas darbu troksnim. Taimskvēra apvidū vidējais trokšņa līmenis ir 70–80 dB. Arī Tokija, kurā iespējams ar ausīm izdzīvot galvenās ielas šķērsošanas troksni – vienā zaļās gaismas periodā galvenās ielas krustojumu var šķērsot līdz pat 3000 cilvēku, kuru čalas, kurpju klaudzieni ar crescendo efektu līdzinās jaudīga motorzāģa rūkšanai. Vai tā ir tikai unikāla dzirdes pieredze? Īstermiņā noteikti sliecos piekrist. Sajust pilsētas pulsu tik jaudīgu un dzīves sparā mutuļojošu. Cits jautājums ir par to, kā ilgtermiņā mūs ietekmē pilsētas dzīves trokšņu intensitāte? Zinātniski pētījumi liecina, ka dzīvošana pilsētā spēcīgi ietekmē smadzeņu darbību. Pastāv pārstimulācijas risks, kas var novest pie noguruma, koncentrēšanās trūkuma, izdegšanas un arī depresijas. Piemēram, 65 % Dakas ielu policisti cieš no dzirdes traucējumiem un bezmiega, turklāt trokšņu piesārņojums ir nopietns risks paaugstinātam asinsspiedienam, hormonālam disbalansam un attīstības traucējumiem bērniem. Negatīvas sekas var atstāt pat klusināts, bet pastāvīgs troksnis, kas jaudas ziņā ir zemāks par 55 decibeliem – lai gan pie monotona trokšņa cilvēks pierod, ilgtermiņā tas var pazemināt darba spējas ietekmēt miega kvalitāti, radīt galvas sāpes un citus veselības traucējumus. Ko darīt? Vai no pilsētām jābēg? Jāteic, ka pēdējo desmitu gadu laikā dažādās pasaules lielpilsētās speciālisti ir raduši risinājumus, kas mazina kaitīgo trokšņa piesārņojumu. Minēšu pāris piemērus – Singapūrā urbānais dizains iekļauj zaļas bufezonas – blīvu augu valstību parkos, kā arī tā sauktos vertikālos dārzus, kas absorbē un šķīdina trokšņainību.  Kopenhāgenā tiek būvēti klusi pagalmi. Pašas celtnes darbojas kā skaņas vairogi. Jau minētajā Tokijā arhitekti ceļ caurspīdīgas skaņas barjeras un dažādu līmeņu ceļus, kas balansē trokšņu līmeni. Un labi, ka par to tiek domāts. Jo mūsdienu intensīvajā dzīves ritmā visapkārt dārdošais troksnis var radīt stresu atbalstošu ritma mašīnu. Pilsētai vajadzētu tapt par ne tikai stimulējošu, kultūras pieredžu bagātu vidi, bet par vietu, kurā iespējama garīgā atjaunošanās un kvalitatīva atpūta.

Advocacy for volunteerism can't wait until a crisis hits. Sometimes the crisis arrives without warning, and the relationships you've built with policymakers determine whether your program survives.In this episode, host Tobi Johnson welcomes Kaira Esgate, CEO of America's Service Commissions, to discuss sudden funding cuts that threatened AmeriCorps.

The Seaweed Story Seaweed is a crucial part of ecosystems in several parts of the world, including our local California coasts. However, seaweed does more than just offer a home to local marine life. It also has immense carbon sequestration potential, and contains helpful compounds for a variety of different products. Because of these potential benefits, a new industry has arisen: aquaculture. This term refers to farming in the ocean, specifically of seaweed, in order to harness the valuable resources that can be derived from the plant.  Seaweed can be a more environmentally friendly way of growing food as it does not require the use of fertilizer, pesticides, freshwater, or land. According to The Nature Conservancy, global food production accounts for 80% of land degradation, 70% of freshwater use, and 33% of greenhouse gas emissions. Because of its lessened need for land resources, seaweed farming reduces these negative impacts on the environment. It also grows rapidly, and can be harvested in as little as six weeks. It also works as an underwater carbon sink, and can take in huge amounts of carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, helping to clean the oceans and reduce the risk of dead zones—areas where nutrients from fertilizer cause low oxygen levels in water due to runoff and prevent life. While farmed seaweed is not a new concept—it has roots in coastal economies, cultures, and diets, particularly in Asia—the industry has grown to become a $16.7 billion market. Two of the companies that have stepped in to harness the power of seaweed include Ocean Rainforest and Altasea. According to Ocean Rainforest, their mission is to “use science, innovation and expertise to apply sustainable methods to grow and harvest seaweed and process it into premium quality products for our target customer segments.” The company cultivates seaweed in the North Atlantic and the Pacific Ocean, and creates products including biostimulants, pet feed, skincare serums, and ingredients for restaurants.  AltaSea operates their farms at the Port of Los Angeles, and “is dedicated to accelerating scientific collaboration, advancing an emerging Blue Economy through business innovation, and job creation, and inspiring the next generation, all for a more sustainable, just, and equitable world.” On top of selling seaweed related products and services, AltaSea also focuses on conducting research and creating programs that immerse children and adults in ocean education.  One potential challenge the seaweed industry is facing is the fight for space on the coastline, between commercial shipping companies, military vessels, oil platforms, and wildlife protected areas. Also, there is always a risk to altering an ecosystem, even in the case of aquaculture. Space and ecosystems still must be cleared for seaweed farms, which might have consequences for the surrounding areas. In order for seaweed farming to make an impact, it will be crucial for California policies to align with the needs of aquaculture, including space for farms along the coast. Further, Ocean Rainforest and AltaSea are both engaging in outreach projects to promote sustainable aquaculture and seaweed products to hopefully spread the popularity of their eco-friendly products and processes.   About our guest Kaira Wallace is the Regulatory and Community Engagement Associate at OceanRainforest. She focuses on advancing offshore seaweed aquaculture in California by navigating complex permitting processes, building strong relationships with state and federal agencies, and ensuring compliance with environmental standards.  Jade Clemons is the Director of Economic and Workforce Development at AltaSea. Her work centers around California coastal and marine development policy, entrepreneurial ecosystem engagement and collaboration, and implementation of accessible blue economy career pathways.   Resources World Wildlife Fund, Farmed Seaweed Natural History Museum, Seaweed farming for sustainable food California Sea Grant, Seaweed Aquaculture The Nature Conservancy, With the Right Tools, Seaweed Can Be an Important Piece of the Climate Puzzle AltaSea Ocean Rainforest For a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/aquaculture-and-the-seaweed-industry-with-kaira-wallace/

Je me souviens très bien de ma première interaction avec Franck Gastambide.Je pensais connaître son parcours. Je pensais savoir d'où il venait. J'en étais loin.J'avais en face de moi quelqu'un qui n'était pas destiné à une carrière dans le cinéma. Un gamin multidys, dernier de sa classe, élevé dans une barre d'HLM, qui ne trouvait pas sa place à l'école et qui passait davantage de temps avec des chiens qu'avec des amis. Rien, absolument rien, ne laissait penser qu'il deviendrait l'un des réalisateurs les plus bankables du pays.Et pourtant.Quand Franck parle de son parcours, il a une lucidité presque désarmante et une émotion très touchante. Il raconte les humiliations, les refus, les complexes qui le collent à la peau, les moments où il a failli lâcher. Et aussi ce tournant, celui où il comprend que personne ne viendra lui ouvrir la porte. Alors il la défonce.Les Kaïra, Pattaya, Taxi 5… puis Validé. Des projets suivis par des millions de personnes, mais qui, derrière, sont le résultat d'une volonté immense de changer sa trajectoire.Cet épisode de PAUSE est l'un de ceux qui m'a le plus marqué. Parce qu'il montre ce qu'on voit trop peu : un homme qui s'est construit sans modèle, sans réseau, sans permission. Et qui rappelle que la trajectoire n'est jamais écrite d'avance.Si vous aimez son travail, si vous attendiez avec impatience la dernière saison de Validé, ou si vous traversez une période de doute, écoutez cet échange.Il permet de rappeler une chose essentielle : le talent aide, mais la rage de s'en sortir fait souvent la différence.Hébergé par Ausha.

The diversity of perspectives on the wine industry is something we love most about the business and something we want most to share with others, so we're extremely delighted to bring this group to the mics! Emily, who as the Executive Director of the Michigan Wine Collaborative, is working not only on the marketing side, but also working closely with producers. Kaira represents the consumer facet, running a wine social club that not only drinks wine, but gets members out in the world to visit wineries, explore dining, and really engage with the lifestyle of wine. Mike owns M4 Distributing, a speciality wine wholesaler focused on natural/organic wines supplying top restaurants and shops across Michigan. Distributors are a critical link in the chain from producer to consumer in 3-tier states like Michigan, so their unique perspective literally shapes what's available.We had a great chat, filled with humor and insight, and think you'll enjoy these three as much as we did! Thanks for listening in!

“I realized I couldn't write sex scenes, so I went darker. Turns out, murder is more my thing.” — Kaira Rouda Bestselling author Kaira Rouda returns to Uncorking a Story to talk about her latest psychological thriller Jill Is Not Happy—a twisted, funny, and disturbing journey through a seemingly normal marriage gone off the rails. Kaira shares her journey from marketing executive to novelist, her struggles with writing romance (spoiler: no sex scenes), and how she found her true voice writing deeply flawed characters with secrets they'd kill to protect. Key Takeaways: From Biz to Books: Kaira's writing journey began in childhood but was reignited after years in marketing, real estate, and publishing a business book for women entrepreneurs. Finding Her Genre: After an awkward foray into romance, she found her true voice writing domestic thrillers—starting with Best Day Ever. Jill's Not Happy… and It Shows: Her latest book, Jill Is Not Happy, follows a couple on a National Parks road trip where shared secrets—and suppressed rage—drive the tension. Why We Love Marriage Thrillers: Rouda believes dark fiction lets us laugh at the dysfunction and say, “At least we're not that bad.” Behind the Scenes in D.C.: She offers insight into congressional life from her time as a lawmaker's spouse—and how that inspired The Widow. Cheddar Cheese Cravings and Cracker Barrel Confusion: Yes, there's a cheese tangent. Yes, it's delightful. Family of Creatives: Her son is a music producer and her daughter a screenwriter—both of whom keep her on her toes when adapting her own work for screen.

Another OG to my booksta career and I am so happy to pair these two together today, Kaira Rouda. She is also part of the Killer Author Club and a thriller queen. She has mastered the "bad people doing bad things" theme and it is no different in her latest, Jill is Not Happy. The perfect description for this book aside from the deadly cat and mouse, sscary marriage saving road trip is Jill is "Ripley in yoga pants". Perfection. We had so much fun catching up and talking about what Kaira loves about her characters and how Jill kept popping up on her shoulder this book tour. She is so bright and bubbly, I always question how she can go to the dark side! LOL.

Kaira Rouda talks to Carol Fitzgerald about her latest thriller, JILL IS NOT HAPPY. Note: Kaira IS very happily married to her husband, Harley, which is something you need to know as you read this book. Kaira did get the idea for the novel when she and Harley went to Utah during the pandemic. She saw that the landscape there could lend itself to a number of terrifying moments as her characters, Jill and Jack, head off on a weekend road trip together. Jill wants time with her husband. Jack does not want to go but does so begrudgingly. Once they return home, he will leave Jill; to him, their marriage is a charade.

Unpacking The 6 Laws of Successful Singleness | Pastors Joshua & Kaira Redding by Highlight Church

In this message titled "What Do You Have" by guest minister Karia Muñoz, you will discover the power of coming to the Lord more aware of your seed than your need.

How can we stay open to, and perhaps even become curious about, our rough edges? Today we delve further into the themes of Richard Rohr's book, 'Eager to Love,' focusing on the integration of the negative and the spirituality of imperfection. We're joined by very special guests Adam Bucko and Kaira Jewel Lingo, who share personal stories of their encounters with St. Francis and discuss the value of suffering, the Bodhisattva path, and the importance of accepting one's imperfections as a means to spiritual growth. Both share stories about the importance of feedback within community settings, as well as the integration of external practices with internal spiritual journeys. The conversation concludes with practical advice on how to approach life's challenges with joy and acceptance, noting that we're all on the road together, and everything belongs. Kaira Jewel Lingo is a Dharma teacher with a lifelong interest in spirituality and social justice. Her work continues the Engaged Buddhism developed by Thich Nhat Hanh, and she draws inspiration from her parents' lives of service and her dad's work with Martin Luther King, Jr. After living as an ordained nun for 15 years in Thich Nhat Hanh's monastic community, Kaira Jewel now teaches internationally in the Zen lineage and the Vipassana tradition, as well as in secular mindfulness, at the intersection of racial, climate and social justice with a focus on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, and activists, as well as artists, educators, families, and youth. Based in New York, she offers spiritual mentoring to groups and is author of We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons in Moving through Change, Loss and Disruption and co-author of Healing Our Way Home: Black Buddhist Teachings on Ancestors, Joy and Liberation. Adam Bucko is an Episcopal priest, teacher of contemplative spirituality, spiritual director, and activist. Born and raised in Poland under a totalitarian regime, his early exposure to spiritual activism deeply shaped his life's orientation. A committed voice in the renewal of Christian contemplation and new monasticism, he authored Let Your Heartbreak Be Your Guide: Lessons in Engaged Contemplation and co-authored Occupy Spirituality: A Radical Vision for a New Generation and The New Monasticism: An Interspiritual Manifesto for Contemplative Living. Currently, he directs The Center for Spiritual Imagination in New York, dedicated to democratizing monastic spirituality and teaching contemplative prayer in response to the cries of the poor and the earth. He also serves as a priest at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City, New York.  Together, Kaira and Adam lead The Beloved Community for Engaged Spirituality, inspired by the social vision of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Thich Nhat Hanh, and the Buddhist-Christian teachings of Engaged Contemplation.   Hosted by CAC Staff: Mike Petrow, and Paul Swanson Resources: A PDF of the transcript for this episode can be found here.

32-yr-old Kaira felt lucky to have 29-yr-old Giovanni living with her, but soon became disenchanted. At the time, Giovanni was using Tinder and pics of his past women as his porn and not paying his full share of the rent. But instead of focusing on what Giovanni was doing, Kaira got busy working on what she could control. She got a new job and focused on her self-concept. Giovanni has since made a complete turnaround. He initiated coming to Kaira to delete his Tinder profile, introduced her to his mother, and is now making plans for marriage. Back from Season Two, Ep. 22, Kaira reports on how focusing on herself led the man she wanted to focus on a real relationship

Do You Want To Be Noticed | Pastor Kaira Redding by Highlight Church

La kora est au centre de cette émission, avec le virtuose malien Ballaké Sissoko, en duo avec Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch, puis entretien avec Alexandre Girard-Muscagorry. La rencontre d'un instrument ancien et ancestral comme la Kora entre les mains d'un virtuose comme Ballaké Sissoko et d'une électronique consonante mais complexe, élargissant les possibilités de l'instrument même, comme celle proposées par Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch, c'est ce qu'offre Radicants. Il s'agit d'une recherche de nouvelles voies qui ont à voir avec l'immersion, l'abandon, l'hypothèse de nouvelles racines, plutôt qu'avec leurs négations ou leur défense aveugle et faussement respectueuse.Aujourd'hui, ces nouvelles racines sont à inventer : des racines dynamiques, en évolution et capables de soutenir l'autre. Respecter l'idée d'enracinement et justement savoir le projeter dans un monde kaléidoscopique et facetté. Ceci est le fil rouge, l'idée abstraite qui soutient ce projet et qu'on veut défendre.La curiosité et l'ouverture de Ballaké Sissoko permet la construction d'un vrai territoire d'échange dans lequel l'électronique se veut accueillante des sonorités de la Kora. Il n'y a donc pas d'opposition entre deux mondes - acoustique et électronique, traditionnel et contemporain, africain et occidental - mais plutôt acceptation, collaboration et prise de risque. Lorenzo Bianchi Hoesch développe depuis longtemps un langage original d'improvisation avec l'ordinateur, en créant ses propres outils informatiques, et en utilisant de nombreuses interfaces. Il s'agit donc de bâtir un réel dialogue entre les deux musiciens dans lequel, si la Kora est la source de tout, l'électronique est le développement, la résonance, et la forme. L'interplay est donc un mot-clé pour ce projet, et la méthode de recherche même, le noyau du processus de création. Un dernier aspect fondamental est l'immersion sonore.

Are You A Presence That Strengthens? | Pastor Kaira Redding by Highlight Church

In this episode Dr. Wagoner and I discuss hygienic behavior of honey bees and how beekeepers are using UBeeO to select for high hygienic honey bee queens. ______________________________________________ Support my work: https://www.insidethehive.tv/offers/rozVB5Y2 Support our sponsor: Vita Bee Health: https://www.vita-europe.com/beehealth/ Optera website: https://opterabees.com/shop/ Coupon: InsideTheHiveTV Thanks for listening!

One of my OG guests, Kaira Rouda is back! We reunited to chat her latest novel, Under the Palms. A storm on the horizon, the Kingsleys and a fab hotel are all the ingredients for this beach read. I was so excited to chat with Kaira again. She is so inspiring!

(#276) In this enlightening episode, we are joined by Dr. Kaira Wagoner of Optera, who introduces us to groundbreaking research in bee hygiene. Kaira shares her extensive study on hygienic behavior in honey bees, a critical trait that helps colonies combat pathogens like varroa mites and various bee diseases. This episode not only dives deep into the science behind bee hygiene but also discusses how beekeepers can apply these insights practically. Our hosts, Jeff and Becky, engage Kaira in a detailed discussion about her latest invention, UBeeO, a tool designed to assess the hygienic behavior of bee colonies efficiently. This revolutionary assay allows beekeepers to identify and breed from colonies that naturally exhibit strong hygienic traits, thus potentially reducing the need for chemical treatments against pests and diseases. Listeners will gain an understanding of how UBeeO works and its implications for bee health management and queen breeding practices. Dr. Wagoner explains the concept of "hygienic behavior" and how it enables bees to detect and eliminate brood affected by health issues, enhancing the overall resilience of the hive. This episode is particularly valuable for beekeepers interested in sustainable practices and those looking to enhance the genetic traits of their bee colonies through selective breeding. Whether you're a backyard beekeeper or manage a large apiary, the insights offered by Kaira will inspire you to consider new strategies for maintaining healthy bees Links and websites mentioned in this episode: Optera: https://opterabees.com Honey Bee Health Coalition Varroa Management: https://honeybeehealthcoalition.org/resources/varroa-management/ Honey Bee Obscura Podcast: https://honeybeeobscura.com     ______________   Betterbee is the presenting sponsor of Beekeeping Today Podcast.

Is it possible to learn to spot which state your nervous system is in and move from suboptimal states to much better ones? The subject of how to work with your own nervous system is called Polyvagal Theory and today's guests Deb Dana & Kaira Jewel Lingo will give us a primer on what that exactly means. They will also talk about how our nervous systems are connected to the nervous systems of other people, and how we can learn to co-regulate our systems for the betterment of others. Deb Dana is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, who is a clinician, consultant and author specializing in complex trauma. Her work is focused on using the lens of Polyvagal Theory to understand and resolve the impact of trauma, and creating ways of working that honor the role of the autonomic nervous system. She has written several books, including Anchored: How to Befriend Your Nervous System Using Polyvagal Theory. Kaira Jewel Lingo is a Dharma teacher with a lifelong interest in spirituality and social justice. After living as an ordained nun for 15 years in Thich Nhat Hanh's monastic community, Kaira Jewel now teaches internationally in the Zen lineage and the Vipassana tradition, as well as in secular mindfulness, with a focus on activists, Black, Indigenous, and People of Color, artists, educators, families, and youth. She is author of We Were Made for These Times: Ten Lessons for Moving Through Change, Loss, and Disruption. This is the third installment of our series called, The Art and Science of Keeping Your Sh*t Together. In each episode we bring together a meditative adept or Buddhist scholar and a respected scientist. The idea is to give you the best of both worlds to arm you with both modern and ancient tools for regulating your emotions.In this episode we talk about:The basics of Polyvagal TheoryA fascinating and easily graspable concept from Buddhist psychology called, “store consciousness”The interconnectedness of our nervous systems and the responsibility that creates for all of usHow to handle being annoyedWhat happens when we beat ourselves up with “shoulds,” and how to stop doing thatThe value of simply knowing, in the moments when you're stuck, that those moments are impermanentHow to allow your suffering to inform your lifeThe value of “micro-moments”Two ways of caring for painful states without suppressing themAnd the power of action and service in overcoming anxietyFull Shownotes: www.tenpercent.com/podcast-episode/deb-dana-kaira-jewel-lingo-522See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
