hey it's patti scharf CPA and co-founder of catching clouds the leader in
e-commerce accounting welcome back to another Saturday slow down where I like
to remind everybody to work on their business and not just in their business
today I'm talking about women in business I started this topic last week
what really drove this was for years I've been thinking you know why aren't
more women in the upper echelon of management positions leadership position
CEO roles the you know any of those c-level positions in business like why
why are there so few women compared to men and last week I and you can see the
video here I talked about self-limiting beliefs so as part of the reason really
we have to kind of take responsibility for our own internal dialogue what is it
we're telling ourselves what what's keeping us from expecting more of
ourselves trying more trying to you know break out of that mold today I want to
talk about the external factors what what I'd like to call the real world so
this is not gonna be talked about sexual harassment there's no me to stuff
there's no triggering stuff it's just a couple of stories that I want to share
from my own personal experience these both happen within the last two or three
years so it's not like this is 20 years old or anything like that that this kind
of stuff is going on still so let me start with my first story first a little
bit of background on me I grew up pretty much a total tomboy I I have a brother
who's three days short of be me or older than me and we every neighborhood we
lived in there it was just full of boys there but there was no girl anywhere
anywhere it was it was just me playing cops and robbers and playing football
and playing Legos and matchbox car Matchbox cars and things like that so it
was just me and the guys hanging out all the time from when I was a wee little
kid all the way up through high school and into college like all my best
friends they were they were guys so I was absolutely in my element I was at
this conference it was somewhere tropical so there there was like a pool
and stuff like that and a bunch of guys were hanging out so there were like four
guys including Scott and me hanging out in this pool we're just tossing a ball
around and chit-chatting and like each other a hard time whatever and then
one of the guys guy number one is like hey Scott guy number two and I challenge
guy number three and you to a game of cornhole and I'm like alright I guess
this is the part where I become invisible and you know but that's fine
I'm like totally used to just hanging out and watching guys flex muscles and
crap like that so so we all get out of the pool they start playing cornhole and
I'm just sitting on the sidelines kind of watching and stuff and then guide
number one orders a round of beer for the guys and I'm like seriously and so
and it doesn't even really drink beer that much like once like maybe once
every three months he might have a beer I am a much bigger fan of beer than he
is so the beer comes and so I stand up this is so passive-aggressive I'm kind
of embarrassed about it but I stand up and I go over I take a drink of the beer
or sit down and you know put it down and go sit down so at this point guy number
one is mortified like so mortified I felt bad for him because I know he is
the nicest of guys he did not do it on purpose it was not intentional in any
way shape or form okay he immediately like offered to buy me a beer and
everything else it was it was not a problem
but here's the point women are being excluded without anybody even really
realizing it deals aren't made in the boardroom they are made out on the golf
course they're made at cornhole they're made at the bar after work whatever like
this is where the guys are congregating this is how they're becoming friends
everybody wants to work with their friends and I can't fault them for
wanting to build camaraderie or make deals with their friends but the problem
is when you're consciously or unconsciously excluding women from your
reindeer games they get excluded from the boardroom
that's just natural so it's no wonder that women aren't advancing at the same
rate as the men okay here's my second story
so a couple of years back I went to a conference and during the conference
there was a women in business breakfast and I attended it and was really excited
about it because you know this is kind of my hot-button issue and they had some
great panelists had great points lots of ideas for helping to advance women in
the accounting industry and at the end of the breakfast I raised my hand
because I had this question that had been eating at me since the day before
because the day before they announced the outside leadership board basically
people would apply to be on this like outside council kind of thing to to help
like provide feedback and direction of where the company should go and things
like that and LA and previous years there had been
like 20 percent women on on this leadership board and the day before the
breakfast they announced the new people on the board and there were only 25%
women again like the day before they had a whole breakfast on women in business
so I raised my hand and I was like look I think it's really important to have
women in positions of leadership to help create the direction of where you want
the company to go you know so if you're gonna create this board shouldn't you
have 50% women like duh and and the response was that not enough women had
applied and that they hadn't applied they suspected they didn't apply because
women don't have enough support systems in place that women can't travel because
they don't have they have a problem getting childcare and things like that
so they can't travel and if you can't travel you can't be on this board and
you don't if you don't have support systems in place and you can't network
and basically you can't do that things that are required of you to
participate on this board now up until that point I was just kind
of annoyed and concerned but when we got to the response that I got I was livid I
was like this close to leaving the conference because I was so pissed and
let me tell you why number one this was said in a roomful of like
standing-room-only women who had traveled to this conference to improve
their knowledge to network with other people that many of them I'm sure had
were away from their kids or you know they had to come up with some kind of
childcare or something like that so some of these like lack of support systems
thing was just kind of disingenuous at best and then the other issue of not
enough women applying I applied so and then after I asked the question somebody
came up to me and said thank you very much for asking that question because I
applied and I didn't get an answer why I just I got a rejection but I didn't know
why I was too rejected and I didn't care that I wasn't on the board because
honestly that year was like the worst year possible for me I was like so
insanely busy when I found out I wasn't on it I was like oh thank god I'm not on
it but like Scott had been on it before and he's not even an accountant and I
just and and it's totally possible that they had had their fill of catching
clouds representation I am good with that but the fact that the answer of
there wasn't 50% women on the board was because women didn't apply basically
what was happening was they were blaming women for their own lack of
representation on the board which just pushed me over the
like I'm still kind of ticked off about it but my whole point here is that women
are showing up they may not be showing up in the sheer quantities that men are
showing up but when they are showing up we need to support them we need to give
them a little nudge and and hear what they have to say and by all means
include them in in situations where you can so this was absolutely a situation
where they should have and could've walked their talk that's it now with all
that said I know that there's more to be done and I'm I'm not quite sure what
that looks like yet I'm still kind of simmering on that if you have any
suggestions or groups that you're involved in or something like that
please leave comments down below I'd love to hear it
it seems like a lot of the organizations that I found or even some of the
conference's that I've seen they're really geared more towards people who
are like accountants in a big for and how to like work your way up to the top
of that whereas I'm just in this small business that I already pretty much run
myself so with a little help from Scott and so I guess maybe my contribution for
the moment is just ranting and raving about inequalities on YouTube but I I
don't want it to be just that I want it to be more than that I just don't know
what that looks like yet so I would love to hear from you tell me if there's
anything you're involved in any ideas you have or anything like that just
leave them in the comments below and that's it for today I hope you liked
this video if you did please like comment and share if you haven't already

Buddhism Takes Hold | History of Japan 26 - Duration: 6:09.
After Buddhism came to Japan in the Asuka Period, this foreign religion became like
your girlfriend when you switch her TV channel to a football game.
It blew up.
The upper class in Japan couldn't get enough of this hot new religion started by a starving
guy with groovy hair.
The Japanese used to build impressive burial mounds called kofun.
They were huge symbols of power for the clan chieftains buried underneath.
As Buddhism got more popular, these kofun got smaller and smaller and smaller and smaller
until they stopped building them altogether.
It turned out that large, lively Buddhist temples commanded much more respect and awe
than burial mounds.
In a way, the temples replaced burial mounds as a source of bragging rights.
Temples were often created after the death of important clan chieftains.
It made sense, instead of a burial mound, I'd rather have a temple built in my honor
where people can come from faraway to visit and worship and secretly cheat on their spouses.
Yeah, that happened.
People were away from home and familiar eyes, you think they wouldn't bone?
When looking at the spread of Buddhism, we must remember that it wasn't just about
religion, it was also about politics.
Buddhism was used by many sides to bolster their power.
One of those sides was the Soga clan.
They championed the adoption of Buddhism in Japan and used it as a way to gain authority.
Under Soga patronage, Buddhist worship was not all that different from the native worship
that the Japanese believed in.
Buddhist temples held religious rites that promised benefits in this world, and they
performed rituals honoring dead ancestors.
Both practices were common in kami worship.
What helped Buddhism spread quickly was its doctrine of Ooh Shiny!
You see, Buddhist worship used religious objects imported from advanced, faraway lands.
These objects had an air of wonder and mystery, and made people think they could perform powerful
magic.
At the time, the emperor was the spiritual leader of kami worship.
This gave the Imperial Family serious spiritual power, which translates into serious influence
in the real world.
The Soga hungered for that influence.
They thought that if the Japanese court adopted Buddhism, since they were the chief clan associated
with Buddhism, they could end up at the top.
Maybe even above the emperor, if Buddhism were to somehow supplant kami worship.
Unfortunately for the Soga, their constant promotion of the gospel worked too well.
Empress Suiko's second-in-command, Prince Shotoku, embraced the Buddhist philosophy.
No, he bear-hugged it.
The student had become the master.
He was even more devout than the Soga leaders.
At the time, Prince Shotoku was taking steps to change Japan from a loose collection of
clans into a centralized state, but it's not clear where he thought Buddhism fit into
his plans.
It could be that he saw it as religious support for his new government.
Buddhism was friendly to the idea of a state with a strong leader.
Or it could be that he elevated Buddhism above all else.
It transcended worldly affairs and they needed to adopt it because everyone should accept
the truth of Buddhism.
Either way, he was devout.
And his son, Prince Yamashiro, did not fall far from the Bodhi tree.
This helps us understand why the Soga blocked Prince Yamashiro's butt from touching the
throne.
The Soga leaders feared that the Buddhists would rally around the Imperial Family instead
of the Soga clan.
It's a testament to Yamashiro's faith, or foolishness, that he refused to fight for
his own candidacy.
Shotoku, on his deathbed, preached to his children:
"Avoid every kind of evil and practice every kind of good."
Yamashiro cited his father's words and said he would be patient, not angry.
Well, he would be dead, it turned out.
Something he didn't consider apparently.
After the Soga fell from grace in 645, their fears came true.
The Imperial Family drove the spread of Buddhism, taking patronage of Buddhist temples away
from the Soga.
It was a time of political change, when the Imperial Family was trying to forge a powerful
centralized government.
Temples and Buddhist worship became a way to increase state authority, like in China
and Korea.
Buddhist leaders at this time gave lip service to Buddhist teachings, but mostly concerned
themselves with ceremonies that were supposed to grant real-world benefits.
They focused more on public spectacles and making impressive statues and art.
The Japanese emperors faced an interesting problem balancing Buddhist and kami worship.
The emperor's spiritual authority came from the fact that he or she was the high priest
of kami worship.
Promote Buddhism too much and it may replace the native religion, which would demolish
a key pillar of their power.
They needed the two religions to coexist.
When emperor Tenmu came to power in 672, he made his own contributions.
He paid stipends to Buddhist priests and nuns, and hosted Buddhist retreats at the Imperial
palace.
Across Japan, Buddhist leaders gave speeches on sutras that propped up the state.
Tenmu expanded the state temple system to the provinces, and ordered Buddhist chapels
to be built in the homes of every aristocrat and local official.
They were required to worship, make offerings regularly, and once a month shove a figurine
of Buddha down their throats repeatedly, for enlightenment.
Tenmu was mainly concerned with strengthening the state, but he did personally worship the
healing Buddha, or the Medicine Buddha, who was a Buddhist figure that could heal the
sick.
He even had a temple built to honor him.
When Tenmu fell sick, he must have gained some comfort in praying to the Medicine Buddha.
Tenmu died from his illness, but worship of the Medicine Buddha spread and became an important
part of Buddhism in Japan.
By the end of the Asuka Period, Buddhism had taken hold and would forever be a part of
Japanese culture.

Hello everyone. It's Lou. We find ourselves today in
Minecraft where we will talk about enchantments.
I take you to start in my secret base and in the library
municipal that I designed especially for this episode with the tables
of enchantment and around the libraries.
We will do all this in mode survival. So, not exactly the same
library. We need about fifteen
library around the table of enchantment to be able to enchant
properly our equipment. We let's start by looking for
sugar cane because with this cane to sugar we will make paper and
paper will be at the base to create books.
We will also need leather for to make books and wood to make
libraries.
You still have the craft that appear.
We will go get good leather. There are kids watching so I'm going
to make a small ellipse, we will not show the whole scene ...
We also need lapis lazuli for create the enchantment table, so
direction the mine at the high level between level 10 and level 12 of your
map. we will also have to mine with
our diamond pick
and he'll also need some diamond.
Ah, the inventory is full.
That's the craft of the enchanting table. We will be able to
to make a pickaxe for example that we let's go and enchant. Here we put the pickaxe
in the enchanting table with the lapis lazuli be at least level 30
to make enchantments interesting and every time you
will enchant an object, you will lose some levels. We can also
to enchant books. Interesting also to to do as you are there for
repair your equipment and well a anvil.
This will require blocks of iron and with the anvil you go
ability to repair equipment that is damaged
by placing the equipment in the anvil.
And that's it for this video. A like if you liked.

Blind Man's Sight is Restored in Epic Miracle! (Nick: Part 3) - Duration: 5:08.
I'm Nick and this is my true story I don't remember a time in my life where I
was like given the gift of healing I just read the Bible and it said you will
pray for people and they'll get healed and I said okay I'll pray for people and
you know it wasn't like very first thing oh they're getting healed like I've been
praying for people who weren't healed for like three years before I've seen anybody get
healed which was like kind of a battle for me because I'm like why isn't this
happening but just this past year honestly is when I started seeing that
breakthrough you know so there's a lot of battling and faith that goes into it
but I can't deny that it happened or has happened but what the Bible says right
there's this one guy kind of the same context we were in a church different
Church than the other lady and instead of us going out to the people that
raised their hands we just got and I think there's 12 of us or we gotten 12
people in each person a translator and whoever had pain or emotional torment or
whatever it was needed healing for that would come up line up and in front of
all of us and then we would just go through and pray for whoever's
in front of
us and this one guy came up and he was completely blind in his right eye and he
had glasses so his left eye wasn't any better
because he had glasses obviously but I remember just putting up three fingers I
just held three fingers in front of his face like this and then I'd have him
cover his his left eye the whole time he I asked him if he could see it and he
was like no I can't see anything I can see like a little white dot in the
middle of my vision but everything around that is just black and from there
I was like okay well let's pray first couple times that we were praying it was
still like well nothing's really happening I raised me fingers up again
and he would said no I don't know how many fingers you're holding up looks like two,
maybe four and I was like holding up like one. I was like, okay you
really can't see dude so you know I just kept praying and that that went along
for about 20 minutes the first five
ten minutes we're like all right kind of getting discouraged like there's nothing
happening and it kinda sucks and then God just like little by little you know
just like getting this little tiny bit breakthrough and at first it was like
moving from six inches away to a foot away and by the end of it I was about 25
20 25 feet away from him and he was just like like how many fingers am I holding up?
He's just like, "Two!" Yeah, it was tight I was like dang this is awesome yeah so that
was really cool like God kind of repairing his vision enough to where he
could see from 6 inches to 20 feet away I was like that's wild
and it was funny because just that night I was talking to my friend before that
and I was like, man I just want to see like an awesome miracle like a big miracle and
she like just prayed over me and she was just like, God we just pray that he
can he can see someone that's blind see tonight you know and it was like whoa
all right God like listens to our prayers it's just like so that was like really
personally it was just like really touching to me because it was like man
God hears me listens to me and says son here you go
you know it's nothing crazy but there's a little miracle for you

F 35 LIGHTNING II BEATS COMPETITORS TO GET 13th CUSTOMER - Duration: 5:05.
On Oct 25, 2018, Belgian Defense Minister Steven Vandeput formally announced that Belgium
will go with Lockheed Martin's F-35A Joint Strike Fighter.
The deal will be worth around $4 billion though the exact details are not available.
Mr. Vandeput said that Lockheed Martin's offer was around $684.5 million less than
what his government had budgeted, but did not confirm the total figure.
The F35s will replace the country's F 16 fleet, deliveries are expected to start in 2023.
This marks a major victory for F 35 program and Lockheed Martin as it now has its 13th customer.
In this video, Defense Updates analyzes Belgium's decision to buy 34 F 35A
Let's get started.
Belgium's Air Force has 50 F-16 Viper fighter jets.The F16s were originally purchased in
the 1980s and were later upgraded to F-16AM/BM Block 20 MLU standard in early 2000s.
Belgian defense analysts came to the conclusion that these will reach the end of life by 2028.
Belgium Authorities decided not to upgrade the F16s in order to extend their lifecycle
and instead go for a new fighter jet.
In June 2014, Belgian Defense Air Combat Capability Successor Program was launched to find a replacement.
Initially, it was decided to buy 40 aircraft instead of the current 34.
The main competitor in the fray was Eurofighter Typhoon from European consortium, which includes
Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom.
Boeing & Saab had backed out from the completion earlier.
Boeing had reservations about the terms of the competition whereas Saab was not interested
in providing elaborate after sales support.
France's Dassault had considered making a bid but ultimately did not.
As per reports, an informal offer to purchase Rafale fighter jets was made.
Belgian defense minister told reporters that the F-35A came up top on the 7 parameters
laid out by the country.
Though he didn't elaborate on all the factors, pricing was mentioned.
Viewers may note that F-35A's unit price falls below $90 million for the first time
after Pentagon signed a deal with Lockheed Martin for 141 more F-35s in September 2018.
Each 4th generation Eurofighter Typhoon costs more than $100 million apiece.
There are many reasons that make F 35A a good choice for Belgium other than the pricing factor.
1.The 5th generation F 35A wins over 4ht generation fighter in the aspect of stealth.
The will help the Belgium Air Force to penetrate deep into enemy territory.
2. F35s are being deployed by 6 more NATO nations and Lockheed is working to establish depot-level
maintenance and assembly facilities in Europe.
This will enable very good after-sales support.
3. Lockheed Martin has indicated that it has offered significant industrial cooperation
opportunities to the Belgians.
This will go a long way to offset the F-35s purchase and maintenance costs.
4.Last but not the least]important aspect is nuke delivery.
As per reports, America has around 20 B61 nuclear gravity bombs at the Belgian Air Component's
base at Kleine Brogel.
In case of any eventualities, U.S military would provide these to Belgians Air Force
who could then use them in a raid.
Belgium's current crop of F 16 has the equipment necessary for this role and are certified
as B 61 delivery platform.
F35A will eventually be capable to fly with B 61 but this is not the case with other competing
fighters including the Typhoon.
The B 61 nuke is a powerful deterrent.
The bomb's exact power remain classified though some reports indicate it has a maximum
yield of approximately 50 kilotons.
The destructive power can be gauged by the fact that Hiroshima's "Little Boy" bomb
had a yield of 13-18 kilotons whereas Nagasaki's "Fat Man" bomb had a yield of 20–22 kilotons of TNT.
