How to make a mind movie: I got this idea from Mazer:


What is a vision board?: This is where you put pictures of what you want and words, and affirmations on a big poster board.

Look at all these photos of what you want and get inspired.

There could be things like a:

- a dream house

- a vacation 

- a relationship

- money

My opinion: I have a vision board in my home office.  It's mostly complete, but there is some blank space.  

I always liked making collages since I was a teen with my sister's old teen magazines.

I started this vision board in 2019. 


What is mind movie?: This where you put pictures, videos of what you want and words, and affirmations into a video format.

Write all the affirmations in positive way.  No hidden negatives.

Bad: "No toxic work environment."

Good: "I work in a supportive work environment."

You can put pictures of yourself or someone who looks like you doing things that you want to do.

When you watch this mind movie, you will be inspired and hypnotized to achieve your goals.


Canva: You can go on this website for free.  There are all these templates where you can create videos.

If you want some pictures there, you may have to pay to remove the Canva watermark.

My opinion: I really like this website.  When I saw the commercials for this, I thought this is for people making presentations for school and work.  However, I do like this for my personal mind movies.

I had fun making these mind movies.

My opinion: This website is all high quality free stock photos and videos that you can use for your website or anything.  I really like this site and have been using this.

Creative arts: I haven't really done anything creative like artistic since I attended NAIT's Graphic Communications in 2004-2005.

Creative writing: I hardly ever write anything for my scripts.

I hardly write much for my blog except the "my week" part and my opinions on news articles.

Apr. 15, 2023 "Ryan Reynolds ‘Gobsmacked & Emotional As All Hell’ After Receiving Humanitarian Honour At Canadian Screen Awards": Today I found this article by Brent Furdyk on MSN:

Ryan Reynolds is "gobsmacked and emotional as all hell" after being honoured for his humanitarian work by the Canadian Academy during this year's Canadian Screen Awards.

The "Deadpool" star was on hand for the Comedic & Dramatic Arts Awards portion of this year's awards, held Friday night at Meridian Hall in Toronto.

The ceremony concluded four days of in-person events honouring the achievements of Canadian talent in film, television and digital media.

Reynolds took to the stage to accept this year's Humanitarian Award, accompanied by Everett Ho and Lisa Charendoff of SickKids Foundation. "The prestigious honour is presented to an individual in recognition of an extraordinary humanitarian contribution or act of compassion," notes the Canadian Academy of the award.

Reynolds later took to social media to share his gratitude for the award, along with some photos from the evening, in addition to a few taken during his visit to Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children earlier in the day.

"Thank you @thecdnacademy for this incredible honour tonight," wrote Reynolds in an Instagram post. "The day started with a visit to @sickkidsvs with the always magical, @lcharendoff — and finished in a fancy tux, surrounded by some of the smartest, most innovative Canadian artists — all under one roof. I was gobsmacked and emotional as all hell."



Apr. 17, 2023 "Rogers to move 300 international Shaw call centre jobs to Western Canada": Today I found this article on BNN Bloomberg:

Rogers Communications Inc. announced Monday it will relocate around 300 Shaw call centre jobs based overseas to Canada after completing its $26-billion acquisition of the carrier earlier this month.

The positions will be located in B.C., Alberta and Manitoba, where Rogers has pledged to boost the number of "customer-facing" jobs.

As part of a set of conditions Ottawa attached to its approval of the merger with Shaw Communications Inc., Rogers must create 3,000 new jobs in Western Canada.

All Rogers customer service positions have been based in Canada since 2020, when it announced it transitioned 150 remaining foreign call centre jobs to Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick.



My opinion: That's good news that there are jobs in Canada.

"Young Canadians faring well, earning more in today's economy: Desjardins": Today I found this article by Nojoud Al Mallees on BNN Bloomberg:

Young, educated workers today are earning more than in previous generations, according to a new report from Desjardins.  

But it's not all rosy for young Canadians, with women in particular facing declining mental health and ongoing barriers in the labour market.


There are also more young people from lower-income families pursuing post-secondary education today than in previous generations. For those who come from families in the bottom 20 per cent of income earners, enrolment increased 28 per cent. That's compared with a 10 per cent increase in enrolment for young Canadians from families in the top 20 per cent of income earners. 



Apr. 18, 2023 "Canada Needs a National Strategy for Eye Care": I got this email and I signed this.  Please sign this:

Dear friend,

We’re writing to ask your support of Bill C-284, an Act to establish a National Strategy for Eye Care.

On April 28, Bill C-284, introduced by the Honourable Judy A. Sgro, PC, Member of Parliament for Humber River-Black Creek, will have its second reading and be voted on in the House of Commons.

This is the next step in the process to make a Bill a law.

We are asking the entire vision loss community to lend their voice to ensure that a National Strategy for Eye Care becomes a reality. Even if you have emailed your MP in the past, please send another email to support this crucial moment in time.
Show your support by sending an email to your MP!
Over eight million Canadians – one in five – are living with an eye condition that puts them at significant risk of blindness.

Vision is an essential part of everyday life, but vision health has been under-funded and deprioritized in Canada for too long. Many Canadians are put at unnecessary risk of vision loss because they do not have the timely access to regular eye examinations or treatments.

Unlike many other countries, Canada does not have a dedicated Vision Health Desk in the Public Health Agency of Canada or adequate vision research funding.

A National Strategy for Eye Care will lead to better care, outcomes, quality of life, and will support Canadian leadership in vision research.

Fighting Blindness Canada, in partnership with other vision organizations including the Canadian Council of the Blind, CNIB, Vision Loss Rehabilitation Canada, Diabetes Canada, the Canadian Association of Optometrists, and the Canadian Ophthalmological Society is advocating for a National Strategy on Eye Care.

Apr. 20, 2023  "BuzzFeed shutting down News division, laying off 15% of all staff":
Today I found this article by Pete Evans on CBC.  I don't really read Buzzfeed.  I'm interested in this article because it's about journalism:

BuzzFeed Inc. is shutting down its news division and cutting its workforce by 15 per cent.

The company made the news in an email to staff on Thursday from CEO Jonah Peretti, who said the cuts will amount to around 180 people. Some of those in the axed News unit will move over to the HuffPost brand, which the company acquired in 2020.

It's the second round of layoffs since December at the company, when the company cut 12 per cent of its work force.

"I made the decision to overinvest in BuzzFeed News because I love their work and mission so much," Peretti told staff. "This made me slow to accept that the big platforms wouldn't provide the distribution or financial support required to support premium, free journalism purpose-built for social media."

BuzzFeed produces news, videos and online quizzes for free, and is supported by advertising revenue and brand partnerships.

No profitability, despite many readers and viewers

Dwayne Winseck, a professor in the journalism program at Carleton University in Ottawa, says that BuzzFeed is a great example of what's ailing the media industry.

"It's been kind of an icon of the Internet era from its launch in 2006 until now, and it's contained the best and the worst of those ... last 17 years," he told CBC News in an interview.

According to ComScore data, BuzzFeed was the third most-trafficked website in Canada in 2021. "It has great reach," Winseck said. "The problem here was that people visiting the sites, their attention was rather shallow [and] very short term and there's just really no revenue attached to it."

The company's financial documents show that it took in $436 million in revenue last year, but failed to turn a profit. And it never has since going public in 2021.

The company recently started using AI technology to build some of their popular online quizzes and lists, but Peretti says none of the jobs lost on Thursday are being replaced by AI.

Apr. 16, 2023 My used computers: 

My dad bought a 2018 used PC from Chinatown last month.  The brand is Asus.  I have never heard of this brand.  Last week I asked him if he could set it up.  On the day I asked him, coincidentally my 2013 Lenova computer stopped working.  It worked fine in the morning, but when I turned it on in the afternoon it stopped working.  It kind of takes like 5 minutes to load up when you turn it on and it freezes here and there.

I posted this on Facebook and emailed some of my friends on there: 

Hi, my dad bought a 2018 used PC and it's pretty fast. However, I can't activate the printer. I followed the Microsoft instructions online, and activated the device printer. I tried to print from the website and a document from WordPad, and it can't print. Do you know how?

My printer is a Brother HL- 2770DW

Add a printer or scanner in Windows

If your printer connects by a wire, plug it into your device. It'll connect automatically, your PC will download the right drivers, and you can use it right away. To connect a wireless printer, follow these steps:

  1. Select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Devices Printers & scanners Add a printer or scanner.

    Open Printers & scanners settings

  2. Wait for it to find nearby printers, then choose the one you want to use, and select Add device. If you want to remove the printer later, just highlight it and select Remove.

  3. If you don't see your printer, try to fix the problem by using the steps in Fix printer connection and printing problems in Windows.

  4. Add a printer or scanner in Windows - Microsoft Support

If it comes down to it, may you please come over to my house and check to see?

Jessica: You need to download the printer drivers for your pc. Look up the printer model number and look for the driver for whatever windows version you are running on the pc

It said "Driver is unavailable."

Apr. 20, 2023: Today my dad set up another Asus computer. Now we have 2 desktop computers that are working.

Cosmic Pizza: They opened a new location in Capilano. They moved into where the restaurant Pho Bin was from 2006-2021. I checked out the place, but didn't buy anything.
