FACEBOOK OCMI REALESTATE

 

We are rebranding OTBEC to OCMI because of the confusion between all our companies.

Our accountants, bankers, and lawyers continue to lump OTBEC Building Services Inc, OTBEC Property Management Inc, OTBEC Capital Management Inc, and On The Beach Education Corporation under the same OTBEC acronym. 

Hopefully, OCMI Capital Management Inc will differentiate this investment management company from the other entities.

This includes a new Facebook OCMIrealestate page with the latest articles and updates.



AI SEARCH ENGINE

 

Perplexity.ai is the new artificial intelligence search engine platform.

This is an information retrieval tool whereas ChatGPT is a generative platform that allows you to problem solve and create.

The hallucination rate for Perplexity is lower than ChatGPT because Perplexity is designed to reduce linguistic ambiguity.

Google was my default search engine until recently when my laptop kept being bombarded by excessive ads, and spending most of my time deleting unwanted spam ads.

This 16-minute video review explains the different applications between ChatGPT 4.o and Perplexity.



FIRST NATIONS TERRITORY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

 

First Nations territory acknowledgements is an outward form of cultural humility and respect.

Colonialism is the act of acquiring political control over another country and exploiting its resources whereas First Nations believe land is communal in nature and cannot be bought or sold by individuals.

In Canada, the practice of colonialism included the systematic removal of First Nations culture, communities, land, and people by erasing their unique identity.

Japanese Canadians share in the long-term impacts of inter-generational trauma and economic disparities of forced relocation and denial of rights. 

Both communities continue to work towards full equality and recognition of their rights and contributions to Canada. 



DIT DAH OF MORSE CODE

 

Some people have a bucket list of experiences or places to visit at some point in their lives, but as you get older, experiences like skydiving or scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef are no longer appealing. 

So, have you considered writing out a bucket list of things you always wanted to learn?

Learning Morse Code has been on my list since I was a child.

Technology has advanced such that you can now learn Morse Code online for free.

Each lesson is broken down into 60 second listening tests up to a maximum 10 tests.

Consider 26 letters plus 9 numbers = 35 distinct dit-dah codes: this gives you 10 days per code, and by the end of the year, you will have acquired a new skill.

Learning Morse Code is part of my 1-degree challenge over the next 365 days.



BENEFITS OF SKIPPING

 

Skipping rope is another 1-degree challenge in the health category. 

Remember the days when the hula-hoop was popular?

But a skipping rope is much easier to transport.

My primary focus on the benefits of skipping rope is the high-intensity interval training health benefits.

This beginner video shows the top 20 most common jumps.

To size the jump rope to your height, fold the rope in half, step on the folded end, stand straight, hold the handles to your body, the rope cable (not the handles) should align with your armpit.

This video explains the 5 most common jump rope mistakes and how to correct it.
