Randi Zuckerberg calls out passenger who made repeated lewd remarks on flight(图1)

Randi Zuckerberg has alleged that a man seated next to her on a flight sexually harassed her repeatedly. But when she told a flight attendant, her complaint was brushed off.

Zuckerberg, CEO of Zuckerberg Media and sister of Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, tweeted(opens in a new tab) a letter she sent to Alaska Airlines' CEO Brad Tilden, relating the incident.

Zuckerberg said she was seated in first class on a three-hour Alaska Airlines flight from Los Angeles to Mazatlan on Wednesday. The man seated next to her started talking "about touching himself, kept asking me if I fantasised about the female business colleague I was travelling with, rated and commented on the women's bodies boarding the aircraft."

After she complained, however, flight attendants told her the man is a frequent flier, and that she shouldn't "take it personally."

She was offered a change of seat too, but decided later she shouldn't be the one having to move.

"I'm even more furious with Alaska Airlines for knowingly and willingly providing this man with a platform to harass women...[and] being more concerned with taking his money than for the safety and security of the other passengers around him," she wrote.

About an hour and a half after she tweeted her letter, which got nearly a thousand shares in the time, Zuckerberg posted an update saying Alaska Airlines has temporarily suspended the passenger's frequent traveller status, and are conducting an investigation.

Most people reacted in disgust, with many applauding Zuckerberg for coming forward so publicly.

But some cynical commenters said it could be Zuckerberg's influential status that got Alaska Airlines to react so swiftly.

6 travel tech trends you can expect in 2023
6 travel tech trends you can expect in 2023
The pandemic may still be rearing its ugly head, but travel is back(Opens in a new tab) in a big way.
While bingeing our favorite shows and working from home, we've been plotting our next wanderlust destinations. At the same time, travel and tech companies have been quickly evolving with the times to develop technologies like AI, biometrics, and remote work solutions to enhance or improve the travel experience. That's setting up 2023 for a big year in travel. Here are some of the top travel tech trends we expect to see in 2023.
1. Airports getting a tech upgrade
Expect to see a whole lot more technology designed to make airport travel easier. From before you even leave your house to baggage claim, new technologies are stepping in to address the headaches that come with flying. Clear now offers a free online tool called Reserve to book your spot in the security line ahead of time. Of course, Clear also hopes you'll sign up for its paid membership, which offers identity verification and expedited security using biometrics (eye or fingerprint scanning).
SEE ALSO: Holiday travel savings tips: How to fly smarter and spend less money

The Transportation Security Administration is expanding its biometrics pilot. TSA is testing(Opens in a new tab) facial recognition technology in 16 airports for identity verification and plans to expand the program to more airports in the "coming months."
Once you're through the security line, your face and hands will be put to work a lot more for buying snacks and magazines, per a 2023 travel trend report from Amadeus(Opens in a new tab). ApplePay and GooglePay already offer payments authorized by facial recognition technology. But this year, your favorite airport store Hudson partnered with Amazon(Opens in a new tab) to begin testing its "Just Walk Out" technology, which accepts payment with palm recognition.
Once you've touched down at your destination, companies like Boomerang(Opens in a new tab), SITA(Opens in a new tab), and Roadie(Opens in a new tab) will help you track, recover, and deliver your lost luggage.
We're all for a hassle-free flying experience, but the use of biometric data and personal item tracking comes with privacy risks. False biometric identification (which is more prevalent amongst people of color(Opens in a new tab) and trans and nonbinary people(Opens in a new tab)) and data breaches are factors to take into account. Plus, the TSA biometric pilot is currently opt-in, but programs like this often become the norm. "We often see with these biometric programs that they are only optional in the introductory phases — and over time we see them becoming standardized and nationalized and eventually compulsory," privacy advocate Albert Fox Cahn told the Washington Post(Opens in a new tab).
Ultimately, it's important to know what you're getting into — and giving away — for a slightly speedier experience.
2. Airbnb continuing its domination
In 2022, Airbnb turned lemons into lemonade. First, it finally resolved the drama about the surprise cleaning fees that aren't added on until checkout. Now when you search for an Airbnb, you have the option of seeing the total amount you would pay, with the cleaning fee included. For good measure, Airbnb also had the final say(Opens in a new tab) on the growing trend of excessive cleanings requests from hosts: "Guests should not have to do unreasonable checkout tasks such as stripping the beds, doing the laundry, or vacuuming when leaving their Airbnb. But we think it’s reasonable to ask guests to turn off the lights, throw food in the trash, and lock the doors — just like they would when leaving their own home."
Second, it finally solved the problem of landlords who banned tenants from Airbnbing their apartment. This had been a huge untapped market for Airbnb, but it turns out cutting landlords in on the deal goes a long way. Now, Airbnb has partnered with property management(Opens in a new tab) companies across the country to create the "Airbnb-friendly apartments(Opens in a new tab)" program. Renters can search the website for apartments that allow Airbnb rentals and see how much they could make as a host — after Airbnb and the landlord gets their cut of the profits. It's a pretty ingenious solution to help people offset the skyrocketing cost of rent that Airbnb contributed to in the first place(Opens in a new tab).
Like or not, Airbnb is going full speed ahead in 2023. With more transparent pricing and more potential Airbnb hosts, the short-term booking platform is expected to be as prevalent as ever. Plus, with travel and real estate prices on the rise, it's all win-win for Airbnb.
3. Our favorite streaming shows inspiring us to get off the couch
If you found yourself wanting to book a trip to Sicily while watching Season 2 of The White Lotus, despite all the scamming and murders, you're not alone. Travel-related searches for the Italian island have skyrocketed(Opens in a new tab) since the second season launched. But this phenomenon isn't just exclusive to The White Lotus. According to Expedia's 2023 travel trends report, 68 percent of US travelers wanted to visit a destination after seeing it in a streamed show or movie, and 61 percent actually booked a trip.
SEE ALSO: The best carry-on luggage for every traveler

Paris (Emily in Paris), the United Kingdom (Bridgerton and The Crown), New Zealand (The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power), and both Hawaii and Italy (thanks to the aforementioned The White Lotus, with an assist from Searching for Italy) were all trending destinations in search and flight demand in 2022, with no signs of slowing down in 2023 per Expedia.
Sure, these are mainstay favorites on the top travel destinations, but the report also says streamed TV shows and movies are now the top sources of travel inspiration, so it's hardly a coincidence.
4. Digital nomads are officially mainstream
Digital nomads have been around for a while, but the surge of remote work during the pandemic has rocketed this lifestyle into the mainstream. Research shows(Opens in a new tab) that hybrid and remote employees have better work-life balance(Opens in a new tab) and are more productive(Opens in a new tab), which has fueled more companies offering these policies.
Now that many workers are no longer location-dependent, they're taking full advantage of the digital nomad lifestyle. And the remote work trend is expected to increase. According to Upwork(Opens in a new tab), 36.2 million Americans will work remotely by 2025, which is double the amount from pre-pandemic times (16.8 million). In fact, Nomad List(Opens in a new tab), a membership platform for digital nomads, predicts by 2035 one billion people will be working remotely at least part of the year. Last year, the platform reported over 4,000,000 users.

Early on, digital nomadism was considered only for privileged, twenty-something dreamers. "You not only need a relatively powerful passport that makes tourist visas seamless to attain, but also a knowledge economy job and access to the technology and devices that make remote working possible," declared The Guardian(Opens in a new tab) back in 2015. But broadband continued to improve globally, flights continued to get cheaper, countries began offering remote work-friendly visas(Opens in a new tab), and there was enough critical mass for digital nomad hubs and co-working spaces to start popping up.

Today, according to Nomad List stats(Opens in a new tab), digital nomads are 44 percent women, 40 percent non-white, an average of 33 years old, and work a variety of jobs, including marketing, UI/UX design, product management, and yes, software development.
Suffice to say, being a digital nomad has never been more attainable.
5. Virtual and augmented reality boosts IRL travel
The pandemic brought travel and tourism to screeching halt, which forced companies to get creative using virtual and augmented reality. "Coming out the other side, the same absorbing technology will be employed to enhance the visitor experience rather than replicate it," said Euronews in its 2023 travel report(Opens in a new tab).
VR/AR was quickly adopted to give sheltered-in-place consumers the virtual travel experience they were craving. Without leaving your house, you could visit museums(Opens in a new tab) and explore sites like Machu Picchu(Opens in a new tab) And now, it's also being used to help travelers research their next vacation spots, as a way to "try before your buy" when choosing hotels and tours, and even a way to book them. As VR/AR becomes increasingly more mainstream thanks to Meta's Quest lineup and Sony's PlayStation 5 (and maybe soon Apple?) offering consumer-friendly VR headsets, expect to see more travel and tourism companies offering VR tours.
Hotel companies like Marriott(Opens in a new tab), Shangri-La(Opens in a new tab), and Holiday Inn(Opens in a new tab) are offering virtual tours of their rooms, and companies like Beeyonder(Opens in a new tab) and Weezy(Opens in a new tab) have cropped up to offer immersive virtual travel experiences. Ultimately, VR/AR for travel is being integrated into every step of the customer journey. Whether you're at home or visiting the real deal, expect VR/AR to cross your path.
6. Getting back to nature in wild new ways (beekeeping!)
If you're sick of all of this tech talk, you're not alone. People want to unplug and recharge — without their devices. After the past few years, it's no surprise that travelers are prioritizing wellness. But they're not just looking for a visit to the spa. According to Hotels.com(Opens in a new tab) (which is owned by Expedia) 53 percent of US travelers in search of wellness activities want something exciting and new. "The trend here is that the same old yoga retreat is out. People are looking for what we're calling a new wave of wellness," said Melanie Fish Head of Global PR, Expedia Group Brands, at Expedia's event revealing its 2023 travel trends.
If you're looking for a wellness escape, expect to see more hotels and tours offering activities like forest bathing (also known as sylvotherapy), foraging, fruit harvesting, and even beekeeping. Alternative wellness destinations are cropping up all over the world. Apparently the US is the top destination for millennials, but Gen Z seems to be more adventurous, preferring Norway, Turkey, Switzerland, Iceland, and Sri Lanka.
Whether you're a digital nomad who has made globe-trotting a way of life or an everyday traveler getting back in the swing of things after a break, these tech trends will be hard at work behind the scenes wherever you are.
How to GIF YouTube videos in 10 simple steps
How to GIF YouTube videos in 10 simple steps
So you're watching a fun video on YouTube. Neat, good for you.
You've seen a moment you really like, and you want to convert that fun little moment from YouTube into a GIF. I get it, pal, GIFs can be fun.
Don't be embarrassed if you don't know where to start. Creating an animated GIF from YouTube is easy and I've broken the process down into 10 very simple steps.
OK then, let's do it.
1. Pull up your YouTube video and copy the link
For demonstration purposes, I'm choosing the "Instagram" sketch from Netflix's(Opens in a new tab) hilariously bonkers, truly wonderful sketch show I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson.
Why? Because I love that show and it is very GIF-able.

2. Go to Giphy.com(Opens in a new tab) and create an account
You don't need a fancy GIF maker or Photoshop to create a GIF from a YouTube video. You just a Giphy account.
I'm assuming here that if you're looking for tips to make a GIF, you do not have a Giphy account. So go ahead and make one. You must have an account to make GIFs on Giphy, which wasn't the case in the past. It's simple: You just need an email address and a password. There are other GIF converters out there, but using Giphy is going to be the easiest path and will leave you with a quality GIF.
3. On Giphy.com, click the "create" icon right beside "Upload in the righthand corner.
It looks like this:

GIPHY create button. Credit: Screenshot / Giphy

4. Paste your YouTube link into the blank space under the title "Add Any URL"
Below is what that'll look like. You can also make GIFs from Vimeo, Giphy, or from videos you have on your computer.

GIPHY gif maker. Credit: Screenshot / giphy

5. Once you paste your link, Giphy will automatically take you to a GIF-maker tool. In this tool you can select the time and duration of your GIF.
So here's where the fun starts. You just have to locate the part of the video you'd like to turn into a GIF, then select the length of the loop. (Note: It may be helpful to toggle around with the timing on YouTube then move the Giphy time-selection tool to where you want it.)
For my demonstration, for instance, I really wanted the moment when Vanessa Bayer's character said, "I hope nobody gulps us," because I find that phrase to be very funny.
On YouTube, I saw that line started around 1:21, so on Giphy, I jumped straight there.

The moment I wanted to capture in gif form. Credit: YouTube / Screenshot / Netflix

6. Cut the GIF to your exact length then hit "Continue to Decorate"
So, after jumping to 1:21 in the video, I found a 1.9 second duration that perfectly captured Bayer's line-delivery while also removing a camera cut that made the loop look weird. Here's what the page will look like.

Hope nobody gulps us. Credit: giphy / screenshot

7. Add captions or any other decoration
For my GIF, I wanted the line: "Hope nobody gulps us." You can play around with filters, animations, fonts, and drawing but I'm keeping it simple here.
I chose a simple "caption" text and yellow font. Here's what that looks like.

8. Scroll down and hit "Continue to Upload" at the bottom right of the page
Here's the button:

Upload giphy. Credit: Giphy / Screenshot

9. Upload your GIF
The "Upload to Giphy" be in the bottom right part of your screen. You can also add relevant tags if you want to make your creation easier to find for others. I put "ITSYL" and "gulp" for mine because why not?

The button you're looking for. Credit: giphy / screenshot

10. Save the image
Right click on the image, and hit "save image as." You can choose a name for it and bam, your GIF is downloaded. You can use that downloaded GIF image anywhere you would normally use a regular image. Giphy also gives you lots of options to share it on all sorts of platforms like Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Instagram, and others.
OK, then there it is. You have a GIF. Hope that helps. Here's mine.
Via Giphy(opens in a new tab)(Opens in a new tab)

It's worth noting Giphy is far from the only tool to make GIFs, it just happens to be my favorite. But here are few other tools to make GIFs out of YouTube videos (and other things) that you can try.
- You can just add "GIF" before the word YouTube in a link. Here's a tutorial(Opens in a new tab) on how this works, but if you take any YouTube video and write the word "GIF" into the URL(Opens in a new tab), it takes you to a GIF editor. It doesn't get much easier than that. If writing GIF into a URL confuses you, the same tool can be found at GIFs.com(Opens in a new tab).
- Giphy also has a Mac app called Giphy Capture(Opens in a new tab), which allows you to screen capture anything and make a GIF out of it. It's a super useful tool if you want to make GIFs that aren't simple YouTube links.
- GIFRun is a tool(Opens in a new tab) that will let you make a GIF out of just about anything, including TikTok.
- Imgflip has a GIF maker(Opens in a new tab) that's slightly more complicated than some of the other options. But it does allow you to play around but more, giving you the ability to change the width the of the video and the frame rate.
- The aptly named Make A GIF allows you to(Opens in a new tab), well, make a GIF. It has an easy to use YouTube-to-GIF tab as well as other options, like Facebook-to-GIF and uploading a GIF.

Lil Nas X accidentally blocks breakfast show camera, charmingly styles it out
Lil Nas X is an international treasure.
And his appearance on BBC Breakfast just cemented that status for all eternity.
After chatting to the two presenters, Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt, the "Old Town Road" rapper walked off set at the end of the interview, but accidentally strolled right in front of the camera.
Presenters Munchetty and Stayt called out to Lil Nas X and asked him to join them on the sofa again.
"Nas can we just say, you just walked right across our camera shot," said Stayt. "You see, you know how to steal the show."
True to form, his response was utterly charming.

People from shithole countries share their accomplishments to prove Trump wrong
In light of President Donald Trump's disgusting and racist comments, people from around the world are sharing their life accomplishments on Twitter.
A report from the Washington Post reveals that in a meeting with lawmakers on Thursday, Trump asked why the United States was accepting immigrants from Haiti, El Salvador, and African countries. The president reportedly asked the room: "Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?"
Trump later suggested the United States should bring in more people from countries like Norway instead.
Now people from regions Trump labeled "shithole countries" are firing back in the best way possible: listing their life accomplishments to counter Trump's close-minded and racist view.

On Monday night, pop star Katy Perry graced the pink carpet at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art wearing a chandelier on her frame.
Designed by Moschino's Jeremy Scott, it was already an impressive-looking if not highly impractical outfit. Yes, even the lights switched on.

Pierce Brosnan is not a celebrity who you'd expect to have an excellent Instagram(Opens in a new tab). Luckily, this ruined world still has a few surprises up its sleeve.
In a moment that really turned being online around for me this week, the former James Bond Instagrammed a video of himself drinking a latte of his own face. It was taken by Brosnan's The Misfits co-star Jamie Chung. (That's who's cracking up at the end.) Give her an Oscar!

View this post on Instagram

(opens in a new tab) (Opens in a new tab)

The clip works for a number of reasons, foremost among which is Brosnan's extremely good smirk as he stirs (not shakes) his own foam visage into oblivion. Then there's the latte itself, which is genuinely Bond-like in appearance. Someone, presumably an employee of the aviation company Jetex(Opens in a new tab), worked really hard on that.

I have now watched the video on a loop close to 70 times, which is the correct number of times. Each visit brings fresh joys: the weirdly textured silver saucer, Brosnan's weird eyebrow thing, Latte Brosnan looking briefly like The Joker when its mouth dissolves. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
If you've had a bad week online, which you have, I recommend you watch it for as long as it takes to feel better. Maybe you will be watching it forever! But that's not such a bad life.

Separation anxiety in dogs can be difficult. Heres how you can help.
Separation anxiety in dogs can be difficult. Heres how you can help.
If you have a dog you're probably familiar with the term separation anxiety.
Over 23 million households in the U.S. welcomed a new pet into their home during the pandemic, according to The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals(Opens in a new tab). With many of us spending way more time at home, it's no surprise that our dogs may be having a hard time as we start to leave the house more.
Separation anxiety can be a serious issue for pets and their owners, but with the right training and resources, it doesn't have to derail you or your dog's life. Here's what you need to know about separation anxiety in dogs.
What is separation anxiety?
Separation anxiety is a condition where a dog becomes extremely stressed when they are separated from their guardian, other close humans, or sometimes even another pet. In a 2019 study(Opens in a new tab) of over 4,000 dogs published in the Journal of Veterinary Behavior, 13 percent were reported to exhibit overt separation anxiety.
Dogs are inherently social animals, which is what makes them great pets and prone to separation anxiety, said Joanne Basinger, director of Andrea Arden Dog Training in New York City. "All dogs have the propensity to develop some sort of separation intolerance or separation anxiety, because they don't want to be left alone," she said. "A healthy well-balanced dog is going to prefer being with its people versus without."

- The WOpet Sprite automatic feeder is a good low-tech option, with some caveats
In a 2014 webinar(Opens in a new tab) presentation, Dr. Nicholas Dodman, a renowned veterinary behaviorist and representative of the Humane Society, said separation anxiety stems from a combination of factors, but "by far and away, the most powerful force is environmental." He goes on to say that just like babies, puppies need to be given lots of love and affection which makes them independent and secure as they grow up. This is why many dogs with separation anxiety tend to have a "shelter or stray background.
What causes separation anxiety?
Dogs experience separation anxiety when something happens that "disrupts the social bond," according to Dodman's webinar. This could be moving homes, children going back to school after vacation, or changing up daily routines.
What are some signs of separation anxiety?
The most common signs of separation anxiety are vocalization, destructive behavior, inappropriate elimination, and not eating while you're away. But separation anxiety is not always so straightforward. "The owners aren’t there to observe the behavior in person, and some of the symptoms can seem like problems with housetraining or boredom," wrote Carly Loyer, PhD, Research Manager on the ASPCA Behavioral Sciences Team, in an email.
Dodman's webinar lists the following as signs of separation anxiety:
- Following (Velcro dog)
- Pre-departure anxiety
- Vocalization (barking, whining)
- Destructive behavior
- Inappropriate elimination
- Pacing
- Houdini Syndrome (trying to escape)
- Self-destructive behavior
- Salivation
- Vomiting
- Psychogenic anorexia (not eating while you're gone)
- Exuberant greeting
Make sure you rule out whether or not it's just puppy behavior or boredom. Credit: Getty Images

What should you do if your dog has separation anxiety
1. Consult with your veterinarian
These symptoms could indicate a variety of issues, so just because your dog is behaving a certain way, doesn't mean it's definitely separation anxiety. That's why it's important to get an official diagnosis for your vet so you can rule out other behavior or medical issues.
2. Consult with a trainer or animal behavioral specialist
If a veterinarian has determined that your dog has no underlying health issues and may have separation anxiety, Basinger recommends consulting with a trainer "so that they could have a consultation that's based on the specifics of their lifestyle, where they live, and their dog's specific behavior." There's a lot of information out there, so rather than having to parse through all of it, she said, "Find a person that they trust to talk through it and come up with a plan. That way, they're really getting the attention that they need for their particulars."
While the pandemic may have contributed to a rise in separation anxiety, it doesn't have to inhibit its treatment. "Many professionals are still offering services virtually during this time," said Loyer, "and luckily separation anxiety is one behavior challenge that lends itself well to virtual coaching."
There's no legal requirement for dog trainers to be certified, but there are several highly reputable qualifications that can help you parse out the good from the bad. Listing all the different certifications here would be like alphabet soup, but as a rule of thumb, look for a trainer that is certified in canine behavior consulting or has a good track record with testimonials from clients.

Helpful tips to prevent or curb separation anxiety
There are preventative measures that you can do to prevent separation anxiety in dogs or stop it from getting worse.
1. Practice healthy boundaries
Many people are still working from home in some capacity, which means now is a good time to start preparing your dog for a future change in routine. Loyer recommends designating some alone time throughout the day.
"Try to leave your home throughout the week – go for a stroll outside or do some yardwork without your pet. Practice with short durations initially so you can make sure your pet is comfortable with you being gone, gradually increasing the duration as much as possible to prepare for longer stretches of time," she wrote.
For those in an apartment, Basinger suggests crating your dog or working in a separate room, "so there's alone time, with you, home."
2. Set your dog up for success
There are a few different approaches to separation anxiety. But for that critical period when you are out of the house, the experts interviewed all emphasized the importance of creating a safe environment where your dog will feel relaxed and comfortable.
What exactly this environment looks like is highly situational, but Dodman recommends a confined space with an open crate they can go into if they want. When creating this environment, he also says to think of the five senses.
For taste, use food puzzles or toys stuffed with high value treats, like peanut butter, liver, or frozen wet food so that it becomes a dog lollipop. Smell has some overlap with taste, and Dodman and Loyer both suggest hiding treats for them to discover like a scavenger hunt. Another idea from Dodman is to enrich a toy with an engaging smell like anise, vanilla, or… deer urine "if you can stomach it."
For vision, turn on the TV and give them access to a window, perhaps adorned with a bird feeder. Sound could be from the TV, or talk radio, as well as music designed specifically for dogs. Lastly, make sure your dog has a cozy bed and soft comforts. The idea, said Dodman, is to try and make it fun for them. "When you leave it's party time." There's also a ton of YouTube videos specifically made for relaxing dogs.
Above all, remember the adage, "a tired dog is a good dog." Try and make sure your dog gets some exercise before you leave so they're mentally and physically calmer.

3. Don't ignore separation anxiety
You may have heard that ignoring your dog or letting them cry it out will teach your dog to self-soothe or learn healthy boundaries, but for a young puppy this probably won't work and may have the opposite affect. "When you're in need of an attachment figure, you've been separated from your mom, lost your litter mates, your new owners should not be distancing you. Leaving a puppy to cry is precisely the wrong approach because, at this stage, newly adopted pups need all the care and attention you can muster," said Dodman.
"They should be kept as close as possible, spoken to kindly and have all their needs met." That being said, Dodman continued it's important to strike a balance between loving them and being matter of fact, especially when it comes to departures. Being overly emotional when you leave will make them feel like it's a big deal and that they should panic.
To help find that balance, Basinger suggests thinking about it as "coaching them on how to learn how to self soothe and self pacify." If your dog is in their crate or in another room and starts to get upset, get closer to them, allow them to see you and talk to them. The key is to address it, not ignore it, because your dog's separation anxiety won't get better on its own.
Remember you're not alone
"The most important thing is to get your ducks in a row in terms of who you can lean on," said Shoshi Parks, a professional dog trainer who specializes in separation anxiety. "Whether that's a dog care provider you trust that can walk your dog, or a doggy daycare that you can bring them to, or a trusted friend or neighbor that you can drop the dog off when you need to be somewhere."
Having a dog with separation anxiety can be daunting, so look to family and friends for support when you need them. Parks also wants dog owners to know that training can be flexible and tailored to fit particular lifestyles, so getting help for your dog's separation anxiety doesn't mean overhauling your entire life. "They can really do it on their own time, and that it really only takes a commitment of about 30 minutes a day."
