HARI SREENIVASAN: Baseball has a history of teams trying to gain advantage against a pitcher
by occasionally stealing signs from the team it's playing.
The idea is to relay information to the hitter about what kind of pitch he will face.
There are ways to do it that are acceptable.
�MDNM�But the Boston Red Sox are accused of going too far with it last month against
their rivals, the New York Yankees, and using technology to do so.
William Brangham has the story.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Specifically, the skullduggery being alleged against the Red Sox involves
the use of a video camera and an Apple watch.
The commissioner of Major League Baseball, Rob Manfred, confirmed that Boston used this
technology in a very elaborate process to record and decode the signs that the Yankee
pitchers and catchers used, and then relayed that information to their batters in the middle
of the game.
For more on today's unfolding scandal, and the decades-long history of outwitting the
rules in baseball, we turn to Joshua Prager.
He's a journalist and author.
His 2008 book, "The Echoing Green," chronicled the sign-stealing secret that helped the New
York Giants win the 1951 pennant.
Welcome to the "NewsHour."
JOSHUA PRAGER, Author, "The Echoing Green": Thanks for having me.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, help me break down what the allegation is against these dastardly
Red Sox.
What are they accused of having done?
JOSHUA PRAGER: So, they are accused of using mechanical means to alert a batter to what
kind of pitch is coming.
And there are about 20 or so seconds that pass between every pitch of every game, 280
pitches or so, 20 or so seconds between every pitch.
And that might seem like not a lot of time, but it's actually plenty of time to do all
sorts of stuff to alert a batter what kind of a pitch is coming.
And, ostensibly, most batters will tell you if helps them to know whether a pitch will
be a fast pitch or an off-speed pitch.
And the Red Sox are accused of using a phone and all sorts of quick signals to alert the
batter to what was coming.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, I guess the concern is, the idea is that they somehow used a video
camera to record what the Yankee pitchers and catchers were signaling to each other,
figure out what that means, so that the next time another batter is coming up, that batter
can be somehow tipped off what those signals are and what they mean?
JOSHUA PRAGER: Well, when you watch a baseball game at home, you see the catcher wiggling
their fingers between every pitch.
And when they're doing that, they're telling the pitcher what kind of a pitch to throw.
So, someone on the Red Sox, allegedly, according to Michael Schmidt, The New York Times, was
looking at this, I guess on a television screen, and then relaying that information to a member
of the training staff in the Red Sox dugout, who saw that information by looking down at
his wrist.
And then he simply signaled to one of the players in the dugout.
Michael mentioned two of them by name, Brock Holt and Dustin Pedroia, who then relayed
the sign, it seems, to a Red Sox player, who was probably already on second base.
So, in other words, they didn't use this between every pitch of every game, it seems, but,
rather, they waited for someone to be on second base.
And they did that, because it's very easy when you're on second to then relay the signal
to the batter.
So, that sounds like a lot going on.
You go from the watch to the player, to the man on the field, to the batter.
But, as I mentioned earlier, you have 20 or so seconds, and you have actually -- that's
plenty of time to let the batter know what kind of a pitch is coming.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, my understanding is -- and you have certainly written a whole
book about this -- stealing signs is not considered a taboo thing to do.
You're sort of allowed to do it.
So, what have the Red Sox done here that's the problem?
JOSHUA PRAGER: Not only is it allowed.
It's encouraged.
If you're a batter on -- if you're a runner on second base, and you can peer in with the
naked eye and see what finger signals the catcher is using, and if you can figure out
what that signal means -- and the catcher knows that you're there, so they often change
what the signal means when there's a man on second -- but if you can figure that out and
relay that to the batter, that's encouraged.
That's kosher.
Everyone's happy with that.
But what is not OK is to use mechanical means to do that.
The commissioner is empowered to come down on the Red Sox and say, you cannot do this.
And no doubt he's now figuring out what will be a proper punishment.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, that's where the Apple watch comes into this, that that is the mechanical
piece of equipment that is verboten in baseball's rules.
JOSHUA PRAGER: Correct.
And baseball teams have been cheating for as long as there has been baseball.
I wrote a book about the 1951 Giants, who they famously won the pennant with Bobby Thomson's
Shot Heard Round the World.
And starting in the summer, on July 20, they installed a man in center field in the polo
grounds with a telescope.
And when he would spy the sign, he would then press a button that would, via buzzer wire,
make a buzz go off in the right field bullpen.
And the players there in the bullpen would then signal to the batter what pitch was coming.
So, they used a telescope and buzzer wire.
And there are literally dozens of other examples going back to the 19th century.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Is there any sense that you have that all of this creative hijinks
that goes on actually makes a difference in the results of a game?
JOSHUA PRAGER: Absolutely.
If it didn't help teams to know what pitch was coming, they wouldn't go to these great
lengths to steal the signs.
When I interviewed all of the members of the -- all the surviving members of the 1951 Giants,
Bobby Thomson, for example, who hit the Shot Heard Round the World, was very honest with
me.
He said: It helps me enormously.
It helped me enormously to know what kind of a pitch is coming.
If a pitch is traveling 90 miles an hour, a batter has just 0.13 seconds to react to
it.
So, if you can say, hey, I can wait, this pitch is going to be an off-speed pitch, that
will help.
Some batters don't want to know.
Tony Gwynn, famously, wanted to just react to the ball, see the ball, hit the ball.
But most batters, it would seem, very much do want to know.
And that's why, no matter how many times they're told they're not allowed to do it, they will
continue to try to do it.
WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Joshua Prager, thank you so much.
JOSHUA PRAGER: Thanks for having me.

SafeTTC: What do you think of the mobile app? (3) - Duration: 1:01.
I've had many, multiple friends encountering situations, like harassment, or someone verbally
harassing them and no one else would, like, step up for them.
So I feel like the app is, like, one step closer to helping people in such situations.
If you want to say something about it, you're just a click away from just, you know, helping
it.
As for the Wi-Fi—and there's going to be Wi-Fi in the stations, so it's going
to be, like, super helpful to help that person, or yourself even.
Sometimes you have drunk people, intoxicated people, and everyone kind of ignores that.
I would have used it for that, because I don't want to cause an alarm, I don't
want to stop the train.
I'm trying to get somewhere in time and it just causes a lot of unnecessary delays.
It will give the TTC additional resources to follow up on any incidents—that's pretty
useful and I think it will be very beneficial for the riders.

What is the Theory of Evolution (Thuyết Tiến Hóa) - Duration: 2:59.
What is Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution?
Let us not get controversial
but simply stick to the facts about Charles Darwin and his theory of Evolution.
And English naturalist Mr Darwin definitely gave us all a lot to think about.
Darwin's theory of evolution actually contains two major ideas.
the first idea is posed by Mr Darwin, theorized the idea that evolution occurs
In other word, organisms change over time
and life on earth has changed as descendant diverge from common ancestor in the past.
the second idea from Darwin is the evolution occurs by natural selection,
natural selection is the process in which living things with beneficial traits
produce more offspring than others,
this result in changes in the trades of living things over time.
In Charles Darwin's day the early 1800s,
most people believed that all species were created at the same time
and remained unchanged thereafter,
they also believed that the earth was nearly 6000 years old.
Darwin's ideas revolutionized biology as we know it.
How did Mr Darwin come up with these important ideas
it all star when he went on voyage
in 1831 when Darwin was just 22 years old
he set sail on scientific expedition on the ship called HMS Beagle.
He was the naturalist on the voyage.
As a naturalist, it was his job to observe and collect specimens of plants
animals, rocks, and fossils wherever the expedition went ashore
Darwin was fascinated by this nature,
and his job on the Beagle was the most important time of his life.
He spent over 3 years of the 5-year trip exploring nature on distant continents and islands.
While he was away, a former teacher published Darwin's accounts of his observations.
By the time Darwin finally returned to England, he had become famous as a naturalist.
During the long voyage,
Charles Darwin made many observations that helped him form his theory of evolution
Some of what he found included
Tropical rain forests and other new habitats where he saw many plants and animals he had never seen before
An earthquake that lifted the ocean floor 9 feet (2.7 meters) above sea level.
He also found rocks containing fossil sea shells in mountains far above sea level.
These observations suggested that continents and oceans had changed dramatically over time
and continue to change dramatically.
Rock ledges that had clearly once been beaches that had gradually built up over time
This suggested that slow, steady processes also change the surface of the Earth.
Fossils of gigantic extinct mammals, such as the ground sloth
This was hard evidence that organisms looked very different in the past
as it suggested that living things, including the Earth's surface, change over time.

It's a nice way to just, like, discreetly, kind of put a call out for help.
It just makes you feel safer because you know that something, there is something, you
can do if you do see something.
I think if the TTC was able to, I guess, collect data on what is happening or where it's
happening, and if it's happening all the time and they are able to put officers out
there to make sure that it doesn't happen, or they're able to catch it or like control
it, it just makes everybody safer and, I guess, makes me feel safer that something is happening,
that the problem that I had reported or whether people are reporting, that the TTC is actually
taking action.
Who knows if anything gets done with it, right?
Or if it ever gets logged?
So yeah, it's a pretty good thing to have.
It's always good to know, like, if I did put something in — you know if someone harassed
me or something — that it is getting looked after and get some feedback, it's great.
Yeah, I think, as a student, I'll be much, I'll feel much more safer.

What is "The West" - Duration: 9:25.
We hear about "Western Involvement", "Western Values", and "Western Interests" in
the media.
People say that the West is the best, or that the West is in decline.
Some country is either Westernising or hates the West's way of life.
The West is the countries with democracies and free markets right?
Or countries that are part of Western Civilisation?
Then what about Latin America, are they Western?
What does "The West" even mean and what exactly is Western Civilisation.
Let's find out
-ROLL INTRO-
To understand what Western Civilisation is, we'll have to look at it's 5000 history.
Which I am going to try and summarise in a few minutes.
I'll start with the Greeks, who are considered the traditional founders of Western Civilisation
and the people that gave "The West" a lot of it's central values such as citizen
participation in government, the disciplines of science, philosophy, and history, and the
basis for Western architecture.
The Greeks or at least each Greek city state had an identity based on these ideas.
Except Sparta whose identity was based on death and sweet abs.
People such as Homer, Socrates, and Hippocrates are all titans in the fields of Western literature,
philosophy, and medicine.
They essentially kick started it.
Now don't get me wrong, an ancient Greek would be considered alien today if we met
one.
But the idea that Western Civilisation descends from the Greeks is as important an idea to
"The West" as an actual direct link.
Obviously modern Western Civilisation isn't the same as ancient Greek culture, later Westerners
chose what they wanted to adopt and what to abandon.
No one in the modern West is sacrificing goats to the gods or taking slaves just because
the Greeks did it.
The origins of the east-west division has roots in Ancient Greece, specifically in the
Persian Wars.
It is this conflict that we see the beginning of the liberty loving masculine West v despotic,
decadent, and feminine East trope.
A trope that we still see on-screen today.
One of the most important things Greece did for "the West" was influenced Rome.
Rome gave the future West the foundations for its governments, languages, and law.
The Roman law code was the basis for the legal systems of most of Europe and its colonies
up until the 18th and 19th centuries.
Rome provided the later West with an identity firstly through its Empire and then through
it's Church.
Christianity held "the West" together after Rome faded and would mold it's identity
up until the 19th century.
Christianity became the religion of Rome after the Emperor Constantine adopted it.
But just as importantly in the history of the West is something else Constantine did.
And that was establishing the city of Constantinople.
You see, the Roman empire had a cultural divide.
The West spoke Latin and the East spoke Greek.
So, the Romans began thinking with a Latins v Greeks mindset.
The Latins saw the Greeks as more effeminate and decadent compared to how manly and tough
they were, which added to the East v West idea.
Which is funny because the ancient Greeks thought the same in relation to themselves
to the Persians.
The Roman Empire eventually divided along these lines.
The Western half faded away during the 5th century and the Eastern or Byzantine half
lasted another 1000 years.
In 1054 the Western and Eastern Churches split from each other in an event known as the Great
Schism.
I won't go into detail because the Great Schism will be a video itself.
But the important take away is that after 1054 the Catholic Church separated from the
Eastern Orthodox Church.
A pope sat in Rome and a Patriarch sat in Constantinople.
The Eastern Roman Empire would eventually spread Orthodox Christianity into the Levant,
the Balkans, and importantly they converted the Rus.
This schism in combination with the Islamic conquests that began 3 centuries previously
gave the West's it's own identity.
They were West Christendom.
They may not have liked each other but they knew that they hated the Eastern heathens
and Muslims even more.
Constantinople would fall to the Ottomans in 1453 and afterwards the Greek, Roman, and
Islamic knowledge that they had accumulated and preserved was brought back to Europe by
scholars and traders.
The Renaissance with all it's fancy naked statues got into full swing.
The West began to re-import Western Civilisation, with all the additions the Byzantines, Muslims,
and others had made to it.
This rebirth of Western culture came along just before the discovery of the New World.
So the Europeans, now confident that their ideas and culture were superior began to colonise
the New World.
This is the beginning of the spread of "The West" and also the reason why the West is
such a hard term to quantify today.
By colonising and imposing their culture on other nations the West ended up in the Northern,
Southern, and Eastern parts of the world.
Which is confusing for a group the identifies as a position on the compass.
If you'd like to learn how the West managed to conquer so much then click that little
I in the top right corner to go to a great video by Grant Hurst.
During the Enlightenment the Western idea of the nation-state developed.
During this era European imperialism was brought to Africa and Asia.
As Westerners translated "Eastern" languages and interacted with the East more a kind of
"Orientalism" began depicting the East as an irrational, psychologically weak, and
feminized, Other, which was negatively contrasted the West's idea of itself as rational, psychologically
strong, and masculine.
The nation-state concept was imposed on places where it didn't make sense, resulting in
odd perfectly straight borders.
The enlightenment dulled the idea of West Christendom and birth the secular West.
This is when the West actually began calling itself the West and also using that term to
describe previous cultures, like the Greeks and Romans.
Skipping forward slightly.
After the 2nd world war the West lost its colonial power mostly.
The world entered the Cold War.
Which was an easy conflict to paint in the terms of East v West.
Communism v Capitalism.
The Western identity solidified during this period.
Who was Western and who wasn't, was clear.
But after the Cold War ended I think the term "The West" lost its solid meaning.
But it still continued to be used.
So what does "The West" mean today?
How do you define it?
Here are the usual Economic, Political, and Cultural definitions
Economically the West is usually developed countries with strong economies and high incomes.
Here it's used interchangeably with First world.
Politically it's countries with democratic governments and free citizens.
Here it's used interchangeably with Free world
Culturally it's countries with roots in Europe or the Greco-Roman-Judean tradition
and was built upon by the ideals of the Enlightenment.
Usually referred to as Western Civilisation.
But these definitions aren't great for actually defining the West.
For example let's look at Latin America.
Latin America much like the United States and Canada are inheritors of Western Civilisation
through their European colonisers.
Latin America however is rarely included when people speak about "The West".
They speak Latin languages and while there are some Latin American countries such as
Bolivia, Paraguay, and Guatemala that have a much stronger native influence they are
still heavily influenced by the culture of their colonisers.
If you look at a Human Development Index map you can see that many Latin American states
are in the high to very-high range, especially Argentina and Chile and Uruguay.
Their political institutions and governments are based on the same principles as European
ones.
Democratic governments are the norm in Latin America and most rank just below the US and
Europe on the Democracy index.
Latin America is definitely a part of Western Civilisation and should be included in "The
West".
You can try applying those 3 criteria to other nations too, like Japan, Turkey, and nations
that were previously behind the Iron Curtain.
And that brings me to my final point, criticisms of the term "The West".
An issue with the term "The West", other than its vagueness, Is that it implies confrontation.
West of where?
Different than where?
Edward Said claimed that "the West" was just a construct used by Europeans to justify
an opposition to the East, which could then justify colonialism.
"the West" usually defines itself by what it's not.
It wasn't the Persians.
It wasn't the Greeks or Orthodox.
It wasn't Islamic or Chinese or Indian.
It wasn't Russian or Communist.
And now it's not Islamic, again.
The notion of an Eastern other has played a central role in constructing a Western identity,
and helped to define the West as its contrasting image.
Which nowadays doesn't make sense because cultures and societies are mixing and learning
from each other on an unprecedented scale.
The West and the East need each other as our economies and societies would collapse without
the other.
"Western Civilisation" as a term is just an attempt to record the history of a cultural
unit in a easily understandable and linear fashion.
But "The West" as a term is simply used to refer to a blurry area of the map in people's
mind.
Which is why it is useful for the news or for politicians, it's just vague enough
to appear to mean something.
So when you hear someone refer to the decline of "The West" or how a group of people
hate the West.
Think, "what are they referring to?
What West?
Is all of Europe, the Americas, Australia, and New Zealand all in decline?
Have people stopped reading Plato?
Do these people that hate the West simply hate whoever they see as their enemy or do
they actually hate all of the places that might be in "the West".
Even Liechtenstein.
Can you really hate Liechtenstein?"
The purpose of this video isn't to demand that we begin using different terms for anything.
But it can be useful to know where certain terms came from and why they continue to be
used.
Kipling said that East is East and West is West and never the twain shall meet.
Except that they have and now both are different and better than before.

What to do When You Get a New Puppy | Rover.com - Duration: 2:37.
Hi, I'm Nicole Ellis. I'm a certified professional dog trainer and today we're
gonna talk about what to do when you get a new puppy.
Getting a new puppy can be thrilling exciting but also a bit daunting.
There's so much going on, from potty training, puppy playtime, socialization,
and making sure he's not eating your computer charger.
Here's my quick go-to list for the first things to do when you bring home your new family member.
Step 1: I'm a big fan of crate training. When trained properly dogs love their crates.
Not only will a crate help you with potty training, but it'll give your pup somewhere safe to nap and call their own.
Dogs will instinctually find a small hiding place for themselves such as under the bed.
This goes back to wolves and their dens, and crate provides that same feeling.
Step 2: Look into having pet insurance. I'm personally a big fan of it.
You'll want to do your research on the pet insurance companies.
Some are better for certain breeds than others, and sadly, our pets can get hurt and sick at young ages.
It's best to be prepared. You don't want to have to make decisions
based on costs, but instead based on their quality of life and comfort.
Owning a pet is a big rewarding responsibility, and having insurance takes some of that pressure off.
Step 3: Make sure your home is puppy proofed.
Puppies love to chew on things they need to satisfy that urge while teething,
which is why you'll want to give them something they should be chewing on such as a chew toy.
Pick everything off your floor that you don't want chewed.
This includes your favorite shoes and socks,
but also things that could be dangerous for them such as laptop chargers and loose power cords.
If you can't watch your pup, it's a great time for that crate or a playpen where they can stay out of trouble.
While puppies are young, do as much as you can to socialize your new dog to their surroundings,
new people, and objects with of course lots of praise and treats.
Step 4: It's never too early to start training.
Seriously, no your four-month old dog won't be doing handstands, but it's a great time to work on the basics.
Games in the house are fun for the whole family and allow you to keep working on some important behaviors like stay leave it and sit.
When doing training don't allow things that you wouldn't want a full-grown dog doing.
While it may be cute when a ten pound dog jumps up on you to lick your face,
It won't be as cute when he's 75 pounds and trying to do it to your grandparents or grandkids.
Lastly, take lots of photos. They grow up so fast.

What It's Like to Navigate Chicago in a Wheelchair - Rolling On, Episode 1 - Duration: 5:09.
I live downtown now.
My apartment is a block away from the bus that takes me directly to my office.
I did that intentionally, because I know
it's not easy to get around.
It's like playing the lottery, you never know whether train stations have working elevators,
if the sidewalks are free of construction, curbs
It's always a challenge getting around.
I'll read the newspaper.
Did you read this? So interesting.
When I was 20 years old, I was involved in a pretty horrific car accident and I sustained a spinal cord injury where I pretty much broke my neck.
I was told you'll never walk again, and yeah, here I am, sitting. Not walking.
Daniel, can you bring me my coat?
It's been a journey. It's been a challenge.
Learning every day.
I guess our greatest issue usually is just getting around town.
You know, we always have to kind of think about "Where are we gonna go?" "How are we gonna get there?"
Makes it a little bit more complicated for us to kind of plan our, you know, weekends
and vacations and things like that.
So I work in downtown Chicago, and I work in Corporate Treasury.
It's kind of a finance job, sitting in front of the computer most of the day.
I've picked where I live so I can get on the bus that takes me directly to my office.
But, that in itself has been a challenge sometimes, because everyone's trying to
go to work during rush hour and nobody really wants to make space for, you know
the person in the wheelchair, because they're looking at their phone
didn't even notice that I'm there.
The state of accessibility in Chicago, I think, it's... okay.
There's a lot of work to be done. New public spaces that are being designed are intentionally being
incorporated with wheelchair access and ramps,
but the biggest challenge for me, I think, being in a wheelchair is just
getting around like everyone else.
We were out today earlier and it was raining. People don't realize that if
you're in a wheelchair you can't really hold an umbrella and steer your wheelchair
especially for the folks like me who don't have a lot of finger function so
we're just kind of at the mercy of the weather.
We tried to call a wheelchair accessible Uber
and it was like 20 minutes away. You don't want to wait in the rain for 20 minutes and so we tried to hop on the next train and there was no elevator.
It would have been great to be able to get up and take this train
from this subway platform but, there's no elevator yet again so here we are going
two or three more blocks to hopefully find a train station that we can use.
Just to get home, like everyone else can just hop in an Uber and they can get home,
but it was it was a challenge just to get home.
So are you excited to try Bar Siena?
Yeah I can't believe we never went.
I'm always reading online about new restaurants opening, I'm always really
excited, so I book a reservation, I'm like Daniel we're gonna go here and I
drag him out and we get there and there are steps or there's no way for me to get in.
I'm just, I'm always really angry when I get somewhere and it's not
accessible because it just feels like it's segregation because this
establishment is open to everyone else but me
and it just drives me crazy that I can't go there.
It's made me not want to go to a lot of places because of that.
Sorry.
I think the more data out there, the better.
Accessibility is important and the more people that contribute to this data
I would say, the better.
It would matter in my day-to-day life so much because it would make it so much
easier for me to feel confident when I go outside the door
and I would encourage everyone that I know to do it, too.

What is the International Miracle Institute? - Duration: 1:24.
What is my purpose, God?
Why did You put me here?
Everything that I was seeking in God, I was like, this is what I've been looking for
When IMI came into my life I was without hope and I was lost
It started working in my life immediately
It brought confidence and it brought confirmation
It broke depression off of my life
It's something that you know has power for the now
It gave me what I needed to know to become who I needed to be
in order to do what I knew I was called to do
It's an impartation of the Spirit of the Word
It doesn't run out
It doesn't get old
It doesn't get stale
You get just saturated with Truth and with the Word
Each person is unique, each person has a different destiny
You continue to train, you don't quit
Especially if you're a Christian you need IMI
I don't care who you are
I am convinced completely and absolutely that you
need IMI

What's New 2018 Face Chip Break and Tool Inspection - Duration: 1:17.
Mastercam 2018 brings two new options to the Face Turning operation: Tool Inspection and Chip Break.
These new options are found on the Face parameters tab.
Chip Break allows you to choose length or time to specify how much material is allowed to be pulled off in a given chip.
Options are available for the retract distance and dwell, for those times you are cutting a particularly sticky material, or creating a thicker chip.
Tool Inspection options allow you to pause the facing operation and move the tool to a safe location where it can be inspected for wear and general condition.
You can control when and where a pause will occur, giving you maximum control over safety, part finish, and tool life.

Language Certificates, Challenges & more... - What's new in MosaLingua - Duration: 3:33.
Dear MosaLingua friends
I really hope you are doing well and that
you are motivated to make great language progress.
Today I'd like to share with you
some news about what we've been working on lately
and what to start looking forward to.
Let's start with some good news:
you can now redeem your MosaLingua Language Certificate
to prove your language skills.
Basically each time you reach a significant
milestone in our app (mobile or web version)
you get the option to download a certificate.
We suggest proudly displaying it in a visible place,
to keep your motivation levels high,
or even adding it to your resume!
After adding more texts for beginners
and the possibility
to learn using music videos,
we have just introduced
a very useful feature in MosaLingua Web:
MosaLingua CHALLENGES.
Once in the platform you can choose between a list
of selected challenges, such as
introducing yourself in a video,
speaking with a native after just a bit of practice,
watching a video in your target language without subtitles,
and much more.
Of course, we'll be there
to support and guide you towards your goal!
And now let me share some news about what's coming soon.
Over the years, we've received so many emails
from people asking us to help
learn a language.
Our apps and MosaLingua Web are all great tools,
but many people
have still difficulties with motivation,
organizing their schedule, being consistent
and developing all the skills needed
to master a language.
This upcoming training is the answer to all of that
and much more.
It's already available for our French and Italian-speaking users
and it has already helped thousands of people.
Very soon it will also be available
for English, Spanish, Portuguese and German speakers.
Details coming soon:
watch out for our e-mails
in the upcoming weeks (and if you are not yet
a member of our MosaLingua Club,
use the link below to join us).
If you are learning English and you'd like to improve your
listening and speaking skills,
then I'm sure you'll be interested in attending
our Live Online Course.
It's free, so you all you need to do is registering
using either the link below
or on the screen.
You'll leave the live session with some concrete results
and all the keys to
improving your English.
And that's not all.
We are currently working on 2 large projects:
The first one concerns grammar, because many of you
expressed the desire to get more help from MosaLingua in that aspect
of language learning.
We'll give you more details about that soon, so stay tuned.
The second one is a bigger project:
I don't want to give away too many details about it
but I can already tell you that
its main goal is help you improve your speaking skills
I hope this news was
as exciting for you as it is for us, and I wish you all the best
in your language learning endeavours.
See you soon!

What does raw mean? | Instinct Raw Pet Food - Duration: 0:43.
At Instinct we believe that love is raw,
but what does raw mean?
It means never cooked
because when real raw meat and fresh produce are cooked,
they lose a lot of their valuable nutrients.
Raw means responsibly sourced meat is the number one ingredient
and only whole non-GMO fruits and vegetables make up the rest.
No fillers like grain, wheat, soy, and corn.
It means your pets can absorb all those important proteins, vitamins, and minerals
so they can really truly thrive.
Love is raw.
