How strong is your heart health knowledge?
Let's test your heart smarts with a, few facts or fiction statements the answers will lead to a healthy heart
Let's get started
exercise needs to be difficult
fiction, exercise should be enjoyable
The American Heart Association does recommend
150 minutes of moderate exercise every week that, would be 30 minutes five times a week of
Exercise that might make you a little bit flushed or a little bit winded. In fact exercise doesn't have to be what
we traditionally think of as exercise
cleaning the house,
gardening are all forms of an active lifestyle and beneficial exercise.
Chest discomfort or pain do not always occur with a heart attack
fact
While many patients will present with
Chest discomfort or arm pain as their symptom of a heart attack not everybody does The symptoms can vary
Some people will present with more atypical symptoms such as jaw discomfort nausea or shortness of breath
If you feel like you might be having a heart attack
please
always, call 9-1-1
If you don't have a family history of heart disease
you don't need to worry about your cholesterol level
Fiction. The American Heart Association, suggests that starting at age 20
Everybody should have their cholesterol level checked every five years
While cholesterol is not the only risk factor for heart disease, it is an important risk factor and
modifications with diet or exercise and
sometimes medications are necessary depending on your cholesterol level
Everybody needs to take an aspirin once a day
fiction
Aspirin is an important medication and it can help prevent heart disease in some individuals
Aspirin needs to be prescribed by your provider
Talk to your provider, and they can, assess your risk of heart disease and whether or not you would benefit from a
Daily, aspirin
Salads are not always healthy
Fact. While salads can be an important part of a heart-healthy diet
They can, also be loaded with excess calories
Fruits and vegetables and healthy oils are recommended to reduce the risk of heart and vascular disease
however, we need to be mindful of our choices and our portion sizes
I don't add salt to my food, so i'm taking care of my heart
fiction
While it can be very important not to
Add salt at the table, we also have to be aware that many of the foods that
We get that are processed or from a restaurant
often are very high in sodium
We need, to be aware of how much salt we're getting in our food
Not just what we're adding at the table
i don't smoke so i'm not going to get heart disease
fiction
Smoking is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for heart disease
But there are other risk factors as, well
including diabetes
high cholesterol and weight
It's important that none of us smokes cigarettes but
we also have to be aware of these other risk factors
Thanks for joining me. Heart disease is the number one cause of death in the united states but, there are steps you can
take today to reduce your risk for heart disease

What makes same-sex relationships succeed or fail? | Drs. John and Julie Gottman - Duration: 2:48.
MODERATOR: You two are the experts on marriage
and this has been a big year for gay marriage
and in all the research that I study on relationships and marriage
so much of it is focused on heterosexual couples.
I know you've done some work with the lesbian community.
Can you talk about any differences that you see
you know, gender roles or any other changes in a gay relationship?
DR. JOHN GOTTMAN: My colleague, Bob Levenson, and I studied committed gay and lesbian couples for a dozen years.
And we found the same principles apply
to gay and lesbian committed relationships
as to heterosexual married couples.
There were some differences, qualitatively.
One really interesting difference was that
most heterosexual couples in subcultures in the United States
except for Latino and Hispanic subcultures
are very embarrassed talking about sex
— even when there's no camera there —
with one another
and are very indirect in what they ask for.
Don't have a way of initiating sex
a formal way of talking about it
and so gay and lesbian couples were very different from heterosexual couples in that way.
Very open and very direct in talking about what they needed sexually
But the overriding difference was that
gay and lesbian couples were a lot nicer to each other
than heterosexual couples.
They were gentler, the way they presented their conflicts,
and they were less defensive
and there was more of a sense of humor.
And we know that there's a lot more sensitivity in gay and lesbian couples
to power differentials in the relationship
and a desire
maybe because there's less choice
only 10% of the population is gay or lesbian.
Because there's less choice, I think.
They're more willing to have an equal relationship.
Even if there are differences in income or education
to really make sure that there's not that power differential.
MODERATOR: Do you predict that anything will change
as it goes from committed long-term relationships to official marriage?
DR. JOHN GOTTMAN: Yes, I really do.
I think the difference is that
gay and lesbian couples will feel
more a part of society
rather than defensive about who they are
they'll be accepted
they'll be, you know, really treated as equals.

Ezra Pound Radio #07 (February 3, 1942) "30 Years or a Hundred" - Duration: 10:50.
The prospect of a 30 years war is not one to arouse mirth and hilarity even in a flighty,
chicken headed and irresponsible people such as the United States
of Americans.
You are in it, and Lord knows, who is a goin' to git you out.
The late Lord Rothermere, whose culture was nothin', as you might say, to write home
about, finally decided that the English public was wholly
unteachable.
I don't know whether you can learn ANYTHING from history, I don't know whether you are
even yet in the state of mind where you want to learn any thing from history or from any
other source whatsoever.
A way to get yourselves OUT, might be discoverable, it might be more discoverable if you first
had the faint inkling of a curiosity as to how
you got yourselves IN.
Now whether you can learn anything from the disasters of England, I do not know.
But I would about lay it down as an axiom that empires do not
get knocked apart from outside until they are plum gone to rot
in the middle.
The laws of right government have been known since the days of Yao and Shun, ole Chinese
emperors, and from the time of Shun to King Wen was a 1000 years, and from Wen to Confucius
500.
And they say when the policies of Shun and of Wan were set together (compared), they
were as the two halves of a seal, or it might be of a
tally stick.
And for nigh onto 4000 years I think no one has dodged the facts of these policies.
And from the time of Confucius every dynasty in China that has
lasted 300 years has been founded on the law of Confucius, a
man or a group, seem' the horse sense of government, as learned by Confucius, I mean he learned
it looking at history, talking of Shun and Wan
and after him whenever a great man learned it he started or
upheld some sort of imperial order.
And for that reason I am distinctly unimpressed by the bombastic lies of Mr. Winston Churchill
or the dirt of Mr. Anthony Eden.
And if the United States was going to have a foreign alliance, I would have preferred
it to be with some other kind of a government than Eden
and Churchill.
There are worse things than a biff on the jaw.
Get slugged on the jaw, you can mebbe get up and fight, but a long term of syphilis
weakens the constitution.
No, the United States has, politically and economically speaking, had economic political
syphilis for the past 80 years.
Ever since 1863.
And England has had economic syphilis for 240 years, so now she is a
moultin' and droppin', Hong Kong, Singapore, Canada, and Australia.
Seems like it is tertiary.
Well, as Lord Rothermere said: they are unteachable.
I don't know how much more they reckon to drop before they get ready for physic.
I have said on this radio before now that along about 1695 or 94 the
Bank of England was put together, and in 1750 they shut down on the Pennsylvania colony
money, and the system of lending paper out to the farmers.
And in 1776 the natural consequences of that dirty London
policy of starvin' and cheatin' became, as they say, more apparent.
And a year or two later Johnnie Adams said to the British commander: They were havin'
a parley, sez John Adams.
"I don't care what capacity I am received in, receive me in any capacity
you like except that of a British subject."
So the first large scale effect of the London cheatin', and money monopoly
was the loss of the American colonies.
The Chinese have a method of countin' cycles of 80 years.
I don't know that there is much in it, but it seems to work
sometimes.
Eighty years, from the bank to the American Revolution.
About 80 years from startin the American government to the great betrayal
of 1863.
Think it over And from 63 to the present OUR rise as
a state thru three or four major, but POSITIVE convulsions, like Jefferson's revolt against
Hamilton's dirtiness, the Jackson- Van Buren war for
the liberation of the American Treasury.
Lincoln's sayin', "gave to this people the greatest blessin' they
ever had, their own paper to pay their own debt."
And then the assassination of Lincoln.
And then another 80 years: to the END, and absolute collapse of the American system of
government.
Can we revive it?
Has the country got the guts for the climb?
Is there, as I am sayin' this, the faintest stirring of a desire
INside the United States for any healthy new structure?
Or are we the gadarine swine taken with collective hysteria?
Are there ten men in America ready calmly to go back over the events of the past few
years, in America and in England?
Is there the faintest stirring of American curiosity as to how a sane government
could be built up?
Or at any rate any nucleus or group ready to go back and learn how we were built up
from the beginning?
Adams, Jefferson, and Van Buren to read and digest.
You can't talk it over with me; because none of
you can get to a radio.
You can't print stuff like this in your papers, cause the newspapers are NOT there to
inform the people.
You have got to talk to each other, you have got to write letters one to another.
The texts and the guides you have got, that is, in a way you have got 'em, sprawled out,
in big sets of unhandy volumes.
Our publishers don't print handy compendiums.
Your professors don't analyze, that is, not very much.
I don't know what has become of Claude Bowers.
He did a bit of digging about.
You have a half-dozen historians but not all of 'em,
by any means, able to take out the facts and show how they hitch
together.
I dunno how you think you are going to assist in a war by a money system which, as Jefferson
already saw, "charges the public TWO dollars for every
dollar spent by the government," just automatically and
independent of any particular grafting and swindling.
Thirty years war, 30 years paradise for Army contractors, may not be what you voted for.
In fact, Mr. Franklin D. Roosevelt on that score is manifestly
what they called him here the other day: the boy that fell
down on his assignment.
And when you think, if you do think, of the BILLIONS that have been lifted by
the Morgenthau treasury policy during the past nine years of peace time.
God knows.
God knows what it will be during warfare, or by the end, shall we say, thirty years?
Well, you are now IN, and nobody in Europe can now get you out.
Inspired (shall we say) by the principle of self-
determination of peoples, oppressed peoples?
Illustratin' it by the determination to keep Mr. Aguinaldo out
of his native Manila you have chucked away our national cultural heritage.
Relatively speakin' that heritage was the determination of our forebears to set up and
maintain in the
North American continent a government better than any other.
The determination to govern ourselves INternally, better than any other nation on earth.
The idea of Washington, Jefferson, Monroe, to keep out
of foreign shindies.
Well, you have chucked that idea, or ideal onto the dung heap.
And you have insulted the most highly tempered people on earth.
With unspeakable vulgarity you have insulted the most finely tempered people
on earth, threatenin' 'em with starvation, threatenin' 'em with encirclement and tellin'
'em they were too low down to fight.
You are at war for the duration of the Tenno's pleasure.
Nothin' in the Western World; nothin' in the whole of our Occident can help you to dodge
that.
Nothin' can help you dodge it.
I could go along on this line for some time, but mebbe I said enough for one evenin'.

Cats or Dogs? - Duration: 4:16.
I'm Lenka.
And I'm Abbey.
And we're Lights Camera English.
Cats or dogs?
Cats.
Cats or dogs?
Yes.
Look at her.
Isn't she adorable?
She is.
So cute.
I'm surprised to hear you say that, though.
Why?
Because you don't like pets.
I love pets.
You love pets?
You don't have any pets.
I don't have any pets.
But there is a difference between liking a pet and having a pet.
Okay.
So... so you like pets.
I do.
So what pet would you have it you had a pet?
I am definitely a cat person.
Yeah.
I just love their personality.
I love how independent they are.
Yeah.
And they are also quiet.
The take care of themselves.
Yes.
And you can even leave them for a couple of hours or a couple of days even...
Yes, yes.
When they get back... when you get back, then they are like "oh, here you are!"
Yes, or in my case, "who are you?"
And then they carry on.
Yes, yes, it's true.
They are very independent.
And so, but what about a dog, would you ever imagine having a dog?
Um.
Well, maybe, one day.
When I'm in my 90's or so.
I might have a little dog and I'll go for a walk with my dog three times a day or so...
...maybe.
But for the time being, mmm... no pets.
Not even cats.
Right, yes.
Oh well.
Hear that Mist?
But you used to have a dog?
Yes.
Yes.
I used to have a dog.
His name was Benny.
And he was lovely.
He was like a cuddle-muffin at home.
But, you know, he was a big breed, so he ate a lot of food which can be a little bit expensive.
And I guess, I did find it a little bit
demanding, you know?
He would, um, he needed a lot of walks, basically, because he was a large dog.
See, independent cats!
Yeah!
What video?
And so I'd have to go home, took like twenty minutes, and walk him for an hour, then go back into
town for my rehearsal, and it was exhausting, actually.
It took a lot of time.
Yeah, like it's one thing imagining being 90 and, you know, walking a Chihuahua through
the forest, and quite another having a large dog in a city, even if it is Prague
you know, and managing their, like, their needs, basically.
And I'd always bit a little bit stressed, you know, when we went out because, he's a
large dominant dog and if he met other dominant dogs there could be a little bit of an issue,
and so I'd always be a bit stressed when we were on our walks.
There are a lot of dogs in Prague.
There are so many dogs in Prague.
So it was always a little bit stressful.
And, of course, no going away.
You couldn't really go away on holiday or something...
Right!
... without finding a dog sitter.
Right.
But that's a big responsibility for somebody to take on.
Oh yes.
The bigger the dog, the bigger the responsibility.
Uh-huh.
So, yes.
None of my friends who have dogs go on holidays now.
It's all "oh, no, the dog, I can't" or "I've got to go back because of the dog."
Um, so I always think it's a bigger responsibility than we--than we imagine when we take on pets.
But he was lovely.
And I did love him.
Yeah.
But there is a difference between loving and having.
Yes, I concede, you're right.

Which Kills You Faster — Chemotherapy Or Cancer - Duration: 6:37.
Which Kills You Faster � Chemotherapy Or Cancer
by Edward Morgan
Science is now proving that chemotherapy actually causes cancer to spread throughout the body.
How will the hospitals and oncologists write it up? Will they say the patient died from
cancer or chemotherapy? That�s a rhetorical question, by the way.
The medical industrial complex can�t sustain their billion-dollar-a-year cancer business
if they blame the real culprit of destroyed immunity, acidic blood and ultimate cell mutation
that takes over the body of the patient.
According to the Pharma Death Clock, there have been over 17 million U.S. deaths caused
by chemotherapy since 2001, yet under 11 million deaths were caused by cancer itself, so what�s
wrong with this picture?
Consider this carefully: If you have much better odds of preventing and defeating cancer
by changing your diet to a plant-based food regimen, rather than polluting your entire
bloodstream with toxic chemotherapy, why isn�t this all-important food-lifestyle change the
mainstream method for treating cancer, and why isn�t it offered like a prescription?
Most Americans can�t handle the change � that�s why. They want their bacon, hot dogs, subs,
bagels, French fries, Starbucks specialty drinks, microwave meals and processed sweets,
and they want some or all of these every day. They�re literally addicted.
Consider that the combination of already having cancer and getting dosed with chemotherapy
and radiation after stressful surgeries compounds the problem.
Cancer is a mutation of your cells that causes them to multiply uncontrollably and then turn
and attack your good cells, your organs, and your vital tissues. Take a big guess now � what
is the main fuel for cancer cells?
Answer: Chemicals. There are dangerous, carcinogenic chemicals posing as additives, preservatives
and �excipients� in most conventional food, genetically modified foods, allopathic
medicine, vaccines, flu shots, tap water, personal care products, household cleaners,
gardening products, candles, air fresheners, pet care products, and the list goes on.
Prescription drugs, surgery, chemotherapy and radiation can all exacerbate cancer cell
growth
Once you become a �regular� consumer of prescription drugs for anxiety, pain, depression,
inflammation, arthritis, fibromyalgia, heart disease, high cholesterol and diabetes, once
again you are compounding the chemical onslaught daily.
You are creating more bad cells than good cells and you are depriving your good cells
of oxygen. That is the cancer recipe, my friends. Change the recipe and you change your odds
of beating cancer drastically!
So now, which kills you faster � chemotherapy or cancer? The answer is both. When combined
you only have a three percent chance of survival. That�s why 75 percent of doctors, surgeons
and oncologists would never take chemotherapy themselves nor recommend it for family members.
If Chemotherapy Fails 97% of the Time, Why Do Doctors Recommend it?
Want your BEST odds of preventing and defeating cancer? Look into these 10 natural remedies
with ZERO side effects!
Let�s just get a few things straight first, when it comes to good health. You don�t
have to eat meat to get enough protein. Milk does not build strong bones.
Fluoride does not prevent cavities or make your teeth stronger. Vaccines do not �build�
immunity. Artificial sweeteners do not help you lose weight. Prescription drugs do not
cure health problems, they only treat the symptoms and the pain.
Here are the top 10 ways to prevent and beat cancer, without chemotherapy, prescription
drugs, radiation or surgery.
Don�t you want to consider something natural that gives you WAY higher odds of survival
than just three percent? Yes, we thought you would.
#1. Put a heaping tea spoon of baking soda (aluminum-free kind) in a glass of spring
water, mix it up and drink it twice a day. This alkalizes your pH and helps oxygenate
your cells.
#2. Buy some hemp seed oil at the health food store and put a few teaspoons in your smoothie
every day.
#3. Buy organic garlic supplements and take them daily as recommended by a nutritionist
or naturopath doctor.
#4. Buy organic cinnamon supplements and take them daily as recommended by a nutritionist
or naturopath doctor.
#5. Ramp up your vitamin C intake big time. Look for organic vitamin C at a health food
store or check out the Health Ranger Store on line.
#6. Ramp up your vitamin D3 intake big time. Most medical doctors tell you to stop at 2,000
or 3,000 IU, but you should really ramp it up to between 5,000 and 7,000 IU per day if
your shadow is taller than you. This will build up your immunity. Get it?
#7. Buy high-quality turmeric with curcumin. Take them in tandem with your D3 and you won�t
just be preventing and beating cancer, but also preventing Alzheimer�s disease!
#8. Never drink water from your tap. Municipal water in the U.S. likely contains cancer-causing
sodium fluoride, other people�s medications, heavy metal toxins, bleach, artificial sweeteners
and other pollutants. Look into getting a great home water filtration system, like the
gravity filter called Big Berkey.
#9. Not many people in America know about the power of medicinal mushrooms � the first
line of defense against cancer. Check out chaga, reishi, lion�s mane and cordyceps.
#10. Organic green superfood smoothies with clean chlorella!
Now check out this video by Mic the Vegan regarding the power of plant-based food and
don�t get �scared away!�

Whether to arm teachers or not is �up to states� to decide
President Trump said Saturday he�ll leave it up to states to decide whether to pursue
his call to arm qualified teachers and other school personnel.
�Up to States,� the president tweeted.
�Shootings will not happen again � a big & very inexpensive deterrent.�

Want to be a Hero or Avoid Being Arrested? The Parkland Shooting and You! - Duration: 20:41.
As horrible as the Broward County school tragedy is it still provides us some
useful takeaways they have the potential of keeping you out of jail.
Now, I'm sympathetic to the victims but it would be a disservice for me to avoid
the topic. If we haven't met yet my name is Jeff Lotter. I spent 13 years as a
cop before changing careers becoming a criminal defense attorney. I provide
weekly uploads to keep you out of trouble and help you better understand
the system if you're already in trouble. Now this isn't the first time we've discussed
reading officers; I'll put a link to that second video or the prior video in the
description below. The feedback I received on that video leads me to
believe that most of you don't really get what I was trying to say. The Broward
County school shooting incident provides a great real-world example of how
reading officers may help you out. My brain is hardwired like a cop's. That
provides me great advantages in many situations and also provides some
disadvantages in other areas of my life (side note) Most of the attorneys that
advertise or brag about being cops or former law enforcement we're not really
what most cops consider "real cops" most of these former cop turned
attorneys played the role of police officers as a part-time gig or were lazy
because they were so focused on just getting the title of police officer
to use in their future practice. Anyways I'm glad they served not dissin' like
that but a lot of them don't have the real-world down-to-earth experience.
That's not me, I grounded it out for 10 years; tons of arrests, tons of foot
pursuits, crazy calls, tons of trainees, dead bodies, fully automatic guns it was
so wild and was a lot of fun. Now I admit the last three years I laid off
quite a bit, to give you a ballpark idea in a normal year I might have made 300
arrests. The last year I probably made about a hundred arrests. So why am I
telling you this? Because it's a trust thing. If you're gonna continue listening to
videos you need to know where I'm coming from, because if I was making this crap
up out of nowhere throw it out the window. But with thousands and thousands
of police-citizen encounters under my belt I think you should at least hear me
out and maybe think it could be possibly right before you throw me to
the wolves. But, before we go forward you and I need to be on the same sheet of
music for one thing it's this: I am assuming that you want the best way to
avoid being arrested. If that fails to work then you want the best way to avoid
being convicted. This is huge, because it distinguishes what makes me different
than the other type of creators out there making these types of videos. Those
other types are generally the people that say f**k the police and then the
traditional lawyers out there that are given legal advice. Here's what I gotta
say to the f**k the police crowd. I don't personally get any satisfaction by
pissing off cops for no reason I'm not sold that the way many of you are
employing your tactics is helpful for the future of our Country but, be that as
it may, it's a free country so go ahead and and do you. Just know, if you're actively
pushing the envelope you better be clean, nothing on you, no warrants, no drugs,
and sober. Similarly with mostly attorney videos that I've watched everything is
based upon their experience in the courtroom with the people that were
arrested their legal advice is courtroom centric, meaning their advice doesn't
even consider the possibility of avoiding the arrest in the first place.
They're only playing the long game, assuming that you're gonna be arrested.
See I play the short game and the long game. The short game is avoiding the rest
altogether if we win the short game you don't have to play the long game. Let's
dive deeper in that for a moment when I say not getting arrested
I'm not suggested you're gonna be let go on a serious charge. If you've got felony
charges keep your mouth shut follow the traditional legal advice, but
if you've got a little bit of weed on you or you've got a couple drinks get
pulled over anything where the cop has some discretion I think my advice is
probably more applicable. Speaking of that, if you've used something that I've
suggest and it helped you out let me know in the comments that would be super
awesome. So let's talk about Broward. The reports are that at least one deputy
fail to properly respond. First let's lay the foundation for those affected; it's a
horrible thing that happened I don't condone it and I pray for each one
of you, I do. I personally know a parent of a child that was at the school and
their daughter didn't suffer any physical injuries or any harm but I got the frantic text message and
I'm so sorry. But, the fact there was such a harm means that we have to have an
open discussion and learn, and not all cops are created equal
just like in the military now everyone is trained like a killing machine. We're
not gonna send a company of finance officers to take down the ISIS
stronghold. But why? you'd say. They're all trained through basic training they're
all soldiers, no they're not. It's absolutely insane. That first officer the
one who's being crucified is a school resource officer. What do you think of
when you think of school resource officer? Let me tell ya, in my experience
there's three different types of cops that are SROs in large departments: 1)
officers that never really thrived on the streets, they did their mandatory 12
months in patrol and they found their way to a school so they wouldn't have to
do real police work. Do you think they're closer to an infantryman or a
finance person in the army? The second type. Old-school officers that are just
riding out their time. They may have been good cops and aggressive in their day
but there are days of long since past and they're just punching a clock right
now. And third burnout officers, the guy that
hits a heart that first few years on the ground but got burnout and wants to work
at a school for a few years take a break play some basketball with kids that's another
one. Now keep in mind this may not apply to every agency especially the smaller
agencies. Due to their limited staffing they seem to have a larger cross-section
of officers fulfilling the duties sometimes on a rotating basis.This is a
deputy in Broward County, Florida. It's a pretty big County. He was at number two
on that list according to Washington Post. He was 54 years old, he joined BCSO
in the 80s, and has been an SRO for the past eight years. This guy's been with
the sheriff's office almost 30 years and hasn't promoted, I mean that tells you
something right there. Some people don't like to promote but
aggressive people generally like to promote through the ranks. So he's been
through a lot of training BCSO has first class training; I know some
of the guys down there. I used to work with one of the guys that's a training officer
down there, he works the range and they put on some great programs.
I know it's realistic and hard core training
that's not a question. The question is how did this SRO who is in his weaning
days of law enforcement apply that training. The training is only as good as
the person going through it. And I'm willing to bet that this is one
of those officers that had to be trained in active shooter but was he really
training to learn over there just going through the motions? There's a huge
difference! There's a huge difference! The active shooter scenario is substantially
different than how police officers were trained back in the 80s. We'll talk about
that here in a minute. Active shooter response is still
developing in law enforcement, when this guy was in his prime the standard
response for this type of call would be to secure perimeter and wait for SWAT.
Based on limited information that I've heard it sounds like he did fall back on
his training, just his training from 20 years ago, not the training he's
attended most recently. And I've been through dozens of active shooter
training scenarios the response is continually evolving. He likely stopped
evolving in his training back 10 15 years ago. So let's step back away from
the instant scenario and all the politics. How does this information help you not
get arrested? This horrific situation reinforces that recognizing the type of
cops that is stopping you is critical. Your chance of getting out of an arrest,
a ticket, or any trouble, hinges on you properly identifying the end game of the
officer that stopped. You then you mold your behavior so you don't become part
of that end game. You don't want to be stopped by the cops in the first place,
but if you're stopped you want to be back on your way as soon as possible.
Since the instant case talks about SROs let's discuss their characteristics and
how you can identify them and what their endgame is. So we've already discussed
the type of officers that generally become SROs. So now the question is
how do you identify them? I am going to tell you look above their name tag. Many
SROs actually wear a pin on their uniform that says SRO, now you'll most
likely encounter an SRO on their way to or from the school, to or from their
weekly check-in at the substation, to or from an off-duty job or maybe add an
off-duty job and then potentially on the holiday
or during the summer when school's out they may be on regular Patrol. Here's
the deal, usually the SRO isn't gonna want to dig
deeper than surface level their interaction with you. If you have
something that's in their face you might wind up in jail.
But if everything appears okay at first glance, you should be good. Now I'm giving
my opinion here take it for whatever worth that you give it, this is not legal
advice and should keep in mind my observations don't apply in every
circumstance. There are two circumstances that you should particularly be aware of
that it definitely won't apply; first if you're under 20 years old none of this
applies to you you now are part of the population that the SRO is generally
responsible for. They may take the time to investigate you further because they
feel responsible for you. So that's one. If it's a school holiday or summer break
and the SRO is working in a regular patrol capacity, which oftentimes happens,
if you run into him in that situation then he's gonna be more leaning towards
cop mode than SRO mode. But think about the times that I told you're gonna
interact with an SRO. The person, he is either on his way to or from home, or
work he's either to or from his substation to
the school, or he's to or from or at an off-duty job. When an officer is on their
way to or from something else you are not their endgame. So a vast majority of
your interactions with the SRO if you can just satisfy his initial reason he
stopped you he's gonna be back on track going towards that end game. It's when
you raise suspicion or cause headache or heartache right away that he's gonna
dive down and dig deeper. So if you find yourself stopped by an SRO you want to
keep a low profile and just make sure everything's straight at first glance.
He's likely to be on his way to someplace they're supposed to be or on
his way home he doesn't plan on arresting you. However, if he lands on a
felony or an easy and/or good arrest he's gonna make the arrest. If you do get
arrested by a SRO, keep in mind they're usually not prime
with regards to being up-to-date on street-level law, search and seizure, and
procedures. Now once again they're up to date on the school stuff and what
happens in school, they got that down. But on the street level they tend to get more
lackadaisical because they don't interact with it on a daily basis. So if it looks
like they're going down the road to arrest you I would place as many legal
obstacles in their way as possible. I request just because you're an
attorney while on the scene I would request I would deny any search I
wouldn't I answer any questions I'd going to request speak to an attorney
again but I wouldn't be an asshole the SRO specialty is dealing with
pain-in-the-ass kids all day long you are not going to rattle them by being a
pain in the ass instead you're going to drive them into their work mode into
their common element where they're normal to take in control and you are
going to make yourself the endgame so there's a number of different type of
cops that might pull you over if you're interested in learning more about the
additional types of cops you can check out the next cleaner playlist and I'll
link to it here if you've watched my videos and my tips have helped you out
that's awesome please tell me about in the comment
section if you're new to the Channel right now February of 2018 I really have
two different types of videos that I'm making longer format videos like this
that address a topic that I think is important for everyone to know and then
shorter vlog style topics or videos that I give you behind the scenes look at the
current strategy and problems that I encountered during my week in court not
a single week goes by that I don't have a great topic for a video let's shift
gears and talk about the anti-gun side of this Broward County shooting and I'll
start by saying once again my prayers to all those affected by the horrific
events including you Scott Peterson you're probably gonna need some
counseling after this and I highly encourage you to get help sooner than
later my social news feed has been loaded with
people pushing for gun control based on this and the other incidents I don't buy
it I don't think the answer to reducing violence is to take away guns but it
seems like every time I engage in the gun debate I get teamed up on or things
turn towards an illogical can based upon emotional beliefs I can do it
it's just tiring at the end of the day I'm really not able to convince many
people to come to my side and they damn sure haven't changed my views so really
what's the point I got better things to do but some of the people out here are
pushing that we arm all the teachers and that just seems crazy to me but not for
the reasons you might think you see everyone in the industry knows that
physical security involves layers of protection this applies to our schools
too one of those layers is fencing one of
those layers is having locked doors one of those layers have an SRO arming a few
qualified teachers seems like a logical layer to me now I mean a very few we're
not talking about 10 or 20 per school we're talking about maybe one maybe two
officers per school I know a few former cops that are now teachers they should
be allowed to carry in school I know some few combat veterans that are
teaching that should be allowed to carry in schools as well but just because
somebody's a veteran or just because somebody is a police officer doesn't
mean that they automatically have the skillsets where they should be ler or
carrying a gun in school I think there does to be additional qualifications
besides that level above and beyond just being a police officer but certainly
certainly there are plenty of veterans plenty of former law enforcement
officers who would be very qualified to carry a gun in the school I don't know
what that number is hopefully would be at least one per school we now send
those officers to training with the Sheriff's Office once a year if any
Police Department who's not doing active shooter training at least once a year
that that's that would be insane too so we know they're doing it we know they're
doing active shooter training they better be doing it you have one day out
of the years done during the summer so the teachers are all at a school and you
do your active shooter training on that day and that teacher comes and the
teacher learns the current trend learns what to recognize learns behaviors
learns what the police response is going to be now you have a second first
responder besides the SRO on scene as things are unfolding but to arm all the
teachers that would make them cannon nothing against the teachers that
wouldn't qualify or even the veterans that wouldn't qualify our law
enforcement officers I don't think would qualify
I'm sure you could qualify but the time and preparation that it would take to
get there would be substantial you can't just ten an eight-hour class
and think that you're gonna be prepared to take a life because even if you take
that eight-hour class you take a life especially a young kid or maybe some of
you know that is going to mess you up pretty good
mentally and unless you're prepared to deal with that and be able to pull the
trigger that's gonna require substantial work and substantial training on your
part I think the barrier to entry would be substantially high now if you wanted
to go up and take some private courses and tactical firearms and and and spend
you know six eight months of your life doing that on the weekends I think you
get there pretty quick I don't think it would take a whole lot but it would be a
mindset and it would be tactical training and that would not be a short
endeavor if you're the type of teacher that utters the words I don't get paid
enough to put myself in harm's way I'm not sure I want you teaching my kids
being a hero isn't about money very very few times in our life do we
get the opportunity to save others by putting ourselves at risk that's not
about money it's not a job title that's about you as a person you've got your
shot to be a hero do you take it
now the good news is chances are most of you will live your whole lives never
being put in that extraordinary circumstance but when you are placed in
that circumstance if you are do you want to be the hero if so it requires nothing
more than a little bit of training and a lot of mental preparation I learned
about this the hard way after my first shooting I was an emotional mess I
wasn't mentally prepared to engage in personal violence at such close range
and I got into Dave Grossman he has a book on killing a fantastic book put a
link to that below but after the shooting I began to take violence
seriously I regularly meditated and placed myself in bad scenarios and then
my mind carried out the best action to save the most people I've mentally been
in turnover car crashes I've mentally been an active shooter scenario that I I
mean hundreds and hundreds airport I can tell you it's just part of my life I
remember back in the army we'd load up into the planes around 8 o'clock at
night and we're gonna be on a training mission so we'd be flying out in the
planes and we'd parachute out of the planes or a drop zone with all our
equipment you know rucksack and guns and everything and we do a simulated mission
and sometimes it was a complex we go into the field for a week sometimes it
was more laid-back less intense from a mission follow-on mission standpoint but
one of the follow-on missions was a 12-mile Road march back to the barracks
so you had all your gear your rucksack your weapon and your LBE everything you
had LC and it was a race to say so it was a timed road march force road march
I was generally first because those days I wasn't as fat and really tall lengthy
and I could run like the wind so I was generally
first but I recall doing that the way I did that the way I came in first was
this I envisioned my mother about to be tortured at the finish line and I played
that scenario over and over my head that she was about to be tortured I went
through different ways of torture even and I would start to cry while I'm
running and jogging it with this all this rut rut gear out of the gear on and
when you have that type of passion that you're gonna save your mom it doesn't
matter that your side hurts it doesn't matter that you can't feel your feet or
your feet are bleeding it doesn't matter that you can barely run and that you
losing your breath well I guess you lose your breath pass out so you got to
breathe but the body can do extraordinary things when your mind is
mentally prepared for it if you want to be prepared when your day comes to be
the hero you've got to start living out some of these during your meditation and
to think about them and to figure out what you'll do and place yourself in any
number of situations that's how you make sure that when it goes down you'll
respond because the body can't go where the mine hasn't been I'd love to hear
what you think about this stuff heck make a video and shoot out a link if
you'd like check out my blog style videos I'll put a link to those in the
description below hit that subscribe button hit the thumbs up and God bless

10 Things We Know or Don't about 'Oumuamua - Duration: 11:39.
Comets and asteroids come and go, but few make as much of a stir as 'Oumuamua.
Toward the end of last year, its virtually unprecedented appearance from interstellar
space made urgent headlines around the world.
And, in various ways, it left an indelible footprint.
While numerous mysteries remain about this curious galactic traveller, astronomers managed
to glean several key pieces of information during its recent fly-by.
Here are some of the most interesting.
10.
It Probably Isn't Alien Technology
The discovery of 'Oumuamua was oddly coincidental with last year's revelations about the Pentagon's
secret black money UFO program.
And indeed the first thought among even seasoned astronomers like Stephen Hawking was that
it could be an alien starship, or at least an artifact from some extraterrestrial civilization.
With the backing of Hawking (as well as Mark Zuckerberg and Yuri Milner) the Breakthrough
Listen initiative set out to detect signs of intelligence from the object, specifically
listening for artificial radio signals.
And while at the time of writing they hadn't found any, the team accumulated a massive
90 terabytes of raw data across billions of individual channels, so a full analysis (including
pulsating signals as well as continuous) may take some time.
That said, another research team carried out spectroscopic observations and concluded that
the object is natural.
Nevertheless, the spot-on timing of 'Oumuamua's discovery (and the inevitable comingling of
media coverage) has fueled a "false flag" conspiracy theory that the military-industrial
complex is preparing us for a staged alien invasion.
Such a bigger, badder menace, it is feared, could potentially clear the way for unlimited
military spending and harsher civil restrictions.
9.
It's Seen as a "Messenger from Afar"
Officially designated 1I/2017 U1 by the International Astronomical Union—the first of a brand
new class—the object's unofficial (but for some equally unwieldy) nickname 'Oumuamua
was given by the Pan-STARRS team that discovered it.
Pronounced oh-MOO-uh MOO-uh, the word is Hawaiian for "messenger from afar arriving first,"
and it's particularly apt considering the potentially breakthrough data the object carries
about the formation of other solar systems.
Assuming it doesn't turn out to be artificial (and even, or especially, if it does!), there's
a lot more we can learn from it too, including the long-term effects of exposure to cosmic
rays.
Astronomers studying the origins of 'Oumuamua have been especially poetic in their appraisal,
describing the object as a "messenger sent from the distant past to reach out to us."
8.
It's Among the Fastest Objects Ever Detected
One of the most surprising things about 'Oumuamua was its incredible speed.
The average asteroid travels at 25 km/s and the average comet at 40 km/s relative to the
Earth.
But when 'Oumuamua was discovered in October 2017, it was going an impressive 60 km/s relative
to the Earth and only picking up speed as it approached the Sun.
At its fastest, just as it slingshot around the star, it reached a blinding 87.3 km/s,
or 196,000 miles per hour (315,431 km/h) relative to the Sun, which kept it from falling in
completely and burning up for good.
Although 'Oumuamua lost speed considerably as it climbed away, owing to the intense gravitational
pull of the Sun, it maintains a velocity of around 26 km/s (93,600 km/h) as it flies along
its new trajectory.
7.
It's Pink
Although a great deal of media attention has focused on the reddish hue of 'Oumuamua,
it's not actually all that remarkable—and it's not actually all that red.
Outside of a star's magnetic field, drifting through interstellar space, objects like 'Oumuamua
are continually exposed to high-energy radiation from cosmic rays.
And, as is well known among astronomers, this continual bombardment substantially alters
surface properties over time.
In fact, the process of color change is so reliable that the redness of an object can
be used to gauge, approximately, how long it's been floating in space.
Since 'Oumuamua is pinkish in color it's unlikely to have been wandering for the billions
of years that some have suggested (and for which our solar system has existed).
Instead, its relatively neutral color suggests exposure for hundreds of millions of years
at the most, a "relatively young" age when it comes to celestial driftwood.
6.
It's Not Really the First Interstellar Visitor
Another media focus has been the rarity of interstellar objects in our solar system,
with many claiming that 'Oumuamua is in fact the first.
It's certainly interesting to note that none of the 750,000 or so asteroids and comets
within our solar system are thought to have come from outside it—even though planet
formation ejects plenty of material into interstellar space.
That said, 'Oumuamua is extremely unlikely to be the first interstellar object to visit.
There are estimated to be more than 46 million such objects crossing our solar system each
year, most of which are just too far away to be seen.
It is, however, the first detectable object known to be interstellar in origin.
And we know this because of its hyperbolic trajectory (a trajectory outside of any central
body's gravitational pull) and its speed at infinity (a velocity higher than escape
velocity, the minimum speed required to escape a massive body's gravitational pull).
That we haven't seen more of these is really just a limitation of our technology; we were
lucky to catch even this one.
As more advanced telescopes come online, astronomers expect to see plenty more interstellar objects
flying through our solar system.
Among other things, this means more opportunities for research and more potential targets for
extraterrestrial life.
5.
It Defies Categorization
When it was discovered by the University of Hawaii's Pan-STARRS1 telescope, 'Oumuamua
was thought to be a comet.
But it had more rock than ice and, although it heated up when it passed the Sun—reaching
a surface temperature of 550 degrees Fahrenheit—no surface ice boiled off and no tail developed.
But it's not an asteroid either; researchers found no signs of the usual minerals, speculating
instead that 'Oumuamua consists of a robust carbon casing around an icy core—frozen
alien water shielded for hundreds of millions of years and unable to boil off in starlight.
In other words, says astronomer Alan Fitzsimmons of Queen's University Belfast, it looks
like an asteroid but it's built like a comet—albeit one that's turned inside out.
Even this theory has been thrown into question more recently, though, since there's no
evidence of water either.
For now, 'Oumuamua is simply referred to as an "interstellar object," or sometimes
more romantically as a sola lapis or "lonely rock."
4.
It Looks Like a Cigar (or a Needle, or an Oddly Shaped Pen, or Maybe Even a Monolith
from 2001)
Widely circulated images like the one above are of course artists' impressions.
Nobody's seen 'Oumuamua up close.
So the question arises: How do we know what it looks like?
The truth is we don't—not exactly.
All we know is that it's around ten times as long as it is wide, and we base this on
observations of light.
As the object spins on its axis (once every 7.3 hours or so), huge fluctuations in brightness
suggest a greater aspect ratio than anything seen before—comet or asteroid.
Imagine a shiny cylinder spinning toward a light in slow motion; you'd see relatively
little light reflected from the ends but, as it rotated, substantially more from the
sides.
Even if you didn't know the shape, you'd be able to guess the dimensions.
As such, 'Oumuamua is thought to be around 400 meters (or one quarter mile) in length
and just 40 meters wide, although some estimates put it at 800×80 meters or even 160 meters
in width.
Whatever the case, the shape is certainly weird, and this could give us clues as to
how other solar systems form.
3.
We May Never Know Where It Came From
There are various theories as to the origins of 'Oumuamua, but none can be taken as fact.
According to one theory, it could be from the Kuiper Belt or Oort Cloud and not interstellar
at all.
In this case, its speed would suggest the presence of an as yet undiscovered planet
whose gravity would be required to boost it.
In earlier simulations, 'Oumuamua's trajectory was tracked back to the bright star Vega in
the constellation of Lyra; however, because it would have taken 300,000 years to reach
us (even at such speeds), Vega wouldn't have been in the same position when 'Oumuamua
is supposed to have left.
Wherever the object originated, it's likely to have been ejected from the debris surrounding
a young star (also known as the protoplanetary disk)—perhaps in the Pleiades—hundreds
of millions of years ago.
It may now be part of an immense interstellar asteroid field, through which our Sun and
its satellites are currently cruising on our journey around the Milky Way's core.
There are estimated to be around 700 trillion such objects per cubic parsec, which is pretty
dense considering a parsec is equivalent to just 30 trillion kilometers.
Based on these figures, anywhere between 2 and 12 interstellar objects should be passing
through the solar system, inside Earth's orbit, every year.
2.
It's Leaving Us, But It'll Take Some Time
'Oumuamua is now on its way out of the solar system, headed back out to the stars at a
rate of 26 km/s.
But even at that speed, it'll take 20,000 years for it to leave our solar system entirely.
Meanwhile, it's becoming increasingly difficult (if it's not yet impossible) to observe
'Oumuamua with existing telescopes—an especially unfortunate situation given its
rarity.
Understandably, astronomers are clamouring for a closer look, and sending a probe to
the object—however far-fetched that sounds—is one of their highest priorities.
Of course, that means chasing 'Oumuamua down and intercepting it at speeds higher
than 26 km/s, which isn't really plausible given current technology.
Even Voyager 1, the fastest object ever launched, can only reach 16.6 km/s.
The longer we leave it, though, the faster we'll need to go to catch up within a reasonable
timeframe, that is, before 'Oumuamua travels too far out for our probe to return data to
Earth.
Laser propulsion—whereby ultra-light, wafer-thin craft are propelled to within 25 percent of
the speed of light by multi-megawatt lasers in orbit—could hold promise, but the technology
is nowhere near ready.
As such, some astronomers are banking instead on laser sails being available in time for
the next interstellar arrival.
1.
It Shows Us How Unprepared We Are for Possible Asteroid Impacts
One of the things 'Oumuamua can teach us is how to better detect near-Earth and potentially
hazardous objects.
But its sudden appearance to our telescopes is a bit of a wake up call.
Were 'Oumuamua's trajectory headed toward Earth, it would have hit us before we'd
even seen it.
The worst case scenario, according to amateur researchers, would have been the leveling
of an entire city with a force equivalent to 2,057 Hiroshima bombs.
Entering the atmosphere at 233 times the speed of sound, 'Oumuamua could have vaporized
everything within at least a 50 kilometer (30 mile) radius of ground zero, killing hundreds
of thousands or even millions of people.
Bigger, more sophisticated telescopes—such as the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope currently
under construction in Chile—will no doubt help us to better detect objects in the future.
But, for now at least, 'Oumuamua highlights a worrying vulnerability to space rocks—especially
considering the Pan-STARRS telescope that discovered it (after it passed by) is specifically
tasked with our protection.

Invest in Your Business or Get a Job - Duration: 5:28.
Hi, my name is James Shepherd.
Today I want to challenge you to either invest in your business, or get a job.
Let me explain what I mean by this.
There is one characteristic that I've seen from entrepreneurs that is totally misunderstood
because of the content that is put out online.
I understand the type of content that goes out there.
A lot of you are watching you know whoever, Gary Vaynerchuk, or Ty Lopez, or whoever these
different people are, entrepreneurs online.
You are seeing their lifestyle.
You are seeing the decisions that they are making now that they are making millions and
millions of dollars.
It is very confusing or at least it can be very confusing.
You need to understand how entrepreneurs really spend money.
Entrepreneurs really spend money on their business.
That's what they do.
Literally I have an employee standing behind the camera, Josh Daku is helping me shoot
some content today.
I could literally, seeing our profit scoreboard, tomorrow I could come into work and say, "Okay,
I'm going to eliminate all of this, this, and this.
Lay off these people," blah, blah, blah, and I could literally make an extra probably
$20,000 a month with literally without even breaking a sweat.
It literally would not even impact, like I could still do it.
It would be a lot of harder work for me to do, but I could do it.
I could eliminate $20,000 a month in expenses like that tomorrow.
Then I could go buy myself a beautiful Ferrari, or whatever, a $10,000 car payment.
I could do that.
Okay, I drove to work today in a blue mini van that's got to be like ten years old,
literally falling apart.
Yes, I bought my wife a nice new car because it is my wife and I want her to be safe and
have a nice vehicle.
I literally could not possibly care any less about the vehicle that I drive.
Other than if it just doesn't fall apart.
If it starts to fall apart, and it is taking my time, that's a big deal to me because
I don't want to waste my time.
But as far as like, "Oh my, somebody is going to see me driving in a blue nasty mini
van."
I could care less.
I don't care.
You can either have money, or you can look like you have money.
I would like to have money.
It is very difficult to have both at the same time.
Now again, you can have money for a long time and then you could have money and look like
you have money, but what you'll find is most people that I see that are driving around
in their, "Ooh, look at my cool BMW.
Look at my Mercedes."
Yea, show me your bank account.
You use all your money for that.
It's stupid.
Let me explain something to you.
If you really want to be in business, now let me back up for a second.
If you are an employee, you have nothing to invest in.
The structure is already there.
If you are making six figures, go buy your Mercedes.
Go get your BMW.
Go do all that, right?
Awesome, good for you.
I'm excited for you.
That's awesome.
Get that big house.
That's cool.
Give to those charitable things that you care about, like you need to do these things.
Here is the situation.
If you are in business, you've got to invest to grow.
You have got to put your money where your mouth is.
"I've got this big vision.
My company is going to be huge."
Yea, prove it.
Stop milking your business and taking 90% of the money out.
Some of you, it is ridiculous.
You've got to invest your money in your business.
If you want to have a business, then when you get money in, the first thing that you
do is you invest in that business and you are like, "Is there anything I can invest
in that's going to have a positive return on my investment, that is going to grow the
business?"
I hired a lead developer like six months ago.
He was making good money.
He is going to make a lot more.
So far, do you know how much money I've made off of that relationship?
Zero.
Do you know why?
Because he is redoing the instant quote tool and building another gateway billing system
for a vertical I want to go after.
We are just now starting to sell it.
That could have been an extra $40,000 or whatever in my pocket.
I mean literally that could have been my I don't know what kind of car you can get
for $30,000 or $40,000, whatever you can get for that.
I have no idea.
That was car paid in cash.
But I decided, "No, no, I want to bring on this developer."
Why?
Because I believe in my business and I want to grow it.
You've got to invest in your business.
Don't you guys give me a hard time in like six months, when I have my video and I'm
like pulling up in my Mercedes or whatever.
I've been doing this for a long time.
I can tell you for a very, very long time the way that I've spent my money and my
wife can vouch for this, is that we do company stuff first.
Early on like ten years ago, when we were starting out, we would invest in our company
before we paid the rent on our house.
Like I'm dead serious.
If there was something I needed for the business, that was something that Christina understood
and we had those conversations early on, and she will tell you right now without any hesitation,
yea, there was electric bills setting here.
There was rent or whatever when we started out.
It was like there is something I need for the business, that comes first.
I'll call the electric company and work out a payment plan.
Like literally that's the level to which I would invest in my company.
Some of you don't have the emotional fortitude to do that and I applaud you.
You may have higher moral standards than I did in those areas, and that's great for
you, but the key takeaway is, if you are not going to invest in your business, then go
get a job.
Because somebody has to invest in the structure that needs to be built around you, so that
you can be successful.
If you are not going to invest in it, go work for somebody who will.
My name is James Shepherd.
Have an awesome day!
