all right can you be an effective one-term president most people say no
that really can't they and when it comes to Jimmy Carter the consensus Reid seems
to be now a better ex-president than an actual president maybe because of his
efforts after he left the White House if you read this book though I'm not so
sure you'll come to that conclusion President Carter the White House years
written by his domestic policy adviser top advisor at that Stuart Eizenstat
it's nearly a thousand pages long but I'm tell you it moves like a rocket as
does he with seamless writing an exhaustive detail interviews with
everybody and anybody and puts in perspective a presidency that then this
is my opinion was looking to drain the swamp in a very different way than maybe
the current White House argument that's not to disparage either president Stuart
Eisen have to enemy right now Stewart excellent book thank you for taking the
time Neal thank you for having me that was my read into it that if you
think about it Jimmy Carter came to Washington as this outside character
from the system who was going to change this system up rooted rip it from its
roots drain the swamp in a different parlance what do you think of it well in
many ways he did for example he campaigned on the theme I won't tell a
lie immediately after the Watergate scandal and Neal he really did so it was
basically a scandal free administration but more important he put in place
ethics reforms the ethics laws of 78 for example which required disclosure of
assets going in limiting gifts when you ran off as limiting the revolving door
going out of office the Office of Special Counsel inspectors general the
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act all of these things were put in place and they
did have an impact and they are having an impact to this very day we still have
a special counsel we still have the ethics requirements and disclosure we
have more transparency so in many ways he accomplished what he pledged to do in
the post watergate era that he ran in you know I suppose there
White House intern during the Carter years you probably remember be getting
you coffee at the time stir but in all seriousness one of the things I do
remember is the earnestness of President Carter and I thought you know a little
too detailed conscious a little too you know in the weeds and I'm wondering
given the fact that Ronald Reagan was up the opposite a couple of clear goal
agendas and focused on the big picture the rap against Jimmy Carter was that he
did not could not what did you make of that well I'm very candid in the book
about our mistakes including Mao and and I think they fall into several
categories of what I call the eyes inflation Iran inexperience by himself
in his Georgia mafia and inner party warfare with a liberal wing but there
was also an issue of too much attention to detail and not setting clear
priorities and that was occasioned by the fact that he didn't have a chief of
staff to discipline the many things he wanted so in the first year he sought
welfare reform energy reform the Panama Canal tax cuts a whole array of things
and didn't set priorities when Congress and Tip O'Neill and others begged him to
do so but because he took so many things on he accomplished a great deal two
independent surveys Neal's show that Congress passed seventy percent of his
major legislation just under the percentage of the legendary Lyndon
Johnson who by the way was the first president I worked for so there were
problems with excessive attention to detail for not setting priorities but
you know when you look at the excessive attention to detail before making
decisions and you look at what's happened since governing by three by
five cards or otherwise perhaps that's not such a bad attribute in terms of
making decisions but we also look at presidencies and presidents in terms of
what they get accomplished in the meantime now you're right to look back
at things like human rights and some of these other efforts that he took that
that might have paved the way for some of the big things that happened post his
presidency but a familiar theme in your book is the fact that all the fighting
had with his own party he had the run of the Osseo the run to the table and
fellow Democrats didn't flip over them to a different extent you could say the
same about you know President Trump who has a kind of
anxious relationship with fellow Republicans and isn't afraid to turn on
them but what do you make of that comparison that you know a lot of people
think if your own party is running the show
and your part right you're gonna have an easier time it's quite the opposite for
Jimmy Carter well the history Neal is when your own candidate within your own
party challenges an incumbent as Reagan did in 70 against Ford or Ted Kennedy
dent against Carter it really divides that solutely and paves the way for the
opposition now why did that happen with Ted in the liberal wing it was because
Jimmy Carter was essentially a centrist he was a fiscal conservative he was
progressive on race and poverty issues but on fiscal issues at a time of high
inflation and budget deficits he really tightened the budget and cut programs
and the liberal wing didn't like that so when 10 ran promising an overall
national health insurance program which would have busted the bank we came back
with a major first phase program which if it had been enacted we'd be much
better off today but the liberal wing wanted it all or nothing so Carter was
in a sense of centrist he was too liberal for the conservative southern
base that helped get elected him elected and he was too conservative for the
liberal wing which was a central also to his reelection and that is the labor
Liberal academic wing so he fell right in the cracks in between and that often
happens with centrists you know he also often times seemed overwhelmed and I
don't know whether he envisioned the problems he would have he pick Paul
Volcker had thought of reserve because he wanted a strong inflation fighter I
don't think he anticipated how aggressive Paul Volcker would be for
those who don't recall mr. vocal would raise interest rates a full point at a
time to forget this quarter point the stuff we see right but no he actually
did that knowing that it hurt him yes and one of the great things look we
inherited high inflation from Nixon and Ford it got worse in our administration
and with the Iranian Revolution and the caught off an oil it went into the
stratosphere he said to us point-blank Neil I've tried everything else
tough budgets wage and price guidelines inflation czars I'm going even going
into an election to take the tough medicine that Paul Volcker has told me
explicitly he's going to do which was tighten the money supply squeeze
inflation out raise unemployment raise interest rates and Carter said I know
this may affect my reelection but I don't want my legacy to be this kind of
high inflation and I'm willing to lose if this is what it means now the
ultimate beneficiary of that two years later was Ronald Reagan and the country
but Carter was willing to take that and he absolutely knew Volcker and a classic
meeting that I described in the Oval Office said that to him yeah and even
Alan Greenspan appraises your book said as much about that wise appointment and
the difference it made having said that way too anticipated that or not I'm just
curious what you make of the Donald Trump comparison the money that at the
outset that that both were in their own way
rebellious figures not only within their party but in the system obviously Carter
a different approach and Donald Trump but it was Jimmy Carter who said
recently if Donald Trump should he succeed at this North Korean summit he
should get the Nobel Peace Prize what do you think of that well look I think the
North Korean summit is particularly important and possibly historic let's
compare it with the Camp David Accords in the egyptian-israeli treaty which was
lasted for 40 years there Neil there was a lot of preparation before Camp David
numerous meetings for months so we knew where the parties were we knew the gaps
that had to be filled at the summit here the North Korean summit has been done
almost on the fly now what happened today could be very important the
meeting between the Secretary of State and mr. Kim who's at the right-hand man
of the supreme leader of North Korea that's important but it takes a lot of
preparation and critically you have to know what the other side wants what's
their redline and what is your redline and if those don't match through
pre-negotiation then the summit can be a failure so I think it's potentially
historic but it's really critical in the run-up and there's only another ten days
or so that those gaps be filled and that we have a
understanding as we did by the differences Stuart was that they had a
lot of time together and they hammer things out of Camp David and all this is
going to be a one and done meeting and you know he's a different it took Neal
it was thirteen agonised absolute days and nights over twenty drafts that the
President himself did negotiating with Sadat and beggin and even then only on
the last night if I may close with one anecdote we were close
the last thirteenth day but bagans said mr. president I can't make any more
compromises the president knew beggin well enough and knew his love for his
grandchildren he got the names of each one autographed personal photos of
himself making us about handed it to beggin at his cabin saw the tears come
in his eyes he put his bags down and said mr. president I'll make one last
try right the rest is history rest is history and the rest is all laid
out in its spectacular book President Carter the White House years it's
remarkable Stuart Eizenstat

CAN U beat a COPPER BOTTOM? - Sailing Luckyfish - Duration: 18:58.
Last time on Luckyfish
we sailed the boat for the first time
rounded the Cape of Good Hope
had a first time for everything
left the boat on the hard stand in South Africa
Zaya got labelled an undesirable person and banned from
returning for 12 months
we arrived back in Mongolia and began preparation for
the Atlantic crossing
Luckyfish was set up for coastal cruising she needed some
upgrades to make her ready
there was a lot to organise and we had to get
ourselves ready too - we continued fitness training
ordering parts
and chatted long and hard about how to make our first ocean voyage success
Zaya's experience would be enhanced if she had some female company and someone to share
her beloved Mongolian language with during the long days at sea
A watch system with three crew is also much better than two
we asked sister Tuya if she would like to join us, she said yes and we are so
happy that she did
Zaya's over stay appeal was taking much longer than the
90 days they told us we had to make a back-up plan
we decided I would go to Cape Town on my own prepare the boat and sail to Namibia
where both Zaya and Tuya would be welcomed
I needed a crew for this and as I was completely new to Wharrams
I needed to learn how to set one up for crossing oceans safely
I dug into the Wharram Hall of Fame looking for expert help
one name popped out Rory McDougall
he sailed the smallest catamaran around the world in the 1990s a tiny Wharram
Tiki 21 an incredible feat but would he help us ?
a bit of googling later and we
found out he has a marine business in England and does the occasional yacht
delivery I phoned him, he was interested we agreed on terms
the only catch was I had to have the boat back in the water before Rory arrived
I packed all the boat parts un-boxed into my suitcases and left for Cape Town to begin work on the boat
in the meantime the girls carried on preparing
In 600 metres, turn right
Yachtport has very high security
Hello
Im going down to my boat. Its at Yachtport
Your boat? Yes, at Yachtport
thank you very much hello you remember me you remember you I went out late one
night I'm living on the boat down there sailing boat and and I think you wanted
some cigarettes or something coca-cola remember I was going out to okay yeah so
I'll be coming in and out quite a bit over the next month okay. So I'm going to be bothering you
Can you open the boot for me please. Yeah, I can. No problem
OK, well, nice to see you again and have a great afternoon
Are you going to watch the rugby? yes of course who's gonna win?
do you think the Boks will win or the All Blacks?
ohhh! the All Blacks
you think the All Blacks are going to win? I like that I like you you're my
friend I think the All Blacks will win too
I'm a New Zealander oh good thank you very much bye bye
I was really surprised to learn that the black population of South Africa generally cheered for the
New Zealand team the All Blacks and not their local team the Springboks they
remember the days of apartheid and the stance the New Zealand rugby union took
boycotting matches with South Africa
I'm just going down to my boat yeah I have a sailing boat here Luckyfish
thank you very much
the wind depth and speed logs on Luckyfish were no longer functioning despite
being only 18 months old
I replaced everything with B&G gear
it began with the removal of the old depth transducer to make room for the new one
The blister on the outside of the hull needed thinning down a bit
The B&G gear has water temperature log and depth all on one through-hull
so the old log was removed and the hole filled
that work completed I began on the nav console
filling the old holes and making way for the chart plotter compass Triton
gauge AIS transponder radar and simnet backbone
The coppercoat had already been delivered
and work was well underway grinding off the hull coatings
back to epoxy
to re-coat a hull with epoxy it is important to remove any
single pack paint first. There were patches of Primacon under the old anti
foul and these needed to be ground off
Luckyfish is coated throughout with two pack epoxy and polyurethane paints
the keel, rudders and trim tabs got an extra dose of epoxy resin before the
rest of the paint system was applied
make sure this is homogenised
I chose Coppercoat because it is more cost effective and is much better for
the environment
now we'll be experts in a couple of hours yeah
it actually mixes nice and quick. It does Yeah.
OK, now comes the hard part. I will give it another
good mix eh?
cos thats the trick with epoxy isnt it? its all in the mixing
It looks pretty mixed. Yeah it does eh? It looks very homogenised
They dont give you any idea how long it needs stirring
when I read the thing there - nicely homogenised.
OK, away you go. OK, keep mixing.
In goes the gold dust. Yeah.
A kilo, or two pounds of
ultrafine copper powder is added to every liter or quart of resin
the epoxy resin is water-based once the powder is added the coating is rolled on as a thin
coat before it sets a second coat is applied and so on in one continuous
process until four coats are completed it is then allowed to cure
Its not going to cover all in one go Nikko, Its going to be four layers
We've only got a certain amount of time
Yeah, so really roll it on. So Move It!
it took 12 liters about three gallons to coat the two hulls and rudders and cost
about 1700 u.s. dollars
the copper coat has already paid for itself and should
be good for another 10 (years)
Wiping the hull every two weeks or so to remove the slime as all it takes and it
sure feels a lot better than sending clouds of ablative anti foul into the
marine environment
we then reblocked the boat to coat the areas we couldn't get to
Um, extend it first Gav. All the way. Let it down
Going down.
then we put a thin shim
ya its moving yeah.
About four days before launching the copper coat requires a sand with 400 wet
and dry sandpaper
we had found that the side decks lifted with wave impacts
particularly in beam seas which no catamarans enjoyed so we fitted some
latches to retain them
I wanted to flip the center deck so the front side of the pod could be used for
storage without blocking the deck hatch
it was a close fit but not close enough Off it went to the workshop for a few
millimeters of adjustments
Four days before Rory gets here
With just a few days to go before Rory arrived, the boat looked a long way from being ready to
set sail for Namibia
and conditions in the port hull aren't much better
All I could do was hope he understood
Next time on Luckyfish
we install a water maker
commissioned a factory to
make a custom rode for our drogue
tour one of the largest sail lofts in the world
Rory arrives and well you will have to subscribe and watch to find out
If you'd like to see more regular uploads from us help us replace camera gear pay for
video uploads then you can become a Patreon or you can make a one-time
donation to Luckyfish through PayPal your generosity is very much appreciated

How YOU can create and publish YOUR own book with less than 3 hours - Duration: 21:00.
hey guys Jim Edwards here and we're gonna talk today about how you can get
your book done super super fast I'm gonna talk in and taking like a month to
do it or six weeks I'm talking about how you can get your book done with a total
of three hours of effort spread out over four to five days now I can tell you
right now that there are people who are immediately in the comments gonna and
that's not true there's no way you can do that there's no way you could create
a good book with only three hours with the effort over four to five days and
you know what they're full of crap because I'm gonna explain to you exactly
how you get it done right now but first let me ask you a question
do you have your own book done yet do you have a book with you as the author
listed on the cover are you like Pete who's able to use his book to get people
into his stock trading courses are you like Dexter who is able to use his book
to get people to hire him to speak are you like Stu who uses his books to get
people into his online coaching and Pt Club are you like masa and Miguel who
use this to get people into their software are you like Karen who's able
to use her book to get very high-end exclusive listings to list their houses
with her I should say high-end sellers are you like me even 20 years ago using
my book to get for sale by owners to list with me and let me sell their house
using this ugly comb bound book that still helped me to get 52 listings my
first year in real estate so if the answer's no you don't have your book yet
then you seriously need to pay attention to what I'm about to show you and if the
answer is yes my question to you is how long did it take you to create your book
because my first book took me four years to write the book four years of sucking
okay and I'll tell you my most recent book took me 78 minutes to create the
content so let me show you how this works this is just an overview of it
so your first step is you're going to decide who you're going to create your
book for who are you actually wanting to create the book for so that they can
hire you as a coach so that they can hire you as a consultant so that they
can buy your products so they can have you come speak so that they can follow
you on social media so you can have all of that authority by the way what are
the first letters in authority that's right
author authors are the ones with authority think about that think about
that for a second so first thing you're gonna do is figure out who that's gonna
take you like five minutes if that long it's gonna take five minutes to figure
out who you're gonna write the book for so next you have to make a little bit of
a night a mind set shift because we're talking about creating your books
content we're not talking about writing your books content why is that because
most people when they write they're actually talking about typing most
people when they type can only type at about 40 to 50 words per minute you may
be able to type faster I can type 90 words a minute
some people do hunt and peck and they can barely do ten whether you can do 40
or 50 or 80 or 90 words per minute you still think faster than you type and
that's the freaking problem is that that's why you have writer's block
that's why you lose your place because your fingers can't keep up with your
head so that's why you're like the dog with squirrel squirrel squirrel squirrel
because all these things are happening and your fingers just can't keep up so
most people can type let's say 50 words per minute but here's the cool thing we
can speak between a hundred and ten and a hundred and fifty words per minute now
that's about the speed that you're thinking maybe a little slower than you
think but pretty darn close so we literally do not think in terms of
writing a book but creating the book and the way that we create the book is by
doing an inter you you are going to be interviewed by a
friend or a business associate or your spouse or somebody is going to ask you a
series of questions to pull the information out of your head and get it
into a form that we can turn into a book now the cool thing here is a business
book today does not need to be three four five hundred pages long a business
book only needs to have between about six and ten thousand words in it because
that's all you need to do to show somebody how to solve a problem so you
notice none of these books up here are super thick none of these are 200-300
page books why because you don't need to be that way and here's the cool thing
you do a 60 minute interview talking somewhere between 110 to 150 words per
minute and that puts you right in the sweet spot of how many words you need to
create the content for your book so you're simply just going to do an
interview with a friend they're going to ask you questions and there are a bunch
of different types of interviews that you can do you can do frequently asked
questions you can do mistakes to avoid you can do rules of the road you can do
step by step you can do beginner's guide there are a whole bunch of different
tracks that you can run down to do an interview so this is gonna take you
between 60 and 90 minutes okay it'll probably take you 20 minutes to get the
interview together because once you know what kind of an interview you're gonna
be doing it's real easy to put together the questions
I've actually spent 10 years as a syndicated newspaper columnist and I
interviewed people all over the world on so many different topics and the thing
is once you've got the track for your interview once you know the the the
filter like the beginners guide or the step by step or whatever you choose the
questions just take care of themselves it's easy so so far we got five minutes
in here we've got 20 minutes playing our interview and then we've got between an
hour and an hour half doing the interview by the way you
can use a free service called freeconferencecall.com
freeconferencecall.com to record the conversation between you and your friend
and you get it back as an mp3 file all of it free all you need is a phone and
everybody's got a phone right and this whole process by the way comes down to
technology and strategy technology what technology do you need you need a smart
phone and you need a computer if you have a smart phone in a computer you
have all the technology you need to publish your own book the strategy is
what I'm going over here okay so it'll take you 60 to 90 minutes to create all
the content you need for your book because you do the interview and once
you're done doing the interview you're done creating then what you're doing
gonna do is you're gonna order the cover for your book you can actually order the
cover for your book at a place called fiber fiber it's gonna cost you anywhere
between ten and twenty five dollars to get your book cover done
all right this is going to take you ten minutes to do why because you're not
going to create the cover for your book listen to me here this is critical that
you understand this unless you are a graphic artist and even if you are a
graphic artist you don't make the cover for your book you're creating a book
quickly not spending hours and hours creating the cover for your book or
worse yet creating the cover for your book yourself and making it look like a
five-year-old who just snorted a pixie stick at midnight on Halloween and then
logged into their computer and made the cover in Microsoft Paint
major cover that is not the cover that you want do any of these books look like
they were made by a five-year-old who had just snorted a Pixy stick no they
were made by a professional graphic artist and the cool thing is you can get
a professional graphic artist to do your cover for between 15 and 25 bucks and
you only invest 10 minutes in the process why because you go order the
book cover boom done see three hours spread out over four or five
days why are we ordering the cover now because it's going to take a couple
three days to get it back so we want to order it now instead of waiting so that
we don't have to wait later once we get this back so what's the next thing
you're gonna do well you're gonna take this mp3 and you're gonna go over to a
site called rev.com and you're going to have someone transcribe the mp3 yes
they're going to take your words that are in audio in the mp3 and they're
gonna transcribe it for a dollar word okay so if you do a 60-minute interview
it's gonna cost you 60 bucks you'll probably get it back in about 24 hours
all right so once you get it back then you're going to do a basic edit now what
is a basic edit a basic edit means that you're gonna go over spelling and
grammar and you're probably gonna break up big blocky tear paragraphs and things
like that so this is going to take you five minutes to order the transcription
this is probably going to take you somewhere around 30 minutes as long as
you do a basic edit now if you want to spend 6 8 10 12 hours going over every
single word of this be my guest but it kind of defeats the purpose because
we're interested in getting the content out of your head we're not trying to win
a Pulitzer Prize here we're trying to create a book that people can read and
see like Oh ding yeah that's what this guy sounds like this would this is what
he's saying this sounds like this person one of the things that you can do is to
add a cover letter I do this to all my books that basically just says this hey
thanks for buying my book I just want to let you know this was originally created
as a live interview and that's why it reads as a conversation because I wanted
you to feel like I was talking with you rather than talking
at you see what I mean great angle right now so as soon as they read that they go
oh okay this reads as an a would you like an extra tip would you like an
extra you got to tell me in the comments down below if you want something extra
if you want an extra really cool tip I will give it to you so do you want it
you gotta say yes say something in the comments down below I'm gonna wait I'm
still waiting you need to let me know okay here we go what is the thing that
most authors do after they write a book they go in the studio and literally read
their own book to create the audiobook version well guess what you have already
done your audiobook version is already done you just flip the process on its
face and instead of writing the book and reading the book you spoke the book and
then have the speaking transcribed now that is a million dollar tip so you can
use this a bunch of different ways I don't want to go into this too much but
one of the ways that you can build a list because that's how a lot of authors
make a lot of money is you can offer the audiobook for free inside your book if
people will go to your website and register their book think about that
okay you have the audiobook that you can use
as a free bonus or what a lot of people do when they sell their book they use
their they use the mp3 as an upsell so people go to buy your book for 20 bucks
and then for an extra 17 dollars you can get the audiobook version all of a
sudden you've gone from a 17 dollar sale to a 37 dollar sale pretty cool right so
let me know if you like that in the tip that tip in the comments below I'm just
curious if you thought that was cool it's one of the coolest things I've ever
done so the next thing you're gonna do once you've done your edit
as you're going to have the book formatted do you think you're gonna
format your book if the answer's no you're absolutely right if you think the
answer is yes you haven't been paying attention you are not going to format
your book you're not going to learn about gutters you're not going to learn
about pagination you're not going to learn about kerning or headers or
footers or any of that stuff what you're gonna do is hire somebody to format your
book and formatting the book is gonna cost you somewhere between ten and
fifteen bucks okay and it's gonna take you about ten minutes to get it
formatted why cuz you're gonna hire somebody to do it now here's the kicker
once you get it back guess what you're done all you have to do is go over to
Amazon and upload the book that's somebody else formatted upload the cover
that somebody else made fill in a few blanks with the sales copy for your book
which I'm going to talk to you about in just a second and literally in five
minutes you can publish your book to Amazon
it's literally copy paste copy paste click a few buttons tell them how much
to charge and whack the button and if you want to make it a paperback which I
highly highly encourage then you can use Amazon's print-on-demand service and
it'll be another five minutes to upload at a different place how much does this
cost you zero amazon doesn't charge you a dime to publish your book so let's add
this up real quick okay five minutes here twenty minutes here so that's 25
minutes say 60 minutes here so you only do an hour if you want to be an
overachiever you can so that's 85 minutes 10 minutes here 95 minutes 5
minutes here 100 minutes 30 minutes here that's 130 minutes my math going to hell
right now ten minutes 140 plus 10 minutes 150 what
is that that's 2 hours and 30 minutes so you can even screw around in here and
a little bit longer or take a little longer and you're still well below
around the three-hour mark but it's just spread out over time and the vast
majority of the work that's getting done is being done by other people what is
our total investment going to be on this well it's free to do this cover is gonna
cost you let's take the average of that 20 bucks let's say you talk for an hour
that's 60 okay so that's $80 plus the formatting 10 to 15 90 95 bucks total
investment how could you go wrong so by using technology and strategy by
understanding the process you're able to get your book done your first book your
next book and make a huge difference in your life by using technology and
strategy so I want to tell you how you can use technology and strategy even
more because I have a suite of software and training and checklists and every
resource you need to be able to do this process super super fast it has been
used by thousands of people to understand how they can do exactly what
I have just described to you right here and shown you this process Stu for
example right here Navy SEAL been publishing books for 20 years used my
method to create this book it became a number one bestseller on Amazon and he
had his biggest and best month in the history of his business on Amazon ever
not with a book that he spent months writing but a book that he invested
three hours in creating so it's not about working hard and I know that there
are haters and that'll say how good can a book be the only to use bla bla bla
bla bla and I'd ask them where's your book where are your sales okay so I can
show you exactly how to do it step by step by step literally like you're
looking over my shoulder like I'm sitting in your living room with you
showing you hey click here hey click there hey fill this out whack that
button copy and paste this literally showing you exactly what to do
leaving nothing out and I'm gonna let you use all my training all my software
all my processes all my checklists I'm gonna let you use it for free that's
right you didn't miss hear me I'm gonna let you use all of it for free so that
you can have your own book so that you can have that thrill of selling your
book of handing your book to somebody and saying hey you know I really enjoyed
meeting you and I want to make a little note to you in here if I can ever help
you here's a copy of the book think about what a difference that's
gonna make in your business and again to the people who would say there's no way

How can I be sure I won't be left behind? - Duration: 5:13.
Ankerberg: Final question for you, Ed.
And that is that you've got a buddy that wrote a bestselling book, Left Behind, and
there are people that are listening that are on the fence, okay?
They haven't become a Christian yet.
They're listening to this; they find it really fascinating; there's kind of a pull;
but they haven't accepted Christ yet, okay?
What can you say to those folks?
Hindson: The promise of the rapture is only for real Christian believers.
Not people that just profess it or have some mental assent toward it, but have really made
a commitment of their heart to Christ by faith.
When the rapture promise is given in 1 Thessalonians 4, it says there very clearly "the dead
in Christ."
So those are Christians who've already died, spirit's gone to heaven, "absent from
the body, present with the Lord."
But their body's in the grave.
At the rapture their spirit is reunited with their body which is going to be resurrected.
And then he says, "And we which are alive and remain."
And he's writing to the believers at Thessalonica.
So in the rapture the dead in Christ are raised; the living in Christ are caught up in the
rapture.
Wherever you put the timing of it, the fact of it is clear in the Bible.
There is a time when Christ will return, the trumpet will sound, the archangel will shout,
the dead in Christ will be raised, and the living will be caught up.
The real question is, if Jesus is coming for His own, is He coming for you?
Because for those that are left behind at that point, then the trouble of the tribulation
period breaks out: the wrath of the Lamb, the wrath of God, and even the wrath of Satan.
You don't want to be left behind.
You want to know that when Jesus comes, He's coming for you.
You want to know that if you were to die and you were to step into eternity, you're going
to meet Him either as your Savior or as your judge.
And you have to decide what that's going to be.
I want to urge you; Bible prophecy's not written to just stimulate our curiosity about
future events, knowing how to put all the pieces of the puzzle together.
It's really written to prepare us to be ready to meet the Lord when He comes.
This should give you an impassioned desire to say, "I want to know Him personally.
If He's that wise and that brilliant and that omniscient that He knows the end from
the beginning, I need to know that I know Him.
If He's the one who died for my sins and rose from the dead, if He's the one that
can change my life, I need to know that I've committed my life to Him."
And if you've never done that, we'd urge you right now, you might stop and call on
the name of the Lord.
That's the appeal of Scripture.
You have to do it.
We can't pray you into heaven, you have to pray.
You have to call.
You have to say, "Yes, I believe."
You say, "How do I do that?"
Well, you might do it something like this.
You might just say: Dear God, I do know that I am a sinner and
I'm deserving of that wrath and judgment.
But I really do believe Jesus died on the cross for my sins; that He took my place;
that He rose from the dead; and offers me the gift of eternal life.
And because I believe that, I'm believing in Him as my personal Savior.
Pray by faith in Jesus' name.
Commit your soul to Him, your eternal destiny to Him.
He'll hear your prayer, He'll answer your prayer, He'll save your soul, He'll guarantee
your eternal destiny.
You can know.
The Scripture says, "These things are written that we might know that we believe."
You can have the assurance that you're on your way to heaven today because you put your
trust in Him.
You're not trusting yourself to get there, you're not trusting what you did to get
there, or your good works to get there, or your church membership or lack of it to get
there.
You're trusting the blood of Jesus Christ is sufficient to atone for my sins and I am
ready to commit my life to Him.
Pray that right now and ask God to answer your prayer, and He will.
Ankerberg: And, folks, if you prayed that prayer, there's a promise in Scripture you
can look up, Romans 10:13.
Very simple, "Whosoever," put your name there.
"Shall call upon the name of the Lord;" if you just prayed that prayer with Ed in
your heart to the Lord and you meant it, He looked down, He heard what you said.
He saw it.
And if you meant it, what are the last three words in that verse?
"Shall be saved."
That's what God did, that's His promise.
He will save you if you'll call to Him.
And so I hope that you've done that.
And if you have, use that as a promise.
And put a little date next to that verse.
Romans 10:13—today is the day I prayed that prayer.

Customs CG Can't Be Campaigning For You — Melaye Hits Buhari On ReturnTo Senate - Duration: 2:19.
Dino Melaye, the senator representing Kogi West at the National Assembly, is only two days old at the Senate since his ordeal with the Police and the court in both Abuja and Kogi State, but he is ruffling feathers already.
On Thursday — a day after asking to be allowed to seat with Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senators on return to plenary for the first time in nearly two months — Melaye stopped short of asking President Muhammadu Buhari to sack Hameed Ali, Comptroller-General of the Nigeria Customs Service (NCS), as Chairman of the Buhari Support Organisation (BSO).
"The Comptroller-General of customs is the chairman of the Buhari campaign organization; the Comptroller-General is a rank and shouldn't lead a campaign organization," he said.
Ali it was who led the BSO to Buhari's office on May 22 for a conversation that led into Buhari suggesting that a former president (ostensibly Olusegun Obasanjo) spent $16bn on power projects with nothing to show for it.
During the conversation, the President also lambasted the National Assembly, saying: "Let anybody come and confront me publicly in the National Assembly. What have they been doing?. "Some of them have been there for 10 years. What have they been doing?".
Melaye has now made it clear that the comments did not go down well with him. "Sen.
Dino Melaye cites Order 14 states that Mr President through Channels and AIT insulted @nassnigeria saying he does not know what they are doing and many of us have been here for over 10 years yet, have nothing to show for it," the official handle of the Senate tweeted later.
"This statement is demeaning to the @nassnigeria," Melay said. "I call on Mr President to apologize on the statement issued by him to the National Assembly.".

How Small Business Can Win On YouTube - Duration: 7:14.
How can a small business like yours win on Youtube?
Let's find out.
HEY.com!
Hey, this is Dane Golden of HEY.com.
This is the channel where we give you
video content marketing tips to help get your customers
coming back to your videos again and again.
So is it possible to grow your small business on YouTube?
Well, today we're going to talk with Steve Goers,
one of my clients from the company Workshop Hero.
They have a product called Metal Rescue,
which is a non-toxic rust remover,
and they sell it in Home Depot, and AutoZone.
But they're not a big business,
they don't have a big budget, and
you wouldn't think of that type of company
being totally digitally savvy, but they are.
What Steve is doing is he's making
a lot of how-to videos that show you
how to take rust off of various products.
Automotive, motorcycle, bikes, antiques, toys.
Almost anything under the sun - tools.
And I'm going to show you how he's doing it.
Well, he's going to show you.
Now, I only get to work with Steve about once a month.
He calls me once a month or so, and he says,
"Hey, I have some questions."
It's really driven by him.
I'm really just a consultant,
I'm not doing any of the production,
I'm just giving him guidance, showing him
what the analytics are telling him
about what's working and what's not,
and then advising him on best practices.
He's going to tell you how to make your business
successful on YouTube, so here's Steve
from Workshop Hero, Metal Rescue.
Hi, I'm Steve from Workshop Hero.
We make a product called Metal Rescue
Rust Remover Bath, and we're not a large company,
we don't have a massive budget for our marketing,
so one of the outlets that we use
and we try to utilize is YouTube.
The reason we picked YouTube is because
Metal Rescue, it's a visual thing.
You take it apart, you soak it in it,
so it's got good befores and afters,
and really just getting the word out
on how this is used is a big seller for us.
So we started utilizing YouTube.
We thought we were doing pretty good,
we had around a million and a half views.
We had over 160 videos on the YouTube channel.
But for some reason we were stalled.
And to dive into the YouTube analytics,
and to figure out YouTube, and how to create those videos
was just too much for us.
So we found Dane, or I found Dane from HEY.com,
brought him on, showed him our situation,
and from that point on we're over 3,000,000 views now.
And our videos are just through the roof,
and the reason for that is because,
Dane picked apart every little part of our video,
our video process, how our page looked,
from the way the YouTube thumbnail looked,
to the description, to even launching the video
to our other social networks.
He's just a good guy.
No, uh.
So our end goal with our YouTube is to create sales.
What we're trying to do, we're trying to push people
to our stores, which is Home Depot, AutoZone,
and Canadian Tire.
So here at Workshop Hero, makers of Metal Rescue,
we've created our own little workshop here.
So the feel of Workshop Hero is to take the work
out of your workshop, so the people that we're
trying to market, and talk to, they all have workshops
like this, they're all collectors of some sorts,
collecting rusty things.
Some they want to de-rust, some they want to keep the rust.
We love rust too, so we're not all about
getting rid of rust, but we got a lot of cool stuff here.
Old signs, this little gas pump.
Our product here, da di da di da, ya going to edit this out?
Yeah, hey!
So, the reason why we have this set
is so that we have somewhere
where we can shoot videos quickly.
We're not looking to make a big production
out of all of our videos, because it's necessary,
it's necessary through Dane's advice at HEY.com
that we can put content out once a week.
Regular content that goes out to our subscribers.
So this is why we created our own little studio here.
Hey, one of the cool things that Dane taught me
that I want to tell you about today
is, best way to find a topic for a video on YouTube.
Now, what Dane taught me was you just take a topic,
so we make a rust remover, so I would
type in the YouTube search bar,
how to remove rust from whatever,
and the cool thing about that is,
YouTube will auto populate the most trending topics.
So what comes up could be anything,
how to remove rust from a motorcycle,
how to remove rust from an engine,
how to remove rust from really anything.
So what I'll do is I'll take the most popular topics,
and then that'll be my next video.
So here at Metal Rescue, we do a lot of how-to videos.
And Dane suggested that how-to videos
are the way to go on YouTube.
For our product, which is a rust remover, it solves issues.
After Dane took a look at our channel,
dove into some analytics, what he found was that,
what we found was that most of our people
are on the weekends trying to solve problems.
So they're looking for a solution to their problems,
so what's the question that they're asking?
How to remove rust from my disc brake,
how to remove rust from my motorcycle gas tank,
how to remove rust from really anything.
And we solved the problem with a YouTube video.
So there's a lot of different topics
that you could put on YouTube.
What is the best topic to use?
Do you mention competitors, do you mention other methods?
What I found with Dane is that, you know,
because we make a rust remover,
there are multiple ways to remove rust.
There are multiple videos out there
on how to remove rust as a DIY using vinegar,
molasses, Coca Cola, all of those are rust removers.
Which, in some cases, may be our competitor.
So what we did, under Dane's suggestion,
was to create a video comparing the two.
And, of course, our product did better.
And what that did was that, now we could have a video,
how to remove rust using vinegar versus Metal Rescue.
So now it's a video about how to remove rust
with vinegar, which is a high search video,
but it has our product in it,
and our product comes out on top.
And that's the way we did it.
Now Metal Rescue has a very
easy to demonstrate product, don't they?
It's very physical.
You put something into some liquid,
and later the rust has been removed.
But each business has a way of sharing
their own expertise on YouTube.
It may be about the business specifically,
or something that's somewhat tangential to the business
that is what people are searching for.
What do you think about sharing your expertise
on YouTube in a way that helps your customers?
Tell me in the comments below.
Or just email me at help@HEY.com.
HEY.com is about helping you get your customers
coming back to your videos again and again.
How do you do this?
By sharing your expertise, because when you
share your expertise in a way that helps people
live their lives better or do their jobs better,
you'll earn their loyalty and their trust,
and their business.
My name's Dane Golden, channel's HEY.com,
you're about to subscribe I think.

I'm considering quitting my course because I can't manage my studies with MS. - Duration: 4:05.
I'm considering quitting my course because I can't manage my MS and studying.
Okay.
Well, I think that's really, you know, sort of sad to hear, sort of point isn't it,
really?
Because I don't think anybody wants to be in that position where you really feel you
can't go on, because obviously, you know, you chose to go to uni or to do that course
for a reason.
So I think the main thing is really, just sort of seek some support, and then it's
about who you seek that support from.
Friends and family, obviously, talk to them.
But really, if it's from an academic institution you need to be speaking to them to find out
what support they can give you.
And what exactly is it that you're finding difficult?
Is it the MS that you can't manage effectively and you need some support with?
Is it studying?
Is it both?
Is it factoring both of those into your life that's proving too difficult?
And I think really, you know, there's techniques, there's strategies out there that will help
you.
There's so many different things.
So if you have your assessment, for example, for a disability student allowance and you
have the needs assessment and they identify some of those difficulties you're having,
with you, then you can work together to form a plan of what equipment might help me, what
kind of gadgets or aids might help me.
What kind of techniques?
So planning and prioritising and managing my time might help me feel less overwhelmed.
You know, there are ways that they can defer, you know, you could defer if you have to,
you can extend deadlines if you need to for assignments.
So rather than sort of ending your studies, maybe it's about trying some different techniques
and strategies and equipment, seeing if that works, with support kind of regularly monitoring
that, and then if not, you know, you can think about changing the goalposts a bit, you know,
people can go back to university after a break and there are options rather than just stopping
altogether.
Okay.
I know a lot of people that have left university, sort of staying away to do it in favour of
distance learning instead, like the Open University, but I always think the worry with something
like the Open University is that their degrees aren't as sort of professional, I suppose,
as a university where you go and study.
Do you think that's the case?
Gosh.
I don't, I wouldn't personally say that.
I mean I'm no academic, but, you know, it's a degree from a recognised higher education
facility and I think, you know, if you've got MS and that's the outcome you've decided
is the way to achieve your goal, you're still achieving that goal, it's just through
a different medium really, it's through a different university.
And I don't think, I don't think that would be an issue.
I mean, obviously, it might depend on what degree you have and what university options
are and what career you might then want to go into, but I think the fact is, you've
still achieved what you want to achieve and I think when you're doing something like
that and you're dealing with the effects of your MS as well, that needs to be taken
into account, you know, that you are doing your best and what you've achieved is because
you've had to make those adjustments perhaps.
And people change courses and universities all the time, don't they, really, for whatever
reason.
Sometimes just because they don't get on with that one or it's too far from home.
So many reasons why somebody might change, so I don't think it would be, personally
I wouldn't see it as an issue.

Let's Play Far Cry 5 Part 47

Why the Limited Effects of Minoxidil can Wane Over Time, and More Effective Hair Loss Treatments - Duration: 8:57.
Minoxidil is a very popular hair loss treatment which is easily available, and doesn't require
a prescription.
Both men and women can use minoxidil for genetic pattern hair loss.
However, it is common for people to not find it limited in effectiveness , or feel that
it stopped working.
I'll discuss the role of minoxidil in the treatment hair loss and how I make decisions
about its use in consultation with patients about hair loss everyday in my practice.
I'm Dr Amiya Prasad.
I'm a Board Certified Cosmetic Surgeon and Fellowship Trained Oculoplastic Surgeon.
I've been in practice in Manhattan and Long Island for over 20 years.
Managing hair loss has been a significant part of my practice beginning with surgical
hair transplant and developing strategies to maximize hair coverage after transplantation.
In an effort to improve the outcomes in hair transplant surgery using a material called
extracellular matrix, a door was opened around 2011 to apply regenerative medicine technology
to nonsurgically treat male and female pattern hair loss we call TrichoStem Hair Regeneration.
This nonsurgical treatment made a significant impact on bot male and female pattern hair
loss resulting in us treating patients from around the world since 2011.
In fact, we made such an impact on female pattern hair loss which prior to our work
was treated mostly with minoxidil with limited success.
Minoxidil was originally a drug used to treat high blood pressure.
A side effect of the drug was the stimulation of hair growth which soon became more popular
for topical hair loss treatment.
Minoxidil is available over-the-counter as liquid and foam.
Custom solutions are sometimes available through doctors of but the higher percentage does
not necessarily mean more effectiveness.
A common side effect of topical minoxidil use is scalp irritation and redness.
Many men and women have found minoxidil to help with their hair coverage at least in
the short-term.
Many also find that it really makes no difference with their hair coverage.
Minoxidil does not work with everyone.
While the exact mechanism of how minoxidil works on hair is not known, it appears to
delay the normal hair shedding cycle, and extend the hair growth cycle so users have
more hair on their scalp at a given time.
It needs to be used daily to sustain the effect, and people who discontinue minoxidil often
report hair shedding soon after they stop using it.
Even with consistent daily use, hair loss continues to progress.
In my clinical experience, especially with our experience after developing TrichoStem
Hair Regeneration, I find minoxidil to be of limited value.
Minoxidil can stimulate hair growth, but most users report that growth usually consists
of fine hairs that don't grow very long, or never grow thick, and these hairs shed
easily.
In the case of male pattern hair loss, minoxidil does not affect DHT or dihydrotestosterone,
which is important in male pattern hair loss.
For women, minoxidil is one of the few hair loss treatments available.
Of the two medical hair loss therapies available for men, minoxidil and finasteride, I find
finasteride to be a more effective treatment since it blocks the formation of dihydrotestosterone,
or DHT, which in DHT-sensitive men, causes scalp hair to thin.
However, we've observed that even if finasteride can be used continuously to control DHT, it
is limited to primarily slowing down hair thinning with some regrowth.
People who come to see us typically start treating their hair loss by first buying minoxidil
and applying it.
They come in because they recognize that they are still progressing and often will report
scalp irritation.
I evaluate every patient with microscopic photos and specific standardized digital photography.
Having performed Hair Regeneration treatment since 2011, I've accumulated a lot of data
and first hand experience.
At this point I've developed a Hair Loss Profile classification system which I use
to customize treatment plans.
Factors which I look at include gender, current age, age of onset of hair loss, severity of
hair loss, medical history, and other hair loss medications.
These are used to assign the patient a hair loss profile which determines the formulations
delivery method and treatment plan.Although hair loss is progressive, with our treatment
we've been able to stimulate hair growth, prolong the hair growth cycle, and induce
thinning hair to become thicker.
As mentioned earlier, this has made a significant impact on the treatment of female pattern
hair loss which previously was treated mostly with minoxidil.
With our treatment plans in place, more than 99% of men and women see significant improvement
in their scalp coverage.
In contrast to minoxidil which requires daily application, we are able to achieve long term
results ranging up to 5 years or longer with one or two injection sessions.
Most of my patients do not stay on minoxidil after undergoing Hair Regeneration.
Some people I wean off of minoxidil to avoid shedding related to sudden cessation of use.
For male Hair Regeneration patients, I make a determination about their relative sensitivity
to DHT or dihydrotestosterone and prescribe finasteride accordingly.
Hair Regeneration, hair transplant, or any other hair loss treatment are not cures for
hair loss.
Hair loss is managed.
Hair Regeneration is about maximizing hair growth and coverage for as long as possible.
The effect of Hair Regeneration working can be seen as early as three weeks however, there
is continuous improvement which goes on for 15 to 18 months before the hair coverage appears
to be stable.
As far as time required is concerned, most patients return to work the next day.
We treat many patients who come from around the world and many actually fly home the same
day as treatment.
At a time where regenerative or stem cell-based technology such as TrichoStem Hair Regeneration
have been shown to be so effective, the role of minoxidil in the management of hair loss
is of limited value in the treatment plans I provide for my patients.
I hope you found this information helpful...thank you for your question.

Silence U Pt. 3: Can the University of Chicago solve the campus free speech crisis? - Duration: 10:44.
A new type of protest has descended upon college campuses,
one committed to shutting down political opponents.
Over and over, we've watched students successfully shout their school into submission.
"The University is ours!"
With one notable exception...
"One college institution taking a stand for free speech."
"Interesting little note at the University of Chicago to the incoming students."
"We do not cancel invited speakers."
"And none of those 'trigger warnings.'"
"And we do not condone 'safe spaces.'"
"The declaration of war on political correctness."
Why is the University of Chicago the place that's pushing back?
And in a country drowning in political thuggery, can it survive?
Well, let's go find out!
(music)
[SHWEDER] You're entering a rather special place.
An institution that's dedicated to asking deep questions,
being willing to challenge received truths,
The University of Chicago is off the scale in terms of intellectual intensity.
[MONTZ] In trying to figure out the origins of that intensity, I kept bumping into one name.
[SHWEDER] Robert Maynard Hutchins became president around 1930.
Hutchins had controversial views about the nature of undergraduate education.
[MONTZ] Hutchins envisioned something like a military academy for the mind,
one grounded in a demanding core curriculum.
[HUTCHINS] The aim of education has to be to develop intellectual power.
[MONTZ] At the time, Chicago was a football powerhouse,
boasting the first ever Heisman trophy winner, and Chicago helped create the Big 10,
the oldest college football conference in the country.
[SHWEDER] He was very much against athletics dominating an academic environment.
[MONTZ] Hutchins condemned football as an infernal nuisance. and promptly disbanded the school's team.
[FOLDI] Our biggest sports are Ultimate Frisbee and Model UN.
[MONTZ] Model UN is not a sport!
[FOLDI] Model UN...We are the best Model UN team in the world.
[MONTZ] The message from subsequent presidents is clear:
'We're here to shape you. Not serve you.'
[GRAY] Universities have increasingly come to be regarded as paternalistic welfare states.
Education is not meant to make people comfortable; it is made to make them think.
[SHWEDER] Sometime in the 1990s, Harvard undergraduates put together what they called the 'Fun Index.'
The University of Chicago was ranked number 300 out of 300, just behind the US Military Academy.
[MONTZ] Hutchins helped lay the groundwork for a world class argument abattoir,
a place where bad thinking gets brutally dissected.
And that abattoir is fueled by provocation.
(music)
[KOGANZON] There was a willingness to say crazy things
just for the sake of putting them out there and forcing people to sort of, you know, 'Fight me!'
(music)
[SHWEDER] Provocation is a virtue.
The assumptions that you hold get challenged.
[MONTZ] Provocation makes you do something you desperately don't want to do:
confront your own ignorance.
[SHWEDER] That can be upsetting, but it's in pursuit of truth.
[MONTZ] And even toxic provocation is useful.
[MONTZ] And the way to ensure that everyone is perpetually provoked
is to build in vast ideological diversity.
Everyone thinks everyone else is wrong.
[MONTZ] Now keeping this vicious argument abattoir churning
requires protecting the most controversial voices.
[STONE] During the McCarthy Era,
Chicago was maybe the only institution to stand up for the principle of free speech.
A student group at the University invited the leader of the Communist Party, William Foster.
And officials from the state of Illinois demanded that the University withdraw this invitation.
And Hutchins stood strong.
[SHWEDER] In fact, in testimony with the state of Illinois
in which they were concerned about communists on the faculty,
Hutchins basically said, "I think we need a few more."
[BROWN] I wrote the post, "Three Cheers for White Men" in June 2015,
and the phrase, you know, 'we don't want dead white European males,' so I was teasing.
America is the greatest country in the history of human civilization, not because it is 'white,'
but because it is founded on particular values.
Which got the attention of my colleagues in Medieval Studies across the country,
who wrote the open letter claiming that I was an alt-right sympathizer and a white supremacist.
That open letter gained something like 1,500 signatures.
Nothing happened, and that's exactly as it should be.
[MONTZ] The modern incarnation of smug, silencing activism did, initially, catch the University off guard.
[FOLDI] We had, at our Institute of Politics, Anita Alvarez, our state's attorney at the time.
She presided over the suppression of the footage of a police officer shooting Laquan McDonald 16 times.
"Murdered by a Chicago policeman."
[FOLDI] A unique opportunity to challenge her on the disaster of her tenure.
Within 7 minutes, people from not-campus prevented her from speaking.
[FOLDI] The second event is Palestinian Bassem Eid who is Anti Palestinian government.
"Where is the courageous leadership?"
[FOLDI] Groups like Students for Justice in Palestine from Loyola, DePaul, shut down the entire event.
[FOLDI] One of them shouted, 'I'm gonna follow you at all of your events in Chicago and also blow up your car.'
[MONTZ] But Chicago doesn't capitulate.
It mounts its defenses, including that Summer of 2016 letter to incoming freshmen,
flatly rejecting trigger warnings, safe spaces, and de-platforming.
[SHWEDER] Preserving the groundrules that make an institution like the University of Chicago possible.
[MONTZ] And then Chicago promptly demonstrates
precisely how free speech ought to work on a college campus.
"Newly selected White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer will travel to speak at the University of Chicago,
but not everyone on campus believes Spicer should be allowed to talk.
"Sir, please do not interrupt or shout down our guest."
[MONTZ] This is not an endorsement.
[EDWARDS] What we are hoping to engender tonight is an opportunity for people to ask tough questions.
[MONTZ] Not by mindlessly regurgitating stale slogans.
"Whether it's the president-elect tweeting false murder statistics,
proclaiming he saw thousands cheering the collapse of the twin towers,
the president-elect and his surrogates are committed to lies.
[MONTZ] And open engagement roots out hypocrisy in a way that censorship never could.
"So, why do you deserve our trust?"
[SPICER] I don't think any communicator worth their salt can go out and tell a lie.
This was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration, period.
"Does Sean Spicer remember saying this three weeks ago?"
[SPICER] I don't think any communicator worth their salt can go out and tell a lie.
(bell rings)
[MONTZ] Chicago has accomplished a miraculous feat of intellectual engineering.
A place where reason and logic actually triumph over moral hysterics and partisan tribalism.
But, can it survive?
"The University of Chicago once again finds itself in a raging debate over free speech.
A professor invited Steve Bannon, former top advisor to President Donald Trump, to speak there.
[MONTZ] Unlike previous controversies,
the strongest calls to censor are coming from within the University itself,
with the undergraduate student government, 100 faculty members,
and well over 1,000 alums demanding that Bannon be disinvited.
The pressure seems to be working.
Chicago has yet to set a date for Bannon's talk.
"Steven Bannon normalizes white supremacy."
"Steve Bannon is the symbol of white supremacy in this country."
"We won't stand for white supremacy on campus."
(music)
[MONTZ] What happens on this campus isn't a quaint academic exercise.
This is about building the brains we need to keep the American experiment running.

7 Common Drugs You Can Replace With Turmeric - Duration: 3:29.
Many of the health benefits of turmeric that people in the Far East have been taking advantage
of for millennia can be traced to one very important chemical compound.
Curcumin, the reason that turmeric has a bright yellow color has been touted as a powerful
ingredient with wide-ranging uses.
Some use it as a disinfectant.
Others use it for its cosmetic properties.
Yet, many people prefer to use this compound as a treatment for minor ailments like laryngitis
and more serious conditions like diabetes.
So, thanks to the curcumin, today we can take a look at seven medications that can be substituted
with turmeric.
1.
Prozac/Fluoxetine & Imipramine (Antidepressants) According to research performed within the
last few years, curcumin lowered depression in some animals.
It gave positive results far above Prozac and Imipramine with no side effects.
2.
Aspirin Doctors often advise patients who are prone
to or at risk of blood clots to take an aspirin every day.
Those who find themselves in this position could trade the industrial pharmaceutical
for a more natural choice due to curcumin's ability to inhibit thrombus formations.
3.
Cholesterol Medication Turmeric tested better than Lipitor in studies
done in 2008.
Curcumin has wonderful anti-inflammatory properties and fights oxidation in diabetics.
4.
Corticosteroids Cortisone, hydrocortisone, and prednisone
are types of corticosteroids that reduce inflammation, whether it be topical or internal.
In one recent study, turmeric outperformed these kinds of drugs when dealing with a specific
eye condition that involved inflammation.
5.
Diabetes Medications AMPK is an enzyme present in mammals that
improves insulin sensitivity.
Metformin is a common medication used for stimulating AMPK, but in 2009, scientists
discovered that turmeric was at least 500 times more effective at jumpstarting this
important enzyme in our bodies.
6.
Anti-inflammatory Drugs
Curcumin has proven to be more effective at reducing inflammation than 6 different over
the counter and prescription anti-inflammatory medicines.
Here's the list: Ibuprofen, Naproxen, Diclofenac, Celecoxb,
Tamoxifen, Aspirin.
7.
Chemotherapy Treatment Because of curcumin, turmeric has been used
to fight multiple kinds of cancer including lung cancer, skin cancer, stomach cancer,
as well as breast and ovarian cancers.
It's done better than a leading chemo drug called Oxaliplatin that's often used for
colorectal cancer.
These studies were published in the International Journal of Cancer.
As always, we strongly recommend consulting your physician before substituting any medication
for natural remedies.

Synthetic nerve can sense Braille, move cockroach leg - Duration: 2:53.
Within your fingertips are many sensors
feeding you information on the tactile world
grip, friction, pressure -
all these things you need to pick up a pen
or feel bumps on a piece of paper.
Now researchers have created a synthetic system that
captures many aspects of this biological feat.
This "neuromorphic" system uses flexible electronics
to sense and report on tactile information
Classic computers get along by crunching
large amounts of 1s and 0s
which can add up to a lot of energy consumption.
We can't have our brains
getting hot like an overworked laptop
so our bodies have a super efficient way
of dealing with a barrage of input.
For example --
there is pressure on many sensors on the skin,
those signals are funneled to a single neuron
that, if it reaches a certain threshold,
triggers a response that passes the message on.
Signals from these neurons converge
on the next layer up, which
integrates the information further with other sources.
Here's how the artificial neuron replicates biology:
Touching the pressure sensor increases the
electrical voltage between a pair of electrodes
in the sensor.
That extra voltage is used by a neighboring device,
called a ring oscillator,
to create a string of electrical pulses.
Those pulses, and ones from neighboring rings,
are then sent to a third device,
called a synaptic transistor,
which integrates the incoming signals and generates its
own series of pulses
depending on the pattern it receives.
For example, applying steady soft pressure
produces a series of pulses at a different rate
than applying more forceful pressure.
Researchers showed they could use their sensors
to detect the placement and motion of a small rod
and detect a braille pattern.
They even sent the output pulses to an electrode
inserted in a detached leg of a cockroach
and showed that the insect's nervous system
could receive the pulses and move the leg in response.
None of these parts are particularly new.
But using them to generate responses
to tactile information is.
In the future, cheap and efficient systems like these
could create large arrays of sensors for prosthetics.
And these types of circuits can aid in building robots
that can sense and respond to the environment.
It's fine to have a preprogrammed bot build a car
but when it needs to respond to changes
in the world around i --including moving people--
the more senses the better.

Can you game on a calculator? - Duration: 8:45.
When I went to college for engineering in 2009 I was already alarmed at how the most
common
graphic calculators that we would use in our courses were not very technologically different
from those people in the 90s were using.
And during my time in college, the smartphone revolution happened which brought the cost
of efficient mobile technology down.
So, students today are using devices that incorporate 10 years of technology advances
right?
WRONG
Here is, for example, one of the more "premium" options, the Texas Instrument Nspire CX CAS.
Which fulfils all official regulations for exams in France and comes with such deluxe
features such as a 320x240 screen with an amazing 15 colours with a whopping 100 MEGABYTES
of storage.
This **** is over 170 euros in Amazon
and comes with 3 years of guarantee because it will never get obsolete.
Thanks to the glacial speed of reforms in educational regulation students are stuck
paying for obsolete hardware and of course, the only thing you want to know is... can
you run games in this thing?
You can!
You can connect the calculator to a PC over USB and use the TI Link software.
Which of course did not recognize half my usb ports and took two hours of driver troubleshooting
to connect because this software feels like it was made 10 years ago.
This calculator was 170 EUROS.
*ANGRY NOISES*
But once you can connect you can send files over the 100 megabytes of included memory
and this device can natively run apps written in LUA and a fair amount of people have coded
games for these devices that can be readily downloaded.
All it takes is to go my documents and open the game to play.
From classics like good old Tetris...
to more modern classics like the 2048 game that can be so addictive
or an extremely hard version of flappy bird?
If we want to play something a bit more complex we are going to have to jailbreak this device.
There is a brilliant software called Ndless that modifies this sort of calculator to run
app written in ARM assembly or C.
They have like a full SDK.
This jailbreak software is more stable than the bloody official texas instrument software.
And installing it is a breeze, you create a folder in your calculator called ndless
and move the installer for the latest version there, along with the ndless resources file
and then you open the installer in your calculator.
If everything goes all right you get some nice green text on the upper corner.
And you can uninstall it by simply resetting the calculator with the button on the back.
Before you install, however, you might want to take a look at this.
This is a program that allows you to overclock the calculator.
Yes, overclock your calculator.
All you have to do make it automatic is put in a "startup" folder in your ndless folder
and install ndless.
The install might fail a couple of times as Nover is looking for the highest stable frequency,
and it can crash.
Just try the installation over and over until it works.
So now that it is jailbroken you can go to websites like ti-planet that has lots of cool
little apps.
Here is Doom, the classic PC game, just doing great on the calculator.
The Doom program linked in the description is basically an implementation of the engine,
from which you can load maps that you also need to drop into the calculator and have
on the same folder.
I am using the shareware maps from the original doom here,
but the really impressive community built around this calculator has anything from doom
2, a version of duke nukem 3D which can work quite well,
to a counter strike inspired custom map... wow.
Emulation is another interesting technical showcase.
I was very surprised at how well Gameboy colour emulation worked and looked on this device, probably
because this screen is similar to the one in a gameboy color
Of Course
I do not have to tell you that laws regarding emulation and backups vary by country and
that if you post any links to copyrigthed material in comments I will ban you.
But the emulator itself only requires the program and games.
To move the games using the software you have to add .tns to the file extension and move
them to same folder.
Gameboy advance, not that much.
Obviously, if you luck out with a device that can be Overclocked a fair bit you might see
good results with slower titles.
The gameboy advance emulator requires a genuine gameboy advance BIOS
which is definitely not something I am going to tell you where to get so, you might want
to skip this one.
And yet, turns out we can go to the next level.
While this is a very outdated piece of tech it still has a more complex LCD screen so
I picked
this little guy from a used sale.
This is a somewhat beat up Ti-84 plus, one of the most common graphic calculator around
there.
This is closer to what your mental image of a calculator, a monochrome two colour screen
that is only used for numbers or symbols.
But this thing has a usb port as well, and some software that can be used to send small
applications to the tiny onboard memory.
The first thing that you need is a shell, an application that allows you to navigate
and execute assembler or ti-basic programs.
There are a number of these but the one I like the most was MirageOS linked in the description.
Installing it is a simple as first installing Ti Connect in your PC, connecting your PC
over USB and then navigating to the downloaded MirageOS folder, right-clicking MIRAGEOS.8xk
and sending it to device and making sure the destination is set to archive.
Installing games is basically going to be the same process.
Right-clicking on 8xp and sending it to the calculator.
Once installed you will see MirageOS in the calculator app list, and once you run it you
can navigate between folders and execute games.
Surprisingly there are 2 versions of doom for these types of calculators.
The first, zDoom, is already a testament to what some really clever coders can do.
A simulated 3D game in a 2 colour calculator screen with clear draw distances and interactivity.
There is a surprising amount of animation on these enemies, which can make the experience
a bit slow but no less surprising.
The other is Doom 83, while based on the same maps as far as I could get the models seem
similar to the guards in wolfenstein and the whole thing ran much faster and more efficiently.
Surprisingly, the most shocking and fun game I played on this guy was neither of those
but rather…
this.
This is a very well made version of Fruit Ninja, the addictive mobile game, running
on a calculator.
It has a variety of fruits, bombs, and a 3 live system.
If you are looking for a time waster for a calculator this is very high-quality stuff.
One of the most interesting parts is how this game is played without a touchscreen.
The keys on the bottom of the gamepad are used to simulate a touchscreen, so you slide
your finger through the keys to cut.
This game is a fantastic example of a de-make of a game with a very ingenious control scheme
and the best example of how any control can be used to game creatively.
Kudos to the dev. This is good stuff.
So, with that now you can get some extra value out of one of the most obsolete student expenses
there is.
School regulations for exams sometimes feel like the academic education system is fighting technology
rather than embracing it...
especially when technology has revolutionized modern learning so much.
You can learn almost everything online!
Like in Skillshare where you get access to 20,000 classes in design, business, technology
and so much other stuff.
Premium Membership gives you unlimited access to high-quality classes and
for the listing price of one of these ***** things you can get like a year and half of
Skillshare premium.
I am not even kidding about that, do the math.
Now that is how education should be in the future.
And if you are still unsure the first 200 people to use this link to signup get their
first 2 months of premium for Free.
Thank you for them for sponsoring this video and for actually providing good value in education.
