GIRL: Absolutely.
Particular types of music.
Sometimes. When it's really, really good.
DAN: Yeah? I feel the resonance.
Depends what mood I'm in. Yeah.
Like, sad music. Maybe, like, music that reminds me of a certain...
Like a memory. Yeah.
When there's, like, a really good kick,
I really do like that feeling of... you kind of really immerse yourself.
If I'm cold, yes. (LAUGHS)
Other than that... not that I'm aware of.
Hi. I'm Dan. I'm Linda.
And welcome to What Is Music?
And in this episode,
we're gonna be looking at how music gives you goosebumps.
But first, Linda, what do we actually know about goosebumps?
Well, goosebumps happen when our hairs stand on end.
It's an ancestral connection to furrier friends of ours
who, when they were in a threatened situation,
they looked bigger and more scary.
And having the hair stand on end
also has the advantage of thermal insulation.
Now, over time, this becomes built in to how we behave.
This idea of frisson -
these very strong, intense emotions
that we connect now to shivers
and chills and thrills -
still activate this physical response.
So why is it that music can re-create
some of these physiological responses?
Goosebumps come when there's a sudden change
in our emotional state -
a kind of 'aha' moment of emotionality
where we feel suddenly connected with the music.
We especially feel connected with music
when that music is personally meaningful.
Music that we heard during an important time of our development,
which is called the reminiscence bump,
where music meant so much to our identity
and developing a sense of self.
When we hear that music, it brings back a flood of emotions
and a flood of memories.
And there are ways that we might be able
to trigger these emotional responses using music.
Other emotions, like happiness, sadness,
there are fairly definite ways and almost universal ways.
Goosebumps is far more particular.
You'd be looking at changes in the loudness of the music,
changes in the tempo,
an unexpected harmonic change.
There's also the important factor of being familiar.
So it seems like there's still a lot of research to be done on this topic.
There's a lot of theories that we should be testing out here, Dan.
Yeah. Well, actually, I've got a plan for that.
(ALARM BEEPS)
Well, welcome to the goosebumps sphere.
I love what you've done with the place, Dan.
So, we're gonna be testing what kind of music gives us goosebumps.
OK. And so we got the chair
and we've got a macro lens on this camera here right next to your arm,
so it's gonna pick up the moment any goosebumps come through,
so there'll be no faking it.
We've got the magnificent...
This is amazing! ..helmet apparatus over here...
I wanna look at this properly.
..which... This is incredible.
Oh, it does...absolutely nothing.
Oh! But it looks great.
(LAUGHS) OK!
You've always been about fashion. That's what everybody says about me.
We've each got five songs with different musical elements
to give the other person goosebumps.
We filled out some very personal surveys
to work out the best songs to use.
Winner will get bragging rights.
So, Round 1 - it's all about sudden crescendos.
When a piece of music suddenly gets louder, it often causes goosebumps.
You can hear this in Pink Floyd's The Post War Dream.
(MID-TEMPO, MELLOW MUSIC PLAYS)
(DRUM POUNDS, INTENSITY BUILDS) # Wish I could turn you
# Back into a stranger... #
I feel emotional but I don't...
I think that's one you won.
I was actually trying, though. Yeah?
I remember putting so much meaning to that song
because of the relationship that I was in,
and, like, moving in and out of.
But, yeah, I guess I'm just an unfeeling...
(LAUGHS) Yeah. And you know what?
I'm actually gonna take this off because...
Look, fair enough. Gonna throw you a bone.
I think...I think it's affecting my emotional levels.
So it DOES do something. It does.
Alright, so, Round 2. Alright.
It's all about the long, sustained note.
AKA the money note -
big, belting notes from singers like Whitney Houston and Freddie Mercury,
but also things like super-high violin melodies
and orchestral music.
(VIOLIN PLAYS SMOOTH, SUSTAINED, POIGNANT MELODY)
Alright. How'd you go?
I don't think I got goosebumps. Yeah, no.
OK. Hit me with another one. Alright.
# 'Cause you're nothing to me... #
Sometimes a chord progression or key change in a song
is really distinctive.
You might not see it coming but the unexpected harmony is a perfect fit,
and it gets you every time.
(LOW, ELECTRONIC THRUMMING)
(PITCH RAISES)
Again. Nada.
Nothin'.
I could pass a lie detector test. (LAUGHS)
Alright, new plan.
So we're none from three so far. Mm.
It's time to really up the ante on this.
What are you doing? So, this is a blindfold.
It's actually... No, it's not - it's a scarf.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
For today, it's a blindfold. OK. (LAUGHS)
OK. Alright. Can you see anything?
Nup.
So, we're gonna try an emotional minor song.
More often than not, the type of music that gives us chills
is in a minor key.
Some people call that the sad one.
(SLOW MELODY IN MINOR KEY PLAYS, WOMAN SINGS SUSTAINED NOTE)
(LAUGHS)
(DELICATE PIANO MELODY, SWEEPING ORCHESTRAL STRING NOTES)
What is going on right now with my arm?
I think I got goosebumps. Yeah?
Could you see any? S... Yes. Absolutely. (LAUGHS)
Definitely feeling something happening here.
Yeah, I'm gonna call that. (PING!)
Oh, my God.
I can't believe you got it
using a song from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack!
What else is gonna give you goosebumps?
I seriously... I was like, thinking about break-ups before,
thinking about other things - like, real adult stuff,
and then that one was the one.
So it's nostalgia, in a way.
It's like a memory of, like, your early teens
and you coming back to it as an adult
that's kind of tipped you over the line.
To just do it with that Des'ree song... (LAUGHS)
Yeah. Yeah. Well, a win for me.
OK. You've got one final chance, my friend.
Mm-hm. Best of luck.
Actually, wait.
Uh, we can do away with the blindfold
because I can go one better than that.
We're pulling out all stops for the final one. You ready?
(LAUGHS) Dan!
One of the most important things about music giving you goosebumps
is you.
Music that's special to you.
(IMMERSIVE TRIP-HOP JAZZ FUSION MUSIC PLAYS)
# I just want to be a woman... #
No goosebumps. No goosebumps.
So, still nothing with that one. Nothing.
Although that Portishead song is one that I love so much,
and even though I listened to that song
from when I was, like, 14 years old...
Mm.
..but I feel like I listen to it too often now
that it feels almost everyday to me.
It's not one particular... So it's no longer nostalgic?
Yeah. It's not nostalgic anymore - it's just...an omnipresent...
Yeah. Ugh. Well, my research has let me down.
Well, you got one. Yeah, one.
But we're gonna turn it. You ready to get into your...
(SIGHS) ..chair of delight?
Yep. My body is ready. (LAUGHS) OK.
(CHUCKLES) Your head's too big!
It actually... Yeah. It actually is.
Alright. So... (LAUGHS)
My turn now.
You made me get goosebumps once. Mm.
Round 1 - sudden crescendo.
(VIBRANT ORCHESTRAL MUSIC REACHES CRESCENDO)
(MUSIC QUIETENS)
(CHUCKLES) I don't know. What do you reckon?
I certainly had a strong emotional reaction.
You seemed so happy.
Yeah. I love that piece of music.
I don't think there was any goosebumps.
I definitely felt coldness in my arm, though.
Alright. Alright, alright. Alright, Round 2.
Long, sustained notes. Mm-hm.
Here we go. I'm ready.
(GENTLE, LILTING ORCHESTRAL MUSIC)
(MUSIC SWELLS)
If you didn't get that, you're never gonna see goosebumps.
That was 100% definitely. Seriously?
Seriously. Goosebumps?
Yeah. Why can't I tell?
There was a lot on the back of my neck.
Really? And some on my arm.
OK, I need to have a camera on the back of your neck.
Yeah. (LAUGHS) So, that's Star Wars.
That's the Binary Sunset, the Force Theme, by Joel Williams
in its most emotional playing,
and that hits, I reckon, musical love
and also childhood nostalgia.
Like, that's really the big musical swell of the first Star Wars film,
which I watched over and over and over.
Yep, ticking all the boxes pretty much, I think.
Yes! (LAUGHS)
Yes!
Wow! Ooh. Yeah.
(PING!) (LAUGHS)
Excellent triangle skills. So we're even.
So, if I get one more... Oh.
..I win. What? So quickly! Even.
I know. I know. Argh.
Unexpected harmonies. Alright.
Surprise.
(ETHEREAL MUSIC, GENTLE FEMALE VOCALS SING IN MINOR KEY)
Nothing. Nothing.
It's a song. OK. It's a song.
Mm-hm. Alright.
Fine. Do you remember what happened in Round 4?
I beat you? (LAUGHS)
(LAUGHS)
I got goosebumps and you put this on me.
Oh, yeah.
So it should be tighter? Yeah, I think so.
Alright. OK. So, this is minor keys. Mm-hm.
OK. Perhaps sad music.
(GRAND, INTENSE ORCHESTRAL MELODY IN MINOR KEY PLAYS)
So, that's interesting. What?
No goosebumps, but my heart beat way faster. (CHUCKLES)
Really? Yeah.
If you were measuring my pulse, you would have seen a huge spike.
I'm gonna count that as a half point.
Yeah. (LAUGHS)
Wait - that means you're in front.
No, definitely not. Round 5!
(UNEARTHLY, EXPERIMENTAL MUSIC, ETHEREAL FEMALE VOCALS)
So, what happened during that last one?
I had some reaction.
I enjoyed the soundscape of that song,
and there's a lot in there that's quite emotional and beautiful.
I don't think it really translated into full goosebumps, though.
'Cause I chose that one 'cause that's, like,
one of your favourite, you know, sentimental pieces.
From your "survey says". (CHUCKLES) From the survey, yeah.
So just to re-establish these scores - Dan got one.
I was one out of five. One ping.
And then I got one...and a half. Yeah.
One goosebump and then one raised heartbeat, which we count as a half.
I...I... So the winner is...
Finish the sentence. I think it's...I think it's you.
It's Linda. It's Carmelinda... Yeah. (LAUGHS)
..the goosebump champion. Yeah.
Isn't it so funny that the one that we responded to,
that properly got goosebumps,
was the reminiscence bump?
Yeah, absolutely. I think there's something so key about memory.
The melancholy that you feel when you listen to something
or you have that really strong visual accompaniment as well.
So, both of ours were for these movies
that we'd watched over and over again as kids.
I also think it's incredibly important that, you know,
there's images associated with the music that we're hearing in our mind.
And do you reckon that you could force goosebumps?
Nup. No way. I don't think so. I don't think you can force goosebumps.
Do you? Mmm... I was trying.
I was trying really hard, actually.
I was trying to give you a point or two.
But the more I was trying to,
the more that I found that I was forcing myself to cry.
Wow. Like, under that beautiful blindfold
that you put on me,
I was welling up. Huh.
So it's easier to cry to music, do you think?
Yeah. Yeah.
So if that had been the challenge... Right. Maybe that's next time.
Old cry-baby. Yeah. (LAUGHS)
..you might've won. Next time, crying challenge.

You can see it when you walk into the Trek shops.
They just have fun vibes.
I was riding by one day, and I saw in the window, "Trek."
And I thought, "What? Does Trek even have stores? What's happening?"
"That's really cool!"
All of us in the store have totally different backgrounds.
We all just care about each other.
I didn't know that much about bikes at all when I started here.
You don't have to really know about bikes to work here.
We teach you all that.
I got to train at the headquarters.
I learned more than I thought possible about bikes.
So that was really cool, that they wanted to see me grow in that way.
I would say that the opportunities and the things you're exposed to by being part of Trek is pretty incredible.
I'm extremely happy with the pace of my development.
I can see the future for myself here, and I'll be with this company for a long time.

N. Korea criticizes joint military drill by S. Korea, U.S. and Japan - Duration: 0:37.
North Korea has criticized South Korea and the U.S. for participating in a naval drill
last week with Japan.
Held last Tuesday through Thursday, their navies trained in stopping the proliferation
of weapons of mass destruction.
Pyongyang's propaganda website Uriminzokkiri said Monday that the U.S. joining in the drill,
in view of the Singapore declaration, was a provocation.
The website said North Korea is trying to build peace and harmony, and accused Washington
is being contradictory in promising to improve their relationship while at the same time
participating in a drill that targets the North.

Mueller: US Citizens Face Jail If They Donated To Trump Inauguration - Duration: 14:23.
Mueller: US Citizens Face Jail If They Donated To Trump Inauguration
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has warned that U.S. citizens could face prosecution
if they donated to Trump's inaugural fund.
Dirty cop Mueller has begun investigating a handful of American citizens who donated
to the fund, simply because they have 'foreign connections.'
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: What the hell does this have to do with Trump's so-called
collusion with Russia to hack the DNC's servers?
Since dirty cop Robert Mueller has nothing on President Trump he continues to rove around
unchecked, investigating anyone and anything.
Mueller is now harassing American citizens who legally donated to Trump's inauguration.
ABC reported:
According to a source who has sat with the Mueller team for interviews in recent weeks,
the special counsel is examining donors who have either business or personal connections
in Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
Several donors with those ties contributed large sums to the non-profit fundraising entity
– gifts that topped out at $1 million dollars, according to public records.
Special counsel investigators have also asked witnesses about specific inauguration donors,
including American businessmen Leonard Blavatnik, and Andrew Intrater, according to sources
familiar with the Mueller sessions.
Neither has been accused of any wrongdoing.
Blavatnik is a billionaire with dual U.S. and British citizenship who has extensive
business ties in Russia.
Blavatnik gave $1 million to the inaugural fund through his company, Access Industries,
according to FEC records.
Companies are prohibited from giving donations to political candidates, however, donations
to inaugural committees are not considered donations to candidates.
Intrater, an American relative and business associate of Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg,
runs a U.S. company with deep ties to Vekselberg's Russia-based global conglomerate, Renova Group.
Renova was recently sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department.
Intrater serves as the CEO of Columbus Nova, an investment company based in New York.
FEC records show Intrater made a $250,000 donation to the Trump inauguration committee
in early January 2017.
Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein are a disgrace to this country.
Both need to be fired and investigated for their years of corruption and involvement
in the Uranium One scandal.
Mueller has a history of charging innocent men for crimes they didn't commit, botching
cases and using raids to intimidate Americans.
Barack Obama's 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 for accepting over $1.8 million in donations
with erroneous contribution dates, Politico previously reported.
We know Obama took in way more than $1.8 million in foreignmysterious donations; this is just
what was 'reported.'
President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission
for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a
presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.
The fine — laid out in detail in FEC documents that have yet to be made public — arose
from an audit of the campaign, which was published in April.
POLITICO obtained a copy of the conciliation agreement detailing the fine, which was sent
to Sean Cairncross, the chief lawyer for the Republican National Committee, one of the
groups that filed complaints about the campaign's FEC reporting from 2008.
The document outlined other violations, such as erroneous contribution dates on some campaign
reports.
The Obama campaign was also late returning some contributions that exceeded the legal
limit.
So why wasn't there a special counsel witch hunt into Obama?
Mueller investigating Americans who donated to Trump's inauguration is outrageous because
donations to an inaugural fund are not considered campaign donations.

US teen studying abroad drowns while swimming in Israel - Duration: 3:49.
A 19-year-old University of Kentucky student on a study-abroad program drowned when she and two friends got caught in a strong current while swimming in the Mediterranean Sea in Israel, according to reports
The tragedy comes just months after TeNiya Elmore Jones, who just earned a spot at her school's pre-med program, lost her 22-year-old brother in a double homicide in her hometown of Fort Myers, Florida
Jones was taking a late-night swim with the two other students when she disappeared off a beach at the Tel Aviv suburb of Bat Yam just after midnight Saturday, the Times of Israel reported
The two other swimmers managed to swim back to shore, but Jones went missing. A search-and-rescue effort that included divers was launched, but the young woman's body washed up in Tel Aviv early Monday
Jones, a University of Kansas sophomore, was wrapping up a seven-week exchange program in Amman, Jordan, where she studied Arabic, according to the Lexington Herald Leader
She and her friends – including several students from her school and West Virginia University – decided to take a weekend trip to Israel before returning to the US next week
Jones, who was majoring in biology and Islamic studies, had just earned a spot in her school's pre-med program, her mother Tosha Thomas-Mora told The News-Press of Fort Myers
"She was supposed to start on Aug. 23," Thomas-Mora said before breaking down in tears
Thomas-Mora said she exchanged late-night texts this weekend with her daughter, who told her she was "in for the night" – but eight hours later, an official at the Council on International Educational Exchange called to inform her that Jones was missing
"She's a decent swimmer," Thomas-Mora said before her daughter's body was found
But "the furthest I've known her to go is to stand and wade at the shore of the water and take pictures
" The distraught mom – whose son, Samuel Jones Jr. 22, was shot and killed in a double homicide in Fort Myers in December – said she has received an outpouring of support from her daughter's high school classmates and fellow college students
"It just shows who TeNiya is. She is loved. You were easily attracted to her personality," Thomas-Mora, who has another daughter, 3-year-old Naomi Ruth Mora, told The News-Press

Why Countries Dumping US Debt Should Worry You - Duration: 5:05.
Good morning and thank you for watching U.S. Money Reserve's Market Insights
Today we're going to continue to talk about some of the things that we talked about
last week and that's going to be US Treasury bonds and an overvalued stock
market last week many of experienced in Watts Facebook continue to fall and
plummet taking one of the largest stock losses in US history this is exactly
what we're talking about is that we have four companies or four corporations that
are currently carrying the majority of the value in the US stock market and
today on CNBC news it has been identified so that since March Russia
has dumped more than 80 percent of the US Treasury bonds they've gone from
about 91 billion down to 14 billion in about two and a half to three months
remember several months ago China was doing the same thing now China has gone
back in and purchased more US Treasury bonds leaving China and Japan being two
of the largest holder of US Treasury bonds in the entire world
the remaining balance of Treasury bonds which is about 21 trillion which is
right at the national debt of the country is sitting at about 21 join the
United States and about 6 trillion accumulative sit outside of the United
States remember last week as we talked about the four things that could be
critical to the US economy and as we've talked for over a year now three key
indicators that the Treasury Department issued in 2013 that they felt that could
be a catalyst to the recession of the United States or lead into a depression
in the United States and I hate using that word but that is the word that they
used is is that Treasury bonds would be one of the key elements and catalyst to
the US economy number two was interest rates and number
three was a decline in the US dollar those three compartments that we've been
talking about have continued to be a topic for the last year-and-a-half in
these videos and as we continue to do these videos each one of those elements
continue to be a piece of the puzzle that continue to be keep coming up and
they're becoming more volatile and they're becoming more fluid inside the
markets we typically don't see countries like tying to go out and dump about 43
trillion or billion in US Treasury bonds we don't see Russia in a period of time
since March till now go out and dump 81% of their entire holdings of US Treasury
bonds now some individuals will say this is a financial move or
a form of asset management in regards to the economy because Treasury notes are
at a high since 2011 or it could because the United States is placing sanctions
against Russia or has placing Seng against Russia as they invaded Crimea it
could be there's a possibility of that but at the end of the day the trade war
the tariffs that are being placed these are fundamental issues that normally
would not be in place if the United States economy was not suffering or in a
position of being extremely fragile at this moment here in a few weeks the most
important and most critical thing that we have to think about is the stock
market will be at a point on the longest run in US history never been done in US
history if we make it I think since our past August 10th think about that for
just a second your money is sitting in an area whether it's a 401k or an IRA or
in the stock market and a run that has never lasted this long in US history
after about August 10th so think about that for just a moment is that once it
reaches past that moment how much more room how much murim is still eligible
for your money to continue to grow without some type of major recession or
a major correction taking place after that moment the upside is extremely
minimal the downside is extremely large and that's what you have to be thinking
about if countries around the world have been moving up maneuvering away from the
US economy since 2014 and we start seeing a massive sell-off in US Treasury
bonds Treasury bonds by major countries it is a telltale sign of some of the
things we've talked about you also can't go back several months
ago and know that the US economy was running out of money when we met the
debt ceiling crisis but we have in an economy that's supposed to be one of the
most robust that we've seen in years and we have a stock markets at a record high
how can we have a stock market at a record high but on the flip side the US
economy is running out of money think about the things we've talked about in
these videos or go back to some of the videos that we've talked about in the
past we've got tax cuts that were taking place in the beginning of the year we
have the repeal of the dodd-frank act or portions of the dodd-frank being rolled
back and then you start seeing the terrorists being placed on foreign
countries and then you have an accumulation or a combination of
countries selling off US Treasury I think this is more about fear and
asset management of that fear than it is of them just making general maneuvers in
the financial world think about what we talked about as always thank you for

Justin Hartley Teases Season 3 of 'This Is Us:' "You're Going to Be Blown Away" | In Studio with THR - Duration: 8:11.
- Thank you so much for watching.
Right now we're reunited with Justin Hartley.
- Yes.
- Reunited and it feels ...
- So good. - So good.
- I can finally breathe again.
- You can breathe again.
How have you been, how's life?
I know you did a - Good.
- little bit of traveling.
- Did a little traveling, yeah, went to Maui.
Took my honeymoon finally, so that was good.
Just got back from Alaska not too long ago.
Went back to Chicago, visited some family and friends.
So I've been kinda traveling quite a bit.
- Now since we've last talked and I mean, I guess
for a while now everyone has been talking about
your story line last season and giving you so much praise.
What is that feedback like as an actor
and what does it mean to you to be able
to have portrayed Kevin's story line
last season like that?
- Thanks man.
- I mean it, like serious-
- Oh, thank you, thank you.
No, it's, obviously it's great you know and
I pour, well we all do, but I poured so much into that.
It's a huge effort, it's a huge undertaking
not just by me but by the entire crew.
- Yeah.
- My castmates, the writing staff, and so to get praise
on something that I feel like was a really difficult
storyline to pull off and I feel like we pulled it off
in a very respectful, real, honest way.
That feels good because it's such an important thing
that people, great people are dealing with
all over the world that I just wanted to make sure
we all wanted to make sure that it was done in a way
that was respectful of that but also very honest and true.
Which meant sort of, digging in and getting dirty
and we did that and I'm very proud of what we did.
So to get the praise and the feedback
it definitely means a lot.
- Awesome, now I mean it's a pretty emotional story.
I mean, what part of it impacted you the most personally?
Was there an aspect to it that...
- Man, all of it.
You know you got this guy who, seemingly has it all, right?
Gosh, when we find him, he seems like this surface guy
that just cares about fast cars and fast women
and big houses and popularity and money
and who likes me and what kind of clothes I'm wearing.
And then, as the story goes on you realize
that prejudgment that you had about this guy
has lead in a part to the very hole that he's in.
He's surrounded by people that are staring at him,
praising him, telling him how great he is
and yet he's in that room, completely and totally alone,
on an island, with no one to talk to
and it's the saddest thing I could possibly imagine
so that's sort of how I approached it.
And I think we needed the first season
to sort of tell that story to be able to go
oh okay, well, man, I saw him a certain way
and that's kind of what he's talking about.
- Yeah, now you've been acting for years.
What has landing this role, being a part of "This Is Us"
meant to you as an actor, has it changed your life?
- Yeah, it's everything, I mean, I'm not, I'll be totally
honest with you it's changed everything.
You dream as an, at least I do, I did
as an actor you dream to have a moment where you can
like they say, sink your teeth into something
and really challenge yourself and you like to believe
that if you were handed that challenge that you'd be
up for it but until you are, you never really know, right?
Until you actually are in it, and so yeah
it's changed everything, it's great.
It's wonderful to be able to do something
that I always thought that I could do.
To be actually given the opportunity to do it is,
it's nothing short of a dream honestly.
- Awesome, now let's play a game.
- I love games.
- Are you down for a game?
- What kind of game?
- I invented this game.
- (laughing) I love it already, what is it?
How hard can it be? - A lot can happen.
- Oh God.
- So I recently perused the internet to gather
some random facts about your co-stars.
- Oh God.
- So I wanna see if you can guess.
- Okay, no, I
- A guessing game kind of.
- Okay good, let's, you invented.
- I invented this.
- You invented the guessing game.
- The guessing game.
- Okay, alright, I didn't know that.
- Let's start.
- I feel like you're lying - These are random facts
off the internet and so they might not even be true but
- I think it was invented way before we're playing right now
but, okay, okay. - This is the first time ever.
- Agree to disagree.
- Which one of your co-stars was
discovered by a FedEx employee?
- Which one of my co-stars was discovered by
a FedEx employee, that would be Ms. Mandy Moore.
- Oh you know that?
- No, I didn't know that, am I right?
- Yeah, yeah, how did you guess that?
- Boom, see how confident-
- Why did you think her?
- Because I, that just seems like something
that would happen to her. - Would happen to her.
- Yeah, it seems like she would be walking her dog
or doing anything really and some FedEx guy
or even UPS would be like, excuse me, I think you should be
- I heard you were - a movie star.
- discovered by UPS actually.
- No, I was, I was not.
It was the water guy, yeah, no,
- He saw you.
- I haven't been discovered yet.
You know after you're done inventing games
you can discover me - Discover you.
- and then you can just keep-
- Let's do it, I can't wait
- Which one of your co-stars recently had lunch with Oprah?
- I feel like I'm the only one that didn't,
actually. - Was it all of them?
- Well, yeah I know, are you talking about Chrissy?
Or are you talking about Sterling?
You're probably talking about Chrissy?
- Chrissy. - Yeah.
- Chrissy was more recently I think.
- Okay, alright, still waiting for my phone call.
- Which one of your co-stars used to dress up as Madonna?
- Which one of my co-stars used to dress up like Madonna?
That would probably be, Chrissy?
- Nope.
- Was it Sterling?
- Nope.
- Was it Milo?
- Yeah.
- (laughing) Oh he hasn't changed a bit.
- It's really interesting. - I know that he does that now
I didn't know that he did that way back.
- He still does it, right?
- Yeah, yeah, yeah we both do.
- Fun stuff, you do? - Yeah yeah.
- Alright, which one of your co-stars grew up in Japan?
- Grew up in Japan?
- Yeah.
- One of them grew up in Japan?
- This is off the internet I just pulled
(mumbles) I think it's right.
For like, their formative years is what it said online.
- Oh, would that be Milo?
- No.
- Oh, would it be Chrissy?
- It was Chrissy, yeah.
- Okay, maybe that rings a bell.
- Who was born in the same hospital
as their significant other?
- Sterling.
- Yep.
- Isn't that amazing?
- That was a cool story.
- Yeah, it's a great story.
- Last one, who starred in "The Princess Diaries"?

- I think you got most of them right.
- That's what happens.
- That's exactly what I'm
- This is me getting discovered.
- Now last, last question.
- Uh huh.
- What's a random fact about you
that no one knows about that...
- (sigh) I feel like I've told everybody everything
at this point, yeah I don't know if I have any random facts.
- Just make one up.
- Yeah, uh, gosh, gosh I don't know, you know.
I'm not 6'4", people think I'm 6'4", I'm 6'2".
There's a random fact for you.
- I've never heard of that, correct your image.
- I'm inventing boredom, yeah, making
people bored by listening to me.
- What do you want to say to viewers before we go?
- Oh, thank you, I get a chance to talk to the viewers.
- Yeah.
- Okay, gosh, so first of all thank you, for embracing
the show, thank you for watching, thank you for continuing
to watch and to have all of those emotions that we asked
that you have every week, I know it's a lot to ask.
But we really appreciate it, thank you for the job
and going forward, I can't wait to show you season three.

U.S. to invest $113 mil. in Indo-Pacific region to support digital economy, energy, infrastructure - Duration: 1:53.
The Trump administration has announced its plan to engage with the Indo-Pacific region
in all areas by investing over one hundred million U.S. dollars in the region.
The initiative comes amid a trade spat between the U.S. and China over import tariffs,...
and pundits say such investment could lead to possible power struggle between the two
superpowers.
Kim Hyo-sun reports.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced the Trump Administration's plan to invest
over one hundred million U.S. dollars in the Indo-Pacific region.
Speaking at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Forum in Washington on Monday,... Pompeo said the
initiative is part of President Trump's Indo-Pacific strategy of engaging more deeply with the
region.
"So just as the United States made foundational contributions in the past, today I'm announcing
$113 million in new U.S. initiatives to support foundational areas of the future: digital
economy, energy and infrastructure.
These funds represent just a down payment on a new era in U.S. economic commitment to
peace and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region."
He also stressed that the U.S. will never seek to dominate the region,... considering
that it has also fought for independence just like many of its Asian allies and friends.
Such a remark is believed to be made in reference to Beijing amid heightened tensions in the
South China Sea.
Pundits also say Washington's investment could be aimed at countering China's "Belt and Road
Initiative,"... adding that the power struggle between the world's two superpowers could
intensify in the region,... following their recent trade tensions over import tariffs.
The top U.S. diplomat added that he'll announce America's new security assistance plans for
the region when he visits Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia this week.

Do You Love Swimming Pools in Summer? Let Us Ruin That for You - Duration: 4:14.
How's your summer going?
Did you spend a lot of time in the pool?
Have fond memories of the ol' swimmin' hole?
Well, let me retroactively ruin them.
Pools are gross.
The thing about water is some pathogens absolutely thrive in it.
Harmful viruses, bacteria, and protozoa can be transmitted from one person to another
by way of pool water.
Over 14 years, health officials from 46 states and Puerto Rico reported almost 500 outbreaks
linked to treated recreational water, causing more than 27,000 illnesses and eight deaths.
Since many people don't go to a doctor when they're sick, and it's difficult to test
water for contaminants after an outbreak, those numbers could be higher still.
Now, you may be thinking that a lot of these outbreaks were caused by pools that weren't
treated properly, and it's true that does happen remarkably often.
A 2016 CDC study found 80% of public pools had health and safety violations.
Eighty percent!
One in eight facilities failed their inspections so badly they were closed immediately.
Undertreated pools can lead to tragedy, like in 1998 when seven swimmers who shared a pool
with a child with E. coli were hospitalized, resulting in one death.
E. coli outbreaks like that can be prevented by properly treating pools with our dear old
friend, chlorine.
The chlorine that's added to pools, either in the form of hypochlorous acid or hypochlorite
ions, reacts with the lipids in a microorganism's cell walls or enzymes inside the cells and
kills them (which is good).
But, chlorine also reacts with ammonia in things like sweat and pee.
This results in chloramines, which are responsible for that pool smell.
It also means there's less free chlorine available to kill friggin' E. coli!
That's right, that "chlorine smell" and your red irritated eyes actually mean
a pool is under chlorinated, not over chlorinated!
A properly treated pool has no smell.
Yeah.
NONE.
But even if a pool is chlorinated, some pathogens can survive, like Cryptosporidium.
This single-celled parasite has an outer shell that makes it resistant to chlorine.
It's the leading cause of waterborne disease in the US, and symptoms include abdominal
pain, fever, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.
That last symptom is also bad for pool goers.
Diarrhea is almost always caused by some infectious microorganism, and people can spread it in
pools up to two weeks after the symptoms subside.
Then all it takes is for another swimmer to inadvertently swallow some infected pool water
and start the cycle anew.
Even if people haven't had diarrhea, they can still shed poop and it's associated
pathogens into the pool.
One study found that the average person -- that is, you and me -- has about 0.14 grams of
poop on our stinky bums.
That's about the weight of one pea.
A pea's worth of poop.
I love that I get paid to say this stuff.
Fortunately, it's not hard to avoid becoming a disease vector.
How many people don't shower before getting in a pool because they figure the pool will
wash them off?
Well turns out we were wrong.
Showering before swimming is a good way to clean up our gross butts for everyone's
benefit.
It also washes away sweat, so the chlorine won't react with it.
I can't believe I have to say this, but you should also avoid peeing the pools.
One survey found that one out of five people admit to peeing in pools while four out of
five people are liars, I'm assuming.
Pee also has ammonia in it that will use up free chlorine, making the pool smell bad and
be less safe.
Avoid swallowing the water as best you can.
And lastly if you've had diarrhea in the last two weeks, do us all a favor and suntan
or read a book while the rest of us enjoy Cryptosporidium-free water.
Have a great summer!
Not all microbes are bad… for example your gut is filled with them.
They're just controlling your mind, no big deal.
Watch Maren's video to understand how!
And one last thing, I don't have a cool fun fact, but have you thought about how often
we empty pools and scrub them down?
How often.
Yeah, maybe just try not to think about it.

Amid Deadly Israeli Crackdown on Gaza Protests, Chomsky Says U.S. Must End Support for "Murderers" - Duration: 13:36.
"Noam Chomsky Is a Soft Revolution" by Foy Vance.
This is Democracy Now!
I'm Amy Goodman, as we return to our conversation with the world-renowned dissident, linguist
and professor Noam Chomsky.
Let's turn to the situation in Gaza.
Israel's Internal Security Minister Gilad Erdan said Thursday Israel could launch another
wide-scale military operation against the Gaza Strip.
This comes after Israel's violent crackdown on peaceful protests in Gaza from March to
May, when Israeli forces killed over 136 Palestinians, injured over 14,000 Palestinians.
I want to turn to the Canadian doctor, the Palestinian-Canadian doctor Tarek Loubani,
who was shot by Israeli forces in both legs while he was helping treat Palestinians injured
by Israeli forces during the nonviolent Great March of Return.
It was May 14th, a Monday.
I asked Dr. Loubani—this is right after he was shot—if he felt he was targeted.
I don't know the answer to that.
I don't know what orders they received or what was in their heads, so I can't tell
you if we were deliberately targeted.
What I can tell you is the things that I do know.
In the six weeks of the March, there were no paramedic casualties.
And in one day, 19 paramedics—18 wounded plus one killed—and myself were all injured,
so—or were all shot with live ammunition.
We were all—Musa was actually in a rescue at the time, but everybody else I've talked
to was like me.
We were away during a lull, without smoke, without any chaos at all, and we were targeted—and
we were, rather, hit by live ammunition, most of us in the lower limbs.
So, it's very, very hard to believe that the Israelis who shot me and the Israelis
who shot my other colleagues—just from our medical crew, four of us were shot, including
Musa Abuhassanin, who passed away—It's very hard to believe that they didn't know
who we were, they didn't know what we were doing, and that they were aiming at anything
else.
So, later that same day, May 14th, the man that Tarek was just talking about, Dr. Loubani
was talking about, paramedic Musa Abuhassanin, was shot and killed by Israeli forces.
He was shot in the chest.
Dr. Loubani tweeted a photo captioned, "A haunting photo, Friday, May 11.
Left: Mohammed Migdad, shot in the right ankle.
Hassan Abusaada.
Tarek Loubani, shot in left leg and right knee.
Moumin Silmi.
Youssef Almamlouk.
Musa Abuhassanin, shot in the thorax and killed.
Volunteer unknown.
Photographer: shot and wounded."
And he showed this photograph that he had, that he thought he was just going to have
for a scrapbook, and then realized these were some of the last days of their lives.
What's going on in Gaza right now, from your perspective, Noam?
We can add to that list the young Palestinian woman, a medic, who was murdered by a sniper,
far from the so-called border, when she was tending to a wounded patient.
Yes, it's hideously ugly.
But there's a background, as always.
The crucial background is that Israeli—this Israeli stranglehold on Gaza, which has reduced
the life to bare survival, has reached the point where the United Nations, other analysts
predict that by the year 2020, Gaza will literally be uninhabitable.
That's two million people, half of them children, being caged in a prison, carefully
controlled, savage restrictions on food, on anything that comes to them, to the extent
that the fishermen are kept close to shore so they can't fish, the sewage plants have
been destroyed, the power plants have been attacked.
The official program—official—was to keep Gaza on what was called a diet, barely enough
to survive.
Doesn't look good if they all starve to death.
Notice that this is occupied territory, as recognized by—even by the United States,
everyone but Israel.
So, here's a population kept in a prison, in an occupied territory, fed a diet to keep
them at bare survival, constantly used as a punching bag for what's called—what
calls itself the most moral army in the world, now reaching a point where within a couple
years it will be uninhabitable, yes, and in addition to that you have sadistic acts like
highly trained snipers killing a young Palestinian woman medic when she's tending a patient,
and what the doctor just described.
What do we do with it?
We actually react to that.
The United States has reacted.
It has reacted by very sharply cutting its funding to the one organization, UNRWA, U.N.
organization, that keeps the population barely alive.
That's our response, along with, of course, overwhelming support for Israel, providing
with the arms, diplomatic support and so on.
One of the most extraordinary scandals, if that's the right word, in the modern world.
Can we do something about it?
Sure, of course we can.
Gaza should be a thriving Mediterranean paradise.
It has a wonderful location, has agricultural resources, could be marvelous beaches, fishing,
sea resources, even has natural gas offshore, which it's not being allowed to use.
So there's plenty that can be done.
But we've—the U.S. has preferred, under repeated administrations, but much worse now,
to, as usual, support the murderers.
Noam, Israel is threatening another strike on Gaza like what they called Operation Protective
Edge in 2014 when they killed well over 2,000 people—about, oh, around a quarter of that
number children.
Yes, they are threatening.
If you look over the record—there's no time to talk about it now—there's a marvelous
book that just came out, incidentally.
Norman Finkelstein's book Gaza, which is about Gaza's martyrdom, is a definitive
study of this.
But what's happened since 2005 is pretty straightforward.
I mean, the previous history is ugly enough.
But in 2005, Ariel Sharon, other Israeli hawks, recognized that it didn't make any sense
to keep a couple of thousand Jewish settlers illegally settling in Gaza, using up most
of its resources and devoting a large part of the Israeli army to protecting them.
That was totally senseless.
So they decided to move them from their illegal, subsidized settlements in Gaza to illegal,
subsidized settlements in areas that Israel wanted to keep, in the West Bank, in the Golan
Heights.
It was framed as a traumatic event, but that was a play for world opinion.
It was basically a joke.
They could have done it quite easily.
And they pulled out, and that was called a withdrawal.
But they remained under total Israeli occupation, just that the army wasn't inside Gaza; it
was controlling it from the outside.
There was an agreement reached in November 2005 between the Palestinians and Israel on
a ceasefire, no violence, opening Gaza's seaport, rebuilding the airport that Israel
had destroyed, opening the border so that there could be free flow between Israel and
Egypt and so on.
That agreement lasted a couple of weeks, in—that was November.
In January, the Palestinians committed a major crime: They ran a free election, recognized
to be free and fair, only one in the Arab world.
But it came out the wrong way.
The wrong people won: Hamas.
Israel, at once, escalated violence, tightened the siege, increased the repression against
Gaza, imposed the diet.
The U.S. reacted by standard operating procedure: started to organize a military coup.
Hamas preempted the military coup, which was an even greater crime.
Violence, the U.S.-Israeli violence, increased.
The savagery of the siege increased, and so on.
Then it goes on like that.
Repeatedly, there's an episode of what Israel calls mowing the lawn.
Smash them up.
They're defenseless, of course.
Then there's an agreement reached, which Hamas accepts and lives up to.
Israel violates it constantly.
Finally, an Israeli escalation of the violation leads to some Hamas response, which Israel
uses as a pretext for the next episode of mowing the lawn.
I've reviewed this.
Norman Finkelstein reviews it in his book.
Others have.
That's been the history since 2005.
So, yes, there might be another one.
But now we're reaching a point where it's almost terminal.
Repeat, it's expected that the Gaza Strip, having been devastated so savagely over the
years, will literally become uninhabitable.
Now, there are ways to deal with this.
It's not a—doesn't take a brilliant scientist to figure it out.
It's quite obvious.
And Noam, the solution that you say that is straightforward and simple?
Very straightforward.
Live up to the terms of the November 2005 agreement.
Allow Gaza to reconstruct.
Open the entry points to Israel and Egypt.
Rebuild the seaport that was smashed.
Rebuild the airport that Israel destroyed.
Allow them to reconstruct the power plants.
Let them become a flourishing Mediterranean site.
And, of course, permit—remember that the famous Oslo Agreements required, explicitly,
that the Gaza Strip and the West Bank be a unified territory and that its territorial
integrity must be maintained.
Israel and the United States reacted at once by separating them.
OK?
That's not a law of nature, either.
Palestinian national rights can be achieved, if the U.S., Israel are willing to accept
that.

Mueller US Citizens Face Jail If They Donated To Trump Inauguration - Duration: 11:12.
Mueller: US Citizens Face Jail If They Donated To Trump Inauguration
Special Counsel Robert Mueller has warned that U.S. citizens could face prosecution
if they donated to Trump's inaugural fund.
Dirty cop Mueller has begun investigating a handful of American citizens who donated
to the fund, simply because they have 'foreign connections.'
Thegatewaypundit.com reports: What the hell does this have to do with Trump's so-called
collusion with Russia to hack the DNC's servers?
Since dirty cop Robert Mueller has nothing on President Trump he continues to rove around
unchecked, investigating anyone and anything.
Mueller is now harassing American citizens who legally donated to Trump's inauguration.
ABC reported:
According to a source who has sat with the Mueller team for interviews in recent weeks,
the special counsel is examining donors who have either business or personal connections
in Russia, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
Several donors with those ties contributed large sums to the non-profit fundraising entity
– gifts that topped out at $1 million dollars, according to public records.
Special counsel investigators have also asked witnesses about specific inauguration donors,
including American businessmen Leonard Blavatnik, and Andrew Intrater, according to sources
familiar with the Mueller sessions.
Neither has been accused of any wrongdoing.
Blavatnik is a billionaire with dual U.S. and British citizenship who has extensive
business ties in Russia.
Blavatnik gave $1 million to the inaugural fund through his company, Access Industries,
according to FEC records.
Companies are prohibited from giving donations to political candidates, however, donations
to inaugural committees are not considered donations to candidates.
Intrater, an American relative and business associate of Russian billionaire Viktor Vekselberg,
runs a U.S. company with deep ties to Vekselberg's Russia-based global conglomerate, Renova Group.
Renova was recently sanctioned by the U.S. Treasury Department.
Intrater serves as the CEO of Columbus Nova, an investment company based in New York.
FEC records show Intrater made a $250,000 donation to the Trump inauguration committee
in early January 2017.
Robert Mueller and Rod Rosenstein are a disgrace to this country.
Both need to be fired and investigated for their years of corruption and involvement
in the Uranium One scandal.
Mueller has a history of charging innocent men for crimes they didn't commit, botching
cases and using raids to intimidate Americans.
Barack Obama's 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 for accepting over $1.8 million in donations
with erroneous contribution dates, Politico previously reported.
We know Obama took in way more than $1.8 million in foreignmysterious donations; this is just
what was 'reported.'
President Barack Obama's 2008 campaign was fined $375,000 by the Federal Election Commission
for campaign reporting violations — one of the largest fees ever levied against a
presidential campaign, POLITICO has learned.
The fine — laid out in detail in FEC documents that have yet to be made public — arose
from an audit of the campaign, which was published in April.
POLITICO obtained a copy of the conciliation agreement detailing the fine, which was sent
to Sean Cairncross, the chief lawyer for the Republican National Committee, one of the
groups that filed complaints about the campaign's FEC reporting from 2008.
The document outlined other violations, such as erroneous contribution dates on some campaign
reports.
The Obama campaign was also late returning some contributions that exceeded the legal
limit.
So why wasn't there a special counsel witch hunt into Obama?
Mueller investigating Americans who donated to Trump's inauguration is outrageous because
donations to an inaugural fund are not considered campaign donations.
