Youtube daily here May 31 2018

Hey everyone! I'm Amanda Khorramabadi with al.com. Let me start off this video by

saying I hate bugs, and with warmer weather here it feels like we've been

invaded by creepy crawlies. One particularly gross creature I was tasked

with researching for this video is ticks, and just talking about them makes me a

little itchy. The information I found out about these little guys is eye-opening.

Our great state of Alabama is teeming with ticks, and you want to know

something? That really ticks me off, but the good news is we can protect

ourselves from them. Ticks are arachnids, kind of like spiders, and they go through

four life stages: egg, larva, nymph, and adult. After hatching, ticks must eat

blood to survive, so they're basically vampires. To find their host, or who they

suck blood from, ticks wait in a position called questing. They rest on the tips of

grasses and shrubs, and when a host brushes by, they quickly climb aboard.

Then the tick grasps the skin and cuts into the surface. It inserts a feeding

tube and sometimes it even secretes a cement-like substance to keep it firmly

attached. What's even grosser is ticks' saliva has

anesthetic properties so you don't even know it's on you. Then the tick will

suck the host's blood for a few days, and if the host has any blood-borne diseases,

the tick will ingest those pathogens. On the flip side, if the tick has any

pathogens, then the host could get those pathogens, as well. When the tick is full,

it'll drop off, and at its next feeding it can transfer any acquired diseases to

the next host. I interviewed Dr. Pigott, a Professor of

Emergency Medicine at UAB to tell us more about the types of diseases you can

get from ticks. In Alabama, tick borne diseases include things like Rocky

Mountain spotted fever or Lyme disease, although there are a couple of other

illnesses as well. The CDC just released a statement beginning in May that tick

and mosquito-borne diseases in the United States have had a three times

increase in the last 10 or 15 years. So now that you're thoroughly creeped out,

don't worry, I am too, here's what you need to know before you go outdoors. Ticks

live in grassy, brushy, or wooded areas. They could be in your yard, in your

neighborhood, even on your animal. To prevent tick bites, treat your clothing and gear

with 0.5% permethrin. What's really great about this stuff is that it remains

protective even after several washings. And on your body use an Environmental

Protection Agency certified insect repellent, like deet. Once you're back

from the great outdoors, you may accidentally track ticks into your home,

so be sure to check your clothes. They could be on there. You can wash your

clothes in hot water or tumble dry for 10 minutes and that should pretty

effectively get rid of any ticks that are on your clothing. Most importantly,

check yourself before you wreck yourself. Check your body for ticks. I know it

seems obvious but you need to especially check these parts: under the arms, in and

around the ears, inside belly button, back of knees, in and around hair, between your

legs, and around your waist. And finally, if you have the displeasure of finding a

tick on you, remove it immediately. Using a pair of fine tipped tweezers, grasp the

tick as close to the skin as possible. Then pull that nasty creature upward

with a steady even pressure. Make sure you don't twist or jerk the tick, if

you do the mouth parts could break off and remain in the skin. If that happened

to me I couldn't handle it, but you're better than that!

Remove the mouth parts with tweezers and if you can't easily remove them then

just leave it alone and let your skin heal. After the tick removing ordeal is

over, make sure you wash your hands with soap and water. Or be like me and douse

them in rubbing alcohol. Whatever you do, don't crush the tick with your fingers.

Dispose of the nasty bugger by flushing it down the toilet, putting it in alcohol,

or placing it in a sealed bag or container. And even though some of my

co-workers swear by it, avoid burning the tick off, according to the Center of

Disease Control, that's just folklore. By the way, if you develop a rash or fever

several weeks after a tick bite make sure you let your doctor know

immediately. And to go out with a bang, here's a list of ticks in our state and me

trying to pronounce their scientific names. American dog tick, dermacentor variabilis.

Blacklegged tick, lxodes scapularis. Brown dog tick,

this one's really long so I'm gonna read it, Rhipicephalus sanguineus.

Guf Coast tick, Amblyomma maculatum. And the Lone star tick, Amblyomma americanum.

Here's What Comes With Xbox Games With Gold For June 2018 - Duration: 2:58.

Hello Guy's And Wellcome To My Channel GamesTalk.

In This Video We Are Going To Talk About What Comes With Xbox Games With Gold For June 2018.

The Xbox Games with Gold titles for June 2018 have been revealed, and they include two of

the biggest names in gaming.

The third and final entry in the Assassin's Creed Chronicles series headlines the group

as its Russia entry will be available from June 1 through the end of the month.

On the Xbox 360 side (although its also backwards compatible on Xbox One), Sonic & All-Stars

Racing Transformed will be quite the timely addition (as Sonic's latest racing game was

just announced) from June 1 through 15.

May was really an incredible month for Games with Gold as it featured the newly released

Super Mega Baseball 2 and Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain (which is still redeemable

until June 15) for X box One owners.

The Xbox 360 side was also strong as Sega Vintage Collection: Streets of Rage was available

during the first half of the month and the cult classic third-person shooter Vanquish.

All of those games besides Streets of Rage are still currently available to be redeemed

for free until June begins.

The biggest value for Games with Gold is the free Smite Gold bundle (which normally costs

$99) from June 16 to July 15.

That will allow X box One players of the console-based MOBA to get access to 20 extra god characters

and over 50 bonus items (that include skins and announcer packs).

Finally, LEGO Indiana Jones 2: The Adventure Continues will be available on Xbox One and

Xbox 360 for free from June 16 until the end of the month.

It offers up scenes from all four Indiana Jones movies, and allows players to even create

their own levels.

While May was clearly a stronger month for Games with Gold (who can argue with getting

Metal Gear Solid 5 and a new release like Super Mega Baseball 2 for free?), June is

certainly no slouch in its own right.

The announcement of Sonic Team Racing is certain to get more people interested in checking

out Sumo Digital's last racing game, and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed was one of

the best arcade racing games released last generation.

It's also nice to see the Assassin's Creed Chronicles series get wrapped up, even if

Russia was the weakest of the three spin-off titles.

Overall, there's not a single bad game in June's lineup.

LEGO Indiana Jones 2 is a good time for kids and nostalgic adults, and Smite is one of

the most polished free-to-play titles available on Xbox One.

There should be something for everyone next month, and that type of diversity in games

should be applauded.

Impacting the World through Research - Duration: 7:13.

>> Senescence is a really interesting process.

It's actually what happens when your cells age and so, you know, unfortunately, as we

get older our cells will senescence.

The interesting thing is that also happens in the early events in cancer.

So we're really trying to understand how cancer cells fuel themselves and how they use these

sort of normal metabolic pathways of using energy to thrive in an environment that they

may not be able to thrive in if they were normal cells.

My name is Katherine Aird and I am interested in ovarian cancer.

I think what we're doing may be relevant in a number of ways for patients.

One of these pathways that I'm really interested in like we mentioned senescence, it's an early

event in cancer.

And so my, sort of, career goal has always been could we prevent cancer from even happening?

Unfortunately, ovarian cancer patients do not respond very well to the therapies that

they use in the clinic and so some of these pathways that we're interested in, we might

be able to find novel targets.

And maybe be able to come up with some inhibitors.

And one of the great things about being here at Penn State Hershey is that the hospital

is right next door.

We may even be able to do a clinical trial and that's something that actually isn't that

long-term.

Maybe in the five to 10 year range.

It wasn't purposeful to arrange an all-female team.

I have a soft spot for women and women in science because we are a minority still.

And I am an advocate for them and a strong supporter of them.

And so I think people who want something like that in their life may be gravitate towards

me in my lab.

I'm hoping to get a diverse group of people, both male and males and females and also different

backgrounds and ethnicities because that is so important for science.

It's actually one of the reasons I got into science is because I love the diversity of

it and diversity of thought makes us all better.

>> I'm John Elfar.

I'm the Vice Chairman of Orthopedic Surgery and Rehabilitation at the Pennsylvania State

University.

Nerves are what control everything, what you feel and what you can do, what you can move.

They're all under nerve control.

The way your brain gets those signals to your fingers and your toes and your legs is through

nerves.

I'm an orthopedic surgeon so I see traumatized patients.

I see patients who have had their nerves cut by the bullet that's going through the tissue

or a car accident, a bad mangling injury.

These are the kinds of injuries I see but all over the Medical Center you will find

peripheral nerve injuries that are the consequence of care.

There's a lot of very sad patients who have the cancer out but can't move the limb or

who get treated with radiation but can't feel.

4-aminopyridine was a drug we just happened to come across.

It's called 4-AP and we were using it in experiments in the lab for a totally different purpose.

We were trying to use it to tell whether or not our nerve injuries were bad enough.

That's currently impossible, right now, even with all of the greatest tools we have.

All the greatest imaging, we can't tell whether a nervous been cut or not.

The cool thing about 4-AP is it's currently used in humans.

So it's FDA approved.

So we have dosages that are safe in humans, for example.

When we use a small dose of 4-AP, we can take a nerve that looks like it's been cut and

make it function for the short enough time we need to tell that it hasn't been cut.

The second discovery was if we took nerves that have been injured, we could very substantially

increase the rate at which they recover with continuous dosing of this drug.

4-AP has applications so far beyond my own field that I haven't had any problems interesting

surgeons and physicians from other departments in helping we have trials currently planned.

And we're writing grants for trials in neurology, in neurosurgery, in urology, in general surgery

that you wouldn't expect 4-AP but yeah, actually 4-AP has tremendous traction in fields where

nerve injuries are an obligate consequence of care that is really important.

You find other departments that are very interested.

Right now we have an opportunity because we're on this cusp, we have an opportunity to actually

try a treatment as opposed to do the extra stuff required to justify trying the treatment.

We want to go and take the test.

All we want to do is take the actual test.

[ Music ]

>> I couldn't be more happy and more proud of being a member of the Penn State community.

My name is David DeGRAFF and I'm an assistant professor in the departments of pathology,

surgery, and biochemistry and molecular biology.

Getting a grant from the American Cancer Society definitely opened up -- opens up doors for

additional funding.

I think it's a true mark of distinction.

I think that number one, it helps us grow the research program and get the results that

we need and really get the results that are showing us that we're making an impact.

And I think our donors are members of our team because the faith they have put in us

and the mission that we have here at the Penn State College of Medicine is extraordinary

and we couldn't do it without them.

The goal really at the end of this project is to see that if we manipulate the expression

or target the expression of these transcription factors, can we convert one subtype of bladder

cancer into another subtype of bladder cancer that is more responsive to treatment.

One of the things I love about being a researcher is it really gives me an opportunity to be

an explorer.

On an ideal day, I get to see something for the first time that no one else has seen.

The discovery is what keeps us going, helps us deal with all the frustrating times and

that's why we do the job.

So I would also thank the donors for their vision and their belief in us.

They might not be the ones that are able to go into the laboratory to do the experiments

but they know that our ideas are important and they have impact.

And the donors have the vision to see that.

[ Music ]

Thank you.

PERFECT Summer Shirts | Awesome Hot Weather Shirt Options For Men - Duration: 10:26.

The Perfect Summer Shirt [0:00:00]

All right, gents, in today's video, we're talking about the perfect summer shirt.

[Music] All right.

There's a lot of contenders out there for the perfect summer shirt.

The white t-shirt, classic, a lot of guys they're going to go right to this.

I think it's a great option, but it's very casual.

Unless you've got an amazing body, sometimes it's not going to always compliment you.

Now, you can offset not so amazing body with a darker colored t-shirt with a V-neck.

I think that's a great option, but still very casual.

Okay.

What about the Henley?

Another one it does a great a great job of drawing attention right up here to the neck

area to the chest area, but even a short-sleeved Henley still very casual.

Next up, I've got the classic polo.

The polo is going to be dressier than any other shirts I just talked about because it

has a collar.

This is a soft collar and in fact, the fabric itself is going to be a very soft cotton.

It's actually got a little bit of a napped surface.

And it's going to be this surface which is still going to make the shirt casual, the

collar though is going to dress it up.

Is it the perfect summer shirt?

I love it.

It gets a lot of wear, but not yet perfect.

Now, all those other shirts are great.

I love them, I wear them.

They rotate through my wardrobe.

But, if you made me choose one style that I would go to all summer, guys, it's going

to be a long-sleeved button-down made from a woven material.

And, I know some of you guys are immediately saying that's way too hot way too uncomfortable,

not something that I would bring into my wardrobe.

Well, guys, I've got some options for you behind me.

I'm going to talk about how you can pull this shirt into your wardrobe, how you can

dress it up dress it down and look great all summer.

Now, gents, all the shirts you see in today's video are brought to you by Tailor Store.

They're the paid sponsor of today's video.

And I've got a huge discount down in the description of this video for you, 50% off,

guys, on your first shirt with free shipping.

And I can tell you, I've got ten of their shirts.

For over two years I've been wearing their shirts.

Now, six of these are new, but four of these have been in my rotation for the last couple

of years.

I know, you've seen this in the videos.

But, guys, I will say owning a custom clothier myself, these guys are the real deal.

They do it better than I was running my old custom clothier.

And my favorite feature at Tailor Store, the fit guarantee.

Guys, I know that when you're buying something online your biggest fear is, okay, I'm going

to buy this shirt, is it going to fit me and if it doesn't what's going to happen.

Guys, they have alleviated -- gotten rid of this problem by simply saying, okay, if it

doesn't fit you properly you're not happy with the fit, simply tell us how you wanted

it adjusted, we will remake it at no cost.

You've got to love a company that puts customers first.

I love their clothing.

I have very high standards when it comes to custom clothing, but Tailor Store meets that

standard and it's just a great company with great products.

So, go check them out, guys.

I'm linking to them down in the description.

So, when it comes to the perfect summer shirt, it's really simple - fit, function, fabric.

I've talked about this before.

My style pyramid, guys, it is really that simple.

So first up, let's talk about perfect summer shirt fit.

You want to make sure you get the right size.

Now, if it's too small if it's tight, you're going to get hotspots you're going

to get [itch] maybe in the armpit area it's going to start to rub you raw.

You're not going to like the shirt you're not going to wear it and you're going to

waste your money.

Now, the opposite end is wearing a shirt that's too large and this is where the vast majority

of men make the mistake.

You buy something and maybe it's a little bit too long in the sleeves, maybe it's

a little bit too much extra material right here in the torso.

Have it brought in.

Now, don't overdo this, but definitely go pay the tailor tax, get it adjusted, it's

going to look so much better on you.

Next up, we're talking about the function of the perfect summer shirt.

Now, what I love about the long sleeve button-down made from a woven fabric is that it can be

dressed up, it can be dressed down.

You can go with a plain simple white in a twill weave, all of a sudden you can wear

that with a suit, tie look great.

But, you could also go with something with a darker fabric maybe go with pockets go with

epaulettes here on the shoulders.

You can roll up the sleeves.

It's going to look great.

So, really quick let's talk about wearing your shirt tucked versus untucked.

A tucked shirt is always going to be dressier than an untucked shirt.

But, I get it that some of you guys like that style, you like the look, so if you're going

to wear it untucked, look for shirts that made to be worn untucked.

Usually across the bottom they're going to be straight across the bottom.

If it's got a tail in the front in the back, that shirt is made to be tucked in.

Now, just because the shirt goes straight across does not mean that you should wear

it untucked.

It could be too long, it could be too short.

My rule is simply when I raise my arms up if I expose my midsection with the shirt,

it's too short.

But, I don't want it so long that it looks like a dress.

All right, guys, so at this point I'm going to geek out.

I'm going to talk about yarn materials, I'm going to talk about fabric weave.

This is important because then you can look at any shirt and you can make a determination

is this going to be breathable, is this going to be something when I wear it it's going

to keep me cool in the summer.

So first up, let's talk about fabric materials, the material the yarn is going to be made

from.

Cotton, the most common out there and for good reason.

It is durable, it's tough, and it's relatively inexpensive.

Now, when you're looking at cotton, you want to go for a long staple cotton.

This is going to be able to be made into an extremely long yarn and that yarn right there

is going to actually be able to be woven tighter into a better tougher more I would say more

nicer feeling fabric.

What you can do is look at Egyptian cotton.

You can look for luxury cottons.

[0:05:04] Next up, we've got linen.

Like cotton, men have worn it for thousands of years because it's tough, durable, it's

relatively inexpensive.

And linen has some unique properties.

If you get linen wet, it actually becomes tougher it becomes stronger.

Another thing interesting about linen is that it's going to make more breathable fabrics

and this is because of the shape of the actual fiber.

Now, there are some downsides to linen.

Anyone owned a linen shirt you know that after just a couple of hours, you got to take that

thing and iron them at the highest setting.

Another thing, assuming all points being equal, when you compare a linen shirt to a cotton

shirt, the cotton shirt is going to be softer.

So, at this point I want to talk about synthetic materials in shirts.

I feel with modern synthetic fabrics if use responsively or if they're of a high quality,

it's perfectly fine.

They have a bad reputation, that's going back to thirty or forty years when oftentimes

manufacturers would make these very cheap shirts.

But, since then I've actually seen them in a wide variety of ways used responsively

where they actually mix them in with the cotton in with the linen or they actually even go

with hundred percent synthetic that maybe is made from like wood pulp and they actually

weave it in a way that it make sense it actually creates a great shirt.

Now, let's about weaves.

And to understand weaves, you got to understand warp and weft.

Warp is going to be going with the length of the fabric and weft is going to be going

across the fabric.

Now, how the yarns pass over each other is going to determine the type of weave that

we have, the type of patterns that we're going to see in the fabric and also, the density

and the ability of air to go back and forth through the fabric.

So first up, we've got the plain weave.

The plain weave is the most simple of all the weaves.

Basically you've got the same size warp and weft threads.

It's woven together one by one.

The next very common weave we're going to see out there is the twill weave.

The twill weave is a weaving method that creates a diagonal pattern in the fabric.

These fabrics are generally softer and thus, more wrinkle-resistant.

Next up, we've got poplin.

Very similar to a plain weave except it's much more tightly woven and in fact, it can

be twice as dense as a plain weave.

Now, this next weave, seersucker, this is a great unique weave when you want air to

be able to pass through a material.

Now, seersucker is made from cotton, it's going to have a bumpy overall look to it,

but this is woven in a way that you can maximize the amount of air that goes back and forth

between the skin and the environment.

All right.

So now, the fun part, I get to show you guys examples of what I consider to be the perfect

summer shirts.

So, this shirt right here I love it.

Notice the fit, pretty spot on.

Next up, let's talk about the functions.

So, very clean, I don't have pockets I don't have anything that destructs.

It's just a great looking shirt that lets people focus in on me.

Now, the fabric is really where it stands out.

This is a blend of tencel 45% and cotton 55%.

We've got a twill weave right here and now the weight about 127 grams per meter square

and overall, just a great looking shirt.

I love this one.

I love to hear from you guys though down in the comments.

What do you think are you going to give this one a thumbs-up?

All right.

So, under the second shirt, I'm going to call this one simple yet sophisticated.

So, do you notice that small detail?

I'll give you guys a second.

Do you pick it up?

I will tell you it's made from a poplin, very light weight.

We're talking probably about 115 grams per square meter.

But, do you notice that contrast fabric right here?

Very nice, you got a little bit of floral and I can turn the cuff up.

Oh, yeah, I could do this and just walk into a place.

Guys, I love shirts like this.

White, you can dress it up, you can dress it down, you can bring this down, I can button

it up all the way, wear it with a tie no one would notice.

So, I wanted something I could wear let's say after work to be able to open it up and

to be able to wear out to the club out to the bar.

You've got a cover right here with number two.

I definitely like this one.

All right.

So, option number three, my red pincheck.

And to be honest, I didn't expect to like this shirt as much as I did, so I put this

on looked at myself in the mirror, I'm like, I like this look.

I think it looks really good on me.

Guys, let me know down in the comments what do you think of this?

Now, interesting they actually gave me some monogram right here, but this right here a

fabric that will be hard to find.

Overall, I think it actually works with my built.

Fabrics like these on thinner guys are going to give them a little bit more bulk.

If you're a bigger guy, you want to be careful of patterns that go across, but for me this

works out relatively well.

What do you guys think?

I want to hear from you down in the comments.

Vote on.

Let me know which shirt did you like the best.

Maybe you're going to say, Antonio, no, stick with that navy you started the video

off with, that was the best one.

Okay.

Well, be honest, let me know.

But, guys, I want to hear from you.

And, if you like any of the shirts you saw on this video any of the shirts behind me,

go check out Tailor Store.

I'm linking to them down in the description.

If you grab a shirt, use code RMRS50 for 50% off your first shirt.

Guys, awesome company.

Like I said I love their perfect fit guarantee.

They – they will send you that shirt and if it doesn't fit you properly, they will

remake it at no cost.

You got to love a company that puts the customers first.

And like I said I have very high standards when it comes down to custom shirts, so to

find a company that I can recommend and send you guys to, I'm really proud to do that,

so go check them out.

I'm linking to them down in the description.

And, if you've got any other questions about fabrics, you want more detail, I've got

a support article which will also be in the description of this video.

[Music] What are you just going to watch me put these

shirts away?

Believe me there's an art and a science to this.

You've got to have skills.

I've got a master's degree and that what enables me to be able to do this very well.

Do you notice how I did that so smoothly?

Yes.

In Nashville, Trump bent and broke the truth. Here are the facts - Duration: 7:43.

JUDY WOODRUFF: The White House weighed in today on the controversy surrounding the now

canceled ABC TV show "Roseanne."

The network made the announcement yesterday after its star, Roseanne Barr, wrote a racist

tweet about an adviser to former President Obama, Valerie Jarrett.

The CEO of ABC's parent company, Disney, Robert Iger, called Jarrett to apologize, while yesterday's

controversy was playing out.

So, today, President Trump criticized Iger.

In a tweet, the president said Iger never called him to apologize for what Mr. Trump

said were -- quote -- "horrible statements made and said about me on ABC."

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders elaborated this afternoon.

SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS, White House Press Secretary: The president is simply calling

out the media bias.

No one is defending what she said.

The president is the president of all Americans, and he's focused on doing what is best for

our country.

The president's pointing to the hypocrisy in the media saying that -- the most horrible

things about this president, and nobody addresses it.

Where was Bob Iger's apology to the White House staff for Jemele Hill calling the president

and anyone associated with him a white supremacist, to Christians around the world for Joy Behar

calling Christianity a mental illness?

JUDY WOODRUFF: And our White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor attended today's briefing

with Sarah Sanders.

So, Yamiche, a sore spot, a sensitive spot was touched for the president in all of this.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: That is right.

And President Trump had tweeted about this, as we said, and Sarah Sanders was deflecting,

though, a question directed specifically at how President Trump has been handling this

tweet that was blatantly racist by Roseanne Barr.

Sarah Sanders does this a lot.

When you ask her a question that she doesn't want to answer, what she does is say, no,

I don't want to answer the question, and instead I'm going to attack the media, which is what

the president has done.

I want read for the audience the actual question, so that everyone can be on the same page.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Sure.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: The specific question was, why did he, President Trump, choose to address

the ABC policy, instead of underlying issues of concern about a racist comment that she

tweeted out?

So, that was, again, all about Roseanne's tweet.

And instead Sarah Sanders said, actually, we deserve an apology for all these other

criticisms.

And even with Jemele Hill, the comment that she made was not blatantly racist.

So, while there is some back and forth about whether or not ABC should have apologized,

these were two separate issues completely.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, this all brings to mind, I think, Yamiche, some of the comments that

came up last night at the president's rally.

He went to Tennessee to campaign for Marsha Blackburn, who is running for the -- what

will be the vacant Senate seat there.

And he went -- or what happened was he made a long speech, made a lot of comments about

Ms. Blackburn, talked about his own administration, but he also made some statements that just

turned out to be demonstrably not backed up by the facts.

I want to -- let's listen first to one of them.

He was talking about immigrants, deportations.

He specifically singled out this Central American criminal gang called MS-13.

But let's listen to what he said.

DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States: Have you seen what they have done?

Have you seen what they're doing to us?

And we're taking them out of our country by the thousands out, out by the thousands.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

DONALD TRUMP: We have borders down 40 percent, and it's tough because our economy is doing

so well, more people try and get in, so it makes it even tougher.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So what about that?

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Well, that claim is basically false.

He is lying when he's talking about those things.

The first thing is that it's almost impossible for thousands of MS-13 gang members to have

been removed by the United States.

I also want to read some facts from the Customs and Border Protection.

They say that illegal border crossings are actually up this year.

They said that there's about a 2 percent increase from March.

And that's really important because the president is essentially saying that we're taking out

more people than any other administration, we're here kind of getting these things done.

And that's just not true.

I think the other thing that is important here is that the president has repeated these

claims over and over again.

We are going to get to some more, I know.

But it's really important for people to understand that he has been saying this for months and

that this has proven to be false time and time again.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, another in related -- relation to deportations and immigration, the president

talked about the border wall, something he's been talking about since the campaign.

And here I'm going to quote.

We know that he wants this, what he calls it, big wall built along the southern border

with Mexico.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Big, beautiful wall.

JUDY WOODRUFF: But he said last night -- quote -- "We're going to get the wall.

We have already started doing it, so we have already started."

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: So, in 2016, the president promised to create a wall that was 1,000 miles

long.

There have been prototypes shown.

He actually traveled to California to look at those prototypes, but he has not actually

started construction on the wall.

What he has done is essentially said that he's going to replace some old barriers with

new barriers, he's going to fix some existing fence.

But there is no evidence at all that the wall that he promised on the campaign trail is

being built at all.

JUDY WOODRUFF: At least they haven't started, which was his comment.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Yes.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, different subject altogether.

The president brought up the tax cuts that he had proposed that Congress passed for corporations

and individuals last December.

Here's what he said about that:

DONALD TRUMP: We have already accomplished more than anyone ever dreamed possible.

A year-and-a-half, that's all it is.

We have not let you down.

I will never let you down.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

DONALD TRUMP: We have passed the largest tax cuts and reform in American history.

(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)

DONALD TRUMP: Larger than Ronald Reagan many years ago.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, Yamiche?

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: This is again not true.

The Joint Committee on Taxation, which is a neutral arbitrator of tax analysis for Congress,

has said that the tax cuts that he passed in December would add about $1.5 trillion

over 10 years.

That's how much it would cost.

That, even ranked through different analyses, are a lot smaller than Ronald Reagans tax

cuts in the 1980s.

Historically, people have said that these are probably ranked around third or fourth,

but some people have even said that it's eighth.

So, this is something that he has said over and over again, because it's a big talking

point for Republicans.

This was a big victory for them.

And he could have just gone on the campaign trail and said, hey, we had this big win.

Instead, he started talking about things that are just not true.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, Yamiche, in connection with that, the president talked about how

he has created a certain number -- a million -- more than three million jobs have been

created on his watch, and at one point he said wages for the first time in many, many

years are going up.

Wages are going up.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Wages have been going up since 2014, so that again is not something

that's true.

The president there is claiming that he and his administration jump-started that, when

what really happened was that, after the Great Recession, when things hit a really record

low, things started getting better.

Now, it's really -- there is one thing that you can say, that wages can be calculated

by hourly or yearly, so you could in some ways see a gray area there.

But economists across the board have said that that's also false.

And that's another thing that the president has repeated over and over again.

And for people sitting at home, we're not saying that this is -- that the president

is a bad person or that he doesn't deserve to be president, which is I think what the

White House is often saying.

What we're just saying is that the president could have told the truth and talked about

all the victories, and instead he chose to say a lot of things that were lies.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And I think we see our role as holding the president and every other elected

official accountable, whether they state the facts or say something else.

It's our -- part of our role is to hold them accountable.

YAMICHE ALCINDOR: Yes.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Yamiche Alcindor, thank you very much.

Australia Tried Gun Control and Here's What Happened - Duration: 4:11.

Throw them out!

Enough is enough!

Anti-gun activists in the U.S. have been pushing for gun law reform.

Australia, having made substantial changes to its gun laws, is often held as an example.

The country has a very low rate of gun-related homicide when compared to the U.S.,

where people are at least 20 times more likely to be murdered by firearms.

Stricter gun controls can't stop every mass shooting, but they have made Australia a significantly safer place.

Here's how.

Australia used to have a serious problem with gun violence.

Researchers define mass shootings as five or more deaths, not including the perpetrator.

From 1979 to 1996 there were 13 mass shootings,

resulting in over 100 deaths and more than 50 injuries.

However, due to the gun lobby and politicians sympathetic to their firearm-owning voters

little was done to stop gun deaths.

If being a politician and living in that bloody house is the most important thing to them,

then they're not worth it.

In April 1996 that all changed.

On the island of Tasmania, the worst massacre in Australia's history is finally over.

At least 34 people were killed, and four others critically wounded.

Armed with two rifles - an AR-15 and a .308 FN - Martin Bryant made his way through

Port Arthur historic site killing 35 people and injuring a further 23.

Both guns were semi-automatic, rapid-fire weapons and both were legal in the state of Tasmania.

At the time, the Port Arthur massacre was the worst single-person mass shooting in global history.

It utterly shocked Australians and reignited public outrage .

Just 12 days later, the then Prime Minister John Howard pushed through a sweeping set

of gun regulations, despite a lack of support from his rural constituency.

I'm sorry about that, but there is no other way.

There is no other way.

Within a month, the government passed the National Firearms Agreement,

transforming gun legislation in the country.

Before the Port Arthur massacre gun laws varied from state to state.

What the agreement did was standardize the laws nationally.

Certain semi-automatics and self-loading rifles and shotguns were banned.

New licensing requirements were adopted and a national firearms registry was established.

The law says Australians need a "genuine reason" for having a firearm,

such as sport shooting or for agricultural use.

It doesn't include self-defense.

People must go through background checks and wait 28 days before they can buy a gun.

The government also spent $375 million , to buy back 640,000 civilian-owned guns

and then destroyed them.

After the gun law reform, the total number of homicides involving a firearm decreased by half.

The total number of gun-related deaths fell rapidly as well,

dropping more than half in 2016 compared with 1996.

Australia didn't see a single mass shooting from 1996 to 2018, more than 22 years.

However, anti-gun activists warned that following years of lobbying by pro-gun groups,

Australia's strict gun laws have been eroded.

And gun numbers are almost back to the same level as at the time of the Port Arthur massacre.

In May 2018, a family of seven - including four children - were shot dead in an apparent

murder-suicide in the state of Western Australia.

It's brought back painful memories and uncertainty about the issue many thought had been resolved.

Australia is not totally immune to mass shootings,

but its response to the Port Arthur massacre demonstrated how strong political leadership

and strict gun control policies can help curb violence and save lives.

Chris Brown Is Here For Drake & Pusha T Diss Tracks: "Where's The Popcorn?" - Duration: 3:01.

Chris Brown Is Here For Drake & Pusha T Diss Tracks: "Where's The Popcorn?"

Last week, Drake unleashed the Duppy freestyle, sending shots at Pusha T and Kanye West and even sending them an invoice for promotional assistance and career reviving.

While it took a few days for Pusha T to respond to the disses, he did not hold back at all, coming out in full force in The Story of Adidon, claiming that Drake is a deadbeat father who has a baby by a stripper.

The cover uses an old photo of Drizzy in blackface, shocking many when it was revealed to be a legitimate photograph.

As we sit back and watch their feud come together, it appears as though were not the only ones.

Declaring it as the return of hip-hop, Chris Brown was excited to see the back-and-forth between King Push and Drake unfolding.

He made sure to voice his amusement on DJ Akademiks post of the controversial cover art, sliding into the comment section and writing, Hip hop is back.

Wheres the popcorn. As he is used to being caught up in seemingly every dramatic event in Hollywood, Breezy is more than happy to take the backseat here, watching from afar to see how both sides will retaliate.

As the Toronto rapper has declaredly returned to album mode, we may not see his rebuttal until the release of Scorpion but, with the date being set any time during the month of June, the project could drop as soon as this Friday.

In your opinion, who has the upper hand right now? Could Drake go back-to-back once again in his attempt to ether Pusha T? Only time will tell.

Not too long ago, we saw Rakul Preet Singh taking up the fitness challenge and even extending the same to her co-stars.

And now, the actress has decided to give not a challenge but a surprise.

And it is said to be a rather yummy surprise!.

Although fitness is something that Rakul Preet Singh follows regularly, it is also a known fact that the actress is a self-confessed foodie.

In fact, she also enjoys sharing delicious khana with her friends and colleagues.

It was no different on the sets of her upcoming rom-com, for which she is currently shooting alongside Ajay Devgn and Tabu in Mumbai.

Although she was shooting in Maharashtra, Rakul had to fly down to Hyderabad for a day to fulfill a professional commitment.

Whilst in the city, she didn't let go of the opportunity to taste its famous biryani.

The actress, who has always been a fan of the lip-smacking dish, decided to carry some for her colleagues back in the bay as well.

What added to the 'jashn' [celebration] was also when Tabu decided to get the same dish.

Tabu, who also hails from Hyderabad, too got some home-cooked biryani for everyone.

A source close to the production house added, "Soon, it turned out to be one big feast on the set, as the entire crew, dug into the scrumptious spread.".

The film in question that Rakul Preet is shooting for is directed by Akiv Ali and is produced by Luv Ranjan.

While not much is known about the film, we hear that it is seta against the backdrop of a very urban lifestyle.

HERE'S THE WOMAN BELIEVED TO BE THE MOTHER OF DRAKE'S SECRET CHILD - Duration: 2:42.

HERE'S THE WOMAN BELIEVED TO BE THE MOTHER OF DRAKE'S SECRET CHILD

The hip-hop world came crashing down on Wednesday night (May 29) when Pusha-T let off an aggressive diss track targeted at Drake.

Pusha-T took no prisoners on the song, titled The Story of Adidon, and one particularly savage claim he makes is that Drake secretly fathered a child and has abandoned that child and mother of the baby.

Rumors about Drake impregnating a former porn star were circulating in March of 2017 but went largely unsubstantiated, though she hired two lawyers and got a paternity test.

The woman, who many believe is named Sophie Brussaux, gave birth to a son in October of 2017, reportedly on the same day as Drakes birthday. According to Vulture, Brussaux previously worked as an adult film actress under the name Rosee Divine.

Pusha-T references her in some shocking bars on The Story of Adidon, in apparent retribution for Drake mentioning Pushs fiancée Virginia Williams on his own song titled Duppy Freestyle.

Since you name dropped my fiancée, let em know who you chose as your Beyoncé/SophieKnowsBetter as your baby mother/Cleaned her up for IG but the stench is on her/A babys involved, its deeper than rap/We talkin character, let me keep with the facts/You are hiding a child, let that boy come home/Deadbeat muthafucka, playing border patrol," Pusha spits.

SophieKnowsBetter refers to Brussauxs Instagram account, which was quickly set to private after The Story of Adidon dropped. Brussauxs son, whose name is reportedly Adonis, is seen in some of her photos.

Many believe Pusha-T may have gone too far with his response, but well see how Drake responds. See photos of Sophie Brussaux below.

Here is a simple technique to understand how much a property is worth - Duration: 3:31.

- So you're looking to invest in the property market

but you're just not sure how much the properties are worth.

Well keep watching because I'm about to show you a technique

on how to determine real market value

and the three qualities that you should be looking for.

(dramatic music)

Hi everybody, Josh Masters here

and the other day I was teaching at a seminar

and one of the biggest questions that was coming up

or one of the biggest hurdles

that the group was facing

was really understanding the values of the properties

they were looking at on the market.

What were they really worth?

Now, if you're looking an area long enough

you'll probably start to get a natural feel for the place

and you'll start to see what the prices are

that are coming up each and every week.

But what happens when you don't have time

to inspect 10 properties every weekend

or it's an out of area purchase?

So as a regular investor,

one of the things that I like to use

is the sold section on realestate.com.au

and the sold section can be a,

it's actually a little tab up the top

next to buy and rent.

Now, what you want to be doing is comparing

the similar properties

that you've been looking at

to what's been sold recently.

This is how the valuers do it themselves

when they're working for the banks.

Now you want to make sure

that you're comparing similar configurations.

So for example if you're looking at three bedroom houses,

make sure you're putting in three bedroom houses,

with parking or whatever it is

to make sure you're getting that true comparable.

Now once you're there I want you to compare three things.

The first one is location.

Are you comparing a property that's in a similar location

to the one you're looking at

or is it on a main road?

Or in a terrible part of the neighbourhood?

You want to make sure that they're comparable,

so make sure they're in comparable locations.

The second one is size.

Are they similar sizes?

And I'm talking about either land, for houses

that's very important.

Or for units, are you talking about

a 60 square metre unit, or an 80 square metre unit?

Make sure they're comparable.

You also want to make sure that you're comparing

the newest sales and you can do that

by a drop down that says, date, newest to oldest.

Now the third and final category

is comparing the condition.

And that's both internally and externally.

Are you comparing something that's renovated?

Or are you comparing something that's just a dump?

And a bit of a knockdown.

These are three of the critical things

that you need to look at when you're comparing

like for like properties to get a real good gauge

on where the market value sits

for the properties that are on sale today

versus what has just sold.

You can also look at things like,

does it have a view?

Is the architectural quality the same?

Is there an upstairs, downstairs configuration?

You can go into all these minute details if you like

but they're the three main categories

that you should be looking at

and that will give you a really good gauge

on the value that you should be paying today.

If you have any question around this

or would like to ask more,

just drop me a line.

My name's Josh Masters and you've been watching

Here's what we know about Arkady Babchenko - Duration: 6:45.

What do we know about journalist Arkady Babchenko and the alleged plot to kill him? Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko stunned a news conference when he turned up alive two days after he was supposedly murdered

Ukraine's special forces revealed Babchenko's 'murder' had been staged in an attempt to flush out Russian agents who were trying to kill him

Babchenko used the conference to apologise to his wife, who also believed he had been murdered

Here's what we know about him, and why hitmen were after him.Who is Arkady Babchenko? Babchenko is one of Russia's best-known war correspondentsThe 41-year-old took part in the war in Chechnya before he became a war reporter for several Russian newspapers

In February last year, he wrote on Facebook that he left Russia because of threats made against him and his family

Babchenko has a wife and six children, all of whom thought he had been killed in the staged plot

Just hours before the "shooting", Babchenko posted on Facebook that he considered the day a "second birthday" because four years earlier he had missed a flight on a Ukrainian military helicopter that was shot down in the conflict between Ukraine and Moscow-backed separatists

After revealing that he was still alive today, Ukraine's special forces said it was Babchenko's "third birthday"

Why were assassins after him?In his career as a journalist, Babchenko became known as a vocal critic of Russian President Vladimir Putin

He reported on Russia sending private military contractors to Syria and the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 in July 2014 in eastern Ukraine

In a piece for The Guardian, Babchenko said the backlash to one of his Facebook posts in 2016 was the reason he fled Russia

External Link: Babchenko Facebook post According to Babchencko, in the post he expressed "indifference" over a Russian plane crash that killed 92 members of a well-known military choir

Speaking to Israeli newspaper Haaretz after he fled, Babchenko compared Mr Putin to Saddam Hussein

"Children were starving to death while Saddam Hussein continued to build himself palaces of gold

In the end, it all blew up. I think that in Russia too, there will be 15-30 years of slow death, until there's an explosion," he said

Here's what Kiev police chief Andriy Kryshchenko said when he was asked why Babchenko was targeted:What do we know about the plot to kill Babchenko?The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) said it had received information about a plot to kill 30 people in Ukraine, and Babchenko was one of them

It declined to name the other 29 people.Babchenko had allegedly had a contract on his head for two months

A Ukrainian citizen had allegedly been paid $US40,000 ($52,934) by Russian agents to organise the killing, according to the SBUThe Ukrainian man then hired as the gunman an acquaintance who had fought in the Crimean conflict

SBU chief Vasyl Gritsak said the organiser of the plot was detained on Wednesday. OK

But why pretend that Babchenko was dead?We don't know.Babchenko said he wasn't allowed to go into details about his false death

Authorities didn't elaborate either.Is he safe now?Ukranian President Petro Poroshenko said he had ordered law enforcement agencies to protect Babchenko and his family

And what do the Russians think about all this?They're not amused.After his "death" was reported, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov rejected claims the Kremlin had anything to do with it

In the wake of today's revelations, the Russian Foreign Ministry said the Ukrainian government was "fanning anti-Russian hysteria

We're confident our foreign partners and the relevant international agencies will draw correct conclusions from the whole situation

Here's Why Rajinikanth's Kaala Won't Be Screened In Karnataka - Duration: 3:27.

Here's Why Rajinikanth's Kaala Won't Be Screened In Karnataka

The fraternity had decided to support the decision not to screen it to avoid precipitating the issue and respect public sentiment against his views on the inter-state river water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.

Karnataka film distributors and exhibitors have decided not to screen Rajinikanth-starrer Kaala in theatres across the state to protest the superstar's stand on the Cauvery river water row with Tamil Nadu, said a Kannada film industry official on Tuesday.

"In view of the public outrage over Rajinikanth's recent remarks on the setting up of a Cauvery Management Board, distributors and exhibitors have decided not to screen any version his movie Kaala in any theatre in the state, and we welcome it," Karnataka Film Chamber of Commerce (KFCC) President Sa Ra Govindu told IANS here.

Clarifying that the Kannada film industry was not against Rajinikanth, who hails from Bengaluru, Govindu said there was no ban on the new Tamil film.

But the fraternity had decided to support the decision not to screen it to avoid precipitating the issue and respect public sentiment against his views on the inter-state river water dispute between Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, he said.

"Though the distributors and exhibitors would have invested a lot in buying the rights of the film months before its release, we appreciate their decision not to screen it in the largest public interest and to maintain peace in the state," said Govindu.

The film has been dubbed in Telugu and Hindi for an all-India release on June 7 and its trailer has received over 2 million hits and views already.

Many pro-Kannada organizations have also urged the KFCC to prevent the film's release in the state, especially in Bengaluru, which has a sizeable Tamil population, as Rajinikanth's political stand on the Cauvery issue was against Karnataka's interest.

They have been making calls to boycott films of Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan, another Tamil superstar, in the state ever since they began airing their views on the Cauvery issue in favour of Tamil Nadu.

"We will not allow the release of any old or new films of Rajinikanth and Kamal Hassan until they apologize and withdraw their remarks, which are against our interests in the sharing of the Cauvery water with Tamil Nadu and other states," Kannada Chaluvali Vatal Paksha President Vatal Nagaraj told reporters here.
