Youtube daily is the new May 9 2018

Today I'm going to be showing you the new redesigned google news app.

Opening up the app for the first time, you will be greeted by its homepage where you

will be able to view the news personalised for your liking.

On the top of the screen, there will be a search icon to search for your news alongside

your account switcher if you happen to have multiple google accounts.

You can also access the settings of the app there.

Just below, there's a weather icon which when tapped it will give you some additional

information about the weather.

When tapping on news articles, sometimes the app will give you a user friendly reading

layout however on some other articles I've tapped on, I've got given a webpage which

was sideloaded from chrome.

Just below one of the news articles, there's a small icon, when tapped you can view the

full coverage as well as videos and tweets on that specific topic.

There is separate headlines tab which will divide all of the news into separate categories

that you can read on.

You can also favourite news sources by tapping on the star icon.

All of your favourite news sources will appear in the favourites tab.

If you're familiar with Google's Newsstand app, google has now merged newsstand into

there new redesigned news app in a seperate tab.

I do feel that having both of them into one app makes our lives more easier.

All in all, I feel like Google's new redesigned news app is a warm welcome from the old interface,

It definitely feels way more cleaner and polished.

At the moment, you can't install it off the playstore however the flocks at APK Mirror

have uploaded it on there site for you to download I'll leave the link in the description

for you to install it and for you iOS users watching this video, you'll just have to

wait until google releases the app on the AppStore, but apart from that I will see you

in my next video, till then goodbye.

Hands-on with the new Google Lens - Duration: 3:16.

everyone mike symon from PC world I'm here at Google i/o and we're going to

look at some of the new features Google just unveiled for google lens which will

now be inside the camera instead of inside of assistant so let's take a look

of it I'm here with Fred Bruin from Google and he's going to show us some of

the cool new features all right so first of all this is the LG G 7 that's one of

our partner devices so right from the default camera as well as assistant you

can just access google lens right from that so that's that's built into a non

pixel phone this is this is business big-time so there's a built in for the

camera on the LG g7 so you don't have to download I using them go get an app or

anything like that it's right into right in the camera yeah so then we have a

feature called the style match that we announcing today so if you find

something you like could be a bag some clothes shoe you can just tap on this

will find you similar products in this case looks like we found something

pretty close so you can just go straight through that and so that's that's using

Google search it's taking a picture and inside it's a little mind here it's true

it's comparing it against thousands of other bags and images and it's finding

one that matches both what it is and the type of bag it is so if you saw there

there was a lot of bags with that kind of that you know rough leather look with

like different swatches and it kind of uses all that and it uses it's it's AI

to really understand okay I'm looking at a specific type of bag not just an air

bag yep so then the the other feature we can show you is smart type selection you

can also kind of see those dots that kind of shows you that it's working and

when it when it nails on something it brings up those colored dots

so here I can go straight from an item on a menu that I might know you might

not know what it is and I can go straight to looking at images of this to

learn more the other great example of smart text selection I can show you is

over on a book so let's say you have a passage that you want to send to a

friend you can just tap on this and then now this text is just interactive as if

it was on the screen so you can you can grab copy and translate pull those text

I mean this is like a life-changing stuff so you can have you know a book or

a static PDF or something that you can't usually grab the text from and just take

it and use it in and your document or email or whatever you a message

what-have-you just by just by your camera so all this will be available in

an update to Google lens at the end of this month

yeah and the g7 comes out I think LG hasn't quite now the Dania but it's

somewhere around late-may early-june so it'll probably be on that device when it

launches as well as the pixel and other the one plus six they mentioned as well

so we're talking about you know a lot of the newer Android forms that are coming

out and the middle of 2018

Harry Becomes The New Thinker FINALLY! Speed Force Symbols Explained!? - The Flash 4x21 Breakdown - Duration: 6:37.

what is good youtube warstu hee video on the flash now if you're into

the flash season 4 this is the channel for you so make sure to subscribe so

last night's episode of the flash was called episode 21 and it was entitled

Harry and the Harrisons but before we get into this video review I will know

guys did you like this episode I personally thought it was a pretty solid

episode though it was a filler based episode we usually get these filler

episodes two episodes to go so there's no point hating on the show I've seen

some negativity on Twitter and around Instagram of people saying it was a

pointless episode but no these small further episodes do build up to the main

narrative of the story so we're gonna do is the video how he always doing in

chronological no in not chronological order in ever what order I want so the

main narrative of this episode was actually finding amulet black the

actress that isn't America that isn't English but she puts on this ridiculous

English accent I don't know why so ever since the wardens of iron Heights was

killed she's pretty much been in hiding and they need her they need her help so

they get her help but what's interesting is she gets screwed over by Norvik I

believe is which was the guy that kind of Caitlin snow killer frost was working

with during the first few episodes over the season and we find out that he can

actually spit venom out of his eye and it's a snake which is kind of

interesting now and then what Barry Allen did is he actually phased through

other than venom which I didn't actually know he could do so that's kind of

interesting and then analytic got what she wanted which was her shards and then

she gave him a device which could potentially help and take out Clifford

avoid a thinker but guys we know it's not going to happen so we got the

Council of wells and they rejected Harry because Harry

wasn't clever enough to be in there so we got the new council of Harry's I

guess you could say and they gave him a plan to think a like a psychopath

because obviously Clifford DeVoe isn't a psychopath but he's been turned into an

and in robot form I guess you could say so

that's what people interpretating him being a robot drone so Harry came up

with a plan that's to out think a psychopath you have to become psychopath

and we didn't actually see Clifford devote join us episode and Harry came up

the conclusion Harry in Cisco that that was because of one little thing Marley's

the mechanic his wife has left him so now they're looking for where she could

be and obviously we already know that TAC

team flash gets a surprise Ally which will be the mechanics as she is gonna be

vital to take him down the thinker so this episode is everything that the

flash should have been now I really love the kind of the way the flash was this

episode we got Harry we've got Cisco doing the jokes we got iris West being a

journalist again she wanted to write a piece on devote a thinker war than

everyone asking him and right at the ending scene was she got some messages

from her blog I think it was and everyone's been seeing Clifford DeVoe

around which is kind of a small I guess you could say writers Blackpoint pot

because let me get it straight with 21 episodes in RS Wes writes a blog and all

of a sudden everyone sees him everywhere so that's very interesting obviously

next week's episode is called think fast and we will be seen at John Diggle from

arrow which is pretty interesting I did like this episode but there's a few

things that it didn't address I actually honestly thought when he went to a

coffee shop we're gonna get to see mooshri go Jessica Kennedy Parker but we

didn't but what's interesting is in in England at the same week of heroes and

villains she's actually at MCM London comic-con which makes me think that she

will be a season 5 regular but what's actually very interesting is flash have

done it again this year don't get me wrong I do like the flash but there are

parts that are kind of lacking so we're 21 episodes in guys and the speedforce

symbols have actually not come to correlation yet we've not found anything

about them so is the speedforce symbols actually speed war symbols or are the

Speed Force symbols that Clifford DeVoe how Donnie's whiteboard in last week's

episode and it was also in the book Mali's red are these symbols ATS the

Enlightenment see all this time everyone's been thinking the speedforce

symbols are actually to do with how barry is going to take out the thinker

but are these speed war symbols actually to do with what the Enlightenment is

obviously we know that Clifford DeVoe is trying to turn everyone brain-dead which

would be kind of funny but only a black agreed to help in this episode because

she doesn't want to become an Android brain-dead which is interesting so yes

it was a filler episode but it was a very really good episode God that was

good English it was a really good episode for my boy Tom Cavanaugh who

sadly isn't gonna be in a heroes and villains this year in London which is

kind of annoying but he was the MVP such a good actor we got to see new versions

of him can't remember a name but the French dude that dude with the slicked

back hair pretty cool does that guy have has he got endless talent very

interesting I really do like the Harrison Wells version with the glasses

on and would love to see him again so anyway guys let me know what you thought

about the episode there were loads of Easter egg comic book Easter eggs about

Captain America I think another thought but I'm not

really into Easter eggs in video so I'm not really gonna go over Easter eggs so

guys let me know in the comments down below what you think about this video I

will have my trailer breakdown up after this or before this for think fast this

is where things are really gonna get hot really can't wait to find out where this

storyline is going but before I go we need to talk about Caitlin snow the

reason she wanted to work with a minute black with that great English accent was

purely because she wanted to get Caitlin snow back what do I mean by that she

wants killer frost back and basically to splice the device that she wanted to use

basically who said it was just the effect where you think something's

working because you told it was and secretly it didn't do anything so the

secrets of Caitlin getting the killer frost back is basically her figuring it

out in our own head anyway guys please like subscribe and comment and I will

catch you in another video very soon guys catch ya later

Why John Bolton Wants a Fringe Group to Rule Iran | NYT News - Duration: 4:12.

"There is a viable opposition to the rule of the ayatollahs.

And that opposition is centered in this room today."

That's John Bolton.

He's speaking at the annual gathering

of an Iranian dissident group

known as the Mujahedeen Khalq, or the M.E.K.

Bolton has long been vehemently opposed

to the Iran nuclear deal

and to having dialogue with the Iranian government.

"The behavior and the objectives of the regime

are not going to change.

And therefore, the only solution is to change the regime itself.

And that's why, before 2019,

we here will celebrate in Tehran.

Thank you very much."

Bolton believes the M.E.K. is a viable alternative

to Iran's government.

So what is the M.E.K.?

It's a dissident group and its primary mission

is to overthrow the regime in Iran.

A 2011 State Department estimate said

the group had between 5,000 to 13,000 members.

Most M.E.K. members are Iranian exiles

living in Europe and the U.S.

Many experts believe it has little support

inside Iran itself.

They often stage demonstrations against Iran's human rights record

and its cleric-run state.

It's often described as a cult.

The U.S. State Department says it calls for forcing spouses

to divorce and weekly ideological cleansing sessions.

It was led by Massoud Rajavi, but he's been missing since 2003,

and so his wife, Maryam Rajavi, has become the de facto leader.

Until 2012, the United States considered it a terrorist organization.

M.E.K.'s tactics have shifted over the years.

But it has been known to use violence to achieve its goals.

M.E.K. started in Iran in the 1960s.

In the 1970s, it carried out anti-regime activities

against the shah,

right up until the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

And then, it targeted

Ayatollah Khomeini's government, too.

But it didn't stop there.

During this time it was also suspected

to be behind the assassination of six Americans

and the bombings of American companies in Iran.

The group eventually moved to Iraq

and tried to destabilize the Iranian regime from there.

But after Saddam Hussein was toppled,

the country grew too dangerous for them,

even with U.S. troops present.

"M.E.K. was still a pretty undesirable group.

But we did not want to watch it be slaughtered in Iraq."

Today, Bolton isn't the only public figure

to find common cause with the M.E.K.

Rudy Giuliani, former D.N.C. chair Ed Rendell

and Trump Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao

have spoken at or attended M.E.K.'s national conference.

The group also has an aggressive lobbying arm

and seems to have deep pockets.

"The amusing thing is that the M.E.K.

will try to buy pretty much anyone:

You know, I was approached to do events

in support of the M.E.K.

I know a number of other former government officials

who found them truly detestable

also were approached.

You know, it's really something

to have someone on the phone offering you

$15,000 or $20,000 to appear at a panel discussion,

because that doesn't happen for former diplomats every day."

Since he became national security adviser,

Bolton hasn't said who he'd like to see take over in Iran.

But if past statements are any guide,

M.E.K's most powerful advocate

is now within earshot of the president.

"I have said for over 10 years since coming to these events

that the declared policy of the United States of America

should be the overthrow of the mullahs' regime in Tehran."

Is Don Blankenship Too Trump-Like Even for Trump? | NYT News - Duration: 1:51.

"Swamp captain Mitch McConnell has created millions of jobs

for China people. While doing so, Mitch has gotten rich."

This is Don Blankenship.

He's the Trump-like Republican candidate

running for Senate in West Virginia

who even Donald Trump can't get behind.

"So in a single vote,

we can vote for Trump's policies and against the swamp."

"Both Dons know a thing or two about creating jobs."

Blankenship's "America First"-style campaign

hasn't minced words.

"D.C. swamp captain Mitch McConnell

said he will drop President Trump like a rock.

Now he backs false and negative ads

against Trump supporter Don Blankenship."

"In fact his China family has given him

tens of millions of dollars.

The war to drain the swamp

and create jobs for West Virginia people has begun."

He has spent a considerable amount

of airtime targeting the family of Transportation Secretary

Elaine Chao, Mitch McConnell's wife,

who is Chinese-American.

He's a former coal executive who served a year in prison

for his role in a mining explosion

that killed 29 people in 2010,

a charge he portrays as a political conspiracy.

"Did you know Don Blankenship's trial

was not about the mine explosion?"

"Really? You sure?"

"Oh, yeah.

The Obama judge wouldn't even let Don mention the explosion

and the Obama prosecutors knew Don had nothing

to do with the explosion."

He's gained support in coal country

and that's making Republicans in Washington nervous.

A G.O.P.-linked super PAC has even funded a series of ads against him.

Blankenship has survived other hiccups as well.

It has been reported that he actually resides in Las Vegas,

not West Virginia, and is the only candidate

who hasn't disclosed his finances.

Voters go to the ballot box on May 8.

"I will beat Joe Manchin and ditch 'cocaine Mitch'

for the sake of the kids."

Meet the New Bot Framework Emulator - Duration: 11:57.

>> You want to make your bot

writing experience much more enjoyable?

You're not going to want to miss this episode

of the AI Show where Tony takes

us through the new Bot Framework Emulator,

new and improved, shiny, amazing.

You're not going to want to miss it. Take a look.

Hello and welcome to this episode of the AI show.

We're going to talk about the new Bot Emulator.

Did I get it right?

>> That is right.

>> How are you doing, Tony?

>> I'm doing well. How are you doing?

>> Good. Tell us who you are and what you do.

>> So, yeah. My name is Tony Indiana and I am one of

the developers on the Microsoft Bot Framework

and Azure Bot Service Team.

And over the past few months I've been working a

lot on the new Bot Framework Emulator,

and I'm pretty excited to show you

guys some of the new features we have.

>> All right. Let's take a look.

>> Okay and for any of those who don't know

the Bot Framework Emulator or

the Microsoft Bot Framework,

check us out on our website at dev.botframework.com,

also on Azure under

"Products in AI and machine learning",

and then we also have some getting started

resources and docs on docs.microsoft.com.

>> Fantastic.

So you got all the deets.

Now, let's take a look at all the bits.

>> Okay. So, here's kind of this end-to-end development

workflow we have that's

around developing a bot from start to finish.

And we've centered this around this new suite

of tools we have called bot builder tools.

>> Nice, of course.

>> Appropriately dubbed. Okay. And so,

the Emulator doesn't cover

all these areas but what it does cover is planning,

testing and refining your bots,

and it excels at those pretty well.

>> Yeah, because once you start building bots,

the first one you build you're like, oh, now I get this.

So, I have actually planned this like I do

all my software which takes a bit of time.

And these tools are designed to help with that.

>> Correct.

>> All right. Let's take a look.

>> Okay. So yeah.

So, we have this new transcript mode

and presentation mode and transcripts

which help you basically view mocked conversations as

they would look in production without

having to write a single line of code.

So, that's pretty cool.

For testing, we have all the core functionalities of

the old Bot Emulator

which basically allows you to set debug,

set breakpoints in your code and have

a full debugging experience.

And refining your bot,

we have this really cool piece of

UI called the inspector panel,

which allows you to look at all

the underlying structure of

your messages to and from

your bot and your network traffic and all that stuff.

>> So you could actually get in there and debug.

>> Yeah. You can see what's

going on behind the scenes and everything.

Okay, so now that I've talked about all this,

let me kind of dive in and

show you what I'm talking about here.

>> Just do it.

>> So, here we are in the new Emulator welcome page.

You can see we've given it a pretty significant face lift

for any of those who have used the old one.

And so basically, what I'm going to do is show you

transcripts and what those

are because they're a brand new concept.

So, let's go ahead

and open this transcript in the left over here.

And now, what you'll see is it

has populated this Web chat window with

basically every message in

this conversation's history just

like we had this conversation right here.

>> This is literally like wireframing

your old apps that we used to have Windows with, right?

This is like wireframing your chat.

>> Right. Exactly. What a transcript is is basically

just a record of a conversation you

had with a bot that the Emulator can understand.

>> Is it? What kind of format are

we talking about? Is it complicated for me?

>> No, it's basically just a JSON array

of just a bunch of conversation activities.

>> So, you can literally type one

up in notepad if you want.

>> So, I'll get to that later.

>> Cool.

>> That will be with chat down

and that converts to a transcript,

but transcripts are actually auto

generated by the Emulator.

So, I'll show you how to do that.

>> Fantastic.

>> So basically, let's open up a live chat.

So, this means I'm talking with a remote bot right here.

We can see it's talking to testbot.botframework.com.

So, test bot is just going to echo back whatever I say.

Hey, test bot, it will say hey.

And I'm giving it the smiley face.

Echo stuff like that and

basically getting a transcript off from this is as

easy going up here hitting "Save

transcript as" and then you just say,

you know, just made this.

And we can save it. We can see it populated in

this file explorer window to the left and

we can click that and open it and boom there's

the conversation we just had with test bot.

>> That's cool.

>> And then one other way

to do it is with our new tool called chat down.

So, real quick.

I'll show you how easy it is to

create a transcript from a chat file with chat down.

So basically, what we want to do is just say,

okay what does our user's name

going to be? That's going to be me.

We're going to say what does our bot's name going to be?

That's going to be demo bot, I guess.

And then basically, it's as easy

as writing back and forth,

what you want each person to say to one another.

>> I see.

>> Yeah. So, I'll say,

"Hey, how's it going demo bot?"

Oops. That was a typo.

Okay. And then demo bot's going to respond with, "Hey.

I'm doing really well.

What can I help?"

>> Typing man.

>> Typing is so hard.

>> That's why we have bots that speak now.

>> "Hey, I'm doing really well.

What can I assist you with today?"

And, I'm just going to say, "Oh,

I was just wondering what you think of the demo so far?".

>> Well, you're a fast typer though.

I'm looking to that.

>> It helps. And demo bot is going to say,

"Well, to be honest,

I think this is probably the best demo I've ever seen."

>> Nice.

>> You know demo bots are really nice.

>> Of course.

>> And so we're going to save this in

our folder here called,

let's just call it demo.chat.

So, a chat file is what is

consumed by our tool chat down.

And chat down is not included in the Emulator,

but you can install it via

NPM and stuff like that. It's really easy.

So, we can go back to our folder here.

We can see the demo chat is in there and all we

have to do is chatdown,

the name of the chat file we want to convert,

pipe it into the name

of the transcript file we want to generate.

>> Nice.

>> And then we just wait a little bit and it's done.

It's that fast. And then we go.

We can see the demo.transcript

is in our little file explorer.

We can click that. Boom, there's

the conversation we just had.

>> It was even smarter than my dumb textfile idea.

>> Right.

>> Nice. It's like you thought about this.

>> Yeah, we thought about it. We have everything covered.

>> So, a couple of questions about this

when you're doing these wire.

Is there a way to do like the cards in line as well?

>> Yes, so you can. So, just

for the sake of time I just did

a purely text based demo but yeah you can do,

you can send a little typing notifications

and delays and also,

yeah rich content cards or adaptive cards.

>> Awesome. So what other features

you are going to show me?

>> So basically, we still have some of

our core functionality so I just want to show you that,

let's switch to another bot here actually.

Well, actually before I do that,

let me show you presentation mode.

So, let's say you just mocked

up a real quick conversation.

You didn't have time to work on this concept.

You are thinking about but you wanted to show

your team what a new bot idea would look like.

And so you don't want to show them this UI,

you want to show them, boom, this presentation mode.

You just hit "Presentation",

it goes into this full screen kind of

cinematic mode and it kind of just

shows you just the focus of the chat window.

>> I love it.

>> So, when you're wireframing

and showing the stakeholders,

they can be like, "Yeah, I totally

love this conversation".

>> And you can see how

fast I just whipped up that transcript

and we went from a text file to this in like two minutes.

>> Love it.

>> So, pretty fast.

Okay, so let's go look at

some of the other functionality we have.

I'll open up this cafe bot.

The cafe bot is running locally.

So, just to show you some of

the core functionality we still have,

I will show you that we can still

put breakpoints in our code here.

So, here's just the source code and I'll

just break and when we get a response

back from LUIS and then I'll talk to the bot.

Hey. And now we can see that we hit that breakpoint.

We can step over and we can see the "Hey".

We got this LUIS results here with,

it's kind of small but we got this

LUIS result with all these entities and stuff like that.

>> Cool.

>> Okay. And then we'll just go through

that. We will move this breakpoint.

Okay. And then some of

the other functionality we have is we can open

two simultaneous live chats at

a time to the same bot. So, that's pretty cool.

You can debug side by side.

I can split this over to the other tab

and I can have a little conversation over

here and have

a completely independent conversation in the left window.

>> That's nice. So, if you're lonely,

you can open as many chat lives as you want.

>> You can feel like you're so popular.

>> Awesome. That's how I'm going to feel

popular at the expense.

>> Okay. And then one final thing we'll show

you guys is this new services tab we have over here.

>> Holy cow, that's amazing.

>> Yes, so you can connect things like LUIS and

QnA Maker and even to

the Azure Bot Service with these services.

And basically what you do is you just open this,

you type in the name of

your LUIS app, the application ID,

the authoring key version,

et cetera, and then you submit.

And now your bot can key off of these new LUIS traces.

So, let's take a look at this.

I already have LUIS hooked up to this.

So, we say, let's start over this conversation.

And then I can just say, "Hey".

And if we look in this log over here to the right,

we can see that oh we have

this new thing called the LUIS trace.

And so now we can click on this LUIS trace.

And in this inspector,

it has the model name of my LUIS model,

it has the app ID

and it has all the results from LUIS saying,

"Oh here's what you scored.

Here's the top scoring intent."

Okay. And so.

>> Well, that's super handy.

I mean, because usually

it just goes and then it comes

back and you're like, "What happened?"

And you got to look at the logs over there.

But this is hooking directly up to

the service and then getting

all of the logs are happening.

>> Right. So, it's no longer

a black box that you just kind of

have to cross your fingers and hope everything works out.

>> Which I do with on my cellphone.

>> Right. And so, on the left here,

what's really cool is that you can click

this LUIS link and it will deep

link right into the language model in the LUIS portal.

So, you can tweak your language models

right here in the LUIS portal.

But I know what you're saying.

You're saying, "Oh you know Tony,

I really don't want to leave your beautiful new app."

>> I was just saying that I didn't want to leave the app.

>> Exactly. We just gave it

a such a nice UI. I don't want to leave it.

It's so awesome and sleek and we're saying, "Okay.

Yeah we kind of feel that way, too."

So what you can do now is,

let's say we're going to start over in

conversation and we're going to say something like,

"Howdy, partner" to the bot.

Okay. It actually understood that.

"Howdy there". Okay. So it says,

"Sorry, I do not understand that."

So we're going to go and we're going to click on

this LUIS trace and we're going to see

that it scored none as the highest in 10.

So, what we're going to do is mark that as a greeting.

Yeah. And so now you'll see

train light up over here in the corner.

We can now train training.

It was successful.

We can now publish this model.

And so it just went and published that.

So, now if we start over,

we should be able to say, "Howdy

there," and it says, "Hello".

So, it knows it's a greeting now.

>> Nice.

>> So, yeah, that's something

we're really excited about and

that's our new plug-in model and a lot

of developers are going to be able to create

these custom traces that they'll be able to key

off of and present their own UI in the inspector panel.

>> All right Tony,

thanks so much for spending some time with us.

We are learning all about

the Bot Framework Emulator

which is pretty cool. You can do ton of things in it.

Thanks so much for watching. We'll see you next time.

Take care.

The Next Steps - Duration: 7:47.

>> WE JUST HEARD FROM THE

NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR

WOMEN'S PRESIDENT OF THE NEW

YORK CHAPTER WHO TALKED ABOUT

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR WOMEN GOING

FORWARD.

BUT WHAT COMES NEXT FOR

SCHNEIDERMAN?

AND WHO WILL BE IN CHARGE OF THE

INVESTIGATION?

AND IF CONVICTED, WHAT TYPE OF

SENTENCE IS SCHNEIDERMAN FACING?

JOINING US NOW IS JULIE

RENDELMAN, A FORMER PROSECUTOR

WHO PROSECUTED SEX CRIMES AND

HOMICIDE AND IS A DEFENSE

ATTORNEY IN HER OWN RIGHT.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME.

>> FIRST LET'S TALK ABOUT

POTENTIAL CHARGES.

IF CHARGES WERE BROUGHT AGAINST

MR. SCHNEIDERMAN, WHAT ARE WE

TALKING ABOUT?

>> SO I THINK THE MAXIMUM HE IS

FACING IS MISDEMEANOR CHARGES.

>> UM-HUM.

>> WE ARE TALKING ABOUT ASSAULT.

WE SAY IN NEW YORK IT'S ASSAULT

IN THE THIRD DEGREE AND CRIMINAL

OBSTRUCTION OF BREATHING.

THOSE TWO SEEM TO BE THE CHARGES

THAT FIT WITH AT LEAST THE

ALLEGED ALLEGATIONS.

HOWEVER, THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS WITH

REGARDS TO AT LEAST ONE OF THE

ALLEGED VICTIMS.

>> AND WHEN YOU SAY THERE IS

SOMETHING WITH THAT, I MEAN HAS

IT BEEN TOO MUCH TIME GONE BY?

SO THERE IS A TWO-YEAR STATUTE

OF LIMIT ASSIGNINGS WHEN IT

COMES TO MISDEMEANOR CHARGES.

AND ONE OF THE ALLEGED VICTIMS

APPEARS TO MAKE ALLEGATIONS THAT

OCCURRED BETWEEN 2013 AND 2015.

SO THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM IN

TERMS OF GOING FORWARD

CRIMINALLY WITH THOSE CASES.

>> BUT THAT SQULOO IN THAT

SPECIFIC CASE.

>> THAT SPECIFIC ONE THE OTHER

ONES WOULD HOLD IF THEY CHOSE TO

BRING CHARGES.

>> IF THEY CHOSE.

AT LEAST TWO VICTIMS HAVEN'T

GIVEN NAMES UP.

BUT THE ONES THAT HAVE MADE AILS

OF ASSAULT.

AND SO COULD BE VIABLE IN TERMS

OF THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS.

>> THAT BRINGS UP THE NEXT

QUESTION OF WHO HAS JURISDICTION

OVER THIS?

BECAUSE UNDER NORMAL

CIRCUMSTANCES IT WOULD BE CY

VANCE, EXCEPT THAT THAT WOULD BE

COMPLICATED BECAUSE

SCHNEIDERMAN'S OFFICE WAS

INVESTIGATING CY VANCE'S, THE

MANHATTAN DACHEL OFFICE.

FOR THEM.

>> IT'S A LITTLE MESSY.

>> YES SFLA AND UNFORTUNATELY

POLITICS IS ALWAYS MESSY.

AND SO IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THEY

COULD BRING IN A SPECIAL

PROSECUTOR TO LOOK AT THIS CASE.

REMEMBER, THIS IS AN

INVESTIGATION.

>> RIGHT.

>> SO IT'S VERY EARLY STAGES.

WE DON'T KNOW, YOU KNOW, WHETHER

THE WITNESSES OR THE VICTIMS

EVEN WANT TO GO FORWARD AND

WHETHER THEY'RE WILLING TO GO

FORWARD.

THEN THE NEXT QUESTION BECOMES,

IS THERE CORROBORATION OF WHAT

THEY'RE SAYING?

IS THERE EVIDENCE THAT SUPPORTS

IT?

BECAUSE IT WAS A WHIL BEFORE

THEY CAME FORWARD.

AND THERE IS QUESTIONS THAT NEED

TO BE ASKED TO HAVE A CLEAR AND

FAIR INVESTIGATION OF THE CASE.

>> ASIDE FROM THE ASSAULT --

POTENTIAL ASSAULT CHARGES THAT

MIGHT BE BROUGHT, IS THERE ANY

POSSIBILITY FOR ANY ABUSE OF

OFFICE?

SOME OF THE OTHER ALLEGATIONS

MADE WERE THAT THE ATTORNEY

GENERAL WOULD SAY, YOU KNOW, I

HAVE THE POWER TO HAVE YOU --

YOUR PHONES TAPPED OR HAVE YOU

FOLLOWED.

>> SURE.

>> OR I AM THE LAW.

>> THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

AND I HATE TO SAY TIME WILL

TELL.

I THINK THE BIGGEST CONCERN FOR

HIM RIGHT NOW IS THE ASSAULT

AILS.

YOU KNOW, THE POTENTIAL IS THAT

HE COULD BE SENTENCED UP TO A

YEAR IN JAIL.

IT WON'T HAPPEN IN THESE TYPE OF

CASES BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE

NORM TO HAPPEN.

BUT -- BUT, YES, THERE ARE OTHER

CHARGES THAT ARE POTENTIAL.

IT DEPENDS ON HOW THE

INVESTIGATION REVEALS ITSELF.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WELL, THEN, IF YOU WERE HIS

ATTORNEY -- BECAUSE I GUESS

TECHNICALLY WE CAN STILL SAY

ATTORNEY GENERAL SHIERTMAN FL

TOMORROW.

BUT THE POINT IS HE ALREADY CAME

OUT AND MADE A STATEMENT.

>> RIGHT.

>> AND THAT SEEMS SORT OF ODD

GIVEN THAT HE IS AN ATTORNEY.

YOU'RE AN ATTORNEY.

WHAT WOULD YOU ADVISE HIM AS A

CLIENT.

>> THE SIMPLE ANSWER ANY

ATTORNEY IS GOING TO SAY IS KEEP

YOUR MOUTH SHUT.

>> UM-HUM.

>> ANYTHING YOU SAY -- EVERYONE,

AN ATTORNEY BOTH PROSECUTOR AND

DEFENSE KNOWS THAT ANYTHING YOU

SAY CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU IN

THE FUTURE.

SO WHEN YOU START RESPONDING TO

ALLEGATIONS THOSE RESPONSES CAN

BE USED TO FURTHER CORROBORATE

AND SUPPORT WHAT THE VICTIMS ARE

SAYING.

AND SO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT LET

THE ATTORNEY DO THE TALKING.

>> DOES IT GET COMPLICATED BY

THE FACT THAT HE IS AN ELECTED

OFFICIAL AND AS AN ELECTED

OFFICIAL THAT MAKES A LOT OF

SENSE TO MAKE A STATEMENT TO

CLARIFY FOR --

>> EXCEPT THAT HE RESIGNED TWO

MINUTES LATER.

WHEN YOU GO ON TWITTER -- WE ALL

HAVE A DESIRE TO DEFEND

OURSELVES.

SOMETIMES SILENCE IS A BETTER

APPROACH BECAUSE WE CAN DEFEND

OURSELVES ONCE WE KNOW THE

DETAILS OF WHAT WE ARE ACCUSED

OF.

ANY ATTORNEY WILL SAY KEEP YOUR

MOUTH SHUT UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WE

ARE FACING.

>> I DO WANT TO TURN BACK TO --

NOT NECESSARILY THE VICTIMS IN

THIS CASE BUT TO ANY OTHER WOMEN

WHO MIGHT BE IN A SITUATION,

BECAUSE OF COURSE THIS BECOMES,

WELL, PART OF THE WHOLE POINT OF

THE RECKONING OF ME TOO IS FOR

THE POWERFUL MEN HELD ACCOUNT.

YET YOU SAY FOR AT LEAST ONE OF

THE POSSIBLE POTENTIAL CASES A

STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS MAY BE IN

PLAY.

FOR WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN IN

SIMILAR SITUATIONS WITH

INCREDIBLY POWERFUL, WELL-KNOWN

MEN, BE IT NEW YORK, ANYWHERE

ELSE, WHAT WOULD YOUR ADVICE BE

TO THEM.

>> NO ONE CAN PLACE THEMSELVES

IN A VICTIM'S SHOES.

AND THERE ARE MANY REASONS WHY

PEOPLE DON'T COME FORWARD.

SOMETIMES IT'S BECAUSE THEY ARE

DEALING WITH POWERFUL MEN.

SOMETIMES IT'S FOR THEIR OWN

REASONS THEY DON'T WANT TO FEEL

SHAME OR EMBARRASSMENT OF COMING

FORWARD.

BECAUSE A LOT OF TIMES WHEN THE

VICTIMS CAME FORWARD, THE MEDIA

CAME AFTER THAT INSTEAD OF AFTER

THE ACTUAL ASSAULTER.

SO THE IDEA -- THE ASSUMPTION --

NOW TIMES HAVE HOPEFULLY CHANGES

THAT VICTIMS FEEL COMFORTABLE

COME FORWARD.

WHEN YOU TRM COME FORWARD

QUICKER THERE IS MORE CHANCE OF

THERE BEING ADDITIONAL EVIDENCE

THAT SUPPORTS YOUR CLAIM.

IT MAKES IT EASIER FOR THE

POLICE AND THE DISTRICT

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE TO MAKE A

BETTER INVESTIGATION OF THE CASE

AND MAKE YOUR CASE STRONGER.

SO COMING FORWARD SOONER IS

HELPFUL CERTAINLY IN THOSE

INDICATIONS.

>> BUT THEN AGAIN IN THE

SPECIFIC SITUATIONS DOES IT

BEHOOVE THESE WOMEN, THE FACT

THAT IT SEEMS AS IF THEY

DOCUMENTED AND LEFT A PAPER

TRAIL AS MUCH AS HUMANLY

POSSIBLE.

>> AN AMAZING PAPER TRAIL.

THIS IS NOT THE NORM WHERE YOU

HEAR NOT JUST FROM WITNESSES BUT

ALLEGED VICTIMS TAKING PICTURES

AND SENT TO FRIENDS AND EMAILS

TO FRIENDS AT THE TIME THE

INCIDENTS HAPPENED.

THIS IS HELPFUL.

AND COMING FORWARD -- THIS IS

NOT JUDGMENT OF THE INDIVIDUALS

THAT DIDN'T COME FORWARD.

>> OF COURSE NOT.

>> AS A FORMER PROSECUTOR IF I

HAD MY WAY THEY WOULD COME

FORWARD QUICKER SO WE CAN HELP

DEAL WITH THE PERPETRATOR.

>> ALL RIGHT.

WELL A FINAL QUESTION THEN, WHAT

AT LEAST FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE

DO YOU THINK THAT WE CAN EXPECT

TO SEE WITH THIS SITUATION?

OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN INTERIM

ATTORNEY GENERAL.

THE POLITICKED SIDE WILL PLAY

OUT.

BUT ON THE LEGAL SIDE WHAT DO

YOU SEE ON THE HORIZON.

>> THERE IS A POSSIBILITY -- AND

ITD BE GUESSING.

BUT THERE IS CERTAINLY A

POSSIBILITY OF CRIMINAL CHARGES

DOWN THE LINE WITH AT LEAST ONE

OF THE VICTIMS.

THE FACT THAT THEY CAME OUT TOO

ME INDICATES THAT THEY'RE

WILLING TO SPEAK TO THE DISTRICT

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE ABOUT WHAT

HAPPENED TO THEM.

AND KEEP IN MIND ALTHOUGH THE

ORIGINAL ALLEGED VICTIM OF WHICH

THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS MAY

NOT BE ABLE TO PRESS CRIMINAL

CHARGES SHE MAY BE ABLE TO

ASSIST IN THE OTHER CHARGES,

BECAUSE THERE IS SOMETHING

CALLED MOD US OPER ON HER AYE

WHICH MAY TEND TO SHOW HE DOES

THESE TYPES OF CRIMES WHICH IS

WHAT HAPPENED IN BILL COSBY.

>> WE JUST SAW THAT PLAY OUT.

THANK YOU, JULIE FOR WALKING US

THROUGH THE LEGAL MAIZE OF WHAT

MAY OR AY NOT BE POTENTIAL

CHARGES.

>> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. 286 00:07:39,792 >> THANK YOU.

A New Boundary | Something New - Duration: 23:24.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ changed everything

When he arose from the dead

Jesus assured in something new and

The newness that began with Jesus continues to unfold as the Apostles boldly crossed boundaries

To proclaim the good news just like Jesus did

Here now this account from Acts chapter 10 verses 34 through

36 and verses 44 through 48

Listen for what Peter says about who God welcomes into the family of Jesus Christ

Then Peter began to speak to them I

Truly understand that God shows no partiality

But in every nation anyone who fears him and does what is right is acceptable to him

You know the message he sent to the people of Israel preaching peace by Jesus Christ. He is Lord of all

While Peter was still speaking the Holy Spirit fell upon all who heard the word

The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astounded that

That the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles

For they heard them speaking in tongues and extolling God

Then Peter said can anyone withhold the water for baptizing these people who have received the Holy Spirit

Just as we have

So he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ

Then they invited him to stay for several days

the Word of God for the people of God

Thanks Pete

Do you remember the classic movie The Breakfast Club in?

The opening monologue the character Brian says this about the odd collection of students who are gathering for morning detention

He says to the administration you see us as you want to see us in the simplest terms in the most

convenient definitions

you see us as a brain an

athlete a basket case a

princess and a criminal

Simple can vini and definitions about their identities that were based on their differences trying to sort these students into

categories

Now let's be real though. We do the same thing don't we I mean who here is a fan of Texas A&M and

Who's a fan of University of Texas?

all right, who here is a native Texan and

Who is a transplant like me all right? Who here is more at home in the great outdoors

All right, and who here is more likely to be found chillin on the couch watching Netflix

Maybe binge watching a couple of TV shows all at once

Yeah, okay, so some of these differences are interesting we laugh about them. We we connect with people over those things that make us unique

But friends the reality is that sometimes differences are also used to separate and divide us I

Wonder what it might be like if we like the students in the Breakfast Club

Discovered that even with our differences we all share a common bond

Now the interplay between difference and unity becomes a major theme in the book of Acts

As we've been exploring these stories of the early church during the Easter season we've been

Rediscovering how the resurrection of Jesus brought about something new in the world

We learned about the new community that formed in his name the new power that God gave them to bring healing to the world

the new message they proclaim about the good news of Jesus and

the new mission they've been given to proclaim the gospel one on one

Now as we continue in the story of the Apostles and the early church we encounter a rather

fascinating account about insiders and outsiders

And how the new boundary for the community of faith looks very different from anything. They've ever seen before

You see

The early church was predominantly a Jewish sect of Jesus followers

but as

Gentiles people who were not Jewish started to notice that something was really interesting and world-changing about this Jesus guy

The early church had to start to figure out whether or not Gentiles could be part of the community of faith

They had to renegotiate their understanding of their own identity and their

Understanding of how God was at work in the lives of other people

Now they got a hint of what this new boundary might look like when Jesus

Commissioned his followers to spread the good news not only in Judea, but also in Samaria and to the ends of the earth

But as we ourselves know it's one thing to talk about inclusivity

But it's quite another thing to practice it

in

a stunning series of events the Apostle Peter in

particular discovers that in truth God shows no partiality, but

Accepts anyone who honors God and does what is right? No matter who they are or where they come from so

Let's backtrack a little bit to the beginning of this story you see the Jesus Movement has been growing

exponentially to the point that even Gentiles are starting to sit up and take notice of what's happening and

one such, Gentile was a man named Cornelius

Now Cornelius was about as far from a typical Jesus follower as you could get he was a Gentile. He was a Roman

he was a

Centurion what

but

He was also someone who worshiped God, and he was well known for his charity work

He was on the right track and God was stirring things up so that this man

And his family could hear the good news about Jesus

You see Cornelius has a vision of an angel coming to him and saying hey Cornelius your prayers have been heard

Send for a man named Peter, and he'll tell you what's up?

Meanwhile Peter is praying on the rooftop of his friend's house and while he's praying he realizes. He's a little hungry

And he has a vision himself of something like a sheet

Floating down from heaven and and on this sheet are all kinds of animals

I bet they look delicious and God says here Peter eat

But Peter notices that these animals are not kosher

They are outside the boundaries of what someone like him is usually allowed to eat

And he says God. I know I can't eat this I know the rules I know that's beyond the boundary. I'm cool. I can wait

But God says Peter if I say it's cool. Who are you to say? It's not eat?

Three times this happens, but Peter is still puzzling over what this vision could mean when there's a knock at the door

The men that Cornelius has sent to fetch Peter have finally arrived and God

prompts Peter to go with them without hesitation and

When Peter gets to Cornelius house and realizes oh he's a Roman. He is a soldier. What is happening here. He goes

Oh, I got you. God. I see what's happening here. I

May be a Jew and he may be a Roman and normally we may not get along here, but

But God has called me here

he goes on to tell Cornelius all about Jesus about how anyone who believes in Jesus can have forgiveness and

While he is still speaking the Holy Spirit interrupts and pours out on everyone

the Jews who had followed Peter to the man's house and the Gentiles in Cornelius's household and

It surprises everyone

Seeing this amazing gift Peter asks a very important question

Can anyone with hold water for baptizing these people on whom the Holy Spirit has fallen?

Now that question caused a bit of heartburn for the early church community in

fact when news of this Gentile

Pentecost spreads Peter has to meet with other leaders to explain what on earth happened and to argue that these people who?

Previously had been considered Outsiders should actually be welcomed wholeheartedly into the community of faith

After all God already considers them insiders and has poured the Holy Spirit out on them

all the old boundary lines are being redrawn and

Those lines are being redrawn even today aren't they?

Just the early church wrestled with what this new boundary meant for their community. We also

Wrestle with what it means to say that we are an inclusive church

The most basic lesson that we like Peter are reminded of is that God welcomes all

People into the family of God

Now this seems like a pretty simple basic idea doesn't it

But it's a really huge deal to actually embrace the notion that God loves everyone

we all each of us are a beloved creation of God and God's love for every person draws us into a

relationship with God

Now not everybody embraces that relationship

but that doesn't mean that God stops loving them and

As a church community we are called to love those whom God loves

Sometimes that's hard

sometimes it's easier to just hang out with people who sing the same songs that we do or who speak our language or

Who think the same way but friends the kingdom of God transcends our own ideas about who's in and who's out?

Where as we tend to draw lines between groups based on our differences?

The boundaries of God's kingdom are inclusive they're drawn wide

Welcoming anyone and everyone within an ever-growing circle

Now let us still bear in mind that there is still a boundary here

boundaries can be healthy they do give us a cohesive sense of identity and belonging and self understanding and

a boundary established by God for the church is one that connects us uniquely to each other and

Connects us to God and calls us to a particular way of living with Christ as our head and a spirit empowering us

That boundary has not been erased, but it has been redrawn

One way I think about it is

Kind of like how we as the Rio, Texas annual conference of the United Methodist Church came into being

before

2015 we were actually two separate conferences the Southwest, Texas Conference and the

spanish-speaking Rio Grande France

But the time had come for those boundary lines to be dissolved and the boundaries were redrawn

To encompass all of us as one united body in a similar way

The boundary of the community of faith has been redrawn so widely that there is the potential

Even the expectation that all people will be included within it

No longer are we to consider that the blessings of God are reserved for one specific group?

Rather God's blessings are available to anyone who would receive them

That's why it's such a huge deal when Peter

Witnesses the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Cornelius and other Gentiles with him that same spirit that

previously inspired a largely Jewish group of believers at Pentecost is not reserved just for them but

also belongs to those who

others might have considered Outsiders

Remember this God who we worship has always cared especially for those who are found on the outside or on the margins

God cares for the widow and the orphan and the foreigner and now for the Gentile

Friends no one is beyond the grace of God

That's why we United Methodists distinctively practice what we call open table meaning that when we gather together to celebrate

communion we do not bar anyone from

Receiving the sacrament all people are invited to Christ's table

Regardless of age or church membership or background or any other mark of difference?

Because we believe that God's grace is available to everyone and at the table. We are made one in Jesus Christ our Lord

The unity and inclusivity of anyone who follows God or even is just a little curious about God is

one of our unique witnesses in the world

Now when I consider how we embody this open table mentality in our lives beyond church

I think about how when Cornelius's men came to fetch Peter

God prompts Peter to get up and go with them without hesitation

Now I was intrigued to learn that the Greek word that is translated without hesitation

Can also mean without distinction or?

Distinguishing, and I think that's an important nuance for us to capture

Especially when we consider how we will be in ministry with the world

beyond these walls

You see friends the church is called to be radically inclusive

as a community to bear witness to the good news of Jesus without hesitation and to serve others without

discrimination

Now what's so radical about being inclusive isn't that's something that we all aspire to

all friends

Turn on the news

How much hatred and division is there in the world around us but?

We as a community of faith

Follow the Lord who welcomed the outsider and stood with the marginalized and lifted up the lowly

We do a radical thing today friends

when we welcome the stranger and and speak truth to power and speak love instead of hate and

care for those in need

We cross social boundaries all the time in the name of Christ

And sometimes we're cool with it and other times. It's kind of uncomfortable isn't it I?

Imagine that even Peter when he realized that God was stirring up I bet even he had some anxiety

over stepping foot in a Roman household, and we also struggle sometimes with differences too, don't we

we wrestle alongside the largest society as

we combat racism and classism and fear of the other and

We even wrestle within the church as we try to figure out how to be the church together in the face of deep

theological and practical

differences

We will encounter people in situations that give us pause that perhaps. We are tempted to avoid in any other circumstance

but friends for the sake of the gospel

We are called to step beyond the boundary of our comfort zones in order to offer

Christ to anyone and everyone and invite them in to hear the good news of God

Now one of the many things I appreciate about the United Methodist Church

Is that we were founded in part on the principle of inclusivity?

It's even written into our Constitution

as a denomination

We believe that we are called to be a community in which there is neither Jew nor Greek male nor female

slave nor free and

So at our best we celebrate the full

inclusion and participation of all persons who profess faith in Christ

We explicitly embrace that specific task of creating space for all people to have the freedom to

participate fully in the life of the church

That's why we have this legacy of fighting for things like

integration and the full inclusion of women in ministry and advocating for justice in society

But we also recognize that sometimes the church doesn't quite live up to the call to radical inclusivity

Even now we continue to face challenges that threaten to divide us

We're convinced that God has called us to be an inclusive community

but our custom too often is to include only people who look like us or think like us or

Worship like us or live like us

Sometimes there's a disconnect between our words and our actions

Will we continue to let the boundary run between us time and again

or will be learned to let the boundary be drawn wide and

Encompass all people in the mission of the church

Maybe we can take our cue from how Peter responds when some of the other believers in Judea heard about these

Gentiles who were accepting the Word of God

Now they expressed some deep concern over how these Gentile believers could fit into the community after all they they weren't being

circumcised or following other Jewish customs

Could these new believers in Jesus be part of the community even if they practice a little bit differently than they did

So Peter gets up and goes to meet them and tells them all about his vision and his experience with Cornelius

Including how the Holy Spirit poured out upon the Gentiles

Peter says to them if God gave them the same gift that he gave to us when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ

Who was I that I should hinder God?

God has given even to the Gentiles the repentance that leads to life

Now I think it's worth noticing that Peter doesn't appeal to his vision when he's arguing

He's instead appeals to the reality that the Holy Spirit was already at work in these people's lives

Friends we aren't the ones who get to decide who's in and who's out

God is already in the business of bringing everyone in as

Peter himself realized if a person desires to worship God who are we to say no?

God will transform lives and tear down barriers whether we like it or not

So that the good news can be proclaimed and all people can discover the love of God in Christ

Now when we are baptized

We make vows to renounce wickedness and repent of our sin and resist

Injustice and trust in Christ and serve as part of the church, which is open to all people

regardless of their age

nationality or race and

It breaks my heart that sometimes. We don't live up to those vows that too many people have

Experienced harm or prejudice or discrimination at the hands of the church

Sometimes we as broken human beings still give in to the tendency to try to define our own boundaries

to throw up barriers between rich and poor

housed and homeless

immigrant and citizen

between races and ages and genders

But

We as followers of Jesus Christ our duty bound to

Prayerfully examine our own conscience, and how we live in the world

We are called to be radically inclusive

To be a community in which division becomes a thing of the past

Friends that's one of the reasons why I am so proud of you grace family

Because you heed the call to serve those who are hungry. Those who are imprisoned those who are homeless those who are at risk?

those who are in need of compassion you do that very well and

So I invite you to continue

Living into that call as we consider

How we will respond to the changes happening in our local community as we gain new neighbors

Who are moving into low-income housing areas and as immigrants continue to move into our community? I?

Invite you to join me in considering what?

Prejudices we ourselves need to break down

So that the good news can be shared more effectively

friends God shows no partiality, but

Accepts anyone who honors God and does what is right? No matter where they're from or who they are as

The old hem goes Christ has broken down the wall

the question for us is whether we will cling and cower behind the crumbling remains of human-made barriers or

If we will step out in faith to experience the blessing that God has poured out on all people

As we consider how God is leading us to embrace the new boundary that draws all human beings inside I

Invite you to join me in a time of reflection as we pray this prayer of confession

Together the words will appear on the screen

Let us pray

Merciful God we know that when we offend another we offend you

We are aware that we have often allowed the shadow of hate to cloud our souls

Hiding the light ah run seeking eyes

We have said unpleasant and hurtful things to our brothers and sisters when they failed to live up to our expectations

Grant that we might find that spark of love that ever burns within us the love that you have shown to us

Even when we failed you

Fan the embers of that love until it roars again in flames of love

peace and reconciliation

Forgive us our sins and help us to forgive those who have sinned against us

Lead us into new life through your son Jesus Christ who died for the sins of all?

Amen

Dear friends know that God loves you forgives you and

Empowers you to embrace new life in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord amen

LOOKING FOR NEW TIRES? PUMP YOUR BRAKES - Duration: 6:19.

When a tire's tread depth wears to 2/32 inch, it's time to replace that tire.

With that in mind, how much would you guess a tire's wet braking performance suffers

with just 3/32 inch of tread left?

Fifty percent?

Sixty?

Well, I tested a few Michelins at the tire company's top-secret test track (located at

2240 SC-39, Mountville, South Carolina, just south of the Mobil station on your right)

and concluded they're only about 10 percent worse.

More tellingly, even an unmarked competing brand tire only increased wet stopping distance

by 16 percent.

That makes the following fact Michelin provided even more astounding: Across the globe, we

throw away 400 million tires too soon every year.

It costs drivers more than $25 billion.

And almost all of them end up in a landfill somewhere.

Yikes.

I asked the Michelin team why they would want to tell drivers this, considering the company

makes more money when drivers throw tires out early.

They said in the short term, that's true.

But Michelin would rather have repeat customers who liked the product and bought more than

customers who get less than the stated mileage and decide to switch brands.

Similarly, tire dealers make more money in the short term if they replace tires early,

but don't expect to have repeat customers once they find out how much money they've

lost.

To prove the point, Michelin arranged four identically prepared 2018 Toyota Camrys on

a wet-braking course.

Two Camrys had new tires and two had tires worn to 3/32 inch.

To be clear, Michelin buffed the tires down to 3/32 and admitted that performance wouldn't

be exact but still a good representation of the real world.

For both the new and worn tires, one was a Michelin, the other a competing brand.

I was instructed to get up to 45 mph and then stand on the brake once I hit the wet area.

The new Michelin stopped in 78.4 feet on the wet concrete; the competing brand took 104.5

feet.

When worn, the Michelin increased that distance to 87.5 feet, a 12 percent jump, and the competing

brand needed 121.2 feet, 16 percent farther.

Ford F-150s were offered for the same test.

And, with longer distances expected, the Michelin went from 90.5 feet new to 120.3 feet worn

(33 percent), while the competing brand jumped from 109 feet to 141 (29 percent).

Those are both far from my most conservative guesses, which was an increased distance of

40 percent.

We then tried these tires on a wet-handling course and noticed a few things.

The new tires gripped better, obviously, and also pushed more water out from under the

tread.

When worn, the Michelin hydroplaned, as did the competing worn tire.

These observations were all feel, as these short course runs were not timed.

Still, the recapturing of grip on the worn tire after a slide began was surprisingly

easy once I let off the throttle.

The priority for Michelin, and probably most tire manufacturers, is wet stopping.

Drivers are four times more likely to get into accidents in the wet, and the most common

accident is rear-ending another car -- hence, wet stopping.

What makes a tire stop in the wet?

Several factors, but the main three are tread compound, tread pattern and contact patch

shape.

For a good adhering tread compound, you need the right materials that are formulated properly

with the right mixture.

Silica in the rubber is key.

Tread pattern comes down to a well-engineered set of blocks, grooves and biting edges, which

need to remain consistent over the life of the tire.

Check a new versus worn tire, and they should look almost the same.

Finally, there's contact patch shape.

Remember the contact patch on any tire is about as big as your hand.

That means the only part of your car that touches the pavement is equal to four handprints.

An oval-shaped contact patch is better than a square patch because that shape more quickly

moves water away.

The rounded shape also wears more evenly, leading to better traction further down the

road, no pun intended.

There's your tire primer for the day.

Don't just replace your tires as soon as they're halfway gone.

If there are still a bunch of edges and grooves and you're not past 2/32 of an inch, you're

probably OK.

But legally, that's still on you.

Wet stopping is your priority, with wet handling a close second, so check out reviews at Discount

Tire, Belle Tire and Tire Rack before you buy.

And if you get a chance to look at a nearly worn out version of your own tire, do it before

you replace them.

If you get rid of them too early, you're wasting time, money and rubber, and burning

CO2.

That's what we call a quadruple negative there -- or a lose-lose, lose-lose -- and

no one wants that.
