California Trust Mediation | What Was Your Life About? - Duration: 6:50.
I'm Mike Hackard.
I lead the law firm, Hackard Law, in our mission to represent clients in estate, trust and
elder financial abuse litigation.
This mission often leads to mediation, sometimes shortly into the process and sometimes close
to trial.
Whenever mediation occurs it is usually a day-long event – an event that often includes
a "hard day's night."
The process involves a neutral mediator that helps effectuate negotiation between the attorneys
for estates, trusts, heirs, and beneficiaries.
Clients are deeply involved in the process and are understandably swept with emotion
as offers and counter-offers come in.
It is easy to forget the spirit of what the case is really about – a decedent's life
and their wishes to benefit their family, heirs and beneficiaries.
We often start off, much like prizefighters, when the mediator enters the room and says
in so many words "Let's have a clean fight, touch hands, back to your corners" etc.
We may go back to our respective rooms and wait for more instruction.
It is so easy for us as advocates to think of ourselves like prizefighters – aggressively
seeking a win or knockout blow.
So easy – and in many circumstances - so wrong.
Successful mediators know this – they help parties and their attorneys calm down and
move toward a compromise.
There is another aspect of mediation that is long forgotten or given short shrift.
If the decedent could somehow miraculously visit us, we might ask him "What was your
life about?"
Few would say that it was to create rancor and consternation between people that he loved
on earth.
This truth has been brought home to me in a few recent mediations – mediations subject
to confidentiality agreements – so I cannot reference their specifics.
That said, I'll share their spirit- a spirit that strengthened as they went forward.
The mediator comes in.
We are seated with our clients.
Our room is peopled with those who are challenging the estate or trust.
The mediator wants to hear about the decedent – she doesn't want to argue law – she
wants to know the person that this case is about.
One daughter starts –
"He was a great father - a loving father, husband, brother and son.
He ran his own business – was fair to his employees and customers – and set high standards
for himself and others.
His life was one of caring – he wouldn't raise rents on his tenants – he viewed them
as people and not cash flow.
He contributed to our educations and was forever faithful to our mom.
He was lost when she died.
He had Alzheimer's – it was tragic – he forgot our names – and lost his sense of
time and place.
His last days were not like him – he was isolated by his caregiver and somehow convinced
that the caregiver was the only one who cared.
He changed an estate plan that was 30 years in place during the last two months of his
life.
The caregiver got everything.
We didn't even learn that he died until two days later."
She breaks down.
A nephew begins.
"He was at my high school graduation.
He taught me to fish.
We sailed together.
He would drive me by a duplex that he owned and say that he wanted it to be mine after
he died.
I told him that wasn't necessary.
He insisted.
He always remembered my birthday and really helped when my own dad died."
The stories went on – stories of affection, generosity and personal connection.
The mediator was with us an hour.
The mediator visited the caregiver's room.
The decedent helped her and helped her family.
He wanted to change his estate plan because his family "abandoned" him.
He knew what he wanted and he wanted to take care of her.
The story went on.
She is convinced of her position.
The mediator returns.
This time the lawyers talk more.
We have medical records and we have a neurologist's report.
The decedent had Alzheimer's disease – a disease in this case easily documented.
At the time he amended his trust, he couldn't drive, he could barely see and he didn't
really remember who his relatives were.
In essence, the scourge of Alzheimer's, grief, loneliness and diminished cognition
had done its sad work.
The mediator and the lawyers now know him – the decedent – a man that they'd never
met.
A man who for the lawyers when they began their tasks was just a financial vehicle.
He was bloodless.
We now knew he was more.
He was caring, and if we were really to serve him, we needed to act as human beings – not
just as lawyers.
The mediation went on.
Somehow the other side got humanized – yes, we felt there was wrongdoing – and the other
side felt deserving.
How could the gap be bridged?
Moving on hours later – the gap was bridged – all chose peace and resolution over uncertainty
and continued institutionalized rancor prescribed by the rules of court and demands of litigation.
We left that night with an agreement and even more than that a sense that a man who had
been generous in life was not forgotten in the tumult of a financial tug of war.
Hackard Law represents clients is substantial cases where we believe that we can make a
significant difference and there is a party who can be made accountable for financial
wrongdoing.
We litigate in California's major urban areas.
This year, 2019, we see an increasing focus on California's Bay Area – Alameda, Santa
Clara, Contra Costa, San Mateo and San Francisco Counties.
If you would like to speak with us about your case call us at Hackard Law (916) 313-3030.
We'll be happy to hear from you.
Thank you.

The Cheapest Flight Booking Company - Here's What We Recommend Instead - Duration: 5:09.
what's up everybody Larry Porter here back with majestic travel and in today's
video we're gonna be talking about the cheapest flight booking company so if
you're looking for ways to get a cheap flight I want to share with you from my
experience some of the cheapest companies alright we'll be right back
all right welcome back so are we talking about cheap flights
okay what's the cheapest flight booking company so me being a travel agent me
and you make you bars being travel agents here's some of our experiences on
where we found most of the cheap flights from okay as I share with you something
with some of these companies you know the rates may change so but I just want
to share with you the prices that we have experienced and what we found the
cheapest deal is that so the first tip I want to share with you a few flying
somewhere or you just try to book a flight or you go on a vacation package
you will find that most flights are cheap through booking a vacation package
okay there's a couple of sites that we go through callbacks
it's called vacation SS and vacation Express cheap flights are on those sites
for dirt cheap due to the fact that they're occluded within a package okay
now if you're just looking for a cheap flight by itself for my experience this
is just our opinion from my experience we did a lot of research on Allegiant
okay the Legion has cheap flights okay and they're very very affordable not
elite it's not available in most and certain so I should say certain states
so you have to check and see if the Legion is available in your state okay
now another one else I want to talk about Southwest now Southwest may appear
to be higher when it comes to ticket wise but they got huge benefits due to
the fact that you can have to worry about paying for your your luggage okay
you can carry on so many for free okay so it's a good thing about software
Southwest has good benefits of that now the number one of them all that were I
recommend is charter flights now those have been some of the cheapest ones that
I found so far as well is if you're doing a vacation package it has a very
very low deposit okay you can have a vacation package plus flight
with just $100 deposit just because you did a private charter flights so that's
an option you may want to look into doing charter flags
trying to fly some huge right now they're blowing up really a big bigger
than ever before everybody's starting to jump on it but charter flights probably
may be your best route for getting involved with getting cheap flights so
spirit spirit has a decent flight opportunities as well some of these
suppliers that I may be mentioning you're gonna have to go through a travel
agent on some of them ok if you're not a travel agent you won't have access to
these suppliers now you as a consumer you mostly would have access to our
online booking sites or through a major airline directly but to get some of
these deals I'm talking about you can most likely need to go through a travel
agent so if you don't have a travel agent get with me and we can we can
really help you out in that area but the biggest way to save guys I'm gonna share
this with you the biggest way to save on flights is to become a travel agent and
I'm not pitching this out here just to get you get business with you that's not
what this is about however if you really want to save money
and get a commission back on your vacation special you're going somewhere
it's a vacation package you can get money back from your vacation which
would be a huge savings on your flight your whole package and everything
because you get the Commission back instead of going directly through our
airline or directly to a a booking site where you can book your vacation why not
book your vacation and get the Commission back because think about it
when you're looking forward for yourself and you know how travel agent you
throwing mine in the way because the Commission is already written to the
price anyway somebody to give me and most like it goes back to the company so
why not you become their travel agent and get the money back so that's one of
the cheapest ways I can see see vacating and flying by being a travel agent okay
or going through a travel agent okay so hope you find value from this video if
you did give us a thumbs up subscribe to our YouTube channel and
and leave a comment if you have any questions alright we will see you on the
next video be blessed and happy travelling The Cheapest Flight Booking Company

What Should You Do if You Need Money Now? 401k Loans, Credit Cards, and Selling Investments - Duration: 9:05.
Robert Brokamp: What should you do once it's gone? What if you don't have any more cash in the bank?
I'm going to lay out a few options and give the pros and cons, and depending on your situation,
one might be better than the other. The first one is to sell investments in regular taxable accounts.
If you have a regular brokerage account and you own stocks, just sell those.
The pros are it's pretty easy and pretty liquid. You'll get the cash pretty soon.
The market is down somewhat. Maybe it's a good time to do some tax loss harvesting.
You can sell a stock that is less than what you paid for it and wait 30 days to buy it back.
If you don't have the money, don't buy it back, but at least that will reduce your tax bill this year. That's a pro.
It's pretty easy to get that money.
The con is ideally you bought that investment as
a long-term investment and now you're going to have to sell it.
The market is down and that's one of the reasons why you want an emergency fund -- you're not
forced to sell stocks when they're down.
Plus, if you are selling at a gain you're going to owe taxes in a year.
If you sell an investment with a big capital gain, make sure you have a plan for paying those taxes.
You don't want to forget about it and then be surprised come April 15th, 2020.
Another option, of course, is credit cards.
Credit cards are easy because everyone takes them and if you are a federal employee and
you do expect to get your money back [they just passed a bill that says once people do
go back to work they will get their pay], a credit card is a good source of short-term money.
You just have to make sure you pay the bill. Maybe get some points for airline miles.
The cons are of all the debt you could owe, this has got the higher interest rate.
In December of last year the Fed raised interest rates.
Despite that, rates across the board in everything from Treasuries to mortgages went down with
one exception -- credit cards.
Credit card rates went up and they're now at all-time highs, according to CreditCards.com.
Alison Southwick: Really?
Brokamp: Yes, at least as long as they've been tracking it.
That's obviously the reason you want to avoid credit cards.
It is a short-term bridge, but it is not a long-term solution.
Another option is home equity, and for most people that's a home equity line of credit.
The pro is if you've got the equity you probably can get it.
There's some set-up costs, a credit check, and things like that, but it's usually not a big deal.
The interest rate will be much lower than what you pay on a credit card.
The con is you're using your house as collateral, which is always a tricky thing.
Also, due to the new tax law that was passed a year ago, the interest on a home equity loan
is no longer deductible unless you use it to improve your house.
If you're using it to cover short-term bills, that interest is no longer deductible.
I'm not a big fan of home equity lines of credit, but it's available.
Another option is to borrow from your employer-sponsored
retirement account -- your 401(k), your 403(b),
or in the case of federal employees, the thrift savings plan known as the TSP.
The pros are that it's pretty easy.
Even though it's called a loan, you're really just getting your own money, so there's no credit check.
You don't have to get a credit approval. Southwick: Rick and I know all about a 401(k) loan.
Brokamp: So you know how easy it is.
Southwick: It was so easy that when I asked Rick about
any aspect of the process, he was like, "I don't remember.
It must have been really easy because I don't remember."
Brokamp: It is easy. You're paying the interest to yourself and not to a bank.
Those are the pros.
The most you can borrow is $50,000 or half of your vested balance, whichever is less.
The cons are that money gets taken out of the market, so if the market takes off in
the course of this loan you'll miss out on that.
Also, if you don't pay off the loan, it's considered a distribution and you'll pay taxes
and penalties if you're not 59 and a half. Generally you have five years to do it.
Again, it's a fine short-term solution, but you have to have a plan to pay it back because
if you don't, not only will you pay the tax and the penalties, but you're going to miss out
on the future growth of what that money could have provided you if it were left alone in your 401(k).
I should say there recently was a bill proposed to make it easier for federal employees to
access the money in their TSP.
I haven't followed the details, yet, but know that that's also on the horizon for you folks.
Another option is your other retirement accounts like an IRA.
You can always access that money anytime.
Interestingly, if you take that money out and get it back in within 60 days, it's like
you never did anything.
While you legally cannot borrow money from an IRA, people refer to this as the "IRA loan." Take it out.
You've just got to make sure you get it back within 60 days.
Just a note of caution.
This is considered a rollover and there are some rules about rollovers, including a limit
to only one every 12 months.
So if you've already done it once and you try it again, it's considered a distribution.
You won't be able to put the money back in the IRA and you may owe taxes and penalties.
Make sure you learn all about the ins and outs before trying this strategy.
If you're taking money out of a Roth IRA and you don't get the money back in, the contribution
you put in will still be tax and penalty-free.
It's any growth you took out on which you'll pay taxes and penalties if you're not 59 and a half.
A traditional IRA -- if you take it out and don't get it back in you're going to pay taxes and penalties.
The negative there is the same as the 401(k).
If you don't pay it back you'll miss out on all that growth and your retirement will be compromised.
Southwick: Or maybe the stock market tanks.
Brokamp: That's true.
Southwick: Some people might time it very well, so let's try to look on the bright side.
Brokamp: That's right. Someone in this studio, in fact.
My last option is to borrow from family and friends.
If you are in a family where that's fine, it's not embarrassing, and it won't cause
any friction with folks, it's a perfectly good solution.
When I bought my first house it involved borrowing money from my dad who,
in the end, said, "You know what? Don't pay it back.
You just won't inherit as much when I eventually die."
I was happy with that. That's a great option if you can do it.
The cons of it are it can cause troubles.
Southwick: Borrowing money always can be difficult with family in keeping things fair.
Brokamp: And if you're not in a position of being able to pay it back, that causes problems.
Southwick: Is that Bro's last resort? Brokamp: It depends.
If you have a family where people are well off and have established, "If you're ever
in trouble I'm here to help you out," I think that's the first resort.
It's probably an interest-free loan and you don't have to go through all the other hassles.
Southwick: No paperwork. Brokamp: It just depends on your situation.
There you have it.
Building an emergency fund is the most boring of financial planning advice ever because
sitting on a big pile of cash just isn't very exciting; but right now there are hundreds
of thousands if not millions of Americans who either wish they had built an emergency fund
or are very happy they did.
Regardless of your situation, having one I think is really the foundation of a good, solid financial plan.
Southwick: And what's your advice for those who are furloughed and who will eventually get back pay?
They will eventually come into a big pile of money...
Brokamp: Right. Southwick: Do you have any advice for that?
Brokamp: Yes. Obviously if you've borrowed any money to do this...
Southwick: Pay it back! Brokamp: Pay it back.
If you've stopped contributing to your IRAs, 529s, or something like that get back on that track.
I think there could be a silver lining to this.
If you go without a paycheck for a while, it really forces you to prioritize your budget
and I think it's very possible you eliminate expenses that you thought were important and
then you realize you don't really need that.
Once you're back on a firmer footing, maybe you don't need cable anymore.
Maybe you didn't need a particular service.
Maybe you didn't need the gym membership like you thought you did.
But then once you get that cash don't go nuts.
Don't think now that you've got this big check you're going on vacation or anything like that.
Rule No. 1 is to build up that emergency fund.
Southwick: So start listening to this podcast episode all over again. Just rewind. It's a virtuous circle.

What's osu!? (review/summary of the game) - Duration: 11:24.
Before I move on to the actual review, I just wanted to say that this review is suitable
both for people who have never played the game, for people who are just getting into
it and for more experienced players.
I will not be delving into any specific part of the game, this is an review that will briefly
describe the game and tie in my thoughts and experiences with it.
Now that I explained what exactly you are about to watch, we can move on to the video.
Enjoy!
You know that time when your friends ask you "hey what games do you play" and you don't know what to say.
Should you lie and go with a generic answers like "I play counter-strike and League"
or some other mainstream game?
Or should you answer honestly and deal with the potential judgement of playing a "weeb game".
People outside of the osu community don't really know what osu is, and when they go
ahead and google it or you show them, it will most likely have an anime map in the background
and they'd just label osu as a weeb game and not think about it again.
Well, you can show them this video which will hopefully clarify everything and maybe even
get them into the game!
What is osu?
osu! is a free game developed in by Dean Herbert, also known as Peppy, a game developer from
Australia and is based on the Nintendo game called "Osu Tatakae Ounendan", where you
use the Nintendo DS touchscreen to tap circles and sliders to the beat of the song.
The more accurate you were, the more points you got.
Osu was basically a PC port of the game with the capability for users to create their own
maps using the built-in editor which has been around since it's release back in 2007,
and user-made skins that changed how the game looked were introduced around the beginning of 2009.
The beginning of osu
At the beginning osu was a one man project
made by Dean, made from passion for developing and the love for the original DS game.
Later on he would create the "osu!Team"
that ranged from teams such as global moderations team, quality assurance team and
the developers team which included like-minded people that shared the same passion for osu!
How the game works
The game functions on the same principle as osu tatakae ounendan, but now with being able to use both your mouse and keyboard for aiming
and clicking respectively the difficulty of the maps would over time be increased as the
demand from the community for harder stuff increased.
So we eventually went from this:
to this:
People have also found other alternative ways to play osu and some of those ways went
mainstream, like playing osu with a drawing tablet for aiming instead of the mouse, and
nowadays a lot of people play with a tablet instead of a mouse!
Funny story, at the beginning osu was only played with the mouse, you would aim with
the mouse and use the mouse buttons to click, but after a forum suggestion the keys "Z"
and "X" were set as the default keyboard keys for clicking.
Other ways of playing osu that may not be as popular but still are cool to look at are:
Mouse only (like Peppy originally intended the game to be)
Tap-X (tapping with the tablet and the keyboard if necessary)
touchscreen
trackball
trackpad
Using a laser and a camera to track….. what?
Well, the community always has some cool stuff to show and new creative ways to play the game, that's for sure.
The game includes more than one mode, within osu you will also find Mania, which is like
a osu version of stepmania, Taiko, which is a game based off of Taiko no Tatsujin and
Catch The Beat, osu's only completely original gamemode where you catch the fruit that is
falling to the rhythm of the music.
I will only be talking about the standard mode since that's what I play.
Also, the game is bound to get completely re-coded with the project Lazer.
Project Lazer is a complete rework of the game, written from the ground up by Peppy
and his years of experience with the original osu client and now he has a talented osu!dev
team to help him out with it.
Lazer aims to polish all issues that the old osu client has and just remake the entire
game and set itself up for years and years of future updates.
Lazer will also allow for people to make completely new custom game modes for the game along with
a lot of new features that couldn't be implemented in the current client.
The Game
Like all rhythm games, osu is easy to learn,
but hard to master.
The game is super competitive and has a ranked ladder that is defined by the PP system, and
the amount of PP that you have determines your rank on the ladder.
The game on release used to rank you by the amount of ranked score, which was the amount
of points you gained on every map added together, after that, the community got the ppv1, made
by Tom94, which aimed to represent the skill of the players more accurately.
After Tom joined the osu!team, he put osu!tp in place, which split the pp in 3 parts, speed, aim and accuracy.
A few months after osu!tp was in use, Tom introduced a whole new system that is ppv2
and it used a single number instead of 3 different numbers and that system is still being used
to this day, although some aspect have been changed recently and more changes are to be made.
How do you gain PP?
PP is gained every time you play a map and it has its own formula that determines the
"weight" of the gained PP.
For example, your top play is 301pp and since it's your top play it is weighed for 100%
of it's value, while your second play is 298 and it's weighed approx.
5% less, therefore we have terms like "raw" pp and "net" pp, net standing for PP gained
after the weight calculations and raw standing for the amount of PP gained before calculations.
The system is not perfect and it most likely ever won't be, but it's what we have right now.
Music
osu offers a wide variety of music for you
to enjoy, from anime song openings, japanese music in general, generic EDM, video game
music etc., there is always something for everyone to enjoy.
You can download all the maps with the music on the osu website or in-game if you shell
out for osu!supporter which is $4/mo, which allows you to change the osu main menu background,
has your name highlighted in bright yellow when you chat in-game, lets you upload more
maps to the website at once, lets you view country and friend leaderboards but most importantly
gives you access to osu!direct, which gives you a whole menu to download maps without
having to leave the game.
Purchasing osu!supporter is completely optional and the game can be entirely played without
it, but the features it grants you are really worth it for the money and you get to support
a great dev.
Speaking of uploading more maps, you may choose to learn how to map and become a part of the
mapping community, and strive to have your maps either ranked or loved and played by
hundreds or thousands of players.
You can map whatever song you want, so you could bring a whole new genre to the community
and find people who like the same music that you do, something that mappers like pishifat
and mazzerin (to name a few) did.
The community
Before I start off this segment we need to be real for a second.
This game is hard since it's not really intuitive.
The difficulty curve is huge and at the start you won't know what's going on or how
to play, and you will most likely get really frustrated playing.
But you must persevere through that, keep practicing and you'll get the hang of it.
This game has so much to offer, you will listen to music you never knew existed, you will
talk to people from all over the world, and quite frankly, osu can become more than just a game.
If you decide to stick around and figure out how the game works you will most likely find
yourself spending a lot of time on osu, whether it'd be playing single or multiplayer or
just socializing in the vast sub communities of osu.
If you really love music you will find yourself playing maps just for the music, and osu can
be a whole new experience of how you perceive and enjoy music.
If you enjoy tapping your fingers to the beat of a song you are listening to, you will feel
this when playing osu.
If you are really competitive, osu has a lot to offer as well.
When I started playing the game, I spent my first few hours getting the hang of the basics
and playing the same map over and over again, trying to beat my previous score and trying to get the FC.
I loved seeing the numbers go up, my rank go up every time I played a map or when I
beat my best score.
It's really addictive.
However, I do not recommend going down the "farmer" route, since that will really
get you burned out from the game and you just won't enjoy the game as much.
If you don't know what a "farmer" is, I'll give a brief explanation:
A farmer is someone who only plays maps that are over weighted (give more PP then they should) and
abuses the PP system in their favor in order to gain ranks and PP as fast as possible.
Try to enjoy the game and the music, I've found myself enjoying the game the most when
I didn't play to gain PP, but rather just playing what song I felt like listening to
at the moment and immersing myself in the map.
Just like the famous player ruruchi once said, "please enjoy game".
Now let's get to the community.
Behind the game there is a huge community of players who may be weird or questionable
at times, but it's a tight knit community and being a part of it feels amazing.
The community is somewhat split amongst sub-communities, for example there's a community of #1 farmers
(people who farm #1 scores on easy/normal maps), country specific communities and so
on but whatever osu sub-community you go to, you will find friendly individuals who are
down to chat with you about stuff both inside and outside of the game.
Although the community is not serious and loves to meme most of the time, sometimes
there are serious discussions regarding the future of osu or when there needs to be a
game changing proposal.
So yeah, that has been my review of osu!
This game has been one of the most addicting games I've ever played and it never fails
to deliver an entertaining experience or at least a time waster while jamming out to some
of my favorite music, and I definitively recommend you check it out if you don't already play it.
I'll link the game in the description as long as some good tutorials on how to play
and how to make, by pishifat and bubbleman.
But anyways, thanks for watching
and I hope you stay tuned for more!

What is Millennialism? (Part 1/3 - Pre-Millennialism) - Duration: 4:03.
I think the best and quickest way for us to approach this is to simply compare and contrast
the 3 primary competing theologies of Millennialism, which are called:
1) Amillennialism, Post- Millennialism, and Pre-Millennialism.
There are variations of each of these, and I haven't time to
go into all them; but in the end these 3 together represent almost all of Christianity.
And remember, depending on which of these one accepts, it will have a substantial effect
on how one interprets the Book of Daniel (I am
not advocating for or against any of these at the moment).
Further, various denominations will modify some aspects of these doctrines to suit
them so I'm only giving you representative definitions and not absolute
definitions.
Pre-Millennialism is usually thought of today as automatically part of another part of
Systematic Theology called Dispensationalism.
This doctrine says that we are to interpret the
Scriptures literally.
Thus all promises made to David and to Abraham under the Old Covenant
will be fulfilled literally in a future 1,000 year age, usually called the Millennial Kingdom.
However included in this doctrine is that God has two plans of redemption: Plan A is
for Israel and the Jewish people, and Plan B is for gentiles
and the church.
Thus when there is a Rapture of Believers off this earth, it will be ONLY
of the gentile church and it will occur at the beginning
of a 7 year period of time called the Tribulation.
Therefore the Tribulation period is a future time to us, and is essentially a time for
God to deal with Israel and the Jewish people, since the
church will have been removed.
After the end of the 7 year Tribulation Christ will come, and those Jews who are
converted to Christianity will be allowed to live in the Millennial Kingdom.
The raptured gentile church will return in glorified bodies and rule with Christ during
that 1,000 year period.
During the Millennium there will be a physical Temple, the Law (or something like it)
will again be enforce, and at the end of the 1,000 years will be a great judgment when
Satan and all who follow him will be cast into the Lake of Fire.
Immediately thereafter the current earth and heaven (meaning the universe) will be destroyed
and a new heaven and earth will be created from the elements.
This view is expressed by the Scofield and Ryrie Bibles, and was made popular by Hal
Lindsey and more recently Tim LaHaye in his Left Behind series.
Calvary Chapel and the Southern Baptist Convention generally ascribe to this doctrine and
Dallas Theological Seminary is the leading dispensational Pre-millennial institution.
Writers like Chuck Swindoll, Charles Stanley and Jack Van Impe
also maintain this viewpoint of theology.

What's Ur Thing: Sam Richardson Creates His Own Anime And Dishes On His New Series "Champaign Ill" - Duration: 13:38.
Your thing is anime.
There's a new show called "My Hero Academia".
Every time you say a title of one of these shows you smirk
on how ridiculous it sounds.
Cause, I know it is! I really know it is!
[laughter]
Welcome to "What's Ur Thing?"
This is where I talk to celebrities about their things.
The things they're obsessed about.
Their hobbies, their passions. Today's guest,
Sam Richardson.
The star of "Veep", "Detroiters", and the new show,
"Champagne ILL".
And he's a great comedian and a fantastic improviser
from Detroit. We're going to get to his thing, which is anime
and a whole bunch of other shit right now.
♪♪
Welcome to the show, ladies and gentlemen.
Today's guest is responsible for some of
the funniest television in the last 10 years.
I need everyone to give a round of applause to Sam...
Sam Richardson. Sam Richardson.
[cheering]
Thank you.
What?
I love your show, "Veep".
[laughter]
I'm kidding.
You know I'm kidding, right?
No, I knew.
I'm a big fan of yours, Sam.
Thank you for being here.
Thanks for having me, man.
Really appreciate it.
Now, this show's about your thing,
but now your thing is anime. Which is?
Animated television.
Which is, I think, a little disturbing.
Well, there's a difference between anime and Hentai.
Right, I was just thinking that.
And many people get into one because of the other.
Right.
Because you're like, "Oh, I'm watching these animated
characters fight. I'm gonna watch them have sex".
Well, now, now, I'm interested, Sam.
Why don't we have them like sit around
and just talk to each other?
Hold on.
Save that thought.
I want to talk about your latest projects first.
First, "Champagne ILL".
Yeah.
What is this? This is a show on Youtube?
On Youtube Premium.
"Champagne ILL" stars me, Adam Pally,
it has Jay Pharoah in it.
It's about two members of an entourage.
Two crew members of an entourage
who all of a sudden have to deal with
losing that world.
It's like "Entourage" after the fact.
Right.
So these guys have to come back home to their
home town and pick up life where they left
off after they left for 15 years.
Something happens where they don't
live that entourage life anymore.
Exactly. Something happens.
Now, are you making fun of hip hop in this show?
Because, you know, I come from hip hop.
No, it certainly is not making fun of hip hop.
It's a celebration, in fact.
Because like it takes place in the world of,
you know, what if you are part of this world,
but then like that world is removed from you.
Right, unexpectedly.
Unexpectedly.
And so like you're no longer surrounded by those people
and the things that you like.
And then they move back to a small town, and the things
that you took for granted are now very strange
to everyone else around you.
Because you also have a show called "Detroiters".
Yes.
And that's why I wore this jacket.
Oh, yes.
No, it's actually a disrespectful thing
I'm about to say.
Ok.
I don't want too much of your Detroit-ness getting on me,
so I wore protective layer.
You see what I'm saying?
I see.
Cause, I've been there a couple times
and I got a little nervous.
Yeah.
I got a little scared.
You weren't tough enough?
And I know something about towns that have numbers. K?
What direction of number does it get whiter?
Is it higher up or is it the lower numbers?
It is higher up.
Higher.
The higher up you go, when you get to like.
22 mile?
22 mile, good luck.
[laughter]
And then is your role in "Veep"
your breakout role, you think?
I think so.
That's where I first saw you.
And you're a show stealer.
I appreciate that.
From some very talented people.
How much do you compare what
you did on Veep to what we like to call,
today's actual government.
You notice the significance?
There is a shocking amount of parallels.
It's really scary.
It really is scary.
Because what it's done for comedic effect
on the show is done for actual governing in real life.
Actual legislation.
We're in trouble!
It's bad, man.
It really is. It really is.
How's Julia? She's cool?
Julia is like legitimately the best person.
Does she talk about "Seinfeld" a lot?
She was on "Seinfeld".
She was on "Seinfeld".
A very underrated show.
Unknown.
You watch "Seinfeld"?
I love "Seinfeld".
You watch "Martin"?
Oh, of course.
Both?
"Martin" took place in Detroit. Ha!
Oh, I didn't know that.
That's right. What's up, what's up, what's up?
That's probably why I didn't like it.
You didn't like Martin?
Boo this man!
[crowd boos]
BOO!
Oh, stop it.
BOOO!
That's only the black people booing.
White people don't even know what "Martin" is.
Martin Scorsese?
No, there's a thing.
I know you're a true comedy connoisseur
if you like Martin AND Seinfeld.
I hear you're an improviser.
Yes.
I don't know if you know this about me, Sam,
but I am one of the best.
Oh.
Where did you study the improvs?
I studied improv at Second City in Detroit.
DETROIT! City!
And then I worked at Second City in Detroit
and then moved to Chicago to work on the main stage
at Second City.
See, I'm a UCB guy.
Oh yeah.
So you and I are in an improv family.
You live with mom. I live with dad.
Exactly, exactly.
We meet for Christmas.
We meet for Christmas.
But I don't fuck with you like that.
I understand. I see Mom's got a boyfriend around too.
[laughter]
Your partner on your show, "Champagne ILL",
that's Adam Pally.
Adam Pally, yes.
That's a UCB guy.
He's a UCB cat.
Is that alright?
Are you guys allowed to mix like that?
No, no, there's a partnership between the two.
You know, it's like Danny Glover and...
Donald Glover?
Donald Glover.
When they finally came together to make
"The Glovers" on Fox.
What happens when Danny Glover?
[laughter]
And Crispin Glover shows up?
The reason why I'm talking about this so much is
because improv is my thing.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I know the show's "What's Ur Thing?"
We're going to get to your cartoons in a second.
[laughter]
Anime!
Thank you so much for being here today on
"What's Ur Thing?"
Thanks for having me, sir.
My show is about people that excel in one thing
must have a hobby or an obsession or something
they do on the side that they love to do.
Yours is anime.
I love anime.
Break it down to me.
What is anime?
Anime is Japanese animation.
And you love this?
I love it.
Do you like it more than regular cartoons or American cartoons?
Like, I mean, I grew up watching things like "Thundercats"
and that holds like a nostalgic part of my.
Who's the black Thundercat?
Panthro.
No, he was purple.
He was purple.
Racist!
Oh, but Earle Hyman Jr., who was the grandpa on
"The Cosby Show" is the voice of Panthro.
So, there's different types of anime.
There's different types of anime.
And what I like about anime is honestly,
about animation in general, it's the biggest ideas,
but they can be drawn so you can like see them.
Like they changed physics in a way that you could
never do in real life.
Okay.
You know.
That's what I like about all animation.
There doesn't need to be a budget.
You can have a show about five robot lions that
form a giant robot.
You don't have to worry about how it's going to get made.
Exactly.
You can just do it.
So fantasy is much easier to come to life in
the anime world.
Exactly.
At what kind of anime are you into?
I'm into action anime and like action comedy ones.
Like when one show I've been watching right now.
It's an old one, but it's, it's called "One Piece."
Oof yes.
My research shows that you've watched 600 episodes.
Out of like about 800 in about four months.
It's about a band of pirates.
And they eat these things called devil fruits and it
gives them powers.
And Monkey D. Luffy wants to be the king of the pirates.
It's very good.
[laughter]
Is there like a stigma to being into anime?
There is entirely!
Super nerd.
Also, I only watch them in Japanese because the
rhythm and the acting in Japanese is always so much
better than like the american translation.
Really?
Anime is so amazing with its timing.
Like both action timing and like its comedic timing.
And like there's something lost in translation every time.
But it's written in subtitles.
Oh, you read the subtitles.
But then like once you watch it enough, not that
I'm saying like, "Watch enough and you'll learn Japanese!"
No, it's not that.
But you can start to get the rhythm of it, you know.
And you start to recognize phrases and stuff like that.
So you'd rather that than the dubbed version where
they put the american voice.
They got Subs Vs Dubs.
It's like an anime war.
You know, somebody like insist on subs!
Some people insist on dubs.
I'm subs all the way.
No dubs, no dubs.
So that's like the gang violence.
That's the gang violence in anime world.
Dubs or Subs, huh?
Uh huh.
Are these like seasons?
Uh, yeah.
There's like seasons.
Like there's a new show called "My Hero Academia",
which is like now just got released in the states and
it's like, now it's like very...it's like maybe the
most popular new show.
And you was already on it.
I was already on it.
Cause I'm, you know, I'm on it.
I'll be honest with you, Sam, every time you say a
title of one of these shows you smirk on how
ridiculous it sounds.
Cause I know it is.
I really know it is.
There's "One Punch Man".
That's a popular one.
What?
"One Punch Man!"
Huh?
I thought I just heard that, or was the my own echo?
What's "One Punch Man"?
[laughter]
"One Punch Man" is the story of Saitama,
who one day decided to be a superhero.
And now he's depressed because every fight he gets
in he can win in one punch and he's looking for a challenge.
Like it's a comedy.
Right.
So, no matter what challenges, one punch and it's over.
He's like depressed because he can't.
Yeah, sorry, I hear all the vaginas in the room
just drying up.
I don't know if you noticed.
You can hear that?
[laughter]
You might be an anime character.
That's my power?
Exactly.
Doink!
[shriveling sound]
[laughter]
So you're going to create an anime story right now.
Okay.
So, I'm going to show you some stock anime.
Okay.
Some stock anime.
And you give me the name, description, the start.
And I'm making these up as I see them?
Yeah, the trailer of what the anime show would be.
Ani-make This Up!
Okay.
This show is called "Wolfsbane".
Yeah, that's Wolfsbane.
Lutama was born from a wolf, but he's a human and
is now trying to incorporate himself into
American or Japanese society as a big time executive.
Right.
At a cracker factory.
Okay and the "Wolfsbane" is the show?
"Wolfsbane" cause he still has wolf tendencies.
Right.
But wolves don't like crackers.
How is he going to sell them?
"Wolfsbane."
What about these guys?
Oh, these guys.
So these were his cousins Bing Li and Bing Lo.
So they were, they were born as wolves,
but they're wearing human costumes because that's
how they get into the city, but they can't help
but act like wolves because they are wolves.
Ohhhh.
Alright.
That is Mr. Fiddle's and that is his boss.
[laughter]
Mr. Fiddle's is his boss?
And it is a cat.
Not really a big character on the show.
Just once in a while.
Every now and then it's like "Mr Fiddles is coming"
and like a cat walks by and everybody's like, "Oh shit."
Then it gets this, this feels evil.
This feels evil.
Oh crap.
That's Genghis Vaughn.
Genghis Vaughn is his hairstylist, but he has a
gun that shoots hair and so he shoots hairstyles on him.
Right.
But they are always a little bit bad.
The hairstyle.
The hairstyles.
Okay, last one.
Who are these guys?
Oh man.
Come on.
These are the page boys of the office.
Right.
Will and Bill.
Right.
They....
Oh, I know these guys!
You know Will and Bill?
These are the guys, they watched too many
Clint Eastwood westerns.
Uh huh.
And they try to, uh, bring western life into the office.
Into the office with hilarious results.
[laughter]
One episode they brought a gun into the office and
they had to evacuate the building.
Yeah.
But not the main guy cause he thought he was
getting a haircut.
Exactly.
And he got shot.
Remember that time he got shot?
He got shot!
It was so good!
Oh no!
In Japanese it's different.
Yeah.
Well Sam, thank you so much for creating this
whole anime world.
Give it up for him, ladies and gentlemen.
[cheering]
Thank you.
Jeez oh Pete, that was fun!
Shout out to Sam Richardson for coming
through and creating an anime with us.
Starring a wolf boy who works for a cat boss.
What?
It's already been greenlit on Netflix.
[speaks Japanese]
Hai!

What does music mean to you? - Duration: 12:07.
hi guys this is Dora the musical thinker can you tell me what I've just played?
well if you know classical music good enough then you'd immediately say that
it's Japan at you number three over Stan to be exact but what is it in more
general sense can you tell me piggy well music I guess yeah that's right
it's music but what is music according to the common definition music there's a
lot of time that expresses ideas and emotions and significant forms third
elements of rhythm melody harmony color okay
so clear you cannot really argue a lot with the definition but if you
paraphrase this question a little bit what is your personal perception of
music what does music mean to you as an individual here we enter into a less
rigorous and more of a philosophical way of thinking where this question sounds
more like what is move meaning more like what does the word move mean to you and
that's a point where every answer would actually be correct love is an intense
feeling of deep affection love is all you need love is just a four letter word
and the same thing with gopher music everybody would have their own intimate
relationship with music and in this video I want to share with you my own
perception of it which you might find interesting
to me music is a mirror why music is a mirror well everyone knows what mirror
does right but can you tell about this again alright a mirror is an object that
reflects light in such a way that for incident light means some range of
wavelengths the reflected light preserves many or most of the people
physical characteristics of the original light called specular reflection Wow
there was complicated but anyway so we stand in front of the mirror and say
I've got acne on my face again my face is all puffed up or I look so
pretty today or I've gained weight like this way we
look at ourselves in the mirror and check our appearance then why am I
saying that music is a mirror I am a pianist and to me piano is the
tool that I always check my inner self with in other words it can reflect my
personality and my character because I think the music performance represents
the performer himself there are a lot of people all around the world and everyone
has a different appearance personality in different habits let's talk about
personality there are some people who are hot-tempered and violent and the
other way there are people who are generous soft and quiet there are some
people who enjoy competing and challenging boldly on the other hand
there are people who are timid and reluctant to do such things there are
people who like joining groups and clubs attending social gatherings and
communicate with other people and also there are people who feel burdened
in such situations in prefer to spend their spare time alone quietly in case
of artists especially in case of musicians I would say that through their
art we can feel what kind of personality they have because in their performances
in their music the performers personality and habits can be seen
clearly if the player is fearless and brave if playing is also sounds brave
like a fire if the player is soft and delicate person his playing is also soft
and delicate some performers like to get attention from the people and enjoy
being in the spotlight and they usually play with nimble fingers and often raise
their hand really high and display their showmanship and on the contrary we can
notice that if there is a performer who is very humble and considered a person
we see that he plays in modest manner and he doesn't move that much while his
play you know there are a lot of pianists in this world who have
different characters they play in various ways but I don't want to mention
their names and compare their music also I need to make sure that I am not
judging each performer personally as I said everyone has his own personality
his own way of living I respect and I think it is just a matter of taste of
the audience some people like such player in such manner some people don't
alright now I want to give concrete example with my case
I've been uploading my piano performance videos on my youtube channel since I was
12 and in my teens my character is informed well I played
piano not because I was desperately in love
with music no I'd rather say that I just wanted to get attention from the people
around me and whenever I uploaded my videos on YouTube people often replied
you're playing like a robot there's no emotion at all it is not music it is not
an art be a musician not a technician yeah I agree
my sound was very rough but even in dirty and if I think about this actually
I was such kind of person I mean I was so stubborn and I didn't want to be
ignored when somebody said to me something bad I started hating him and I
wanted to show with my plane how scary I am so I practiced spitefully if I play
showy and fast pieces which require a lot of power I my sim Menace threat fall
so nobody can look down on me or underestimate my ability
at the time I could think of nothing but those things stupid though just in my
heart there was no will to express the beauty of sound or various emotions of a
human being and after the performance in the Carnegie Hall I stopped doing music
for about three four years well I'll tell you this story later anyway in
those three four years I experienced so many things in my life and finally when
I grabbed the instruments again I felt that it is such a blessing that I can
play music but it was not easy you know I was quick temporary person I couldn't
see further and longer I only focused on the moment I faced now so when I wanted
something I just rushed at it by all means
I have no such thing as patients also I often lost little things like
transportation cards umbrellas earphones phone chargers sometimes even Passport
and I didn't have good relationships with people around me starting a new
relationship was quite an easy task for me but I was bad at finishing if
somebody offended me then I started to hate him
I just stopped talking with him immediately and just blocked his number
and pages in all social media like that and sadly these things were directly
reflected in my music because of my impatience I couldn't listen to each
note carefully until it's sound ends and in the score there are so many dynamics
and expressions which are indicated by musical notations and I often forgot
those stuffs when I played I couldn't sing even just one phrase and
concentrated on each bar of the score so music often stopped flowing
I just couldn't play a simple melody calmly it was too painful for me because
it not only shows my bad habits when I play but also shows my underlying
problems so what am I doing with music it's simple
I listen to my playing carefully every time notice my problems and try to get
rid of them not only in technical and musical ones but also my bad habits in
my daily life let me give you some examples when my music doesn't flow I
think hmm maybe I have a short and narrow perspective I have to try to see
everything widely and further when I cannot play calmly and gently I think
okay maybe I am still a hot-tempered girl I should take the time to be calm
and I try to leave and act calmly in every aspect of my life I try to open
and close the door quietly put things down gently eat and drink slowly
with this process bit by bit I felt that my music also gets better and better
honestly playing music is not always a pleasant thing for me because through
this I can see my weak points but on the other hand I am happy because of it
because I can correct some flaws that I have with reflecting my inner self in
music so now I will raise the same question once again what is music what
does the word music mean to you personally thank you so much for
watching my first video I say what's the interesting then please reply and tell
me what do you think about it hope to see you guys on my next video bye bye

What's the best lead-acid battery for my Off-Grid solar panel kit? - Duration: 1:25.
I often tell people there's not a one-size-fits-all when it comes to batteries.
Every application is going to be different and honestly, a lot of it
comes down to how the customer is with equipment, how hands-on they really want to be.
If you're looking for the most cost-effective solution and a tried-and-true battery technology,
that's been around for a long time, and that's gonna do a great job, go with the flooded lead-acid battery.
The flip side is the maintenance involved.
You're gonna have to check the levels of water inside the batteries.
You're going to have to equalize those batteries at least every 90 days.
And there's some things that you have to do to stay on top of it to ensure the longevity of the battery.
if you're the type of person that might run your car completely out of oil
and you don't check things like that, maybe stay away from flooded lead-acid batteries.
Let's go with a sealed AGM (Absorbed Glass Mat). This is gonna be more of a maintenance-free approach.
There's no off gassing, there's no equalizing. You don't have to check water levels.
You install those batteries and you kinda forget about them.
That level of maintenance-free technology comes at a higher price.
So with that said, you kind of have to weigh how much work you're willing to put into your batteries
versus the cost of those different solutions.

BT Daily: What Is Behind America's Immigration Crisis? - Duration: 4:34.
[Darris McNeely] Well, looking at an article in a recent issue of our Beyond Today magazine
about immigration and the issues regarding that, I was struck by a story I remember that
I went through one time that I think brings a human face to this entire issue of immigration,
migration, walls, and the whole discussion that has polarized the world and especially
the United States at this time.
I was in Israel.
My friend and I were traveling between countries.
We were actually being prepared to cross over into Jordan and we were stuck in the back
of a small bus with a bunch of other individuals who were going to make that trip as well.
Two ladies came on and they sat right in front of us.
And a gentleman was with the lady, obviously her son, and she had her bag and she was making
the trip with us.
And the son pulls, out of his pocket, a wad of money and gives it to his mother.
And, though I didn't understand Arabic, it was obvious what was taking place.
Here was a son putting his mother on the bus, giving her money so that she could make the
trip over across the border to visit some family and relatives because they had been
separated because of war, because of a border, because of hostility and the enmity between
peoples in this part of the world which is really a part of the story about all of the
migrations and immigrations and walls that we are contending with today, in spite of
all of the political ideologies that are there as well.
And it reminded me exactly of the problem that we are facing, and the actual, not just
the size of it but the individual and where all of this affects people in their daily
lives as it separates, as it divides as a result of people desiring something better.
I was reading an article about the immigration crisis, again from another source, and it
basically was saying that more than 700 million people today want to move from where they
are to another part of the world, primarily the United States and Europe.
Why?
For the majority of them, to get a better life, to have an escape from frankly, a failed
state where they are, in most cases because of war, because of corruption and poverty.
And they want a better life.
And that reminded me of a scripture, in James 5, that I think that again, at the heart of
all of this for us to consider, take a step back because we get politicized and we get
very emotional about this.
And there's something that God says that should help us to understand what is at the heart.
It speaks to people who have power, "Come now you rich, weep and howl for your miseries
that are coming upon you.
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.
Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and
will eat your flesh like fire.
You have heaped up treasure in the last days."
And it is speaking and a poetic sense to all who hold power whether be by wealth, by politics
or other means over people.
Because in the next verse it says, "Indeed the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields,
which you kept back by fraud cry out and the cries of the reapers have reached the ears
of the Lord of Sabaoth."
(James 5:1-4)
Why people want to move, why people are on the move in the world today, more than 700
million wanting a better life?
It is because of the failed states.
It is because their governments where they are have not taken care of them to provide
peace and safety.
There is coming a better time when that will happen but before then, we've got some rocky
roads ahead of us.
So as we listen to the discussions, as we listen to the debates, let's make sure that
we take a step or two back and keep a Biblical perspective from God's eye view of what is
taking place in our world today.
And remember that borders and crossings and walls and migrations and wars and all of this
keep people separated and it comes down to the basic human yearning and desire for people
to live in harmony and to live in peace.
The absence of that creates so much of the suffering that we have.
That is BT Daily.
Join us next time.

Liverpool boss Klopp BLASTED for snow tactic Did you spot what he did at Anfield ● LFC News - Duration: 2:44.
LIVERPOOL were heavily criticised for what the Anfield ground staff did during half time
of their clash with Leicester.
The Reds took just two minutes to take the lead when Sadio Mané curled home.
Mohamed Salah had a soft penalty appeal turned away when he ran into Harry Maguire.
The England centre back was at the heart of the action, he appeared to be the last man
when he brought down Mané but only received a yellow card.
Maguire then levelled on the stroke of half time to stun Anfield, who were hoping their
side would extend their gap to seven points at the top of the table.
Liverpool's quest to win their first ever Premier League title went to extra levels
at half time though.
With the snow laying at Anfield, ground staff appeared to only clear snow that was in Leicester
half where Liverpool would attack the Kop end.
In the first half, the snow appeared to hold the ball up and slow the game down.
Jurgen Klopp was hoping that the snow may halt the pace of the Leicester counter attack
spearheaded by Jamie Vardy.
On the other hand, clearing the pitch would help his side attack with pace through Salah
and Mané.
Football fans took to Twitter to call out the sneaky Liverpool tactic.
One fan said: "Just imagine the scenes if any opposition vs Liverpool just cleared one
side of the pitch?!
I swear there'd be a petition."
Another said: "Liverpool only clearing one part of the pitch is hilarious because I don't
remember us ever having to pull any stunts like that when we won the league."
One fan called out Klopp: "Reminder that Klopp complained about the pitch at City,
and at half time the Liverpool groundsman have only cleared their attacking half of
the snow."
"Klopp is the biggest hypocrite going.
Complains about pitches being dry and long and yet gets the groundsmen to only clear
the snow on Liverpool's half," another added.
Liverpool were desperate to beat the Foxes seeing as a win would have put them seven
points clear at the summit, though they were held to a 1-1 draw.
That was after rivals Manchester City were beaten by former Reds boss Rafael Benitez
on Tuesday night at Newcastle.

Parshat Mishpatim: What the Bible Says About Doing the Right Thing - Duration: 3:15.
It says an exodus chapter 23 verse 2,
"You shall not follow the majority for evil
and you shall not respond in a dispute to distort justice
by inclining after the majority."
In other words, you have to determine for yourself
your own sense of what is right
regardless of what is popular, especially when the masses want
to undermine justice for the easy way out.
One of the most important parts of growing up
is having the ability to decide how your actions make an impact
on your friends and the world around you.
When it comes to making a decision of what to do,
do you follow the path of being just and fair
or the path of going along with the crowd no matter how mean they may be?
This principle is found in the Torah portion of Mishpatim
which is all about ways to follow Jewish ethical traditions and moral precepts.
You see, back when Moses received the Commandments at Mount Sinai,
the Israelite people were in a bind.
Newly freed from slavery in Egypt, the laws and customs they were used to
couldn't apply to their status as free people.
So the Israelites had to adapt and follow a new path
where everyone was treated fairly.
So laws and courts were put into place.
Today we call the ability for all to have a say: Democracy.
but even in this early period of Torah history,
the Israelites were concerned about the need for fairness.
As slaves they had no say in their well being but as a free people
they will be able to determine their destiny and the destiny of their descendants.
Democracy means having the ability to choose representatives
who will act on behalf of the people.
What is most exciting about living in a society that values democracy
is that the focus is on ideas, discussion, disagreement, and compromise.
All values that are central to a Jewish life.
You might say that the seeds of the society
that we live in today, are found in this part of the Book of Exodus,
where Moses selects people to serve as representatives
of the larger community to ensure all are treated with dignity.
From these Bible verses, the Jewish tradition evolved a rich system of justice
that still functions to this day.
But democracy is not the end.
It's the beginning.
Your choices determine the path you set out on.
This is a heavy burden but also a blessed opportunity.
Beware of those who may lead you astray.
That is the easy way out.
Instead look to role models: parents, friends, and teachers
to help guide you on your journey.
Don't be afraid to go against the grain to do what is right over what is popular.
Be courageous! Be bold! Be you!
These values allowed our ancestors to flee hardship and survive against the cruelest conditions.
Take to heart the need to seek light in the darkness
and reject bad decisions.
Seeking love, respect, compassion and seeing the uniqueness in
all people, is the best way to avoid being a follower of evil.

What is FileVault Management? | JumpCloud Video - Duration: 2:07.
Hey, it's Vince with JumpCloud®.
Welcome to another episode of our What Is? video series.
In this episode we'll be talking about FileVault® management.
So, what is FileVault Management?
FileVault management refers to the ability to manage Full Disk Encryption (FDE) on macOS®
devices as well as the secure storage of recovery keys.
FileVault is an Apple® utility that is used to encrypt data stored on a hard drive when
it is at rest or not in use.
With an increasing focus on data security through the past decade, Full Disk Encryption
is quickly becoming an industry security standard for most modern IT organizations.
Add in the popularity of Macs in the office, and it's easy to see how the ability to manage
FileVault throughout and organization can be useful.
The challenge for IT organizations has been that implementing FDE across a fleet of Macs
has been difficult because it's not a fully automated process.
Not only does FDE traditionally have to be enabled for each user and machine, but admins
also need a way to securely store recovery keys.
Thankfully, there is a next generation cloud directory service, which includes a full-fledged
FileVault management Policy.
It's called JumpCloud Directory-as-a-Service® and it has the ability to enable FileVault
2 remotely across Mac fleets, and can also escrow individual recovery keys with ease.
Contact JumpCloud to learn how you can manage FileVault 2 across your Mac fleet with the
Directory-as-a-Service platform.
You can also sign up for a free account and see for yourself.
We offer 10 users free forever to help get you started.

What Are The Benefits Of Listing My Home For Sale In The Winter? | Low Inventory Of Houses Persists! - Duration: 2:19.
Hello it's Jerry at #OttawaMortgageBroker at https://www.whyrentinottawa.com/ and we are here today with... I am Thomas
I'm a #OttawaRealEstateSalesperson at https://www.justsellinghomes.ca/ here in #Ottawa It's the beginning of the year
#January2019 and basically the the question people ask me is why should I list my
#home right now in the #winter instead of waiting for #spring so main thing is
there is basically less competition when you drive around the street during
springtime okay you'd probably see 10 to 15 #RealEstateSigns okay on a busy busy market in
#May2019 but when you do the same thing in #January2019 you probably see one or two signs so so
the likelihood that people will actually come to your street and see the one or
two houses is more likely than 15 houses in the #SpringTime This is great in those people stop with
your home right now and there's a really serious #Buyers who are shopping it yes
they are #SeriousBuyers and that's a good thing you don't
want just tire-kickers to go in check out the #houses I don't know because they
have nothing to do on #Sunday right do you want them serious and the cold makes
it with a more serious. So you have less competition, second thing is #SeriousBuyers out there
and also in terms of #agents , #agents that are serious about their business are
going to be showing clients during wintertime summertime Christmastime
whatever time the the last thing I'm gonna talk about is that during the
winter time you actually do that quick QuickerTransactions #lawyers are busy
everybody is busy right in in #May2019 So let's say you shop for a #home in January2019 you're
not close in #March2019 you're going to be better off in terms
of that #lenders #lawyers and #OttawaRealEstateAgents everybody is more
organized but because it's it's less hectic time basically the thing is you
you are getting quicker transactions okay so I would like to end on that note
It's #TomWitek My website is https://www.JustSellingHomes.ca
