"Survivor" (8 p.m., CBS): The venerable reality series launches its 35th season (That's no typo!) with 18 new castaways divided along the lines of Heroes, Healers or Hustlers.
One of the tribes will earn an advantage when the game is immediately "ignited" by the season's first challenge, and there is a super idol that comes with a new twist.
"The Goldbergs" (8 p.m., ABC): As the retro comedy kicks off its fifth season, Erica heads to college and Beverly sleeps over in the dorm because she has trouble letting go. Meanwhile, inspired by the movie "Weird Science," Adam tries to build the perfect girlfriend for Barry.
"Empire" (8 p.m., Fox): The new season picks up several months after the Las Vegas explosion that rocked Empire Entertainment to its very core.
The company is preparing to celebrate its 20th anniversary, but behind the scenes, its heart and the soul – Lucious Lyon – is not the same.
As a result of the explosion, Lucious has suffered both mental and physical setbacks, and each of the Lyons, as well as his new nurse, Claudia (guest star Demi Moore), and old friend, Eddie Barker (guest star Forest Whitaker), have his/her own interest in his recovery. This is a crossover episode in which Queen Latifah of "Star" drops by.

What is the Brightline Initiative? - Duration: 2:31.
Every 20 seconds, one million dollars is wasted globally due to the poor implementation of strategy
In one day, that means almost five billion dollars
Two trillion in an year
And just to put this into perspective for you, it's the GDP of Brazil, my native country
You may think I am talking only about profit, shareholder value, lost revenues
No. It's above and beyond that
I'm talking about the world that is facing unprecedented inequality
It's critical now that we manage our efforts to reduce this destruction of value
to benefit people, organizations, and the society in general
This is why we created Brightline
Brightline is a not-commercial initiative of leading organizations that decided to work together
to bridge the gap between strategy design and strategy delivery
It's to bring ideas to life
In order to do that, Brightline will work on three basic areas
The first one is to sponsor and support professional and academic research
The second one is to be a forum where senior leaders come to share ideas and best practices
The third area is to be a platform for professional development on practical and applicable knowledge
I know from my experience that if you have a piece of paper, you can put all your ideas on it
And I am not saying that this is a simple task
But take these ideas from paper and transform them into reality is what really delivers value
It's to make things happen
So I invite you as a leader in your organization to put this topic in your agenda
Because your people are waiting for someone to make big things happen and they cannot do this without you
Finally, let's remember that the line that connects strategy design and delivery is blurred
Let's replace it with a bright line.

see if we can make Taylor Swift because certainly we can make our look really
beautiful and what should we start with well we got to ride this because
everybody rides this yes ok what do we start with for Taylor Swift okay this is
gonna be a hard one for me because I want her to kind of look pretty I mean I
know she's gonna be an animatronic okay and we can only work with so many things
wait that is a beautiful blue fidget over there look at that okay what am I
even doing okay Taylor what are you gonna start with or should we say tape a
and look what you made me do that that is what I'm saying look what you made me

with oh my gosh well look at that oh you're beautiful
yes okay shall we make her striped no because we have to start fresh with no
color and no I'm not gonna make her a pig I have no idea what to make her I
should have thought of this before I get it how about an owl that makes no sense
I know well goat squirrel we could make her a squirrel okay let's make her a
squirrel Taylor Swift is going to be a squirrel with a little fluffy tail and
it doesn't even look like a squirrel does it no it doesn't
can we put a dress on her let's see if there's dresses where do you find
dresses and well I guess we got to color her
body what should we make I said she has blonde hair whoa whoa I'm going to make
her body yellow that sounds good like a chicken yeah yellow like tika child no
we're not a child stop we are not a child we are an adult
let's get over here oh boy is that the body color entered my gosh I do this
every time what is this over here body color okay what color should Taylor
Swift be I mean she could be pink yeah but that doesn't make any sense
so let's make her this color it's kind of yellow I mean it's yellow right
that's yellow and I see her chest plate is a different color hi hello fidgety
you're pretty yes you are I love that color blue that is absolutely gorgeous

can I do lipstick I want to do lipstick because she wears really bright red
lipstick okay material no we don't need that okay what is this oh I could tell
this is gonna be beautiful secondary body color okay I am gonna
make that red because we're gonna pretend like she has lipstick on how's
that and I need cheeks wait first let's try
to find cheeks where do you find cheeks eyelashes oh my gosh I can't get
eyelashes let's get eyelashes all those are cute look she has a little eyelashes
of course Taylor Swift would have eyelashes right oh of course that just
makes sense okay where's the chest fur I don't think she has that Oh toy cheeks
they're red well that that's okay that's okay
she has toyed cheeks I want to give her lipstick but I guess we can do secondary
color and that could be red get your butter movement just get it move it oh
look at the little first and that is a little boy and what is that pink a
little bit tail oh my gosh this epic tale that's huge
okay so secondary body color let's go red because that's gonna be beautiful
and it's gonna give her oh she has a red outfit and red on her tail beautiful oh
you're pretty look at that you are so pretty this person here has no idea I'm
trying to make Taylor Swift and if they knew they would just be like oh my gosh
that's terrible okay what about paw pads what are these
I don't know what those do at all look look at the bottom of my feet all those
adorbs look at that oh gosh I am sold on the fall pads
those are just cute okay what about a bunny tail we could give her a bunny
cowl although it probably just stuck it on top of my tail it did look it's just
stuck there okay never mind that was stupid
unibrow no I don't want to give her cute eyes cute eyes could they still be blue
though I'm afraid to change them okay well we need a dress where do you find
dresses because Taylor Swift needs a dress and she needs beautiful hair
because everybody knows that Taylor Swift has beautiful hair and why is that
red not really red on my chest and the supposed to be her lips look it's not
even red I am so let down we have to go back did well stop we have to wait no
okay I can do this okay
secondary collar I want bright red much better okay I don't know why I thought
why does it still look dark on my tail no I want bright red on my tail too it's
not gonna do my tail very good okay but we have those little feet look at those
feet those are adorbs okay we need clothing clothing that's
what we need and we need a little dress because Taylor Swift needs a dress she
can't not have a dress seriously and it would be nice if we can have a nice
dress and there's no dress what hey how's this even possible

What is Hygge and What it is all about?
Hello everyone, in this video you will come to know about hygge, so watch till the end
of the video and if you like the video, please do not forget to subscribe to this channel.
So, hygge is a Danish word and is pronounced as HOO-gah and the meaning of this word is
coziness.
Hygge involves things and feelings to create a lifestyle.
In includes the feelings that you get from taking a break and truly enjoying your coffee
and soft blankets that make you want to cuddle up on the couch are all components of hygge.
The basic philosophy behind hygge is to create an atmosphere or environment that is free
of stress.
So it could mean cleaning up your place if the clutter is beginning to get overwhelming.
Hygge is something that you can work towards achieving but in the process do not forget
to stop and enjoy the life.
Winter is the most obvious time of year of hygge but the Danes make it last year round.
Danish people are known to be amongst the happiest people in the world which could be
because they enjoy basic access such as free university education, universal health care,
social security, excellent infrastructure, paid family leave and at least a month of
vacation a year.
So that is all about hygge.

HOW MONSANTO GENETICALLY MODIFIES OUR FOOD COMPARED TO WHAT HAPP - Duration: 19:37.
HOW MONSANTO GENETICALLY MODIFIES OUR FOOD COMPARED TO WHAT HAPPENS NATURALLY IN NATURE
Are you concerned about Genetically Modified Foods? Here�s (GMOs Revealed) a great documentary
that addresses many of the questions and concerns most people have today.
In March 2014, scientists from Indiana University announced that they had conducted research
to examine the operations of the fruit fly genome �in greater detail than ever before
possible� and had identified �thousands of new genes, transcripts and proteins.�
Their results indicated that the fly�s genome is �far more complex than previously suspected
and suggests that the same will be true of the genomes of other higher organisms.�
Of the approximately 1,500 new genes that were discovered, 536 of them were found within
areas that were previously assumed to be gene-free zones. Furthermore, when the flies were subjected
to stresses, small changes in expression level at thousands of genes occurred, and four newly
modelled genes were expressed altogether differently.
Why is this important? Because it reveals how little we know about this planet and the
organisms dwelling on it, yet also how much we think we know. This kind of hubris is found
within all areas of human knowledge, but particularly when it comes to science.
Another great example that I�ve used before is when the populace first realized that the
Earth wasn�t flat. Another is a statement made by physicist Lord Kelvin, who stated
in 1900 that �there is nothing new to be discovered in physics now. All that remains
is more and more precise measurement.� This assertion was shattered only five years later
when Einstein published his paper on special relativity.
When it comes to our genes, and the genes of other organisms, we really do know next
to nothing. Unfortunately, proponents of the biotech industry (Monsanto, DuPont, Syngenta,
etc.) claim otherwise, and have developed multiple, flawed assumptions that undergird
agricultural bioengineering.
The information presented in this article comes from a variety of different sources,
but my primary sourceis Steven Druker, a public interest attorney and the Executive Director
of the Alliance for Bio-Integrity. He initiated a lawsuit in 1998 that forced the U.S. Food
and Drug (FDA) to release its files on genetically engineered foods, and recently published a
book about it, which has received dozens of rave reviews from the world�s most accredited
scientists in the field. I draw primarily from his book for this article.
�This incisive and insightful book is truly outstanding. Not only is it well reasoned
and scientifically solid, it�s a pleasure to read � and a must-read. Through its masterful
marshalling of facts, it dispels the cloud of disinformation that has misled people into
believing that GE foods have been adequately tested and don�t entail abnormal risk.�
� David Schubert, PhD, molecular biologist and Head of Cellular Neurobiology, Salk Institute
for Biological Studies.
Natural Genetic Modification Versus Human Induced Genetic Modification
Biotech proponents have an unshakable faith in their GE crops, and these corporations
also hold major sway over mainstream media outlets, and close relationships with government
agencies like the FDA. Indeed, several high level industry employees have also held positions
at these institutions. One example is the FDA Deputy Commissioner for Foods, Michael
Taylor, who is also Monsanto�s former Vice President for Public Policy. While at the
FDA, he was instrumental in getting approval for Monsanto�s genetically engineered bovine
growth hormone.
Druker outlines in his book how the commercialization of genetically engineered foods was enabled
by the fraudulent behaviour of these government agencies, and how this actually violates explicit
mandates for federal food safety law. The evidence shows that the �FDA�s falsehoods
have been abundantly supplemented with falsehoods disseminated by eminent scientists and scientific
institutions, and the entire GE food venture.�
This is why it�s so amazing to see so many scientists within the field supporting the
dissemination of truth, and bringing the falsehoods to light. So if you still think this type
of thing is a conspiracy theory, we now have the documents as well as the science, which
stands on its own, to show that something is terribly wrong here.
Joseph Cummins, Ph.D. and Professor Emeritus of Genetics at Western University in London,
Ontario, believes that Druker�s book is a �landmark� and that �it should be
required reading in every university biology course.�
There are several presumptions on which the bioengineering venture was based, and one
of them is that natural breeding is more random and unruly than bioengineering. The standard
argument holds that genetic modification has been occurring for thousands of years, and
what we do now is simply that process sped up and made better.
Key Presumptions on Which the Bioengineering Venture Was Based
Genetic engineering is based on the presumption that the genome is just a linear system, where
the action of a single gene will not impact the action of other genes, or disrupt their
normal function.
In 2007, the New York Times published an article outlining how �the presumption that genes
operate independently has been institutionalized since 1976, when the first biotech company
was founded. In fact, it is the economic and regulatory foundation on which the entire
biotechnology industry is built.�
Basically, genes are viewed as autonomous, adding to the whole without acting holistically
because they don�t express their proteins in a closely coordinated matter. Another assumption
used to justify genetic engineering is that genes aren�t organized in a specific way,
that the sequence in which they occur is meaningless From this point of view, a gene would function
normally if it were relocated to a different chromosome or came from a neighbouring gene.
Quite a big assumption, don�t you think? Giorgio Bernardi, a biologist at the University
of Rome III who specialized in the study of genome evolution, calls this perspective a
�bean-bag view of the genome� because it regards the genes as �randomly distributed.�
Druker explains:
Together, these two assumptions supported the belief that a chunk of recombinant DNA
could be put into a plan�s genome without inducing disturbance � because if the behavior
of the native genes was largely uncoordinated and their arrangement was irrelevant, there
would be no important patterns that could be perturbed by such insertions. Accordingly,
they engendered confidence in the precision of genetic engineering, because they implied
that the outcome of a gene insertion would be exactly what the bioengineers expected.
How could biotech proponents push the idea that the target organism would continue to
function just as it had before, and that the change would be limited to the new trait endowed
by the inserted gene? How can it simply be assumed that this would not alter any of the
organism�s other qualities?
These presumptions still underly genetic engineering today. The example of the fly above serves
well here. In the New York Times article cited earlier, the author noted that �genes appear
to operate in a complex network,� and states that �evidence of a networked genome shatters
the scientific basis for virtually every official risk assessment of today�s commercial biotech
products, from genetically engineered crops to pharmaceuticals.�
Molecular geneticist Michael Antoniou, who testified at New Zealand�s Royal Commission
in 2001, notes that agricultural bioengineering �was based on the understanding of genetics
we had 15 years ago, about genes being isolated little units that work independently of each
other.� He also presented evidence showing that genes actually �work as an integrated
whole of families.�
Despite the grave possibility that these presumptions are indeed wrong, they still form the backbone
of genetic engineering today.
Antoniou himself was even selected to represent multiple nongovernmental organizations to
present precaution reasons to the UK�s GM Review Panel, and a plethora of studies that
clearly justify it. Despite his presentation, and many others�, the 11 other scientists
on the panel, who were biotech proponents, dismissed these studies and continued to argue
that it makes absolutely no difference how genes are arranged.
How can a scientist make such a statement?
What do we have as a result? As Druker says:
Such disregard, denial, or avoidance in regard to the evidence was essential for maintaining
faith in the venture, because its predictability and safety have always relied on the genome
being largely disjointed; and the more the genome instead appears to function as a tightly
coordinated system, the more potentially disruptive and unpredictable are the interventions of
the bioengineers.
Geneticist, activist, and environmentalist David Suzuki weighed in on this very subject
a few years ago in an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC):
By slipping it into our food without our knowledge, without any indication that there are genetically
modified organisms in our food, we are now unwittingly part of a massive experiment.
. . . Essentially, the FDA has said that genetically modified organisms, or food, are basically
not much different from regular food, and so they�ll be treated in the same way. The
problem is this: Geneticists follow the inheritance of genes, in what we call a vertical fashion
. . . [but] what biotechnology allows us to do is to take this organism, and move it,
what we call horizontally, into a totally unrelated species. Now, David Suzuki doesn�t
normally mate with a carrot plant and exchange genes. What biotechnology allows us to do
is to switch genes from one to the other, without regard for the biological constraints.
. . . It�s very very bad science. We assume that the principals governing the inheritance
of genes vertically applies when you move genes laterally or horizontally. There�s
absolutely no reason to make that conclusion.
More Differences
This is a common argument made by GE-food proponents, and commonly used whenever an
expert brings up a challenge to the technology�s safety. For example, David Schubert, PhD,
a molecular biologist and the Head of Cellular Neurobiology at the Salk Institute for Biological
Studies, commented in Nature Biotechnology that there was mounting evidence that the
insertion of even one gene into a cell�s DNA alters the expression patters of genes
throughout the entire cell. He said facts like this one, among many others, �cast
doubt on the soundness of agricultural bioengineering � and entail the conclusion that it �is
not a safe option.� �
Predictably, when a professor and a laboratory director of one of the world�s most prestigious
scientific institutions makes a comment like this, there�s going to be a response. This
time it came in the form of a letter, published by 18 biologists at respected universities
and institutions, stating that Dr. Schubert failed to properly consider �the genetic
realities.� The main reality he allegedly failed to recognize is that the natural method
of plant breeding is inherently more random than bioengineering.
A portion of the letter reads as following:
We do not take issue with Schubert�s basic contention that unintended genetic and metabolic
events can take place. The reality is that �unintentional consequences� are much
more likely to occur in nature than in biotechnology because nature relies on the unintentional
consequences of blind random genetic mutation and rearrangement to produce adaptive phenotypic
results, whereas GM technology employs precise, specific, and rationally designed genetic
modification toward a specific engineering goal.
In his book, Steven Druker offers the following counterargument: �This letter thus reveals
how strongly the GE food venture relies on the presumption that the natural process driving
biological development are intrinsically more disorderly and risk-bearing than the genetic
interventions instigated by the human mind. And it confirms that this belief forms the
ideological bedrock on which the venture rests.�
In fact, a report published in 2004 by the National Academy of Sciences couldn�t uphold
�even the more modest notion that bioengineering and natural breeding pose the same risks.�
The panel that produced the report ranked various modes of plant breeding in terms of
their disposition to produce unintended effects. They were forced to acknowledge that bioengineering
produces far greater effects than pollen-based sexual reproduction. Despite this fact, they
still insisted that this does not mean a difference in risks.
Druker says in response:
Thus, there�s no rational way to reconcile the fact that natural breeding is less disruptive
and more predictable than bioengineering with the claim that it poses equal or greater risk,
which is why the admission in the 2004 report is a rarity � and why biotech proponents
almost always ignore or deny that fact and instead assert that natural breeding is more
disorderly and unpredictable.
Randomness
According to the biotech industry, natural plant breeding could actually result in crops
that are dangerous to human consumption, which is why we should be grateful for genetic engineering.
For example, in the same NAS report mentioned above, they portrayed what are known as �jumping
genes� as more randomly mobile and threatening, but failed to recognize, as Druker points
out, that although these entities do not pose risks within natural pollen based breeding,
when bioengineering is employed they do because that process alone �tends to stir them up
and get them jumping.�
When it comes to sexual reproduction, it�s yet another area where biotech proponents
state that it�s a random phenomenon, despite the fact that we now know that it�s not
random, and that there are multiple factors that can and do influence the genetics of
life. Genetic engineering, be it human induced or naturally occurring, requires a genetic
�rearragnement,� a recombination of DNA. The difference between the artificial way
and the natural way is that the natural way does not disrupt the entire organism, as was
discussed a little earlier in the article and touched upon in the Suzuki quote above.
As Druker explains:
This natural form of recombination occurs during the formation of gametes (the sperm
and egg cells). It includes a step called crossover in which two partner chromosomes
break at corresponding points and then exchange complementary sections of DNA; and every time
a gamete is produced, every set of paired chromosomes engages in it. In this way, all
the chromosomes end up with genes from both parents instead of from only one. However,
all the genes are preserved, as is the sequences in which they�re positioned. The only changes
are in the relationships between aleles. . . . So this natural recombination augments diversity
while maintaining stability. And without it, except for the occasional favorable mutation,
the composition of chromosomes would stay the same from generation to generation, and
genetic diversity would grow at far too sluggish a pace.
He goes on to mention how natural recombination preserves the order of the genes, and is predictable
in the way it cuts DNA. The entire process displays a great deal of order.
Despite this fact, scientists who support GE state, as in, for example, the 2004 NAS
report, that �genetic engineering methods are considered by some to be more precise
than conventional breeding methods because only known and precisely characterized genes
are transferred.� They use the idea that the randomness and unpredictability of natural
engineering make bioengineering safer.
Yet, as Druker so brilliantly captures:
This misleading tactic fixates on the predictability of the plant�s specific agronomic traits;
and it portrays traditional breeding as less predictable than bioengineering because undesired
attributes are often transferred along with the one that is desired. However, those who
employ this ploy don�t acknowledge that if both parents are safe to eat, the unwanted
traits hardly ever pose risk to human health. Rather, they�re undesirable for reasons
irrelevant to risk (such as aesthetic appearance or seed size), and breeders must then perform
back-crossing to eliminate them while retaining the trait they want. However, although the
inclusion of unwanted traits entails more work, it does not increase attendant risks.
Therefore, while breeders can�t fully predict what traits will appear, they can confidently
predict that the resulting plant will be safe to eat.
This is why the GE stance on natural modification is so flawed and misleading.
Druker goes on:
Although it describes the sexual reproduction of food-yielding plants as a messy and risky
affair that involves the transfer of �thousands of unknown genes with unknown function,�
we actually know quite a lot about those genes. And what we know is far more important than
what we don�t know. We know that they�re all where they�re supposed to be, and that
they�re arranged in an orderly fashion. And we know that during the essential process
in which some of them are traded between partnered chromosomes in order to promote the diversity
that strengthens the species, their orderly arrangement is marvelously maintained. Most
important, we know that their functions mesh to form an exquisitely efficient system that
generates and sustains a plant that regularly provides us with wholesome food.
This sharply contrasts with genetic engineering.
As you can see, comparing natural modification to biotech modification is not an easy process,
and this isn�t even the tip of the iceberg. Research shows that it�s not natural modification
that�s more random and risky, but biotech genetic modification:
The inserted cassettes are haphazardly wedged into the cell�s DNA, they create unpredictable
disruptions at the site of insertion, the overall process induces hundreds of mutations
throughout the DNA molecule, the activity of the inserted cassettes can create multiple
imbalances, and the resultant plant cannot be deemed safe without undergoing a battery
of rigorous tests that has yet to be applied to any engineered crop.

Opened up our first restaurant in 2016, and now we're here.
We have two trucks, two food trucks,
a catering van, a restaurant, and we're working
on growing and expanding some more.
Jamaica Mi Hungry, our food style
is Jamaican cuisine with a little bit of a twist.
The twist is pretty much all the crazy, imaginative,
fun things that came from our chef Ernie's head,
(laughs)
mixed with some of our just creativity and fun.
So my current role here at Jamaica Mi Hungry,
I am really pretty much in charge
of running the food truck itself.
So making sure that we have what we need on the food truck,
everything from the paper supplies to the food.
Making sure that we have staffing for the truck,
knowing where the truck is going, how to get it there,
making sure the truck is always clean inside and out.
Managing the staff, putting together the schedules,
scheduling our prep time in the kitchen,
ordering food that we need to have done for prep.
Coming here to cook the food, which I do
a little bit less of that now because I'm trying
to really grab a hold on the trucks,
and of course driving the trucks.
So my job is to take the trucks out
and make sure that they're not getting scratched
and crashed, and nobody's getting hit.
(laughs)
Also once we pull up on the location, I serve the food.
I make sure that our customers are super happy all the time.
I kind of take the lead on making sure
that our customers are just getting
the customer interaction piece going,
making sure that the customers are aware of who we are,
making sure we know who our customers are.
We've had customers that have been following us on the truck
for the past two years, and they come every day.
Making sure that I know what they have
so I don't even have to let them ask for it.
I'm like, "all right, I see you, gotcha."
(laughs)
The most difficult part of my job
is probably how physically demanding it is.
We are up on our feet all day,
which doesn't really bother me
but other than that, I do love it.
We were without a website for a little while
because we had one that was built
a while ago and it wasn't working.
So I took some time over the winter when it was kind of slow
and I just hopped on a website and just really
forced myself to sit there and learn how to build one.
Last year, it was like, I don't know.
A week seemed to be like 14 to 15 days before it ever ended.
My salary is very variable and a big part of that reason
is that I'm so invested in the business
and making sure that the business is always successful.
When I first started working with the company full time,
we were teeny, teeny tiny and now we're growing
to be this huge thing. We just want to make sure
that we're able to maintain that, so we're able
to maintain the lifestyle and the job that we have.
So over the winter time for example,
this past winter we did-- or actually this past summer
we did a lot of investing in opening up the restaurant,
getting lots of things done there.
So over the winter time it was a crunch.
The trucks are not going out as much,
not making as much money. A lot of people--
Not as many people want to come out in the snow
or in cold weather to get food from the food truck.
So the sacrifice was made in terms of the salary
to make sure that the food truck can keep running
so that we can come back and get a salary
in the summer time. (laughs)

Jurassic World's Indominous Rex Concept Art: What Jurassic World's Indominous Rex Nearly Looked Like - Duration: 3:55.
newly-released concept art from Jurassic world reveals that the indominus rex
hybrid dinosaur could have looked very different
the powerful intelligent beast made its debut in the 2015 magnetic wreaking
havoc on the very people who created it the freakish indominus eventually led a
stun Owen greedy Chris Pratt to declare that thing out there that's no dinosaur
in Jena and the mastani corporation learned quickly in Jurassic world that
they went too far with indominus the finished product of a hybrid creation
heavily resembled the iconic Tyrannosaurus Rex only with much longer
arms and larger claws to go with its gray scales and camouflage abilities
however it turns out that one early design for the monster was a sharp
visual contrast to what ended up on screen you can check out the indominus
rex artwork via the art station page for ian joiner one of Jurassic world's
credited concept artists the art depicts a dinosaur that still resembles a t-rex
but one with a yellow jacket like strike pattern and longer sharper spikes along
its spine and elbows it also has much smaller arms and claws than the final
version of no meanness but they are still enlarged labs at Jurassic world
originally created indominus as a fresh attraction beyond the boring old t-rex
to draw more visitors but regardless of how cool it look it was clear that the
creature would be too powerful and dangerous for the park to contain it
appears that on gen and Miss Ronnie haven't learned from their lessons in
2018 s Jurassic world fallen Kingdom which has teased the appearance of a new
dinosaur that is if indominus didn't survive
speculation on other recent photos suggests that there may be a new hybrid
dinosaur in jayanna Jurassic world follow-up perhaps one
that more closely resembles a Velociraptor vanity Rex if it still
looks like t-rex then joiners early concept art would have been a good
source it's incredibly detailed arguably a much more complex design than what
ended up in the final cut the timing of joiners release of the
concept part it's somewhat peculiar but likely unrelated to any designs that
will be seen in fallen Kingdom Joyner is not known to be working on any art
related to the sequel so it's unlikely that as endo Mimas concept had any
effect on any future artwork for the franchise it's curious that joiners
striking design was so far from the more muted final look of indominus in
jurassic world there could be a fallen kingdom trailer in November but there's
still little known about the new film it remains to be seen whether it will
evolve visually with its new monster

What is forest farming? - Duration: 4:21.
Forest farming to me is growing useful plants of all types whether it be edible, primarily
medicinal in a forest canopy.
So in a forest canopy, you have levels of plants growing.
So for me it's what's on the earth on the lower level - the ephemerals, the things that
grow in shade.
A lot of forest farms have openings for sunlight so we do some of our sun growing plants in
those areas.
Well I think forest farming to me, I've been a forest, as I mentioned earlier, I've been
a forest gardener for years and for me, it's an extension of that.
I haven't had a whole lot of land before to work with, I mean small, very small plots
of land.
So forest farming has, having this piece of property has opened that up for me to larger
stretches of land and it really comes down to growing things that I've played with and
tried over the years and then creating some type of sustainable crop of things that we
then can take to market and use as a source of income.
I think that's important.
So many of our woodland natives have been sacrificed for the sake of money to the detriment
of their survival rate.
So sustainability to me is a big issue.
Well for us forest farming is a way to use the wooded parts of our property in a way
that is more than just growing wood, fiber, or lumber.
It's just a way to use our...our property is sixty to seventy percent wooded and that's
true for a lot of the properties in Floyd county and so if we want to do something besides
lumber or wood production and we want to use our whole property, forest farming is a way
to do that, and it could be growing medicinals, mushrooms, different edibles, crafts, um we
haven't gotten into that but we've definitely gotten into the medicinals and the edibles
in particular.
And we also like the idea of perennial farming as opposed to annual farming.
Yeah, absolutely.
Perennial farming is our approach to the whole property, even the open areas.
My name is John Munsell and I'm the director of the Appalachian Beginning Forest Farming
Coalition and forest farming to me is an Agroforestry practice that focuses on the sustainable and
intentional cultivation of plants and fungi that grow in woodlands and it's co-managed
with the other components of a forestland such that those plants and fungi can be grown
to source existing markets with raw material while also managing for other aspects of a
healthy forest.
So what is typically forest farmed is called a non-timber forest product, or NTFP.
You may have heard that term NTFPs.
That is anything that grows in a forest that has some value, some purpose, some use, that
is not associated with a timber product.
Examples include roots, herbal supplements from a medicinal standpoint, fungi such as
shiitake mushrooms, things that we can eat.
Also things that we use to provide pleasant settings to decorate our tables - vines and
flowers and any other materials that are used to create handicrafts for sale.
So anything drawn from the forest that has a market value or personal value that is not
associated with timber and the focus of forest farming is on the sustainable cultivation
of those NTFPs over time.

BBC 6 Minute English - What can't computers do? - Duration: 6:19.
Welcome to 6 Minute English, where we bring you an intelligent topic and six related items
of vocabulary.
I'm Neil.
And I'm Tim.
And today we're talking about AI – or Artificial Intelligence.
Artificial Intelligence is the ability of machines to copy human intelligent behaviour
– for example, an intelligent machine can learn from its own mistakes, and make decisions
based on what's happened in the past.
There's a lot of talk about AI these days, Neil, but it's still just science fiction,
isn't it?
That's not true – AI is everywhere.
Machine thinking is in our homes, offices, schools and hospitals.
Computer algorithms are helping us drive our cars.
They're diagnosing what's wrong with us in hospitals.
They're marking student essays…
They're telling us what to read on our smartphones…
Well, that really does sound like science fiction – but it's happening already,
you say, Neil?
It's definitely happening, Tim.
And an algorithm, by the way, is a set of steps a computer follows in order to solve
a problem.
So can you tell me what was the name of the computer which famously beat world chess champion
Garry Kasparov using algorithms in 1997?
Was it… a) Hal,
b) Alpha 60 or c) Deep Blue?
I'll say Deep Blue.
Although I'm just guessing.
Was it an educated guess, Tim?
I know a bit about chess…
An educated guess is based on knowledge and experience and is therefore likely to be correct.
Well, we'll find out later on how educated your guess was in this case, Tim!
Indeed.
But getting back to AI and what machines can do – are they any good at solving real-life
problems?
Computers think in zeros and ones don't they?
That sounds like a pretty limited language when it comes to life experience!
You would be surprised to what those zeroes and ones can do, Tim.
Although you're right that AI does have its limitations at the moment.
And if something has limitations there's a limit on what it can do or how good it can
be.
OK – well now might be a good time to listen to Zoubin Bharhramani, Professor of Information
Engineering at the University of Cambridge and deputy director of the Leverhulme Centre
for the Future of Intelligence.
He's talking about what limitations AI has at the moment.
I think it's very interesting how many of the things that we take for granted – we
humans take for granted – as being sort of things we don't even think about like
how do we walk, how do we reach, how do we recognize our mother.
You know, all these things.
When you start to think how to implement them on a computer, you realize that it's those
things that are incredibly difficult to get computers to do, and that's where the current
cutting edge of research is.
If we take something for granted we don't realise how important something is.
You sometimes take me for granted, I think, Neil.
No – I never take you for granted, Tim!
You're far too important for that!
Good to hear!
So things we take for granted are doing every day tasks like walking, picking something
up, or recognizing somebody.
We implement – or perform – these things without thinking – Whereas it's cutting
edge research to try and program a machine to do them.
Cutting edge means very new and advanced.
It's interesting isn't it, that over ten years ago a computer beat a chess grand master
– but the same computer would find it incredibly difficult to pick up a chess piece.
I know.
It's very strange.
But now you've reminded me that we need the answer to today's question.
Which was: What was the name of the computer who famously beat world chess champion Garry
Kasparov in 1997?
Now, you said Deep Blue, Tim, and … that was the right answer!
You see, my educated guess was based on knowledge and experience!
Or maybe you were just lucky.
So, the IBM supercomputer Deep Blue played against US world chess champion Garry Kasparov
in two chess matches.
The first match was played in Philadelphia in 1996 and was won by Kasparov.
The second was played in New York City in 1997 and won by Deep Blue.
The 1997 match was the first defeat of a reigning world chess champion by a computer under tournament
conditions.
Let's go through the words we learned today.
First up was 'artificial intelligence' or AI – the ability of machines to copy
human intelligent behaviour.
"There are AI programs that can write poetry."
Do you have any examples you can recite?
Afraid I don't!
Number two – an algorithm is a set of steps a computer follows in order to solve a problem.
For example, "Google changes its search algorithm hundreds of times every year."
The adjective is algorithmic – for example, "Google has made many algorithmic changes."
Number three – if something has 'limitations' – there's a limit on what it can do or
how good it can be.
"Our show has certain limitations – for example, it's only six minutes long!"
That's right – there's only time to present six vocabulary items.
Short but sweet!
And very intelligent, too.
OK, the next item is 'take something for granted' – which is when we don't realise
how important something is.
"We take our smart phones for granted these days – but before 1995 hardly anyone owned
one."
Number five – 'to implement' – means to perform a task, or take action.
"Neil implemented some changes to the show."
The final item is 'cutting edge' – new and advanced – "This software is cutting
edge."
"The software uses cutting edge technology."
OK – that's all we have time for on today's cutting edge show.
But please check out our Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages.
Bye-bye!
Goodbye!

WHAT WOULD BRUCE WILLIS DO!? How To Have Tough Conversations - Duration: 18:46.
So in my early entrepreneurial days I had started this newsletter or newspaper
around personal development essentially I wanted something positive for people
up there that they could read that isn't doom and gloom and all the sort of
negative news and hysteria and all that sort of stuff and so in this process I
learned a lot about myself and about people and I remember distinctly this
one story where I was meeting with I want to say a gentleman but he was more
like a piece of garbage so I was meeting with this piece of garbage and the
meeting was set up on the pretext of them buying advertising in the paper I
didn't know a lot about what they were doing kind of what their interest was
but I had met someone who worked for him at this networking event and she had
said you know your paper sounds great it's perfect for us why don't you come
and meet with me and the owner and we'll just essentially finalize the details
that's at least how it felt like to me that is not exactly how it happened so a
couple things happened here I was going to this meeting and in true young ENFP
fashion I was late so I actually I got their own time but I was running there I
had a winter coat on so by the time I got there I was sweating I was stressed
I was anxious not a good start and one of the things I'm going to talk about
later in this video is the importance of planning when it comes to talking about
money negotiations charging clients all that
sort of stuff so I get to this meeting and I'm already sort of stressed just
from being late there and we get into the conversation and very quickly he
takes charge it turns out one of the things he taught was a negotiation and
not in like a nice both people win way that I might but in a how to steal
people's homes when they're going broke you know how to take advantage of people
sort of negotiation I didn't know that at the time I learnt it quite quickly so
we're going through our meeting and basically he asks a lot of questions
that bring me down highlight that insecurity I had right putting me in a
state where I was feeling more and more nervous about my business more and more
insecure and and he switched it around where
basically he proposed that he would get free not Artic not sorry
advertisements but he would get free articles in the paper so he would write
articles that would be essentially self promotional and put those in the paper
and then maybe maybe if they got a lot of results he might look to spend some
money and advertise and in this state I was so uncomfortable with being
uncomfortable with confrontation with negotiation and I was feeling such so
low in that state that I actually went along with it and I left that meeting
and I felt really bad like right as I was walking home from this meeting I was
feeling pretty terrible and I was thinking about it
and I realized you know what it basically happened that I had totally
given away part of my business essentially that I'd been taken
advantage of and it was my own fault because of how I took myself into that
meeting and that may be a feeling that you're familiar with it may be something
that you're trying to avoid but I want to go through some of my lessons from
that meeting but more generally talk about money like how do you talk about
money with your clients how do you deal with difficult conversations and that
feeling that maybe you're not worth what you are worth where you're uncomfortable
with charging the right amount or getting money for your services and just
go into all that so it's gonna be a bit of a longer video but I'm gonna try to
make it as comprehensive as possible and so it will cover everything you need to
know to address this area of your life and business and of course if this is a
problem for you in your business then I think it's probably worth spending 20-30
minutes here to get it dealt with because that will have a huge positive
impact for you so when it comes to issues talking about
money there's different opinions on why we have it you know you go to a
therapist and they probably say well as a child you might have seen your mother
giving the mailman some money and those caused some issues for you right you
might hear some personal development speakers talk about it's because you
don't value yourself enough and you should just charge $20,000 for
everything you do no matter what because you're the best
I don't think either of those approaches are that helpful the therapy approach of
looking at her childhood sure that's probably related to it but not that
helpful really to reflect on it at this point and the personal development
approach of just charge a buttload of money in my own experience it doesn't
work that well because on an unconscious level you don't really believe it yet or
what happens is you end up charging way more than you should and you're not
actually providing enough value so in the economy of things that doesn't work
out well for your business right because ultimately what you should aim for when
you're charging is the right amount of value for what you're giving your client
so if you're good at what you do you're delivering good results you should be
charging a lot not an insane amount but you should be charging roughly the fair
amount maybe the fair amount plus 20% extra you know for your hard work and so
that's the goal of where we want to get my theory is one of the main problems
that holds back a lot of people especially my wonderful YouTube fans
here is around discomfort with confrontation is around avoiding
difficult conversations that ultimately comes down to what motivates us and
you're a really empathetic person you can feel that vibe in a conversation of
a difficult question or difficult topics and if you're like on the myers-briggs
personality type if you're in an f-type you probably have a very high sense of
empathy and you can read a room very well right so you know that it's a bit
uncomfortable to maybe address money or do this and if you're pushing someone in
a certain way so asking for money for instance your sense of empathy might
actually mess with you there where it makes it uncomfortable and that makes
you uncomfortable so you just avoid the whole conversation which is cool until
you're homeless and having to go back to some crummy job or something like that
it's better to deal with that issue and get comfortable getting paid the funny
thing is is most people in business do not have this discomfort so if it's
something where you're uncomfortable with it actually creates
more problems it leads to not discussing a money issue when you should which will
lead to you maybe resent in your client or delivering subpar work because you
feel like you're being underpaid and then you're delivering worse work so why
would anyone ever pay you more be you know you can see where this goes right
there's a few practical steps you can take
ultimately dealing with uncomfort and just getting used to talking about money
I think is the solution here because it becomes like a muscle you build it you
get used to it it becomes easier and easier first thing that you can do with
this you know in the movies I've recently been watching this show Burn
Notice it's like my weird it's a ten year old or five year old show that I
just picked up and I watch when I want to watch something and they explain a
lot about the spy world for you and one of the things they explain is if you're
dealing with a transfer so for instance you're negotiating a kidnapping with
someone or you're bringing them the package and they're bringing you the
money you want to have ideally control of the location the meet point and you
also want to scout it out first get there ahead of time know all the entry
entrances the exits are there gonna be people around figure all that out you
want to control where things go down well the same thing is going to apply
with negotiating with clients right so if you are really uncomfortable talking
on the phone about money you know talking face-to-face that's something we
want to deal with them we're gonna get to those in the later bits of advice
here but initially then to help you control where you do that negotiation
when you're on a consultation call and you should always get on the phone with
people don't do business by just email but on that call say hey I don't I don't
go into the details of pricing on this call I take my notes I step away and I
figure out the right amount for the project and then I'll send you a
proposal by email that way you can step away and you don't have to fight that
discomfort head-on if you are someone who has a lot of trouble with dealing
with you know talk about money that kind of thing
then at least it's what I've even found with myself
in the past is I would actually lower my price like I would go into a sales
meeting and think okay I will charge $3,000 for this and then I would feel my
nerves co during the call and I might say it's $2,000 and just like what did i
do why did I just randomly drop it it was because I wasn't comfortable with
that discomfort and with that conversation so find the location
basically take control of where the meeting will happen and where you will
plan or start where you will bring up price and that will give you a lot more
power to be comfortable with it same thing goes in general to taking charge
of the sales process so if you just get on a call with a potential client and
say hey like what's up what are we doing they're gonna say how much you charge
how much does it cost blah blah blah and you're gonna get into
that awkward conversation if you take charge so you get on the call and you
say alright great so we have about 45 minutes here what I like to do in these
first meetings is get to know you really well as a client so can I ask you a few
questions about your business and get to know you better
and they'll say sure then you lead the way you run that interaction and you
don't have to worry about it being taken into areas where you're not yet
comfortable second thing here is to step away so this is most relevant in person
if you're dealing with this but it can also apply on a Skype call or a phone
call I've had meetings like this I told the story earlier right about this
really uncomfortable meeting what I should have done is said hey I just got
to run to the washroom and go to the washroom and get my head on straight
right you go you do a little pump up speech for yourself maybe you just shake
it out a little when we get in the state of like nervousness and anxiety it
changes how we can think it changes our bodies and stepping away just for a
minute if you're on a Skype call with the client say hey I just need to go
grab a glass of water or you know use the bathroom whatever you want to say it
that's your decision do that step aside to the other room
move your body a lot shake it out refocus on your plan
come back so being okay to step away and having that plant say to yourself before
the meeting okay if I start feeling really anxious now I'm going to say I
need to go get some water and step away and then come back refreshed and
refocused and have that plan before you go into the call because once you're
feeling all nervous and awkward about it you're not going to have sort of the
capacity in terms of your thoughts to actually think to step away third thing
is being comfortable with confrontation being comfortable with asking for what
you want it's a muscle like so many things in how we behave right it's a
pattern we get used to so if every time in your life when you've had a
confrontation maybe it's from having an overbearing parent maybe it's from you
know being bullied in school where if you stood up like you've got used to not
standing up for yourself that's got wired into your brain and there's a
cliche in the self-help world but it's actually one of those true cliches which
is how you do anything is how you do everything and so if you have this
pattern in your life of avoiding confrontation that pattern is going to
keep showing up and so changing that one way to do it is through fun and awkward
activities that you can do to basically get more comfortable being uncomfortable
the 4-hour workweek Tim Ferriss book addresses this I think he has four or
five comfort challenges and it's funny because it's a business book primarily
it's kind of a business and change your life type book yet it works in these
different activities and I think that's because he knows that if you're not
comfortable having difficult conversations and having these kind of
tough things like with your boss or with clients or whatever it is then none of
the advice matters right he can tell you or I can tell you okay this is how you
negotiate this is how you price your services this is what you should be
offering your clients but if you're not okay doing that because you're scared
say no or you're scared you'll offend them or you don't even know what you're
scared of you just feel really nervous and uncomfortable about it then none of
the other stuff matters right so a few activities you can do for this one that
I like is to go into well it could be a Starbucks or something
Starbucks is the best because they have ridiculous customer service so they can
never say no to you basically practice so there's two things you can do with it
one is complain about your beverage or your food now I wouldn't recommend doing
this just for no reason so make it a point that if you're actually not happy
you will always complain make that a rule for yourself to basically stand up
for yourself the other thing that I like the thought of to do is go to a
restaurant somewhere and make it like you're tipping so let's say the bill is
four dollars and seventy cents give them five dollars and say thank you and most
countries most cultures they will accept that as a tip they will take that 30
cents then go back to them and ask for your 30 cents back awkward right it's
gonna be uncomfortable right exactly if you can do that you'll be able to
talk about money with your clients there's more activities on this if
there's interest share your ideas for this below there's a bunch of others one
from the 4-hour workweek is to go into like a coffee shop and just lie on the
floor for one minute make it clear you're not dead like have
your eyes open so just lie there and if people ask what are you doing just
feeling nothing just lying here other things to do would be like to maintain
eye contact so you know when you're walking down the street and you see a
stranger you never be the first person to break the eye contact and you don't
have to take these for your whole life try it for 24 or 48 hours if I think of
some more I'll share them below in the comments as well but the point of these
is just to get used to having that uncomfortable conversation right in ways
that are in situations that do matter you know the tipping thing I said
you can always go back and give them the tip after if you want right you don't
have to take it and then you might be saying yourself well I'm so worried
about my reputation well then go back and tip them again after get your 30
cents go back to minutes later and give them a dollar and say sorry I just
needed that change for parking whatever it's getting comfortable with the
conversation the more you can do it in other parts of your life the more it
will be easy for you in the business side of things in dealing with clients
negotiations all that now you might have noticed at a few points me wearing this
wristband here rubber band and wondered about it and let me take you back
because this actually relates the story I told earlier about this meeting so
after that meeting with the client we got I went home and I was talking to my
roommate or flatmate at the time person I shared an apartment with and he you
know we're talking about it and how I was basically feeling like I got pushed
around and stuff and he said to me out of the blue you know what would Bruce
Willis do that is a good question and at the time there was this I don't
know if it was a phase or fad or whatever it was of people having what
would Jesus do bracelets and as much as Jesus could be a great role model for
many people there are times when you might find yourself trapped in an
airport trapped in a high-rise building with an unidentified number of vaguely
Eastern European terrors or perhaps in a business meeting with someone who's a
bit of an ass and trying to push you around and in those moments you don't
really want to be walking on water you got to be walking on glass it's not
about turning water into wine it's about turning some homemade chemicals into
explosives you can use to defeat the terrors and in that case this is where
what would Bruce Willis do come in and this I've had for about a decade now and
it is served as a reminder to stand up for myself in those kind of situations
and so I will do another video about role models and this concept from NLP
called modeling and how you can use that with your business as well
but quickly here that's where this came from is remembering you know what would
someone who stands up for themselves it doesn't take any garbage from anyone
what would they do and you know what would Bruce Willis do so the next time

Take our "What the HF" Quiz - Message from Queen Latifah - Duration: 1:56.
(soft music)
Since her diagnosis, my mom and I have come
such a long way managing her heart failure.
I'm so proud of the work we've done
with Rise Above HF to educate people on what HF even is.
But no matter how far we've come,
we still have a lot of work to do.
Even though nearly one million new patients
are diagnosed with HF each year,
and more than a million are hospitalized,
many still don't know what HF is.
Or how to recognize the signs or symptoms.
This fires me up and makes me ask what the HF?
Here's the good news, you can do something about it.
Yes you, raise your hand and ask what the HF?
What the HF is a fun interactive quiz
that tests your HF IQ and helps you learn
about this chronic, progressive, yet manageable condition.
Knowing about HF and its signs and symptoms
can help create much needed awareness
around this serious condition.
Go to RiseAboveHF.org to test your HF smarts.
But here's the thing, to really make an impact
and to help the one in five Americans
who will develop HF in their lifetime,
we need everyone to test their HF IQ and spread the word.
I'm gonna share this quiz with my family and friends
and encourage them to ask what the HF?
Can you do the same?
Together we can rise above heart failure.

What Is Bullying? - Duration: 0:56.
Bullying is not just any mean behavior. It's when someone keeps being mean to
someone else on purpose. "Can I please play with you?" "No! Go away!" and the person
it's happening to hasn't been able to make it stop.
"I'm scared he'll be even meaner to me if I tell him to cut it out." It's unfair and
one-sided. Bullying is not limited to physical behavior. It also includes
verbal insults, threats, teasing, gossiping, and social exclusion. All of which can
happen both in person and electronically. Bullying can happen almost anywhere and
it has serious consequences. "How do you stop this?" The good news is, there's a lot
we can do to address the problem. Nationwide efforts have led to a decline
in bullying, but we still have a long way to go. We invite you to join us and help
prevent bullying.
