Every year, millions of people are infected with diseases you've probably never heard
of.
There's tons of media coverage about things like malaria, Zika, and HIV — all of which
pose serious threats to public health.
But there are many more diseases out there that are just as deadly -- yet not as infamous.
They're called neglected tropical diseases, or NTDs, because historically they haven't
been paid as much attention as other diseases, and they mainly affect people in tropical
areas.
But these days, global healthcare initiatives are paying attention to them -- working to
find ways to prevent and treat these diseases.
The deadliest NTD — caused by the second-deadliest parasite in the world, after malaria's — is
schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever.
It's caused by a parasitic worm, called schistosoma, that's transmitted through
water that's been contaminated with the parasite's eggs.
The parasites use certain kinds of snails in the water as hosts, to grow and multiply.
Eventually, the parasites' larvae are released into the water, and that's when anyone who
comes in contact with the water is at risk, because the larvae can burrow through the
skin.
Infected people often don't have symptoms for the first month or two, though they can
sometimes end up with a rash or other symptoms like fever, aches, and a cough.
Symptoms are much more common later on, once the larvae have grown into adults and laid
eggs.
That's when the infection is considered chronic.
But the symptoms of chronic schistosomiasis aren't caused by the full-grown worms — the
worms can actually incorporate proteins from the host to trick the immune system into ignoring
them.
It's the eggs that cause an incredibly strong immune response, which can strike almost anywhere:
the intestines, the lungs, the bloodstream, even the brain.
So schistosomiasis can cause all kinds of symptoms, from diarrhea to wheezing to seizures.
More than 200 million people have schistosomiasis right now, and about 200,000 people die from
it every year.
The main way to treat it is to prevent it: if people are regularly given a drug called
praziquantel, even if they don't have the disease, they're less likely to develop
a severe infection later on.
But the best way to protect people in the long term is to make sure communities have
access to sanitation and safe drinking water, to stop the parasite from spreading.
Another neglected tropical disease is Chagas disease.
It's most prevalent in Central and South America, where about 8 million people have
the infection, and about 10,000 die from it every year.
Chagas is caused by a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, a single-celled protozoan.
The parasite spreads through the feces of infected insects, often known as kissing bugs.
Usually, the parasite enters the body through mucous membranes — like in the eyes and
mouth — or through broken skin, when someone scratches a kissing bug bite.
The best time to treat the disease is just a few days after infection, but most people
don't show any symptoms for weeks.
And even in those who do, the symptoms are pretty mild and nonspecific — like fever,
a rash, and diarrhea.
And then something frightening happens: After this initial phase, Chagas infection usually
goes dormant -- for years.
After as much as a decade or two, about 30% of infected people then develop chronic, life-threatening
symptoms — including swelling of the heart, or the intestinal tract.
So, prevention and early detection are very important here.
But as with other NTDs, it often affects people who don't have easy access to healthcare.
Fortunately, efforts are underway to help those at risk, mainly with the help of insecticides.
If you kill the bugs, they can't spread the disease.
Then there's African trypanosomiasis, otherwise known as African sleeping sickness, which
affects parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
Like Chagas, this disease is caused by parasites carried by insects — in this case, by the
bite of the tsetse fly.
In the first phase of sleeping sickness, the parasite reaches the peripheral nervous system
— the nerves that aren't part of the brain or spinal cord.
Here, symptoms include things like fever, joint pain, and itching, which can be caused
by lots of different things.
So — again like Chagas — sleeping sickness is hard to diagnose at first.
But symptoms become more severe when the parasite invades the central nervous system — the
brain and spinal cord.
Then, it can cause convulsions, confusion, and the symptom that gives the disease its
name: uncontrollable sleepiness.
If left untreated, sleeping sickness can be fatal.
But it is treatable with combined medications, even in the second stage.
And initiatives to treat sleeping sickness have become more and more successful in recent
decades.
In 1995, there were an estimated 300,000 new cases of African sleeping sickness.
But since then, health organizations have been working on testing people for the disease
and getting treatment to those who need it.
They've also been using insecticides to kill tsetse flies.
By 2014, there were fewer than 15,000 new cases of sleeping sickness.
There are lots of other NTDs out there as well.
But they aren't being neglected anymore, either, and that's making a big difference.

Du Bois & Race Conflict: Crash Course Sociology #7 - Duration: 10:40.
Two bachelor degrees. PhD from Harvard University.
Two-year fellowship to study in Berlin.
Professor of sociology and history at two different universities.
Author of countless books.
Activist and co-founder of a key civil rights organization.
Editor and co-founder of a magazine.
And a poet to boot. Pretty good resume, yeah?
What if I make it a bit more impressive?
That PhD from Harvard?
First Harvard PhD granted to an African American.
The civil rights organization?
The NAACP.
That magazine?
The Crisis, the longest running black publication in the United States, in print since 1910.
This resume belongs to William Edward Burghardt DuBois, whom you might know better as W.E.B. Dubois.
He was one of the earliest American sociologists, as well as one of the first proponents of race-conflict theory.
And his studies of the lives of African Americans during the Jim Crow era of American history
– and the oppression they faced – are the cornerstones of how sociologists study race.
[Theme Music]
W.E.B. Dubois was born in a small town in Massachusetts in 1868.
1868 – that's five years after the Emancipation Proclamation.
Three years after the end of the American Civil War.
And the same year that the 14th amendment was passed.
At this time, race was considered a biological construct.
Slavery, and later the Jim Crow laws – laws in the South that enforced racial segregation
– were framed as natural consequences of the supposed, natural inferiority of Blacks to Whites.
We, of course, now know that this was not just wrong, but deeply harmful.
And more than that – the idea that race itself is a purely biological, immutable quality is also understood today as being simply untrue.
Instead, race is thought of as a socially constructed category of people, who share biological traits that society has deemed important.
Yes, human beings vary a lot in how we look – our skin color, our facial features, our body shapes, our hair texture.
But those visual markers only become a "race" when members of society decide that specific markers constitute a specific racial group.
This is why the concept of race often changes, across cultures and times.
For example, when Dubois was alive, Irish and Italian Americans weren't considered 'white,' either.
But today, try telling some Boston Southie guy or an Italian grandma from Pittsburgh that they're not white.
See what they say.
Did something change about Irish and Italian Americans biologically?
Of course not. It's how society saw them that changed.
And it's that last bit – what race a person is seen as, and how they're treated as a result –
that ends up being a huge determinant of a person's social outcomes.
Dubois began to consider his race as a part of his identity, when he moved to the South to go to college, and then spent several years in Europe.
He saw how differently black people were treated in different places, and was disillusioned about how Americans treated him based on his skin color.
He can describe this disillusionment much better than I can:
"One ever feels his twoness," he wrote, "an American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two warring id."
This quote reveals a really critical underlying thread in much of Dubois' work – the idea of double-consciousness.
Dubois argued that there are two competing identities as a Black American – seeing one's self as an American and seeing one's self as a Black person while living in white-centric America.
Living as a member of a non-dominant race, he said, creates a fracture in your sense of identity within that society.
These feelings are what fueled Dubois' work, which focused on the disparities and conflicts between people of different races – what we now call race-conflict theory.
Today, questions of race and identity are studied by sociologists who work on racial identity theory, which looks at how individuals come to identify as a certain race.
Dubois didn't only research racial identity, though –
he also looked at the everyday lives of black and white Americans and wrote extensively about how and why their lives differed so drastically in post-slavery America.
Let's go to the Thought Bubble to look at one of Dubois' early studies of these disparities.
In 1896, the University of Pennsylvania hired Dubois to do a survey on Black communities in Philadelphia.
His work eventually became 'The Philadelphia Negro,' the first published study of the living conditions of African Americans.
Dubois went knocking on doors, asking people questions about themselves and their families.
And there were an awful lot of doors.
All told, Dubois collected data on 9,675 African Americans.
He focused on one specific ward of Philly – the 7th ward, a historically Black neighborhood that attracted families of all classes, from doctors and teachers, to the poor and destitute.
He sat in thousands of parlors, asking questions about age, gender, education, literacy, occupations,
earnings, crime, and documented the ways in which African-Americans differed from Philly's white residents.
For example, the Black population turned out to be much younger than the White population and had a higher proportion of women.
It also had lower literacy rates, higher rates of poverty and crime, and a higher concentration of workers in the service industry than in manufacturing or trade.
Mortality rates were higher, as was the frequency of illness.
But here's what made Dubois' report especially unique:
He concluded that much of the dysfunction within Black communities came from their inferior access to things like education and more lucrative jobs.
The reason that the black population had higher rates of death and illness, he said, was because of occupational hazards, and poverty, and less access to health care.
It's hard to express just how radical Dubois' conclusions were at the time.
The problems in black communities were not due to racial inferiority, Dubois argued, but to racial prejudice.
And that was completely different from how many Americans thought at the time.
Thanks Thought Bubble.
So, race doesn't exist in a vacuum.
It doesn't just imbue you with certain essential qualities.
Instead, race matters because of the power that society gives it.
For another example, let's stick with Philly and use the labor unions there in the 1890s.
Because of prejudice against Black workers, and beliefs about their abilities and morals,
trade labor unions didn't allow Black workers to join.
And because they couldn't join unions, many Black workers couldn't get manufacturing or trade work – which paid much better than service work.
And because they couldn't get these jobs, Black communities had more men out of work,
higher rates of poverty, and more criminal behavior.
Which then allowed the white workers and unions to justify their decision to not allow black workers into their union.
The prevailing beliefs about race and racism ultimately reinforced themselves.
This is what's now known as racial formation theory, a theory formalized by modern sociologists Michael Omi and Howard Winant.
Racial formation refers to the process through which social, political, and economic forces influence how a society defines racial categories –
and how those racial categories in turn end up shaping those forces.
Omi and Winant argue that the concept of race came about as a tool to justify and maintain the economic and political power held by those of European descent.
Another modern look at these issues can be seen in the work of sociologist William Julius Wilson.
He explores why Black and White Americans tend to have such different outcomes in terms of income, education, and more.
And he argues that class, not race, is the determining factor for many Black Americans.
But the reasons that these class gaps exist to begin with, come from the structural disadvantages that date back to Dubois' time.
Dubois continued to research the ways in which prejudice, segregation, and lack of access to education and jobs were holding back African Americans.
A strong advocate of education and of challenging Jim Crow laws, he clashed with another leading black intellectual of the time, Booker T. Washington, who advocated compromise with the predominantly white political system.
Over time, DuBois grew frustrated with the limits of scholarship in affecting change,
so he turned to direct activism and political writing.
In 1909, he co-founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or the NAACP, and was the editor and intellectual driving force behind its magazine, The Crisis.
The NAACP fought against lynching, segregation of schools, voting disenfranchisement, and much more.
It used journalism as one of its most powerful tools, publishing the records of thousands of lynchings over a thirty year period.
And it used lawsuits, targeting voter disenfranchisement and school segregation in decade-long court battles.
And, after DuBois' time, it went on to become part of many of the landmark moments in the fight for civil rights,
including the Brown vs. Board of Education case, the Montgomery Bus Boycott and the March on Washington.
Modern sociologists continue Dubois' work on racial politics, asking the question:
How is race intertwined with political power, and the institutional structures within a society?
Sociologist Eduardo Bonilla-Silva, for example, argues that we now have what he calls "racism without racists."
What he means is: Explicitly racist views have become less socially acceptable, so fewer people are willing to say that they don't think Black and White Americans should have equal rights.
But, as Bonilla-Silva points out, that doesn't mean racism is a thing of the past.
Instead, he says, structural racism – the kind that's entrenched in political and legal structures – still holds back the progress of racial minorities.
Take, for example, the fact that the median wealth of white Americans is 13 times higher than the median wealth of black Americans.
Now, you could look at that and say, well, black people just aren't as good at saving as white people.
After all, it's not like there's anything legally preventing them from making or saving more money.
But that completely ignores the ways in which wealth builds up over generations.
Past generations of Black Americans were unable to build wealth, because they had far less access to higher incomes, banking services, and housing.
These ideas about how the structures of power interact with race may have their origins in Dubois' work, but they continue today.
And so do his studies of racial resistance.
Researchers of racial resistance ask: How do different racial groups challenge and change the structures of power?
Sometimes racial resistance is easy to see in society.
Think the Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s, or Black Lives Matter today.
But sociologists can also look at more subtle forms of resistance, too, like resistance against racial ideas and stereotypes.
For example, sociologist Patricia Hill Collins has written about the different relationships that black and white women have had with marriage and staying home to raise a family.
In the feminist movement of the 1960s and 70s, one of its key issues was the exclusion of women from the workforce.
Entering the workforce was seen as a form of resistance.
But Black women have, for most of American history, been forced to work, or needed to work to help support their families.
For them, Collins argues, joining the workforce is not resistance.
Instead, staying at home to care for their families can be an act of resistance against society's expectations for Black women.
All of these modern fields of study within race-conflict theory – racial identity,
racial formation, racial politics, and racial resistance – they all have their origins in the work of one sociologist: W.E.B. Dubois.
Today we talked about W.E.B. Dubois, one of the founders of sociological thought and the founder of race-conflict theory.
We talked about race and how our understanding of how we define race has changed over time.
We talked about Dubois' idea of 'double-consciousness' and how it relates to the modern day field of racial identity.
We introduced the idea of racial formation and used Dubois' survey of African Americans in Philadelphia to look at how economic, political, and social structures affect how we perceive different races – and vice versa.
And finally, we looked at the activist side of Dubois' life as co-founder of the NAACP and editor of the Crisis, and discussed how modern day sociologists study racial politics and racial resistance.
Next time, we'll take a look at some of the sociologists who were at the forefront of a different type of conflict theory: gender-conflict theory.

North Korea's Failed Launch: VICE News Tonight on HBO (Full Segment) - Duration: 5:43.
This weekend, North Korea celebrated the "Day of the Sun,"
a national holiday marking the birthday of the country's founder,
Kim Il-sung, grandfather of Kim Jong-un.
The occasion is used to parade North Korea's highly-synchronized soldiers and latest weaponry,
and very few foreign journalists are invited…
…but we were.
— It's been an eventful weekend in Pyongyang.
At 4 a.m. on Saturday, we were loaded into a van
and driven to Kim Il-sung Square, in the heart of the city.
— Are you worried about the event of war?
— Choe Ryong Hae, one of Kim Jong-un's closest confidantes, addressed the crowd.
Kim Jong-un looked on approvingly.
— The march took place at one of the tensest moments in years between the U.S. and North Korea.
The U.S. Navy's Carl Vinson Strike Group was approaching the peninsula,
and satellite photos had suggested an imminent North Korean nuclear test.
— The following morning, thanks to emails from the outside world,
we found out the nuclear test hadn't happened.
But while we were at the parade,
the North Korean military were preparing a medium-range missile test
off the country's eastern coast.
According to the U.S. military,
the missile "fizzled out" shortly after launch.
Some analysts are claiming it could have been sabotaged by U.S. cyber warfare.
We continued our strictly-controlled press trip,
and were politely asked to avoid the topic of the failed launch.

Here, we learn something new about skateboarding 3 times a week, on Mondays Wednesdays and
Fridays.
Stuff like trick histories, game reviews, and learning tricks in the Shred School.
In my research, I've come across a lot of really weird products that have been made
for skateboarders over the years.
For the sake of this video, these gimmicks are random skate products that don't really
do anything useful, or were at least way overblown.
A good example is my first one, the Skate wing.
Just look at this thing!
Can you imagine carrying this thing around?
You'd have to carry it in the back of your truck and dump it out in the street.
The Skate wing is an Australian invention.
Apparently they made them out of wood, but later made plastic too.
Probably because the price was too high.
They're apparently also known for getting a lot of stress cracks because of the weird
shape.
It was designed by a yacht racer.
For some reason.
It's 33 inches long and 30 inches wide.
It's got skids and even RAILS on it, as if you'll be doing boards slides on this thing!
Can you believe that?
So it's got handles and extra wheels on the sides.
I guess you can crouch down and carve so hard that you tip over.
It might be fun for about 10 minutes or so.
That's not the only weird specialty board either.
How about this one?
The Wheelee board.
It's got this super long kicktail with a third truck on it.
And then, of course, a little third anti-kicktail at the end of that.
So what's the point?
Spinning 360s, supposedly.
They already make special steel wheels for spinning 360s.
But at least you can swap those out when you're done.
This thing you have to live with looking like that.
Oh, and you can do 'power turns', whatever that means.
But it comes textured, so you don't need grip tape, which is nice.
Next up is bridge bolts.
They clip over your deck and take the place of 2 bolts each.
I have no idea why.
It saves you, what?
1 second each when you set up a board.
Apparently some people set them up sideways so they'd catch more on ollies and give you
more air, but that doesn't seem to be their purpose.
I couldn't tell exactly what they were for.
It seems like it would do nothing but get in the way.
By the way, notice the doubled holes on the nose here.
That's an adjustable wheelbase.
I wouldn't call that a gimmick because it was helpful for making the board adaptable
for street and vert.
You could choose one set of holes or the other.
Next is lappers, which were actually really popular.
You might have heard about them before and wondered what they were.
Here's a picture.
They're these really weird plastic sliders that cover up the kingpin and the rest of
the hanger.
The idea is, on lipslides or disasters, you're less likely to hang up because they'll ease
you back into the transition.
I'm sure it would help every now and then, but they encourage bad style where you can
just kind of flop in and put, and they add a bit of needless weight to your setup.
I saw an interview with a pro from back then, I don't remember who, and when he stopped
using them, he said he never got why he started in the first place.
They were pointless.
I have two more weird truck add-ons for you.
First is copers.
They're just plastic covers for the grinding surface of your trucks.
A lot of this stuff would have helped make your board last longer, but man.
One of the most satisfying things about skating is grinding stuff.
Forcing your board to grind along the concrete or whatever.
And it sounds awesome too.
But copers ruin all of that.
Plus, again, they add weight.
So what's the point?
The other one is z rollers.
Kind of the same thing, but built in, and metal.
They had these rollers that would actually roll along the coping.
Again, these must have felt horrible, like screeching rusty grinds.
At the same time these weird things were popular, Grind King invented inverted kingpins, and
guess what?
They didn't catch on for a long time.
That's just the start of the protective gear though.
Of course there are tail skids, nose guards and rails, which I get.
The nose guard is weird, but I don't think it's too crazy.
But did you know there was a tail skid for the TOP of the tail?
They were called heel bones by Powell Peralta.
The idea was that they would help with your precision?
So you get the steeper tail without the unwanted benefit of actually getting any pop out of
it.
But I don't think you would grip over it, so it would actually hurt your skating more
than it could possibly help it.
Also, we've got lace savers.
These actually made sense to a degree, but obviously didn't stick around for very long.
These weren't too terrible of an idea, but shoelaces are pretty cheap.
They remind me of this shoe cover product I've talked about before in my new technologies
video.
But I think in any case, adding something extra to your shoes and giving you less board
feel is generally a bad thing, you know?
But they didn't just try to protect your board and shoes, you could also protect your
fingers.
Those awesome 80s fingerless gloves would leave your poor little fingies in danger,
so Santa Cruz invented Rip Grip.
These are stickers that are thick and spongy and you would put them in places that you
grabbed the board for some extra cushion and grip.
These were hugely popular back then in the late 80s - and they came in all kinds of crazy
bright 80s designs.
It's kind of crazy - a decent complete back then would have run you almost a hundred bucks
- not too far off from today.
But once you buy a few packs of Rip Grip, tail bones, nose bones, rib bones, and heel
bones from Powell, lappers and copers, bridge bolts… you could have almost doubled that
cost.
But to be fair - that board would have lasted forever.
I see boards like this at antique shops from time to time.
If I ever see a good one, I want to buy it and try to skate it.
Usually they're either painted over, or they're off brand Walmart stuff from back
then.
And they want 60 bucks for them.
BUT - they're still standing.
These boards could take a serious beating.
OK, I've got a few more left for you.
First, single-bearing wheels.
These came out in the early 90s.
On paper, they kind of seem like a good idea.
Use half the bearings - right?
But in practice, they didn't work all that well.
Apparently, the bearing would pop pretty easily.
Which makes sense.
There's just a spacer in there, which doesn't really seem to lock in all that well.
Plus, the single bearing is taking the stress and force of both bearings together.
So think about doing a bluntslide.
You ollie in, and the wheels stop.
Then your axle nut on this side and the truck on this side slam into them and force them
to slide forward.
That's a lot of force for a single bearing with some spacers in it.
It's no surprise they didn't work out.
Next is skyhooks!
I'm sure everyone has tried something like this when they first started skating.
These are devices that attach to your nose and tail and lock your feet in.
Then you can jump and the board stays with you.
It's fun to do by tying your shoelaces to the board or duct taping your shoes down.
But this was an actual product that you would buy and use permanently.
It's really weird.
It seems like they came out in the 80s, even though both vert and flatground ollies were
already invented.
I mean, this picture looks like it's from the 70s, so I guess I'm not entirely sure
about that, but they lasted into the 80s at least.
Weirdly, these have caught on with longboarding a bit more these days.
You can find a lot of people using them.
Maybe they help you stay locked in when you're rolling over rough surfaces or something.
Or you can powerslide with them without slipping off.
I'm not entirely sure.
If you use skyhooks these days, let me know in the comments.
Lastly, and worst-ly, is these.
So, there are scooters, which are bad enough as it is.
But at least they're a thing.
You can turn the handlebars and carve around on it I guess.
But this is just a way to attach handlebars to a regular skateboard.
You can't turn with them, and they do absolutely nothing except make it impossible to do any
tricks at all.
I'll never understand these.
Is skateboarding really so hard that you need to lean on something while you're riding
around?
And the worst part?
You would see ads for these in legit skateboard magazines back in the day.
It's just embarrassing.
Believe it or not, these still exist.
There's a brand called CaliBars that is still making skateboard handlebars.
Supposedly they're for helping kids learn how to skate, and they kind of take the high
ground over scooters, saying that it's at least a skateboard.
As long as it's 4-year-olds, it might not be the worst thing, but come on.
So those are the ones I found for this time.
Let me know what I missed in the comments.
I know there was a ton of crap back then that I've only started to scratch the surface.
Let me know if you've ever used any of these things before too.
I'd especially like to know about the bridge bolts.
I just don't get the point of those.
Until next time, here are some more videos I made recently that you might like.

If there's a will, there's a way Congress and Trump can still fix health care law - Duration: 12:28.
If there�s a will, there�s a way Congress and Trump can still fix health care law
Now that the GOP effort to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act is in limbo, is there
a way to make it work better?
Democrats and Republicans don�t agree on much when it comes to the controversial federal
health law, but some party leaders from each side of the aisle agree it needs repairs.
�No one ever said the Affordable Care Act was perfect,� said Senate Minority Leader
Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., on the Senate floor March 27. �We have ideas to improve it.
Hopefully our colleagues on the Republican side do as well.�
A day later, Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said, �We all want a system in health care where
everybody can have access to affordable coverage, where we have more choice and competition.�
And several GOP senators have moved away from the party�s long-held call for a total repeal
and are offering bills that would amend the measure.
Health policy analysts say that some of the health law�s marketplace problems could
be improved with a bipartisan spirit. Here are some of the possibilities:
Stabilize The Insurance Market
Insurance companies have only a matter of weeks before they must tell the federal government
and/or individual states whether they plan to offer coverage in 2018 on the health law�s
online marketplaces, which serve customers who don�t get job-based or government insurance.
As of now, many companies say the uncertainty of what the market will look like � or the
rules under which they will operate � is making that decision difficult. At least one
insurer, Humana, has already said it would not offer coverage.
Two key moves that insurers are looking for from the administration are a promise to continue
providing certain subsidies for those with lower incomes and enforcing the requirement
for most people to either have insurance or pay a tax penalty.
The subsidies � known as �cost-sharing reductions� � are different than the tax-credit
subsidies that many marketplace customers get to help pay their premiums. The cost-sharing
subsidies help those with incomes between the poverty line ($20,420 for a family of
three) and nearly 2� times that ($50,400 for that same family) pay their deductibles
and other out-of-pocket costs. The House of Representatives sued the Obama administration
in 2014 for providing the subsidies without a formal congressional appropriation for the
money, and a federal judge sided with the lawmakers.
The Obama administration appealed the decision, but if the Trump administration were to drop
that appeal, the subsidies would disappear. At a House hearing March 29, Health and Human
Services Secretary Tom Price would not say what the administration plans to do about
the lawsuit or the subsidies.
�I�m a party to that lawsuit and I�m not able to comment,� he said. But Ryan,
who is also a party to the suit, said March 30 that he believes the administration should
continue paying the subsidies until the lawsuit is resolved.
The administration has been similarly quiet about how strictly it will enforce the �individual
mandate� that requires most people to have health insurance or pay a fine. On his first
day in office, President Donald Trump issued an executive order directing federal agencies
to �minimize the unwarranted economic and regulatory burdens� of the health law. But
other than the IRS backtracking on a plan to enforce the mandate more strongly, little
has happened on that front.
Yet those two provisions together � the cost-sharing subsidies and the individual
mandate � could result in 25 to 30 percent increases in premiums if they were to disappear,
said Andy Slavitt, who oversaw the health law for the final years of the Obama administration.
Assuring that the subsidies will remain and the mandate will be enforced �would send
a strong signal to (insurance companies) that they should continue to participate in the
market,� he added.
Some GOP health policy analysts � including economist Gail Wilensky, who previously ran
the Medicare and Medicaid programs � have proposed replacing the individual mandate
with penalties for signing up for insurance late, which is what Medicare does. Republicans
did that in their proposed replacement bill, by adding a 30 percent premium surcharge to
those with a break in coverage longer than two months. But insurance actuaries and the
Congressional Budget Office said that might eventually prompt fewer people to enroll because
it would encourage healthy people to remain uncovered.
Entice People To Enroll
Getting young and healthy people to sign up for coverage is not just a benefit for them.
If there are not enough healthy people in the insurance pool, then premiums rise for
everyone, because risk is being spread across a mostly sicker population. And someday even
the healthy people will need medical care.
But it takes more than just the requirement for coverage to get people to enroll. Slavitt
said it requires a real effort by both federal and state officials to reach people and help
them understand that having health insurance is a good thing, even if they are healthy.
�What they should be doing is increasing marketing and the outreach budget,� he said.
�You�re trying to reach people who are uninsured and are unsure how it all works,
and it does take a lot of hand-holding.�
So far, however, the administration�s only move on that front was to cancel ads encouraging
people to sign up at the end of the enrollment period that overlapped with Trump�s first
days in office. The HHS Inspector General is now investigating the results of this action.
Some analysts have estimated canceling the last-minute push lowered enrollment in the
exchanges by as much as a half-million people.
Help Offset Insurer Losses
Democratic lawmakers who wrote the Affordable Care Act knew that the market might be hard
for insurers to navigate for the first few years, and they built in several programs
to help reimburse those who lost money.
Republicans, however, blocked funding for one of the major programs, which was intended
to reimburse insurance plans that enrolled sicker-than-average populations for the first
three years of the marketplace operations. Republicans called the money �insurer bailouts.�
The loss of that money was a major reason for the collapse of many of the nonprofit
insurance co-ops created under the law and some other insurance companies said it contributed
to their decisions to leave the marketplaces.
Now, however, there are indications that Republicans might support some efforts to provide more
funding for insurers.
On March 13, Price sent a letter to governors encouraging them to apply for waivers of the
ACA rules in order to make insurance more affordable and available in their states.
Among the state innovations singled out in the letter is a �reinsurance� program
in Alaskathat helps insurers pay for extremely high-cost patients. That plan, said Price,
�significantly� offset what was a projected 40 percent premium increase in the state,
and might be an option elsewhere under the waivers, which could allow states to get federal
funding for such a program.
And the GOP health bill, the American Health Care Act, included $100 billion for a �Patient
and State Stability Fund� that states with limited insurer competition could use to lower
costs and help encourage insurers to stay in the market.
�They have a potential fix staring them in the face,� said Larry Levitt of the Kaiser
Family Foundation of the GOP proposal for a stability fund. �It was a clever mechanism
because the states could use it for any of a variety of purposes.� (Kaiser Health News
is an editorially independent project of the Foundation.)
Assist Patients With High Out-Of-Pocket Costs
Democrats and Republicans agree that people who buy their own insurance are paying too
much out-of-pocket, in premiums as well as deductibles and cost sharing.
Democrats mostly want to increase federal subsidies to help with affordability � something
Republicans are not likely to embrace.
But there are other ways to lower consumer spending.
For example, Sabrina Corlette of Georgetown University�s Center on Health Insurance
Reforms calls for �smarter, not skimpier benefit design.� One way to do that is to
set federal rules to push insurers that offer coverage with high deductibles to add more
benefits that would be available without paying thousands of dollars first, like a few trips
to the doctor or urgent care center or a few prescriptions. She writes that could keep
people from dropping coverage because they feel they are not getting any value for their
premiums. And if those mostly healthy people feel they are getting benefits they might
use, they are more likely to continue to purchase coverage, thus reducing premiums for everyone.
Another potential way to lower insurance costs is to lower health care costs. Even if there
are multiple competing insurers in an area, if there�s one dominant hospital system,
it can pretty much charge whatever it wants.
�There�s no other price in the U.S. economy that�s growing as fast as a hospital price,�
said Bob Kocher, a former Obama administration health official now at the venture capital
firm Venrock. And in areas with not much hospital competition, �prices are 30 to 50 percent
higher for everything.�
But how to get hospital prices down is almost as hard as regulating insurance. Kocher said
one way would be for federal regulators to be more discriminating about approving hospital
mergers, which tend to give hospitals more negotiating power over insurers.
More controversial would be to require hospitals that dominate their markets �to just accept
Medicare prices� from marketplace insurers, Kocher suggested. While that would tend to
bring prices down, it�s not likely to fly with free-market Republicans.

3 Deadly Diseases You've Probably Never Heard Of - Duration: 5:20.
Every year, millions of people are infected with diseases you've probably never heard
of.
There's tons of media coverage about things like malaria, Zika, and HIV — all of which
pose serious threats to public health.
But there are many more diseases out there that are just as deadly -- yet not as infamous.
They're called neglected tropical diseases, or NTDs, because historically they haven't
been paid as much attention as other diseases, and they mainly affect people in tropical
areas.
But these days, global healthcare initiatives are paying attention to them -- working to
find ways to prevent and treat these diseases.
The deadliest NTD — caused by the second-deadliest parasite in the world, after malaria's — is
schistosomiasis, also known as snail fever.
It's caused by a parasitic worm, called schistosoma, that's transmitted through
water that's been contaminated with the parasite's eggs.
The parasites use certain kinds of snails in the water as hosts, to grow and multiply.
Eventually, the parasites' larvae are released into the water, and that's when anyone who
comes in contact with the water is at risk, because the larvae can burrow through the
skin.
Infected people often don't have symptoms for the first month or two, though they can
sometimes end up with a rash or other symptoms like fever, aches, and a cough.
Symptoms are much more common later on, once the larvae have grown into adults and laid
eggs.
That's when the infection is considered chronic.
But the symptoms of chronic schistosomiasis aren't caused by the full-grown worms — the
worms can actually incorporate proteins from the host to trick the immune system into ignoring
them.
It's the eggs that cause an incredibly strong immune response, which can strike almost anywhere:
the intestines, the lungs, the bloodstream, even the brain.
So schistosomiasis can cause all kinds of symptoms, from diarrhea to wheezing to seizures.
More than 200 million people have schistosomiasis right now, and about 200,000 people die from
it every year.
The main way to treat it is to prevent it: if people are regularly given a drug called
praziquantel, even if they don't have the disease, they're less likely to develop
a severe infection later on.
But the best way to protect people in the long term is to make sure communities have
access to sanitation and safe drinking water, to stop the parasite from spreading.
Another neglected tropical disease is Chagas disease.
It's most prevalent in Central and South America, where about 8 million people have
the infection, and about 10,000 die from it every year.
Chagas is caused by a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, a single-celled protozoan.
The parasite spreads through the feces of infected insects, often known as kissing bugs.
Usually, the parasite enters the body through mucous membranes — like in the eyes and
mouth — or through broken skin, when someone scratches a kissing bug bite.
The best time to treat the disease is just a few days after infection, but most people
don't show any symptoms for weeks.
And even in those who do, the symptoms are pretty mild and nonspecific — like fever,
a rash, and diarrhea.
And then something frightening happens: After this initial phase, Chagas infection usually
goes dormant -- for years.
After as much as a decade or two, about 30% of infected people then develop chronic, life-threatening
symptoms — including swelling of the heart, or the intestinal tract.
So, prevention and early detection are very important here.
But as with other NTDs, it often affects people who don't have easy access to healthcare.
Fortunately, efforts are underway to help those at risk, mainly with the help of insecticides.
If you kill the bugs, they can't spread the disease.
Then there's African trypanosomiasis, otherwise known as African sleeping sickness, which
affects parts of sub-Saharan Africa.
Like Chagas, this disease is caused by parasites carried by insects — in this case, by the
bite of the tsetse fly.
In the first phase of sleeping sickness, the parasite reaches the peripheral nervous system
— the nerves that aren't part of the brain or spinal cord.
Here, symptoms include things like fever, joint pain, and itching, which can be caused
by lots of different things.
So — again like Chagas — sleeping sickness is hard to diagnose at first.
But symptoms become more severe when the parasite invades the central nervous system — the
brain and spinal cord.
Then, it can cause convulsions, confusion, and the symptom that gives the disease its
name: uncontrollable sleepiness.
If left untreated, sleeping sickness can be fatal.
But it is treatable with combined medications, even in the second stage.
And initiatives to treat sleeping sickness have become more and more successful in recent
decades.
In 1995, there were an estimated 300,000 new cases of African sleeping sickness.
But since then, health organizations have been working on testing people for the disease
and getting treatment to those who need it.
They've also been using insecticides to kill tsetse flies.
By 2014, there were fewer than 15,000 new cases of sleeping sickness.
There are lots of other NTDs out there as well.
But they aren't being neglected anymore, either, and that's making a big difference.

Cremation Song Osomatsu-san English Sub【手描きおそ松さん】火 葬 曲 - Duration: 4:33.
The joy of the pending destruction
and the sadness of the looming disappearance
Holding them along with everything I have imagined
I set a fire floating in the darkness now
Is this the crematory for music scores?
The sad and abandoned songs with no sound
Voice, does it want my voice?
Even though its fate is to be used up and vanish
Flare up your sadness
I will let you shine at the end
For the sake of the sad songs that were never sung
I will throw you into the fire and cremate you
As the sparkle fades away
at the end of the dying words
In the beautiful musical scenery
Is that a mirage?
I cannot see ahead
Melodies that turn into ash once you burn them
Harmonies that get heated up again and again
These keep happening over and over
What do these all mean for me?
"This is what entertainment is like"
I don't want to think that these are futile
Even if this is just a transient light
Even if I cannot see the meaning in it
The spreading crimson flames
are reaching up into the sky
Before I get swallowed by it
Please give me a new sound
The carcass left over after the fire
The piling up dusts
This is the dying field for the voice of me
who sings at the crematory
As the sparkle fades away
at the end of the dying words
in the beautiful musical scenery
Is everything a mirage?
I cannot hear anything
The sadness of the looming destruction
and the happiness of the pending disappearance
holding them along with everything I have imagined
I melt into the sea of fire now
Thanks for watching!

Auto Hybrid Air Conditioning - Duration: 3:20.
hi Francisco Francisco's automotive as
you can see we do a lot of air
conditioning work we got a couple of
machines here a couple old ones over
there but right now I want to talk about
hybrid now if you own a hybrid it is
important that you know that takes
special equipment to do hybrid air
conditioning so if you call a shop and
you ask them I've ever machine for
hybrids and they say no run and let me
tell you why because the peg oil
conducts electricity and regular oil for
the hybrids that's not as a matter o
fact Toyota 's got its own oil Honda's
got its own oil Ford it's got its own
oil and that and you cannot in the mix
them because you will do damage to the
air conditioning system and if you
prepare oil you get the car would even
shut down on you so it is very important
that that you know that hybrid takes a
special machine and if you come over I
mean we can wait on a hybrid I've only
got one machine but it's not as busy as
the other one we have a comfortable
waiting room it takes two hours to do
the job and the reason it takes two
hours is I put it on vacuum for one
hour to remove the moisture very
important people don't even know that
why do you put it on vacuum
asked the mechanic if he hasn't watch
this video he doesn't know why so you
remove the vacuum vacuum combined with
refrigerant creates a chemical that's
really really bad for the system so
again you can wait for it a couple hours
I can run you down to the local library
to a local restaurant would give you a
ride home and pick you up you want to go
home for a couple hours drop you off and
we pick you up you got multiple drivers
or me and my partner can drop you pick
you up and drop you off and if by any
chance you need a part and we need to
keep a cover knife or a repair we
provide a rental car at my expense for
one day and we hand washed the because
we give a three year warranty on our
work
unheard of in this industry and with all
that combined why would you go anywhere
else just remember air-conditioned is
one of the comfort features and if
you're on a hybrid it takes a special
machine don't just let anybody work on
it and they have to know your condition
not just a matter of adding refrigerant
I think I you amazing compresses
compressed compressors I know another
condition is shocked that I'm told
smaller than mine I it's about 10-15
compressors a week a week when the
summer time I maybe replace one two
maybe and that's because they did not
get charged correctly again you want it
done correctly you can come to resist on
the money we get you in and out quickly
and efficiently give a three year 36,000
mile warranty copy with any of your
questions you got your car somewhere
else call me it don't matter my phone

What is Conversational Banking? - Duration: 2:38.
Hey everyone. I'm Orrett Davis the head of growth here at Abe AI.
Welcome to our first video blog.
I'm excited to share some tips and insights with you about what we're working on.
So, let's get started!
Today, I want to talk to you about conversational banking.
What does that mean? Well let's break it down.
Conversational banking is digital banking through voice and text messaging applications.
So instead of logging into a bank's app or website to get updates about your money,
You can chat directly with your bank through the messaging apps you use every day.
Think of it like "Siri" for your money.
Believe it or not, messaging apps are now more popular than social media networks.
And Facebook's Messenger now has almost 2 billion monthly active users.
These messaging platforms are seeing serious adoption and engagement, and banks are taking notice.
Dozens of banks around the world have already released chatbots to boost their business.
If you want to see for yourself check out our blog post linked below on "10 Banks Using AI chatbots"
There are several benefits for both banks and consumers to adopt conversational banking technologies.
Including increased operational efficiency, improved customer experience, and additional customer insights.
AI-powered conversational banking interfaces can handle just about any basic banking tasks
like answering customer service request, providing balance updates and account notices.
Just imagine never having waiting on hold to perform a simple task like giving your bank a travel notice.
Chatbots operate on messaging platforms you're already familiar with,
Making it easy for you to access your banking information at anytime.
No need to download an additional complicated app.
This makes interacting with your bank just another part of your daily routine.
It's like having a financial assistant right at your fingertips.
Conversational banking enables banks to acquire more tailored customer data.
By engaging customers in "small talk" through conversational interfaces,
Banks can get insights into customer intents, desires,
And concerns that are not part of the normal banking app and website experience.
A banking chatbot can study your spending
To make predictions about your current and future financial outlook.
With these insights, it's easier to understand where your money is going
and how to improve your financial future
and provide services that can truly help you be better with your money.
So what does all this mean for banking?
At Abe AI, we believe conversational banking is the way of the future, and we're building that future now.
That's all the time we have for now.
Thanks for watching!

How to Charge Auto Air Conditioning Huntington Beach - Duration: 7:53.
hi my name is Francisco Francisco's
automotive you watching this video is
because you need help in recharging
air conditioning system let me show you
my shop but first let me show you my
landscape I love my landscape I'm here
12 hours a day this give me a lot of
peace we're in the process of recharging
two different vehicles ok so I'm going
to show you how to start from the
beginning the first thing you do if
you're doing it at home it's going to be
a little bit harder for you because what
are you going to do with the refrigerant
you're going to have to if you come to a
shop like mine I can identify it recover
it if you one of my regular customers
I'll help you out I charge a minimum or
nothing or you can vent it into the
atmosphere which I don't recommend but
here when recharging took because this
one was low right here coming in let me
show you this one was low this one came
in had two pounds of refrigerant and it
takes 3.5 this one was 1.5 low on
refrigerant the first thing we do is we
remove we recover the refrigerant we
check the pressures which already can do
at home we check the pressures okay and
then I recover the refrigerant and then
using a tool like this you come in and
you remove this Schrader valves they
just unscrew you pull it out and then
you put the new one in and then you want
to replace them because they'll eat a
lot and then just kind of screwing it
like the Schrader Valve on a car and
then you screw it in and then
this nice and tight and then you go to
the other side and then this is your low
side and this is your high side
okay now on your high side same thing
you're going to remove this Schrader Valve
some of them you have to replace the
whole piece but if you get any questions
give me a call you take the new
Schrader Valve you put it in and then
you just screw it in see that once you
screw it in nice and tight then you're
ready to go to the next step then and
then do it quickly because if you don't
have a machine to put it on back home
you let moisture in so when you remove
it put it in quickly do not ever leave a
system open because it gains moisture
inside the accumulator there's a
silicone bag that removes the moisture
so you don't want to soak it now on this
one over here we're already charging it
now this one when he came in he gave me
a 25 pounds on the low side 125 on the
high side and the captain chill was 45
degrees we took got 2.1 pounds we
replace the straight about same
procedure replacing Schrader belt and
put it on back in for an hour to remove
the moisture now we charged it up once i
charged it up then my pressures got
better are you got about 35 + 150 and
you kept them to show us 40 degrees a
couple of things that are very important
if you're doing at home you got those
little cans of gauges that worthless and
because pressure can change even if you
put the right amount in pressure can
change between a cold a warm day
a hot day your pressures are going to change so
don't go by there as little as ten percent
under charge can send your compressor to
an early grave so you don't want an
undercharge or overcharge if you
overcharge you develop a head pressure
so you don't want to do it you
definitely do not want to do any of that
another thing you can do is if you have
if you have the you kind of do a visual
leak take a visual leak
check your condenser check your up check
your hoses if you are if you got the
hoses check the hoses like for example
that holds right there you see how it's
nice and dry okay know if you see only
then then there's a sign that might have
a leak so kind of do a visual and all
your hoses on the condenser if you see
an oily spot on the condenser coil then
you probably have a leak take it or if
you come by and I and you show it to me
i can tell you whether I think you have
a leak or not because when you lose
refrigerant you lose a little bit of oil
now when I do a recharge about every
third recharge I add an ounce of oil so
figure out a way to add an ounce of oil
because if you keep losing the prison it
doesn't take a lot of oil get some sense
the money takes six seven ounces so if
you lose one or two hey you're losing
more than ten percent twenty percent so
make sure you have all that into
consideration again you're going to get
dumped the refrigerant and the good part
of us started with an empty system if
you're doing at home is you know how
much to put in because if you put in too
much or not enough it is no good all the
touching undercharging can send the
compressor to an early grave and on some
cars like if you own a Cadillac for
instance and some of the Volkswagens if
you own a Cadillac and the air
conditioning system stops working
because it's low then you can think you
cannot get a restart unless you reset
the computer so you got to get somebody
to that don't go crazy think you've got
an electrical problem you got to make
sure that it gets reset and when this
system was low the the gauge is he right
now or gauges again a little bit high
because I got the condenser covered up
front you got no air flow so but it's
still good
now when you do it when you do a
conditioning part of its electrical
don't take it for granted that that your
problem is the refrigerant succeed the
compressor works and also you got to
have the proper equipment now if you
have the properly we have an identifier
for air conditioning refrigerant we have
a scale while I have it I don't know
because I've always had it and I haven't
gotten rid of a disc very accurate
skills if you go to the older machines
that I still have next your work I do
not trust the scales anymore that's like
I knew us if you own a hybrid even you
own the hybrid don't mess with it you
think it takes a special machine for
hybrids because you can mix the oils you
can cause hvac in the air
conditioning system you got any
questions that air conditioned to give
me a call if you live in the city

Auto Air Conditioning Hybrid Huntington Beach - Duration: 3:48.
hi Francisco Francisco's automotive as
you can see we do a lot of air
conditioning air conditioning is my
specialty hair conditioned electrical
they go hand in hand and as I was doing
this video i dunno me that a lot of
people don't know that to do hybrid
hybrid just left I just did an A/C service
on it you need a special machine and you
need special equipment and as you can see
i have two machines over here for
regular cars they're fairly new and then
I got one just for a hybrid this one
only comes out when hybrids comes
in because we do quite a bit of hybrid
and I bought this machine about 2-3 years
ago in order because I specialize in
electrical and I could not do hybrids
maybe a little bit longer than that so
and here's the thing you cannot use
regular peg oil on a hybrid car because
it convinces electricity something with
the electricity and it can send havoc to
the vehicle in many different ways not
only to the compressions to the AC
system but on something you're a hybrid
it will literally shut the car down
because of the conduction of electricity
so when you do work on a hybrid is very
very important that that you know that
it takes a special machine if people
don't know and you cannot just add freon
into a car anymore or refrigerant is the
proper word freon is the name of a
company like Ford but with that said
when you have a hybrid make sure to use
a hybrid machine make sure they they put
in the proper amount a lot of the
vehicles nowadays take one pound so if
you're two ounces low you're more than
ten percent under charge ten percent on
the charge can send you compress to an
early grave now you know around here in
Huntington Beach we get our hot days and
we love her comfort in Huntington Beach
we get our hot days and as soon as first
hot day and I'm the beach comes you guys
come running over here I mean you come
running to us
now or you can be the guy that goes to
Palm Springs got your girlfriend got a
hot date and the air conditioning
doesn't work don't get caught like that
make it a regular service if you haven't
had a service for five years get a
service get it done by somebody who
knows hybrids they know electrical and
they no air conditioning because they
all go hand in hand you cannot you
cannot do air conditioning without known
electrical you just can't because a lot
of its electrical whether the compressor
a lot of people may think that you have
a problem with the compressor everybody
wants your compressor compressor if you
keep your A/C serviced correctly
you will probably never have to buy a
compressor unless the manufacturer had a
problem with those compressors ten
percent under charge can send your
compressor to an early grave I bet you a
lot of you shop owners don't know why if
you want to know give me a call I'll
tell you why because they do teach air
conditioning but I charge for you shop
owner if you guys want to do some AC
work at home check out one of my youtube
channels I'm going to start putting out
videos on how to repair air conditioning
I already got a couple of them out so
check them out and if you got any
questions give me a call 714 375 2661
thank you for watching the video
