-Today, Republicans voted on a motion
to start debate about repealing Obamacare,
which could make one of the greatest challenges
this country faces, the opioid crisis,
more difficult to deal with.
It's an epidemic that affects millions of Americans
regardless of race, religion, or socioeconomic status,
and it's an issue that Donald Trump
promised his voters he would focus on
when he became president.
So we decided to take a break from the breaking news
to see how that's going.
It's time for "The Check In."
♪♪
[ Ding! Ding! ]
While campaigning in New Hampshire,
one of the hardest-hit states by prescription-painkiller abuse,
then candidate Trump promised he would devote
additional resources to fighting opioid addiction.
But when asked what his plan was for combating the issue,
he couldn't help but make it all about himself.
-What is your view on how we get more treatment facilities
in this state and other states?
-Well, you do have to have that
and, you know, it's amazing,
I've gotten -- as you know, I'm up here a lot,
in fact, from here I go and make a speech at a certain place
and we're going to have a lot of fun,
and I'm in New Hampshire so much.
I'm doing great in New Hampshire.
I'm leading in the polls by a lot,
and we're having a lot of fun here
and I've gotten to know the people.
I have a lot of friends.
-You know, for a guy who doesn't seem very athletic,
he sure turns into Neo when he doesn't like a question.
To clarify his response to the opioid crisis is,
"I have friends, and we have a lot of fun."
That's the response a teenager would give
if his parents caught him using opioids.
"What's happening to you, Kevin?"
"I have friends, and we have a lot of fun!"
So if you have to make a point
to tell people you have so many friends,
it's probably safe to assume you don't have that many.
But actually Trump does have one.
-We're fortunate to have Governor Chris Christie with us,
a friend of mine, a great friend of mine.
A very, very early endorser.
In fact, an immediate endorser,
once he got out of the race.
[ Light laughter ]
He liked himself more than he liked me.
But other than that...
[ Laughter ]
-[ Laughs ] "Yes, sir. Yes, sir, I am your friend, sir.
Sir, I will see you at the bro-down, sir."
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie
was right by Trump's side there,
because the president was hosting a listening session
on opioid abuse,
and he appointed Christie
to lead a bipartisan opioid commission
to try to come up with solutions
to curb prescription-painkiller abuse
and develop better plans for treatment.
And Chris Christie is the perfect choice
to lead a bipartisan commission,
because if there's one issue of bipartisan agreement right now,
it's that everyone, regardless of party,
hates Chris Christie.
-This is a governor who has the lowest approval rating,
not just of any governor in recent memory
here in the state, but across the country,
hovering at just 15%.
-15%.
Chris Christie is as popular with voters
as salad is with Chris Christie.
[ Laughter ]
So how is he doing leading the commission?
-President Donald Trump's commission
aimed at fighting opioid abuse
and devising a strategy to provide treatment
to those addicted will miss, for the second time,
its deadline to file an interim report
to the president.
-Even worse, experts point out
that the administration's current priorities,
which include an emphasis on enforcement over treatment
are not going to help turn the epidemic around.
And the reason law enforcement can't solve the problem alone
is because, far too often, opioid addiction begins legally
with doctors prescribing strong painkillers
and pharmaceutical companies endorsing the drugs
because they stand to benefit from the sales of them.
And this is important because, when mentioning drug abuse,
Trump almost always finds a way to blame it on the border
and illegal drugs coming from Mexico.
And that is a very real problem.
But in this case, the pills are coming from inside the house.
For example, West Virginia has one of the highest
overdose rates in the country, and this might help explain why.
-This is Kermit, West Virginia.
Population just under 400.
And this was the Save-Rite Pharmacy in Kermit,
where at least 9 million opioid painkillers
were shipped in just two years.
9 million.
That's the equivalent of over 22,000 pills
for every person in town.
-22,000 pills for each person in town.
Can you imagine the size of their pill-a-day organizers?
And when the supply to legal pharmaceuticals is cut off,
people who are now addicted turn to illegal drugs like heroin,
which is why we have a responsibility
to value treatment over law enforcement.
Trump should look at it this way,
he's never done heroin,
but if they outlawed KFC, he might.
"This is the last of the chicken, sir."
"Oh, my God, tie me off!"
[ Laughter ]
Just yesterday Trump defended his health care bill
and what it would do to address the opioid crisis specifically.
-It devotes substantial resources
to fight the opioid --
and this is a tremendous problem --
the opioid epidemic.
$45 billion is being put in.
So that the people of many states,
like New Hampshire, Ohio, and so many others
that have such a big problem,
can be helped and helped greatly.
-$45 billion sounds like a lot of money,
but don't be fooled, because according to reports,
that number is drastically short of what would be needed
to make up for the legislation's deep cuts to Medicaid
which has provided treatment
for hundreds of thousands of people.
So the money he's giving
is less than the money he's taking away.
Basically, Trump is saying,
"We're going to give you bigger portions,
but we're also going to burn down the restaurant."
And it's not just the health care plan.
Trump's budget proposal would slash funding
for drug treatment services,
and according to New Hampshire Senators
Jeann Shaheen and Maggie Hassan,
Trump's opioid commission has also delayed the implementation
of existing recommendations from health experts
that could save lives now if implemented.
We even reached out to New Hampshire Senator Shaheen's office
to see if, at the very least, any additional money
has been given to the state as was promised.
As of this taping, we were told that New Hampshire
has not received any additional funding
from the Trump administration to tackle the opioid epidemic,
so what's Trump been so busy doing instead?
♪♪
[ Applause ]
[ Horn honks ]
-Look at that. -Oh!
-Look at that. -Ohh!
♪♪
-Man, what is this? The Make-A-Wish presidency?
"I want to be a fireman, a cowboy,
a golfman, and a sword."
"And I'm sorry, are you sick?"
"I'm sick of working."
At this point, Trump's been in more fire trucks
than a Dalmatian.
And some advocates say
that Trump is passing up opportunities
to crack down on the pharmaceutical industry,
which reports said fueled the prescription opioid epidemic.
Perhaps making matters worse,
Trump chose Dr. Scott Gottlieb,
a former federal official with financial ties
to the pharmaceutical companies
to run the Food and Drug Administration,
which approves the use of opioids,
among other things. According to reports,
Gottlieb has funded several health care start-ups
and has received millions of dollars
for his work with large pharmaceutical companies.
He now has to recuse himself for at least one year
for any FDA decisions involving his former clients,
which seems to be the M.O. of this administration.
Gottlieb recusing himself from some FDA decisions,
Jeff Sessions recusing himself from the Russian investigation,
and Melania recusing herself
from any and all physical contact.
♪♪
[ Laughter ]
[ Cheers and applause ]
And to be fair to Trump,
this didn't happen on his watch.
But he is now president of a country
that consumes about 80% of the global opioid supply
and 99% of the world's hydrocodone,
a powerful painkiller.
Continuing to do nothing is dangerous and irresponsible.
This is a crisis that affects our families and our friends,
and that should matter to Trump, because, as we all know...
-I have a lot of friends.
This has been "The Check In."

COD IW NEW WEAPONS G-RAIL & STALLION.44 - INFINITE WARFARE NEW WEAPONS - Duration: 5:13.
what is this gun do you guys see this I'm just previewing the new infinite
warfare weapon to you guys I think it's called like a G-Rail or something but do
you see this there's a fan that side of the gun cuz I love to do this what is
going on guys it is your boy Yogge here and I'm back with another Call of Duty
video for you guys today so now listen I don't like playing infinite warfare but
some of you do like playing it and some of you don't like watching it and I
don't either but for those of you that don't know what is going on in the new
Call of Duty let's take a look at what's happening I know some of you might not
really care but hey let's see how far their futuristic they've gone so today
there was a new update patch update was called 1.18 in a went live on ps4 Xbox
one and PC you know obviously those are the three main things that they go live
on because that's the only platform that they have the game on anyways they added
two new weapons so the one that you watch right now though with a little fed
inside is a little electricity shit it's called a g rail now the description for
this weapon says semi-auto golf's rifle that fires electro magnetically
propelled bullets aiming-down-sights charges a weapon to fire more powerful
shot and max charge so you guys will see whenever I 80s you'll see like a little
boost a little like you know light charged up when it gets the green in you
like that means basically any any anybody who sees a one shot anything
anybody you know I've shot equipment with full charge and it broke it easily
in one shot they might be asking to yourself well that sounds good right but
it's actually a burst open I don't know why I said semi-automatic I don't know I
just thought it would be like you know it would be like a foul or something but
it's not like that it's actually a burst weapon anyway so that is what the gun
does but this gun is so funny to look at there's a little fed inside what kind of
good is this so I for the voice cracks but I've never thought never in my life
did I think that there would be a gun with the little fin inside of it yeah
maybe you know clown costumes because I see that in advanced warfare or crazy
stuff but never in my life like to go see you good with the little stand
inside of it I don't know it's weird to me but it's whatever I'll tell you guys
what I think about the good later you guys can watch a game play another
weapon they added is I believe the stallion 44
and no yeah I showed that off to a little bit here during the gameplay but
that is basically it in this update it's that and then some little general fixes
I'll put it up right here you guys can pause the video look at it if you want
but I want to waste the video on that what I want to talk about is when I
figure this weapon now I already told you guys how I feel about how it looks
it looks funny I kind of look cool at first but then it's just at the corners
and the good-looking of it all went away when I notice that little fan and this
gun is absurd so I thought you know what okay it's a crazy looking but it
shouldn't be good right I mean semi-automatic rifle you know that fires
burst and it's super charger so you know you would expect it to be good but it's
actually garbage like literally god I so look there's another gun in this game
called Arthur Kate's another burst rifle and this one takes two birds to kill
people same as this gun when you don't charge up anything now because of that I
thought this gun was going to be good but sometimes it takes up to three
bursts to kill somebody you heard me three now whether you think
it should scratch or not is shoot slow every other gun will melt you in this
game if you're looking at if you'll be able to fly off to to you know to burst
and if your aim is good enough you'll kill the guy but other than that you'll
die unless you charge up and literally aim the whole time Amon go round the
corner aiming all over the maps to kill somebody there's no point in that I
don't know about you guys watching this gun is a garbage they need to increase
the fire rate or something with this weapon because other than that I don't
like playing with it it takes up to three bursts to kill somebody really and
it's not even fast there's a period between firing the burst it's like two
seconds that's a lot or a second that's a lot in this game because in gamers
dumb in its class paced now I don't even know why I'm getting upset about a gun
and infinite water because I don't even play it anymore but it is what it is and
then around the gameplay you see me pick up a magnum and the Magnum it's it's not
good compared to the other guns it's good out close range obviously that's
what the Magnum export other than that not it this is the same thing as same
problem with this gun as the G rail or whatever it's called it it takes like
too long to fire off at least two shots or something like that reason being
everybody's jetpacking everywhere using SMGs and ARS that fire like you know a
thousand miles per hour that makes your sense
you guys know what I mean this gun is way too slow for this game they merely
buff the fire rate or the damage or something on this weapon to make it you
know at least usable because if you don't charge up
you really can't kill anybody with this yeah guys that's what I think all this
one pathology I've seen the comments down below if you guys know me as if you
like these videos over here selfie you know yeah see you guys on the next one
never with the ball the bench waiting for going never was a cake before I
graduated wanna gotta scrap fulfilling but went through them doing to the image
of a thought cancer the villain gonna stick on my head for respective event
like that never live to be blackwell plan you just want to see me through
with you what you saying

5 Minutes with Christina - Process Work Seminar Series - Duration: 5:39.
The way the course is structured is that Salome Schwartz, who's the first trainer
coming with Elsa Henderson who's also a graduate of the Process Work Institute
in Portland, they're going to be working together bringing the First and
Second Trainings as a united whole. Salome is a very experienced Process Worker and
a very experienced teacher but most of all she's really focused on Process Mind
and the second training that Arny has provided--she's worked very closely with
him and he is really supporting her in bringing the training to us at Metavision.
Then Kaz will come in May next year to do training around altered and
extreme states: she's got a lot of experience in that area and again using
the Second Training and Process Mind and looking at the energy, the 'x' and the
'u' energies and and how these work in dynamic ways. Salome doesn't travel, she
doesn't leave America usually--she doesn't like to travel that much but she
has agreed to come here for us because she really believes in Metavision and
she wants to support us and help see students take this work further and
graduates take this work out into the world which is really what's needed. One
of the things that Arnie found was that working with primary and secondary,
it made it more into 'states' and the sense of 'process' tended to get a bit lost so
this new form, or way of working, works with with energies in a more dynamic way
he's also developed a whole understanding of the phases that things
go through, which is very helpful. Salome will bring some of that as well...
Process Work gives a wonderful structure to working
psychotherapeutically and psychologically that is simple but goes really deep, really
quickly and really well and as a clinician you
need to be able to hold that space and manage the ending process of it too so
that the person comes out of the experience--of a deep experience--into
their everyday life in a grounded way. It'll be looking at the different levels
of awareness that's used in relationships--the Consensus Reality
Dreaming, dream land and the essence level, working with all levels at once,
working with high and low dream and we've done some of that work in Metavision,
but it'll be making it more lively and expanded. It will work with the relationship
between therapist and client, it will be working with your own
inner experience of relationship, it works on many levels, with a lot of
experiential work. A lot of opportunity to practice and to see demonstrations
of work. It's great to be able to take it much more deeply with such a skilled
facilitator as Salome, it's a real privilege, because what Salome is doing
is seamlessly putting together the First and Second training so it takes
Process Work deeper and further than it has previously. It's really
expanded the understanding of the spiritual nature of Process Work. I think
it's really needed in the whole of Australia actually there hasn't been
this sort of thing here. While we introduce a bit of it into our training
now, it's not enough to take it to the depth that you will if you come to these
professional development seminars. Also there will be an opportunity for
supervision and that can provide some supervision points for you.
Process Work takes, for clients and for your own self-development, it
takes work deep very quickly into the places that it needs to
go, it also unfolds the process that is waiting to happen and moves you forward
in your own life so it doesn't go over past experiences or past things
unnecessarily, only where it's highly relevant for forward movement. As always
in Process Work you're going to be working on yourself and your own
relationships as well so you learn a multi-leveled way and you take
yourself and your skills into practice and that--you can't, you can never learn
enough--you can always keep practicing and developing and refreshing and you
come with new renewed vigor back into your practice. I know I've certainly gone
to professional development trainings through the different areas that I work
in and I noticed when I come back to my practice I come back with with a
lighter step. I feel reinvigorated, because it's not only the learning and
the deep experience you have for yourself, but it's meeting people, it's
working with your colleagues, it's having a refreshing experience. I
can't recommend it highly enough, really.

How to Make a Milk and Gelatin Mask to Remove Blackheads - Duration: 2:32.
How to Make a Milk and Gelatin Mask to Remove Blackheads
Blackheads happen when your skin produces too much oil and accumulates dead skin cells.
The appearance of blackheads is related to a lack of facial hygiene.
However, they are more common in people who have hormonal imbalances.
In this article, we want to share a recipe for a gelatin and milk mask.
Its properties help get rid of blackheads while giving your skin healthy nutrients.
A gelatin and milk mask that removes blackheads The gelatin and milk mask is a natural remedy.
It encourages the removal of blackheads, dead skin cells and other impurities.
This means anything that�s stored on the surface of your skin.
Applying it on a regular basis keeps your skin smooth and hydrated.
This is because it acts similarly to other exfoliating products that are sold with the
same goal.
How do you make this gelatin and milk mask?
Making this gelatin and milk mask is rather easy.
Plus, it�s very cheap if you compare it to the high prices of products that they sell
to fight skin problems.
It can be applied to all kinds of skins.
This is because it doesn�t cause any changes in your pH or cause excessive dryness.
It can also be used as a complement to exfoliants because it also gets rid of dead skin cells.
Ingredients 2 tablespoons of unflavored gelatin
4 tablespoons of milk Instructions
Add the unflavored gelatin to a microwave-safe container.
Mix in the four tablespoons of milk.
Put the mixture in the microwave and let it heat for 10 to 15 seconds.
After this time, check and see if it�s cool enough to apply.
If it is, apply it.
If you want the mixture to be thinner and easier to apply, add more milk.
How to use it Take off your makeup.
Wash your face with warm water and a neutral soap.
Then, spread the mask all over your face.
Focus on the areas that are suffering from blackheads.
Let it dry for 40 minutes and then take it off.
Start with the edges and work your way inward.
To finish the treatment, apply a face cream or hydrating tonic.
Use it up to three times per week.
Are you ready to try it?
If you start to notice that blackheads are starting to take away the beauty from your
skin, make this easy mask.
Say goodbye to them once and for all!

2017 Gold Cup: Bruce Arena blends intense demands with humor to lead USMNT. - Duration: 3:01.
Bruce Arena bites his fingernails religiously, a habit he has had since age 10. Among some other unmentionables.
Are you kidding me? I'm sure there's plenty of those," the U.S. coach acknowledged with a chuckle, "I don't make that public information, though."
Arena walks across midfield soaking in the California sun and surveying the scene as his
players take a lap and begin stretches ahead of training on a practice field adjacent to Avaya Stadium, home of the San Jose Earthquakes.
He crosses his arms and paces – side to side, forward and backward – eyes up always. He shifts his hands to his hips and steals a glance downfield to where the goalkeepers are doing individual work.
I'm thinking about my investments and retirement and things like that," Arena cracked, then added: "I'm observing the players and looking at their habits, trying to learn as much as I can about players on
a daily basis. It's not only game day. When you have a team and there's 23 players, every player is important. So sometimes your contributions aren't only
on game or on the field and it's other things. You look at the qualities of players both on and off the field."
With his quick wit off the field and demanding nature on it, Arena has instilled a calm and a swagger the U.S. squad needed, and that has bred success again after fans
reached panic mode. Now, Arena can become the first to coach three CONCACAF Gold Cup titles if the Americans can beat surprising Jamaica on Wednesday night. The U.S. won under Arena in 2002 and `05.
"I came in with Bruce in January and I think initially you saw someone who's trying to get points across and be pretty serious about it, but as we realized his demands and his intentions
he's been able to kind of dial it back a little bit," midfielder Graham Zusi said. "Very dry, good sense of humor. It's important, especially in these long camps, to have some kind of comic relief as well."
On Monday, Arena reminded his players it was here in the Bay Area where the Americans regained momentum in March by beating Honduras 6-0 in a World Cup qualifer.
Arena, a member of the U.S. Soccer Hall of Fame who turns 66 in September, has led the team to an 8-0-5 record since he returned in November for a second stint as coach
replacing Jurgen Klinsmann after the Americans' first 0-2 start in the final round of qualifying in the North and Central American and Caribbean region.
Four months ago we were rebuilding our program, a program that was in desperate shape of being in a position to qualify for a World Cup and all other things,
Arena said. "We've made great strides over the last four months. This is a great opportunity for us to continue to make progress. We'd love to win the Cup."
