Nothing is more groan worthy than getting to the end of a really enjoyable game and
coming head to head with a final boss who goes down quicker than a Mario Kart on a banana
peel.
It's oh so painful.
So today we're recounting the disappointment with our list of the top 10 final video game
bosses that were ridiculously easy to beat.
Most of the games on this list are critically acclaimed, and some are flat out iconic, which
perhaps makes these final boss battles even worse.
10 Joker – Arkham Asylum Arkham Asylum is a fantastic game.
It spawned a franchise of Rocksteady Batman video games that were almost all critically
acclaimed.
But the game has one major flaw that many fans didn't enjoy; the final boss battle
with the Joker, where the penultimate villain jacks himself up on toxins.
For starters, that kind of tactic is a bit out of character for the clown prince of crime.
Second, the battle felt a little forced; jacked up Joker jumps up and sends his minions after
you, then occasionally jumps down so you can dish out some damage to him.
And it wasn't all that challenging; it didn't offer up anything new in the game, either.
Luckily, Rocksteady made up for it with Arkham City and the final boss battle there, but
there's still a few gamers out there who are sore over Asylum.
9 Ganon Ganon is not a foe to be taken lightly as
far as The Legend of Zelda is concerned.
Unless you're playing Ocarina of Time, that is.
Despite his terrifying aesthetic, the final battle against Ganon is actually fairly simple,
once you get the swing of it.
It's repetitive, and as long as you make sure to roll between his legs and slash his
tail, as long as you keep the pace, the battle is incredibly straight forward and manageable.
Not so threatening now, are you Ganon?
Ganon's lack of diversity in his attacks is what makes this possible, which is a bit
of a shame considering the rest of the game is considering to be one of the best titles
of all time, despite its severely aged graphics these days.
8 Natla - Tomb Raider Jacqueline Natla is similar to our last number
in the sense that all you really have to do is repeat the same move over and over and
you'll knock her out.
It's a bit of a shame; for a character that means so much to Lara's story, she's defeated
fairly simply.
Essentially, all you have to do is non-stop fire your uzis while doing somersaults as
a means of dodging her attacks, which is pretty lame considering she transforms into A WINGED
BEAST WITH FIRE BALL POWERS.
You don't even really need to aim well, either!
It's also worth noting that her attacks are strong, but the pillars scattered around
act as a significant amount of cover, and if you have any medi packs, you're sure
to withstand her attacks.
7 Jacknife – Mirror's Edge The 2009 EA Dice Mirror's Edge was arguably
a really well done game, but it's final confrontation with Jacknife, a former runner,
is incredibly anti-climatic.
All you have to do after he boards the helicopter is run and jump, causing him to fall to his
death.
While the gameplay immediately after is tense (you need to help Kate safely escape the now
falling helicopter which apparently gets so severely damaged from your jump and Jacknife's
firing that that it starts going down) it still feels like quite a letdown.
6 Saddler – Resident Evil 4 Saddler gets a lot of hype in Resident Evil
4, but when it finally comes down to facing it, it's not all that difficult to get the
upper hand on the terribly deformed monstrosity.
Once you determine where his weak spots are, it doesn't take long to fire away and deal
some serious damage to him.
The area in which you fight him gives you a lot of advantages; there's a lot of traps
and areas you can sneak into when trying to avoid him.
Plus, after you've gotten his health down significantly, Ada just shows up and gives
you a one hit kill rocket launcher, which kind of makes the whole battle redundant to
begin with.
5 Black Hand – Shadow of Mordor The Black Hand of Sauron final boss battle
is essentially a game of cat and mouse, which is then followed by a quick time event.
While it may do the narrative justice, in terms of actual skill it didn't really challenge
players all that much, despite the Talons of the Black Hand you fight off prior being
much more interesting.
There is a timer though, so for some, that may add some level of intrigue, but still.
4 Lambent Brumak – Gears of War 2 For something so terrifying to look at, this
final boss is a piece of cake.
Just hold down the trigger down for the Hammer of Dawn to fire.
Keep that up and it'll eventually die.
Which is pretty funny considering everything else leading up to this final boss in the
game is hard as balls.
Moving on.
3 Fontaine (BioShock) Fontaine is quite the physically imposing
boss, but unfortunately, was more of a letdown than a challenge.
Despite BioShock being a wonderfully crafted game, players quickly found out that there
was an easy tactic you could use to finish the baddie in no time; you can blast Fontaine
with the chemical thrower weapon, with the electric gel leaving the boss pretty much
paralyzed.
From there, you just shoot, without having to fear for any real repercussions.
Plus, if your weapons were upgraded fully by the end of the game, the damage you deal
is pretty superior, meaning the battle will be over in no time.
2 343 Guilty Spark Aside from typically being considered one
of the most annoying video game characters in history, Guilty Spark is also a pretty
crappy boss.
It's incredibly easy to take out, and its own attacks towards you are really predictable
and easy to dodge.
Despite being able to fly around, it lingers A LOT, and it doesn't even bother to use
its small size to its advantage.
It feels as if it was just an afterthought to the game, a boss battle slapped on the
ending of a story otherwise jam packed with other memorable and compelling moments.
1 Lucien – Fable 2 Nothing is more anti-climatic than not getting
to brutally destroy a villain that has driven you absolutely mental the entire game.
Fable 2 features one of those moments.
The final encounter with Lucien, a character who has antagonized you right from the start
of the game, is nowhere near the kind of justice that players wanted.
Dude kills your sister at the start of the story, and all you get is hop and a skip and
a short cut scene.
While there is some satisfaction in shooting him after his shield was down, if you listened
to his last words and waited too long, someone else would shoot him.

Brazil's National Symbol Is Disappearing in the Wild - Duration: 1:13.
- [Narrator] These two brilliantly colored monkeys
are the pride of their native country, Brazil.
This is the Golden Lion Tamarin.
(soft music)
The Golden Lion Tamarin's signature feature
is its silky reddish gold coat.
Its long mane frames its bare face,
thus the feline namesake.
These little guys love to eat fruits, insects
and small invertebrates.
And they'll use their long thin fingers
to hunt for their prey in narrow spaces.
They spend their lives swinging in the trees
of Brazil's southeastern coastal forests.
In the 1970s, only a couple hundred were left in the wild
due to collection for the pet trade and habitat loss.
While still endangered today,
conservation efforts around the world
have boosted their population.
The Golden Lion Tamarin has become a national symbol
in Brazil, even appearing on the country's money.
This is the Golden Lion Tamarin.

*NEW^ WAY TO GLITCH OUT IF MUSEUM in ROBLOX JAILBREAK - Duration: 9:09.
Nick G 2005 the homie that was helping
me out
freaking Rob the museum oh my gosh that
actually goes for two so that's pretty
good and oh my god
I just died. yes guys I've glitched out
of the museum
I freaking did it hey what is going on
guys Dylan here welcome back to a brand
new Roblox video! I hope all of y'all are
having a fantastic day! Ladies and
gentlemen we are gonna be playing some
roblox jailbreak today guys and we are
actually gonna be attempting a brand new
glitch that I have actually found
out from another youtuber by the name of
a Ved_Dev! I'll go ahead and link his
video down in the description box below
so you guys can go ahead and see what
I'm talking about. Guys I just really
really want to see if this is gonna work
apparently it's brand new and it's like
a super super OP way of getting out of
the museum and if it works for me guys
then it's gonna be insane because guys I'm
not sure if y'all know this but getting
out of the museum is a little bit of a
hassle if you guys don't have a teammate
say your teammates died by the red frickin'
circles or something like that there
will still be a way for you guys to
break out and actually complete the
robbery so I'm super super excited to do
this if you guys enjoyed today's video
be sure to leave a like subscribe to the
channel and hit the notification bell
so you guys get notified every single
time I upload a video! Anyways let's
break out of here and get on with this.
so first things first I actually found a
nice cop inside the game and I was
actually given a gun and a keycard so
that actually makes my life a whole lot
easier but the thing is
I didn't actually think this through. I
really did not think this through at all
guys because right now I am being chased
by a couple of other cops inside the
prison right now and I gotta get my butt
out of here
What I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go
ahead and hop into this SWAT van right
here and we are just gonna go ahead and
rocket fuel all the way out and a
BOOM just like that guys we have
managed a crazy frickin' easy escape.
Now to my knowledge the first thing you
actually want to do in this glitch guys
is you actually want to go ahead and go
over to the criminal base and get
yourselves some weapons because I'm
pretty sure later on you're gonna
actually need to rearrange the weapons
inside your hotbar in order for this
glitch to work so let's just go ahead
and turn the corner on it to the
criminal base road apparently I am
having some struggles driving right now
as I am just swarming into the walls
dude oh my gosh this is crazy
but let's go ahead and grab a shotgun
right here as well as a change of
clothes and now it is time for me to
head on up to the museum. Luckily I got
the homey Nick G 2005 right here he's
probably gonna be helping me out with
this robbery I think this guy will be
able to help me blow up the dynamite on
our way into the museum so that's
actually super super helpful Let's go
ahead and take a slight shortcut on it
to the museum road we'll go ahead and
rocket fuel up here that way we are on
this hill and now all we need to do guys
is go all the way up and then we should
be good to go the thing is I see some
people already over there I'm not
exactly too sure what they're doing
right now I'm pretty sure some people
are actually already robbing this but
you know if it takes an extra try or two
guys I think that's okay. Up the ladder
we go I'm pretty sure Nick 2005 is
following me anyway this actually works
out perfectly guys because it's already
open for us let's go ahead and start
grabbing some dinosaur bones
that way we can fill up our bag and guys
whoever was here actually left a bunch
of dinosaur bones for us this is
actually perfect oh my gosh okay so we
are already at four I think all I need
to do is go ahead and snag the paintings
and then I should be good this is gonna
be a little difficult though I am
actually kind of curious how these
lights actually turn a white that way
they don't do damage to me this is
actually a little difficult maybe I can
finesse my way by going into here let's
go ahead and grab this jewel that
actually goes for two so that's pretty
good and oh my god I just died
that did not just happen you've got to
be kidding me come on man back to the
museum I go oh my gosh that was the
biggest Anubha move I think I have ever
made in a side of jailbreak guys I
cannot believe I got explored by a
little laser like that like oh my gosh I
had never thought I'd see the day that
that would happen bro and I'm not sure
if you guys saw that but some dude
already freaking left with the money
some guy managed to complete the robbery
already you've gotta be kidding me how
the heck do I get back in bro Nick G
2005 they'll hold me that was helping me
out freaking rob the museum oh my gosh
guys the museum robbery is starting it
is time to try again but wait I am on
the ground what is going on alright
let's go ahead and start robbing guys we
got our money back right here let's go
ahead and grab all of these bones right
now let's go ahead and fill up guys it
is freaking a go time and now we got to
go ahead and try the same thing that we
were about to try earlier but this time
without dieing I
I'm having some trouble with that still
though because I am just freakin bad at
this game but it's okay here we go I
think somebody's trying to grab the
jewel right now so I actually need to go
ahead and grab this bone right here the
thing is I'm having a little bit of
trouble with this let's go ahead and go
into this room right now I got to go
ahead and try to grab this freaking mask
right here I think I should be able to
get it oh no guys I can't frickin fill
my bag bro my bag is too full I think I
might be able to get out though with
just a 7/8 inside my bag let's go ahead
and complete the puzzle now this is
super super easy all I need to do is get
all of these to line up I just messed
that one up though oh my gosh there we
go another one done and then one more
and then this should open guys alright
so now it is time to show y'all dis
glitch what you guys want to do is you
guys actually want to rearrange the guns
in your hotbar and you guys actually
want to go into this corner like right
here and then you guys just want to go
ahead and spam as a Crouch button and
then hopefully this should work I think
I need to go ahead and get to like right
here and I think I should be good there
we go come on come on guys
yes guys I'm glitched out of the museum
i frickin did it oh my gosh ladies and
gentlemen there you have it easy is that
oh my gosh that glitch is so frickin
Opie and now all we need to do is drive
to the collector
cash in our money huge shout out to vet
dev for this glitch thank you so much my
man you just made it so much easier to
get money out of the museum you don't
need a partner to open the code with you
at all
you don't need anybody to bring you out
with the helicopter all you need to do
is rearrange your hotbar
and go in the first person inside that
corner and you can make the money just
like freaking GG guys that was so hype I
didn't think that would actually work I
haven't actually done a glitch in
jailbreak successfully in such a long
time so I am so pumped about that
well anyways guys I think that's
actually gonna conclude in today's
episode of roblox jailbreak I hope you
guys enjoyed it that glitch if you guys
want to see more from me in the future

section below and if you guys enjoy
today's video be sure to leave a like
subscribe to the channel and hit the
notification bell so you guys get
notified every single time I upload a

Reaux, Reaux, Reaux Your Boat | Pink Panther Cartoons | The Inspector - Duration: 6:13.
[Inspector] The illusive smuggler Captain Clamity
had always managed to slip through our fingers.
So when we received a tip that he had been seen somewhere near the waterfront,
Sergeant Deux Deux and I rushed immediately to the scene.
Well, here we are Sergeant Deux Deux.
Now we'll get to bottom of all this, eh. Stop here.
[splash]
Oh, boy!
This is one of those bad days.
I should have stayed in the wrong side of bed.
Hey! Captain Clamity, you know what?
What is it, Crab Louie?
I think I see cops.
Cops! I hate cops.
You know how I hate them. You Know they irritate me.
And you know what happens when I get irritated.
[hiccups]
See, I break out in pearls.
Clam down, clam down!
After all... that is what we are smuggling, no?
Listen, Crab Louie, they may be pearls to you,
but they're ulcers to me.
[hiccups]
[Inspector] We soon learned about this smuggler's ship, eh.
She was anchored just offshore.
Pull harder on those oars back there, Deux Deux.
That ship looks like its about ten miles out.
And I want to reach her before dark.
-Faster -Si.
-Faster -Si.
Ah yes! I'm beginning to see her more clearly now.
You stupid fool. Are you going to sit there? We're sinking.
I go get a new boat and you wait right here, yeah?
Next time I'll sit in the back end.
This is close enough, Deux Deux.
-Si. -Don't say si, say oui.
Si. I... I mean oui.
Ahoy there, this is the police.
What do you want, copper?
I am coming aboard to search you. Drop a line.
[Louie] Very well, here she come.
One more row boat's coming up. Or going down.
I don't know which end is up anymore, what to do about it!
Hold it steady, Deux Deux, please.
-Si. -[Inspector] Say oui not si.
Okay... Okay boss, but you know I think I'm getting a little oui sick.
[Inspector] That's sea, not oui.
I got enough sea already.
All right, all of you in there. Don't move, this is the police.
That was just a warning, copper.
I think the Inspector must be, you know, one of those guys,
an underwater cover agent. One of those, I don't know...
-This way if I sink, you sink. -Si.
There they come again! I knew they wouldn't give up. I knew it. I knew it!
Don't worry, mon captaine.
This time I fix those coppers real good. You bet.
Well it's back to the dry dock, or the dry gooses.
I don't know. I'm going to call mom.
[Inspector] Now you understand, Deux Deux, this operation calls for an absolute silence.
-[Deux Deux loudly] Si. -[Inspector] Shut up you fool, not another word out of you.
Hey, Inspector, it's okay if I talk now?
[Inspector cursing in French]
[Inspector] It became obvious to me that this case did not present much of a challenge.
So before I became bored with the whole affair, I decided to close in on the culprits.
Ooh, that's a cold Luger.
Put up your clammy hands, you are under arrest.
Don't shoot! I'll tell you anything you want to know. I'll squeal. I'll blab.
I'll spill the works. I'll talk. Just try me. Ask me anything. I'll talk.
This is a clam?
[Louie] Drop it, copper.
Don't try to shoot it out. Ha! You got no place to duck for cover.
That is where you are sadly mistaken, monsieur.
[gunshots]
[Inspector] That will be sufficient. Now drop those weapons.
[Clamity] You heard him! Drop 'em. Drop 'em.
Ohhh. Deux Deux, dear boy, attend to the formalities of the arrest, please.
Si, Inspector.
Okay you hombres, you goose is cooked. So, don't fool around.
Because, oh boy, if you do...
Are you ready down there, Deux Deux?
-[Deux Deux] Si. -I want you to tow the ship into port as evidence.
Si, Inspector. Aren't you coming down now?
No. No my dear boy. I'm going to ride on this one. Those little boats aren't safe.
Okay, amigos. Start to row pronto.
[loud crash]
Holy frijoles! The poor Inspector. He's sinking down in the sea.
Don't say si, say oui.

You might think you are going to see the dog's last moments in life but you are wrong - Duration: 2:54.
when visitors first see the large Wildcat wrestling the small dock to the
ground they might think they are about to see the dogs last moments in life
however the activity between these two animals is all in fun because the Jaguar
the little Jack Russell terrier are best friends
Jack the Jaguar was brought to the Aqua by a logic predator park in South Africa
after he was found orphaned the young cat lured to his caretaker as
its foster mom but the park rangers knew that he would
need a companion for the early months of his life instead of another cat though
jag ended up with the most unlikely buddies a small dog named Boyd
it was a match made in heaven Leila the facility owner and Jack's
caretaker notes every night Jack needed comfort so he took me in as a mom and as
I could not let him sleep with me all the time
I put bullet with him these two struck it off straight away they don't leave
each other alone they feed together sleep together do
everything together they are like brothers
as Jack grew older and bigger he needed to move to his own enclosure and he and
bullet would have to be separated leymah states we separated the two of them and
it was a disaster the Jaguar cried for 24 hours and the dog sat at the gate
with hell moving
the two best friends were quickly reunited and now spend their days of the
nature preserved together playing and lounging around in harmony the dock is
the dominant one Leila explains
the Jaguar obviously has more power so if he is hurting him or anything
the dog will growl or bark and the Jaguar knows when to stop what did the
light will do here's to many more years of their friendship full of love and
respect

Will Video Games Eventually Replace Your Therapist? - Duration: 4:59.
[♪ INTRO ]
You might have heard that video games are bad for you.
They'll rot your brain, or make you violent, or antisocial, or something.
And parents often fret about what their child or teen's gaming hours are doing to their brains.
But what if we're thinking about video games all wrong?
Well, that's what some psychologists think.
Counterintuitive as it might seem, they're studying how we can use video games to improve
mental health, especially in kids and teens.
Studies estimate that only about a third of American teenagers with mental health disorders
actually receive treatment.
That may be because their parents are worried about the cost of therapy – which isn't
always covered by insurance – or because the kids are worried about the social stigma
that comes with "seeing a shrink".
So some psychologists think there's another way to help them out—give them video games.
Already, they're a nearly ubiquitous feature of the American childhood—surveys estimate
that over 90% of kids between the ages of 2 and 17 in the US play video games.
So they're socially acceptable, and relatively inexpensive.
Plus, since kids can play in their own homes, they can maintain their privacy.
And video games are fun.
You might not think it's important that therapy be fun, but enjoyment of an activity
does increase your motivation to keep doing it.
And all that means there's huge potential for certain video games to help mental health—but
only if they actually work.
And they just might.
Though the evidence is very preliminary, several trials have shown promise in using specially
designed video games to treat mild to moderate mental illness.
Many of these therapeutic games are based on already existing treatments like cognitive
behavioral therapy – a type of good ole talk therapy which aims to help people identify
and alter problematic thoughts or behaviors.
For example, researchers in New Zealand created a game called SPARX for treating depression.
Through playing, kids ultimately learn strategies for relaxation, social interaction, and dealing
with difficult emotions and situations much like they would in therapy.
But that's all disguised as an interactive fantasy video game.
When the game's designers compared it with regular counseling in a trial of nearly 200
kids, both groups showed about equal improvement, indicating that SPARX might be just as effective
as therapy.
And similar results were found by researchers working with a game called MindLight.
In MindLight, children navigate through a scary mansion, learning techniques to control
their anxiety along the way.
And in a preliminary trial of 174 kids with anxiety, six weekly sessions of gameplay worked
about as well as eight weekly sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy.
Similar trials have been conducted on games designed for adults with equally positive
results.
Though such findings still need to be replicated by other researchers – ones who weren't
involved in making the games – before these games could become widely-accepted therapies,
the results are encouraging.
Scientists are now designing games to try and treat everything from addiction to eating
disorders to ADHD.
There are even some in the works to help manage psychosis.
Other researchers are hoping to create social support networks in virtual reality, or integrate
video games into therapeutic programs.
And they might not have to create all these games from scratch.
Researchers have found playing certain simple distracting games like Peggle and Bejeweled
can improve mood, so they could help manage stress or even depression.
And the right game could maybe even help treat illnesses like PTSD.
In one 2010 study, researchers had 60 healthy participants watch a traumatic film and then
play Tetris, a word game, or no game at all.
In the following week, subjects had fewer flashbacks concerning the film if they had
played Tetris compared to the other two groups.
The researchers think that may be because visual games like Tetris somehow interfere
with the storage of the traumatic images as long-lasting memories.
Though, this has yet to be confirmed with people who've experienced actual traumatic
events.
And the word game actually made flashbacks worse in one experiment— so the choice of
game seems to be really important.
None of these studies invalidate the research that has found some games, especially violent
ones, can possibly increase stress and aggression in some people.
So if doctors are looking into using video games therapeutically, they'll need to be
careful about which they use and how they use them.
Not to mention though, they'll have to consider the effects of different games might have
on different types of people, because even games designed to be therapeutic probably
won't work the same for everyone.
But, the results coming from these preliminary studies using video games in a more clinical
way are exciting, especially to psychologists working with younger patients.
And that's because mental health disorders seem to be a growing problem among children
and teens in America, with rates of things like depressive episodes and anxiety jumping
20 to 30 percent in recent decades.
While traditional therapies can be highly effective, they often don't reach the kids
who need them the most.
So even though there's a lot of work to be done, there's hope that video games will
one day make therapy more widely accessible, leading to happier healthier kids.
And in the meantime, maybe you can tell the haters that rag on you for your gaming to
chill out a bit.
Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow Psych!

episode on whether violent video games actually make you more aggressive.

Megan Tries It: How To Get Glowing Skin | goop - Duration: 2:31.
Hi, I'm Megan.
I'm the senior beauty editor at goop.
I'm loving the goop products, and two of my favorite, favorite ones are the
goop Luminous Melting Cleanser and the goop Exfoliating Instant Facial.
They actually work incredibly together.
So the first thing I use is the goop Luminous Melting Cleanser.
The thing you want to do with this is use it on dry skin.
It doesn't have any of the toxic chemicals or surfactants, so you don't need it to lather.
I put a little on my face and a little really goes a long way.
So I smooth the Luminous Melting Cleanser into my face for about thirty seconds.
Then the best way to take it off is not to just rinse with water but to use the
beautiful organic cotton cloth that it comes with.
Make sure it's wet, then wring it out.
And then you just smooth it over your face, like this, to take off the cleansing balm.
Afterward your skin feels super soft and smooth and just looks fantastic.
After I wash my face with the Luminous Melting Cleanser,
I move on to the goop Exfoliating Instant Facial.
Check it out.
You just take a bit, smooth it on.
I like to smooth it on damp skin so I know that things are really penetrating.
You want to keep it on until you feel the tingling, and if you're like me and you're
not tremendously sensitive, you probably want to take it off after about two minutes.
First time I used Instant Facial was at a wedding in New Orleans and I'd come off the
flight; I was exhausted; I felt crappy.
I went to my hotel room.
I washed my face.
And then I swear to you, eight people that night were like, "Your skin is insanely glowy."
So ever since then I've been into Instant Facial.
And then you're glowy.
The next best step is hydration, so my favorite face oil is Vintner's Daughter.
It's this amazing, powerfully healing, nourishing, skin-perfecting blend
of all these essential oils, like frankincense and sea buckthorn and lavender.
I use three drops, and then I just press it onto my face, and it smells like heaven,
and it feels so soothing.
And that is how you get glowy.

'Rough Beginnings: Jon Makes A House Call'' Official Highlight | Bar Rescue (Season 6) - Duration: 1:58.
Rough few days?
- Very. - Very.
Yeah. Well, you and I had a rough beginning, didn't we?
-We did. -How did you feel that first night?
Embarrassed.
Uh, I felt like you really mopped the floor with me.
You know, but, uh,
it was necessary.
It was necessary. Somebody needed to wake me up.
What did you learn in the kitchen the other night?
If you're gonna go into any place to eat,
wanna make sure cleanliness is number one.
Uh, organization, and definitely, um,
an open line of communication.
That's all good stuff,
but that doesn't answer the question, really.
When we look at the kitchen stations,
who's gonna manage the kitchen?
Who's gonna make sure
that everything comes out by the table?
-Sure. -Who's gonna call the orders in?
Tell them what I need. "I needed this.
I'm missing that. Come on, let's get this done."
To make sure that everything is coordinated
and properly led.
- Can you make that happen? - Definitely.
We're gonna have to put the right people
in the proper place,
and then I'm gonna have to lead 'em.
What did you learn this week?
I learned that it does all start with me.
You know? I'm the one responsible,
'cause I go, they follow.
So when I fail, that's what--
- that's why they fail. - Yeah.
I want you to recommit to her that you're gonna step up.
I'm definitely gonna do that.
'cause this recommitment to each other is important.
If he starts to slow down, talk to him.
And if you need help--
- She's always there for 'em. - Exactly right.
I gotta go build your bar.
- Thanks, Jon. - All right, thank you so much.
- Thank you so much. - My pleasure.
Jon was telling me, you know, that it all starts with me.
So I have to man up and take on my responsibilities,
and make sure that everybody else follows.
But I have to make sure that I'm a good leader.
All right, I appreciate it, Jon.

The Top 5 Best Nintendo Switch Indie Games of July 2018 - Duration: 8:00.
hi there and welcome to get into gaming today we're covering the top 5 indie
games we play throughout the month of July well this is fewer than the normal
for the serious given removed countries over the past month and our main gaming
PC Xbox and PlayStation 4 have all been in storage we've only had the switch for
company of course that's no real hardship given the quality of games
coming out on this particular system one that's quickly becoming our favorite
console of this particular generation up next we have a third offering in a
much-loved series a hugely tongue-in-cheek game about Paul Plus
also something for fans of the punch-out series so without wasting any more time
let's get on with the rundown I have returned and together we will craft you
into the tool of my vengeance
let's begin this countdown of the top five games we've played this past month
on the switch with the hand of fate - offering a mix of chance and combat
gameplay that's pretty unique while graphically not one of the strongest
games on the platform and also doing without touch screen or gesture controls
although for what we're given it all told a pretty compelling package with
first-rate storytelling the dealer also is a true highpoint with superb voice
acting throughout and this alone creates much of the in-game atmosphere
essentially a straight port from the PC version it launches on a switch with all
of the aftermarket DLCs this includes the dealers apprentice and shattered
Memories each of the 22 Mini adventures offer plenty in the way of variety
replayability and the whole thing has a decent enough run time if you missed out
on this first time round on the PC it's well worth picking it up and it's
certainly one we're going to be coming back to again at a later date
originally out on the PC last year in a game we featured in one of our
Kickstarter showcase videos our number for this month Patou box launched onto
the switch earlier in the month having played the games of the punch-out series
a long long time ago this and other influences are clearly on show aside
from that the monochrome design choice puts us in mind of a graphically painted
novel a styling that's been cleverly implemented and one that works very well
both in handheld and docked mode as for how it plays as a boxing game with
adventure sections its exploration parts and lost battles feel well spaced and
while there's some performance issues here and there this didn't bother us too
much the writing and character development is pretty good and cool
throughout and who quite frankly doesn't want to play a boxing game as a man with
the head of a duck silliness aside Patou Box is a classy game that's full of well
implemented touches it's full of charm and all in together with a varied and
punchy soundtrack does what it does with quite some skill billed as the world's
least realistic pool simulator pool panic takes its basic cue from the pub
classic game of billiards before twisting the premise into something so
very different it's hard to follow the line back to its beginnings Paul panics
an immensely fun game to play although not without its issues more on that a
little bit later once you've seen off the tutorial you
can cannon your way into an open-ended world with various puzzles and things
you have to go and figure out before Paul panic has you sticking the black
ball into the hole before you dive after it and go on to the next level sure it's
a knee wacky and many other words beginning with Y and yet at times we
became confused by the levels design all the open world itself where we often
didn't quite know where we should be going a camera angle - with it being
fixed is another area of irritation and while we're at it a stronger sense of
narrative and story would have helped push things along okay so that's all
rather monie but still harshness aside it's still an exceptionally fun game to
play particularly in handheld mode in short bursts it's perfect for the
morning commute on the train or bus Latta where most of our time has been
spent playing it yes it's flawed but it's certainly worth picking up for its
humor and casual play style the number-two spot for games we played this
July the Lions song is a series of stories set within the early 20th
century Austria that explores the rising fame of various artists and the changing
world around them another port from the PC the lion song comprises of four
episodes where you explore like an old-school adventure game from 15 years
ago via the cursor while clicking on items on the screen and making dialogue
choices along the way these can make subtle changes to the narrative as you
go through it and this happens through each of the
episodes in a very clever design option the lion song allows you to start from a
specific choice section so you're able to make the opposite decisions without
overwriting your original save point in a common theme for this month's episode
what really struck us here and playing this game was the strength of the
characters and overall prose while often poetic were given glimpses into their
lives and experiences that will resonate with many players in a way that feels
intimate and very empathetic the art style and visual design is very
different from the norm and works a treat with its sepia filter color
palette and suitably matching score for some the nature of how you play it will
give cause to ask the question if this is really a game in the standard
definition this we understand although we're more than happy to have it at the
number two slot for this July and if you don't normally pick these things up it's
a game we suggest checking out you might just surprise yourself
the end has come
at number one the final installment in the banner saga series the banner saga 3
gets going right after the end of the second game while there is a recap you
won't get as much from this if you haven't already played through the first
two parts particularly in relation to the games law and character development
like the others the gameplay remains split between making choices as you
progress through a level such as allowing other travelers to join your
group battle sequences and managing your party battles are the best they've ever
been with the implementation of the new wave system and something called the
darkness that makes them more complex and longer-lasting as well as being an
integral part of the story the darkness is turning certain races and characters
into hard as heck beings that have strengths and abilities think pesky
zombies although much much stronger and you've got to see them off these battles
of the hardest the game has to offer and when you're victorious there's a huge
sense of achievement of word of warning though brute strength is usually not the
way to win these encounters just like others in this series the Banner Saga 3
has an amazing orchestral musical score that's both sublime and creates an
amazing engagement level and presence throughout the gameplay the visuals on
offer here are also the finest of the trilogy with a design that reminds us of
early Disney works such as the Sleeping Beauty all in all it's a fitting end to
the series and one we can happily recommend as we said at the start
players with experience of parts 1 & 2 are likely to get more out of this than
newcomers although please don't let this put you off starting afresh as overall
it's utterly superb with the Banner Saga 3 fading away were almost finished up on
today's video coming in August with all the usual indie game goodies and
hopefully a collaboration video with indieformer to look forward to we're

At-Home Hockey Conditioning Workout [For Small Spaces] 🏒 - Duration: 3:18.
- What's up, hockey players?
Kevin here from HockeyTraining.com,
and in this video, I'm gonna take you through
a body weight hockey conditioning workout
that you can do at home with limited space
and no equipment.
Before we get into the workout,
we're gonna run through a quick warmup.
We've got four exercises
that we're gonna run through in a circuit.
First up is prisoner squats.
Perform 10 reps
to start off the warm up.
Next, we go on to six mountain climbers per leg
or 12 total.
Then we're getting up for cossack squats.
We've got six per legs or 12 total here as well.
The last exercise of the warm up is push-ups.
Perform 10 push-ups before resting 30-45 seconds
and run in through the warm up circuit one more time.
Now it's time to get into conditioning workout.
We're gonna run through three super sets
and then finish off with a 60-second finisher exercise.
The first exercise is gonna be plyo push-ups.
We're gonna be doing five push-ups
exploding up and clapping at the top of each.
Once finished the push-ups, we'll rest 10 seconds
before moving on to the second exercise of the super set.
Next up is vertical jumps.
We're gonna do five vertical jumps,
jumping as high as you can without pausing between jumps.
Once finished, rest 45 seconds
and then repeat the super set for a total of four rounds.
The second super set starts off
with Bulgarian split squat jumps.
Find something just under knee height for this
and perform three jumps per leg.
When finished, rest 10 seconds
before moving on to the next exercise of the super set.
Get down to the ground for eight
close grip push-ups for speed.
Focus on being explosive but make sure
you go through the full range of motion.
When finished the eight reps,
rest 45 seconds and then repeat
the super set for four rounds as well.
The first exercise of our last super set
is alternating split squat jumps.
We're doing three jumps per leg here
or six total of jumps.
Rest 10 seconds before moving into the next exercise.
The second half of the super set is going to be
a 60-second plank.
Focus on contracting the core
and keeping your body in a straight line
without having your butt too far in the air
or having your hips sagging down.
Once 60 seconds is up, rest 45 seconds
and repeat the super set for a total of four rounds.
To finish off this workout,
we're gonna run through 60 seconds of military burpees.
Run through as many burpees as you can
in the 60 seconds, keeping track in your head
so you can challenge yourself to beat your score next time
you do this workout.
Congrats, you've just run through
a grueling hockey conditioning workout
with no equipment needed.

Organization Management Part II - Duration: 6:06.
Welcome to this week's topic in Organizational Management in Health Care Systems – Planning
and Decision-Making Next Slide Please
Health Care managers have essential roles in organizational planning and decision-making
in pursuit of achieving organizational goals and mission.
How an organization achieves its goals involves strategic planning and decision-making processes.
The use of evidence and design-thinking in decision-making will be explored.
Next slide please.
Learning Objectives for this week: After completing this module, learners will
be able to: Explain the importance of strategic planning
in health care organizations.
Identify the role of the manager in strategic planning.
Discuss the use of evidence in decision-making by the manager.
Identify the role for "design thinking" in health care organizations.
Next slide please.
You may wonder what is the difference between "routine" planning and "strategic"
planning.
Planning – deciding what to do, and how Strategic Planning – identifying a future
state and how to achieve it Next slide please.
Strategic Planning is important to health care organizations.
There are controllable and uncontrollable factors affecting organizations.
Strategic planning helps provide thoughtful/strategic direction to navigate those forces.
Having a plan helps with resource allocation to reach the desired future state of the organization.
You can't open a new building or a new service line without considering what type and numbers
of staff you need.
Next slide please.
One Planning strategy to help with strategic planning is conducting a SWOT Analysis.
This aims to identify the internal strengths and weaknesses of the organization, along
with the external opportunities and threats.
Many local health care organizations have opened facilities in the northern suburbs
of Cincinnati, specifically Liberty Township and West Chester communities.
Think about what those communities looked like 15-20 years ago – rural but developing
locations.
Local hospitals saw the long-range impact of having more people living north of Cincinnati-proper,
and strategically planned to grab a share of the health care market by building facilities
closer to where people lived.
Can you think of one focus for each of the SWOT steps around this example?
Here's one way: Strength – organization has capital to expand
and build in the northern suburb Weakness – currently no presence in the
northern suburb Opportunity – growing market, huge developments
being built, lots of people; people need healthcare Threat – if we don't act or build, we
will lose out on market share.
Next slide please.
All levels of managers participate in planning and strategic planning.
Managers should Monitor the internal and external environment
for trends Be aware of the strategic direction of the
organization Identify ways to support the organization
in its strategic direction Ensure subordinates know their role in supporting
the strategic direction.
Next slide please.
Decision-making is the process of choosing among alternatives to determine and implement
a course of action.
We all participate in decision-making every day, don't we?
When you make a schedule or group of assignments, you make decisions, don't you?
When you prioritize your patients' care, you make decisions, don't you?
Who you see first, who you see second, etc.
When you enroll your children in school, you make decisions, correct?
When you decide where to go on vacation, you make decisions, right?
So do managers.
There is a field of study known as evidence-based management.
Next slide please.
The article "Evidence-based management: Foundations, development, controversies and
future" by Sara Rynes and Jean Bartunek was provided for you emerging leaders to consider
as you move into management roles.
Just as there are best practices identified in nursing and medicine, there are best practices
in management.
This is an emerging field of study.
Among the many definitions of Evidence-based management is: Evidence-based management is
a professional form of managerial practice.
It is about making decisions through the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of the best available
evidence from multiple sources to help managers choose effective ways to manage people and
structure organizations (Rynes, 2014).
It is up to you to stay current in management literature to learn about best practices in
management and to implement strategies to enhance your success as a manager.
Next slide please Design-thinking is included in this discussion
of planning and decision-making even though it is another emerging field.
It uses the designer's sensibility and methods to match people's needs with what is technologically
feasible and what a viable business strategy can convert into customer value and market
opportunity.
As organizations look for a competitive advantage, design-thinking should be involved in the
processes.
Design thinking is focused on finding solutions rather than explaining problems.
It protects against "analysis paralysis."
In design thinking, problems are looked upon as system problems with opportunities for
systemic solutions involving different procedures and concepts to create a holistic solution.
These are demonstrated through the use of mock-ups and prototype examples.
Next slide please.
The planning strategy known as SWOT stands for:
D. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats – these steps allow an organization to identify
the internal strengths and weaknesses of the organization, along with the external opportunities
and threats.
(Buchbinder and Shanks, p. 109; Olden, p. 39-40).
Next slide please.
Only senior level managers have a role in strategic planning.
B. False – Health care managers at all levels have role in strategic planning.
(Buchbinder and Shanks, p. 122).
Next slide please.
Evidence-based Management is: D. All of the above; it is an emerging field
of study, it is specifically about the role of the Manager; and it is a strategy to help
Managers be successful in their roles as managers (Rynes and Bartunek, 2017).
Next slide please.
An emerging field that managers should explore adopting as part of their decision-making
strategy is design-thinking.
A. True; As organizations look for a competitive advantage, design-thinking should be involved
in the processes (Brown, 2008).
It focuses on finding solutions – uses visualizations, mock-ups, prototyping (Meyer, 2015).
This is the final slide in this presentation.

Upcoming Seasonal Work at Home Jobs: Get Those Applications In! - Duration: 15:10.
- Hey, Angie Nelson here, from the theworkathomewife.com.
Today we're going to be talking about
something that I'm really excited about,
and that is holiday work-from-home jobs.
Now, we know that there are going to be a lot of great
seasonal positions that are coming open here
in just the very near future.
A lot of these positions are going to start training
in August and September,
and this is going to be a great opportunity
for some of you who are still looking
for your first work-at-home job
or maybe even another work-at-home job,
to get a position rather quickly.
And these seasonal positions are
how I got my work-at-home start almost 11 years ago.
Now, a lot of the companies that we are going to be
talking about today may have positions open now,
or we're probably expecting them
to have some positions open in the next few weeks.
So get your notebooks ready,
and make sure you listen 'til the end of the video
to find out how you can get some more information
on the companies that we're speaking about in this video,
along with some others.
Now, as I mentioned,
these are going to be holiday work-at-home jobs.
Many of the companies that we are
going to be speaking about today are getting ready
to fill a large number of positions
to cover the holiday shopping season.
So, as you might have anticipated,
a lot of these are going to be customer service
or sales-related positions.
And while that may not be your dream job,
I want you to still keep an open mind about these positions.
A lot of you have told me that you've been working,
looking for a work-a-home job for quite some time
and it's just not happening.
Now, what we run into quite a bit in the work-at-home world
is that many companies are working
for previous work-at-home experience.
And that can be kind of a catch-22 for beginners
because how are you going to get work-at-home experience
if you can't get your first work-at-home job?
Well, these positions that we're talking about today,
a lot of them are going to be open to newcomers
because they are looking to fulfill such a,
to fill up such a large number of positions
in a short period of time.
And, as I mentioned, these are short-term positions.
So even if this isn't your dream job,
you may be able to do it for a couple of months here
so that you can get some experience to put on your resume,
to help you get that job that you're really looking for.
Now, the first position that we're going to be
talking about today is virtual call positions with Amazon.
Amazon is a well-known and trusted company,
so you can apply to them
with confidence that this is a legitimate position.
They do have a large number of positions that are available
leading up to the holiday shopping season,
but these positions do fill fast.
This is a really coveted position among work-at-homers.
These positions, they are temporary,
but if you do a great job and you show up for your schedule,
some of them do lead into permanent positions.
Now, Amazon does hire employees instead of,
as opposed to independent contractors.
They usually are looking for a commitment
of about 20 to 29 hours per week,
and the pay for these is reportedly around $10 an hour.
If you are bilingual or you do have some other skills,
there may be some opportunities
for some increased pay there.
Now, Amazon currently hires in 30 states across the US,
so you'll want to check their job description
for a full list of where these positions are available
and where they're hiring right now.
Now, while we're speaking of Amazon,
you may want to check out Amazon Flex.
Amazon Flex is a new vertical for Amazon,
and they hire independent contractors as drivers.
Now, in these positions,
what you'll be doing is delivering Amazon Prime packages.
Now, at the time of filming this video in July of 2018,
Amazon has on their Flex website
that drivers can earn 18 to 25 dollars per hour.
Now, I would expect that a lot of that has to do
with the location and the hours that are available,
but you'll want to check into that for yourself.
Now, unlike the Amazon Virtual Call Center position,
this one does allow you to set your own schedule
and also your own availability through the Flex app.
This one's only currently available in about 50 US cities,
but you can get on the wait-list.
Now, another one that we have seen
in the last couple of weeks is The Gap.
They don't hire work-from-home agents often.
But when they do, the applicants can flood into these fast
so that you will want to keep an eye open
on their website for this one.
Now, The Gap hires for employee positions,
and these can include medical, dental, vision,
and life insurance and 401(k).
These do also come with an employee discount, I'm told.
Now, these positions are going to be location-specific,
so you will need to watch their job board for any openings
and see where those positions are currently available.
The most recent openings were in Ohio,
and those ones did include email chat positions as well.
Now, another really popular virtual call center position
is for HSN, or the Home Shopping Network.
This is a really fun gig.
Unfortunately, it's only available in three states.
Those are Florida, Ohio, and Tennessee at this time.
Occasionally, we do see
positions available in Virginia as well.
Now, the pay isn't openly disclosed on this one,
but they do say that it is competitive
compared to other similar positions.
A lot of the feedback on the HSN positions
is that this is a really fun and laid-back gig.
There's a lot of flexibility,
and benefits are available as well.
Now, Liveops is a company that covers
virtual call positions for a lot of different companies.
You are going to find a lot of variety here,
ranging from inbound sales
to roadside assistance, tech support,
insurance claims, customer service.
There are some food order-taking positions
available on occasion, and there's also some
in the healthcare and payroll support divisions as well.
Now, Liveops does keep a running job board on their site,
so you are going to be able to see
what positions they do have available at this time
and apply to those individual clients.
That job board is also going
to tell you the hourly commitments
and also the hours that are available.
Now, some of these positions at Liveops, they do have no
weekly hourly commitment,
so those can be a really flexible gig
that you can kind of keep in your back pocket
for when you need some extra cash.
Some of the other positions
that they have are going to be up to 30-plus hours per week.
Now, Liveops hires independent contractors,
as opposed to some of those employee positions
that we spoke about before.
Now, some of the differences
you're going to run into with those,
the employee positions, they will take their taxes,
they will take payroll taxes
out of your check each pay period.
The independent contractor side of that,
you're going to be responsible for paying your own taxes.
Now, what that,
so, kind of means sometimes is that,
while you are running into a lot of that $10 an hour pay
with those employee positions,
some of the independent contractor positions do pay more,
and they do have a little bit more income potential.
With Liveops,
a lot of their positions
are paid
by talk time, and what that means is you're paid
per minute that you're on the phone.
Now, another thing you'll run into when you need
to determine whether you want to be an employee
or an independent contractor, is a lot of times,
on the independent contractor side of things,
you have a lot more flexibility in your scheduling.
You get to determine what your schedule is.
A lot of times, on the employee side of things,
they're determining what your hours will be,
how many hours per week you'll work,
and what those hours will be.
So that's a lot of what determines what is an employee
and what is an independent contractor,
is how much control you have over your schedule.
And another thing, as I mentioned
in a couple of the previous job positions,
is the employee positions,
sometimes those do come with benefits,
like health insurance or 401(k) programs
or some of the different employee discounts
and paid time off,
things that you expect from an employee position.
Independent contractor positions,
those usually don't have any of those benefits involved,
and sometimes that's what will
determine that increase in pay as well,
is you're going to have to cover
a lot of those expenses yourself.
Getting back to Liveops,
we were talking about the scheduling,
they do allow you to schedule in 30-minute blocks.
That's something that's appreciated
by a lot of work-at-homers
that do have to plan their days around children's schedules,
or maybe you have an elderly parent that you need
to take care of and get to doctors' appointments
and things like that.
Those 30-minute time blocks
can really make a great difference in your scheduling,
as opposed to having to sit down
and work a four-hour time block at one time.
Now, Liveops does require you to pay
for a background check that's $45.
That's not too uncommon
for a lot of these virtual call center positions,
so it shouldn't be something that raises a red flag,
unless it's a company that you're not familiar with.
But for a lot of these,
you will run into having to pay for a background check,
and that usually runs about 15 to 45 dollars.
Now, NexRep is another company
that offers a lot of different work-at-home positions.
They can range from those As Seen On TV infomercials
that you see to answering phones for salons.
They're, or, excuse me,
the openings that they have available,
they are really varied,
and they change a lot from time to time,
so you do want to keep an eye on their available positions
for the clients they're hiring for at this time.
Now, the pay is going to be based on the project at NexRep.
Each client's going to have their own pay rate.
Some of those may be only $10 per hour.
Some of the sales positions do offer the potential
to earn more than $25 per hour.
Now, while we are talking about
seasonal work-at-home positions,
a company that we do know has training scheduled
to start in September is Nordstrom.
Now, at the time of filming this video,
Nordstrom had two seasonal work-at-home positions available.
One was in Florida, and one was in North Carolina.
Now, these are employee positions as well,
and these are going to offer benefits.
But they do come with a full-time schedule,
and that schedule is determined by the company.
And it says right in those job descriptions
that schedule flexibility is required
and expected from people in these positions.
And these two positions are going to start out at $15.15
per hour with incentives and employee discounts and,
excuse me, employee benefits and a discount.
Now, Wayfair is another one that is going
to have some training starting in September.
These positions seem to be going really fast
when they're on their job board.
Within a couple of days, they're usually taken down,
so you will want to keep an eye
on the Wayfair job board or the FlexJobs
job board, as you'll want to apply to those
as soon as they come up.
These are customer service positions,
and that training is slated to start on September 10th.
Now, the last thing we're going to talk about today
is Williams-Sonoma.
This is one that we do see pop up
from time to time throughout the year.
These are going to be really location-specific
positions as well.
They do require some on-site training,
so that is why the positions
are really determined by the location.
They do have to be within a certain mileage
from their call centers.
A few locations that they have open right now are Las Vegas,
Oklahoma City, Columbus, Dallas,
San Francisco, The Colony, Texas, and a few others.
And Williams-Sonoma says that the pay for these
is $12 an hour with employee benefits
and an employee discount.
Now, there are a couple other companies
that you'll want to keep your eye open on.
These are companies that hire a large number of clients,
like we spoke about with Liveops and NexRep.
These companies will be Sitel, Sutherland, and SYKES.
You'll want to keep an eye on those.
Those are likely to have a large number
of positions available in the upcoming weeks.
And, as always, you can keep an eye
on the individual company's job board.
FlexJobs is always a great place
to check out for legitimate leads,
or you can hop over to my website.
I do have a job boards lead
that is updated throughout the week.
And that one is going to have,
I'll leave a link for that one
down in the description below.
Now, as I said, even if these companies
don't have positions open at this time,
they may in the upcoming weeks,
so you're going to want to keep an eye open on those positions
and make sure you're getting your application in
as soon as possible when you do see those coming up.
And, as I said, even if this isn't your dream job,
if you can make it work for a couple of months,
I highly recommend it,
especially if you're new to the work-at-home world.
It's going to give you that much-needed experience
that you need to put on your resume,
and it's always nice to have some extra spending money
for the upcoming holiday season anyway.
Now, I hope you liked today's video.
If you did, please give it a like and a share.
And make sure that you're subscribed,
so you'll get notification of the next video.
I'll also leave you some links to some of the companies
that we spoke about in today's video,
along with my job board that you can check out
for the most recent job openings that we see available.
Until next time, I wish you most success
in your work-at-home job search.

Everyday Night Skin Care Routine - Duration: 5:00.
I'm not wearing any makeup. I know I look like the rat from kim possible. The
mole rat. I'm doing a night skincare routine at... 1:28 in the afternoon. I got
one request on my previous video for my curly hair routine which, by the way go
watch that. That needs some love man. They're like, "Why is your skin so good?"
Which honestly it's not really working. You know what, I'm just gonna be showing you what
products I use when I do to my face what masks I use and recommend. Let's get into
it
I'm just waiting for my sister to screenshot. So I'm gonna be showing you
all the products that I use and the products that are used nightly. So this
one I use nightly it's I got it from Mary Kay like Mary Kay cleared up my
skin completely it's the cleansing gel. I don't use it that much because it
dries up my skin a lot but it dries up those crusty zits. This one I kind of
use daily, Rodan and Fields is really good. It basically closes your
pores. I use toner like probably like three times a week because this also
dries up my skin a little too much but it also closes up your pores
after that mask so yeah. It's also from Rodan and Fields, if Mary Kay doesn't
work out for you, I recommend using the Rodan and Fields. Any male product is
actually pretty good I'm not gonna lie like this black mask also cleared up
my skin. It's a pore clearing peel-off mask so
that's pretty groovy am I right. I'm not so big on this it's also at Walmart,
Target, Five & Below my favorite place ever. But it makes your face feel like
toothpaste. It's a deep pore cleansing peel off basically the same thing but I
like the black mask better. I feel like it's stronger. I'm going to be using this
today, I don't use masks all the time probably like once or twice a week. Twice
a week if I'm feeling dandy. You're know going to be needing a small
towel because like you're not gonna use one of those big ones that you clean
your body with I mean that's just gross. So a small towel. Oh you're gonna need
water... I think I made the polar bears extinct. Cue that Russian music one time a
baby was looking at me doing this at like Chuck E Cheese and she thought it
was like ripping my wig off. Oh I look so gross oh my god. So you start off with
the cleanser
I would recommend using a cotton ball with this but since we're not like that
freakin toilet paper. My mom says not to use it not to use toilet paper which I
don't understand is why and she's like because it's bad luck you know what
the most satisfying thing about this is you get to see all the crusty dirt that
comes out of your face. I'm gonna start using this while I put it on I'm gonna
play this Despacito because I think the Russian music is getting old.
Okay so wait for like ten minutes. Six and a half hours later... my paper thin
eyebrows are really starting to irritate me. Alright so that's my skin night time
skincare routine. Remember I put the mask on like twice a week, I wash my face
every night and every morning, and I put the toner on like three times a week
because my skin is very dry. I'm going to start posting twice a week let's see if
I could hold my word up to that because my weekly uploads have gave me a lot of
subscribers so that's pretty sweet. Go give my curly hair routine some love
I want to reach 1,000 views on that one. Follow all of my social media if I'm not active
on YouTube because most likely I am dead on YouTube and I'm active on all social
media. Like Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, yeah I'll see you in another upload
which should be this week. So peace out brochachos!

Lavrov Biefs Press On Territory Of Meanings On Klyazma Forum - Duration: 1:27.
What are your impressions of the meeting and the questions asked by the children?
My impressions were excellent, as from all previous visits.
You always agree to attend such events and find time in your busy schedule.
I think it is very important because we basically rely on the views and opinions that people form on foreign policy issues.
We feel that they are overwhelmingly positive.
This inspires us.
We certainly want young people to learn as much as possible firsthand from working diplomats, what we do in the international arena,
why we do it, why and how that correlates with the goals set by the President of Russia to create the most favourable conditions for our internal development and upholding the rights of citizens.
Even in the medium term, there are young people gathered here who will be taking posts related to decision-making and policymaking in 5-10 years.
It is very important for us to ensure continuity.
Maybe some of them will join your ministry?
We already have people who, as children, passed through this school or through the Russian Leaders project.
Thank you.

Keep Moving Forward: Mark Braun - I Like To Go Fast - Duration: 1:31.
[Music]
Mark Braun: When I first came here to the United States, my feet were totally upside down. So the doctors had to re-correct them so they were right side up. So think about walking on the top of your feet and that being the bottom of your feet, and the bottom of your feet being the top of your feet.
Host: This is Keep Moving Forward.
George H.W. Bush: Let the shameful wall of exclusion finally come tumbling down.
Host: Exploring the legacy and promise of the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Mark Braun: My name is Mark Braun. I am a US Paralympic athlete with Team USA. I am a head program coach, and I am a motivational speaker.
I was born with spina bifida.
You know, I don't really look at my disability as a stumbling block. I don't look at it as an obstacle. I look at it as, "You know what? This is who I am, and I'm going to take with it and run with it."
I've been a four-time national champion in wheelchair basketball, a gold medalist in wheelchair basketball. But then I really found out that basketball wasn't my thing, and so I was like, "Well, what is?" And so I was also doing track, and I was fast, and I like to go fast.
And so to do track, I loved it, because one, I went fast; two, I performed well. And I am the second fastest sprinter in the US.
Host: Keep Moving Forward is supported by the Minnesota Council on Disability ...

... and the Minnesota Arts & Cultural Heritage Fund ...

Parents Complain They Have To Buy School Pens – Now See The Teacher's Response That
Has The Net Boiling Over.
Teacher Leland Michael works at a municipal school in Iowa, USA.
One day while out shopping at Walmart, he passed through the school supply aisle and
encountered parents who recognized him from school.
They were buying supplies for their children and asked the teacher if it was really necessary
that they themselves had to purchase so many things.
They discussed the matter a bit, and then Leland went on his way.
As he got to the cash, he met another parent who also wanted to exchange some words with
the teacher.
That discussion would lead to a most realization for the teacher, who later decided to take
to Facebook to share it.
And i'm so glad he did!
I was feeling pretty jaded this morning as two different sets of parents at Walmart stopped
me in the school supplies aisle to complain about how much they had to get their kids
this year.
"This is just ridiculous.
I do not know how these teachers think we are suppose to get all this stuff."
As they complained, they seemed to be oblivious to the fact that my cart was filled with a
class set of all the supplies they were buying–which should have been a pretty clear indication
that I was one of those greedy teachers they were complaining about, he wrote on Facebook.
"While I was checking out, though, things took a very different turn.
I noticed the man in front of me in the checkout lane was buying school supplies for his daughter.
As he went to leave, he said to me, "You are a teacher, right?
I just want to thank you for everything you do.
I see your cart is full with supplies, and I just wanted to help out as much as I can."
Then he handed me a $25 Wal-Mart gift card, shook my hand, and walked away with his daughter
smiling big at me.
While I was extremely moved by the man's generosity, the part that stuck with me the
most was the difference in his message to his daughter compared with the parents who
had been complaining earlier.
The kids who heard their parents complaining heard this message: "School is not important
enough to spend money on it, teachers are not to be trusted and have bad judgement,
and learning does not require investment."
The kid whose dad handed me the gift card heard: "School is important enough that
we should give more than required to make sure it is successful, teachers should be
respected and valued, and learning requires us giving it everything we have."
If money is tight, and you struggle to buy your child school supplies, I understand.
Do not worry: more than likely your child will have a teacher and a school that makes
sure they have the supplies they need to be successful this year.
However, as a parent, do your best to send the right message to your child.
The man who gave me the gift card not only made my day, but I also know that his daughter
will enter the classroom this year with a very different perspective about her teacher
and her education, and that is extremely powerful!"
I think this teacher makes an extraordinarily important point!
If parents show their children that school is important, then maybe children will want
to spend more energy learning things!
This teacher's post has already been shared over 400,000 times on Facebook, and I totally
understand why.
Let's continue sharing it to enlighten more parents out there of this important matter.

Booktube Newbie Tag - Duration: 5:16.
Hello!
My name is Coco, and today I'm going to do the booktube newbie tag.
Probably should have done this before my summer TBR, but also I did my summer TBR halfway
through summer, so...
I have procrastination problems.
Question 1: why did you start this channel?
I've been on tumblr for a while now and I've had a lot of fun being able to interact with
people who like the same things that I do - to kind of scream into the void and have
the void scream back, so I thought I'd branch out and do the same thing, just... with my
face... on a different website.
Question 2: what are some fun and unique things you can bring to booktube?
...less book hauls because I'm broke?The thing I'm most excited to do on booktube, though,
is to be able to create coherent discussion and reviews on books.
My friends and I have very very different tastes in books, and I decided to apparently
make friends with all of the debate and Model UN kids, which means they can always out-argue
me, and what I'm really excited to do is to be able to create good arguments that can
be edited, and scripted... okay.
Question : what are you must excited for about this new channel?
So I guess I've kind of already answered that.
Having community to discuss books and all this stuff, and also being able to out-argue
my friends in advance.
Question 4: why do you love reading?
I think I love reading because of this one John Green quote that he said.
It's, um, "stories belong to their readers", and I really like that I can interpret a book
the way I want to, and be able to apply that to my life however I choose to.
Also, stories are great, books are really interesting, just... in general.
Question 5: what book or series got you into reading?
I'm not too sure, honestly, because reading's always been a really big thing in my family,
and so I was always read to, and it was kind of always expected of me to be really into
reading, but the two major books I can remember are Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,
and The Count of Monte Cristo.
So, I read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in grade 3, so, probably I was 8 or
9ish?
And it was one of the books I picked off my teacher's bookshelf, so I didn't know it was
the second in a series at that time, but, uh, that got me excited to read more books,
and to get a lot more reading recommen - like - reading recommendations *scoffs* book recommendations
from other people.
But The Count of Monte Cristo I read in grade 5, so I was 9 or 10?
And I really liked it, like I devoured that book, I thought it was genius, and that made
me want to read more and to enjoy and appreciate books more.
Number 6: what questions would you ask your favourite booktubers?
How do you have time to do any of this?
How do you buy so many books, and can you actually find anything on your bookshelves?
Like, how?
You've organized by colour, or just because it "looks good".
How do you find anything?
Just how?
Also, like, how do you have so many books?
Question number 7: what challenges do you think starting a booktube channel will be
the hardest to overcome?
Time management, for sure is one of them.
Like, it's summer break right now and I've barely gotten my crap together enough to start
making these videos, and I'm starting university in the fall, so I don't know how this is going
to go.
Um, another thing I think would be coherency.
I'm making a video answering questions about myself and I am barely coherent, so I don't
know how that's going to translate to when I, like, start talking about books and actual
things that need a brain, so...
Question 8: when did you start reading? ...the first grade, when I learned how to read, probably?
Question 9: where do you read?
Usually in bed, or on the floor.
I'm apparently opposed to chairs and it's definitely not helping my back problems.
My spine is seriously messed up.
Question 10: what kind of books do you like to read?
Right now, my two favourite authors are John Green and Oscar Wilde.
I don't really have a favourite genre of books, I kind of just - I've kind of just always
read what's available to me.
So, right now I'm reading a lot of YA novels because I'm in that age group and that's what
everyone recommends to me.
Like, when I was in grade 5, I read a crap ton of mystery novels because my teacher had,
like, all the Nancy Drew books, and all the - the - what are they called, the Hardy Boys
books?
Or, like, when I was, like, 7, I would read a lot of, like, those Rainbow Magic books,
with the fairies and stuff, because my friends were reading them.
And, so, I think I just read whatever I get in contact with.
I'm not really a huge fan of sci-fi, though, I know that, and I do quite enjoy reading
classic novels.
I have no idea if any of that made sense, but that is a very good description of me,
so, I hope you enjoyed this video, and I will see you...
sometime.
Goodbye.

Why The Seemingly Messy Ones May Be More Intelligent - Duration: 5:46.
Why The Seemingly Messy Ones May Be More Intelligent
You might not be ready to call yourself a full-on mess, but the lack of order in your
life may be the result of your completely scatterbrained state of being.
You are not alone, there are loads of us out there, myself included.
In this video, I'm going to show you why the seemingly messy ones may be more intelligent.
But before we start, make sure to like this video and subscribe our channel so you won't
miss any interesting updates in the future guys!
Also, don't forget to check link on the description below to see our interesting offer that might
be useful for you.
My friend and I have a running joke about our 'floordrobes', a euphemism we invented
to describe the clothes that often cover the floor or adorn the furniture in the house.
Its not anything I am proud.
Its a way of life I have become accustomed to, there are always piles of paper everywhere
and I can never find my hairbrush quickly but I always know where the important stuff
is.
Perhaps like me, you have also been urged to work on this aspect of your life by the
'tidier than thou's?
Sloppiness leads to error, they say, insisting instead that orderliness is a requirement
for success.
Do you, like me clean up regularly only to find it only stays straight for about a day,
if that, as you rush about, being busy doing this and that?
I am never bored and after a long day I am simply not going to spend several hours cleaning
and tidying the house, I'm in bed dreaming of the mess I can create tomorrow.
Ok, so things may get misplaced from time to time, but it's never detrimental to your
overall life.
You are aware that your mind is everywhere, but it just sort of works for you.
Well, according to Eric Barker for Time Magazine, these scatterbrained tendencies of yours may
actually determine how smart you are.
Barker presents a theory that says messiness is an indicator of intelligence.
Citing Steven Johnson's book "Where Good Ideas Come From: The Natural History Of Innovation,"the
basis of the theory hinges on the idea that the busier and more cluttered the brain will
lead to more potential breakthroughs and ideas.
Barker compares the creativity levels of big cities versus small towns to demonstrate this.
He says, "A city that was 10 times larger than its neighbor, was 17 times more innovative.
A metropolis 50 times bigger than a town was 130 times more innovative."
According to Barker, this is because higher volumes of "ideas bouncing about" in those
more crowded cities and metropolises lead to a general increase in innovation.
So you can compare your brain to a crowded city or which is more innovative than a more
sparsely populated village, though cowed your mind may be more prone to those kinds of innovative
thoughts.
Additionally, Johnson says that engaging in multiple hobbies, like many scatterbrained
people do, keeps your brain working at peak efficiency.
He explains how working on a variety of different projects at once can provoke new, more abstract
styles of thought and reasoning.
Multitasking forces you to shuffle between thought processes and encourages your brain
to "approach intellectual roadblocks from new angles or to borrow tools from one discipline
to solve problems in another."
Instead of just zoning into one specific way of thinking.
At the end of the day, you want your thoughts to jumble around with each other.
It may sound counterintuitive, but you want your ideas to "fight," as Barker puts
it.
Sounds hopeful?
Let's look at it from a different angle, I know you like to do that.
On his own personal blog, Barker references the work of Jonah Lehrer, who argues in his
book, "Imagine: How Creativity Works", that this so-called debating of ideas is what
leads to productivity.
He writes "debate and criticism do not inhibit ideas but, rather stimulate them relative
to every other condition."
This could be a provocative finding in regard to people who are disorganized.
People often argue that the clutter of items on someone's desk or the floor of his or
her room may prevent that person from thinking clearly, Lehrer seems to think such clutter
could stimulate a person creatively.
I have always been criticised by my peers about the jumble of visual ideas that surround
my work space.
I argue that it allows me to float off into other aspects of the thought process, and
admittedly complicated things might not get done immediately, they always get completed
in time and with much richer outcomes.
It's as if disorganised people are trained to thrive in chaos, and if they harness those
qualities productively all sorts of amazing things can start to happen.
I think a level of disorganisation can help you to be flexible when obstacles arise and
keep you on your toes when you need to approach situations differently, not much can sway
you and in the surprises and disorderliness of life you can remain calm and focussed on
your objectives.
So don't feel embarrassed or cowed anymore when people criticise your work or living
space, if you are still creative and efficient in your life, celebrate it, as it might be
the secret to your success.
Well, that's the reason why the seemingly messy ones may be more intelligent.

Dr. Dana Schomberg shares her experience with the Minnesota North Star Roller Derby - Duration: 3:53.
Another exciting thing that I've been able to do as a chiropractor, is work with some
athletic teams around the metro area.
One of the main teams that I work with is the North Star roller derby.
Basically they are roller derby athletes, a group of women that skate around after work,
and they are super athletic and they're super strong and they are just so inspirational.
What I do with them is about three to four times throughout their season I go into their
practice space and I watch their mechanics and I make sure that they're skating correctly,
and I make sure that they're utilizing their muscles right.
I usually will do a little workshop with them.
Maybe teach them how to foam roll or rehabilitate some of their muscles that are tight.
I watch to make sure that their stance is correct, that they're not doing anything awkward
or dangerous with their posture.
They have between four and five tournaments a year, where I go to the space that they're
playing, I bring my chiropractic table and I sit on the sidelines and if one of the girls
gets knocked over goofy and they shift a rib out of alignment, they run over to me and
they're like fix me up.
They don't say fix me up, they say "Doc Bones" can you help me?
Because that's what they call me, that's my name, I'm "Doc Bones", that's pretty cool.
One of my favorite patient cases I guess, with these girls is not only do they have
the league that participates in tournaments, but they have a league where it's kind of
like the practice squad where these girls aspire to become regular athletes on the full-blown
league.
Some of the girls that are on the practice squad so to speak, have come in to see me
because they've struggled with some mechanics, or muscle control, or their skating.
In particular, there is this one girl that came in, that had a really uncoordinated balance,
she wasn't able to skate very well, and so she was never able to make the time on these
various tests that they have you do to make the team.
That was just her one goal, is to make the team.
I took an x-ray of her hips because that was where the main problem was coming from, and
noticed that her left hip was significantly lower than her right.
It was also rotated, and the muscles were spasmed on that side she was working her left
side way too hard, and her right side didn't even know what it was supposed to do.
Through a series of chiropractic adjustments and some simple but effective physical
therapy modalities, we were able to completely balance out her hips.
She was able to skate around in a circle, make all of her times, and she actually ended
up making the league after about a year and a half of trying so hard.
That was really cool to help her realize that her body had the ability to do it, and it
was awesome be a part of that.
