The core issue in McCoy versus Louisiana is the question of whether it violates a person's
Sixth Amendment Right to counsel, to admit a client's guilt at trial.
Robert McCoy was charged with the triple homicide of family members of his estranged wife.
And he, from the moment he was arrested, he insisted that he was innocent, adamantly.
Mr. McCoy did plead not guilty.
Robert McCoy was originally assigned a public defender, um, and ultimately that uh, relationship
with the public defender deteriorated, and Mr. McCoy hoped to represent himself.
Ultimately, his parents retained a private attorney, Larry English, who was hired and
paid by his family to represent him at trial.
At trial, it was Mr. McCoy's defense attorney's strategy to try to convince the jury that
Mr. McCoy was actually not competent despite the fact that uh, the evaluation had found
otherwise.
Mr. McCoy asked his attorney on multiple occasions to tell the jury that he was innocent.
But, Mr. uh, English, his attorney, did not do so.
His hope was that Mr. McCoy would ultimately be sentenced to life in jail instead of the
death penalty.
But unfortunately Mr. English's uh, strategy backfired and Mr. McCoy was sentenced to death.
This case made it to the Supreme Court.
Um, and the Supreme Court ultimately decided to take the case because there was disagreement
between state courts of last resort as to whether it was a violation of client's Sixth
Amendment Right to counsel to concede the client's guilt over the client's objection.
At oral argument, Mr. McCoy's new attorney, Seth Waxman, argued that English's behavior
during trial was essentially a structural error, meaning that the trial was so fundamentally
flawed on a foundational level, that the entire conviction had to be thrown out, and that
Mr. McCoy deserved a new trial.
He argued that Larry English's decision to concede his guilt at trial was not only ineffective
assistance of counsel, it was essentially the deprivation of the Sixth Amendment right
to the assistance of counsel.
So the client should have the opportunity to ask the attorney for their advice, but
not have to follow it.
Louisiana was arguing for a more narrow holding, saying that this was essentially ineffective
assistance of counsel, but that Mr. McCoy had not been deprived of his Sixth Amendment
Right to counsel.
In a six to three decision, written by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the Supreme Court found
in favor of Mr. McCoy, finding that it was, in fact, a violation of his Sixth Amendment
Right to counsel for Mr. English to tell the jury that Mr. McCoy was guilty over Mr. McCoy's
adamant ob-objection.
Justice Sotomayor's said, "People have the right to walk themselves into jail.
Everyone has the right to represent themselves at a criminal trial, and if they consider
the attorney that they have to be a burden, then they don't have to accept them, and then
they have the opportunity to represent themselves."
Three dissenting Justices -Alito, Thomas, and Gorsuch- find that the majority made a mistake
in their holding.
Justice Alito appears to be advocating somewhat for Larry English saying that it was not that
he conceded the client's guilt, it was that he was really arguing for a lesser conviction
on behalf of Mr. McCoy.
Justice Alito also writes that he believes the majority opinion is overly broad, in that
he finds that this is a rare case that is unlikely to be replicated.

Why Avengers 4 Will Blow You Away - Duration: 11:00.
Even in the context of the blockbuster Marvel Cinematic Universe, Avengers: Infinity War
has posted some of the most eye-popping box office numbers in film history.
Clearly, Marvel fans around the world were anxious to see how the studio would start
to wrap up the long saga of the Avengers, Thanos, and the Infinity Stones, and audiences
were left pretty shaken by the film's ending.
When it debuts in May 2019, the fourth Avengers movie will be tasked with tying up a sprawling
saga connected to numerous interwoven films, and all signs point to them pulling it off
in style.
From the stuff we've already seen to clues regarding what's to come, here's a look at
all the reasons Avengers 4 will blow you away.
A cosmic culmination
Infinity War took the saga of the Avengers to new heights, dramatically raising the stakes
of the conflict with Thanos by having the Mad Titan actually succeed in wiping out half
of all life in the universe.
But Avengers 4 will give us something that the MCU hasn't had to face until now: a conclusion.
According to Marvel Studios mastermind Kevin Feige, Avengers 4 will completely wrap up
the decade-plus story that started unfolding with 2008's Iron Man.
Feige told Uproxx:
"Characters like Spider-Man or Batman or James Bond or Iron Man, who have been around for
so long and are always refreshed in comic books or novels or movies, you don't necessarily
get that kind of an endpoint, and we wanted to do that, which is what these next two Avengers
films are."
Uncharted territory
Seasoned fans of the MCU know that the studio has never directly adapted a story from the
comics, but rather used Marvel's decades of print storylines for inspiration.
The most obvious example of this is Captain America: Civil War, which took its title from
a famous story arc, but which shares only a few basic plot points with its namesake.
Infinity War is a loose adaptation of the Infinity Gauntlet limited series, but for
Avengers 4, Marvel isn't dipping into its back catalog, according to directors Joe and
Anthony Russo, it will be a totally original story.
Joe Russo explained:
"I don't think there are any comics that correlate to it.
I think we're in pretty fresh territory with Avengers 4.
[...] I have no interest as a director in telling a story that's already been told or
in seeing one that's already been told.
If I know all the events of the story as they're going to happen, then what's the point of
going to the film?"
That's a good point, and one which means that fans looking to Marvel comics for clues to
the conflict's outcome probably aren't going to find them.
Time after time
A production as large-scale as Avengers 4 can never keep its secrets completely under
wraps, and some leaked set photos may provide interesting plot details.
In particular, it appears that the remaining Avengers may be looking for clues as to how
to reverse their greatest defeat by revisiting their first victory, the Battle of New York,
via some kind of time travel.
Set photos have shown a recreated scene from the famous battle, with the original Avengers
sporting their Phase One attire, and Ant-Man along for the ride.
With the Time Stone currently residing in Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet, it's likely that
this will be achieved through purely scientific means.
Or maybe it's all a recreation, accomplished with Tony Stark's B.A.R.F. technology from
Civil War.
"Binarily augmented retro-framing, or BARF, God I gotta work on that acronym"
Joe Russo has hinted that this might be the case, saying:
"Certainly, there is a five-minute sequence in Civil War around a piece of technology
that was laid in for a very specific reason.
So if you go back and look at that film, you may get a hint as to a direction."
Of course, this may be misdirection on Russo's part, but one way or another, our heroes will
have to look to the past to save the future.
Returning cast
In case you doubt that the Russos would use devious tactics to keep us guessing, remember
that they've gone out of their way to suggest the deaths depicted in Infinity War may be
permanent.
But if set photos and comments made by the MCU's stars are any indication, this is almost
certainly a big fat lie.
"You get hurt, hurt 'em back.
You get killed, walk it off."
Speaking to The Independent, Bucky Barnes actor Sebastian Stan described a scene in
which he said, quote, "everyone was there", including Hank Pym and Janet Van Dyne, neither
of which appeared in Infinity War, and Nick Fury, who turned to dust in Infinity War's
post-credits sequence.
Likewise, Zoe Saldana let slip to E! News that the cast of Infinity War was only getting
a short break between films.
"Because I know that we will have to all come back at some point uh this fall and finish
up the second um the 4th installment of Avengers."
Set photos have also revealed the presence of Chadwick Boseman in full Black Panther
attire, but it was Dave Bautista who poked the biggest hole in the Russos' threat during
an interview with Collider.
"And I was like 'I'm gonna be in 4, likely gonna be in Guardians 3.
I don't know how they're bringing me back, but…"
Small but mighty
The fact that Ant-Man and the Wasp is one of two films sandwiched between Infinity War
and Avengers 4 had fans speculating early on that Scott Lang could play a key role in
Thanos' eventual defeat.
The set photos featuring Lang alongside the Avengers at the Battle of New York seem to
bear this out, along with Joe Russo's comments confirming a fan theory regarding the Soul
Stone.
At a Q&A, Russo implied, and later debunked, that the Soul Stone-colored world in which
Thanos visits a young Gamora was actually the Stone itself.
We may not know yet exactly what was going on with what they called a "spiritual representation"
of Gamora, but the question remains: are those wiped out by the Mad Titan trapped inside
the Stone, in comic book fashion?
That may be where Ant-Man comes in.
We all know that Ant-Man's ability can get him into some very tiny spaces, especially
when he screws with the regulator on his suit.
"I'm gonna have to shrink between the molecules to get in there."
His ability to navigate the Quantum Realm might also help provide the scientific basis
for the Avengers to achieve true time travel.
One way or another, it seems all but certain that the tiniest Avenger will play a crucial
role in our heroes' ultimate victory.
And it's bound to be epic.
Rocket's liftoff
Ant-Man leading the charge in Avengers 4 would be in perfect keeping with Marvel's habit
of giving rich, emotional story arcs to characters that may have once been seen as mere comic
relief.
For a perfect example, look no further than Rocket.
"You gotta be kidding me"
Much like Ant-Man, Rocket was introduced as a petty criminal hiding a heart of gold who's
forced to learn tough lessons about trust, friendship and sacrifice.
Leaving him as the only Guardian standing at the conclusion of Infinity War was certainly
not a random choice, and it would be just like Marvel to write a pivotal arc around
a fan favorite character who never should have worked in the first place.
"I'm sorry, I can only afford to lose one friend today."
Back on target
The amount of flak the Russo brothers caught for excluding Hawkeye from Infinity War was
somewhat surprising, considering how maligned the character has been by fans.
"The city is flying, we're fighting an army of robots, and I have a bow and arrow.
None of this makes sense."
Joe Russo touched on Hawkeye's absence and said in an interview leading up to Infinity
War's release:
"We did not forget […] Jeremy Renner.
We cooked up a story for him that is a little bit of a long play.
Not a short play."
Renner himself has teased the Avenging archer's triumphant return in Avengers 4, but he didn't
have any juicy spoilers to offer up.
He said:
"Everybody's got to bite their tongue.
But if you like Infinity War, there's some stuff to come.
What I do know is it's going to be awesome."
Bucky's journey
The Russo brothers made their MCU debut with 2014's Captain America: The Winter Soldier,
in which we learned that Cap's best friend Bucky Barnes had narrowly escaped what seemed
like certain doom in Captain America: The First Avenger, and instead been molded by
H.Y.D.R.A.
into the brainwashed cyborg assassin Winter Soldier.
"Bucky?"
"Who the hell is Bucky?"
Through the rest of his MCU appearances, Bucky has undergone a painful character arc, struggling
to break free of his programming and regain his identity.
In a recent interview with London radio station Spin 1038, the Russos revealed that understanding
Bucky's arc is the key to understanding their entire approach to the MCU.
They explained that Avengers 4 would complete the journey they began all the way back in
the second Captain America movie.
"So the story that began in Winter Soldier and that ends in Avengers 4, is a, there's
a very personal arc there for us."
Titan match up
The opening moments of Avengers: Infinity War made it clear that Thanos is by far the
most formidable opponent the Avengers have faced.
However, if Kevin Feige is to be believed, Thanos isn't the most powerful character in
the Marvel Cinematic Universe, that would be Captain Marvel, who's been set on a collision
course with the Mad Titan in Avengers 4.
Feige left no room for doubt in an interview with Vulture, saying:
"Her powers are off the charts, and when she's introduced, she will be by far the strongest
character we've ever had."
Screenwriter Christopher Markus, who has co-written all of the Russos' MCU entries, teased that
the Captain is even more than the sum of her abilities, saying:
"She's [...] in some ways the closest to Captain America.
A person who's right and knows they're right and doesn't really want to hear it when you
tell them they're wrong."
Marvel Cinematic Multiverse
As was to be expected, the Russos have remained coy when asked about all the shocking results
of Thanos' Infinity Stone-powered finger snap.
But at least one response to the question of how all those characters might return has
prompted some intense speculation from fans.
Speaking to the Huffington Post, Anthony Russo said:
"People become accustomed to time moving linearly in the MCU.
That doesn't necessarily have to be the case.
There's a lot of very inventive ways of where the story can go from here."
Of course, Marvel fans know that the comics don't take place in just one universe, but
dozens or even hundreds of them, known as the Marvel Multiverse.
Russo's comment may hint at the fact that we could see the same device employed in the
MCU's future beyond Avengers 4, a development Doctor Strange star Benedict Cumberbatch seems
to think is a real possibility.
He told CinemaBlend:
"What we've seen happen within the Marvel Cinematic Universe is this ever-expanding
couture of superheroes.
And I think now we're at the stage where this universe, even within our world, has gotten
quite crowded and it's just about to explode into other dimensions."
Of course, this may all be more misdirection, or we may be about to witness the birth of
the Marvel Cinematic Multiverse.

The story of a teenager discovering his gender identity 8 (Multiple subs) - Duration: 10:24.

Hello grandfather
Grandpa's princess, I smell your perfume
How are you?

What?
Your employee, why not?

At least my grandfather
I'll give him the opportunity to wait for him
But I'm not going to give everyone that opportunity
To others, if they don't understand, they fuck
Very good very good
I don't give a fuck
It's going to be a costume party
But, seriously, whoever doesn't have a costume doesn't enter

It's ok, leave him
Come to the party, but you better not wear that asshole costume
What are you doing, Juanito? The men's room is here, huh?
I want to see if you have balls, come
Do you think so man?
OK, good
No student may wear clothing that goes against morals and good manners
Do you need a copy?
No, but speaking of morals and good manners, why don't you tell Salinas not to use the men's room?
I find it inappropriate
Excuse me, I already tie my shirt
The other day, she asked me to speak in class
she got in front of her classmates and said she felt male
I wasn't informed of any of that
The important thing is that students must use the bathroom that corresponds to their sex
Excuse me Miscata, I'm here to talk to the guys
I interrupt you a second. - Yes of course.
I come to tell you that Juana Salinas has five warnings for entering the men's room
when we all know perfectly well that women shouldn't enter the men's bathroom, right?
It's unfair, admonitions to go to the bathroom?
for going to the men's room, miss.
No, just to go to the bathroom.
This isn't a debate, so I'm going to ask you to get up and go with me to my office
If some guy used the women's bathroom and I didn't give him a sanction, what would I be accused of?
No Lidia, forgive me, you are mixing things, you are mixing things.
Is not the same thing
Antonia, you're very nervous, I can't talk like that
Yes, you know why? Because you speak of respect, but someone comes to talk about something uncomfortable for you
What do you do? Do you exclude him?
let's get to the point
Juan
Don't call her Juan, fuck!
You should be happy that Juan has the opportunity to choose to be someone else
And I should be with him, I'm just saying that
If you want to understand, understand it
She isn't my grandson, she is my granddaughter
and I don't want her to suffer
They can't take you out, they are your rights. There is a law that protects you
I don't know this law well because it appeared after graduating, but I'm going to study
to take care of yourself, so that this doesn't happen to you or anyone else
of course, obvious
Don't lower your arms, you have to fight. - Of course, obvious.
For you and for those who come after
Good
Let's take the school, that's it
We're taking the school and we do not move from here until they accept he again
and let the police come, let the media come, let anybody come, but we do not move
*This is not going to end like this*
* If you are expelled, we all leave *
* Strong! We will not stop until they let you back *
What are you doing here, Tomy? Why don't you go to your house?
No one has asked for your opinion, ok?
And you nobody forces you to be here, Tomás, why don't you go?
You are the new girl, what are you doing? Two days ago you arrived
Stop! now isn't the time to fight, the only important thing is Juani's reinstatement
Salinas doesn't go! Salinas doesn't go! He doesn't go, Salinas doesn't go.
I'm not going to allow a revolutionary group to take the school
We aren't a revolutionary group, we are the whole school
go out to check it
as long as it is an injustice we will be here fighting
Come on
I want to thank you for everything you are doing for me, it's amazing
You don't have to thank me
Yes
the family is very important and you have to take care of it
You are my best friend, my brother, my everything
This is not just for you, it's for everyone, this can't happen again
Thank you
You never imagined this moment, right?
No, not really
I'm very excited about everything you are doing, it makes me feel valued
We were assholes, Juan
You going through all this alone, all that we have bothered you. That hasn't forgiveness
I don't blame you
The important thing is that now you are all here
It's your moment of rebirth
Yes
Here it is
and here I am
we want a solidary school, a school free of violence towards minorities
a school without discrimination
They are rules of anarchy
What is this chaos within the school?
Where is Emma?
It's a youth protest
Emma!
Come here, come here Emma
Use all the students to save your girl or boy, or whatever it is that they expel her
You have no shame
What are you talking about, idiot? What are you saying?
Calm yourself Antonia, calm down
Solange, it's a youth protest
I don't know if you heard about the law 26,743
this law was enacted in 2012
and it is a law that grants the right of gender identity to people
it is understood by gender identity
to the internal and individual experience of the gender as each person feels it
My son feels male for a long time
So he has all the right in the world to do pee where he feels most comfortable
okay?
Juan Salinas can go back to school
You aren't saying goodbye to anyone, she is still there
It doesn't matter if you call her Juan or Juani, she will always be there, she is not going anywhere
he will always be your baby
I know, but my little girl is not going to be any more
Well, you came back. What happened?
oh what a bastard, my God
Do not ask me yet ...
give me time
Call her Juan
Stay calm
Ok I understand you
It will be very difficult for me, really. - I know, me too
you'll see that with time we're going to get used to all
Do you think? -It will be easier, obvious.
I always said that when I had a male grandchild, this was going to be for him
The knife of the grandfather
Of the grandfather yes, of my father
Nothing, take
Give it to ...
to my grandson
and tell her that I love her very much
You are going to kill me, stop!
Hello my love, listen, the grandfather brought you a gift
Let's see
Do you know what this is?
It must be something very interesting
Yes, it's very interesting, it's a relic.
Look what this is. -What cool, he behaved well, it's a knife. It was my grandfather's
What is that?
It's Juana in Arabic
It's cool, is not it? to get a tattoo
I was commenting on it
I love it
Listen to me, but it hurts a lot, huh?
Well, I'm going with you
I need this place to be mine

Top 10 Best Games For Xbox One - Duration: 7:02.
So today, we're diving in our favourite picks for the top 10 best games for the Xbox
One – so far, that is.
You'll probably notice that not many on this list are Xbox exclusives, but keep in
mind that we're looking at how the game performs specifically on the console.
Plus, if you're a strictly loyal Xbox gamer, the future looks pretty bright for you, since
Microsoft acquired a bunch of indie studios that they announced this past E3.
So expect next years' list to look pretty darn different.
Anywho, with all that in mind, let's jump in!
10 The Witcher 3 The Witcher 3 typically lands on most 'best
of' games list.
So seeing it on ours should be no surprise.
An immersive and in depth open world, The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt brings back Geralt of
Rivia whose adventures this time around will preoccupy for hours on end.
The game is a commitment, friends, but one that is filled with fantastic characters,
witty writing and a whole lot to unearth and discover.
It's also got a sense of humour that many a player will appreciate.
If you were a big fan of Skyrim or any of the Elder Scrolls games and you're looking
for an alternative to play, The Witcher 3 is a game you can jump into to satisfy your
craving.
9 Rise of the Tomb Raider If you were a big fan of the 2013 Tomb Raider
reboot from developer Crystal Dynamics, you're going to love Rise of the Tomb Raider.
Initially a timed exclusive for Microsoft, Rise of the Tomb Raider came out to rave reviews,
praising the emotional story and well-developed characters to the stunning graphics and how
unique each and every location was.
If you were a fan of Lara Croft as a much more relatable human being in her last game,
this one, despite not having as strong of a story, will definitely be up your alley.
Plus, the game's DLCs put Lara up against the likes of swamp witches and zombies, and
that's pretty darn cool.
8 XCOM 2 XCOM 2 is the reboot of the 2012 XCOM: Enemy
Unknown.
And it adjusted many of the issues players and critics had with that title.
Released in 2016 by 2K, it was nominated for a slew of game of the year awards, and was
praised for its new concealment system and procedural generation of maps that shook things
up and kept the game constantly feeling fresh while still managing to maintain a lot of
depth.
Many missions also included timers, and the addition of new aliens made players who were
fans of the previous game rethink their approaches and strategies.
It's also one of the more difficult games on this list, but for those looking for a
really strong challenge in the strategy department, XCOM 2 is worthwhile.
7 The Witness The Witness is different than most of the
other titles on this list.
That's because it falls into the puzzle genre category; as most critics noted, it's
a simple game with complex puzzles that will leave players feeling incredibly engaged.
A first person puzzle adventure game, The Witness puts you in the shoes of an unnamed
character who is exploring an island that has a bunch of structures and natural formations,
roughly divided into 11 regions around a mountain, with reaching that mountain being your ultimate
goal.
Each area is filled with puzzles for you to solve, and finishing puzzles activates a turret.
When all turrets are unlocked, you'll be able to access the inside of the mountain
and finish the game.
If you were a fan of the puzzle game Myst, The Witness is definitely something you want
to give a go.
6 Titanfall 2 Titanfall 2 really up-ed its game compared
to its predecessor.
If you're unfamiliar with it, Titanfall 2 is a first person shooter that lets players
pilot mecha –style exoskeletons that are equipped with a variety of abilities.
Including a single player campaign that was praised for its design and execution, along
with several multiplayer modes, critics felt that the sequel was an incredibly fluid shooter
that really learned from its previous title in terms of proper pacing that keeps players
much more invested.
Described as frantic and exhilarating, its often considered one of the most intellectually
driven first person shooters out there, with its players being forced to think tactically
and strategically in order to succeed.
5 Gears of War 4 Gears of War 4 is the perfect game for those
who like co-op and those who like the idea of blasting the crap out of enemies (in a
sophisticated way, of course!)
This third person shooter is a Microsoft exclusive, and if you've ever played a Gears of War
game, you're bound to be satisfied by this entry in the franchise.
All of the previous elements in the game that you loved are back, and it even introduced
a few new ones, like the Dropshot weapon that fires explosive drills, and the Buzzkill that
fires ricocheting sawblades.
You can play the campaign solo, or in co-op with a second player or locally online.
Departing from its previous developer Epic Games and now developed by The Coalition,
many critics felt it was a refreshing take on the series that didn't sacrifice a lot
of the aspects that fans loved about previous Gears titles.
In addition to this, Microsoft has committed to continuously updating the game.
4 Overwatch Overwatch is a game that has captivated millions
of players.
A team based multiplayer first person shooter, it's Blizzard Entertainment's belle of
the ball these days, and it's easy to see why.
With a diverse cast of over 20 characters, each with a very unique style of play, it's
quickly become one of the most beloved and competitively played video games in the last
few years.
It's got a lot of charm, and a devoted fan base, and markets itself as a friendly online
shooter, having managed to appeal to many new players to the genre.
3 Fortnite How could Fortnite not make this list?
Another cartoonish multiplayer shooter game, Fortnite has pretty much taken over the globe
with its free-to-play highly addictive and highly competitive nature.
Whether you're just goofing around with your pals in a squad or going solo, it's
become a game that a wide range of younger demographics have become compelled by.
Plus, the game keeps evolving; with developer Epic Games' constant updates, it doesn't
feel like the game will be getting old any time soon, thanks to never ending influx of
new events, challenges, skins and much, much more.
One of the benefits of having Fortnite on your Xbox is that you can use the Xbox Play
Anywhere feature and sync it up with your PC, which is super useful not only if you're
addicted and being kicked off your TV by your family members or roommates, but also if you
want to dabble in streaming and feel that a PC would better suit your style of play
for the game.
2 Monster Hunter: World Monster Hunter: World took the Capcom series
to the next level.
Adopting the series standard formulas from its older home console titles and more recent
handheld ones, the experience of playing this game really blew the minds of Monster Hunter
fans.
It also improved upon a lot; long gone are the zones, and instead we now have a game
with a fully connected world.
Capcom has made use of AI to better craft their monsters, creating living ecosystems,
all while making it one of the most captivating multiplayer experiences to date.
It's also got a great sense of community; prior to the game's release, fans of the
series created an official program called Adopt-a-Hunter in which more experienced players
were paired up with new players in order to teach them more about the game.
1 Cuphead Cuphead may not be a game for everyone, but
it's a game that's undeniably brilliant in the way it presents itself.
For starters, its entire aesthetic is inspired by 1930s art styles the likes of the Fleischer
Brothers, and its sound track has got some serious Cab Calloway Duke Ellington vibes.
Not to mention the characters are so incredibly unique and unlike anything we've ever really
seen from a video game before, at least when it comes to this caliber of quality.
The reason why Cuphead may not be everyone's cup of tea (pun totally intended) is that
many people find it a little difficult.
The shoot-em-up side scroller often requires players to pay attention to timing and precision,
and as you progress it only gets harder.
But its oh so worth it.
There we have it friends!

INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS CONTROL my DOGS WALK for a day! (you decide) - Duration: 8:01.

- Hey, I'm Rocky Kanaka and this is my dog, Flip,
and today we're gonna make a funny dog video,
where my Instagram followers
control my dog's walk for a day.
You decide where we go and what we do.
What's up, buddy?
What's up?
Oh, it's a cat.
(upbeat bluegrass music)
(meowing)
What do you think, man?
Our Instagram followers didn't decide
whether you get to hang out with a cat or not.
(upbeat bluegrass music)
I didn't do a poll
of whether Flip can hangout with a cat or not.
There are a lot of YouTubers doing a fun video
where they let their Instagram followers
control their life for a day,
like my friend Rebecca Zamolo, and Matt,
and even FaZe Rug just did one that was trending.
There's another trending video,
and Flip and I actually did one of these,
where I let my dog walk me for a day.
Jenna Marbles did one of these videos,
and one of my favorites that just came out
that was also trending was
"I Walk My Puppy Dog For A Day"
by Lizzy Sharer and her dog, Milli.
Flip, you really enjoyed that video too, huh?
I think Flip likes Milli.
You like Milli?
Yeah.
Flip loves his friends!
Yeah, so I thought I'd combine those two things together
and make kinda like a delicious trending sandwich,
and more important, I'm gonna go have fun with this guy
as we head out for the day.
If you love dogs, I think you'll love this channel
because we have a lot of fun like this
and we also really focus on helping rescue dogs.
So, hit that subscribe button,
and turn on those notifications.
(upbeat bluegrass music)
Okay, so here's how this whole thing works:
I posted a bunch of polls on my Instagram
and you decide what we do.
So do we go to the park or to the beach?
Or do we go left or right?
I mean, I even have something in there where
at the end of the day,
he gets either a hamburger or a pizza.
So, if you're not following me on Instagram,
you gotta do that right away
so you don't miss out on fun things like this.
Okay, I've got the whole bag of goodies,
everything we need for the entire day right in here,
and I say we get started!
Okay, I asked you guys to choose left or right,
and you chose right.
So, Flip, looks like we're headed right.
Let's go buddy! Come on!
(upbeat bluegrass music)
Okay, the next one I'm really excited about,
because we're on a canal right now
and there's a park that way, beach that way.
I think Flip would like either of 'em,
but that's not how this works.
You decide where we go.
Let me check my Instagram poll here and see.
Oh! It's the beach, by 80%!
Only 20% of you picked the park.
Okay, Flip.
Let's go to the beach, buddy!
Come on!
(upbeat bluegrass music)
Okay, we're at the beach.
Now, as soon as his paws hit that sand, just watch.
It is pure joy so,
I think you guys picked the right thing.
Sit, sit, sit!
Sit down, bud!
You guys ready for this?
Flip, are you ready for this?
Dad, I'm always ready for the beach!
Okay.
Flip, go get 'em!
(jazzy music)
Flip, Flip, Flip!
No, okay.
Okay, alright, you know what?
Flip has a good segue into the next part.
Okay, Flip.
Hey, Flip!
Okay, on the next Instagram poll,
I asked my followers to control
what Flip gets to play at, at the beach.
So one Chuckit!,
that's where you just throw it as far as you can
and the ball goes...
(jazzy music)
(buzzer)
Oh! Sorry.
False start, false start.
You guys also had the choice to choose what?
A Frisbee!
Okay, so Flip's obviously excited and ready to do this,
so let's see what you guys picked on Instagram.
Okay, it's the Frisbee!
Alright Flip, you ready?
Okay, here we go.
Let's go play Frisbee on the beach.
Go get it!
(jazzy music)
Now this is my kind of day.
You're a good boy, Flip.
Hands down, rescue dogs are the best.
I mean, Flip is a rescue dog,
and look, what a great dog!
Alright, time for a water break.
Here you go, buddy.
Don't spill any of it.
Did the beach day already wear you out, buddy?
Okay, I think my Instagram followers
picked the right choice.
Flip is a happy boy.
He's a good boy too, and you know what good boys deserve?
A treat.
So I asked you guys to pick
either these peanut butter biscuits, or this baked jerky.
Okay, now these are two of his favorite treats.
Let's see what you decide.
Full disclosure, these are his favorites
for two reasons: one, because they're delicious.
Two, because I make these treats.
So I'll put a link down below
so that you can order them for your dog.
Okay, so I asked you guys what treat on Instagram,
and you picked fresh jerky by 61%.
What do you think, Flip?
He loves his jerky.
Should we just give him a piece, or the whole stick?
I mean, you can break off little pieces.
What do you think, Flip?
You know what, my Instagram followers have done
such a good job deciding this dog walk,
but we'll let Flip make a decision,
and pick either a piece of the treat
that I just broke off or the whole stick.
Okay Flip, you decide.
Easy decision.
Good boy!
Okay, that jerky strip from the dog bakery
was just an appetizer, because next,
we're doing something over the top.
Now, Flip eats healthy all the time,
but I thought we would just make this really big,
and I'd let you guys decide whether Flip gets
a pizza or a burger.
So I'm gonna take a sneak peak,
and we're gonna go get which one it is,
but I want you to comment down below
and tell me what one you think it is.
(upbeat bluegrass music)
Alright, that's pretty exciting.
And you know what, I have some other exciting news.
I don't know if you guys remember
the little Frenchie, Wade, that jumped
in the giant ball pit.
Great news, he has been adopted.
I gotta thank my friends, Rebecca Zemillo and Matt,
because they kicked the donation efforts off,
and we raised the funds we needed to get him better.
He had valley fever, but now he's in a new loving home!
You know, like I said, this channel's all about dog rescue.
And if you want to help and be a part of that,
make sure you check out this next video right up here,
it's Blossom's story.
And her before and after transformation,
I mean, you gotta check it out.
So, linked right up there.
This was awesome.
I mean, I've done it all.
I've let my dog walk me for a day,
and now I've let my Instagram followers
choose my dog's walk for a day.
What will we do next?
I don't know, but make sure you subscribe
and turn on those notifications,
and I'll see you in the next video.
Alright Flip, let's do this.
Come on!
Come on, buddy!
(upbeat bluegrass music)
- [Woman Behind Camera] He didn't exactly nail that exit.
- No.
I'm gonna have to retrain this guy,
so that I'm walking my dog for the day.
Come on, buddy, let's go.

How To Follow Up After A Job Interview - Interview Follow Up Email Template - Duration: 5:06.
So you just finished a job interview that went really well and you're
wondering what to do next to secure a job offer. In this video, you'll learn how
to follow up after a job interview, when you should follow up after a job
interview and what you can do to stand out from all the other candidates that
are also following up and if you stick around until the end I have a custom
designed template that you can download today and use as your follow-up. It's
going save you time and eliminate some of the thinking involved when it comes
to trying to secure a job offer. Hey there, if we've never met before,
I'm Heather Austin from ProfessorAustin.com and The Career Club on Facebook and
on this channel I provide simple solutions to help you build a business
or launch a career you love, so if you're new here consider hitting that subscribe
button down below and the bell notification so you don't
miss a thing. Following up after a job interview is a must in today's market.
Whether that's with a handwritten thank-you note, a customized LinkedIn
message or an email, you can't afford not to follow up after a job interview. In
fact, 90% of hiring managers appreciate some type of follow-up after an
interview, so in this video you'll learn my top 5 tips to follow up after a job
interview so that you can secure a job offer. Let's jump into it. Step number one
is to follow-up within 24 hours after the interview. This will keep you top of
the interviewers mind after the interview finishes and it keeps the
momentum going. This is also a great way to get one last final word in before
hiring decisions are made. Tip number two is to send a follow-up to each person
that you interviewed with. Now this doesn't mean to copy and paste the same
message to every person. You want a custom tailor the message to each person
that you interviewed with. An easy way to do this is once the interview is
finished, jot down the name of everyone that you interviewed with or if you can
get a business card from them during the interview and then write down
next to their name or on the back of the business card, a question that they asked
you or something that they said in the interview that is specific to them and
then custom tailor your message to that. Tip number three is to express your
gratitude. You want to start the follow-up by thanking the interviewer or
interviewers for their time and then mention something in there that shows
your passion and interest for the industry the position or the company. Go
on to tell them what impressed you most about the interview or maybe something
you learned from the interview and then you can mention something that you know
you can help them with such as a particular pain point or a problem that
they are experiencing right now. So here's an example of how this can be
done. "Thank you for your time today! I enjoyed discussing the possibility of
working with your organization in the position of and then list the position
title. I was very impressed to learn that [mentione something that you learned
from the interview that caught your attention]. It was a pleasure to discover
that like me, your company values and then list some type of point of view or
value that you share with the company. Tip number four, remind them of why you
are the best candidate for the position. To do this, reiterate a skill and
expertise or an accomplishment that you have that relates specifically to the
position and then mention how you can help the company solve a particular
problem. Here's an example of how you could write this. "After our conversation
today, I am certain my skills and expertise in the areas of and then list
the skill the expertise or the accomplishment as it relates to the
position, will undoubtedly help your organization and then list the problem
or pain point that the company is experiencing that you know you can
assist with. Step number five is to show your personality. Infuse your follow-up
with character and personality. This is a great way to stand out from all the
other candidates that are also sending a follow-up. This also shows the
interviewer or interviewers why you would be so great to work with.
Interviewers almost always hire based on personality over skillset. Now to make sure
you get it right when it comes to your interview follow-up, make sure you take a
look at the Ultimate Interview Follow Up Template. It's designed to save you time
and eliminate some of the thinking involved when it comes to trying to land
a job offer. I'll go ahead and link that up below and if you liked this video, be

Top 10 Alternate Versions Of Deathstroke - Duration: 5:09.
Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.
Slade Wilson has been the archenemy of the Teen Titans since 1980.
Since then heÕs gone on to be the enemy of many other notables heroes such as Batman
and Green Arrow, and heÕs also had several different versions of himself out there.
So letÕs take a look at the top 10 alt versions of Deathstroke.
In the number 10 spot, IS JOURNEYÕS END.
This version was the star of an ElseworldÕs tale for the 1994 Deathstroke Annual.
He is based in a post-apocalyptic world, one that is devoid of humanity because of a mutant
creation called the Genetix.
A creation that mankind made.
Talk about gratitude.
Deathstroke here is burned alive, but years later he begins to recuperate and makes a
decision: to help the last shreds of humanity by hunting down the Genetix.
Our hero Deathstroke.
Next, at number 9, WE HAVE INJUSTICE.
Deathstroke appears in the injustice comic.
SupermanÕs regime has forced him into retirement before his time, and heÕs just a tad resentful
at this.
He agress to help Batman recover a mother box from STAR labs, an unlikely team up if
I do say so myself.
He managaes to find the box and fend off Metamorpho, but he is imminently captured.
But not before he can send Batman the boxÕs blueprints for rebuilding.
https://comicnewbies.com/2016/08/24/deathstroke-vs-soldiers-of-the-regime-injustice-gods-among-us/ Coming in at number 8, IS PRINCIPAL SLADE.
You may have guessed it from the hard to believe title that includes the word ÒpalÓ, but
this version of Slade is from tiny titans, a comic I get a real kick out of.
Here he takes on the role of principal of Sidekick City Elementary.
Which his kids Rose and Jericho also attend.
Now he may technically be taking a break from villainy here, but trust me when I say some
principals out there are the worst villains of them all.
Hello Miss Trunchbull from Matilda.
In the number 7 spot IS DOOMSTROKE.
This version of the villain is pulled from the pages of the Batman/Superman comic.
Because if Doomsday and Deathstroke werenÕt bad enough on their own, here they are mashed
up into one bag of bad news.
He was responsible for the downfall of the Infinity Society and Metro City.
And the next target on his radar, as per Lex JokerÕs order, was to obliterate the Justice
titans.
http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Doomstroke_(Mash-Up) Up at number 6, WE GOT AMERICAN ALIEN.
The Deathstroke from Superman: American Alien was sent to assassinate Bruce Wayne while
he was away partying on a yacht.
However, he makes the mistake of placing his attack on Clark Kent instead, by placing a
neurotoxin in his beverage.
Well Clark isnÕt human, so the toxin barely had an effect on him.
Maybe some light dizziness.
Ya done goofed Slade.
With a flick of the fingers Slade is knocked off the yacht, and the party goes on!
Coming in at number 5, WE HAVE FLASHPOINT.
Arr mateys, we have ourselves a pirate here.
Atop his ship the ravager, Deathstroke and his crew serve to loot the world that has
been left in shambles by war between emperor Aquaman and Wonderwoman.
Not only is he in search of riches, but of his daughter Rose too, who has been kidnapped.
So of course this means he encounters everything from mutiny to near death experiences.
Just the average life of a pirate on the seven seas.
Next up, at number 4, IS TITANS TOMORROW.
This Slade Wilson is from the possible future of Titans Tomorrow, where the teen heroes
are all grown up.
SladeÕs daughter Rose has gotten involved with speedster Bart Allen, and dad does not
approve of this pairing because it has taken Rose away from him.
He teams up with the enemy Titans East in order to take down the new facist Titans group.
Even if it meant losing an arm in the long run.
You do what you gotta do.
Up next at number 3 is ANIMATED SLADE.
One very popular version of Deathstroke was a main antagonist of the Teen Titans animated
series, voiced by Ron Perlman, who has also voice acted as Sinestro in Green lantern the
Animated series.
He has a penchant for the big bads.
Interestingly enough, he was never referred to any name other than Slade here, because
the names ÔdeathstrokeÓ and Òthe terminatorÓ were deemed too violent for the little delicate
children ears.
Will someone please think of the children.
In the number 2 spot WE GOT DEKE DURGAN.
This was a pretty fun version of Deathstroke that existed in the world of DcÕs Justice
Imagine, which is all about re-imagining.
Here his civilian identity is of Deke Durgan.
He was conjured by Reverend Darkk to serve as a henchman.
And he has the ability to kill anyone just by touching them.
And that includes himself.
So yeah, he has to live life without accidently touching himself.
Yeah, just imagine that.
And finally, in the number 1 spot, is DARE THE TERMINATOR.
Why is he so cool?
Well this awesome amalgam of Daredevil and Deathstroke is not a he after all, but a she!
With the combo of these two characters, Slade MurdockÕs got heightened senses and is deathly
skilled in a variety of weapons and fighting styles.
Among her many features, is legally blind, has had her eye ripped out and covers it with
an eyepatch, and has had devil horns grafted onto her head.
SheÕs not your typical lady mercenary.
So those were the top 10 alternate versions of Deathstroke.
Let me know in the comment section down below who you want alt versions of next?
My name is Roya Destroyaa, thanks for watching, and donÕt forget to subscribe so you never
miss another nerdy list!

Rules Meghan Markle Has To Follow When She's Pregnant - Duration: 4:35.
Royal baby rumors may have really picked up steam after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
married, but talk of a new royal baby started long before the royal wedding.
While the couple have stated that they look forward to having children, there are a whole
lot of royal rules Meghan will have to follow when she's pregnant, and after she gives birth.
Here are just a few rules that apply to royal babies, whether they're already here or
yet to come.
No gender reveal party
Whether you love them or hate them, gender reveal parties have become increasingly common
over the years.
The royals, however, don't take part in the trend, at least not publicly.
When Prince William and Kate Middleton were expecting their third child, many non-royals
kept busy placing bets on if the baby was going to be a boy or a girl, because that
information, and the baby's name, is withheld until after the child is born.
Although modern technology has altered some of the royal family's traditions, Buckingham
Palace still opts to announce royal births by way of framed proclamation, which is displayed
on a gold-trimmed wooden easel and set up behind palace gates for public viewing.
Forget about a baby shower
In the United States, baby showers are a dime a dozen.
It may be hard for you to remember a time when an expecting mother didn't have a celebration
planned for her new addition, whether it was baby number one, two, or three.
However, don't expect to see a royal baby shower.
Royals expert Victoria Arbiter explained to Express why a baby shower would be in bad
taste for a royal, saying members of the British royal family are very wealthy and a lavish
baby shower would be seen as highly inappropriate.
After all, what would you get a family that has, well, everything?
Midwife matters
Although midwife-led births throughout England have been on the decline for decades, midwifery
is still favored by royals.
The teams for both Princess Charlotte and Prince George were made up of more than 20
people, including obstetricians, anesthetists, pediatricians, a laboratory technician, and
multiple midwives, among many other medical professionals.
Midwife-assisted or led deliveries may be becoming antiquated for the public, but since
Prince Louis' birth plan included midwives as recent as spring 2018, it seems probable
that Meghan's future children's birth plan will, too.
Location, location, location
At the beginning of the twentieth century, women were starting to forgo home births and
opt for hospital births.
However, this trend took a while to catch on within the royal family.
As the BBC reported, Prince William was actually the first member of the family to be born
in a hospital.
Later, Prince Harry would also be born at that same hospital, in the private Lindo Wing
of St. Mary's Hospital just outside of London.
Following suit with his own children, William and wife Kate Middleton decided to welcome
all three of their children at the Lindo Wing, replacing the long tradition of home births
at Buckingham Palace and giving birth to a new tradition, no pun intended.
Since William's birth, royal parents have taken to the front steps of the Lindo Wing
to introduce their newborn to the public.
Unless Meghan bucks tradition, you can expect her and Harry to do the same.
Baby dress code
Have you ever noticed how Prince George and Princess Charlotte are always dressed to the
nines?
The littlest princess is nearly always photographed wearing a dress while George is in shorts,
regardless of the weather or season.
This is because royal tradition dictates that children are to be "formally dressed" when
in public.
Believe it or not, the year-round shorts are actually an improvement to an earlier dress
code.
Etiquette expert Grant Harrold told BBC News that young boys wore "gowns or dresses" back
in the 16th century.
If Meghan were allowed to have a baby shower, you can bet shorts or dresses would be on
the registry.
Not your average hospital bag
If you have children, you probably remember packing a comfortable outfit to wear home
after delivering your little one.
While comfy maternity leggings or oversized yoga pants would work well for the average
new mom, that's far from the going-home outfit a royal would be able to choose.
Both Diana and Kate's postpartum ensembles involved a dress and high heels, not to mention
perfectly styled hair and makeup.
In fact, Kate has stepped out of the Lindo Wing looking 100 percent camera-ready merely
hours after delivering all three of her children.
As this has become tradition, the public will probably be expecting the same of Meghan.
All tell the queen
While the Queen may not have a say in how many children Meghan and Harry will go on
to have, it is a requirement that the Queen be notified of a royal birth prior to any
members of the public.
According to People, when Prince George was born the media was notified around four hours
later.
While the public was kept in the dark, the couple was able to call family members and
tell their closest friends.
Don't get any ideas about waking Granny up, though.
Ahead of the birth of Kate's second child, a palace source told People, "I wouldn't think
anyone will be waking the Queen before 8 a.m."
The same will likely be the case for Meghan and Harry, with no public birth announcements
being made between the hours of 10 PM. and 8 AM.
Babies can wait.
The Queen needs her beauty sleep!

How did these artists influence you?
Um, I grew up in the MTV era like I said,
So you know I was watching, all the way back from Tina
Turner and Bruce Springsteen
and Madonna and Janet and Michael, and all of them
You know, they were my inspiration
to even get into the music business to do what I did
Their videos inspired me to do the videos that I did
and now to be 20 years in and here and winning this award
It's just, it's mind blowing to me
I can't, I can't with you right now!
All right! (Laughs)
I can't with you, I can't with you, I can't with y'all!

To Heal the Brain, Sometimes We Need to Damage It - Duration: 4:44.
When something goes wrong with your body, doctors usually have to put things back together, like by stitching a wound or setting a broken bone.
But sometimes, healing your body requires taking it apart—
like when you have to get an infected appendix removed—
And that's true for the brain, too.
For some people with certain psychiatric or neurological diseases, the best way to fix the brain is to damage it.
Just really, really carefully.
[INTRO ♪]
Surgery for brain conditions has a messy history.
Unregulated lobotomies where doctors would essentially cut off the brain's frontal lobe to "cure" things like schizophrenia were widespread in psychiatric hospitals across the US in the 1940s and '50s.
At the time, the procedure was crude and often left people lethargic, with a dulled personality, and unable to function on their own.
Thankfully—like, really thankfully—we know a lot more about the brain now than we did back then, and our technology has gotten better as well.
Today, surgery for neurological and psychiatric conditions is a lot more specific and targeted.
It's also much safer, and really only used when other treatments, like medication, don't work.
One of these surgeries is the corpus callosotomy, also known as a split-brain surgery.
This procedure involves severing the corpus callosum, the band of nerves that connects the two hemispheres of the brain.
It's designed to help those with severe epilepsy when typical medications and treatments aren't working.
Specifically, the surgery helps ease seizures, which are caused by abnormal electrical firing in the brain, from spreading from one hemisphere to the other.
It won't stop the seizures completely, but it will at least keep them confined.
And the good news is, it's effective.
In a 2013 study in the journal Neurosurgery, 50 people who went through the procedure had a statistically significant drop off in the frequency and severity of seizures.
And the outcomes were even better if they had the procedure done when they were younger.
Also importantly, this surgery helps reduce atonic or drop seizures:
seizures where the person loses control of their muscles and falls to the ground, putting them at risk for injury.
We don't really know why they happen, but corpus callosotomys reduce their frequency.
That 2013 study found that 40% of the patients had no more drop seizures after the surgery, and 64% had the frequency reduced.
And in a 2014 study of 26 patients in the journal Epilepsy & Behavior, drop attacks went down by half or more in 65% of patients.
Now, there are side effects and risks to the procedure, like headaches, stuttering or other trouble with speech, and coordination problems.
But reducing seizures typically improves quality of life dramatically, so for some patients, it makes the most sense.
Surgery is also used to treat severe cases of obsessive compulsive disorder, or OCD, which causes recurrent, intrusive thoughts and repetitive behaviors.
Scientists are increasingly confident that the neurological root of the disorder is a small hook of tissue towards the front of the brain called the anterior cingulate cortex.
This region, also called the ACC, is involved with the regulation of emotion.
It serves as a connector between the brain's limbic system, which deals with emotions, and the prefrontal cortex, which handles cognitive control.
In OCD, the ACC is hyperactive.
So people whose OCD isn't treatable with medications or therapy sometimes undergo surgery to try and modify its activity.
One way to do this is by using deep brain stimulation, or DBS:
a procedure that places a small electrode inside the brain by the target brain region.
The electrode sends out pulses to disrupt abnormal activity in that region and restore normal patterns,
and multiple studies have shown that it helps manage symptoms.
From what we can tell, it's also safe in the long term, according to a follow up study on six patients published in 2016 in PLOS One,
and it improves the quality of life for patients.
Like all brain surgeries, it does come with its side effects, like headaches or lightheadedness,
but many of them can be managed by adjusting the frequency and strength of pulses.
Finally, deep brain stimulation is also used to treat Parkinson's, to help ease the tremors and movement problems characteristic of the disease.
Many Parkinson's symptoms are caused by the death of neurons in the brain that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Dopamine regulates several pathways in the brain, including ones involved in movement.
So without enough of it, multiple brain regions become overactive.
To treat symptoms, surgeons will sometimes cut or burn out those regions,
but deep brain stimulation is safer and more easily adjusted, so it's become the preferred procedure.
DBS can't replace that lost dopamine or anything, but like with OCD, it can help normalize brain activity by stopping those extra signals.
And it seems to work.
A 2014 meta-analysis of six trials, which included over 1000 patients, found that it significantly improved motor signs of Parkinson's, functionality, and quality of life.
And similar results have been replicated in more recent studies, too.
All this goes to show that, even if the brain is a unique and special part of the body, it's also just another organ.
Sometimes, diseases and disorders make it work against you, and surgically changing it can be the best way to heal.

Why you should never walk barefoot in 5 star hotels! tips by Dr Liv - Duration: 2:06.
oh hi guys you are wondering why a dermatologist is dressed up and sitting on
a bath top okay stay with me to get to know why. it's very easy, but first of all
let me introduce myself. I am a board-certified dermatologist and I'm
traveling around. Some people call me flying doctor. I am visiting patients but
most of the time actually giving also speeches, so anyhow let's make it short
I'm now in a beautiful hotel here in London, just came from a party and
I said okay I just took my shoes off and then I realized whoops there's carpet und
you think oh what she's talking as it is a beautiful 5 star hotel, the carpet must be
fantastic clean...but if somebody before you for example had a fungus
guess who get it: YOU! it doesn't matter how clean it is, if it was a five-star hotel
or Airbnb or a very low-key place or whatever a place where you are not at
home consider that maybe somebody walked around bar feet who had fungus and guess
if you're coming out of the shower and your skin on the feet is very mushy
the barrier system of your skin is not really straight its weak, so bacteria and
fungus can go inside particular around these toes, so make sure you dry them
well and use flip-flops. Either they provided for a hotel like here or actually
take them with you, so if you always have small flip-flops or very light ones so
they fit everywhere please please please if you go out of the bath get shoes on
if you get out of the showers get the shoes on because the only thing you
don't want is have fungus on the feet okay
that's it now I'm really getting into the shower see you then
subscribe to my channel give me some light some comments as
see you in the next time YouTube video bye-bye

Designing a Workholding Fixture from Start ➡ Finish - Duration: 4:51.
Hi Jason from Tormach. Let's talk fixture design. I have a piece of drill rod that
I need to put a flat on, and cut a little notch on the end,. Simple little part to
do, but I have enough of these to run they I don't really want to load them into
a vise one in time. I need to make small batches of parts like twenty and thirty
at a time, in regular intervals, so every couple of months, or so we need to run
those. Since we normally keep a vise installed in the machines all the
time, I wanted the fixture to be able to just drop into a vise, sit on some
parallels, and run from there. This also ended up dictating how many parts I can
make at a time. The largest part I can really fit into any of the vices that I
have around, is about a four by eight inch part. So I just designed everything
around this size. I decided to use the universe clamp from Mitee Bites for this
project since they allow me to clamp two parts at a time, which helps minimize the
cost of the fixture. Now I just have to sit down and look at the part itself and
figure out how do I want to machine this, and what's the most efficient way to
accomplish all the tasks that we need to. This is really a pretty simple part. We
need to put a flat on the top and cut a notch on it on the end of it for the
flat. All's I need to make sure is I have clearance on the sides or on the top of
my part for the end mill to run over the top. With that uni-force clamp that's a real easy
thing to accomplish. So that just kind of worked out on its own. For the notches I
wanted to keep them facing each other. This allowed me to minimize my cycle
times, and just cut it all more efficiently. If I put them on opposing
faces then I'd have to cut two of them, wrap it all the way across the part and
cut the other side it's just an inefficient setup. So I ended up putting
a boss in the center of the part which you can see, and we used these as a bump
stop. So when we slide the bar in, we just bump off for this little boss that's in
the center, and then we can tighten the clamps up. And that gives us our
consistent bump stop...gives us access to the part for the notch, and everything's
in close proximity. So we reduce our cycle times. Once I had this all modeled
into everything, I added some clearance pockets here for the notch itself. So I
just added about fifty thousands clearance on the sides on the width, and
the depth of the pocket just for cutter clearance, and then I just added a
datum hole real quick to make setup real quick, and easy on this. From here we just
need to machine it. So here's some cutting footage of it running on a 770M. We
only needed about five tools to make this part. We roughed it out with a 3/8 inch
end mill. This ran with a half inch depth of cut, with a fifty thousand width of cut.
We used a two way adaptive roughing strategy on this, running at 6100 rpm, at
80 inches a minute. This ran real well the 2-way adapter strategy. Definitely
worked out nicely with this part. It really helped the efficiency of the
roughing cycle. After roughing, we came and drilled our tap, and datum holes.
These are 8/32 tapped holes. So we used a number 29 drill, and ran it at 4200
RPM, at 9 inches a minute, with a 50,000 peck depth. Next we came to the quarter
inch end mill. We used this for some rest roughing, and finishing passes. First
thing we did was to bore out our datum hole. We pre-drilled it with that number
29 drill. Then we came back and just plunged the end mill, and with a real
light peck, just to put the datum feature in so that we can indicate this in as a
our zero point. We had a small area that the 3/8th's end mill couldn't reach, so we
just did a quick 2d contour pass to remove this. I'm just ramping back and
forth as you can see. And then we finished up the flats, and the walls with
separate tool passes. These all ran at the same speeds which was 10,000 RPM at 50
inches a minute. After this, we added some quick ten thousands chamfers just to
deburr the part. This tool ran at 10,000 RPM and 60 inches a minute.
The last tool path we had to run was the thread milling for the 8/32 holes.
We ran the thread mill at 10,000 RPM at 30 inches a minute and we did this in two passes.
The second pass was a real light pass, at five thousands of an inch, just to kind of
take a nice light finish pass, and get a good fit on the threads.
It was pretty lucky on this one. I didn't have to do any cutter compensation, or
anything, to get the threads to fit nice. It just worked beautifully right out,
of the right out of the gate for us. Then once we had this all done, once
everything was all cleaned, up we test fit the holes, and we loaded up some
parts in the clamps to make sure that everything looked good. So thanks for
watching. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. For more metalworking tips, tricks,

Jack In The Box® | Steak Teriyaki Bowl Review! 🤡🥩🍚 - Duration: 4:40.
welcome to peep this out reviews with Ian K
stay frosty we're going in on something new as the summer heatwave continues
so Jack has a new steak teriyaki bowl let's get ourselves set up good how you doing
yeah peep this out let me go for that new steak teriyaki bowl please just by
itself and let me get the brown rice with that instead of the white that'd be
great oh no that's it great thanks a lot yeah nothing against white rice I just
prefer brown and besides it's better for ya good how you doing
steak teriyaki bowl with brown rice yeah thanks so much my friend I appreciate it
you as well stay frosty now alright guys ready for that up close and
personal look here we go while other burger place to serve the
same old stuff I'm the only one with the bowls to serve something different
there's a little something on the menu for just about anyone here at
jack-in-the-box and now it looks like we can add a steak teriyaki bowl to that
list of choices and it's a pretty tasty looking one at that starting off with a
very nice portion of marinated steak that's drizzled with a teriyaki sauce
that's supposed to be a black belt in flavor it's all accompanied with a
decent amount of broccoli and carrots strings on top of a bed of brown rice so
definitely looking solid in the presentation department but what about
the taste we're gonna find out right now this is the all-new steak teriyaki bowl
here at jack-in-the-box let's peep out his flavor try something different
my teriyaki bowls only a jack-in-the-box this bowl is burning hot too which is
not doing me any favors considering it's over a hundred degrees right now let me
get into this really fast for you guys a little bit of the steak a little bit of
broccoli the rice and the carrots here we go it's the steak teriyaki bowl from
jack-in-the-box mm-hmm right off the bat I was afraid the teriyaki sauce was
gonna overtake everything else on this but it's not really that sweet at all
and the tenderness of that meat is pretty nice guys
nice and rich on the flavor of it as well and it's kind of hearty let's
keep going mmm definitely hearty nicely sliced
pieces of marinated steak that has a sauce that doesn't overtake the actual
flavor of the meat itself you can really taste how fresh this is and I have to
say again the sweetness of that sauce is not over
making anything really diggin the overall combination of the even mix of
flavors with this one so far and hey I'm also diggin the fact that the broccoli
itself almost tastes like it's steamed although honestly it's probably gonna be
microwaved but I do like the fact that it tastes very fresh and it goes just
amazingly well with that steak mmm yeah you can't beat the goodness of that
brown rice either aside from the fact that it tastes pretty amazing with the
teriyaki sauce it's actually lower in carbs and higher in protein and regular
white rice and also lowers the calorie count of this bowl by like 120 calories
anyway it's not a bad choice to get and it tastes pretty awesome and hey just
for the record carrots are not really my favorite but because of the type of
sauce this is I don't mind eating these at all it is pretty flavorful yeah so a
pretty tasty steak teriyaki bowl from a place that I wouldn't necessarily
consider my first choice to get one of these and man I got to say the flavor
delivers on this one with a not so sweet teriyaki sauce and just overall a nice
blend of flavors across the board highly worth it on this one guys and a very
nice quantity of it to boot very surprised on this one I thought it was
just gonna be okay and considering the fact that they've always had the chicken
teriyaki bowl on the menu that's now actually been upgraded with 40 percent
more chicken I may have to give that one a shot because like I said this one is
highly worth it guys nice quantity overall and the price is decent so
overall I'm gonna have to give the steak teriyaki bowl here at jack-in-the-box a
solid 8.5 out of 10 there's definitely a decent amount of
teriyaki goodness in this bowl and even if brown rice isn't your thing you can
always get white rice so regardless of your choice of carb count on some pretty
solid flavor on this one with a not so sweet teriyaki sauce and a flavorful
amount of marinated steak along with those veggies pretty solid but as always
that's just my opinion what do you guys think have any of you ever had a
teriyaki bowl here at jack-in-the-box in the past and if you have how excited are
you to give the steak version of it a shot
drop those comments down below and definitely let me know and with that
this is Ian K closing out another episode of peep this out and like I
always say I've got brand new content every single week here on my channel so
while you stay tuned for the next review coming real soon in the meantime stay
frosty burgers chicken sandwiches egg rolls tacos a whole range of sides
breakfast all day teriyaki bowls yeah there's definitely little something for
everyone here at jack-in-the-box with no shortage of choices 24/7 alright guys
until next time I'll talk to you soon

leaving many fathers and mothers without knowing what to do with their children during the workday
and also leaving many people without their job
its closure was because they wanted to privatize it
since the state was not going to take care of its maintenance

JULY READING WRAP UP || 2018 - Duration: 18:17.
I don't even know the order of books I read. What do we got...? Oh yeah! Hey guys,
it's Emily. For today's video I am doing my July reading wrap-up. In the month of
July I read ten books and they're kind of all over the place in terms of how I
felt about them. So let's get into it. The first book that I read in July was
Armistice by Lara Elena Donnelly. This is a sequel to Amberlough, which is book I
very much enjoyed. This series is fantasy...? It feels a little bit weird to call it that
because there's no magic of any kind. It's just set in an alternate world. I'm
not going to go a ton into plot because, obviously, since this is a sequel, to go
into plot would spoil a lot of stuff from the first book. Basically it's about
the rise of a fascist power in a group of states--not like the US, more like
the German principalities. It's clearly inspired by and informed by German
history. It's mostly a Weimar era kind of setting, but it does pull from some of
the late 19th century stuff and pre-WWI German history. This is
set in a different country, which is really cool because we get to
experience a new culture. The society in which this book mostly takes place is
actually a matriarchal one, which was very cool to read about. I love me a
matriarchy. This book felt much more plot heavy than the first book. The first book
felt a bit more character-driven. This reads pretty much like a heist book. I do
really enjoy heist stories, so that was really fun. But at times that was kind of
at the expense of some of the character development. At the end of the day I
still gave this four stars because it is just such a solid series. It's super
fun. The culture and history in it is great. This book looked more explicitly
at how racism and nationalism intersect. That was something I thought was
sometimes missing from the first book, so I really appreciated that. Really enjoy
the series I think it's so under-hyped. It is super fun. The characters are really
compelling. I had so much fun, and I definitely recommend it. Next I have The
Book of M by Peng Shepherd. This was some very cool speculative fiction. It's
a post-apocalyptic, kind of dystopian thing going on, but it has elements of
fantasy. This is set in a world in which people's shadows disappear. When your
shadow disappears, you lose your memory. What's really interesting is that Shepherd
plays with this idea of forgetting. So not only do you forget your family and
your friends and your history and all of those kinds of things, you forget that
things can't be. The first example that we come across in
this book (which is like super, super early, so this isn't a spoiler) is that
someone forgets that deers have antlers, and therefore also forgets that deers
cannot have birds wings on their heads. So you see a deer that has bird wings
instead of antlers. When people forget, especially en mass, the fabric of the
world just shifts, and it's a very scary thing because what if someone forgets
that an object isn't actually a weapon, or what if someone forgets how a weapon
works, but not that it is a weapon and so it's made stronger and more powerful?
It's just really, really, really cool. Sometimes the logic of the Forgetting
did not make sense and I read a lot of fantasy and a lot of fantasy that has
rule-based magic systems that we get really magic as a metaphor in this and
it doesn't really translate to magic with rules which is what I am used to
and what I really like I think because this book really does lean into the
fantastical elements that lack of logic or some of the logical flaws in this
fantastical thing going on become very apparent which takes you out of the
story so that was one issue that I had with it but I think ultimately the
metaphor is more powerful than its flaws so I liked that I thought it was a great
literary device even if it wasn't perfect I think I probably enjoyed the
first half of this book more than the second half the first half is a lot
slower it feels more character-driven second
half feels a lot more plot-driven the second half especially like the last
third feels like you're going at this breakneck pace all of a sudden the
ending of this was superb it was so heartbreaking and felt very fitting to
the book I did not see it coming but it was just so good next I run arabela of
Mars by David D Levine this was fun it was like kind of light and fluffy and
fun it is set in like an 18th century equivalent time in which space travel is
a thing and we follow a girly mirror a lot I think she's a teenager
in this book and she grew up on Mars and she's like a bit of a tomboy
Lexx going outside and fighting and doing boyish things Mars is like a
British colony in this world and so it comes with all the trappings of 18th
century British society which means that air Bella
doing those things she gets shipped back to England kind of gets wrapped up in
this murderous plot and to save her brother's life she has to figure out how
to get back to Mars so it's this kind of swashbuckling spaceship like literally a
ship for the cover adventure and it was really fun I liked that in the end even
though Arabella starts out seeming like kind of an annoyingly cliched version of
a strong female character and that she is strong because she exhibits masculine
traits and ends up not being those traits that like save the day and I
already said this is like fluffy so saying that the day is saved doesn't
count as a spoiler because if I say like fluffy that obviously has a nice ending
he plays a little bit with colonialism but like not a ton and so sometimes the
tone of the book and some of the lot stuff that was going on that's like
explicitly exploitative colonialism I was like this feels a little bit weird
that's not to say that Lavigne doesn't engage with that kind of stuff at all
it's just not at the forefront of the book before front of the book is really
Arabella and her adventure it was fun it was cute I enjoyed it and don't know
that I'll continue the series but this was like a solid three stories for me
next I went to sharp objects by Gillian Flynn I started that HBO series and
after the first episode I was like I am definitely going to read the Wikipedia
page and figure out what happens who did it because it's kind of a murder mystery
instead of doing that I decided I would actually read the book because like
there is a book and I was just being an idiot again and it was super addictive I
read it in like a day and I don't know how much I liked it I couldn't really
tell you it was addictive so there was that at times I thought that the
narrative voice was very inauthentic it felt like Gillian Flynn kind of being
like oh this is what an edgy said traumatized person sounds like as
opposed to just reading from the perspective of a traumatized character
yeah that kind of a name you roll my eyes at certain points it's also the
kind of thing where the book is like super fucked up I found it kind of hard
to distinguish like oh that's a really well-crafted plot twist versus like I'm
just shocked cuz those are two very different things I think something
similar happens sometimes in literary fiction when authors just go like as
bleak and sad and tragic as possible because that makes you feel things as
opposed to really trying to craft a good book a well-crafted book maybe something
like and I was also incredibly smelling that
I called one of the super fucked up plot-twists who said anything about the
plot this follows a woman named Camille she is told that she needs to return
home to her small town in southern Missouri in which one girl has been
found murdered and another has just gone missing and so she goes down to kind of
investigate it's very clear that there was a lot of trauma for her in that
hometown in particular her relationship with her mom seems to have a lot of
baggage and you go from there again I don't
mm-hmm I don't know what to say I think I gave it like three stars on goodreads
I read it in today that was cool the book also talks a lot
about female relationships but it feels very heteronormative so I was kind of
like this is very straight and very white
after finishing sharp objects I was like I need something light and fluffy so I
read the kiss quotient but Helen Wong dude my grandma please don't watch this
part this is a romance book about a woman who has autism spectrum disorder
dating is like too much to even think about I'm like how do you do that what
even so so she decides to hire an escort to like teach her how to date how to be
in a relationship at all of that other stuff so yeah there's a lot of sex
scenes in this that's not your jam maybe don't read it all of the sex in this was
super super consent heavy that was something I really liked it was all
about communication it was just great and it was also a fun read it was just a
great palate cleanser I really enjoyed it after that I went for some highbrow
literary fiction and I read there there my tummy orange this is as I just said
literary fiction it is very buzzed about and it deserves all of that buzz this is
basically Tommy oranges answer to the kind of monolithic representation of
Native American people in American society those images and stories are
largely crafted by white people this is on voices about 12 Native American
characters whose lives all connect through their relationships and families
and things like that and also from a plot perspective if they connect around
one event to be big Oakland Pow Wow every character gets two chapters I
think I might be wrong on that and each characters chapter has such a distinct
voice and an incredibly well-crafted voice so they all feel unique they all
feel authentic an orange plays around with
in more conventional ways so diction and sentence structure and like I've said a
million times voice but he also plays around with it in more kind of complex
literary ways in terms of switching up the perspective so we have some
first-person we have some third-person and I even think we have some second
person in here and they also plays around with tents quite a bit it's
really cool it's really well done from a craft perspective it's an amazing
examination of how the native experience has been so misrepresented we have
characters an ear very in touch with their native heritage within local
native community in Oakland where it's primarily set and with their families
and things like that and then you also have characters who were adopted and
raised by white families in the suburbs and they're trying to reconnect with
their native heritage and we have everything in-between it was so good
it's so so good I definitely recommend this next I read Sadie by Courtney
summers and the more I think about it the more I feel like this book does so
well what sharp objects kind of tries to do this looks a lot at women at female
relationships at the ways in which society mistreats women and the ways in
which society is obsessed with like the stories and looking in like a voyeur on
the mistreatment of women and it's why a which is the categorization that I feel
a little bit weird about because this is so incredibly dark I would say that this
probably needs a content warning for like everything under the Sun but in
particular child abuse sexual abuse rape pedophilia substance abuse and addiction
it's just a lot of very very very gnarly stuff going on and yet we don't actually
see any of the abuse against women on the page we know that it's happened but
it's never laid out in detail which was a brilliant omission like an intentional
omission in this we have two perspectives the first is a guy he's
like a producer on a fictionalized version of this American life and he
gets a spin-off series investigating the disappearance of a girl in Sadie
Sadie's 13 year old younger sister was found in a field murdered and that case
is unsolved and then while later Sadie goes missing and so this guy's
name I don't even remember he starts a podcast of trying to figure out what
happened to Sadie and his perspective reads like a podcast transcript Summers
does an amazing job of capturing like the vibe of a kind of scripted kind
of interviewee podcast like serial so parts of it are clearly him reading from
a script parts of it are live interviews with
people in the town and people in Sadie's life they're actually producing a
podcast they're producing the podcast that is within this book as an actual
real life thing first episodes out I'll leave a link to it down below I haven't
listened to it yet but it's so good in this that I'm really really really
excited for the second perspective is Sadie herself she's not kidnapped she's
up and left to try and find and kill the man that she believes maybe knows to be
the murder of her sister in that podcast thing we get this lens of society's
weird fetishization almost of murdered girls murdered women and the awful
things that are done to them through Sadie's perspective there's this really
cool reclamation of agency I really liked that I do wish that this had just
been explicitly adult fiction it doesn't really make sense to me as y-a because
Sadie herself is 1920 so if we're talking like age demographics that's
really new adult and then in terms of themes there's not really much I would
argue around coming of age or finding yourself or finding your place in
society which I generally think of as the larger thematic threads that tie way
books together but at the end of the day why it is really just a marketing
demographic term I have some feelings about that I wish that Sadie's chapters
had leaned in to like adult literary fiction and been a little bit more
avant-garde almost but they're still super super strong like I said there's
no explicit grotesque violence on the page you know things are have happened
or are happening there's references to them happening but like it's explicitly
stated that they're not gonna go into details and now something I really
really likes what I was talking about with sharp objects where it's like oh
there's all this fucked-up shit that kind of I think sometimes can trick your
reader into conflating shock with a well-crafted book this is just a
well-crafted book because none of the shock stuff is actually in there so all
of the sense of foreboding of anxiety of horror and anger are not crafted using
shock tactics it's a lot harder to do that I
think and so I just think this book is a lot stronger because of that I
definitely recommend it it's coming out in September I am excited to hear what
other people think about it next I read a green and ancient light by Frederick s
turbine I enjoyed this I have some feelings about it
so I started out reading it just assuming and this is on me and I think
this is like an intentional thing that Durbin was doing that this was set in
England it's about a boy who lives in a city and had to be sent to the
countryside to avoid bombing so he goes deliver this grandma and
that's like straight Chronicles of Narnia stuff so for me that's what I
immediately associated the story with then an enemies plane crashes and the
main character in this who is never named
and his grandmother find the soldier and so I given the context that I was
putting on this book assumed that it was a Nazi soldier and I was like this is
very weird that they are caring for a Nazi soldier and we're just not
acknowledging the Nazi part and then I realized that I was being an idiot
because there were no names no places none of that and it's intentional and so
it's set in like who knows where kind of place it's almost like the fantastical
and reality or switch we have these kind of archetypal places and names for
things when it comes to fantastical fairy type stuff which is what this book
plays around with and then we have like reality which is like there's London
there's Germany there's Nazis there's the Allied powers those the Axis powers
so this book kind of flips it where the fantastical style feels more like
reality sometimes the one named character in this book is a faun
everything else is more archetypal we have the boy we have the grandma we have
a town's person I think it's interesting but ultimately when you lose that sense
of place when you strip back that context I lost interest and I wasn't
able to connect as strongly with the book it's still a nice story so I think
I gave this three stars it's very well written so that was nice
like a risky literary like craft decision to strip back context
ultimately for me that was a negative rather than something that made this
book super cool next I read sourdough by Robin Sloane and I really didn't like it
this book yeah I didn't like it everyone felt like a caricature rather than a
character I couldn't tell you what the main character's personality was like
douchey tech lifestyle caused her to have like an existential crisis and so
she literally is introduced to culture aka sourdough starter sometimes called a
culture and that is what resets her life I was like okay hello very heavy-handed
metaphor on top of that the people that introduced her to this culture are these
coded Roma characters like they're a made-up ethnicity and that was really
weird to me because I was like okay I think you're trying to get around
fetishizing any group but you still are clearly pulling from existing groups and
you're not like actually making this some magical mythical made-up race it
just looks like slightly tweaked version of existing cultures and so it still
feels kind of weird and exploitative and very other ring so that was strange
I really didn't like it none of the characters felt real to me the San
Francisco in this book didn't feel real to me and I think it was going for a
fairytale vibe but fairy tales when you're reading them in novel form like a
fairy tale retelling they work when the character feels real Viktor lavalla does
an amazing job of this in the change language I would a million percent
recommend that's more of a horror fairy tale that's the other thing I have I
keep using fairy tale because I think that's what the author was going for and
some of the motifs and images that he uses but what he's really crafting is a
heavy-handed fable fable with like a moralizing story fairy tales are very
similar to folk tales the Grimm brothers kind of made them into fables but
they're not really they're much more about fear and anxiety and that kind of
stuff and I didn't get that sense in here and so I was like oh I don't really
think that you're doing the right thing it just was not very good I didn't hate
it though which is why I gave it two stars versus one star I saved one stars
for books that I hate with a fiery passion and this I find annoying
not good but I don't hate it and lastly I read paper girls volume one by Brian
cave on and cliff Chang this is the first in a comic series about a group of
paper girls in the 1980s who stumble into some time-traveling stuff this felt
very very very introductory in a way that sometimes was a bit off-putting
there was so much new stuff introduced in this I think the book would have been
better served to have oh you've won be a little smaller in scope and then
introduce some of the other stuff going on here into volume two I'm going three
so it feels like this is a more complete story arc and I'm not saying that the
entire story arc needs to be in one volume because obviously not this just
didn't feel complete to me it felt very introductory that said I love the
characters I love the art style it's super fun I am very into the kind of
nostalgia factor that's going on I am still super excited to continue reading
the series so that's it for everything that I read in the month of July let me

Macaulay Culkin turned down 'Big Bang Theory' role three times - Duration: 3:59.
"Home Alone" star Macaulay Culkin has recently revealed that he was approached to be on the hit CBS series "The Big Bang Theory" but turned down the offer
The former child star shared the news that he was approached not once, not twice but three times, to appear on the fan-favorite sitcom
But despite the offer, Culkin said he passed on the opportunity. "They pursued me for 'The Big Bang Theory,'" Culkin said on the "Joe Rogan Experience" podcast
"And I said no. It was kind of like, the way the pitch was, 'Alright, these two astrophysicist nerds and a pretty girl lives with them
Yoinks!' That was the pitch. And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm cool, thanks.' And then they came back at me again, and I said, 'No, no, no
Again, flattered, but no.' Then they came back at me again, and even my manager was like twisting my arm
" But despite the success of the series, which is now heading into its 12th season, Culkin said he does not regret declining the offer
"I'd have hundreds of millions of dollars right now if I did that gig," he said
"At the same time, I'd be bashing my head against the wall." And it doesn't seem like the former child actor is in search for more fame
In April, Culkin appeared on "The Ellen Degeneres Show" and admitted that he wasn't a huge fan of the holiday season nor does he like to rewatch his famous film, "Home Alone
" "I definitely don't [go out]. It's my season," Culkin said. "It's Macaulay season
I try to go out less and less around that time of year." He continued, "How can a person look too much like himself? It's a curse and a blessing
I can get into any restaurant I want without a reservation, but while I'm there everyone's staring at me
" Culkin also opened up about taking a break from the spotlight to attend high school
"I was tired of it, to be honest, I did like 14 movies in six years or something like that," he said of his time as a child actor
"I was away from home a lot. I was away from school. I needed something else… It was great to be around people my own age for once … It was the smartest thing I could have possibly done was to take eight years off
" The usually-private star also recalled being given the reigns to his fortune upon turning 18
"I call it the 'Slip of Paper Meeting.' They kind of put a number on a piece of paper and slide it across the table," he told the talk show host
"I felt like some kid worked really, really hard and I inherited all of his money
"

Today we are talking about How To Start A Furniture Delivery Business and get customers.
Before we get started make sure to subscribe to the channel
where we talk about Making more money, saving more money
and building a better business and better you.
So with that being said let's break down how to start a furniture delivery business
and get customers.
I'm going to assume a few things and that you've already worked for a furniture delivery
company before and you know that you need to create a llc.
If you don't know how to create a llc then check out this video here.
Your next step is to get a truck.
If you cant buy a truck I would advise getting a rental for the time being.
You can probably rent one long term from Budget Rentals
Next step make sure you get commercial insurance.
There is no way you should have a furniture delivery company without insurance.
Things happen so you must be prepared.
There are few tools you will need.
I don't think I need to go over every tool you'll need to have
because you've worked for a furniture delivery company already right?
Instead getting a big crew I would hire help as I
need it.
Unless you start the furniture delivery company with a partner
then you need to higher people as needed.
Get yourself a 1800 number.
I will have a link in the description on where you can get that from.
So lets go over the check list You got you llc...check
You got you truck...check Insurance....
Check You got yourself atleast 2 or 3 ppl in your
crew.. check A 1-800 number...check
Now how the hell do you get customers?
When you first step out to get customers I would target independently owned thrift stores
that sell furniture or independently owned furniture stores.
These will be a easy way to get customers on a regular basis.
You can leave fliers for people to contact you at the check out
or you can set up an agreement with the store owner
and they will recommend your company as the delivery company to call
when setting up the delivery of the furniture.
I would also use a app called Goshare.
Goshare assists people to connect with on demand furniture delivery companies.
This is a perfect app for people that live in Atlanta, LA, Phoenix, San Diego, Jersey
City NJ, and a host of others.
You can sign up as a driver fairly easy.
You can apply directly on there website at Goshareapp.co
This will probably be the way you will get your business off the ground
while you do other forms of marketing.
