Amanda: Welcome.
I'm Amanda Cuocci, research writer here at Stansberry Research.
Today, I'm sitting down with my boss, Dr. David Eifrig to cover one of our toughest
topics… cancer.
Everyone, me, you, everyone watching - we've all been touched by cancer.
Whether it's you or someone you love, you've seen it.
You've felt it.
You've seen how devastating it can be.
That's why we're here today.
We want to talk about the latest in cancer research.
For those of you who don't know Dave, or Doc as most folks around here call him, he quit
a successful career on Wall Street to go to medical school at the age of 38 at UNC Chapel
Hill.
He then went on to become a research fellow at Duke in molecular biology, with published
research in ophthalmology.
So he's an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon.
Now he heads up four newsletters here, including his original and perhaps favorite, Retirement
Millionaire, where he shares insight into both the financial markets and health and
wellness topics.
Dave, I know we've followed cancer research for years.
And we're really excited at some of the most recent developments.
Why are we so focused on cancer right now?
Dave: Thanks, Amanda.
As you mentioned, cancer truly affects everyone.
This year, we're predicting 1.6 million new cases.
And we know that about 41% of men and 38% of women will get some type of cancer in their
lifetime.
It's also worth noting that it's the second leading cause of death in the U.S., just after
heart disease.
It's 1 in 4 deaths.
That's about 600 thousand people this year.
But that doesn't even count the toll cancer takes after you survive your first diagnosis.
We're now seeing that surviving cancer puts you at a higher risk of future cancers and
you're likely to face post traumatic stress disorder too.
So we know cancer is a killer.
We know it's hard to treat.
And I guarantee everyone watching us either has had cancer or knows someone with cancer.
Amanda: Right, that's why this is such an important topic.
For those watching, whether you know a lot about cancer or not, we're going to cover
some really useful stuff.
To start, we're going to explain what exactly cancer is.
Cancer forms when your cells start dividing too fast.
See, in a healthy body, cells divide to make new cells when you need them.
But sometimes the DNA that oversees all this gets damaged or mutates, so it can't put the
brakes on growing and dividing.
That's how we get tumors and other cancers.
And as these cancers grow and spread, they start hurting healthy tissue.
They can also hog all the blood supply and cause a host of problems.
Dave, can you explain some of the main contributors to cancer risk?
Dave: Yeah.
Here's the thing… cancer is one of those diseases with a lot of contributing factors.
I mean, we know that certain genetics and certain diets contribute to it.
Something called DNA is the first focus here.
It's like the blueprint for your body.
Every time it's copied, there's a chance for error.
That's why age is one of the biggest factors.
The more times our cells copy and divide, the higher the chance of introducing errors
in the DNA.
That's why you're more likely to get cancer the older you get because there are more opportunities
to introduce mistakes in DNA.
In fact, about 87% of all cancers form in folks over the age of 50.
That blueprint can also change from environmental factors.
Exposure to toxins, radiation, or inflammation all damage your DNA.
It's this damaged DNA that can lead to cancer.
That's why we recommend ways to combat these things in Retirement Millionaire.
For example, so much research shows how being inactive and sitting too much can cause, what,
about 10 different types of cancer?
It's crazy.
That's why exercise is the best thing you can do to help cut your risk.
I like to say, if you're moving, you're alive.
Simplest advice I can give.
Amanda: And great advice not only for preventing cancer, but good advice to help people with
cancer.
If you're already diagnosed with cancer, you're likely familiar with the traditional treatments.
It's typically a three-prong approach… surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
I remember it wasn't all that long ago the big breakthrough was to combine these treatments
and really hit cancer with them all to knock it out.
And we were seeing a lot of success with that.
Dave: Right, and we know from a lot of research that these usually work best together.
We've figured out how to pair surgery and radiation.
We've seen advances in surgery - like minimally invasive procedures.
We've seen lots of chemo advances.
And we even just learned about a new precision-based radiation diagnostic/treatment device.
It does both.
But there's still problems.
Chemo especially takes a massive toll on the body.
Lots of patients experience nausea and hair loss.
And it essentially wipes out your immune system, putting you at risk of other illnesses.
And radiation can cause other damage to your tissues.
That's why we were excited a few years ago to learn about another type of therapy.
It's immunotherapy and - we even wrote a book about it.
[Shows book]
Immunotherapy means you're essentially teaching your immune cells to fight off cancer.
Your immune system is really fantastic.
It fights off bacteria and viruses all the time.
So getting this chance to program it in a way to fight cancer is really using your body
to cure you.
The history of medicine here is great stuff.
It started in the late 1800s with Dr. William Coley.
He found a man who had a tumor in his neck named Fred Stein.
Fred went through four surgeries and they couldn't get it all.
But then he developed an infection on his face and you know what happened?
His immune system not only fought off the infection, but took care of the tumor too.
This was the start of research into immunotherapy.
Then decades later, Dr. James Allison in California started looking at antibodies.
His work with T-cells began in the 1980s and in 96 he was the first to show that blocking
the pathway that shut down T-cells could help them fight cancer.
In fact, he actually helped get the first antibody drug approved for cancer… in 2011.
It's ipilimumab, and we'll get to that in a moment.
Amanda: Just to take a step back, antibodies are really key here.
Antibodies are like spiders or Pac-man, if you remember that game.
They help our bodies hunt down invaders they've seen before.
Think about it this way.
When we have an invader, like a virus, our body will fight it off with our immune cells.
One type of cell, B cells, take the virus and make special proteins that attach only
to that virus.
These are antibodies.
They begin to help fight the current infection, but most importantly, if you come across that
virus again, your antibodies recognize it, latch on, and help you fight it off sooner
before it can really do damage - it's like if you see an enemy you recognize and already
know how to defeat it.
Dave: Exactly, and scientists now are making these antibodies that specifically attach
to just cancers, not to viruses or colds.
Unfortunately, one big struggle, you might guess, is that cancers are all so different.
So trying to find what we can target with these antibodies is tricky.
But we are starting to see some great results.
The antibody Allison developed is called ipilimumab.
He really turned the tide on survival rates for melanoma patients.
And just a side note… any drug in that ending is an antibody… and since they're made up
and all alike we call them mono-clones, or a single clone of an antibody.
Or a monoclonal antibody, or -mab.
That's the mab on the end of these drug names.
There's also a drug that hits a certain type of breast cancer.
It's trastuzumab.
And it's really making a difference for folks with breast cancer.
That's the number one cancer in women.
What's more, these antibody treatments specialize their attacks on cancer cells and often have
fewer side effects.
Amanda: Dave, I want to ask…
It doesn't seem intuitive.
I mean, you get cancer because your body's gone amuck.
Shouldn't your body be able to fight it?
Don't we have stuff in place so we don't attack our own cells?
Dave: That's a great point.
You see, immune diseases sometimes hurt us by attacking healthy cells.
That's why you get things like rheumatoid arthritis and other so-called autoimmune diseases.
But our immune system can knock out cancer.
That's why this kind of treatment is so important.
We're reprogramming our immune cells to fight off these rogue cells.
However, we only want to target only the cancer cells.
And what makes them different from healthy cells is the key here.
We need to know how they're different so we can hunt them down.
One way that cancer cells hide from our body is by using a receptor for something called
PD-1.
PD-1 is a tag that's found on fetal cells that let's mom's immune system know it's
a baby and not a foreign tissue it needs to destroy.
Cancer cells mutate and can express that receptor.
That means they're cloaked from our immune system… our body thinks they're a part of
us and not something strange and foreign.
Basically, the body doesn't think there's anything wrong with them.
So they live and keep dividing and spreading.
They also lose their normal self-killing machinery, making them immortal.
Some of these immunotherapy drugs work by knocking out that PD-1 receptor on all your
cells.
With that hiding trick gone, your immune cells can get in there and kill the cancer.
Amanda: I just want to say that another thing these drugs can do is target the actual mutations.
Remember, we mentioned that the mutations mess up the blueprints?
It's like that - your body might make the wrong protein or a step in a process is skipped
or broken.
These problems arise in specific cancers.
Now, one of these mistakes in the blueprint causes a problem with something called a mismatch
repair.
Basically, every time your DNA duplicates, there are proteins that go and fix any errors
in the DNA bases.
Think of it like a proofreader for your DNA.
Without a functioning proofreader, things can get messy.
So researchers from Hopkins a few years ago, looked at folks with this type of mutation
in patients with colorectal cancer.
It's around 4% of all cancer patients.
They saw that the antibody drug, Keytruda, honed in on this problem and helped folks
knock out their cancer.
Those with colorectal cancer but who didn't have this type of mutation, however, didn't
see this benefit.
It's exciting because it's the first time we've seen a response to immunotherapy in
patients with colon cancer.
62% of the folks with mutations responded to treatment.
And it turned out, the five year survival rates went up so much they stopped the study
at five years and people were still going.
That's unheard of for this kind of hard to treat deadly tumors.
Dave: That's why we're so interested in this stuff.
We're talking about real progress and even cures for cancers that used to be among the
deadliest.
And remember, we've got more on this in our book.
[holds up book]
We talk about what to do if you're diagnosed with cancer…
what you need to ask your cancer doctor… where to find the best cancer centers… and
how to get into a clinical trial.
I can't stress enough how important it is for anyone diagnosed with cancer or who has
a loved one with cancer - read this book.
Amanda: And folks, we also cover this kind of thing in our monthly newsletter, Retirement
Millionaire.
Each month we cover not only great market research and recommendations, but also ways
to help improve your health and wellness.
In fact, we've talked about some additional health tips for cancer, like fasting during
chemotherapy and how much exercise can reduce cancer risk.
And one thing we really mention a lot is taking care of your immune system.
Inflammation damages your healthy cells and keeps your immune system imperfect.
So doing things to cut down on inflammation and promote healthy immune cells goes a long
way to keeping you healthy.
For instance, one of the things we've said for years is to eat probiotic foods to keep
your gut bugs working right.
That's because most of our immune system is modulated by the bacteria living in our
intestines.
And Dave, you had a really good story on this…
Dave: Yeah, for years I've told other doctors they need to study yogurt with chemotherapy
patients to see if the gut bugs might help with the treatment.
And they always laughed and told me I was crazy, but I'm not actually crazy.
A new study published in Science proved me right.
They took folks who had antibiotics before immunotherapy and those who didn't take
them.
Now antibiotics kill bacteria, including what's in your gut.
So they found if you didn't have the higher number of gut bugs, you had a far lower response
rate to the medication.
Those who had high levels of gut bugs responded great.
I mean, adding probiotics after taking an antibiotic should be a no-brainer.
And adding probiotics to treatments involving our immune system – also no-brainer.
We're seeing how this all ties together and it's so important to not only understand,
but to arm yourself with what you need to get better.
Our job in my group at Retirement Millionaire is to empower you to take control of your
life.
Normally we talk a lot about how to do that financially – with investing and saving
money – but it's also about taking control of your health.
No one is going to take care of you.
The government won't…
Big Pharma won't… even your own doctor.
You need to be your own advocate.
Right now, we're offering Retirement Millionaire to you for just $99.
Consider it your road map to a healthier, wealthier, future.
And if you take us up on this offer, we're giving you a free copy of The Living Cure.

Tropical PvP | Factions | nUg Is Back - Duration: 3:41.
honestly guys I am truly disappointed now I just want to get something
straight there is no hate towards nUg in this video I just simply want to talk
about their behavior so if you guys don't know nUg is currently sitting on f
top one with 300 million dollars in the faction bank and they consist of half of
the people on the server and yes this also means staff members but even
though they have these staff members people in the chat still like roam free
and that's basically what I wanted to talk about now there is a bit of a
dispute between our faction Optifine and nug and to give a little back story
behind it nUg has set aside a claim right next to her base right before we have
finished our walls and by the time that they made these claims the rules on the
website had specifically prohibited the claim from being there and shortly after
talking with the faction members they decided to respond with things like this
retard alert class retard alert retarded fuck best cape get the fuck out
Rando trash fag gonna get split Mr. Zovoo a trusted member of the faction had
said we had seven days to make our base and do our claim the same guy responded with
you have the day and another guy from the same faction had said
that we are expected to have our claims done in less than 24 hours now I'm not
sure about this but another guy said nUg got bitch claims outside of our base too now
I just found out that the forums had been changed overnight and I'm kind of upset
about this now there was a rule I was hoping to stay there which was a side
rule from the rule staff disrespect and this rule surprisingly was removed and
the name of that is player disrespect and they have been accused for this far
too many times for me to count now I don't know too much but I am supposing
that a staff member is changing these rules to hide the fact that nUg has been
breaking them and in fact it does say here that these rules are subject to
change at any time without any notice now I want to think about the word
change now the Google definition for this word means to make or become
different and if we look at the side text we can see a proposal to change the law
and if we replace that with something very familiar such as rule and read it
again it says a proposal to change the rule and/or rules
now does that mean that this has all changed after this has gone down and
taken place well YES yes it does nug knows that they have broken several
rules and they refuse to take this penalty and that's why I'm asking for
something to be done thank you this is Optifine and we're signing out bye

This is my first ever fitness training - Duration: 3:40.
Hi friends, I'm now going to the gym and I will have training with a professional coach.
Hello, my name is Vlad and today I will be your coach in the gym.
Pauline, tell me please, do you like sports?
- Yes.
- Then we'll have a great fitness training today. Let's get down to the warm-up.
For a start, we knead our back.
During classes in the gym you need to do all the exercises with the right technique, always under the supervision of the coach.
We will begin our training with the basic leg exercises.
Hands on the belt, the chin is slightly lowered and we look in front of us.
We raise the leg, we try to raise it as high as possible.
We return back and back up, returned back and climb again.
The knee should not extend beyond the sock line. We raise and lower it.
Use one foot five times then the other.
Elbows are pressed and look at the floor.
Look, the elbow looks at one point.
Try to lower your hands completely at the bottom.
Take the joint into the castle.
And do not forget to breathe.
Well, what shall we try?
When do you sit down ...
You put the legs on top, here one and the second.
And when you reduce, a little bit delayed. Hold your hands here.
Friends, I hope you enjoyed it. Go in for sports, see you again.
Bye Bye.

Is There An Upside To Appraisals? | #AskMichaelMonday Ep. 13 - Duration: 1:29.
two houses next to each other same square footage one is a three-bedroom
once a four-bedroom in general is there a financial upside to the four-bedroom
over the four third bedroom for an appraisal perspective okay and that's a
little bit it depends on the buyer profile of the neighborhood
for instance when ami Coral Springs which is a very failing or did my family
I mean I'm referring to the traditional Kenny Withers parents and children sure
the fourth bedroom Nicole Springs is very important if I'm
appraising a 4-bedroom home across Prince I make sure I didn't use any
3-bedroom sales that I can all help it and conversely if I'm appraising a
three-bedroom home of course I don't use four-bedroom homes as comparison
stickers what's going to happen is I'm going to overvalue the three-bedroom
home because that fourth bedroom because of the buyer profile across Springs is
indeed going to get a premium even as the two loans the three bedroom and the
four bedroom of the exact same size we're from our Louisville area so it
depends now if I'm on the east side of town the fourth bedroom doesn't matter
so much I'm not concerned as some of my comparables don't have the exact same
bedroom count on the east side of town because it's more aged more aged more
singles and things of that nature so it doesn't matter as much as there

Most furniture is full of toxins which pollute your indoor air; - Duration: 5:26.
Most furniture is full of toxins which pollute your indoor air; here are 5 ways to eliminate
the poison
Your home is supposed to be a place where you can relax and unwind, but did you know
that your furniture can contain various toxins?
Even brand new furniture can be full of toxic chemicals used in various �harmless� features.
These compounds that make furniture comfy to lounge around in belong to volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), a class of chemicals.
VOCs are compounds that act as toxic gases.
They can pollute the air and once inhaled, can cause negative side effects like �eye,
nose, and throat irritation; headaches, loss of coordination, and nausea.� VOCs can even
harm your liver, kidneys, and your central nervous system.
Some VOCs can also cause cancer.
Listed below are some of the various toxins that can be found in furniture.
Acetaldehyde � A chemical used in perfumes for that �new-car� or �new-furniture�
smell, polyester resins, dyes, rubber production, and for tanning agent production.
Benzene � Benzene can be found in detergents and dyes, which can be used on your furniture.
It is also used as a solvent for waxes, resins, and plastics that are used to make furniture.
Formaldehyde � A a colorless chemical with a strong odor, formaldehyde is often found
in pressed-wood products, glues, adhesives, plywood, fabrics, and coatings for various
products.
Hexabromocyclododecane (HBCD) � HBCH belongs to a category of toxic flame retardants.
Perchloroethylene � Commonly used for dry cleaning fabrics and metal degreasing.
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) � Often used to make carpets, leathers, and upholstering
to waterproof and stain-resistant.
Phthalates � A class of chemicals used in various products, phthalates are used on floor
tiles, furniture upholstery, carpet backings, and packaging for different products.
Polybrominated Diphenyl Ethers � These are additional flame retardants classified in
a cluster because they contain several chemical combinations.
They seep out of foams, plastics, and fabrics.
They can pollute the air and accumulate in the environment.
Trichloroethylene � A VOC used as a solvent for dry cleaning and metal degreasing.
Vinyl Acetate � A chemical used to make polyvinyl, adhesives, paints, films, and lacquers.
Removing toxins in your furniture Here�s how to remove or minimize the toxin
levels in your furniture:
Air purifiers and PCO cleaners � A high-quality air filter can significantly reduce the dangerous
chemicals that are released into the air from your furniture.
Take note that while PCO cleaners use UV light to change gas-based pollutants into harmless
products, they can�t remove particles like air purifiers.
Baking soda � A lot of VOCs are acidic so you can use baking soda, which is alkaline,
as a deodorizer.
Baking soda can trap harmful gases and provide some relief.
Sprinkle baking soda on your furniture or over carpets.
Using the brush attachment on your vacuum, work it into the material.
Let the baking soda sit for a while, then vacuum the furniture or carpet clean.
Charcoal filters � Use a charcoal filter to remove some of the VOCs in the air.
Always change the filters to maximize its efficacy.
House plants � Several varieties of house plants can help absorb chemicals in the air.
Try some purple waffle plant (Hemigraphis alternata), English ivy, purple heart, foxtail
fern, and wax plant, which all have incredible air-filtering abilities.
(Related: 8 Air Purifying Plants to Naturally Clear Toxins From Your Home.)
Ventilation and �off-gassing� � After you buy new furniture, let it �air out�
on your lawn or garage.
This lets the chemicals evaporate from the furniture quickly.
This won�t eliminate VOCs completely, but it can help off-gas other VOCs.
Aside from following the tips above, you can also minimize the toxins in your home by getting
rid of any toxic cleaning products that you own.
Replace them with eco-friendly products that can be bought from the local natural market.
You can even make your own cleaning products.
Try some vinegar and water for a natural disinfectant and degreaser.
Baking soda with some clove oil can help disinfect your bathroom.
Ensure that your home is also well-ventilated.
Regularly air out the rooms to prevent the accumulation of chemicals.
It�s virtually impossible to eliminate all the toxins in your home, but these tips can
help minimize exposure.

Jeanne Ohm_Chiropractic in Pregnancy: What is the Webster Technique? - Duration: 4:29.
what is the webster technique and what is it that can provide for mother who
haven't heard back they really have so what is it well it's a very specific
adjustment of the sacrum which is a triangle bone yeah you got the triangle
bone and you got the pelvis coming around so first off if that if that if
that bone is out of alignment it's gonna put pressure on the nerves and we talked
about the importance of the mother's nervous system functioning so we want to
make sure there's no pressure on the nerves so she's got maximum function and
the baby developing does the other thing is that if that triangle bone is out of
alignment the whole pelvis follows it and twists well now the baby's in there
and as they're trying to grow in there their little turnin you know
squeezed I mean it's a small space to begin with but you want to make sure
that you've got balance there the end of the best space you can so so they might
be contorted off in this position now trying to come out if it's out of
balance it's going to be difficult more difficult for them so we certainly want
it balanced as she approaches the birth and if it's out of balance for
throughout her pregnancy that will compromise potentially where the baby
can line up we want the baby to line up in a certain position where it's going
to be easiest for them to come out if they're in some other position it's
gonna be harder to come out I mean it's designed a certain way and it's designed
that way for a reason so some people say well we gave birth very you know
centuries why all of a sudden the big the big reason is because we sit all day
and women are sitting now longer and longer
I mean granted we've set from kindergarten to twelfth grade you know
women have been doing that for many years but now preschool and kids are
sitting earlier and then they come home from school instead of running outside
and playing they're sitting in front of the TV sitting in front of a computer so
all their lives they're sitting sitting sitting and women are coming out and
going to net higher levels of college that's another six years that they're
sinning then they come out and they get a job more women are working on and
they're sitting at their jobs and that position knocks the the pelvis out of
alignment that continuous repetitive posture will affect her pelvic alignment
and as we said the biggies ability to get into that position and come out so
because of our modern lifestyle our human body isn't doing the things that
should be doing and we need something to kind of counteract that and bring the
balance back so it's an adjustment very light the
drop table we find just the spot and we make the adjustment and that brings back
the balance and of course people who had pain you know they're having back pain I
have heard this is that they feel great after it because oh that's fun we help
teach them how to sit correctly and how to work with their body while it's
pregnant and it's imperative I think you know to be adjusted coming into boat so
you got everything functioning that's what is it and and what we have observed
that crazy thing is for some of these moms coming in and the babies transverse
or posterior or breech we start making this adjustment the baby goes head down
we're not turning or anything we're just doing a chiropractic adjustment but
creating the balance that needs to be beat the basal thank you now I can go
where I have to go and that's essentially
you know what it does so yes it's just funny contractor he watches

[RWBY] IS THIS THE END? - "Downfall | REACTION - Duration: 17:16.
hey guys lobo freak here and welcome to episode 13 of RWBY
if you haven't seen the past episodes I will
I'll leave the full playlist
in the comments (and description)
where you can watch all the related to this volume
and about the previous videos
I still have some videos block so maybe you noticed that
so I had to skip some episodes I think episode 8 and 9 are still block
and probably this video will also be block
so maybe you will see it like one week after the oficial video is up in youtube
so
there is a lot happening now
we still are in the fight scene in the middle of the school (I think)
where we left in the last episode
so let's go right to the episode
I think is a bit low, na you're fine
I told you that i don't remember a
combo atack with Ruby and Yang
that was from Ozpin
that thing is takeing so much time
then he is not actually healing her
he is amplifying her aura
and she can heal herself more faster
he is using electricity
I'm sorry?
but is electricity
he does not need to feel pain
he just need to be out
that's why I love her
even more?
he is takeing so much more of what I thought in combat
she is here!
well
ask kindly never works
yeah I do not think it just gives up
I was thinking that Adam will come with
a lot of people more
but this was an infiltration
I guess they need a small team
well that will ruin you
mama Belladona [ :3 ]
on this point what is happening with Raven and Cineder?
well you have not option tho
is so out of control it does not even look like Adam
[lol what?]
just like that?
does it bleed?
Weiss is bleeding why he is not?
he just got stabbed by that thing
where? oh with Raven!
he does not even deserve her time
I love that smug face of Weiss
Blake run away?
she can shoot her blade?
the last episodes really show off
the fight animations
unlike the first ones
taking about it
Cinder is part Grimm now?
well I think on that last episode but
wow fuck it this fight is much better than that
thinking on it
Raven has a lot of time with this powers
that means that she should be a much much better
than Cinder useing it
fuck me this is like watching Dragon Ball Z
they switch Blades!
Raven is using ice?
I don't get ...
I don't get it why Raven being the
Spring maiden is using ice
don't let something happend to Raven please
and here is when the music kicks in
the color of Raven blade just change
it switch to Yellow
now blue!
I still don't know how that works
Raven should be so much better using her powers
plus she has a lot more of experience in combat
even tho they looks really similar
it can be the end of Cinder
Vernal looked like a really interesting character
I would love to see more of her
going back to what just what saw
what an amazing fight scene we just had
and I just don't understand
why we had just 1 fight like this
have been a bit off
different of what RWBY just to be
and this brings me back of thos days
taking about the fight scenes
oh right that's the door to
then what is the relic
that's the relic then
for a moment I thought that the place or the tree
was the relic
or not really a physical object
she wont fight Raven right?
OK GUYS THAT WAS EPISODE 13
one before of the end of the volume
I really thought that fight of Raven and Cinedr would be at the end of the volume
but looks like is still a bit more for coming
few thing to mention
this was and excellent
fight scene between Raven and Cinder
I do not understand why there were no more scenes like this in previous volumes
like the fight of Qrow and Taryan
I would love to see a choreography like that in that fight
even when Qrow feld really different of what we think he will fight
and this time he is not part of the main fight he is not even on sceen too much
for which I feel disappointed because I love Qrow
and all the versatility he can get with his weapons
in the other hand Raven just show us
how experienced she is with her powers
like what I said
even when Cinder has a lot of power she is still really young
and she has no experience with it
and looks like in the RWBY world experience is everything
and the pros they are pros because they have the experience
and that's why the young ones need to go to the school to learn how get it
and live in the outside world to use it
But ravenhas done this for years
for so so long
in the comment section of the last episode I said that
with some basic maths she is around 40 years
right now
a lot of them with
the maiden power
so she know her limits and how to use it of the best way
Cinder in the other hand just got them
and even tho
she know how to use it very well
but she is still young
still does not have that experience in combat
and that I think is the main differences
also that ambition of power make her blind to everything
and here we saw a lot of that
the big difference bewteen Raven and cinder
Raven didn't get hit I think
and Cinder got hit by everthing around her
the place, the rocks and Cinder [Raven*]
and that grimm arm do not have an aura so
it's just a big target to hit
but guys I will elave the video here
thank you for everything and see you in the next one!

Wadi Al-Salam: Magnificent Ancient Cemetery in Iraq is Largest in the World | New Discovery - Duration: 8:04.
Wadi Al-Salam: Magnificent Ancient Cemetery in Iraq is Largest in the World.Wadi Al-Salam, meaning Valley of Peace in Arabic, is an ancient Islamic cemetery located near the holy city of Najaf, Iraq
From an aerial view, it looks like a sprawling city. However, upon closer inspection, its features become more distinguishable
This record-breaking cemetery contains approximately five millions bodies, making it the largest graveyard on earth
With graves stretching as far as the eye can see, there are more tombs here than the population of most cities
People have been buried at this cemetery for close to 1,500 years and it is estimated that 500,000 bodies continue to be placed at the site each year
Enormous City of the Dead.While Najaf is one of Iraq's biggest cities, with a population close to 600,000, the adjoining "city of the dead" has a population of millions
The enormous cemetery covers an area of 1485.5 acres, which is about the size of a small town in the U
S. It contains the remains of millions of ordinary citizens as well as hundreds of revered Islamic religious figures, clerics and political and social leaders
The site is also located close to the holy shrine of Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib. Because of this, nearly all of Iraq's Shi'a Muslim population requests to be buried here
An enduring tradition.Wadi Al-Salam is the only cemetery in the world where the process of burial still continues as it did more than 1,400 years ago
The cemetery contains graves built with baked bricks and plaster that vary in height
Among the tombstones are room-size family crypts built by the wealthy which are often topped by domes
Graves from the 1930s and 1940s have their own style, soaring up to ten feet high with rounded tops so that people would see them over their neighbors
It is said that each crypt is capable of holding up to 50 bodies and there are several kinds of burials, with lower graves, and high graves (towers)
There are also underground burial vaults which are accessible only by ladder.A cemetery for all
Wadi Al-Salam is not just for followers of the Shia school of Islam and little distinction is made between the rich and the poor; there are also those who will pay for others who wish to be buried at the site
Bodies have been received from around the world including southeast Asia, India, Pakistan, Iran, the Gulf Arab and other countries
Interestingly, the Lebanese own a share of the cemetery with the first Lebanese burial dating back to 1964, when Sheikh Mohammad Taqi Sadiq was laid to rest here
Historical significance.The historical significance of Wadi Al-Salam lies in the fact that it holds some of the oldest known Muslim graves and is the location of the shrine of Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib
Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib was the Prophet Muhammad's cousin and son-in-law who ruled over the Islamic Caliphate from 656 to 661
He was the first male to accept and convert to Islam. Many other prophets, kings, princes and Sultans are buried in this cemetery, including the Prophet Hud, Prophet Saleh, and Ayatullah Sayyid Muhammad Baqir al-Sadr
Shia tradition holds that Abraham bought land in Wadi Al-Salam and that Ali believed Wadi was a part of heaven
It is related on the authority of the Fourth Holy Imam, Imam Sajjad (as) that Imam Ali (as) once said:
"This Valley of Peace (Wadi-us-Salaam) is part of Heaven and that there is not a single one of the believers in the world, whether he dies in the East or West, but his soul will come to this Paradise to rest
As there is nothing hidden in this world from my eyes," Maula Ali ('a) went on to say, "I see all the believers seated here in groups and talking with one another
".Rituals and traditions.The graveyard holds importance in Shiite belief as it has been said that the souls of all faithful men and women shall eventually be moved to Wadi Al-Salam, no matter where their bodies are buried
Some rituals carried out before burial in the cemetery include the body being washed and wrapped at the cemetery, funeral prayers conducted inside the Imam Ali shrine, the deceased being carried around the shrine three times, and some Quranic verses which are recited at the cemetery
Military presence.In recent years, there has been an increased military presence in the area due to the frequent violence that has occurred at the site
During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, armed fighters of the Iraqi militia frequently used the cemetery to hide and ambush approaching enemy units
Since it is full of winding lanes and underground mausoleums, the U.S. army could not take control of the area
When the rebels took refuge in the narrow spaces among the crowded tombs, the Iraqi army ruthlessly bulldozed its way through the graves
To this day, piles of wrecked cages from the graves remain stacked along the roadsides
The violence that has overwhelmed Iraq ever since 2003, and the resulting high death toll, has led to a massive expansion of the graveyard, swelling by 40 percent and by three square miles
The cemetery has grown every year since this period, first with the clashes against U
S. forces, then during the sectarian wars of 2006-2007 when Shiites and Sunnis were killing each other at will, and finally in the 2008 battles with the Iraqi army
As of 2014, coinciding with the conflict with ISIL (Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant), it has been reported that burial plots are running out, resulting in many being stolen, illegally resold, or improvised
Wadi Al-Salam is currently on UNESCO's tentative list for registration as a World Heritage site

What Is Considered An Upgrade? | #AskMichaelMonday Ep. 13 - Duration: 1:59.
what is considered an upgrade and please explain how upgrades affect the
appraisals final value that's a really important question for people that are
done a lot of work to their house or considering doing a lot of work to their
house sure I get that question when I when I go into a house there's like we
did all this work there's account for anything I'm like listen if it matters
to a buyer it matters to an appraiser does it matter to a potential purchaser
that you've remodeled the kitchen remodel bathrooms and upgrading the
flooring of course it does well it matters to an appraiser too so what
they've done and this is in relation to the Dodd Frank thing as well
since that time were we base the home the condition of the home on the Uniform
appraisal data set so they have six categories that an appraiser that that a
home is rated as far as condition goes C 1 through 6 C 1 being the best being
okay so I'm just gonna read one of the categories for you C 3 okay because this
is what I get most this is what most houses are that I appraise this is what
a C 3 home has the improvements that is the home are well maintained and feature
limited physical depreciation due to normal wear and tear some components but
not every major building component may have been updated or recently
rehabilitated the structure has been well-maintained okay so that's a C 3 and
that's what most of the homes I run to in now if a home is more highly updated
maybe it's got new windows and it's been completely remodeled it's gonna slide
into the higher category of C tip okay so if your house is a C 3 and I'm using
a sale where the house has given us C 2 condition rating and I base that
condition rating on what I see in the MLS generally because I can see lots and
lots of pictures of the home in this MLS then I have to make a downward
adjustment to that comparable sale but the the thrust of the answer is this yes
your upgrades matter if they matter to a potential purchaser they matter
to an appraiser sir you're gonna get rated based your condition of your homes
gonna get rated partially based on the upgrading that you

IEP Discussion Guide: What Specific Data is Available - Duration: 4:51.
[Note to Viewers: Because English and ASL
express concepts in different ways, the timing of
the English captions and ASL may not always line up.]
What specific data is available
regarding the student's present level
of academic and social language?
This section explains
how to gather and use data
to determine the student's
academic language and other skills.
Deaf and hard of hearing students have complex
and diverse needs.
So, a variety of
methods and tests should be used
when assessing them,
to get the most reliable picture
of their strengths and needs.
The team needs to be sure
that the data collected
is current, valid, and reliable.
Using formal and informal assessments,
systematic observations,
work samples,
and input from parents, students, and teachers
is important.
This data will help the team accurately describe
the student's present level of performance.
The present level guides the IEP team
to determine goals and objectives,
necessary accommodations for communication access,
language of instruction,
and appropriate services.
These prompts provided in this section
look at whether or not
the data is current, valid and reliable.
The prompts also help people to decide if that data
provides evidence
to identify instructional strategies
and appropriate adaptations.
The team should also discuss
how clearly the data
describes the student's present levels
of performance,
and if it guides the team
in determining what factors are affecting
the student's growth.
Many assessments do not include
deaf and hard of hearing students
in the norming sample.
This means that tests compare deaf/hard of hearing
student performance
with students who can hear.
This may affect the interpretation of results.
It is important to carefully interpret
the challenging access for young students.
This is especially true when interpreting information
related to reading difficulties.
This information should be clearly
identified in the evaluation report.
Because of the multiple factors involved with testing
a student who is deaf or hard of hearing,
it is very important that the evaluator be able to:
explain,
accurately interpret the impact of hearing loss,
communicate fluently in the student's primary language,
and interpret other factors that might
impact student learning and development.
For example, if the examiner is unaware
of how hearing loss
affects language development,
he may assume
the student has language or academic delays
because of cognitive processing challenges
[not because of access].
Some students do have different disabilities
but hearing loss impact must be
carefully interpreted first.
Therefore, a teacher for deaf and hard of hearing
should be involved in testing
to help interpret the impact of limited hearing access
when using tests with spoken language.
If the student uses American Sign Language,
the evaluator should be fluent in ASL
in order to maintain results that are reliable,
and to be able to accurately assess the student's skills
in areas being evaluated.
Another resource guide that has
descriptions of assessments
that are specific to deaf
or hard of hearing students
is available through this link:
Finally, the Guide also provides
a list of possible sources and materials to consider
when assessing students,
in the appendix at the end of this Guide.
From a parent perspective,
the Guide helps me understand the IEP process,
and to ask questions about the data for my daughter.

Top 10 Reasons Why Sonic Is The Best Character In Smash Bros - Duration: 5:23.
Hey guys!
Welcome back to Top 10 Gaming, I'm Ron McKenzie-Lefurgey.
Sonic was once again included in Super Smash Bros, and this time around he's quite highly
rated.
Some say that he's the best in the whole game!
Most… don't, but that's fine.
It should be noted that I'll just be talking about the Wii U game where Sonic is very highly
ranked, and although he's technically rank 5… let's just ignore that for now.
I'm not saying he's literally the best; let's just have fun and not split hairs.
Now get ready, it's time for the Top 10 Reasons why Sonic is the best character in
Super Smash Bros!
Number 10: He got buffed a ton since Brawl.
Many believe that Sonic received the most buffs of any character between Brawl and Smash
4.
Spindash and homing attack had their animations sped up a bunch, his tilts had gained power
and range, his throws got better, just to name a few.
In Brawl he was ranked 22nd overall, compared to a 5th place ranking in Smash 4.
So if anyone has only played Brawl and you're wondering how such a mediocre character got
so good… it's because they made him better.
Number 9: He's fast!
As you would expect, the character famous for his speed is pretty darn fast.
He's actually the fastest character in the game, over 50% faster than the 2nd fastest,
Captain Falcon.
His dash has an instantaneous start up and a very short ending animation.
His speed makes him pretty forgiving, since you can make up lost time very easily.
This lets him get to items faster, get under falling enemies, or escape scary people pretty
easily.
It's also really useful for faking someone out, making them blow a move then taking advantage
of the cooldown.
Number 8: Spin Dash baloney.
The Spin Dash is kind of a souped up version of Sonic's dash attack, and it can be pretty
darn strong.
It gives him a bunch of manoeuvrability, lets him setup combos, and can be cancelled instantly
with a shield if he changes his mind.
Do I sometimes use this move and send myself flying off the edge?
Sure.
By sometimes do I mean every game?
Yes, yes I do.
But it's still a great move.
Number 7: Dash attack spam.
Mmm.
Not gonna lie, I've loved playing Sonic ever since his introduction just because of
this move.
It's so fun, and so easy, you just run in their direction and press A, and suddenly
they're smacked up.
It even goes through a lot of attacks, making it an insanely safe move.
Plus, it's hard to miss, which is great for terrible, terrible players like myself.
Then you can either let them fall back down and spin dash them again, which is usually
my choice, or if you're particularly skilful you can use Sonic's sweet combos.
Speaking of which…
Number 6: The combos.
Oh the combos.
While Sonic's quite talented using hit-and-run tactics, he really shines in his air combos.
With so much speed and manoeuvrability, Sonic is able to not only get in position for his
combo, but is able to properly shift his position throughout the combo to assure everything
goes off without a hitch.
There are a few different combos you can do with the guy, most of which start with some
sort of spin dash or dash attack, and they are just deadly.
Number 5: His up B. Sonic's up-B is one of the most useful in the game, even if it
might not look like it on first glance.
It's really great for setting up air combos and escaping enemy attacks, since it goes
off so instantaneously.
And of course, the height and speed of it is great for recovery.
Plus, it creates something to throw, or bounce on again, giving it even more utility when
used on the ground.
There's nothing more satisfying than finishing someone off with a Hail Mary spring toss.
Number 4: Air power.
One thing that's very important in Smash games is the ability to fight in the air.
Much of the game is spent trying to abuse jumping and air attacks to take your enemy
out.
And Sonic is great in the air.
His Up B lets him get really high really quickly, allowing for wicked air combos, and if he's
caught up high, no problem.
That's where his down air comes in.
His down air is super quick and relatively safe if used properly; you can get down to
the ground before your opponent even knows what's happening, and if you start high
enough you won't even have any landing lag.
Number 3: His forward smash A. This is probably the most-used finishing move, since it's
pretty easy to land and is surprisingly strong.
It can be used pretty quickly out of a dash, which is great for those who want to go fast.
The range is surprisingly long, letting you snag people who might think they're safely
out of range.
Even uncharged, it can often result in a KO against people over 100 damage.
Most importantly: it doesn't require a difficult combo.
So this is my bread and butter.
Number 2: Hit-and-run tactics.
Sonic is one of if not the best hit-and-runner in the whole game, which probably isn't
super surprising.
His crazy speed combined with his spindash attack allows him to run in, do a bit of damage,
and get right back out before the enemy even has a chance to do anything.
This is pretty much my MO when I play Sonic, which is why people hate me.
You can just do damage bit by bit before giving them one last smash to end it.
Ironically, you can use Sonic's ridiculous speed to prove that slow and steady wins the
race.
Number 1: He breakdances in a taunt.
Look, all this fancy info about his special moves is all good and fun, but let's be
real; the best part is his down taunt.
We all know Sonic's famous for his breakdancing, and a sweet windmill at the start of a game
can set your opponent's mind a flutter.
Dear God, this guy's got moves, how can I even try to defeat someone who's just
so fly?
And by then, you've hit them with 3 spin dashes, and they're calling your character
cheap!
Mmmm it feels so goooood.
That's it for today!
Hope you guys enjoyed, if you did please smack that thumbs up button and subscribe to Top
10 Gaming for more videos!
Let me know your favourite Smash Bros game and character in the comment section down
below!
Personally, I love me some Captain Falcon in Smash Bros 64.

Is Culture Important? - Duration: 3:59.
My name is Steve Utech with illumyx My name's Chad Kopitzke with NeXtGen
advantage. And I am Melissa Borowicz with The Utech Group and we're here today
to answer some of the questions that you submitted to us
Alright, so our first question
comes from Andy from De Pere, and Andy asks, "How important is culture, and do I really need to work on it?"
I think, most organizations, I think, view
culture has just internal but it's everything it's it's people that you
bring into your organization to interview and how are they treated as
they leave or somebody that walks in and says I'm given by two weeks how are they
treated does their walked out the door or just even a communication from a
vendor or how you talk about your organization from a vendor customer or
supplier all of that goes into that perception and that can oftentimes
spread
I have a contrary view that I'm going to through out there maybe culture isn't important because I know I
know many companies have been successful they've made money they've been
profitable and it's been a really miserable place to work in and I think
there's a segment of the business world it's like well culture's just buzzword it's not
really important we can just drive efficiency and squeeze more out of the people we do have
yeah I think that's an interesting dilemma I mean I don't know what you're seeing Chad
but with unemployment rates being so low and with people having such a hard time
recruiting new people I think in the past companies can say you know what
people work for us they have a job that's benefit enough that they're employed and they're here to be
efficient and perform and hit these numbers and while those things need that happen
for any business to be successful I think the expectations of employees
coming into the workforce now are a lot higher and they can be because they can
leave it go someplace else if it if the culture is not a good fit so in the past
I think it used to be that it didn't probably matter but in the future I
think that's really going to change soon - it's already changing and will continue to change more significantly
again, I look at it more a generational perspective of a stable job is different than a fulfilling job
this younger generation- this younger professionals they're looking to buy
into a purpose to buy into that that why of why come work here and I
think previous generations were just no it's a job it pays the bills I'll work
my way through that that environments just a little bit different thing so I
agreed we weren't definitely going through some changes and and culture is
playing on a big huge role to combat that so you thoughts to compare no
actually I think like not focusing culture can be a way to just get by because
you don't have to do it but if you want to be competitive is going to grow and
set yourself apart you have to focus on you got to do something and I think
those that don't they could get left behind and they might survive for a few
more years but slowly start moving you start to do so I always think is a business owner myself
how do you stay proactive and and have heard many cultures one of the things that's
been talked about but people are just starting to get more serious about it
well those were some of our thoughts on workplace culture and the importance of
focusing on it and how that's tied to your overall performance as an
organization if you'd like to add to the discussion please comment below if you
have other questions that you would like us to explore regarding culture
leadership, team dynamics, recruiting and retention share those questions and
we'll address those and future videos that we do thank you
