The ESRB Responds To Censored Gaming's Email! - Duration: 2:47.

You may recall how in a recent Censored Gaming video, it mentioned how I decided to send

the ESRB an email asking why games are treated just so much stricter than things like movies

and TV.

You should be able to find a link to the video in question on the screen now, so make sure

you check that out as well, but, in summary, a big part of the video was taking a look

at what the ESRB calls "Principles and Guidelines for Responsible Advertising Practices".

This is a big long list of rules that all video game advertising must follow - this

includes things like trailers, commercials and even video game covers on shop shelves.

In the Sexual part of the rules, the ESRB says that any "overtly sexualized depictions

of a character's body parts, such as breasts and buttocks" are not allowed, and this is

the reason why changes like this have to often be made in the US.

This might seem strange though, as also in the US you'll be able to find tits everywhere

from magazine covers to TV commercials.

So why do the ESRB have these rules then that treat games so much worse?

Well, a communications manager at the ESRB has now responded to my request for comment

and here's what they had to say.

First they clarified that when game advertising is examined, they look at each on a case-by-case

basis, and don't just look at the content but also the context.

They explain that they have no insight or control into how other mediums operate from

an advertising or standards perspective and can only speak for games and the standards

which the industry has agreed to establish and have the ESRB enforce.

So, with them talking about taking things like context into consideration, it might

seem that the rules may not be as strict as was thought.

However, they finish by pointing out that they also must be mindful of the broader population

that may come across an ad.

It is with this point where all of the restrictions seem to be coming from.

Despite a game being rated Mature, for example, its advertising must still keep in mind things

like children who may end up stumbling across the material.

So, in summary, the ESRB aren't able to talk about how other mediums operate but, yes,

the ESRB does regulate advertising.

And despite children being allowed to see sex on things like TV all of the time, the

ESRB doesn't see this as a reason to start allowing these things in video game advertising.

The communications manager finished by saying they are happy to take any other questions

so, Censored Gaming is asking you, what do you think about all of this and is there anything

that you'd like to see asked?

Let me know in the comments below and, as always, thank you for watching.

My 5 Goals for FannishReviews in 2017 - Duration: 4:39.

Hello Internet.

Around here I go by KatOfDiamonds and welcome to my FannishReviews.

Like all of the channels, basically, I'm doing the same thing -- I want to talk about my

goals for reading in 2017.

For the first time in 4 years, I failed my reading challenge last year.

And as far as resolutions come, I don't really want to call them resolutions.

I feel when you call them resolutions and then you don't make your resolutions, there's

like a big stigma about Failing Yourself.

But I just want to set goals for myself which means that I will take daily actions towards

them and be excited for myself when I have done enough of them.

Or all of them.

Versus resolutions seem so finite.

So with that perspective in mind, I've given myself 5 goals for my reading habits & FannishReviews for 2017.

#1 - I want to read 52 books this year.

It was my goal last year and I kinda changed it to 50 as the 2/3 or 3/4 of the year went

through and I really realized the the end of the year was not going to be good reading for me.

And this time I want to stick to that [52].

#2 - I want to cut my unread books in half.

I think I have 50 unread books.

I- In a previous video I had, like, 75 [books] or something but I do remember actually culling

a few that I hadn't read and had lost interest in reading.

I probably should do that again but I might wait and do that at the end of the year 'cause

it kind of leads into my third goal.

#3 - I want to buy less books in 2017 AND therefore buy more books from brick and mortar stores.

In my last two hauls, and even I think the haul before that, I talked about buying books

on Amazon, BookDepository and BookOutlet.

And there's nothing wrong necessarily with buying books from those places -- 'specially

since I don't have a car so Amazon is really helpful to me for buying books in their release week.

But at the same time, I do want to support my brick and mortar, favorite stores anyways

and really kind of by proxy help the publishing industry, and local businesses, and small businesses.

Just making that conscious decision more often -- maybe by ordering through their online

services instead of Amazon and then having one there for me to pick up.

And that will just require researching, like, how long they'll hold a preordered book for

you or if they'll hold it and you pay for it or if I have to pre-pay, etc.

#4 - Actually to help with #1 & #2, I want to participate in more Readathons.

I have mostly just participated in BookTubeathon, which I totally love and absolutely plan on

participating in again this summer.

But there's also these other wonderful Read-Your-Selfathons...

24 readathon...

There's the wonderful Around-The-Worldathon that Melbourne on my Mind has started.

So really I just want to not only read my shelf more but

get back involved in the BookTube community that way.

#5 - Borrowed from my main channel because I want to do it here, too -- I want to have

at least 90% of the videos of 2017 captioned on this channel.

After this video.

Or maybe this video..

It really just kinda depends on what my week looks like but that will also maybe push me

into scripting more videos or building that process into my creation process a little

bit more..

It takes me so long to do it.

This is my side husstle that doesn't pay and I work a full time job and I want to have a life.

Also, reading takes a long time.

But captioning and having proper captions is important to me.

And as always, for this video, future videos or videos in the past that don't have it,

I do allow caption submissions, if you would like to help me in this goal.

And having this goal to have captions might change my content a little bit.

I might be making shorter videos or long videos with music in the background.

Setting this goal, of the percentage so high, might end up changing the content I create

but also I think it will push me to create content I am even happier with.

And that's that for this video.

I hope you've enjoyed my goals and let me know in the comments if you are doing the

same thing.

Feel free to link your video, if you have done the same video as me.

I know that video responses are pretty much nonexistent anymore

and I don't think that should be a thing!

Any other YouTube engagement, like Liking and Subscribing and all that jazz, please

do it if you feel the need to.

And really, until my next video, Happy Reading.

*blows kiss*

American Real Estate Investments and Get Rich Education Tour Dallas - Duration: 9:54.

(upbeat music)

Hello everyone I'm John Larson one of the partners

here at American Real Estate Investments.

I'm joined by my good friend Keith Weinhold

from Get Rich Education.

He has excellent podcasts that we tune into every week.

Keith is joined us here in Dallas all the way

from Anchorage, Alaska to come tour the Dallas market,

meet the American Real Estate Investments' team,

tour our areas where we invest in

and check out some great investment properties.

So for those of you that don't know about

Get Rich Education I'd like to introduce you to Keith

at this point and Keith why don't you let the audience

know a little bit about the podcast,

some of the topics that you cover

and why it's a good kind of show to check out.

- Yeah well thanks John and I appreciate being here

at American Real Estate Investments in Dallas.

My name is Keith Weinhold you might know me

because I'm the host of the Get Rich Education podcast

and own getricheducation.com where we use

an abundance mindset to invest in real assets

especially real estate for an outcome

of lifestyle improvement, not just more doors,

not just more income, not just more time

that that opens up but an outcome of lifestyle improvement

typically secured with real estate.

So I've had the good fortune to host Robert Kiyosaki

and most of the Rich Dad advisors on my show

and I'm a contributing writer

to the Rich Dad advisors myself

and I often provide content to you so we can really

help you build the passive income in your life

so you can live a life better than you ever thought

you could through Get Rich Education.

- So at this point let's get in the car let's go drive

around Dallas, check out the area

and then let's go check out some great properties.

How does that sound?

- Let's do it.

(upbeat music)

- Here we are at one of our investment properties

in Lancaster, Texas which is just south of Dallas.

It's about a 15 minute ride

into the central business district.

This is one of our recently completed homes.

We do a lot of homes like this here in Dallas.

It's a standard three bed two bath

just over 2,000 square feet.

This property was built in 2003 so it's generally

a newer built home.

The sales price on this home, it's already under contract.

These properties do move very quickly here in Dallas

on my acquisition side and on my sell side.

Once we get these homes

under American Real Estate Investments' ownership

we're already marketing them to our clients

and they're basically getting contracts in

and just waiting for the renovation to be done

so it's move in ready for a tenant.

But this home here will rent for 1550

and the net operating income per month

is just under $1000 at 985 so really really solid.

If you look at the neighborhood here Keith

I mean this is a really solid A class neighborhood.

You see a lot of newer built properties here.

It looks like people are taking care of their lawns.

You can tell this isn't just

a heavily renter type neighborhood,

you know investor owned neighborhood.

There's owner occupants in these neighborhoods as well.

That's where we really like to strategically buy.

That way we just feel like the investment ends up being

a lot safer for our investors.

The exit strategy is there, solid exit strategy.

You could easily sell any one of these homes on the MOS.

So that's why we really like to target neighborhoods

just like this.

- [Voiceover] Just tell us a little bit

about the renovations that were done in here.

- Yeah so pretty much a full cosmetic overhaul

on this property and that's what we're doing generally

with the newer built homes that we're getting.

Obviously this house was built in 2003.

You know there is no need to replace the roof

on this property, nothing structurally wrong with the home

so this property here obviously had a full cosmetic overhaul

which was paint, flooring.

If you look all the light fixtures, the fans,

everything is brand new.

- And it matches.

- Exactly, we want everything to match everything.

When a tenant comes in this house,

a perspective tenant we want them to kind of be wowed

like oh my gosh, everything's new everything looks good.

This way we can get the property leased quickly.

We can get it leased at top of market value,

obviously we want to command as much rent as we can

for our owners so the cash flow increases.

Yeah we do this epoxy coating on our kitchen counters.

Sometimes we'll buy our houses there's granite already

in place obviously we're going to leave that

but we're not necessarily going to put granite

in a rental property, it's a rental.

We want it to look nice but we don't want

to put in too many expensive high end finishes, right.

So we have a different color scheme that we'll use here

with this epoxy finish which kind of makes it

give it a feel of like a granite

but obviously not expensive like granite.

We did put carpet in the bedrooms.

You know the tenants do kind of like to have carpet

in the bedrooms they kind of prefer that.

We do like to use the plank when we can.

A majority of the plank because that stuff will

withstand more turnovers, right.

It's just a little more durable.

Carpet can tend to get dirty from time to time

and might only last two to three turnovers right at most.

(upbeat music)

We're in Seagoville right now which is actually

just east of where we were and southeast

to the city of Dallas.

We're a little bit farther out from the city.

I would say it's about 20 to 25 minute drive

into the city from here.

This is another kind of style of home

that we do here in Dallas.

- [Voiceover] You know the thing finds us here

in a place like Seagoville, Texas here

just southeast of the city center of Dallas.

You know that's because often times right

the inner city of Dallas is where we kind

of have that class D or low end C property.

- [Voiceover] Right.

- Where we just can't really even get a tenant

that will reliably pay the rent

and then also we don't want to go north of Dallas

because we're also on the other end there

right as I've found out from our visit here

because you might get the same rent amount

that you do in some of those homes

but the purchase prices extend to a much higher extent

such that it's not consonance anymore

like a property in Seagoville does.

- Exactly exactly so yeah we try and avoid the inner city

neighborhoods around the US.

It's just you're dealing with more distressed properties.

You're dealing with lower income earning tenants

which generally can set you up for a higher risk profile

and then also you're not going to have a professional

management company like in American Real PM

that's going to be willing to manage homes

and tenants like that and great point to touch on,

why we don't purchase in areas in the north like

if people are doing their research on Dallas

Plano's going to be an area that comes up in conversation

as a really really booming economy right now.

Lot of fortune 500 companies moving into that area.

Problem is just the property values up there are

just too high which also makes the property taxes higher

which can really negatively effect cash flow

but then also you know a 2,000 square foot home

in Plano or Frisco really doesn't rent for that much more

than a 2,000 square foot home in a Lancaster,

a Cedar Hill, a Seagoville, it's really quite funny

but that is the truth.

(upbeat music)

I really appreciate you coming out again.

Coming and checking out American Real Estate Investments,

staying a couple of days with us in Dallas.

I just kind of want to wrap things up

and just you know get your 10,000 foot view

on what you've seen here in Dallas

during your stay, what was your initial impression

of the market, and how do you feel

about the market as a whole?

- Yeah well it really starts with the market

and the market is really why we are here in Dallas today

standing with each other right now

so you know you're seeing a lot

of business friendly tax incentives

that continue to bring substantial fortune 500 companies

that continue to bring jobs and tenants

to provide durable streams of income for investors.

So besides the business friendly tax incentives

we have a very low cost of living and that's really

attracting both businesses and residents alike.

We also have a very central location in the United States

and that's really preferable to do business

as more and more companies do business across borders

and outside of time zones.

- Absolutely I mean that's why we moved

the company down here, that's why we've been in this market

since 2012 so great points that you brought up

and let's just take that into the actually investment

property itself, you know A class properties,

generally newer built homes.

What did you think, what was your impression

of the homes when you walked through them today.

Did you think they were high quality, you know

durable investment properties,

something that an investor isn't going

to have a ton of maintenance issues

or high capital expenditures

within the first five years of ownership.

- Yeah we have substantial renovations to the property

and I think the other thing that's really a market

differentiator in Dallas Fort Worth is

you typically have newer stock here, you know

a lot of these homes were built in the last 20 years or less

so you really have the type of home that's not going

to have nearly as many of the functional obsolescence

problems that you might have with some properties

in other markets.

You know and we're really seeing

an adequately staffed company that's really communicative

and really good on the outreach you know

for example you invited me down here

and you guys were also really good in your outreach

too as far as being transparent and attending events

and making yourselves very accessible

just like you did with me today.

- Absolutely, well I appreciate the kind words Keith

and we appreciate you coming down

and hey look forward to bringing you down again next time.

- Oh it's been a great trip thanks so much.

- Thank you.
