Waching daily May 30 2017

Ubisoft has now revealed what's next for the Far Cry franchise.

Rather than opting for another spin-off, like Far Cry Primal and Far Cry Blood Dragon before

it, the 2018 release will be a fully numbered installment.

Far Cry 5 will whisk players away to modern day Montana, with the objective of taking

down the Seed family and the mad cult that follows them.

We got a chance to watch an official first-look presentation, and also interview Ubisoft in

an attempt to get more juicy Far Cry 5 details.

This is Mack, for PlayStation LifeStyle, here with the Top 5 Far Cry 5 Features We're

Most Hyped For.

For many players, the main attraction when it comes to a Far Cry game is the huge open

world, in which you can explore the land, hunt animals, take down outposts, and just

go crazy against the local militia.

What puts a downer on things, is when parts of the world are locked off until certain

story missions have been completed.

In Far Cry 5, you'll have the freedom to explore the whole map from the very start.

Want to ignore the story and go off creating your own adventure?

Well now you can.

Go anywhere, at any time!

This time around, players will be able to create their own custom character, picking

between a man or a woman, and choosing a skin color.

Beyond that, the amount of customization isn't known, but after learning that being able

to play as a woman was almost an option in Far Cry 4, we're happy to now see it available

in Far Cry 5.

I've not been a big fan of the recent Far Cry protagonists, so I'm very much up for

customizing my own.

One thing that Far Cry Primal got right was the ability to tame wild animals and have

them fight alongside you.

This makes a return in Far Cry 5.

It's a system called "Fangs for Hire" and allows you to take control of various

specialized animals.

Fancy teaming up with a bear to ravage an outpost, well you can certainly do that.

Though there are very few details about what Far Cry 5's Map Editor is comprised of,

we're still super happy to see its return.

The Far Cry community always surprises us with their level of imagination and creativity,

and with the new features the Far Cry 5 editor is implementing, we can't wait to see what

everyone comes up with.

The official word is that the Map Editor will allow players to "create and play an infinite

amount of new playgrounds" and that the new features will "add a new dimension."

Though the Far Cry solo experience has always been a solid one, it's the cooperative elements

that stand out as my most memorable moments with the franchise.

Two players make for twice the fun!

What's great about Far Cry 5 is that the entire campaign is available to play in online

co-op.

This is a big step forward, as in Far Cry 4, you could only do side missions with a

pal.

And while the side missions are cool and all, they aren't as fun as the main campaign.

In Far Cry 5, we get to play through the (hopefully) fantastic campaign with a friend!

Good stuff!

And so those are the Top 5 Far Cry 5 Features We're Most Hyped For.

How to paint a Tree in Acrylic for Beginners step by step - Duration: 40:03.

Hi everybody I'm Cinnamon

Cooney you'r Art Sherpa.

And today I'm so excited to

share with you how you can

paint this tree today.

All you got to do is;

Get your paint get your brushes

come back and meet me at the

easel right now.

I'm going to show you step by

step how to do it.

Come on let's go.

Let me share with you the

materials we're going to be

using today to get this great

tree done.

I have an 11 by 14 canvas

board this is pre gessoed and

ready to paint.

You don't need to do another

thing to it over

here I have acrylic paint.

I have the colors Mars Black,

Phalo Blue,

Quinacridone Magenta,

Phalo Green,

Yellow Ochre,

Burnt Sienna, and Titanium

White. Assorted brushes for

acrylic painting.

These are all synthetic

filaments and of course a jar

of water and the first thing

I am going to do is I'm going

to take this number four round

and I'm going to start

sketching in my tree.

Now listen if drawing

sketching is not your bag

and you're not into it yet.

Don't worry. On my web site I

have a traceable so you don't

have to you know concern

yourself with doing that if

you're ready to paint.

But I'm dipping in water again

just to improve the focus my

paints been drying at my

studio.

If you're not ready to start

that at this time.

So I have this number for round

right. This is by Roussillon

and I like this because it

keeps a really nice shirt

quaint and is super

resilient against acrylic

paint.

I'm coming over here from the

lower left and I'm going to

wander up.

The story of a tree.

Now I think it's important to

realize that trees are

different to paint

in many other things because we

have such strong feelings about

them.

I'm coming over here and I'm

going to do a little curve here

Monnick curve up and launderer.

Range.

And curving up.

I'm laying.

And I'm wandering around

them and I come back.

I'm telling the story of clouds

in winters and weather

and I'm going in the branch

right here.

This is the main trunk.

Now it's important for me to

set the main trunk.

I'm going to get a little water

here. You'll notice a dip in

and take off a little bit of

the extra.

I'm just trying to moisten the

brush but not soak it.

Someone come over here and I

want to tell a really really

interesting story of this tree

so I'm going to bring a little

curve here some curving

around and I'm following

the thickness of my trunk

as I go up.

I'm going to taper and because

his trees grow up in general.

They get finer.

And twig here.

And you want to make sure that

you do that as well.

Once I have this basis I'm

going to come right here in the

middle of the trunk and I'm

going to put in something

interesting because what makes

a tree interesting is all the

character it's the knots and

the that time it went without

enough water and it got a

little bit naughtier and

you know is sort of interesting

and a wander a weird little

root here kind of coming over.

That's an interesting part of

the story. Tell great stories

with your trees.

Now below this not

going to wander off a branch

it's going to bend down.

Against its weight and then

it's going to struggle and come

back up and sort of level out.

It must be

thinner than the trunk that

it's attached to.

That's really what you're

trying to remember is to keep.

Your tree when you're when

you're painting it in thinner

than the trunk it's attached

to. I'm using just a mix

of burnt sienna black here this

is my dark value in my tree.

Because this is an old

weathered tree I'm going to

want to have a lot of knots and

shadows and I'm just using

this round brush to sketch in.

I'm going to come back.

I just was improving the

fluidity my pain adding a

little water. I'm on the tip of

the brush and I'm going to

wander out on this tip.

Making some weird Wiggles.

Now listen a lot of these

Twiggy bits.

They're going to disappear

under.

The the branches and leaves

and things that are happening.

But sometimes putting in the

bones of a tree will help

you build out its foliage.

It's a weird deal but it really

works both

this not in cannot

come out and tell another

little branch story it's going

to wander out over here to the

right.

I'm pressing very lightly

on the tip of my brush when I'm

working with around.

It's about brush pressure.

And lightening up when I want

to lighten my line and I'm just

on the tip of just a few little

bristles.

Again I know that I have to

make sand or branches in.

My trunk and I'm going to

actively do that.

Each one thinning out.

Coming out saying No wonder

some out here.

Again much of this may be lost

to the leaves that I will be

putting on the tree but that's

OK because I'm quitting in my

skeletal structure my

architecture of my tree.

One more little branch needs I

think to come here really.

Obviously it's going to wander

up come back.

Yeah it's an interesting little

fellow.

Each branch should be

interesting.

And kind of have its own little

narrative rate its own little

space because you're going to

have to put structural

beautiful clouds of leaves off

of these. So having a feeling

about it will help you know a

lot of people want to line

up their branches and make

this very symmetrical.

But I would suggest to you

you think about the way things

twist and grow and move with

the sun move your branch

up the trunk a little bit

before wandering in out.

And have it tell a slightly

different story.

Then this branch over here.

Thick in and out this one might

be a little bit thicker than.

The other side where he says

all we're doing.

We'll a little more brown here.

Telling these light.

So get a little clump of paint

there. I want this to flow off

my brush while some of this

world is around.

And I'm pick up that fluid bit

right there.

Right.

Now I'm going to get a position

on my brush where I have

strength in my in my

angle where I can pull the

stroke out.

And feel like it's going well.

And also I want to kind of pull

a little branch down here

because I want there to be.

A little character like this

and I'm going to sweep this

down.

A little bit and taper it out

because I want this to be much

longer than everything around

it.

I'm going to roll my brush this

is offloading and load the tip

back up again with this more.

Fluid paint. And why come over

here.

And when to make a point of not

lining these branches up

because you don't want to line

them up.

Mount until a little bit the

story. I don't need to make

every line connect.

I just need to tell little.

Little bits of information.

To the viewer.

Because you have to leave room.

For the viewer in your tree.

I'm going to come here and did

not smoke pick off the extra.

Swirl around.

It.

Swirl around so that spinning

that heavy body paint if

you're painting a

pro paint.

Lens and it's heavy body.

So.

I have to thin it to get this

nice fluid effect.

But I don't want to thin it too

much.

Too much water because that's

not good for.

Meant want to just continue.

I don't want to take the tree

totally off my page.

So I'm going to make sure that

my branches are.

Here to remind myself that

there's something happening but

that I will be paying a lot of

this out.

Come in and.

Kind of talk about the trunk a

little bit.

As I'm going.

Fun stuff.

I want to make sure that the

knot is darker.

Than the surrounding wood so I

can not lose where it is the

not so very important part of

the tree.

The best trees.

Have lots of personality don't

they.

Have initials carved in them in

and knots in them and weird

bends along the way.

Where the wind has shaped

them and life is shaped them.

Best people to.

Have all those character bits.

No hedges out here.

On the top of this hill Orient.

So I'm bringing this down.

Now when I get here.

Right.

Go ahead and take some of this

land out this way.

And paint this out here.

Get a little darker with my

paint at the bottom here.

It just grabs more black and

I'm going to.

Work this little not even out.

Coming here on the under side

with more black.

Just working that out.

And teeny tiny bit.

In. My brush.

Wipe it off and let's start

putting in a story.

So one of the stories I want to

start putting in is a slightly.

Quaid Brown

kind of space might get a

little of my white over here.

And I whether this trunk.

Ash it out a little bit with

white.

Now my common start.

Creating.

Little rises in low lights.

Of where the trunk is and so

I'm coming and twisting the

strokes around showing the

twist of the wood.

The beginnings of the twist of

the wood.

Will warm brown.

You know make sure I have some

twists of the wood here.

Twist the wood along here.

No one sits out and I'm going

to switch.

To one of my favorite brushes.

This.

Is a Number one you can do.

Number two. Number one bright

what you want is a small

bright.

And we're going to come in here

and get some chust black.

And I want to come to the top

of this little ridge of the

tree and pull in a shadow here.

And take this like little

shadow along the trunk.

Let's pull up some

twists in the wood that are

deep shadow along here.

Along the bottom side.

Maybe another little deep twist

right here.

See how it's starting to.

Come. An.

Ancient and wide tree.

Another little deep shadow

here.

Give the trunk some

personality.

And you can bring one here.

It's quite dark here so we're

good.

I want to make sure that

there's.

Lots of character to the wood.

Now as I get up here I know I'm

going to paint out the huge

amount of what I have to wipe

off my block but not rinse it

off and just get some of my

brown.

Now I'm coming up on this.

Just adding that.

To what I have.

Creating layers.

Of bark.

Get a little more in this rain.

Sort of Bernstine and sounds

popping there.

Just dashing this here and

there.

You get better trees today.

Sometimes it's hard to know

what all is involved.

And painting a tree isn't it.

Sometimes it's put a little

of this.

Reddish brown.

The top of this branch

wandering.

You read the top of this not

here on this route we still

want this to be fairly dark and

in shadow.

It's come to the top of this

branch.

So my light source is really

going to be coming from up

above and down in even if

I'm painting this trunk I need

to be thinking about that.

Where the light might be

hitting elements of it.

And adding those now.

Before my leaves go in an arena

out my brush a bit

and I'm going to grab a little

of my yellow ochre and a smidge

of my black.

And I'm just grazing the shell.

OK. So this is a weathered

tree.

Some swirling around here at

the outside edge and to keep

this from crawling up my brush

I'm rolling it out.

And it's grab a little white.

So it's weathered.

That's common. And some

weathering.

To highlight right here.

Like a little story here.

Definitely have some light

there wouldn't we.

Well that's nice.

Just weather that out.

Maybe a little bit here.

OK. It's picking up paint

underneath it.

Be ok with that.

Are you OK with that happening.

When they come here and an.

A little highlight around my.

All there in.

Why branch.

Maybe a little bit to this

outside right edge.

Telling a little of this story

here.

Here at the.

Arc of this could be a nice

place.

Just catch where you think

there's highlights.

Right here.

Right here.

Thinking about.

These barks that we've got.

The thing that's looking pretty

darn good.

You know come in and make sure

that your.

Want that to be quite dark.

You grab some mail or hair and

make sure that.

I think that's great.

Now we get to get into the fun

color.

Men Arends get out.

Wipe it off to the side.

And I'm going to grab.

A number six.

Number six bright.

I'm going to I'm going to move.

Came in to some cleaner water

because I want bright bright

colors.

And I'm going to come here.

And I'm going to actually add

some code yellow.

To my mix here.

And then add some kad yellow.

And add this to my green.

One to tell a little story

under the tree.

So let's.

Lay a little grass.

The right tree.

When I have that bright yellow

in.

I'm going to take a little of

my green over to my blue.

When I come right under the

tree.

With this darker color because

this would all have a bit of a

shadow wouldn't it.

Pull some light in the dark

together.

Calling these little brush

strokes of grass.

Into the blue.

You realize that they're.

Not nice.

Are just open expressive

little strips.

Where you think you might have

some grass.

Some.

Up.

On the edge.

That you one little.

Just a little bit here.

To show that this is deeply

seated in the world it's in

some just plume a dark canary

there.

MEGO right back into Maiello.

Right back into my yellow.

Right here.

Little brushstrokes.

Little brush strokes.

And then out and see how he

just very quickly.

Have a very multi

dimensional area Princie

that out way far into the

dirty wire that I have.

Wipe this off.

When it come over.

And then I'll take a little

Mike Winokur down here.

Over to my fellow blue.

And I'm going to put it in the

dark shadows of my tree.

So I mix this nice purple.

Little water to show it.

Lemme come here and I'm going

to put in some spots.

This is number six Borate.

I'm going to work the corner.

And I'm going to make.

You sort of a little brush

strokes.

As it comes out here and might

even open that up pretty.

This is my darkest value.

Maybe a couple here.

My darkest value in this space.

Going to fill this in

carefully.

OK if a couple.

Leaves cross the branch

you want to add balance out so

what you want.

Is to make sure that there's

room for birds to fly through.

Or squirrels to be there.

You don't want to over.

Leaf your tree so no light

can shine through. So even in

the shadows you start thinking

about those things.

This is the deep value of your

tree.

Marion.

Wayne she definitely.

Had that de-value right there.

Calf won some of those leaves

come down here.

See now we have a little of the

branches sort of.

Peeking out.

And we're painting the shape of

the tree.

I'm not trying to paint every

leaf on the tree.

I'm trying to paint the form of

the tree.

And the overall shape of the

tree.

When you're looking at trees

think about it's shape first

more than it's individual

components.

That's something that can mess

you up when you start up

painting because as a new

artist you'll be thinking about

the individual components

more.

Than the light shadow and shape

that you're looking at.

When maybe leave a little space

there.

Again some of these branches

are more about the

architecture.

Than the branch.

And that can be you know a

little frustrating when you're

a new artist but I like to use

them to think about.

How the tree is built.

Now up here at the top

I don't have very much shadow

because this part of the tree

is really in light.

So when you just do a couple

little spots.

Of Shadow.

That we might see.

But not as many.

You mean like right here.

Right here in the center.

It.

Might be more in shadow.

Open that up.

That would be.

Let's get a little of this.

We'll start working the other

side.

One more in shadow maybe a

little shadow here.

Because that's deep in the tree

isn't it.

Just painting around this you

could paint this all in.

First if you went into the

order of how he paint things.

Impacts our result.

Here we go putting in those

deep shadows already the trees.

Interesting isn't it.

Let's put in some more over

here.

That's a little more purple.

Elm or connect to the.

You know a little bit right

there.

Pudding. In this part.

Shadow here.

Crosses over maybe a little bit

back there.

Working on shadows in my tree.

Lots of different ways to do

this and we'll look at some of

them. How are you doing.

We're nearly done.

Believe it or not.

For all the fun part.

From here.

That's where that little branch

goes isn't it.

It's structure for it.

White Kli that there's a fine

little bit of something or a

hair.

Maybe even a little bit of

something.

Right here from a branch that.

Is once you have the bones and

then you can start playing with

what you're saying.

Someone who rents out my brush

really really really really

really really really well.

And I'm going to start working

my next values up.

And so this is where paintings

come together in acrylic

painting. Everything has kind

of an awkward stage.

And your job is to hang in

through your awkward stage and

keep building the layers until

like that last 30 percent when

it all comes together and

you're like wow.

Totally pain free.

All right.

Ex-parte.

Some may get my water.

Drag off my extra.

Come here it's OK

if there's a little bit of the

blue I just want this to still

be more pink and I'm going

to get a smidge of white

into it. This is my next value

up.

My next value up.

Right. And I'm going to come

here with this connector down

bright pink.

And I know where my light is

coming down like this.

So let's.

Have some leaves.

On this tree we want to leave

chateaus don't want to take

away all your shadow.

Shadow defines what we have in

our world.

But you do definitely.

Want to talk about the

highlights.

I'm still just on the corner of

this brush.

You know a couple of leaves

here.

You can have a couple that's

top down there.

Maybe. Some of them.

Or blowing in a different

direction in the wind.

Not ok.

Just like letting a little of

the blue still set in it.

And of course some of it's

going to pick up from

underneath.

Layering over a couple of

leaves.

Still letting a lot of light

shine through. Even as I layer

this up.

You're still white and then you

can see that the shadow is

making everything form.

Just a little more hair.

Failing that an.

Having some fine.

Dabbing this out.

Taking us into the sunlight.

Now let's say that this is sort

of a different branch and.

It's layered here and it's.

Thinking about how it's coming

out into the world.

Super fun stuff that's more

current round if you get a

little more current ground

that's OK.

Well haveour that's OK.

Well your way.

I'm not really lightening

lightning lightning the pink

yet because just not

that time at the moment.

If you need some more water

because the pain is gummy

sometimes if you're in a very

dry condition like I am

the paint will start to dry

on your palate.

And that's OK. Got to lighten

it up.

Keep making these little corner

dashes.

Don't take away all your

shadows.

So that's what's going to give

your tree shape.

Going.

That's.

So for you sometimes painting

out things that you put in will

really stress you out.

Just remember.

We're supposed to only see

little implications of these

branches. This is a healthy

tree. It has.

The horns of leaves.

So.

Just keep having those

out as I'm coming over here

and might start curving the

brush strokes a little bit.

Pressing them out I'm trying to

not make lollipops

I'm trying to tell stories with

character.

So that's what I'm avoiding.

Definitely want lots and lots

and lots and lots of leaves.

The top kaching son.

And.

Telling stories.

Catching some.

Couple of these leaves pop here

and.

They're still layering and

letting some of the trunked

show.

See how we go we just layer the

pain is not just looking

beautiful I love it when it

starts to come together he

loving it and they get a little

more moisture and my brush.

Some dipping and then the

thing about synthetic bristles

is that they don't over

moisten.

So it doesn't

you know cause me trouble and

having too much water in my

pain. Too much water and my

pain it gets runny gets thin

doesn't really cover it doesn't

stick to the painting can

get real frustrating.

Just keep adding some of this

maybe a little white back into

the mix again.

Connected on is a fairly

transparent color so

sometimes.

You know you can find it's.

Challenging to get coverage.

So rich and beautiful.

I love to use it.

You've got this.

Right.

Just the top here.

Just were done better at a tree

today aren't we.

Than we did yesterday.

That's the goal.

Paint better today.

What we did yesterday better

tomorrow.

Day before.

We don't have to beat

everything all the time.

That Khatri were constantly

growing.

Going to add a little highlight

here keeping my low lights in

this delightful branch see I'm

keeping the shadows him holding

some shadows.

Because if I don't it will stop

having shape if I paint at all

my shadow.

Stops having a shape.

Just letting things blend on

the canvas and come on here

and the next really important

layer is going to really start

to pop. All of this and bring

it all together so I might put

out a little more quiet or down

and I may do it closer to

my on my way because I'm going

to start doing some really

interesting color things here

creating a lot of

dimensionality and whimsy.

While I still have pink come my

brush them and grab a little

white. I would do some.

Cool. I'm going to drop just a

few puddles on the ground.

When ever you're painting

something colorful.

In the Life'll is sure an.

Integrate those colors around

you Kamis non-friends out

just mostly so I can start to

reload.

Everything is pretty easy

to work here on out.

So the next color in a Pops

places take a little of my cat

yellow and a little my

Kronecker down.

I want it to be more

to the red than the yellow.

Maybe a little white to it.

There you go.

I'm going to just a couple of

places.

Quit this warm or color.

This would be like where really

direct light is maybe

hitting everything.

I want to have some here.

Say that there's some light

traveling.

Back into the space.

And it's OK to play with that

great. It's OK to be playful.

Think about things.

I have a.

Reference painting that I.

Usually do a test before I do

this and so I'm just.

Looking back at that making

sure I'm.

Remembering what my plan is.

I'm taking this little bright

highlight out here the edge.

Let's see how that's adding

something.

To a couple here.

And some.

Way if it's having trouble

popping.

Fuel pieces here.

Really really want to avoid

taking out my.

Low lights though.

Some of those all around the

tops. This is really in the

sun.

Keep going you've got it you're

almost done one more.

Little later after this.

You've got this.

Haven't put this everywhere.

No I'm just kissing couple

spots because I'm really

talking about a particular

type of light dappled that

can happen.

When there are inset out.

We've really almost painted

this amazing tree or you just

like wait till the next layer

it's going to just completely

work for you.

All right. Now I have this way

hermitic just a smidge.

Well my Kronecker down over to

my white.

Is going to make a very

light pink.

And I'm going to come up to the

top of my tree.

With this very light pink.

And having these little

clusters.

Where the light is.

Hitting that's the shape of the

tree right. Because we're

painting a shape.

There's some.

Light and it's.

Catching the top of the

branches and.

That's fine.

Catches the top and that starts

to give dimensionality.

To what we're looking at

doesn't it.

As we build that up this

delightful tree.

Built that up.

You of either yellow because

that was your pop of color that

was your color.

Just to light the brain

and.

It's ok to be playful in

in things it's ok to.

Do the unexpected in your

paintings.

It's maybe your tree is pink

and. Purple and yellow.

A lot of.

I. Laid

out here.

Wore pink.

Freshly

minted out here.

Just

finding those highlights.

How's that looking.

That is really working.

Let's keep going.

It's. Not fine.

It's

just fun to paint.

Trees.

Is just fun.

To paint in general.

Actually.

That's that's all this has to

be is.

Just fun.

I mean these highlights I

definitely want to this little

branch. Oh it's got some blue

some more rinse out but that's

not bad.

That's not a bad thing.

I just want it to be more pink

in this area.

What some.

Need. Right there.

Even some of these little.

Leaves cross and.

Do some interesting things.

Top of this.

Is thinking about the top of

this branch.

So that's what you're thinking

about you're thinking about the

top of each branch.

Where's the light.

Is more this.

Darker pink in.

Keep telling this story up

here.

Well always looking to.

Finish the tale or Right.

Where's the tail. How can we

finish the tale.

Having fun dashing those

around.

Getting more weight.

Chest.

Finding the shape that pleases

me.

Making sure I'm happy.

With the branches that I'm.

Seeing.

It's always good to just step

back in.

And look at what you have and

go how do I feel about that how

do you feel about that.

I think I could use just one

more interesting little thing.

And I think it's worth doing.

Rinse out your brush really

really well.

Monograph. Just a little

yellow.

Just.

While it's also wet.

Out a little of it.

Couple places.

Is just super colorful.

Now we're doing we're thinking

about these branches.

Catching light.

You can even add weight to your

yellow if you want.

A little light right here.

The contrast.

In the complementary colors.

Make it really exciting

I think to the.

So when you paint with a lot of

color like I like to really.

Use a lot of color when I

paint.

It's fun for me.

To. Grab. A little white there.

And just enjoy.

Home I get goodness this was

such a fun fanciful

little project right.

Maybe a little right there.

I'm just looking.

For what seems empty.

My brain is constantly speaking

to me and saying it seems empty

here seems empty there but

I'm really imagining the light

landing.

The last thing that I get to do

one of the best parts of when I

get to do is to sign the piece

I'm going to grab a little

signature brush.

This is a small little detail

around right here.

And I'm going to just.

Grab a little of my black paint

and come over to the side.

And just do a nice little

signature.

And have it be like the last

stroke that's happening there.

Well that was a lot of fun and

I so enjoyed spending this time

with you I hope you're really

surprised the tree you were

able to paint today and I

hope we're going to pay a lot

more trees be good to

yourselves be good to each

other.

Go out and keep watching the

videos because they're awesome.

And I want to see you at the

easel really soon but by

Five goals for Republicans this summer - Duration: 7:34.

Five goals for Republicans this summer

BY CRISTINA MARCOS

Republicans are running out of time to make major legislative achievements before they

break for their August recess � and President Trump�s 200th day in office later that month.

Congress will be in session for just 31 legislative days between now and the end of July, when

the five-week recess begins.

Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have both put

more of an emphasis on the 200-day mark than Trump�s first 100 days.

The two want to show that Republican control of Washington is a status quo the voters should

support as they make their case for next year�s midterms.

There�s still time for Republicans to make some gains.

Here are five areas where the GOP will look for progress this summer

Adopting a budget

Republicans frequently blasted Democrats when they controlled Congress for going years without

adopting a budget.

Then they were unable to adopt a budget last year due to internal divisions about cutting

spending, though the inaction didn�t hurt the GOP legislative agenda.

This time, failing to adopt a budget would imperil GOP hopes for passing tax reform through

special budget rules that would prevent a Democratic filibuster.

Without a budget, in other words, the GOP may have to forget about a broad tax overhaul,

a longtime dream of Ryan�s.

Figuring out a budget for next year will also have consequences for keeping the government

funded after September.

Some Republicans want a bipartisan budget deal similar to those hammered out over the

past four years, that would establish top-line spending levels for appropriations bills and

raise the debt limit at the same time.

�We need that kind of agreement to provide budgetary stability,� said Rep. Charlie

Dent (R-Pa.), a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee.

Raising the debt limit

Top Trump administration officials told Congress this week that lawmakers may have to approve

a debt ceiling increase sooner than expected.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin urged lawmakers to pass a �clean� debt ceiling hike with

no strings attached before leaving for the summer break.

�I think it�s absolutely important that this is passed before the August recess and

the sooner the better,� Mnuchin said before the House Ways and Means Committee.

Conservative groups want to tie spending restrictions to a debt bill.

The conservative House Freedom Caucus announced this week that they would demand any debt

hike be paired with spending cuts.

Striking a bipartisan deal to avoid a bruising debt limit fight would let GOP leaders demonstrate

they can govern responsibly, as they did with the four-month spending package earlier this

month.

But a wide-ranging budget and debt limit deal would be a disappointment for conservatives

hoping to get policy wins under unified GOP control of government.

�My concerns with the past years is that in a bipartisan fashion we�ve been kicking

the road and adding to the debt substantially.

That�s my concern with the past years.

Going forward, when you win the House and the Senate and the White House, and you�re

the small-government party, that�s my concern,� said Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.), a Freedom Caucus

member.

Avoid a government shutdown

Congress is far behind where it normally is at this stage of the year in the annual appropriations

process.

The House will enter June without having approved a single appropriations bill, and appropriators

concede that there�s no time to pass each individual spending bill given other priorities.

�We can get the bills ready to get all 12 bills out of committee.

The real question is, do you have the time to do them on the floor?

Probably not.

So you're going to have 'minibuses' or an omnibus,� Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) told reporters.

At a minimum, Republicans need to show that at a minimum they can keep the lights on while

controlling Congress and the White House.

Government funding won�t run out until the end of September, but the GOP will want to

start putting together a plan this summer.

In frustration over accepting this month�s spending compromise, President Trump called

for a �good shutdown� in September to fix the �mess� in Washington.

But most Republicans in Congress want to avoid such a situation, believing they and Trump

would get the blame for a shutdown.

Tax reform

Republicans can�t move a 2018 budget, which they need for tax reform, until they finish

work on a fiscal 2017 budget needed to repeal ObamaCare.

That means a tax reform vote in either chamber is still a long way off.

But Republicans are eager to get moving.

The border adjustment tax proposal pushed by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to tax imports

and exempt exports is withering in the face of opposition from conservative groups, retailers

and fellow Republicans who warn it would increase prices on consumer goods.

Yet Republicans need to find some other way to pay for their tax reform proposal if they

don�t want to add to the deficit.

�The border adjustable piece, I wish they would whip that to find out what the sense

is.

And if you don�t have the votes on it, then you got a trillion dollar hole that you gotta

fill.

And there�s ways to do that linked to the budget,� Brat said.

Healthcare

In the Senate, the GOP�s goal is to finish work on legislation repealing and replacing

ObamaCare by the August recess.

Whether they can do it is anyone�s guess.

There are severe differences among Republican senators over how to move forward, and McConnell

has been careful about setting expectations.

GOP senators distanced themselves from a Congressional Budget Office analysis this week that predicted

23 million people would lose insurance over the next decade under the House bill.

It also projected higher costs for older and sicker people.

Senate GOP staff will be drafting legislation during the Memorial Day recess, with a discussion

draft possibly circulating when senators return.

There�s an added reason for the Senate GOP to move quickly.

It is using the same budget reconciliation rules to avoid a Democratic filibuster on

healthcare that it intends to use on tax reform.

But it�s unclear how long the reconciliation vehicle for the healthcare bill will last.

The reconciliation measure is for fiscal year 2017, and Committee for a Responsible Federal

Budget senior advisor Ed Lorenzen noted that the Senate parliamentarian has not yet ruled

if reconciliation instructions expire at the end of the fiscal year in September.

If the parliamentarian were to rule the 2017 vehicle expires in September, Republicans

would have to either pass the healthcare measure quickly or try to move a bill the old-fashioned

way with Democratic votes.

The Amazing Things Raw Potatoes Can Do for Your Health - Duration: 3:29.

The Amazing Things Raw Potatoes Can Do for Your Health.

This vegetable is packed with nutrients such as potassium, thiamin and niacin as well as

vitamin C, making them an ideal part of a healthy diet. Raw potatoes are excellent remedies

for a number of common health issues.

The Amazing Things Raw Potatoes Can Do for Your Health.

For a long time, potato juice has been used as a remedy for a wide array of ailments from

skin disorders to constipation, inflammation, stomach or liver problems, and even cancer.

Legend says that during the First World War a group of starving German soldiers were restricted

to an exclusive diet of raw potatoes. The results were amazing: soldiers suffering from

gastric problems healed miraculously. After the war, the physician J. F. Magerl

started to treat patients suffering from gastric problems with raw potato juice. After 10 days

of treatment, the symptoms subsided in the majority of his patients .

Whether this story is an urban legend or not, one thing is sure: raw potato juice is an

excellent natural remedy.

Some key health benefits of potato juice include:

Digestion and gastritis – Regular consumption of potato juice can improve digestive function

and thwart ailments like constipation, diarrhea, bloating, and indigestion and protects the

body from more serious conditions like colorectal cancer.

Peel 1 to 2 raw potatoes and grate them. Put the grated potatoes on a strainer and press

with a spoon to extract the juice. Dilute 1/2 glass of potato juice with a little warm

water. Drink it 3 times a day, 30 minutes before each meal, for at least 1 to 2 weeks.

Rheumatism and arthritis – Raw potato juice may be used in treating rheumatism and arthritis.

The juice acts as a good anti-inflammatory and it dissolves excessive uric acid deposits

in the joints.

Cancer – Research at the Agricultural Research service has shown that potatoes contain a

compound called quercetin, which has been proven to have anti-cancer and anti-tumor

properties.

Cardiovascular disease – Healthy for the heart, potato juice can prevent artery blockage

and heart attacks.

Dark circles under the eyes – Dip cotton balls on potato juice. Put them under your

eyes every night before going to sleep.

Wrinkles – Keep wrinkles at bay by dabbing potato juice gently on the face everyday.

This also gives your skin a youthful glow.

Hair loss – Potato juice can be used to grow hair faster. To do this, mix it with

egg white and honey. Apply on your hair and let it stay there for two hours. Rinse off

with mild shampoo and water.

Important: Potato juice may be a great healer for your body, however it is advised not to

consume more than half a cup of it daily.

There is a Medicaid Toolkit for Self-Advocates - Duration: 8:02.

Hello and welcome to another edition of Tuesdays with Liz: Disability Policy for All.

Today I'm very excited to be interviewing my friend Julia Bascom, who is the Executive

Director of the Autistic Self Advocacy Network and also my friend.

ASANhas developed a toolkit about Medicaid and I am excited to talk to her about it.

So welcome, Julia.

Hi, thanks for having me.

I've wanted to be on Tuesdays with Liz for a really long time so this is exciting.The

first question is: Why did the Autistic Self Advocacy Network want to make a toolkit about

Medicaid for self advocates?

Sure.

So, ASAN, the Autistic Self Advocacy Network, is a self advocacy organization, so we represent

autistic adults and other people with disabilities and Medicaid is obviously really important

to a lot of people with disabilities and a lot of autistic people in particular and there's

obviously a lot of talk right now about Medicaid in policy and in the media and in Congress

and we think it's really important as a self advocacy organization that whenever disability

issues are being discussed that autistic people and people with disabilities are there having

that conversation and participating in that conversation.

Our motto is: Nothing about us without us.

Since Medicaid affects so many autistic people and people with disabilities we think that

self advocates need to be able to talk about Medicaid and participate in those conversations.

But a problem we run into a lot, not just with Medicaid, but Medicaid in particular,

is such a complicated program, that a lot of the materials that are out there that explain

what Medicaid is and how it works aren't really accessible to a lot of people and we think

that's a problem because it impacts our lives so we should be able to talk about it and

participate in that.

So what we wanted to do was to create an accessible toolkit that sort of laid out the basics of

Medicaid: What it is, how it works, why it's important.

And then self advocates could use that tool to learn about Medicaid and then to participate

in those conversations that are happening about Medicaid.

One of the things that's been particularly complicated in recent conversations about

Medicaid is that right now there are a lot of politicians who have motivations to say

things about Medicaid that aren't necessarily true.

And as a result, we want to make sure people have enough information that they can tell

when they're getting correct information versus when someone is saying something that isn't

true.

So we put together a toolkit so that people can really work it out for themselves.

Thank you, and actually that's why Tuesdays with Liz has been here, because we want to

make sure that nothing about us without us.

The next question is: Can you tell the audience about the toolkit and how to use it.

Sure.

So the toolkit is available in a couple of different forms.

We've got one version that's just one document that explains in sort of easy to understand

English what Medicaid is, how it works, how to tell whether or not you're on Medicaid.

It talks about some of the changes that have been suggested for Medicaid and what those

might mean.

Really all of the information you need to under what people are talking about right

now.

We have another version.

It's all the same information except it's broken up into chapters on specific topics,

so instead of having to read one big document you can read a shorter document about a specific

thing.

And then we have a third version that's those same shorter chapters but this time with a

lot more visuals, in case somebody learns better that way.

So you can sort of pick whichever way is best for you to learn and then you can decide if

you want to read the whole thing or if you want to jump from topic to topic depending

on what you're interested in or what you're curious about or what you need more information

about.

The toolkit covers...

I already said what it covers.

No, that's it.

That's the whole thing.Thank you, and that sounds so much more inclusive, that this is

for everyone, regardless if you can read or you can't or whatever.

There's something for everyone.

I really hope so.

Definitely.

We don't have an option that's like a video, which is why I was so excited to do Tuesdays

with Liz, but we have the information a couple different ways.

OK, thank you.

The last question is: What does the Autistic Self Advocacy Network want the community to

get out of this toolkit?

So I mean again I think we're in this situation where right now Congress is talking about

some pretty big changes to the Medicaid program and those changes would have a huge impact

on people with disabilities.

They're talking about cutting the Medicaid program by 25%.

The budget the President has suggested would cut the Medicaid program in half and that

means there's going to be a lot less services for people.

So it's really important right now that self advocates are out there sharing our stories

and talking to lawmakers about how Medicaid works and why it's so important.

Right now a lot of the people who are talking about these changes don't really know about

the changes themselves, don't really know about Medicaid, and so it's really our job

to go out there and really educate them and advocate and make them understand how these

changes could have on people.

So we would want people to obviously read the toolkit, get the information, understand

what's being talked about, and then use that language and use that understanding to go

and educate other people.

Whether that's other self advocates, whether that's your elected officials and new members

of Congress, whether that's people on the state or local level who are working on Medicaid,

this is really a time when everyone needs to be speaking out and everyone needs to be

having a voice in these conversations and we've noticed that self advocates often have

the smallest voice and there are a lot of different reasons for that but a big part

of that is because people don't feel like they know enough about the program or they

feel like everyone around them is using all of these big words and all of these acronyms

and they don't know how to participate so we're hoping this toolkit can give everyone

the information and confidence they need to step up and participate and to make themselves

heard.

Thank you.

And I'm sure that Tuesdays will also help with that too.

Thank and if you have any more questions about this or any other policy issues please got

to the AUCD webpage and look for this week's InBrief and if you have any questions or comments

Thanks and have a nice day.

Thanks, Julia.
