Mitch McConnell Trump Has Given Us The Best Year for Conservativ - Duration: 4:42.
Mitch McConnell Trump Has Given Us The Best Year for Conservatives in The 30 Years I�ve
Been Here
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell stated on Monday that President Donald Trump has
given conservatives their �best year� in the over 30 years he has served in Congress.
McConnell � who was first elected to the Senate in 1984, during the height of Ronald
Reagan�s tenure as commander in chief � told Fox News� Dana Perino people who are right
of center should be very encouraged by the results they are seeing in Washington D.C.
�2017 was the best year for conservatives in the 30 years that I�ve been here.
The best year.
On all fronts,� he said.
�And a lot of people are shocked because we didn�t know what we were getting with
Donald Trump,� the majority leader added.
�He was doing fundraisers for Chuck Schumer three or four years ago.
But this has turned out to be a very solid, conservative, right of center, pro-business
administration.
And we�re seeing the results of it,� said McConnell.
In an op-ed for Louisville�s Courier-Journal published on Monday, the Kentucky senator
listed some of 2017 accomplishments.
�In a once-in-a-generation effort, the Republican-led Congress passed comprehensive tax reform legislation
last year helping middle-class families, small businesses and workers keep more of their
hard-earned money,� McConnell wrote.
�In other words, we took money out of Washington�s pocket and put it back in the pockets of the
middle-class families who earned it.�
He went on to note the businesses turned around and shared the benefits of their lowered corporate
income tax with their employees in the form of bonuses, higher wages, and increased benefits.
According to a list compiled by Americans for Tax Reform, at least 3 million Americans
are already receiving special bonuses as a result of the �Tax Cuts and Jobs Act�
(2017) passed last month.
McConnell pointed out that �the historic tax law also repealed Obamacare�s unpopular
individual mandate tax, which disproportionally impacted low- and middle-income families by
forcing them to purchase health insurance plans they often didn�t want or couldn�t
afford.�
Other accomplishments highlighted by the senator included the confirmation of judges to the
federal bench, with a record 12 circuit judges in 2017, and the rollback of Obama-ear regulations
both through presidential and congressional action.
The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times credited the massive cut in red tape under
Trump in creating the current pro-growth business climate.
According to the Competitive Enterprise Institute, the Federal Register of rules and regulations
is at its lowest page count in a quarter-century.
The calendar year concluded with the register numbering 61,950 pages, down 35 percent from
the all-time record set during President Barack Obama�s final year of 95,894 pages.
The last time the register was at its current level was 1993.
As reported by The Western Journal, radio talk show host Mark Levin praised President
Donald Trump on his program last month, calling him �the most conservative president since
Ronald Reagan.�
Levin, who served in multiple positions in the Gipper�s administration, said, �If
you�re a Reagan conservative or a constitutional conservative � you have to be very, very
pleased right now.�
The conservative commentator pointed to Trump�s economic and national security policies, as
well as his appointment of constitutional conservative judges.
�(Trump�s) first year has been highly successful, particularly when you consider
the forces arrayed against him,� said Levin.

10 Productivity Hacks for Travel | How to Travel & Stay Productive - Duration: 9:18.
What's up everybody?
And welcome back to Vagabrothers.
I'm Alex. I'm Marko.
In this video we're going to be sharing with you guys and girls some of the tips and tricks that we use
to stay productive while on the road,
which as you may know is pretty often.
A lot of people ask us how we do what we do:
making well researched, high production quality videos on a regular basis.
Truth is that we depend upon a team that stretches all the way around the world- from LA to Toronto,
New York to Moscow, not to mention wherever we happen to find ourselves.
So in this video we'll be sharing with you some tips and tricks that we use
to stay productive on the road, keep our team on the same page, and still have time to enjoy the trip.
We've collaborated with Chromebooks to bring you this video
and show you how we use their laptops to stay on top of our game,
no matter what time zone we wake up in.
You're watching Vagabrothers,
and this is how to stay productive on the road.
Travel is fun.
But when you have to get work done,
it can be really disruptive.
You're in an unfamiliar place;
your body doesn't know what time it is,
but your deadlines back home remain the same.
For our team with so little face time and everyone working in different time zones,
we rely on collaborative cloud-based systems like Slack,
Evernote, or our favorite, Google Docs.
The Chromebooks are seamlessly integrated with the entire Google suite,
which allows us to share publication dates with Google Calendar,
budgets on Google Spreadsheet, and script ideas on Google Docs,
not to mention lets us keep our frequent flyer numbers at the tip of our fingers during check-in.
Everything is synced through the cloud,
which means our team back in California
can be making updates on a script that we can access on location in real time.
Whatever your preference,
there are plenty of apps to download in the Google Play Store,
and Chromebooks is specifically designed to work with the cloud,
which means all of your work is already automatically backed up.
So if the airline loses your checked bag, and you put your computer in your checked bag,
you're not totally screwed, but come on.
You know not to put your computer in your check luggage, right?
I mean, right?
Which brings me to my next point that the Chromebook is perfect for carry-on luggage
because it weighs just over two pounds,
and it's a half an inch thick.
It slides very easily into your carry-on luggage.
So you never even have to worry about potentially losing it in your checked luggage
because it goes right into your carry-on luggage.
See what I'm getting at here?
Tip number 2: Globalize your calendar.
When you've got deadlines that span multiple time zones,
you've got to keep everything synced up using a shared online calendar.
We actually start our scheduling using an old-school handwritten planner.
Every Sunday we spent about an hour sketching out the week to come,
and then we transfer the important dates over to a shared Google Calendar
that's visible to everybody on our team.
But digital calendars are really great for business travel
because they help you avoid confusion with time zones.
If you have a meeting next week in Berlin at 4 p.m.,
you can actually put the location of the meeting, which will automatically change it to the time zone
in the location of your meeting.
This feature is crucial.
It's saved our but numerous times,
and we highly recommend that you use it.
It actually pulls your airline reservations from Gmail and your hotel address
straight to Google Maps and then sends it to your phone,
so you don't find yourself lost late at night looking for your hotel.
This deep compatibility with the Google suite is one of the reasons the Chromebook
is such a great tool to take with you on the road.
I love sketching out ideas by hand,
and one of the cool things about the Chromebook is that comes with a stylus,
which allows me to harness my handwritten creativity without sacrificing collaboration.
Tip number 3 is basic, but vital:
keep your batteries charged.
I'm not just talking about the batteries for your phone or your computer or your camera.
I'm talking about your batteries, too
Yes, you, are your batteries charged?
Keeping your batteries charged is easier said than done.
But here are a couple tips that are pretty basic.
Number 1:
Take it relatively easy the week before your trip.
Number 2:
Get a good night's sleep the night before your trip.
And number 3:
Make sure that all of your batteries for all of your devices and yourself are
properly charged before you set foot out the door.
A single charge on the Chromebook lasts 10 hours.
That's enough to get you through a full day of work,
a flight from London to Rio,
or let's be real, binging an entire season of Netflix.
Black Bear anyone?
The Chromebooks start up super fast.
So the second you hit cruising altitude,
you can power it on, flip over the screen, and turn your tray table into a movie theater.
Ok, what do you want? Peanuts or pretzels?
Do you have any popcorn?
For all the talk of staying connected,
remember that a lot of your creativity happens when you're offline,
especially when you're traveling.
Sometimes your best ideas come when you're miles away from cell service and then........
inspiration strikes.
That's why it's super important to use the offline time to your advantage.
Let the creative juices flow.
Be productive even when you're offline.
My favorite place to be creative is on the airplane.
I never buy online Wi-Fi because
I know the airplane is the one place
that I'm going to be completely free of distractions.....
at least most of the time.
With nowhere else to be, nothing else to do, I can focus on my tasks,
on my creativity flow, or just catch up with emails that piled up while I'm overseas.
Whether it's writing a script, researching new destinations,
or catching up on creative writing,
Google Docs works offline.
So the second I touch down,
It syncs across all my devices
and with the rest of my team.
Most of us love travel because it's an escape from the routine.
But in all honesty,
keeping a bit of regularity in your schedule
will really help you stay on top of things while you're abroad.
It can be as simple as finding a good coffee shop to go to each morning when you're in a new city.
It helps you reset, ground yourself with some ground coffee beans, and
even feel a little bit like a local.
Beyond that trying to maintain a fitness or a self-care routine
will help you keep your balance while you're away.
It can be as simple as rolling out of bed, doing some push-ups,
some sit-ups, a little bit of yoga
or meditation before you start your day.
Regardless of how well you prepare,
there's still one thing that can throw you off your game:
Jet lag.
Everyone deals with jet lag differently,
but personally I take a bit of a Taoist approach-
working with jet lag, rather than fighting against it-
that is if you fly west, you're going to wake up early.
Harness those extra hours for some uninterrupted creative time-
a meditation session or going running across your new city.
It's a great way to get your bearings,
and watching the sun rise will help your body clock adjust.
And if you're traveling east, you're going to have trouble going to sleep.
Use that time to catch up with friends back home,
edit the day's photos for Instagram, or curl up with a good book until you fall asleep,
otherwise baths really help.
Call the front desk, see if they have some bubble bath, like some bath salts,
and then go onto YouTube and listen to some Mongolian throat singing.
Trust me.
The last, but certainly not least:
make sure to steal away and have some time for a
legitimate real cultural experience.
It can be as simple as stepping out of the conference room for a quick tour of the city,
grabbing dinner with an old friend or
checking out that bar that you saw on a Vagabrothers' vlog and really just want to go try.
And if you can swing it, delay your trip by 48 hours,
and make a little mini vacation at the end of that business trip.
If you don't feel like pushing your luck,
just bring home a souvenir for your boss,
and thank him for the opportunity to get out of the office.
Who knows? That little fridge magnet might just send you to Thailand.
Okay, those are our tips on how to stay productive on the road.

Putin Apologizes to Russian Olympic Athletes: Sorry For Not Being Able To Protect You - Duration: 5:05.
Good afternoon, my friends.
I am happy to see you.
We all know very well the price of victory in modern high performance sports and how much hard work it takes – and you know it better than anyone does.
But it becomes twice as difficult when sports get mixed with extraneous events, phenomena, circumstances, politics or other things that have nothing to do with it.
And it becomes three times harder when the public in a country – our country in this case – has very mixed and complex attitudes, sometimes completely opposite opinions on the matter.
This creates a very tough environment for achieving results.
Please forgive us for not being able to protect you from this.
You and all sports fans must have no doubt that Russia has always supported and will support clean sports in every sense −
clean from doping and clean from superficial circumstances unrelated to sports.
Of course, we feel very sorry for those of our athletes who will not be able to compete in the Olympic Games this year and will do everything to support them.
At the same time, while admitting our own failures, mistakes, lack of attention to the things relevant and important in modern sports,
we really hope that our colleagues in international sport organisations will do everything to make sure these organisations do not become departments of certain countries' government bodies,
no matter how powerful and influential these countries seem at first glance.
We really hope for this kind of attitude towards this matter, towards sports, and rely on their courage.
We realise that modern sport is linked with sponsorship, advertising and everything else that accompanies major international competitions.
But if modern international sports and the Olympic movement lose the main element of sport, which unites peoples and countries, all of it will become pointless.
In this case the appeal of the founder of the modern Olympic movement, Pierre de Coubertin "O Sport, You are Peace!" will lose its meaning.
We will do everything to prevent this from happening.
We will work with international organisations and support, as I said, our athletes who did not make it to the Olympics.
Some things really seem strange to us in this context.
As you know, many of them were allegedly banned from the Games for the totality of circumstances not related to doping.
What are we fighting against then? Doping or something else? We would like to know what it is.
We hope to have a substantive conversation with our colleagues from international organisations to sort it out.
Naturally, I wish you good luck.
I would also like to wish you not to think about anything that is not part of your preparations for the Olympics, not to worry about anything I just spoke about.
I wish that you only concentrate on your sport competition, knowing that as usual you are watched by hundreds of thousands, by millions of fans that love you and hope for your victory.
I sincerely wish you victory and good luck. All the best to you.
Thank you.

10 CRIMES People Would Most Likely Commit For MONEY - Duration: 8:02.
Every now and then, everyone is tempted to run afoul of the law.
Whether it's running that red light, or taking that small item without paying, most
Americans have, at least, contemplated breaking the law.
What stops us?
For most, it's the fear of getting caught.
But imagine if that was somehow lessened by a reward.
What if you were paid for the criminal act?
It turns out, you can put a price on morals.
Here are 10 crimes that, deep down, we'd totally commit for cash (according to studies)…
10.
Stealing Candy
In honor of Halloween, the overseers of one study asked participants how much money it
would take to convince them to steal candy.
The answer: not a whole lot.
Participants stated that for just $50, they'd agree to steal the candy from a young child
trick or treating, or from the local store.
The survey found that 84.7% of men would steal candy while only 75% of women would.
Overall, women were less likely to commit crimes for cash than men.
The generation of the participant also had a notable effect on their likelihood to commit
said crime.
Nearly 85% of Millennials said they'd steal candy for money, while only 73% of Generation
X and 60% of Baby Boomers admitted they'd do the same.
9.
Running a Red Light
While running a red light may seem innocuous, a dangerous intersection could lead to fatal
results.
That's why it was surprising how willing participants were to commit such a crime.
More than 88% of men and 77% of women admitted they'd run a red light for a financial benefit.
In this case, men needed more money than women to commit the deed, asking for $300 while
women only needed $200.
Similar to our last case, Baby Boomers were hardest to convince, with only 67% agreeing
to run a red light.
That percentage increased to 79% for Generation X, and a whopping 87% of Millennials.
8.
Peeing in Public
Everyone's had to deal with it.
Shoes sticking to the floor of the train, that smell in parking lots.
It's a crime that many have committed, yet will never admit.
It turns out that with a little monetary incentive, people would do more than admit to the crime…
they'd carry it out.
Overall, 81% of surveyed participants stated that they'd be willing to urinate in public.
Understandably, women were much less willing to carry out such a crime, and asked for a
much handsomer price.
The going price for a woman to pee in public was $1,000, compared to just $200 for men.
Also, while 88% of men said they'd pee in public, only 74% of women would share their
convictions.
Surprisingly, the Baby Boomer generation was more likely to pee in public than steal candy.
We guess for Baby Boomers, a little urine never hurt anybody?
7.
Vandalizing Property with Graffiti
While some may view graffiti as art, it's a misdemeanor and can be punished by one year
in prison.
The participants in this study needed a $1,000 reward to engage in vandalism, with 76.8%
of participants agreeing to carry out the misdemeanor.
Again, men were more likely to commit the crime than women, by a margin of 82% of men
to 70% of women.
The men and women who conducted the study did not further delineate their results by
generation, but it's hard to believe Baby Boomers would know what to do with a spray
can in their hands as well as Millennials.
6.
Punching Someone (Assault)
As the list continues, the crimes get a little darker, and more violent.
Assault is a serious crime, which, depending on the injury, could result in as much as
15 years in prison.
A simple punch wouldn't do much damage, though, right?
That must have been the thinking of the study participants, who agreed to assault someone
for $1,500 (median).
Slightly more than 71% of participants agreed to punch someone, with 77% of men agreeing
while only 65% of women said the same.
Women also asked for more money – $2,000 – while men asked for $500 less.
The States, by participants, more willing to smack someone in the nose?
Those are located primarily in the midwest, north, and central regions, in states like
North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri.
5.
Grand Theft Auto
No, not the video game.
Probably the ultimate thrill ride would be escaping in a stolen car, but its difficulty
and the likelihood of incarceration saw willing participants drop significantly.
Only 55% of those surveyed said they'd steal a car for cash, and the price tag wasn't
cheap.
A payment of $120,000 dollars (median) would be needed to compel them into action.
The women who agreed to steal a car, however, would demand a payment of a quarter of a million
dollars.
It seems that for people to be willing to steal a car, that'd have to be paid enough
to buy a house.
4.
Burglary
The results for willingness to burglarize a home might be surprising to some.
The percentages for robbing a home and stealing a car were nearly identical, with burglary
coming in a single percentage-point lower.
However, burglarizing a home only took a payment of $70,000 dollars for participants to agree.
Women, again, needed more to commit the crime, asking for double their male counterparts
asking price of $50,000.
Presumably because they're much more wary of potential Kevin McCallister encounters
upon breaking into a random home.
At least, that's what we're choosing to believe.
3.
Robbing a Store
The crimes continue to get a little more serious as we round out the list.
One doesn't have to look too far to understand the grave danger of attempted robbery.
From a store owner pulling a gun, to police arriving on the scene, robbing a store is
no joke.
That didn't stop 52% of participants from admitting they'd rob a store for a certain
amount of cash.
The amount demanded?
A cool $250,000.
That was certainly more than they'd find in any cash register.
In the biggest disparity yet, women asked for $500,000 while men only asked for $100,000
to commit such an offense.
Willing female participants continued to shrink, with only 44% agreeing to rob a store.
Luckily for us, the male participants drove the numbers higher, with 59% stating they'd
commit such a robbery.
2.
Robbing a Bank
While robbing a liquor or convenience store is certainly dangerous, carrying out a bank
robbery is by far the most perilous robbery one can commit (well, other than a casino,
as the Ocean's movies taught us).
And yet 57 % of men deemed themselves willing to rob a bank, if they were guaranteed some
upfront cash.
Two million dollars was the average amount for men, while women needed eight million
dollars to commit the same crime.
Women were also far less likely to rob a bank, with only 42% saying they'd take such a
risk.
Bonnie Parker is turning over in her grave.
1.
Murder
Taking another human life, without a justified cause, is probably the most depraved of criminal
acts.
Did that stop the surveyed participants from admitting a willingness to commit murder?
Absolutely not.
However, the price tag rose astronomically.
These men and women would not find work as hitmen.
The asking price for murder was $100,000,000 for men and $500,000,000 for women.
Those more likely to murder for cash reside, just as with assault, in states like North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Kansas, and Missouri.
If you want to live in a state with residents less likely to kill for money, move to the
mountain regions of the US; states like Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana.
Either way, it's shocking and hard to believe that people would commit such acts with a
monetary incentive.
We must keep in mind that this is only hypothetical, and that when put to the test, many would
likely back away from the prior convictions.
At least let's hope, anyway.

Alexa Ray Joel Slams Instagram Troll for Calling Her "Hideous" - Duration: 2:26.
Alexa Ray Joel Slams Instagram Troll for Calling Her "Hideous"
Alexa Ray Joel doesnt have time for Instagram trolls. On Wednesday, Joels supermodel mom Christie Brinkley shared a picture of her 19-year-old daughter Sailor Lee Brinkley-Cook posing on a rock for Sports Illustrateds Rookie of the Year competition.
Clearly excited for her daughter, Brinkley wrote my mermaid and #proudmama in the caption. However, not everyone shared Brinkleys enthusiasm.
Instagram user @sams7007 left an unkind comment about Joel that has since been deleted. Joel caught the comment and called out the hater. @sams7007 Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, Mr Big Shot.
You may think Im hideous, but I like the way I look. And thats really all the matters, she wrote.
(Besides, theres a lot more to people than just what they look like.) But hey, continue being a shallow, hateful troll in life and and see where it gets you!.
Several followers applauded Joel and came to her defense. Brinkley then thanked the Instagram users who supported her daughter. I am also grateful for all the kind hearted people on this thread that jumped to Alexas defense.
Thank you all, she wrote at one point. While Brinkley didnt see the comment, she wrote, [You] have to feel sorry for people like that..
This isnt the first time Joel has faced public scrutiny. Last year, Joel told People she and her sister would get teased by the media as kids.
I was a painfully shy teenager, she told the magazine. Before I decided to be a performer, I was a little shell-shocked when paparazzi would be around.
When youre young, its easy to pick on you. There was a tabloid page that would draw things on my face.
When you come from privilege, they just see you as, 'Oh, she got it all handed to her. Shes also recently talked about the importance of being true to oneself on Instagram. I dont care what you look like.
I dont care how 'successful or 'liked you are. I dont care if youre considerably 'flawed. I dont care where you come from.
I dont care how much money you have or what your 'status is. Im not impressed by superficial fluff. You know whats impressive to me? Be real. (So long as youre being yourself.) part of her post read.
Joel, who is also the daughter of Billy Joel, has too many positive things happening in her life to let one troll bring her down. On New Years Day, she announced that shes engaged to Ryan Gleason.

Lagos CJ inaugurates four special courts for corruption cases - Duration: 3:35.
Lagos CJ inaugurates four special courts for corruption cases
The Chief Judge of Lagos State, Justice Opeyemi Oke, on Thursday, inaugurated four special courts to solely try corruption cases.
She said the move was in obedience to the directive given last year by the Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Walter Onnoghen, for all heads of courts in the country to create special courts for the speedy trial of corruption cases.
Justice Oke noted that there were no fewer than 500 financial crimes currently pending before the Lagos State High Court, most of which had now been transferred to the special courts for expeditious hearing.
The CJ said the judiciary shared in the concern of President Muhammadu Buhari that most of the corruption cases filed under his administration had at best moved at snail's pace.
The courts, tagged, "Special Offences Courts" were inaugurated in Ikeja at a ceremony attended by the acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, Mr Ibrahim Magu.
The President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Zainab Bulkachukwa, CJN, was represented by the Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division, Justice M.I.
Garba; while the Governor of Lagos State, Mr Akinwunmi Ambode, was represented by the Deputy Governor, Dr. Also in attendance was the Solicitor General of Lagos State, Mrs. Funmilola Odunlami, who represented the state's Attorney General, Mr Adeniji Kazeem.
Among other dignitaries who graced the occasion were the wife of the Vice-President, Mrs. Dolapo Osinbajo, and the Lagos First Lady, Mrs.
The Chief Justice, in her remarks, said, "We, in Lagos State and the Lagos State Judiciary, in particular, have taken the bull by the horns and implemented the Honourable CJN's directive by designating four courts as Special Offences Courts to hear corruption and financial crime cases.
"We believe strongly that the special courts shall fast-track the trial of these types of cases and encourage the EFCC and other relevant bodies like the ICPC to expedite the investigation and prosecution of such cases.
"Presently, there are over 500 cases of financial crime pending before the high court, the bulk of which have now been assigned to the Special Offences Courts.
She said it was cheering that Nigeria was joining the league of other countries, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, which had since thought it wise to take drastic steps against financial crimes by creating specialised courts.

This is amazing news, obviously, because it means not only that they have been rescued,
but now they're in a new space, where they will be provided for, cared for, and given
the ability to dream again...to look at the future as something more positive and more
hopeful than what they have experienced in the past.

Drone piloting for beginners: expectations vs reality - Duration: 5:08.
If you are like me, before buying the Mavic you watch almost all the available videos
on YouTube and realize how awesome videos it can make.
Then you buy it, fly it and after checking the video that you've just shot, you realize
that it's very far from awesome.
Today I show you what should you expect from the first couple of flights.
Let's roll…
Almost all of the possible mistakes that you will do during your first couple of flights
come down to one cause and it's called lack of experience.
It's like learning to drive a car.
I mean it's not complicated once you learned it, but at first you can hardly concentrate
on the road, all you can do is to think about the clutch, the gear, steering, gas, break,
signaling etc…
Just after you are familiar with these things you can fully focus on the road and on what's
happening around you.
This is exactly the same with a drone.
After all it's another type of vehicle.
This is why out of the box you start in beginner mode with numbed down controls.
If it's the first time when you pilot a drone you will experience things like loss
of orientation, jittery movement, harsh starts and stops and that's all right.
But it will reflect in the footage too…
Also it has countless settings buried well in the DJI GO 4 application not to mention
it's intelligent flight modes.
So be patient.
Because all you can think about is to keep it in the air you won't have the brain capacity
to check for the focus.
Funny thing that if you let go all the controls, it just stops and hovers there...
And especially when there's an object upclose the result video could have blurry parts in it.
After you quit from the beginner mode the sticks will feel very sensitive.
You can numb it down a little bit in the settings, but eventually you have to learn to treat
them like an Easter Egg.
So you have to be very gentle with them to get a smooth footage.
It's especially true for the camera tilting and for the yaw as well.
Later when you check the footage you could get some nausea.
Okay, okay, no more barrel rolls, I promise.
Because you've checked all the videos you learned that for the best result you should
shoot in D-log or in D-Cinelike.
As a result you got pretty washed out colors.
Even if you shoot in normal mode the footage won't be that great colorwise.
For getting the best results you have to learn some color correction and color grading too.
And even with post processing the colors may become fine, but the overall picture just
won't be the best yet.
I plan to cover these topics later, so stick around.
You also learned that if you want nice motion blur in your video, for shutter speed you
should set twice the framerate you used.
When you try to do it you realize that the image is overblown, almost totally white,
at least in sunny conditions.
This is because you need an ND filter to darken the image and be able to use the proper shutter
speed.
Not familiar with shutter speed, aperture and ND filters?
No problem, subscribe to the channel and we'll cover it soon.
I saved the biggest one for the end.
At least for me it was the biggest at first.
You know the feeling: when you bought a pretty expensive toy and afraid that you will ruin
or loose it somehow.
Every time when birds flew near it, I lost orientation, or I got a warning on high wind
velocity I also got a stomach cramp.
But after my first few flights I got more and more experienced and relaxed and now the
fear is pretty much passed.
Flying a drone especially for the first time is not easy.
You have to pay attention to too many things, so prepare yourself for it.
My recommendation is that for the first couple of times don't even record anything, just
try to fly around, learn the controls and the application.
When you feel a bit more confident, go on and take a shot, but don't be harsh on yourself
with the results.
If you practice, with every new flight you'll be better and better.
This footage you see was my very first one.
As you can see I just went up, looked around then came down, using only the left stick,
that's it.
Even if it's far from a decent footage for me it was magic.
And I recommend you to view drone piloting pretty much the same way.
But hey.
Not everyone is the same.
How was your first flight?
Or what do you expect from it if you haven't flown so far?
Let me know in the comments below.
Besides check out what I'm up to on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
Thank you for watching, until next time…

Pennsylvania's State System of
Higher Education
14 universitie
Infinite Opportunities
Hi I'm Chancellor Karen Whitney,
and today we're going to talk
about the many ways students can
fund their college experience at
our 14 state universities.
I'm joined today by a wonderful
panel.
Let me introduce you to our
panelists.
Elizabeth McCloud is the vice
president of state grant and
special programs at the
Pennsylvania Higher Education
Assistance Agency also known as
PHEAA and she's also a proud
alumni of our IUP.
We're joined today by Angelo
Hronis, a senior sport
administration major at Lock
Haven University.
He's also the recipient of the
LHU SAS student success and
engagement scholarship.
Welcome Angelo.
Thank you for having me.
Absolutely.
And finally we joined by Deb
Suder, senior principal of the
government relations section at
Buchanan Ingersoll and Rooney
PC.
She's also an alum of LHU, and a
trustee of Lock Haven
University, and a donor.
Welcome Deb.
Thank you.
Great to be here.
So let's go ahead and just get
started.
Angelo, could you tell us a
little more about yourself?
Absolutely.
So, I'm a senior at Lock Haven
University.
I'm graduating in May of 2018
and I had the very fortunate
opportunity to start working for
the Cleveland Cavaliers in
January due to my success, and
what I got out of Lock Haven
University that really helped me
to get to where I am today.
Congratulations on graduating
and toward the employment;
that's terrific.
Yes.
Sure, you bet.
Hey Elizabeth, what role does
PHEAA play in helping students
fund their education?
We're going to spend a few
minutes here talking about the
different ways students fund
their college experience, so how
does PHEAA help out?
Well PHEAA works to facilitate
higher education that's
affordable for students and
families in Pennsylvania, and
PHEAA administers multiple
financial aid programs on behalf
of the Commonwealth.
The largest of those programs is
the Pennsylvania state grant
program, which is a program that
all of the PASSHE schools
participate in.
We also provide public service
initiatives across the
Commonwealth.
We have publications available
to assist students and families
and website resources, but
probably our most notable public
service initiative is the 14
higher education access partners
who live and work in communities
throughout the Commonwealth and
provide hands on assistance to
students and families in
learning about the financial aid
application process, and, you
know, planning for college and
completing that application
process.
So interestingly, PHEAA funds
those initiatives through our
financial resources; our
business earnings.
And so that saves our taxpayers
a great deal of money.
We also use some of our
financial resources at PHEAA to
provide additional funding to
some of the programs, including,
for this current academic year,
an 87 million dollar supplement
to the state grant program.
[WHITNEY] Wow!
And over the last 10 years we've
provided supplements to the aid
programs in excess of 670
million dollars.
Wow that's really terrific.
It's a tremendous help the
students in Pennsylvania.
So thank you.
Yeah.
Well let me ask Deb.
Deb can you talk to us about the
many ways that you're serving
Lock Haven University to be
successful?
Well, I've been lucky, since I've
graduated I've been on the
alumni board, the foundation
board, and now I'm really
enjoying being a trustee of the
college.
I worked with our political
science professors up there to
bring the students to --
actually to the Capitol for days
- see how a bill really passes -
so they can throw the book out
the window and learn the system;
which has been fun through the
years.
Each year the students advocates
come down to meet with the House
and Senate leaders and I attend
the meetings with them and I'm
also a donor and provide a
scholarship each semester.
Wow.
So you're an alum, you're a
trustee, an advocate, and a
donor.
Wow.
Well thank you for all that
you've done in all those roles.
I appreciate that very much.
I think the idea of giving one's
time, talent, and treasure is
very important, particularly in
helping students afford to
attend the university.
So in terms -- if I could ask
more about PHEAA, I mean what's
the number one question you're
asked by folks who are
interested what PHEAA offers?
Sure, I think families are always
looking to see what resources
are available.
And so primarily we start by
talking about the state grant
program and making sure that
students know how to go about
applying for financial aid, so
they don't miss out on any
financing opportunities
available to them, particularly
the gift aid programs, such as
the state grant program.
So I assume you have a website.
We do absolutely: PHEAA.org.
Oh that's easy to remember.
So that would be 'PHEAA.org,'
right. Correct.
Yes.
And there are multiple resources
available on PHEAA.org.
There is information about the
state grant program, as well as
each of the other special
programs that we administer for
the Commonwealth.
There are forms when families
need them to fill out.
There are some website tools to
assist them in planning for
college and the application
process and help them make
decisions about where they want
to apply and how they might be
able to finance an education.
Wow, that's very helpful.
That's very helpful.
I hope everybody listening will
go to PHEAA.org and really look
at what's what's been made
available by the state, because
I think everybody, no matter who
they are, should consider how
the state can be helpful to them
in going to college.
Let's take a quick break and
head on out to Indiana
University.
Your old school there, huh?
Ok, great.
As soon as I've stopped on the
grounds here I said, "Wow, this
college is beautiful!"
You know I went through the Oak
Grove and everything, and I
said, "You know, I could see
myself here."
I got my acceptance letter, it
said 'you got accepted to IUP'
and I said, "Oh my gosh, I think
I'm going to go here now!"
And I told my dad about it and
he was like, "But Mary, that's
four hours away."
So that type of variation within
a molecule, ninety nine point
eight percent of the DNA's
identical.
So what I've be telling is only
in point 2 percent it is
different.
I attended my first biology
course here at IUP and that's
when I met him, Dr. Bharathan.
He came down walking, in the big
auditorium in Wayandt, saying,
"My name is Bharanthan. It
rhymes with marathon.
Don't forget it."
So, he really hit home to me
when he said, you know, "You
have to work hard. You're gonna
to have to work hard. This
isn't high school. You're gonna
to have study; prepare ahead of
time."
And so I went back the next day
into his office and I said, "Dr.
Bharanthan, is there anything
you want me to do in your lab?
Anything?"
And you know what, he thought
about it for a while, and he
goes, "Yeah, there is
something."
So he brought me to his lab and
he says here wash the dishes.
And so I made my way up there.
He saw that I just kept coming
day after day, I wouldn't give up.
I'm very grateful for these
scholarship opportunities.
It had really allowed me to
focus more on academics.
My dreams for the future then is
to pursue a higher degree to get
my Ph.D. in cell molecular
biology, after which I plan to
work 5 to 10 years, or 10 to 15
years, in the industry primarily
focusing on cell and molecular
biology, looking at cellular
interactions involved with
people who have terminal
illnesses like my grandmother.
What I would say to those who
have given me this opportunity
-- this scholarship opportunity,
basically, would be, thank you.
Without them I wouldn't have
accomplished and succeeded in
what I have done today.
One day I hope to give back to
students like me at IUP.

Welcome back we're here talking
about how you can find your
college experience in our 14th
state universities.
Well Deborah, what inspired you
to give so much of your time,
talent, and treasure to Lock
Haven University?
Well, even though I went to
another institution to get my
master's, if it wasn't for Lock
Haven, I don't believe I'd be
where I am today.
I didn't have the internet, or I
couldn't google the internships,
or any of the other
opportunities that my professors
gave me while at Lock Haven, and
it was a one-on-one.
They found the internships for me.
They pushed me to work in DA's
office and even to work on a
legislator's campaign:
Representative Russ Letterman, a
former legislator up in the Lock
Haven area.
And so I am so thankful, and
it's my time to turn around and
help those behind me, and help
the students, and help the
institution, to keep it
affordable.
That's the one thing that really
is my passion - is making sure
it's affordability.
The cost of college, and the
debt that the student comes out
with now from our colleges and
universities, it is outrageous.
I don't know if you saw recently
the report this weekend?
Mhmm.
Unfortunately, Pennsylvania came
out as number one in student
debt.
Each student graduating in our
-- averages of thirty five
thousand dollars in debt when
they graduate.
That's upsetting to me, so my
mission is to see and find ways
to keep us affordable.
So because so much was given to
you you're giving back now.
Yes.
So thank you so much.
Well let me talk about
scholarships.
Angelo, you're a scholarship
recipient, can you talk about
how your scholarship helped you
be successful at Lock Haven?
Absolutely.
So this scholarship gave me all
the opportunity to have all my
books paid for, as well as any
kind of code that I needed for
class.
For example, at my finance
class, I had to do a business
game simulation that made real
life simulation with the real
world - put it back into class
and I had to get that code, and
that was all taken care of.
So it gave me the opportunity to
utilize all of my books for
class, because some classes I
had two to three books, and that
could get costly.
So, the fact that I have all
these books that I can continue
my education - learn to where I
am today.
I'm very thankful to have this
opportunity, to get the
scholarship, and then I'm able
to learn on an everyday basis,
not only in the classroom, but
as well with the books, as well,
just to reinforce what I learned
in class outside in the books.
So the scholarship helped reduce
the price that semester, or
while you had it.
How long did you have the
scholarship for?
I had the scholarship for a
year. Wow.
So it really brought down the
cost of what you had to pay that
year to go to Lock Haven?
Absolutely and I got it through
being involved in the S.A.S.
incorporated board as a
corporate board member and
that's where I received the
scholarship from.
I see.
Okay great.
Thank you.
Hey, Elizabeth what are other
ways students can fund their
education?
We've talked about donor-funded
scholarships, but can you talk
to us about other ideas or ways
you find that students are
funding their college
experience?
Absolutely.
So students, sometimes as they
go through the admissions
process with the school, they
might be offered a scholarship
directly from the school, or
they might have scholarships
coming in from private entities
outside of an institution.
But it's very important that
students go through the formal
government financial aid
application process to make sure
that they're not leaving any
resources unused that might be
helpful in covering college
costs.
It's known as the FAFSA.
The FAFSA.
That's correct.
And so that's an application
that even for seniors in high
school is available fairly early
on nowadays.
Students can start the financial
aid application process as early
as October 1st of their senior
year in high school, and they
will need to fill that out on an
annual basis as they move
through their college years.
And so with the FAFSA
application, students are
applying for federal types of
aid.
There is a link from the FAFSA
application to Pennsylvania's
state grant program application.
And so that's a secondary form
that students fill out with just
a couple of additional questions
and that then enables students
to be considered for the state
grant program which is then
need-based state funding.
So students want to start by
using all of the gift aid
resources that might be
available and applying for all
of those resources, and then
[cough] excuse me, once students
have used up all of the gift aid
options, or pursued all
available gift aid, then they
turn to what we call self-help
financial aid funds, and that
can include things like student
employment, perhaps a federal
student work-study job on campus
at one of the PASSHE schools.
That's something that I did when
I was at IUP.
I participated in a work-study
program.
So did I.
That's something many students
don't know.
Right.
And so and that's actually a
program that PHEAA provides
additional funding directly to
colleges to help them with the
funding that's required for
their share of the federal work
study-jobs for their students on
campus.
And then of course students
would also want to look at the
federal student loan program as
the final piece of that
financial aid puzzle.
So we've talked about today --
we've talked about ways to fund;
includes scholarships that are
funded by generous donors.
We've talked about PHEAA grants
that are funded by the state.
Those are items that you don't
pay back and we've talked about
working your way through through
work-study, and then there also
loans that you do have to pay
back.
Correct.
So not to mention there are
other grants besides, you know,
PHEAA.
There's other federal and state
grants as well, so there's
grants and scholarships, loans
and working your way through.
Right. So it's a puzzle of all those
pieces put together and most
students end up utilizing aid of
various types as part of that
puzzle.
There you go.
So we'll talk further about this.
Well let me let me ask you,
Angelo, I mean besides the
scholarship, did you work while
you were a student?
Absolutely.
I work in the student union
building, which is known as 'the
PUB.'
And I did a lot of operations,
but I worked there part time to
assist with my funding.
So you've worked, you have a
scholarship.
What are the other ways you know
that -- in some cases parents
will save money, in some cases
parents don't save at all; mine
didn't save, they weren't
savers, so I had to work my way
through.
Everybody has a different story.
What else have you done to make
it work out?
I was very thankful my parents
helped me out a lot throughout
my college career.
So I'm very grateful for that.
I applied with FAFSA and I got
some assistance with that as
well, so that helped, and
financial aid, and then also
working on campus and getting
involved, just to help offset
anything, and then, of course,
the scholarship that I was very
greatly appreciative for.
That's great.
That's terrific.
And I think it takes a little
bit of everything to help people
get through college these days.
Well I'll tell you what, we're
going to go ahead and take a
break now, and we're going to
learn some more about the State
System Foundation, and the way
that foundation helps students
with scholarships.
AT&T Aspire is really our
signature philanthropic
initiative.
AT&T started this in the year
2008.
We've been at this for about
nine years.
We've invested about 400 million
dollars across the country on
this and the signature
initiative is really around
education.
It's twofold.
It's making sure that students
are staying in school.
The second piece is just that
ensuring students are career
ready.
That we have a qualified
workforce that's ready and able
to step into positions at AT&T
and within our industry.
The State Systems Foundation's
fundraising efforts are
specifically focused on student
success.
So when we go out and talk to
prospective donors about
investing in our students or
being a partner with the State
System Foundation, we often will
present the option of investing
in our students because it is
important to our business
community here in Pennsylvania
as well.
AT&T has a number of career
needs in the STEM fields, so
AT&T hires approximately 25,000
new workers across the country
and in any given year.
About three quarters of workers
are in STEM-related fields.
Businesses can invest in
Pennsylvania students by
partnering with the State System
Foundation because we have 40
universities across the state
and we had the largest
population; over 100,000
students.
80 percent of the students that
graduate from the state system
stay in Pennsylvania and are
productive members of
Pennsylvania community.
So it's not only good business,
at least for us at AT&T and
other donors, but it's also an
investment in the economic
future of Pennsylvania and
that's critically important for
anybody that lives or works in Pennsylvania.
I feel that I am being benefited
right now through this
scholarship and I feel that
hopefully I am able to return
that in the future by helping
society as much as possible
through what I'm studying right
now.
We've provided 1,000 dollars
scholarships for STEM for the
last two or three years, and I
believe we're close to about a
100,000 dollars in scholarships
to students across the state.
We are able to provide students
with the opportunity to invest
their time and energy in
extracurricular activities in
bluechip practices, like
internships, lab experiences,
and even tutoring, and giving
back, which set them apart from
other candidates when they go
out for their first interview for a job.
I could be a student who is
working, you know, 20 or so
hours a week, or with funding
from sources like the AT&T
scholarship, I could spend that
time studying and trying to
further my own education and my
own future.
Whether it's a situation where
it's maybe a first generation
college student, whether it's a
situation where our 1,000 dollar
scholarship, or any of the other
donors to the state system
Foundation, has been able to
close that gap.
A student that otherwise would
not have had that opportunity to
go to college.
It's really heartwarming to hear
those stories and to recognize
that you've made a difference.
Working towards graduation three
semesters from now I feel that I
have been able to lay a very
strong foundation through the
resources that IUP and the State
System have given me.
I feel like that's a benefit I
definitely would not have
without the scholarship.
So I was a first generation
college student and paying for
college was difficult for me
also.
As an alum of Shippensburg
University, it is really
meaningful to me to be able to
bring together corporate
partners to help those students
like me, is truly -- it's why I
come to work every day.
It's why I come to work
everyday.
Welcome back.
We're here talking about the
different ways you can find your
college experience.
Hey Deborah, what are the
financial needs that you see of
our college students?
And it seems like they're
getting much greater than ever
before.
Well they are unfortunately.
When I started in Lock Haven in
1977 it was, for a whole year,
2,000 dollars, all in your room
board and all the fees.
Now it's an average of about
20,000 dollars.
2,000 versus 20,000 dollars.
The debt the children are coming
out -- the students are coming
out of college with it is
outrageous, as I had mentioned
earlier is very upsetting, and I
don't see it getting any better
unfortunately.
The pension costs, the health
care costs, and unfortunately,
that funding from our state has
drastically decreased.
And the way our budgets have
been running, and in
Pennsylvania, I don't see us
ever restoring the money that
the System gets.
So right now, I see that the
corporate America, the alumni
need to really assist and help
the students to keep their
college costs down.
Definitely over the decades the
cost -- the price has shifted
from the state to the student
for a lot of reasons.
So I hear that you're saying
that it's really important to
you to try to help lighten that
burden as much as possible back
to our students and I get a
sense that's one of the biggest
reasons you're donor.
Yes.
That's terrific.
Well I think it means a lot to
know that students have rich
scholarship because that means
you believe in them.
Thank you.
Well let me ask you to that
Angelo can you tell us about
your scholarship?
You've got a great scholarship.
What was the secret to your
success in getting such a
terrific scholarship?
I wanted to stay involved in
campus.
I played baseball on the Lock Haven
baseball team as a
sophomore.
And after that I wanted to focus
on my career.
And I thought well, what's a
better way to get involved on
campus, get involved in clubs,
the Student Union Building which
led to my job.
I started talking to Jodi Smith,
the director of student
activities, and I started asking
a lot of questions.
How can I get involved?
What can I do to help out around
campus?
Not knowing about the
scholarship at that point, but
just to get involved and after a
year proceeded, she really liked me.
I did a lot of good stuff at the
PUB and it led to me getting a
scholarship on the corporate
board member -- as a corporate
board member and that's where I
received the scholarship.
So getting involved -- what
really helped me a lot because,
not only did I get to meet
people, I got the opportunity
for the scholarship, and they
really helped me with my success
at Lock Haven.
Wow.
That's great.
It's terrific.
Well Elizabeth, what other
resources -- we've talked about
few earlier that you could
consider suggesting to students
to look at either resources that
are directly related to PHEAA or
other areas or resources that
you might suggest, you know if
your next door neighbor were
watching this and was trying to
figure out how to afford to go
to college what would you
suggest?
Right.
So I would start by suggesting
higher education access partners
I mentioned earlier, the 14
folks around the Commonwealth
who literally host thousands of
financial aid information
sessions and FAFSA completion
sessions every year.
And are those those events
listed on the PHEAA website.
I don't know that they're all
listed on the PHEAA website, but
usually they're primarily
advertised within the
communities where they're being held.
So keep an eye open.
Right. So that would be my first piece
of advice is to check through
local libraries, secondary
schools, post-secondary
institutions, see what is
available in the community in
the way of it in terms of those
events beyond the access
partner's work.
PHEAA does have other resources
available.
We have many free publications
which walk families through the
financial aid planning process,
college higher financing
planning, financial aid
application process, the types
of aid that are available.
We also have online planning
tools which help students plan
for their education and think
about how they go about
financing it.
You know our goal is to help
students have an affordable
higher education.
We're also focused on making
sure that students are borrowing
reasonable amounts through these
government student loans to fund
their education.
So our goal is to have students
come out on the other side of
college with an education that
was affordable, but also with a
manageable level of student
debt, so that they can live
independently as citizens after
the college years.
So really, loans are the last
thing we would suggest people
and they should look at,
like we've talked about earlier
scholarships and grants,
planning to work summers or
during their college in a way
that's reasonable to help bring
the cost down, so that loans
become the last thing. Right?.
And we have a particular tool
that I think is very helpful with
that, which is called
MySmartBorrowing.org.
My Smart Borrowing is a site
where students can play around
with some calculators that are
very helpful, and you can plug
in different majors, you can
plug in which school you're
planning to attend, and look at
estimates of what the employment
availability will be in that
field post-graduation or what a
potential starting salary would
be.
And so it helps students make
decisions as they're going into
the college years, and even
throughout those years, that
will impact the amount of debt
they come out with on the other
side and help them be prepared
to move on post college
independently.
So you could almost see what
your return on your investment
in yourself could be?
Oh that's pretty exciting.
Well at this point what's the
one piece of advice that you
would give high school students
looking to attend one of our
state universities?
I think the biggest piece of
advice I would give students is
not to assume that because
they're applying to a public
university that they won't be
eligible for financial aid
programs.
And so every student should be
planning to complete the FAFSA.
The deadline for PASSHE
institutions state grant
eligibility is a May 1st FAFSA
submission and so students
should be applying by May 1st
each year with the FAFSA
completing any other paperwork
PHEAA needs, you know making
sure that they're taking
advantage of any type of aid
that might be available to them.
So often we hear stories where
families have just assumed that
they wouldn't be eligible
because their cousin wasn't or
their neighbor wasn't you know
and they're leaving types of
financial aid behind.
You're leaving money on the
table.
So everybody who plans to go to
college this fall before May
they should complete the FAFSA?
That's right.
Very good.
Well hey, Angelo, what advice do
you have for high school
students?
Definitely agree with the FASFA
for sure.
That was such a big help going
through my college career.
But you know deciding the school
you want to go to, go visit it,
and see what fits best for you,
because each one of our
universities has different
strengths, and see what it means
to you, and what you want to be
a part of.
And then just go through the
process of you know getting
involved in campus, getting
involved in clubs, and working
on campus, so you never know
what's going to happen.
Potentially s scholarship can
help you do anything.
Like you said, to avoid getting
a loan.
But anyway, just to make your
college career smooth-sailing.
Awesome advice.
Deb, let me ask you what would
you say to potential donors
about why they should be giving
to our universities to do what
you're doing so well and that's
lighten that financial load?
I would ask the alumn of the 14
schools and our businesses to
please look at any resources
that they have that they can
donate: their time or
financially.
Children and students coming out
of college right now, it's hard
for them.
Even without debt, I know my own
children I had to co-sign for
credit cards, first cars, and
apartments.
It's tough to get started.
And with the alleviating of some
of their financial liabilities
when they graduate, it's so so
helpful.
And I would just say ask if
anybody could please look to see
what they can do is alum to help
our 14 schools.
It's, it's the future.
I think we'll all say with
students like Angelo alumni like
yourselves.
You know our state system
university students are great
investments and well we're
scholarships.
Thank you all very much.
That's all the time we have
today.
Thank you panelist for talking
with me on such an important
topic.
And thank you all for being and
watching here about how to pay
for college at your state
university.
Thanks.
Come back next week to learn
more of the Infinite
Opportunities at the State
System's 14 universities or visit
us online.

#ThrowbackThursday: Why I Run for Ooch - Peter Evans - Duration: 0:49.
My name is Peter Evans, and my affiliation with Camp Ooch is I've been a volunteer for the last 8 summers.
And then of course, you know, after seeing what Camp Ooch is all about and understanding what it means to kids...
... it was easy for me to try and really step up my game in terms of volunteering and also fundraising.
I run for Camp Ooch because I really feel like it's a bit of a celebration.
I think it's a celebration for the bravery and spirit of the kids that go through so much...
... and are able to take that wonderful bravery and spirit up to Camp and let them blossom...
... and let them just be kids.
I run for the kids.

💗 5 Creative Hanging Shelving Idea for Small Bedroom 💗 - Duration: 3:41.
Your bedroom is your safe haven.
A simple shelf can add a lot of definition
to your unadorned wall, not to mention if
it can also function as storage.
If you feel like doing a little remodeling
to your little sanctuary but are also tight
on budget, I've got just the perfect solution.
Here are 5 cheap DIY Hanging Shelving Ideas
for Small Bedroom by simphome.com
that hopefully will provide inspiration for you.
1.
Chains and Hooks
With simple chains and hooks, you can turn
your old wood boards or planks
into a nifty piece of storage and simultaneously adorn
your wall with decoration.
Attach four hooks on the ceiling to hang the chains
and make tiered-shelves by fastening
the chains on all the four sides of the boards.
This creative wall storage idea for small bedroom room
will surely add so much personality and warmth.
2.
Floating Mantel Shelf
A mantel shelf will add a lot of interest
to your plain living room and you can nail one
without having to buy them at IKEA.
You will only need three 8 feet 1" x 12" oak boards,
dark walnut stain and wood glue.
Cut all your boards in half to create six 4 feet boards
and sand them to smooth any rough edges.
Stain each board with a sponge brush
and stack them with a 2" overhang on each side
after they are dry.
Apply wood glue once stacked as needed
and use clamps to secure them.
3.
Timeless Classic
Two-tiered open floating shelves seem to give
off a classic vibe in any room they are installed.
Choose plain planks with approximately 3ft wide
and with 2" thickness for the best
looking and most sturdy shelves.
In addition, if you are worried attaching them
with brackets would shatter the beauty
of the shelves because of their stark difference
in colors then you might want to fasten them
with screws into studs.
Polish the woods in dark walnut stain
and seal them with Hemp Oil.
These spots are perfect to display your frames
or vintage vase decorations.
4.
Your Magazine Holder is a helper
Think outside the box all the time and you
might come up with totally unique ideas.
If you still got a tiny space left in your bedroom wall
but it's not big enough
for a cabinet or drawer
you can use your used magazine holder!
That's a convenient solution if you happen
to have one which is made out of wood.
Better stain it first and mount it on the wall
by putting it on its side with nails.
This cute tiny storage is the perfect spot
for your small items like keys, chains, or loose changes.
5.
Make the Most of Your Perimeter of Bedroom Wall
Storing all your book collection in a mahogany
vertical bookshelf might make your room look
overcrowded if you don't have a walk-in closet
and use ordinary wardrobe instead.
You can use the empty space below your ceiling
to store your books, and all your other stuff
by building shelves along the entire perimeter
of your bedroom walls right under the ceiling.
Ready to make your small haven even cozier

Summit: Youth Share Stories for Social Justice - Duration: 2:08.
This is the Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Service Summit. We are a partner and we
are partnered with Emily K Davis and also with the YMCA. What we wanted to do
is really look at the idea of service and look at the voices of youth
in the community and how they perceive justice and the messages of Martin
Luther King Jr. as they relate to our youth today. They're having the
opportunity to one, listen to the voices of youth. (shaking off my shoulder, shaking off my shoulders)
Two, to be able to put their voices and to paper.
And three, to be able to take that and put it in a medium like video
storytelling to be able to tell the stories of what they see justice issues
and advancements in our community. (What does that mean to you? Justice for all, justice for none, justice for some, we have a justice problem)
We we want to provide greater service and having youth voice in that is a
great way to start the dialogues that we need to have as a community across our
state. Especially around issues of justice, issues of inclusion. Bringing
different communities together. We really want to be able to look at what civility
or the ability to speak opinions, different opinions and one context
together and try to porch forward by the dialogue. (Martin Luther King Jr. had a dream and here is ours)
One of the things about 4-H is we can have difficult conversations and conversations that come and bring
different voices together but we do it in the context of joy, of fun, being able
to share and to walk out of this place as friends as people working
together into a better future for Iowa.
