This Is What Happens to Your Body If You Eat Turmeric Every Day - Duration: 3:38.

Both the continent of Asia and the sub-continent of India have fantastically exotic cuisine

in relation to the western palate.

Oftentimes these region-specific dishes contain spices that traders have been transporting

to the west for millennia.

Yet, these spices that come from plants and roots have been in great demand all over the

world due not only to their ability to create flavorful dishes, but also because of their

medicinal properties.

One great example is Turmeric.

Closely related to ginger, its one of the essential ingredients in a good curry, adding

flavor, color, and important health benefits.

Take a look at a few reasons why we recommend you add turmeric to your list of regularly

used spices.

It fights cancer

Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, whose main purpose is to disrupt the way that

cancer cells grow and spread in our bodies.

According to some researchers, the greatest benefit of curcumin's cancer fighting potential

takes place in the early stages of cancer.

Yet, it's also noted that turmeric's "natural chemotherapy" is effective on a wide range

of cancers including lung cancer, lymphoma, and leukemia.

It reduces swelling

Turmeric is a great anti-inflammatory substance.

Studies have shown that turmeric works better than over-the-counter NSAIDs at reducing inflammation.

It also has no unwanted side effects.

People suffering from arthritis have noted significant improvements after implementing

regular usage of turmeric.

It's not only good for reducing swelling around joints and muscles.

Although many people might not associate digestive problems with inflammation, it's actually

one of the main culprits.

It's anti-inflammatory properties are why it's an effective treatment for ailments

like indigestion and ulcerative colitis.

The latter is specifically brought on by inflammation that produces ulcers in the lining of the

large intestine.

Regular use of turmeric helps keep inflammation in check in our digestive tract, but it also

improves the production of bile in the gallbladder.

These juices greatly facilitate proper digestion.

As a word of caution, medical professionals advise against turmeric for those who suffer

from stomach ulcers.

It's good for the cardiovascular system

Brought on by many factors, over time, dangerous plaque can build up around our arteries.

With increased plaque, a person's blood pressure also climbs as well as his or her

risk of a heart attack.

Curcumin has been shown to reduce the buildup of plaque in the cardiovascular system.

However, it doesn't stop at plaque.

It also effectively fights blood clots and high cholesterol.

As always, if you are on blood pressure medication, consult your physician to ensure that turmeric

doesn't interfere with your prescribed medication.

It's good for the nervous system

In a recent study with laboratory mice, researchers lauded their findings that showed curcumin's

effectiveness on memory and cognition.

That led them to conclude that turmeric may actually assist in the development of new

synapses in the brain.

Therefore, turmeric has the possibility of fighting debilitating neurological diseases

like Alzheimer's and dementia.

Why Roberto Firmino is 'restless' & 'annoyed' as Liverpool chase Champions League glory ● News #LFC - Duration: 2:18.

Firmino has scored 10 goals in the Champions League this season - but he's still not entirely

happy.

Roberto Firmino has revealed how an insatiable hunger for success is driving him on in search

of Champions League final glory.

The Brazilian striker has netted 27 goals so far this season and was recently rewarded

with a lucrative new contract.

Firmino believes he's in the form of his life but he's desperate to sign off this campaign

on a high by ensuring the Reds beat Real Madrid in Kiev.

"This year is my best year as a professional footballer… but I am still a little bit

restless as I always want more, to grow and grow even further," he told UEFA.

"It would be a unique moment to win the final.

It's a very special trophy because it's the Champions League.

"If we're fortunate enough to be able to win it, it will be a very emotional moment

for me and the whole team."

Firmino has proved he belongs among Europe's elite.

His tally of 10 goals in the Champions League this term is only bettered by Real's Cristiano

Ronaldo.

"Very," Firmino said, when asked if he was satisfied with his haul.

"Although I am a little bit annoyed because I always want more and I am never satisfied.

However, you cannot beat yourselves up about these things all the time and you must always

keep moving forward.

"It is my first season in the Champions League and I am one of the leading scorers,

alongside Cristiano and Mohamed Salah.

"I am pretty pleased and very happy with my performance and the entire team's performance.

And I hope to keep that going into the final."

This remarkable European run started back in August against Firmino's former club Hoffenheim

in the qualifying round.

What is the day of the Lord? - Duration: 1:37.

Ankerberg: Ron, you've mentioned the day of the Lord.

What is the day of the Lord?

Rhodes: Well, the day of the Lord is a term used in both the Old and New Testament.

And in the Old Testament sometimes it was used of a near-term event; but it was often

used of an eschatological end times period, more specifically the tribulation period.

And in the New Testament I think the tribulation period is zeroed in on by the New Testament

writers.

It is a time when God is not working so much through secondary causes, but God is working

directly among human beings on earth.

And He's working in terms of judgment.

And so, when you're thinking about the day of the Lord, think of a time of judgment that

leads right up to the second coming of Christ.

Hitchcock: Yes.

The term day of the Lord's found 19 times in the Old Testament, four times in the New

Testament.

And the best description I've heard of it, or definition, is, the day of the Lord is

any time that the Lord intervenes directly and dramatically either to judge or to bless.

And at least one of the references in the Old Testament the day of the Lord is this

time of blessing.

So the day of the Lord, the eschatological or end time day of the Lord, seems to include

the tribulation period, that time of judgment, but also the millennial kingdom, because God

is going to be intervening directly then to bless.

But most of the references in the Bible, the future references, are to this great time

of trouble that we call the tribulation.

Michio Kaku: Who is right about A.I.: Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk? - Duration: 4:00.

Recently, I was on the Richard Quest show on CNN TV and I was asked the question that

we have the battle of the billionaires; on one hand we have Mark Zuckerberg saying, "Don't

worry, artificial intelligence will give us new jobs, new industries, create wealth, prosperity."

And then we have people like, well, Elon Musk, who says, "Watch out.

They pose an existential threat to humanity."

Who knows, maybe one day they'll put us in zoos and throw peanuts at us and make us

dance, make us dance behind bars like we do with monkeys and with bears.

Well, my personal point of view is that both points of view are in some sense correct.

In the short term, I think Zuckerberg is right.

Artificial intelligence will open up whole new vistas, it will make life more convenient,

things will be cheaper, new industries will be created.

I personally think the A.I. industry will be bigger than the automobile industry.

In fact, I think the automobile is going to become a robot.

You'll talk to your car.

You'll argue with your car.

Your car will give you the best facts, the best route between point A and point B; the

car will be part of the robotics industry.

Whole new industries involving the repair, maintenance, servicing of robots, not to mention

robots that are software programs that you talk to and make life more convenient.

However, let's not be naïve.

There is a point, a tipping point at which they can become dangerous and pose an existential

threat.

And that tipping point is self-awareness.

You see, robots are not aware of the fact that they're robots.

They're so stupid they simply carry out what they are instructed to do because they're

adding machines.

We forget that.

Adding machines don't have a will.

Adding machines simply do what you program them to do.

Now, of course, let's not be naïve about this, eventually adding machines may be able

to compute alternate goals and alternate scenarios when they realize that they are not human.

Right now, robots do not know that.

However, there is a tipping point at which point they could become dangerous.

Right now, our most advanced robot has the intelligence of a cockroach—a rather stupid

cockroach.

However, it's only a matter of time before robots become as smart as a mouse, then as

smart as a rat, then a rabbit, then a cat, a dog, and eventually as smart as a monkey.

Now, monkeys know they are not human.

They have a certain amount of self-awareness.

Dogs, especially young dogs, are not quite sure.

One reason why dogs obey their masters is because they think the master is the top dog,

and so they're a little bit confused about whether or not we humans are part of the dog

tribe.

But monkeys, I think, have no problems with that; they know they're not human.

So when robots become as intelligent as monkeys I think we should put a chip in their brain

to shut them off if they begin to have murderous thoughts.

When will that happen?

I don't know.

I suspect it will happen late in this century because I think we have decades of experience

that we have to go through and learn before we can pose this particular problem.

So, in other words, I don't think there's any rush today to deal with killer robots

that are going to destroy the human race and take over, but I think we have to keep one

eye on the ball and realize that by the end of this century, when robots do become self-aware,

we have to be careful.

White House senior adviser Kushner: Standing with Israel is the right thing to do - Duration: 14:27.

Thank You ambassador Friedman you've really done a great job today and you've

done a great job as an ambassador but today's really been spectacular so thank

you very much

I am so proud to be here today in Jerusalem the eternal heart of the

Jewish people and I'm especially honored to be here today as a representative of

the 45th President of the United States Donald J Trump I also want to thank

Prime Minister Netanyahu and Sarah for being with us here today to celebrate

this historic occasion thank you very much

I'd like to ask all the members of Congress who are here on their

delegations to rise and be recognized today would not be possible without your

advocacy throughout the years

Thank You deputy secretary Sullivan for leading our delegation secretary

minuchin for your leadership and for your friendship and of course Ivanka

thank you for all the great work you do to help so many people in our country

and throughout the world including me so I love you I also want to acknowledge

vice president Mike Pence for his tireless efforts to strengthen the

us-israel relationship in December of last year president Trump announced to

the world that the United States would finally recognize the truth that

Jerusalem is the capital of Israel he also declared that we would soon move

our embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and just five months later we are

standing on these grounds while presidents before him have backed down

from their pledge to move the American Embassy once in office this president

delivered because when President Trump makes a promise he keeps it

but today also demonstrates American leadership by moving our embassy to

Jerusalem we have shown the world once again that the United States can be

trusted we stand with our friends and our allies and above all else we've

shown that the United States of America will do what's right and so we have

Israel is a sovereign nation with the right to determine its own capital the

same right that is enjoyed by every other country in the world in taking

this action the United States has also chosen to strengthen the bond between

our two countries our special bond is the envy of nations

throughout the world this bond is forged through shared history sustained through

shared interests and immortalized through shared principles the United

States stands with Israel because we both believe in freedom we stand

together because we both believe in human rights we stand together because

we believe democracy is worth defending and the United States stands with Israel

because we believe we know that it is the right thing to do

when we stand together for the principles and the values we share we

shine a light of justice unto the world Israel proves every day the boundless

power of freedom this land is the only land in the Middle East in which Jews

Muslims and Christians and people of all faiths participate and worship freely

according to their beliefs Israel protects women's rights freedom of

speech and the right of every individual to reach their god-given potential these

are the same values that the United States cherishes these are the values

that bind us together these are also the values that have made Israel one of the

most vibrant nations in the world this tiny population has spurred advancements

in technology medicine and agriculture making the world a healthier safer and

more prosperous place these are the blessings we hope Israel can one day

share with its neighbors last week President Trump acknowledged another

truth and kept another promise he announced his intention to exit the

dangerous flawed and one-sided Iran deal

Iran's aggression threatens the many peace-loving citizens throughout the

region and the entire world from Israel to Jordan to Egypt to Saudi Arabia and

beyond many leaders are fighting to modernize their countries and create

better lives for their people in confronting common threats and in

pursuit of common interests previously unimaginable opportunities and alliances

are emerging I am also proud to be here today

as a member of the team that president Trump has entrusted to lead the efforts

to bring peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians it has been an honor to

work with our new Secretary of State Mike Pompeo national security advisor

John Bolton

our ambassador David Friedman and our Special Representative Jason Greenblatt

who really does so much pretty good I

also want to acknowledge ambassador Nikki Haley who really has created a new

day for Israel anyway

on December 6 president Trump was very clear that his decision and today's

celebration do not reflect a departure from our strong commitment to lasting

peace a peace that overcomes the conflicts of the past in order to give

our children a brighter and more boundless future as we have seen from

the protests of the last month and even today those provoking violence are part

of the problem and not part of the solution the United States is prepared

to support a peace agreement in every way that we can we believe that it is

possible for both sides to gain more than they give so that all people can

live in peace safe from danger free from fear and able to pursue their dreams the

United States recognizes the sensitivity surrounding Jerusalem a city that means

so much to so many Jerusalem is a city unique in the history of civilization no

other place on earth can claim significance to three major religions

each day Jews pray at the Western Wall Muslims bow in prayer at al-aqsa mosque

and Christians worship at the Church of the Holy Sepulchre that is why President

Trump has called many times including right now on all parties to maintain the

status quo Jerusalem's holy sites including the Temple Mount also known as

Haram al-sharif while the challenges to peace are numerous I have personally

seen that the determination of the leaders in the region and throughout the

world remains steadfast they have seen too much pain sorrow and wasted

opportunity and they think it's time to try something better

throughout history Jerusalem has been the victim of war and conquest it has

been used to divide people and to instigate conflict by those with evil

intentions but it does not have to be this way Jerusalem must remain a city

that brings people of all faiths together to visit to worship to respect

each other and to appreciate the majesty of history and the glory of God's

creation Israel has been a responsible custody'

of Jerusalem and has kept these religious sites open to all in fact

immediately after the 1967 war one of the first acts of the Knesset was to

adopt the protection of holy places law ensuring access to places of worship to

members of all religions funds were immediately allocated to repair any

damage to the churches mosques and synagogues that suffered through war

conflict and neglect as Israel turned 70 the search for a lasting peace turns

over a new leaf one of realism and of not being afraid

to stand strongly with our allies for what is good for what is right and for

what is true when there when there is peace in this region we will look back

upon this day and remember that the journey to peace started with a strong

America recognizing the truth

but pursuit of piece is the noblest pursuit of humankind

I believe pieces Within Reach if we dare to believe that the future can be

different from the past that we are not condemned to relive history and that the

way things were is not how they must forever be it will not be an easy road

and it will be filled with difficult moments and tough decisions but if we

dream big if we lead with courage we can change the trajectory for millions from

hopeless to boundless this is a hope that many of us know personally I am

here today as a proud American and the grandson of Holocaust survivors during

World War two my late grandparents Ray and Joseph Kushner fled their homes to

the forests of Belarus to escape Nazi persecution somehow they managed to

resist the horrors and survive after the war they built a new life in America a

beacon of hope a land of limitless opportunity in my office in the White

House I keep a photo of them on my desk to remind me of how high the stakes are

when nations fail to recognize right from wrong and the decisive power

America has to tip the scales in favor of the righteous

today we take another historic step in that direction

I am confident that as a result our nation's will be stronger our peoples

more prosperous and our futures filled with even greater promise for peace may

God bless you may God bless Israel may God bless the United States of America

you

IT WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO END LIKE THIS - RACING IS LIFE EP. 10 [ENGLISH SUBTITLES] - Duration: 14:33.

You always do that!

Yeah I say them

That's experience. I know..

Bye

So many people

When I left the box, I couldn't believe it

there were so many of you! Wow

Who knew so many would come to see me?

And it's by far the biggest satisfaction of the whole day

I also read all the comments to the previous videos

and I never thought it possible

I would have never thought so much

affection and support could be possible

nor that there's be so many of you

Ok, right now you're 141.024

but that's just a number

and reading your comments and seeing you there

it's a whole different story

Race 1 is over. I broke the ice

All the unknowns, all the doubts, all the worries, have vanished under that checkered flag

My physique, which was the biggest worry, held up,

and this proves how much power adrenaline has over our performance

because as long as it flows in the veins, you don't feel anything

Experience after race 1:

8 laps are few, short and pass quickly

and yet I learnt so much in those 8 laps

now I face race 2 with a totally different mindset

I'm less scared, less afraid,

I'm less anxious. I'm more confident, and I have more experience

This is the turning point

I have to give it 110%

and aim at the highest step on the podium

and maybe even try to make a better start

Oh come on! Not again

Look at Scotti! Look how fast he's going

Ok apparently today Scotti is doped

Ok. Stop. Stop. I'm too slow

It's not good. I'm stuck

At the in qualifications I was at 13.6

now 14.4

I need to wake up, or I won't even make it to the podium

I remember when Luca told me

during training, that you have to go fast on the track

right from the first turn

always. alway. you have to be fast even going to pay the bills

And even Perotti told me before the race

If you're third and see the first one going long,

in that moment it's important

to reach second place and check the distance

Scotti is running away, he already

fooled us all once

and I can't let him get away with it again

Right now

something clicked in me

I have an energy, an adrenaline

so powerful.

I'm a sort of competitive trance

where I just have one goal:

Get Scotti

Come on, I almost got you. I'm almost there

Now, you're mine. It's the second-last lap

I either make it or brake it

The yellow flag! I didn't see it

Now I have to give him the position back

Oh come on!

You can't lose a race like this. No.

Oh well. Congrats to Scotti once again.

and Palladino

Where's Palladino going?

the track's over there

When you lose a race you knew you could win,

all because of a yellow flag

you are left with a bitter taste in your mouth

that stupid damn yellow flag will hunt me in my dreams until the next race

and many asked

how I failed to see it

and here's the answer

for the whole time, Scotti, who was in front of me,

covered the first flag

so I just surpassed him, and in the meantime,

I saw the second flag

the regulation requires that if you pass with a yellow flag, you must return the position within one lap

experience proves that it is better to return the position so as to waste less time possible

and not while closing the gas completely when straight

as if you're on an afternoon stroll on a Saturday. Like I did

Life teaches us to be smarter than the rest

'cause otherwise, the others will outsmart you

My biggest compliments go to Francesco Scotti,

who today fooled us all

demonstrating a deadly race pace and doing doubles

to Massimiliano Palladino who, clever as a marten, has been able to take advantage of every situation

But above all they go to the whole tecnica moto team that

has shown a professionalism that I can guarantee you,

in this world, is very rare to find

and if you're ever to race one day

you'll be in good hands with them

today I had the unexpected proof that I have what it takes to be at the front

the pole position and the fast lap show that I got the speed

The fluctuating race pace and the many errors show that to win, speed is not enough.

And let's not talk about the start

Next session: 26-27 May

track of Varano dè Melegari

The good news is that I arrive on the track with a lot of important experience

The bad news is that I don't have free days to train

And I'll see the track for the first time on Saturday morning

BREAKING News From ICE… This Is HUGE!!! - Duration: 11:52.

BREAKING News From ICE…

This Is HUGE!!!

WASHINGTON – Less than seven months after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

Deputy Director Thomas Homan issued a directive that called for increased worksite enforcement

investigations to ensure U.S. businesses maintain a culture of compliance, the agency's Homeland

Security Investigations (HSI) has already doubled the amount of ongoing worksite cases

this fiscal year compared to the last fully completed fiscal year.

From Oct. 1, 2017, through May 4, HSI opened 3,510 worksite investigations; initiated 2,282

I-9 audits; and made 594 criminal and 610 administrative worksite-related arrests, respectively.

In comparison, for fiscal year 2017 – running October 2016 to September 2017 – HSI opened

1,716 worksite investigations; initiated 1,360 I-9 audits; and made 139 criminal arrests

and 172 administrative arrests related to worksite enforcement.

"Our worksite enforcement strategy continues to focus on the criminal prosecution of employers

who knowingly break the law, and the use of I-9 audits and civil fines to encourage compliance

with the law," said Acting Executive Associate Director for HSI, Derek N. Benner.

"HSI's worksite enforcement investigators help combat worker exploitation, illegal wages,

child labor and other illegal practices."

ICE is the federal agency responsible for upholding the laws established by the Immigration

Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, which requires employers to verify the identity

and work eligibility of all individuals they hire.

These laws help protect jobs for U.S. citizens and others who are lawfully employed, eliminate

unfair competitive advantages for companies that hire an illegal workforce, and strengthen

public safety and national security.

Under federal law, employers are required to verify the identity and employment eligibility

of all individuals they hire, and to document that information using the Employment Eligibility

Verification Form I-9.

ICE uses the I-9 inspection program to promote compliance with the law, part of a comprehensive

strategy to address and deter illegal employment.

Inspections are one of the most powerful tools the federal government uses to ensure that

businesses are complying with U.S. employment laws.

A notice of inspection alerts business owners that ICE is going to audit their hiring records

to determine whether they are complying with existing law.

Employers are required to produce their company's I-9s within three business days, after which

ICE will conduct an inspection for compliance.

If employers are not in compliance with the law, an I-9 inspection of their business will

likely result in civil fines and could lay the groundwork for criminal prosecution if

they are knowingly violating the law.

All workers encountered during these investigations who are unauthorized to remain in the United

States are subject to administrative arrest and removal from the country.

Failure to follow the law can result in criminal and civil penalties.

In FY17, businesses were ordered to pay $97.6 million in judicial forfeitures, fines and

restitution, and $7.8 million in civil fines, including one company whose financial penalties

represented the largest payment ever levied in an immigration case.

"Employers need to understand that the integrity of their employment records is just as important

to the federal government as the integrity of their tax files and banking records.

All industries, regardless of size, location and type are expected to comply with the law,"

Benner said.

"Worksite enforcement protects jobs for U.S. citizens and others who are lawfully

employed, eliminates unfair competitive advantages for companies that hire an illegal workforce,

and strengthen public safety and national security."

HSI's worksite enforcement strategy includes leveraging the agency's other investigative

disciplines, since worksite investigations can often involve additional criminal activity,

such as alien smuggling, human trafficking, money laundering, document fraud, worker exploitation

and/or substandard wage and working conditions.

HSI uses a three-pronged approach to worksite enforcement: compliance, from I-9 inspections,

civil fines and referrals for debarment; enforcement, through the criminal arrest of employers and

administrative arrest of unauthorized workers; and outreach, through the ICE Mutual Agreement

between Government and Employers, or IMAGE program, to instill a culture of compliance

and accountability.

Keep up the good work guys!
