I'm going to ask a question and you can't Google it.

What's the biggest agricultural power in Europe?

Who is the biggest food exporter in all across the EU?

Many will think Spain, Italy, or maybe France.

After all, these countries have good weather and thousands of hectares of arable land.

However, none of these countries gets close to THE NETHERLANDS, also known as HOLLAND.

To give you an idea, Holland is the largest food exporter in the world, second only to

the United States.

What are you saying?

You're not surprised?

Well think about it.

We're talking about such a small country, that they even had to build dams to gain some

land from the sea.

In fact, it's one of the most densely populated countries in the world.

Which means, they barely have any land to cultivate.

To this we need to add the fact that they are one of the richest and most modern countries

in the world.

The first stock market created in history was the Amsterdam stock exchange.

And I'm sure you all know Dutch companies such as SHELL, PHILIPS or the ING bank.

Normally, when a country has many industrial or service companies, agriculture is placed

on the back burner.

You may be wondering: Why?

Well imagine that we have a piece of land, for example in Spain, that measures one hectare.

If we use it to plant potatoes, we can earn between 7,000 and 8,000 euros per hectare.

Now, imagine the amount of money that we could earn if we used that area to build a factory

or an office building.

Do you understand now?

Well, despite all this, Holland is the world leader in potato exports.

And is above France, Spain or even the United States.

I know what many of you may be thinking.

Agriculture in Europe?

I'm sure Brussels is giving out some grants somewhere!

Agriculture is one of the most protected sectors with the most aid in the entire European Union.

However, the Netherlands isn't the country that receives the most money.

Of course, they receive aid like every other member country.

But they don't get even a third of what Greece gets, for example.

And if we compare it with larger countries like France, the differences are abysmal.

So how is it possible that with so little land and so little help, Holland has become

the market garden of the world?

As you can imagine, the answer is simply defined in one word: TECHNOLOGY.

In a farm in the Netherlands we can find tractors that drive themselves, drones that monitor

crops and, of course, resource-optimization at the highest level.

However, there's still a question: Why does Holland have a more modern agriculture than,

for example, Spain, which has more aid from Europe?

What has the Netherlands done that can be imitated in other countries?

Today we're going to answer these questions but before, let's take a look back at history.

FROM THE FIELD TO THE UNIVERSITY

In the 70s, Holland was one of the most prosperous economies in Europe.

Companies such as Philips or Airbus were conquering international markets.

And all this were good news.

But, as we always say in VISUALPOLITIK, not everything is a field of roses.

Imagine being 20 and living in the Netherlands back at in time.

Where would you have liked to work?

In an international company like Philips, with high salaries and good conditions...

or on your father's farm?

Exactly!

Dutch agriculture was on the verge of disappearing.

We have to add something very important to this.

As we said before, the Netherlands is very small and there's hardly any space for large

farms.

For example, there's plenty of land in the United States.

And that means that farmers can group and create large farms.

In fact, nowadays a lot of American farms belong to large companies.

This means that they can make scale investments and, for example, buy planes to fumigate huge

areas of land.

However, in the case of the Netherlands, farms are small.

With an average size of around 7 hectares, making large investments became really complicated.

To make matters worse, by the 70s, Dutch salaries were already much higher than in other European

countries.

In other words, unlike the farmers in Southern Italy, the Dutch couldn't compete with low

prices.

And you may be wondering, why did they need agriculture?

After all, in those years, there was already a certain degree of international trades.

The Netherlands could import food while they manufactured televisions or airplanes, right?

Yes, you're right.

From a purely economic point of view, they could've easily let go of their primary

sector.

But, my dear friends of VISUALPOLITIK, not everything in life is economy.

And in a country like Holland, peasant associations have a lot of power.

More than in almost any other country.

For example, in many other countries they have something called the Social Dialogue

table, which is an organization where the government, employers and unions meet.

Well, in the Netherlands they have something similar.

But along with employers and unions, farmers and rancher associations are also well represented.

And in the 70s, Dutch farmers and ranchers weren't willing to change jobs.

So, put yourself in this situation: Holland had to maintain its primary sector at all

costs.

But, at the same time, all the odds were against them.

At this point, I know what you may be thinking...

Grants!

The solution would be to give subsidies to the farmers so they'd stop protesting!

Right?

Of course, it wouldn't be the first nor the last time such policies are applied.

But the Dutch government had other plans.

Now that they had to maintain their primary sector, they wanted to do it well.

And, since they couldn't reduce salaries or group farms, there was only one solution

left: to improve productivity.

That is, getting the farmers to produce more and better while working.

How?

We'll see that right now!

THE UNIVERSITY OF WAGENINGEN

You've surely heard it a thousand times: Silicon Valley wouldn't be what it is today

if it weren't for Stanford University.

It's the mecca of research in everything that has to do with electronics and telecommunications.

But they don't only research!

They also train the best computer scientists in the world.

And as they leave the university, they go directly to big companies like GOOGLE, APPLE

or TESLA.

Well, as far as agriculture is concerned, the mecca of innovation isn't in the US

but in the Netherlands.

Yes, friends of VISUALPOLITIK, I'm talking about the University of Wageningen, also known

as FOOD VALLEY.

Many of you might not have heard about this university.

That's because they only work in the world of agriculture.

They don't have degrees in law or art history.

Wageningen's motto is to improve food quality in the entire world.

You may be wondering, but what is so special about this University?

The first difference is money.

The Netherlands knew that it needed technology to improve its fields.

So what did they do?

They covered their scientists with money.

In just two decades, Wageningen University's research budget doubled.

But wait a moment because money isn't the only important thing!

Truth is, the most important thing wasn't HOW MUCH but WHERE that money was coming from.

See... in many European countries and in most of Latin America, there's a very clear line

that separates the public and private universities.

Public universities live from the State.

Period.

Of course they can have some kind of collaboration with private companies.

But... let's be honest, this barely represents a small percentage of their entire funding.

Wageningen's case is different.

50% of their money comes from the Government, 25% from the university's own income and the

last 25% from private companies.

And I know what you're thinking!

Private companies financing a university?

Does this mean that the university is private?

Of course not!

But it is a great advantage.

It allows the university to be connected to the rest of society.

Ok!

Ok!

Sorry, I know that sounded like a politician's bluff.

I'm sorry.

I'll explain with an example.

While preparing this video, we telephoned CESAR BRAVO, a farmer from Spain, more specifically

from the Canary Islands, to ask about how agricultural modernization works.

You may not know this, but livestock is very important in the Canary Islands.

Especially goats.

They have a specific type of goat, called PALMER GOAT, which is unique in the world.

And, logically, there are several institutes and foundations that dedicate to studying

this type of goat.

However, as CESAR explained, practically none of the studies they make are useful to farmers.

Think about it!

If you have a goat farm, what kind of research do you need?

You'll want to know how to produce more and better milk, right?

Studies on how to better feed the animals, dietary supplements or even genetic engineering.

Well, if you go to the ICIA website, for example, which is the Canary Institute of Agricultural

Research, you won't find anything like that.

There are tons of academic articles that explain the racial origin of the palm goat, whether

it's related to other goats in Morocco or Tanzania or if they existed during the middles

ages.

Practical use?

Practically zero.

Meanwhile, according to the TIMES HIGHER EDUCATION ranking, Wageningen's studies are the most

cited in their field.

But that's not all!

I bet you can't guess what the university's official language is.

You surely think that by being in Holland, they'd speak Dutch, right?

Well, none of that!

We're talking about the world capital of agricultural research!

But not only that!

Record numbers of foreign students at Dutch universities of technology

In this university, more than 40% of all students are foreign.

As is the research staff.

No matter where you're from, if you have a talent for agriculture, you can get a place

in Wageningen.

Which is why the official language is English.

That explains why Wageningen is, for example, the pioneer in LED lamps for greenhouses,

allowing to create precisely controlled artificial microclimates.

Thanks to this, the Netherlands is one of the leaders in tomato growth, even though

in natural conditions, tomatoes would never grow in such a cold country.

But not only that!

In a country like the US, farmers need about 126 liters of water to grow 1 kilogram of

tomatoes.

Well, thanks to this university's research, now one can produce the same amount with just

8 liters of water.

Imagine how much saving that means both from an economic and ecological perspective.

But wait a moment!

Research is good but… it really isn't worth anything if it stays within the university.

And in that, Holland is again an example of how to do things right.

FROM THE UNIVERSITY TO THE FIELD

Let's get back to Spain for a moment.

Imagine that we have a tomato garden and want to invest in this hydroponic technology that

will allow us to save on water.

The European Union, more precisely the Common Agricultural Policy, provides all kinds of

grants so that farmers can modernize their fields.

So we'll go to the Agricultural Extension Agency, which is where all these grants are

managed.

Well, we'll get our money there and they'll make sure that we will actually spend it to

improve our production techniques.

So far so good.

But, how do we know what machines to hire?

One would think that the farmer would know, better than anyone, what their lands would

need.

But the truth is that the agricultural world evolves as quickly as Internet companies.

And if nobody advises us, we'll have to find the information ourselves.

Well, that's the situation in which almost every Spanish farmer is!

There's a huge gap between the university and the field.

The Dutch case is entirely different.

In this country they have the so-called Agricultural Council Offices.

That means that there's a person in charge of explaining what type of machines we should

buy and what technologies are best suited for our type of crop.

The result?

The Dutch field looks nothing like those of any other country.

While most of the European countries consume tons of antibiotics for animals, the Netherland's

ranchers are already using the most advanced veterinarian techniques in such a way that

they can prevent diseases instead of curing them.

The same happens with plant pesticides.

In this country they noticed that if they use drones to monitor the crops, they can

control each and every one of the vegetables, and prevent them from becoming infected.

And in a country where almost half of the crops are irrigated, they have managed to

decrease their water consumption by almost 90%.

And agricultural product exports surpassed 92 billion euros last year.

And not only that!

Holland is also making money by exporting their own technology.

The UAE goes Dutch to ensure their food security So the question is, do you think other countries

can import these kinds of policies?

How far can the technologies developed in Holland help feed the entire world?

Leave your answer in the comments.

Before we finish, I want to thank CESAR BRAVO and ANGEL GAGO, from AGQ Nutrition, for helping

me in this video.

And if you're interested in this subject, we'll soon release another video explaining

the European Agricultural Policy, the so-called CAP, in depth.

How Secure Is Your Password? - Duration: 7:31.

And then Sam and Frodo lived happily ever after

The end. BOOM! My novel is complete.

Hi there. Good to see you. My name is Jake Roper and now you might be asking yourself

Jacob, why is half of your hair buzzed? Well that's a great question.

It's not just because I really like the character Rodger from the show, Doug

or Skrillex or any kind of combination of the two.

It's because I'm working on a very secret project

that looks like this. It's gonna be amazing. I'm very excited for it but again it is a secret. You know what else is a secret?

Passwords. And that's what this DONG is all about. Passwords. How secure is your password?

Could you make it better? Maybe?

Probably. Let's find out with some DONGs, things that you can do online now guuuuys. Time that one out, Hannah.

First things first, let's test how secure your password is.

We'll go to howsecureismypassword.net and

we featured this on a DONG before but it is a very useful in this situation.

Let's try the password, michaelstevens.

Oh look at that! It's gonna take about 51 years for a computer to crack but look what happens

if we add a 2.

Now it has gone up from 51 years to 175 thousand years.

And sure Michael Stevens2 is not too difficult to remember but many internet users have

more than one account and some even have close to 100. I mean I have a different password for every account that I have so it kinda gets a little bit difficult.

But if you want to make strong passwords that are different for every account like moi it can be

hard to keep them all together.

That's where a service like LastPass comes in which I personally use and I've been using for years and they were also nice enough to sponsor this episode

and support Vsauce and the DONG.

Now LastPass is great because you don't have to memorize all your passwords.

It stores all of them which is convenient but it also can autofill for you because I always do the thing where I type in a password

and it's not the right one and I keep typing it in until I get locked out of my account. This autofills it because there are plugins for your browser

and there's also an app for your phone which is very nice.

Also it can generate random passwords for you which turn out to just be like a long string of numbers and letters

which is good for security. And you can try LastPass for free for as long as you want. No credit card required.

Link at the top of the description which is very nice.

Now. Passwords. How secure are they really?

Because in 2014 it was estimated that 47% of adults in the US had some personal information stolen.

Now to find out we can use this hash generator.

Hash values are generated by a one-way function so you can get the hash value if you have

the password but not the password with just the hash value.

A variety of these hash-generating algorithms exist

But computerphile has a great video that breaks down how SHA-1, a hash function works.

It has recently been replaced by more secure algorithms but it was widely used for many

years.

These irreversible functions don't mean a weak password will protect you from theft

or fraud though and I'll explain why in a little bit.

For now let's check the strength of yours.

So let's type Michaelstevens into the hash generator.

and this one uses SHA-1 but there are others as well.

Ok so typed in michaelstevens.

Here's our hash value. So let's just copy that.

Now we can go to crackstation and see if it can figure out what our password was from

the hash we copied in.

Figured it out almost immediately.

And that's not a huge surprise because crackstation draws from a 15-billion entry lookup table

Now add 1.5 billion entries for the remaining algorithms.

A lookup table is a storage format that lists passwords next to their corresponding hash

values.

It sounds tedious to create but when you realize that crackstation can decrypt 20 passwords

at once in a matter of seconds it becomes easier to wrap your head around.

And this brings me back to my point about the necessity of a strong password despite

complex hashing algorithms.

If you use a common one like "password" you can be pretty sure that somewhere within

those 16.5 billion entries exists a hash value for password.

So what if we now hash michaelstevens2?

Adding a number helps because it is a very easy form of Salting.

It adds a random string of characters, the salt, to the beginning or end of a password

before it's hashed.

It makes a password easier to crack because you can't use a lookup table since it's

impossible to predict what the salt is.

And if you were hoping for a generator to create a salted password well

we've got you covered

with Salt the Pass.

So let's try one of those easily hackable passwords we used earlier, like password. Great. Now let's copy it and put it into crackstation.

So I know what you're thinking, Jake, $$$michaelstevensfan345#2508 is too hard to remember.

How do I stay safe from ill-intentioned people trying to steal all my stuff?

Easy my friend, with pass phrases, a random collection of words like zebra dance onion parachute.

But what if that isn't random?

I mean for me it probably is because I've never been with all four of those things at the same time

but what if I had?

What if a hacker knows I love all of those things and can guess it?

That's where diceware passphrase comes in.

This method makes sure the words you choose are 100% random.

Each word in the given list corresponds with 5 numbers.

Roll a die five times, write down the digits, and select your first word.

Now keep doing this until you get however many words you want.

If that rolling seems a little too tedious for you then good news there's this dice simulator right here that lets you

click a button for 5 rolls simultaneously.

Please comment your 3 word passphrase below and also whatever salt you added to it.

Now good luck finding it in a lookup table which by the way, may be an efficient strategy

for nefarious people, but the drawback is that it takes up a lot of storage.

For the low-storage hacking solution there's the brute-force method.

You've probably heard of this technique before. It's essentially just trial and error.

The hacker guesses different combinations of passwords until they get the correct one.

And there are programs to make it go faster, like John the Ripper, but brute force is one of

the slowest, most tedious methods.

So we can actually check this out. If we got to betterbuys.com you'll see how quickly your password would be figured

out using brute force.

It's really cool to see how just by adding a few numbers you can increase the time it

takes to hack by a matter of years or millennia or even infinity.

You can also see how it would differ depending on the year and computer processing power.

We're gonna set it to 2018 and

it would take 135 millennia.

Okay now if we make it password was it would take .2 milliseconds.

But if this was the year 1982, it would take 39 jiffies.

Which is fantastic because I love the word jiffy.

A jiffy is an unspecified short period of time.

So when people tell you they'll be back in a jiffy and they don't come back for

years you can call them a liar.

Still waiting for you to come back Michael Stevens. Said you were going to the grocery store and you never came back.

Just left mom and I alone.

Anyway, as technology evolves and hackers become more proficient, cracking passwords

becomes faster and faster.

The point of all of this let me close this we're gonna get a little one on one time.

Point of this isn't to scare you really. One I think it's just kind of cool to see how secure your password is.

And just play around with it.

The other is that security is important on the internet.

I get an email pretty much every day from one of my accounts saying that

someones tried to reset my password. So that's why I think this is very valuable

to investigate. Ya know?

Do it with your friends. Check some passwords.

That's what I do on a nice Friday night. Check for passwords. Wait for dad

to come home and yes. So there's links to the DONGs down in the description

If you wanna check out LastPass which I would highly recommend. I really really like their software.

There's a link down there at the top of the description and

what was that? Yeah. As always

dad come home.

Thanks for watching.

This Is How Warren Buffett Made $85 Billion - Duration: 9:30.

Warren Buffet: a name synonymous with capitalism, the American dream and financial success.

But how did a poor boy growing up in the Great Depression go on to become one of the richest

men in the world? Hello, and welcome to The Infographics Show- today we're taking a look

at an American financial legend and how he made his fortune.

Warren Buffet was born August 30th, 1930 in Omaha, Nebraska. Exposed to the brutal reality

of the American Great Depression, Buffet learned to respect the value of money early in life.

In the grip of one of the worst financial crisis in American history, his family lost

all of their savings as the bank where they kept their money closed just before his first

birthday. Living in poverty, Buffet would grow up watching his mother skip dinner so

that his exhausted father, working any jobs he could find, could eat a full portion. He

would also endure the shame of his family skipping church because of mandatory tithing

they could not afford. Rather than languish in hardship however, a young Warren boldly

declared one night at the dinner table that he would make his first million dollars by

age 35, or he would throw himself off the tallest building in Omaha.

From a young age Warren Buffet showed an incredible talent for math and numbers. He was specially

interested in patterns, and would play games where he recorded the license plate numbers

of passing cars and then that night would write them all down and figure out which number

came up most often. This finely honed talent for pattern recognition eventually drew him

to a new game that would foreshadow the life to come- one day as he watched men buying

soda from a machine, he became curious and started gathering up the discarded bottle

caps. That evening he returned home and counted up all the bottle caps he had collected, then

repeated the process for an entire week, thus learning which brand of soda had the best

sales and which flavors were preferred. His mind drawn to numbers, patterns and finances,

Warren soon graduated to recording stock prices from his father's newspaper, repeating his

soda pop diligence to figure out high-performing stocks. Feeling like he was watching the world

of finance through a glass cage without being allowed to participate, a young Warren dreamed

of that first million dollars and the opportunity to invest it.

With the Great Depression ending, Warren watched as his father, leery of rising inflation following

the financial boom of a post-WWII America, invested what little money he had into tangible

assets such as gold coins, a crystal chandelier and sterling silver dinnerware. This would

go on to influence Warren's preference of tangible over intangible assets, and an investment

philosophy that preferred businesses with tangible assets and proven earning power.

At age 13, he would go on to his first job as a paperboy where he realized he could maximize

his earnings by diversifying his product line. To that effect he began to sell magazine subscriptions

to his paper route customers, preferring to sell subscriptions just as they were about

to expire to guarantee a quick second sale. His paper route would go on to earn him $175

a month, or $3,000 in today's dollars.

By the time he was 15, Warren used his earnings to buy a 40-acre farm in Nebraska and hired

a laborer to work on the land. After graduating from high school, he used the profits from

the farm to pay his way through earning a Bachelor of science degree from the University

of Nebraska. Rejected by the prestigious Harvard Business School, Warren instead applied to

and was accepted at Columbia Business School, where he would study under legendary value

investor Benjamin Graham.

As he left home to New York for business school, the ever-frugal Warren opted to stay at a

local YMCA for free rather than pay for room and boarding elsewhere. He picked up a paper

route again, but invested his money into pinball machines which he would place at local barbershops.

Afraid that the mob owned the gaming industry though, Warren purposefully kept his operation

small. It would be his pinball days that would teach Buffet more practical business lessons

than school: convenience and service fetches higher prices, location is everything, efficiency

determines profit margins, and the practical limitations of scalability for business.

After graduating from Columbia Business School, Warren briefly returned to Omaha and studied

public speaking while teaching investing at the University of Nebraska. In 1954, his old

teacher and mentor, Benjamin Graham, offered him a job as an investment salesman and securities

analyst. By 1956, Buffet had bought a home for his wife and young daughter, and had $174,000

in savings- or just over one and a half million in today's dollars. Believing that he could

live comfortably from his earnings on his investments alone, Warren decided to retire

at age 26. The young Warren however quickly grew restless as his childhood dream of being

a millionaire stirred in his head once more. Deciding he would have to be far more active

to meet his goal, Warren came out of retirement in 1956 and started Buffet Partnership Limited.

Building on the lessons of his youth, Warren grew his wealth by sticking to investing in

businesses with proven earning potential and tangible assets. His most influential deal

however would be the acquisition of Berkshire Hathaway in 1964. Originally established in

1839 as the Valley Falls Company, Berkshire Hathaway would go on to become a highly successful

textile manufacturer. However with declining sales following a drop in global textile sales

after World War I, the financial future of the company looked to be on the decline. Ever

savvy, Warren Buffet noticed that its stock prices would improve dramatically after closing

down a mill, and thus in 1962 he invested heavily hoping for short-term gain. In 1964,

CEO Seabury Stanton offered to buy back Warren's shares at $11.50 per share, to which Warren

agreed. However when he received the offer in writing he saw that the price had been

surreptitiously dropped to $11.37. Furious at this undercutting, Warren instead decided

to buy more of the stock and took control of the company, immediately firing Stanton.

This however put him in a situation where he owned a failing textile manufacturer, so

while he initially maintained the core business of textiles, by 1967 he began to invest company

money into insurance and media. Eventually, he would shut down the entire manufacturing

side of the new Berkshire Hathaway, focusing mainly on investments, insurance, utilities

and energy. In just a few short years, Warren Buffet had turned a failing business around

and by the age of 30 had achieved his goal of earning one million dollars- five years

earlier than planned.

Berkshire Hathaway would go on to become his flagship for all business investments, and

despite it being very successful, Warren decided to dissolve his firm, Buffet Partnership,

in order to focus all his efforts on developing Berkshire Hathaway. After phasing out the

textile business, Warren focused on buying assets in media such as The Washington Post,

oil and energy company Exxon, and the insurance giant Geico. In 1979 Berkshire Hathaway began

trading at $775 a share, reaching $1310 by year's end- this would skyrocket Warren Buffet's

net worth to a whopping $620 million.

Not content to rest on his laurels however, Warren had a new goal: $1 billion dollars.

The same year his personal worth reached over $600 million, he directed Berkshire Hathaway

to acquire stock in the television network ABC. Partnering with Capital Cities, a media

company worth approximately ¼ of ABC's net worth, Buffet helped finance a $3.5 billion

dollar deal in exchange for a 25% stake in the combined company. This deal would rock

the media industry as the substantially smaller Capital Cities purchased and then merged with

the juggernaut ABC.

Edging ever closer to his billion-dollar-goal, Warren began buying Coca-Cola stock in 1988,

eventually amassing 7% ownership in the company- one of Berkshire Hathaway's longest and still-held

investments. With Berkshire Hathaway's share of Coca-Cola stock alone worth $1.02 billion,

Warren Buffet at last reached his goal of becoming a billionaire as Berkshire Hathaway

stocks closed at $7,175 a share on May 29th, 1990.

With careful investments built on his lessons learned as a child: preference for businesses

with tangible assets and proven earning power, Berkshire Hathaway would go on to become one

of the most powerful and profitable companies in the world. With Warren Buffet at its head,

he would grow his personal fortune 17 times over just six years after earning his first

billion, earning $17 billion by age 66. Reaching an astonishing $84. 7 billion at age 87, his

real value would be exponentially higher today had he not given away more than $27 billion

to charitable causes in the last decade alone, and although he is one of the world's richest

men, he remains an astonishingly frugal man who prefers a mid-2000s style flip phone over

a smart phone and often has McDonalds for breakfast.

From dirt-poor to one of the wealthiest men on earth, Warren Buffet is a true capitalism

success story and hero of the free market. Yet with today's widening wealth gap, skyrocketing

health care costs, and the difficulty for lower-income families to find credit at affordable

rates, is Warren Buffet's incredible success story still possible today? Let us know your

thoughts in the comments section below, and as always if you enjoyed this video don't

Black is Beautiful - Interview with Supermodel Ajuma Nasenyana - Duration: 8:49.

Tell me, what are some tips to be a better model?

Um...

There is really no tips to it, your just born with it.

Oh, it's like that, huh? - Yes.

Oh my gosh, I grew this beard... - Models are just natural.

Just natural? - Yes.

Did you as a young child want to be a model? Was that a dream?

No, I was actually an athlete.

Is it?

Yeah.

No, it was never a model. I was actually a Kenyan national champion in 400 meters.

Look at you being all shy and humble about it.

400 meters? - Yes.

After this we are going to put on our sneakers, we're going for a sprint.

Deal? Deal.

Wow that's incredible! - But that was before two kids.

Before? - Yeah.

So, there is so much to cover. You have two kids, you're a mom, you're a supermodel and your running a business.

How do you do it?

I don't know, I just have to, I mean you just grow up and you gotta. You gotta stabilize your life.

I mean you gotta, at some point everybody gets there. - Absolutely.

So you need to do it, yeah.

What are some of your highlights from your career?

Oh gosh, Victoria Secret.

Is it? - The fashion show, yeah.

That's what every girl dreams of doing, and I did that. - Wow!

Well, wonderful. I was, I am Vivienne Westwood's muse.

Oh. - Yeah, she is a fantastic designer as well.

Of course. - Yes.

And well, I mean I've done...

How was working with Naomi Campbell? - Oh yeah, great as well. Yeah.

So it's, yeah.

I mean I would have never dreamt of like doing all that.

Wow.

What was one of the hardest moments in your career and you pushed through, what got you through that?

I think it's what got me through hard moments in my career?

Sure.

I think what I always say is that it's my upbringing.

There is a way African kids are brought up that makes you get tough skin.

Yeah.

Wow, that's incredible.

That's amazing!

And you come from a large family?

Yes.

Yeah? - Yes, yes.

Of course you know, we live my cousins my aunties, everybody, of course it's large.

My extended family. - Wow.

What was the reaction from your mother when you went on the Victoria Secret runway?

It's so hard, it's so hard for them, can I say to fathom?

Get their mind around the whole modeling thing. - Okay.

Yeah so... They were proud of me, you know? - Sure.

Proud of me, but of course to some extent most of my family didn't understand.

You know, you put on clothes, you walk and your paid. They don't get it.

What's going on over there?

How do I sign up? - Yeah.

Oh my God, I grew this beard for this competition, you know? I mean...

So I hear, a little birdie told me that besides modeling you are also an actress.

Actress, my gosh, no. - "To Catch a Dream"?

I am just saying.

Tell me about that.

It's just that I have been modeling for a while and people have been saying.

Oh, you know? You should try it, to act. And I am like, no. I'm just such a bad actress.

You know.

And my friends decided they were gonna do something.

Like this acting thing.

"To Catch a Dream"

And I decided, why not give it a go. It's just me and my group of friends.

Let me see, you know? See how it's going to work out.

So it worked out quite... people seemed to like it.

Yeah, it's incredible, it's incredible!

With millions of views on YouTube, check it out.

What drew you to that story? Is it something that touched you?

Yeah it's... These are stories I had been told as a kid.

These fantasies. These are fantasies that we've been told by my grandparents, you know.

So to actually act it out was quite amazing, because I don't know, it's just what we've been told since we were children.

You know?

What's that... - These folk stories.

Yes, yes.

Could you briefly tell us what that story is about? That specific one?

So it's about me and my husband is haunting me.

In my dreams. - Gustaf

How did you know what that was?

I've done my research!

We are going to the news, banging heads. That would be perfect.

Anyways. - Yes.

So we go through some traditional, what do you call it? Remedies to get rid of him.

Which takes me through a journey.

Where in the end, of course, I do get rid of him.

Oh. - Yeah.

No Gustaf.

Ok, What does Ajuma mean?

It's a beautiful name, is there a meaning behind that?

Yeah, Ajuma is actually it means Friday. -Friday?!

I was born on a Friday.

No way!

Sarah Black must love that! "Friday..." Rebecca Black.

So you were born on a Friday so they named you Ajuma?

Yes. Yes.

Incredible, wow. That's amazing.

Do you believe in Aliens?

My gosh, I don't believe in them but I am scared of them.

Okay.

Me too, I'm frightened. I'm like, if I met an alien, oh my God.

My subconscious I think, yeah.

It's kinda, believes in them maybe, I don't know. - Are they watching us?

Yeah.

Tell me more about this movement "#Love your black".

Oh yeah.

Growing up I was teased because of my skin tone.

I'm pretty dark.

Here in Kenya, the lighter you are, the more attractive you are.

Wow.

Here in African Kenya? - Yes, Yes.

So a lot of people go around bleaching their skin which is, there are a lot of health issues that come with that.

Of course.

And also it doesn't look good, you know?

You get, I don't know, it just doesn't look pretty.

It's not healthy. - Yeah but, to the point that.

I mean people would rather look like that then look like this.

You know?

They would rather walk around with blemishes and weird skin. - They are not confident in their own skin.

Than look like this.

So I had quite a hard time growing up, you know?

With my confidence, self esteem. I mean, which I didn't really show. I am not that kind of girl.

I always keep it cool, but of course inside you know, was bad, was killing me inside.

So I took it out through sports, I was very tomboyish.

Oh yeah. - Crazy tom.

Oh my gosh!

I was the captain of all the sport teams so, I mean I took the attention away from that.

You vented your energy into that. - Yes, yes.

Anyways, so what I did now, I became this model where all of a sudden I am beautiful.

You know, I mean I was on Times Square, I was on you know, magazines.

On TV, everywhere.

And all of a sudden I came back home and everyone now thinks I'm beautiful, right?

Beautiful, wow.

So I am using that to just encourage the younger generation, you know?

Or anybody who's like, anyone who had been put down.

Because their skin is dark, you know?

So normally, I go around schools, I bring kids here from schools.

The ones who are like being bullied or who are having a hard time.

You bring them here with you? - Yes.

They come here with me, just a little group.

We talk about our problems, what we have been through.

You know? I open up to them.

What I have been through.

When I was little, also when I was growing up in school.

And also, and then we do makeup, we make them up.

And then we go into the studio and we shoot them.

Take pictures. - Oh my gosh, that's beautiful.

That's amazing.

Then I teach them how to walk, you know just to boost their confidence.

Right, of course.

So they go out of here feeling good.

Which is quite satisfying.

That's amazing, they carry that with them throughout their whole life.

Yes.

You are really changing lives. - Yes.

That's amazing.

And it's something I also want to go now to... There is this big refugee camp where I come from in Turkana.

Kakuma.

So I would also like to do the same kind of thing there.

That's amazing, your really beautiful inside and out. - Thank you.

That's amazing, thank you so much.

So Ajuma, one last question, what message do you have for girls around the world?

Yeah, like of course for those girls who are going through the same sort of thing like me.

Like, I have been dragged in the mud, been called names like "charcoal", you know?

Even Kenyan's themselves calling me "monkey". - Wow.

You know? Isn't that strange? - It's terrible.

Yeah, I have been through a lot, people calling me all sorts of names.

Growing up, that is.

I mean, look at me. I'm doing fine, I'm alive, I made it, I didn't bleach my skin.

So I would just like to tell those girls, you are beautiful just the way you are.

I can confirm that.

You are. Please just be comfortable in your own skin.

You're amazing.

Yes.

#Loveyourblack

Spread the message! - Yes yes yes Love your Black.

Even light, even brown... - Every color.

Every color, all shades of blacks are beautiful.

Wow, Ajuma, thank you so much for being such an amazing role model.

You are truly beautiful inside and out.

And thank you so much for having us here, it was incredible.

Thank you.

What is GAMESALAD?! - Softlocked - Duration: 2:30.

If you have a hunger that can only be satisfied through creation, but aren't quite sure

how to code, GameSalad is an entree you should order up.

The engine was developed by Gendai Games, and saw its first open-beta in 2009.

The following year, the team saw fit to change their name to match their flagship software

and released a "Free to Make" model, allowing anyone to download the basic membership to

publish games to iOS.

Unfortunately, the company has since switched to a subscription model that's done away

with inclusivity, but it does offer a short sampling before it starts administering charges.

Today, GameSalad Basic has all the functionality you would expect from the engine, but games

can only be published on their dedicated GameSalad Arcade: a website hosting games produced with

the software and an excellent resource to review what can be done with it.

As their website outlines, the basic membership will run you something vaguely less than seventeen

dollars a month when paid annually.

And we're talking American dollars there.

But for an additional eight dollars, you can gain access to GameSalad Pro, which offers

unrestricted access to all publishing platforms and priority on the technical support queue.

GameSalad also has a curriculum for academic institutions, which it hopes can be a practical

teaching tool for computer science principles.

The price of admission is pretty high, but as an individual, that's not the deal you're

looking for: the free trial for basic is where your attention should go.

Similar to GameMaker Studio, the software is targeted towards folks who are inexperienced

with programming and want to develop mobile and web-based titles through a visual, drag-and-drop

approach.

It's available for Mac and Windows, and has the capacity to publish across iOS, Android,

web and PC if the price is right.

For those who want to step their game up with more advanced functionality, the software

also boasts an expressions editor with a functions library: opening the door for complex behaviour

and math.

If you aren't quite sure what you're doing, their official website has a Cookbook available

that'll share a few recipes.

There's also documentation for folks who want to teach themselves, and tutorials for

those who want to be taught by someone else.

Unless your school is providing access to a subscription through its educational offerings,

GameSalad is a costly call with so many free and permanent licenses available by its competitors,

but since it takes fifteen minutes for a day of the free trial to be exhausted, one could

spend a few years picking away at a game in ten-minute intervals and presumably do it

all for free.

In either case, though, if you decide to check it out, be sure to LETTUCE know how it goes!

✅ Het verhaal van de hond van Meghan Markle is het echte sprookje van de Royal Wedding - Duration: 3:14.

 De Royal Wedding komt dichterbij en het belooft een echt sprookjeshuwelijk te worden

Maar voor het echte sprookje moeten we niet kijken naar de prins en de toekomstige prinses, maar wel naar Guy, het hondje van Meghan, want die heeft een levensverhaal dat leest als een sprookje

 Zaterdag zullen alle ogen van de wereld gericht zijn op de Royal Wedding in Groot-Brittannië, waar prins Harry en Meghan Markle elkaar het jawoord zullen geven

Maar het zal niet alleen voor het koppel een belangrijke dag worden, want ook het leven van Guy, het hondje van Meghan, zal vanaf morgen drastisch veranderen

Asiel Het levensverhaal van Guy, de beagle van Meghan Markle, leest als het sprookje van Assepoester

Het hondje werd ondervoed gevonden in een bos. Nadat het enkele dagen in een asiel in Kentucky verbleef zonder dat het geadopteerd werd, werd de beagle op de euthanasielijst gezet

Toen werd een ander asiel ingeschakeld, dat zich meer dan 800 kilometer verder bevond

 Via een netwerk van vrijwilligers werd Guy van Kentucky naar de Canadese grens vervoerd, waarbij een bestuurder hem telkens voor een uur meenam en dan doorgaf aan de volgende

In het nieuwe asiel was het duidelijk hoe droevig de beagle was. "Hij zat daar met zijn grote trieste beagle-ogen

Hij zag er zo depressief uit", vertelt Dolores Doherty aan The Guardian. Na een dag in het nieuwe asiel mocht hij mee naar een grootschalig adoptie-event in Toronto

Meghan als reddende engel Meghan Markle verbleef toen in Toronto voor de opnames van de reeks Suits

De actrice werd meteen verliefd op de beagle en besloot om hem te adopteren. Meghan doopte hem Guy en de twee zijn sinds 2015 onafscheidelijk

 Toen Meghan naar het Verenigd Koninkrijk verhuisde, ging Guy dan ook met haar mee

En binnenkort zal Guy, wiens verhaal begon als ondervoed en eenzaam hondje, kunnen rondhollen in een echt paleis

Assepoester is er niets tegen. De Royal Wedding is morgen te volgen op Eén vanaf 12 uur en op VTM vanaf 11

45 uur.

"A good education is the most important gift I will ever receive." - Duration: 6:05.

Good evening. My name is Kevin Gonzalez-Bravo. I'm proud to be here tonight as

part of the 40th Prep for Prep contingent, Contingent XL.

This fall I will attend the Fieldston School.

When I first learned about Prep for Prep, I thought I was in deep trouble.

My elementary school counselor Ms. Hughes called me into her office and I immediately

felt my stomach drop. I thought I was a pretty good kid.

I had no idea why she wanted to talk to me,

but I assumed it wasn't good. To my surprise she told me

that my school was nominating me for a rigorous academic program called

Prep for Prep.

Once I realized that I was not in trouble my fear turned to confusion.

I thought to myself, I'm already at a good school, why do I need more school?

However, my counselor and parents told me that if I was accepted, Prep for Prep would

change my life. And they weren't kidding.

I never imagined I'll be standing in

front of over 1,200 people in my first suit, giving a speech.

When my family and I found out I was accepted into Prep, we were ecstatic.

We could not believe that after all those exams and interviews I was selected out

of thousands of applicants. I've always dreamed of going to Princeton and then

becoming a pediatrician, and we knew that Prep would be the

first step to achieving these goals.

My parents emigrated to the United

States from Ecuador in the 1990s.

My father works long hours as a parking lot attendant and my mother cleans houses.

My parents and sister have always done everything they can to ensure

that I receive an excellent education. They always tell me that a

good education is the most important gift I will ever receive.

People often ask me what Prep for Prep is like, and I tell them it feels like a

journey through a long tunnel.

The further I proceeded through the tunnel

the more I realized how hard the journey would be. I felt like I had to carry

an enormous weight on my back - but maybe that's because I carry about 25 pounds

of books in my Prep backpack.

Coming home after that first summer day of classes

my head was full of new information and I was exhausted, so I decided to take a nap.

When I woke up just 20 minutes later and realized how much homework I had,

I learned that there is no time for naps in Prep. By the time I finished my math

homework, it was already 10 o'clock and I hadn't even started my Latin assignment

or the first three chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Like that first night, there have be so many times throughout the last year when I felt tired or I wanted

to give up, but then somewhere along the way I found my footing.

In Prep, I am surrounded by other kids who love school as much as I do.

I knew I found my tribe when one Saturday morning after a math quiz, my friend Jonathan made the

funniest joke about the Pythagorean Theorem.

He made the entire class including the teacher laugh uncontrollably. I know what

you're thinking, what's so funny about the Pythagorean Theorem?

But trust me it felt so good to laugh in a classroom full of like-minded friends, kids who

also chose to replace their Saturday morning cartoons with Saturday morning

math quizzes. Now the light at the end of the tunnel is so close I can almost feel it

shine on my face. After seeing the beautiful Fieldston campus and seeing

students interacting with their teachers and expressing their opinions, I know the

hard work has been worth it.

Since over 100 of you here tonight are Prep alumni, you have experienced how hard

the program is but also can appreciate the great opportunities it has granted you.

Someday I would like to be in your shoes, giving back to a program that over

the last 40 years has changed the lives of thousands of kids like me.

Before Prep, I never thought I could ever go to a school like Fieldston. I never even knew

schools like Fieldston existed, but I now know nothing is out of reach as long as I

continue to work hard and have the Prep Community by my side.

Thank you to my family, to Prep, and to everyone here tonight

for this life-changing opportunity.

Cop who shot and killed black teen is charged with criminal homicide - Duration: 9:41.

A Pennsylvania district attorney says the black teen shot and killed by a white police officer as he fled a traffic stop showed his hands and clearly didn't have a weapon

East Pittsburgh Officer Michael Rosfeld was charged Wednesday with criminal homicide

Records show the 30-year-old gave inconsistent statements about whether he believed 17-year-old Antwon Rose Jr had a gun

 Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala said at a Wednesday morning press conference that 'you do not shoot someone in the back if they are not a threat to you

' Scroll down for video  Zappala says the officer's actions clearly support a third-degree murder conviction but they will ask the jury to consider a full range of charges, including first-degree murder

Zappala says Rosfeld is remorseful. Rosfeld turned himself into authorities around 6:30am, was arraigned at 7:45am, and is currently free after posting $250,000 bond, his attorney said

The district attorney added that Rose had nothing to do with the earlier crime that led to the traffic stop

  Rose was a passenger in a car pulled over by Rosfeld because police said it matched the description of a car wanted in a shooting in a nearby town

As Rosfeld was taking the driver into custody, Rose and a second passenger fled.A video taken from a nearby house shows them running from the car

Three gunshots can be heard, and the passengers can be seen either falling or crouching as they pass between houses

It is unclear from the video if Rosfeld yelled for them to stop. Rose was shot three times

 Authorities said two handguns were retrieved from the car, and District Attorney Stephen Zappala said an empty gun clip was found in Rose's pocket

Lawyers for Rose's family released the following statement on Rosfeld's arraignment

  'The family views the indictment with guarded optimism. We realize that conviction is a long road ahead and it will require our continued advocacy on behalf of Antwon

We echo the sentiments that this officer with a history of violence and a history of manipulating evidence to obscure his violence at previous jobs, there should have been safeguards in place to ensure that he wasn't hired in the first place

Although it feels like we are moving in the direction of justice, the kind of evidence that existed at the time of the shooting, this is justice delayed for the family,' said Lee Merritt, family attorney for Antwon Rose's family

'The Rose Family views the filing of criminal homicide charges with guarded optimism

There is a long road ahead to a conviction and proper sentencing which is the only thing we will accept as justice,' said Antwon Rose family attorneys Fred and Monte Rabner

Rosfeld has been on administrative leave since the shooting occurred. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next White woman, 38, is arrested for 'racially-abusing and

 He also said he's stayed away from watching news reports and was not aware of the bystander video posted to social media

Rosfeld was sworn in as a officer in the East Pittsburgh PD just 90 minutes before the shooting, but had been working for the department for approximately three weeks

He had worked as a cop in various other departments in the area since 2011.  Rose's mother, Michelle Kenney, told ABC News in an interview over the weekend that Rosfeld 'murdered my son in cold blood

''If he has a son, I pray his heart never has to hurt the way mine does,' she said

'But I think he should pay for taking my son's life.'The case is among several across the country in recent years that have ignited a national debate over race and policing

 Kenney, who held a Bible in her lap with a piece of paper and the words 'My Son' attached, was joined by her partner Antwon Rose Sr

At one point, he held Kenney as she sobbed into his arms. Antwon Rose Sr. said he saw the video of his son being gunned down before he even realized who the victim was

'I never thought that was my son,' he said.Kenney told ABC: 'A cop killed him. The same person that should have protected him, the same person who I taught my son to respect and always have the most respect for, never be disrespectful, murdered my son

'She said that her son, who she called 'My Baby', had traveled around the world and taught himself how to ski and play hockey

He dreamed of one day becoming a chemical engineer, she said.  'I knew Antwon was destined for greatness,' she added

Kenney said the shooting was even more tragic because she had always taught her son to have the utmost respect for the law and police

Civil rights attorney S Lee Merritt, who is representing Antwon's family, said he does not see justification for the use of deadly force by the rookie cop against the teen

Merritt said the teen was unarmed and did not pose an immediate threat.There have been large protests over Rose Jr's death, including outside Allegheny courthouse on Thursday

Nearly 1,100 people turned up decrying police use of force and gun violence as others held signs that read: 'Justice for Antwon

'
