Waching daily Jul 2 2018

Hi, I'm Girls With Heart Ambassador Juliet,

and I'm getting ready to go to camp.

Today, I'm going to show you how I pack for camp.

First is hair, when you're in the morning,

after the shower or even before you go to bed,

it's good to brush your hair or

do it, so first is a wet brush

the second is Justice Shine detangler.

It's good to use after the shower,

especially 'cause you swimming a lot at camp.

Then next thing you need is a water bottle.

Everybody knows the summer's hot.

So what better way is a watermelon water bottle?

Next thing we need is a Justice hat.

Because in the summer boy it's

sunny, need to protect your eyes.

Next thing is a backpack because sometimes you're

going around camp you need to carry

some thing like maybe a brush for

after swimming or an extra pair of clothes.

See what it looks like we need to put some items in.

Panda journal,

detangler after you swim because your hair gets knotty.

Brush, to brush the knots out.

And that's what it looks like.

Another cute blanket, except this

one has a hood, some arms, and it's a panda.

Now it's time for the most important

thing of the day: your outfit.

Next thing you need for camp is some cute pajamas.

And what's better than a stuffed animal in your pajama?

Another thing you need a lot of are bathing suits.

I started going to summer camp when I was four,

this year will be my sixth year.

For four years, I went to day camp.

Last year was my first year sleeping there

from Monday to Thursday, going home Friday night.

My favorite thing about summer camp is being

with my friends and doing all the fun activities like

swimming and soccer, arts and crafts, ga-ga.

And I can't wait to get to camp.

Thank for watching, don't forget to subscribe

to watch more Justice videos like this one.

You will shop at Justice and will subscribe to our channel.

Go find camp stuff, oh you're looking very shoppy.

Can't wait to go to camp.

Hope you have a good summer, bye.

How To Write Unit Tests For Unity ECS Code - Duration: 10:17.

Automated testing is a tricky subject to cover, especially in game development.

Some developers swear by writing automated tests while others think it's a complete

waste of time.

That is not what this video is about.

In this video I'm simply gonna show you how I write tests for Unity ECS code.

Now, bear in mind that Unity ECS is still in its infancy, so some of the code here is

subject change.

Well, without further ado, let's get right into the example.

This video assumes that you have a basic understanding of Unity ECS.

If you don't, you should check out my video called "What is Unity ECS?".

That should get you on the right track.

To keep this video as simple as possible, we'll be writing tests for a system that

comes prepackaged with Unity ECS.

Let's press play now and use the entity debugger to check out Unity's built-in systems

so we can get a better idea of what we'll need to get started.

Without writing any code, Unity has already generated a world for us called "Default

World", and populated it with a number of systems.

Clicking on a particular system within the entity debugger reveals what kind of entities

it operates on.

The one that we'll be testing in this video is the MoveForwardSystem.

Systems operate selectively on a subset of entities based on their components.

The move forward system operates on all entities that match either one of the following component

archetypes.

The first consists of the MoveForward, MoveSpeed, Position, and Rotation components.

And the second consists of the MoveForward, MoveSpeed, Position, and Heading components.

The Rotation and Heading components are used to represent the forward vector of the entity.

The MoveSpeed component is used to determine how fast the entity should move forward.

And the MoveForward component simply acts as a tag.

During each frame the MoveForwardSystem calculates a new value for each entity's Position component

using the entity's forward vector and speed.

This causes the entity to, well, move forward.

Our tests will focus on entities with the second archetype.

To get started let's create a folder to hold our tests.

I'll call it "Tests".

Next let's create an assembly definition file that we can use to define how our tests

should be compiled.

I'll call this "Tests" too so it matches the folder name.

Now we need to make sure it's configured as a test assembly so Unity doesn't include

it in any of the player builds.

We can do this by clicking on the assembly file and toggling the "Test Assemblies"

checkbox in the inspector.

Because these will be editor tests, we'll want to make sure that this assembly is only

included in the editor.

So scroll down to platforms, toggle the "Select All" checkbox, uncheck "Any Platform",

and then toggle the checkbox next to "Editor".

We're almost ready to write some code.

We just need to include a few assemblies so they'll be available to our test classes.

The assemblies we need are Unity.Entities

Unity.Entities.Test Unity.Mathematics

And Unity.Transforms.

Now we're ready to write our first test!

Create a class called "MoveForwardSystemTests" and open it in your IDE now.

I've cleared out all of the boilerplate code that's created by Unity so we can have

a clean starting point.

The first thing we'll want to do is mark this class with the TestFixture attribute

since it'll be holding multiple tests.

Now we can leverage a special test fixture class that's included in the Unity.Entities.Tests

package.

The ECSTestFixture generates a test world and an entity manager, and stores them in

protected field variables that we can use throughout our tests.

The last thing we should do before we write our first test is add a category to the test

fixture.

This'll allow us to filter the test runner so it'll be easier to find our tests.

Now we can write our first test.

This one will be base case that we'll use to get us started.

I'll call it "when move speed equals zero then entity doesn't move".

There are dozens of naming conventions for tests, so if this one doesn't float your

boat go ahead and call it whatever you'd like.

Now let's go ahead and create an entity using the archetype we saw earlier.

Again, this variable, m_Manager, is provided by the base class.

It holds an instance of the entity manager that belongs to the test world.

Our entity will should have the following components.

MoveForward, MoveSpeed, Position, and Heading.

Now let's give our entity's components some values so it's clear what this method

is testing.

Remember, this is a base case so all of the values should be set to zero.

Alright, we've completed the "arrange" step of our test.

Now we can act on our system by using the World variable, which comes from the base

class and holds an instance of the test world, to create a move forward system and call it's

Update method.

Now we can assert that that entity hasn't moved by checking its current position.

Perfect!

Our first test is complete.

Let's switch back to the editor and run it.

Beautiful.

Now we can switch back to the IDE and write one more test.

This one will test actual forward movement.

I'll call it "when move speed equals one then entity moves forward."

And I'm just going to copy and paste code from our base case test.

We want to test forward movement so the first thing we need to change is the move speed.

I'll set it equal to one, just like the name implies.

Now we need to give our entity a direction to move in.

I'll initialize the Heading component so the entity moves along the x axis.

Lastly we need to update our assert.

Since the entity should now be moving along the x-axis at a rate of one unit per second,

and the the move forward system uses delta time to calculate position, we know that the

value of x should be equal to delta time.

And that's all there is to it.

Let's switch back to the editor and re-run the tests.

Beautiful.

Maxine TRIPLES DOWN and Calls For MORE Violence Against the Trump Administration - Duration: 2:13.

Maxine TRIPLES DOWN and Calls For MORE Violence Against the Trump Administration

Clearly, the gloves are off and the Democrat Party will not be happy until someone is kil*ed

over voting for President Trump in the 2016 election.

Maxine Waters, who called for attacks on President Trump's officials and supporters, is now

tripling down on that call to violence, by claiming the American people want Democrats

to be forceful and confrontational.

That's absolutely not true.

As a matter of fact, polling shows Americans are FEARFUL that Democrats will start a "civil

war" or someone will get seriously hurt or kil*ed by an emotionally unstable Democrat.

Why on earth is this lunatic allowed to serve the people of the United States, at the same

time she's calling to attack us?

From Breitbart

Sunday on MSNBC's "AM Joy," Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) said the protest over the weekend

about President Donald Trump's immigration policies prove "the people" wanted Democrats

to be "more forceful" and "more confrontational" with regards to their opposition.

Waters said, "Well, let me just tell you this, first of all, the people of this country,

no matter Republican or Democrat, do not like the idea that children have been separated.

Republicans are making a mistake thinking they can hold on to that constituency, that

so-called belongs to Donald Trump.

On this issue, Republicans and Democrats, Independents alike are opposed to what is

going on.

And yes, people do want to see us being stronger and more forceful and to confront them on

these policies."

She continued, "And I'm hopeful that even Democrats having seen the kind of outpouring

of protests over 700 incidences of protests this weekend, seeing that they will be more

forceful, more confrontational and more prepared to push back on this administration.

I think that the people are showing them, this-this is what they would have us do."

DATA GEMS: How Do I Get Business Data for my Location? - Duration: 2:23.

[MUSIC]

Hi, my name is Eric Coyle.

And today I'd like to share a great feature of the Census Business Builder for entrepreneurs

and small business owners out there, that want to very easily learn how to access information

based on their location.

So, here we are on Census Business Builder, Small Business Edition 2.2.

The first step is to select an industry.

You can either choose from the icons you see listed or go ahead and type in an industry

title, a keyword, or NAICS code.

Let's go ahead and choose from construction; once you click on that icon, you'll get a

listing of sub-sectors based on that main industry.

So, we can go ahead and select "Drywall," and once we make our selection, then we can

simply click on "My Location," or we can type in a state, county, city, town, or zip code.

By clicking on the "My Location" feature, you will then be prompted to allow or deny

access to your location.

By allowing access, you will then get a listing of geographies based on your current location.

So, let's go ahead and select the "Census Tract," this is the lowest level of geography

that data is available in the Census Business Builder.

We can then, once we make a selection of our geography, either go to a map or create a

report.

Let's go to the map.

Now that we're on the map, you can instantly see data available for that geographic location

that we selected.

The default is going to be the total population, but you can easily change the variables by

selecting other topics that you see listed here.

You can also change your geography, simply by clicking on the geographic areas next to

the one that we've selected.

So, I hope you enjoyed that quick tutorial on Census Business Builder.

coming and i'm going to turn it over to our amazing number one top-notch

business professor team

Thank You dr. Bali for those opening remarks we truly appreciate it you're

busy and we truly appreciate the inspiration that you're given our

students right now just to introduce myself my name is Nick Carbonaro I'm a

professor in the business department along with dr. Sandra O'Toole we are

both advisors to the Long Beach City College Business Club and the event that

you're seeing today was a hundred percent put on by our business club

students so the decorations the tables the every logistics portion of this

event was put on by our business club students and so that's the point of what

we try to accomplish wit with students entering the Lumbee City College

Business Club so if you are a business major and you are not part of a business

are not part of the team not part of the Business Club it's very easy to join you

go to our website lbcc biz club comm sign up on our mailing list and then

show up to our meetings once a week for an hour during your in-between classes

so you really get the opportunity to put on events like this to do fundraising in

philanthropy and so before we before I introduce some of the people that made

this possible part of our Executive Board leadership team I just want to

kind of show you the layout of what we have in this room so after after our

presentations you can check it out over to your right my left in the very back

corner we have all the information regarding the business department so if

you're not a business major or even if you are a business major and you want to

know about transfer options class schedules anything like that we we have

that over there available for you we have coffee and water in the back for

you as well in the far right corner my right corner we have our fundraising

fundraising merchandise that we have put on throughout the entire semester so

hopefully you've seen them around we created six different designs of Oly the

viking stickers and 10% of all the proceeds that you donate go to the Child

Development Center right down the street so incorporating a business aspect along

with philanthropy and just creating a better community for everybody else so

if you donate two dollars we give you an Olli sticker if you do if you donate $10

we'll give you a pack of six and we're also

for our shirts as well we have $10 strictly business and driven shirts back

there so you donate ten dollars you get a free shirt from the Long Beach City

College Business Club and then as you leave the as you leave this event right

up right outside and you probably saw it while while you were waiting in that

little mixer at 9:40 before the event started cengage publishing was out there

and they were they were so graciously to come and give you the students the

opportunities see their course offerings for the for the following semesters they

got a great new product that they're launching called cengage unlimited and

as a personal finance instructor myself I'm looking for the best options for my

students - to save a buck here in there so go out there check them out see see

what it's all about but before we before we get into the event I want to bring up

two people that were really really we're the driving force behind this event they

put a lot of time a lot of effort into a lot of logistics into it and so I'm

going to bring up the chairs of the aim for success event we have a seat lolly

and Leo as well so they're gonna both come up all right Thank You professor

Carbonaro for that warm introduction and thank you to our fellow students and

administration from not only our school but local colleges were showing up just

to reiterate what aim for success stands for is achieve inspire and motivate and

we all hope that today will do just that with finals coming up we both know how

hard it is and how stressful we could get no matter what major you are but

just try to sit back relax and let the speaker's inspire and motivate you to

achieve your goals honestly we should speak at commencement for universities

all right hotshot don't get too carried away fine so enough of us please

everyone give a warm welcome to the one and only dr. Atul who we'd honestly

built be so completely lost without

thank you I also want Joe civ Golub and Alicia rubbles where are you to stand up

they were instrumental also in putting this event together

it's so wonderful to see a full house I'm sure the extra credit helps as well

but I also I know that there's a former there's two former presidents I'll

introduce the first but I know that Marcos as Marcos is here he's a former

business club president sir well I'm so honored to introduce our first speaker

this wonderful person is a Long Beach City College alum and one of my absolute

favorite students hands down not that I don't love all of you

Marina was the president of business club while she was here at City College

and she is the actual creator and founder of this event that we're all

getting to share today so it's really incredible what she has put together and

left a footprint for all of us to enjoy for years to come

she is an amazing young lady I believe I know her she's gonna achieve anything

she sets her mind to she's smart she's kind she's creative truly authentic she

has a love for learning and an incredible zest to just enjoy life

currently she's earning her bachelor's at Pepperdine University and let me just

tell you something I miss her so much in my class but I hope she knows that she

has truly inspired and motivated me to be a better professor and I'm so

grateful to her for that when I think about her I just know this the sky's the

limit for this amazing incredible young lady and I know you will all agree when

we hear her speak that reaching for your personal aim is not out of reach for

anybody she really is someone special I hope you take the time to get to meet

her when we do our question and answers and I just feel extremely blessed to be

a little part of her journey and proudly introduce the one and only

marina yet so that was really nice I was nervous enough but she hyped me up

so guys I'm marina like she said I was the creator of this event I used to be

the president of business club this event actually came to me one night I

was watching a bunch of TED talks and I just stayed up all night till 5:00 in

the morning and then I came to school I'm so excited I told all the Finn's

Club we're gonna do a TED event here Ted turned me down they didn't want to come

to lbcc so we made our own but yeah so actually when Sandra asked me to speak a

couple of weeks ago I said yes automatically because I love business

club obviously I love aim for success and then I stepped back and a couple

days ago I was like what am I gonna say to them I was so nervous and I still am

really nervous because right now I'm in like a transition period I am about to

enter my last year of college and I don't really know exactly what I want to

do anymore after college and I have a rough idea but it's nothing as clear as

when I left lbcc a couple years ago so it's strange speaking to you at an event

called aim for success when I personally don't necessarily know what I'm aiming

for right now and to be honest I woke up a couple hours ago and I still didn't

know what to say I wrote all of this down literally 7:30 in the morning this

event starts at 10:00 and it just came to me you know I woke up and I was like

I just need to follow my intuition believe in myself and be myself because

those are the things that got me to Pepperdine in the first place so my

story is I used to be a college dropout and the thing is my freshman year of

college I moved to San Diego I decided to go to college immediately after high

school because that's what everybody does that's what my family did that's

what my friends were doing so I went part of me knew I wasn't ready but I

just went anyway turns out going to college still

made me hate school just as much as I hate it in high school so I get to San

Diego I didn't like school and I didn't like it enough to stop showing up to

classes that better okay I stopped showing up to my classes in

San Diego I didn't care enough to drop them so I ended up failing some of them

I liked one of them enough to kind of get a passing grade long story short it

led me to having a 0.36 GPA no one even knew that was possible to have a zero in

front of your GPA and the only reason the thirty-six was in there was because

I kind of liked my Spanish class enough to try so so naturally honestly I

dropped out at the end of it I wasn't gonna do something that I wasn't

passionate about I wasn't gonna do something that I was clearly failing at

in the moment so I left San Diego and for a reason I still don't know to this

day something pushed me to move to Las Vegas

honestly when people ask me why did that I looked at a map and I was just looking

at major cities and I thought I like Las Vegas when I was little so let's go I

went I knew one person in Las Vegas she helped me get a job planning events and

weddings I was a wedding planner for a year and I was so happy and I was so

content and I thought I was gonna live in Las Vegas forever and I was gonna do

that forever but again another day I woke up and I didn't want to do that

anymore something told me I wanted a little bit

more something told me I didn't want to live in Las Vegas forever so I followed

my intuition and two days after deciding that I was gonna leave Las Vegas I left

came back home to Long Beach and I knew that it was going to be my chance to

start over kind of press the restart button and yeah I just moved cities

again and this brought me to sign up for summer classes at LBCC I figured let's

give school a try I'm gonna do it so I'm looking at the register for classes I'm

looking at what I want to do and I see something pop up I was like okay I'm

remotely interested in business so I'm gonna check out the business classes

business law pops up

sign and you know dr. Sandra Toole teaches business law so I look at this

I'm like okay professor Sandro Toole didn't know anything about her and that

but I heard business hot and like I was I liked business and in my mind

literally I was like okay I like business and I loved Legally Blonde so

let's let's try business law and that's exactly what got me to sign up for it so

I did couple weeks later school is starting I'm in the parking lot right

here by the tennis courts and I'm sitting in my car and I had just got

into school I was a little bit early so I had time to back out you know I had

time to contemplate it was the first day of summer classes and I could have just

left if I wanted to and I was actually physically pulling my car out of the

spot and then I looked down I look at my cup holder and there was a green tea

latte that I just bought from Starbucks that morning and I was like am I really

gonna waste this I already bought it I already tried to wake myself up and I

drank some of it so let's just pull back into the parking spot check out if we

like the professor and we'll see if that will get me to stay in this class and

stay in school so then that like that green tea latte pushed me to get up get

out of my car go into the class I met Sandra O'Toole I fell in love with

business law and I I figured out that Sandra and I were

basically the same person it helps me stay in school you know to meet someone

that believed in me more than I believed in myself at the time and I found out

that I could really enjoy school and then after that obviously you know the

story I stayed I created business club when it didn't even exist obviously see

anymore made myself president because they had no choice since I created and

then we created things like this we created an for success I ended up

joining academic Honor Society like I think the one here is Phi Theta Kappa

and then eventually as you know I transferred to Pepperdine University

where I am right now the takeaway from that story is that

clearly like success is within your reach and that part of you that will

drive you to the end and what you feel is your definition of success it's

already in you it was in me and like I attribute it to

that little moment with my Starbucks drink but it was already in me I already

knew that there was part of me that wanted to be better and wanted to do

better and I just needed some little push to get there so like it's why

you're here at this event I know that you're getting extra credit but no one

forces you to come to school no one forces you to come to things like this

so you already know that part of you wants to be better than what you like to

do better than what you're doing now

there are amazing like clubs like business club there's amazing professors

I didn't go about this alone that's another thing that I realized keeping

people around you that believed in you more than you believe in yourself is a

really big thing to push you forward and but then at the end of the day you have

to believe in your own self if I can go from having a 0.36 GPA to having a 4.0

at Pepperdine University if I can do that with just a little bit of intuition

and a green tea latte I think you can too thank you

thank you so much marina now you know why she is so special I'm confident

we'll we will we will continue to be inspiring you with our next presenter

well good morning everyone thank you for taking some time to hear from me this

morning it's actually my honor and my privilege to be here and I'm grateful

that Professor O'Toole reached out to me she did reach out to me while we were on

a boat in the middle of the water so I didn't have too many options to say no

so she's very smart she knows where to get her speakers and how to exert

influence so let that be a lesson to you if you want something get them from

someone get them out on a boat but I will tell you that I I really enjoy

talking to students and talking to the youth it's probably one of the best

things for me to do because of my own personal journey and I'm gonna share

that with you a little bit because it's I hope it serves as a source of

inspiration for you so that as you're sitting here today you can think about

your own individual skills your own individual areas of opportunity for

growth and think about the person that you want to be not just next year or in

the next three to four years but where you see yourself ten years from now 15

years from now what look what impact do you feel you're gonna have in the world

around you and that was a conversation I really

never had with myself I was born in the United States but my parents are Iranian

so when I was a baby we moved back to Iran and in 1979 my mother and I left

the country amidst an Islamic Revolution and we left my sister and my father

behind I didn't see them for 21 years and I was raised here in America with my

mom and learned how to speak English at the age of seven and because of this

kind of unusual childhood I got into a stage when I was in high school where I

I entered my own personal pity party which was so enjoyable I decided to stay

there for four years and every time something didn't work out for me my

excuse was well if only had a sister I'd be able to manage the

situation better if only my father if only I had a father in my life I

wouldn't have this problem or that problem and I would look around me and

see everybody else who seemed to have these nuclear families with a lot of

resources and I just got myself my mental state in a place where I felt

like I wasn't capable of having the things opportunities that other people

had because of my life circumstance I had a mom who was a nurse worked two

jobs to really get a career in America and you know not only did she you know

she passed all her board exams and everything to be a nurse here she ended

up retiring with over 40 years as a worker at the age of 68 from the LA

Unified School District as the director of the nursing program there having 300

nurses working under her and helping so many other immigrant women from Iran who

came here learned to pass the exam and so that was my source of inspiration and

my grandmother was a single working mom at a time when women didn't even work

right so for some reason I lost sight of that when I was in high school I lost

sight of how your own personal success has everything to do with what you're

willing to put into it things don't just happen for you for most of us things

don't just happen for us opportunities don't just present themselves on our

doorstep if you're anything like me you have to make your own opportunities you

know we didn't have things handed to us when I was growing up my mom and I

worked for every single thing we have and it took me to get to the bottom for

me to realize what my true potential is and sometimes that's the beauty of life

right as painful as it is it's not until you reach your lowest point whether

personally or in a relationship where you realize sometimes you have to get to

the bottom before you can build back up to who you are and that's what happened

to me I graduated high school with a very low GPA I really don't know how it

is that I got accepted into Cal State Long Beach I think they made a major

admissions in the state I really do but I'm not challenging it

at this point I also am suspect that I actually passed the bar but they say I

did so I'm not asking any questions but um I joined you know I I went to Long

Beach State and honestly it was it sounds hokey but it was where I found my

wings and I realized I could fly and I never knew that before

and it had to do with the faculty that I encountered and the friends that I have

surrounded myself with I decided that rather than trying to fit in to groups

where I clearly didn't fit in which is what I was trying to do in high school I

would instead try to find a place where people liked me for who I was and I

would try to find a place where I fit in just being Who I am and it's amazing

that that decision by me empowered me to live a life that I never thought I would

have had so when I got to Long Beach State I had this amazing faculty and

support I made friends with people who still are in my life today who believed

in me who each had their own personal struggle or journey

it's amazing you surround you tend to surround yourself with people that are

like you in some way and that really gave me the foundation for everything

that that I was able to do after that and a few years ago when I ran for

office you know the position running for office by the way is really not a

glamorous thing it's awful it really is running for officers very little upside

to it other than you get opportunities like this so that in ten years some of

you might say you know what I heard from this council lady once who really her

life was going nowhere and she turned it around and that inspired me to make my

own good decisions okay so those are the benefits of public office is that people

invite you and you get opportunities to get to encourage people to be their very

best because had I not done that you may not want to be hearing from me today if

I hadn't turned my own life around but running for office is really like

standing up in front of a crowd of people naked every flaw you've ever had

people will point out and they'll point it out on social media

oh she has frizzy hair you know whatever they will point it out and you start to

learn a lot about yourself and you start to learn that in order for

you to be successful and you know I'm 45 years old this is a lesson I wish I

would have known when I was the age of most of you when you start to identify

who you really are you can find out what are your strengths

what are your weaknesses because we all have them

what are your emotional triggers what is it that you hear that causes you to not

be your very best that causes you to doubt yourself that causes you to

question yourself that cut what is it and how can you change that thinking in

your head to be the very best that you can be and for me you know I didn't want

to run for office I was afraid I was afraid of failure I was afraid of losing

I was afraid that people would point things out very publicly that I know

about myself that that would be hurtful or that they would point things out that

aren't true that would be hurtful I was afraid of all of that but I decided that

if I was gonna reach for my very best and be the person that I want to be I

needed to step out of my comfort zone and so I each of you to do that when the

position came up in our district I was really active in my kids PTA and a group

of the mom said you know you did such a great job with the school option you

should run for City Council as if there's any relationship between the two

but within my own community I was being thought of as a leader and I thought

about the people who had served in my position for decades before me and they

didn't look like me they didn't have my life story

they had way more financial assets than I do and I thought to myself why

shouldn't a working mom who immigrated to this country have the opportunity

to sit at the policy table just like everyone else why why do I have to have

policies made for me by someone who has no idea what my life is like that's not

okay with me I'm gonna run for office so that I have a position to say things

like you know what for working moms we need services open on Sundays because

that's the only time we can take our kids to benefit from city services you

know what we need more crosswalks we need more this we need more female

friendly policies in the workplace I wanted to have that voice and so I did

it and my husband actually said to me you know what don't worry about losing

you know it's gonna be embarrassing and all that you probably will lose nobody

knows who you are you're probably lose but let's just do it anyway and you can

decide if you even like the election process and you know we put it out there

and put our heart and soul out there and we won at the primary election which was

historical for the city because there were five people in the race no one had

ever won a primary outright with five people in the race in the history of the

city it had never happened so my reason for telling you that is sometimes if

you're willing to step outside of your comfort zone and give it all you have

with your full authenticity and everything you have to bring to the

table amazing things can happen and it's not always everything is wonderful it's

not that everything about you that you're bringing is positive that's not

the case I'm a human being I have flaws just like everyone but I have strengths

too and so do each and every one of you and I know what my strengths are and I'm

gonna use those to make the world around me better that is my commitment to

myself so ask yourself do you have a strength is there something about you

that your friends and your family say I love this about you because it makes me

feel great is it how you talk is it how you listen

is it how you advocate is it your loyalty is it your passion is that your

commitment is that your follow-through is it that you're willing to work hard

what is it about you that makes you special identify that and from there

step outside of your comfort zone and take it a step further because honestly

I stand here to tell you anything is possible

it really is after the last election again we won by ridiculously high

margins just a couple of weeks ago historical margins okay and after that I

started to get all these calls from people what are you gonna run for next

we want to support you for this position for that position and I'm thinking I'm

still not even sure I wanted to run for the position I just got elected for

really and so opportunities present themselves

that you never thought would when you're your own authentic self making yourself

present in the moment with all of your strengths out there chart your own

journey whatever that journey is each and every one of you can do amazing

things and I don't say that to pump you up I say it because it's true so thank

you guys and if any of you ever want to reach out to me you want an internship

either at the DA's office or in my council office please give me a call you

can just google my name you can find me I'm now a supervisor at the DA's office

and I run a whole courthouse so I'm happy to take on anyone who wants to

think about go to law school you want to come and do some really boring work with

me for a while because we don't give the exciting work to the interns I'm gonna

be honest with you but you want to come an intern and learn the business or you

think you want to be in politics and you want to learn the work give me a call we

will find a place for you okay

thank you once again a Councilwoman price we truly appreciate you know I

know you're busy but inspiring motivating it's very very good I

appreciate it thank you so much so far we've heard from a former student right

we've heard from a former student at Long Beach City College we've heard from

somebody within the community making a difference for you as citizens of Long

Beach and community and going to school here at Long Beach City College and the

next the next speaker that's gonna come up here is is actually really really

true to my heart um professor Russ Arslan taught at Long

Beach City College for 40 years and he started at 20 years old right teaching

economics he was my economics professor for both macro and micro economics so

it's still a little difficult when you know after you graduate and you have a

former professor say oh no just call me Russ right it's - no it's still the

titles professor arsal and so it's it's it's there so professor are so since

since he's since he's he's actually been more busy actually since he retired from

a Long Beach City College he's an author he's I just found out this morning he's

an inventor so that's that's amazing and he's a he's a consultant and he does a

lot of philanthropy as well during when I was in school after I graduated from

Long Beach City College and transferred up to USC he mentored me he gave me

internship type of opportunities and really honestly one of the nicest guys

I've ever met in my life so without further ado I want a rest to come up

here and and motivate you just like he motivated myself when I was in your seat

I'd like to thank all of you excuse my voice and all I can think Nick and

Sondra I really haven't been back on the campus for many years I tend to feel

that your world should always get bigger and after I left teaching I wanted to do

other things I've realized a couple hard act to follow because everybody's so

exuberant things so enthusiastic about being here I want to try to give you a

path or at least have you think about a path towards success I feel that success

is the ability to overcome and have some direction over your environment because

most of us find out during life there's a lot of problems because things are

bigger than our ability to solve them so I think what you should do is put

yourself in a position to at least have some say relative to your future

relative to the present but I feel that everything you should you should not

only be based upon your thoughts your desires and your whims and Will's

it should encompass other people I think success and I've kind of written it down

is a whole package it's the ability to control your

environment it's the ability to have some say in societal types of endeavors

it's an emotional success that you have and it's a financial success I also

believe in the phraseology it's the whole package then when I meet you or

when I see you you have to be exemplary because if you want to be successful

it's a long hard I'm gonna call it a road it's a direction you have to take

today because of complexity and our sophisticated society is I don't really

believe you can do it on your own I think you need a mentor or a shepherd

and I think you should be like a sponge at your age you should walk into a

classroom and see a saundra or a Nick and realize that they're there for you

this for them is their life's work to help you and Shepherds like that can

make you a better person I want you to be a better person not just for yourself

but for the people around you everything you were involved in I'm going to call

it a productivity but their stakeholders what

you do affects other people if you own a business you sell a product to the

community is it a good product is it a good product for the community you have

people that work for you if you're a business there are different types of

things in terms of your relationship to the government you have relationships

with shareholders you have relationships with yourself and your family and

financial obligations I want you to put these things in a context of you are not

the center of the world what you do spreads out to other people I want you

to work in every day you go to work and I want you to be a citizen and every day

you're a citizen it's gonna be a masterpiece because you can't do

yesterday over all you can do is make today better and I really believe that I

want when you walk out of this room not because of me but because of the program

when you walk out of the room you're taller than you were before you have

better posture you had a great experience that says I want to carry

this on to other people and I really believe that in my heart I taught here

for 40 years and I loved every day of it it was great

I love coming to work I love the young people that I was with and I realized

after I retired I got more from the people that were my students than they

got from me because they forced me to be young they forced me to think in

collective terms that I'm not the center of the world the world's bigger than me

and we all have to work together to solve problems now I've used the word

problems because life is problem after problem and it's how you solve it and I

really tend to think that most people give up too soon I think if you're going

to be successful you always would be the first person to work be the last person

to leave I think you should realize that you can't give up too soon most of us

give up right at the very end and one more step you be successful by giving up

when you do you fail and my definition of failure is making your world smaller

not having the ability to help people that are around you now I have a lot of

different thoughts and some people embrace some you won't

but I tend to think there's a hierarchy and there's a hierarchy of a group that

you're in if you look at your friends and I'll just say there's ten of you one

of you was exemplary it's at the top one of you is at the bottom you fall in

there what I would like you to do is self evaluate and ask yourself where you

fall who you are why you're 1 or why you're 10 if you're 1 you want to be 10

if you're 10 you don't want to fall well what's really interesting to me is this

any group that you go to you'll be at the same position if you leave here and

go to Cal State Long Beach which is the four-year institution that grants

bachelor's degrees and this is the two-year institution and it doesn't

you'll be at the same point if you leave Cal State Long Beach which is just an

average school in the United States and go to Harvard or Stanford or MIT you'll

be at the same point so my suggestion is always aim for the highest what your

aspirations are should always be greater than your ability to reach pal State

Long Beach is a great school I taught there for 35 years that was a member of

the faculty here and a member of the faculty there what makes it a school

that's not as good as Stanford or not as good as Harvard is the students that go

there worked harder at Stanford and Harvard their world is bigger they see

more things my suggestion to you is make your world bigger Long Beach is a great

place that Washington DC is better working here and we'll say Starbucks is

great but working in a place that's bigger that does more for the community

is even better I want you to strive for more I want

your world to always increase in size and one of the problems that you have is

this it's a complacency you think well you know if I work hard

I'll get someplace see how other people work see what they do see what they have

and that's why I think a mentor or a sponsor is so important because they

will make the world look different to you than what you see because they have

better visions they have more things now kind of an interesting

aside and we all have stories to tell this was a couple years ago we were

flying back from Cairo Egypt to the United States because I do some business

in Cairo I do some uh strategic consulting for a couple people in the

Parliament there and to make a long story short some young man was sitting

next to me on the plane and he was dressed up in a suit and it was late in

the spring and it was really hot and I couldn't imagine some kid dressed up in

a suit then I looked around the plane and there were probably ten guys in

suits than young men probably 15 young women dressed up very nicely on a plane

and you never see that anymore so I started talking to the young man my wife

and I were talking to him and he said excuse me I have to talk to and the name

was mrs. Burnett to see if she will allow me to talk to you so she comes up

and introduces herself she ran a program in New York City for disadvantaged kids

and the kids came from homes that were broken the kids came from homes that you

and I could not comprehend how bad they were what horrible situations they lived

in every one of these kids had there were garments to school everyday that

were similar they had uniforms to wear they couldn't miss school no matter what

if they missed one day they were out of the program your graduating class and

most of the kids were on the plane was 34 kids 33 of them had scholarships and

scholarships to major schools most of these kids were taking classes physics

calculus two or three different languages they were pushed to places

they couldn't comprehend when they were younger when they didn't have a sponsor

when they didn't have someone that cared for them so I'm talking to this young

man and he just came back from Egypt and he's like 17 years old and she comes up

and she says we're gonna have to do some things and he was gonna leave and go sit

with the other students and so I said to her it's really nice for you to bring

the kids to Egypt she said wealthy kids have advantages

and what I try to do is I want to make sure that my kids can be on par with

them they considered a table and they will have an expiry

somebody else might not have I never want my kids to be disadvantaged because

their world is too small so my suggestion to you find a mentor find a

sponsor find a NIC or Sondra it will help you some give you some guidance be

humble listen to them don't think you know everything because your age you're

extremely bright for you to be here you're in the top two or three percent

of this college look around there's nobody else on this campus you are

exemplary young people but what you don't have is experience so my

suggestion is find that mentor find someone you can trust

find someone that will be a parent to you find someone they can give you a

path or direction to be successful so you can control your environment not

only to help yourselves but help others and make other people better in society

oops there goes my water that I spilt I apologize have a very nice afternoon

it's been a pleasure to be

grateful I'm one of them our next presenter is Jim Kanab and I

want to tell you a little bit a little background about him Jim was an

outstanding athlete from Lakewood High School so he's local here and actually

just found out that he took some courses at City College so that there's a lot of

community involvement here he then went on to Long Beach State and was a top

American pole vaulter and a finalist in the 1976 Olympics before a 1978 traffic

accident left him paralyzed before the 1980 Olympic Games he turned his

depression and suicidal descent into a true raging passion to become an athlete

once again with the aid of the very dear friend of his his name is bud Harris

he's no longer with us he was a brilliant paralyzed War veteran Jim

helped create the first professional sport for the handicapped which was

wheelchair racing and guess what Jim Kanab became wheelchair Racing's

greatest champion ever so we were just so thrilled that he's here after setting

a wheelchair marathon world record at night

1882 the Boston Marathon he went on to win four more world titles in the early

1980s and 1990s Jim held the world record in absolutely every single race

distance from 5,000 meters to the marathon Jim's is an alum of the

Lakewood High School I graduated in 1974 correct where he was inducted to the

youth Hall of Fame in 1991 and Jim was also inducted in 1990 to the Hall of

Fame at Long Beach State Jim was an active national motivational speaker for

many years with several different organizations but enjoyed working

primarily with youth that was his focus we are so grateful he's here today to

share his personal Ames story with us and it's my absolute genuine pleasure to

introduce a true champion Jim cannot

thank you I hope this is working okay and you can hear me I got to let you

know first of all I'm running on about two hours sleep because I put together

this PowerPoint all week and then last night my computer crashed so I had to

recreate it all from scratch in a short period of time so I hope this works and

unfortunately I have to be able to see some bullet points on the screen so I'll

probably turn my back to you a little bit I apologize for that

right off the bat I want to thank you all for being here hopefully I can you

know give you some words of encouragement and you can learn

something from my journey I want to thank Sandro tool I'm sorry professor

Sandra for inviting me here today she's been a great friend for a long time and

and just a joy to know so let me get started yep I'm from Lakewood born and

raised here and Lakewood Long Beach area and when I was born I weighed just over

a pound I'm a twin and when my sister came out first and then they went hold

on there's one more in there they said we don't think he's gonna

survive when I got out of the hospital finally I was in an incubator for a long

time somehow he contracted tuberculosis went

back into the hospital and was there for another two years

so right from the start I was behind the pack

that was a skinniest kid the smallest kid in school I know you couldn't

believe that looking at me now but I was and you know when you're a kid when

you're young that young even an infant that's when you learn how to learn so I

was already behind and I had a tough time growing up you know it was the

smallest kid I didn't get to do any sports you know I was still under

doctors care for another four years so I entered the gymnastics program at at

Lakewood High School the REC program and with that I found some confidence you

know it started giving me awareness of my body and I started to excel at

gymnastics and I did pretty well my brother at the time was a pole vaulter

at Lakewood High School and as I progressed into junior high school I

said that's what I want to do that's what I want to do this has been my

journey that's what I want to do is the next thing you know part of my journey

so I decided I was going to be a pole vaulter and went to Bancroft junior high

school and after school I would run over the lake for high school you know to

practice and eventually I went to Lakewood and I remember the football

coach you know cuz the tractors right there and the pole vault runways right

there and he thought I was pretty fast so he asked me to you know compete

against the other guys in the 40-yard dash and I beat everybody but the other

coach's son and it was coach Ford and he said crap son come out we'll make you a

football player and I said no sir I want to be a pole-vaulter

well that didn't go over too well I faced a lot of adversity from this

football team I'm not kidding you can't believe what went on but I'll show you

this that was me in high school

literally the football team used to follow me around in a pickup truck and

throw eggs at me and one time I was going down Pacific Coast Highway on my

bike and they threw a dead fish at me it hit me in the back and I'm like oh I'm

like you know all because I wouldn't be a football player right so I had to work

through all of this adversity they used to sit in the stands during track meets

and laugh when I would miss you know and very humility I worked on the weekends

right over here at Skylar's golf course to save up money to buy my first pole

vaulting pole because the school wouldn't pay for a pole for me so I did

that and of course the football players stepped on it and broke it and that was

the end of that the track coach didn't help either he didn't believe in leaving

the pole ball pits out so I had to carry those things usually by myself in and

out every day every day they didn't leave him out and these things are big

and they're heavy sometimes I got some help but most the time I had to bring

him out for practicing and get him in before practice was over I decided to go

to summer school because I wanted to not go to school I want to only go to halves

to school half a day my senior year and that was my goal so I went to summer

school every year then I saw an article in Sports Illustrated about a guy named

Steve Smith and I read the whole article and I found out that his coach was dick

Tomlinson at El Camino Junior College and I decided I'm gonna ride my bike to

El Camino so I ditch school rode my bike in the rain and I didn't know how junior

college worked but so I had to wait outside of his office all day until he

decided to come back but I did and I introduced myself and I said I want you

to coach me and he agreed well I had a coach finally so I used to

hitch rides to El Camino now the greatest pole vaulters in the world

literally world record holders trained there so I would bribe my friends to

drive me to Bellflower in the 405 and I put my poles over in the ice plant and

thumb rides and people would stop and pick me up to go where you going it's oh

well I'm going to Crenshaw on 405 going to El Camino they give me ride sometimes

they dropped me off there and I'd jogged the rest of the way to the school and

sometimes they would be kind enough to drive me all the way and I got to train

with the best guys in the world and the coach who lived over here off a Wardlow

would drive me back home and I'd drop my poles off of my house and the next

morning I'd run to school my poles which of course I got a lot of grief for

people made fun of me for doing that they didn't understand but through all

that I became the first state champion at Lakewood High School in any sport in

the 27-year history of the school first one

so I was on my way you know that's me

and those are the pulpits that to carry in every day the coolest thing about

this photo is the those are actually the standards that my brother Paul vaulted

with they're just antiques and they didn't go high enough so we had to set

him on top the trash cans upside down and now so like the guy on the Left whoa

look out anyway that's a CIF medal I won must be in state champion and this is

Dan Ryan he was the distance coach he was the only coach there that really

truly believed in me and helped me and encouraged me and in every way and it

was incredible so I gave him my trophy and I just got that back last year so he

had it all that time so I went to El Camino where I became the National

Junior College champion and then I committed to Long Beach State that's

where I wanted to go to school a lot of great falters there and I made the

junior US national team pole-vaulted against the Soviet Union

and I went to an all-comers meet and broke my wrist

now the doctor said that I was never gonna pole-vault again so I had to give

back my scholarship but I made him a deal I said if I get my cast off and I

can jump 16 feet you give me my scholarship back well they didn't keep

their end of the bargain my wrist healed I jumped 16 feet I didn't have a

scholarship and I was headed for some tough times had no money I went to

school on a basic educational opportunity grant and I actually ran out

of gas 11 times in one week trying to get to school

that was it and train and do everything else was hard but that year I became the

confidence champion and qualified for the NC two A's but the school wouldn't

send me so I went by myself and stayed with the UCLA guys in their

dorm and I remember being on the track and the coach came out on the track and

saw me standing there he goes what are you doing here

you didn't even know you know that euro was also a US Olympic Trials finalist

and was proud because that overcome this broken wrist and been able to achieve

more and I was on my way that's me rocking the short shorts that's what we

did back in the day that's at Long Beach State so at the end of the year they had

a track and field banquet and I'd accomplished so much that was really

proud to be able to go to this banquet there was only two conference champions

and this is what they gave us and I got home and I thought this is truly

incredible that I survived all this here it is right here this is the only trophy

that I kept and when I got home I pulled it out of the box was gonna pull it on

to put it on the mantle when I turned around I saw that the handle was a golf

putter and then went back to school and asked about this thing they said well

they were left over from the golf team who were also the conference champions

that year so that's that was the trophy they gave me after I did all that

somebody now owns that I want to tell you about that later but I was on my way

I was confident it made the finals of the US Olympic Trials and then one day I

was going to work and sitting on a motorcycle and got hit by a car it just

happened and I'll tell you the story about this six months before this

happened I had a feeling like a premonition and I felt something like an

itch than a month before it's like what what is that and the week coming up and

then the same day I'm going man what is what is that and when the accident

happened I was laying on the ground with the helmet twisted sideways on my head

and the woman behind me came up and pulled the helmet off my head I

was in this bright light and it was like a big piece of a puzzle snapped into

place I couldn't see the complete picture but I knew I was here for a

reason I just didn't know what it was so I was at Rancho Los Amigos Hospital

wondering you know after my injury and after surgery and everything I had

months of rehabilitation to do and I'm what am I gonna do now and I was

watching the New York City Marathon on TV and the lead runners ran past these

people in wheelchairs there's two wheelchairs kind of doing the race and I

looked I said what is that and the commentators didn't say anything about

the wheelchairs and I thought that was bizarre I said this isn't fair and I

said that's what I want to do this was the next step in my journey I can do

that you know so I researched have found out

about it there were few people racing mostly on the track hardly on the road

so I decided to race that's what I want to do so about a year after I got out of

rehab and got my life back together got my first racing chair it was basically a

shopping cart with no brakes and we had no helmets none that barely could

control the chair and I started to train this was actually my first race I

trained really hard improved my equipment a little bit and I realized

that all the things that I'd been through in high school all the hardships

the humiliation just made me want it even more so I trained really hard what

I've been through it prepared me for what I was about to go through

so I started winning some local races and I decided to have a new goal that's

when the Boston Marathon the Boston Marathon is the pinnacle of all

marathons it's the heart of racing for wheelchairs the very first person to

race in a wheelchair race there in 75 and it was the height of our sport so I

entered thought this is it I'm on my way but

boom I crashed 15 yards from the starting line the guy next to me pushed

the front of my chair and I folded a wheel you can see me laying on the

ground there and that was that but I went back home I worked even harder and

proved my equipment and I won the next year with a new world record

and I trained really hard and eventually won the Boston Marathon five times had a

few crashes along the way a few seconds and a lot of no finishes you know

because things don't always work out but I always went back home and worked even

harder and with that this is my victory in 83 and I like this picture because

it's a defining moment of my career and yet

the cop on the other side he's got his hands behind his back and he's thinking

about coffee and donuts it's perfect it's a perfect photo so then I decided I

was gonna start racing all over the world and I raced everywhere in Japan

and a couple races in China and in Europe and I decided to do the Paris

marathon now I heard the racers in in France weren't really happy that I was

showing up and so when the gun went off these guys on bicycles showed up and

that's what those were their coaches they had spare wheels and tools and

everything on the back and they're kind of cutting me off and keeping me from

wheeling in this pack but eventually one guy would drop off and I'd go back and

pick him up and push him back up to the rest of the guys and they're looking at

me like I'm nuts like what are you doing we're trying to keep you out of the race

in here you're helping us out and it showed him how to do a pace line and how

to draft each other and so at the end of the race when you win a race in Europe

they take you right to the podium and at the time Jacque Chirac was the mayor of

Paris and he and his wife were there and he gave me the wreath and this big

trophy big silver Cup and I congratulated every athlete as they came

across the line and waited for the very last wheelchair racer to finish and he

finished in just under four hours in a regular wheelchair in Paris which is 40%

cobblestone it's unheard of that guy I waited for the end when he showed up I

gave him the silver cup and I said listen with that kind of determination

if you train hard and you commit yourself to this one day you could be

world record holder and a world champion that guy oh this was the next slide

sorry do this I discovered something that's when I had this meeting with all

of them after the race but it wasn't enough just to win races but it's what

you do with that win to help others that really mattered that guy was Mustafa by

deed there he is multiple world record holder multiple

world champion three-time winner of Boston and the cool thing is I'm like

Jerry Lewis now in France because I'm like the they call me the father of the

sport in their country that night we had a meeting I gave one guy my chair I gave

another guy my gloves all the tape and showed him how to do everything and made

friends for life which is worth more than a trophy so I started giving my

awards away finish your medal you know I finished

cross the finish line and usually there is a kid in a baby stroller and parents

and I would and the most beautiful baby at the race you know put it in the

parents and start crying and you know just became a habit I'd like to give my

trophies away to kids or people who needed some encouragement I started

making a habit of that to the point where I had no trophies in my house

except for this that was my favorite one I retired from racing but every year I

would watch the Boston Marathon wake up in the morning click on the TV and watch

the thing and then this happened now Boston is my second home that's my

street that's Boylston and when I was watching this race I was just devastated

I didn't know what to do I was in bed for a week just watching the news and

watching happen and I was really frustrated

because I didn't know what to do I didn't there was nothing I could do

nothing I could do to help nothing you know then I started reading about this

kid this is martin richard 8 year old kid

this is him a few weeks before with a poster to the humane in class

that's him running the youth relay they do every year just before the race

here's the amount of his brothers and sisters and every year they would go to

the race with their parents and sit on that corner in Boylston and watch areas

at the race in the blue circle that red circle down below that's the backpack

with the bomb in it that red circle up above that's our na EV the bomber

walking away and martin richard didn't make it

his family was decimated sister lost a leg mother's still affected on the left

side of her body and i was devastated by this story I didn't know what I could do

I'd really felt helpless there was nothing I could do but then I given my

mother one of these trophies was a bowl that I had won at Boston and she had

passed away and my sister sent it back to me and it's all I had it's all I

could do it's a couple years later I said you

know what I got all of the race director Dave him ago over at Boston and my buddy

Bob Babbitt competitive publishing and I told him what I wanted to do I wanted to

give him this bowl and we started communicating through email and

everybody got copied on everything and he said I can't accept this it's just

too much and finally he decided to accept it and he sent me an email that

said we'll display it proudly in our home I said no don't display it proudly

put it on the coffee table and all the reading I did about Martin I found out

that Reese's many Reese's were his favorite I said just fill that bowl

those and every once in a while take one take a bite and remember that life is

sweet so it's one of my greatest accomplishments right there that's the

bowl from 91 so giving my trophies away he started really to become something

really important to me especially since I hadn't been racing anymore and somehow

I could offer something to people to motivate them and help them do better I

want to tell you about mom's story now so the building I live in dent the end

of the hallway this mother and daughter she's about the mothers about 80 she's

had three strokes they lived down there and everyday she comes on her Walker

down the hallway struggling and you know her whole left side of her body's really

affected and she had a hard time getting her left leg to come through and swing

through to walk and they go for a walk every afternoon so I talked to mom how

you doing mom you're looking good everything's going you know looking

great have a good walk today and everything one day I was coming out of

the elevator and asked mom how are you doing today she said I'm doing great

because you're my inspiration and I went wow just about knocked me out of my

chair so my buddy Bob Seagram puts on the Long Beach Marathon and I got a

finishers medal from him and the next day I was hanging in my doorway and

they're coming down the hallway and I jumped out with this medal and I said

and the winner of the moms hallway race today in new world record time and I put

it around her neck and she started to laugh and she never talks she never says

anything your daughter was astounded that she even talked to me you know but

the cool thing is look at that smile and I saw her a couple days ago her daughter

told me she says every time she comes down the hallway now she picks it up a

little bit as she's going by your door and that's a great photo that's that's

my latest trophy right there that smile now I want to finish this by challenging

you I hopefully have given you some words of you know encouragement

motivation but successes it's hard to measure sometimes and I'll give you this

I'll challenge you with this every once in a while not every day but at the end

of the day if you can ask yourself what have I done to help somebody else today

if you can answer that honestly and positively then you're winning and guess

what you-you-you don't get to do this so something good will happen to you and

you don't get to do this like you're buying karma you just do it to do it and

if you help other people and commit yourself to that your journeys gonna be

as sweet as mine so thank you very much I want to wish you all good luck in your

careers

I think that deserves a big another

thank you very much

thank you so thank you so much and and oh that's my phone number if you

know anybody that needs my help some advice is help with disability or

whatever write it down keep it and let me know

I'll be glad to help thank you this is a really great opportunity for I'm gonna

encourage people there's a mic right here we're gonna have a question and

answer time right now for with our panelists so please feel free there's a

mic on this end right over here at this aisle and over to the left of me so

students come up feel free come on up and I invite you to ask our panelists

your questions Thanks why don't you just say who the questions

to also thank you who do you want to direct your question to thank you okay

for Jim I was wondering if you didn't have the hardships that you had growing

up in high school for people saying that you couldn't do this of people throwing

eggs at you you're just your peers just being really rude to you do you think

that you'll be as successful as you are now without those hardships you think

that you would put an extra effort to help people be amazing other people if

they didn't if you didn't have that pressure of people just being bad to you

or just yeah well thanks for your question you know I think it kind of

depends on who you are you know people that don't go through those hardships

maybe go through other hardships that kind of shape them in a different way

the things that I went through and my youth really shaped me to be able to

endure a lot and by the way I just today I wish I could find the football players

I really do I really do but I think that me trying to help people and motivate

other people really was really formed when I went through the disability and

a lot of people don't know this but my father was in a wheelchair as well so I

got to see how he was treated in the 50s and 60s and I kind of used that to form

my own ability to try to help other people yeah I like how when you talked

about when you got hit you didn't mention anything about you did you said

that you did say that you had rehabilitation but you didn't say you

didn't go on about how being in a wheelchair really affected you you

turned it into how can I help other people I really like that

thank you yeah thanks I want to add to that that but also when that piece fell

into the puzzle for me it I realized this is where I was supposed to be and

so that it the disability I never thought of it as you know bad karma or

something I did cause this this is where I was supposed to be at that time

this question is for marina and so as a young student yourself I guess my

question would be if you saw another student that was struggling with I guess

or maybe being a little insecure or not wondering kind of even the next step on

which to take or feeling alone what would be the best advice that you could

give to them okay so you said at the fellow student that she was asking like

if you feel alone you don't know what the next step is what my advice would be

first of all I would start with I felt the exact same things they're the reason

why I wasn't successful because I didn't I was going about everything alone if

you don't my main advice to be to find someone in your immediate access that

would inspire you because when you're with someone on a daily basis or like

weekly just someone that you have access to all the time and they're just

constantly around you it really does help you stay up most of time my person

for that would be Sandro Toole I came president of business clubs she

was the advisor I was in all three of her classes she was basically with me my

entire journey at LBCC I could not and would not have done it without her but

then the times when I needed like something beyond that I would go on Ted

like Ted comm watch TED talks I constantly seek inspiration and I still

do I still there are still times where I don't know what I'm gonna do next and I

mentioned that um you have to be active inspiration will hit you and it does

like hit me and it comes to me and then you come to events like this but doing

things like this and actively seeking out inspiration and then also just even

like being honest with friends or family around you and telling them I'm not

motivated right now can you help me what I started doing something strangers

times when I don't feel like I'm good enough to do something I will literally

ask a close friend or my boyfriend or my I'll say can you name a few good things

about me it would help me feel better and then just be honest

thank you this questions for us I know you spoke a lot about us finding mentors

and you know people that are able to kind of help us through our journey but

I'm not sure if many students can relate you know it's kind of hard to open our

eyes to see who would be great mentors for us just because a lot of times like

you said we know we consider ourselves the center of you know the world what

advice would you give us as key things to look out for for people that would be

great mentors to us sure Wow let me put it in educational context I

know when you're in the business building walking around if you go to the

faculty area you see where the students are I bet you 90% of them are in their

offices that's gonna tell you something I tend to put it on a personal level you

know who to respect you know who is being honest and I think you look at the

people that work really hard and it's not so much being there we're working

hard efficiently is important I tend to think as you grow up try to find some

people that you really really admire see what they do follow them everybody wants

to help I don't know anybody that's my age

you're relatively close to my age that doesn't want to help somebody because we

all feel that we're really smart and wise and all that stuff when we want to

pass things on to younger people you'll find mentors if you show appreciation

and I think that's the most important thing I know that's very general but I

tend to think it's the whole package to just don't look at somebody because they

make a lot of money and say I'm gonna learn something look at somebody that's

nice look at somebody that thinks of more than just themselves

okay I just wanted to add to that really quickly because I just remembered

something that happened with me I attended a name for success a year after

I left Long Beach City there was an entrepreneur speaking at the front and

at the end of his speech like miss Suzie price he said hit me up if you want any

opportunities I'll help you out so I called him I called him a few days

later and he said that's so strange there were so many people in that room

and you're the only person that called me back I ended up ghost writing his

first book for him so don't be afraid to ask for anything whether it's mentorship

whether it's a job just ask because the worst thing they can say is no and the

best thing is you can end up writing an entire book for service' hello this is

Professor Iceland you mentioned we should expand our world and never give

up I can do that but how do we know how is one supposed to know one they've

succeeded that's a pretty tough question a lot of it is when you feel good enough

about yourself you treat other people well I everything to me is the people

around me and I get more selective as I get older the people I want to be with

and the people I want to help the people I want to listen to

I think it's self evaluation when you're young everything your eyes are wide open

and you look at a whole bunch of different things try to look at people

that are successful relative to other people and I think that'd give you a lot

of clues what to look for in life I really believe that I there's some very

special people out there you know sincerely they can air Cote Cassandra

see what they do for other people see how selfless they are and I think that's

what you want to be and if you see someone like that just measure them try

to live up to who they are I know I'm talking in generalities but I really

feel there's certain special people that I've seen my whole life that I've tried

to pattern myself after thank you

so I've got a question for the full panel statistically this is about how do

you beat the odds because statistically 70% of us aren't going to make it out of

community colleges it's only a 30 percent success rate they actually

transfer or receive their AAA so you guys have all made it how did you get

out of here and get to the next level you're doing it right now you're right

here how many other people are here on Friday the other thing is you have to

have commitment dedication exuberance passion talk to Sandra all tool if you

want to talk about passionate I'm sincere about that I mean that's how you

get out of it you have to be different um this is gonna sound really horrible

because it's not on personal terms but you're as valuable as what you can be

replaced for if a mean-spirited horrible person can get a job over you it tells

you a lot about who you are and what I want you to realize is it takes a lot of

time and effort and dedication and hard work to be a good person this is an

incredible person his success is his heart and I believe everything on

personal gums I mean this is what we want to be in life and if you're like

him and you work hard anything you want would be at your command do anything I

suggest is I think you what you should want more than less for other people

read books find someone that's important to you and follow their footsteps knock

on their door ask them why they're successful nothing comes easy

everything's hard work but it's worth it one last comment and then I'll stop if

you give up a little bit today you will have 10 times more tomorrow the

difference between being here and Cal State Long Beach from being at Cal State

Long Beach and Stanford is a couple hours studying every night you take one

or two extra hours and get to at the best goddamn excuse the language the

best doggone school in the world and the people around you

well you will create relationships with them to be successful not only

monetarily but having the ability to help other people do it now and work

your tail off in life everything will come to you

I can I can answer that a little differently maybe I do some social media

work and I started doing some work for a friend of mine that actually is a

lowrider and sells lowrider parts and everything but as part of that every day

he likes to post something motivational and today I made a little thing for him

this said don't be afraid to go the extra mile because it's usually not very

crowded so that's what I would say to you don't be afraid to work even harder

just like you said you know that next step might be the last step might be the

next step for you then you finally make the goal every day that I trained I used

to when I would train on Pacific Coast Highway I'd like to Train Christmas Day

Thanksgiving you know all the time son I knew that everyone else was partying and

having fun I would go train so don't be afraid to put in the extra mileage

to be honest I actually learned a pretty good answer to this question today

listening to Jim when you were telling your story and I think this is what will

to answer the question like what will get you out of here what will make you

different what will make you the 30% that makes it out of Community College

did you notice when Hugh was telling his story he just kept saying oh this is

what I'm going to do next and I remember when you said after the accident you

watched the marathon and you said that's what I'm gonna do next you did not

mention at all how sad you were how devastated you were you viewed adversity

as the next step and like just hearing those examples and just realizing that

like bad things are going to happen hard things are gonna come in your way if you

just view that as just part of the journey it makes things a little bit

easier it makes you less complacent it makes you kind of it does it prevents

you from throwing yourself a pity party because you can make it out of here you

just have to realize that all the obstacles along the way are just part of

it all

I am I question is for professor Ross seems like the business field can be

very competitive what is one skill that use you can say

that we need to always remember to succeed in a field that could be when we

feel like does motivate it I don't think you can be any better in business than

you are as a person just like the teachers that you have if someone is a

horrible person they're not gonna be a good teacher I think what you have to do

is kind of follow your passion but things are different some people like to

make decisions some people like to follow decisions some people are really

compulsive about things some people are more like a type personalities where

they could just sell you anything I think what you want to do is sink your

personality with some business endeavor in terms of like a major if you'd like

to make decisions be a finance major because people that are finance majors

where the money is that's what decisions are made if you're

like a voyeur or a bean-counter be an accountant

because they don't do anything except look and see what someone else did and

try to put it in order if you have a really dynamic personality you might

want to be in sales but the guy that when I say guys not it's the vernacular

of male or female the person that sells the car they know nothing about cars you

open up there the hood they know they don't know a doggone thing about an

engine do they know how to sell a car so some people have personalities where

they don't know garbage about things but they could sell you anything

find something that fits your personality and then the next thing that

I would say to you find someone that does it well and monitor what they do

and ask yourself how you can be better you always strive to be better there are

places for anyone that's good it's impossible to replace let me just kind

of tell you a story if for two seconds remember the Rocky movies where the

Apollo Creed you went to school here that's Carl

withers and he was the nicest guy ever went to school here played football at

Cal State Long Beach one day we went out to lunch after you

were successful and he was late to lunch because he had an audition and so there

were like three of us having lunch and another gentleman named Bill Barnes said

to him well Carl you think you got the part and he said if I didn't it's my

fault he said the second the door is open they want me to get that part if I

don't walk away with it I screwed up somehow I had three minutes to do it

and my friend bill said well that part might have been for someone else and

they just wanted you to come in to make it look like it was an open audition

he said if I'm good enough they would have found something for me and in your

heart if you're good enough other people will know and I don't want you to be

replaceable you do your best you find something that follows your passion

everybody I know that's passionate is really good look at Sondra and Nick you

walk in their office and there's just its exuberance about life that's how you

should be about this and they said everything I should

Mexico vs. Brazil Lineup: Starting XI For World Cup | Heavy.com - Duration: 4:41.

Mexico vs. Brazil Lineup: Starting XI For World Cup | Heavy.com

Neymar leads Brazil into the Knockout Phase against Mexico.

Mexico look to break through to the quarterfinals on Monday when they take on Brazil.

Mexico already scored one big upset in the tournament, but El Tri were blown out by Sweden in their most recent match.

Mexico vs. Brazil Squads.

Brazil have already revealed their squad for Mexico, and it's got one major change.

It's exactly the same as the team's group finale against Serbia, but Marcelo will be unable to start.

"Yes, we have confirmed the team," Brazil coach Tite told reporters during the pre-match press conference.

"The team that finished the last match.".

Marcelo has been crucial for Brazil, and his presence will be missed.

The Real Madrid defender exited the match against Serbia with back spasms, and despite training away from the team he'll be unable to start.

Atletico Madrid anchor Felipe Luis will start in his place.

For Mexico, they will attempt to slow down the likes of Neymar and Coutinho without defender Hector Moreno.

Moreno is suspended due to yellow card accumulation, but he's just the latest in a run of bad luck for Mexico's defense.

El Tri was expected to have a strong back line in Russia, but Diego Reyes and Nestor Araujo were both unable to get healthy in time for the tournament.

Mexico pulled off their upset of Germany with a devastating counter attack.

They were fine with letting Germany dictate possession, then breaking into space when given the opportunity.

But Brazil is much more effective in the final third, and Mexico coach Juan Carlos Osorio has indicated that he has different tactics in mind for Monday.

"We will try to keep possession of the ball and I believe we can be better at it," he said earlier this week.

"Our intention is not to stay behind the ball all the time.

We don't want to stay very deep; they are very good in the last third and always score.".

These teams have met 40 times in total, but never at this stage in this competition.

For these teams, the Round of 16 is something of a crossroads.

For Mexico, this is Quinto Partido, the fifth game that has cursed them for six straight World Cups.

For Brazil, they've won this match and reached at least the quarterfinals at every World Cup since 1990.

Mexico vs. Brazil Lineups.

Lineups are released one hour before kickoff.

Mexico: Ochoa, Ayala, Salcedo, Marquez, Herrera, Alvarez, Guardado, Gallardo, Vela, Hernandez, Lozano.

Brazil: Alisson, Thiago, Miranda, Felipe Luis, Fagner, Casemiro, Coutinho, Paulinho, Willian, Gabriel Jesus, Neymar.

Roseanne Barr Talks "Many" Opportunities for TV Comeback | THR News - Duration: 1:44.

"You know, inside every bad thing is a good thing waiting to happen,

and I feel very excited 'cause I already have been offered so many things."

Roseanne Barr made a second appearance on Rabbi Shmuley Boteach's

podcast, where she revealed that she has been offered "many" opportunities

to return to television.

"I've already been offered so many things and I almost already accepted

one really good offer to go back on TV and I might do it. But we'll see," she said.

The comedian's beloved '90s sitcom 'Roseanne' was resurrected by ABC this year,

with the intention of representing President Donald Trump's America.

But despite sky-high ratings, the series was cancelled by the network

after Barr tweeted a racist remark about former Obama administration

official Valerie Jarrett.

ABC is currently working on 'The Conners,' a spinoff of 'Roseanne'

that will not feature Barr's character (or the actress's involvement),

but instead focus on the rest of the cast.

Barr told Boteach that she didn't ask for money when she signed

away the rights to the show as an act of "penance" and that she "didn't want to

hurt the new show" or for the 'Roseanne' cast, particularly African-American

actress Jayden Rey, to lose their jobs.

According to Barr, "I thought signing off of my own life's work and asking for

nothing in return, I thought that was a penance. Sometimes you ask people

what do you think should be done to you, knowing what you've done wrong

and it seems that people always know what should be done to them.

I just knew that was the right thing and I want to do the right thing because I've

lived my life, most part of it, to do the right thing for all people, not just Jews."

Boteach also pressed Barr on whether she had reached out and apologized

to Valerie Jarrett privately. She said she had not as yet, but she was

"praying for the right words" before she spoke to Jarrett.

T-Mobile finally starts rolling out Android 8.0 Oreo for LG G6 ● Tech News ● #TECH - Duration: 1:37.

Once again, T-Mobile is the last major carrier in the United States to provide a major Android

update for a flagship.

Earlier today, the Uncarrier finally kicked off the rollout of Android 8.0 Oreo for Samsung

Galaxy S7 and S7 edge after weeks of delays.

Today, another high-end smartphone is getting a similar Android 8.0 Oreo update at T-Mobile

– the LG G6.

As some of you probably know by now, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon have already released

the update many weeks ago.

In any case, if you own the T-Mobile G6, you'll soon be able to download the update.

According to T-Mobile, in order to prevent network congestion, this particular update

is set on a scheduled daily limit, so it's very possible that some people won't be able

to download it until next week.

However, the daily limit will be lifted on July 30, although there's a high chance that

everyone will get the update on their LG G6 units by then.

Unfortunately, the very short changelog doesn't mention anything else except "various bug

fixes and software improvements," but expect a security patch to be included in the update

as well.
