Hey Bil Rob and I just got your message that Rob's veneers are almost done
he is so excited about it oh my god we can't wait and I know that you can ship them here to us but you know Rob and I were talking
is it possible can you come to Maui and hand-deliver Rob's the Veneers Tina's been
talking about you so much and we also know your service levels are unheard of
Bil so to deliver them would be an honor for us
hey good morning it's early here it's early because we're not we're not
in Texas we're in Maui Hawaii we're here because we have a different
vlog this week we want to talk about teeth whitening
a year ago I had a client came to us without contact
she gave us review and we turned it into a vlog her name is Tina and she's followed us
this more as a brand ambassador this whole year every time she's always
saying good things or telling people which way to go or what to expect or
what's realistic and she's just been an advocate for us at a time that it helped
us a lot so when we wanted to bring out this new
product we asked her do you mind if we use your husband to introduce this new
smile whitening veneers what we call it because we thought we could design it
and give him a shade that's a reflection of who he really is
they're real clients we didn't pay them for this and they've never seen this
result and I have to tell you I think a lot of Tina and I hope to meet her
husband Rob this afternoon we always talked about smile design we talked
about dental veneers but we never talked them all being the same thing I wanted to
focus on over 40 executives who want their smile to look really white
all the time I don't think that they should have to worry about wine or
cigars or Starbucks coffee and I think they should have a smile that's
predictable and we've never done this before but I want you to follow this
vlog and see what happens when we take a person who's never seen their smile
before or after and just introduce a new product and it gives him a smile that
tells everybody the future of smile design the future of teeth whitening and
the future dental veneers are all gonna be one thing let's see how it goes
I remember and I may be wrong so don't let me lead down the wrong way but it
seemed like you and a lot of good changes going on right there because it if I
looked at it a little bit before you didn't seem as happy as you were and
then you next thing I know you go this really neat little knockout kid thank
you you see what I'm saying Whoo! whatever it was it was a lot of energy
so you always have a trade of energy well you saw the video that I did that I
sent to you guys right so my front tooth is capped and that was from when I was
like five years old and I never had it just I don't know why
and then as I became as I'm getting older I'm like a little self-conscious
about it and so every time I would smile it and you were like I never even notice
it you know it doesn't look bad I'm like yes it does and so when I came across
your site I thought oh these are perfect I wonder how they're gonna look and then when I got them I was
like oh my god how can you not smile when you have teeth like this and a smile like
this right yeah Beautiful I'm guessing we did good on yours the first time I mean
You did great oh yeah amazing and I just didn't want to go to the dentist they drill your teeth
right and just that one and it's probably like 50 of my dentist told me fifteen
hundred bucks for one veneer one veneer I really wanted I'm like I wanted
these before we before I went to Mexico I'm like I want these in my mouth I want
them for my 50th birthday and I'm gonna make sure that impressions right feel
look perfect we think it's a really good thank you so I wanted to do cases for
men if I can put myself in a position to change someone's smile that's over 50
then that resets the ground for everybody who wants to smile what I did
today was make you a set of veneers to see if they can't change the appearance
of someone's smile I'm from England it could be a challenge you know it's
always hard when you mention something about somebody's profile what I'm hoping
to do is to be able to take one common denominator out of conversation which is
does their teeth age them or does their teeth tell on them
people start with Starbucks and the end the day with wine and then and every
once while they have cigars and so huh you you can't be a hypocrite you you you bugs from the harley
riding yes and so what's happened is they seem to
accept that it's just the norm and then we've got the technology that I think is
so thin that it doesn't really come down to what you do as part of your daily
habits so many people don't realize that majority of people's teeth won't whiten. if
not we would have a line out this door they would come in if you can dip their
teeth and white and bring it out and they stay in that color and can rinse
it off and go back to that color you know I bet no one ever asked you you
anything about your teeth they just look perfect yeah they're like oh my god
they're so beautiful if we can do the same thing with with another challenge
then I think then that becomes part of their monthly makeup you understand we
don't know each other and because we barely took an impression there's always
a chance that it doesn't work what I want to do is I think we just get
started okay like Christmas kinda only if it fits and how do you come up with the logo I was
wondering about that I know it's reflection of what we talk
about is what's called bad to beautiful this guy had everything but he couldn't
smile this guy now can smile totally makes sense you've got it and so you
can have everything if you can't smile then true everything matters
differently when you can and I loved it I liked it a lot
Wow look at those it's super thin and it's an aggressive shading it's for
high-end people if you're not in a position where you're wearing the
executive tie or something like that then it's designed to reflect light off
dark colors yeah oh it's just what most men do and it carries
that look and I think we start with the top if you can try it we'll see
wow start at the front then push them back
yes
oh my god You look so different let me see tells me that's all but let me see it feels very natural
changes the speech a little bit but you've never had them on never no
look no not don't you get used to it yeah what I will tell you is you that
exactly what we hoped you would do is not try to do a big smile and not try to do anything
you normally do you wouldn't walk around going oh smile big but I'm telling you
from from two feet away a half smile that I see those teeth look perfect from
this down in a general conversation they'll say they're absolutely perfect
really it's gonna come down to whether they're our than you're used to this
white for for ninety percent of America they're too white but I will tell you
from an executive in a nice tie with with good cufflinks and with the right
shoes then nothing's too white if you can pull it off
oh my god Amazing yeah they are my word absolutely perfect Incredible! we're gonna try to see
at the bottom we don't know if we have the bottoms yet ok let me see
these are obviously you're gonna have two foreign objects in your mouth at the
same time it takes a while to get used to so let's see what we've got
what a fit! really good fit is it let me see it was a big challenge WOW
it was a big challenge when we got your model we didn't know if it was going to
be a perfect fit in fact I think one time we asked you to redo them yes yeah
yeah yeah and we probably would have made some suggestions but it was so
close to us right there on the fence and we had to make a decision do we go to
Maui with these and you said if it didn't work me and you will just do a blog
you see what I'm saying like yeah then if it doesn't work we'll just stop start the vlog over I'm
watching the light reflect off the room let me see and they are the most perfect smile I've
seen you're totally a movie star everyone in the world is gonna think
initially those are just perfectly manicured teeth The bottoms Bil are amazing fit
great job I'm gonna ask you to look at these and then you'll see look at that Look in the mirror Looks realistic doesn't it I know
smile Look at that Smile! if I didn't know you I'd go holy God look at this -You would? yeah in general
conversation I've already seeing a fantastic pop on this smile oh my god
amazing look at that considering you normally
don't smile that big anyway it looks perfect one of the things said it'd
mean the world to me is everybody says they talk about all the possibilities in
the future and maybe one day and the biggest thing about the future is about
time we always tell them it's about time now I don't want to meet you three years
from now or two years from now and say I wish I would have done that even though
you're around it every day and you're around the people that see that you see
that it's made a change you still weren't going to say it was time for me
to see if that works for me but I tell you a hundred people see this say if he
an can afford anything I can only afford a few things I'm gonna
take advantage we always tell them my life's about advantages it is but the
future is about a lot of things what I always like to tell them is it's about
now it's really about time it's about time it's about time the technology got
available it's about time someone made it affordable it's about time that it
becomes a choice that doesn't include 20 grand and a dentist so when you go
what's it about what's the future about what dental veneers about what's teeth
whitening about if I was to ask one thing to be heard I'd say it's about time
it's about now cause I mean you would agree that it's about time we let Rob
consider this absolutely and you go well it's about time we try this and I think
the future is about time and meaning it's just about time that we have
somebody we can trust some product we can go to it's about time that there's a
product that'll make a difference if I can make a difference in your life imagine
how many guys are getting started with the first sales job

Veda Ajamu: Warrior for Justice - Duration: 4:31.
I am blessed...
I...am an advocate.
To do this work, I have to find this quiet space.
because my life is dedicated to advocating for my brother.
My name is Veda Ajamu
and "Veda" means life and "Ajamu" means "he who fights for what he wants."
I will not stop advocating for him until he's free
or until I take my last breath.
My brother Robert was an honor student.
When our brother was murdered, he couldn't cope with it.
At the age of 20, he was arrested and charged in a drug conspiracy.
In 1994, as a part of the mandatory minimum sentencing guidelines, he was sentenced to life in prison.
Robert's judge actually said that the law had tied his hands.
Recording: "to decline the call or to accept, dial 5 now."
Hello? Hello, little brother!
What's up, twin?
How are you?
What's going on?
I'm still working for you.
I tell people all the time I wish they had someone like what I have in you, because there's so many people in the same situation who don't have nobody to speak for them.
It took me a minute to share with people about my brother, but I got to a point that I said, "he needs you."
I said, do you know how it feels to be held captive, when you know you have so much to offer?
By that time, I was just fired up and I was, to be quite honest, I was pissed off.
And I said, "no, no longer!"
All right, y'all, I'm getting ready to go! I'm going to DC for FAMM's rally...
I'm gonna meet with lawmakers...I'm gonna talk to family members...I'm gonna talk to advocates...
I'm not nervous. I cannot wait!
We're so thankful that you guys came. This event is about families.
We need reform NOW. We're not waiting any longer.
We're going be out here today, tomorrow we're going to swarm the Senate
and we're going to tell these folks we need justice reform now!
Our goals today are very, very simple and they're very clear. We're going to explain to members of Congress why
the FIRST STEP act helps families of prisoners.
I'm not a big talker. So, advocating was a bit difficult for me in the beginning.
Sometimes I have to speak up and speak out.
What I want people to understand about the FIRST STEP act--every day counts.
For people like me, for my brother, people that's in prison.
People should contact their legislators in Congress, people's senators, and find out
where they are on the issues and also advocate for loved ones who've been incarcerated.
Chant: Reform! Can't wait! Reform!
My father was incarcerated before I was born.
This means he hasn't been here for any of my life.
That's why I'm here today--because they can't speak, but I can speak for them.
Thank y'all.
There are 10 million kids in America who grew up with a mom or dad behind bars.
There are real lives and families at stake.
I'm asking everyone to become advocates. Everyone can be an advocate!
I know that you can and will make a difference.
When you're feeling like you're alone for so long and then you're in a space when you have hundreds of people fighting
for the same thing...
it's an amazing feeling.
I will write the lawmakers. I will call them.
They will see me again.
I want to be a part of making change. I want to be the voice for the voiceless.
If you want something so bad,
you have to be willing to fight for it.
That's what it boils down to.

The Story of Siege of Boralus - Battle for Azeroth [Lore] - Duration: 10:13.
Hello everyone!
The siege of boralus is lady ashvane's move to take the capital of kul tiras by force
after we exposed her treachery.
"Heroes, we'll secure the docks while you push further into the district.
With any luck we'll drive this scum from the city before high tide."
While the alliance goes in to quel the rising chaos and put an end to Ashvane's plan to
dominate the region, the Horde spots an oppertunity...
"Oh my, looks as if Boralus is already in its death throes.
Remember, our primary objective is seizing lady ashvane's azerite weapons.
Though while we're here, might as well see what other treasures we can find.
I'll circle above and call out anything that looks interesting."
The city is on fire and under lockdown.
Citizens are terrified as Ashvane's alies, Irontide Raiders and ashvane company members,
plunder and pillage.
The Azerite they've gathered and weaponized gives them quite the advantage so lets go
save the capital with our first boss being Chopper Redhook.
"You can't run."
His brutality is feared throughout kul tiras.
Supported by irontide forces, Chopper is free to rampage through Boralus, relishing the
chaos rampant in the streets.
He will fixate on a ranged enemy and try to catch them with his meat hook while the area
is constantly bombarded with cannon barrage.
Irontide forces will join him in battle while his boiling rage increases his movement speed
which of course makes it a lot easier to capture his target and deal a whole bunch of damage.
We can use their weaponry against them as the canon barrage leaves bombs on the floor
which will detonate on their own, but you'll want to lead the brute over them so he takes
the brunt of the damage and is stunned for a couple of seconds.
On the horde side instead of chopper you face Sergeant Bainbridge, a regid officer that
vehementely enforces his rule of iron.
Believing weakness should be punishable by death, Brainbridge is quick to send those
who offend him to the noose.
It's still the same fight though with the except of kul tiran forces showing up to aid
him and using hangman's noose to try and catch you rather then a meat hook.
"Don't let me go to waste."
"Heroes, my scouts report heavy fighting near the palace."
"Please, ensure lady proudmoores safety.
Kul tiran forces are doing their best to hold their ground but can definatly use a hand
against the irontide raiders.
Fireing squads stand ready to catch the unaware adventurers.
Duck behind cover while their bullets rain down and make use of their reloading time
to take them out.
Do be careful to avoid the waters around Boralus as all this fighting has attracted the attention
of sharks.
The lord admiral's footlocker offers a quest which might make it very tempting to go for
a swim, but trust me when I say...those sharks really hurt.
If you're quick enough you can pick up the footlocker with contains a number of Daelin
proudmoore's personal effects.
Among them is a rolled letter which if you turn it in, plays the Jaina warbringer episode
the song daughter of the sea.
"Captain lockwood, our forces have lost control of the docks."
"It makes no difference.
Me canons will soon reduce the opposition to rubble"
"No survivors!"
"Here's lead in yer gut!"
Dread Captain Lockwood commands a host of Azerite artillery.
Currently her cannons are trained on the palace, threatening to reduce the seat of the proudmoore's
power to rubble unless they surrender.
Once more we can use their artillery against them.
"Urgh i tired of this.
All canons...fire!"
Once her energy bar is full, the captain will jump on her ship and send out crew members
to fight us while she bombards the area.
The ashvane cannooneer will drop his mighty weapon upon death, pick it up and turn it
against the vessel to force the dread captain back onto the fighting field.
Keep the adds under control, make sure there's always someone attacking her at melee range
and bring lockwood down.
"I sail to...uncharted waters..."
"Heroes ashvane's forces are attempting to break through our southern wall.
Stop them, and we may have a chance at driving them from Boralus."
"I'll rally the militia and secure the castle.
Good hunting."
A couple more firing squads have been made ready while Ashvane's pirate allies are
having the time of their lifes rampaging through the city.
At Unity Square, the same place where we exposed Priscilla, we find our next boss, Hadal Darkfathom.
"Full fathom five your bones shall lie!"
Hadal Darkfathom is an ancient sea giant called from the depths to unleash his fury on Boralus.
Using his powerful sttrength he crsuhes buidings, statues and civilians alike.
In the shade of daelins statue we take on the sea giant who likes to fill up the field
with patches of frost.
You'l lwant to make sure to aim those away from Daelin's statue as at a 100 energy,
the sea giant will summon a tidal wave.
That's your que to hide behind the statue as the waves crash by.
If you don't you'll take some serious damage to the face.
"The depths will be your tomb...
Return...my body...to the sea."
"Youve done it!
Without their giant, ashvane's forces will be pushed out of the city."
"Ha enjoy your hollow victory, fools!
Without the kul tiran fleet, you have no hope of defeating me.
Allow me to demonstrate."
"Their gate has fallen!
Breach the city and slay all who oppose me."
I checked out some recordings of horde members going through this part, trying to figure
out why they take on the next boss.
Nathanos will call out that the dark lady will surely appreciate our service and that
it seems like provided us with a convenient exit.
It's time we take our leave and allow boralus to burn but then he notices that Ashvane has
a kraken which the Horde then takes care of.
Could be a case of dealing with it now before it becomes a threat to the Horde, either way,
Ashvane has a kraken!
"Ashvane's beast is destroying our ships!
Looks like there are artillery pieces in the wreckage.
Reassemble them and kill her pet before we have nothing left to repel Ashvane's fleet!
" "Get this thing off me!"
Summoned from the depths by Lady Aashvane, Viq'Goth has devastated the harbor.
Not the first time we face him either as we joined the Outriggers at Anglepoint Wharf
to scare off the beasty.
Now he has returned, capable of pulling entire galleons to the crushing depths.
This leviathan must be defeated before the kul tiran fleet is destroyed.
He comes with 2 tentacles.
One in which he holds an engineer, the other which he uses to smack us around.
Aim of the game is to keep the smacking tentacles under control while liberating the engineer
so that they can fix the canon which you can use to shoot Viq'Goth.
Do that 3 times and victory will be yours while being careful not to be knocked into
the shark infested waters.
For the Horde this is where your adventure ends but the Alliance gets a little cutscene
with lady Jaina Proudmoore.
Once upon a time Lady Ashvane herself was planned to be the end boss for this dungeon,
but it seems like they've since changed their mind.
Considering we don't kill her, it could very well be that they have more story planned
with her in the future but for now I'll leave you with the end cinematic and let me
just say thank you very much for watching everyone!
Subscribe if you like my videos, leave a like if you enjoyed this one....aaaand until next
time guys...see ya!
"You dare scar my beautifiul pet?
Ohh I tire of this game, I'll reduce boralus to cinders before I allow you to win.
" "You've done well heroes.
But Boralus is not out of danger yet.
Speak to me when you're ready to put an end to ashvane's fleet."
Cinematic: Uho thats a lot of ships
Our harbor defenses won't be enough.
Father's pendant.
For generations, the heart of the kul tiran fleet.
I thought that hope had returned with this seal.
That perhaps I could call the fleet home as your father did.
I was wrong.
IT was never meant for me.
ITs your jaina.
Ow yes, hum that theme.
Beware the daughter of the sea, but too you it means so much more doesn't it?
The song of your father as he made a promise to always come home to you.
And you use that beautiful voice of yours to find them lost at sea.
"There you are" BEHOLD THE POWER OF JAINA.
I AM SO POWERFUL I CAN MAKE LONG LOST HEROES COME STRAIGHT OUT OF THE RPG AND IN TO THE
CANON LORE "We're home, tandred!
Captain, pirates in our harbor."
"All hands.
Lets show them what kul tirans are made of."
"Lady ashvane, your orders!
Lady ashvane!
You have no choice but to surrender.
Ahoy, sail that white flag as the day has been saved.
It seems hope has returned...with you, Lord Admiral.
Awwwwwwwwwww it so beautiful.
Ahhh i'm not crying, you're crying

How to Create School Showcase Pages for Your BREW | Ballen Brands 2018 - Duration: 7:09.
Hello, this is Catherine Chadwick, Project Manager with Ballen Brands and today I'm going
to show you how to build school showcase pages for your communities and their proper hierarchy
to use.
I'm going to come at this from an angle where there are multiple school districts that may
or may not cover multiple cities, and I'm going to use the county page as my parent
page, and I'm using school districts as my top tier category.
If you were just using one school district with one city, you would use that city as
your parent page, and you would title this schools instead of school district, and you
would still use elementary, middle, high school or junior high school, whatever is popular
in your area.
For the sake of what I'm doing, I'm going with the multiple school districts that may
or may not cover multiple cities, so I've already created the categories.
How I did that was I put the title of what a wanted here and then I created a parent
category if it was elementary, high, or middle.
For school district, I did not.
And then I hit add a new category.
So we're going to create the pages under the county.
So what I want to do is add in a showcase page.
We're going to start with our school district, so I want to go ahead and name my school district.
We're going to create the slug here, which is going to be Sunny Unified School District
with the dashes between.
And then when I put my cursor in the category box link text, it's going to automatically
populate what it's going to show on the tab.
Now I'm just gonna add a random widget that was created, not school related, just so we
have something here.
I'm going to choose school district from my categories and my parent page is going to
be the county, so we're going to publish that page.
Now that's our school district page.
Now we want to create our elementary page, so let's go ahead and do that elementary school,
get our slug.
Add our widget.
And we're going to choose elementary school for our category.
Our parent page is now going to be the school district and publish.
Let's go ahead and create
Sunny Middle School.
This time we're going to choose middle school.
And again, our parent page is the school district and publish.
Then lastly, we're going to create our high school page.
Sunny High School and our parent page is the district.
So now we'll be able to go to our locations page.
So I'm going to visit the site to check this out.
Go to our locations where we see our county, and you'll see there is your browse by school
district.
Here's our school district we created and of course there would be others populating
out as you create. and then our our school district page.
You could see we have the elementary, high school, and middle school tabs that have those
schools listed.
Now, you can leave it this way if you like, or if you want them in order, how it would
be typically in order elementary, middle, then high school.
That's very simple to fix.
What you're going to want to do is edit the showcase page for your school district because
that's this page right here.
I'm going to go right up here to edit, showcase, and I'm going to go down to the bottom right
here where it says BREW showcase options, and what I'm gonna do is add a category box
here for elementary school.
Then I'm going to add another one for middle school and then I want to add the last one
for high school and that's going to put them in the correct order.
So, let's update our page.
Let's view, and as you can see now we have them in the typical order elementary, middle
school, high school.
Now, we can go back to our county and our school district.
So that's how you would build out your school pages, your school showcase pages.
Hope you found this video helpful.

Opinion | A wakeup call for Europe - Duration: 8:36.
By Nicolas Berggruen and Nicolas Berggruen Chairman of the Berggruen Institute and publisher of The WorldPost Bio Follow Nathan Gardels Nathan Gardels Bio September 27 at 11:29 AM A Torooc Liku artificial intelligence robot displayed at the Mobile World Congress Americas event in Los Angeles, California
September 13, 2018. (Patrick T. Fallon/Bloomberg) Nicolas Berggruen is chairman of the Berggruen Institute and publisher of The WorldPost
Nathan Gardels is the editor in chief of The WorldPost. PARIS — In the 1950s, French President Charles de Gaulle understood that if France wanted to create its own space for sovereign action in a world dominated by the United states and the Soviet Union, it had to possess its own nuclear force
Today, in the emerging global order dominated by the United States and China, artificial intelligence has become the most powerful resource that will determine the fate of nations in the times ahead
The only chance for not just France but Europe as a whole to remain a player is to participate fully in the development of AI
The robust competition between America and China is accelerating the rapid evolution of machine learning, which will transform all aspects of life from employment and the social contract to genetic engineering and warfare
The pace of change is so swift that being left behind will make it nearly impossible to catch up
If that happens, Europe will become irretrievably subordinated to the geopolitical algorithms of others
A new book by AI technologist and entrepreneur Kai-Fu Lee, "AI Superpowers: China, Silicon Valley and the New World Order," ought to serve as a loud wakeup call for Europe
Not surprisingly, Europe warrants little ink in Lee's book. As Lee sees it, while Silicon Valley and China are driving each other forward in the advance of AI, with an entrepreneurial frenzy abetted by abundant capital and a densely connected consumer base, Europe lacks a comparable innovation ecosystem or integrated digital marketplace
Its default alternative has been simply to accept the full platforms of the likes of Google, Facebook and Twitter
In essence, Europe has become a colony in the American tech empire. Because emergent technologies arise in response to social demand, Lee does, however, see an opening for Europe
While AI development in China and the United States is driven primarily by the quest for data and analytics that can be used commercially, Europeans are focused more on protecting the privacy of the user
As Lee told us in an interview: "That will cause the American giants some amount of trouble and may give local European entrepreneurs the chance to build something that is more consumer and individual-centric and that would go further than American companies would ever contemplate in protecting privacy
" Europe's leaders should seize this opportunity by fostering a continent-wide collaboration to put its distinct stamp on AI
The most promising prospect for Europe would be to blaze a different path than the United States or China
It could put its resources behind the proposal of Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the World Wide Web, to "re-decentralize" the Internet, both to assure a fairer allocation of the digital dividend and hand back control of personal data from big tech to individuals
This culture-bound constraint on data collection, in turn, would reorient the development of AI in a more social instead of consumer-marketing direction, which has been the main focus of both China and Silicon Valley
Europe could further choose to compete where it has an advantage in basic science
Just as Europe joined together to create the Large Hadron Collider, the world's largest particle accelerator, European nations could cooperate on a project to be the first to build super-intelligent machines, ones that surpass human capacities
The potential is there. The Scandinavian countries, of course, have long been engaged in the fray with such innovations as Skype and Spotify
Germany has its own digital modernization strategy, "Industry 4.0," aimed at upgrading its manufacturing base through machine-learning tools
And though not gaining much traction so far, Chancellor Angela Merkel has highlighted the importance of European Union investment in AI
She has even mused that Europe could present a third way for AI. France, a core nation of Europe alongside Germany, can make a critical contribution
As the most active modernizer on the European scene today, French President Emmanuel Macron is well positioned to promote Europe's role as a third pillar of the AI revolution
Like de Gaulle in his time, Macron has an intuitive sense of what it takes to stay in the game — and a bold political imagination to figure out how to do so
From his first days in office, he has focused on invigorating Europe's entrepreneurial culture and bolstering state support for innovation, especially in AI
"My goal is to recreate a European sovereignty in AI," he said. "If you want to manage your own choice of society, your choice of civilization, you have to be able to be an acting part of this AI revolution
" Drawing on his country's heritage as a cradle of scientific discovery and the Enlightenment, he has recruited the brainy mathematician and AI guru Cédric Villani to lay the foundation for France's effort
Macron is on the right track. The AI challenge may be just the summons a continent torn apart by persistent centrifugal forces — financial crisis, immigration and populism — needs to embrace unity more fully
An ambitious historic project aimed at reaping the economic benefits of AI, securing an independent presence for European values in the new world order and leading a scientific breakthrough to superintelligence would provide a binding narrative for a continent adrift
Such a moonshot vision would be far more compelling for Europeans than the tired pitch from Brussels that dourly sells a common Europe as canned spinach, something the paternal authorities say is good for you but that everyone hates
Belatedly grasping what is at stake, E.U. regulators are now taking rearguard action against American big tech through the General Data Protection Regulation and other means
But if Europe wants to get ahead of the game, to recover the sovereign ability to chart its own course, it needs an innovation ecosystem that makes it the author of its own algorithms while at the same time building on its unique strengths in science

S01 E16 Along For The Ride: Dan Bloomfield, Excavation - Duration: 11:49.
Good day to have Cam here, I guess. Hey, what's the worst that could happen on any job? Well, we could hit the water line
and flood out the trench.
Gotta go to Maverik, fuel this pig up and then
Thursday morning meeting, which we love, a lot and then
Head to the job
I've got two different tanks on here. I got the tank that
I can fuel all the equipment off of which we got to fill up too and then just my regular fuel tank
Hey Ali you're on camera
Professional guys, Professional.
We'll say 8:30..
Salt lake
Two houses shared a sewer lateral coming out of their house
So we're separating them up and running them both new nose-outs into the sewer main
Yeah, so we dug
from the two houses
And we have them
plumbed out, almost to the road
Yesterday when we started digging in the road
the city
water line was leaking and it blew my trenches out and
Started filling my trench up with water. So yesterday was kind of a bust
But we'll get it all finished up today
Just a ditch-digger, man
That's all I am. I'm the lead on the dig side which is the excavation side of Any Hour
Heavy equipment operator, so
You know for the sewer or water line needs to be replaced or just a spot repair
Here at Any Hour they can go out, they can diagnose the job with the you know, drain tech goes out there
He'll hand it off to a supervisor which will
see what the.. diagnose what the problem is and if it needs to come down to the dig side here we can go out and
Excavate it fix the problem for the customer and make everybody smile
Morning
Yeah
I got to pull that gravel box out and re-dig it or the trench box and re-dig it.
So we got to dig out to right here
It's been a tank, pretty much a tank on this job
Oh, yeah when as a kid yeah, well was kind of fascinated by the equipment but
How I got actually in the doing the job, I don't know I just kind of
kind of happened
I've run everything from cranes to
Dozers so
Done everything for 30 years
We'll dig out a little bit more and then we'll drop this one in and
Because the main is right
We're almost to the main
It's actually a pretty dangerous job so you don't ever want to get in a trench by yourself
Falls and collapses on you nobody there to pull you out
You're pretty much a goner.
So there's usually two of us
Alejandro, and I worked with Ali for 17 years. It's nice. We know each other
ya know really well so
That's what makes it fun.
So I just got the service on the east or the west house
But their mark is
Their mark is way off.
It's right over here but it's not over here
The sad thing was we were like right there. I was just cleaning the trench up
Goll, I haven't had a water line in like a year and a half. I just got my bucket where the water's hitting
The problem is my trench is filling full of water. They need to shut the main down
Just part of the job man stuff happens from time to time.
Gonna start bailing water out I guess
Get that shut down, get it sucked out we can be doing our stuff, while they do their stuff
I think it's slowing down
"I'm also stated right here that it measured three feet eight inches off of mark"
That's all I need to know.
Thanks, bud
It's fine I'll just dig the rest of it out
I'll take, clean out a little bit over here and then
Drop that box in so they go on this side and that side of that bell
Trying to get a hold of the guys for the tap I'm ready for the tap so
As soon as they want to get a hold of those guys we'll be ready for inspection, so we're under full pressure now and everything so
We're all good
How long?
107
So the first step is to see where it comes out of the house at the
transition
Take it from the transition bring it out to our main trench line
Brought it down to the main and tie it in now so
Just got to put her together
Gravel everything up and then
Grab my sheeps foot up there and roll everything in
Compact it in
Worked for Matt years ago at another company and things got slow
So I
Went up to the oil field for about six years. I had to have surgery on my elbow
Matt got a hold me when I was actually home. Ya know you're gone two weeks. You're home six days. You're gone two weeks
Just having surgery on my elbow. I realized how much family stuff I was really missing and
It was a good decision to come back home
We're almost done Cam
You guys have been great I really appreciate it, some jobs go super duper slick and wham-bam you're out
This is not one of them.
Ya had enough fun for one day?
The good thing is, you work this long and you miss rush hour.
We got the waterline fixed after it was mismarked and
Broke it, fixed it
Got the sewer line laid to the main
nose outs put on
Got the street compacted and back-filled.
I got a day of back-filling the yard tomorrow
Good times
Sorry about the sunburn Cam
See ya, you want to go get him, go get him
and cut!

Advice For The Other Spouse Part 1 | No Dumb Questions with Nancy Graham - Duration: 4:34.
Today is a special day here on "No Dumb Questions."
YOU may follow these videos regularly, but what about your spouse or partner?
If they don't, I hope they'll join us for this special edition … because today's
conversation involves both of you – especially if one of you is usually a little hands-off
on the money front.
I'll give you a few moments to go find your partner.
Okay, are we ready?
Are you both with us?
Here's today's couple-oriented "No Dumb Question": What should you do if one of
you is more financially engaged than the other … or even if you've just got different
approaches to how you manage your money?
That's a doozy of a question, don't you think?
I'll tackle it in just a moment.
First, for another great match-up, I hope both of you will sign up to be notified of
future "No Dumb Questions" by clicking here or following me on LinkedIn.
So, are you and your spouse or partner both ready to join me for today's couple-oriented
"No Dumb Question"?
I hope so, because a conversation about managing your joint assets won't be the same without
both of you attending.
Here's one thing I bet we can all agree on: There is no single path to THE perfect
financial partnership.
Over the years, I think I've seen as many creative ways to manage your family money
as I've seen couples planning for their happily-ever-after lives.
That said, while the details may vary, most long term relationships tend to fall into
two broad categories.
Sometimes, both partners remain fully engaged in managing the household wealth.
More often, one spouse becomes "the financially savvy one" in the family.
There's nothing wrong with taking a "divide and conquer" approach to your chores.
BUT, unlike cooking, cleaning or managing the home renovation project you have on the
go, I feel it's important for both of you to commit to have some skin to the game when
it comes to your financial interests.
First, for something as important as your wealth, I believe two heads truly are better
than one.
This is especially important if the two of you come to the table with significantly different
mindsets about earning, saving, investing, borrowing, budgeting and spending your shared
money.
That means it's almost always important.
To begin with, each of us is unique, and bring different skill sets to the table.
Each of us also has our own money "personality" to account for when planning for years of
relationship bliss.
Financial psychologist Brad Klontz suggests each of us tends to identify with one of four
kinds of money scripts: Some of us avoid money.
Others worship it.
Some consider it a status symbol, and others are especially frugal with it.
No script is inherently right or wrong.
But if the two of you aren't on the same page, it's well worth being aware of and
sensitive to one another's mindset when you talk about your wealth.
To summarize, the differences between you are exactly why it's so important that both
of you come to the table when you're planning for your future together.
In fact, a big part of my role as an advisor is to help couples sort out these sorts of
issues to arrive at positive outcomes.
There's one more reason it's so critical for both of you to be involved in your money
management.
The reality is, women usually outlive men … to the tune of about 5 years longer for
Canadians born in 2017.
Sorry, guys, but actuarial tables don't lie.
Plus, "gray" divorce for couples 65 and older is on the rise.
Ladies, or gentlemen, if you've long been the "delegating" spouse – the one who
delegates financial conversations – this doesn't bode well if you're suddenly in
charge.
Now, none of this means you both need to pore over every bank statement, investment statement
or tax return together.
It may still make plenty of sense in your busy lives if one of you serves as your family's
"Chief Financial Officer."
BUT, if one of you has assumed a secondary role in your wealth management, I do recommend
a few minimum rules of engagement.
That way, you can still assume the role of household CFO if you ever need or want to.
What might that level of engagement look like, and what are some of the emotional hurdles
that often stand in the way?
Subscribe to my "No Dumb Questions" series and I'll be sure to let you know when that
next video is released soon.
I'm Nancy Graham and this is No Dumb Questions.

Is Cory Booker Running for President in 2020? | Heavy.com - Duration: 12:33.
Is Cory Booker Running for President in 2020? | Heavy.com
Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey has been viewed as a possible contender for the Democratic nomination for president in 2020.
He has not stated definitively that he plans to run.
But his appearances stumping for other Democratic nominees for Congress, as well as his performance on the Senate Judiciary Committee during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, have raised speculation that he is indeed planning to challenge Donald Trump in 2020.
Here's what you need to know.
Senator Cornyn Accused Cory Booker of Violating the Rules of the Senate on September 6, 2018, in Order to Attract Attention.
On September 6, during the hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Senator Booker argued that the hearing could not continue until any and all documents relating to the judge's record be released.
He threatened to release a batch of emails that were said to contain language about racial profiling.
The emails had been deemed "committee confidential.".
During the ensuing debate in the chamber, Republican Senator John Cornyn called out Booker, accusing him of making a scene in order to raise his political profile.
He told Senator Booker, "Running for president is no excuse for violating the rules of the Senate, or of confidentiality of the documents that we are privy to.
This is no different from the senator deciding to release classified information that is deemed classified by the executive branch because you happen to disagree with the classification decision.
That is irresponsible and outrageous.
And I hope the senator will reconsider his decision because no senator deserves to sit on this committee or serve in the Senate if, in my view, if they decide to be law unto themselves and willingly flout the rules of the Senate and the determination of confidentiality in classification.
That is irresponsible and conduct unbecoming a Senator.".
Senator Booker did end up tweeting out the documents.
However, Committee chairman Chuck Grassley then unclassified them.
It's worth noting as well that the emails in question were in fact already in the public sphere, having been leaked to the New York Times.
Nevertheless, the moment put Senator Booker firmly in the spotlight that week.
His statement that this was his "I am Spartacus moment" went viral and prompted a huge number of memes and social media jokes.
Senator Booker Has Spent Most of His Free Time in 2018 Stumping for Democratic Candidates for Congress.
In June of 2018, as reported by CNN, Senator Booker acknowledged that he was open to considering a presidential run.
But he would not make that decision until the end of the year.
"I'm not going to play coy.
I'm sure after the midterm elections, I'll give it a look.
But to me, my momentum, my energy, my focus is 2018 and making sure I get re-elected in 2020.".
Meanwhile, he has raised his national profile by traveling around the country stumping for Democratic nominees for Congress.
He has campaigned alongside candidates in at least 20 states including Wisconsin, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Minnesota and Missouri.
It was recently announced that Booker would travel to South Carolina to stump for James Smith, who is running for governor.
South Carolina is one of the first states to hold primaries during presidential elections.
Senator Booker's upcoming appearance in Iowa has further raised speculation that he is going to run for president.
On October 6, he will headline the Iowa Democratic Party Fall Gala.
The fundraising event has been known to attract presidential candidates; Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders both spoke at the gala in 2015.
Booker Told Stephen Colbert in Early August That He Would Be Campaigning For a Second Senate Term in 2020.
Senator Booker played it cool during an appearance on the Late Show with Stephen Colbert in early August.
He discussed the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, stressing that "a lot is at stake in this moment," especially in terms of health care.
During the interview, Booker encouraged young voters to cast ballots during the midterm elections and to speak up about the issues most important to them.
"If America comes out and votes, I'm confident the right thing happens… people tell me that things are impossible.
But this country's history is a perpetual testimony to the achievement of the impossible when people are engaged, when people get involved, when people don't treat politics as a spectator sport.".
Colbert asked Senator Booker directly what his plans were for 2020.
Colbert said, "I will let you off the hook.
And let you know that you are running in 2020.".
Booker laughed, responding, "I am up for re-election as a United States senator in 2020.
So I will be running in 2020.".
A Slight Majority of New Jersey Voters Feel Cory Booker Should NOT Run for President, But a Majority Do Approve of His Performance as a Senator.
On August 22, 2018, Quinnipiac University released a poll asking New Jersey voters how they felt about Senator Cory Booker.
When asked whether he should run for president, a slight majority indicated they did not believe he was ready for the White House.
51 percent of total voters said Booker should NOT run for president.
A greater number of Republicans felt this way: 73 percent.
As for the Democrats, 53 percent of those voters responded that Senator Booker SHOULD run for president.
The poll also asked voters how they felt about Senator Booker's performance on Capitol Hill.
56 percent of total voters approve of his handling of the office.
However, that support is very partisan.
84 percent of Democrats show a favorable opinion of Senator Booker, compared to just 15 percent of Republicans.
71 percent of GOP voters disapprove of Senator Booker's performance.
Senator Booker in May of 2018: 'I Love the Job I Have'.
In May of 2018, during an event at the University of Chicago, Senator Booker at first appeared to shy away from the idea of running for president.
He stressed that he loves his job as a senator.
But he again mentioned that he would not make any final decisions until after the midterm elections.
"I don't know what the future's going to look like in terms of who's running.
When President Barack Obama ran, everyone in my region was on the Hillary train but I saw something in him that really inspired me… We are a long way away from this.
Senator Booker seemed to indicate that he did not want to get caught up in the "mosh pit of names" of people running for president.
"Maybe there's going to be somebody that you and I both will say, 'she's the one' and 'let's get involved in supporting them.' For me, and I tell my team all the time and this is not being coy, I'm focused on re-election in 2020.
That's where my energy is, that's what lights me up in the morning when I get to go to work and represent my state and speak to national issues and drive the national conversation, I love all those things.
After the midterms, let's take a look at the field and make a final decision then.".
The potential field of Democratic candidates for president could include: Senator Kamala Harris of California, Senator Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, former vice president Joe Biden, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, former U.S.
attorney general Eric Holder and New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu.

How to Create a Saved Search for IDX Broker Leads | Ballen Brands 2018 - Duration: 4:13.
Hello, this is Catherine Chadwick, Project Manager for Ballen Brands.
Today, I'm going to show you how to create a saved search for one of your leads.
To create that manually in your IDX Broker, you want to be logged into your IDX Broker
dashboard.
From there, you'll select Leads from the top menu, Leads from the secondary menu, and then
go to Manage.
That will take you to the screen that shows you a list of your leads, if you have them,
and you're going to want to go over to the right and click Lead Info, and this is going
to take you to the area with all of the leads, updates, pages they've been to, their saved
properties, and saved searches.
We're going to go to saved searches, and we're going to add a new saved search.
That's going to take you to a page that looks like this.
If there's no saved search already, I believe this add save search may be down here.
Either way, it'll be either to the right or to the left.
We're going to add a saved search.
Now at this point it becomes just like creating a widget like you would put on your webpage.
You have to go to advanced search, next step, and we're going to choose our criteria.
I'm going to choose Fort Lauderdale, and I'm going to choose homes between $500,000 to
a million.
I want homes that have an image, and I want to do 25 results per page because that creates
a good user experience, especially when so many users are on mobile devices these days.
I want to sort by newest listings first.
Now, you would choose whatever criteria that you want to go in your search for this particular
lead that you're creating, and I want to click view results in a new window so that I could
make sure that there are results populating for the search at this time.
There are, so now that I've done that, I'm going to scroll down and click next step and
that's going to ask me do I want the lead to receive updates?
Which of course I do.
That's why I'm creating it, so we want that checked and then we're going to create the
search name.
Now this is going to be something that is seen and so you want it to be kind of eye
catching and also descriptive.
So I might say newest Fort Lauderdale listings, yes.
And then save changes.
It's going to ask me what do I want to do now?
I'm going to go back to manage my leads, so I just, I'm going back to the original manage
leads page and then from here I can go back to lead info, back to saved searches.
And there you'll see the saved search that I completed,
I hope you found this helpful.
Make sure that you tune in to more of our videos for helpful tips and hints about IDX
Broker and your BREW.
