Waching daily Nov 5 2018

I think it's a really great opportunity

for high school students to get as much of a college experience as they can -

the chance to live away from home,

to learn away from home,

to learn what it means to share a space with someone they don't know,

someone that may even be from a different country who doesn't necessarily speak their language.

I think it's a great opportunity for personal growth for our students, as well as academic growth

So the summer courses are very similar to the courses I teach at Duke during the regular school year.

However, there is one difference.

And that one difference is that they're concentrated in a four-week period of time.

And four weeks is a very different experience

because we meet every day for two hours,

and that intensity gives a different experience, which I quite like.

The students, rather than taking several courses and splitting their time among a bunch of different topics,

can really focus on one class and really give it one-hundred percent.

And I think that very focused experience is a very intense representation of what college is like.

If I were to tell my friends why I like it so much

or why they should try to go to Summer Academy or Summer College at Duke,

it would probably be most because of the people here,

the style they teach, how they teach, and what knowledge they give.

We have lectures about different stuff,

where scientists come and talk about their experience,

their research, how to analyze their research, and how to write.

There's nothing holding you back.

Teachers are willing to help you, aid you, and give you advice.

If it's not the best class they've ever taken in their life, I've failed.

My goal is to...

That's what I'm aiming for, anyways,

To make it just the most fun, interesting, educational math class they have ever taken.

The pitch competition was the end of the year culmination.

Everyone had their projects.

And everyone gave a ten-minute pitch to a panel of judges.

The judges range from program coordinators

to actual entrepreneurs who have made lots of money in the world.

So yeah, really cool people involved.

The students got 10 minutes for each group to explain why the judge should invest in their team.

Basically, it's getting along with a group of people,

discovering something and trying to solve a problem.

We could use technology as our advance in doing that.

We create something and try to solve a problem.

There were a lot of great presentation skills.

I was extremely impressed by how some of them completely rose to the challenge.

And all of them had something great going on.

Different people in different classes have different experiences,

but if you take what you like,

what you prefer to do,

you are having fun.

I think that a lot of the fun comes from putting your effort into a project and working hard on it

and seeing it succeed in the end,

especially when you're surrounded among your friends.

I think that's just a pleasure that many things can't offer you.

We offer several different club opportunities for students to take part in.

We have an arts and crafts club.

We have photography.

We have a dance and drama club.

We have a club called "Life Hacks" where students learn different essentials for life

like cooking or being able to sew.

We also have a team sports club.

We have group fitness.

We try to organize movie nights and karaoke nights.

We try to make it as fun for students to have that balance.

I would have to say one of my favorite aspects of the programs are the dances

just because some of our students can be so serious and so studious,

it's really nice and fun to see another side of them.

Duke, it really felt, cares about their students,

and cared about the well-being of their students, too.

And I feel like that's what separates this program from many other summer programs.

I am preparing myself for much harder stuff with the help of Duke Summer College.

To be able to say they had this experience and the things they were able to learn from this experience

I think will be instrumental to them no matter what college they choose to attend.

It was really quick for me to make friends.

You meet new people. You study new stuff.

You learn how to be a college student.

You learn how to be independent.

You learn a lot of stuff.

I learned what it's like to be a scientist.

I'm really excited for what's to come.

Reducing Mandatory Minimum Sentences For Minor Drug Cases - Duration: 4:06.

You know, another story I think is important.

The Senate has advanced a bill that would reduce mandatory minimum sentences for minor

drug cases.

That's a positive step forward after decades, really, of backwards drug policy in the U.S.

Peter, I know that you're probably gonna have the same reaction that I have to this story,

okay?

Here it is.

They're throwing people in prison for 20 years.

I mean, minimum sentences of 20 years.

Some sentences, life to 25.

Now, let's talk about what the sentences are.

They are felony drug sentencing, okay?

Right.

Now, that means you're selling drugs on a street corner or you're a runner for a drug

... Whatever it may be.

You're hit three times, two times, actually ...

Life.

Life, you could be looking at life.

So, somebody in Congress said, really?

We're filling up our prisons.

We don't even have enough room for people in prisons now because of this.

[inaudible 00:01:01].

Yeah.

So, tell me what the changes would look like.

The changes are ... It's a comprehensive review of the whole criminal justice system, which

is the big, sweeping change.

But I think what you're seeing is, quite frankly, it's not far enough.

So it's ... Let me see if I can get this right.

The minimum sentence from 20 years to 15 for individuals who have a previous serious drug

felony conviction or serious violence.

So, that's 20 to 15.

And the next threshold that's reduced is the minimum of a life sentence to 25 years for

individuals who were previously convicted of two or more felony drug offenses.

That's the three strikes, you're out.

But that's felony drug offenses.

That could mean you have a possession over a certain amount is a felony ...

[crosstalk 00:01:46] It's not like three times, no violence involved, zero violence, throwing

the key away.

And what's so interesting is the test is ... They call it the Serious Drug Felony.

Right.

That's totally subjective.

A judge can determine this is serious because you were four ounces above what you should

have been, three times you're looking at potential life sentence.

Now interesting thing, here you are running the national case in opioids against these

legalized drug cartel types.

They're not talking to them about going to prison, they've caused more addiction in this

country than ever.

Jeff Sessions is out here saying, "I don't want any sentencing reform, I like the idea

of life ..."

He called it a grave era.

A grave era to have the type of sentencing reduction we're talking about.

Now on the other side of it, you've got Cardinal, you've got McKesson, you've got Amerisource,

you have Perdue that are nothing short of drug cartel criminals.

And to the [crosstalk 00:02:49].

And so there's no sentencing there, who's going to prison for them.

And I'll take it a step further, right now the DEA and Sessions' office, the Department

of Justice, were trying to get in that litigation, the ARCOS database, which shows where the

holes are, where all the diversion is.

Sessions' office is delaying the production of that data that's the roadmap around the

country about where the problems are, and he won't produce it.

Yet this is [crosstalk 00:03:16].

So in other words, the same little freak Jeff Sessions saying, "We don't wanna change any

sentencing, we want the kid that's selling dope on the corner to spend life ...

Let's call it what it is.

The white guys wearing suits and the eight figure salaries, walk free, no oversight.

The guy on the street corner wearing a hoodie is going to jail for 30 years.

Real quick, is there any question ... Now I was a prosecutor, I don't know if ... You

didn't come up as a prosecutor.

I didn't, I didn't.

I can tell you, the facts that I know, the facts you've let me be aware of because of

you, because of the work you've done on this case, there's zero question that I could have

everyone of those people prosecuted and put in prison for life.

But you know what, little Jeff Sessions, he ain't interested in that.

He's interested in, as he puts it, this grave era of sentence reduction.

HOW TO FISH FOR RAINBOW TROUT + HELPING A FARMER | Team Galant - Duration: 11:37.

Hello fishermen!

I'm currently out with Skinnet Axelsson

... and we'll be fishing for rainbow trout in a small pond.

Skinnet is familiar with the pond's owner, a farmer

... he requests our help to catch a few rainbow trouts for the winter.

Hopefully we'll have a successful session

... however it's quite cold, around -2 °C which could result in the fishing being a bit slower in the morning.

Will be fun to fish for rainbow trout since I usually don't fish for them.

I didn't bring my trout gear since I wasn't expecting us to fish for them

... however I've brought my perch gear with me, probably works as great.

I have a dropshot rig tied to my line since I pursued perch fishing yesterday.

I'm excited to see if dropshot can deliver something, using the Monkey Fry.

If I don't manage to catch something using this I'll swap in order to find what's most optimal.

These fish are not exposed to fishermen so the chances are quite big for us

... but it's unclear since the cold could have an impact.

I'm making my first cast for today.

We've been fishing for 10 minutes and since both of us have no patience

... Skinnet will be throwing out some pellets. Usually triggers them, if they are still alive.

Here's a handful of pellets. - Go for it.

Do they usually start feeding that quick? - Yeah they do.

There they are.

There's plenty of fish here. - That one seemed quite big.

This is how the pellets look. Regular pellets for rainbow trout.

What's the chance of us managing to catch one? - We've noticed their presence, of course we'll get them.

How hard can it be? - Quite hard.

-1 °C. - But they did feast?

True so we should be able to catch a few.

We've tried plenty of tactics such as jigs, wobblers and dropshot without a single contact

... however each time we released pellets into the pond the activity increased.

So I'll be cheating using pellets, hopefully with success.

I've attached my line to a treble hook size 3 to my dropshot tackle instead of the single hook

... followed up with my rainbow trout pellets. Quite difficult getting the pellet stuck on the hook.

In the best scenario a fish will inhale the pellets and the hook

... hopefully works out.

Fish on!

Holy!

We've been using lures without result for a long time

... so as you saw I swapped to using pellets with immediate result.

It's strong.

Decent size.

Not enormous but still decent.

Enjoyable! The reel is screaming!

It keeps fighting.

No!

Despite I lost it, we'll probably catch another one.

There!

I need to be more careful since I lost the previous fish

... I would prefer not losing this, but my hook is extremely small.

I need to be patient with it. Not as big as the one before.

Be ready with the net.

Thank you!

How fun! Managed to catch the first rainbow trout.

Their beautiful appearance is a result of them living here for a long time, no fin damage. - 2 years.

I'll pick him up.

Slippery.

I'm feeling like a slaughter fisherman.

The thing is, these fish need to be removed since they're farmed and will be dinner.

It's rough but that's how we do it, it's okay.

Check it out. Stunning fins, no damage.

Benefits of fishing from a private pond.

Me teaching you how to kill a fish has never occurred before

... but I'll teach you.

You place the fish at firm ground

... using something hard, such as a rock

... and just hit it right above the head.

I'm feeling like a savage. Holding a dead dirty rainbow trout.

Lovely to bring home and eat. A nice fish.

I think we'll manage some more Skinnet.

There! It's big.

It's big.

I'll have to fight this fish for a while. My hook is so small.

It's stuck in the weeds.

Yes!

Decent fish!

Plenty of seaweed as you can see in this pond.

One of the most beautiful rainbow trout I've ever seen.

Check these colors out. The fins are also intact and beautiful.

Mesmerizing creatures.

Such enjoyable fishing.

A couple of rainbow trouts before heading home.

I've mentioned it before but they're so stunning compared to other put and take ponds.

Nice fat fish around 2 kg probably.

Time for it to become winter food for the farmer.

Fish!

Holy!

So much fun.

Since my hook is quite small I can't fight it too aggressively.

I wouldn't prefer my hook being straightened.

Powerful fish.

Let's see if I'm able to net it by myself since the farmer went eating.

Got it!

Love this fishing.

A good amount of great sized fish in this pond.

Shiny and beautiful.

My third fish for today. The activity has increased probably due to the rise of temperature.

We'll probably catch a few more. I keep repeating how beautiful they are but I can't get enough.

We're done fishing for today, a short enjoyable session.

But now we'll pack up since the farmer invited us for dinner as thanks. - It's my uncle.

Couldn't turn out better - fishing for free and receiving a free meal as exchange.

Thanks for today, don't forget to follow me and Skinnet on Instagram and Facebook, links are in the description. - @Skinnets

Take care, tight lines! Bye!

Zehut's Innovative Transportation Proposals for Israel - Duration: 3:02.

The horrifying accidents that we have seen over the past days, especially on highway 90

and other places return me to my personal experience, what I endured with my family

It is a nightmare that we must deal with and truly deal with

As you know and as I have written a number of times

Zehut will bring a totally new type of legislation

that will restore the dimension of responsibility to our highways and will relate to traffic accidents

from a legislative perspective

But I want to talk with you about something broader

a strategic look at how we will drive to work and return home

according to Zehut's perspective

The State of Israel is developing more and more highways and railways

We salute that, that is how it should be and it is excellent

But the answer is not there

It is not only there.

Because it is clear that the rate at which more cars enter the roads will always be greater than the rate of paving and infrastructure development

The answer is in the integration of autonomic vehicles

along with ridesharing companies like Uber and others

It is in the integration of both. Imagine that you call for a vehicle with your app

and in a minute or two - no more

an autonomous driverless vehicle appears at your entrance

that fits the size and shape that you need

It doesn't take up more space on the road than is necessary

It travels like a train, in short distances from place to place

at high speed on the road

It doesn't look for a parking space, it lets you out and immediately proceeds to the next customer

In short, we are talking about an entirely different world of travel

that is already here. These vehicles are not science fiction

They are already on the roads in some states in the US

Uber is also working in the entire world, just in Israel it is delayed for all sorts of reasons

Israel must be at the forefront of the use of these means

The technology is Israeli technology

the autonomous technology

We must enter this mindspace

Less construction of more and more infrastructure

and opening up to the forefront of technological traffic solutions

that are already working in the world.

This is the answer. Otherwise, we will be getting to work later and later

we will return from work later and later and God forbid, we will have more and more accidents.

The answer is in autonomous technology.

In another twenty or thirty years it will be autonomous hovercraft

But at least what already exists. Let's work like we knew how to work in many other realms

and get to the forefront of the world stage

DRG: Life-Changing Technology for Chronic Pain - Duration: 2:46.

It's as close to a medical miracle that I've seen in my 30 years of doing pain management.

It's exciting technology designed by Abbott that's empowering people to just go out and live their lives.

DRG Therapy provides relief from difficult to treat chronic pain of the lower limbs

in patients with complex regional pain syndrome.

It's a huge deal. One in five people in the world suffer from chronic pain.

My life is just nothing like it was before I had my first knee surgery.

CRPS is an ongoing pain when you wake up in the morning it's there, when you go to sleep at night it's there.

People who are suffering, they've lost their quality of life.

They can't work, they're not mobile.

We don't really understand why it occurs and it can be quite debilitating.

Because you are in so much pain, it's a very isolated life.

This is the actual implant design that we start with.

It represents the circuitry that we eventually miniaturized down into this small board.

Proclaim DRG stimulates the Dorsal Root Ganglion, a bundle of nerves that joins the spinal cord.

We're able to target lower limb pain, very effectively.

This technology is really revolutionary in that as compared to previous technologies,

we can stimulate the exact areas you want to bring relief.

What does this mean for you?

Freedom. Really, freedom from the opioids, freedom to get a social life.

We are the first implant to use bluetooth which allowed us to have people use a device they were really familiar with,

and communicate directly with their implant.

So, this green button that says, "therapy is on" means it's on and working.

Okay.

When I came in this morning, I was in discomfort.

Difficulty walking, but I feel a sense of calm right now with this leg.

It's like a miracle when you've been suffering with this.

Mentally and physically I'm feeling better.

The reaction that I've seen is overwhelming.

People are often crying right in the recovery room.

I felt how I used to feel.

This is a gift to reclaim my life.

I love solving puzzles, at home but it just requires time.

You just look for the piece that fits.

At work, we are looking for the perfect fit, but the impact to people's lives is huge.

Pharrell, Meghan Trainor, Amy Schumer & More to Appear on Telethon For America | Billboard News - Duration: 1:11.

If all of the social media posts in recent weeks telling you to go out and vote didn't get

the job done - YouTube is making one final effort to convince you to hit the polls

on Tuesday. Pharrell, Meghan Trainor, Amy Schumer, Jessica Alba and even more

are set to appear on Get Out The Vote Telethon for America Monday night

live on YouTube. The non-partisan two-hour first of its kind special will encourage

viewers to call in and chat with the 50-plus celebs manning the phone banks in

exchange for the viewers' pledge to go out and vote Tuesday. Other stars expected

to appear include Judd Apatow, Natalie Portman, Foster The People, and Kevin Smith.

The livestream is hoping to inspire young voters specifically, after a recent Reuters

poll revealed just 25 percent of people aged 18-29 said they were definitely going to vote

in the election. That makes for the lowest percentage of any age group.

The event will take place from a Google space in LA and begins at 9 PM

Eastern, streaming on YouTube, Facebook Live and Comedy Central's website.

NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Saints Calling for Respect | Heavy.com - Duration: 5:35.

NFL Power Rankings Week 10: Saints Calling for Respect | Heavy.com

Week 9 had a little something for everyone, especially in the Rams-Saints matchup.

Our latest NFL power rankings have a lot of shakeups thanks to the Saints upset victory over the Rams.

Los Angeles sat atop the power rankings for quite some time, but we finally have a new leader in the NFL season.

The Saints and Rams gave us lots of offense, a major comeback, and even a cell phone celebration.

New Orleans' Michael Thomas paid homage to former Saints wide receiver Joe Horn, who famously reached under the goal post to grab a flip phone after scoring a TD more than a decade ago.

Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr implored fans not to take the moment too seriously.

"For people of a certain age, that Horn celebration was an introduction into their current love affair with football," Orr explained.

"The advent of their Madden halcyon days.

A memorable highlight for those watching the Sunday recap shows, manually calculating their fantasy football scores before the Monday posting.".

After the game, Thomas noted he just wanted to give the Saints crowd something to feed off of in a major game.

"I paid a tribute to him, tried to get the crowd going a little bit more, set the tone, have fun out there, giving people a show," Thomas explained to ESPN.

"You gotta have fun.

All these guys just catching touchdowns and celebrating with each other, having fun, getting the crowd involved.

I felt like I had an opportunity to make it happen, put the game away and make a call.".

The Rams-Saints Matchup Could Be a Preview of the NFC Championship.

Regardless of what you thought of the touchdown celebration, we can agree that the Rams-Saints game lived up to the hype.

If we end up seeing a rematch of this contest in the NFC Championship, I think most football fans would be happy.

Elsewhere, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes continued his hot streak, while the Patriots slowly pulled away from the Packers.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid noted he is not worried that Mahomes early success will go to his quarterback's head.

"You appreciate him when you're around him every day and just the spirit that he brings, the attitude he has," Reid explained to ESPN.

"You don't even worry about him getting a big head or getting complacent.

It's a weird deal.

He just goes out and he plays.

He works hard and he loves doing it.

He just goes about his business the way you're supposed to do it.".
