Wounded Ryan faces new battle.
BY SCOTT WONG.
A wounded Paul Ryan is facing another potential crisis over the next month.
The Speaker, who saw his years-long effort to repeal �ObamaCare collapse last week
after a rebellion on the right, must come up with a plan to fund the federal government
and avert a shutdown.
The Wisconsin Republican will face many of the same tricky intraparty dynamics as he
tries to keep the government running.
Funding expires in about a month, on April 28, but the House is taking a two-week recess
in mid-April, leaving negotiators just a few legislative work weeks to reach a deal.
The stakes are extremely high for the GOP.
A government shutdown, similar to the one orchestrated by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and
his House allies in 2013, would confirm what many Democrats and political pundits are already
saying: Republicans, despite controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress,
simply can�t govern.
Two of the biggest hurdles to keeping the government�s lights on are conservatives�
insistence that the spending package include billions for President Trump�s border wall
and that it block all federal dollars for Planned Parenthood.
Trump has requested $1.5 billion in supplemental funding for what he�s called his �big,
beautiful wall,� plus another $2.6 billion in his 2018 budget request.
But Senate Democrats have threatened to filibuster the must-pass spending bill if it includes
money for a wall, sparking a shutdown standoff over one of the president�s chief campaign
promises.
On top of that, some Republicans from border states � including Senate Majority Whip
John Cornyn (Texas), Armed Services Chairman John McCain (Ariz.) and Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.)
� are highly skeptical of Trump�s wall, citing concerns about the price tag and private-property
rights.
A trio of House Republicans who represent border districts � Reps. Martha McSally
(Ariz.), Steve Pearce (N.M.) and Will Hurd (Texas) � also have been wary of Trump�s
wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Speaker earlier this year called constructing the wall �urgent� and a national security
necessity.
But recognizing the high 60-vote threshold in the Senate, Ryan will be under enormous
pressure to send over a House bill with zero or limited wall funding.
�The border wall should be talked about, shouldn�t be rammed down people�s throats,�
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday on ABC�s �This Week.�
�It�s got a big problem that Republicans in border states are opposing � Texas, Arizona
� because there�s eminent domain, so you have to take private land.
� My prediction: It wouldn�t get the votes on either the Democratic or Republican side.�
The archconservative House Freedom Caucus scuttled the �ObamaCare repeal legislation
on Friday after Trump and Ryan refused to cave to the group�s demands.
The defeat of the bill prompted an aggressive round of GOP finger-pointing.
Trump tweeted that the Freedom Caucus, along with conservative allies Club for Growth and
Heritage Action, �saved Planned Parenthood and Ocare� since defunding the women�s
health services provider had been included in the bill.
Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) resigned from the Freedom Caucus.
�Saying no is easy.
Leading is hard,� he said.
Meanwhile, Trump directed his Twitter followers to tune in to Jeanine Pirro�s show on Fox
News shortly before the conservative host launched a broadside against Ryan, calling
on him to resign as Speaker.
Trump�s top aides said the president still has Ryan�s back and had no idea Pirro was
going to rip the Speaker.
For now, calls for Ryan�s ouster don�t appear to be resonating with lawmakers on
Capitol Hill.
Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who successfully forced then-Speaker John
Boehner (R-Ohio) into an early retirement in 2015, insisted there are �no conversations�
about removing Ryan � a sentiment echoed by some of Meadows�s conservative colleagues.
�Paul Ryan did the best he could under the circumstances to bring together a variety
of different viewpoints and backgrounds of 230-some-odd Republican congressmen,� Rep.
Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said last week as the health insurance effort crumbled.
�I think that Paul Ryan did a very good job as Speaker of the House, considering the
difficulty of the issue and the variety of the opinions that are reflected in the Republican
conference,� Brooks added.
The Freedom Caucus, which has about three dozen members, has not taken a formal position
on Trump�s border wall.
But the group has shown a willingness to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood
funding, just as it threatened to do in a game of brinkmanship with Boehner in September
2015.
Rather than go along with the group�s demands, Boehner said he would resign the following
month.
Then he struck a two-year deal with then-President Obama that raised the debt limit and set higher
spending levels � an agreement that was meant to �clean the barn� and make things
easier for his successor, Ryan.
Now it�s Ryan�s turn to reach a funding deal.
With the spectacular failure of the �ObamaCare repeal bill, the Freedom Caucus will almost
certainly insist the funding bill include a provision to defund Planned Parenthood.
But Ryan and GOP leaders, while supportive of that provision, also are keenly aware such
a bill can�t pass the Senate.
Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong declined to comment on specific provisions that could
be included in the funding bill.
But White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday refused to say that Trump would
demand the defunding provision be included in the funding bill, an apparent acknowledgement
of the difficulty of passing it through the upper chamber.
�I don�t want to get ahead of our legislative strategy,� Spicer said.
One senior GOP appropriator said Monday that it�s time for the party to demonstrate it
can handle the basic responsibilities of governing.
�To me, we ought to focus on things we know we can do and we have to do.
We haven�t finished the �17 appropriations bill.
We�re halfway through the �18 fiscal year.
So, I mean, we need to get that done,� Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said during an appearance
on MSNBC�s �Morning Joe.�
�We need to think about things like getting a realistic budget done, doing a debt ceiling
vote, which I think will probably have to be bipartisan.�
Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), said his outside conservative group
has not taken any positions on whether the border wall or Planned Parenthood defunding
should be included in the spending bill.
Instead, he said AFP is urging Congress to return to a regular-order budget process that
will help drive down spending.
�For a decade now, we�ve had a catch-all budget process, which is not healthy for the
country and not healthy for restraining spending,� Phillips said in a phone interview.
�We need to get away from careening from fiscal crisis to fiscal crisis.
I don�t think anyone wants a shutdown,� he added.
�We want to see Congress get back to a regular-order budget.
That offers the best opportunity
to regaining fiscal discipline.�

The number e explained in depth for (smart) dummies - Duration: 18:38.
Welcome to another Mathologer video.
A while ago I did this video in which i
wanted to explain the mysterious
identity e to the i pi is equal to
minus 1 to Homer Simpson who encountered
it in one of the Treehouse of Horror
episodes. So my mission was to explain
why this identity is true to someone who
knows only basic arithmetic: plus, minus, times, divided
Today I'd like to do the same
for the other fundamental facts about
the number e. These fundamental facts
I'm thinking of include this truly
amazing identity here that expresses the
exponential function as an infinite sum.
I'll first show Homer and you how you can
derive this identity from scratch just
using basic arithmetic. Then we can set x
equal to 1 and use the resulting sum to
calculate an arbitrary number of digits
of e. Now here the main point is to
figure out when you can stop adding the
terms of this infinite sum and be
absolutely sure that you've calculated
the first, say 1 million digits of e or
however many digits you are after.
Then i'll show you that e is an
irrational number, why e cannot be
written as a fraction. And for the finale
I have to catch Homer on one of those
days that he's super smart, that he knows
a little bit of calculus for example. The
finale is about showing why the
exponential function is its own
derivative, some super famous facts about
the natural logarithm, the inverse of the
exponential function and a couple of
other super cool insights to round
things off. Now the main point of
the video is to show you WHY all these
things are true and not just talk about
them like it's usually done on YouTube
and to show this to you in as elementary
and accessible way as possible.
As usual please let me know in the comments
how I did in this respect. In the e to
the I pi video I first showed Homer that
if he invests one dollar at an interest
rate of one hundred percent and
compounds the interest N times during
one year he'll have that many dollars at
the end of the year. For example, if you
compound twice you end up with two
dollars and twenty-five cents. Now the
more often you compound the interest,
that is, the larger the N, the more money
you'll have by the end of the year. But
this amount does not grow forever.
There's a limiting value and this
limiting value is the number e which is
approximately 2.718. Then I show Homer
that this actually extends in a
straightforward way to the exponential
function. So plug in any value for x like
for example 5, crank up the N and in the
limit you get exactly e to the power
of 5. Then we just go for it and plug in
i pi for x and see what happens when we
crank up N. Translating all this into
geometry leads to this neat complex
number pokeball there. It looks like a
pokeball right? The green point shows what
complex number we are dealing with for N=6
Then cranking up N you
can see the green point tending towards
-1 and so e to the i pi is equal to
minus 1. Super neat, check it out. For
today I'll return to this point of the
argument here and branch off. Now
let's try something super natural. I think
anybody would try this. Let's expand the
right side for a couple of small N and
see whether we can see some sort of
pattern. So N equals 1, nothing to
expand here. N equal to 2, I'm sure
everybody watching can do this. N equal
to 3 and equal to 4, and so on. A couple
of patterns are emerging, right? In terms
of green and blue bits it's clear how
this continues. What about those other
numbers? Well, there's also a pattern and
I'm sure many of you will be familiar
with it from school. These are binomial
coefficients and can be written like
this. We've got our pattern right there.
But before we carry on just a reminder
that there is a special way to write and refer to the
denominators 1, 1 x 2, 1 x 2 x 3, and so on.
For example, 1 x 2 x 3 is written three exclamation mark
and it's called 3 factorial. And there we
have 1 and 2 factorial. Now that we've
established a pattern let's crank up the
N and replace 4 by something big, say
1000. All right, so here we go. Now what I
want to do is swap things like that. And
what I mean by this is I want to swap 1!
by 1000, 2! by a
thousand squared and 3! by a
thousand cubed. And so on so let's just
do it. Now let's have a look at the
fractions. Okay this guy here is equal to
1. That one is equal to 1 too. What about
that one here? Well it's close to 1 and
as we replace 1000 by larger and larger
values this fraction will tend to 1. All the
other fractions that you see here also
go to 1 and so all the numbers here will
go to 1. And so in the limit we get
this identity here. And if you are a
mathematician you can dot all the i's and
cross all the t's to prove that this
amazing identity is really always true
No matter what you plug in here for X. If
you know more maths you may have seen
this identity before but derived in a
very different way and in a more general
context. In that general context it's
called the Maclaurin series of the
exponential function and there it is
derived using calculus. Setting X
equal to 1 we get this identity here and
it allows us to approximate e by adding
more and more of those simple terms. Now,
as promised, and i hope Hormer is still with
us, there's only basic arithmetic and
some glossing over details involved.
Before we calculated e by cranking up
the N in this expression here. In
terms of using this expression to
actually calculate a good approximation
for e the problem is that every time we
up the N we have to start afresh and
discard everything that we've
done so far. More importantly, although we
know that we get e in the limit, to start
with we have no idea how large an N we
have to choose to be able to guarantee
that we found correct to the desired
number of digits. On the other hand, the
infinite sum is much much more
user-friendly in this respect. As we add
more and more of those simple terms our
approximation gets better and better and
it's also very easy to estimate how well
an approximation a chopped-off partial
sum is. So here if top of the infinite
sum at the 8th term. How close does this
get us to e? Well, the error or the
difference between e and this
approximation is just the sum of the
remaining terms. Let's estimate how large
this error is. the 8! at the
bottom is just 1 x 2 x and so on to 7
which is 7! times 8.
9! is 7! times 8 times 9,
and so on. Let's pull out the 1/7!
Now the bracket is still very
complicated so let's do something
drastic, let's replace the 8, 9, 10, etc.
in the denominators by 2s. This
gives the new simpler expression. Is this
new simpler expression greater or
smaller than the error? Well we're going
down in all the yellow denominators, so
that means that the new expression has
to be greater, right? But now it's really
easy to see that in the brackets we have
1/2 plus 1/4 plus 1/8, and so
on which you all know is equal to 1.
And so to summarize, the error we
make by chopping the sum off at the
1/N! th term is equal to 1/N!
which is very good because
1/n! gets very small
very quickly. So let's just put down all
the numbers in sight here. If we focus on
the zeros in the estimate for the error
it seems clear that our approximation
will be correct in the first
four digits, right, and it is. So this
means that if we wanted to have some fun
calculating the first 1 million digits
of e from scratch, to pinpoint how many
terms of the infinite sum we'd have to
add we simply have to figure out which
number we have to substitute 7 by to get
a million zeros at the beginning of the
estimate at the bottom. Can someone
discuss in the comments why, just going
with what I've shown you so far, one
might want to aim for a million and one
zeros instead of just a million.
Anyway, in this way you can figure out
that you have to add a little more than
the first 205,000 terms of the infinite sum
to be able to guarantee a million
digits of e, very neat, right? And maybe
surprisingly the sort of thinking that
went into all this is also very
applicable. In fact, you use infinite sums
and estimations like this all the time
to come up with approximations of
complicated numbers that are accurate
enough for practical purposes.
It also turns out, and this really is
very surprising I think, that this
estimate for the error also gives a
straightforward way to prove that e is an
irrational number, that no fraction is
equal to e. Are you ready for some real
magic? Okay, so let's summarize what we've
done so far like this. On the left side
we have the difference between the true
value and the approximation, that's the
error, right? And we've seen that this
error is less than 1/7!
Now let's warm up by using this
inequality to show that one particular
fraction, 19/7 is not equal to e. Why 19/7 ?
Well, it does not really matter what
fraction we start with. The only reason
for us using 19/7 is that it has a 7
in the denominator which will mesh in
nicely with the other 7s that are
already floating around here. Can e be
equal to 19/7 ? Well, let's assume it is.
Then we've got this inequality up there.
19/7 minus the junk in the brackets is
less than 1/7!
Okay, now all the denominators on the
left divide 7! , right? Just
think about it for a moment. Yes they
divide 7! which means that we can
combine the left side into a fraction
with denominator 7! where
the ? stands for 1 or 2 or 3 or some
other positive integer. So IF 19/7
was really equal to e, THEN we just
showed this fraction, the error would
be 1/7! or larger. But, and
this is really the punchline, we already
know that the error is definitely
smaller than 1/7! . So our
assumption that 19/7 is equal to e
implies a statement that is obviously false.
So this means that our assumption, that
19/7 is equal to e must have been
false to start with. Tada! Okay you
probably didn't see that coming, right? To
show that e is not equal to any fraction
a/b we simply have to adjust our
argument like this: first replace 19/7
by a/b. Then, instead of summing up
to 1/7! we sum up to
1/b! . The estimate then also
changes to 1/b! and this
statement down here is still impossible
which implies that no fraction can be
equal to e or, in other words, that e is
irrational. Now you may have to watch
this part of the video again to really
get what is going on here. What makes
this proof work is the fact that the
close approximation to here on the left
is super close in the sense that it can
be written as a fraction that differs
from e in less than 1 over its
denominator. Similar super close
approximations to pi and other
irrational numbers also play a crucial
role in proving the irrationality and
transcendence of these numbers. Actually
a video on transcendental numbers is
next on my to-do list, so stay tuned.
The Simpsons singing nonsensical stuff...
(announcer) Tonight's Simpsons episode was
brought to you by the symbol Umlaut
and the number e, not the letter e but
the number whose exponential function is
the derivative of itself. (Mathologer) Hmm, the
exponential function is the derivative
of itself. Before I deal with this
congratulation to Homer and you for
making it this far. For this last part of
the video I'll assume that you do know a
little bit of calculus. In particular
I'll assume that you know what the
derivative of a function is. If you need
an introduction or a refresher check out
this video up there and then return here
or just sit back and admire the
mathematical magic doing its thing. Okay
we want to convince ourselves that the
exponential function is the derivative
of itself. Because of this identity the
derivative of the exponential function
is just the derivative of 1 plus the
derivative of this term plus the
derivative of that term, and so on so.
What's the derivative of x cubed divided
by 3! for example? Let's see: 3!
is 1 times 2 that's 2!
times 3. The derivative of x
cubed is 3 x squared. The 3s cancel
and of course what remains is equal to
this term here. So the derivative of x
cubed divided by 3! is simply
the previous term and you can check that
the derivative of that previous term is
the term before that. And the derivative
of that term is 1 and the derivative of
1 is 0, and so on. And so you can see that
the derivative of all the junk on the
right side is again the right side which
means the exponential function is its
own derivative. Fantastic, right? So, if you
made it up to here there is no reason to
stop. Let's use this insight for something
fun. The natural logarithm
log X is the inverse of the exponential
function. This means that e to the log X
is equal to X. Let's find the derivative
on both sides. The derivative of X is 1
and the derivative on the other side,
well we need that exponential function
its own derivative and the chain rule
for that but then we get this.
Now we have a close look and you see two
bits that are the same which means we
can also write X down here. Now divide
and we've got one of those super famous
facts from calculus, that the derivative of
log X is 1/X. Wonderful! And now I'm
just going to go for it. So integrate and
we get this guy here. We substitute e for
X and that gives this guy here. Now on
the right side we've got log e and
obviously that's equal to 1 since our
logarithm is base e. Almost there !
The standard geometric interpretation of
this definite integral here is that the
area under the graph of 1/X between
1 and e is exactly equal to 1. Now many
people are under the impression that, unlike
pi the number e does not have a nice geometric
interpretation. Well here we've got one,
right, in terms of the hyperbola which is
both the graph of 1/X and a basic
geometric shape closely related to pi's
circle. This is the way to remember it:
open up this yellow curtain here under
the hyperbola until it's area is exactly
one and you've found e. All right, now to
wrap things up I'll quickly sketch how
you can also use our infinite sum
identity to derive e to the i pi is
equal -1 and that's the
standard way this is done in calculus. There are also
ways to write the sine and cosine
functions as infinite sums like this.
After substituting i X for X in the top
identity and multiplying the sine
identity in the middle by i we've got
exactly the same stuff in the purple
and the blue boxes. Now since we're
dealing with identities, the same has to
be true on the left. So the contents of
the purple box is equal to the sum of
what's in the blue box, and this is
Euler's formula, super famous, right? Now
I go over all this slowly in this other
Simpson based video up there. So if you,
you know, want it a bit slower, check it
out. After plugging in pi for X the
right side becomes -1 which then
brings us full circle back to Euler's
identity. If you've made it this far
you've really earned yourself the
Mathologer's extra huge seal of approval.
So, as usual, I'm very interested in
finding out how well all these
explanations work for you. So please let
me know in the comments. And that's all
for today.

Wounded Ryan faces new battle.
BY SCOTT WONG.
A wounded Paul Ryan is facing another potential crisis over the next month.
The Speaker, who saw his years-long effort to repeal �ObamaCare collapse last week
after a rebellion on the right, must come up with a plan to fund the federal government
and avert a shutdown.
The Wisconsin Republican will face many of the same tricky intraparty dynamics as he
tries to keep the government running.
Funding expires in about a month, on April 28, but the House is taking a two-week recess
in mid-April, leaving negotiators just a few legislative work weeks to reach a deal.
The stakes are extremely high for the GOP.
A government shutdown, similar to the one orchestrated by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and
his House allies in 2013, would confirm what many Democrats and political pundits are already
saying: Republicans, despite controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress,
simply can�t govern.
Two of the biggest hurdles to keeping the government�s lights on are conservatives�
insistence that the spending package include billions for President Trump�s border wall
and that it block all federal dollars for Planned Parenthood.
Trump has requested $1.5 billion in supplemental funding for what he�s called his �big,
beautiful wall,� plus another $2.6 billion in his 2018 budget request.
But Senate Democrats have threatened to filibuster the must-pass spending bill if it includes
money for a wall, sparking a shutdown standoff over one of the president�s chief campaign
promises.
On top of that, some Republicans from border states � including Senate Majority Whip
John Cornyn (Texas), Armed Services Chairman John McCain (Ariz.) and Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.)
� are highly skeptical of Trump�s wall, citing concerns about the price tag and private-property
rights.
A trio of House Republicans who represent border districts � Reps. Martha McSally
(Ariz.), Steve Pearce (N.M.) and Will Hurd (Texas) � also have been wary of Trump�s
wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Speaker earlier this year called constructing the wall �urgent� and a national security
necessity.
But recognizing the high 60-vote threshold in the Senate, Ryan will be under enormous
pressure to send over a House bill with zero or limited wall funding.
�The border wall should be talked about, shouldn�t be rammed down people�s throats,�
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday on ABC�s �This Week.�
�It�s got a big problem that Republicans in border states are opposing � Texas, Arizona
� because there�s eminent domain, so you have to take private land.
� My prediction: It wouldn�t get the votes on either the Democratic or Republican side.�
The archconservative House Freedom Caucus scuttled the �ObamaCare repeal legislation
on Friday after Trump and Ryan refused to cave to the group�s demands.
The defeat of the bill prompted an aggressive round of GOP finger-pointing.
Trump tweeted that the Freedom Caucus, along with conservative allies Club for Growth and
Heritage Action, �saved Planned Parenthood and Ocare� since defunding the women�s
health services provider had been included in the bill.
Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) resigned from the Freedom Caucus.
�Saying no is easy.
Leading is hard,� he said.
Meanwhile, Trump directed his Twitter followers to tune in to Jeanine Pirro�s show on Fox
News shortly before the conservative host launched a broadside against Ryan, calling
on him to resign as Speaker.
Trump�s top aides said the president still has Ryan�s back and had no idea Pirro was
going to rip the Speaker.
For now, calls for Ryan�s ouster don�t appear to be resonating with lawmakers on
Capitol Hill.
Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who successfully forced then-Speaker John
Boehner (R-Ohio) into an early retirement in 2015, insisted there are �no conversations�
about removing Ryan � a sentiment echoed by some of Meadows�s conservative colleagues.
�Paul Ryan did the best he could under the circumstances to bring together a variety
of different viewpoints and backgrounds of 230-some-odd Republican congressmen,� Rep.
Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said last week as the health insurance effort crumbled.
�I think that Paul Ryan did a very good job as Speaker of the House, considering the
difficulty of the issue and the variety of the opinions that are reflected in the Republican
conference,� Brooks added.
The Freedom Caucus, which has about three dozen members, has not taken a formal position
on Trump�s border wall.
But the group has shown a willingness to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood
funding, just as it threatened to do in a game of brinkmanship with Boehner in September
2015.
Rather than go along with the group�s demands, Boehner said he would resign the following
month.
Then he struck a two-year deal with then-President Obama that raised the debt limit and set higher
spending levels � an agreement that was meant to �clean the barn� and make things
easier for his successor, Ryan.
Now it�s Ryan�s turn to reach a funding deal.
With the spectacular failure of the �ObamaCare repeal bill, the Freedom Caucus will almost
certainly insist the funding bill include a provision to defund Planned Parenthood.
But Ryan and GOP leaders, while supportive of that provision, also are keenly aware such
a bill can�t pass the Senate.
Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong declined to comment on specific provisions that could
be included in the funding bill.
But White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday refused to say that Trump would
demand the defunding provision be included in the funding bill, an apparent acknowledgement
of the difficulty of passing it through the upper chamber.
�I don�t want to get ahead of our legislative strategy,� Spicer said.
One senior GOP appropriator said Monday that it�s time for the party to demonstrate it
can handle the basic responsibilities of governing.
�To me, we ought to focus on things we know we can do and we have to do.
We haven�t finished the �17 appropriations bill.
We�re halfway through the �18 fiscal year.
So, I mean, we need to get that done,� Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said during an appearance
on MSNBC�s �Morning Joe.�
�We need to think about things like getting a realistic budget done, doing a debt ceiling
vote, which I think will probably have to be bipartisan.�
Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), said his outside conservative group
has not taken any positions on whether the border wall or Planned Parenthood defunding
should be included in the spending bill.
Instead, he said AFP is urging Congress to return to a regular-order budget process that
will help drive down spending.
�For a decade now, we�ve had a catch-all budget process, which is not healthy for the
country and not healthy for restraining spending,� Phillips said in a phone interview.
�We need to get away from careening from fiscal crisis to fiscal crisis.
I don�t think anyone wants a shutdown,� he added.
�We want to see Congress get back to a regular-order budget.
That offers the best opportunity
to regaining fiscal discipline.�

Redefine Your Limits by Being Honest With Yourself | Kyle Maynard - Duration: 4:36.
What is one big excuse that you could take on right now, today, and do something about?
If you started there what would your life look like in 30 days?
What would it look like a year from today?
What would it look like five years from today?
And if we took on some of our bigger excuses, can you imagine what would happen inside of
even just New York alone, if you had one percent of the population that took on their biggest
excuse, what the creative generative effect of that would bring?
Frankly our brain is hardwired to survival, and because of that our brain with any fear
that we have or any justification that we make as to why we do something or not do something,
I believe a lot of those answers come back to survival.
And there's usually a positive intention behind some of the excuses that we go and make, maybe
even preservation of our own energy or preservation of self.
There's a lot of times where fears are good, rational fears, and there's a good intention
behind them; it's just uncovering that and kind of unpacking it, and seeing what's really
going on there.
I think for starters I think some of the excuses I make come to mind, in terms of common excuses:
I don't have enough time; I'm too busy; I've got too much on my plate; I'm too young;
I don't have enough money or… too much money?
— I don't know if that's really an excuse, but there's a million: "I'm not good enough…"
But I think it's really actually the more creative excuses, the ones that are a little
bit more sneaky and insidious, the ones where we can convince ourselves that they're good
reasons.
So a lot of times if I don't want to compete in something or I feel like I'm not going
to win or whatever, I've got some type of fear of failure, then I'll make a really creative
excuse.
We make thousands of justifications I think probably, a week.
Excuses to me are a mountain, and there's no end to the trail, there's no summit to
it.
We're never going to arrive at a point where we're completely free of our excuses.
But I think the idea is just have a little bit more awareness around some of the bigger
ones.
I think it starts with telling the truth to yourself about something.
Right?
I believe that the extent to which you can tell the truth to yourself about whatever
excuses you're making is the extent to which you can be free from it.
You have to start there.
I love the spirit of the message of, for instance, of saying something like, "Anything is possible,"
but I don't actually believe it.
Anything is maybe possible in the future, but at this moment in time I'm not going to
go and bench press 10,000 pounds; at this moment in time we aren't going to go and colonize
Mars.
So you've got these bigger society wide excuses that we make as human beings.
You've got individual smaller excuses that we make just as people living our day-to-day
lives.
I would say too, for people watching this, the worst thing that could happen is that,
frankly the worst thing (from my perspective at least) is: someone watches this and starts
beating themselves up over the excuses that they go and make.
And if people go and say to me after a speech is done, "Wow you've done some awesome things
with your life, but I suck, and I can't do anything," I go, "Well, you kind of missed
the point…"
I want people to know that I am a master excuse-maker, and I know just now how many excuses I go
and truly make, and I have to go and tell the truth to myself about the excuses that
I'm making now.
It's kind of this idea—and I didn't come up with it—it was Alfred Korzybski in 1931
who said that "The map is not the territory."
And we all walk around with our own mental maps based on our experiences, maps of the
world, and we like to go and think of those maps as reality instead of realizing they're
just freaking maps.
And they're just up here [in the mind], and some maps are better than others.
A good map you can navigate accurately with, a bad map not so much, and we all have our
own maps.
Really I would start with telling the truth to yourself.

MINI-CORNDOG PIZZA DELICIOUSNESS!! | Mealtime with Maddie - Duration: 4:00.
Hello and welcome to Mealtime with Maddie!
Today we're going to be making a huge mistake!
So basically the story is I created a poll on my Twitter and I was like "Should I have
frozen pizza or mini corn dogs or maybe I should learn how to cook?"
My friend Levi, he went ahead and said "All of the above sounds good" so here I am!
Making all of the above.
Indeed, I am going to cook, see I'm learning how to cook, a mini-corndog pizza!
However I'm not a real chef so here is our pizza already made.
It's pepperoni, delicious.
And our mini-corn dogs!
Also already made.
Convenient.
I'm an expert on this frozen pizza so no need to look at the instructions.
I feel like those are famous last words of every Mealtime with Maddie.
Open the baaaaag.
Open the bag!
Why do I always have troubles with this?!
OPEN THE BAGGGG!
Aha.
We open the bag.
Great so here's our frozen pizza.
Ready to go we're going to stick that in the oven for 10 minutes once the oven's warmed
up and then we're going to go ahead and cook these once that gets closer to completion.
That way they're nice and warm and they don't get cold and gross and yucky.
So while all of this is cooking, let's go ahead and hear a word from our sponsors!
Robot Lady voice: Follow at Maddness22 on Twitter.
She is really funny and stuff.
Wait, can I make this robot lady say anything?
Butts butts butts butts butts butts butts Welcome back from our commercial break from
our great sponsors!
It's time to cook the mini-corndogs!
It's a very difficult step.
Okay see what you do is you open the resealable bag.
And then you just go ahead and you dump them.
Throw that there.
Throw that up here.
If you have an express cook option on your microwave, go ahead and just hit 2 and it
sounds like our pizza's done!
But we're not going to take the pizza out until it's a bit cool.
Can you be quiet?
I'm trying to do a cooking show.
Please?
Thank you.
And now great!
While that pizza's cooling off and these mini corn dogs are cooking, let's go ahead and
hear another word from our great sponsors!
Batman x 20 Welcome back to Mealtime with Maddie!
That was another great word from our sponsors!
They have so many great words!
As you can see, we have the mini corn dogs and the pizza all cooked, ready to combine
into an excellent mini-corn dog pizza of my creation!
This is another very difficult task on the mini-corndog pizza.
Basically you're going to take the mini corn dogs, see?
This is a mini corn dog.
And you're going to put it on the pizza!
Just keep doing that until you're satisfied with how many mini corn dogs are on your pizza.
Put that there, great.
Put that here, great.
Great, great.
And now I feel like our dish is finished.
It's a masterpiece, really.
And so now it's time for the best part of Mealtime with Maddie: eating my creation!
Oh boy.
Alrighty!
Here we go.
Gotta get my napkin in place.
Can't cover the microphone.
Bonna my teet.
Alright this one is for you, Levi!
Here we go!
Corn dog and pizza.
I missed the corn dog!
MMMM!
I'm sorry.
This is the best dish I've ever created.
Mmm let's get another one of those corn dogs in there to fill that hole.
There we go!
MMM!
I think I've created a masterpiece.
This is actually legitimately super good.
Thank you, Levi!
Oh my god.
The sweetness of the cornbread with the meat of the hot dog and then the sweetness of the
tomato sauce.
It's so good!
So thank you for joining me on this episode of Mealtime with Maddie!
If you have an idea for a food or if you want to catch me on my next Twitter poll about
food, go ahead and follow my Twitter @Maddness22.
@ me with some short food dish or recipes or something you want me to try.
Or leave it in the comments below!
Either way, just this is great!
All I'm saying is that if Levi wasn't following me on Twitter, I would've never discovered this beautiful,
beautiful dish.
This is, oh my god, this is so good!
Argh!
I've never been more excited about a Mealtime with Maddie.
Like I understand this can make me fat, but I also don't care 'cause it's that good.
*end theme* Thank you for watching my video!

The number e explained in depth for (smart) dummies - Duration: 18:38.Welcome to another Mathologer video.
A while ago I did this video in which i
wanted to explain the mysterious
identity e to the i pi is equal to
minus 1 to Homer Simpson who encountered
it in one of the Treehouse of Horror
episodes. So my mission was to explain
why this identity is true to someone who
knows only basic arithmetic: plus, minus, times, divided
Today I'd like to do the same
for the other fundamental facts about
the number e. These fundamental facts
I'm thinking of include this truly
amazing identity here that expresses the
exponential function as an infinite sum.
I'll first show Homer and you how you can
derive this identity from scratch just
using basic arithmetic. Then we can set x
equal to 1 and use the resulting sum to
calculate an arbitrary number of digits
of e. Now here the main point is to
figure out when you can stop adding the
terms of this infinite sum and be
absolutely sure that you've calculated
the first, say 1 million digits of e or
however many digits you are after.
Then i'll show you that e is an
irrational number, why e cannot be
written as a fraction. And for the finale
I have to catch Homer on one of those
days that he's super smart, that he knows
a little bit of calculus for example. The
finale is about showing why the
exponential function is its own
derivative, some super famous facts about
the natural logarithm, the inverse of the
exponential function and a couple of
other super cool insights to round
things off. Now the main point of
the video is to show you WHY all these
things are true and not just talk about
them like it's usually done on YouTube
and to show this to you in as elementary
and accessible way as possible.
As usual please let me know in the comments
how I did in this respect. In the e to
the I pi video I first showed Homer that
if he invests one dollar at an interest
rate of one hundred percent and
compounds the interest N times during
one year he'll have that many dollars at
the end of the year. For example, if you
compound twice you end up with two
dollars and twenty-five cents. Now the
more often you compound the interest,
that is, the larger the N, the more money
you'll have by the end of the year. But
this amount does not grow forever.
There's a limiting value and this
limiting value is the number e which is
approximately 2.718. Then I show Homer
that this actually extends in a
straightforward way to the exponential
function. So plug in any value for x like
for example 5, crank up the N and in the
limit you get exactly e to the power
of 5. Then we just go for it and plug in
i pi for x and see what happens when we
crank up N. Translating all this into
geometry leads to this neat complex
number pokeball there. It looks like a
pokeball right? The green point shows what
complex number we are dealing with for N=6
Then cranking up N you
can see the green point tending towards
-1 and so e to the i pi is equal to
minus 1. Super neat, check it out. For
today I'll return to this point of the
argument here and branch off. Now
let's try something super natural. I think
anybody would try this. Let's expand the
right side for a couple of small N and
see whether we can see some sort of
pattern. So N equals 1, nothing to
expand here. N equal to 2, I'm sure
everybody watching can do this. N equal
to 3 and equal to 4, and so on. A couple
of patterns are emerging, right? In terms
of green and blue bits it's clear how
this continues. What about those other
numbers? Well, there's also a pattern and
I'm sure many of you will be familiar
with it from school. These are binomial
coefficients and can be written like
this. We've got our pattern right there.
But before we carry on just a reminder
that there is a special way to write and refer to the
denominators 1, 1 x 2, 1 x 2 x 3, and so on.
For example, 1 x 2 x 3 is written three exclamation mark
and it's called 3 factorial. And there we
have 1 and 2 factorial. Now that we've
established a pattern let's crank up the
N and replace 4 by something big, say
1000. All right, so here we go. Now what I
want to do is swap things like that. And
what I mean by this is I want to swap 1!
by 1000, 2! by a
thousand squared and 3! by a
thousand cubed. And so on so let's just
do it. Now let's have a look at the
fractions. Okay this guy here is equal to
1. That one is equal to 1 too. What about
that one here? Well it's close to 1 and
as we replace 1000 by larger and larger
values this fraction will tend to 1. All the
other fractions that you see here also
go to 1 and so all the numbers here will
go to 1. And so in the limit we get
this identity here. And if you are a
mathematician you can dot all the i's and
cross all the t's to prove that this
amazing identity is really always true
No matter what you plug in here for X. If
you know more maths you may have seen
this identity before but derived in a
very different way and in a more general
context. In that general context it's
called the Maclaurin series of the
exponential function and there it is
derived using calculus. Setting X
equal to 1 we get this identity here and
it allows us to approximate e by adding
more and more of those simple terms. Now,
as promised, and i hope Hormer is still with
us, there's only basic arithmetic and
some glossing over details involved.
Before we calculated e by cranking up
the N in this expression here. In
terms of using this expression to
actually calculate a good approximation
for e the problem is that every time we
up the N we have to start afresh and
discard everything that we've
done so far. More importantly, although we
know that we get e in the limit, to start
with we have no idea how large an N we
have to choose to be able to guarantee
that we found correct to the desired
number of digits. On the other hand, the
infinite sum is much much more
user-friendly in this respect. As we add
more and more of those simple terms our
approximation gets better and better and
it's also very easy to estimate how well
an approximation a chopped-off partial
sum is. So here if top of the infinite
sum at the 8th term. How close does this
get us to e? Well, the error or the
difference between e and this
approximation is just the sum of the
remaining terms. Let's estimate how large
this error is. the 8! at the
bottom is just 1 x 2 x and so on to 7
which is 7! times 8.
9! is 7! times 8 times 9,
and so on. Let's pull out the 1/7!
Now the bracket is still very
complicated so let's do something
drastic, let's replace the 8, 9, 10, etc.
in the denominators by 2s. This
gives the new simpler expression. Is this
new simpler expression greater or
smaller than the error? Well we're going
down in all the yellow denominators, so
that means that the new expression has
to be greater, right? But now it's really
easy to see that in the brackets we have
1/2 plus 1/4 plus 1/8, and so
on which you all know is equal to 1.
And so to summarize, the error we
make by chopping the sum off at the
1/N! th term is equal to 1/N!
which is very good because
1/n! gets very small
very quickly. So let's just put down all
the numbers in sight here. If we focus on
the zeros in the estimate for the error
it seems clear that our approximation
will be correct in the first
four digits, right, and it is. So this
means that if we wanted to have some fun
calculating the first 1 million digits
of e from scratch, to pinpoint how many
terms of the infinite sum we'd have to
add we simply have to figure out which
number we have to substitute 7 by to get
a million zeros at the beginning of the
estimate at the bottom. Can someone
discuss in the comments why, just going
with what I've shown you so far, one
might want to aim for a million and one
zeros instead of just a million.
Anyway, in this way you can figure out
that you have to add a little more than
the first 205,000 terms of the infinite sum
to be able to guarantee a million
digits of e, very neat, right? And maybe
surprisingly the sort of thinking that
went into all this is also very
applicable. In fact, you use infinite sums
and estimations like this all the time
to come up with approximations of
complicated numbers that are accurate
enough for practical purposes.
It also turns out, and this really is
very surprising I think, that this
estimate for the error also gives a
straightforward way to prove that e is an
irrational number, that no fraction is
equal to e. Are you ready for some real
magic? Okay, so let's summarize what we've
done so far like this. On the left side
we have the difference between the true
value and the approximation, that's the
error, right? And we've seen that this
error is less than 1/7!
Now let's warm up by using this
inequality to show that one particular
fraction, 19/7 is not equal to e. Why 19/7 ?
Well, it does not really matter what
fraction we start with. The only reason
for us using 19/7 is that it has a 7
in the denominator which will mesh in
nicely with the other 7s that are
already floating around here. Can e be
equal to 19/7 ? Well, let's assume it is.
Then we've got this inequality up there.
19/7 minus the junk in the brackets is
less than 1/7!
Okay, now all the denominators on the
left divide 7! , right? Just
think about it for a moment. Yes they
divide 7! which means that we can
combine the left side into a fraction
with denominator 7! where
the ? stands for 1 or 2 or 3 or some
other positive integer. So IF 19/7
was really equal to e, THEN we just
showed this fraction, the error would
be 1/7! or larger. But, and
this is really the punchline, we already
know that the error is definitely
smaller than 1/7! . So our
assumption that 19/7 is equal to e
implies a statement that is obviously false.
So this means that our assumption, that
19/7 is equal to e must have been
false to start with. Tada! Okay you
probably didn't see that coming, right? To
show that e is not equal to any fraction
a/b we simply have to adjust our
argument like this: first replace 19/7
by a/b. Then, instead of summing up
to 1/7! we sum up to
1/b! . The estimate then also
changes to 1/b! and this
statement down here is still impossible
which implies that no fraction can be
equal to e or, in other words, that e is
irrational. Now you may have to watch
this part of the video again to really
get what is going on here. What makes
this proof work is the fact that the
close approximation to here on the left
is super close in the sense that it can
be written as a fraction that differs
from e in less than 1 over its
denominator. Similar super close
approximations to pi and other
irrational numbers also play a crucial
role in proving the irrationality and
transcendence of these numbers. Actually
a video on transcendental numbers is
next on my to-do list, so stay tuned.
The Simpsons singing nonsensical stuff...
(announcer) Tonight's Simpsons episode was
brought to you by the symbol Umlaut
and the number e, not the letter e but
the number whose exponential function is
the derivative of itself. (Mathologer) Hmm, the
exponential function is the derivative
of itself. Before I deal with this
congratulation to Homer and you for
making it this far. For this last part of
the video I'll assume that you do know a
little bit of calculus. In particular
I'll assume that you know what the
derivative of a function is. If you need
an introduction or a refresher check out
this video up there and then return here
or just sit back and admire the
mathematical magic doing its thing. Okay
we want to convince ourselves that the
exponential function is the derivative
of itself. Because of this identity the
derivative of the exponential function
is just the derivative of 1 plus the
derivative of this term plus the
derivative of that term, and so on so.
What's the derivative of x cubed divided
by 3! for example? Let's see: 3!
is 1 times 2 that's 2!
times 3. The derivative of x
cubed is 3 x squared. The 3s cancel
and of course what remains is equal to
this term here. So the derivative of x
cubed divided by 3! is simply
the previous term and you can check that
the derivative of that previous term is
the term before that. And the derivative
of that term is 1 and the derivative of
1 is 0, and so on. And so you can see that
the derivative of all the junk on the
right side is again the right side which
means the exponential function is its
own derivative. Fantastic, right? So, if you
made it up to here there is no reason to
stop. Let's use this insight for something
fun. The natural logarithm
log X is the inverse of the exponential
function. This means that e to the log X
is equal to X. Let's find the derivative
on both sides. The derivative of X is 1
and the derivative on the other side,
well we need that exponential function
its own derivative and the chain rule
for that but then we get this.
Now we have a close look and you see two
bits that are the same which means we
can also write X down here. Now divide
and we've got one of those super famous
facts from calculus, that the derivative of
log X is 1/X. Wonderful! And now I'm
just going to go for it. So integrate and
we get this guy here. We substitute e for
X and that gives this guy here. Now on
the right side we've got log e and
obviously that's equal to 1 since our
logarithm is base e. Almost there !
The standard geometric interpretation of
this definite integral here is that the
area under the graph of 1/X between
1 and e is exactly equal to 1. Now many
people are under the impression that, unlike
pi the number e does not have a nice geometric
interpretation. Well here we've got one,
right, in terms of the hyperbola which is
both the graph of 1/X and a basic
geometric shape closely related to pi's
circle. This is the way to remember it:
open up this yellow curtain here under
the hyperbola until it's area is exactly
one and you've found e. All right, now to
wrap things up I'll quickly sketch how
you can also use our infinite sum
identity to derive e to the i pi is
equal -1 and that's the
standard way this is done in calculus. There are also
ways to write the sine and cosine
functions as infinite sums like this.
After substituting i X for X in the top
identity and multiplying the sine
identity in the middle by i we've got
exactly the same stuff in the purple
and the blue boxes. Now since we're
dealing with identities, the same has to
be true on the left. So the contents of
the purple box is equal to the sum of
what's in the blue box, and this is
Euler's formula, super famous, right? Now
I go over all this slowly in this other
Simpson based video up there. So if you,
you know, want it a bit slower, check it
out. After plugging in pi for X the
right side becomes -1 which then
brings us full circle back to Euler's
identity. If you've made it this far
you've really earned yourself the
Mathologer's extra huge seal of approval.
So, as usual, I'm very interested in
finding out how well all these
explanations work for you. So please let
me know in the comments. And that's all
for today.

What Penumbra Does Better Than Amnesia - Duration: 7:51.
I wrote a 10 page essay on making a Penumbra Series review for it's 10th anniversary,
but I somehow lost it, SOMEHOW!.. like a dimwit.
Sense I don't feel like trying to rewrite all what I said in my lost review by memory -
I've decided to make a discussion video,
or more like an argument video on what I think Penumbra did right that Amnesia didn't do right.
Now this is based purely on opinion so please be open-minded about what I have to say in this video. ;)
The Penumbra Series was Frictional Games' first published survival horror title -
and it's much like Amnesia - The Dark Descent.
You can pick up and throw objects around, drag your mouse to open doors, etc.
You play as any ordinary man, much like The Dark Descent.
It's 2001, you're "Philip LaFresque", a thirty-year-old physicist teacher.
Good one Frictional Games. xD
After attending your mom's funeral, you receive a later from your father who was declared dead before you were even born.
The letter contains a key that opens a bank in Mayfair that contains documents.
What you find is information leading to coordinates in Northern Greenland.
Your father wants you to burn the documents and be done with it.
Now as it's not really a common thing to get letters from your dead loved ones..
..and not knowing much about his father in the first place and probably having a lot of curiosity about his father in his upbringing -
*Catches breath* xD
Philip couldn't resist to investigate further into them.
Eventually, he found himself in uninhabitable Northern Greenland outside a small hatch that leads underground.
That's where the game takes off.
Moving on..
First off, the interaction with your environment altogether is better than in Amnesia (in my opinion).
You have items like the pickaxe, to break down weak structures.
And you don't just have one light source to hold like in Amnesia.
In Penumbra-
you have the glow stick,
similar to the lantern.
It's very dim and lights up around you.
Then, you have the flashlight -
which lights up a far distance in front of you.
Then you have the flare -
which you can only light once until it goes out.
You can even throw it in case you want to see what's far in front of you.
I feel like having all these light sources with different value and purpose gives much more depth to the game,
whereas in Amnesia you just have the lantern and tinderbox. :\
The immersion really kicked in for me when I played Penumbra in 2011 and realized all the available light sources compared to the minimal light sources in Amnesia.
And if you're wondering if Penumbra had something similar to the "tinderbox" in Amnesia.
In Penumbra, you have the "lighter".
You can use this lighter to light lamps around you.
Also, I think the inventory management system in the Penumbra series is actually a lot better -
in that which you can place items in number slots so you can press a number to pull up an item-
without even opening your inventory which once again, increases immersion.
Another thing I love about Penumbra is the player's ability to examine almost EVERYTHING.
Just about every item you examine something, the game comes up with a long sentence describing it -
which somehow makes me feel more immersed!
Being able to examine an item in Amnesia is a lot more rare and when you do examine something -
it usually has to do something directly with the story.
And if the examination doesn't have anything to do with the story, it'll just play a noise.
Which I guess is better than nothing. :\
And perhaps Frictional Games' goal was to only examine things that have to do with your current quest, (To avoid confusion)
but in Penumbra I never found myself getting too lost because of all the things that I could examine.¯\_(ツ)_/¯
When I examined something that had to do with my current quest in Penumbra -
it was quite clear that it was part of a quest.
Then again, this was MY experience with the Penumbra series -
and the ability to examine so many objects may have confused you,
but it didn't for me.
Let's talk about Penumbra Overture's enemies.
Now I know a lot hate how you can fight the enemies in Overture and that the combat isn't the best, which is very true,
but the way the monster act in Overture is so much better than in Amnesia!
You can collect beef jerky throughout the game and lure dogs out of your path and they will eat the food for a few seconds which gives you some time to sneak away.
You can even lure a dog in a caged area with deadly steam pipes, wait for it to walk in for the beef you threw in the caged area, close the gate behind it and turn on the pipes to kill it
Brilliant gameplay.
And although you may be able to outsmart the dogs here and there,
be careful,
if the canine feels it is too much in danger -
it will howl and call it's other friends to come tear you to shreds.
If that doesn't sound bad enough,
I've witnessed a dog propel itself from sandbags to reach me standing on a crate where I thought I was safe.
If you're at an unreachable height -
the dogs will pace back and forth like it's frustrated.
Whether this was intentional by the developers is unknown.
Better than spinning in circles... -.-
It seems like Amnesia's enemy AI is greatly dumbed down; in fact, the monsters are absolutely retarded.
They run in circles and into walls even when I set path-nodes for them.
That isn't very intimidating.
Another about the monsters in the Penumbra series is the variety.
There's very different and unique monsters in the series that act in very different ways.
Yes, you have a large variety of monsters in the Amnesia collection but they all act very similar.
In Penumbra, you have the dogs, which usually come in packs.
You have the infected, that act similar to Amnesia's monsters.
You have the spiders which are almost always found in eggs until they explode and out comes the spiders crawling towards you.
You have the worm which chases you on several occasions and can kill you in one hit.
Even though Amnesia has a large variety of monsters they all feel the same.
Speaking of variety, I like how each level and even chapter feels so much different in the Penumbra Series.
Penumbra Overture is an abandoned mine,
while Penumbra: Black Plague almost feels completely different.
It feels more sci-fi in that which it takes place in an research underground facility.
In each game, one level you're wandering in an abandoned mine, the next you're on top of a frozen lake.
The complete change of atmosphere shifts quite a lot in the Penumbra series.
I don't think Amnesia is an overall worse game, it's actually much much better and way more polished than Penumbra in so many ways.
but there are those few things Amnesia either took completely away, or dumbed down that I really liked about the Penumbra series and that's a shame.
I'm sure there are those that have different opinions about what I stated in this video and that's totally fine,
this is what I feel Penumbra did better.
Now I'm sure I missed some facts that I could have collected from the back of my mind that I'll remember only after uploading this video so I'll hate myself for forgetting those,
but I hope you were insightful and tolerant of what I had to say in this video.
However, one rule of thumb I have started to form for this channel in my mind is that "If unsure, create a part two video for it", and that's the case for all my videos.

Wounded Ryan faces new battle - Duration: 8:00.Wounded Ryan faces new battle.
BY SCOTT WONG.
A wounded Paul Ryan is facing another potential crisis over the next month.
The Speaker, who saw his years-long effort to repeal �ObamaCare collapse last week
after a rebellion on the right, must come up with a plan to fund the federal government
and avert a shutdown.
The Wisconsin Republican will face many of the same tricky intraparty dynamics as he
tries to keep the government running.
Funding expires in about a month, on April 28, but the House is taking a two-week recess
in mid-April, leaving negotiators just a few legislative work weeks to reach a deal.
The stakes are extremely high for the GOP.
A government shutdown, similar to the one orchestrated by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and
his House allies in 2013, would confirm what many Democrats and political pundits are already
saying: Republicans, despite controlling the White House and both chambers of Congress,
simply can�t govern.
Two of the biggest hurdles to keeping the government�s lights on are conservatives�
insistence that the spending package include billions for President Trump�s border wall
and that it block all federal dollars for Planned Parenthood.
Trump has requested $1.5 billion in supplemental funding for what he�s called his �big,
beautiful wall,� plus another $2.6 billion in his 2018 budget request.
But Senate Democrats have threatened to filibuster the must-pass spending bill if it includes
money for a wall, sparking a shutdown standoff over one of the president�s chief campaign
promises.
On top of that, some Republicans from border states � including Senate Majority Whip
John Cornyn (Texas), Armed Services Chairman John McCain (Ariz.) and Sen. Jeff Flake (Ariz.)
� are highly skeptical of Trump�s wall, citing concerns about the price tag and private-property
rights.
A trio of House Republicans who represent border districts � Reps. Martha McSally
(Ariz.), Steve Pearce (N.M.) and Will Hurd (Texas) � also have been wary of Trump�s
wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
The Speaker earlier this year called constructing the wall �urgent� and a national security
necessity.
But recognizing the high 60-vote threshold in the Senate, Ryan will be under enormous
pressure to send over a House bill with zero or limited wall funding.
�The border wall should be talked about, shouldn�t be rammed down people�s throats,�
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) said Sunday on ABC�s �This Week.�
�It�s got a big problem that Republicans in border states are opposing � Texas, Arizona
� because there�s eminent domain, so you have to take private land.
� My prediction: It wouldn�t get the votes on either the Democratic or Republican side.�
The archconservative House Freedom Caucus scuttled the �ObamaCare repeal legislation
on Friday after Trump and Ryan refused to cave to the group�s demands.
The defeat of the bill prompted an aggressive round of GOP finger-pointing.
Trump tweeted that the Freedom Caucus, along with conservative allies Club for Growth and
Heritage Action, �saved Planned Parenthood and Ocare� since defunding the women�s
health services provider had been included in the bill.
Rep. Ted Poe (R-Texas) resigned from the Freedom Caucus.
�Saying no is easy.
Leading is hard,� he said.
Meanwhile, Trump directed his Twitter followers to tune in to Jeanine Pirro�s show on Fox
News shortly before the conservative host launched a broadside against Ryan, calling
on him to resign as Speaker.
Trump�s top aides said the president still has Ryan�s back and had no idea Pirro was
going to rip the Speaker.
For now, calls for Ryan�s ouster don�t appear to be resonating with lawmakers on
Capitol Hill.
Freedom Caucus Chairman Mark Meadows (R-N.C.), who successfully forced then-Speaker John
Boehner (R-Ohio) into an early retirement in 2015, insisted there are �no conversations�
about removing Ryan � a sentiment echoed by some of Meadows�s conservative colleagues.
�Paul Ryan did the best he could under the circumstances to bring together a variety
of different viewpoints and backgrounds of 230-some-odd Republican congressmen,� Rep.
Mo Brooks (R-Ala.) said last week as the health insurance effort crumbled.
�I think that Paul Ryan did a very good job as Speaker of the House, considering the
difficulty of the issue and the variety of the opinions that are reflected in the Republican
conference,� Brooks added.
The Freedom Caucus, which has about three dozen members, has not taken a formal position
on Trump�s border wall.
But the group has shown a willingness to shut down the government over Planned Parenthood
funding, just as it threatened to do in a game of brinkmanship with Boehner in September
2015.
Rather than go along with the group�s demands, Boehner said he would resign the following
month.
Then he struck a two-year deal with then-President Obama that raised the debt limit and set higher
spending levels � an agreement that was meant to �clean the barn� and make things
easier for his successor, Ryan.
Now it�s Ryan�s turn to reach a funding deal.
With the spectacular failure of the �ObamaCare repeal bill, the Freedom Caucus will almost
certainly insist the funding bill include a provision to defund Planned Parenthood.
But Ryan and GOP leaders, while supportive of that provision, also are keenly aware such
a bill can�t pass the Senate.
Ryan spokeswoman AshLee Strong declined to comment on specific provisions that could
be included in the funding bill.
But White House press secretary Sean Spicer on Monday refused to say that Trump would
demand the defunding provision be included in the funding bill, an apparent acknowledgement
of the difficulty of passing it through the upper chamber.
�I don�t want to get ahead of our legislative strategy,� Spicer said.
One senior GOP appropriator said Monday that it�s time for the party to demonstrate it
can handle the basic responsibilities of governing.
�To me, we ought to focus on things we know we can do and we have to do.
We haven�t finished the �17 appropriations bill.
We�re halfway through the �18 fiscal year.
So, I mean, we need to get that done,� Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) said during an appearance
on MSNBC�s �Morning Joe.�
�We need to think about things like getting a realistic budget done, doing a debt ceiling
vote, which I think will probably have to be bipartisan.�
Tim Phillips, president of Americans for Prosperity (AFP), said his outside conservative group
has not taken any positions on whether the border wall or Planned Parenthood defunding
should be included in the spending bill.
Instead, he said AFP is urging Congress to return to a regular-order budget process that
will help drive down spending.
�For a decade now, we�ve had a catch-all budget process, which is not healthy for the
country and not healthy for restraining spending,� Phillips said in a phone interview.
�We need to get away from careening from fiscal crisis to fiscal crisis.
I don�t think anyone wants a shutdown,� he added.
�We want to see Congress get back to a regular-order budget.
That offers the best opportunity
to regaining fiscal discipline.�

I knew there'd be some late nights with my new promotion.
Looks like I'm not the only one.
We both just need a quiet place to get some work done.
Around here, I guess that means sharing the kitchen table with Belle and her utopian architecture.
Everything will get tighter when Jeff Jr. arrives.
There's so much more to think about.
Where will they go to school?
How safe the area is.
Will my drive to work get much longer?
This place felt enormous when we bought it.
Now, not so much.
Rates have changed since we last bought.
I wonder if we can afford a bigger place now.
Hopefully, bigger doesn't mean too much more money.

Top 5 Facts about Cannabis Strain Bubba Kush on The Johno Show Indica Weed Reviews - Duration: 13:05.
Hey Stoners Welcome to The Johno Show I'm your host Jonathan.
It's Thursday March 30th 2017 and that means it's strain review day.
Today we present the top 5 facts about the Cannabis strain known as Bubba Kush.
Yeah!
Fact Number 5: History & Lineage Allegedly, this strain was created accidentally
in 1996 when an OG Kush hybrid pollinated with an unknown indica strain from New Orleans.
The name Bubba was adopted from the breeder's name.
Based on the genetic history of the strain many believe it originates from the Hindu
Kush mountains.
Bubba Kush is so popular in the United States due to its potency and solid indica genetics
there have been a slew of crossbred child strains including: Blackberry Kush, Bubba's
Gift, and Madness.
Fact Number 4: Positive vs Negative Effects The primary medical use of Bubba Kush is for
relaxation.
Many patients prefer this strain due to its ability to alleviate insomnia, depression,
stress, and ADD or ADHD.
Users tend to experience heavy, slow-breathing relaxation and a palpable sense of physical
comfort.
Couchlock isn't common.
Most users are functional and alert and can maintain mental focus and converse or perform
tasks as needed.
Bubba Kush can provide some relief from anxiety and depression in addition to soothing chronic,
deep-seated aches and pains.
In large enough doses, it can serve as treatment for insomnia as well.
Many users describe increased appetite as a common side effect.
The only negatives are the usual Dry Mouth and Dry Eyes.
There is a very small chance users of Bubba Kush will experience Dizziness, Paranoia,
and Headaches.
Fact Number 3: Sativa vs Indica & THC/CBD Levels
Bubba Kush is 100% indica and typically has a high THC content, ranging from between 15
to 22%.
The THCA has been known to be around 17.5% with the CBD at .1%.
Fact Number 2: Appearance, Smell & Taste
The flowers of Bubba Kush have a vague aroma of coffee or cocoa, with some slight fruitiness
beneath.
The aroma often borders on an acrid ammonia smell, but always emits deep, earthy tones.
The taste is mostly dank, with some sweetness and a peppery kick in the exhale.
When burnt, Bubba Kush smells more hashy and spicy.
The leaves are dark green and can sometimes show shades of purple.
Bubba Kush has vivid green and purple buds that are coated in amber hairs.
The abundance of trichomes makes this strain sticky.
Fact Number 1: Let's Smoke It!
Well the fact is all these facts are meaningless unless we light up and experience it for ourselves.
So let's smoke it!!

日本にあってハワイにないもの６つ//6 Things Japan Has that Hawaii Doesn't - Duration: 5:14.
hey guys it's Saki
so today I will be talking about
things Japan has that Hawaii doesn't
there are 6 things I will be sharing
alright let's get started
no.1
I always want this so badly
there's no dollar stores in Hawaii
I know there's some in mainland such as California
like DAISO
but we don't have it in Hawaii
no.2
there's absolutely no snakes in Hawaii
however recently like a few years ago?
someone brought a snake into Hawaii
illegally as a pet
and it was found and became news
but besides that basically there's no snakes
instead we have many geckos
no.3
now there are small numbers of vending machines
but compared to Japan there's almost nothing
when you walk around in Japan you will see
vending machines in every block you go
but that is not a case in Hawaii
vending machines here sell small chips and
chocolates like m&m and snickers
for drinks
they only have basic drinks like
water, coke, and fanta
but they don't have teas like Japan does
or hot drinks like
hot coco, corn soup
non of these exits here
there was this couple from Japan I met while I was working
and they came to me to ask a question
"is there a vending machine near here?"
and I said "no"
and they said "what!?"
they continued "where's the closest one then?"
I said "well theres' no such things near here"
they were like"no wayyyyy!?"
and that reminded me of how many vending machines we have in Japan
no.4
trust me there's no thinly sliced meat here
when you wanna make Gyudon (beef bowl with rice)
you can easily find thin meats in Japan right?
or thin pork slices for shabushabu (hotpot)
any kind of thin meats do NOT exist here
everything is like
DOOOOOOOM
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMM
very big chunks
no.5
in Japan especially in a big cities like Shibuya
you will see people handing out some free tissues
even though I don't necessarily need them
it can be very convenient if I have them
but here there's no such cultures
sometimes I miss having some free tissues
but of course you can buy those small tissues
same pocket size
but there's no giving them out for free in Hawaii
no.6
in Hawaii starting recently
when was it? a year? two years ago?
they just established
the law? or the rules?
and when you go to grocery stores they will give you paper bags
if they are nice
but some stores do not have any kind of bags at all
either you need to bring them home with your arms
or you need to bring your shopping bags with you
so here's my 6 things
there are too many things Japan has that Hawaii doesn't
so I'm probably gonna make part 2 and 3
please hit the like button if you liked this video
I will see you in the next video
mahalo for watching and see you guys soon bye!

Why Women Lose Interest (And How to Prevent That From Happening!) - Duration: 5:22.
Hey Guys!
I'm Kate Spring, Dating and relationship coach from Victoria, BC.
I've been asked this question a lot lately about why women lose interest in men.
I've thought long and hard over this and talked to my girlfriends and also tried to remember
why I, personally, have lost interest in men in the past.
And I think I've come up with a few reasons as to why women start to lose interest in
the initial stages of a budding romance.
Now, if you're still curious about more do's and don'ts in the initial stages of your relationship
at the end of this video, please ask questions in the comments section below.
Or leave me comments about more things you would like to hear from me, and I'll be
sure to get back to you as soon as I can!
Ok, so, I think one reason why a woman loses interest in a man is if her rose-colored glasses
fall off.
And she realizes that she doesn't appreciate some of his manners.
One of those reasons can be rudeness.
Rude to customer service people, to her, to anyone, really.
If this is the case, and your rudeness is an unsuccessful attempt to be funny, I might
suggest you work on a type of humor that doesn't bring people down in order to get a laugh.
I know there is that old saying that nice guys finish last, but don't be mistaken as
to how far being kind to your love interest will go.
Having an ability to make light of situations and not get attached to your expectations
will work wonders for you, I promise.
You might be wondering what I mean by this.
Here's an example: say you and your girl are on a date.
And say you go to a restaurant that doesn't have any record of your reservation.
Instead of causing a fuss and being rude to the hostess or manager, use your well-polished
problem solving skills and ask to sit at the bar.
Or you could say to her, "Hey!
Let's try this other great little spot down the street" or better yet, say, "Hey, let's
go to the grocery store and I'll cook for you."
Either of these options is better than being rude to someone.
And remember that circumstance does not create your character; it simply allows it to be
revealed.

Ok, another thing that causes women to lose interest is when you're indecisive.
Having an opinion is sexy.
Period.
And asserting yourself respectfully is a real panty dropper.
So if you are indecisive about things like where to eat dinner, what movie to watch,
where to go, what you want to do, this creates an indecision that wastes both time and energy.
The result is that more time is spent in indecision than in having fun.
Having an opinion, and making a decision, is better than not having one.
One thing that directly correlates to being indecisive is becoming complacent in your
budding relationship too early on, or complacent at all.
We all become comfortable at some point in a relationship and settle into a routine,
which is not always a bad thing.
It's just that women like to be wanted, as do men!
And that has to do with nice messages, being physically affectionate, still trying to the
impress the other person.
Say you have finally asked your crush to be your girlfriend, and she said yes!
Just because we have this mutual agreement doesn't mean we can take the other for granted.
On the contrary, now is when the fun and hard work starts to pay off.
My sister recently reminded me of another, early relationship killer, and she calls it
smothering.
Smothering comes in many forms.
It may be excessive texting, and/or calling, and hanging out to the point where you don't
have the chance to miss the other person.
All of these fit the description.
Part of relationship excitement involves the chase and building tension.
There is a real benefit in gradually getting to know one another.
I think women lose interest when they feel smothered.
Being eager is not a bad thing, but a little mystery at the beginning stages keeps things
light and fun.
So when you are really into a girl, yay!
But try to find a balance between showing your interest and letting things happen naturally
-- and not all at once.

Ok, another reason why women lose interest is when someone is all talk.
When your intentions don't match your actions.
I was taught very early on never to get into a relationship for its potential.
This is another way of saying, what you see or hear is what you get.
Being all talk and no action is not the best way to start a meaningful relationship.
Talk is cheap; the supply always exceeds the demand.
Put your words into action because words create expectations.
And when women are presented with unmet expectations, we find ourselves let down and often times
are no longer interested in the man with no follow through.
And lastly, one of the inevitable reasons why women lose interest in a man is because
she just realizes that maybe you aren't meant to be together, and that's okay.
Often we are first physically attracted to someone, and lust is a powerful force that
can make us do some pretty crazy things.
But when that begins to fade, we may be left questioning if we have similar interests,
the same goals, aspirations and values.
At this point, we may also start to realize that our intimate encounters would be better
left as a fling.
This is one of those things that happens and why resilience is key in relationships and
a must in your personal arsenal of coping mechanisms.
