Five goals for Republicans this summer
BY CRISTINA MARCOS
Republicans are running out of time to make major legislative achievements before they
break for their August recess � and President Trump�s 200th day in office later that month.
Congress will be in session for just 31 legislative days between now and the end of July, when
the five-week recess begins.
Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) have both put
more of an emphasis on the 200-day mark than Trump�s first 100 days.
The two want to show that Republican control of Washington is a status quo the voters should
support as they make their case for next year�s midterms.
There�s still time for Republicans to make some gains.
Here are five areas where the GOP will look for progress this summer
Adopting a budget
Republicans frequently blasted Democrats when they controlled Congress for going years without
adopting a budget.
Then they were unable to adopt a budget last year due to internal divisions about cutting
spending, though the inaction didn�t hurt the GOP legislative agenda.
This time, failing to adopt a budget would imperil GOP hopes for passing tax reform through
special budget rules that would prevent a Democratic filibuster.
Without a budget, in other words, the GOP may have to forget about a broad tax overhaul,
a longtime dream of Ryan�s.
Figuring out a budget for next year will also have consequences for keeping the government
funded after September.
Some Republicans want a bipartisan budget deal similar to those hammered out over the
past four years, that would establish top-line spending levels for appropriations bills and
raise the debt limit at the same time.
�We need that kind of agreement to provide budgetary stability,� said Rep. Charlie
Dent (R-Pa.), a senior member of the House Appropriations Committee.
Raising the debt limit
Top Trump administration officials told Congress this week that lawmakers may have to approve
a debt ceiling increase sooner than expected.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin urged lawmakers to pass a �clean� debt ceiling hike with
no strings attached before leaving for the summer break.
�I think it�s absolutely important that this is passed before the August recess and
the sooner the better,� Mnuchin said before the House Ways and Means Committee.
Conservative groups want to tie spending restrictions to a debt bill.
The conservative House Freedom Caucus announced this week that they would demand any debt
hike be paired with spending cuts.
Striking a bipartisan deal to avoid a bruising debt limit fight would let GOP leaders demonstrate
they can govern responsibly, as they did with the four-month spending package earlier this
month.
But a wide-ranging budget and debt limit deal would be a disappointment for conservatives
hoping to get policy wins under unified GOP control of government.
�My concerns with the past years is that in a bipartisan fashion we�ve been kicking
the road and adding to the debt substantially.
That�s my concern with the past years.
Going forward, when you win the House and the Senate and the White House, and you�re
the small-government party, that�s my concern,� said Rep. Dave Brat (R-Va.), a Freedom Caucus
member.
Avoid a government shutdown
Congress is far behind where it normally is at this stage of the year in the annual appropriations
process.
The House will enter June without having approved a single appropriations bill, and appropriators
concede that there�s no time to pass each individual spending bill given other priorities.
�We can get the bills ready to get all 12 bills out of committee.
The real question is, do you have the time to do them on the floor?
Probably not.
So you're going to have 'minibuses' or an omnibus,� Rep. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) told reporters.
At a minimum, Republicans need to show that at a minimum they can keep the lights on while
controlling Congress and the White House.
Government funding won�t run out until the end of September, but the GOP will want to
start putting together a plan this summer.
In frustration over accepting this month�s spending compromise, President Trump called
for a �good shutdown� in September to fix the �mess� in Washington.
But most Republicans in Congress want to avoid such a situation, believing they and Trump
would get the blame for a shutdown.
Tax reform
Republicans can�t move a 2018 budget, which they need for tax reform, until they finish
work on a fiscal 2017 budget needed to repeal ObamaCare.
That means a tax reform vote in either chamber is still a long way off.
But Republicans are eager to get moving.
The border adjustment tax proposal pushed by Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) to tax imports
and exempt exports is withering in the face of opposition from conservative groups, retailers
and fellow Republicans who warn it would increase prices on consumer goods.
Yet Republicans need to find some other way to pay for their tax reform proposal if they
don�t want to add to the deficit.
�The border adjustable piece, I wish they would whip that to find out what the sense
is.
And if you don�t have the votes on it, then you got a trillion dollar hole that you gotta
fill.
And there�s ways to do that linked to the budget,� Brat said.
Healthcare
In the Senate, the GOP�s goal is to finish work on legislation repealing and replacing
ObamaCare by the August recess.
Whether they can do it is anyone�s guess.
There are severe differences among Republican senators over how to move forward, and McConnell
has been careful about setting expectations.
GOP senators distanced themselves from a Congressional Budget Office analysis this week that predicted
23 million people would lose insurance over the next decade under the House bill.
It also projected higher costs for older and sicker people.
Senate GOP staff will be drafting legislation during the Memorial Day recess, with a discussion
draft possibly circulating when senators return.
There�s an added reason for the Senate GOP to move quickly.
It is using the same budget reconciliation rules to avoid a Democratic filibuster on
healthcare that it intends to use on tax reform.
But it�s unclear how long the reconciliation vehicle for the healthcare bill will last.
The reconciliation measure is for fiscal year 2017, and Committee for a Responsible Federal
Budget senior advisor Ed Lorenzen noted that the Senate parliamentarian has not yet ruled
if reconciliation instructions expire at the end of the fiscal year in September.
If the parliamentarian were to rule the 2017 vehicle expires in September, Republicans
would have to either pass the healthcare measure quickly or try to move a bill the old-fashioned
way with Democratic votes.

ARCANE LEGENDS | TIPS ABOU MERCHANT - Duration: 8:49.
Hey guys. Welcome to another video
Today I will talk about something that many players ask me
What it is and how to do it
What merchant means?
Merchant means merchant :P
watch the video to know more about it
Back to talk, merchant is someone who buy and resell itens
Doesn't mean that he sells it for less, some yes...but
Not always the merchant is selling for less, be warned
1st step to be a merchant is: know the prices
You need a base of prices of the items
They can be: pet, jewels, vanities...everything
You need a base of values average of how much it costs
If it is cheap or expensive
You need a sense of it to be merchant
So my tip is: stay tunned in the prices of things that you plan to sell
Another advice is: starts it with some gold
don't do merch if you not have gold to survive
If you sadly lose something your gold may run out
Take care on this
3rd: do NOT buy too expensive items in the beggin
start with cheap itens
as example: with a Lepre
Planarite
Jewels
fury, mind, finess
stay tunned to know how much it is on markert
And see if you're doing a good deal, buying cheap and selling for more
Hoard the max of itens when they turn cheap, example:
In events, items usually lose the value, all general items not related with the event the price is down
And the items of the event lose value on the end of it
If you want something from event, a vanity..massive..anything
Do not buy in the beggin
But...sell everything that you drops at the start (when items are expensive)
If you notice in the end of the event that you farmed a lot, keep it.
Because The prices will raise up, mainly the massives
Im telling this because in the Goblin Event many players sold massive lockeds for 50-60k
And nowdays they can hit about 90k-120k
I sold some for this prices now and saved others because I hope that it raises up a little more
Let's talk about gold
If you have 1,000,000 in the stash you can start with items from 150 to 300k
Keep looking in auc those items
If you already knew the price..like Lepre...
everybody knows
Before was 150k max
Now we know that it costs from 170 to 220k
If you can get a lepre below of this value from auc
Why? Because the rotativity of it is pretty large. The key for beginners is:
Try with those kind of items: massive, jewels, locations, elixirs...
Rotativity is basically many players buying and selling
The best kind of items to a Kickstart your merch
When you have more gold, go for pets...pets are really expensive these days
Do not risk at the start with expensive items because you are learning
When you gain experience on it, and know how to play. Invest
You need patience
And always going between those two cities
Those places is where merchs happens more
Always full of sellers
The best place to sell something and buy cheap instead of auc
Always look the auc
Even if the item is cheap on auc, Buy it.
Even if ur not working with him
Careful with Trades
Some players still trying use the trade coup
DO NOT exist any bug on trade system
Look the item and look the price before confirm, do not accept without confirm the price and item
Vanities: they are pretty cool to work with
But you need caution with knowing the real prices
Whether it is overpriced or cost it.
In these times when theres no event, vanities usually disapair and some players try to overprice it
Be careful with fake prices
Some players overprice it and ppl still buying
players overprice it and some people end up buying.
be careful
that's why im telling 'know the prices' and 'look at auc'
In the beggin, if you can profit about 20-30k it's pretty nice
With time you can get 300k-1m per day by doing merchandising
Remember that is always risk, the market from AL it fluctuates a lot
Mainly with updates or events. Be careful, be patient and stay tunned in prices
always look at the prices
don't be fooled
My tips for today is that
I hope that you guys understood it, any doubts ask me
and if I can help you, i'll will
I had luck with merchandising before, with locations
I sold it expensive that I buyed
And with nekro
But Nekro today isn't really a advantage
Because its really expensive to craft
And to resell your profit is small, and need to wait 5 days...and in 5 days the price can change
Good luck, good game
Don't forget
Subscribe in the channel, gimme a thumbs up, leave a comment!
help me to make my channel grow up :P
cya ^.^

GOOD IDEA.

AN INSTANT A FIRE OR AN
ACCIDENT CAN READ TO A MAJOR
BURN LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO
BRETT.
I WENT INTO PANIC AND
SCREAMED.
I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED PAIN
LIKE THAT IN MY LIFE.
Reporter: SERIOUS BURNS END
UP IN BURN CENTERS LIKE THE UC-
SAN DIEGO UNIT PROFILED IN THE
DISCOVERY CHANNEL DOCUMENTARY.
SEVERE BURNS ARE AMONG THE
WORST INJURIES A PERSON CAN
GET.
ONE OF THE FIRST PRIORITIES IS
TRYING TO COVER THE BURNED
SKIN TO PREVENT DIE HYDRATION
AND INFECTION -- DEHYDRATION
AND INFECTION.
YOU WANT TO CLOSE THE WOUND
QUICKLY.
YOU WOULDN'T HAVE TO MAKE A
NEW WOUND BY HARVESTING SKIN
FROM THE PATIENT FROM
SOMEWHERE THAT ISN'T BURNED.
Reporter: THE ASSOCIATE
DIRECTOR OF THE LARGEST BURN
CENTER IN THE NORTHEAST AT NEW
YORK-PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL
SAYS THAT USUALLY MEANS
COVERING THE BURNS WITH
CADAVER SKIN FROM A SKIN BANK
OR WITH PIGSKIN.
IF YOU CLEAN THE WOUND,
THEN YOU COULD COVER IT WITH
ONE OF THOSE MATERIALS.
THE SKIN WOULD HAVE AS GOOD A
CHANCE TO REGROW THE PART OF
IT THAT WAS LOST.
Reporter: BUT WHAT IF
THERE'S NOT ENOUGH DONOR OR
PIGSKIN FOR A BURN CENTER?
DOCTORS IN BRAZIL HAVE COME UP
WITH AN INGENIOUS SOLUTION.
USE WHAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF,
FISH SKIN.
MORE SPECIFICALLY, TILAPIA
SKIN.
SEEMS THAT BY CAREFULLY
HARVESTING, PROCESSING AND
FREEZING THE SKIN FROM WILD
AND FARMED TILAPIA, A MAJOR
FOOD EXPORT IN BRAZIL, DOCTORS
CAN USE IT'S A DRESSING TO
COVER BURNED SKIN.
DR. BESSIE SAYS THAT'S NOT AS
ODD AS IT SOUNDS BECAUSE --
IF THEY CAN MAKE THE WOUND
WARM, KEEP IT MOIST AND HAVE A
RELATIVELY FREE FROM BACTERIA,
THEY SHOULD HAVE GOOD RESULTS.
Reporter: DOCTORS AT THE
FEDERAL UNIVERSITY IN NORTHERN
BRAZIL ARE TESTING THE TILAPIA
SKIN ON THEIR BURN PATIENTS
AND SAY THAT SO FAR, IT SPEEDS
UP HEALING BY SEVERAL DAYS AND
REDUCES THE NEED FOR PAIN
MEDICATION.
JUST LIKE HUMAN OR PIGSKIN,
IT'S A TEMPORARY BANDAGE WHICH
THE BODY EVENTUALLY SLOUGHS
OFF OR IS REMOVED BY DOCTORS.
DR. BESSIE TOLD ME THAT
DOCTORS IN BRAZIL ARE ALSO
USING SOMETHING ELSE THEY
APPARENTLY HAVE PLENTY OF TO
TREAT BURNS.
BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THAT'S FROG
SKIN.
[ LAUGHTER ]
RESEARCHERS IN THE U.S. AND
AUSTRALIA ARE DEVELOPING
SYNTHETIC SKIN GROWN IN THE
LAB FROM STEM CELLS WHICH MAY
BE THE FUTURE BUT RIGHT NOW,
IT'S VERY EXPENSIVE AND IT'S
SLOW TO GROW SO YOU NEED
SOMETHING MORE QUICK FOR BURN
VICTIMS.
WHAT'S NEXT?
CHICKEN SKIN?
I DON'T KNOW ABOUT
CHICKENS.
YOU HAVE TO PULL OFF THE
FEATHERS.
IT SOUNDS AMAZING THOUGH,
THE CONCEPT, RIGHT?
IT'S -- IT'S -- IT'S
PLIABLE.
IT WORKS JUST LIKE SORT OF
HUMAN SKIN OR PIGSKIN FROM
SKIN BANKS OR WHATEVER.

13 CELEBRITY SIBLINGS You Didn't Even Know Existed! - Duration: 7:00.
13 Celebrity Siblings You Didn't Even Know Existed!
13.
Aimee Osbourne Although many reality television fans may
feel they know the Osbourne family a little too well (thanks to the mega-successful MTV
series The Osbournes), what many don't realize is that Jack and Kelly Osbourne have another
sibling.
Indeed, Ozzy and Sharon have a third child.
Aimee Osbourne is the eldest of the three, but isn't famous because she declined to appear
on the television series which made her siblings famous.
She felt that it would cast her family in a bad light and would force her to be typecast
as a member of the "crazy" Osbourne tribe.
It's hard to argue with that logic - since anyone who has seen the show knows how it
made her family look.
Aimee is a musician as well as an actress, but that's where the similarities between
herself and her father end.
Instead of working in the heavy metal arena, Aimee lends her talent to synth pop in her
own band named ARO (which stands for her initials).
12.
Monica Cruz Being the younger sister of a household name
such as Penelope Cruz might seem like it would be a bit of a disadvantage if your goal was
to launch your own acting career, but that hasn't stopped Monica Cruz.
At 39 years old and bearing a striking resemblance to her older sister, Monica has had a good
amount of success in the Spanish acting world as well as having previously worked as a stand-in
for Penelope while she was pregnant during the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean: On
Stranger Tides.
She is also a well-established dancer and model.
11.
Don Swayze With the last name Swayze, it's expected that
people will draw an instant correlation to the late great Patrick Swayze.
That's not the only correlation people draw when they see Don Swayze, however.
Patrick's younger brother and fellow actor bears an uncanny, striking resemblance to
his brother.
That has certainly aided the actor in getting his career off the ground, but from there
he's done some great things on his own.
Don is well known for his roles on super successful soap operas such as Days of Our Lives and
The Young and the Restless.
Additionally, Swayze has appeared on the HBO series True Blood and the crime drama Criminal
Minds.
10.
Lisa Roberts Gillian It can be understandably difficult to break
out of the shadow of a famous sibling, but Lisa Roberts Gillian has had the arduous task
of separating herself from not just one, but two famous siblings.
The sister of A-Lister actress Julia Roberts and the actor Eric Roberts, who is famous
in his own right, Lisa has done what she can to gain the spotlight on her own.
She has had roles in many films such as Runaway Bride, Maid in Manhattan, Raising Helen, and
Mona Lisa Smile.
Additionally, she's worked in the Producer capacity for for films such as Nothing To
Lose and the American Girl TV Movie series.
9.
Lottie Moss It's definitely understandable when a younger
sibling looks up to their older sibling.
However, there's always something special about a person who is capable of standing
completely out of their sibling's shadow, and Lottie Moss is definitely doing that.
The younger sister of supermodel Kate Moss, Lottie Moss is also a model who is carving
a name out for herself.
The 18 year old model is known for being strikingly beautiful, just like her sister, but is already
doing what she can to make her own name in the modeling world.
8.
Sofia Richie Being Nicole Richie's sister and Lionel Richie's
daughter, fame and success are something you'd expect to come naturally to Sofia Richie.
However, the 18 year old has yet to make a big impression of her own.
That said, she has made a splash on the scene both in relation to her sister and also as
the one-time other half of Justin Bieber.
She also is beginning to make a name for herself in the fashion community with recent forays
into modeling, and has even appeared in magazines like Elle and Vanity Fair Italia.
7.
Austin Swift Born in March of 1992, Taylor Swift's younger
brother Austin Swift is 2 years younger than his mega-star sister.
That doesn't stop him from living it up along with Taylor, though.
In fact, Austin has firmly established himself as a fully-fledged member of the Taylor Swift
entourage.
He is frequently seen along with his big sis at events and awards ceremonies, rubbing elbows
with big wigs of the Hollywood and music industries.
When he's not hanging out with Taylor, he also enjoys his own hobbies such as acting
in plays at Notre Dame, from which he graduated in 2015.
It definitely seems like he's enjoying himself most, though, when he's doing things like
posing with Selena Gomez at the Grammys (and who can blame him?).
6.
Rajad Fenty One plus of being the sibling of a one-name-famous
celebrity is that you won't be instantly recognizable everywhere you go just based
on your name alone.
This is probably why Rajad Fenty has been able to fly under the radar for the most part,
despite being the younger brother of one of the most famous musicians in the world, Rihanna.
Now that he's made it into the public eye, though, he enjoys a fairly large following
on Instagram (about 180,000 followers), and frequently visits with his sister as she's
shooting her music videos and performing.
He seems to be the frequent subject of his older sister's affection - she has been
seen many times taking him out on shopping trips and even bought him a $120,000 Mercedes
for his 16th birthday.
5.
Emily Deschanel You'd think that being the sister of one
of America's golden girls might eventually get wearing, but Emily Deschanel has instead
stepped completely out of her sister Zooey's spotlight and instead made one of her own.
Although the connotation of the name is there, Emily's work stands for itself, and she
has managed to not be seen as riding her sister's coat tails at all.
Her most famous work is starring in the hit Fox procedural crime drama Bones, but she's
appeared in many films and television shows, and has more than 25 credits to her name.
4.
Amy McCarthy Sister of the famous actress and model Jenny
McCarthy, Amy McCarthy is still not very well known.
Nevertheless, she enjoys a full life with an interesting job and interests.
Amy McCarthy has done some acting work, including appearing alongside her sister Jenny in the
2005 movie Dirty Love.
The film was a flop and grossed a mere $36,000 dollars.
Additionally, she has appeared as Playboy's Cybergirl in 2008, and played in the Lingerie
Bowl in 2006.
3.
Dan Heder Though Dan Heder isn't an instantly recognizable
name, we'd bet you'd recognize his face.
Or, that is, you'd recognize his brother's face.
Jon Heder, famous for appearing as the main character in 2004's Napoleon Dynamite, has
an identical twin brother named Dan, who is also an actor.
Despite being an actor, Dan is best known for his work behind the scenes.
For instance, he's done visual effects work for films such as Edge of Tomorrow and 47
Ronin, and worked in the Animation Department for Monster House.
2.
Elizabeth Olsen It might be hard to believe, but the world-famous
Olsen Twins actually have a younger sister, and she's actually a pretty famous actress.
She's also every bit as stunningly beautiful as her older twin sisters have ever been (if
not more so).
Elizabeth Olsen is 28 years old, and has already landed some pretty huge roles.
These include Avengers: Age of Ultron, Captain America: Civil War, and Godzilla, among others.
The controversy surrounding her sisters' eating disorder nearly caused her to quit
acting in 2004, but luckily she stuck to her guns and is now emerging as a serious addition
to the Olsen family talent tree.
1.
Tom Franco When people think about James Franco's brother,
they inevitably think of Dave Franco.
Understandably - he's becoming well known in his own right.
But the brothers also have another brother, named Tom Franco.
Tom is the oldest of the three, and is also an actor.
He's additionally known for being the founder of the Firehouse Art Collective in Berkeley,
California.
The collective was co-founded by Franco's wife, Julia, until her death as a result of
liver cancer in 2014.
Tom continues to run the collective on his own now.

Breaking the Ice in the First Flash Challenge | Ink Master: Shop Wars (Season 9) - Duration: 9:41.
- What? - Cold, crazy maze of ice.
- This is insane.
[dramatic music]
- For the first time in "Ink Master" history,
you have each come here with a fellow artist
from your tattoo shop to prove that your shop is the best.
You'll succeed as a team and you will fail as a team.
- This is crazy.
- Win, and you both win.
But lose, and you're both out.
- This is no longer a solo sport.
This is two people being able to work together.
Any miscommunication could cost us the title.
- The last shop standing will win $200,000,
a feature in "Inked" magazine,
and the title of Ink Master.
- That is a bigger prize than I was expecting.
$200,000--we could pay off our student loans.
- But that's not all.
Your shop will also earn the first-ever title
of Master Shop.
- When you go to businesses that have the stickers
that says, like, "Best in the city,"
you're like, "Damn, I want to go do that."
So if we have a thing that said, "We are Master Shop,"
that's pretty cool.
- We have to win that first challenge.
- [chuckles] - It's a brand-new tattoo shop.
We're putting ourselves on the map for the world.
- Winning this would be a huge stepping stone
to make The Marked Society a household name in the industry.
- Your first opportunity to win starts right here, right now,
by winning your first flash challenge.
We are at the Frozen Carnival in Ice at Skyland Stadium.
And you're surrounded by more than 100 tons of ice.
- That's a lot of ice.
- For your first flash challenge,
you must create a sculpture that represents your shop
out of a block of ice.
♪ ♪
- I'm a tattoo artist.
Ice? Picks?
Hell no.
- Everything in this competition depends on you guys
working together.
You're representing for yourselves
and you're representing for where you work.
These flash challenges are not made to be easy,
but if you're a true artist, you can make art out of anything.
- This is your chance to get a leg up on the competition.
This is your chance to intimidate the other players.
This is your chance to bond as a team.
Start today. Start hard.
♪ ♪
- Win, and you'll receive a huge advantage.
You have four hours

- Let's do it. - All right, Bubba.
- All right, man.
- You're representing your whole business.
You come in here and you screw up this time?
You're not just screwing up yourself.
- What are you thinking?
- I was thinking some kind of robot, then his hand up here.
- For this first challenge, what we're looking for
is someone to be creative and work together
and do the best they can at something
they've never done before.
- So what was your idea?
- I'm thinking about doing a koi fish.
- If these people have a problem working together
right off the bat,
they shouldn't have come here together.
- One of my ideas was to incorporate the logo
in there somewhere.
- I don't want to force anything extra.
- I should mimic what you're doing on the other side, right?
- Uh, yeah, I mean, that'd be cool, if you want.
We're thinking the best thing to do would be to cut out
the bigger pieces first.
And I gotta do the top 'cause you're all short and whatnot.
- [laughs]
- I really like working with my significant other.
- The ole ball and chain.
- You're my ball and chain. I like your...
- [laughs] That's not a good thing to say.
- All I want to see is this damn fin.
And you said it's going like that.
- I'm not sure yet.
Bang is a hard-ass.
I had no idea that we were literally gonna be
doing everything together.
- I'm telling you, we need to start building
these fins now before we go any lower.
We don't even have the fin or this.
We don't have none of that yet.
- We're not there yet.
- We're not on the same page, obviously.
If we're gonna carve out a inch, we need to plan to have this
left over for the fin.
He has this idea and this vision,
and I'm just not seeing it.
- This is gonna be this.
Look at the perspective.
- Two more hours remaining. Two more.
[heavy rock music]
♪ ♪
- Just remember: no risk, no reward.
We got this.
- I definitely feel like we're underestimated being two females
in the tattoo industry, which is totally male dominated.
But that just puts a fuel in the fire.
Man, if we could come out of here winning
the first flash challenge...
- Dude, that'd be so dope. - Right.
[exciting rock music]
♪ ♪
- The tail feathers can only go so far
'cause there's only so much ice.
- As long as the effect is there, you know?
- Yeah. - Doom and I have only worked
together for maybe five months.
We're gonna be learning a lot about each other
as this competition progresses.
I'm known in the industry for having a lot of detail
in my tattoos.
How about we just get done everything on here first.
And then if there's time, then you can experiment.
- [laughs]
Then we can give it a crown.
Erin is my boss.
She has a decade more experience.
But your experience doesn't matter.
What matters is how you're gonna navigate this competition.
- I'm just gonna cut in as much as I can.
- Okay. - And--and yeah.
- Cool. - We'll see.
- Ooh, ooh, ooh.
- Oh, no. Are you okay?
- Yeah, I'm fine-- I just mashed my hand.
- I love working together. He's my best friend.
- Oh, yeah, I'm okay.
- And he's my co-worker.
- I'd kind of like to round this stuff off.
- Okay. And he's my husband.
♪ ♪
- I do neo-traditional tattoos, but I can make a clean,
solid tattoo in every style.
[laughs]
- Oh, my God, are they flower buds?
- Yeah, they're flower buds.
- How the [bleep] did you do that?
- I figured out that I can make some roses
on the inside of the ice.
I should do one more over here, right, or...
- I don't think we should worry about filling it
'cause we don't want it to be super cluttered.
I specialize in a lot of illustrative tattooing
with a very strong traditional background.
With our powers combined, we could be an unstoppable force.

♪ ♪
- Five, four,
three, two, one.
That is it. Time is up.
No more sculpting.

[suspenseful music]
- All right, Pinz and Needlez,
it is now time to critique your work.
Talk to me about your design.
- Love goes into all of our work that we do.
- We're all about heart.
- I like how recognizable it is right off the bat.
There's some very small, little veins
and some ventricles up top that are nice.
But the big veins down through the center are very smooth,
very well done.
- This is the way to really come out swinging
and start off on the right foot.
- Unkindness Art.
- You created one large image that's incredibly readable
with various textures.
You guys put everything you had
into creating a piece of art that's risky.
To see what you're able to do with a tattoo machine
is gonna be exciting.
I look forward to seeing it.
both: Thank you.
- Thicker Than Blood.
- This is a strong image.
And it's powerful.
And that's what we are as a shop.
- Looks like it's a Hannya mask.
The anatomy's a little bit off.
There's no forehead. And it's all chin.
- Artistic Skin Design.
- You guys really put a lot of time into the beveling.
And especially you took a lot of time, more detail,
in the mouth to get that deep, setback mouth with the teeth.
Valiant effort for a new medium.
- Next up is Black Anchor.
- Everybody went pretty 3-D, and y'all went totally flat.
- Being the first challenge out of the gate,
take the brakes off.
Gotta go, man. Go, go, go.
- Everybody knows who Carlos is.
He's very popular on the internet.
I was expecting to be wowed by their ice sculpture
and it was literally a little flat.
- Next up is The Marked Society.
- What better than a tattoo machine?
- It's super clean and legible.
But what's super impressive is how straight and precise
you were able to make each line in this piece.
- Thank you.
- Allegory Arts.
How does this identify your shop?
- It's clearly the logo, correct?
- It is. It's also the state...
- Of Alabama, which is where our shop is.
- The creativity of using the shape of the state
as the whole block, having the tip
and the top of the flowers poking out through it,
the way you put the flower in the background
by impressing it in so you can see it from the front
is very nice.
The craftsmanship is very well done.
- Wow. Thank you very much.
- Thank you.
- Classic Trilogy Tattoo.
- We're pretty much, like, a big nerd shop.
So, like, everything we do is just pop culture and fun.
- It's a big, cool, fun image.
You really got the shape of the ice to become what it is,
and that really stands out.
And it's bold and strong.
- Tri-Cities Tattoo.
- I can definitely tell it's a fish,
but it is a little bit hard to see exactly what's going on.
Seems like there's a lot of ice that you just took away
and then a lot of ice that you didn't use.
- Gotcha.
- Tri-Cities' looked like a damn beached whale.
I don't know what the hell they were going for.
♪ ♪
- Today's first flash challenge.
The stakes are a lot higher than ever before
because we've never given out 200 grand,
we've never had shops battling out.
- There's a lot on the line for the reputation of the shop.
But I also think this is a great advantage.
- If they're smart and they come in with someone
who has what they don't have,
those are the teams that are really gonna shine.
- I was pretty impressed with Allegory Arts.
- You know, they really used a lot of different techniques.
- They did a couple little trick effects
that just really set them apart.
- I also think that Pinz and Needlez did a great job
with the anatomical heart.
- Their piece was probably the most legible piece.
- One shop that did a really great job in terms of using
the entire block of ice was Unkindness Art.
- That is a sculpture, a bird from every angle
you look at it.
- We're all pretty agreed, yeah?
- Yeah. - Got it.

Why having doubts isn't a bad thing - Duration: 2:53.
- Should you be having doubts
or should you be 100% sure about what you're doing?
(upbeat music)
Now, you're probably thinking I'm gonna say
you should be 100% about what you're doing.
There should be no doubts coming in,
and you should be 100%, but that's not realistic.
There's nothing realistic about that.
You see, for a lot of us we've been told
that if you have doubts, that means there's a problem.
If you're having doubts, it means you should give up,
but that's not necessarily true.
You see if you think about it,
if you didn't have any doubts,
it would mean that you've got complete tunnel vision
and you're refusing to see any other way.
Often refusing to have doubts
is almost like brain washing into thinking
that there's no other way of doing things.
It's just this way.
There's nothing wrong with having doubts
because doubts are our way of getting us to question things,
to ask ourself, am I fully happy with what I'm doing?
Is there something I need to change,
and if we allow ourselves to go with the doubt
and to listen to what it's saying rather than trying
to shut it down straight away out
of fear of what it's saying, we can learn something from it.
Very often we can block out doubts,
because we fear, what if I have to make a big change now?
I don't want to have to make a big change,
I'm happy with where I'm going.
So we block the doubts out.
Instead if we choose to listen to them
and see what they're trying to tell us,
there's something we can learn from it.
So, here's my big hearted question for you today.
When doubts show up for you,
how can you learn to listen to them?
What can you do to switch on and to listen
to what those doubts are?
Because when you choose to listen to them,
you learn something.
Yes you may need to start over.
Yes, you may need to do things differently,
or you might not.
Those doubts can simply be your way
of trying to hold yourself still
and stop you from moving forward.
The only way you can find out,
is by listening to the doubts.
So, I'd love to hear your answers on that.
So come on over to Teresa Rock dot com,

Changing my life direction in front of Taipei 101 - 2017 Taiwan Trip Part 2 - Duration: 14:17.
We were heading to Taipei Main Station
We saw on the map
That we were close to a night market.
So we quickly got off.
Our bus just left.
We're at Song... Songshan Station.
We're at the MTR Songshan Station.
We'll check out the night market.
Yesterday, we went to Shilin Night Market.
It wasn't that great.
So tonight we'll check out Raohe Night Market.
Live adventure!
It's going to be an adventure.
It was a last minute decision.
Let go.
I think it was a good choice to stop by here.
You can't really compare but
Shilin Night Market is the biggest one.
There's a lot to see there.
A lot of games to play.
But when I think about a night market
I think of an outdoor market.
And...
Raohe Night Market
is outdoors
and vibrant.
So
This is a place you can really enjoy.
Just now.
These egg tarts are so tiny.
So I got some.
But I've got to make some room for them.
This looks good too.
I just bought these tarts
But right in front
They're making these rice cakes.
And now I want those too.
This place is amazing.
You can see them making the food.
You can see them making it like this.
I'm so excited.
Had to sprint across.
Behind me is a temple.
Ciyou Temple.
I've seen it in books.
We didn't plan to come here.
But...
Even though we didn't plan it
It's amazing.
You can see the temple light at night.
And the outdoor vendors making the food.
I just at a snack.
We saw a line
and thought we should check it out.
We tried it and..
Wow!
It was delicious.
It was hot, the outside was crispy.
And stuffed with meat.
Success!
We ordered this pork rib soup.
We finished eating all the meat already.
The soup is amazing!
It tastes like soup back home but healthier.
It's really satisfying!
This night market is ridiculous!
There's so much to eat.
Wandering around looking for more food.
It's a Taiwanese hot dog.
It looked different so I wanted to try it.
I though it was a bread bun
But it's not bread, it's rice.
It's a rice bun with a sausage.
With some sauce.
really interesting but good.
Check this one off the list.
I just can't stop eating!
So we finished with the hot dog.
Now we're heading back.
The night market at Songshan Station
starts to close at around 9pm.
So it's better to come here early.
I have some fried crab I'm taking with me.
We'll eat at the hotel.
Really glad we decided to get off the bus.
You should take some chances every now and then.
Hi, today is another dynamic start.
We on our way to Taipei 101.
We have our bags with us.
So we're looking for lockers at Taipei Main Station.
The problem is
We read on a blog
that there are locker at exit M3.
But they are all full.
So we checked over at the Airport MRT Station.
But there are no lockers there.
So we wandered around the Main Station
And we found some coin lockers.
We just took the last two large lockers.
You can see some more lockers behind me.
This spot has the most lockers.
Even past 12pm there are some empty lockers.
I don't know how to explain where this is.
We just stumbled upon it.
Between M3 and M2
Where it says 'You are here'.
This is where a bunch of lockers are.
If you're coming to Taiwan
You can leave your bags here.
I worked up a sweat.
No we have to go.
lighter without our bags.
Taipei 101, yay!
There are so many people here.
Taipei 101 is a really popular spot.
But today is Saturday
So there are even more people.
Little kids are playing in the fountain.
I want to get my feet wet too.
The Taipei 101 observatory...
I just got my ticket.
It was $600 Taiwan dollars.
It's 3:48pm now.
But our ticket is for 3:30pm.
So I think we better head up.
We had a late lunch
But it was delicious.
And today we had time to stop by here.
So I'm pretty happy about that.
It took only
37 second to the top.
And my ears are feel funny.
But now were here.
I need to pop them.
This is different.
I'm standing on a mirror now.
I don't think you can where a dress here.
Taiwan is beautiful.
It's Taipei 101 building.
We finished looking around.
We do a little shopping before we leave.
We wanted to see it light up
So we're waiting.
A lot of people have shown support for our Tubi (campervan) build.
I just wanted to thank everyone.
The reason why I'm in Taiwan
I bought the tickets way back in January.
I thought around this time...
I thought I might need a break in May.
So I bought tickets.
And now I'm glad I did.
I had some problems and stress at work.
I need to clear my mind.
I needed some time to think.
So this Taiwan trip
I didn't plan at all.
But I had been here once before.
So I wasn't too worried.
But because I had no plans
I might have some problems.
I might miss out on stuff.
But this trip for me
gave me an opportunity to think about my plan moving forward.
So this Taiwan trip
Really helped me a lot
to think about my life.
And what else....
Oh.. and it was healing.
and
I ate some great food.
And I was okay just winging it on this trip.
So I have regained a lot of energy from this trip.
I'll go back to Korea and start work on Tubi again.
In June, my life will move in a different direction.
It's not really a big dea.
But it's a change I need to make.
So I'll go in that direction.
And I'll work on finishing Tubi.
So I'm going to finish here in front of Taipei 101.
I'll see you in Korea... bye!
Try something new everyone!

Only 1 in 100 People Have Your Back - Duration: 1:02.
In a society that it is believed that only 1 out of 100 people have truly your back,
being loyal it is extremely important!
Loyalty is the ability to be honest, trustworthy, respectful, devoted, faithful, and have integrity,
towards yourself, a person, a group, your country, and the things that really matter
for you and for your life.
If you expect loyalty from others, you have to provide it first.
You have to apply all the characteristics that define loyalty, and above all you have
to be your word, and do exactly what you said that you are going to do.
And if for any reason you are not able to follow through, you have to restore your integrity
by admitting your mistake, and recommit that you are going to do the right thing moving
forward.

Ways to Save in 2017 (Pt. 4) | DLC YouTube - Duration: 1:03.
Switch your wireless/internet/cable providers If negotiating with your current company doesn't get
you the savings you want, it might be worth it to shop around for a better deal from a
competitor.
New customer agreements are often swayed heavily in your favor — just know how your bills
will be affected after the introductory package expires.
As long as you're happy with the fine print, you could pocket extra savings.
As an alternative, consider non-traditional options like streaming TV that can significantly
cut your cable bill and other costs.
Set goals You can likely make progress with saving your
money if you take random steps along the way.
But you're far more likely to see tangible growth — both in your habits and your bank
account — when you set goals you can work toward.
Maybe your goal is to build up an emergency savings account this year.
Or perhaps you'd like to have enough money to pay all of your bills on time each month.
Maybe you'd like to grow your retirement accounts or save for an upcoming trip without
relying on credit.
Whatever your goals are, write them down and follow best practices for keeping them.
That way, you'll be able to track your progress along the way.

Explaining the news to our kids How to make sense of the nonsensical - Duration: 6:26.
Explaining the news to our kids How to make sense of the nonsensical
Shootings, terrorist attacks, natural disasters, end-of-the-world predictions � even political
coverage of current events � can be upsetting news for adults, not to mention kids.
In our 24/7 news world, it�s become nearly impossible to shield kids from distressing
current events.
According to Common Sense Media�s report, News and America�s Kids: How Young People
Perceive and Are Impacted by the News, kids get their news from family, friends, teachers,
and of course the internet.
Kids like to check their social media for shareable videos, posts, blogs, feeds, and
alerts.
But the news can stress them out.
Since much of this content comes from sites that are designed for adult audiences, what
your kids see, hear, or read might not always be age-appropriate.
Making things even more challenging is the fact that many kids are getting this information
directly on their phones and laptops.
Often parents aren�t around to immediately help their kids make sense of horrendous situations.
The bottom line is that young kids simply don�t have the ability to understand news
events in context, much less know whether or not a source of information is credible.
And though older teens are better able to understand current events, even they face
challenges when it comes to sifting fact from opinion � or misinformation.
No matter how old your kids are, threatening or upsetting news can affect them emotionally.
Many can feel worried, frightened, angry, or even guilty.
And these anxious feelings can last long after the news event is over.
So what can you do as a parent to help your kids deal with all this information?
TIPS FOR ALL KIDS Consider your own reactions.
Your kids will look to the way you handle the news to determine their own approach.
If you stay calm and rational, they will, too.
Take action.
Depending on the issue and kids� ages, families can find ways to help those affected by the
news.
Kids can write postcards to politicians expressing their opinions; families can attend meetings
or protests; kids can help assemble care packages or donate a portion of their allowance to
a rescue/humanitarian effort.
Check out websites that help kids do good.
TIPS FOR KIDS UNDER 7 Keep the news away.
Turn off the TV and radio news at the top of the hour and half hour.
Read the newspaper out of range of young eyes that can be frightened by the pictures (kids
may respond strongly to pictures of other kids in jeopardy).
Preschool kids don�t need to see or hear about something that will only scare them
silly, especially because they can easily confuse facts with fantasies or fears.
Stress that your family is safe.
At this age, kids are most concerned with your safety and separation from you.
Try not to minimize or discount their concerns and fears, but reassure them by explaining
all the protective measures that exist to keep them safe.
If the news event happened far away, you can use the distance to reassure kids.
For kids who live in areas where crime and violence is a very real threat, any news account
of violence may trigger extra fear.
If that happens, share a few age-appropriate tips for staying and feeling safe (being with
an adult, keeping away from any police activity).
Be together.
Though it�s important to listen and not belittle their fears, distraction and physical
comfort can go a long way.
Snuggling up and watching something cheery or doing something fun together may be more
effective than logical explanations about probabilities.
TIPS FOR KIDS 8�12 Carefully consider your child�s maturity
and temperament.
Many kids can handle a discussion of threatening events, but if your kids tend toward the sensitive
side, be sure to keep them away from the TV news; repetitive images and stories can make
dangers appear greater, more prevalent, and closer to home.
Be available for questions and conversation.
At this age, many kids will see the morality of events in stark black-and-white terms and
are in the process of developing their moral beliefs.
You may have to explain the basics of prejudice, bias, and civil and religious strife.
But be careful about making generalizations, since kids will take what you say to the bank.
This is a good time to ask them what they know, since they�ll probably have gotten
their information from friends, and you may have to correct facts.
Talk about � and filter � news coverage.
You might explain that even news programs compete for viewers, which sometimes affects
content decisions.
If you let your kids use the Internet, go online with them.
Some of the pictures posted are simply grisly.
Monitor where your kids are going, and set your URLs to open to non-news-based portals.
TIPS FOR TEENS
Check in.
Since, in many instances, teens will have absorbed the news independently of you, talking
with them can offer great insights into their developing politics and their senses of justice
and morality.
It will also help you get a sense of what they already know or have learned about the
situation from their own social networks.
It will also give you the opportunity to throw your own insights into the mix (just don�t
dismiss theirs, since that will shut down the conversation immediately).
Let teens express themselves.
Many teens will feel passionately about events and may even personalize them if someone they
know has been directly affected.
They�ll also probably be aware that their own lives could be affected by violence.
Try to address their concerns without dismissing or minimizing them.
If you disagree with media portrayals, explain why so your teens can separate the mediums
through which they absorb news from the messages conveyed.
