Youtube daily report w Aug 24 2017

In addition to maps and some graphics, enemies and sounds, it has no difference in relation to

WolfenDOOM: The Original Missions, here. Who watched our video about that PWAD you should know what

to expect here, but note that the old Spear of Destiny maps can be totally combined with the

virtually infinite stock of Doom mods. It is something quite interesting, in my opinion.

Note that WolfenDOOM was released in 1998 and, if I'm not mistaken, PolyObjects only

appeared in ZDoom the following year. This explains why the doors and secret passages

open vertically, as in Doom, instead of horizontally, as in Wolf3D and SoD.

I used GZDoom 2.4 to record this video, with lighting settings and stuff. If you play with

an older port or the mod's own executable file, its looks may not be so elegant.

However, in this way that I played, one can notice some strange things, like corpses that

produce brightness and bugs in the Angel of Death level on Map 19.

[bright music]

narrator: Do you enjoy always

pulling your boxer brief legs down?

We didn't think so, so we created

these Fruit of the Loom no ride up boxer briefs.

They won't ride up your legs,

and they have a fly shaped for extra support.

Plus, their waistband is non-binding,

so it won't pinch, and you'll stay comfy.

NEWS FLASH: It's Not Doctors Who Created the Opioid Catastrophe - Duration: 7:15.

A drug company in Arizona will possibly spend up to $4.5 million to settle a lawsuit brought

against it by the attorney general of Illinois.

The state attorney alleges that the company pushed doctors to prescribe its opioid pain

killer beyond its intended use.

According to Illinois's Department of Public Health, nearly 1,400 residents have already

died of overdoses from all types of opioids in 2015 alone.

Joining me now to discuss the overall opioid addiction issue, from Illinois, is Dr. John

Benedetto, COO of Brightside an opioid treatment clinic.

As someone who works directly with opioid patients, what is the positive effect, do

you think, that this settlement'll have as far as Chicago in general?

What do you think is the net of this, doc?

What is your take?

Well, at Brightside we treat patients on the frontline, so these people are in crisis.

We're the first ones to see them, so it's one of those things where, if they're in crisis

and we can't see them right away, they don't get seen at all.

We have them treat them with immediacy and compassion.

This type of settlement won't help us at all.

None of the money will find its way to the frontlines.

Yeah, I think that's a good point.

As a matter of fact, as you may or may not have known before you came on this show, but

we're being hired to handle cases all over the country for various governments, but what

we're handling county by county, where the county can get money back for what it's actually

going to take to rehab for what it takes for dependency hearings, for what it takes for

the law enforcement issues, all of this, what we call the tail of the epidemic.

I'm sure you're familiar with that term, is after the opioids come through, then comes

the black tar heroin, and all types of drugs connected to it.

I don't see how this little bit of money really solves anything.

How bad is the epidemic in Chicago?

It's definitely way worse than the statistics, because the statistics are really run off

of overdoses, and overdoses are just the tip of the iceberg.

That has nothing to do with the actual number of people that are addicted.

The crisis is actually exponentially bigger than what people are talking about.

You're seeing this firsthand, and as somebody seeing firsthand, you come out and say the

statistics don't mean anything, which I would totally agree with you.

I've seen the statistics and I've talked to people like yourself who have to figure out,

how do you treat these people to actually have any kind of meaningful result?

Let me ask you this.

The sum of the literature that I'm seeing is the opioid affects the dopamine control

for the brain, and once that dopamine control is out of whack because of opioid addiction

or heroin addiction, whichever may be, that it takes two to three years for the dopamine

level just to come back to anything that looks like normal.

How do you possibly treat this many people in a long-term for that little bit of money?

I can't understand why this attorney general settled this for so little money.

That's what I'm trying to get my head around.

Well, probably because it's not really the pharmaceutical company's fault.

They're supplying a medication that's being misused at the doctor level and at that insurance

level with the way that they rate pain control in the hospitals.

They link their payments to the actual pain control surveys that they do.

Doctors are incentivized to give too much medicine, otherwise they don't get paid the

same amount.

They get paid less.

This is a problem that's bureaucratic in nature and has flowed all the way down to the private

sector.

Well, I would disagree with you on one thing, because I'm actually seeing the documents.

You may not have that advantage.

We're seeing the documents where we see that the companies, the manufacturers and the distributors,

actually built in what we call diversion, which is a criminal use.

They actually built that into their business plan.

You many not have heard that before.

If you look at the way the companies made money, the first two years they come out and

say, "Well, gee whiz, we didn't know this was going to happen."

By year three, four, five, six, and seven, it's very clear that the distributors, that

the salespeople living in neighborhoods where people are lined up around pill mills ... It's

7:00 in the morning in their pajamas waiting to get the pills.

The actual salespeople are observing that going on.

I don't know how you could say it's not because of the companies.

We're saying it's absolutely because of the companies, it's absolutely because of the

distributors.

Their [inaudible 00:04:41] profits, by the way, went from $158 million in year one to

$6 billion in year four, so they knew what was going on and they actually built it in

their business plan.

Have you not seen signs of that in Chicago?

Well, I've seen massive amounts of that, especially in the early 90s, when Purdue Pharma was specifically

doing that and teaching the doctors outright that the addiction level's only 1% as long

as you're giving it for pain control.

I wasn't aware of that being done with other companies.

It might very well be true.

As far as I'm concerned, that may be the leading edge of it, but the real problem is the doctors

prescribing, and they're not prescribing properly.

Well, are you familiar with the literature that Purdue and some of the manufacturers

actually paid for and created, where they would send salespeople around to the doctors

and say, "Gee whiz, we've done the studies and the studies show that this is not addictive."

They're actually telling the doctors that, "Our opioid is different, so it's okay for

you to use it."

You know that part of the story too.

We're seeing more and more of that.

We actually see the doctors that they hired to do this were paid to write these articles

to phony up the truth about opioids being non-addictive.

I don't know if you've seen any of that in Chicago, but we see it all over the country.

Well, we've seen it, but particularly before with Purdue we saw it.

With the modern companies, since that lawsuit has gone through, I wasn't aware of any of

these new ones doing that.

I thought it was pretty much in the 90s with Purdue.

Yeah, what we see, sir, is pictures, where law enforcement has taken pictures, of people

standing in their pajamas lined up outside doctors' offices, lined upside drugstores,

lined outside pill mills.

We find out that the distributor for that product lives no less than two miles away,

drives by that every day, and sees that actually occurring.

To say that there's no notice, that the company didn't know this was going on, that this is

all the doctors' fault, I just don't see that connection, but maybe there's something I'm

missing.

At full disclosure-

You still need-

We're hired to handle these cases on behalf counties and cities all over the country.

Right, but you still need doctors to write those prescriptions.

I do appreciate your effort, and I don't know how $4 million is going to be enough to go

around here.

At any rate, good luck up there.

I hope you can help solve the problem.

It's going to take a lot more than $4 million.

I think you'd agree with that.

No, I agree.

Thanks for joining me.

The "Black" Viking - Duration: 8:11.

hello friends my name is Arith Härger and today I'm going to talk about the "Black" Viking

now, my previous video was myself expressing my thoughts on racism and

diversity and etc and I will leave a link down below in the description for that video

and given the circumstances I thought it will be interesting to tell

you about the tale of the Black Viking now this is a true historical account

with a few fantastical elements here and there to beautify the tale but no less true

and I advise you to turn on the subtitles because there will be a few

strange names as it is normal when we are dealing with Scandinavian studies

so let's get started

this is a story about a man named Geirmundur Heljarskinn

born in Rogaland (Norway) between the years 850 and 950 A.D.

he was one of the first explorers to settle in Iceland going with the early Viking expedition teams

this is not a fictional character from Norse mythology or the

Sagas as I have said, this person is in fact an historical figure and nowadays

in Iceland people can still trace their bloodline through genetic tests to this

ancestor of theirs - and such tests have been performed

he was a "black" Viking

but not in the way you might think not black because he was of African ancestry nor

because he was so evil that he gained this seemingly ominous title of being

"dark" when darkness is associated with evil, mystery, death and even magic

he was black or dark according to the perception of the people of these times

the reactions people had in relation to this man are really interesting and

makes us wonder about certain attitudes society as towards people who are physically different

the rather short story of Geirmundur Heljarskinn

is present within the Landnámabók which is "The Book of Settlements"

a medieval Icelandic written record which describes the settlement of

Iceland by the Norse between the 9th and 10th centuries

if you research the story

it's called Geirmundar þáttr heljarskinns and this story is about

Geirmundur and his brother Hámund

this account comes in great detail about the

lineage of r Geirmundur which I will not tell it here so we can go straight to the point

suffice it to say that there was a man called Hjör

doing the regular raiding and pillaging to obtain wealth

this Hjör went raiding in Bjarmland the westernmost part of Siberia where there

was a great trading activity between the natives and the Norse

Hjör took as a hostage of value a young Siberian woman called Ljufvina the very daughter of the "king" of Bjarmland

Hjör ended up marrying this woman, now in Siberia there were no kings

these were nomadic people so it's quite possible that this whole story of

her being a princess was made up to have a royal justification for her to become

a queen in Norway otherwise without a royal lineage she would have no claim to the throne

the majority of Siberians are of mongol

origins - with dark air and skin - and Ljufvina was no exception

now speaking of genetics we know that when two people both having different skin colors from one another

the darker pigmentation tends to thrive

and to be more visible but this is nowadays that we have this knowledge

back in medieval times people expected their sons to follow their father's

lineage therefore more prone to look like their fathers, Hjör was a man with

Nordic features so people were surprised when Ljufvina gave birth to two boys with dark hair and skin

to the ancient Scandinavian societies people with

darker skin colors were considered to be well... black, but being black during

these times at least in ancient Scandinavia wasn't necessarily a motive

for prejudice, intolerance, the only problem here was the fact that the

father was white, tall, fair of hair and the social belief that children should

look like their fathers, these were patriarchal societies

another problem was that the children looked nothing like the royal lineage of

kings and queens of Norway they looked much more like Thralls - slaves - and this was

absolutely unconceivable for Nobles

this isn't a case of racism in ancient societies

the problem wasn't directly due to their skin

the problem was breaking the royal lineage

the secret of the two brothers

Geirmundur and Hámund was kept by the family and a few trustworthy people

a white slave woman had given birth to a son and so they replaced the two

brothers for this white skinned baby from a slave, the two brothers

lived as slaves within their own father's household, as I have said

it didn't matter at all if the boys had light-skin or dark-skin, the only thing

that mattered was the fact that they were sons of the king and carried within

themselves many of the noble and royal virtues of this great lineage

independent of the dark skin, the two young boys grew up and became healthy

resilient, strong and intelligent, all the characteristics associated with royalty

while the young white prince grew up weak, cowardly and not very clever

a verdict of his slave ancestry according to this account and the beliefs of this time

when the boys reached the age of four it was clear to

those who knew the secret that no one could hide the truth any longer that the

slave boy who looked like a prince had no nobility at all, he only had the

colour considered "right" because it was the colour closer to the colour of Hjör

and nothing more

well finally the mother brought forth

the two brothers and told the truth to the king, yeah the King had absolutely

no idea about this swapping-babies-scheme, the King was only surprised by

the color of their skins because he had never seen before such darker skins

but he believed the boys were his sons therefore the boys gained this nickname

"heliarskinn"(dark-skin).

the boys grew up to be great warriors and Raiders

accumulating wealth and honor and perfectly accepted by the society they lived in

finally Geirmundur, like his father before him, travelled to Bjarmland (Siberia)

and returned with another Siberian wife - Illþurrka

together they settled in Ireland and then in Iceland where they became a very powerful family

the truth of this story has been confirmed by DNA tests of

living Geirmundur's descendants living in Iceland who have mitochondrial well....

maternal DNA which indicates their mother's Asian/Mongolian ancestry

all right friends thank you so much for watching and I hope you have enjoyed

this short tale which is a true historical account and I thought it

would be interesting to present you with this story after the previous video I have done

so thank you so much for watching see you on the next video

all the links to my social media are down below at the description and well

tack för idag! (thank you for today!)

Science Says Being Near The Ocean Changes Your Brain, And You Won't Believe How - Duration: 4:37.

Science Says Being Near The Ocean Changes Your Brain, And You Won�t Believe How

When it comes to things that put many of us at ease naturally, there are few things that

rank higher than the sound of waves crashing on a shoreline.

But it isn�t just the sea that relaxes us, and puts us at ease.

Our bodies know, intuitively, how calming large bodies of water can be, whether that�s

coastline, and the cascading waves, a tranquil lake shimmering in the mist, rosy at dawn

or dusk, a simple pool at the base of a waterfall, or even a creek tumbling by: Water is a calming

presence in our lives.

Intuitively, we know this to be true: It is good for us to be by water.

And now, science is proving it, as studies show that water, and the ocean specifically,

can inspire us creatively, reduce our anxiety, and even promote compassion in our thinking.

This comes to us via marine biologist Wallace J. Nichols, courtesy his book, Blue Mind:

The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You

Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do.

As Nichols explains, �We have a �blue mind� � and it�s perfectly tailored

to make us happy in all sorts of ways that go way beyond relaxing in the surf, listening

to the murmur of a stream, or floating quietly in a pool.�

For Nichols, a �Blue Mind� is a particular type of tranquil mind, or as he says, �a

mildly meditative state characterized by calm, peacefulness, unity, and a sense of general

happiness and satisfaction with life in the moment.

It is inspired by water and elements associated with water, from the color blue to the words

we use to describe the sensations associated with immersion.�

And that�s precisely what we know intuitively when we think about the calming effect of

water.

Water creates mindfulness, relaxation, and also focus, and simply being near water or

gazing out on it can have tremendous effects.

Nichols talks this in his TEDx talks on the topic, noting that for humans water contains

tremendous benefits, including emotional, social, and psychological rewards.

As he says, �Nature is medicine � a walk on the beach; a surfing session; a stroll

through the woods heals us.

It fixes what broken inside of us.

Nature can reduce our stress, it can make us more creative and bring us together.�

And that�s why we feel a sense of awe when approaching water, such as walking down the

beach, or beside a tranquil mountain lake.

His research supports this, too: �This sense of awe moves us from a �me� to a �we�

perspective.

Awe and wonder, and passion takes over in water.

There is a feeling of connection to others and something beyond the immediate.�

As such, it�s really no wonder that many people choose waterside locations as the venues

for their most meaningful life events, such as weddings, family reunions, anniversaries,

and more.

Similarly, it makes sense that so many of us would dream of retiring to a location by

the water.

Similarly, researchers at England�s University of Exeter discovered that when people live

closer to the English coast, they�re both healthier and happier.

They were able to prove this by using data from 48 million people and the 2001 census,

which allowed them to compare how close they lived to the sea as well as how happy and

healthy they were.

In fact, even just being able to see water can have tremendous mental health benefits.

That last finding comes from a cooperative study, courtesy at Canterbury University,

Otago University, and Michigan State University.

Their research looked at the relationship between exposure to blue and green spaces

and mental health.

By blue spaces, they meant specifically water visibility, and what they found won�t surprise

you: Simply being able to see water both lowers our stress levels and can contribute to far

better well-being, including our mental health.

If you�re like me, you�ve always sought out water.

Now you know why!

Why is not COLOMBIA The Greatest Latin American Power? - VisualPolitik EN - Duration: 13:20.

Located between the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, we could say Colombia is something

like the entry and exit door of South America.

And...

You know what?

This is Colombia…

The long and cheerful beaches of Santa Marta, La Guajira Desert [Pronounced: la wha-hee-ra];

the inaccessible Leticia, capital of the leafy Colombian Amazon rainforest…

Them there are the islands of San Andres and Providencia, the coffee belt of Quindío,

Caldas and Risaralda, and, of course, the vibrant cities of Medellin, Cali, or Barranquilla.

And…

We can't forget about the historical and proud Cartagena or the frenetic Bogota - the

great capital city of the country that, dear viewers, with its Candelaria, its Cerro de

Monserrate, or it's incredible museums of gold and art, will leave you speechless.

Yes...

We can't really be surprised that more and more travel guides are making Colombia a 100%

must-visit destination.

But as you may have guessed, this video is not going to be about tourism, not at all…

It's politics that we do here, after all.

On May 2018 the next presidential election in Colombia will be held, and by August 7th

this country will have a new President because the current one, Juan Manuel Santos, has already

reached the limit of two terms.

So, as Santos' time is coming to an end, with this video we want to take a look ahead

and find out what kind of Colombia he is going to leave his successor.

We're going to have a look at the great things, as well as the shadows…

TODAY'S COLOMBIA

A gambling man, a great poker player, and part of one of the most influential families

in Colombia…

 This is Juan Manuel Santos.

Even his great uncle, Eduardo Santos, was president of Colombia in the late 30s.

His family owned also El Tiempo, the most influential newspaper in the country.

In fact, the very same Juan Manuel Santos was for a long time deputy director and a

columnist at the newspaper.

What we are trying to say is that this family has never lacked influence, money or power.

So, after two terms, the 7th August 2017 marks the end of his time as President.

And, to be honest, his level of popularity is at rock bottom.

Even after winning the Nobel Peace Prize due to his peace deal with FARC, the lastest polls

at the moment of making this video show that between 65% to 75% of Colombian people disapprove

his governance.

So the question here is…

How does a Nobel Peace Prize winning leader have such strong disapproval ratings from

his people?

Perhaps it has to do with the controversy about his broken promise of the peace deal

with FARC - remember he assured them it was going to be the Colombian people, and no one

else, who were going to have the last word on the deal.

And, well… let's just say that Santos forgot about it.

"Colombia referendum: voters reject peace deal with Farc guerrillas" - The Guardian

"Colombia and FARC Sign New Peace Deal, This Time Skipping Voters" - The New York

Times

But apart from this, if there is really something that can make him have such low ratings, well

then it would be the economy.

Yep, during the last decade this "Pacific Puma" called Colombia, well it used to have

quite strong growth and it even became one of the most thriving Latin American countries.

However, lately things have been a little bit different, well, actually quite a lot

different.

Have a look at this chart: Today, Colombia is facing a situation of…

slowdown, which is really close to stagnation.

The latest growth figures show a year on year increase slightly above 1%, and 2017 the forecasts

don't seem to be much better at all...

"Colombian economy growth rate will be 1.5% in 2017, according to BBVA Research".

Heraldo

As you can see, this is not a good figure, especially if we consider that most of the

richest countries are growing at higher rates...

The United States, Canada, Spain, Germany, UK…

All of them will grow more than Colombia in 2017.

And well, it's supposed that when you are a poorer country, you grow more…

This is because of something called economic convergence.

So now the question has to become...

What is happening to Colombia?

Many blame this situation on the fall of oil and commodity prices...

And in a way this is sort of right, but there are some nuances to consider.

Now, it is true that at its climax in 2013, oil represented more than 50% of all the country's

exports, more than 30% of all foreign direct investment, and more than 20% of public revenues.

But it is also true that for many years, thanks to high oil prices, the government of Colombia

has had more resources than ever before, resources that could have been used to boost a productive

and competitive economy unrelated to these commodities.

And this is something that the Santos administration seems not have been able to do.

Perhaps because they have been dedicated.

almost exclusively, to the peace deal with FARC.

Anyway, let's now have a look at what are still the main weaknesses of the Colombian

economy...

DISASTROUS INFRASTRUCTURE

For years Colombia has been, how should we say it…

Almost a failed state in many areas...

These are areas that were controlled by warlords, guerrillas, militias, narcos…

So, now try to imagine how difficult it can be to manage such a country and how complex

building infrastructures there can be.

But that's not the whole story…

The reality is that infrastructure has never been a major priority for any Colombian government…

And the result of this is pretty obvious - the infrastructure in Colombia is really bad.

Today Colombia's infrastructure is truly dreadful, with most of their paved roads in

a state of disrepair.

The result?

And pay close attention to this because it's almost unbelievable...

Moving a container within the country is twice as expensive than in Mexico or Bolivia, and

4 times more expensive than in Argentina, Chile or Peru.

In fact the situation is so disastrous that freight transport between the Colombian ports

of Buenaventura and Bogota is three times more expensive than moving the same load from

Rotterdam to Frankfurt.

Interestingly some reports claim that sending a container from Cartagena to Bogota costs

three times more than sending it to Shanghai!

So, you can probably imagine all the effects that this has on supply costs, prices and

the competitiveness of Colombian companies.

According to a recent OECD report, Colombia is the third world's most expensive country

from which to export containers, after Venezuela and Russia.

That's why Juan Manuel Santos decided in 2010 to make changing this his top priority.

And it's true that his government has just released the biggest infrastructure plan in

the history of Colombia, a private, cofunded plan, which, under a concessionary system,

is actually pretty attractive.

Yes, this plan seems to be well designed but, after seven years, it just a bit too late,

and it comes with many problems.

To be honest, during his two terms, Santos achievements haven't really been as good

as he promised they were going to be...

BUREAUCRACY AND TAXES

Both the World Economic Forum and the World Bank confirm that Colombia is one of the countries

with the highest taxes on companies in the world…

Which is obviously something that doesn't help companies to grow and develop.

According to the 'Paying Taxes' report that every year PriceWaterhouseCoopers publishes,

the total of all taxes that a Colombian company has to pay is 69.8% of their pre-tax profits!

That's almost 70%, which is significantly higher than in countries like Germany, Spain,

the United States…

To be honest, it's pretty insane.

And then there is the bureaucracy, which has an almost equal level of insanity.

One day, we are going to make a video all about the great passion for bureaucracy that

Latin America has, but we can't do that in today's video because it's just such

a huge topic!

So, on an average day in Colombia, 15 rules and 3 decrees are issued.

Yep, that really is every day!

And not just that: according to research conducted by the University of La Sabana, more than

30% of the laws passed are useless and just create costs for Colombian society.

And what has Juan Manuel Santos done to solve all these issues?

Well, almost nothing.

In fact, he has made the situation even worse...

THE PERSISTENT VIOLENCE

It is true that many aspects related to security are improving in Colombia.

The uptick in the tourism industry in the country is good evidence of this...

In 2016 more than 5 million tourists visited this country, more than twice the number from

2010 and almost 10 times more than in the year 2000.

Not bad, right?

However, despite this, in many areas of the country, the situation is not really improving.

According to United Nations and the Colombian Conflict Analysis Resource Center, violence

still remains in the most affected areas of the country, without having FARC peace deal

substantially improved this situation.

In fact, for example, coca plant growing and cocaine refining it's in its highest.

Just have a look at this chart: So now you may be wondering…

How is it possible that violence levels and the production of illicit substances has not

been reduced since the government deal with FARC?

Well, that's because despite all the "marketing" from the government, and while the violence

by FARC was huge, it actually represented less than 10% of the nation's total violence.

And, moreover, the areas that FARC has left have not been occupied by government institutions

but by other narcos or mafia groups...

Some of them even by mutual agreement with FARC.

After all, the business is still very attractive…

The peace deal left many things up in the air, and that's why the so-called "peace

dividend" is not giving results as big as the government promised.

Now, to be fair, everything has not been bad under Santos' presidency.

THE BEST OF THE SANTOS ADMINISTRATION

We have to admit that Juan Manuel Santos has achieved some good things:

His government brought Colombia to the Pacific Alliance.

We're actually going to talk about this Alliance's success in an upcoming video,

so don't forget to subscribe!

And of course, his foreign agenda has been a great strength of his government, with Colombia

today being more open to the world than it was before Santos.

Further, poverty has been reduced considerably and the country has attracted lots of foreign

investment.

But despite all this, our impression here at VisualPolitik is that the arrival of a

new government can really be a positive turning point for Colombia.

When Juan Manuel Santos took office the country seemed to be ready to tackle a real process

of transformation, and their oil resources meant they had the ability to pay for it.

However, this has yet to be achieved.

Quite the contrary in fact...

Santos leaves a weak economic Colombia and many more future projects than present realities.

So now we'd love to know your opinion.

What do you think the future of Colombia will be?

How would you rate Santos?

Square Capital: Expanding Financial Access - Duration: 3:22.

JACKIE REESES: We hear about success stories all the time and they kind of tear at your heartstrings.

There are so many stories that you hear of

people living the total American dream.

COURTNEY: Having my own business has set my soul on fire.

It's made me realize that I can achieve anything that I want to do;

it doesn't matter where you came from.

LUCIA: I graduated from art school in 2009.

I couldn't really find a job and I just wanted to work in the darkroom.

JENN: When I lost my job, I had this vision that I would have a mobile flower truck.

When I realized that this was something I was really passionate about,

everything started happening really quickly.

ANDY: If you've ever been in business and you've gone to look for funding, you have

to fill out hundreds of pieces of paper, and all of the typical loan documents.

COURTNEY: I did try to get a loan the traditional way by going to the bank, but they required

so much of what I didn't have, being a new business.

It just made it really difficult to get that financial help.

That's when I was introduced to Square Capital.

JACK: What sets Square apart is that we have a deep relationship and understanding with

our sellers and we ask the questions "Can we be more proactive?"

"Can we help a seller buy a new salon chair, or hire a new employee?"

And that led us to an answer of Square Capital.

JENN: About a year ago, I was running some reports on Square

and just had a little window pop up…

LUCIA: So I got this email from Square, announcing this new program, Square Capital…

JENN: That mentioned something about Square Capital and I was like, "Hm, what's this?"

COURTNEY: What is this?

This is nice.

LUCIA: What? You're basically offering me money

at a fixed rate?

ANDY: You click on Capital in your dashboard…

JENN: They said, "Here is the amount that we approve you for,"

and the money was in my account 24 hours later.

That was it. It was easy as that.

LUCIA: It was kind of magic.

JACK: We've been working with business of every type, of every size.

The beauty of Square and Square Capital together is that we're helping to empower a business

that has been underserved by the financial industry.

LUCIA: The process of growing from a closet in a basement to a complex has been really incredible,

and having the Square Capital funding has made a huge difference.

JENN: As soon as I got the funds, I decided to freshen up the truck a little bit.

It's just nice to give her a little spa day.

ANDY: We've taken three loans through Square Capital.

We've tripled our workforce and tripled our fleet size.

COURTNEY: I'm now on my second loan and that has allowed me to expand my brand.

JACKIE: I think what's interesting about Square Capital

is you really can see how we serve an underserved population.

And we make it incredibly easy so that these small businesses can grow.

ANDY: [And we thank you for your business.]

JENN: Fresh Sunshine has really taken on a life of its own.

And, for the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm exactly where I need to be.

ANDY: As a business owner, it fills me with a lot of pride to provide for my family.

LUCIA: This was a dream, and now this is reality.

Courtney Foster Beauty - Duration: 1:14.

COURTNEY: Having my own business has set my soul on fire.

It's made me realize that I can achieve anything that I want to do.

It doesn't matter where you came from.

I am Courtney Foster.

I own Courtney Foster Beauty, which is a one-chair salon studio.

I had my son, Xavier, when I was 19 years old.

I was definitely scared.

I was scared out of my mind.

I needed to work; I needed to take care of my son.

I did try to get a loan the traditional way by going to the bank, but they required so

much of what I didn't have, being a new business.

It just made it really difficult to get that financial help.

That's when I was introduced to Square.

I'm now on my second loan through Square Capital,

and that has allowed me to expand my brand.

XAVIER: I've seen you do whatever you want to do despite whatever's in your way.

You just push through it.

COURTNEY: If I look back at my 19-year-old self, I would tell that girl,

"Just keep going."

"Just keep going, because it'll eventually work out,"

and it did.

DIY EDIBLE School Supplies {Easy}! 5 MINIATURE Edible DIYs! Cool & Weird Crafts! Miniature How To - Duration: 12:23.

hey guys today I'm going to show you five DIY miniature edible school supplies

if you enjoyed this video please click that like button and

comment any future video suggestions you might have and if you'd like to see more

fun DIY videos please click that subscribe button

the first DIY will be miniature edible scissors

for this one you will need a pack of stick gum with an edible marker I drew out each side of a pair of scissors

I just cut each of those out and you'll want to make sure that you're cutting

with a clean pair of scissors as this is edible

I used an exacto knife to cut out the middle you can also use a knife just

make sure whatever you're using is clean

here are both sticks of gum after I cut them out next you'll just want to place

them on top of each other so they look like a pair of scissors

using a toothpick or a wooden skewer poke a hole between both pieces of gum

take a piece from one of the pieces of gum that was cut and roll that out then place that

in the hole that was just created

I'm going to spray my pair of scissors with some silver color mist food

coloring spray and you'll want to put a couple coats on both the front and back side

here are my scissors after both sides were dry

this part is optional on one pair of my scissors I use the edible marker to

color in the top

and that's how you make a pair of edible scissors

and next idea will be a DIY miniature edible eraser

to make the mini edible eraser you will need to print out the printable all the links for the printables will be down below

once it's printed out then laminate both sides with some clear packaging tape

once it's laminated then cut it out leaving a flap on the top

now fold it together and secure with some glue

for the next part I will be using some s'mores marshmallows

take one of the square marshmallows place the eraser printable on top and then cut out the

marshmallow so it fits inside

and that's how you make an edible marshmallow that looks like an eraser

the third project will be miniature edible pencils

to make the mini edible pencils you will need some yellow and pink starburst start by taking one of the yellow starbursts and rolling it into a shape of a mini pencil

now take a pink starburst and make the eraser for your mini pencil

before I put the eraser on I took a piece of parchment paper and left a little bit of

the top of the pencil and wrapped the parchment paper around it then I use the

silver food coloring spray and sprayed the top

here is mine after I had applied a couple coats of the silver food spray

take the pink starburst and put that onto the top of the pencil

now with the black edible marker I colored in the tip of the pencil

how you make a mini edible pencil

the fourth idea will be DIY miniature edible glue

to make the mini edible glue I'm going to use one of these bottles that had eyedrops in it the first thing that I did was I remove the label from the

front and the back

next I thoroughly washed and cleaned out my bottle with some warm soapy water make sure that before you put anything edible in one of

these bottles it is fully cleaned so you don't get sick

once my bottle is clean I place the milk in a cup and suction that into the bottle

here is my bottle once it was full

print out the label cut it down to size and secure it to the bottle with some glue

i took the cap of the bottle and painted the bottom white and the top orange

and that's how you make DIY miniature edible school glue

and the last idea will be DIY miniature edible crayons

for these miniature edible crayons i'm going to use some tootsie rolls

take the tootsie rolls and start cutting them and then rolling them into the shape of mini crayons

if you can't find the tootsie rolls another option is to use taffy

next I printed out the crayon wrappers and I laminated each side with some

clear packaging tape and then cut him down to size

I wrapped the labels around something round to shape them so it was easier to wrap them around the tootsie rolls

next I took each of my miniature crayons and wrap the labels around them

and secure them with some tape

here are all mine once I was done wrapping them then

I printed out the box and laminated each side with some tape and cut it out start folding the box together insecure with some glue

once the box is put together then you can start adding your mini edible crayons

I hope you guys enjoyed all of these DIY miniature edible school supply ideas

[bright music]

narrator: If we told you Fruit of the Loom

made you the perfect V-neck tee,

we'd also have to tell you it stays soft

and durable wash after wash.

Then we'd tell you it has double-needle stitching

on the shoulders so it's even more durable.

And we'd probably add that it's tag-free,

with a neckline that has extra room,

so it's never too close for comfort.

We'd also tell you about the great colors it comes in.

But we have a feeling you're already sold.

And you'll never have to worry about a crew staying tucked in.

That's a job it doesn't take lightly.

And we're so confident you'll love it,

tried to put me in modeling because I have all these weird headshots I have

all these weird like headshots of me okay I guess that was a model o M G so

these were my favorite favorite favorite favorite favorite books growing up I I'm

almost positive it has to do with that my dad's name is Ralph but rotten Ralph

it's about this like little cat creature whose bright red who's like such a bad

cat I guess and he goes around and yeah oh this is my middle school graduation

see even in middle school I still have my

name Lee see back then my name is Hanna Leigh Klein so I guess I had to do some

time before yeah I had to do some time between like middle school in high

school because on my high school got a lot of these but on my high school

diploma it's Chanukah by Harvey so this little

like box thingy I honestly think I stole it from my brother to be really really

honest with you sorry Tim um but I wanted it and I think this so most of

this was my dad so he collected like foreign money um I don't know where any

of this is from this is like look it even says a $7 state of New Hampshire $7

like this is old so last but not least of this whole thing which is what I

finally got to are my teeth and I wanted to share a story about that um I have

right here actually my wisdom teeth I think these are my wisdom teeth this one

says oh no this one is Hannah's teeth 817 1995 oh okay so these are this oh

wow I didn't know I had these so these are the baby teeth that I actually got

pulled out which is tied to my story I'm not sure actually you want to see that

but these are my baby teeth that are linked to my story and then these I

believe are my wisdom teeth yucky these are heavy bro damn look at these teeth

yo these are heavy that's really girls but uh so what is

going to tie this all together and why I think this for last it's not something

like I'm proud of but it was such a huge part of my childhood because I had to

get my four front teeth pulled out and I had to wear this XE wear this so this is

like a little teeth this is like literally a little set of teeth that

like you insert in your mouth as you see my mouth was so tiny that this was

supposed to like go on my molars but I literally had a set of teeth like I had

dentures so I was five years old when I had to get my floor front teeth pulled

out I want to say it was like probably the most embarrassing time of my life

but there was some pictures that I came across last time with my teeth just out

and like I was out doing stuff so I want to say that I wasn't that embarrassed by

it I wish I'm really not sure why I probably looked like a crazy dork but so

glad they came in I think the story behind it is that I drink too much juice

in a bottle and they were either rotting or like going into a curve I'm not sure

I don't remember but I do know that I had to have my four front teeth pulled

out when I was five years old and it was embarrassing and I had to wear dentures

Fresh Sunshine Flowers - Duration: 1:26.

I don't really like to force flowers into these specific shapes and angles.

Every arrangement is bespoke.

I just let flowers speak for themselves.

My name is Jennifer Pratt, and I own Fresh Sunshine,

a mobile flower market in Sandpoint, Idaho.

I am originally from Oklahoma, and I moved up to Sandpoint for a job.

The company went out of business and I was faced with a decision — do I continue in

retail or do I stay in the town that I fell in love with

and try to find a new path for my life?

I had this vision that I would have a mobile flower truck.

I got the loan through Square Capital and I knew it would allow me to

improve a lot of the features that I was already offering to my customers.

I was able to get the initial order placed for more flowers,

and update and freshen up the truck a little bit.

It was just nice to give her a little spa day.

I'm now on my second loan through Square

and it's really allowing me to just continue that momentum.

I love having the truck be a part of the community.

They've really welcomed me

and made me feel like I was a part of what makes Sandpoint so special.

And for the first time in a long time,

I feel like I'm exactly where I need to be in my life.

Bright Gold decorative detailing - Annie Sloan Gilding waxes - Duration: 3:59.

Hello!

Now I stand here with a small mirror that I will give a make-over

I painted it a very long time ago and now I

have a new idea for it

What I will do is to

paint it

completely covering with Annie Sloan's Chalk paint

the color I've chosen for that is Graphite

and then I will do some detail work on it

you'll see!

Now I thought that I should

sizzle it up a bit

and then I have decided to use

Annie Sloan's Gilding wax

and I will apply it with my finger

and this wax is very covering

So one must be careful with how much you put on your finger

I take very, very, very little now

And so...

I put this ...

It was very much anyway ...

But I want to just kind of get this little shimmer

over certain details

So I wipe away ...

And I work it out

And because I use my finger now to apply

this, it's very,

very easy to adjust

where you want it and not.

So easy!!
