 Na nowych zasadach rozliczania leasingu samochodów stracą drobni przedsiębiorcy. Resort finansów kolejny raz wprowadza przepisy, które premiują nabywców luksusowych samochodów

Zmiany podatkowe mogą zahamować szybki wzrost sprzedaży nowych aut w Polsce.  Ministerstwo Finansów w zeszłym tygodniu zapowiedziało wprowadzenie szeregu korzystnych dla przedsiębiorców zmian podatkowych

Jedną z nich ma być podwyższenie z 20 tys. euro do 150 tys. zł limitu wartości samochodu osobowego, do którego odpisy amortyzacyjne są zaliczane do kosztów uzyskania przychodów

 Podwyższenie limitu brzmi w komunikacie MF dobrze, ale przemilczano w nim inne zmiany, które w praktyce sprawią, że leasing samochodu dla wielu przedsiębiorców przestanie być opłacalny

 Wideo: samochód kupiony czy wynajęty? Policzyliśmy, co się bardziej opłaca    Resort Teresy Czerwińskiej chce wprowadzić limit 150 tys

zaliczania rat leasingowych do kosztów podatkowych, a także by wszystkie wydatki na firmowy samochód osobowy mogli wrzucić w koszty tylko ci przedsiębiorcy, którzy prowadzą szczegółową ewidencję przejazdów

Pozostali rozliczą połowę wydatków, jak w przypadku VAT-u.  Związek Przedsiębiorców i Pracodawców uważa, że zaproponowany model jest "skrajnie niesprawiedliwy i szkodliwy dla wszystkich użytkowników rynku"

"Uważamy, że przedstawiona propozycja jest całkowicie absurdalna. Można ją wręcz nazwać sabotowaniem dobrze prosperującej i dynamicznie rozwijającej się branży" - czytamy w komunikacie ZPP

 ZPP wskazuje, że stracą nie tylko leasingobiorcy, którzy nie będą mogli wliczyć w koszty całości rat leasingowych, ale także osoby, które planują zakupić na własność auto o wartości nieprzekraczającej ok

170 tysięcy złotych i wykorzystywać je nie tylko do celów służbowych.  Związek wyjaśnia, że o ile do tej pory, przy zakupie auta za 150 tys

zł, mogli oni zaliczyć w koszty odpisy amortyzacyjne do kwoty ok. 86 tysięcy złotych, o tyle po wprowadzeniu w życie omawianych zmian, będą mogli skorzystać z odpisów tylko do kwoty 75 tysięcy złotych, czyli połowy wartości samochodu

Dzisiaj leasingobiorca może wliczyć w koszty wszystkie raty, a po zmianach będzie ograniczony do 75 tysięcy złotych, czyli suma, którą może wliczyć w koszty, zmniejszy się dwukrotnie

 "Proponowany system w istotny sposób premiuje zakup na własność aut droższych do wartości 300 tysięcy złotych" - podkreśla ZPP

"W ich przypadku, przedsiębiorca kupujący samochód może liczyć na wliczenie w koszty odpisów amortyzacyjnych do kwoty 150 tys

zł, czyli niemal dwukrotnie więcej, niż w tej chwili" - czytamy.  Według ZPP zmiany w rozliczaniu leasingu samochodów mocno uderzą w polską branżę sprzedaży nowych samochodów, która w ciągu czterech ostatnich lat zanotowała 50-procentowy wzrost sprzedaży

Jeszcze w 2013 r. sprzedano 331 tysięcy samochodów osobowych, a w zeszłym roku już 480 tys

Zdecydowaną większość nowych samochodów kupuje się w Polsce na firmę.  Warto zauważyć, że koniunktura na polskim rynku nowych samochodów w ogromnym stopniu zależy od obowiązujących przepisów podatkowych

W okresie absurdalnych przepisów pozwalających na odliczanie pełnego VAT tylko samochodów ciężarowych, niemal każde auto kupione na firmę miało oddzielony stalową kratą bagażnik

Gdy takie odliczenie zaczęło przysługiwać praktycznie tylko w przypadku pickupów, w Polsce rozpoczął się boom na tego typu samochody

 Obecne ożywienie na rynku samochodów i szczególnie dobra sprzedaż drogich samochodów marek premium to także w dużej mierze efekt zmian przepisów

W kwietniu 2014 r. przestały obowiązywać przepisy, według których przedsiębiorca mógł odliczyć tylko 60 proc

kwoty VAT-u od zakupu auta, a suma odliczeń nie mogła przekroczyć 6 tys. zł.  Choć w przypadku samochodów używanych zarówno do celów firmowych, jak i prywatnych, obowiązuje limit 50 proc

odliczeń VAT, w przypadku drogich samochodów i tak chodzi o bardzo duże kwotowe odliczenia VAT

 "Pozostaje tajemnicą, dlaczego Ministerstwo Finansów zdecydowało się zatrzymać tak dynamicznie rosnący segment sprzedaży nowych samochodów

Zyskują na nim bowiem nie tylko przedsiębiorcy, ale również państwo – z uwagi na wpływy z tytułu VAT, akcyzy i innych podatków" - wskazuje ZPP

"Nie istnieją żadne racjonalne argumenty uzasadniające wprowadzenie proponowanych przez Ministerstwo Finansów rozwiązań" - dodaje

 Przypomnijmy, że rząd niedawno zaproponował inne rozwiązanie, które w zdecydowany sposób premiuje zamożnych nabywców samochodów

Chodzi o zawarty w obowiązującej już ustawie o elektromobilności zapis o zwolnieniu z akcyzy samochodów elektrycznych i hybrydowych

Jak pisaliśmy w money.pl, przy zakupie luksusowych samochodów można będzie skorzystać ze zwolnień podatkowych przekraczających 200 tys

zł.  Masz newsa, zdjęcie lub filmik? Prześlij nam przez dziejesie.wp.pl Polub money

John Whitington on HIE - Minnesota e-Health Summit 2018 - Duration: 0:46.

Health information exchange is very

important to the populations that South

Country Health Alliance serves in rural

Minnesota. In these rural communities there are

limited health care resources for our

members, and because of this members

travel far distances to seek the care

they need. Members with multiple

comorbidities seek care from several

providers and multiple care centers. Not

only primary specialty and acute care,

but from the entire continuum of care.

Health information exchange helps us

bridge these gaps in care and makes it

easier for our members to get the care

they need. With health information

exchange we're able to improve

population health through better care

coordination and create better overall

health outcomes and experiences for our

members.

Representative Dave Baker on e-Prescribing - Minnesota e-Health Summit 2018 - Duration: 1:08.

Hi everybody my name is State

Representative Dave Baker and I want to

thank you all for being here today with

a really important issue. I know I'm

working hard here at the Minnesota

Legislature to try to increase the

providers that are using our

e-prescription centers. This year we worked

on a couple of initiatives to get the

ball rolling, to try to provide some

grants for providers, to get some

electronic prescribing vendors to step

up and help them get on board with more

e-prescribing so that we do everything

we can do to get this opioid crisis sort

of under control better. I know

e-prescribing is a big part of that so I

want to encourage everything we can do

with our with our work internally with

the agencies, with our providers to

help get the word out that this is a really

important issue. What's nice is

Minnesota is ranking better than most

other states. We're only at 33% right

now and I think we can do a whole lot

better and I know the initiative with

the e-Prescribing Workgroup which the

members on that committee I want to

thank them very much for that let's get

it to that 80 percent by 2022.

Dr. Sonja Short on Opioids – Minnesota e-Health Summit 2018 - Duration: 1:25.

My name is Sonja Short. I am a primary care physician and informaticist and member of

the e-health committee and opioid and e-health workgroup. I had an experience last summer

that drove home the importance of this work. My clinic got a call from a pharmacy asking

to confirm an opiate prescription for a patient that they were suspicious about. Upon review

of our EHR, it was not a prescription I had generated. My system is not yet live on electronic

prescribing of controlled substances and I had refilled a controlled substance prescription

for this patient of my partner�s a few months ago and she had apparently modified it and

copied it to obtain large quantities of narcotics. I logged on to the PMP to investigate and

discovered that this person had filled that prescription over ten times totaling more

than 1000 tablets of oxycodone 10mg in the past few weeks. The pharmacists had apparently

not checked the PMP before filling it. I got to deal with police officers, calling local

pharmacies to ask them not to fill prescriptions for this person from me and eventually changing

my DEA number (which still didn�t help as pharmacies apparently just looked at old printed

sheets rather than looking up new numbers). E-prescribing of controlled substances would

have prevented a patient from being able to modify a paper prescription and regular checking

of the PMP would have stopped her from being able to fill it repeatedly. Please work with

your organizations to implement our recommendations.

Meyrick Vaz on e-Health 2030 - Minnesota e-Health Summit 2018 - Duration: 1:41.

The Minnesota 2030 Project was initiated

to understand the future state of

demographics and healthcare in Minnesota

in the year 2030; to understand the

related challenges, opportunities, and

uncertainties; and to make

recommendations to the e-Health

Initiative as to how to adapt to meet

these challenges and opportunities. The

project team led by MDH and OHIT's

staff reviewed multiple reports and

research by state and federal

organizations, community organizations,

leaders in healthcare, and futurists. They

also sought community input via

multiple forums to understand the

problems faced by these communities and

solutions that might work within these

communities. The information gathered was

synthesized into several themes and

trends that are going to be relevant to

Minnesota in 2030. The project team also

documented nine high-priority highly

likely use cases to create

person-centered stories that can be used

for further analysis and stakeholder

communication. The team also created

specific recommendations for the e-Health

Initiative such as a refined mission and

vision, principles for operations, and

principles for decision making. An action

plan is now underway to adopt these

recommendations over the next few months

so that Minnesota e-Health is ready to

support the state of Minnesota in the

year 2030 and beyond.

Leasing samochodów przestanie się opłacać. Drobni przedsiębiorcy stracą najwięcej na propozycji MF - Duration: 8:21.

 Na nowych zasadach rozliczania leasingu samochodów stracą drobni przedsiębiorcy. Resort finansów kolejny raz wprowadza przepisy, które premiują nabywców luksusowych samochodów

Zmiany podatkowe mogą zahamować szybki wzrost sprzedaży nowych aut w Polsce.  Ministerstwo Finansów w zeszłym tygodniu zapowiedziało wprowadzenie szeregu korzystnych dla przedsiębiorców zmian podatkowych

Jedną z nich ma być podwyższenie z 20 tys. euro do 150 tys. zł limitu wartości samochodu osobowego, do którego odpisy amortyzacyjne są zaliczane do kosztów uzyskania przychodów

 Podwyższenie limitu brzmi w komunikacie MF dobrze, ale przemilczano w nim inne zmiany, które w praktyce sprawią, że leasing samochodu dla wielu przedsiębiorców przestanie być opłacalny

 Wideo: samochód kupiony czy wynajęty? Policzyliśmy, co się bardziej opłaca    Resort Teresy Czerwińskiej chce wprowadzić limit 150 tys

zaliczania rat leasingowych do kosztów podatkowych, a także by wszystkie wydatki na firmowy samochód osobowy mogli wrzucić w koszty tylko ci przedsiębiorcy, którzy prowadzą szczegółową ewidencję przejazdów

Pozostali rozliczą połowę wydatków, jak w przypadku VAT-u.  Związek Przedsiębiorców i Pracodawców uważa, że zaproponowany model jest "skrajnie niesprawiedliwy i szkodliwy dla wszystkich użytkowników rynku"

"Uważamy, że przedstawiona propozycja jest całkowicie absurdalna. Można ją wręcz nazwać sabotowaniem dobrze prosperującej i dynamicznie rozwijającej się branży" - czytamy w komunikacie ZPP

 ZPP wskazuje, że stracą nie tylko leasingobiorcy, którzy nie będą mogli wliczyć w koszty całości rat leasingowych, ale także osoby, które planują zakupić na własność auto o wartości nieprzekraczającej ok

170 tysięcy złotych i wykorzystywać je nie tylko do celów służbowych.  Związek wyjaśnia, że o ile do tej pory, przy zakupie auta za 150 tys

zł, mogli oni zaliczyć w koszty odpisy amortyzacyjne do kwoty ok. 86 tysięcy złotych, o tyle po wprowadzeniu w życie omawianych zmian, będą mogli skorzystać z odpisów tylko do kwoty 75 tysięcy złotych, czyli połowy wartości samochodu

Dzisiaj leasingobiorca może wliczyć w koszty wszystkie raty, a po zmianach będzie ograniczony do 75 tysięcy złotych, czyli suma, którą może wliczyć w koszty, zmniejszy się dwukrotnie

 "Proponowany system w istotny sposób premiuje zakup na własność aut droższych do wartości 300 tysięcy złotych" - podkreśla ZPP

"W ich przypadku, przedsiębiorca kupujący samochód może liczyć na wliczenie w koszty odpisów amortyzacyjnych do kwoty 150 tys

zł, czyli niemal dwukrotnie więcej, niż w tej chwili" - czytamy.  Według ZPP zmiany w rozliczaniu leasingu samochodów mocno uderzą w polską branżę sprzedaży nowych samochodów, która w ciągu czterech ostatnich lat zanotowała 50-procentowy wzrost sprzedaży

Jeszcze w 2013 r. sprzedano 331 tysięcy samochodów osobowych, a w zeszłym roku już 480 tys

Zdecydowaną większość nowych samochodów kupuje się w Polsce na firmę.  Warto zauważyć, że koniunktura na polskim rynku nowych samochodów w ogromnym stopniu zależy od obowiązujących przepisów podatkowych

W okresie absurdalnych przepisów pozwalających na odliczanie pełnego VAT tylko samochodów ciężarowych, niemal każde auto kupione na firmę miało oddzielony stalową kratą bagażnik

Gdy takie odliczenie zaczęło przysługiwać praktycznie tylko w przypadku pickupów, w Polsce rozpoczął się boom na tego typu samochody

 Obecne ożywienie na rynku samochodów i szczególnie dobra sprzedaż drogich samochodów marek premium to także w dużej mierze efekt zmian przepisów

W kwietniu 2014 r. przestały obowiązywać przepisy, według których przedsiębiorca mógł odliczyć tylko 60 proc

kwoty VAT-u od zakupu auta, a suma odliczeń nie mogła przekroczyć 6 tys. zł.  Choć w przypadku samochodów używanych zarówno do celów firmowych, jak i prywatnych, obowiązuje limit 50 proc

odliczeń VAT, w przypadku drogich samochodów i tak chodzi o bardzo duże kwotowe odliczenia VAT

 "Pozostaje tajemnicą, dlaczego Ministerstwo Finansów zdecydowało się zatrzymać tak dynamicznie rosnący segment sprzedaży nowych samochodów

Zyskują na nim bowiem nie tylko przedsiębiorcy, ale również państwo – z uwagi na wpływy z tytułu VAT, akcyzy i innych podatków" - wskazuje ZPP

"Nie istnieją żadne racjonalne argumenty uzasadniające wprowadzenie proponowanych przez Ministerstwo Finansów rozwiązań" - dodaje

 Przypomnijmy, że rząd niedawno zaproponował inne rozwiązanie, które w zdecydowany sposób premiuje zamożnych nabywców samochodów

"I don't want to die." | 5 Life Lessons From the Abyss - Duration: 6:01.

"Hello!? Are you okay?!" she asked as I laid there in a puddle of my own sweat. I opened

my eyes and asked, "What happened?"​ She said she didn't know but asked if she should

call the hospital. I nodded. She then asked if I was able to move... so I lifted my arms

an inch before they slammed back down on the table, "Yes, but I have no energy." The thought

of what this could all mean started to frighten me. I said, "I don't want to die."​ ​She

didn't hear me because of the commotion in the cafe and because there was a bit of a

language barrier because I live here in Vietnam.​ ​The medics arrived quickly with a stretcher.

They checked my blood pressure, glucose level, and heart rate - all seemed normal, which

worried me even more. I then got lifted out of there like Maximus at the end of Gladiator.

Let's fast forward a few days and I'm sitting across from the neurologist. I had spent those

days in bed with a numb tongue and an aching back pondering the worst case scenarios…

epilepsy, cancer, heart disease, Parkinson's? I didn't understand how someone so young and

healthy can go through such an ordeal unless there was a deep underlying medical issue.

The neurologist asked me to recall the events that led to the seizure…

"It was a typical day. I had just finished my coffee and cocaine… kidding, coffee and

cake. As I was getting ready to leave I felt my heart flutter. This has been happening

on and off for the past several months. I decided to do a google search into what might

be causing this. The prognosis varied from nothing to imminent death. I'm an optimist

so I told myself it's probably nothing, but then I started to feel dizzy then nauseous.

I told myself, "Don't throw up.", "Don't throw up". I leaned back in my seat to take a deep

breath. I then saw flashes of lights and images and then every thing went black. I awoke in

a puddle of sweat." He recommended an E.E.G. (tests epilepsy). I took the test and sat

back down with the doctor. He said the results came back… normal. Thank god. He asked me

if I've ever lost consciousness before? I said 3 times. Once when I was robbed and knocked

unconscious with a pipe. And twice before that while giving blood. He said that I likely

fainted and then explained if one is out for too long one will go into a seizure, which

was the difference between this time and the other times I fainted. I wanted to kiss the

doctor because it was the first time in days where I didn't think I was dying. With any

major life event, I think it could be helpful to reflect upon the lessons learned so that

the event would not have passed in vain. These were costly lessons for me because I don't

have health insurance, but I give them to you free of cost and without the associated

back pain… My first lesson is that we should prepare to die. One of my regrets while lying

motionless on the stretcher was that I still had so much more I wanted to accomplish. At

this point in my life I feel like I'm in debt. I'm in debt to my friends, family, and society.

I want to pay back that debt with interest before I die because "For whom much is given

much is required." And if finances permit, I'd like to be frozen so that my last words

can be something badass like, "I'll be back!" Non-Conscious Being. The loss of consciousness

is an interesting concept to ponder. Isn't it our "consciousness" that makes us human?

I ponder if losing consciousness is similar to death? Flashes of light and images. Everything

goes black. Time no longer exists. I re-awake without knowing whether seconds or hours passed.

In that brief interval "I" no longer existed. My experience was similar to a guy who was

actually pronounced dead: "Asked about what he felt the moment he died, the Reddit interviewee

revealed that it was like as if someone had flipped the on/off switch… everything around

him went to black." Obviously I wasn't dead, but it doesn't seem farfetched for my experience

to be similar to it. The abyss wasn't painful, but with that said, my first impulse upon

reawakening was to say, "I don't want to die." Hey God, it's me… Anthony. I am an agnostic

who would like to think there's a god, especially during low moments. I find the lower we go

the higher we look for strength and support. As I went into the MRI machine I was asking

god for my brain to be okay and I promised I'll try harder to not to take his creations

for-granted. Thoughts are more powerful than you thought. I read that some people are able

to make themselves faint. I feel like now that I've experienced it so many times I can

probably do so too {call me Hollywood} by tunneling my thoughts on a stressor, which

makes me ponder if we have the power to lose consciousness then maybe we have the power

to maximize it? Embrace the black. Upon returning from the abyss I've had a greater appreciation

for the beauty and richness of life. We are all so inundated with notifications, advertisements,

emergencies that corrode the enjoyment of simple pleasures. Meditation seems the closest

thing to nothing. Imagine meditating for a full day in a dark room. The next day you

step outside you'll have a greater appreciation for the light. When we start to feel like

we're losing appreciation for simple pleasures then consider going into a metaphorical or

actual hole. With these lessons I hope we can appreciate the light a little more for

as long as we got it.

Behold! My Motor Scooter Bike Rack - Duration: 5:08.

Josh here with daily mountain bike rider and to say I love mountain biking is a huge understatement.

I moved to Bellingham Washington about 3 years ago and got bit pretty bad by the mountain

bike bug.

I got a feel for the sport and then I felt that bug start attacking my wallet.

Some of you may not realize, mountain biking is pretty stinking expensive.

It starts with just buying a bike and of course a helmet to get out there and ride.

And then after that you get roped in with upgrades like tires, suspension, and frame

protectant.

Then you have to get shoes, clothes and padding.

And of course, after you get really into the sport you have to buy a second bike for a

different discipline you're in.

And the list goes on and on and on.

And it doesn't actually stop there.

Because then you have to find a way to actually get your bike to the trailhead.

That means getting a vehicle, and if it's not a truck you need to buy a bike rack and

usually a trailer hitch receiver for the bike rack to go on to your car.

I got to the point where I had to stop the money madness somewhere.

And that's when it came to me, I wondered if there was a cheaper, better, more fuel-efficient,

and fun way to get me and my bike to the trails.

And that's where this video comes into play.

Introducing my 2004 49cc Yamaha Zuma Scooter.

This thing gets over 100 miles per gallon, can be parked almost anywhere, looks cooler

than a winter in North Dakotan winter, and tops out at 43 MPH if you go downhill with

a tail wind.

Now there's only one problem with my scooter I need to figure out a way to get me and my

bike, on this, and get to the trail with some amount of safety.

Challenge accepted

I started by buying a cheap roof rack off Amazon for $35, and then took a trip to Lowes

to get a 2x6, hardware, some straps, black spray paint, and of course some safety glasses.

Because, well safety.

I bought everything at Lowes for about $25 – bringing the total cost to $60.

Now I just had to figure out a way to mount the rack to the board and mount the board

to the scooter.

All while making sure my expensive bikes don't fall off the back – you know, the little

things.

After some drawing, cutting, drilling, and continually improper use of multiple tools

I think I found what I was looking for.

And I could not be more excited to show you.

Introducing for the first time ever, the ultimate bike transporting device.

Rudy Giuliani Says Agents Investigating Trump Are "Wackadoodles" Who Belong In Mental Hospitals - Duration: 3:28.

Over the weekend, Rudy Giuliani appeared at a campaign event for Republican Congressional

candidate Dan Donovan up in New York.

And during his little stump speech for Donovan, he kind of went off the rails a little bit,

and decided to talk about the recently released Inspector General's report, and things very

quickly went off the rails from there.

Take a look.

Well, what they've been doing to them is heartless, it's cruel.

Horrific.

It's an investigation made up of a bunch of distorted human beings who cried ... Imagine

FBI agents and prosecutors crying when Hillary Clinton wasn't elected.

I think if I could get those pictures of them crying instead of investigating President

Trump, they should go to Bellevue.

Yes!

Whackadoodles!

[inaudible 00:00:53] What's going to happen?

I think "Whackadoodle" is actually the correct term, but I don't think it applies to any

of the agents that were listed in that Inspector General report.

"Whackadoodle," though, is a perfect descriptor for Rudy Giuliani himself.

This is a guy who cannot go out and give an interview as Donald Trump's lawyer without

implicating him in further criminal activity.

This is a guy who, when he was running for president, Joe Biden described it best as

his senses were composed of a noun, a verb, and the phrase "nine-eleven."

Rudy Giuliani is a one-trick pony who can only talk about nine-eleven because that was

the only time in his life he ever did something that was halfway decent.

If you look at the rest of his political career, if you look at his career as a private attorney,

or consultant, or whatever the hell he wanted to call himself during those years, he was

nothing but an absolute and complete scumbag.

And here he is slandering those people listed in the Inspector General's report, making

stuff up, baiting that little crowd to where you can hear in the video them chanting "Lock

'em up," as if members of the Trump administration and Trump campaign weren't the ones being

locked up right now.

But still, they believe somehow [Peter Struck 00:02:22], [Lisa Page 00:02:23], and any of

the other ones listed in there committed some kind of crime against the United States.

What Giuliani should've actually also mentioned during his little speech there was the fact

that buried in that IG report is the fact that there were Giuliani allies working at

the FBI offices at New York that were so anti-Hillary that they were the ones that made the whole

Anthony Wiener laptop thing resurface and essentially force James Comey to come out

a few days before the election and make that announcement.

Giuliani and his little lackeys are the ones that are the "Whackadoodles," the ones that

couldn't stand losing, the ones that were politically motivated and actually helped

change the course of the presidential election.

But, yeah, go out there!

Say that these people belong in psych wards.

Say that they're "whackadoodles," because most people in this country understand that

those are things that apply to you more than they do these FBI agents.

Cliffhangers That Sequels Totally Ignored - Duration: 5:52.

Standalone movies are so 1980s.

These days, it's rare for a movie to end without laying the groundwork for some sort of sequel

or franchise.

Unfortunately, a lot can change between movies.

Directors leave projects and long-term priorities change, all of which can leave compelling

cliffhangers to dangle in the wind.

From replacement spies vanishing between movies to abandoned apocalyptic endings, here are

a few cliffhangers that movie sequels ignored.

Aw, rats

The original Species, released in 1995, follows a group of scientists trying to stop an alien-human

hybrid intent on breeding with humanity.

While the scientists are able to ultimately destroy the hybrid, the movie ends on a rat

that's exhibiting some strange behavior after eating the corpse.

Instead of following up on that plot thread, Species II just doubles down on the creepy,

erotic themes of the first movie, portraying scientists trying to stop a brand new, mating-obsessed

alien-human hybrid.

That hungry rat, and the implication that the genetic mutation can be introduced through

food rather than intercourse, is totally ignored.

We'll never know what we missed.

"Oh!

He's making a pizza!"

That's just corny

What Children of the Corn started as a simple Stephen King short story about a group of

kids in a midwestern town worshipping a demonic entity, it's since spun into a massive franchise

with nearly ten movies and counting.

Obviously, that required a bit of an escalation from the original premise, which is what happens

in Children of the Corn III: Urban Harvest, when two children of the corn are adopted

into foster care in Chicago.

They bring corn.

"That's nice lookin corn."

Through a series of violent events, one of the children is able to summon the demonic

corn monster to Chicago while also distributing mind-controlling corn all over the world.

An entire world of mind-controlled children isn't a bad hook to hang a horror film on.

Unfortunately, Children of the Corn 4: The Gathering would return the series to its roots,

as it were, by taking things back to the midwest, ignoring the worldwide implications of the

previous film.

There was only one appropriate reaction to the unrelated sequel.

"Get that corn outta my face!"

A missed call

Like Children of the Corn, The Lawnmower Man is so far removed from the original story

about a murderous, naked lawnmower man that King successfully sued to remove his name

from the finished movie.

The film follows Jobe, a greenskeeper who becomes a vengeful, cyberspace god through

a series of science experiments.

Halfway through the film, Jobe promises to prove his god-like power by making every phone

in the world ring simultaneously once he's achieved unlimited cybernetic control.

An omnipotent, technology-controlling despot seems like a great place to start a sequel,

but The Lawnmower Man 2: Beyond Cyberspace features a largely new group of characters

in a cyberpunk Los Angeles.

Jobe makes his return as an antagonist, but using a different actor.

His triumph in the first film is ignored in favor of a retcon that left him crippled by

the climactic explosion in the first Lawnmower Man.

Bourne again

As one might guess given its title, the Bourne franchise is focused on the adventures of

amnesiac assassin Jason Bourne.

The formula worked so well that even when Matt Damon took a hiatus from the series,

it moved on without him for 2012's The Bourne Legacy.

Following Jeremy Renner as Bourne's fellow spy Aaron Cross, the film tried to capitalize

on the world-building of prior films with a character similar to Jason Bourne and a

familiar story.

Unfortunately for them, the movie premiered to mixed reviews and an ambivalent audience.

The filmmakers heard that message loud and clear when they completely ignored the ending

of The Bourne Legacy, which featured Cross wounded after a shootout and a close escape

on a boat.

The next sequel, Jason Bourne, forgets about any boat-related cliffhangers, putting the

focus squarely back on Damon's character.

Dino dos and don'ts

It's fitting for a movie franchise about giant prehistoric dinosaurs that each movie in the

Jurassic Park series tends to get bigger.

Even once a balance seems to reached by Jurassic Park 3 with the escaped dinosaurs settling

on an island, the film ends with Pteranodons seeking out new nesting grounds.

It's like Dr. Ian Malcolm always says:

"Life, uh, finds a way."

Unfortunately, the ending went too big.

As cool as it would be to see dinosaurs out in the world, 2012's Jurassic World decided

to skip the whole "dinosaurs terrorizing the mainland" thing, and the fourth film just

returned to the original, fully-functional Jurassic Park, instead of going bigger, giving

us very little reason to, well,

"Hold onto your butts."

Loss Leader

While it's been somewhat forgotten, 2008's The Incredible Hulk is still an important

building block for modern-day Marvel films.

While Ed Norton's version of Bruce Banner wouldn't make the jump to later films, William

Hurt's "Thunderbolt" Ross would later return to the MCU for Captain America: Civil War.

Further connecting the movie to the larger MCU is the ending sequence that features Robert

Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark dropping some foreshadowing for the Avengers.

"What if I told you we were putting a team together?"

"Who's we?"

Despite all that, there's still at least one cliffhanger that has never been resolved:

Samuel Sterns' irradiated transformation into his big-headed comic book counterpart, the

Leader.

"I am the most advanced mind the world has ever seen!"

The supervillain is one of the Hulk's most famous foes, so it makes sense that the filmmakers

would want to tease his possible appearance in the sequel.

Since his first appearance, a slew of different Marvel movies have come out, and Hulk's nemesis

hasn't re-appeared on the big screen.

Why?

Because Black Widow capped him off-screen, in Marvel's official Avengers tie-in comics.

To this day, he's just hanging out in a prison somewhere, completely forgotten by the Marvel

Universe.

What a way to go.

"How dare you!"

Top 10 Super Powers You Didn't Know Jack-Jack Parr Had - Duration: 5:01.

Welcome back nerd squad, my name is Roya Destroyaa and this is Top 10 Nerd.

Now that the Incredibles 2 is out, we got a closer look at the familyÕs youngest and,

previously, unpowered member.

Not so much anymore apparently!

Jack Jack has finally come into his own with a whole host of powers that none of his family

even have.

I mean it really makes you wonder who his parents actually are, but thatÕs none of

my business!!

So letÕs take a look at the top 10 jack parr superpowers.

In the number 10 spot, we have SIZE MANIPULATION.

Jack Jack has the ability to manipulate his mass and grow or shrink at a whim, similar

to what Antman can do.

He can shrink in size to slip through the hands of babysitters and kidnappers alike.

And he can grow to monstrous proportions to barge through whatever obstacle is in his

way.

Nothing quite as cute as a giant chubby baby smashing through your house.

Next, at number 9, is MOLECULAR VIBRATION.

This is quite a strange but I guess potentially convenient power, one that you donÕt see

too often so thatÕs kind of nice!

Jack Jack has the ability to vibrate his individual molecules at extremely fast rates.

This super shaking can help him dislodge from enemies who may have grabbed hold of him.

This potentially foretells of abilities similar to Dash, and maybe even greater.

Coming in at number 8, WE HAVE LASER EYES.

Jack Jack channels his inner Cyclops of the Xmen with a good old laser beam ability that

he can project from his eyes.

The laser takes on a needle-thin green shape, able to cut and burn those unlucky enough

to get in the way.

They can be reflected by a mirror, however; which is probably good luck for his future

babysitters and the rest of his family.

Maybe he can mow the lawn nice and even this way though, with a little bit of training

of course.

In the number 7 spot, IS LEVITATION.

This was one of Jack JackÕs earliest powers to show up in the film.

It was his levitation that first tipped off his babysitter Kari that he may not be the

most normal parr after all.

HeÕs demonstrated the ability to manipulate gravitational fields, but we arenÕt quite

certain yet whether this levitation is a form of flight or a form of telekinesis.

Knowing what weÕve seen already from the kid, I donÕt put it past him to have some

telekinetic abilities.

Up at number 6, WE HAVE TELEPORTATION.

The number one reason why he would just be so damn hard to watch; one-minute heÕs chilling

in his stroller, the next heÕs teleported himself out to the road and splat.

Jack Jack has demonstrated his teleportation ability several times, though the extent at

exactly how far he can teleport still remains to be seenÑsomething we can only find out

in another 15 years if they decide to do the Incredibles 3 with a proportionate time lapse.

Coming in at number 5, IS WALL CLIMBING.

Spiderman eats your heart out, youÕre not the only red-clad superhero to scale walls

with such skill anymore.

Jack Jack is able to climb up and cling to walls and then hang off ceilings, so this

may have to do more with his gravitational field manipulation and reversal abilities,

the same reason he is able to teleport, hang off the ceiling, and pour his milk down all

at the same time.

Next up, number 4 IS INTANGIBILITY.

Along with his teleportation, Jack Jack also seems to possess the ability to cross dimensional

barriers.

This is demonstrated in one scene where he seems to simply poof, but his voice is still

heardÑa scene very reminiscent of the movie Poltergeist, where a young child is pulled

into another dimension but is still audible.

The same man to play Bob Parr, Craig T Nelson, also plays the dad of that child from Poltergeist,

so this scene is no coincidence.

Up next at number 3, WE GOT BULLETPROOF STEEL.

Jack Jack is able to convert his body to a metallic form, similar to what weÕve seen

from Colossus in Deadpool, and this serves a few purposes.

For one, he is completely bulletproof and cannot be harmed.

For another, he is extremely heavy.

So when heÕs nabbed by a baddie, all heÕs gotta do is shiftÑnot only will his kidnapper

be unable to carry him, but Jack Jack wonÕt be harmed by the drop at all.

In the number 2 spot, IS PHASING.

You might be familiar with this superpower from another of the X-Men, Kitty Pryde.

Jack Jack has now acquired the ability to phase through solid objects.

This means he can float through walls or floors or whatever he elseÑagain, this might tie

into his teleportation abilities, but because heÕs demonstrated it a little differently

we included it here as well.

He can also get through force fields.

And whenever he phases he creates a bit of an electrical disturbance, what with the shifting

of molecules and all.

Science.

And finally, in the number 1 spot, WE HAVE SHAPESHIFTING.

Of course, Jack JackÕs top ability is his power to straight up change his form.

We have seen him take on a devilish appearance to pack on the muscle.

He's been known to copy the features of people heÕs met.

He can turn his body into a ball of flame.

He can create clones of himself, which isnÕt exactly shapeshifting but worthy of mention.

We are sure with enough time to hone his school he will be able to shift into many other forms.

Jack Jack solo film, please!

So those were the top 10 jack-jack parr superpowers.

Let me know in the comment section down below which of these powers you think worked best

for him!

My name is Roya Destroyaa, thanks for watching, and donÕt forget to subscribe so you never

miss another nerdy list!

The Biggest Lies They Ever Taught You In Science Class - Duration: 8:43.

It's the ultimate insult.

You've spent years studying, memorizing, and taking tests to prove that you understand

some of the world's most fundamental workings.

You've missed television shows, nights out with your friends, and binge-gaming sessions

— and for what?

For a whole lot of "facts" that weren't even remotely true, that's what.

Yup, you heard it here first: A lot of that stuff you were studying was just plain fake

news.

These are some of the biggest lies you've learned in school.

"Science is a liar sometimes!"

"Oh boy."

A girl's best FRAUD

The world is full of incredibly awesome natural phenomena.

Unfortunately, the shiniest of these phenomena you learned about as a child does not exist.

Diamonds, as the story goes, are made from coal that's been subjected to a huge amount

of pressure.

Superman says so, so it must be true, right?

Let's ask Dr. Kat Arney of The Naked Scientists.

According to her, geological studies have shown natural diamonds were actually created

about a billion years ago by factors like temperatures in the thousands of degrees and

the kind of pressure you'd feel if you had around 100 miles of earth and rock on top

of you.

Those forces acted on carbon-rich minerals to form diamonds, and diamonds can also be

formed by high-impact strikes caused by meteorites either hitting the Earth or hitting each other

in space.

What definitely wasn't involved?

Coal.

We know coal has nothing to do with diamonds because coal only started forming about 300

to 400 million years ago, long after the Earth started making diamonds.

In order to get coal, you need plants, and plants didn't happen until about 450 million

years ago.

That makes diamonds even cooler.

It makes your teacher less cool.

Survival of the FIB-est

When you learned about evolution, chances are your teachers talked about how natural

selection and survival of the fittest shaped the world today.

If you were the type of student who pointed out something was off because humans still

have some major design flaws — like not being able to see in the dark while the lions

that wanted to eat our ancestors clearly could — well, your teachers probably told you

to shut the heck up.

"SHUUUUT UUUUUPPP."

"Shut up!

Shut up!"

That's because they were teaching it wrong.

According to Princeton biological anthropologist Alan Mann, survival of the fittest isn't based

on how tough or smart a creature is.

The important thing is how likely they are to reproduce.

Mann says you can look at it this way: "Evolution acts to produce function, not perfection."

That's why we still can't see in the dark, why we still pass on deadly genetic diseases,

and why we haven't grown awesome prehensile tails like those Saiyan guys from Dragon Ball

Z.

UC Berkeley researchers took on ideas about natural selection, and your teacher was wrong

there, too.

Natural selection isn't about organisms trying to adapt, it's about random genetic mutations

that happened to increase odds of reproduction.

They also say that "survival of the fit enough" is a better way to think of the process.

There you have it — you're not here because your ancestors were the best, but because

they were "eh, sure — good enough."

Taste of deceit

Remember back in middle school, when you were taught your taste buds were arranged in groups

and you tasted different things — bitter, salty, sweet, and sour — in different areas

of the tongue?

If you were the kid who put a salty pretzel on the tip of your tongue and wondered why

you could still taste saltiness, you were right to be skeptical.

The tongue map dates back to 1901, and according to LiveScience, it was the work of a German

scientist named D.P.

Hanig.

He was measuring how sensitive certain areas of the tongue were to certain tastes, and

later that turned into the idea that different parts of the tongue only taste certain things.

We even know who screwed things up — a Harvard psychology historian with the epic name of

Edwin Boring.

He transcribed Hanig's data in 1942 but didn't label his graph correctly.

It's wrong for another reason, too, because we also have the ability to taste something

called umami.

That's not even on the standard tongue map.

It's almost as if the tongue is an extremely complex and sensitive object that can't be

easily reduced to pithy half-truths.

"UHHHHHGGGGG.

That is tart.

That is really tart."

External stimu-LIE

Quick, name your senses.

Taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight, right?

It's so well-known that M. Night Shyamalan wrote about The Sixth Sense like it was something

epic and unheard of, but grown-up science says we keep teaching the five sense thing

because kids' underdeveloped brains can't understand what their senses really are.

According to psychologists at the University of Glasgow, it was actually Aristotle who

came up with the idea of five senses, and while we're not actually sure what the right

answer is, it sure isn't five.

The problem comes in defining just what a "sense" is.

One answer is that we only have three senses that correspond to the kind of stimuli our

bodies can interpret — chemical, light, mechanical.

Another possibility is that we have a whopping nine senses, adding mechanoreception — which

includes things like balance and muscle stretch — pain, temperature, and interoreceptors.

That's just a fancy way of saying "when you know you've got to take a leak, when you're

thirsty, and when your stomach's had enough and it's time to stop shoving food in your

head."

Break those nine out into their components, and you can legitimately argue for 21 or 33

senses.

Whatever the answer is, it's definitely not five.

"Liiiiies."

Roy G. FIB

Whenever most people draw a rainbow, they'll go with seven standard colors: red, orange,

yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.

But QI suggests picking seven colors is just the Western world continuing its obsession

with seven: days of the week, musical scales, and all that jazz.

It was Isaac Newton who decided on seven colors when he was observing rainbows.

He added orange and indigo to the previous five.

If you go back farther, you'll find Greek philosophers said there were three — red,

yellow-green, and purple.

Homer, for some reason, insisted there was only one color in a rainbow: purple.

"What if it was purple?"

Not so clear now, is it?

The answer is even worse: there's no "real" number to find.

The rainbow's shading from one color to the next means there's no definite, solid way

to separate one from another.

ScienceBlogs worked out the math, using wavelengths to estimate that there are around a million

different colors you're actually seeing when you look at a rainbow.

And purple is one of them.

Exciting, right?

Stretching the truth

Black holes are one of the most mysterious, confusing phenomenons in the universe, so

it goes without saying there's a lot we don't know about them.

First, let's take a look at the idea they're funnel-shaped.

You probably saw that drawing in your textbooks, but it's totally wrong.

Kind of.

According to Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy, they're actually spherical.

That funnel shape you see drawn all the time is actually an attempt to depict the four-dimensional

phenomenon of bending gravity in the two dimensions on your piece of paper.

Now, the crushing thing.

Were you taught that anything passing a black hole's event horizon is sucked in and crushed

under its insane gravity?

It's the opposite: things get stretched out.

Black holes are huge, and their size means there's a massive difference in gravitational

pull even across relatively short spaces — say, for example, your 6-foot self.

It's such a drastic change that if you're swimming toward a black hole, your head is

going to feel hundreds of millions of times more gravity than your feet, and that's going

to stretch you — not crush you — in a process called …

"Spaghettification."

... No wonder your teachers lied.

Neuro-LIE-gical

This idea is so prevalent even among adults that entire movies are based on the premise

that using more than 10 percent of your brain will turn you into some sort of superpowered

demigod — or a flash drive.

The scientific community has a name for those movies — they're called "stupid movies."

And, yes, people still believe their pseudo science.

"What the hell is wrong with you people?"

Scientific American has debunked this entire myth and has possibly even found the source

of the idea, if not for the incredibly specific number of 10 percent — it's a 1907 text

called The Energies of Men.

But this idea is just not true.

Now, we know that although our brains make up a relatively small percentage of our meat-sacks,

it uses about 20 percent of the energy we burn.

Researchers have used imaging technology to get a peek at which parts of the brain govern

which functions, and we do use all of it for both conscious and unconscious activities.

We even use it when we're sleeping.

Mayo Clinic neurologist John Henley erases any doubt:

"Evidence would show over a day you use 100 percent of the brain."

Sorry, folks.

You've already got all the brainpower you're going to get.

"Bummer.

This is a bummer, man.

That's a bummer."

Job interviews, dates, meeting with potential friends, people have to decide

whether to invest their time and energy in you or not

which is why it can be incredibly helpful to study sales

not just for those occasions where to actually have a product to sell

but for all the other times when the product is actually you.

And that's why in this video, we are looking at Alpha M.

who is probably the single best salesman that I have seen on YouTube.

And apparently, his numbers bear that out.

I have a 99% conversion rate when they go directly to—

-Very high. -I don't believe it

It's unheard of.

I know my numbers are unheard of.

Whereas other channels struggle to integrate sponsors in a way that

doesn't get pushed back and hate from their audience,

Aaron has a promotion in almost all of his videos

and his audience seems to love it, they meme about it and they buy in droves.

So today, we are going to look at what you can learn from Alpha about selling especially

when you're selling yourself as we so often have to like in a date or an interview scenario.

And keep in mind this is not the only way to effectively sell;

it's just some of the things that Aaron does really effectively.

The first step in almost all selling is building rapport and Aaron does this excellently.

For instance, he often starts his videos off with a compliment to his audience.

Gentlemen, great to see you. You're looking fantastic — manly, even.

Hm-hm. After this video though, look out world, you are gonna look a little more manly.

Other times, he tells a joke.

Gentlemen, unfortunately for me, today's video is probably going to get demonetized

because we're talking about guns!

And other times, he tells a relatable story.

For instance, many guys, the type who have probably watched his channel

have frequented a coffee shop and had sort of a mini-crush on the barista

which is why he tells the story like this —

What's up, gentlemen? It's a funny story.

So there is this barista that I see all the time at Starbucks and she's cute...

Compliments, jokes, and relatable stories highlight two

of the main pieces of rapport building which is, first, a feeling of I-like-you

and also a feeling of I-am-like-you.

Feeling that similarity is why you feel a strange connection when you're out of state

and you meet someone from your hometown or when you meet someone who just happens to share your birthday.

It's also why well-told stories are so powerful; they make us feel similar to others.

Now, a ton of our channels videos are about how to make people like you

and how to highlight the ways in which you guys are actually connected.

And rather than dive deep into it here for rapport-building, I'm just gonna link to a playlist.

If you want to learn more about rapport-building, storytelling, and likeability,

check that out because that's where I've done the deepest work on that.

The point is when you like someone and you feel like you are like them,

you are in rapport — which takes us to the second point.

Now that his audience feels rapport with Aaron, they are open to his recommendations.

But Aaron doesn't simply talk about the product like most people in sales do.

He talks about the results that the product will get for his audience — the ones that they already are craving.

For instance, many people will just describe SeatGeek in terms of the discount tickets

that it gets but Alpha goes a step further here and connects it to the results that his fans want.

Now, let's take your date to the next level.

I'm gonna do that with a little help from my amazing sponsor, SeatGeek. Alright?

I'm gonna explain a little bit later why SeatGeek is like your amazing date wingman

and why if you're not using SeatGeek to buy your tickets

to amazing events, you are getting screwed.

Not only are you gonna get the best seats for the best price,

all your friends or your date are gonna be like, "Do you know someone?"

"Actually, yes. You know me and I know SeatGeek."

Guys, there's a link down below—

As the old saying goes, "People don't buy drills. They buy holes," meaning that

people don't just want a tool they want the result that that tool can get them.

That's why if you're interviewing, instead of simply saying that you have

experience in Excel, you should instead talk about how the analysis

that you are capable of can earn that company more money.

Your experience is just a tool. What they really want — the extra earnings — that's the desired result.

So whenever possible, Alpha doesn't just stop at verbally explaining his results, he also demonstrates the product.

...and then all you gotta do is go in and enter your promotional code.

It's gonna give you a twenty-dollar credit on any event you want to attend.

This product and this blade actually gets closer to the skin than this one.

Sunglasses. The sunglasses that MVMT are selling are ridiculous.

In terms of the quality, the styling—

And of course, he takes special care to demonstrate the result of the product as well.

For instance, he could have just showed a photo of his DVD set

when he was pitching his style company to Shark Tank.

But watch instead how he dramatized the results of his style system live.

Meet Joe.

Joe is average. But by using the Alpha M Style System,

Joe can build the perfect basic wardrobe with the simple-to-follow fashion formula.

Joe's got a hot date. He follows the formula and Joe transforms from average Joe...

Aaron: ...to an alpha male. Barbara: I'll take this Joe.

These demonstrations are critical for building trust

because uncertainty is often what prevents people from buying.

And when you demonstrate the process or the results of that process,

you can take some of that uncertainty away; people now know what it looks like.

So if you can show a date that you're adventurous by actually being spontaneous

and creating a unique experience during your date, that's so much more powerful

than just including, "Loves adventure," in your Tinder bio.

But everything that I've listed so far is just sales 101.

What really makes Aaron perhaps the highest selling promoter on YouTube,

at least amongst people that I know of,

is that he realizes one incredibly important mindset for selling —

people are only partially buying products but really, they are buying him.

And the Sharks on Shark Tank realized this very quickly when he was pitching his company for the second time on Shark Tank.

...this is a bad product but it's you selling it. The real product is you.

This just happens to be what you're selling right now.

You're the product and they think you're peddling is enthusiasm and confidence and

there's nothing more magnetic in any business field than that quality and you've got it.

But what does it mean to buy someone? After all, it's not like you can take them home with you.

So pay attention here because this is the part that affects you

the most even if you never formally sell anything at all in your life.

When people are deciding on anything whether to date you, to hire you,

buy from you... whatever, they are essentially deciding if they want your emotional state.

Emotions are contagious and if they feel like if they do what they do, they will be buying your feelings.

That's why nervousness oftentimes comes across so poorly in interviews;

you might be super well-qualified but that nervousness communicates uncertainty

and employers don't want to hire people that make them feel uncertain.

Alpha, on the other hand, is selling certainty confidence and enthusiasm and watch how those come across in his work choice.

He is a class that you have to — not should, I'm talking you've gotta — go check out.

The class is like an hour-long and it is so packed full of knowledge and just amazingness.

Guys, you guys are gonna freaking love it.

Notice that there is almost no uncertain language in Aaron's promotions.

He tells you what is going to happen as if it was a foregone conclusion

and he does it enthusiastically with a smile on his face. Check it out.

This sexy little box is the grooming essentials box that they're gonna send you for $5.

What you're going to get is an executive handle—

You're also going to get a pack of their incredible blades.

It's going to be a game-changer; you're gonna feel incredible, you're gonna look amazing...

Take your sexiness from a seven and a half to an 11.5.

Since you're already in rapport and you feel like you and Alpha are similar,

you also sense that you'll feel like he does if you do the things that he does.

So when he says that a razor is amazing, you're not just buying the razor —

you're actually only even kind of buying that clean shave —

really, you're hoping to feel that enthusiastic and that excited in general.

And this only works because Alpha is congruent with what he is saying.

He is a guy who genuinely loves style; he's into fashion.

This is not stuff that I could do because that doesn't matter to me personally.

Just watch how his vocal tone and his expression and his word choice

all communicate that same excited feeling about the things that he's discussing.

...super quiet. It comes with a bunch of different attachments so you can adjust the length.

This thing has absolutely blown my mind.

There isn't often where I find a product that I think is a category killer.

Brio Beardscape is a category killer.

There is no better beard grooming tool or body grooming tool out there that is better.

The other cool thing, the price, insane.

Since yesterday's video sponsor, they are the greatest undershirt in the history of undershirts.

This is, in my opinion, one of the most beautiful watch designs I've ever seen.

Look at that — that domed crystal, the rose gold case, the gray leather strap... this thing is ridiculous.

So apply this to a first date or to an interview.

Since emotions are contagious, a huge chunk of how the person opposite you

is making their decision has to do with what you believe about yourself.

If you think that you are an amazing catch

you're more likely to communicate that

congruently and the person's going to

respond if it's sales and you truly

believe that your product is amazing it

will come through and be so much easier

to sell

now of course congruence can be faked

that's really just being a good liar and

we have a video on how to spot Liars if

you want to check that out as well but

being honest and believing in yourself

and the quality of the product that you

are selling in an authentic way is by

far the longest lasting way to boost

your sales and while it's not easiest in

the short term I think it's the best way

to go now of course you still have to

talk about the product and the result

that it's going to get for your customer

but you're gonna be working backwards

from where the actual buying decision is

really made the emotional state that you

feel which highlights a super important

point if you ever feel like you're

selling a product that you can't be

enthusiastic about improve that product

or move on and if you ever feel like you

can't be enthusiastic about selling

yourself improve yourself hopefully our

videos will help with that or take the

time to reflect on the amazing things

about you that you maybe don't notice

enough so for instance before date or an

interview like we've talked about maybe

you're feeling nervous take two minutes

and just write down why you would make a

great choice your

hard-working or experienced for a

particular job role or maybe you're

thoughtful and caring and fun to hang

out with when you're in a relationship

just going through this reviewing this

and really connecting with it will help

you communicate your value with

conviction you don't even have to say it

you'll just feel it and it comes through

in the way that you speak and that's how

you can ultimately internalize the most

important mindset for sales probably

that hiring you dating you buying your

product whatever it is is good not just

for you as the person who is selling but

actually for the person that you are

talking to the person who is making that

decision about whether to buy from you

or to be with you now as I was

researching this video I realized that

I've actually done a pretty poor job of

internalizing this message and that's

why I love doing these videos I learned

something almost every time and this was

no exception but I realized that there's

part of me that felt like selling just

had to be icky that there was always

some way in which I was taking from the

other person in an unfair way if there

was an exchange of money which is why I

actually don't talk about our course

charisma University on the channel that

much and it's why some of you even some

of our most die-hard fans as I found out

recently might not even know that we've

offered a course in the past but this

video actually made me rethink this and

recognized some of my own limiting

beliefs and actually that it's

shortchanging other people because I'm

not telling them about this which is why

right now

I should just want to invite you to join

our course and tell you a little bit

about it so here's the deal we have this

course and it's called charisma

University and despite the fact that I

don't often talk about it it has

thousands of students that have gone

through it and it is the best thing that

I have ever put together when it comes

to developing outstanding charisma now

it's purposely laid out in a way that

encourages you not just to learn about

charisma which is hopefully something

that you've done on our channel but

actually to take action there's a daily

action guide one thing to do every

single day so that you build charismatic

habits so that you become the person

that people meet for 30 seconds but walk

away remembering and wanting to actually

reconnect with which is huge when it

comes to making new friends or getting a

date with someone that you really have a

crush on or just shining in an interview

process and personally the thing that I

like the most is it just makes me feel

more confident right wherever I go I

feel like I'm capable of opening doors

to new connections with people and the

course is actually getting even better

because I'm up

dating it right now and I'm taking

feedback from some of our current

students on what we can do to make it

better if there's any other topics that

I haven't covered right now it's got

first impressions confidence how to have

an amazing conversation that you don't

run out of things to say storytelling

how to have body language that is

magnetic so that people can feel your

presence leadership it's got comedy

there's a ton of different stuff it's

really it's it's everything it's like

ten plus hours of videos right now with

action guides so I'm going through it

trying to make it even better right now

and focusing especially on how to make

sure that there's that that

accountability piece that is so

important for getting people not just to

learn things but to really internalize

them so it so wants of changing your

life now the entirety of this course

with everything that I mentioned is $600

but when you join our email list which

I'm going to link to in the description

you get a preview of a smaller portion

of the course that piece on first

impressions that I mentioned which is

the first part of the course the first

week and if you want to buy that piece

which is how to make an amazing first

impression on anyone that you meet you

can check it out for 27 bucks and if you

like it which many people do when they

go through the course they often decide

to join the entire thing that's kind of

why we offer this at a discount and

hopefully that speaks to how valuable

people have found it and really that it

can make charisma your natural habit so

that is my first take thank you Aaron

for teaching me how to feel a bit more

confident in selling things and really

connecting with the fact that this is

good for you guys the people that I'm

talking to so if you're interested go

ahead click that link below drop your

email in and if you want to join the

amazing first impressions course and

make more amazing first impressions

consistently click and sign up to join

today anyways I hope that you guys

enjoyed this video I hope you learned a

ton as much as I did and I will see you

Why Do Deaf Gamers Wear Headphones? - Duration: 5:35.

(handwriting)

(happy 8-bit music)

Why, hello there.

This week, the videos are gonna be themed

around Twitch and video games in general,

but before we get started with the actual video,

I did want to mention that I am still selling

the No More CRAPtions shirts.

I have a picture right over here

so you can see what they look like.

They are on sale through the 21st,

so you only got a few days left by the time

that you're watching this video

at least when it first goes live.

So if you want to get one, get one now.

They come in various cuts like

short sleeves, long sleeves, a hoodie,

tank top and they come in a few different colors.

So, I'll have the link down below,

so make sure you go check that out.

So, one question that I get very often

on Twitch, mostly when the fact that

I can't hear for crap comes up,

or when I have Deaf Fortnite Player in the title

because, you know, sometimes it brings in the views.

And when you're trying to get partner,

that's what you do.

So, when that topic comes up,

a lot of the new people that come in and go,

first, they think I'm kidding.

Secondly, they go,

"Wait a second, then why are you wearing headphones?"

Or, "Wait, you're not really deaf!"

you can still hear this person.

And that's a whole different topic

to which I'll just sum it up with

remember, deafness is a spectrum.

And it's more complicated than anything.

But anyway.

So, yeah, the viewers have been asking me,

"Why are you wearing headphones?"

so often, that my mods

actually made a command explaining it.

So that way when someone brings it up,

it's right there with a big old paragraph.

And of course, I don't mind when people ask these questions,

it's normally always how they ask the question.

Some people are genuinely curious and that is fine.

And then some aren't really and just want to troll.

And I learned that quickly about someone

when they started throwing slurs and stuff around.

Anyways, and before I get to the answer,

which I'm sure many of you who know who I am,

who watch my videos know,

but some people don't know, that's why they ask.

But before I get to the answer,

I want to mention, I'm not the only deaf gamer

that wears headphones.

Chris wears headphones, we've played Fortnite

together actually, both of us wearing headphones

and talking to each other.

And Crow_Se7en, I believe, also wears headphones.

I feel like that might be escaping my brain at the moment

but I'm pretty sure.

So I will actually have a link to both Crow_Se7en

and Chris' Twitches and YouTube channels down below.

I think Crow_Se7en is the only one with a YouTube channel.

But whatever.

Links down below.

So, to the actual point,

why are you wearing headphones?

Because, like I said, deafness is a spectrum.

And most of us, if you look at the statistics,

at least the statistics that I have personally seen,

most deaf people can still hear some things.

I have a video that's titled

What I Can and Cannot Hear,

and I hear deeper sounds

way better than high pitched sounds.

So for example, when I'm playing Fortnite,

I can't hear the chests

but I can typically hear most of the weapons

that are being used in the game.

PUBG, not so much.

When it comes to playing Squad,

that gets a little bit more difficult.

There's,

I can hear most of people that I play with,

I tend to play with the same people.

But I play with some friends that are

significantly much more quiet,

and I don't do a really good job at hearing them.

Now, understanding them is a completely different ballgame.

They'll be asking me a question and I'm just like...

So really, just to sum it up,

some of us are wearing headphones because

if you're playing a game based on sound,

you want to try to the best of your ability

to be able to hear it.

If you're playing games like Sims or Stardew Valley,

you don't really need headphones.

You can kinda get away with it.

And also, you know, some headphones come with a mic,

you know.

This one has a little mic, I don't use it.

I have a different one that's over there.

But if somebody is playing Squad

with hearing people and, you know,

if the deaf person playing does speak,

then, they can still talk into the mic

and, you know, help out other people.

That's always a possibility.

So hopefully that's going to clear some stuff up.

You may think, "Well, that's a pretty simple question

with a pretty simple answer,"

but hey, some people just don't know things.

And that's what we're here for.

If you haven't followed me on Twitch already,

I would hope that you would consider doing so.

My user name is RikkiPoynterPlays.

Pretty simple, and I stream Monday through Friday,

occasionally Saturday but usually not

because Saturday is my filming day,

and I start streaming at 8pm EST

most of the time.

Sometimes 7, but, if you follow me on Twitter,

that's where I tend to update, you know,

if my schedule is not gonna be what it usually is.

That's where I update.

I play a lot of Fortnite, but I'm also getting into

some of the games because Seasons is coming out.

Yes!

So, you know, if you want to play, sometimes I play with viewers,

most of the time, you know,

it just depends.

And sometimes we don't even play games,

we talk for a little bit.

So if you just want a stream where you can chill,

come on over.

We try to make it as accessible as possible

with me SimComing

because, you know, two different audiences in one.

And sometimes we got one of my mods transcribing.

It's a stream that we try to make as accessible

as possible, but it doesn't always work out that way,

because, you know, one person.

Some people there aren't there to do all the things

but, yeah.

I hope you will consider following me,

and also if you haven't yet, before you go,

consider pledging on Patreon if you want to

help support my content.

I just changed up the perks.

I wanted to make them more affordable but

also more doable for me so we changed some stuff around.

So hopefully you consider doing that as well,

and I will see you later.

Bye.

SXSW Westworld & Cowboy Hat Reveal [S02E09 Spoilers] | Heavy.com - Duration: 6:06.

SXSW Westworld & Cowboy Hat Reveal [S02E09 Spoilers] | Heavy.com

If you haven't seen Season 2 Episode 9 of Westworld yet, then don't read any more.

Yet.

This post has a pretty big spoiler for Episode 9.

But if you have seen the episode, then keep on reading.

I think HBO might have dropped a really subtle hint about Season 2 during the SXSW Westworld Experience, and we all missed it.

Major spoilers for Season 2 Episode 9 below.

You've been warned. .

I was lucky enough to receive an invitation from HBO to attend their Westworld Experience at SXSW in March.

We were told there might be hints for Season 2 during the experience, but I never found any.

I did, however, find a ton of Easter eggs for the show, which you can read about in my story here.

But now, after watching Episode 9, I'm wondering if there was a very subtle hint left for us at the Westworld Experience.

When we first arrived at the Experience, we were each given a cowboy hat.

I was given a white hat and my husband and videographer, Derek Dwilson, was given a black cowboy hat.

Here's Derek wearing his hat and facing down against host Bodecker in a pretty tense moment in Sweetwater:.

And here I am with my white cowboy hat, posing against a wall quite reminiscent of the one Ford had set up in his office:.

They were really high-quality cowboy hats with the Westworld logo inside, and each guest was allowed to take their hat home after the experience.

At the time, I thought that the hats weren't a clue.

But inside the lining at the top of each hat there was a slot where you could store a card.

I later learned that non-press guests' hats had bloody cards with a table number (or other clues) inside them.

One attendee told me that a card in one hat simply read: "Lee Sizemore." Some guests were able to use these clues to complete quests and win coins that they could exchange for drinks.

(Those of us who were lucky press guests were given free drinks for the whole night.

And some of those drinks were delicious!).

Well, now that I've seen Episode 9, I'm thinking the hats and the clues inside were quite subtly pointing to another reveal.

We learned tonight from Emily and William that in the parks, the hats had scanning equipment built inside them.

When you're wearing the hats, they scan your brains and make copies, allowing Delos to save those scans in the servers stored at the Valley Beyond (aka the Forge), creating a "Cradle" similar but much bigger than where Ford was hiding out.

The cowboy hats were scanning brains and making copies of the guests.

OH MY GOSH.

But now I'm thinking that SXSW's Westworld Experience was subtly hinting at this by hiding a card in the top lining of our hats.

It was a hint that there was far more to the cowboy hats than meets the eye.

There was a hidden meaning inside the hats, a hidden purpose.

And I'm just now seeing it. Wow.

I hope HBO has an event at SXSW next year too.

Maybe I'll realize the hints before the episodes air this time around, for season 3.

Want a feel for just how realistic Westworld SXSW felt? I still love to relive that experience.

Here are two videos to give you a taste.

Read the story here to learn more.

Trump Allies Are "Preparing For War" Against Robert Mueller - Duration: 3:07.

On Friday, Paul Manafort the former Campaign Chief of Donald Trump's 2016 Presidential

Campaign went to jail.

He went to jail because he violated the terms of his bail for witness tampering so he will

be sitting in jail while he awaits trial.

Rick Gates, Mike Flynn both have pleaded guilty to the crimes they've been charged with but

now that this investigation is really starting to turn up the heat on Donald Trump, himself,

all of his little allies both in his administration and in the media and everywhere in between,

have decided that they're going to launch an all out war on Robert Mueller and the entire

Special Prosecutor's Office.

This was reported by The Washington Post this past Saturday.

Newt Gingrich confirmed it.

Newt Gingrich spoke with The Washington Post where he said, "Yeah, we're trying to come

up with a plan here.

We're going to go out here, we're going to take this head on."

Rudy Giuliani also backed it up and said he and his allies and Trump, himself, were going

to meet this past weekend and strategize on how best to approach this from here.

We've seen what Trump, himself, wants to do.

He wants to go on Twitter, he wants to use all caps and multiple exclamation points and

say, "WITCH HUNT!", which is absolutely not true because again, if this is a witch hunt

then Robert Mueller has found a hell of a lot of witches hiding out in the Trump Campaign

and the Trump Administration.

They're still going to do that.

They're going to engage in a new propaganda campaign, this one likely aimed at discrediting

Robert Mueller, making it seems like this investigation is biases even though the IG

Report from last week said, in fact, that no it is not.

They've got nothing left at this point, folks, and that's why they're engaging in this new

campaign.

It's not just that Manafort went to jail on Friday for witness tampering, it's not just

that the IG Report came out.

It's not just that Michael Cohen lost his legal team and they've re-taped together all

the documents he tried to destroy.

It is all of it together.

Donald Trump, his attorney, Giuliani, and all of his good friends in D.C. and in the

media, understand that things are getting bad.

That things are going to continue to get bad and, at this point, it doesn't look like there's

ever going to be a time when they actually get good again.

They also understand and I think this is the big underlying factor here, that as long as

this investigation continues, as long as Donald Trump's allies keep going to jail.

As long as his close friends keep screwing up in court, it's going to play very well

for Democrats, in November, and it's going to hurt the Republican Party's chance of retaining

at least the House, possibly even the Senate.

So, this isn't just about trying to protect Donald Trump's ass, this is about trying to

save the entire Republican Party because they let a disgusting creature like Donald Trump

take it over.

Sports Teams Are Stealing From Taxpayers | Hayden Ludwig - Duration: 2:51.

Do you like going to your favorite team's games?

You might—but regardless, you're already paying for that ticket, you just don't know

it.

That's because the vast majority of stadiums are built using taxpayer money.

Despite sports franchises being privately owned, team owners will negotiate with cities

for huge subsidies to build stadiums.

Between 2000 and 2010, 12 billion dollars were spent in taxpayer handouts on 51 new

sports facilities.

Both the political left and right oppose this; Reason, a libertarian group, and liberal Think

Progress have criticized the practice as a waste of taxpayer money, and liberal comedian

Jon Oliver dedicated an entire episode of his show to the problem.

So why aren't private sports franchises forced to pay their own way?

In part it's because many teams threaten to move to cities which offer competitive

subsidies—prompting fears that other cities will lose out on the economic benefits of

having a sports franchise.

But decades of studies have found that new sports facilities don't improve local economic

development, income growth, or job creation.

In fact, 85% of economists agree that public funding of professional sports stadiums is

a bad idea.

But there's another reason for this stadium scramble: labor unions.

Unions provide millions of dollars in campaign contributions to friendly politicians, and

construction unions stand to gain a lot from building taxpayer-funded stadiums.

When government gets involved, it opens the door to sweetheart deals with sports franchises

to hire only union workers.

Case in point: the Sacramento Kings, who negotiated 258 million dollars in taxpayer subsidies

from the city to build their 448 million dollar stadium.

The contract also negotiated 3,500 construction jobs—the vast majority of which went to

union workers.

In Sacramento, a union electrician can make as much as 43 dollars an hour plus benefits

while a nonunion electrician might only make between 25 and 35 dollars an hour.

And while non-union contractors could technically bid on the job, city law required that all

workers be paid the "prevailing wage" set by the state—which just so happens to

be the union rate.

In reality, the agreement guaranteed union jobs by undercutting the advantage held by

non-union workers.
