This is Jamboard,
It's like a whiteboard
except it's way better, because it
lets this team
and this team
work together
with this guy, who lives in France.
On the same thing, at the same time.
This is how you write

but you can also do this, and add some of these
and even turn this, into this
and it's got all this other stuff
so it's really easy to do this
unless you're no Michelangelo
in which case you can do this
That's because it's a part of G Suite, so you can pull
in anything from any of these
"Hey guys I have this room reserved"
And this is how you save your work.
"It saves automatically!"
Oh right, it's in the cloud
This is how you pick up where you left off
this is how you share your work
"Got it!"
So you never have to do this

What's a MacGuffin in Films and Why is It Called That - Duration: 8:27.
What's a MacGuffin in Films and Why is It Called That
In the last scene of the 1941 film classic, The Maltese Falcon, Sam Spade (played by Humphrey
Bogart) hands over a murderer (played by Mary Astor) and a black falcon statuette to authorities.
When asked what the statuette was exactly, Spade looks off in the distance and rather
unsatisfactorily explains, "It's stuff that dreams are made of."
This black falcon statuette – the so-called "Maltese Falcon" – is a perfect example
of what film connoisseurs call the "MacGuffin" (or "McGuffin"), an important and oddly-named
plot device that appears in many movies.
For the uninitiated, in a nutshell a "MacGuffin" is an object, event, or person that the characters
in a story value greatly- so much so that nearly the whole plot revolves around it,
despite that the thing itself isn't actually terribly important to the actual unfolding
story.
In the end, it really doesn't matter what the "thing" – or "MacGuffin" – is,
only that it provides motivation for the characters to push the actual story forward.
As famed filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock explained in an interview for the 1967 book Hitchcock
The main thing I've learned over the years is that the MacGuffin is nothing.
I'm convinced of this, but I find it very difficult to prove it to others.
My best MacGuffin, and by that I mean emptiest, the most nonexistent, and the most absurd,
is the one we used in North by Northwest.
The picture is about espionage, and the only question that's raised in the story is to
find out what the spies are after.
Well, during the scene at the Chicago airport, the Central Intelligence man explains the
whole situation to Cary Grant, and Grant, referring to the James Mason character, asks,
'What does he do?'
The counterintelligence man replies, "Let's just say that he's an importer and exporter."
"But what does he sell" "Oh, just government secrets!" is the answer.
Here you see the MacGuffin has been boiled down to its purest expression: nothing at
all!
(It should be noted here that while Hitchcock and in more modern times the likes of J.J.
Abrams who frequently uses this "it doesn't matter what it is or what it does / nothing
at all" approach to MacGuffins in most of his works- e.g. Rambaldi and his artifacts
in Alias or the Rabbit's foot in Mission Impossible III- other directors, such as George
Lucas, go the other way and feel that the MacGuffin should be more defined and something
"the audience should care about… almost as much as the dueling heroes and villains
on screen.")
While the word "MacGuffin" comes from relatively modern times (which we will get
into in a moment), the concept of it dates back to some of the earliest masterpieces
of the written word.
In Homer's Iliad, which was first composed almost 3,000 years ago, the MacGuffin was
Helen of Troy and her great beauty.
Again, it could have been Helen of Troy's great sweet potato pie that led to the launching
of a thousand ships, as long as the story made it clear why the characters were so intent
on having that pie.
(Perhaps with the characters intrigued over what exactly this then unknown food item of
"potato" was, or maybe if the composer wanted to be more explicit about its importance,
stating it was made from a recipe given to her by the gods, with those eating it said
to become immortal.)
This all brings us around to why the MacGuffin is called that.
Hitchcock, who is often credited as coining the term though never claimed such himself,
once explained he thought it may have come from a common humorous story, with this particular
instance of his telling the story appearing in the February 22, 1950 edition of the El
Paso Herald-Post:
There is a bloke on a train He sees a package, and asked what it is.
Man says it's a McGuffin.
Other man asks what is a McGuffin?
Other cove says a McGuffin is an apparatus for trapping lions in the Adirondacks.
'But there are no lions in the Adirondacks,' other bloke says.
'Then this thing is no McGuffin,' second lad says.
This is a variant of similar stories with a common message, such as this one published
in 1884 in Henry Irving's Impressions of America by Joseph Hatton (with the moral of
the story being the age old quip, "Ask me no questions, and I'll tell you no lies!"):
"Excuse me, sir; but would you mind telling me what is in that extraordinary bundle?"
"Certainly, a mongoose," replied the man.
"Ah, indeed!" ejaculated the broker, with unslacked curiosity.
"But what is a mongoose, pray?"
"Something to kill snakes with."
"But why do you wish to kill snakes with a mongoose?" asked the broker.
"My brother has the delirum tremens and sees snakes all the time.
I am going to fix 'em."
"But, my dear sir, the snakes which your brother sees in his delirium are not real
snakes, but the figments of his diseased imagination, — not real snakes sir!"
"Well! this is not a real mongoose."
As for who actually coined the term "MacGuffin," writer Angus MacPhail is often given credit
here.
For instance, filmmaker Ivor Montagu worked with Hitchock and MacPhail around the time
the term first started popping up; he claimed in an article he wrote in 1980 on what it
was like to work with Hitchcock:
…sometimes the scenario editor Angus MacPhail, my old schoolmate [would be there].
It was Angus who established the term 'MacGuffin' for the unknown plot objective which you did
not need to choose until the story planning was complete.
(This convenient word Hitch gleefully adopted and used to the end of his career.)
MacPhail was a studio writer, meaning he was hired to "fix" scripts and most of the
time did not get the credit he deserved for the task.
However, he became widely trusted by Hitchcock (because he specialized in "scenario editing")
and was often hired to help on the director's films, such as one of Hitchcock's early
greats, The Thirty-Nine Steps, where it is generally claimed MacPhail first came up with
the term.
In the 1967 book Hitchcock, by Francois Truffaut, Hitchcock explained the interesting evolution
of that particular MacGuffin and particularly how it inspired them to go from something
important to "nothing at all," which became a hallmark of his MacGuffins:
in The Thirty-nine Steps, what are the spies after?
The man with the missing finger?
And that woman at the beginning, was she on to some big secret?
Is it because she was getting close to the truth that it became necessary to stab her
in the back?
In the early stages of the construction, we felt, and we were all wrong, that since life
and death were involved, the pretext had to be a very important one.
In our first draft, when Robert Donat arrives in Scotland, he picks up some additional information
on his way to the spy's house, possibly by following the spy.
He rides to the top of the hill, and looking down, he sees underground plane hangars carved
into the side of the mountain, secret hangars, which made the planes safe from bombings.
Our original idea was that this MacGuffin should be something big and pictorially striking.
Then we went on to work it out in our minds: What does Donat do upon discovering these
secret hangars?
Will he send off a message to report their locations?
And in that case, what counter steps would the spies take?
[One option was to blow it up].
But how were we going to have them blow up a whole mountain?
Anyway, whenever we found ourselves getting terribly involved in this way, we would drop
the idea for something very simple…
If MacPhail did indeed coin the term, it's unclear today how he came up with it.
According to some sources, MacPhail himself used to say he borrowed it from the aforementioned
story of the two men on the train, but I could not track down any such instance of MacPhail
ever stating anything of the sort, and none of the sources who claim this back up the
claim with any primary text.
Some have alternatively speculated it alludes to that the word "guff," which is defined
as meaning "nonsense."
It also once meant "stupid" or "clumsy" person.
So, perhaps MacPhail took the first part of his last name and put the word "guff"
behind it, creating a whole new term (that was named loosely after him) for story telling
nonsense or a "stupid" element of the story.
(It should also be noted that in 1926, almost a decade before The Thirty-Nine Steps, one
Robert Haven Schauffler states in the journal, The Writer, that "McGuffin" is a word
for a gift that is not opened until Christmas.
However, this is the only known time this word/name was applied to such and it's unclear
whether there is any connection here or not.)

Canales de Tv en vivo para Android y SmartTv. España México Argentina - Duration: 2:25.
Hello friends today we will see an application to watch TV channels of 27 countries and also
We may also view these channels in a SmartTV
the application a name is called heliaca Tv a little weird but the important thing is that it works
pretty well and then show you how to see channels SmartTV
we have several categories like sports movies and music but I've been trying to see
movies and as we see appears to me a movie Roman
as I was saying the movie categories sports or music is not the strongest part of
This application thus leave channels turquia and other countries I think we are not interested
So to watch TV channels we go to countries and enter for example in espaa
and here if there are quite a few channels They are free but some are paid as
for example this sports such as habreis has seen advertising the application and
if we enter mejico also reproduced as many channels obviously not all always
someone who is down but there are many who They work and load pretty fast
We have seen that 'running well enough to watch TV channels now let's see them
a chromecast or simply go SmartTV lso settings and change the player for
and we choose default Android player internal
now simply we enter a country Argentina example and we chose a channel and
appear all the players we have installed if you want to see the channel in the
phone screen recommend mxplayer but to redirect by dlna a SmartTV
or chromecast will choose web video cast so we hope to load the device list
Here we featured a chromecast he should go around here and we have the typical screen
Chromecast to enter the pin number guest
I'll connect with other similar device chromecast we remove the advertising and now
If we can send to the tv as we see It is very easy to control reproduction
If you have any questions leave you link where explain how it works some of the options
video web cast I say goodbye here we are in another video soon

How Bilingual Brains Perceive Time Differently - Duration: 3:09.
That was a really good clap.
Good job, Amy.
Des que j'ai deux ou trois ans, ma mere ma parlee en Francais.
Dann im universitet, ich habe fur drei Jahren Deutsche gelernt… aber Ich benutze es nicht…
In researching bilingual brains, that is, how brains work when someone speaks more than
one language fluently, scientists have found there are differences.
Bilingual brains activate in different ways depending on the language they're speaking,
and and also demonstrate incredible cognitively flexibility, switching back and forth between
languages in a phenomenon called code-switching.
And a new study has found an interesting link between language and time: the language you
think in can impact the way you perceive time.
Every language has its specific vocabulary for organizing the world around us, but when
it comes to time, there are two general categories this is done: distance, as in crossing an
area, and volume as in a space being filled.
Swedish and English both use physical distances to express a measure of time.
In English we'd say "a short break" or "a long wedding."
We use these descriptive terms as though the passage of time is a measurable distance.
In Greek and Spanish on the other hand, time is marked with terms that refer to volume.
In Spanish you'd say "a small break" or "a big wedding."
So the question the researchers had was whether people who think about time with distance
or volume measurements have a better sense of how much time has passed.
To measure this, they had Swedish-Spanish bilinguals watch a line grow across a screen
or watch a container being filled, the first a measure of time as distance and the second
a measure of time as volume.
And in each instance the subject was given a prompt in one of the two languages — 'duración'
in Spanish or 'tid' in Swedish.
The results showed that subjects perceived time as it's measured in the language of
their prompt.
When given the Spanish prompt, participants estimated time based on volume, in this case
how full the containers were.
When they were given the Swedish prompt they could better estimate time as distance, using
the line's travel as a marker.
So this might not matter to any of us on a day to day basis, but it's interesting to
have some scientific evidence pointing to how much language impacts the way we perceive
something universal, the passage of time.
And we even found this in our office!
Maybe it's because I've been exposed to multiple languages.
When I think of a big wedding I think of a lot of people and a long night.
But other people in our office only think about the number of attendees.
Language, it seems, can creep in and affect our most basic senses, from emotions to perception
and, apparently, time.
Which means it's possible that learning a new language could change the way you experience
the world… which in itself is wild to think about.

Should You Get Back Together With Your Ex? - Duration: 4:41.
Hello my friends! Kaitlyn here! And do you think you should ever get back with your ex?
Uh oh! Oh no! Whatch you talkin' bout!?
(INTRO MUSIC)
Dear subscriber friend, Sara Milky South wants to know if getting back together with your
ex is a bad thing.
Like what if you still like your ex.
Or you realize that your ex still likes you...do you take the plunge back into a relationship
that you felt like was doomed before?
So several things here. Because I've been a serial, get-back-together-with-your-ex kind of girl.
Why Kaitlyn? Why do you do this to yourself?
Situation #1: How long have you been broken up?
Like a few hours, a few days. Maybe even a week.
If it's been a super small amount of time, and you are now thinking, "Maybe this wasn't just a good idea."
I say go for it!
Basically, in that small amount of time, you've not done a lot of healing or moving on so I think it can still work.
Sometimes you just overreact and "end" a relationship, when honestly it's not really over.
This is what happened with Parker and I.
We'd been dating for over a year and then just a lot of life forces were pressuring us in different directions which ended up causing him to break up with me.
And that legitimately lasted for about a week. It was like, what are we doing? Why are we broken up?
Neither of us want to actually be broken up.
And now we've been together for just under 5 years.
So yeah, in this situation, I approve of getting back with your ex.
Situation #2: It's been a little bit longer since you and your ex broke up. Like a month. Several months. Maybe even a year.
But you still fee like there's some kind of spark.
This is when you have to ask yourself, why did we break up in the first place?
And who broke up with who?
When there's been some time and healing, it's easy to forget what actually happened
when you ended a relationship.
You get all nostalgic about it and you don't remember how badly your ex treated you.
Or how unhappy you were in the relationship.
Or maybe even how bad you were to your ex!
But then if you get back together, then there's the honeymoon phase and everything
seems great again because you're wearing rose colored glasses but eventually that will fade and
where will you be then?
Will you and your ex be able to weather the normal storms of a long-term relationship?
Or do you just want to be back with your ex for the honeymoon phase? A romance high.
In this situation, there are absolutely going to be times when it's okay to get back with your ex,
but you have to be much more careful here.
And think about BOTH of your motives for wanting to get back together.
Is it because it's for the long haul?
Or do you really just want someone to make out with?
I have also fallen for this.
A high school boyfriend and I were very on-and-off-again because he really couldn't commit for more than
a month or two, and I REALLY liked the idea of him.
And kissing him. He was a good kisser.
So I ended up causing myself more pain in the long-run.
Now we're at situation #3 which is did your relationship end because one or both of you
cheated on the other?
So I want to say first off that this advice is for dating relationships and not marriages.
Because I think cheating in marriage follows a different set of guidelines because there's
And I've seen marriages come back from the absolute rocks when there was cheating involved.
But for dating I think they follow just little bit differently.
But my general rule for dating relationships is that if there was cheating involved DO NOT GET BACK TOGETHER.
Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I'm not saying that a relationship could never be fixed after cheating, but there's
so much room for abuse that I just don't think it's worth it.
My example of this, is that when I went to college my boyfriend was still a senior in high school.
And instead of admitting to him that I didn't want to be in a relationship anymore after
several months apart, I kissed another guy.
I know! I know! It's horrible! 18 year old Kaitlyn didn't know how to appropriately deal with her emotions!
But what's actually worse is that I felt so guilty for what had happened that I let him convince
me to stay in a relationship with him even though there was no way that things were going to be the same.
Instead, he spent all our time together punishing me by making me feel horrible for what had happened.
And in his own way, he was punishing himself too. We were both so miserable.
And if we'd just been able to say, "No, this has to end," we could have avoided SO MUCH pain.
So yeah, don't get back together with a cheating ex.
It's not good for either of you.
All righty! That's my take on whether you should get back with an ex.
As you can see that it varies by situation.
I'd love to know what you guys think though.
Are there any situations that I didn't bring up in this video that you think are okay or
really bad to get back with your ex?
Tell me down in the comments!
Plus remember to like, favorite, share, and subscribe if this video made you smile!
See you guys on Thursday!

5 BIGGEST MISTAKES WHEN WEARING A DRESS WATCH! - DRESSY vs SPORT WATCH DEBATE - Duration: 9:36.
[intro music]
Alright, so today we're gonna be going over the difference between a dress watch and a
sports watch.
Now, this is an important thing you want to focus on because if you're active participant
in the Watch Game, this could make a big difference on the effect you're trying to project.
Let me give you guys an example and tell you a quick story.
One day, I was going to attend a wedding here in Miami and it was one of those days where
you just have so many things to do that, before you know it, I was getting dressed for the
wedding.
And, when I put my suit on and I went to grab my watch, I realized that I did not go to
the bank that day and pick up my dress watch.
So my options were limited and when I mean limited, I'm talking about extremely.
The only thing I had that day to wear was, don't even ask why ask this watch, cuz I don't
want to get into that topic either, but it was a Yacht-Master II two-tone.
So me being a watch guy at heart, I said, �Man, I can't go without a watch.
I don't wanna be without a watch.
I feel like with no weapon!� So I pretty much wore the watch.
Needless to say, an hour and a half into the reception, I felt like a complete idiot.
I felt like the watch was too big.
It doesn't go with anything.
It's just completely the wrong watch to wear.
Why?
It was the wrong size.
It was 44 millimeters.
Totally the wrong size watch if you want it to be a dress watch.
I think a dress watch should always be maximum 40, 41 mm.
You know, in that area.
Maximum, because really you're gonna wanna be under that.
A number 2 thing that's very important is on a strap.
It should be on a strap.
Whether it's calf, alligator, crocodile, you need it to be on a strap.
Another important thing for me is one type of metal.
That day it was a two-tone, stainless steel and rose gold, incorrect!
I think you should stick to one color metal, would be the ideal scenario.
So you wanna avoid these mistakes and some of you guys might not even know this, but
not every watch can be worn for everything.
That particular watch, the ideal watch that I would have like to have been wearing, would
have been a Sky-Dweller on a strap.
Yes, I get it.
It's over 40 millimeter.
Whatever!
Rolex is very conservative, but it's nowhere compared to that 44-mm Yachtmaster I had.
I had, by far, the worst possible watch in my opinion for that scenario.
I felt like a complete idiot, so these are things you wanna think of.
In a good watch collection, you should always have a dress watch.
If you have a very young collection, where you don't have that dress watch yet, then
perhaps maybe you want a versatile watch.
For example, one sports watch that happens a diver watch that I feel can be used for
almost everything is the Submariner in stainless steel.
Can't go wrong with it.
You could dress it up.
You could dress it down.
It's one of those watches that does it all.
For example, gold Sub is not the same.
I just don't feel like it's the same.
This is a watch that I feel works better in shorts, very casual wear.
Doesn't give you the most effect in a formal situation.
Now, to throw a whole another extreme...the Presidential.
The Presidential is that one watch that I feel always looks dressy in a suit.
It's one of the few dress watches on a bracelet that I like.
Whereas I would, yes, rather have a Sky-Dweller on a strap or a great Daytona on a strap,
even though it's a Chrono.
You know, sports model?
But the Presidential is one of those watches you get away with and you can also dress it
down.
So, it's an ongoing topic, dressy versus sporty.
When a guy comes in to the store and he's trying to buy his first watch and I say, �Listen,
do you wanna go dressy or do you wanna go sporty?� That's a very important question.
If a guy is always in a kind of like an office situation, then he might go dressy if you're
gonna use it for work.
If he's only gonna use it to go out at night, to go to nice dinners and stuff like that,
again, you wanna maybe go a little bit dressy.
But if you're gonna wear it all the time, then you kinda wanna go with something that
works for both.
Now, I'll give you another example where you have two watches that, in my opinion, are
two different extremes.
The Pakte 5980.
Now in a perfect world, which we don't live in, both of these watches are bad ass and
you could do whatever you want with it.
But I wanna tell you something, if I was gonna wear a suit, the one I always have is this
one.
The strap is the way to go.
The strap, even though it's a chrono, does make it look dressy, whereas on a bracelet,
for me, it just gets more sporty.
Kinda something you wanna wear more casual.
So those are things that you wanna think about when you are selecting a watch.
Dress watches man, sometimes the simpler the watch, the better.
This is a topic that we can go on in circles all day.
You could make us sit there and say, �No, because the most dressy watch is the simplest
watch.� I don't see nothing wrong wearing a Patek Sky Moon in a suit.
Nothing simple about that watch.
It's full-blown complications on that.
So, this is a topic that we could go over and over and go all over the place with.
But I wanna just keep it as simple as possible.
Dressy versus sporty.
A sports watch is gonna be a diver, a chrono, a pilot.
Those types of things.
Dress watches is what you're always gonna thing is gonna be very slim, very conservative.
A watch that's fits under a suit.
You could tell, man.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to tell what looks more dressy than not.
So use that.
Think about that.
Don't be that guy.
I have been there.
I have worn a 44 millimeter Yacht-Master II two-tone to a wedding and pulled those moves
where I looked like a complete jackass.
Don't be that guy!
Choose the right watch for the occasion or choose the right watches in your collection
and you'll always have the right watch for the occasion.
So I wanna go over some of the 5 Biggest Mistakes People Make While Wearing a Dress Watch.
Number 1 is the size.
Select the right size.
You don't want an overly large watch.
This is one of those situations where bigger is not better.
Number 2 would be the type of bracelet, a strap that comes on that watch.
Some models look dressier than others, depending on the bracelet or strap that it might have.
For example, the 5980, how I was saying that, on a bracelet it looks sportier than on a
strap.
Number 3 is, bi-color.
I don't recommend ever wearing a two-tone watch in a suit.
Always better to stick to one tone of metal.
Number 4, what color metal are you wearing with that outfit?
For example, you don't wanna have a rose gold watch with a gray suit.
You're gonna preferably want platinum, steel or white gold.
Number 5 is the strap color.
If you're wearing black shoes with a black belt, you obviously do not want a brown strap.
So my favorite brands for sports watches is probably gonna be Audemars Piguet and Rolex,
and for dressy, more formal watches, I feel like Patek has that on lock.
Also I'm a fan of the Breguets and Vacheron.
I feel like those watches overall they give you the best look for that type of distinction
that you're trying to get with a dress watch.
So, like I mentioned earlier man, this is a topic that can go around in circles and
circles, and at the end of the day, I'm a watch guy, so most of my decisions are gonna
be more inclined, more towards watches than extreme fashion or like a fashionista would
say, whatever!
To not go around in circles, but can you wear a sports watch to a formal occasion?
I guess you could do whatever you want, you know?
I did it and how did I feel?
Like an idiot!
I would have given anything to have that day this watch instead of the two-tone Yacht-Master
II.
It'd be a downgrade in status, but it would have been the right watch to go with that
outfit.
So at the end of the day, you could do whatever you want.
Do I recommend wearing a 5980 on a strap in the water on a boat, NO!
But if you can afford this watch, you could do whatever you want.

Red Nose Day: Learn How You Can Help End Child Poverty | TODAY - Duration: 4:59.
. >>> THIS WEEK WE'RE MARKING THE
THIRD YEAR OF RED NOSE DAY HERE IN THE U.S. AND IT IS A MASSIVE
EFFORT TO KEEP KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES FROM FACING HUNGER AND
TO END CHILD POVERTY. >> ONE OF THE WAYS YOU CAN HELP
IS BY BUYING THESE RED NOSES. THEY SELL THEM AT YOUR LOCAL
WALGREENS. IF YOU'VE EVER WONDERED WHERE
THE MONEY GOES, CHECK OUT THIS FAMILY STORY.
>> TODAY A A GOOD DAY FOR THE WISHON FAMILY.
MAY MAKE LUNCH WITH THEIR KIDS THANKS TO A PANTRY FILLED WITH
FOOD IN A PLACE THEY CAN CALL THEIR OWN.
>> THE JOY OF HAVING A HOME AGAIN.
IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS THAT PEOPLE TAKE FOR GRANTED
HONESTLY. HAVING A HOUSE OVER YOUR HEAD.
HAVING A BED TO SLEEP IN. HAVING FOOD ON THE TABLE.
>> SEVEN YEARS AGO MARY WAS WORKING AS A BAKER AT A GROCERY
STORE AND ERIC WAS A CONSTRUCTION WORKER WHEN HE
SUFFERED A BACK INJURY. HE STOPPED WORKING AND WAS
PRESCRIBED PAIN MEDICATION BUT EVENTUALLY BECAME ADDICTED.
THE FAMILY MOVED AND FOUND NEW JOBS, BUT BEFORE LONG THEY WERE
BOTH OUT OF WORK AGAIN. >> THINGS WERE HARD FOR US.
WE DEFINITELY WERE STRUGGLING TO FIND EMPLOYMENT.
>> THEIR SITUATION DETERIORATED. BOTH BECAME INVOLVED WITH
ILLEGAL DRUG USE AND EVENTUALLY BECAME HOMELESS.
>> WE DEFINITELY MADE SOME DECISIONS IN OUR LIVES THAT
WE'RE NOT PROUD OF, THINGS THAT WE WISH WE COULD TAKE BACK.
WE RAN INTO SOME HARD TIMES. WE DEFINITELY HIT OUR ROCK
BOTTOM. >> IN 2016 THE COUPLE DECIDED TO
TAKE THEIR FAMILY BACK TO OHIO. THEIR KIDS STAYED WITH MARY'S
PARENTS WHILE ERIC AND MARY MOVED INTO A LOCAL HOMELESS
SHELTER. >> WE KNEW THAT WE HAD TO TAKE
CARE OF OURSELVES FIRST BEFORE WE COULD HELP OUR CHILDREN OUT.
>> THAT WAS PROBABLY THE HARDEST THING WAS EXPLAINING TO THEM WHY
WE WERE WHERE WE WERE. AND IT WAS TO BETTER OURSELVES
SO THAT THEY COULD COME BACK HOME.
>> TAKING CARE OF THEMSELVES MEANT FINDING THE RIGHT PEOPLE
TO HELP. THAT PERSON WAS JACK REAM.
>> WHEN GOD GETS AHOLD OF YOU, YOU'RE GOING TO DO THINGS YOU
NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD DO. >> THE RETIRED MINISTER FOUNDED
OHIO'S FRIENDS OF THE HOMELESS SHELTER WHERE ERIC AND MARY
STAYED. THE ACTIVE 86-YEAR-OLD WAS ALSO
A DRIVING FORCE BEHIND THE GREATER DOVER NEW PHILADELPHIA
FOOD PANTRY. THEY PROVIDED TWO MILLION MEALS
LAST YEAR WITH HELP FROM FEEDING AMERICA FUELED BY DONATION
PROSECUTE RED NOSE DAY. >> WE CAN MAKE PEOPLE THAT COME
INTO THIS FOOD PANTRY FEEL VERY GOOD WHEN THEY WERE SCARED TO
DEATH COMING IN AND EMBARRASSED. >> FOR MARY, THE EXPERIENCE WAS
HUMBLING. >> I WAS AN HONOR STUDENT.
I HAD A FULL RIDE SCHOLARSHIP TO COLLEGE.
TO COME BACK HOME AND BE LIVING IN A HOMELESS SHELTER IN MY
HOMETOWN WHERE I FELT LIKE I WAS -- I JUST FELT LIKE THIS IS
NOT WHERE I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. >> JACK'S SHELTER HELPED ERIC
AND MARY FIND DRUG TREATMENT AND FAMILY COUNSELING PROGRAMS THAT
THEY CREDIT WITH HELPING THEM BOTH GET CLEAN AND STAY CLEAN.
>> ONCE WE STARTED LIVING RIGHT, ONCE WE STARTED DOING THE THINGS
THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE DOING, IT JUST SEEMED LIKE
THINGS STARTED FALLING BACK INTO PLACE.
>> LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER CHECKING INTO THE SHELTER, THE
COUPLE IS EMPLOYED AGAINST AND MORE IMPORTANTLY BACK ONE UNDER
ROOF WITH THE KIDS. ERIC IS SO GRATEFUL FOR THE HELP
HE RECEIVED THAT HE NOW VOLUNTEERS AT THE FOOD PANTRY
HELPING JACK HELP OTHERS WHO NEED A HAND LIKE HE ONCE DID.
>> I KNOW THAT IF IT WASN'T FOR THE THINGS THAT JACK DOES, I
PROBABLY WOULDN'T HAVE HAD ANYWHERE TO GO.
>> AND NOW THANKS TO THE SUPPORT, JORDAN AND BRADEN ARE
HAPPY TO BE HOME WITH THEIR PARENTS AND APPRECIATE ALL THE
PEOPLE THAT HELP GIVE THEIR FAMILY A SECOND CHANCE.
>> IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE TO HAVE A NICE HOME AND OUR
FAMILY BACK TOGETHER AND TO JUST HAVE ALL THE FOOD WE NEED.
>> I NEVER FELT LIKE BEING IN A VERY GOOD HOME BEFORE AND NOW I
CAN FEEL IT HERE. SO THANK YOU FOR ALL YOU DID TO
HELP US. IT'S IMPORTANT TO GIVE BACK
BECAUSE IF YOU GIVE BACK, THIS COULD HAPPEN TO SOMEONE YOU GAVE
BACK TO. >> OH MY GOD.
>> OH MY GOSH. >> THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.
>> DON'T FORGET. >> YOU CAN HELP THESE FAMILIES
LIKE THE WISHONS WHO NEEDED HELP PUTTING FOOD ON THE TABLE AT
DIFFICULT TIMES. ALL YOU DO IS PICK UP YOUR RED
NOSE. >> BE SURE TO TUNE IN

Trisha Yearwood On Manchester Attack: 'Music Is A Healer' | TODAY - Duration: 4:23.
THE NATIONAL ANTHEM BEAUTIFULLY
AT THE HOCKEY PREDATORS GAME.
AND THIS ALL HAPPENED AS NEWS OF
THE MANCHESTER BOMBING WAS
UNFOLDING.
WHEN YOU WERE AT THE EVENT LAST
NIGHT IT JUST SORT OF HAPPENED.
>> WE WERE JUST ABOUT TO GO OUT
AND SING AND THERE WAS, LIKE,
YOU KNOW, THINGS -- SOCIAL MEDIA
KIND OF SAYING SOMETHING'S GOING
ON, SOMETHING HAPPENED.
WE REALLY DIDN'T KNOW ANY
DETAILS.
IT SEEMED LIKE IT TOOK A WHILE
FOR THE DETAILS TO COME OUT.
EVEN THIS MORNING I FEEL LIKE I
WAS LEARNING NEW THINGS.
EVERY TIME YOU SING THE NATIONAL
ANTHEM, I ALWAYS THINK ABOUT,
ESPECIALLY IN THIS DAY AND TIME,
I THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHEN --
FOR ME WE WERE TALKING BEFORE WE
CAME ON, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT
OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE.
I ALWAYS GET REALLY TINGLY WHEN
I SING LAND OF THE FREE, BECAUSE
IT JUST GOES ALL OVER ME.
IT'S ALWAYS A SPECIAL MOMENT.
>> CAN WE LISTEN A SECOND.
*
LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF
THE BRAVE *
>> WOW.
>> IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU WHEN
YOU'RE SINGING THAT SONG, IS IT?
>> NO.
AND LAST NIGHT, I'M A
NASHVILLIAN.
OUR CITY IS JUST A BUZZ WITH
WHEN WHOLE STANLEY CUP THING.
>> CONGRATULATIONS.
IT'S A FIRST.
>> YES, IT IS.
TO HEAR EVERYBODY SINGING WAS
AMAZING.
>> WE WERE THINKING ABOUT ARIANA
GRANDE AND HAVING THIS BIG DO
YOU FEEL CONCERT.
>> AND MADE ALL THOSE PEOPLE
HAPPY.
>> DOES THIS SORT OF THING EVER
CROSS YOUR MIND WHEN YOU -- WHEN
YOU'RE PERFORMING OR WHEN YOU'RE
PERFORMING WITH YOUR HUSBAND?
>> YES AND NO.
I THINK THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE
YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING WITHOUT
CONSIDERING THAT WE LIVE IN A
DIFFERENT WORLD.
>> WE SURE DO.
>> BUT YOU ALSO, IT'S THAT WHOLE
THING.
EVERY TIME SOMETHING LIKE THIS
HAPPENS EVERYBODY SAYS YOU'VE
GOT TO LIVE YOUR LIFE AND YOU
CAN'T --
>> YOU CAN'T LET THEM WIN
ZBRCH.
>> EXACTLY.
THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY.
BUT THERE IS A TRUTH IN THAT
EVERYBODY TAKES, EVERYTHING IS
MORE SAFE, MORE PRECAUTIONS ARE
TAKEN, BUT THERE'S STILL A RISK
EVERY TIME YOU GO OUT THE DOOR.
I THINK MUSIC IS THAT PLACE
WHERE IT IS A HEALER.
IT IS THE PLACE THAT PEOPLE GO
TO ESCAPE THE THINGS IN THEIR
LIFE THEY WANT TO GET AWAY FROM.
THAT'S WHAT MAKES ME THE
SADDEST.
ESPECIALLY ARIANA GRANDE, THESE
LITTLE GIRLS WHO JUST WANT TO
HEAR HER SING AND HAVING THE
TIME OF THEIR LIVES AND JUST
HAVE FUN.
>> WHEN YOU HEAR SOMETHING LIKE
THIS, WHAT DO YOU AND YOUR
FRIENDS TALK ABOUT OR YOU AND
HUR HUSBAND?
WHAT IS THE CONVERSATION?
>> I THINK WE JUST -- I KNOW
IT'S HAPPENING OFTEN ENOUGH THAT
IT ALMOST BECOMES WHERE YOU
DON'T -- YOU'RE NOT SURPRISED BY
IT, BUT WE NEED TO STILL BE
COMPLETELY SURPRISED AND
DEVASTATED EVERY TIME SOMETHING
LIKE THIS HAPPENS, BECAUSE I
DON'T WANT IT TO BE LIKE OH,
WELL, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE.
EVERY PERSON WHO LOST SOMEBODY,
THIS IS EVERYTHING THAT'S
HAPPENING IN THEIR LIVES RIGHT
NOW.
I'M FRUSTRATED AND I'M SAD AND
I'M SAD FOR THE FAMILIES AND THE
VICTIMS.
I'M ALSO SAD FOR ARIANA, BECAUSE
EVEN THOUGH IT HAS NO BEARING ON
HER, IT'S STILL GOT TO BE
DEVASTATING.
>> SHE HAS CANCELED APPARENTLY
SOME OF HER TOUR AND THAT MAKES
SENSE, WOULDN'T YOU THINK?
>> ABSOLUTELY.
>> I HOPE SHE DOESN'T FEEL
RESPONSIBLE IN ANY WAY, BECAUSE
SHE ISN'T.
>> NO, SHE ISN'T.
>> WE WATCHED YOU SING THE
ANTHEM AND WE KIND OF TOUCHED
ON.
HOORAY FOR NASHVILLE FOR GETTING
TO THIS POINT IN THE STANLEY
CUP.
>> NASHVILLE IS A GREAT
COMMUNITY FOR REALLY GETTING
BEHIND THEIR ATHLETIC PROGRAMS.
WE REALLY DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING.
WE HAD THE NASHVILLE SOUNDS, A
AAA BASEBALL TEAMS.
THEN WE GOT THE TITANS.
WHEN THE PREDATORS CAME WE
RALLIED AROUND.
WE'VE NEVER BEEN TO A STANLEY
CUP.
WE'VE MADE IT VERY CLOSE, SO
THIS WAS BIG FOR THE WHOLE --
NOT JUST IN THE A REEN NARKS BRENA.
>> IS THAT GARTH BESIDE YOU?
>> THAT IS EDDIE GEORGE.
>> WE'RE GETTING OLD.
WE DON'T SEE SO WELL.
>> AND WE DO WANT EVERYBODY TO
KNOW THAT THERE'S BIG NEWS IN
YOUR LIFE AS WELL BECAUSE OF
YOUR -- THE NEW DEAL THAT YOU
HAVE GOING WITH YOUR COOKWARE
AND YOUR COOKING.
CAN EVERYBODY FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT ALL THAT ON YOUR WEBSITE?
>> OF COURSE.
>> WE FELT LIKE TODAY WAS NOT
THE DAY TO TALK ABOUT THAT.
>> I THINK THIS IS A DAY OF
RESPECT AND WE'RE CLOSE TO
MEMORIAL DAY SO IT MAKES SENSE
TO KIND OF BE TALKING ABOUT THE
ANTHEM AND CELEBRATING OUR
VETERANS.
EVERYBODY WILL BE GETTING
TOGETHER NEXT WEEKEND AND THAT'S
ALWAYS GOOD.
I THINK I SAW SOMETHING JUSTIN
TIMBERLAKE POSTED.
WE NEED TO DO BETTER.
WE NEED TO LOVE ONE ANOTHER.
I SAY LOVE ONE ANOTHER EVERY
NIGHT AT THE END OF MY SHOW.
I FEEL LIKE ESPECIALLY THIS
WEEK, IT'S A CHANCE TO BE WITH
YOUR PEOPLE.
>> IF YOU WANT TO FEEL BETTER,
GO ON YOUTUBE AND LISTEN TO
TRISHA SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM.
>> OR LISTEN TO TRISHA SING
ANYTHING.
ANOTHER PERSON WE LOVE TO LISTEN
TO, TIM TEBOW OPENS

Top 10 Countries Causing the Most Pollution - Duration: 13:18.
Top 10 Countries Causing the Most Pollution
10.
Canada (557 mtCO2 emitted per year)
The second biggest nation on Earth, Canada is essentially an icy wilderness ringed by
a tiny human population clinging desperately to its slightly-less frozen parts.
It's a land of virgin forest, desolate mountain ranges, crystal blue lakes, and enough pollution
to suffocate a herd of buffalo.
Sorry, what?
Yep, despite its squeaky-clean image, Canada is actually kinda dirty.
And we don't mean in the way yo momma is.
Like the weed-addicted younger brother of America's beer-swilling older sibling, Canada
is puffing out more clouds of smoke than even the biggest bong-addict.
Want the numbers?
In 2015, Canada sent 557 mtCO2 (million tonnes of CO2) spewing into the air, from a population
of 35.9 million.
For comparison, the 11 th biggest polluter, Indonesia, sent 537 mtCO2 into the atmosphere
from a population of over a quarter of a billion.
And these guys have deadly annual smogs that have killed 100,000 people.
Yet Canada may not keep its less-than-coveted 10th ranking for long.
In October 2016, the government signed up for a carbon tax plan that could put the country
on a path to a cleaner economy.
Failing that, Indonesia's pollution output is increasing like mad, so they're probably
about to overtake North America's answer to Denmark pretty soon anyway.
9.
South Korea (592 mtCO2 emitted per year)
On a peninsula half-occupied by the country of a demented fat man armed with nuclear weapons,
South Korea can seem like a breath of fresh air.
It's clean, safe, modern, rich… and very, very dirty.
Yeah, that 'breath of fresh air' we just mentioned?
That was only metaphorical.
Visit Seoul in spring, and it can feel like you're trying to outdo your uncle's four-pack-a-day
habit with a single breath.
Partly, this is China's fault.
The neighboring super-polluter sends its toxic gunk spewing over both Koreas like an annoying
kid repeatedly chucking his carcinogenic deathball into your yard.
But the Global Carbon Atlas doesn't track pollution caused by other countries.
Plenty of Seoul's clean air problems come from the Republic of Korea itself.
As NPR has pointed out, the country is powered by 50 coal plants, with more on their way.
Then there's the sheer size of their capital.
Seoul has a bigger population than New York or London, and everyone's driving cars.
For comparison, dystopian nightmare LA recorded 7 days of air ranked 'unhealthy' in 2015.
Seoul recorded 53.
So what's South Korea doing to tackle this problem?
Umm, nothing actually.
They're one of the few countries in smog-choked Asia Pacific that are increasing their carbon
output.
8.
Saudi Arabia (601 mtCO2 emitted per year)
According to the World Health Organization (WHO) the Saudi capital of Riyadh is one of
the most polluted cities on Earth.
Even Beijing doesn't rank so highly in terms of horrifying stuff that'll get into your
lungs and make you feel like you've swallowed a cheese grater.
While some of this is thanks to stuff beyond human control – namely, the region's terrifying
sandstorms – plenty can be laid squarely at the feet of the ruling classes.
Across Saudi Arabia, industrial waste is let into the environment like it's going outta
fashion.
Part of this may be to do with the fact that the Wahhabist kingdom is a petro-state that
bungs its 31 million citizens subsidized gas.
Until recently, you could fill-up a medium-sized car from empty for about $7.
While prices have gone up, that's still a massive incentive to drive everywhere.
Add lax rules with industrial waste and plenty of oil flowing, and it all adds up to a state
where 'environmental concerns' are ranked by the government as a slightly lower priority
than 'literally anything else'.
Like South Korea, Saudi Arabia is not interested in cutting its current output by much.
Although they signed up to a 50% clean energy target a while back, this was recently reduced
to only 10%.
7.
Iran (648 mtCO2 emitted per year)
A short hop over the Persian Gulf from Riyadh, and you arrive in one of the planet's other
super-polluters.
The Islamic Republic of Iran is home to Ahvaz, a city with the unfortunate claim to fame
of being literally the most polluted place on Earth.
Air quality is so poor in this city of a million that the WHO can't even measure how dangerous
it is.
Their official scale calls any place with over 20 micrograms of tiny, health-destroying
PM10 particles per cubic meter of air a hazard.
Ahvaz has over 372 micrograms of PM10s per cubic meter.
You might as well just wire your lungs up to a sewage pipe as breathe this stuff.
But it's not just Ahvaz.
All across Iran, from Tehran to Qom, blankets of smog severely screw with people's lives.
In November 2016, all the capital's schools had to be shut down due to clouds of killer
fumes strangling the city.
We aren't using the word 'killer' lightly.
Over 400 people died from the pollution in just 23 days.
Aside from a reliance on petrochemical industries, one big reason for Iran's bad air is the
sanctions placed on it following the Islamic Revolution.
Fume-belching cars and low-grade fuel were all anyone could afford for decades, contributing
to the current situation.
6.
Germany (798 mtCO2 emitted per year)
So, we're probably all pretty surprised to see Germany on this list.
The economic powerhouse of the EU, Germany is also supposed to be unfailingly clean and
efficient.
Which it totally is… provided you just concentrate on visible dirt.
Focus on those pesky invisible PM10s, and wandering through Germany's cities is like
stepping into a blizzard of flying death.
Stuttgart, for example, has been called "Germany's Beijing".
While you won't get the same clouds of smog you get in China, you'll still get pretty
unhealthy air.
Hazardous particles exceeded the legal limit for 64 days in 2014, more than Seoul and Los
Angeles combined.
Elsewhere, things are just as bad.
28 areas of Germany, including Berlin, Hamburg and Munich, have levels of air pollution considered
dangerous.
In 2013 alone, hazardous amounts of nitrogen dioxide were estimated to have killed over
10,600 Germans.
Things have gotten so bad that the EU recently threatened to hit Germany with a hefty fine
if it didn't clean up its act (literally).
Not that they can really talk.
Taken as a single nation, the EU would be the 3rd biggest polluter on Earth.
5.
Japan (1,237 mtCO2 emitted per year)
Leaping upwards a few hundred million tonnes of CO2 per year, orderly Japan emits enough
bad gas per annum to make it Asia Pacific's 2nd biggest polluter.
Man, what is it with these supposedly clean countries and terrible air quality?
Actually, we're being pretty unkind here.
Japan may be a high-level emitter today, but it's a squeaky-clean utopia compared to
what came before.
In the 1960s, Japan was what China is now: a smog-choked industrial powerhouse that was
raking in billions, even as it killed hundreds of thousands of its citizens with horrifically
unsafe air.
Some pollution-related illnesses, such as Minamata Disease, are still known globally
after the Japanese cities where they were first identified.
It was only after a massive push to curb emissions in the 1970s that Japan started its slow climb
down from smog-filled dystopia to the relatively clean place it is today.
In fact, things would likely be even better, were it not for Japan's recent reliance
on coal fired power stations.
2014 was the country's second-worst year for emissions on record.
For that, you can thank the Fukushima disaster of 2011.
The only nuclear disaster in history to come within touching distance of Chernobyl, it
resulted in nearly all of Japan's nuclear plants being shut down and replaced with coal
fired ones.
4.
Russian Federation (1,617 mtCO2 emitted per year)
If you need an illustration of how polluted Russia is, look no further than the town of
Karabash.
A small town 100 miles north of Kazakhstan, Karabash is home to only 13,000 people…
possibly because no one else is fundamentally insane enough to live there.
The river water is orange.
The lake is dead and red.
A mile-long ridge of black slag runs through the town.
The air is so nasty it causes your eyes to sting and your throat to burn.
Children have multiple birth defects.
In 1996, the government declared it a disaster zone.
Of course, most Russians don't live in a city even remotely approaching this bleak
state.
But even in the richer, western cities, things can still get bad.
Moscow occasionally records pollution at 'especially dangerous' levels, and, in 2010, was hit
by a suffocating smog more like something you'd see in Beijing.
Still, it's the Siberian industrial towns that are really to blame for Russia's impact
on climate change.
Interestingly, the Kremlin doesn't seem too bothered about combatting this.
Although Moscow announced a recent carbon reduction plan, some analysts have said it'll
actually increase emissions in the long term.
3.
India (2,274 mtCO2 emitted per year)
When you're emitting as much gunk into the air as Russia and Iran combined, you know
you've got a problem.
At least, you probably should.
But India is something else.
Home to five of the world's most polluted cities, its insane population levels are contributing
to an ecological bomb that could threaten the entire region.
It's estimated that up to 1.2 million people die in India each year due to air pollution.
That's equivalent to the entire population of Prague dropping dead every 12 months.
Although India has signed up to cut emissions and move towards clean energy, economists
are asking whether this will be possible in a practical sense.
India's economy is booming, but it's still a long, long way behind even China in terms
of supplying a decent standard of living for its poorest citizens.
Hundreds of millions still lack electricity.
Tens of millions are stuck in poverty so dire most of us can't even imagine it.
Central to India's recent economic gains have been its reliance on cheap, atmosphere-destroying
coal.
Take that away, and Delhi worries it will be condemning its citizens to an eternity
of moneyless misery.
On the other hand, India is also one of the countries that will be most affected by climate
change, with its coastal cities being flooded and crops destroyed.
Huh.
Some choice.
2.
USA (5,414 mtCO2 emitted per year)
Sorry to any frat bros out there hoping to start up a chant of "USA!
USA!" when America snagged the top spot.
The good ol' US-of-A ain't even close to being the planet's number one emitter.
That's not to say they're a slouch, though.
With over 5,000 million tonnes of CO2 being released into the atmosphere each year, the
USA is laying into the atmosphere with more gusto than nearly any other country on Earth.
"But hang on," you may be thinking, "the US doesn't have any of the post-apocalyptic
pollution wastelands you've written about for most other entries."
Well, no, maybe not.
But that doesn't mean bad stuff isn't happening.
A 2016 report by the American Lung Association found more than half the country's population
lives at risk of breathing in dangerous air pollution.
That's 166 million Americans at risk of asthma, cancer, heart disease and reproductive
problems, all thanks to the air they're breathing.
To be fair, the US's air problems don't all start in Washington.
The smog in Western states frequently starts life in China and India, before drifting into
the USA and causing misery for millions.
Still, America isn't totally innocent.
According to the Global Carbon Atlas, it's still one of the biggest emitters, however
you cut it.
Yet even this pollution behemoth has nothing on…
1.
China (10,357 mtCO2 emitted per year)
Be honest: you saw this coming, didn't you?
No other country on Earth emits as much smoggy nastiness as China.
If the USA, India, Russia and Japan were all to suddenly decide to conglomerate into a
single state (we're not exactly sure why or how), that new super-nation would still
only be emitting the same amount of greenhouse gas as China.
If polluting was an Olympic sport, China would bring home gold every single time.
You hardly need us to repeat all the stories of China's toxic air.
The deadly smogs that suffocate entire regions.
The impenetrable haze that makes seeing more than a few meters in front of your face an
impossibility in Beijing.
The studies that have compared breathing the country's air to being as bad for you as
smoking.
It's all grim stuff that's pretty well known.
But hey, at least China signed up to the Paris Agreement, right?
And Beijing seems pretty down with combating this whole 'toxic air' thing.
Not quite.
Recent data has shown that China's air crisis is actually getting worse as time goes by.
Expect them to stay at #1 for some time yet.
