-How did you write "Despacito"?
Did you just -- Did you spend time on it?
Did you have it in your head for like a year
and go like, "I got it"?
-You know, I woke up with "Despacito" --
[ Singing in foreign language ]
And that's pretty much it, and then it just kind of snowballed.
[ Laughter ]
-So you just rhymed ito with ito and ito?
[ Laughter ]
Genius.
I'm not telling anyone. It never happened. Wow.
-So then that -- I woke up with the idea.
I kind of recorded it in my studio.
Just kind of the -- the basic melodic structure and, like,
the, you know, the harmonic structure,
if I want to get technical.
Then I met with a great friend,
Eddie Guile, who's a great songwriter.
We finished the song. We recorded it.
We produced it with great producers.
Then I finished it, and I was like,
"It's missing a little bit of, like, fire."
Then I called Daddy Yankee.
And then the song just, like, explodes.
Then we release it, and then a month later,
Justin Bieber joins the party,
and it's just, like, out of control, man.
-It's the biggest thing ever.
-It's a beautiful thing. -Oh, yeah.
-It's a beautiful thing. -I think "Rolling Stone"
called it one of the best songs in the entire century.
-Sure, I'll take it.
-Yeah. "Sure, I'll take it." Why not?
[ Laughter and applause ]
Well, we -- we thought it would be fun
to see how the song would sound with totally different lyrics.
-Oh, okay.
-Random ones that we made up
just to see if it still sounds cool.
Do you want to try a couple?
-I'm game. Let's do it. -Perfect.
All right. I'll start first. -Okay. Let's do this.
-Now, the new lyrics will be on those cue cards in front of us.
-All right.

Stephanie Feels Betrayed By Kat "Tatu Baby" | Cartel Crew - Duration: 3:32.
(Stephanie) So what you been up to?
Like, what do you do when you're not working?
Well, you know, go out, go to the club.
No boyfriend?
Girl, I been celibate...
...for like, months.
Me too, I have nothing happening.
But people wouldn't believe that.
They wouldn't because they see your Instagram,
they see where you're half-naked.
(laughing) Yeah.
It's like, no, these bitches
are doing something or they-- you know?
I'm not fake, and the more I get to know Nicole,
she doesn't seem fake either.
So if some bitches pretending to be real
have a problem with us two hanging out?
Let them hate.
Girl, honestly, I feel right now
like an Egyptian princess.
(chuckling)
'Kay, girls, I'm gonna leave you for a few minutes, okay?
Be right back.
Okay.
Okay.
I love it.
Wow!
You wanna know what I just found?
What?
Kat posts this on Instagram.
I want you to take a loo--
Shut the (bleep) up.
I want you to take a look at who's in that picture.
In New York. With Kat.
Wait, she's with Marie?
And she didn't tell you about this?
No!
She told me she was going to New York with her mom.
I thought Kat and I kept it real.
You're not gonna tell me that Marie and Dayana
are going to New York with you
knowing that me and Marie have a (bleep) situation
that she's talking (bleep) about me?
You're just gonna (bleep) hide this
and then flaunt it on social media in my face?
When did you decide you wanted to invite Marie and Dayana?
After they talked (bleep) about me or before?
Keep it real.
But how you gonna do me like this?
How are you gonna be my best friend?
I'll take a bullet for you.
Me and her come from the same (bleep)!
(phone vibrating)
She just texted me right now.
She texted back. She's like, "Steph,
"I didn't wanna make a big deal about it.
I'm trying to diffuse the situation."
What?
Diffuse the situation?
You makin' the situation worse!
I'm so mad, I could punch something.
I swear to God.
Yeah, that's wild.
That's my (bleep) friend, man, like...
I didn't know that being the bigger person
was gonna cost so much.
I would expected that from Marie
'cause she fake as (bleep),
but your friend?
I don't know, girl. You gon' have to check that.
I don't even wanna look at this (bleep) anymore.
She should stop (bleep) texting me.
(bleep) crazy.
Just chill.
She's lost her (bleep)damn mind.
Well, I can show you why she didn't come.
What do you think about this?
It's on Nicole's Instagram.
Are you serio-- I mean, they look like BFFs.
(laughing)
I knew this (bleep) was gonna happen.
She couldn't find time to come to New York for Kat
when Kat needed her the most?
But she's over here taking
(bleep) puppy pictures with Nicole?
I was already questioning her motives when it came to me.
But now, I just don't trust the (bleep) bitch.
They look like they're about to do like,
a porno or something.
That's some fake (bleep).
Oh, no (bleep).
It's such an important trip...
Why do you th--
Why do you think I'm reacting to her--
...for her best friend.
I already knew Nicole was fake as hell,
but it turns out Stephanie's a fake bitch too.
Where I come from, the only thing worse
from calling someone a snitch is being fake.
That does not fly, I'm sorry.
I don't wanna bring that up on this trip
and make Kat feel some type of way.
She's just a (bleep) fake-ass bitch,
and that's what she is.

Pleasure P Calls It Quits & Truth on Podcasts - Check Yourself: S2 E5 | Love & Hip Hop: Miami - Duration: 5:50.
You're watching "Love and Hip Hop: Miami..."
Check yourself.
Season two.
You'll be watching us watch the show...
For the very first time.
You'll be getting our natural...
And honest reactions.
We're watching it...
With you.
The scene you're about to see
is Pleasure P writing a song about heartbreak.
Starring Jojo.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. Hold on.
Just give me a second.
Y'all got the same hair color right now.
We probably do, but mine look better.
Don't you think? Don't you think?
I'm here because I wanna talk about
what the (bleep) happened the other day.
This is serious, like, what?!
Ooh, this is juicy!
You let-- you allowed somebody who I used to date
to push your buttons,
and you misrepresented yourself in a bad way.
It's not like you're not used to it.
Shay is always into some type of turn-up with somebody.
Show them a different version of Shay,
the nice version.
The nice version is, bitch, don't cross me,
or I'ma cut ya.
Ratchet!
There's no bitch that's about to come and try me.
I understand that I shouldn't have reacted the way I did.
See, first and foremost, you ain't even gotta call her a bitch.
Ooh!
I just fell back in love.
(laughing) Yo!
So, do you think it was right
for going to check on her before you come check on me?
Yes, he came to check on me,
somebody he actually have love for,
before he's seen you, because you didn't matter.
All he care about is me and my girls.
When I walked over to her, and I asked her,
I'm-- I'm asking her, like, listen...
When Pleasure start stuttering, he 'bout to lie.
You stu...
(both laugh)
He sound like he lying.
Yeah, he sounds like he's lying.
And you know I love me some P.
We were friends first,
and we had a really, really good friendship.
So, if she love me, listen, let's love each other
from a distance.
We do! We both love each other
from a distance, we're not together.
But in a certain situation,
I would stick up for this man,
just like he just stuck up for me.
The question is, do you wanna be with her still?
If I did wanna be with her, then I would be working
on being with her, I wouldn't be arguing
with you right now about some stupid-ass (bleep).
He's in love with Shay still.
At the end of the day, I've been rooting for you guys.
Give it another shot.
If you don't shut the hell up...
The way that you reacted the other night,
I never even knew that person.
Who was that person?
I know that person.
When she have 10 drinks in her system,
that's the only time she get any balls.
(bleep) this (bleep).
So, say (bleep) it.
No, I'm telling you how I feel.
Don't threaten me.
I don't know how to feel.
I'm not threatening you, but I'm trying
to tell you how I feel.
It's almost like he's trapping her.
Yeah, kinda.
Like, she's saying something
and he's looking for the escape route out, right?
Right, he is.
I think he didn't wanna be in a relationship with her.
Yeah, I don't think so either.
(Jojo) If I don't feel like you and me
can be together and we can build together,
then I'm not gonna sit here and (bleep) with you.
So, don't.
Pleasure is a dog.
Leave.
He kicked the bitch out the studio, like, I'm so proud of him.
I just wanted to have sex with him, like, one time.
Oh, (bleep)!
Wow!
Jojo? Are you okay?
Goodbye.
All right, say no more.
I'm just-- I can't even-- I don't even know
what to say right now, 'cause this is just horrible.
All the way around the board, this is horrible, horrible, horrible.
The next scene you're about to see
is when you get in a room full of legends
and you start having a whole bunch of drinks.
What it good, B? Hoping it is what it should be.
It's your boy, N.O.R.E.
What up, it's DJ EFN.
And it's "Drink Champs," mother(bleep) happy hour.
Make some noise!
Hey!
(cheering, air horn blowing)
On this show, we celebrate our legends.
So, this is what we gonna do today.
We are celebrating Trick Daddy,
20-some-odd years.
(cheers)
Dang, my hair was super (bleep) up in that scene.
How did nobody say nothing the whole time?
She's very, very, very sexy,
and she looks like she doesn't have any hair
nowhere on her body, which is what I like.
Come here, baby. Come here.
(N.O.R.E.) Okay, okay, let's make some noise.
(cheers and applause, air horn blowing)
Veronica Vega! Veronica Vega, come on.
You gotta take a shot with us.
Yeah, come on, to-- to your bike ride.
Thank you, cheers.
And to you doing what you gotta do.
Salud, mm.
Now...
(coughing)
Holy crap.
You okay?
I don't remember what we were drinking,
I just know it tasted like gas,
or like what gas smells like.
Bellini, mimosa.
I'm-- I'm more of a brunch drinker.
Where's the music at?
I'm signed to Polow da Don,
I've been signed to him for some time now.
I have a new record that I'm putting out.
And where are you from originally?
I'm from here.
Oh, from Miami.
I'm from Miami.
What part of Miami?
Hialeah.
Okay.
Hialeah, (bleep). When I hear you talk,
I can tell you from the hood.
He brought me out here 'cause y'all misunderstood.
That's because with girls with stuff in Miami,
it's not real no more.
No, you know, it's (bleep) up right now.
Yeah.
You said-- you said...
Amara "Na Lega" extensions...
No, no, no, no!
Extensions was fake?
No, no, no!
What did he call her?
(laughing)
This is a wig.
This is a wig.
Me and her had a debate, girl who betrayed me.
Show us the real you!
Y'all cool now?
Not yet.
Not yet?
What is the last thing you want the people
to remember you about? What is the last thing--
That I rep Miami and I stand for the truth,
and I feel like that's what Miami stands for,
it's what's real and what's true,
and that's what the (bleep) I am.
I am the truth.
I think if I had a podcast, it'd be about sex, honestly.
It'd be about all the things
that we probably don't talk about on a daily basis.
This your girl, Miami Tip.
Welcome to another episode of Big Booty Hos and Tip.
I mean, it would be dope
if we all drank and we talked about sex.
I feel like everybody would tell the truth
about what they really wanted, and I think that
that's why people have such a bad time in bed,
because nobody's really honest with what they like.
One, two, three.
(all) Aww!
(laughter and cheering)

Killer Mike Explains Why the Hells Angels Have White Gang Privilege - Duration: 6:16.
-Our next guest is an activist, Grammy-winning rapper,
and half of the hip-hop duo Run The Jewels.
He hosts the Netflix show
"Trigger Warning with Killer Mike,"
which is streaming now.
Let's take a look.
-It turned out the majority of these folks
weren't as closed-minded as I feared.
If you like Sinatra, you'll love Jay-Z and Biggie.
-Jay-Z. -Oh, Jay-Z.
-All right, yeah, Jay-Z and Biggie --
-Okay. -If you like Sinatra,
Jay-Z and Biggie are your guys. -Yeah, those are your guys.
-And I knew right then, I was definitely adding
some old folks' homes to my next tour.
But I also realized that there was an opportunity
to do more than just line my pockets.
See, the problem in America today --
everyone's in their own little bubble.
-Please welcome to the show Killer Mike, everyone!
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
♪♪
Welcome to the show. -Thank you for having me.
-I am so happy to have you.
The show is fantastic. -Thank you.
-You set out to sort of tackle society's problems
in a very unique -- from your perspective.
-Yeah. -This was -- you were basically
rapping at an assisted living center...
-I was. -To teach people
who maybe had never been introduced to rap before
what it actually is. -Yeah.
You got to build bridges and not burn them.
And the fastest-growing age group is 65 and up.
You know? -Yeah.
-I'm -- I'm figuring, man,
those Sinatra fans need somebody to rock with.
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
And did -- And it must -- I mean, you know, there --
What I like about the show
is there's a real warmth to the way you approach it all.
And it strikes me that, more often than not,
you're getting that warmth back. -Yeah.
I think that that's the way the world really works, right?
On Twitter, everyone's a superhero or supervillain
and they hate each other
and they get to yell at each other and scream.
These are the same people
who see each other at the grocery store and say,
"Excuse me. Could you pass me the milk?"
-Yeah. [ Laughter ]
-My -- My theory is, the more individual contact you have
with people who don't look like you,
who are not of your class
and not of your race, sex, or religion,
the greater the chances
of building friendships and empathy through that
and then taking that into the greater world.
So what I do -- [ Cheers and applause ]
-Mm. -[ Laughs ]
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
So...
[ Cheers and applause continue ]
[ Applause continues ]
Now, everyone send me $5.99... [ Laughter ]
...to my Cash App. -But you actually did this --
you did -- you put together a super group.
-I did, of people that --
of dramatically polarized ideals, right?
Everyone -- -And this was a band?
-This was a real band. This was the real leader
of Black -- Black Lives Matter Greater Atlanta.
This was a real nationalist --
you know, people would call them a white nationalist.
I think he's just a poor white guy
who needs a club to belong to. -Yes.
[ Laughter ]
-And I put them together
for everyone to throw their perspective on one song.
Now, the ultimate -- what you -- what you hope is,
either everyone gets along
and builds interpersonal relationships
and a grander thing happens.
At worst, they're the worst group ever
and everyone hates them, and we're united by hate.
-Right. [ Laughter ]
Very smart. -[ Laughing ] Yeah.
-So, you figured it out from both sides.
-Yeah. -You also talked about
how white gangs -- there's white gang privilege.
-There is white gang privilege, right?
-Explain that real quick.
-That means, if -- if I'm a Hells Angels member,
I have already incorporated myself
and I can sell merchandise, right?
If I'm a Crip or a Blood, I'm still illegal
and I can't sell Crip and Blood bandanas.
-Yeah. -I would I like to invoke
some type of white gang/black gang
mentorship program where... [ Laughter ]
-Yeah. -...where --
But I really did take four brothers --
Newny, Yayo, Murdo, and AC.
I took these four young men who are members
of a street fraternity that we know as the Crips --
which started as Community Revolution in Progress, right?
And I took these young men and said,
"Hey, let's try to start a legitimate business
and legitimize what you're doing."
One of them already has a legitimate business.
The guy Yayo has Cash Crop Clothing
that he already sells.
He already has some retail experience,
but he hadn't had the experience of getting a loan
and things of that nature.
So, the guys decided
to start a soda company... -Yeah.
-...because soda has killed far more people than any gang.
[ Laughter ] -And -- And there you go.
It's Crip Co-- Crip-a-- -Crip-a-Cola.
-Crip-a-Cola. [ Laughter ]
There you go. It takes the edge off it.
-[ Laughing ] Yeah. -Yeah.
[ Cheers and applause ] [ Laughs ]
You -- You -- A lot of the show is challenging ideas we have...
-Yes, yeah. -...for people inside bubbles
or just things that --
even people outside of bubbles have --
although I would argue everybody's in a bubble.
But... -[ Laughs ]
-...you -- were you like this always?
Were you like this in school?
-I was always curious. I was always rebellious.
My oldest friend since kindergarten --
he saw the show, laughed hysterically,
looked at my pitiful life, and said,
"He's been like this this whole time."
[ Laughter ]
"There's no changing -- no chance of him changing."
You know what I mean?
I have always challenged the status quo.
I've always asked "Why?" and "Why not?"
And I always thought that made me special
until my 11-year-old did the same thing to me.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah, you got four kids, right?
-Yeah. Yeah. -You got four kids.
-Yeah. -And so, they're --
they're turning out to be just like you?
-And that's not a good thing. -Yeah.
[ Laughter ]
Well, now you know what your wife's like,
'cause you got to live with one of you now.
-Exactly. -Yeah. [ Laughs ]
-So, Malik, Aniyah, Pony Boy, Mikey, I love you guys.
-That's great. I'm glad to hear they're watching.
You... [ Cheers and applause ]
You were a supporter -- an early supporter of Bernie Sanders
in the last election. -Yeah.
Still a friend of his.
Where do you take him to lunch here?
-The OG. This is Busy Bee's.
I was gonna take Bernie to another restaurant,
and my wife, in classic Southern black wife speak said,
"You ain't taking that man to no white folks' restaurant."
[ Laughter ] "He wants the black vote,
you're gonna take him to a black restaurant."
So we went to Busy Bee's,
which was a restaurant my grandfather used to take me to,
and all of Atlanta goes there.
And I think he had baked chicken, I had fried chicken,
and we both had cornbread and greens.
-You also took him to a barber shop -- correct? --
but he did not get a haircut.
-Well, he rocks -- he rocks what we call the classic Bernie 'fro.
-Yeah. -So, you don't -- you don't --
you don't need the classic Bernie 'fro cut as much.
It's just comb forward a lot.
[ Laughter ] -Yeah.
Also, very exciting --
Run The Jewels has a new album coming.
-"4." We're gonna --
-"4"? -Yeah.
-What -- Can you tell us anything about it?
-It's gonna feel like the most frigid of New York days
and you're walking out of Katz's with a pastrami sandwich
and someone punches you in your face.
-That is... [ Laughter ]
What an incredible review. I can't wait.
-[ Laughs ] -I can't wait to listen.
-Thank you. -Hey, man, thank you so much
for being here. -Thank you, Seth.
-Congrats on the show. -I appreciate it.

Claire Adam's Siblings Were Nervous About Her Novel - Duration: 6:36.
-Our next guest tonight is a very talented author
whose beautiful debut novel "Golden Child" is available now.
Please welcome to the show, Claire Adam, everyone.
[ Cheers and applause ]
♪♪
♪♪
Hi, Claire! Welcome!
-Oh, thank you so much for having me.
-This book is -- it's beautiful.
It is -- There are parts of it that are very exciting.
It is haunting.
It takes place in Trinidad. You are from there.
-Yes.
-I've heard you say that it is inspired a bit by,
obviously, your upbringing there. How so?
-Yeah, I mean, it sort of overlaps just a little bit
with my family stories.
So, I was born in Trinidad.
And I lived there until I was 18.
I was the youngest of four kids.
And so, when I was growing up there,
it was sort of during the '80s and '90s.
And we were having a recession in Trinidad at the time.
So a lot of people were trying to emigrate.
So, amongst my family, we were all quite smart, quite academic.
So, like, I guess my parents sort of had this idea for us
that we would all go to universities in North America.
And so, yeah, we just had to work very hard and study
and get into these great schools and hopefully get scholarships.
-Education does serve as sort of the escape
for these children in this book. -Yeah.
-And it also is a sort of oppressive idea of, like,
having to succeed enough to achieve that escape.
How did your -- your mother is Irish?
-That's right.
-And your father is from Trinidad.
How did they meet?
-Yeah, so, they were both doctors.
My mom had come from Ireland and my dad from Trinidad.
And they were both working in a hospital together.
I think it was in Nottingham.
And so, in the doctors mess room, they were playing cards.
Like, I don't know if they're looking after patients or what.
So, I think romance happens in these places.
-How do they feel about having --
two doctors having a writer for a daughter?
-Yeah, I think they're quite excited.
Like, we all kind of did science.
So, I did science originally. I did physics.
And my siblings all did science as well.
Yeah, so, I did the physics at college and then, you know,
physics was very hard.
And I had always sort of had this idea of writing as well.
So, after I finished college,
you know, I thought, "Okay, I think now is my time."
-And your siblings -- is it true your siblings were nervous
when they heard you were writing a book?
-Well, a little bit, because they knew it was set in Trinidad
and they knew it was about these, you know,
kids who have to work very hard and they're sort of looking for
their ticket out and the scholarship,
and each of them were like, "Is it about me?"
And I was like, "No, no. It's gonna be okay."
And they were like, "Oh, my gosh."
And so actually, I didn't let them read it
until I was kind of -- until I sort of had the --
-It was too late. -Exactly.
[ Laughter ]
You're like, "Sorry, it already came back from the printer.
What are you gonna do?"
-Yeah, that's right.
-And you ended up going to Brown.
And you said you were the youngest.
And your parents were a little over the idea
of moving their kids into dorms?
-Yeah, well, so it was -- I mean, I was the youngest.
You know, my mom went with my brother and dropped him off
at college, and this is, like, a flight from Trinidad,
so it's a whole big deal, and then she went with my sister
and then she went with my other sister.
And then when it came time for me, she was like,
"Just go. You can handle it." [ Laughter ]
So, yeah. Actually, one of my older sisters took me along
and kind of dropped me -- "Okay, there's where you kind of
go to the bank and that's where you put in some paperwork.
Okay, see ya."
-Coming from Trinidad to Rhode Island,
I imagine first time you saw snow?
-That's right, yeah.
You know, in Trinidad, obviously,
we're a tropical island.
You know, our temperatures are like 30 degrees Celsius,
whatever that is in Fahrenheit.
So you know, I had never seen snow before.
And, so, yeah, that was one of the really exciting things.
I think it was -- I suppose it would've been
November or December the time it first happened.
But yeah, I made friends with a couple of people
from the tropics and when it first started to snow,
we all went out in our pajamas and did, like, our snow day.
We're, like, taking pictures. [ Laughter ]
So, yeah. So it was good fun.
-I'm sure most of the people in Providence, Rhode Island,
was like, "Who are these lunatics?"
-I know. [ Laughter ]
But for us it was exciting.
-Sarah Jessica Parker has been on the show
talking about she has her own imprint with Hogarth,
which is the publisher,
and you guys had been doing a lot of press together.
And I heard that the part that makes me nervous
is not being around her.
What's the worst part?
-Well, she is just so warm and lovely.
-Yes. The best. -She is lovely.
But, you know, she is a very stylish and fashionable lady.
And you know, us writers, we don't get out very much.
[ Laughter ]
I wear, like, my pajamas. Coffee stains.
I'm like, "Oh, my God."
So, you know, I sort of did quite a lot of shopping
before I came on this trip.
I mean, this is my best effort, guys.
[ Laughter and applause ]
-There's a real balance in this book.
Reading it, there was part of me that wanted to go to Trinidad.
You obviously write about how beautiful it is.
But it also -- you know, as you mentioned,
this takes place in a really fraught time.
There is this threat of violence that hangs over the book.
Is that a thing that is hard to balance when you're writing?
Or does it just come naturally because you were there?
-Yeah. I mean, you know, when I --
I had a perfectly easygoing childhood.
We kept our doors unlocked and like, you know,
people moved around very freely.
But it is one of the features of life in Trinidad.
I mean, people work
and they go to school and they do everything normally.
But yet there is this sort of, you know, quite violent crime
that sort of happens side by side with everyday life.
So, yes.
I mean, I guess when I was writing,
I was trying hard not to sort of sensationalize it.
I didn't want it to be like, this is some kind of war zone.
It's not a war zone.
You know, it's one of these things
that people have to deal with in their everyday lives.
-I'm always interested about this part of the process
because this is a book that as it races to its conclusion,
as a reader, I was very much, you know,
turning each page wondering what was going to happen.
Did you -- when you set out,
did you know what was going to happen?
Did you know how your book was gonna conclude?
-I mean, I did know some of the big brush strokes.
Like, I sort of new the big ending.
But lots of things I had to work out along the way.
Like, I knew the father, Clyde, very well.
I had a very clear picture of him.
But all the other characters
I had to sort of write to discover.
Like Paul -- So, there's twin boys.
There's Peter and Paul, and Paul is the one
who is less sort of recognized by his father
and, you know, perhaps not his father's favorite.
And so Clyde sort of overlooks him.
And I think I kind of overlooked him too when I was writing.
So he was the one who kind of came last when I was writing.
-Well, I'm happy to say, you definitely figured it out.
And I really enjoyed the book.
And thank you so much for being here. Such a pleasure.

How to Dice an Onion - Duration: 4:01.
- Hi, I'm Jerry James Stone,
and in today's video
I'm gonna show you how to dice an onion.
Now before I get into that, I just have to talk a little bit
about the shirt that I'm wearing.
I recently crossed 100,000 subscribers on YouTube.
Thank you everyone who watched.
And this is the very first shirt
that I wore for my very first video six years ago.
So, that's pretty cool.
A little bit of history.
Two things, awesome for crossing the 100,000 subscribers,
secondly I might need to go shopping,
'cause clearly all my clothes are old.
But today I'm gonna show you how to dice an onion.
("Dio e Zingaro" by La Municipale Balcanica)
So we're gonna get into dicing an onion.
So there might be a little bit of confusion around that,
because sometimes you see a recipe
that calls for diced onions,
sometimes you see for chopped onions,
and what's the difference between the two?
Well in the chopped onion segment
there's three different levels.
There's a large chop, which is about a 3/4 inch cube.
There's a medium chop, which is a 1/2 inch cube.
So there's a small chop, which is about 1/4 inch cube.
Now the thing is is with a small chop and diced,
those are used pretty interchangeably
because they're really the same size.
A diced onion is about 1/4 inch cube as is a small chop.
So if you see that in a recipe, now you know,
that's the difference.
So to start, let's take a look at the onion.
There's the root side of the onion
and then there's the actual stem of the onion.
We're gonna chop off that stem
and then cut the onion in 1/2.
(swooshing)
(moves into slow music)
So I have my peeled onion here.
Like I said, this is a small chop or a diced onion.
We're just gonna take the knife and we're gonna cut
1/4 inch slices along the onion.
Very carefully.
(chopping)
The benefit of leaving the root on right here
is that it holds the whole onion in place.
The next thing we're gonna do is we're gonna take our knife
and we're gonna cut perpendicularly to those slices.
That way when we chop the onion,
it just easily falls off in nicely formatted cubes.
So just put a couple of slices in there.
(swooshing)
And as you can see, one piece already fell out.
But then just take your knife and
(chopping) cut it off,
a slice at a time
and you get nice, even
dices, slices, cubes, lots of things.
But as you can see, it's real simple.
Now when you get to the end of the onion
this is the tricky part.
You definitely wanna not hurt yourself.
You can do that by taking the onion
and just flipping it back over,
then kind of repeating the same thing that you did.
Just cutting off those ends
and getting those last little bits.
Easy as pie, or onion.

Int'l media report on life of late sex slavery victim and activist Kim Bok-dong - Duration: 1:42.
Kim Bok-dong, a survivor of Japan's wartime sex slavery fought for human rights and demanding
reparation from Tokyo untill she passed away.
News of her death on Monday resonated around the world, with various media outlets honoring
her courage and dedication bringing justice to victims like her.
Park Hee-jun reports.
The death of 93-year-old Kim Bok-dong, a victim of sexual slavery by Japan during World War
II and later a human rights activist,... is also getting attention from outside the country.
New York Times wrote that Kim had been a "prominent representative" of comfort women since the
early 1990s,... and described her as "one of the most outspoken, persistent campaigners"
who helped bring international attention to the issue of wartime sexual slavery.
The AP and the Japanese daily The Mainichi chronicled her life devoted to justice.
They said Kim traveled around the world and participated in weekly demonstrations demanding
a sincere apology and compensation from the Japanese government.
Reuters and Channel NewsAsia also covered the story,... with headlines using Kim's parting
words to her fellow activists -- "fight until the end."
American broadcaster NBC also reported Kim's death.
The executive director of the Korean American Forum of California told NBC that by remembering
Kim's courage,... "women are empowered" and activists are a step closer to achieving justice.
Julie Tang, a former San Francisco judge and co-chair of the Comfort Women Justice Coalition,...
said Kim was a "legendary historical figure."
According to NBC, both groups will hold memorials in California on Sunday... to show solidarity
in the fight to bring justice to the comfort women.

Political wrangling intensifies over governor's prison sentence - Duration: 2:11.
The divide between political parties widens, following the sentencing of Gyeongsangnam-do
Province governor Kim Kyoung-soo.
The democratic party launched a committee that will look into the ruling to see if there
are any contradictions,... while the main opposition carried out a protest infront of
the presidential office.
Kim Min-ji has the latest.
Wrangling between the parties has intensified after the sentencing of Gyeongsangnam-do Province
Governor Kim Kyoung-soo.
The ruling Democratic Party, with which Kim is affiliated, launched a special committee
on Thursday to deal with the aftermath.
The party said the ruling was retaliation... for efforts by the ruling party and the government
to reform a judiciary plagued by influence peddling.
"We will work with lawyers to thoroughly analyze the ruling and see if there are any contradictions,...
and will also continue to push to reform the judicial branch to curb the abuse of power."
Kim was sentenced on Wednesday to two years in prison for allegedly colluding with a blogger
to manipulate the number of likes on online comments to benefit the Democratic Party ahead
of the 2017 presidential election.
Kim had been considered a strong possible candidate for the presidency -- and was a
close aide to President Moon Jae-in, having served as his spokesperson during his presidential
campaign.
As widely expected, the conservative opposition is stepping up its offensive.
The Liberty Korea Party held a protest in front of the presidential office,... claiming
that someone higher up must have known about the online influence campaign, and asking
whether the presidential office was aware of it.
"This was a serious instance of illegal election campaigning that badly damaged our democracy.
We cannot help but question the legitimacy of the last presidential election."
The divide among the parties is expected to deepen... as Kim filed for an appeal on Thursday
-- paving way for another long legal battle.
The Blue House has remained pretty much tight-lipped on the situation,... but warned of stern action
if there is any attempt to make an issue out of the presidential election's outcome.
Although Kim Kyoung-soo could still be exonerated,... if the higher courts uphold the ruling, Kim
will lose his seat as governor and will be banned for running for elections for the next
five years.

I HATE WHEN PEOPLE QUOTE THESE STATS! (not the 2 you think) - Dreams Around The World - Duration: 7:12.
Hey Dan here and in this video I want to share two statistics that drive me
freaking nuts when I hear people talk about them and I think have a really
negative effect on society now if you're new here I'm Dan this is Dreams Around
The World and generally I make videos about becoming your best self and
creating the most awesome life possible in this video I want to talk about two
statistics that I think the way they're shared and the way they're talked about
do hold people back and stop them from creating the most awesome life possible
the first one is this one you've probably heard is 9 out of 10 small
businesses fail this is something that's thrown around a lot often for no real
purpose often to discourage people of starting a business 9 out of 10 fail and
of course the way most people think is like oh well now I know 10 that's gonna
be me and of course entrepreneurs think 1 out of 10 boom this will be easy and
go for it so maybe it isn't that bad but here's
the problem with that stat um what drives me nuts about it is those sort of
statistics are just looking at an overall population right there were this
many businesses started and this many fail and I think the 9 out of 10 is
within like 10 years it's not the first year or something like that
but the thing with that is how many jobs does the average person get so the
person thinking about starting their own business who's saying all nine out of
ten fail how many of their jobs have they done for life probably none of them
if they're thinking about starting their own business right you do a job you
might work it for two or three years and then you change to another job does that
mean you failed at the first job what about relationships what are some sudden
high-note of 10 relationships fail well yeah that's kind of what dating is you
go through a relationship and then you find the best one for you or you get
desperate in your mid-30s and then you settle down and you have your successful
marriage I'm going to talk about marriage in a second by the way then you
have your successful marriage in that is we don't look back and maybe you do say
those were failed relationships but you never say I'm not gonna have a
relationship because 9 out of 10 of them fail that would be stupid and so yeah
probably a lot of businesses who fail but a big part of that is getting in a
business for yourself is a learning curve the same way plane
sport or getting a job and finding the right job for you or finding the right
relationship or person for you is also a learning curve so I really hate that
that statistic is thrown around because I think for a lot of people they look at
it as if 9 out of 10 fail that means 9 out of 10 entrepreneurs fail and never
succeed as an entrepreneur and I think that is probably very untrue I'm sure
that there are entrepreneurs who succeed in 10 out of 10 of their businesses and
there are people who maybe fail in the first one or two and then their third
hits and I know there are people who fail in their first 10 and business
number 11 is are successful in either way looking at the statistics like that
like nine out of ten are failures I think it's a really dangerous way of
doing it now as I said fortunately most entrepreneurs we're a little crazy so we
see a stat like that and they nine out of ten fail either I'll be the one or
all right I'll start 11 businesses boom I'm guaranteed to make it work
the second statistic that's worth thinking about is around marriage though
this varies a lot by country but there's a statistic you hear a lot in North
America that is 50% of marriages fail yes but not 50% of people who get
married end up divorced a lot of those statistics are skewed by people who get
divorced two three four times usually the lawyers who are actually doing the
divorces have the highest divorce rate as it would be but that creates a really
distorted view right the number of first marriages that fail is not 50% it's
lower I don't know what it is similarly and maybe depressing if you're in this
situation if you're going into your third or fourth marriage the odds of
your marriage failing statistically not necessarily for you personally are
higher than someone going into their first marriage because perhaps perhaps
there is some kind of a pattern there now all the statistical stuff aside
another thing that bugs me about this is that it really can discourage people who
would otherwise be hopeless romantics who would jump into marriage of doing so
because they'll look at those numbers and say I can't beat that and I did
another video on this where I was talking about the overall approach to
life and about thinking okay I want to design an incredible life for myself I
want to do things differently than most people so why would marriage not be the
same right but at least for me these sort of statistics always threw me off
or I was like that does not sound appealing 50 percent basically that
means every marriage fails ever and it's a hopeless institution so why am i
spending a video ranting about two of these statistics because I'd like to
encourage you to think more about the statistics you hear there's a lot of
other ones out there that I won't bring up because I don't need those kind of
debates in my comments that are often misquoted and used to either hold people
back or start fights or make points and the truth is statistics tend to be quite
complicated especially if you haven't studied statistical analysis or
something like that but fortunately you do get forced to study in most
first-year psychology programs but whether you are an emotional person or a
highly logical person there's no way that the statistics you hear don't
change your opinions and form attitudes towards things in life whether it is
starting your own business or travel or marriage and I think it's really really
important to be aware of that and start to filter the things coming in one way
to filter statistics from stopping them from really penetrating your brain and
influencing you too much is to actually break them down and get into the details
like why is this the case and analyze what is actually going on but behind the
statistics another thing you can do is look for positive examples that disprove
the rule say 80% of marriages fail say that was true but you really wanted to
get married you know what I would spend my time on finding those 20% people who
have a happy good marriage okay maybe that's 10 percent of marriages that stay
so finding that 10 percent and learn from them and find out what they did to
make it work don't look at that 80 percent and say I can't do it look at
the small group that's making it work and then learn from them and then just
decide that is how my life is going to be so there's definitely value in big
picture in looking at statistics or numbers over countries or over the world
to understand how things work but please please don't let them decide for you
what's possible for your own life start with what you really want and then work
backwards and figure out how to do it and if you take that approach it almost
guarantee you're going to have a a lot higher chance of succeeding than
whatever those kind of government numbers will tell you thank you for
watching if you're new to the channel consider subscribing and if you do
subscribe hit that Bell so you're notified of new videos
catch you in another video soon bye and so I hate that that statistic is
you

Carrasco, Perisic - The latest odds on potential Arsenal signings - Duration: 4:13.
Time is now running out for Unai Emery to bring in any new players to Arsenal this month
Denis Suarez, who the Spaniard previously managed at Sevilla, is set to arrive at the Emirates in the coming hours, while there could potentially be one more arrival through the door
Paris Saint-Germain's Christopher Nkunku could potentially be that man but it all depends on who the Ligue 1 champions sign before the deadline
Ivan Perisic and Yannick Carrasco have both been linked with a move to Arsenal, yet it looks unlikely either of these deals will come to fruition
However, things can change rather quickly on deadline day. But who do the bookies think will be an Arsenal player before the 11pm deadline? Ivan Perisic Linked with a surprise move to the Emirates over the weekend, it looks increasingly unlikely that he will be an Arsenal player come the deadline
The 29-year-old had handed in a transfer request to force a move but Inter Milan insisted that he could only leave on a permanent basis
Perisic is 3/1 with Sky Bet to join the Gunners before the deadline and odds-on at 2/9 to remain at the San Siro
Yannick Carrasco The Belgian international wants to return to Europe 12 months on from joining Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang
AC Milan are keen on luring the attacker to Italy and a move could well come to fruition before the deadline
However, Sky Bet still have the Gunners as favourites at 15/8 with Milan priced at 6/1
Ever Banega There was plenty of talk of Banega reuniting with Emery in the summer but it has been rather quiet this month
Paddy Power still believe the Argentine could join Arsenal before the deadline and he is odds-on at 1/2 to make the move
He is 9/1 to join a Chinese Super League club and 25/1 to seal a return to former club Valencia
Max Aarons The Gunners have suffered a defensive crisis in recent weeks with Hector Bellerin and Sokratis both facing spells on the sidelines
Stephan Lichtsteiner and Carl Jenkinson can fill in for Bellerin, while Norwich City's Max Aarons could potentially be an option
He is 9/1 to make the move on Thursday, although he is 11/10 to join north London rivals Spurs
Malcom The Brazilian is another player to have been linked with a move after falling out of favour at Barcelona
Heavily tipped to seal a move to the Premier League this time last year, the winger instead waited until the summer to move to the Nou Camp
Odds-on at 1/5 to remain with Barcelona, he is 6/1 to join Spurs and 7/1 to complete a move to Arsenal
