Hey friends and welcome back to my channel today. I have a massive massive haul Some things I've gotten a couple of not a couple of these to go last week I'll try to be as quick as possible. I'm gonna start with my happy planner stuff Try to remember what all did I get? Seasonal, okay, I think let me start with this. I have some more happy planner stuff But this was right here. I got the journaling stickers Well these journaling ones Also, I got this from this little sticker pad from Hobby Lobby, oh my god Last week was my first time a hobby lobby. I know strange never been because there's there's not one really close to me So I have to travel a little ways to go Well, I actually went over like one state which I'm on the border I live in Maryland and Virginia is like it takes me five minutes to get across the border But to the hobby lobby is like 20 minutes 25 tops with traffic So got this book and I kept wondering when everybody was getting a little lady sitting down drinking a water and all these beautiful Stickers and bang on here. It is and I went back today. So I said, let me just do a haul I wasn't gonna do a haul so I think I went back to Joe Ann's or either I got this from Hobby Lobby last week as well and I needed this and I'll tell you why later in an upcoming video, which will be up Also, I got these washi tape. This is not how they came I think these two came together and I've already kind of did my monthly and those Yeah, and then these four came together. I got this one mainly for the eyelashes and the little palm trees or banana leaves whatever you want to call it and This one I'm not well that came with a I think pen and gear and it came with I think these Then I got something from Miss Moss. I just went to the mailbox.   So I got another freebie card and we all have our zodiac sign So I'm a tourist and so I got the tourist Girl can't wait to put her in a planner and then I think this is the multi-sticker one Isn't that pretty? I'm not big on cartoony to me little people But I like that and this one. Oh, she's a couple of different ways and then I got her. She's making it rain I think I do that for my Saturdays her. She's taking a bath. Look at her. I love the way they're cut and Then this is I think the spring babe and I got her with brown hair So also Since I'm I got those out. I picked this up from Michael's last week as well. You all know I used the Dollar Tree sticker books and I still have that book, but I was running out of room. So I got me this to Put my dolls in pretty much and if I had more room I put other stuff in So I'm gonna throw this in there real quick. This is what I got from planner pixie co I'm pretty sure That by the time this video get up You will be able to see that I did a fobo Nietzsche And I did a collab with Anika's creative plans And so I have bought these and one of my planner babes for my meetup She gifted me a sticker set from planner pixie co the quality of the paper was so nice So I wanted to order some more things from her and being that I was doing the fobo Nietzsche. I just wanted to order some Hobo Nietzsche stickers. I ended up downloading some after the fact and realized they were kind of too small So I still may save these and use them and then here's this is just some little freebies And I may be saving this for a giveaway for my channel. So stay tuned for that Next up, I don't know who this is from. It just has someone's name Oh, it just has someone's name on it, but it's my name addressed to me and I'm assuming It's something planner related because I went on a spree oh I am so hot. I ordered this off of Amazon I just ordered this other day. So that came pretty fast. I wanted the black lady Tweezers y'all today I went to the hobby lobby in Virginia and then there was a Salis I said, let me go check this salad to see if they have them they had them But they didn't have the African-American women. So voila now I have the African-American women So now I have four of these so what I'm going to do I'm gonna just set up a little power for when I do my giveaway once I get to a certain amount of subscribers I'm not going to quite say yet once I get to a certain amount of subscribers. I'm going to Put one or two of these in a giveaway and it may be more than one Winner Okay, next up is some happy planner Today it was released on the site. I ordered but I ordered one in the morning I would have one package that morning so that came one I think Friday Thursday Friday and then the other one came today So I got this accessory book and I'm sure you all seen it. I've been waiting on these because I've been wanting to do some spreads So there's that And then this is the seasonal and I still feel like I'm missing I didn't get the dolls. Oh Here they go. I was gonna say what a doll is that? Oh, look at that. Wait me. I'm Okay So I can't wait to use this around Christmas look at that I may have to order another one. I hope that they keep this collab like forever and ever Amen.  I just pray that they keep it going because I think it would benefit both of them, but anyway, I like that so Something else. Let's see. What is this? Oh? Oh, yeah, that's what I wanted. So I'm testing out some new paper And I just knew this was I'm expecting for it to come in a package. It normally comes in I want to see if this is the correct paper. Oh, it is So I miss place place in order at online labels Last week at Hobby Lobby, I've kind of opened it a little bit, but I got the home extension pack I wasn't quite sure Um What I was going to do with it, I'm just I'm almost tired of setting up plans I've been setting up planners all week. So you won't see that many Playing with me's for this week because I've set up like two and it's time-consuming. So anyway, I got this Also, I got some felt some of it. I used but I'm gonna show you what I made with it So this is one extra piece that I had left and I picked this up from Joanne's And I made this a felt flower So it still has a little glue on it, but um, I'd never made a felt flower before I kind of made it for one of my planners excuse me, and um Yeah, so I just looked at one video I Already kind of had an idea how I wanted it to look But the more I look at it looks a little more Christmas-y like the flowers look like a point setter But anyway, this was my first felt flower and I wanted to make it into like to go on top of my Planner, but now I don't know What's her name? Shakisha at her lovely plan She really inspires me and I think it's because she's a hairstylist I'm a hairstylist and she someone I don't know made one for her planner And I actually got the exact same planner because I didn't know what color and what everything feels like So I'm basically getting planners what I've seen so I know what the texture feels like after making that huge mistake So but I don't think I'm gonna put this on there, but I just wanted to make it so I don't know I'll do something with it. So what else? still at Hobby Lobby today I Wanted the fun florals. I don't know remember who I saw do a Spread with it, but I was like, I'm loving it I definitely need it because I love to do the florals But this is my favorite page out of the fun florals and this page here This is like looks like it's not cherry blossoms, but it kind of looks like cherry blossoms to me And I love the quotes this be kind I Love that and the quotes and the flowers and I could just see spreads with those I love this bushella flowers here. I love those So I just said this was me it kind of spoke to me of course this because of course I have a planner like that and It just spoke to me I'm not really digging these flowers because they like look a little too too real, you know I want a little bit of animated animation to it. Okay So last week when I went I Thought I had a lot of money enough money. I'll say to shop but I didn't and Not as much as I thought so I was like I'm coming back and I went back today with a vengeance. So I picked up this little Ruler because a lot of times I have a wood ruler just a regular school ruler But sometimes when I'm doing things in my planner I needed something small and I had been looking and I just needed something small and cute and clear and So I can do some slices and some cuttings and measuring. So this is perfect. I didn't need anything big So here we go. I got I picked up some ribbon because I make bows and I'm gonna tell you I gotta be honest Joanns and Michaels they are slack like they're ribbon. They just have the same thing nothing fun And I hadn't seen this textured Ribbon there and I've been wanting one of these kind of this kind of texture bows. I was gonna make one So that's that I Picked up this little sticker book here Because even though I make be able to stickers for myself Like for my smaller planners, especially with my B6 now I'm going to start making some stickers for that for myself But I wanted these I don't need payday as you know, unless I get paid that reminds me I got paid from my posh last week I need to put that in my planner, but I Just wanted these stickers because they have some things in here That I like I'm just gonna do a quick flip through in case you haven't Seen it. Let me get a little closer So like has a reminder to do the budget. I Need that and this was what I mainly wanted wanted it for Because I like to add my totals at the end of the week and put them on you know Whatever day or each day put the totals there even though I can make these boxes. I just want it I can't put the rose. I mean the foil in it. Not yet. I'm looking into that What else did I like about this sticker book? These rose gold building stickers Okay, love them. So like I said, I don't have the falling yet. So in the meantime, I'm gonna use these and And I like this and that paid stickers great for me when I get paid from Poshmark So that's that then I picked up these and I have somewhere special I'm gonna put well, I can tell you because this is not gonna come out probably Till Thursday, but these are for my Fobonichi I picked these up and any of my planners because I was making them myself and I was just getting frustrated and They weren't sticking but I still need to stick something across there Now that I have my Okay, I'm all washy We're gonna take these out no more. I'm gonna know why she's been Because I don't need any more wash now last week These were 50% off and I had to leave a few behind but this was the main one I went back to get today because I Left it behind and I really like this because of course I have this Sticker book. I mean that sticker book a planner And I am a green fan. I just love green any color any color. It doesn't matter I'm just loving green and then this one and I thought that was pretty You know, I'm gonna have to clean my room. I'm gonna have to get like I probably have like four or five bags of trash Okay, and then I got this one. I love leopard as well So I kind of thought of a theme for this one I thought this would be nice with maybe some black and gold boxes and then this one came with it why I don't know they don't even remotely match but It kind of looks like that one so I could kind of use those two together So of course I've ran out of where to put my wash you some have to buy something else for that then I love bees I don't know why I just love bees and honeycombs and stuff like that. That's like people like unicorns. I like bees So I believe they're powerful in a lot of different ways. So I got this one You all excuse my nails is actually nail week, but I'm just trying to press it on out and Put it in my schedule Because I have just so much going on so I got this one and I really bought it because of the plants now That's another thing about me if you don't know I love plants, but I don't have a green thumb, but I love the plant plants I love to do a garden and everything always dies or get laid up. So but anyway, I just love granary. I love outside Okay, I love nature Then I got this one and I bought this one because I could just see some rose gold boxes I love pink as well pink and mauve new those are my jams. Those are my colors. That's just me I just love them. So and rose gold is my favorite out of the metallics So I got this and I could just see that in a nice spread I love black and white as well. So that was perfect. These two don't go together These two don't go together, but they still are good together.  So I got those from Hobby Lobby and they were $3.99 Oh, I'm still in Hobby Lobby. Oh And then here are my other two ladies that I got from Sally's But I need more than one because sometimes I'm planning on the go So you'll see this before the sale is over. They're having a 50% off sale off of their tabletop items anything that goes in a table. I also got a coffee mug That was 50% off, but look at that. That is so cute and I want to just put like paper clips in here my tweezers because sometimes Here's some tweezers paper clips Be my wash, you know this okay. I'm filling it up But you get the general idea and sometimes I just like to have these things in reach instead of just like Looking all over the place I'm gonna leave them here. And then if I want to do a flat lay picture design I want to be able to have that there like that and then I didn't need this but I thought of Photography and it's actually Like a paperweight But let me zoom out. It is a Jumbo paperclip and so it looks like that so we could do something like that A little washy Let me put this one in there like that and then take a picture. How neat is that? We freeze frame this This is a picture. So this is that hobby lobby and it was 50% off as well I just realized it had some scratches on it, but it's okay It'll be face down like that and how cute. Okay. I love it. Love it. Love it So that completes My haul there is some more stuff Let me see. Oh, I did get some more Inserts from the 1407 this is one of them. So it's already in my thing I'm gonna do a flip through because I have some more planning to do. I also got these from hobby lobby last week I've used these I want those to go in my one of them rather to go into my B6 to help me hold some pages together. I got that I guess like I said some more inserts I also picked up this little pouch from Michaels and You slide it in between your you know planner your travels notebook, but it's too big and I couldn't figure out It just hangs out So as you can see I wanted to design it and put a little piece of paper in there Decorative paper and I just really wanted that so I could Dip it and puts maybe money in it, you know carry as a wallet, but it's too big and I just Was wondering how I could cut it down, but I can't I just really can't so I mean, I don't know I'll figure out what to do with it and here's another one of those clear pockets So I can't wait to add that I got some people that reminds me I got paper and this is my other item I got from Yeah, I forgot all about these books y'all. I'm sorry This is what else I got from the Website was this book here, and I actually did a spread with this in my b6 Just playing with it just to see because I've never seen anyone use Though the happy plan of stickers in the b6 also I got a wellness But I didn't have a wellness and I chuckle because when I first started playing I was in this group I was just so excited. I didn't know what nothing was. I didn't know the name of books I just know it was happy planner and someone in the group asked me did they have a wellness at the warm I'm like, yeah, look at the front. It wasn't wellness. It was something else So I feel bad for lying and didn't know I was lying got this one from hobby Lobby. I've always seen people Pull out the sticker book, but I swear. There's was bigger I think I've already had simply lovely, but I picked up simply lovely probably within last week or so I picked up some more paper. Oh Also, I Did some planning upstairs. I got these washies and two of them are from the happy planner Right there. I picked up this paper. This is for my b6. I love glitz and glam and glitter. I picked up this one That's as well as for my b6 do some decorating And some more pink vellum that came from hobby Lobby as well All these sheets came from hobby Lobby even this one. So I love the material of that So that's gonna be an insert. How cute is that? This could actually be make a book If you wanted to make a b6 you can make it out of this is Cool and this is my b6.

Hi everyone, it's MJ the fellow Actree and in this video I want to show you my Pokemon collection which is going up for sale So if you're interested in any of these things, let me know but let's just start with I think the big gun I mean, let's just start off with Charizard and one of the reasons why I wanted to make this video is because I've put these on the internet and everybody wants to Know about the condition. So I'm gonna be honest with you guys I did use Charizard in my deck when I was playing as as a kid. So it's not mint It's not perfect, but you know, it's still it's still decent like it really is a very very nice card Let's move on quite quickly. Let's jump up to Pokemon card number two, which is going to be what is this called? Clefairy wasn't wasn't a fan of Clefairy in the Pokemon games. It is hollow. It's shiny All of these ones that I'm gonna be showing you now are from the base set So this is you know, this is what number something five out of a hundred and two And yeah, I didn't like Clefairy. So didn't really get you used that much in many of my decks So, yeah, very very good condition with that one over there In this one's a little bit of a favorite good old mu 2 Gain like I didn't really have a lot of psychic cards So didn't really get to play a lot with him, which is a good thing because he is in amazing condition And job, this is is mu 2 Unfortunately, all my cards do have a shadow. They're not first edition. I mean here in South Africa I don't think we got any first edition boxes because I was like one of the first kids to be like I need Pokemon and Yeah, we didn't really get Too many special things. Whoops. Okay, this card does have a little bit of wear and tear I remember trading for it So not the best condition probably the worst condition of my base set Pokemon cards and this is nine tails and Yeah, hopefully you can see it on the video. There is some scratches not the best condition and that is the nine tails Then we've got Doubling up. So those are all the hollows now. We're getting to just the the normal race. So we got two bedrills beautiful condition Yeah, so those are the little bedrills Then we have oh, I really liked this Pokemon. This was a dragon air Unfortunately, not holographic. It would have been so awesome if it was but job that is dragon air again quite Condition is It's not flawless.  They're decent Then yes, maybe go through these a little bit quicker. We've got electric bars and Electrode Yeah, again, both rare not not shiny So not hologram got the shadows and still in the base set divide about 102 then this oh This is gonna be a hard card to sell because this was the very first rare that I got in a booster pack And I remember being so upset because one it wasn't holographic and I thought all rares were supposed to be holographic And also I didn't have a piggy so I couldn't play with this card but this was So this is quite a lot of sentimental value behind behind the pidgeotto and I remember like even in the the anime Ash catches pidgeotto before he catches pidgey and I was like, oh my gosh anyway, let's quickly just show end of the The base set with some of the trainer cards that are rare. I know they're not as sort after I don't have less but yeah, we got four rare trainer poker cards for the base set. That's 102 Okay, let's now move on to some of the promo cards. I absolutely love this mu So yeah, this is mu. I only have one. I only have one of the beautiful mu Um, but I've got one mu and this is such a lame joke, but we're gonna do it and I've got two mu twos Sorry, I could not resist these ones have got this Kids wb present pokemon the first movie. It was I think it still is my favorite movie. I've got the dvd I remember watching it in the movie theater Absolutely amazing. So this is some of the the mu promo cards um We've also then got Two of the electro buzzers. It's interesting because like the internet kind of sees the promo cards as being rare I remember growing up and being like, oh these are these even pokemon cards? Like are they not like, you know What's what's their point? Uh, but yeah, we got some some dragonites um Apparently, I don't think dragonite was was dragonite in the original 150 or was it later on? I always we should have debates about that. I should just google that um Then this is little toga pee. So I've actually just completed pokemon sword And you can evolve this toga pee into something called togi kiss and it's just so overpowered like you just own the game But yeah, this is toga pee never really played with it Um, I think I traded someone because I actually don't remember how I came across that one then um Pikachu's I mean everybody loves pikachu's So this is the one type of promo card for for pikachu Again, all of these great condition Hardly used because even though everybody loves pikachu not the strongest card to include in in a deck um, but speaking about pikachu I've got a lot of these pikachu's like I've got a lot and I saw on the internet Someone was selling theirs for like 400 pounds. They're like super rare pikachu And I'm like white. This is like my most common card. So, yeah, we've got a lot of promo pikachu's and um, all perfect Perfect condition. Let's now go on to the jungle set where we have a shiny hollow pidgeot um, we've also got good old gangers con and Very very good condition. Um, maybe the gangers con slightly better than the pidgey The back you can see I think I used the pidgeot like I think eventually when I got it I was like, you know what I have to use because I wanted to use pidgeotto Um, but it was quite a weird one to use because pidgeot pidgeotto was also rare So it was hard to have two of him in your deck um, then let's look we've got I've got two vaporions um Really like this one and then also got evie's Other evolution types, which is the jolteon and the flareon Um, they're not hollow though. Unfortunately these two aren't hollow. These two are And perfect condition. Yeah, really really good condition these ones Then we've got two Two snorlaxes really good condition unfortunately not hollow and then wiggly tough and Clefable, which I remember being a kid. I was like, what is the difference? I can't tell the difference between those two pokemon And then yeah, everyone remembers good old snorlax blocking the way in pokemon. There's a pokemon yellow. Yeah I mean gosh, have you even got the old pokemon? cartridges as as well um ending up the jungle set we've got nido queen And we've got electro the like the inverse pokemon pokeball And yeah, really good condition as as well. So that kind of finishes up the jungle set of of the res I've got like a million of these cards that are not res like I mean just to just show you guys these are these are all base set um normals and commons and stuff like that like we got we got a lot too many um Let's move into the fossil characterization and we've got ditto It's probably the most confusing card to play because Yeah, try and explain that rules to a kid and it is absolutely insane. That's this this card caused a lot of fights Um, then we've got muck. I I have a shiny muck somewhere. And that's the thing is There's a whole bunch of pokemon cards like I've got a mack champ. I've got a blast toys I've got a hitman champ. I just can't find them. So this is very distressing Dragonite Yeah, such a lovely card. This one is hollow beautiful condition Really is a nice card. I've got hypno as as well and Had a pincer and a chancey that I actually sold yesterday along with a dark alakazam Speaking of the dark cards Let's look at some of the team rockets. So we've got yeah, just a nice little trainer Then we've got two dark garradoses. Um, also played pokemon sword with garrados very powerful pokemon Duck trio this I must say I really like the art of this one.  I think this was my brother's card. So If he's watching this video, he's gonna get quite a set job I think these are also his um, we've got a non-hollow Was this dark vulplume and a shiny one I was playing pokemon sword and I had gloom and it evolved into something else not vulplume But like a bella and I was I was very upset. It's very upset Uh, let's see what else we got in team rocket. We got a dark slow, bro Not on not hollow Then we've got this dark wheezing and I think it's shiny. I really It's really difficult to tell if this one's shiny or not because it's so slight Uh, but job, that's the dark wheezing Okay, then I've got quite a lot of uh Out of box. I don't know why I put that accent out. Um, this one unfortunately is bent. So this is probably the worst conditioned card that I have Corners a little bit bent over there. Um, that's yeah, that's not good at all Probably won't even put that up for sale because that's doesn't meet quality criteria then we have a Shiny hollow our buck and we have a normal non-shiny one over here um, like I say these two are Not also in perfect condition. This one's good. This one the non-hollow this one does have a slight A slight bend you probably find I I must have had a deck with our box in and that's why I These ones were quite useful. I've got a lot of eckons.  We've got a magnet on and we have gulp Golbat and yeah, these two are also really really nice condition And then I don't know how valuable these ones are. Um, so these are like the gym trainer cards and you know, you've got brock sand slash and Sabrina's ganga um There's another trainer card And then this better free. I'm not actually sure what series this is from because it's a little bit different So, yeah, these are just some I think this is when I kind of started stopped collecting Pokemon cards was at this series So unfortunately, none of them are holographic, but they are rare. They do have the little star Um, and this is like the gym training ones I must tell you guys a very sad story.  So I really I had a Charizard. It was beautiful. I think it was even one of the earlier Charizards I'm hoping it wasn't no, no, I don't think y'all so like I said, so that's good I don't think we got first editions, but I traded it for all of these fake cards and It's I really wanted right you absolutely loved right you growing up Zaptos was also one of my favorite legendary birds Um, completely got scammed, but you can tell that these are fake It's just the blurry the font at the bottom is really bad and like I say you've got this purple Purple coloring. So that is a sad story. I don't know like I think it's yeah, I don't think you can sell fake cards I should should burn that but they are a reminder that I am not as smart as I think I am and that you've got to be very very careful when Any yeah, I guess anytime you're making negotiations in business And I mean this is kind of like it for the rare cards. So these are just other cards that I've got I mean I've got various Pikachu's unfortunately. None of them have got the red the red cheeks We've got a lot of team rocket common Cards. Yeah, so these are like the non-res um Gosh, you can see this. There's a lot of them um And there's a little evie Angel lots and lots of uh, what is this the fossil set? So I actually like that art from that slow book looks beautiful So yeah, god lots and lots of these um So I don't know if there's much of a market for the common cards other than the rare ones But yeah, we do have so if you are looking for One to maybe make up your set Let me know we can we can make a deal. Yeah um What else haven't I showed you guys There's like a pack of cards here. I love butterfree. I can't believe butterfree is not a rare. It's just an uncommon What are these? Oh, these are all the the jungle The jungle commas and stuff like that Like I say, I really there's no Pikachu really hoping to find my other pokemon cards. Um There's a mac champ. There's a blastoise. There's a hitmon champ Um, and that's what I'm just remembering from all those many years ago Who knows what else there is but I'm Going through storage. This was the thing I moved from Joberg to Cape Town So put a lot of these cards in storage haven't looked at them But because it's the 25th anniversary, I thought, you know what? Let's get them out Let's have a look and um, yeah If if there's some good prices, then maybe maybe we sell them So if you are interested, let me know Also, I mean we got we got a lot of energy. I mean if your Pikachu needs some energy You know come chat to me Also same with the red ones Oh, I've also got Second edition. Yeah, these are also some Second edition. So they look similar to the base cards or the jungle cards or like these little squiddles But they divide it by 130 not by 102 So not necessarily I don't know that but look they're very good condition really really good Cards here Like I said, maybe let me just show you Very quickly the base cards and then we'll conclude this video. There's there's that Pidgey. Where's that Pidgey? That we could have used uh, but I mean, you know the condition of these cards. It's Really really is nice. That's why Just holding nice little gloves probably shouldn't be paging through them too quickly You just want to preserve them Amazing little specimens over here So, yeah, if you if you want any pokemon cards, um message me my email address. I think Should I use the work email address or my throwaway email address? Let's rather use the throwaway email address just in case I get too much spam Bayman1991 at gmail.com Um Yeah, hit me up and we can share prices and all that kind of stuff Like I say lots of lots of cards lots of cards for sale I'm gonna look at Kadabra and I'm sure I also had an Alakazam. Look at all these charm andes Yeah Okay, yeah, otherwise this video is gonna go for way too long. So let me let me end it off Um, wait, wait, wait, wait one last thing one last thing So kind of feel like we started with Charizard So we have to end off with Charizard and these are tops pokemon cards So not like the trading card where you could actually use them in a game But when you go on the internet somehow had Yeah, scary amount of value and these two are Perfect condition because never like played with them in any sort of card game So, yeah, if there are people looking for them I have them as well as actually a whole bunch of other cards in this series I've got a Bulbasaur and then a lot from numbers 75 to 150 basically Yeah, almost all of the ones from 75 to 150. I've got so if you are looking Let me know and we can sell those as well. Anyway, thanks so much for watching And yeah, hope you guys enjoyed my pokemon collection

In 1991, during Desert Storm Desert Shield, I was awarded the Navy League Award for exceptional leadership and bravery. In the aftermath of 9-11, I was sent to Afghanistan to take part in the deployment of an experimental vessel. I understood the need to go into Afghanistan to remove the Taliban and to find bin Laden. In February 2003, I entered Kuwait with First Marine Expeditionary Force in preparation for the ground war in Iraq. We were told the children would welcome us with flowers. Instead, they had grenades. I left Iraq in July 2003, not long after President Bush announced mission accomplished. While I was in Iraq, I never questioned my orders because if you do that in war, you get people killed. Upon returning to the States and reflecting on my own experience, I realized how misled we have all been about this war. There was no clear mission. The reasons why we were there kept changing. First, we were told there were weapons of mass destruction. There were none. Then they told us we were there to get rid of Saddam and fight terrorism. We captured Saddam, and we know that Iraq was not responsible for 9-11, but we're still there. Now they tell us we can't leave because we have to rebuild Iraq. As the invading and occupying power, the U.S. cannot be the force to rebuild the country we destroyed.  But not all wounds are visible. People who come back from war alive or with both arms and legs still have wounds that will always remain with them. I suffer from post-traumatic stress disorder, PTSD. In 2005, I entered a PTSD program at the VA hospital in Topeka, Kansas. I was the first Iraq war veteran to finish the course. Many of the Iraq war veterans, especially the younger ones, are not ready to seek help. All of the patients with me in Topeka were Vietnam veterans who have been suffering from PTSD for 30 years. I believe that a lot of the Vietnam veterans see similarities between this war and their experience in Vietnam and the tragedies of Iraq trigger their trauma. A whole generation of Vietnam veterans were never diagnosed or treated for their trauma, and many of them ended up living on the streets or in prison. If we are not careful in treating the veterans from this war, we risk seeing another generation follow that path. No one can say I am not a patriot. I served 24 years of active duty service, but it's time to bring the troops home. Tony wrote those words in 2006 on the third anniversary of the Iraq invasion.  Tony died on Veterans Day 2010 after years of struggling with the trauma of his war experiences. It doesn't have to be this way. We don't have to accept lives wrecked by the trauma of war as inevitable because we shouldn't be accepting war and violence as inevitable. They are not embedded in the roots of our acceptance of violence and injustice is the misguided belief that humanity is predisposed to this violence and predisposed to war. In our work at the Center on Conscience and War, the stories of military conscientious objectors serve as daily reminders and individual case studies that prove to us that humanity is naturally predisposed to peace. Our conscience tells us that cooperation with others is right and that injustice and violence against others is wrong. Remarkably, it might be the military who knows this better than those of us on the front lines of movements for peace and justice.  I also hear people say things like, oh, I could never join the military because I can't kill. Those people who join, they're different from me. They can kill.  I know this because I talk with them every day. I know this because I have seen the lengths the military goes through to turn ordinary individuals like us into killers. Look no further than basic military training. This is a science which has been expressly developed to circumvent the human conscience to teach service members to kill by rote to kill reflexively without thinking and without filtering through the conscience. Training to kill requires constant reinforcement. If killing was natural, it would come easily for us, be good for us and allow us to thrive. Hundreds of thousands of veterans struggling with the trauma of moral injury wounds to the soul caused by a transgression against the conscience are poignant proof of our tragic misunderstanding of our own nature. The inevitability of violence and injustice is a myth, a myth that persists at the hands of a media and government who choose to strengthen their own influence and harden their own power by sowing fear and division among our communities. A perfect example of this is right in front of us today. Among the many horrible and unspeakable stories coming out of Syria, there are also many that speak to the best angels of our nature. The one that fits here is the one about the hundreds of thousands of young men who are choosing to leave their homes, not out of fear for their lives, but for fear that they will be conscripted to take the lives of others. These young men are conscientious objectors and we should call them that, instead of letting the dominant narrative write their story for them and for us. The media tells us that the image of thousands of young men coming from the Middle East to the West should frighten us that these refugees are coming not to flee violence, but somehow to bring it with them. But the stories of these young men, these soldiers of conscience, tell a different tale. They are coming to the West not to hurt us, but so that they don't have to hurt anyone else. One man in Turkey who has been aiding Syrian refugees puts it this way. Young men have to decide before they reach military age, either to leave or learn to kill. Surely it is better that they leave, he asks. The simple and scientific truth is that morality against war and violence is inherent in who we are. Consistently, we actively choose cooperation and kindness, and by default, we reject conflict. Don't believe me. Look around you. And then please tell the story of your witness. Thank you.


What's good with y'all it's your boy Ross back at it again with another video so I Just checked out the match between Brock Lesnar and Cain Velasquez at crown joke Yes, not crown jewel crown joke because this whole Situation where crown jewel is a joke to me. It's a glorified house show None of these matches really matter in my opinion. I could be wrong But most of these matches don't matter and then they have another pay-per-view. They got a build towards within the next few weeks I think it's survival series. I'm not even sure. I think it is survival series, but I did watch this match I really kind of lost height for this match I didn't even talk about the the Brock Lesnar attack on Raymond cereal son again And on came last because I need to talk about that that happened this past weekend past week on a Friday night SmackDown, but um, I Wouldn't really hyped about this match and the fact that they put this match on this WWE Championship match on as the very first match of the show Kind of let me know how the rest of the show was gonna go match wasn't really that long We're gonna get into it. We're gonna kind of watch it towards the end. It was like towards the end of the match Where came the last kids finally ends up losing. I'm gonna give my thoughts and opinion as As we go through it together, man But once I saw this I didn't really care to see anything else that the show had to offer because this was probably maybe the only match I cared to see and Even on that level it wasn't just like oh, this is a must-see for me You feel me? So I'm gonna give my thoughts and opinions on this this joke of a match this joke of a Title shot this whole situation is I feel like it was definitely rushed and We all know why this happened This match didn't feel like a wrestling match. This felt more like a UFC style match. I mean it makes sense. They're both UFC guys but still That was cool Them punches is not looking good They're looking very soft. I We didn't even see the tap out like it doesn't the camera angle never showed the tap out So I didn't know if he tapped a nine to the ref said something. This is supposed to be Brock Lesnar's vindication From getting From getting his ass whooped All those years ago, this is supposed to be his vindication his Redemption so he's holding on to Camora Camorra lock even after the match is over Great great stuff He ate that chair shot like a champion God damn Ray is just just so small compared to Brock Jesus. He got some nice as kicks on I don't know what kicks those are but Ray got some dope kicks See their building that up like that They came conqueror, bro They both got a pretty good payday out of this. So this was pretty cool This was cool God damn he was eating them chair shots, bro He was eating those He was eating them chair shots Even though Ray's arm supposed to be broken and he's in a sling.   All right We're not even gonna go watch the rest of that. Uh, yeah You can tell by my facial expression.  It's a big payday for both Kane and Brock Lesnar. It's a big payday, man These these Saudi shows They got a multi-year contract. I think it's like a eight to ten year contract with them. So they go twice a year Basically, it's it's a lot of money. They're paying them a lot of money to do these shows and this exactly why this match happened These are why these shows supposed to have a WrestleMania feel but with no build They're gonna put the best stars. They're gonna overload it with nostalgia acts stars on top of stars big matches Matches that make no sense fused that make no sense because they're just there to sell a glorified house show aka crown joke Yeah, I didn't care for this match Like I said, if this was built up for a WrestleMania match Yes, I definitely probably would have cared for it a lot more but this wasn't built up for this This was really built up with three weeks of build four weeks to build that best It was cool seeing the Dominic stuff that was dope But like I said, this could have been built up and saved for a WrestleMania match Anybody watching this show knew came Alaska's was not about to win the WWE championship on this first go around He wasn't about to win. We know why this happened, you know, I'm saying we know why they put this match on and We get this was a selling point It's it was the first match on the show and she'll let you know it was nothing was about to happen with this match No major outcome was gonna come from this and this really set the tone for me not Giving a goddamn about the rest of this damn show. I don't care Comment down below what are some other matches?  Oh, I forgot the fiend versus Seth Rollins That matches a post that's supposed to be on this show. I may check that out just to see how they f this up I'm gonna drop this video first and there's a good chance. I'll probably check out that match as well So maybe there'll be another video where I'm talking about Them possibly effing this match up that match up because I'm sure I'm sure I'm willing to bet haven't seen no spoilers yet I'm sure they messed it up. I'm willing to bet they've missed that match up and Seth Rollins is probably still gonna be a universal champion, so I'll definitely check that out for you guys. So be on the lookout for that video But let me get this done so I can get this out to you guys I appreciate all the love and support crown joke is a joke and I'm just looking forward to war games and full gear by EW because those are the the shows that seem like they're gonna be there's gonna be some quality wrestling This one is just it's whatever this match whatever, but appreciate y'all kicking it with me. I'll see y'all on the next one. Peace


So you've never used 3D before, but you want to have fun posing the doll like a pro. Not a problem. Real quick, I've updated the doll an hour ago to give it some options to run smoother on slower computers. I've also included a text file that explains the timeline, so grab the new version if you haven't already. Now, when you open the file, your screen should look like this. These two screens are for people who understand Blender, but most of you probably should just squish it away. At the bottom you'll see something called the timeline, which is 45 frames of poses. Each frame is a different pose, and the text document will tell you what each pose is meant to be. Some of them were designed with weapons in mind, but the first 12 were not. Just left click on any frame in the timeline to change the pose. You can control the camera by middle clicking to rotate, scroll up and down to zoom in and out, and hold shift plus middle click to pan the camera. At the top right you will see a bunch of layers. This function is exactly the same way it does in something like Photoshop. You can open the layers to see what's inside them, but the two important ones are called body and head. If we open body, you'll see three things. Click on the eyeball to make them visible or invisible. She defaults to wearing heels, but if you prefer bare feet, turn the shoes off and turn the feet on like this. The second group contains everything above the body, as usually you can turn things off and on with the eyes. And underneath that you'll see weapons, which if you wanted to hold a prop then I've included some for you to mess with. Now that's cool, but what if you want to make your own pose? Well to do that, go up and click this button to make the skeleton visible. Now 3D people call the skeleton a rig. Click the rig and at the top left go to pose mode and from here you can left click any of the controllers and press G to move them or press R to rotate. And when you're done making your adjustments, just left click and accept the new bone position and repeat the process until you're happy with your pose. Now I like to color coordinate everything, so red means right, green means left, and yellow is center. These circles control the direction of the elbow, and these control the direction of the knees. Position of the feet is controlled with these, and you can rotate these to make her foot pivot around your toes. This controls her body position, this controls the rotation of her hips, this controls the direction her chest is facing, her neck is controlled with this, and this controls where she's looking. And you can rotate it to make her head tilt left and right. And you can rotate the entire thing if you rotate or move the base platform. Now if you want to control the fingers, change your layer from 2 to 3 and you'll see the controllers for the finger and the hair appear. You can manually set the rotation if you want, or you can drag select, go to the right and click the position you want the fingers to be. I've included some defaults for you like fist open, clenched fist, or neutral.  When you're done, you can go back to the second layer and return to the rest of the rig. Now if it lags, what you can do is uncheck the box next to the eye for the head, and that tells Blender to pretend the head no longer exists, which will help it run faster. And if it's still lagging after you turn off the head, go over here, turn into wireframe mode, go back to object mode, click on the body, and on the right under modifiers, turn subdivision and solidify off. When you go back to pose mode, it should run way smoother. And when you're done posing, go back to object mode, turn subdivision and solidify back on, turn the head back on, click this to hide the rig, and I normally set the view to material, but you can also turn the render view on to get the lighting and shadows if you want. Now if you're on the commercial version, you can change the clothes she is wearing by going to object mode, clicking on the body, and under the materials, click the top one and pick the outfit that you want. If you want to change the color of the outfits, you can go to file, and in the texture folder, you'll find the original maps. Find the outfit that you're looking for, and use whatever program you want to make adjustments. If you're on Windows, the easiest way to swap colors is to right click the map, open in paint, turn transparency on, use the eyedrop and right click the color that you want to change, then control A to select all, control X to cut, left click any color you want, you can go here to edit it if you need, then click the paint bucket, left click the image, and control V to paste. And it will automatically replace the old color with the new one. From here you just save, if you drag the squishy window back out, down here, you just drag the new map into the shader editor and plug the new map right here to replace the old ones. If you want to change the color of her hair, in object mode click her hair, and in the shader editor you will see the material. Press tab, go to the color ramp, and change the color of the nodes on the ramp to whatever you want. Then tab to exit, you're done. So that's how you use the doll, all that helps and as always, hope you have a fantastic day, and I'll see you around.


Your Majesty, King Abdullah II, bin al-Hussein of the Hashemid kingdom of Jordan. Your Majesty, Queen Rania al-Abdulla. Your Royal Highness, Crown Prince al-Hussein bin Abdullah II. Your Majesty, King Philip of Spain. Your Excellencies, Royal Highnesses, esteemed heads of states, governments, and dear friends from the business community. I cannot mention everybody, but I would highlight here in the first row some personalities which, to a certain extent, will join us later also here. It's a great pleasure for me to welcome President Fouad Massoum of Iraq, President Muhammad al-Israouf of Nigeria, and President Mahmoud Abbas of the Palestinian National Authority. It's also for me a special pleasure to welcome the high-level European participation we have here participating at this summit. And I want to specially mention Vice President Federica Mogherini, the High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. First, I want to thank your Majesties, the Government of Jordan, the Kingdom of Jordan, and the people of Jordan for the great hospitality which we are always experiencing when we are here in this wonderful country. It's now the ninth time that we meet at the Dead Sea, and it's actually a certain chubilee because it's the tenth time that the world they can make their home holds its main summit in Jordan. Again, we are here, a most powerful multi-stakeholder group. I greet, of course, the government representatives here, the business community, and you have joined us like never before, which shows the confidence of the business community into this region and into its promising future. I welcome the civil society, and here I want to mention, particularly, the face leaders of Iraq who have joined us without common values. There will be no stable base for future peace and stability in this region. But I'm particularly happy to have in this room so many young people. The theme of this annual meeting is intergenerational transformation. Let me just see if I look at our young global leaders, at the global shapers, at the social entrepreneurs, at the start-ups. Please stand up for a moment so that we can recognize you and we can see how actively you are engaged here. The theme of this meeting, as I mentioned, is intergenerational transformation. But yesterday, when I was discussing with our global shapers and our young global leaders, what is needed in this region? It's trusted leadership and it's inclusiveness. We want to be part of it. You may remember in Davos this year, we had as a seam responsive and responsible leadership. I could translate it in the following way and could say, listen, decide and act. But I could go one step further and could say, listen to the young, decide with the young and act through the young. That's what we are on to do here during this meeting. And we do not have only a dialogue. I think it's very important that we join in action and in this respect, I'm very glad that during this meeting, quite a number of initiatives will be born. Looking again at the seam of this meeting, I couldn't find a more appropriate opening. And in this respect, please welcome all His Royal Highness, Grand Prince Al Hussein to address us and to open this meeting official. Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. Your Majesties, your Highnesses, Excellencies, Professor Schwab, distinguished guests. Thank you for your kind welcome and a special thanks to the World Economic Forum and the King Abdullah II Fund for Development for bringing us together today. Let me say what a privilege it is to stand before you, representing my beloved country, region, and the hopes we all share. And on behalf of all Jordanians, I want to thank our international friends for being here and helping to make this event a success. It is fitting that this year's forum is dedicated to the theme of generational transformation. Because for today's decision makers, the scope and speed of change in our world requires careful analysis, management, and planning. Yet for young people everywhere, including those who form the large majority in my region, transformation is the reality we were born into. For us, continual innovation is part of the rhythm of life. We grew up embracing new technologies, apps, and processes that give us new ways to connect and learn and work. Constant change is our status quo. Like young people everywhere, the youth of the Middle East are living in this vast sea of change. But our particular waters are characterized by two opposing currents. Both are forceful and potent, but each is pulling us towards drastically different shores. On one side is a treacherous tide, luring our youth toward a dark reality, one that sinks us deeper into violence, intolerance, and regression through the corrosive power of an extremist ideology. The other, transporting us to sunnier shores, where moderation sees our Muslim and Arab identities at peace with modernity and progress. A reality where we can be productive and positive contributors to the world around us. We are not drifters. When it comes to where the tide will take us, the choice is ours to make. What Arab youth want is what youth everywhere want. A fair chance, a chance to be heard, a chance to make a difference. What is unique to Arab youth, though, is a yearning and thirst that I have not seen anywhere else. Perhaps that's because our dire circumstances make us cling more tightly to hope. Young people in our region are the heaviest users of social media and the internet. We're the most likely to have smartphones, we're the gamers and the textures, we're the medical students who use the web to connect to global knowledge, we're the young entrepreneurs who build markets and scale up using digital tech. But more importantly, the youth of our region aren't satisfied to just adopt and adapt global technology. Beyond being mere consumers, I'm proud to say that especially here in Jordan, you'll meet young men and women who are spearheading innovation and change. They've produced new era products and services, new Arabic language web content, new ideas that can serve our region and our world. And during the course of this forum, you'll hear some of these innovators talk about their work and challenges. I also would like to congratulate the 21 Jordanian startups named in this forum among the 100 best in the region. You represent the best for the future of our youth through your perseverance, ambition, and determination. So here at the beginning of the global fourth industrial revolution, and thank you, Professor Schwab, for your words of wisdom about it, you can safely say, my generation feels the impact. And yet, what they need most is for you all to take a bet on them, to support them morally and financially so they can create their own impact. They need your help to advance and scale their projects so they can see for themselves the difference they can make. Our young people need a region wide support system for opportunity, access, and hope. That's why your partnership, all of you in this hall is so vital. But this is not a one way street. If we are to turn chances into life changes, then we, the youth, must be prepared to receive and make the most of the support we get. That means working hard to equip ourselves with relevant skills and tools. Everything around us is transforming. Markets, professions, trade and industry, technology, and so are the qualifications needed to harness these changes. We have to keep pace. All the while knowing that the fast pace we have gotten accustomed to must not be mistaken for fast success. Instant gratification can be a dangerous and false expectation from our generation. Making it to the top takes time, dedication, and a great deal of diligence. But if we all do our part, this can be a once in a generation chance to drive radical change across this region and ultimately drive radicalization out of this region. It can be our chance to release the talent, energy, and hopes of millions of men and women. Our chance to bridge the gap between what young people see and long for online and what they have offline. That our bright content creators become the progressive curators of our region. Hope and a fair chance are the deciding factors for which current will pull our youth. So I urge you to step in, extend your hand, unleash their power and potential, and guide them to safer shores. Thank you very much. Thank you very much, your Highness. If I may add one personal remark. Let's follow, let's go into the force industrial evolution. Let's create the world of tomorrow in a constructive, positive way. I have no now the honor and pleasure to invite King Felipe of Spain on the stage. Your Majesty, we all know Spain has always had very traditional relations with this region. And for this reason, we are particularly proud to have you here. Your Majesty is the King and Queen of Jordan. Your Excellency, President of Iraq. Your Excellency, President of Niger. Your Excellency is the head of state and government, the Royal Highness Prince Hussain al Abdullah. President of the World Economic Forum and Mrs. Schwab. High Representative Mogherini, good to see you here. Ministers, ambassadors, ladies and gentlemen. I would like to first of all express my deepest gratitude to His Majesty, King Abdullah, and to the World Economic Forum for their kind invitation to participate in this highly relevant and repeated summit. It is truly a great honor to be with you all here today. His Majesty knows well and is a great part of the long friendly and fruitful relations that bring the kingdom of Spain and the Hashemite kingdom of Jordan so close, as close as to consider that our respective royal families are tied by a strong and rewarding bond, familial bond. Indeed, I think we all appreciate the important meaning. Sorry, I do feel very privileged to be here beside Your Majesty and Queen Rania and to address the opening ceremony of this World Economic Forum meeting. You host here since a few years in the Jordan Valley by the Dead Sea. Allow me to congratulate you for your leadership in making this once again a key moment of the ongoing debates focused on the Middle East and North Africa that take place worldwide. This great meeting also owes tribute, of course, to the hard work and good work of Professor Schwab and his team in partnership with the KFT King Abdullah Fund for Development. So I'm quite sure of its success. It is also a great opportunity to accompany all new heads of state and government ministers, high representatives, members of the business and social civil society of this region. But allow me to highlight the fact that in this opening ceremony, in this plenary, we've had the enormous privilege and opportunity under this title of enabling generational transformation to listen to His Royal Highness Prince Hussain bin Abdullah's speech this morning. I think indeed, we all appreciate the important meaning of young Prince Hussain's participation representing the very next generation, the one we all need to work for and with today to help provide with greater hope and real opportunities for a better future in the region. Thank you, Your Highness, for your words of inspiration and leadership. And thank you, Your Majesties, for making us witness of Crown Prince Hussain's strong commitment. One of the constant ambitions of Spanish foreign policy has been to foster the cooperation between Europe and the Middle East and North African region. My presence here today bears testimony of how much we cherish this forum as a unique opportunity to advance this cooperation. In 2011, my father took part in this great forum and since then, of course, many things have happened. Many things have indeed changed in our world and especially in this region. We are facing very serious crises that challenge the very foundations of the world order. That is, with no doubt, indeed, of improvements and transformations, to say the least, but that is also based on highly valued principles, the sovereignty and independence of states, the respect of human rights and the benefits of free trade and the mobility of people, of persons. Also in my country, many things have happened, but most importantly, we have overcome the worst of a serious economic crisis. Thanks to the shared efforts of our countrymen and women and our institutions, the Spanish economy is now growing at a good and solid pace while steadily creating unemployment. So I am pleased to say that we're now ready and willing to strengthen our cooperation with all our partners in the Middle East, in the quest for a better future for the region and for the whole of humanity. So I am fully convinced that if we join forces with a determination, especially those of us who share this vast world around the Mediterranean in the West and in the East and understand our true potential and common stakes, we can finally look ahead with well-founded optimism and honestly say to our youth, yes, it is possible and worth their effort. Yes, there is hope. Yes, we are taking on our responsibility and yes, we are doing the best we can. And Jordan, my dear friends, is clearly setting an example and showing us the way. First, by behaving with generosity and hosting such a huge number of refugees, once again, that have been tragically obliged to leave their homes because of war and despair. Also by acting with bravery, reading the fight against those whose only argument is terror and represent the common enemy for us all. And finally, by preserving in its persevering, in its message of peace, dialogue and the pursuit of an inclusive and sustainable development. Your Majesty, we think, we thank you deeply for continuing this tradition of the Hashemite monarchy, a tradition of bravery, generosity and tolerance. Furthermore, Jordan is an example of constructive engagement with the whole international community. In Spain, we know it well. We highly appreciate our strong bilateral ties and our shared determination to enhance our fruitful economic cooperation. Spanish companies are here to stay, wishing to be part of a bright future for this country. They are, I am pleased to say, already present in Jordan and growing in numbers. Certainly in the energy sector, but also companies that have a great interest in areas such as desalination, water treatment and transport infrastructures. This forum provides us with the opportunity to share views and experiences, to work together in government, civil society and the private sector to create economic and social conditions for a wider and stronger shared prosperity. Shared prosperity. In our world today, security is a shared or common need. And we are constantly struggling to find the way to be more effective in providing it. We cannot isolate the threats and all the challenges we face, nor can we deal with them on our own. Since they are more pervasive and agile than ever, travel faster and ignore all national or regional boundaries. So likewise, we should really move ahead and find more powerful and adequate ways to also share prosperity, to find ways of cooperating more efficiently in economic and social development. And that of course will be the best way, the safest way to work for our long-term, greater common security.  There's clearly a new revolution. Your Highnesses obviously made a strong point on that, given your youth. Emerging from information and technological advances, which indeed can drive reforms and creativity. There's to a new generation, well-prepared, more open to the world, ready to work hard locally and globally for a better future. Let us accept the challenge of conceiving the Mediterranean and the larger Middle East region as a space of prosperity. There's certainly still a tough path ahead to tread, a dire need to do so. And of course, many obstacles that we should remove in equalities, ignorance, extremism are some of them. But we are entitled to look further. We owe it to a generation that will not accept the past as a barrier in their way to the future. Millions of youngsters are not only dreaming, but looking for a way to make their projects come true in a wide range of fields. Renewable energies, education technologies, biomedical research, sustainable tourism. As we meet here, young men and women in Barcelona, Aman, Cairo, Dubai, or Casablanca, is thinking on how to build his or her startup, where to compete his or her postgraduate studies, how to establish his or her small business or to improve his or her professional skills. They cannot wait for all the problems created by previous generations to be solved. One thing we know, the crucial role of education, it is clear that youth unemployment and lack of opportunities fuel frustration and anger. Finding the policies to the right policies to foster youth empowerment is not a simple task. This is why this forum widely recognized as a hub for sharing ideas and best practices can be so useful. Schools, universities, and research institutions should unleash the potential of our people. They need to be at the core of our policymaking in order for us to extend the limits of what we can achieve. International cooperation to favor student mobility between our countries is also essential. Development of effective policies in this area will not only increase the employability of young people, but will also create a stronger social contract for all. The future is embodied in these young boys and girls I have been referring to. Every time two or more of them meet, no matter if it is in the field of science, business, or leisure, something happens. A new building block is set to sustain the future we want for us and for our children. A new argument arises to support our conviction that the broad Mediterranean area, including all the Middle East, may indeed become, already today, not tomorrow, one of the most dynamic poles of the world. Jeroel Hynes, you represent hope. You have the benefit of the extraordinary legacy of the Hashemite Kings. And with your initiative, you have shown your will to follow that path. In August 2015, under your patronage, a global forum of youth, peace, and security was held in Amman for following the debate you presided in the Security Council in April of that same year. What an admirable task you are promoting. To partner with young people, to build lasting peace, prevent radicalism, and implement sustainable development goals. Much is at stake, and I wish you the very best in this endeavor and in your life. Your Majesty, your Excellencies, ladies and gentlemen, my country, Spain, with a long history behind, looks to the future with optimism. We want to continue building a stronger and better European Union, based on the respect for human dignity as the principle of principles, and based also on the conviction that united, we are stronger. We want to work together with the whole world, and especially with our friends in the Middle East and North Africa, to rise up to the challenges and seize the opportunities. Our youth is ready, our companies have accelerated the international expansion in the recent past, so they're eager and well-prepared. Let us join forces, defend our values, and together, build coalitions for peace and for inclusive development. I wish you all a very fruitful forum. Thank you, Jordan. Thank you, Your Majesties. I have now the pleasure to invite the President of Iraq to join us here to address us, and I would like to, probably on behalf of everybody, also to say Iraq is another sign of hope, the progress which has been made under your leadership in pacification of the country, rolling back extremism, so we are all looking forward to your address, Mr. President. Bismillahirrahmanirrahim. In the name of God, all merciful, all compassionate, Your Royal Highness, Your Majesty, King Abdullah II, King of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Your Majesties, Your Highnesses, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, thanks to God and by virtue of the determination of Iraqis and their national unity, as well as the support of friendly countries, Iraq has achieved a decisive victory over terror, a victory that we hope will be culminated in the next few days by the complete liberation of Mosul and the last stronghold of Daesh in Nineveh. As we hope to turn the page of Daesh completely during this year, Iraqis still need to work diligently and confidently as of now to achieve success in the battle for reconstruction, a battle that is no less difficult or complicated than the war over terror. There is no doubt that we will give priority to the repatriation of the internally displaced and the reconstruction of the areas that have been liberated where all aspects of life have been almost completely destroyed. Our country is currently developing ambitious and comprehensive plans to reinstate stability and services and to strengthen the infrastructure in those areas with the help of our friends in the international community who have given us a lot of military and humanitarian support in the war against terror. As we greatly appreciate the supportive stance of our friends, the donor countries and international organizations supportive of Iraq, most prominent of which was the World Bank and the IMF and other international organizations, we assert that we need their support to expedite the completion of projects pertaining to the reconstruction of Iraq as well as economic and administrative development and plans for social reconciliation in addition to promoting the democratic system that gives priority to servicing the citizen and removing obstacles and issuing responsible legislation and streamlining procedures as well as fighting corruption and facilitating mechanisms for introducing modern technology. And promoting partnership with the private sector and its development. All of these are as objectives in and of themselves. Our country is open to all investors who wish to contribute to the process of building and reconstruction of Iraq. The Iraqi investment law and its rules and regulations provide all guarantees and privileges for investors from all over the world. In addition to the fact that we have signed international agreements that guarantee the rights of investors. Iraq is keen on the participation of countries of the world in its steady efforts to achieve sustainable development at the same time as it works towards improving economic health and educational sectors and to guarantee an environment that is conducive and supportive of liberties and human rights and equality and the active and effective contribution of women in the state and society. This is why we give a special importance to attending this world economic forum on the Middle East and North Africa to benefit from all the ambitious ideas that will be presented during this forum as well as realistic and effective strategies in the economic, political, social and cultural spheres. Iraq is planning to implement strategic programs to develop human resources, particularly for women and youth. Really and urgently needs to benefit from every opportunity to achieve development in these fields. The theme of generational transformation for the future, which is the theme of this world economic forum, summarizes the main concern for our country today, especially given its highly complex requirements as well as growing challenges on the national, regional and international levels to actually succeed in empowering youth and enabling them to create their future and to support and stimulate the capacities for comprehensive growth for all social sectors, especially the new generation, in addition to the diligent and vigorous keeping up to date with all the new developments of the world economy, including information technology. In conclusion, I salute his majesty, King Abdullah II, for providing this conducive environment for hosting such a meeting. And I wish this ambitious forum every success. I hope to God that he will give us success and guide us in the right direction for the good of our people. And I thank the organizers of this forum. Peace be upon you and God's blessings. I now have the pleasure and honor of asking you. It is now a great pleasure and honor for me to ask the president of Niger to join me on the podium. Fighting, as you all know, terrorism, which is not just an issue of this region, but affects very much your country, so we are looking forward to your speech. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. Majesty, Abdullah II, King of Jordan. Majesty, Felipe VI, King of Spain. Majesty, Queen Rania, Abdullah. Ladies and gentlemen, heads of states and governments, ladies and gentlemen. First and foremost, I should like to congratulate their Majesties, King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Abdullah, as well as the government of Jordan. I should like to congratulate them for hosting this very important meeting of the World Economic Forum. A meeting devoted to the Middle East and North Africa. This initiative bears witness to Jordan's commitment to international cooperation and to the promotion of peace and development globally, as well as in the Middle East, North Africa, subregion in particular. I should also like to congratulate the organizers of the present forum, in particular, Professor Klaus Schwab for the relevance of the topics he has offered for discussion. These topics tie in directly with the social political situation of the subregion. I'm referring here to domestic crises and conflicts, undermining certain states. I'm referring to the humanitarian challenge these conflicts give rise to. I am referring to the difficulty in creating jobs in a region where the young represent the majority of the population as well as to climate change. How, in such a context, can we bring about an environment which is conducive to generational transformation? Ladies and gentlemen, generational change or transformation necessarily calls for peace and security worldwide. It must be noticed that the Middle East, North Africa and the Sahel region to which my country, Niger, belongs are unfortunately wracked by conflicts some decades old. The situation has in fact worsened these past years with the intervention of non-state terrorist, criminal organizations, movements which focus on identity and which are centrifugal forces. We must rapidly put an end to these conflicts and that is precisely what we are endeavoring to do in Niger where we have to face the consequences of the chaos in Libya, the worsening of the security situation in the north of Mali and in the region around Lake Chad. Whether it is in Libya, in Mali, in the Lake Chad basin in Iraq, in Syria and Yemen, we consider that our struggle against terrorism goes hand in hand with our struggle against criminal organizations which traffic in drugs, arms and migrants. In Niger, we are battling all these threats simultaneously and I am convinced we will have the upper hand. Regarding terrorism in particular, we will defeat it. That is a sure thing because the Muslim populations in Africa, just as in the Middle East, are standing by us in this struggle. The Muslims in Niger, for example, know that Islam is a religion which advocates the middle way, the happy medium. Islam does not like violence, our population knows it. One says that fitna is worse than murder.  The fact our people are at one with us in our fight against terrorism is the overarching guarantee of the fact that we will be victorious. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to facilitate generational change, it is necessary to emphasize alleviating poverty and inequalities. Poverty and inequalities which are the bedrock of terrorism everywhere. We believe that education is the best way to fight against inequalities and poverty. That is why in Niger, we have made free schooling mandatory up to the age of 16. That is why we have also set ourselves the aim of promoting vocational and technical training in particular for young girls. Education, vocational and technical training will make it possible for us to best use the demographic structure of our countries where young people are in the majority. Our demographic assets will yield economic dividends. To achieve our objectives, we intend to seize the opportunities offered by the digital revolution which encourages innovation and entrepreneurship. Over and above education, we also want to adopt new measures in the field of telemedicine, for example, and smart agriculture. Niger is, in fact, a member of the Alliance called Smart Africa, an alliance which brings together all African countries in order to best use the possibilities offered by the digital revolution in particular for the purpose of restructing our economy. Ladies and gentlemen, in Niger, we wish to establish a business-friendly environment. We are the sub-Saharan country in Africa which has undertaken the most far-reaching changes to this end in 2016. In fact, we're convinced that the private sector is one of the forces of change, the change we wish for. Our economies need more direct foreign investments in particular in infrastructure. A framework for public-private partnerships has been set up in order to put to better use not only our natural resources, uranium, gold, oil, and others, but also our agricultural, our animal husbandry sector, and our industrial potential. All these measures will make it possible for us to further grow our economy, whose growth rate has on average been of 6% in the past five years. Generally speaking, West Africa is enjoying just now sustained growth, which leads me to say that Africa is the continent of tomorrow. You should therefore believe in Africa and come to Africa in order to invest in Africa. Ladies and gentlemen, the war in Iraq, in Libya, in Syria, in Yemen, in the Sahel region has affected many millions, causing unprecedented humanitarian disasters. With poverty and climate change, these wars have triggered the migratory flows and humanitarian tragedies we now witness. In Niger, for example, we have welcomed on our national territory several hundred thousand refugees and displaced persons. Being a transit country, we have also seen several thousand migrants die in the desert, to which must be added those who drown in the Mediterranean. Faced with this tragedy, Niger has drawn up and implemented a plan to combat irregular migration, which comprises both security measures and measures to promote economic and social development. The international community must therefore organize as wide-ranging a solidarity movement as possible in favor of the victims of all humanitarian disasters we witness today in the Sahel region and in the Middle East. But over and above these urgent aspects, it is our duty to tackle the deeper roots of such tragedies, inter alia by means of a fairer and more humane global political and economic governance system. And here I would like to say that it is regretful that the promise made 50 years ago to devote 0.7% of donor countries GDP to public development assistance has not been abided by. Today, transit countries and the countries from which migrants originate need, first and foremost, investments. It is in this way that we will be able to ensure that would-be migrants will remain in their country of origin. Otherwise, the further development of free flow, of goods, services and capitals, the further globalization through means of transport and new information and communication technologies will heighten the migratory problem. I am convinced that meetings organized by the World Economic Forum will be able to sway opinion in this direction. And I would once again like to congratulate the organizers of this meeting. And I should like to thank again, Majesty King Abdullah II and Queen Rania Abdullah for their very generous hospitality. Thank you for your attention. This concludes our opening session. It will be followed in 10, in five minutes, in five minutes with a exciting session on innovative Jordan. So if you stay in the room and we will continue in five minutes. Thank you again, Your Majesty. Thank you, Jordan. Thank you for making it possible to have this great event here. Thank you.


Thank you, Ashkahn, and I'm loving the stage up here, so I mean, has anyone ever seen the movie Blow with Johnny Depp before? I don't know. It's interesting. It's awesome.  Anyways, I'd like to take a moment just to thank Float On and all the team here behind the scenes for this production and putting the Float Conference on. It is a tremendous thing to have such an effort at this stage of the game, creating this space for everyone to come together and just share ideas and talk about everything floating and what it's all about. So kudos to them. And I also want to put a thank you out there to the originators, the torch bearers, the people that kept floating alive during the darker times of floating and when they kind of went down a little bit in North America, that is, you know, they're probably, I mean, I can imagine Glenn and Lee were having dinner and just be like, you know, is everyone crazy? Like, why, why is no one else floating? What's going on? And no, you're not crazy. I'm very sorry we took so long to get into it. But we're here now and we're, we're super excited. So, so let me talk about our company, Float House. We opened just in May, May 9th of 2013. And we have five Oasis Float Tanks. And in that time, we've been able to put through 3000 plus floats through our doors already. It's been tremendously well received.  So this is actually a shot of our reception and our desk there at Float House. And, you know, our success has been, you know, although early on it's still a long ways to go and it's still early on in the game for us, it's been a long time coming. You know, we, we didn't just whip this thing together. We put a lot of time, energy and thought, my brother Andy and I, when we put this project up. And we first floated back in 2010 in a basement like a lot of people, you know, first floated back in those days a little bit because there wasn't any float tank centers around. So, and after one float, we decided to buy our tank. We purchased a Samadhi tank. And that was a huge thing for us to learn just floating in general for us as participants, but then also how to manage a tank properly. And it's been a huge asset to help with our, with our startup. You know, we made three trips down to Portland, a trip down to Arizona, to Nick and his team at TrueRest. We spent six months working with our Ministry of Health in British Columbia, which is the equivalent to the state level of health authority. And that was largely around trying to get hydrogen peroxide recognized to use in our, in our centers. And unfortunately, we, we haven't got that yet. And as only chlorine and bromine are the recognized disinfectants. And we did spend about four, four or five months after that working with our municipal level of health authority to create the actual guidelines. So we have definitely been put through the gauntlet in terms of the health authorities in that regards and have a lot of knowledge to share with that. So it's been about two years in the making of one form or another. And generally this, this talk is about the formula that we've created. And I just wanted to make it really simple and touch on a few points. And those being community and a commitment to excellence. So with community for us, as maybe some of you have seen online for us in our Facebook page has been a gigantic catalyst for us. Like as soon as we knew it was good to go, as soon as we got our financing secured, we launched our Facebook page and we put a lot of time, energy and some money into that page to develop a population. And it's amazing how much interaction you can get and discussion, education, which is such a critical part of this industry in general right now is being able to properly educate people. Just what floating is in general and what it can do for you. And so it's been a huge part of our success. And it's largely due to that Facebook page that we were open, like, you know, we got all of our money back that we put into within the first couple hours of opening. And actually within 24 hours we were able to do about $18,000 in sales with no social shopper. And that's largely due to Facebook. So if you're not into that game, research it and get involved because it's a huge asset. We also have what's called a float ambassador program. And we kind of took this from Lululemon, the sexy yoga pant company. And basically they have a Lululemon ambassador program where they go to different communities and select influential people within that community to represent their brand. And so we're like, okay, well, who can we go in Vancouver and represent floating. And so we went around and we invite people in, they come and float, try it out. And then if there's something that seems to mesh, we introduce them to this program and we let them float for free. And in exchange they talk well about it. They speak well about it. And we always choose people that are kind of, you know, in the same alignment with what we are. So this is Jennifer. She's one of our float ambassadors. You can see her background as a nutritionist and yoga instructor, a trainer, a Brazilian jujitsu champion.    You've got to really choose strategically that can help you guys, but also represent you well and just being that true ambassador of floating. And then our neighborhood itself, it's definitely, we're in part of Vancouver called Gastown. And it's a very destination-oriented community. And there's a lot of independent businesses there, restaurants, shops, and companies. And so we've been very active about going out to our community, introducing ourselves, giving them discounted rates on floating to get them into the tanks, different waitresses, and, you know, whether it's barbers or whoever, get them in there to, you know, say, hey, have you heard about, you know, Float House down the way, and about have you heard of floating before? And it just gets more people talking about it. The word of mouth, obviously, is such a critical part for this industry in any float center. Excellence. Our tanks are, you know, they're so critical to operate a high-quality float experience. So we are, like, very, very stingent on making sure every float is the best it can be by managing our quality of water, the depth, the densities, how clean it is, and having those systems properly in place. And that's where our background within restaurants has really come into play, just developing proper systems to really make sure that every float is consistent as possible. The space itself, clean, calm, comfortable, that set and setting is a really applicable thing to floating. So, you know, we have this feedback form that we get back from everyone that floats with us, and they get to rank us on a scale of 1 to 10 of how much they would recommend us to a friend, and then also make any comments. And the one we get every single day is cleanliness and how they appreciate it being clean and how important that is for them. So if this is kind of reiteration from the workshop, it's still worth it because, like, we get that every single day. And then our team are people that we bring on. You know, they got to have the right attitude. They got to be able to do multitask and do the operations. And, you know, as the owners, we need to create those systems in place that they can operate the float centers at the levels that we want them at, but then also deliver sound customer service and, you know, be the guardians of the space. Make sure that environment is maintained to, again, facilitate the best floating experience possible. And then the last critical piece I want to talk about is in general, like, why? You know, why are we doing this? Why do you do this? Or why will you do this if you're not there yet? And that's going to be a very personal answer. But make sure you have an answer for that question. You know, it's really important that you have something beyond just creating a successful business that is going to push you in those times where you don't feel like getting up at 6 in the morning to go and, you know, drain a tank because you got to fix something or something like that. Like, you need to have a greater question. And my brother and I are major reason why. And this is just very personal. And we don't project this out as a float house thing at all. But our reasons is to expand consciousness. That's why we're doing this and to just generate, give people an experience that they can try to generate greater self-awareness and have that really personal experience and whatever that is for them. And so float house, we designed it to be the canvas. You know, we don't put a lot behind what it should look like or what it needs to look like or what your experience will be like. We set them up technically for success. We give them the space. And then we do give them the little tips they need to make their experience the best possible. And when you're the first float center in a new area, you're going to be hosting, like, thousands of people's first floats ever. And so that's super important that you deliver on that. And on that note, the last thing I just want to say is, if any of this resonated with you and you guys want to talk with this, we are going to be launching some franchises soon. And I know that's not for everybody. And even that word might scare people or make them cringe, like, ooh, that's an ugly word. Well, we're coming from a very good place of we want to do, and we just want to expand this as much as possible. And we've learned a lot through this process and we're still learning every day. But this is something that we feel we can definitely contribute to the float community. And if it's not something you're resonating with, we still hope we can work with everyone in one form or another, definitely at the conferences. Enjoy the rest of the conference. Thank you very much. Have a great day. Thank you.
