Welcome to today's 2017 Valentine's Day edition of Human Humane Architecture, and of course we will have a couple of declarations of appreciation in the show, promised. And the show today will be about an issue that one of our first guests in the show many shows ago was bringing up and we did a little screenshot here of picture one if we can get this. This is the first declaration of appreciation is to our discipline of architecture and the one of human humane kind. And our dear friend and activist journalist Kurt Sandburne about a year ago when also architectural week is nearing itself again always in March. In his very last piece he wrote for civil beats unfortunately his last piece and we hope to have him back soon so Kurt we miss you. He wrote about the architectural emerging generation and the challenge between how they get educated by us in a very avant-garde idealist way and then once they get out of school they end up in a very mainstream realist world and Kurt showed empathy and interest in that and interviewed some of our students and we want to basically connect to that and go from there and in order to do so we found someone who is a great representative for that realm who knows the corporate architectural realm very well and he is in the epicenter of the corporate architectural America which is the middle of the continental mainland surrounded by land masses just like we with water masses here and this is in Omaha Nebraska and his name is Matt D'Abor, welcome Matt to the show. Wonderful to be here. And I'm glad you stayed up that light because it's getting late over there. We want to jump right in and we don't want to share yet where and what you are right now we want to actually share the whole story and where it all started so if we can get picture two where is that and what was that Matt? In slide two that was in a building where we both have a lot of love again Valentine's Day very appropriate and that is I am Pays and NBC bank headquarters in Lincoln, Nebraska and what the slide shows is you know a wonderful opportunity to display our work our studio's work in the main lobby of that building and to the right is actually one of your first publications in newspaper article that is actually featuring one of your projects but if we go to slide three actually your project we have to explain in Nebraska at the University of Nebraska last show was because forward we talked quite a bit that this is where we both had been given the chance to start our academic career thanks to Dean Drummond and director Hoistad and this was a terminal project of yours where you decided not to do a thesis but actually go into a vertical studio however then and this is my judgment as the instructor you pulled three the equivalent of three projects and we unfortunately don't have the time to explain them but a little bit we want to explain why three projects and that has to do with our next most important declaration of appreciation and love which is the next slide yeah it's my beautiful bride and more importantly my toughest critic who said Matt it's not really all that great to do one project in one semester you need to push yourself so she's she's really tough but she's also my biggest supporter so very happy to still have her in my life again Valentine's Day that's great exactly and the next slide is going to be one project we only show it in the glimpse but once again I was lucky to have a great co-coach with Leslie because he indeed was saying after the first project it's great but not good enough and he said this again so there were three projects this project however I selected because we want to make a reference to Hawaii not only did you do it through IMP who did the most significant building on on the campus here the east west center and this project here could very well actually work here in Hawaii and make a difference that we currently don't have we have a high-rise boom but we don't do buildings like that so in a nutshell in one two sentences which I know is tough because you're a great speaker what is this project about just very briefly sure you know so all three towers that were designed that semester found themselves being a place in alleyways in downtown Lincoln to deal with the housing shortage that was happening there at the time and this one in particular was interesting in that it was all about user control in dealing with the sun and controlling your environment via these pods that could move via some type of lever system to a pulley system and adjust and so you kind of had this very dynamic facade you know based on how users wanted to spend their days and evenings which is pretty much what made the project his name which is called environment dynamic tower right and when you talked about the time we were talking actually 2008 and that was a tough time right you betcha tough time to graduate and can we get the next picture so just to remind ourselves which probably there's no need to that was the middle the center of the recession the global recession and I think you have the numbers right because you have empathy with your colleagues you said there was three out of 35 got a job I have to say before the recession every one of our graduates got a job and three out of 35 and the other number is more scary that was two out of help me out and he was 50 that's all in Europe yeah and so you as talented as you are the corporate realm already had put an eye on you and they were smart enough to basically snap you and and this is there's a couple of pictures of the firm that give you a chance to start your career this is leeway daily they're one of the largest firms in the US and in the world and I'm going to go for these next couple of pictures rather quick because this is my observation of the firm you had me visit you and this is my big boat way back and this is the building which is a wonderful mid-century building and next picture and we walked inside and we we observed it together and I'm you know these are louvers that basically are retractable with a sun we did a show about the alamoana building that did the same so they were architects and firms they're really really innovative and pushing and next picture is that these louvers work rather simple and mechanic there's the caretaker guy who goes twice a day and cranks them and so very very great stewardship and pioneering leadership in sustainability when at a time when the term wasn't even around and the next picture is that you discovered that there is a legacy another legacy on top of that this is attention to materiality to detail to finish and you like to call this design excellence but you were at the lowest point of entry level into that firm and had to work your way up and me having been your advisor in all ways I was worried and because I was caring for you and said you're so talented I'm worried you end up being the draftsman for many years and might probably not have the chance to design the way you you you were so good at it and and you took this to your heart and and started in the firm the very first project where you have found a way to deal with that dilemma and turn this into an opportunity is the next picture tell us about what this project is and kind of stepping back just one second you know I'll say that you hit the nail on the head when it came to the the tough moment in which I graduated but my my career at lee away daily was was really great and they gave me a lot of opportunities really early on as a young designer to work on some pretty awesome projects and this first one is interesting in that it was very very small it was a canopy addition to a credit union headquarters really you know fairly old building I think 1980s and what's also interesting and a bit of a side note that translates to the rest of these slides is that the three projects that we'll show are all for the same client of SAC federal credit union and what's fairly unique is that my mother is the CEO of the credit union that posed a really interesting challenge for me as I was starting to design the canopy because I didn't want her to know I was doing it I wanted to make sure that you know the appropriate design came out without influence from you know someone who I grew up with so when I started designing this project I didn't tell her I didn't tell her at all and I you know the first moment I saw her when I came in to present the project to her she goes what are you doing here and I said I said well I'm designing the canopy and I called her gale for the first time and I kind of freaked her out so um and if you go to the next slide I think you'll see a few more a bit of a tectonic diagram of the components of the canopy yeah and a few detailed shots of you know how we handled kind of this interesting engineering solution for the canopy and that's the the previous picture if we can get this back this is what you're talking about I subtitled that as the five t's which is one of the terms we talked about in school as the techniques and tactics of typology uh technology and and tectonics and and you really sort of be mastered yourself in that and and for me brought sort of the firm back to what they're really great about they were a very heroic firm the office building is is a proud heroic modern mid-century modern building and you kind of said well why why don't we bring this back and and you took that risk this is a rather ambitious crazy cantilevering reminds a lot about reminds us a lot about the art which she called basically here Kurt and I called the best building in Honolulu which is Rainbow Drive and so um then there was another moment in your life Valentine's Day next picture which is your most important projects right so absolutely absolutely is what's making my heart big and my hair is gray my two kids twins exactly and whereas I call that previous project your apprentice piece a good one I call the next project your first masterpiece and the audience will say oh great project looks great but that's not it right it's the beginning of it right and so yeah another opportunity to another opportunity to transform uh uh not so great uh shell uh retail building into uh essentially a great project for SAC credit union again uh and turning it into um a branch facility for them in a relatively low income area of Omaha and and that's something what Jay really gets excited about he keeps bugging me and so we gotta do uh really innovative um renovation and and and upgrades of buildings so we're going to take a little promotional break here for a minute and then we're going to be back and talk about Matt the emerging architect hey has your signal just been taken over or am I supposed to be here this is Andrew the security guy your co-host on hibachi talk please join us every friday on think tech away aloha kako I'm marcia joiner inviting you to navigate the journey with us we are here every wednesday morning at 11 a.m and we really want you to be with us where we look at the options and choices of end of life care aloha aloha i'm richard emory host of condo insider a weekly thursday show at three o'clock that goes all summer long talking about issues living in a condo association each week we bring experts to talk about the rights and obligations of owners and boards of directors to successfully run their condominium it's a great educational show answers a lot of questions we hope you'll visit us sometime aloha so we're back to uh the valentine's day uh edition of human humane architecture with Matt emerging architect who walks us through his masterpiece so as I was saying this was a shell retail building um and it was an interesting challenge and how you take what was essentially a you know 5000 square foot uh video store that's been abandoned for four years and turn it into a branch and so you know the challenge is how do you make it unique um and uh and stand out and still live up to the sac uh image and brandon and so right away we knew that because we did because we didn't need all of the square footage we blew through the building for the canopy reusing the existing roof as the canopy structure and then applying a thermally modified wood exterior skin which kind of unified the entire design I think if you go to the next slide 17 and with this you know as martin always talked you know in our studios you know you're not just designing exterior to interior it's you know it's always always both and so here we show an interior shot of the new the new lobby for the branch where that thermally modified wood continues in and forms not just space but even the mill work and and and kind of brand wall and then moving on to 18 where you see actually kind of stepping back a bit and you see the the conceptual rendering you know what I was using to communicate the design to the clients and make sure things were moving forward and then moving on to 19 where um this is a photo I took of the project once it was complete and you know there you see it illuminated at night um and kind of a really nice addition to the neighborhood and and one thing that martin always instilled on on on myself and his students is that you know just because it's a small project just because it's in an impoverished area doesn't mean you don't do things right and I think that's the type of work that we want to promote uh it's it's it's a big deal to do uh do the right thing and I think the the individuals in that in those communities I think appreciate that a lot and talking your appreciation here I gotta get things a little bit more clear because usually when you start in a firm once again as the recent hire you assist the design teams and then you work your way up and that's a gentle way to say it but after you've proven yourself with your with your apprentice piece you you cut a deal with the company and you basically say I bring in now my first actual project and what I would like to have in return is the okay that I can work for that through all the architectural phases meaning from the design the schematics all the way through construction management plus a bonus because besides your many talents you're also a very gifted photographer actually you have a business on the side that's wedding photography and all the pictures we see of your project is met the board architect met the board photographer right so this is very very unique because again normally you start and for several years you assist with with drafts work and then once you've proven yourself over the decades you might make it up to a point where you're actually allowed to to be the design principle right and and that gets us to the next picture that um that um usually just the nature of the corporate is has to be profitable so you cannot massage the avant-garde do the nature of the corporate as much as you would do it in a boutique that's another term a boutique firm so uh near daily was always interested in getting awards but it didn't always happen the way they wanted it so what happened here in this case met with that picture we just saw 20 well I was uh very honored to have uh been able to represent the firm and and pick up an AI in Nebraska award for um I believe it was reused architecture like I can't remember the exact uh exact name and um and to have tre trehan uh be the one the juror who was a part of selecting my work was just you know it kind of blew me away at the time yeah and it blew him away because he is a boutique architect he does small selected work doesn't have to feed a lot of people that's the benefit of that and he opened the envelope and was rather surprised that he awarded what usually is not his peers right he awarded corporate America and was a little astonished to say the very least and that was very very happy to hear the story behind which is a young architect basically reconnecting the corporate to their roots the way I look at it and the next picture is you got the recognition that you deserve so you got it published um internationally peer reviewed well deserved but the next picture is for us the most important because awards and and and and publications mean nothing if the client isn't happy and I had the great chance to have you show me the project two years ago and it was on a weekend and we have to also be more specific about the neighborhood the neighborhood is very challenged and north Omaha is known as one of the most problematic neighborhoods as far as crimes and shooting and stuff like that and so we came there and the bank was already closed and then we met the director that we just saw and she was more than happy to reopen and very proudly show her piece and share with me how amazed she is what a difference that little project as you saw humbly said has done to the community right so exactly exactly and you know uh you know I have to uh the rest of these photos are of of Martin's taking and and it was great to have a very proud moment to to have my my mentor walking through some of my my uh projects and and for Kathy here that's pictured the branch manager um and and her glowing review of you know being in the space and what it's meant to the community and and being uh in kind of having SAC and and and her employees be a part of that is she's very proud of it so to me that's that's the most important you know the architecture just houses uh you know the function of trying to be a really great credit union in that area but for her that's that's the biggest deal yeah no it's really a commendable cultural approach to architecture which meant century so the roots of leo daily always had but in a highly capitalized commercialized commodificated culture this is sometimes tough and that's why architecture is isn't isn't the same anymore but so you tried one more time with leo daily and and and and bigger really big right so we already saw a little pre glimpse and that's also the background we're constantly seeing behind so picture number 23 is your imagination of what so after the branch facility opened uh got another great opportunity to um help SAC uh kind of consolidate they had several buildings in which they were leasing and had people in and it was time for them um they had seen tremendous growth during actually during the recession uh which is great and they were able to embark on a new headquarters for themselves and and kind of find a way to bring all of their people under one roof and uh while I mean I could talk about this project for hours but right now you're getting a glimpse of one of the more important spaces which is the main atrium right off the entry yeah and why that's important was you know for a small credit union who didn't want to lose its roots um I didn't want to lose the openness uh that that makes them who they are they they wanted to use architecture as kind of an emblem of that openness and so when you walk in as as a member you can right away get on a on the stairs that goes all four stories and move through the building you know and that's a pretty pretty unique thing in these day and age this day and age and the next picture um I apologize I take the blame for it being a little blurry because I took the picture and I'm not the gifted photographer that you are so talking mentor a mentee for a mentor is the best when the mentee surpasses which has long happened a long time ago so I'm really happy to to experience that but and I corrupt it also here but um so this gets again you are not just designing this and then passing it off I remember you told me about these uh facade emollients that you were very passionate about and Leo ideally's headquarter has glulam beams so this is reconnecting almost literally the tectonics of the firm and reintroducing that normally a corporate headquarters of a bank you use aluminum or steel post period that's it right you choose the color but you want it would and you help the local I will never forget you help the local uh trades because there was a little guy little guys again you know who was actually only able to do that there was none of the bigger you know uh companies were not able to do that there was this one guy that you're rather impressed so there's this empathy I want to get across so you the corporate is usually considered to be cold and kind of standoffish you know but you have this uh empathy and and love valentine's day for what you do and for the people who are involved meaning your clients and your contractors and your users at the end and we want to show the next picture number 25 so the first picture was two pictures ago was imagination the next one was sort of the execution and this one is the final product which again here is your mother and uh think think her and thank you to having shown the project to me these few years ago and once again you can see Omaha we have to say when we talk about why we can't compare things literally because this is tempered climate cold climate but if you imagine right now a cold day and having the passive solar gain coming in this is this is pretty huge and with a little eye wink as you know I always gave you to push your harder for the next step I said if you add some external shading you also get some great uh summer overheating protection so and there's some on there's some on other portions of the building it's uh you know and you know and it's pretty pretty unique uh in Nebraska it was the first first office building to take advantage of not just geothermal wells but also geothermal wells and a chilled beam cooling system so I don't know of any other uh installation of that uh that's active right now in Nebraska very greatly pushing innovation and before we get to the end of the show which is unfortunately is soon we want to show with one picture what followed then and actually also where you are right now and we talked so previously we talked about a Hollywood blockbuster and here we're talking a border's bookstore on the right side what happens around one so and I transitioned from leo a daily to HDR a little little over two years ago and first project I was able to be a part of uh it was not as a designer actually but rather as the project manager and kind of one of the kind of the key uh key leaders for the project but it was a border's bookstore that was abandoned for I think two or three years and we transformed it to the first in Nebraska and one of the first in the country in all digital library um and notebooks it's all about access to technology access to learning in new ways uh software etc um a pretty awesome maker space as a part of the project as well and it's centered right in right in the middle of Omaha um at the busiest intersection in the city and it's uh it's been a wild success uh for the organization that's funded and puts this project on thank you very much so that gets us close to the end of the show and now we will reveal and we already did it sort of uh you are now Vice President Managing Principal of HDR which is the other biggest firm in in the United States and in this little you know prep talk we had and and you said well that's actually nothing in your very humble way but but I want to point out the way we're talking 2009 when you graduated we're talking 2017 so these are a few years and the amount of work you have accomplished is one thing but what's really commendable and I want to use this as an encouragement for the emerging generation they have that we have here in in Hawaii as well and the nature of the firms is rather similar to the one in Omaha we have more bigger firms with corporate firms and yours is a perfect case study that you don't have to give up your integrity you'll love Valentine's Day for design if there's a will there's a way and you had a very very strong will and made a very very strong case for yourself and and and we're phasing out here once again we want to conclude with your wonderful wife hi Leslie and the kids who besides everything you've done you always dedicate the time to them and with that we also want to let you go so can you you can get your kids to bed because it's about that right now I'm surprised they didn't come down at any point and thank you for the awesome inspiration and motivation and that great raw model you are met it's a pleasure appreciate it thank you for having me on thank you so much


Hi, I'm Daniel Weisberg, Search Advocate at Google. And today, I'll show you how to request your content to be temporarily hidden in Google Search results using the removal's report in Search Console. And I'll also talk about the ways to review requests made by other users to remove outdated or inappropriate content on your site. Before I go into Search Console capabilities, I'd like to stress that the tool should only be used for temporary removal requests. You must take additional steps in order for your content to be removed permanently. I'll talk about permanent removal of pages from Search at the end of this video, but check the links in the description for more detailed information. In addition, you cannot use the tool to remove personal information, report offensive information, or doing anything but managing search results from your own website. To remove information from Google from the web in general for content you don't control, check the links in the description. Now that we are aligned on what can be removed and for how long, let's talk about the removal's report in Search Console. That's the reason we got together today. The removal's report is divided into three main sections, temporary removals, outdated content, and safe search filtering requests. Let's go over each of them in more detail to help you understand how to use them effectively. A temporary removal request is a way to remove specific content on your site from Google Search results. For example, if you have a URL that you need to take off Google Search quickly, you should use this tool. A successful request lasts only about six months, which should be enough for you to find a solution to either allow the content to be seen or to remove it permanently. When you log into Search Console, you'll find the removal's report in the navigation bar. Select the temporary removals tab, if it's not already selected, to submit a new removal request. Then click New Request. You have two types of requests available. Temporarily remove URL will block the URL from Google Search results for about six months. This will also clear the cached copy of the page. Use this option as a quick first step when permanently blocking a page from Google Search results. Clear cached URL clears the cached page and wipes out the page description snippet in Search results until the page is crawled again, when the snippet is generated from the new content. Until the next crawl, the page description will be empty in Search results. Use this option when you remove sensitive information from a page and want to update your results snippet in Google Search without removing the page itself from Search. Be sure that you've removed the sensitive information from your page before clicking this, or else Google will just re-crawl the page and find the same content. For each of these two options, you can submit a request for a single specific URL or for an entire URL prefix. Make sure you think twice before submitting a request for an entire prefix so that you don't unintentionally block pages that are important to you. In the temporary removal section, you'll find a summary of the page removals requested through this report in the past six months. You'll see the URL, the request type, the date requested, and the status. You can also use this report to cancel a request if it's no longer necessary. The outdated content section provides information on removal requests made through the public remove outdated content tool, which can be used by anyone to update search results, showing information that is no longer present on a page. This is something that you probably won't need to look at much, since Google users can't force your pages from Search using this tool. There are two types of requests. Outdated cache removal is used when the page still exists, but some content has been removed. Google clears the page snippet in the search result until the next scroll, and searches for the removed content will no longer show this page. Outdated page removal is used when the page no longer exists, and a user has requested its removal from the Google search results. The report table shows the history of all submitted requests for this property in the past six months using the public remove outdated content. I won't go into the tool in this video, but you can check the links in the description to learn more about it. Whether you're using search at work with your family or for yourself, Safe Search can help filter more sexually explicit results. In addition to setting your personal account preferences, parents can turn on the filter for their kids' supervised devices, and workplaces or schools can turn on the filter at the network level. The Safe Search filtering section in Search Console shows a history of pages on your site that were reported by Google users as adult content using the Safe Search suggestion tool. URLs submitted using this tool are reviewed. And if Google feels that this content should be filtered from Safe Search results, these URLs are tagged as adult content. The report table shows the history of all submitted Safe Search requests for this property in the past six months. Check the links in the description to learn more about it. Permanent removals should not really be part of this video, since it's not requested or reported by a Search Console. But since we're talking so much about temporary removals, I thought a short explanation might be in order. To remove content from Google Search permanently, you must take one or more of the following actions. Remove or update the actual content from your site and return either a 404 or 410 HTTP status code. Non-HTML files, like PDFs, should be completely removed from your server. Block access to the content, for example, by requiring a password. And use a no-index meta tag to indicate that the page should not be indexed. This is less secure than the other methods. Please know that simply redirecting an old page with a 301 response is not enough to remove it from Google Search results. And neither will a robots.txt directive work as a blocking mechanism. And that's it. We're done for today. Hopefully now you understand how to request to remove specific content on your site from Google Search results. And also, how to track these requests along with other user removal requests related to your site. In the next episode, I'll talk about how to use Search Console to check security issues on your website. Don't forget to subscribe to the Google Webmasters YouTube channel, where we'll be publishing lots of Search Console videos. Stay tuned. Got you, junior.


When we think of the contribution of diaspora, for the most part we think of the contribution they make to their countries of origin. But in fact they make a contribution to both the environment in which they currently live and an enormous contribution to their countries of origin. There are several aspects to that contribution that the most commonly referred to is what are called remittances. For people who have moved to a new country, they spend about 85 percent of their income in their new country, their country of destination, but they send home on a very regular basis for a very long time, about 15 percent of their income. That amount globally is three times the amount of official government aid, that is the amount of money that governments in developed countries send to developing countries. So it's an enormous contribution in the range of close to 500 billion dollars a year. And in some countries, poorer countries, it amounts to up to 20 percent of their gross domestic product. So financially they are huge agents of development.


Hey, budgets, my name is Futon today.  Ah, shit! Number one, I don't care if you do. That word is like the least insulting at this point. Last year when it was Valentine's Day, I kind of, I don't really know what happened last year, but I know a good amount of you guys like these sit-down talks, and I want to do more of them this year, like have an honest chit chat. So yeah, let's talk about our relationship and cover this up because I have class soon. I'm not one of my professors seen me as this person. Editing Frederick here, by the way, to my sister who's watching before you text me, you got no right to judge me, okay? I remember your high school relationships. I saw you gone too, okay?  And to my parents who are watching me, what's on the day that you pay a soul? I guess I'm gonna prime, like it matters. I know for like most of my videos, I always say, oh, I don't want a boyfriend, I don't need a boyfriend, you guys shouldn't get one too. And I try to stand by that as much as possible, but like how long can one just say, I don't need a boyfriend? Hold on, while I try to find something that would work for me. But I'll admit, I was looking for something. You know, I had high hopes, as every person does, because that's not gonna, this is not gonna cover at all. Don't worry, I'm gonna explain how this happened. I downloaded Tinder and Hinge at some point. For those of you who don't know what they are, they're online dating apps. And yeah, I was a little embarrassed about it because like I've always been that person who wanted to meet someone in real life.   You know, like the stuff that never happens in real life basically.   Ah, my presents are gonna look at me. Maybe I'll just do like some regular makeup and maybe that will distract from this.   Also, if you've had it before, you know that the majority of people in Tinder are doing it for hookups and that is not my type of thing. I don't date just to date. It's like I want to date to marry, even though I'm 18, like I got it.  I just don't like dating someone and then thinking about breaking up with them while dating. Once again, I'm very picky, always have been. So after being ghosted by like what, five people on Tinder, I tried hinge and it didn't match with anyone until this one guy, this guy. We talked for a little bit and had a lot in common. I couldn't find anything that would have made things go badly, like all our interests were similar in some way. There were no red flags, so he asked me on a date and I agreed. We went to Panera and he insisted on paying for me and I was like, that's very nice of you. I'm paying the next time. Then we went back to his room and his room was really nice. His roommates were really nice. There were no signs of anything being sketchy. There are no shady things. And it was a good movie, we watched Burlesque and then like we kissed a little bit and then I got a hickey and I told him it was okay and he was very respectful of boundaries and stuff. So after hanging for like what, six hours, he said, let's call it a night. I need to go do homework and I was like, I agree, I need to go back. And then he said he definitely wanted to meet again. So I was like, yeah, me too. And of course before that I asked him, was this just a one-time thing? Do you want this to go further? And he said, let's just see where this goes. So I was like, okay. Next day I texted him and no response. I just said good morning. Waited a few hours until it was like what, 2 p.m. And I was like, it's everything okay. And then at some point he left me on red on Snapchat. And I was like, I'll take personal offense to that. Thank you. He posted on his story. So I was like, oh, he's clearly awake. So I sent him another snap, got left red again. And then by that time it was like 7 p.m. So I texted him, dude, like what's up? This is everything okay. And I think by midnight I was just like, okay, listen, I get it if you think the date went badly, but like just don't go someone. And then still no response. And now we're here the next day. So I'm just gonna assume, doesn't want to meet again. And you know what, that's fine. Like if you go on one date and you don't want to see someone again, but don't lie and say you really want to meet them the next time. And then also not respond to them.  And then of course, like I'm the one to start thinking, this is my fault. Like what did I do wrong during the day? Should I not have kissed him? Is it the way I dress? Is it because I was not short enough for him? I don't know.  Like that's just a normal thing. And of course it would make me upset. All that stuff makes me upset. And I almost got to the point where I just didn't want to hang out with anyone because I started, you know, getting in my mood. And then my friends just said, no, listen, it's not your fault.  Which is true, but usually whenever things go wrong, like you have to try to look for guys in college a little bit and all of them have gone south at some point. And then I have this cycle of blaming myself and then thinking I did something wrong. But I have to remind myself that it wasn't my fault.  And that's why I wanted to talk to you guys because Valentine's Day is coming up and I know a lot of people here are single. And you know what? It's fine. You don't want to get together on Valentine's Day anyways because that could really go wrong too. A lot of people that I know used to feel pressured to get into a relationship just because their friends are. Some of you guys text me saying, I don't know how to get out of this relationship and you proceed to list all the toxic things about it. And then I just think like, can you just read that over again? And I just want you guys to think like, if a friend told you all the toxic things about their relationship, would you want them to continue it? No, probably not. And that's why you shouldn't because life is not short. I mean, it probably will be in this day and age. But you'll meet another person. And I just have to remind myself that that I don't really know the point of this video. I think it was supposed to be like me getting out my problems, letting you know that this will probably be here for a while. So like no conspiracy, not dating any YouTuber. Okay. Oh, I didn't even powder it down. Hold on. I guess the point of this video was to let you know that yeah, this happens to everyone. And I know a lot of people try to assume like YouTubers, their relationships are different. Not really. I get ghosted just as much as you guys probably. Did that help at all? I'm trying to tell you that what you're feeling isn't wrong.  But at some point you're gonna realize that you're going for a relationship for the wrong reasons. And so many people have told me to just stop looking. And I think my last straw has finally been pulled because I'm done being ghosted. And I've always thought like, am I cursed? Like if I tell anyone about a potential guy, I like, will it just go bad? And what's funny is that my other friend, the moment I told her about this guy, she said, don't trust him. He's a J. And I've dated three J's and each and every one of them went bad at some point. But yeah, this Valentine's Day, don't feel sad about being single. But if you try to give excuses for the people you like, say the guy who just goes and texts me again and tries to come up with an excuse. Would you let me continue talking to him? Depending on your answer, think about that for yourself. And I'm trying to tell you, don't settle for less. And don't bother downloading Tinder and Hinge if you live in the New York area. I deleted them. Those profiles are not gonna come back. I'm still gonna wait for the guy who picks up my yogurt when I drop it at the grocery store. So yeah, I did not cover this hickey at all because I have no concealer right now. But it's just a reminder that maybe I shouldn't go for guys right now. That's all for this video. Sorry I uploaded late. College has been hectic. But if you enjoyed, give this video a like. Leave a comment down below or subscribe for more videos whenever I can. So just turn on my notifications so you don't miss anything if I'm late. Now let's read a coming out story. For those of you who are wondering, I always try to read coming out stories at the end of every video to inspire others to come out. And they're always anonymous. So I went to my aunt's house for Chonico. I'm so sorry if I pronounced that wrong. I decided I finally wanted to come out to one of my cousins. I'm not out to anyone in my family except one who is younger than me, so this was absolutely terrifying. I couldn't face him in person. So on the hour long drive back home, I texted him and your text went something like, I'm trans, I'm a guy, please don't hate me. If you don't want to talk to me a whole lot now, I get it, but please don't tell anyone. And your cousin responded with, wow, I didn't expect that. It doesn't change really anything between us.  I was honestly crying in the backseat of my parents car and couldn't stop smiling at different points in the following days. Thank you for sharing your story. And as always, I love you guys and everything's less than three.

repeat after me, I, William D. Ruckelshaus, do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter so help me God I want to take this opportunity to thank Senate Majority Leader Howard Baker and Senator Stafford and Randolph for their successful efforts in expediting Bill's confirmation. I personally appreciate their efforts as well as the unanimous vote of confidence that was given Bill by the Senate. Thirteen years ago, under another Republican administration, the Environmental Protection Agency was formed to preserve and enhance the quality of America's most precious assets, our air, land, and water. Its creation signaled a new awareness of the ecology and the impact of urbanization and industrialization on the quality of our lives. EPA was fortunate to have as its first administrator an extraordinary public servant who gave direction and momentum to the fledgling environmental agency. His assignment, not an easy one, was performed with dedication, integrity, and a balanced understanding of the nation's needs. He soon became known and with good reason as Mr. Clean. And today at a time when we're opening a new chapter in the history of this agency, I can't imagine anyone who's more qualified or better suited to be at the helm once again than Mr. Clean, Bill Ruckelshaus. With Bill speaking for many Americans, welcome home. You helped set this nation on a course we still follow today, a course that has brought many tangible signs of progress. The quality of air in the United States, especially in our cities, is better today than it was 13 years ago. Streams, rivers and lakes all across the country are becoming cleaner. Regulations are now in place that come to grips with the problems of hazardous waste disposal, progress is being made in cleaning up the abandoned chemical dump sites which mar the countryside. And yet, as you and I have discussed, we must do even more to protect and cleanse our environment. There are many areas of immediate concern, but let me single out four that I would like you to address as quickly as possible in your new post. First, many of us, both here and in Canada, are concerned about the harmful effects of acid rain and what it may be doing to our lakes and forests. So, I'd like you to work with others in our administration, with the Congress and with state and local officials to meet this issue head-on. At a time when spending in other areas must be curtailed, we've already asked for an increase of 112% in research funds for acid rain. People on both sides of the border must understand that we're doing what's right and what's fair in this area. Second, accelerate efforts to put the superfund to good use, cleaning up those hazardous dumps that present an imminent or serious threat to human health. We've made progress, but we must make still more. Let's pledge that no American will be held hostage or exposed to danger because of bureaucratic snafus or legal disputes over responsibility. Third, consistent with the point I just made, we need a sorting out process to determine the areas of authority between the various levels of government. I've always thought that protecting the environment was something in which the state and local governments could and should play an important role. When I was governor of California, I was proud that our state led the way in many aspects of this battle, including the laws concerning air pollution. I hope you can focus on this and provide us with a better idea of who is best equipped to handle specific areas of responsibility. Fourth, we must ensure that the laws concerning this vital area continue to be vigorously enforced. We expect nothing less than full compliance with the letter and spirit of the law. Bill recently, a fine group of EPA career professionals, came to the White House for an informal meeting with members of my staff. We had an opportunity to spend some time talking about the ways that EPA can be improved so as to better fulfill its mandate. I was impressed with their professionalism and dedication to the mission of the agency. I will restate for you what I told them. You have my total support in your difficult job of enforcing and administering our nation's environmental protection laws. With your leadership and the assistance of EPA's fine career professionals and with a good working relationship with state and local environmental agencies, I'm confident we will accomplish our goal, the protection of the health and well-being of the American people. Too much time has already been wasted in fault-finding, recrimination, and innuendo. Today, we mark a new beginning.  And I thank you very much for taking this aside. Mr. President and members of Congress, distinguished guests, I want to thank all of you for attending. Many of you on very short notice have come from afar, many as far away as the other coast. Many of those who have come here today were present at the creation of EPA some 12 and 1 1⁄2 years ago. And it was at that time in a ceremony similar to this that I accepted the charge from then-President Nixon to launch EPA. My daughter, Kathy, who held the Bible for me this afternoon was 10 years old and in the fifth grade. Next month, she will graduate from Princeton. She ably represents our family, many of whom, including my wife, were here last week waiting for the Senate to act. The budget took precedence and they're now in Seattle, but with us certainly here in spirit. Bill Rehnquist, Justice Rehnquist, who performed the honors today 12 years ago was a colleague of mine at the Department of Justice where we both served as Assistant Attorney General. Mr. President, you were then Governor of California, a state with an environmental record that was lighting the way for the rest of the nation. It was your leadership in California that provided the spur to the federal government and got the whole country moving toward coping with environmental degradation. Since 1970, the highlighted problems of EPA have changed, but its basic mission is the same, to protect the public health and the natural environment. Recognizing the importance of this mission, Mr. President, you have provided me with the basic tools necessary for success. You've charged me with helping you find the best people available to do the job and with assessing the needs of EPA and asking Congress for the resources necessary to carry out their statutory mandates. You've told me to operate in the sunlight so that all can understand and participate in EPA's policy formation and decisions. Mr. President, while we both think the basic laws of EPA can be made to work better, we recognize the final arbiter of the shape of the law in this country is the Congress. That body, so ably represented by those present here today, makes the laws. It is my job to enforce them as written. I pledge to the Congress in my confirmation hearings, and we'll do so here again today, that I will consult closely with them in seeking to administer and refine our statutory base. Hopefully we at EPA can regain the trust of Congress and achieve the administrative flexibility that I and others before me in this job believe is essential if the public interest is to be served. Mr. President, today you have charged me with some specifics. Get on with the problem of acid rain and toxic dumps. Make sure everyone understands the laws will be enforced and help sort out the role of the federal and state governments, so the people at both levels can stop second guessing one another and get on with their job. I take these charges very seriously. They will be vigorously pursued. Most important, Mr. President, you have pledged to me and the people at EPA your total support in taking on this job. Without your support, I cannot succeed, and with it, I will not fail. As you noted in your remarks, EPA has impressive professionals with a high dedication to their mission. Many of the able people of EPA were there when we started over 12 years ago. We have much to learn from their collective wisdom, and with their help, this country can continue to progress toward our environmental and health goals. Mr. President, it is my sense that the people of EPA who have stayed with it from the beginning are there because of their belief in the fundamental importance of their mission. EPA was not created to deal with the usual mix of social problems, whether they be poverty, jobs, housing, education, crime. In a real sense, EPA's mission transcends all of these. That mission is the preservation of life itself. The career people of EPA recognize, better than the rest of us, the necessity of harmonizing their mission with the essentials of the life they're trying to preserve. They know the single-minded pursuit of any social goal to the exclusion of all others can cause severe societal distortions. They are willing and uniquely able to help our country avoid those distortions if so charged. You have charged us here today, Mr. President. You have told us to pursue our mission with wisdom and dispatch. We accept your direction. I can say to you, Mr. President, and to the Congress, which confirm me, that I appreciate your support and trust. And as I pursue the public interest which is often so elusive at EPA, your support will sustain me. And in that pursuit, I pledge to you and to the Congress and to the American people that I will never break your trust. Thank you.


What is our role as good consumers? Well, we're supposed to buy stuff. We should amass goods and services We buy what's on offer and the way we find out what's on offer is it's advertised to us and it's advertised all over the place We can compare this in shop, but we shouldn't ask too many questions like is there GMO in my food? Is there this or that not too many questions? Don't go make the goods and services ourselves because they're being made for us and don't share the goods out because that doesn't Buy as much stuff. There won't be as much money in circulation. There won't be as many goods out there But above all else buy a lot or the economy will fail. Our job is actually to keep the economy going If we are good consumers, we should achieve the American dream because the American dream is to have stuff It's an ownership society The gross domestic product will go up so America will be healthy because GDP is our measure of health and The market will sort things out. The market is efficient. It has an invisible hand You may not detect it, but I'm saying all these things with considerable irony because this is sort of the recipe for a Really bad economy and a bad way to be in the world These are the kinds of things we think about in the relationship economy. Thank I'm Jerry McColski Thanks for watching this rec cast. There is more at these links

In 1930s New York City, health centers were nearly absent from many neighborhoods. Built in 1937, the Chelsea District Health Center. Renamed the Leona Baumgartner District Health Center in 2002, after the first woman to head the city's health department is one of New York's historic New Deal-era district health centers, which brought primary healthcare to under several communities throughout the city. But after decades of use, they fell into disrepair. With the goal of reducing HIV cases through STD education training and treatment, in early 2000s, the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene decided to transform these buildings into state-of-the-art sexual health clinics. In 2018, under the guidance of Stephen Yablon Architecture, the historic 23,600 square foot center reopened to the public. The creative design of the transformed WPA building is inspired by its unique location inside a public park. It reinvents the clinic experience by creating a welcoming environment where everyone feels deserving of dignity and respect. The Chelsea District Health Center serves as a model example of how to upgrade historic and obsolete medical facilities and uplift sexual health clinics that were once stigmatized places. Wow, thank you so much for this very prestigious award. We really are very grateful to the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Richard Dreehouse Foundation. What an honor. And also thanks to our team at Stephen Yablon Architecture and our partners, the Department of Design and Construction and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene of New York City for helping make this an innovative project. It's a beautiful site. It's a city block that's a city park. And this building sits right in the middle of it. And even though the park has been well kept, the building had fallen into disrepair. The city made the decision that instead of selling them, that they were going to renovate them. What's, I think, historic architecturally is that it was probably the first time that the City of New York used architecture to express that healthcare was as important as libraries and police stations. This transformation restates what the original building communicated, that high quality healthcare is an essential right and an important function of civic government. Thank you.
