Strikepack FPS Dominator Review - Paddles for Everyone (PS4) - Duration: 4:11.
It's no secret that playing games with a controller outfitted with paddles allows for
a big advantage.
Whether it's the SCUF Impact, the Razer Raiju, or the Nacon Revolution Pro, the main
selling point of these pads is the easy-to-reach buttons placed on the rear.
Being able to activate face buttons without taking your thumbs off the sticks is huge.
This is especially true for first-person shooters, where simultaneously jumping to evade while
adjusting your aim can mean the difference between a cheeky kill and an unfortunate death.
Having extra buttons on the back of a controller is objectively better.
There's no debating that fact.
However, it can also be expensive, and I know of many gamers who have been put off by the
premium price tags.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a cheaper alternative?
This is where the Strikepack FPS Dominator from Collective Minds comes in.
For just $40, this adapter can turn your standard controller into a paddle-toting tool of destruction,
capable of going up against the more premium custom pad solutions.
The Strikepack comes with a 10ft USB cable and instructions.
Initially, the adapter felt suspiciously lightweight, but once it was attached to my pad, I appreciated
the lack of added bulk and the ergonomically sound design.
The paddles' positioning makes them easy to activate without doing so accidentally.
They are removable and replaceable, using magnets which keep them attached securely.
Both paddles are remappable, which is done with the simple pushing of two buttons.
Wireless is one thing that the Strikepack doesn't do well.
In fact, it won't work at all without a wired connection.
However, those who can put up with always being plugged in, will be rewarded with a
lower latency connection.
Yes, even if you own an older DualShock 4, you will still benefit from connecting via
USB.
My old model pad equipped with the Strikepack seemed as fast, if not faster, than my newer
model.
Collective Minds are clearly doing something right here.
The 10ft cable that comes in the box isn't proprietary, and you can use other micro USB
cables, but it's advised that you stick to what's supplied.
My one hiccup with the device occurred while using a different cable, with an error popping
up saying "Too many USB devices connected."
I've reported this to Collective Minds, so they are aware of it.
I also took the time to thoroughly test the headphone jack, which worked great with the
standard PS4 headset, as well as my aging Astro Mixamp.
Switching to the "Mod Mode" requires a quick pressing of two buttons.
The Strikepack's rear light will go from white to blue, and you'll now be able to
cycle through and activate different exploits.
You scroll through the different mods using the controller's face buttons, selecting
from rapid fire, burst fire, drop shot, jitter fire, quick scope, auto run, and more.
I tested a bunch of these in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered against bots, and
they worked fine.
PlayStation LifeStyle does not condone cheating of any kind in online multiplayer, and I personally
find that the mods put a bit of a stain on an otherwise fantastic product.
Back to praising the Strikepack then!
What I love about this adapter is that it works immediately right out of the box.
Push a couple of buttons to map the controls, and that's it.
However, if you're the type of gamer who likes to have a tinker with your gadgets to
try and optimize performance and whatnot, there's a load of customization tweaks available
within the configurator software.
Here you can remap all of the buttons with ease, change sensitivities and dead zones,
and much more.
Plugging the Strikepack into a PC also allows you to update it with the latest patches,
and support has been great thus far.
$40 gets you paddles and low latency USB connectivity, two brilliant features that will benefit any
player, so long as you have an existing controller to plug it into and don't mind forgoing
the wirelessness.
For the money, the Strikepack FPS Dominator is a no-brainer for anyone wanting that "SCUF
advantage," without dropping serious dollar.
Just try and avoid the dark side of mods, since that isn't fair and you may end up
getting banned.

Altra's Fit4Her "Queen," Meghan - Duration: 2:24.
It's a very freeing thing just to be out there and running, and celebrate all
there is about that race. My name is Megan, I'm 55 years old, and I live in
Cool, California. I got into running as a way to stay fit after having my daughter.
I started off with 5Ks as fun things to do and I gradually worked up to
the marathon. I didn't really think I'd ever do ultras. They seemed to take too
long and actually I was afraid of running in the dark. So I really spent a
lot of years chasing marathons, and I qualified for the Olympic Trials four
times. And then I saw one of the old videos of Western States 100 Mile Run. It
was so beautiful and watching these people run on trail you know all day and
into the night, I was just like "I need to learn to not be afraid of dark so I can
do that." I'm like maybe at the cusp of women getting into competitive running.
We weren't allowed to run marathons until Joan Benoit. Being on the
women's Altra team, it's quite an honor and a privilege to be able to know these
women more personally. We're always cheering for each other it's a really really
positive atmosphere. Having a shoe manufacturer make a shoe specifically
for women is really awesome. It's not out there, and our feet are different,
and it's working. I've never felt so comfortable in a shoe and I know they
make my running feel really natural. I guess tips for first time women
runners, or any runner really, is start walking. And when you're ready to run go
for a five-minute walk and run for a minute. Find a way to love it from the
start and improve slowly. So the future for me, I'm going to put this out there
because it's sort of absurd but you got to raise the bar high one of my running
heroes is Tim Twietmeyer and he's run western states 25 times all under 24
hours. I don't aspire to win this race but I do aspire to have 25 sub-24 silver
buckles which means I would get my twenty-fifth when I turn 70.
I don't want to ever jeopardize the passion I have for this activity.
And if I got hit by a truck and I couldn't ever walk again, I would still be so involved
with this sport. It's my family. It's my life.

Trilogies That Will Sadly Never Get Finished - Duration: 7:26.
Franchises have always been hugely profitable in Hollywood.
So it makes sense that many films are conceived as trilogies, with the first film or two setting
up a payoff finally delivered by the third.
But sometimes things just don't go according to plan, and audiences never get to see the
story play out as intended.
Other times, a successful first film inspires a sequel or two that just never comes to full
fruition.
For example ...
Tim Burton's Batman III
After breaking box office records with 1989's Batman, director Tim Burton and star Michael
Keaton returned three years later with Batman Returns, a movie that hinted at more adventures
to come.
In 1995, those adventures dutifully arrived — only now they were a neon-drenched debacle
fronted by Val Kilmer, directed by Joel Schumacher, and featuring a bright-green Jim Carrey chewing
the scenery.
What happened?
Burton's trilogy was ultimately sunk by its controversial and underperforming middle part.
Sure, Batman Returns received positive reviews and was a box office smash, but it didn't
perform nearly as well as the first film.
And it was widely criticized in the press for being too dark and violent for kids, damaging
McDonald's Happy Meal sales...
"Now you can get a Batman car in a McDonald's Happy Meal.
There's Catwoman's Coupe, Batman's launching Batmobile, or the Penguin's Roadster.
One toy with each Happy Meal you buy!"
So Warner Bros. chucked Burton, Keaton left, and the final part of the trilogy was replaced
by two ridiculous Schumacher films.
What would Burton's Batman III have looked like?
Billy Dee Williams — who'd played Harvey Dent in the '89 Batman — was set to play
Two Face.
He finally got the role in 2017's The Lego Batman Movie.
Marlon Wayans was cast as Robin in Batman Returns, but he was left on the cutting room
floor.
Industry rumors suggested Robin Williams was meant to play the Riddler, and Michelle Pfieffer
would return as Catwoman.
Would it have been any good?
Well, it couldn't have been much worse than Batman and Robin ...
"I'll finish off the city.
You kill the kids, but leave me the Bat!"
"arrrgh!"
David Fincher's Millennium trilogy
On paper, the Millennium trilogy must have looked like the surest bet in showbiz.
Hollywood movies based on the mega-selling books by Swedish author Stieg Larsson?
Directed by David Fincher, the genre-hopping talent behind Fight Club and Se7en?
Shirtless Daniel Craig?
"Shut up and take my money!"
The first Millennium movie, 2011's The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, managed to pull in
$223 million off a $90 million budget, enough to prompt talk of a sequel.
There were still two books left unfilmed in America at the time, and a Fincher-directed
and Craig-fronted Girl Who Played with Fire and Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest would
surely generate a tidy profit.
But Sony claims Craig wanted too much money to reprise the role of journalist Mikael Blomkvist
for two more films.
At one point, they considered completing the trilogy with a different lead.
Then they ditched Fincher, too, and talk of a trilogy went out the window.
Latest reports say Sony is planning a 2018 reboot with a new cast, adapting the semi-official
fourth Millennium book, The Girl in the Spider's Web, written by David Lagercrantz after Larsson's
death.
Chinatown
Not many people know that Roman Polanski's 1974 masterpiece Chinatown already has a sequel.
In 1990, Jack Nicholson reprised the role of grizzled PI Jake Gittes in The Two Jakes,
a sequel that failed to live up to the quality of its predecessor in just about every way.
"In this town, I'm the leper with the most fingers."
But had The Two Jakes been a box office hit, it would've paved the way for a full-on trilogy.
Gittes vs. Gittes would've seen Nicholson's detective take on a monopoly controlling access
to the L.A. freeway while also going through a messy divorce.
Unfortunately, The Two Jakes bombed so hard that screenwriter Robert Towne gave up on
the idea of Part 3 altogether.
Timothy Dalton's Bond trilogy
The never-filmed third and final Timothy Dalton James Bond movie was conceived as a way of
capping the actor's involvement with the franchise.
It would've given Dalton's Bond a big send-off while indulging in the themes that made his
previous two outings so distinct.
According to Charles Helfenstein's The Making of the Living Daylights, it was known in pre-production
as Bond 17, and got as far as the scripting stage.
The plot involved a British-Chinese megalomaniac threatening to unleash a worldwide computer
virus unless the British returned Hong Kong back to China.
Bond 17 stayed on the table right up until 1994, when Dalton got tired of waiting and
simply quit the role ...
"Then you have my resignation, sir."
"We're not a country club, 007!"
Bond was recast with Pierce Brosnan, and Bond 17 became Goldeneye.
Perhaps it's just as well.
Within two years of Goldeneye's release in 1997, Hong Kong was returned to China in the
real world, with nary an evil megalomaniac in sight.
Kick-Ass
Director Matthew Vaughn brought indie comic series Kick-Ass to life on the big screen
in 2010, with Aaron Taylor-Johnson starring as the namesake hero.
Praised for its adult themes, Kick-Ass received positive reviews from critics and managed
to become a modest box office success, prompting Universal to move forward with a sequel.
Directed by Jeff Wadlow, Kick-Ass 2 was released in August 2013 to not-so-kick-ass reviews.
Although the film was a decent commercial success, it failed to perform as well as the
first film.
Shortly before the release of Kick-Ass 2, creator Mark Millar confirmed plans for a
third movie that would largely depend upon how much money the second movie made.
In 2015, Vaughn said that he'd like to make a Hit-Girl prequel before tackling Kick-Ass
3, but don't hold your breath.
Hit-Girl herself, Chloe Grace Moretz, says poor box office numbers doomed the trilogy,
and she's quote, "done with the character."
And Vaughn hasn't commented on a potential third flick since.
His Dark Materials
In the wake of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy and the Harry Potter films,
studios were scrambling to find the next big fantasy epic.
New Line almost found it in His Dark Materials, a grim atheist fantasy series by British writer
Philip J. Pullman that had set the literary world alight a decade earlier.
It had battles.
Baddies.
School children sprinting through spectacular set pieces.
In a post-Potter world, it seemed a surefire success.
And it might've been, if the first film, The Golden Compass, hadn't managed to anger just
about everyone.
Fans were outraged that New Line tried to water down the books' anti-religion themes,
while religious organizations were outraged by the diluted leftovers of those same themes.
Fox News even claimed it was part of that year's "War on Christmas" — because of course
it did.
"Religion has been a source of peace, of serenity, of happiness, and I don't understand why militant
atheists wish to take that away from kids."
It also didn't help that New Line forced the creation of a cliff-hanging, gotta-watch-the-sequel
ending in an attempt to milk money right out of viewers' pockets.
So it's no big surprise the film made barely $70 million at the domestic box office against
its $180 million budget.
The global box office, added an impressive $300 million, but the damage had already been
done to its reputation.
The poor reviews and bad box office killed this trilogy as dead as the series' own God.

Welcome to Google Analytics for Beginners (3:19) - Duration: 3:20.
Hi, I'm Justin Cutroni. And I'm Krista Seiden. We're Analytics Advocates at Google.
Welcome to Google Analytics for Beginners. In this course we'll take you through a basic understanding
of Google Analytics. We'll show you how to create and implement an account, set up views and filters,
read basic reports, set up dashboards, perform basic analysis,
and set up goals and campaign tracking. To begin, let's start by defining "digital analytics"
and why it's important. So Krista, what's the deal with digital analytics?
Well Justin, people usually purchase goods in stages. In marketing, we have the concept
of a purchase funnel. There are different stages within the funnel that describe customer
interactions. A basic purchase funnel includes the following steps: Acquisition involves
building awareness and acquiring user interest; Behavior is when users engage with your business;
and Conversion is when a user becomes a customer and transacts with your business. In the offline
world, this process can be hard to measure. But in the online world, we can measure many
different aspects of the funnel using digital analytics. We can track what online behavior
led to purchases and use that data to make informed decisions about how to reach new
and existing customers. Think about an online store, such as the Google Merchandise Store.
It might have a goal to sell more t-shirts. Using digital analytics, the store could collect
and analyze data from their online advertising campaigns to see which are most effective
and expand those marketing efforts. For example, the store could analyze geographical sales
data to understand if people in certain places buy a lot of shirts and then run additional
advertising campaigns in those areas. They could also use analytics to understand how
users progress through their online shopping cart. If they notice that users have trouble
with a particular step on their website, they can make changes to the site to resolve the
problem. Different kinds of businesses can benefit from digital analytics. Publishers
can use it to create a loyal, highly-engaged audience and to better align on-site advertising
with user interests. Ecommerce businesses can use digital analytics to understand their customers'
online purchasing behavior and better market their products and services. And lead generation
sites can collect user information for sales teams to connect with potential leads.
While we've primarily talked about collecting data from a website, Google Analytics can
also collect behavioral data from a variety of systems such as mobile applications, online
point-of-sales systems, video game consoles, customer relationship management systems,
or other internet-connected platforms. This data is compiled into Analytics
reports, which you can use to perform in-depth analysis to better understand your customers
and their purchase journey. Then you can test out new solutions to improve your business.

Movies That Will Blow Everyone Away In 2019 - Duration: 12:39.
2019 may seem like it's a long way off, but movie studios are already filling up their
slates with big-budget, high-octane adventures that theatergoers are not going to want to
miss.
While some may say it's a bit early for people to be setting their calendar for midnight
release dates, we say that you can never plan too much ahead.
You might even get some sweet merch!
"Star Wars fans brave the cold, long lines, and traffic.
The first one thousand people got an exclusive Rogue One poster!"
So pop all your popcorn and clear space on the wall for all your sweet new posters...here
are all the movies that will blow you away in 2019.
The Lego Movie Sequel
The first Lego Movie was the surprise hit of 2014, making $469 million worldwide and
spawning a host of spin-offs, including the Lego Batman movie, which made over $300 million
worldwide in 2017.
However, the actual sequel to the original film has run into some production delays,
pushing its release back to February 2019.
One of the reasons for the hold-up?
A script rewrite from BoJack Horseman creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg.
Now that we can't wait to see.
How to Train Your Dragon 3
Check out the intense logline for How to Train Your Dragon 3: "As Hiccup fulfills his dream
of creating a peaceful dragon utopia, Toothless' discovery of an untamed, elusive mate draws
the Night Fury away.
When danger mounts at home and Hiccup's reign as village chief is tested, both dragon and
rider must make impossible decisions to save their kind."
Oscar-nominated writer and director Dean DeBlois says the third movie in the franchise, set
for release in March 2019, will be the "culmination of Hiccup's coming of age."
So expect the movie to tie the whole franchise together in one epic conclusion.
Captain Marvel
Marvel's first female-led superhero film, pegged for March 2019, is shaping up to be
worth the wait.
For one thing, Captain Marvel has Oscar winner Brie Larson as its lead, an actress who's
shown she has the ability to pull off action, comedy, and drama.
And for another, Marvel enlisted the directing team of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, who previously
helmed cult hits Half-Nelson and It's Kind of a Funny Story.
Add in the promise from Marvel head honcho Kevin Fiege that Captain Marvel will be "as
powerful a character as we've ever put in a movie" and you have the recipe for yet another
winner from Marvel Studios.
Godzilla: King of Monsters
Another March release, King of Monsters is the follow-up to the well-received 2014 Godzilla.
But that's where the similarities apparently end.
Other than returning star Ken Watanabe, the movie is slated to bring in a whole new cast
of human characters, with Vera Farmiga, Kyle Chandler, and Stranger Things star Millie
Bobby Brown playing a family swept up in the trouble the monster causes.
Sorry, Godzilla, but we're betting on Eleven...
"Ah!
She broke my arm!
My arm!"
"Go."
Shazam!
It's been a long time in the making, but the long awaited Shazam! movie from DC is currently
slated to finally hit theaters in April 2019.
Although Warner Bros. has yet to announce a lead, Shazam! promises to bring a new, lighter
tone to DC's otherwise pretty grim film universe.
Whether or not Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will appear as Black Adam remains to be seen, as
Shazam's archenemy has already had his own solo film greenlit.
Either way, it'll be nice to see a DC film where at least one scene takes place during
daylight hours.
"Shazam!"
Fast & Furious 9
Vin Diesel teased the release date for the ninth and tenth films in the Fast and the
Furious franchise on his Instagram before The Fate of the Furious even had its official
name.
And with the eighth movie tearing up the box office in 2017, the ninth is sure to be huge.
Considering the Fate of the Furious purposely left some loose ends dangling, it seems as
though the stage is already being set to make Fast & Furious 9 the fastest and most furious
film yet.
If that's even possible.
Avengers 4
In May 2019, the fourth Avengers film will mark the end of Marvel's Phase 3, which means
it's probably time to break out your tissues.
With the first wave of Marvel film franchises coming to an end — and with many of the
big-name actors' contracts expiring as well — Avengers 4 will probably result in quite
a few character deaths or retirements.
We'll learn a lot more about what to expect in Avengers 4 when Avengers: Infinity War
hits theaters in 2018.
But the movie is sure to be a can't-miss adventure.
Star Wars: Episode IX
Jurassic World's Colin Trevorrow will take on directing duties for the as-yet-untitled
final film in the third Star Wars trilogy, currently slated for a may 2019 release.
And if the past films have been any indication, this one is going to be epic. 2017's The Last
Jedi should tell us a lot about the plot of Star Wars: Episode IX, but we do know that
it'll provide a resolution to the trilogy, according to Lucasfilm president Kathleen
Kennedy.
And, if just the plot of the movie isn't enough to get you out to the theaters, the studio
is looking to set up a future of standalone movies and spinoffs — meaning Episode IX
will probably be yet another launching pad for years of the Star Wars franchise's future.
May it never end.
Toy Story 4
If you somehow didn't empty your tear ducts forever during Toy Story 3, Toy Story 4 will
arrive in June 2019.
According to Pixar chief creative officer and Toy Story director John Lasseter, the
treatment for the film, was "unbelievable," focusing on the love story between Woody and
Bo Peep and showing Woody and Buzz teaming up to find a missing Bo.
The movie also has big names behind it, with Lasseter set to co-direct alongside Inside
Out writer Josh Cooley, and a script by Celeste & Jesse Forever duo Rashida Jones and Will
McCormack.
"I'm Rashida Jones."
"I'm Will McCormack.
And we are currently at Pixar writing Toy Story 4."
The Pixar machine hasn't failed us yet, and we're excited to see their animated rom-com
on screen.
Transformers 7
Don't look now, but there's yet another Transformers movie coming out!
Actually, there's two, as Transformers 8 has already been announced too, with several more
spinoffs and sequels in development.
Just what will happen in June 2019's Transformers 7 is a closely guarded secret.
But we're going to give you an exclusive right now: it will involve CGI robots punching each
other until your eyes and ears bleed motor oil.
The only thing that could be better?
If someone figured out how to combine the franchise with Fast & Furious so all those
autobots were being driven by Vin Diesel and Ludacris.
Hey, we can dream, can't we?
The Secret Life of Pets 2
The original Secret Life of Pets flooded movie theaters with adorableness in the summer of
2016.
And although the sequel has been pushed back to July 2019 from its originally planned 2018
release date, there are still a lot of good things going for it.
Set to follow the continuing adventures of New York City's craziest pets, the sequel
will bring back the writing and directing team from the original.
That means it should also be able to bring back the magic that made the first film so
great.
"The revolution has begun!
Liberated forever!
Domesticated never!
Yeah!"
Spider-Man: Homecoming 2
Tom Holland's Spider-Man is set to continue his adventures in a second standalone film
in July 2019.
It should follow another year of Peter Parker's high school experience, similar to the annual
installments of Harry Potter.
While we've already seen plenty of Spider-Man films, Holland's version promises to be different
in a number of ways.
For one thing, if what Holland says is true about the sequel staying in high school, it
will be the only Spider-Man film iteration to remain there for more than one movie.
That way, it can mine new story ideas that other films have breezed past.
There are lots of possibilities for Holland's Peter Parker, and it should be interesting
to see what webs the filmmakers spin.
The Lion King
Disney's remake machine is already going strong, and Jon Favreau's live-action version of The
Lion King, set to ascend to the throne in July 2019, is expected to be huge.
The movie will bring back James Earl Jones to reprise his role as Mufasa from the original,
with Donald Glover providing the voice of Simba.
And those stars already have some equally impressive backup in the form of Seth Rogen
and Billy Eichner, who will voice Timon and Pumba.
Given how well Favreau's live action Jungle Book adaptation turned out, this is one you
won't want to miss.
Frozen 2
Bundle up, because Frozen 2 is coming your way in November 2019.
Not much is known right now about the sequel to the 2013 mega-hit.
But we're ready to guarantee it will feature at least a couple catchy songs that are sure
to become karaoke mainstays for the rest of eternity.
The sequel will further explore the relationship between Idina Menzel's Elsa and Kristen Bell's
Anna, two of Disney's most engaging and feminist heroines to date.
So while we don't know anything specific about the plot yet, we can guarantee that Frozen
2 is sure to warm your cold heart.
Oh, and also:
"Let it go!
Let it go!
I am one with the wind and sky!
Let it go!
Let it go!"
Just when you finally got that out of your head!
Sorry.
Masters of the Universe
Despite losing McG as its director, the December 2019 Masters of the Universe live action film
is still shaping up to be a powerhouse thanks to the writing of David S. Goyer, the guy
behind Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, Blade, and more.
There are also a lot of A-list actors reportedly vying to play roles in the film.
With more stars scrambling to sign on to superhero movies in recent years, it looks like Masters
of the Universe should have no problem assembling an impressive cast of characters.
Shrek 5
Shrek 5 won't hit theaters until nearly nine years after Shrek Forever After, but Dreamworks
is assuring viewers it will be totally worth the wait.
The fifth film is apparently set to launch a reinvented Shrek franchise, with a whole
potential Shrek universe on the way as well.
Screenwriter Michael McCullers said, "there's been four movies and a lot of material, so
the characters are pretty beloved and they're great characters, but you also have to think
of a pretty new take at that point."
While it's unclear exactly what that reinvention will entail, it will be pretty interesting
to see which fairy tale myths the franchise decides to mine next.
The Batman
Right now, the big story around The Batman comes from the movie's numerous delays.
But if you look past all the negative talk, the film is actually shaping up to be pretty
good.
Ben Affleck may not have dissolved into the role of Bruce Wayne as well as Christian Bale
did, but he's been improving with every appearance.
With a turn in Justice League coming up, he'll hopefully have more time to settle into the
character and to develop his own caped crusader.
Cloverfield's Matt Reeves is also set to direct, and the script also reportedly recently underwent
a rewrite from an Oscar winner, with Argo and Justice League writer Chris Terrio turning
in a draft that everyone is "very happy" with.
Hopefully they'll find a way to squeeze some of this in:

Crazy Facts About Kissing You Never Knew - Duration: 6:01.
It's no surprise that kissing is an important part of relationships.
In fact, one study showed that more than half of men and women have found themselves less
attracted to a potential partner after a bad first kiss.
That's a lot of pressure during the early days of courtship!
"So when my date takes me home and kisses me goodnight, if I don't hear the philharmonic
in my head, I dump him."
Whether you refer to it as smooching, snogging, tonsil hockey, or making out, here are some
crazy facts about kissing you probably never knew.
The origins of kissing
The act of kissing evolved from sniffing, according to Sheril Kirshenbaum, author of
The Science of Kissing.
Centuries ago, people commonly used smell to learn about a person's social status,
health, and even mood.
Kirshenbaum explained to The Huffington Post:
"There were a lot of sniff greetings.
They would brush the nose across the face, because there are scent glands on our faces,
and over time the brush of the face became a brush of the lips, and the social greeting
was born that way."
Kissing and your health
According to Dr. Sivan Finkel, kissing stimulates our salivary glands, which reduces acids in
our mouths.
But cavity-causing bacteria can also be transferred when you kiss, so beware of locking lips with
someone who doesn't brush regularly.
Bad breath is your first clue!
But the effects of kissing on your health don't stop at your mouth.
Kissing also reduces cortisol, a hormone linked to weight-gain, high blood pressure, and high
cholesterol.
It even gives a healthy boost to your immune system.
Dr. Yael Varnado explained how that works while talking to Match.com: "Swapping spit
means swapping germs, and that is nature's natural form of vaccination."
Just make sure your partner isn't already sick before you pucker up.
Though diet and exercise are the best ways to get healthy, a little kissing won't hurt
either — it's just what the doctor ordered!
Kissing makes you feel good
The main health benefit of kissing is the release of oxytocin and dopamine, according
to licensed clinical social worker Kaity Rodriguez, who told The List:
"Oxytocin is the bonding hormone that is also released when mothers nurse their babies,
during sex, and even cuddling.
It makes you feel closer [and] more intimately attached to the individual."
Dopamine, on the other hand, is the "feel-good hormone," which helps you experience pleasure.
Dopamine is responsible for regulating mood, sleep, and cognition, while also helping with
decision-making and creativity.
So basically, a little lip locking can make your whole day better.
Kissing uses a lot of muscles
Finally, a fun way to workout!
Kissing can burn up to 26 calories per minute, and involves more than 30 facial muscles and
112 postural muscles, according to the American Journal of Medicine blog.
It's also a good way to skip the Botox, since kissing can help smooth lines and wrinkles,
tighten muscles in your neck and jaw, and boost circulation to your face, which can
help you achieve that sought-after glow.
It's certainly a good excuse to engage in regular make-out sessions, even as we age.
"You should be kissed and often, and by someone who knows how."
The Guinness World Record for kissing
Think back to the beginning of a relationship, when the butterflies of new attraction meant
you could kiss for hours without taking a break.
But even the longest of make-out sessions in early courtship can't compare to the Guinness
World Record for longest continuous kiss, set during a 2013 competition in Thailand.
After 58 hours, 35 minutes, and 58 seconds, Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarat were the last
couple standing, winning more than $9,000 in cash and prizes.
"Lip balm?"
Your kissing style develops before you're even born
When you kiss a partner, do you tilt your head to the left or right?
As it turns out, you may not be making that decision consciously.
German researcher Onur Güntürkün observed more than 100 kissing couples in various locations
in the United States, Germany, and Turkey.
He noted that two-thirds of couples tilted their heads to the right while smooching,
a preference that likely originates in the womb and during the first six months after
birth.
Something to think about the next time you pucker up!
Kissing can help you find 'the one'
Science says locking lips can let us know when we've found someone suitable for a long-term
relationship.
Biological anthropologist Helen Fisher says people are drawn to others with certain biological
profiles, and kissing might be one way to find the right match — thanks to the whole
swapping spit factor.
As unsexy as it sounds, the hormones present in spit can subconsciously tell us whether
someone is a good mate.
Kissing in public could get you arrested
Though it's highly doubtful kissing will result in jail time in the United States, some older
laws regarding the act of affection remain on the books in various states and cities.
For example, men with mustaches in Iowa can't legally kiss women in public.
In Hartford, Connecticut, men dare not kiss their wives on Sundays.
And in Colorado, sleeping women are off-limits when it comes to kissing.
If we're being honest, that last one makes sense — no one should kiss another person
without their permission.
Sorry, Sleeping Beauty.
Fear of kissing
Don't laugh: The fear of kissing is a real thing.
Officially known as philemaphobia, the fear of kissing is most common with inexperienced
kissers who are afraid of making a mistake.
It can also be caused by various other factors, including a fear of germs, a fear of bodily
odors, a fear of touch itself, or a fear of intimacy.
Since severe philemaphobia can affect one's overall well-being and ability to pursue romantic
relationships, the condition may require treatment.
Pucker up, buttercup
There's one thing about kissing science has yet to crack — and that's how to be good
at it.
While magazines may claim to have the answers, there's really only two surefire ways to make
sure you're kissing your partner in a way that brings them to their knees: one, ask
them what they want.
And two, practice makes perfect.

The US government cannot be trusted so long as Donald Trump runs it - Duration: 5:52.
Raise your right hand.
Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but
the truth, so help you God?
So long as Donald Trump is president, the actions of
the US government and the men and the women who work for it cannot be trusted.
To understand why, I want you to watch two particular parts of James Comey's
testimony. At the time, did you say anything to the president about, that is
not an appropriate request? Rubio was talking about Trump's request that Comey
end the investigation into Michael Flynn. Sir, did you tell the White House
Counsel that is not an appropriate request, someone needs to go tell the
president that he can't do these things? I didn't, no. Why? I don't know. As I
said earlier, I think the circumstances were such that it was, I
was a bit stunned and didn't have the presence of mind. Then there was a
similar exchange with Sen. Dianne Feinstein. Now here's the question: You're
big. You're strong. I know the Oval Office, and I know what happens to people when
they walk in, there is a certain amount of intimidation. But why didn't you stop
and say, Mr. President, this is wrong. I cannot discuss this with you. It's a
great question. Maybe if I were stronger I would have. What is amazing about these
exchanges if they're the favorite exchanges of Donald Trump's defenders. But they're
so scary if you listen to them closely. I was so stunned by the conversation that
I just took it in and the only thing I could think to say, because I was playing
in my mind, because I could remember every word he said. Republicans see these
back and forths as devastating to Comey. The reasoning, as I understand it, is that
if Trump's request of Comey was so egregious, so awful, then how come Comey
didn't tell Trump on the spot –
PAUL RYAN: "The president's new at this."
– that it was over the line? How come he didn't quit right then and there?
I remember saying, I agree he's
a good guy, as a way of saying I'm not agreeing with what you just asked me to
do. Again, maybe other people would be stronger in that circumstance. But that
Was how I conducted myself. I hope I'll never have another
opportunity. Maybe if I did it again I would do it better. You can see Trump's son
making a version of this argument on Twitter. He even does it with a
laughing/crying emoji. But James Comey was a director of the FBI. As
director of the FBI he had a 10-year term designed to grant him unusual
independence. He led an agency with a proud culture of resisting outside
interference. He was exposed daily to the most unnerving secrets and profound
threats that face a country. In other words, Comey is one of the hardest civil
servants to intimidate. But when trapped in a room with the president of the
United States, and when his job and all the good he believed he can do in that
job is dangled before him, even he felt the pressure. We know this is how Trump
works. Asked for qualities he looks for in new hires, Trump replied: "The thing that
is most important to me is loyalty." Then there's this extraordinary passage from
The Art of the Deal. In it, Trump is praising his mentor Roy
Cohn. Compare him with all the hundreds of respectable guys who make careers
that are boasting about their uncompromising integrity but have
absolutely no loyalty. They only care about what's best for them and don't
think twice about stabbing a friend in the back if the friend becomes a problem.
What I liked most about Roy Cohn was that he would do just the opposite. So of
course Trump asked Comey for loyalty. Of course he asked him to protect his
friend Michael Flynn. It's a height of naivete to believe this same story isn't
playing out elsewhere in Trump's Administration, to believe that it ends with
James Comey, or to believe that every public servants Trump tries to intimidate or
asks for loyalty will fare as well or have as much integrity as James Comey. Think
of how this could have gone. Imagine it wasn't Comey who Trump had invited to dinner,
but a candidate for the FBI directorship who shared Trump's values, who was more
focused on his own career advancement than on his integrity. Imagine Trump
asked for loyalty and this person immediately agreed. We would never know
that conversation had happened, but the Federal Bureau of Investigation would
now be serving Trump, not the American people.
And this is what scares me: It might have already happened. On Wednesday, Trump
nominated Christopher Wray to replace James Comey as FBI director. How do we know the
reason Trump chose Wray over all the other candidates isn't because Wray said
yes, I will be loyal to you. Is what I'm saying fair to Wray? Maybe not. Maybe he
didn't do any of that. But this is a cloud of suspicion the US government
will be under so long as Donald Trump is president. We know Trump holds an office
gives him vast power for intimidation, for vengeance. We know he's a man who
will use that power to serve his own ends.
We know that people who survive in Donald Trump's employ are those who
carry out his commands. We know that those who refuse get fired, like James
Comey. In the American system, the presidency is an office bounded by
constitutional limits and competing institutions, yes, but it is just as
importantly bounded by the morality and personal rectitude of whoever occupies
it. There was little doubt before Comey's presentation that Trump was of poor moral
character. There is no doubt after it. Trump is dangerously unfit for this role.
The defense cannot be, maybe the President United States isn't
"technically" a criminal. And then only maybe. I would ask Republicans hearing
this to imagine the word Trump replaced with Clinton or with Obama. How would
they feel if everything I've described here was done by Hillary Clinton? How
afraid would they be if it was President Obama acting like this? That is how they
should feel now. The country needs more from them right now, needs more from all
of us, than excuses for behavior that we know is wrong.
Of course there needs to be a degree of independence between DOJ, FBI, and a White
House, and a line of communication is established. The president's new at this.
He's new to government, and so he probably wasn't steeped in the
long-running protocols that established the relationships between DOJ, FBI, and
White Houses. He's just new to this.

Lemonaiding The Enemy - Fruit Ninja Frenzy Force (Ep. 9) - Duration: 11:29.
[♪♪♪]
Under an ordinary house in an ordinary neighborhood,
four kids found the secrets
to the messiest martial art of all time!
Now the young ninjas use their powers
to fight great evil!
"Great" as in "big," not "good." Ha!
Anyway, Fruit Ninja: Frenzy Force!
Prepare to feel the fricasseed fury
of Mark Samurai!
I don't know if any amount of training
will help you!
What are you talking about?
I'm a natural!
[squelch]
Stealth!
I can beat them at their own game!
Beat who?
I missed a game?
Give me the best you've got!
[Niya]: The Fruit Scroll seriously said
he was our greatest enemy?
That's one ancient typo.
Okay, maybe those weren't the best examples.
But, uh...
Again!
I am so rockin'!
The Fruit Nimrods will be sleeping
between the twin burger buns of defeat tonight!
Whoa!
Get 'em off! Get 'em off!
Ouchie!
Ouchie!
If only you had half
the skill, courage, and determination
of your great great great et cetera grandfather.
Aw, come on! Come back!
Gimme a second chance!
I can totally kick banana!
Yow!
I like workin' up a sweat,
but minus the work part.
Niya and Ralph should be helping.
Where are they?
Ralph wanted Niya
to try some new salad place or something.
It's salad. But better!
It's been fried.
This isn't lettuce.
It's moldy green meat...
[sniffing and gagging]
they've reused!
It's called "recycling," Niya.
I must be stronger than I thought.
These boxes are getting lighter the longer I lift them!
Yeah, go figure.
Let's finish up
before we have to get to real work.
The only "work"
we've been up to for the last week
is kicking the deep-fried behind
of Mark Samu...
[farting]
[toot]
...Rai...
Yes, I know,
I'm a very terrifying bad guy, usually.
I hear this is the place for a good smoothie
and a sympathetic ear.
You kids do look familiar, though.
Have we met?
You picked the right place...sir.
What's...what's up?
More like "What's down?"
I might change my name to the Deep-Fried Loser.
These totally not cool Fruit Ninjas
keep making me look like the worst super-villain ever.
[blender runs] Have you ever thought
that maybe this might be the universe
pointing you to something better?
Like a sign that instead of being a villain,
you could do good deeds?
Interesting.
Continue.
You know, it doesn't take a rocket philosopher
to see that you'll never have a chance
against the Fruit Ninjas!
...that I don't know at all.
[crying]
That's it. You're right.
I'm hanging up my sword for good.
[crying]
Wow.
What upset him?
You did, Peng!
Way to be sensitive.
Yeah, but he is a bad guy.
Yeah, he's bad,
but he's sort of a doof.
I kind of feel sorry for him.
Well, I was just telling him the truth.
Hello there.
[yelling]
Sometimes the best truth is to lie.
Why are you a pineapple?
Deception can be deceiving,
except when the deception defeats the deceptor.
That's the solution to our problem!
What's the solution?
Mark Samurai!
It's fine for us to fry his bacon,
but I don't want him
to be all sad about it...
Go on.
Deception defeating the deceptor...
We'll fake a battle
and let the Samurai beat us!
That's... not such a good idea!
Peng!
Hello?
A little help?
May all bear witness to my shame.
I will shatter my sword
upon the ceremonial petrified gristle!
Really?
It's bad enough I'm expected to eat this...
[sniffing] Ugh.
I can't even destroy my sword right.
Ow!
Samurai, prepare for defeat
at the funny end of my apple avalanche!
Though we aren't too confident
about the chances of our success, right?
Totes.
I am super-duper scared.
Forget it.
I don't want to fight.
Aw, c'mon...
Just a little fight?
Answer for your crimes and all?
I haven't even committed crimes.
That's what a lame villain I am.
Whoa!
Ow!
My lower lumbar!
I definitely pulled it!
The Samurai got me!
I did?
Samurai, you are tougher than we suspected.
Whatever you do, do not grease me!
Oh no!
I'm going to get massive zits from this!
There is no mercy from Mark Samurai!
Feel the burn
of the dragonfruit's fire, Samurai!
Sensei's Fruit Fact number 487.
Eating too much dragonfruit can turn your pee red!
Sensei's Fruit Fact not to be taken as actual fact.
[yelling]
Have you guys gone coco-nuts?
Since when was this guy hard to beat?
It's not a real fight.
We're fake losing to cheer him up.
I'm confused.
Which is normal...
Therefore, this makes sense?
I...You...
I give up.
Ha! I'm unstoppable!
It's showtime.
Taste my grease, ninjas!
Oh no!
I'm under attack!
That's going to leave a mark.
[war cries]
Ha ha ha!
Nowhere to run now, Fruit Nitwits!
What's the play, Peng?
We get defeated! Isn't that cool?
No! Also not cool would be falling into that thing
and getting grilled!
Less chatter, more splatter!
I defeated the Fruit Ninjas!
I am as powerful as you were,
Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great Great
Great Great Great Great Great Great Great
[gasping] Great Great Grandpa!
I'm brilliant.
You can say it.
You have any bright ideas
on how to get the smell of goat nuggets
out of my clothes?
Congealed nugget skins.
Bonus!
[laughing] Well, well, well.
Here's a dessert I didn't expect.
Mark Samurai!
What? No!
It can't be.
Chumplings!
[war cries]
Seb. I'm sorry.
If I hadn't tried to deceive the Samurai,
we wouldn't be in this mess.
They're coming in!
Deception can be deceiving
except when the deception defeats the deceptor.
Mmm, goat nuggets.
Get them!
That's it!
Deception defeating the deceptor!
We've gotta use the tricksters' tricks
against them!
Does this mean we can fight back now?
You're a terrible super-villain.
You're a coward!
A real supervillain would attack us himself!
Ha ha!
What are you going to say to that?
[growling]
You want head on?
Eat grease, Ninjas!
Ha! Fooled you!
Just what we wanted...
heat-hardened starfruit shurikens!
Recycling!
See, Niya?
You'd understand if you'd just eaten that green meat.
Let it go, Ralph.
Oh, no.
Well, at least no one is seeing us like this.
Now, that would be humiliating.
[honking]
[laughing]
Oh no.
Hey, Samurai, tough day?
I mean, so I heard.
Tough day? No.
I just rolled by to tell you guys
I've never been happier.
It's clear the ninjas sought me out
because they fear my power,
so that must mean I'm a real bad guy!
Am I the only sane person at this stand?
I go forth to prepare for the battles to come!
Yeah, see, I told you it'd work!
How did it work?
We now have another villain to take care of
when he was just about to quit!
Yep... I'm a genius.
[laughing]

The idea is based on the fact that the makers of printers have very small income from the sale of printers as printing devices (high competition on the world market). But mostly the profit is through the sale of consumables (inks, cartridges, papers, films). Not so much, and this draft proposes a very large range of brand new consumables, with a very wide range of applications both blank and already own the printers, which are now used mainly for printing on paper. "PHOTODAN" gives huge opportunities for creative expression, production of a wide range of new products which satisfy the most sophisticated needs of the person, the application together with embroidering computer machines, modeling, advertising, new media for printers, manufacture of new exclusive gifts and haberdashery products, application photos, packaging, textile label, interior design, furniture production, further tailoring of exclusive clothes by using design and computer cutting, the low cost exclusive products. The essence of the idea lies in the fact that I developed technology to produce a whole new set of blanks for inkjet and laser printers. The essence of these statements is as follows: take an ordinary woven material (you can even retail), regardless of the raw material composition, processed by special chemical drug (my manufacturer - patented) method of rolling a foam roller or spills, further squeezing, drying and packaging (like packaged paper for inkjet printers) in stock, or woven material. For example, one package "photodan" containing an assortment of linen, cotton, viscose, crepe de Chine, satin, chiffon etc., or packing or roll one type of fabric, but in a certain number 50 - 200 - 400 sheets or roll. This "phototone" is suitable for all types of printers and provides additional opportunities for the use of printers for printing on woven materials, nonwoven textile materials, leather and imitation with the quality for the further tailoring of exclusive clothing and use of products, design of office interiors, furniture, murals, paintings batik, etc. The cost of processing woven materials, leather, etc. according to the calculations is 4 rubles to 27 rubles. per 1 sq. m. depending on the material being processed and the purpose of printing on the workpiece for advertising posters inside, outside, panels, furniture, paintings, Wallpaper, future, clothing, accessories etc. including the cost of chemicals and amortization line processing of materials. The strength characteristics of the printed image on the "PHOTOTONE" are resistant to all physical-chemical and mechanical influences, which is exposed to printed material in the process of operation, which is confirmed by certificates of the Russian Federation. In addition, the resulting treatment the fabric is fully consistent with the state sanitary-epidemiological rules and norms of MU 1353-76 and GOST R 50729-95 (products are certified). Safety: absolutely. Minimum production location and equipment required: just a room in an apartment or a heated utility room (preferably ventilated) not less than 15 sq. m., tables width of processed fabric, 2-shaft and on the edges of the table for feeding from a roll and winding roll in dried tissue, a heat fan for drying.

When Asked About Loretta Lynch, What Comey Said Next Left The Room SPEECHLESS - Duration: 2:32.
When Asked About Loretta Lynch, What Comey Said Next Left The Room SPEECHLESS
By Emily Nowak
Shocking news is coming from James Comey�s testimony today, and liberals are going to
hate it.
Hillary Clinton was under investigation for sending and receiving thousands of government
emails, including classified information, on a secure server.
See Comey say it himself in the below video!
According to Former FBI Director James Comey�s testimony today in Congress, Obama�s Attorney
General Lorretta Lynch asked him specifically to not refer to the on-going Hillary email
probe as an �investigation.� Rather, she asked that he simply refer to it as a �matter.�
What?!
This is a new low, even for the Obama Administration.
I can only imagine why Lynch would rather call it a �matter� than what it really
was�an investigation.
Advertisement
Comey said himself that he was �confused and concerned� by this directive.
Compounding the scandal surrounding this unusual and clearly dishonest request, Loretta Lynch
and Bill Clinton had a secret meeting on a tarmac soon after.
Comey said that in order to �protect the credibility of the investigation,� he felt
as though he had to make an announcement of the email probe in July, separately from the
Loretta Lynch�s Justice Department.
So, it sounds like the liberals were right and Comey was being coerced during an investigation
after all�although I don�t think this is exactly what they had in mind.
This is a HUGE story that is just now breaking, but it definitely suggests more than a little
meddling by the Obama Administration in the 2016 election.
Thank God Hillary didn�t end up winning, or we would never have known.
Spread this story IMMEDIATELY to get this out there.
The press is not going to talk about this one bit.
Help us using the following 2 steps below:
Share this if you think that Loretta Lynch is guilty of a cover up!
Comment �Drain the Swamp Trump� below this post so that he sees it and starts investigating
this alleged gang of criminals.
Liberty Writers will have more on this so stay tuned!
