Waching daily Jul 31 2017

With an estimated net worth of $245 million, it's no wonder Leo rented one of the world's

largest yachts just to watch the World Cup in Brazil, controversially flew in a private

jet from Cannes to New York to accept his environmental award, and owns a private island

in Belize where he smashes all that super model ass.

With that being said, welcome to The Real Net Worth, where we explore your favorite

celebrities, businesses, properties and all other assets in between, so let's begin

and take a closer look at Leonardo DiCaprio's Real Net Worth.

First off, who is Leonardo DiCaprio?

Born on November 11, 1974 in Los Angeles, Leo is the only child of Irmelin and George

DiCaprio.

Leo attended John Marshall High School, but eventually dropped out after his junior year

to pursue his acting career, later earning his GED.

Called the Good enough degree.

In 1990, Leo got his television breakout when he landed a role on the short-lived series

Parenthood.

Once that got canceled, he booked a recurring role in the series Growing Pains.

Leo then moved to films playing the mentally challenged brother of Johnny Depp in What's

Eating Gilbert Grape.

This role earned Leo his first Oscar nomination at 19 years old.

Sometimes it does work to go full retard.

(Tropic Thunder Clip, Simple Jack clip) It wasn't until 1996 when Leo starred as

Romeo in the modernized version of Romeo amd Juliet, that he cemented his status as a Hollywood

heartthrob.

This and his iconic role in Titanic skyrocketed his career to mainstream success.

At first Leo was hesitant to play Jack Dawson, but Director James Cameron encouraged him

to star in the film, and now he's on top of the world.

After that Leo starred in back-to-back critically panned films, The Man in the Iron Mask and

The Beach.

But his career picked up in 2002 as he starred in the Steven Spielberg film Catch Me If You

Can.

This was the beginning of Leo moving from teen heartthrob to respected actor in Hollywood.

He then worked with A-List directors such as Ridley Scott in Body of Lies, Christopher

Nolan in Inception, Quentin Tarantino in Django Unchained, and frequent collaborator Martin

Scorsese in Gangs of New York, The Aviator, and The Departed.

In 2015, Leo starred in The Revenant and finally received the Oscar for Best Actor after being

nominated six times.

So where does Leo take all his hot models after a night out?

Leo purchased a Malibu Villa in 1998 for $1.6 million.

Since then Leo has owned many properties, including an estate in Palm Springs for $5.3

million, an apartment in Battery Park for $3.6 million, and owns a 104-acre private

island in Belize for $1.75 million where he plans on building an

eco-resort.

Now what kind of whip does Leo ride around in?

The environmentally friendly actor owns a Frisker Karma, a plug-in hybrid car worth

around $100,000 and a Toyota Prius costing about $25,000.

He also drives a Lexus Hybrid estimated to cost about $35,000.

Literally, a weeks worth of Titanic residuals paid off his Lexus.

BUSINESSES: What other businesses is Leo apart of?

Besides acting, Leo has served as a producer with his production company Appian Way Productions

in various films, especially environmental documentaries like The 11th Hour, Cowspiracy,

and Before the Flood.

Leo is known for being heavily involved in environmental activism, even creating The

Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation which is a non-profit organization that brings awareness to environmental

issues.

What a fcuking saint!

Leo partnered with Netflix to produce documentaries and docu-series on the streaming service.

Really bro?

You need more money?

Leo has endorsement deals with companies like Tag Heuer Watches, a Chinese advertising campaign

for OPPO mobile, and a Japanese commercial for Jim Beam.

Lucky mother fucker! all that ass play and success.

Makes HD want to suck those balls.

JUST IN: Top Democrat Pays His Wife $400,000 With Campaign Funds… This Is Corruption | Top Stories - Duration: 3:03.

Corruption runs deep in the Democrat party.

On Saturday, it as discovered that Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez, a fierce immigration

critic of President Donald Trump, has been secretly giving his wife hundreds of thousands

of dollars in campaign funds over the last few years, bringing the total amount collected

up to a whopping $400,000.

And he's given her tens of thousands this year so far.

Free Beacon reports:

Gutierrez, who was first elected to Congress in 1992, recently grabbed headlines for saying

that Democrats would "eliminate" Trump as president if they take back the House of

Representatives.

It appears the one thing Gutierrez won't eliminate anytime soon is the lucrative campaign

payments to his wife.

Rep. Gutierrez's wife, Soraida Gutierrez, was a registered lobbyist in the state of

Illinois from 2003 to 2009 before joining Gutierrez for Congress in 2010.

Since this time, Soraida has been generously compensated for acting as the campaign's

office manager, treasurer, and fundraiser.

Soraida has also been the top recipient of cash from the committee on numerous occasions

since she began receiving payments from her husband's campaign.

From Jan. 1 to June 30, Gutierrez's campaign has made $30,000 worth of payments to Soraida,

Federal Election Commission filings show.

During this time, Gutierrez's committee reported $72,000 in expenditures.

Soraida is paid in part for providing fundraising services for the campaign.

The committee has raised only $10,505.02 since January—$1,400 of which has been refunded—giving

the committee $9,105.02 in net contributions this cycle.

The committee has $118,669 on hand.

Prior to this election cycle, Soraida took in a total of $385,000 in payments from her

husband's campaign, meaning that she has now been paid $415,000 from Gutierrez for

Congress.

In 2010, Soraida was given $44,000 from her husband's campaign and was the top recipient

of cash from the committee that cycle.

In 2012, Soraida was paid $93,000 from the committee, again making her the top recipient

of campaign cash.

In 2014, Mrs. Gutierrez was again the top recipient as she hauled in $110,000.

During the 2016 cycle, her payments increased to $125,856.

What do you think about this?

Write A Screenplay Or TV Pilot by Daniel Calvisi - Duration: 3:22.

Film Courage: What's the first step in writing a screenplay, either for television or feature

film?

Daniel Calvisi: Well, I think it's making sure that your concept can sustain a full

feature film or a series.

Now in TV it's trickier here because you not only need to have a great pilot (which

is one episode of your show) but you need to have a concept that can sustain a series

for multiple seasons.

So you need to have what a friend of mine called a playground (a dramatic playground)

which is you create this very specific world and then you put these very interesting characters

into it to play and bang against each other and have lots of dramatic conflict.

If that idea is something that can sustain and run for awhile, maybe that's a better

idea for TV.

Whereas feature films have closed endings, so you are going to have an idea with a beginning,

middle and end.

And that's pretty much that.

Film Courage: Okay.

Let's take the feature film scenario.

So [what is] the first step in writing a screenplay for a feature film?

Daniel Calvisi: I would say story mapping it out.

If you have a concept that you think is great and you're passionate about it and you want

to write it, write a story map (which is your basic outline).

So it's going to be for 8 to 12 major signpost beats and your 4 story engines and you're

going to define your core elements first (what I call the basic story map), which is your

protagonist, their external and internal goal, the main dramatic conflict standing in the

way of that goal that is going to generate all those obstacles that are really going

to sustain the story.

Your controlling theme which is your major meta theme that you are going to be exploring,

and then a few other elements like your protagonist.

You want to have your skill, their misbehavior (a misbehavior is a quirk or personality trait

that consistently generates conflict) and then their achilles heel which is just that

thing that could destroy them, could potentially destroy them.

So once you have those core elements and then you have the major signpost beats of your

outline, then you are ready to do a full scene outline and then jump in and write pages.

Film Courage: What is the first step in writing a screenplay for a TV series?

Daniel Calvisi: I would always say start the story as late as possible, enter the story

as late as possible so you don't have much set-up and so the story can get going right

away.

Film Courage: Do you think sometimes new writers they overwrite and it's too dense and they

are giving us too much backstory?

Daniel Calvisi: Yeah…too much set-up.

You don't need that much set-up.

Maybe you're opening with a flash forward like in Breaking Bad.

It's like BOOM! - we are in this intense scene where there is this guy in his underwear

driving an RV like a bat out of hell and he has a gas mask on.

And he crashes the RV and in the script he (Brian Cranston) was called underwear man

before we find out his character's name was Walter White.

But they just BOOM! dropped us right into the action and that is something that really

grabs a reader.

Facebook Live With OBS Studio - Duration: 16:12.

Hey there is Ashley Perkins. Welcome back to the best place to build income,

influence, and impact for your business or brand online. If you're new here make

sure you subscribe because I share new social media and brand strategy

tutorials every week. So it's no secret that Facebook live is the easiest way to

get found by your target audience, increase trust with them, and convert them

to clients or customers. But with all of the big brands and influencers out there

stealing the spotlight with their live streams, how are we supposed to stand out

and capture our audience's attention? By creating custom, branded overlays and

slide shares for your Facebook live using a streaming service like OBS

Studio. Now there is a bit of a tech curve with this software, but don't worry

I'm going to walk you through exactly how to create your branded content and

overlays then set them up within OBS for your Facebook live stream.

Alrighty, let's first get started by creating your custom overlay that's

going to appear on your Facebook livestream so you can stand out from the

crowd. One of my favorite tools to use for this is Canva. Canva comes free

and on a paid business plan. I have actually upgraded to the business plan

and loved it but you can still do everything that you'll see here using

the free plan so let's get started. You'll want to make sure that you're

using custom dimensions so you fit the Facebook newsfeed properly. And the

custom dimensions for a Facebook livestream are twelve hundred by six

hundred and seventy-five pixels and then all you've got to do is click design

and Canva is going to give you a blank template in the size that you've

specified so you can start creating your custom overlay for OBS studio and make

it entirely your own.

Alrighty, and I am totally happy with the way that this looks. You can get as

creative as you want and add as much text and as many other elements as you'd

like, but for me this works perfectly and I know I won't take away from my live

video it'll be the perfect accent. So I'm going to go ahead and title that and

download it, and when I download it I'm just going to make sure that I download

the PNG version with the transparent background ,and that way it won't block

me when I'm using it as an overlay on OBS Studio. Another great way to stand

out in a crowd of Facebook live streams is to create a custom live stream that

is both educational and entertaining, and a great way to diversify your live

stream from all of the other live streams currently happening on Facebook

is to create a slideshow or custom slides to also include intermittently

from your face-to-face broadcasts with your audience. It just adds an extra

layer of expertise, entertainment and education for your audience, and it also

gives you a break from being on camera for the entire time. So to create a slide

like the one you're looking at right here you'll want to again

input the custom dimensions into Canva which are 1200 by 675, and then you'll

have a blank template as you saw earlier and then you can just go ahead and add

any elements you want like photos and text and any other tips and tricks that

you may be talking about during your live stream. So again you're breaking up

the content of your live stream, also giving your audience something tangible

that they could perhaps take notes off of, and again like I said as an added

bonus it gives you a break from being on camera. Now for these you won't have to

worry so much about downloading the transparent background because

we're using them as slide decks and that essentially means that they're going to

cover the entire screen so you will not be visible. So again you want to just

download the PNG version as is and save it to wherever you'd like. So now that

you have your custom overlays and slides ready to go it's time to get started

setting up your Facebook live stream in OBS studio. If you haven't already go to

obsproject.com or just Google 'Open Broadcaster Software' and you can

download it for Windows, Mac, or Linux completely free and then you're all set

to get started streaming live to Facebook using this free tool. So once

you have OBS downloaded you just want to open it up because we're going to get it

set up for your Facebook live stream. So think of OBS Studio a little bit like

Photoshop. I mean this in the sense that there is one profile open which you can

see over here which is a scene, and then you upload multiple sources to that one

scene which are kind of like layers. They can be moved on top of one another,

deleted, and shown at different times based on your controls and commands. So

because we're going to be live-streaming to Facebook we of course want to add a

video input source.

You want to go ahead and select your device, obviously you want to make sure

you're using the most high-end device you have. Whether that is your computer's

webcam, or another webcam that you've purchased. Hello. And you just want to

make sure you're always double-checking your presets because Facebook preset is

1280 by 720 you don't want anything above or below that because it's going

to affect the quality of your video. Another thing I always encourage

everyone to do is select use buffering and that basically means that if

somebody has a poor connection or if you yourself have a poor connection at the

time of your livestream anybody tuning in will not miss a beat. So if you tend

to freeze and then resume the video five seconds later they'll be able to catch

everything that they missed in those five seconds as opposed to just chunks

of your live stream being missing. So do make sure you select to use buffering

before you get started with your video capture. So once your video captures all

set you may notice some black space down at the bottom and you can just go ahead

and expand the corners of your video capture image however you like it.

Whether you want more or less of one thing or another in the camera or in

view at one point. So I like the way that looks right there so I'm going to leave

that as is. So normally now what you would do is input your audio device. I'm

using my high-end mic to record this video tutorial for you so I won't be

able to use it for my Facebook live stream also. So I'm just going to allow

this Facebook live stream to use my webcam audio which you can see right

here, but if you wanted to change your audio input device it's as simple

as just selecting audio input capture and finding your device as we did with

the video capture device. Since I won't be adding another audio capture device

I'm going to start and upload my images like my overlay and the slide that I'm

going to be sharing during my live stream.

I want to select image and just find that file. I saved mine to my desktop,

there it is. And again you'll see that it uploads in

a different location than I would ideally like it to be on my facebook

live so I'm just going to grab it and drag it down to the bottom here. And that

looks great to me so I'm going to leave that as is and now I want to upload my

slide which I'll be sharing to educate my audience. So again I want to select

image, there we go. And again you will have to do some tweaking of this to make

sure it fits the screen properly. There, that looks great. So as I was saying

these are like layers and can be moved around to your liking, but when you're on

your Facebook livestream all you simply have to do is click this little eye and

whatever image in your slide share you're showing will disappear. So you could

essentially upload a sequence of those slide images one after the other in the

way that I just showed you and all you have to do is have OBS open during your

live stream which you already will have to have and you can just walk through

each image and click that eye as you go along to show an image and then take it

off screen and then show the next one and take that one off screen and so on

and so forth. So I've hidden that image for now and this image you're seeing

right here is what's going to appear when I go live on Facebook so let's get

started with that right now. Open Facebook, your business page, your profile

or a group in Google Chrome, and you want to go to your publishing tools and into

your video library. You're going to see a button either up here in the top right

or yours might be over in the left here and you want to select create a live

video. What you want to grab from this is the stream key so make sure you

select it entirely and copy it. Head back into OBS Studio and select settings.

So under stream you just want to make sure that the service is in fact

Facebook live and you paste your stream key in there. An important thing to note

about this is that the stream key that Facebook gives you is only good for

about an hour so if you plan to go live in the future don't do this until before

you plan to go live. Otherwise you may have to start the

process over grab a new stream key and input it into OBS studio so make sure

you're doing all of these steps immediately prior to going live on

Facebook to make your life a lot easier. So once you've pasted your stream key

you just want to make sure that you're checking the output. Facebook likes a

bitrate of 2500 so that looks great there. Double check the video all of our

resolutions and our output resolutions look great here just make sure that

you're seeing these numbers too and then you can go ahead and save your settings.

So now that we're ready to start streaming you want to select start

streaming and go back into Facebook and OBS is now going to be pre loading your

stream into your Facebook live now. What I suggest here is that you plug a pair

of headphones in to avoid any audio feedback as you may have heard I did

have a little bit of feedback there so you just want to make sure that you have

your headphones. You don't have to necessarily put it in your ear because I

can hear right here that these are in fact working and picking up my audio. So

again you just want to take a second title your live stream make sure it's

super compelling and completely indicative of what you're going to be

talking about. For the sake of this tutorial I'm just going to call it

testing Facebook live on OBS Studio and I can just copy that and put it as

my video title down here as well. You'll also want to input your tags that

are relevant to the topic of your video, but since this is an example I'm just

going to show you how to go live. So once you have all of your information

inputted all you have to worry about is clicking go live. Ok so as you can see we

are live here on Facebook and we can see people coming in and out. The only thing

that I do want to note is that you won't be able to see comments come in in real

time so what I recommend doing is just opening another page where you can see

your business page profile or group and just to make sure that you're there

monitoring the comments and engagement that you get on your live stream and you

can also do this from your mobile device if you have it accessible while you're

going live. So now let's get into how we can uplevel it using our overlays now

that you can see that I'm live here on Facebook and everything's going well

everyone can see and hear me just open your OBS Studio back up and

remember when you want a slide to appear all you have to do is uncheck that eye and

if you come back over here to Facebook, it is a bit of a time delay but

eventually it's going to pop up on the screen and you'll see it right there.

I've got my tips up there for using OBS Studio and Facebook live, the tips that I

explained to you earlier, and that is Facebook live using OBS in a nutshell. So

when you're done wrapping up what you're talking about all you have to do is

click end live video and you're done, and finally just make sure you head into OBS

and select stop streaming. There you have it, and now you have a way to step up

your game and stand out on Facebook live using OBS studio. And if live streaming

KRISHNAMURTI AND COMPUTERS - Duration: 8:04.

The Pathless Land

human consciousness is similar in all human beings

Our consciousness, whether we live in the East or West, is made up of many layers of fears, anxieties, pleasures, sorrows and every form of faith

Occasionally, perhaps, in that consciousness there is also love,

compassion, and from that compassion a totally different kind of intelligence.

And always there is the fear of ending, death

Human beings throughout the world from time immemorial

have tried to find out if there is something sacred, beyond all thought, something incorruptible and timeless

There are the various group consciousnesses

the businessmen with their consciousness

the scientists with theirs and the carpenter with his

these are of the content of consciousness and are the product of thought

Thought has created wonderful things; from the extraordinary technology of computers

to telecommunication, to robots, surgery and medicine

Thought has invented religions; all the religious organizations throughout the world are put together by thought

Thought has invented the computer

You must understand the complexity and the future of the computer;

; it is going to outstrip man in his thought

it is going to change the structure of society and the structure of government

This is not some fantastic conclusion of the speaker, or some fantasy

it is something that is actually going on now, of which you may not be aware

The computer has a mechanical intelligence; it can learn and invent

The computer is going to make human labour practically unnecessary

- perhaps two hours work a day

These are all changes that are coming

You may not like it, you may revolt against it, but it is coming.

Thought has invented the computer

but human thought is limited and the mechanical intelligence of the computer is going beyond that of man

It is going to totally revolutionize our lives

So what will a human being be then ?

These are facts, not some specialized conclusions of the speaker.

When we consider what the capacity of the computer is, then we have to ask ourselves : what is a human being to do ?

The computer is going to take over most of the activities of the brain.

And what happens to the brain then ?

When a human being's occupation is taken over by the computer, by the robot, what becomes of the human ?

We human beings have been `programmed' biologically, intellectually, emotionally, psychologically, through millions of years

and we repeat the pattern of the programme over and over again

We have stopped learning : and we must enquire if the human brain

which has been programmed for so many centuries, is capable of learning and immediately transforming itself into a totally different dimension

If we are not capable of that, the computer, which is much more capable, rapid and accurate

is going to take over the activities of the brain.

This is not something casual, this is a very, very serious, desperately serious matter.

The computer can invent a new religion.

It could be programmed by an expert Hindu scholar, by a Catholic, by a protestant or a Muslim,

and it would turn out a marvellous structure for a new religion !

And we, if we are not aware of what is happening, we will follow that new structure which has been turned out by the computer.

See the seriousness of all this, please.

Our consciousness has been programmed for thousands and thousands of years

to think of ourselves as individuals, as separate entities struggling, in conflict from the moment we are born until we die.

We are programmed to that. We have accepted that.

We have never challenged it ; we have never asked if it is possible to live a life absolutely without conflict.

Never having asked it we will never learn about it. We repeat.

It is an innate part of our existence to be in conflict

- nature is in conflict : that is our argument -

and we consider that progress is only through conflict.

Religious organizations throughout history have maintained the idea of individual salvation.

We are questioning very seriously whether there is an individual consciousness ;

whether you, as a human being, have a separate consciousness from the rest of mankind.

You have to answer this, not just play with it.

Having been brought up, programmed, conditioned, to be individuals, then our consciousness is all this activity of thought.

Fear and the pursuit of pleasure are the movement of thought.

The suffering, anxiety, uncertainty and the deep regrets, wounds, the burden of centuries of sorrow, are all part of thought.

Thought is responsible for what we call love, which has become sensual pleasure, something to be desired.

As we said, and we will repeat it over and over again until we are quite sure of it,

we are thinking together, the speaker is not telling you what to think.

He is not making propaganda - it is a horrible thing, propaganda.

He is not telling you how to act, what to believe,

but together, we are investigating the catastrophe that is taking place in the world outside of us,

the utter ruthlessness and violence, and also inwardly in each human being the extraordinary conflict that is going on.

Together we are examining. It is not - if one may point out -

that you are merely listening to some ideas or conclusions ;

we are not talking about ideas, conclusions or beliefs.

We are looking at this world that human beings have produced, for which all of us are responsible.

We must be clear in our understanding -

- at whatever level that understanding be,

whether it is intellectual understanding, which is merely verbal,

or the understanding of deep significance so that that understanding acts -

that we have come to a point where we have to make a decision,

not by the exercise of will, but the decision that will naturally come

when we begin to understand the whole nature and structure of the world,

both externally and internally.

That perception will bring about a decision, an action.
