Waching daily Oct 12 2017

Hey guys, it's your Star Wars Geek Julia here, and I just finished watching the trailer for

the new Star Wars movie, The Last Jedi and I am so excited, but who the heck is this

guy?

I don't know, I hope he's not squaking like that through the whole movie, if you know

what I mean?

Back to what this video is really about.

When Ben and I were planning our honeymoon, we had just seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens,

and we just had to visit that beautiful island where Rey meets Luke Skywalker.

But there are definitely things I wish I'd known before I left.

So, I've got some words of wisdom to share with you, young padawan.

Like we're all hoping they'll do with the movies, I'm saving the best for last.

This is my Star Wars Geek's Guide for Visiting Skellig Michael.

So first thing's first, you've got to book your landing tour well in advance, I'm talking

months.

And make sure that it actually says landing tour, otherwise, well.

It's a trap!

So this is a big one for me.

There are no bathrooms on the island.

There are public bathrooms near the docks at Portmagee, but that's going to be a good

five hours where you're not going to be able to go.

So with that in mind, be careful how much blue milk you drink in the morning.

Another reason to eat light in the morning is to prepare for the rough seas.

The water was so rough on the day of our trip that they almost cancelled it.

And four out of the twelve passengers tasted their breakfast twice.

So do yourself a favour and bring gravol.

The force is strong with the island, and by that I mean the force of the wind.

If you're wearing a baseball hat, it will probably fly off.

Any loose clothing could catch the wind and could throw you off balance when you're walking

up or down those steep steps.

If the sun comes out, it might get warm, but if it's cloudy, it could be as cold as Hoth.

It's a good idea to bring a backpack with extra layers and extra socks.

It's quite a climb getting up to the monastery, so make sure to bring yourself some water

and some food.

Keep in mind, anything that you bring onto the island you'll have to bring off of the

island.

If you're looking to get some of those iconic photos or videos without any people in the

background, you're going to need to be the leader of the pack.

We recommend that you get up to the monastery as soon as you can before it gets over crowded.

This is such an awe inspiring place that it's easy to lose track of time, make sure that

you give yourself enough time to make the trek all the way back down, keeping in mind,

you'll probably want to take a few photos along the way.

So this is the biggest piece of advice I could give, don't live behind the lens.

Although it was our love for the Star Wars movies that brought us to the island, as we

arrived and stared up at this beautiful, majestic beast of an island, the scenes from The Force

Awakens were far from our minds.

Don't get me wrong, I am so happy that we have so much footage from the trip, but I

wish I'd taken a little more time to appreciate what this place was.

Thank you guys so much for tuning in today.

What's the difference between the IMF and the World Bank? | CNBC Explains - Duration: 4:16.

If you're confused by the difference

between the International Monetary Fund, the IMF,

and the World Bank.

Well, you're not the only one.

Famed economist John Maynard Keynes,

who was a founding father of both institutions,

said that he was confused just by their names.

The IMF and World Bank are closely linked.

So close that their headquarters are across

the street from each other here in Washington.

So what's the difference between them?

It all started at this hotel

in New Hampshire in July 1944,

where 44 countries gathered

for the Bretton Woods Conference.

The goal of the conference was to agree on

a new framework for the international monetary system,

which is the rules and institutions

that keep the global economy running smoothly.

After World War II, most people agreed

that the old system had failed.

It had seen the Great Depression,

unfair trade policies and unstable currencies.

After three weeks of heated negotiations

at Bretton Woods, especially between Keynes

who was representing the United Kingdom

and Harry Dexter White,

the U.S. Treasury representative,

a deal was reached.

The agreement created the IMF and the

International Bank for Reconstruction and Development,

soon to be known as the World Bank.

Each institution was given a distinct role.

The IMF's job was to oversee a system of

fixed exchange rates, which tied the value

of a country's currency to the U.S. dollar,

which was pegged to gold.

The main purpose of this was to make sure

exchange rates stayed stable to encourage global trade.

The IMF was also tasked with

providing short-term loans

to countries struggling to pay their debts.

Meanwhile, the main goal of the World Bank

was to give financial assistance to countries,

mainly in Europe, that needed to rebuild after the war.

The roles of both the IMF and the World Bank

have changed a lot since the days of Bretton Woods.

President Nixon unpegged the U.S. dollar

from gold in 1971,

essentially dissolving the fixed

exchange rate system that the IMF oversaw.

Since then the IMF has taken on a bigger role

fighting financial crises around the world.

It keeps tabs on the global economy

and puts economic policies

in place in member countries.

The World Bank focuses its efforts on

development and reducing poverty.

It provides funding and resources in projects

in some of the poorest countries in the world.

Both institutions include 189 member countries

but the IMF has around 2,700 employees,

compared to the World Bank's staff of 10,000.

The IMF is funded mainly by quotas,

basically subscription fees, from member countries.

It receives about $675 billion in quotas,

with the U.S., Japan, China and Germany

contributing the most.

The World Bank is financed mostly

by issuing bonds to global investors.

The group's lending commitments reached nearly

$59 billion in fiscal year 2017.

The IMF has committed $160 billion

under its current lending arrangements.

Today the IMF's biggest borrowers include

Greece, Ukraine, Portugal and Pakistan.

The places where the World Bank is running

the most projects are in Africa and East Asia.

One thing the IMF and World Bank have in common

is that they both have some opponents.

Critics point to the conditions attached to their loans,

saying they don't always address

the specific economic issues within a country.

The IMF has come under fire for

continuing to bail out Greece

even as the country has

failed to clean up its finances.

Human rights groups have criticized the World Bank

for ignoring the environmental and social impacts

of some of its projects in countries

like Ethiopia or Myanmar.

But the IMF and World Bank say

they promote global economic stability,

they make countries less vulnerable to crises,

promote higher living standards and

provide vital help to countries that need it.

Stars You Didn't Know Killed People In Real Life - Duration: 5:28.

For actors, singers, and other stars of stage and screen, death often factors into their

performances, whether it's pretending to get murdered on a TV show or crooning a ballad

about a lost loved one.

But sometimes, the veil of fiction drops, the record skips, and famous performers are

put face-to-face with death in real life … and it's by their own hands.

Here are a few stars who reportedly killed people in real life.

Rebecca Gayheart

In June 2001, actress Rebecca Gayheart was driving her friend's car in Los Angeles when

she hit 9-year-old Jorge Cruz Jr. as he walked across the street.

Cruz died of his injuries a day later.

Eyewitnesses said that after several cars stopped to let Cruz cross, Gayheart allegedly

"swerved around the traffic and into a two-way left-turn lane, hitting the boy."

Gayheart pleaded no contest to misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter and was sentenced to

"three years' probation, a one-year suspension of her license, a $2,800 fine," and "750 hours

of community service."

Gayheart also settled a wrongful death civil suit filed for an undisclosed amount.

In May 2005, she told People that it took her years to cope with that tragic day.

She claims she, quote, "couldn't really function for a while" and eventually turned to therapy

to try to rebuild her life.

Lane Garrison

In 2006, actor Lane Garrison's career prospects were looking good.

He had a recurring role on Prison Break as "Tweener," as well as a small part in the

Mark Wahlberg action drama Shooter.

But on December 2, 2006, the 26-year-old star decided to party with some teens he met in

a grocery store parking lot, and everything went sideways.

Garrison was driving the teens back to the parking lot after attending a party when he

lost control of his Land Rover and hit a tree.

Seventeen-year-old passenger Vahagn Setian was rushed to the hospital but did not survive.

At the time of the crash, Garrison's blood alcohol level was point-two-zero and police

reported that he had, quote, "an undisclosed amount of cocaine in his system."

Garrison pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter without gross negligence and two other alcohol-related

charges.

He was sentenced to 40 months in prison.

"Not a day has gone by that I've not thought about that young man, and not thought about

all that I've been through, and that's why I'm so blessed to be sitting on this couch

and getting a second chance."

Keith Moon

The Who drummer Keith Moon reportedly ran his Bentley over his chauffeur, Neil Boland,

while trying to escape from a pack of skinheads in January 1970.

The angry horde was gathered outside a pub, rocking Moon's car and throwing coins at it.

Boland confronted them, and when things got ugly, Moon tried to drive away, accidentally

striking Boland and dragging him under the car.

He later died at the hospital.

Moon was charged with drunk driving, driving without a license, and driving without insurance.

A judge told Moon that Boland's death, however, was an accident, and he wouldn't face charges:

"Under the circumstances, you had no choice but to act the way you did and no moral culpability

is attached to you."

Gig Young

On the screen, Oscar-winning actor Gig Young was a consummate performer.

He was nominated for an Academy Award three times, and won for best supporting actor in

1970 for his role in They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

Offscreen, Young saw three marriages end in divorce and was an alcoholic, sometimes even

appearing to be drunk during interviews …

"There's so many actors in Hollywood usually one works only…

I've only worked with each one once."

In 1978, Young's troubles came to a head when, just three weeks after marrying German actress

Kim Schmidt, police say he shot and killed her, then turned the gun on himself.

Longtime agent and friend Martin Baum, to whom Young willed almost his entire estate,

later said, "He seemed like a man who had everything going for him…

How little we know."

Brandy

In December 2006, R&B singer Brandy rear-ended another motorist, causing a chain reaction

involving four cars.

A 38-year-old mother of two, Awatef Aboudihaj died as a result of "major injuries" sustained

during the crash.

After a year-long investigation, prosecutors determined there was insufficient evidence

to charge Brandy with vehicular manslaughter.

The singer settled with Aboudihaj's husband for an undisclosed amount, and paid $300,000

each to his two sons, who were in the vehicle with their mom at the time of the accident.

Speaking with Oprah Winfrey in 2014, Brandy said the tragedy renewed her faith in God

because she had "no one else to turn to."

"I don't think that's something I could ever get over or ever truly understand, but that

was one of the worst times in my life."

Michael Massee

Rising action star Brandon Lee died in March 1993 on the set of The Crow after being shot

with an ill-prepared prop gun while filming his character's death scene.

Michael Massee, who played the villain, Funboy, was the unlucky one who pulled the trigger.

A fragment of a "dummy bullet" accidentally left in the chamber came to rest near Lee's

spine and caused so much damage that the doctors were unable to save his life.

Massee, who died of cancer in 2016 at the age of 64, reportedly only spoke publicly

about the tragic accident one time, in a 2005 Extra interview.

He said Lee's death affected him so deeply that he immediately took an entire year off

to do nothing but stick close to family and friends.

"I don't think you ever get over something like that.

No, I've gone through it a lot and things keep changing…

You just keep on going.

Life is extraordinary and very resilient, you know?

And you take the good where you see it."
