How to Build Relationships - Duration: 7:15.
In this video, we're going to look at how to create positive relationships, especially
in professional settings. Let's unpack it.
CS Lewis the famous writer once said
that friendship is unnecessary. Like philosophy, like art, it has no survival
value. Rather, it is one of those things that gives value to survival. In this
video, we're going to talk about creating positive relationships, especially in
professional settings. There are a lot of benefits to creating more positive
relationships. First of all, when you're positive with other people it tends to
enhance the overall atmosphere for everybody.
Second benefit is it is contagious. Research shows than when you treat other
people this way, they tend to reciprocate and treat you in a friendly way back. So
it increases the benefits for everybody. And lastly one of the awesome benefits
for leaders is that when people like them and get along with them they're
willing to go farther for you to get the job done. It's called referent power. So
you increase your positive influence just by creating positive relationships
with other people. So the bottom line of this video is that you can create more
positive relationships through friendliness and likeability with the
people around you. And I'm going to give you three tips to help you move in that direction.
The first tip is the foundation for everything else that we
talked about in this video. And that is you want to take a genuine interest in
other people. I know that nowadays this is not the most popular way to handle
interactions and relationships because we're all so self focused and we're all
consumed with everything that we have to get done. But you'll probably notice that
the people who really touch you the most and who really reach out to you the most
take a genuine interest in your life. When we are only focused on ourselves, we
don't tend to connect well with other people. And so what you want to do is
first of all in your mind say I'm just going to take an interest in this person
right now. Make it all about them. For a little while ask them questions
about their work. Ask questions about their lives outside of work. Ask them
questions about where they're from. People love talking about where they
grew up and this is how you can do this. Begin to take an interest in other
people and watch what happens to your relationships.
Tip number two is be easy
to get along with. Now I know a lot of high maintenance people. They're fussy
and controlling about things and let's hope that's not you. But if it's you, make
sure you are easier to get along with than you used to be. It really helps in a
lot of ways. For example, if you have a tone of approachability so when people
come to you you're patient, you're kind, you're generous and attentive with your
time. That's easy to get along with, that approachability. You also don't want
to be high-maintenance. You want to be low maintenance. High maintenance people
get very fussy about things. they have a lot of particulars that they insist upon
and you don't want to be like that. When change comes your way, do your best to go
with the flow, to be flexible, to be easy to get along with. You don't want to be
high-maintenance. You want to be low-maintenance.
And the third tip is to
be generous with your encouragement. You know, words of encouragement that's one
of the five love languages .And when you're pointing out specific things
about what people are good at around you, what you appreciate about them, it really
can reach into their hearts and develop a bond between you both because it's one
of the most precious things to us is when people are encouraging. I don't know
about you but I have literally gone years in certain work situations where I
got almost no encouragement from the work people around me. There are many
toxic workplaces out there and if you're in one of these you can be a positive
force for change by beginning to encourage what you see in other people. I
use these three tips every day at work. As some of you may know, I am a college
teacher and when I am in the classroom even though I'm there to teach and they
have perform well to earn good grades, I know
that positive relationships in the classroom create a better atmosphere for
everybody and it helps the students work harder. So when I get there right from
the beginning, I take an interest in their lives. I'm approachable and easy to get
along with. I give them lots of encouragement and as a result we're not
just, we don't just benefit from having a wonderful atmosphere. We also benefit
because those students are much more willing to work harder in my class. My
classes are challenging but they will go the distance and they will rise to that
level of high expectation because they know I care about them. I've showed that
I care about them. When people know that you are for them, they are going to go
further for you. That is the bottom line and that is one of the best things about
establishing positive relationships in addition to the benefit of relationships
in general. Now if you're in a professional setting, you're a supervisor
of some sort, this does not mean you have to be friends outside of work and spend
a ton of social time with people outside of the boundaries of work. I don't hang
out with my students on the weekends, for example and I know many supervisors want
to keep a boundary between work and private life and that's completely
appropriate and I support that 100%. Other people are a little more flexible with
those boundaries, which can also work. But, when you're at work, when you're face to
face with people, the key is to build those positive relationships when you
can and you'll see that you don't really have to spend all that much time outside
of work to bond with them. So in summary, you can create more positive
relationships with people through friendliness and likeability by using
these three tips. Your homework is very simple. I want you to think of one
specific person. In fact, I want you to think of that person right now. I have
somebody in mind. And I want you to take one or more of these tips that we've
talked about in this video and apply it in that next conversation that you have
with that person. And then watch what happens to that relationship over time
as you continue to do this. I'd like to finish with a quotation from the great
Mother Teresa. She said kind words can be short and easy to speak but their echoes
are truly endless. Thanks I'll see you in the next video. I hope that you found that
lesson on creating positive relationships helpful. We're getting
toward the end of a five-part mini course in essential professional
communication skills. I'll put a link to all five lessons in the description
below this video as well as to the downloadable PDF quick guide that
summarizes all the tips for you in one place and links to all those videos so
you can get right to them if you would like to. So let's get into the next video
on collaborative problem-solving.

💼How to Succeed 💵Business English 👨💼 Vocabulary with JenniferESL - Duration: 16:05.
Hi everyone. It's Jennifer here with a special English lesson. I'd like to share some useful words and phrases
along with some thoughts that you can reflect on and hopefully apply to your English Studies.
In another video, you met my husband and you learned that he is an executive recruiter for a firm in Boston.
He's been in his current position for about seven years,
but he's been recruiting for more like ten years.
We spent the first five years of our marriage in Moscow, Russia and then moved together to the U.S.
I asked my husband to recall those early years in America and talk about how he
felt about his English when he first came to this country.
I've been in the U.S. since 2001.
That makes it 17 years.
Yes, I spoke English when I came. I studied English at a university, but it was my
second language. I majored in French.
It was hard.
I had to
practice quite a lot.
And I would always construct
conversations in my head
around different kinds of situations. One of them
was a job interview, a potential job interview.
I was looking for a job, and I would imagine those conversations in my head...
what kinds of questions I would be asked and
what kind of answers I would give.
So I would... probably before my first real job interview, had probably had 25-30 mock-up interviews in my head before.
One strategy that my husband used as a language learner was to talk aloud to himself or to talk in his head.
He did this to practice his English for a specific
situation, like a job interview.
He mentioned a mock-up interview, which is a situation that's made to seem real for training purposes.
"Mock-up interview" is clear, but I hear "mock interview" more often.
So if you're getting ready for a job interview, you can ask a friend to help you by doing a mock interview.
Your friend can ask questions as the potential employer, and you can practice giving your answers.
My husband is doing very well now, but success hardly ever comes fast and easily.
I'll let him talk about working his way up to his current position.
No, we arrived in Boston right after September 11. The economy was in recession.
It was hard to find a job.
So my first job in the U.S.
was a
grocery clerk at a local grocery store, a
minimum-wage job that would pay me seven dollars fifteen cents an hour and
was extremely boring, but you've got to do what you got to do you got to put the food on the table.
And you just, as they say here, you check your ego at the door and you take any job that will allow you to provide.
Before I landed a full-time job, I had two
temp jobs.
One one of them was a typesetter
at a local printing company and the other one was an interpreter at a local hospital.
My first full-time job was with the local
custodial bank and
I was
processing dividends in interest payments. It's called corporate actions, and I used to work the night shift from
4:00 a.m. til 12:00 noon.
I did this for two and a half years.
The difference between a full-time job and a temp job is that a full-time job gives you
so-called benefits, which basically comes down to health insurance and
401k contribution.
My first full-time job was what we call an entry-level job.
This is a kind of a job that anyone would get fresh out of college.
You cannot support your family on the salary that
they would pay you.
It was less than $40,000 a year.
To put things in perspective, at that time we rented a one-bedroom apartment
in Boston and
the price was $1,700 a month
with parking.
"To put things into perspective" is to understand a situation more fully. You no longer have a limited view.
My husband explained how we came to the U.S. at a really bad time to start a job search.
Initially, he could only find a minimum wage job at a grocery store.
That means that his employer paid him the lowest wages possible in the state of Massachusetts.
The sad thing was that I was earning even less at one of my jobs.
I could only find a part-time job as a teacher. So to make ends meet,
I also babysat for
$6 an hour.
"To make ends meet" means to earn just enough to survive.
My husband used another good expression with a similar meaning: to put food on the table.
It basically means that you earn enough to feed yourself and meet your basic needs.
You might not be able to find your dream job right away,
so most of us take what work we can get when we simply need to make ends meet and put food on the table.
My husband also had two jobs for a while. He worked the night shift.
Do you remember the hours he worked?
It was 4:00 a.m. till 12:00 noon.
Would you be willing to work the night shift?
I would hate it. I prefer the day shift. I need to work in the daytime.
I prefer regular business hours or what some call normal business hours.
That's usually 9:00 to 5:00.
There are different types of jobs one can get. A temp job is a temporary position.
A full-time position has a salary and it comes with benefits like health insurance and a retirement savings plan.
My husband explained the low salary of an entry-level job. It can be less than
$40,000 a year.
If you have a family or you're planning on having a family, it can be very difficult to put food on the table earning that much,
especially in an expensive city like Boston.
I'll let him explain how he eventually moved out of that entry-level position and began to earn more.
I did recruiting in Russia and I liked it. I did it for two to two and a half years.
So after working for for a couple years at a local bank,
I came to the conclusion that that was not a
long-term career for me. I did not like it at all.
I wanted something that
would give me a
better opportunity to make more money, and I went into a hundred percent commission business.
You basically eat what you kill.
No salary.
Pure Commission. If you close a deal, your company gets paid. You get a percentage of that.
It was very scary when my husband moved to a job that was 100 percent commission based.
There was no guarantee of a salary.
When you work on commission, you have to make a sale in order to get paid.
At the time, our first child was born, so there was a lot of pressure on my husband to succeed.
Thankfully, he became good at the job. He closed deals and his compensation did more than put food on the table.
I asked him to talk about the challenges of being in a new line of work.
The initial challenge was that
it was a completely different line of work from what I was accustomed to at a bank. It required a lot of cold calling.
Picking up a phone and calling total strangers and
it was difficult
psychologically because you would deal with great deal of rejection.
But also my English had to be
taken to the next level.
I was...uh
I needed to convince people
to look into the opportunities that I was presenting them with.
I needed to position myself as an expert on a matter. I needed to position myself
as an authority and
it it would it would require a lot of convincing.
Initially, I would write scripts and I would read off of those scripts, but eventually as time went on.
It became second nature.
Note these expressions. Cold calling is making phone calls to strangers in order to make a sales pitch.
So you're trying to sell a product or a service.
If you take something to the next level, then you raise the standard. You try to improve it.
My husband had to take his English to the next level.
If you position yourself as something such as an expert or an authority, then you present yourself a certain way.
You know, it's not just the language that a foreigner has to get used to. It's also the work culture.
My husband began his professional career in Moscow, Russia, which had a different work environment.
The biggest difference between a Russian and American company is the number of performance reviews done by
American companies.
The two biggest things that
are really appreciated when you work for an American company are perseverance and
in a positive attitude,
especially in sales.
There are down days. There are up days. As they say, the highs are high; the lows are low.
And sometimes those deals just do not go through and
it hurts. It hurts to the point that you literally want to cry. You're want to go to
back to your home.
But what you do is maybe you take a walk on the street, come back and get back ,get back into cold calling...
And...
as they say, it's a numbers game. The more phone calls you place, the better chance that you will land a deal.
In almost any line of work, there are ups and downs. We can also talk about highs and lows. We've all gone through them.
Hopefully, my husband's story will remind you that it's okay to feel bad on those down days.
But as he said, the key is perseverance.
Don't give up and keep trying. Hold on to a positive attitude.
Tip number one: embrace the culture.
In everyday life, there are a lot of
cultural references
that would not make sense to you unless you know the origins of
certain expressions.
Tip number two is try to spend as much time as you can with native speakers.
Yeah, tip number three is
never stop learning. I've been here for 17 years. I don't know the word --
I look it up in a dictionary. I find myself in a situation
in which I don't know what to say...sometimes it happens.
Later on
I would replay that very same situation in my head and I would think, "Okay. What would I say and
I would..
I would come up with the words
that would articulate my thoughts. So next time I'm in a very similar situation, I would know what to say.
I watch a lot of
YouTube videos.
I read a lot of news and I try to apply all those learnings in my everyday
interaction with my colleagues, with my clients, with my candidates.
Never stop learning.
So you've heard my husband speak at length. He doesn't rush and he doesn't fear mistakes in English.
I hope that's a useful model for you.
Don't feel pressured to speak as fast as possible in English. That will probably lead to more mistakes and less accurate pronunciation.
The goal is to speak clearly and be understood.
I'm going to end here.
Hopefully. now you have some new words and expressions to put into use. If you'd like to choose one or two of those words or
expressions and create your own examples, share them in the comments. I'll offer corrections as time allows.

How Planet Earth Tells a Story, Part 2 - Duration: 7:36.
"We will journey to every corner of the globe."
In our last Planet Earth video,
we looked at three of the key tools the show uses to tell its stories:
empathy, universally relatable characters, and electrifying conflict.
So now we're going to talk about three more things
the David Attenborough-narrated series teaches us about crafting a narrative.
If you're new here be sure to subscribe
and hit the bell to get notified about all of our new videos.
Another secret to its storytelling success is
the way Planet Earth draws on familiar story genres
to provoke its intended emotional response.
Dire straits call for straight drama.
"Again and again, the male sandgrouse risk their lives
in order to collect water for their chicks."
Other times, the story feels like a sweeping epic,
"They're setting off on the greatest overland trek
made by any animal."
a romantic comedy,
"But he'll have to do more than flutter his eyelids
if he wants to impress her."
or a coming-of-age story.
"And the calves must strengthen quickly.
They're testing the legs that will carry them thousands of miles."
Planet Earth understands that distinct genres affect the audience
in particular, reliable ways --
as soon as we perceive the recognizable hallmarks of a genre,
we start to follow the cues for what we're supposed to feel.
The thriller genre will immediately get our adrenaline up
and make us experience the visceral fear
of a life-threatening environment.
The trappings of the rom com will build our affection for a quirky character
and encourage us to fondly root for their personal happiness.
The epic pushes us to think of the fate of a species or large group.
Drama or tragedy move us to meditate on deeper questions of existence.
In Planet Earth, the line between comedy and drama is
usually drawn by whether immediate survival is at stake.
"Here only the narrowest line separates life from death."
Where immediate survival is not in question -- like in life --
there is room for levity and personal concerns.
"This forest is so rich, that nourishing food can be gathered quickly.
That leaves the male six-plumed bird of paradise with time to concentrate on other matters,
like tidying up his display area."
Planet Earth never stays with one "protagonist" for long.
Attenborough's narration switches perspectives frequently.
"Males must fight for the right to breed,
but on these sheer cliffs, any slip by either animal could be fatal."
"A snow leopard -- the rarest of Himalayan animals."
We've just been empathizing with the mountain goats;
how are we supposed to suddenly take on the POV of the snow leopard hunting them?
As we invest in each mini-story,
the shift to a new perspective has to instantly convince us to change our loyalties
--
Planet Earth often solves this problem by giving us a bigger reason
to root for the leopard -- the goats are trying to save themselves,
but the leopard is trying to save her cub.
"It was an act of desperation to try and catch such a large animal."
Great stories get us to feel for both characters on opposite sides of a fight,
so that we're tortured by any outcome,
feeling the loss as deeply as the victory.
Even when dealing with animals that are entirely foreign to us,
Planet Earth finds a way to show that there is "truth" on every side.
This fungi attacks the brains of insects,
zombifying them and then bursting out of their heads, Alien-style.
But this horror-story villain supports jungle diversity.
"But these attacks do have a positive effect on the jungle's diversity,
since parasites like these stop any one group of animal
getting the upper hand."
Thus Planet Earth keeps motivating us to invest in each new character it introduces
by maintaining its focus, empathy --
meanwhile, it whisks us along to see the bigger picture
and the interrelation of all these creatures.
This is important,
because one of the deepest messages and morals of the series is
the way that all of nature exists together,
interconnected in a complex balance.
The never-ending subplots and supporting characters
turn this into an expansive, rich story world
tied together by its omniscient narrator.
"At any one time,
a staggering variety of species and countless individuals
are striving for space and food."
Finally, the last element of Planet Earth's appeal we'll discuss
is the one that lies on the surface -- the fact that it's a documentary.
Screenwriters go out of their way to place heroes in extreme situations
as thrilling as the ones the animals face in every Planet Earth vignette --
escaping predators,
navigating the coldest and hottest parts of the planet,
traveling thousands of miles through air, land or water.
And these weird, wonderful characters prove time and time again
that truth is stranger than fiction,
or should we say, evolution is stranger than fiction?
Our planet supports gloriously bizarre life forms
thanks to the necessity to adapt and survive.
Deep in the ocean's twilight zone -- the last layer of water
that still has light --
there are creatures far odder than anything from the fictional "Twilight
Zone,"
"This is barreleye, a fish with a transparent head filled with jelly
so that it can look up through its skull."
As Hitchcock put it, "In feature films, the director is God;
in documentary films, God is the director."
The storytelling talent here is having the insight and patience
to find and bring out those amazing true stories.
Planet Earth is a masterclass in the art
of finding the inherently dramatic and fascinating in the real.
It shows us that what's happening, normally unseen to us,
around the world is mysterious and awe-inspiring --
giving us even more reason to appreciate and respect our home planet.
"Our planet is still full of wonders."
Like every good story, Planet Earth speaks to us
on many levels all at once.
It reminds us of our most basic selves and the principles of life
that make up the miracle of our existence.
It highlights the primal things that still drive our world --
the competition for light, water, territory and reproduction --
even if we don't too often think in those terms.
On another level, the show uses animals and landscapes
to conduct thoughtful philosophical and existential conversations.
And on the highest level, Planet Earth uses biology as metaphor
to mirror our lives --
it reminds us that the governing principles of nature are reflected,
in every aspect of our everyday, much more than we know.
"Create the space and the animals will come."

What If The Whole Internet Did A Factory Reset? | Dolan Life Mysteries - Duration: 11:47.
- From what causes volcanic lightning to how strong a human can be, we answer several of
your most hungering questions about life.
- Hey, how's it going folks?
I'm Pringle the One and I'm here to deliver the truth right into your beautiful brains.
- Behold mortals!
I am Nixxiom!
And today I have been tasked by Melissa to read out the answers to your queries!
… Uh - one second.
- * - Ok!
I'm good to go!
- * - I have the utmost faith in you, big guy.
- * - Pssst - Hey - You sure about this, Melissa?
- Listen, we just needed to get him off the streets, he keeps challenging people to trial
by combat!
- *
10 – What
would happen if the whole internet did a factory reset?
- Oh man, I've made so many good friends on the internet, I'd hate it if they were
all deleted!
- That would never happen, the eternal portal wizards would never allow it.
They maintain the internet and ensure that every message sent by a mortal is delivered.
- Oh - wow!
Nixxiom… do you think *I* could ever become an eternal portal wizard?
- Ha!
It takes centuries of training!
And besides - You don't look like a wizard to me.
- * - Knock that off!
If the internet was completely wiped and restarted, it would probably take some time for users
and companies to recover.
Businesses would suffer, deliveries and packages would be lost, communication across the globe
would be hindered and it's very likely the stock market would be in chaos.
9 – BlackDragonJake What causes volcanic lightning?
- Volcanic lightning is what you get when you throw a coin into a volcano and then it
erupts.
I once knew a guy that did just that and now - well - there's not much left of him.
- Don't be foolish!
Volcanic lightning is a byproduct of the great struggle between the gods of the sky and earth
as they battle for- - *
- STAY ON SCRIPT!
- Ok - fine!
I'll read your propaganda...
Particles in our atmosphere have either a positive or a negative charge.
When these particles separate, electricity flows between them.
The exact cause of volcanic lightning is still in debate, but it is believed that the charged
particles responsible for it come from the material that the erupting volcano ejects
into the atmosphere, like ash clouds.
8 – PlanetDolanFan What do clouds feel like?
- Have you ever touched fairy floss?
Clouds feel pretty much the same, only wetter.
- Fairy… what?
I don't eat anything made by a fairy, they're nefarious tricksters!
- No no, Nixxiom.
I mean the fluffy pink stuff.
Cotton candy.
- Candy is not made from cotton!
Clouds are made up of tiny droplets of water or ice crystals that cling to dust particles
in the atmosphere.
But what do they feel like?
The disappointing answer is: not much.
If you have ever walked through some fog then you know what a cloud feels like.
They are nice to look at though.
Look!
That one looks like a smiling face!
- * - Lovely.
7 – planet_worth_nothing What are EXE and MP3 files and what do they do?
- EXE stands for a file that's REALLY excited to be clicked on!
I like to search around the internet and download every EXE I can find.
Here, I'll boot one up for you!
- *
An EXE is an executable file, which means once it's opened it causes the operating
system of your computer to run a program.
Which is why you should be careful when you receive one attached to an email, RIGHT PRINGLE?!
- * - How do I run a virus scan on this?
An MP3 is an audio file format that is often used to compress music tracks.
It does this by stripping away the additional sounds in a song that our ears cannot hear,
which reduces the size of the file.
6 – I_Love_Winners Why don't we ever see freckles form?
Do they just appear out of nowhere or gradually?
- If you notice that you have a new freckle, it means you have been visited by the spirit
of lady luck.
Good fortune and riches will soon come to you!
- If you have freckles it means you're sick!
Seek a plague doctor immediately!
- Oh that's not true, look!
- * - *
- GET AWAY FROM ME, WRETCH!
- Ahhhh I'm fine, no need to panic dude.
- * - Not a step closer you abomination!
Freckles contain a pigment called melanin, which itself is created by skin cells
called melanocytes.
Freckles form when your skin is exposed to sunlight, the ultraviolet radiation of the
Sun's rays cause the melanocytes to produce more melanin, which in turn causes more freckles
to form.
5 – planet_worth_nothing What is the largest known moon?
- Hold on, I'll check.
- * - Oh whoops!
- * - Stop rearranging the cosmos!
PUT THAT DOWN!
The largest moon that we know of orbits the planet Jupiter in our solar system and is
named Ganymede.
It has a diameter of 5,262 kilometers and is larger than the planet Mercury, in fact
it would be considered a planet too if it orbited the Sun.
4 – Chantalle Bellemare Why do we see a lot of pigeons in cities?
- * - Well Pigeons need to work too, they have
a tough job picking up all those seeds that people leave lying around.
Who else is going to do it?
I really respect all the pigeons working their 9 till 5 seed pecking jobs.
They're doing fine work.
Fine work.
The pigeons that you see in cities are largely descended from the Rock Dove, which still
nest near rocky cliffs and coastlines.
Over time they cross bred with birds more inclined to live near humans but kept their
preference for tall rocky structures.
This made cities very appealing to pigeons, along with the abundance of people willing
to feed them.

a statue!
3 – Falguni Joshi Raval What was the first chocolate company?
- Chocolate?
Did somebody mention chocolate?
Man I love the stuff.
One of my favourite holidays is Easter…
But I don't really like when it's over, I always seem to get a stomach ache.
- * - Urrruuuuuuuurghhhh…
- Urrgghhh, my stomach….
- * - Disgusting.
Chocolate was originally consumed as a bitter drink by ancient Mesoamericans.
Once the Spanish arrived and began transporting chocolate to Europe it was sweetened with
cane sugar and cinnamon.
The French company Chocolaterie Lombart, created in 1760, claim to be the first chocolate company
in France.
However, it was the British company J.S.
Fry & Sons that created the first solid chocolate bar in 1847.
2 – Buchi2005 When were the first houses built?
- * - When I was young and a lot smaller, my first
house was great!
It was shiny and it had some fizzy liquid in it that tasted great!
Whoever built that place should be on TV.
I wonder what happened to it?
- * - A-ha!
Take that, metal can!
One of the World's first towns was Catal Huyuk, built in what is now the country of
Turkey in roughly 6,500 BC.
The houses of Catal Huyuk were densely built, usually touching each other and were made
from mud bricks.
They also lacked doors or windows so people had to enter them through hatches in the roofs.
1 – PUDYTAT- Is there a limit to how strong a human can be?
- You must always strive to be stronger and challenge others!
PRINGLE!
I challenge you, my friend, to a test of strength!
An armwrestling match, right here, right now.
- Err - You sure about that?
I don't want to hurt you.
- Ha!
I fear no pain!
Perhaps you are afraid of my RAW POWER?
- * - Mmmm - ooooooh yeaaah.
- Ooooooookay, if you insist.
- * - Ok!
3-2-1 go!
- * - *Need several sounds of Nixxiom struggling
to move Pringle's arm* - *
- Erm - I can see you two are busy so I'll read out the last answer for you.
It is possible that the human race is already near its maximum potential for strength.
Over time, weightlifting records have slowly crept up but are now beginning to plateau.
This could be in part due to the body's natural mechanism that stop us from hurting
ourselves, something that weightlifters have to overcome.
Recently however, Icelandic strongman Hafthor Bjornsson broke the Elephant Bar deadlift
world record, successfully lifting 472kg or 1,041 pounds.
- * - You can - grrrr- give up any time - grrr
- you want!
Grrrrrrrr!
- * - Oh man!
Are you ok Nixxiom?
- * - A good match, my friend.
But know that I went easy on you.
- Do you need some help getting out of that hole?
- … Yes.

Woman Claims Man Wanted a Family, Man Denies It (Full Episode) | Paternity Court - Duration: 16:28.
Please be seated.
Hello, Your Honor.
Hello.
This is the case of McDaniel v. Lennon.
Thank you, Jerome. Good day, everyone.
AUDIENCE: Good day.
Ms. McDaniel...
You say you were tricked into having a baby by the defendant, Mr. Lennon.
But once you got pregnant, he ditched you
and immediately denied he fathered your baby.
Is that correct?
McDANIEL: Yes, Your Honor.
Mr. Lennon, you say,
"The plaintiff is nothing but a promiscuous gold digger,"
and there is no way
you're her son's biological father.
You suggest she contact
the multiple men she slept with during the window of conception
and return to court with the real daddy.
So Ms. McDaniel, how did the defendant trick you into having a baby?
I wanna, first off, start by saying
he shouldn't deny my baby when my baby looks just like him.
So, he was the one to plan to have me pregnant, Your Honor.
He wanted a baby?
McDANIEL: Yes.
JUDGE LAKE: Tell me.
McDANIEL: He told me that
he wanted to have a child which was biologically his
'cause he has two that's not his.
And he's their daddy 'cause he signed the birth certificate.
No, Your Honor, that's not true.
Well, the simple fact is...
When I met her, I met her off of a site.
And for me meeting her from the site,
I wanted to see what kind of person she is
and see if she wanted to have a life.
He also wanted to have sex with me, Your Honor.
He asked me for my number on the site
that he met me off of.
That, he is correct about that,
but he wanted to have a baby also.
Your Honor, I had a two-year-old child that had passed in my life
and that kinda hurt.
So, for me trying to pick up with my life,
I wanted to meet somebody that was kinda good.
So when I got up with her,
it was like, the simple point was like...
You know, I wanted to see what kind of lifestyle she was.
But did you not ask me for sex?
But also too, when we had sex,
we had sex when we was coming down the road.
And then...
Sex was the first night I met Mr. Lennon.
So wait, you all met online?
We met online, Your Honor.
LENNON: Yes, your honor. We did meet online.
We did in March.
Were you looking for love online, Mr. Lennon?
(STUTTERING) There's a lot of sites out there.
And there's a lot of good ones out there.
And, yes, there's a lot of bad ones out there.
But, also too, when you meet a person,
they tell on their own self what they're about.
When we had sex on the road,
when I pulled over, we had sex on the road.
Then when we got to my house...
Oh, wait a minute. I thought you meant like, down the road.
Like, a while passed...
No, no, Your Honor.
(ALL LAUGHING)
You meant literally on the road.
Oh, no, no. Not like that.
When we pulled over we had sex on the road.
(AUDIENCE EXCLAIMS)
Off of the road. But then when we got to my house,
we had sex.
So my thing is,
sex was all that was on his mind when he hit me up.
Hold on, hold on. Let me understand this.
So you were online.
LENNON: Yes, Your Honor.
Looking for love or looking for lust?
Well, looking for love, really.
So tell me the first time you all met, what... What happened?
Well, when we met online and stuff, we decided,
you know, decided to get up.
He hit me on my DM, asking for my number.
I gave him my number. He started texting me.
So when he texted me and asked, "Can we meet up,"
I said yes.
I ain't even gonna lie.
Yes, we did have sex the first time.
But it was in the strength of...
Could you also...
...him wanting to be my boyfriend.
My "sugar daddy".
LENNON: No, Your Honor. That's not true at all.
Your sugar daddy?
My sugar daddy.
Oh, no...
(ALL GASPING)
Your Honor...
JUDGE LAKE: Hold on. Wait, wait, wait...
What's the age difference here?
I'm 42.
What's the age difference here? 42?
Yes, Your Honor.
And you?
Twenty-seven.
Okay, so 15 years.
So, a sugar daddy.
JUDGE LAKE: Were you looking for a sugar daddy?
Me? I was looking for somebody to really be
my boyfriend/father figure in my life.
So quote, yes, that's how he became attractive to me.
It's because I never had a father figure in my life, Your Honor.
So, correct. Yes.
And so what attracted you to Mr. Lennon?
That I thought he was a grown-up man
who can step up to the plate.
Any plate.
And so, Mr. Lennon, what attracted you to Ms. McDaniel?
At first...
My big booty
and my cute smile.
(ALL LAUGHING)
You might as well say.
All right.
I thought she was a person that had a heart.
Now I wanna see what was going on online.
You saw her profile?
Online. Yes, Your Honor.
And you said this is the one for me.
Now I've dug up this profile.
No, I didn't say that was the one for me, I was just...
Look at the photos we found online.
This is what lead you to Ms. McDaniel.
So you saw this photo of her
and you said, "Oh, I found a pretty girl."
There she's got a pretty little sundress on here.
And then...
Oh!
Lingerie shot.
These are the photos online.
And then you've got the description in the profile.
Sunshine.
(JUDGE LAKE READING)
"...to spend time and companionship with.
"I'm looking for serious encounters only
"who don't mind some action."
(JUDGE LAKE READING)
"So treat yourself to this big chocolate bunny.
"A chance..."
(READING CONTINUES)
Fulfill?
(ALL CHUCKLING)
So...
JUDGE LAKE: "...fulfill
"all your wishes."
(READING)
Oh, that's what you're all doing online?
No, Your Honor. I did not know nothing about that profile right there.
I did not know nothing about that one.
Mr. Lennon knew
that it was a companionship like that.
So he knew it when he hit me up in my DM
that it was gonna be like this.
So I don't know what he had in mind
that he don't know about it.
But I did not go to that profile.
I did not go to that profile.
JUDGE LAKE: So in your mind, Mr. Lennon,
was this a relationship for you?
I said to myself "Well, at least let me see how she is."
But, Your Honor, her attitude...
Her attitude was the one that changed.
That's what he said to me too. He poured his heart out...
She has a really bad nasty attitude.
JUDGE LAKE: At one time...
He poured his heart out to me at the time
that we had sex multiple times that he was falling for me.
JUDGE LAKE: Okay. Were you falling for him?
I could say at... At the first time, yes.
I was falling for Maurice.
But to the point when I started asking Maurice for help,
he didn't wanna help me.
What did you need help with?
Money.
I was asking Mr. Lennon for some money to get some food
because I didn't want to go to the government for food stamps.
Did you have a job?
No, I didn't.
So you basically wanted a man to take care of you.
I basically wanted a father figure,
so, yes, Your Honor.
LENNON: You gotta get rid of that attitude first.
McDANIEL: While you're sitting here denying my child when...
I'm not denying...
McDANIEL: Yes, you are denying him.
I told her about my past and what happened.
And how I was hurt two times off of a blood test.
I told my sister about that.
And I'm not going through that mess again.
So you've had paternity issues in the past?
LENNON: Yes, Your Honor, I do.
Paternity situations.
And you say on two different occasions
the child turned out not to be yours?
That happened twice.
After he signed the birth certificate.
That's his stupid...
JUDGE LAKE: But you signed the birth...
LENNON: No, Your Honor, I did not sign no birth certificate.
So why did you tell me that?
LENNON: I did not.
I did not tell you that!
Yes, you did, Maurice.
I did not tell you that I signed a birth certificate.
You said that you got two kids that are not yours
that you signed a birth certificate.
Your Honor...
Your mother don't want the same thing to happen with this child.
My mother did not want me to get hurt like I did twice before.
I told my sister all about it, Your Honor.
I tell my sister everything.
Is this your sister here?
McDANIEL: Yes, Your Honor.
I want to hear from you, ma'am. Please stand up to the podium.
State your name for the court.
Latisha McDaniel.
Thank you for joining us, Ms. McDaniel.
So, uh, Ms. McDaniel says that...
She tells you everything.
Yes, she does.
So what do you know about this relationship with Mr. Lennon?
Do you believe that Mr. Lennon is
her child's biological father?
Yes, I do.
JUDGE LAKE: Why?
Um...
He came and picked her up.
And she stayed for about, like, two weeks.
And so that automatically makes him the father?
Yeah, uh, I even had a conversation with Mr. Lennon.
JUDGE LAKE: And what did he say?
About how he was gonna take care of her.
LENNON: No, Your Honor.
I did not say that.
He's gonna take care of the baby.
He was going to put her...
I did not say that to that woman.
No, I did not say that.
...and the baby in a three-bedroom house.
The only time I talked to your sister
is when she was in the hospital.
And that's when I was introduced to her.
Y'all called me from the hospital.
And then you handed her the phone.
You did tell me that you're gonna take care of both of them.
No. I did not tell you that.
Okay.
I did not tell you that.
Yes, you did, Maurice.
I wanna understand what she believes you said.
You are testifying that Mr. Lennon
told you he was gonna put your sister in a three-bedroom house?
Yeah, with the baby.
JUDGE LAKE: With the baby.
Yes, ma'am.
Oh!
JUDGE LAKE: And where were you when you had this conversation?
LATISHA: I was on the phone with him.
Mr. Lennon, you say you didn't say that?
No, Your Honor, I did not say that.
Not one single bit to that woman.
That's a lie.
'Cause you told me
that when we was having sex with a condom,
and then you asked me...
That's what I don't understand.
Where in the world a condom come in
because we did not have to think about no condom
when I pulled beside the road.
We didn't have no condom!
McDANIEL: Well, let me...
And then after that when we got to the house,
there was no condom talking about...
Yes, there was.
If you admit you didn't use a condom,
then why are you saying you're not the father?
"I'm a woman and I'm sleeping around with people
"and I come to a man that's got a nice big house and stuff.
"Oh, I'm gonna have him to take care of me."
That's her frame.
McDANIEL: So you did not tell me...
Ms. McDaniel, were there other men during that time?
No, Your Honor.
Good God Almighty.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
From the time I...
From the time I conceived my baby,
no, Your Honor.
So you submitted a calendar to the court, Ms. McDaniel.
I did, Your Honor.
JUDGE LAKE: And what does this calendar outline?
This calendar outlines the time that I spent with Mr. Lennon.
JUDGE LAKE: Okay. You spent a week with Mr. Lennon in June.
McDANIEL: Yes.
JUDGE LAKE: In July,
the doctor said you were four weeks
and five days pregnant.
McDANIEL: And five days pregnant.
That was during the window of the time
you say you were sleeping with Mr. Lennon?
I was with Mr. Lennon the whole time.
You were at his house?
At his house.
We did not have sex every day.
Constantly being intimate with each other.
Not every day. No we did not have sex every day.
Every day...
LATISHA: It only takes one time.
LENNON: We did not have sex every single day.
I took her home, and then next thing you know
probably another week or two weeks drag along,
then I go get her again and then...
Other than that, that was it.
My cousin, she can tell you all what happened.
Well, I'd like to hear from her.
Please stand, ma'am.
State your name for the court.
Good afternoon. My name is Cynthia Powell.
JUDGE LAKE: Thank you for joining us, Ms. Powell.
You are Mr. Lennon's cousin?
Yes, ma'am.
What do you know about this situation?
He goes to work every day about 4:00 in the morning
until maybe about 6:00 in the afternoon.
I live across the street, I smoke cigarettes,
and I watched her.
She's telling a lie. Just lies.
I'm not lying, baby.
That's a lie.
CYNTHIA: Ms. McDaniel
jumped in and out of vehicles
all while she was at our home.
McDANIEL: That's a lie, Your Honor.
Then she called and told the boy that she was pregnant.
So my thing is this,
if he's the baby's father,
the baby will get taken care of.
But if it's not,
then let Ms. McDaniel go on about her business.
JUDGE LAKE: So it is your testimony that Ms. McDaniel...
CYNTHIA: Yes, ma'am.
...was with multiple men during the stay
with Mr. Lennon.
Yes, ma'am.
Yes, ma'am.
McDANIEL: That's a lie, Your Honor.
In pick-up trucks and all.
All right, thank you so much for your testimony.
Thank you.
CYNTHIA: Thank you.
She's lying. The time that Maurice was gone to work,
I would stay...
CYNTHIA: Baby, you were there a week
and how did you end up pregnant?
Baby, get it right.
The time that I was staying with Mr. Lennon,
yeah, he would leave by 4:00 or 5:00 in the morning.
Return back from work at 6:00,
but I never left the house, Your Honor.
I stayed in his house.
You did leave the house one time...
Baby, you're lying. You left the home.
I stayed in the house.
No, you walked down the road.
You left the home.
The only time I left,
was to go across the street to ask her for a cigarette.
CYNTHIA: (CHUCKLING) Oh?
So you say you stayed in the house all day long
waiting for him to get back?
When I was out of cigarettes, I went asked for a cigarette.
So, yeah, she's sitting here lying,
Your Honor.
My thing is, how can you bring somebody to the testimony when
nobody was in the bedroom when we was having sex?
That's what I'm trying to pin-point, Your Honor.
Well, your sister wasn't in the bed either
and you brought her to testify for you.
It's 'cause I tells my sister everything.
And she was there...
She was there the day that I drove off in Maurice's car
when he came to pick me up till the time of conceiving.
And she was there across the street when you were at his home.
That's what testimony is about.
We bring witnesses so they can testify to what they know.
So, now, when you went to the hospital,
to give birth to Kei'mauri,
did you tell Mr. Lennon? Was he there?
He have an excuse that "I don't have no gas to come up there."
But wait a minute, I thought you...
I thought you had a sugar daddy. I don't understand how...
He is my sugar daddy.
Uh-uh.
JUDGE LAKE: What I'm saying is how come he don't have no gas money?
This is what I'm trying to pin-point.
Is if he had a bank account, why didn't he have no gas money to...
So you thought he's just making up excuses not to come to the hospital?
Yes, he's been making up excuses all the time.
I told him I was pregnant.
Did he ever show up?
LENNON: No, I did not.
No.
You never showed up, Mr. Lennon?
No, Your Honor.
Because the reason why that,
I did that one time before.
The woman had the baby,
next thing I'm knowing in time, I'm not the baby's dad.
So I told myself I'm not gonna put myself to that kind of stress.
How do you know you're not my baby dad?
So have you met Kei'mauri yet?
LENNON: No, Your Honor. I have not.
McDANIEL: Never.
JUDGE LAKE: Have you seen a picture of the baby?
I've seen plenty of pictures.
He has inboxed me in a DM and asked for pictures.
Then he's all over my Instagram
liking all my posts that I post with my baby.
Why are you all up on my Instagram
if you've denied my child?
JUDGE LAKE: All right.
I believe I have heard enough testimony and I am ready for the results.
Jerome, thank you.
You're welcome.
He could just... Look at him.
Fat cheeks and all.
Eyes, ring around them.
LATISHA: Yeah, when the baby came... When Kei'mauri came,
he looked just like Mr. Lennon.
Just like him.
JUDGE LAKE: These results were prepared by DNA Diagnostics
and they read as follows.
In the case of McDaniel v. Lennon,
when it comes to one-month-old Kei'mauri McDaniel,
it has been determined by this court
Mr. Lennon,
you are not the father.
CYNTHIA: That's right.
Like I told you.
Like I told you. I told you!
I told you.
Oh!
CYNTHIA: Mmm-hmm. Hmm.
Are you sure those are right, Your Honor?
Yes, we're positive.
Are you sure?
Maurice was the only...
Defendants can lie.
Plaintiffs can lie. But the DNA...
It doesn't lie.
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING)
That's right.
Amen.
JUDGE LAKE: Ms. McDaniel, I have to ask you for Kei'mauri's sake.
Do you have
any idea who his biological father really is?
Yeah.
I believe you owe Mr. Lennon an apology though.
I apologize, Mr. Lennon.
(AUDIENCE CLAPS)
Mr. Lennon, you set yourself up for it, though.
I'm not... Look...
I just feel like she could've been more honest
that there was at least two prospects.
And that she definitively knew who the second one was.
That wasn't your testimony today.
But you set yourself up for this.
You have to date responsibly.
So we are where we are.
I am gonna have my staff
make sure they follow up with you.
And we will help you take that next step. All right?
I wish you the very best.
Court is adjourned.

That was a second time. But.
I was really surprised that night that I won for I'm Real
I think that was a first time
I love that the fans correct you on your life. Yeah yeah help me
Waiting for tonight was first that's what I thought
Yeah my first VMA. My second VMA was I'm Real.

They definitely know more than me
They know more than me. That's amazing.
You're definitely famous for your outfit changes and performances
I got a chance to see you.
Quick change, quick change and you turn it out
Now I went to see you in Vegas
and do an opening night in your residency in Vegas
you switched outfits 11 times. Yes. Yeah.
Now how do outfits factor into your performances.
They do. They do.
I just I just feel like it's part of the show for me.
And I actually have. Was out here before Kelly.
Who. I can't do it without her. She does it with me.
She does all the quick changes with me and
it's an art form in itself. You know I mean because it just
But also just to make it back out there to be calm to get
the one off the other one on and get back out there.
But for me when you do stuff like that or even
if you do stuff stuff on stage
and we change on stage it just adds to the show.
You know ultimately we're there to perform it
and give a great show to people so that's what we try to do.
if you guys get a chance to go to Vegas because
You got me tickets when I went. And you didn't even know
I was in the crowd the show was amazing and I'm.
She stays on the stage the entire time
In 1998 you had attended the VMAs for the first time.
You remember that. Yes. OK.
And then the Beastie Boys won the VMA Video Vanguard Award.
At that time that's right.
Beastie Boys shout out to the Beastie Boys
That's right.
You don't know the Beastie Boys
look them up, look them up.
Yeah go to MTV.com and search it you'll find it at that time
did it even cross your mind that one day
you would be like the Beastie Boys
and receiving an honor for the same award.
Listen I was just happy to be there.
I wasn't thinking about "Oh I'm gonna win the Vanguard Award
one day" I was nominated that night
I think for three or four different awards that night.
One of them was Best New Artist.
I was brand new on the scene and just put out my first album
My first couple videos and.
I was just I was just happy to be in the room.
I was happy to be invited to the party.
That wasn't even on your mind
Not yet. Not yet. Maybe the past few years I was thinking, what's up?
What's going on?
You know. Did you did you take anything home that night.
Like ooh I got VMA napkins.
I didn't. I shouldve You shoulda done that
That would've been real valuable right now. You can do it this year though
This year I'll definitely be taken a couple things home
Take some napkins home. Because being honored with the Vanguard Award is special
for so many reasons
but you're the first Latin artist ever to be nominated
It makes it really special because any time we can kind of
break down those barriers.
And you can show that anything is possible
and it could be done and this for you
is for everybody not just for certain people.
That's that's what those those landmarks are about.
And so I can be the person to do that.
It's not. It's not about me. It's about.

I've been working here long enough. I do what I want.
At this point. Um..
Will there be anybody that's going to join you
on stage during this performance.
Maybe. Maybe.
Maybe maybe I can get away with putting together
the performance actually right now.
I just started conceptualizing it and getting into it.
You know it's hard to get.
20 years into 10 minutes or whatever it is
they try to give you and you're like can I have a little more time
It's difficult so it's just about picking the right songs
and the right things in the right moments and.
You know obviously you're going to leave stuff out
and one of the fans would be like she didnt do play again or whatever.
And you know so that's definitely going to happen.
But.
I think we're going to put you know we're putting together
a really beautiful strong performance.
Me and my team I'm excited about.
I'm excited. I'm excited.
To perform that night OK maybe is not a no
OK. Coming up we've got more with JLo. Maybe is not a
No.

Eric Holder Allowed Big Pharma To Kill Americans With Opioids - Duration: 6:09.
The opioid crisis is responsible for more than 43,000 deaths just in 2016.
That's an average of 115 opioid overdose deaths every day.
According to the best estimates, opioids will kill another 52,000 Americans this year alone
and up to half a million people in the next decade.
Yet, the leadership of this country not only knew about the problem but they refused to
take action.
Out of all the stories of inaction, none of them compare to the fact that Eric Holder,
yes Obama's Attorney General, had all of the evidence he needed to prosecute the while
collar thugs behind the opioid epidemic.
Instead of holding them accountable, he let them go with one of the weakest slaps on the
wrist in history.
Joining me to talk about this Eric Holder story and other stories that are out there
this week is Farron Cousins.
Farron, you and I both have covered this story over the last couple of years.
It's like a story that disappeared.
Here, we have Eric Holder getting ready to run for president if you believe some of the
noise that's out there.
This story hasn't been told.
The quick on this story is Eric Holder had McKesson, had everything he need on McKesson
who is by the way the number one opioid distributor in America.
DEA was saying to him it's time to prosecute.
We need a [inaudible 00:01:26].
Basically, they were talking about criminal action secretly something else is happening.
What is it?
Well, first and foremost, we had this DEA team that had been working based out of Colorado
for several years during the Obama Administration.
It included nine field divisions working with 12 US Attorneys offices across 11 different
states.
Their task was find out how was responsible, what's going on, and why McKesson let it happen.
Finally, they finalized this report, they have everything.
They say we're going to fine them a billion dollars and more importantly, going to be
the first ever actually criminal prosecution for these pharmaceutical executives.
People pushing bad drugs, bad pills.
They wanted to set an example.
Which would've closed and I understand.
This happened.
This all started happening about seven years ago.
Right.
What everybody misses is the height of the opioid crisis was taking place while Eric
Holder was in charge.
Now, this is the ugly, ugly side of this.
I think most people miss this because they don't know the connections.
But, you had the attorney who working on behalf of McKesson, Hobart, Geoff Hobart.
He is from the same law firm that Eric Holder is from.
They work together up in Washington, DC.
They both handled white color crime together.
Geoff is right down the road, just right down the aisle from Eric Holder, while they're
working together.
Eric Holder then gets his appointment to the Attorney General's office and all of a sudden
Hobart shows up as the lead lawyer for McKesson.
The DEA is saying we got to deal with McKesson, need to shut them down.
All of a sudden, the two friends, the two pals, both of them working for the same law
firm.
Hobart is with McKesson.
Right now as we speak, he's representing McKesson.
These two buddies work out a deal.
What's the deal?
Well, the deal is we're not going to prosecute.
We're not going to take away their license, like the DEA agents said we had to do.
Basically, cut that billion dollar fine down to a few, maybe 100 million, maybe 200, whatever
it is.
It's not going to be a billion dollars and no prosecutions.
We're going to let them continue to distribute these pills all over the place including sending
millions of pills to areas with only a few thousand residents.
A few thousand?
How about a few hundred?
Kermit.
Kermit, West Virginia, this town has a population of 400 people.
McKesson was shipping in two million drugs over a period of two years.
Two million drugs into little Kermit.
Kermit, they've got a stockpile of drugs.
You got 400 people.
Here's what McKesson knew.
Here's what Holder knew.
Here's what the attorney for McKesson knew.
They knew that this glut, this extra glut that was supposed to be shipped into this
little town of Kermis ended up in this big stockpile of pills.
400 people, some of them children.
They're not using millions and millions of pills like was being shipped in by McKesson.
What ends up happening is this glut develops.
It's like a mountain of pills, then you have the oxy express that's coming up from Florida
all across the United States.
They're pulling through there unloading as many pills as they can from this little town
of Kermit and driving on to other parts of the country.
That's the kind of conduct that was happening not just in Kermit, West Virginia, it was
happening all over the United States.
They had them dead to right.
They had all the information that they needed to know, millions of pills.
One time, there was six million pills shipped into a town of 1,700 people.
Six million pills, those pills came from McKesson.
I don't know what you say to an attorney general.
The guy is in charge.
Right?
Right.
As you pointed out, Hobart was with Covington Burling and he started, I believe, in 2000
is when he came to Covington Burling.
Eric Holder comes there in 2001.
These guys worked together down the hall, same building, same floor.
These are the ... They see each other every day.
Eight years this goes on and then Holder becomes Attorney General.
Hobart still representing these people, they meet again, as you said, at this what we going
to do about McKesson.
Oh, hey.
How about a sweetheart deal?
How are your kids doing?
I used to buy their fundraising stuff in the break room.
Okay.
Here's where it really gets ugly.
You know where Holder is now?
It's right back there.
Back at Covington Burling.
You got it.
