I haven't stopped and had a vacation in 2 years.
Like literally.
Now I'm gonna get 1 month off.
I might go backpacking through Europe.

Atheist Problem of Evil (Greg Bahnsen) - Duration: 10:58.The problem of evil is first of all a logical problem
Let me try to explain
you'll be told that Christians hold to a
Series of premises and that you cannot hold all of those premises
Consistently and I'm going to simplify this we believe that God is Allgood
Secondly, we believe that God is all-powerful
Thirdly, we believe that evil exists but as the argument goes if God is all good. He wouldn't want that evil
Secondly, if he's all powerful he could eliminate that evil
Therefore if evil exists God is either not all good or not all-powerful
And that's the logical problem of evil allegedly
There's an incoherence in the Christian worldview because we have premises which will not logically hang together
But I'm going to ask this question
If you if you remember I put up on the board again the four things you keep looking at
When somebody gives an argument against Christianity you want to know if that argument will fly ask is this an arbitrary?
Consideration are there inconsistencies in this presentation? What are the consequences of it? What are the preconditions of it?
For whom is evil logically a problem
is
Evil, logically a problem for the Christian or is evil logically a problem for the non-christian
It should be obvious upon reflection that the unbeliever
cannot urge the problem of evil against you or against me unless
The unbeliever has the right to assert there is evil
If there's nothing that counts as evil
then there's no problem of evil that has to be accounted for and so it's crucial to the unbelievers case against
Christianity to be able to assert that there's evil in the world
To evaluate some specific instance as an instance of evil
So, what does the unbeliever mean by good and evil by what standard does the unbeliever determine
What counts as good or what counts is evil?
What are the presuppositions in terms of which the unbeliever makes any?
moral judgment about goodness or evil
whatsoever
Perhaps the unbeliever takes the word good and evil to pertain to what evokes public approval or disapproval
but if evil or good pertains to the evoking of approval or disapproval that on the basis
On that basis. The following statement would always be
Senseless, we sometimes say the vast majority of the community
Heartily approved of and willingly joined in that evil deed
but you see if evil is what evokes the community's
Disapproval then it could never be true that the majority of people engaged in an evil deed
The unbeliever you see is using a concept of evil that
Actually precludes a very common line of discussion or comment in the English language
The fact that a large number of people feel a certain way doesn't
Shouldn't rationally convince anybody that that feeling is correct. Ethics doesn't reduce the statistics
Ordinarily people think of the goodness of something as evoking
Their approval rather than their approval
Constituting it's goodness
See even unbelievers talk and act as though there are personal traits
Actions or things which possess the property of goodness or the property of evil
Irrespective of the attitudes or beliefs or feelings that people have about those traits actions or things
Now if there's problems in saying that good and evil are defined but what evokes the approval of most people or the
disapproval of most people then the problem is even worse if you think that good is defined but what evokes the approval of the individual
rather than the public at large
By the use of the word good somebody means I approve
Then it turns out that we could never ever agree with each other in ethical judgments
If good means Greg approves of it
So when I say, you know helping that old lady that was good and sometimes is okay
Good means evokes the approval of the speaker
Then it turns out you and I can never agree on an ethical judgment, you know, why
because when I say helping the old lady is good what I mean is I approve of it when I say that you
Think helping the old lady is good. That means that you approve of it
But that you approve every button that I approve of it is not the same
judgment one is a judgment about me one's a judgment about you and
Therefore there is no public or objective nature to good
The unbeliever usually turns then to what's called
instrumental theories of good saying that good is defined by the consequences that are brought about by an attitude or an action an
Action is good. If it achieves a certain end like the greatest happiness for the greatest number what we call utilitarianism
now the irrelevance of that concept of goodness for making ethical determinations is
That one would need to be able to rate and compare
happiness in
Order to make any judgment about goodness
If I say the good Act is what promotes the greatest happiness for the greatest number then I need to be able to evaluate
Or in some way measure the happiness that is created by the action
Moreover I need to be able to compare because some actions might bring
unhappiness to a few individuals or maybe to emit too many and the same action would bring happiness to a
lot of individuals or a few so you have unhappiness and happiness that have to be balanced and
Then you have to draw on that judgment
Okay, so I'm gonna give you an illustration
Let's say we take one of the students at the conference maybe one of the students that's you know, particularly disliked
Hasn't been showering using deodorant this week
And I bring this person up here and I say now I've got this pin and I propose to stick this pin in this individual
Now how many of you are going to be made happy by my doing that?
Why don't have it? I said how many of you think it's gonna hurt him? That's why we want you to let him have it
But you see I've got to measure his unhappiness if I'm going to be a utilitarian
Okay, and so what if the person now appeals with nice ways like your buys that don't take the bid in me I say give
me an argument you
Utilitarian you he says well it so happens that the amassed
unhappiness that I will undergo
Outweighs the total happiness of this group. I
Said well, I don't think that's true. But he's going to say well then how do you prove otherwise?
You say utilitarianism which appeals to so many people in fact liberal theology thinks utilitarianism
Which was destroyed philosophically long before Joseph Fletcher got hold of it and thought that was the way to define love
Utilitarianism makes it impossible to make moral judgments
All we can do is guess at what would bring the greatest happiness for the greatest number
We can't really prove it one way or another because we can't calculate all the consequences and we can't compare pains and pleasures
Utilitarianism is really unworkable. But there's even a more fundamental logical problem with utilitarianism
Utilitarianism or any consequential
instrumental view of goodness says
Good is what produces a particular end?
But you see you could only know that that was good if the end that is mentioned is what?
Good
that is to say
Consequential theories of ethics always begged the question as to what is intrinsically good
As I say well the good is whatever achieves this goal
Libertarians will say it's good if it maximizes freedom for people
Well, they're right if freedom for people is itself good, but that's what has to be defended
Unbelievers, don't do that
So I've tried to run through quickly some views of goodness that have been propagated in the 20th century
evokes approval public
Individual or as instrumental and it turns out none of them are workable theories of meta ethics
That is the philosophy of ethics. What is the nature of good and evil? Why am I bothering to bore you with these illustrations because
If the unbeliever says you have an inconsistency in your system
You say God is Allgood you say God is all-powerful
And then there's this evil you have the right to say
Can you prove that that's evil and it turns out they can't prove that what they're talking about is evil
The point is you can say that it's evil because your worldview accounts for that judgment
Because there is a living and true creator of heaven and earth who sovereignly controls all things and his character is holy and
Unchanging has revealed himself and so forth and so on. It makes perfectly good sense for a Christian say child molestation is wicked
It's abominable in the eyes of God. I would argue that it should be punished with death. It's so terrible
But I can make sense of that. What you want to know is how can the unbeliever make sense of that?
When a person condemns child molestation or you can pick whatever example you want they are assuming moral
absolutes
but moral absolutes cannot be made sense of are not
Intelligible, except in the Christian worldview. The problem of evil is not even
Intelligible, you can't even make sense of the problem of evil unless you begin with the Christian conception of the world

AMAZING PLANTED AQUARIUMS - Aquarium Design Group. Aquascaping Masters - Duration: 15:24.you
if there was going to be a dream team of
aquascape birds coming out of the United
States we've got some guys from the Aqua
campers collective that would be on that
team but if I had that grab two captains
for that team you're staying at them
right here we've got Jeff and Mike Cenci
from the aquarium design group I'm sure
many of you have heard of it if you have
it in about 2008 I went to the aquatic
Gardeners convention and I saw these
guys aquariums and it kind of changed my
game and they both have studied under
the late takashi amano and have been
instrumental in the aquarium just design
game here in the US you can see some of
the stuff coming on behind here I am
super excited to have it they have an
amazing gallery down in Houston then
I've had people that have nothing to do
with playing aquariums or design stay
it's simply remarkable
just like pioneers these guys do
background designs for some of the like
ready-made designs it's a great honor to
introduce Mike and Jeff's desk in the
aquarium design group thank you so much
thank you desk
I'm babysitting introduction there
that's how it is really awesome thank
you so much
so yeah it's real honor to be here this
shows been absolutely just exceeding all
expectations so yeah I guess we're just
gonna maybe talk a little bit about our
philosophy kind of what our perspective
is on aquarium hobby and maybe a little
bit about the industry in general our
approach and a lot of what we do with
the designs we create and a lot of the
sort of aquascaping philosophy that we
employ is geared towards attracting or
or showing somebody something I think
most of us would agree is a is a fairly
sophisticated expression inside the
aquarium right this is a this is not
blue gravel and a bubbling sea chest not
that there's anything wrong with that
but it's showing something that's
sophisticated or has an eye for
aesthetics or design or composition or
kind of leading with design I'd love to
see just a cultural shift where it was
just more common for people to have
aquariums in their spaces and we're
always looking to ways
to do that you know and just on the
subject of resources with the fantastic
you know Aquos capers collector here and
you guys as you know hip with the fourth
place award in the ia plc this year
number one of just a massive
accomplishment for any an Aquos caper to
an even more significant accomplishment
for a for somebody who aquascape twith
in the u.s. there's a couple of other
guys that put us a but they you know if
you're putting USA as your entry is fine
but you live in Japan and this is a
different thing and by that I mean the
resources available this ties into kinda
what I'm talking about as far as our
philosophy but to achieve a high level
work in the United States today we talk
about the world stage of aquascaping
this is a much much much bigger feat
that the rest of the world I don't think
has any idea because the guys
aquascaping in that Asian and European
markets unless you've been there you
cannot begin to fathom the depth and
vastness of the resources there so to
pull together something what if did
takes a lair of a vision and
determination and creativity that I I'm
gonna make it my a little personal
campaign maybe here in the social media
everything else over the next year to
really kind of draw a little attention
to the significance of that given the
bordering on scarcity of the types of
resources specifically for aquascaping
that they have in the rest of the world
that I think we're all really really
passionate about building here obviously
guys like Dustin to just just really
doing the work to try and bring these
things to everybody and even at that I'm
sure knowing that the struggles and
obviously increased demand just fuels
all of this and so while sometimes in
our work you might see a plastic plant
you may see you know a lot of our
hardscape only designs are very minimal
you know that I know isn't necessarily
to the tastes of everybody's particular
niche perhaps but just always know that
that's what what I when I put a plastic
plant in the tank it's really only
trying to open the door it's trying to
show greater opportunity to people as an
entry point because as all our
high-level Aquos papers here know do
that is not an easy thing to do and
there's a body of mod knowledge a lot of
experience if you just set up a plan of
tank with co2 bright light and soil
don't don't have travel plans for at
least the next 30 to 60 days I mean it's
just it would be a mistake you're not
going on vacation for a week because
you're gonna be needing to keep an eye
on this thing you're going to be doing
the water changes all the rest of it
this is my brother Mike first of all
thank you Destin I always enjoy talking
on the phone thanks for having us over
here and sharing the love brother and
staying diligent and doing the work and
boots on the ground and making it happen
and awesome to see the like debacle
escapers here as well keeping the
movement going aquascaping the live
aquascaping demos over there and working
with people i think is amazing gives
people a first animist initial
experience of putting it together and
how cool it can be meant all that for
both speaking for Jeff also it's been a
it's the whole Aqua Shella thing we
haven't done any things like this we
haven't he just been to the aquatic
experience and stuff but I haven't been
out to things that these things in a
while so it's always nice and refreshing
to get away from a DG and just the
inspiration and meeting and seeing you
guys and just getting all the positive
feedback and all the love and everything
and taking all that that back with us as
well but I think what Jeff said you know
he's better wording it properly to just
overall philosophy and
with aquascaping in the design and just
the initial inspiration and getting
getting those people you know there's
all the hobbyists that are into relevant
you know do it but getting those those
people into at the aquarium lover that
that love and acorrea been approaching
it where it's just not so intimidating
you know with the right plants maybe
just kind of developed a style in the
gallery just using you know you know
anubius mosses the cardia you know
lucifer Landrieu's and things like that
that are just we're not committed to a
soil you're not necessarily committed to
daily water changes but yet it's
extremely beautiful and I think getting
people into that success early on is
important and we kind of continuing on
as well and then a bracing aquascaping
everything like you know I hate to use
like a term but like they're like oh
geez right like a good gangster so I
want to kind of take that term and
somehow tie it to a motto but I think
that I think there's they wanted to talk
about it and I think it's worth kind of
pointing out King Mike can you kind of
talk about your origins with this like
did you guys have been doing this for a
while can you kind of talk about how you
all got into it I did a kid doctor
skating contest because I want to poison
the young kids but can you talk about
like you know when you were younger how
that started and how you guys got to
become a tease you can give you a quick
cliff notes of it so aquariums go back
in our family cut but go back in our
family a couple of generations our
father was born in Germany our
grandfather kept aquariums in Germany
and had me at a young age and their
aquariums are always in the house
he's a veterinarian and even when he was
in veterinary school he had a small
aquarium store in Oklahoma so the first
time I had my five gallon aquarium and
Guppies with some floating hornwort and
the Guppies had babies that was it was
that was on from there Jeff would kind
of follow into the Hobby a little bit
later and embrace it early on in the 90s
we did have kind of I myself when both
of us have kind of work full circle in
industry as young young guys worked from
our experience in retail shops in the
early 90s we had a small retail aquarium
store took on a lot of learning lessons
at that time went on to start aquarium
design group in 99 2000 which was a
challenging year but had the opportunity
to meet a mano at this first trip here
for the aga convention at that time Jeff
who's handles all the corn design group
the social media all the photography all
the video they're all familiar with his
self talk so he has no formal training
in photography or video so we hired you
know you see our contextual
photographers shoot a picture of an
aquarium in a room you'd see the room
not the aquarium and Jeff really found a
way to bring the eternium into the space
so we travel to the first AGA and I
remember sitting in the lobby both Jeff
and I we hand Amano our pictures that
Jeff had taken of our early on
aquascapes this is 2000 2000 2001 and
that these words is still stick with us
today I'm honest said you you have
beautiful aquariums you take nice
pictures but your aquariums lack
philosophy and we kind of knew what that
has like obi-wan cannot be kind of
telling like look
no you're just putting some stuff
together there's not a philosophy or a
vision behind that so and we had the
opportunity to also become an ad a
distributor for many years that allowed
us the opportunity to go to Japan for
nature cornering parties Jeff actually
stayed there longer on one visit and did
the whole nature aquarium certification
program as well and had a two to two or
three two or three opportunities I guess
that every time I wanted would come here
for the AJ we would have him back in our
hotel room with a half gallon of Jack
Daniel's and you know through a
translator but we're able to ask a lot
of questions on it also as a business as
well you know like hey did you know did
you have that account or somebody
sitting over you when you want to go to
this Knox escape you're in the business
you know what it's like when you want to
expand or do something that inspires
people you got to think about the
dollars you put behind it and it
resonated with us as well as like now I
just I did it for the passion I did I
did it and to inspire and then the rest
would follow to follow behind that you
know so we're going on our 18th year in
business it's not said it's a chance of
challenging business a lot a lot of what
you see that we do covers everything
from you know decorative fresh water
with plastic plants to live Reed's got a
great staff or a staff of about 20 in
Houston staff marine biologists as well
we don't do a lot of live planted tanks
we actually don't do any live planet
tanks for our service and maintenance
clientele because that commitment when
they see a you know a high tech high
level they see in a mono picture in the
mirror your own personal work that
you've done you win an award with we all
know what that commitment is and so they
in the quarry maintenance service
business that's not a scalable model
would we love to do that what I love to
have a to meet you guys in Houston doing
nothing but aquascaping high level plant
tanks sure that that's in that we're not
there yet you know but that is still
Jeff and
our true core passion is definitely if
to see if he ever had to we weren't in
the business he had to take it take away
at all and say okay you guys get to
choose one style of aquarium to do and
that's it it would be the plan in the
corner for sure you have Jeff you want
to add anything to that I'm just on the
note of mr. Mona because it's I can't
stress enough and I maybe got caught up
in a little bit of a spiel yesterday
with the Aqua skaters collective guys
just about the importance and the
influence and kind of just a certain
reverence for for him that is it's just
personally I guess sort of important to
me because when we say aquascaping that
he we can trace that still to one man
and the man just passed three years ago
this isn't like a hundred and fifty
years ago there was this guy doing this
thing and it's not even like it was a
movement or there was you know a group
of 10 or 20 or it we literally can trace
the vastness of this influence to one
human being who was only just so
recently with us you know so anytime we
see a rocks and a planted tank does not
sticking up like this but tipping over
just a little like this in creating a
certain indescribable tension or a
certain feeling that if I move the rock
up two more degrees would change like
that perspective that approach that
thing that's giving us access to a
greater sense of design or composition
or almost sort of a sort of a cosmic
formula of sorts playing out inside the
aquarium you know we really can't erase
that too one man and so getting to know
him personally so early in our careers
was just me I can't I could not stay
strongly enough how influential that was
to the point that literally everything
that we've done since is informed by our
inspiration from him and I Satan know
Amano
no no Amano no aquascaping really we
would still just be kind of keeping fish
tanks all of which is fine and beautiful
but I think most of us would agree that
when we say aquascaping this thing has
been something new in the in the hobby
in the industry this this has created a
whole new dimension and brought new
people in a new resources and expanded
what the accordant is and you know any
time we're doing this sort of derivative
work you know that's really and because
if you got it from somebody else they
probably got it from him you know and so
we can really trace that back so I like
to be very careful not to take I don't
wanna I don't claim too much of this
work as I have some unique special
vision that someone else doesn't because
the very vast majority of kind of the
essence of what we do if not the actual
lay out that the essence or the
inspiration of the philosophy of that
lay out is rooted in the teachings of
mr. Amano and that's just a really big
big thing to me to always make sure that
we kind of keep that fresh on our minds
at least through this generation so yeah
absolutely big deal just really
appreciate it thanks so much for
listening

What CS:GO's cheating problem means for the game, and how the community has tried to fix it - Duration: 9:01.CS:GO is not a perfect game by any stretch of the imagination. It has its issues from tick rate,
(Stream)
To smurfing
(Stream)
To toxicity.
(Stream)
But none of these issues stack up to Counter-Strike's biggest problem.
Cheating.
(Stream)
So we all know that cheating sucks,
and what's even worse is that it often feels like Valve isn't actually doing anything about it.
CS:GO's lack of an intrusive anti-cheat system has left a lot of people without any faith
in the existing VAC system.
See, CS:GO is a really attractive game to cheat in, partly because of its snappy combat.
Here's a Valve at a GDC talk in 2018
"The design is this very satisfying combat experience where almost any weapon in the game can be a
one-shot kill
But that does also sort of fail to disincentivize cheating."
The game is also relatively cheap and easy to run compared to games like Call of Duty or Battlefield.
It's also extremely easy to start up a new account once one of your old ones gets banned.
So there are a lot of cheaters.
According to SteamDB, thousands of people get VAC banned every single day,
and when a wave hits,
60 thousand people can get hit by the ban hammer all at once.
It's at the point where real great plays from honest players are being called out
as an example of a cheater who hasn't been caught yet.
"It's the same pattern. He locks on the enemy that starts doing his weird f*cking shape.
This one's right on crisp clean lock boys."
So, what does Valve do to combat cheating. The current system works on two fronts.
The first is VAC, which looks for identified and installed cheating programs, and also checks the game files
to make sure nothing's been tampered with.
The other front is Overwatch.
Overwatch lets a selected group watch a reported players matches to determine if they're cheating or not.
If enough people vote that the player is a hacker they get hit by the banhammer
But that existing system is exactly why cheating has flourished in CS:GO.
So Valve began developing VACNet in 2016 after
massive community outrage regarding the cheating issue.
"Only thing the community was talking about was cheating.
It was this just deafening conversation."
They silently deployed it at the beginning of 2017.
"Here we deployed VACnet and you can see hey we started getting more convictions, that's great."
VACnet is a deep learning tool that works to get as many people into the Overwatch system as possible.
"VACnet gets a conviction when
it submits a case it convicts 80 to 95 percent of the time."
Valve also developed a trust score system
designed to put cheaters in matches with other cheaters.
This makes sure that they play with each other while clean players play with other clean players.
In theory as VACnet gets rolling and
more and more cheaters get banned the game should feel more fair
That's because when those cheaters return to the game,
they'll all be matched up against each other due to their trust score
But the issue is that the game's top players have already left Valve's matchmaking system.
And while they'll be under VACnet's watchful eye it all seems like too little too late.
The community has found something of a solution to the cheating that runs rampant
on Valve's official matchmaking servers.
ESEA and Faceit offer
third-party pay to play servers with robust anti-cheat systems.
FaceIt even has a free version with a lot of the same benefits.
Neither Valve nor ESEA or Faceit want to show their hands
and reveal exactly how their anti-cheats work, which makes sense.
If no one knows how the anti-cheat works then cheaters will never be able to beat it
What we do know is that both ESEA and Faceit use intrusive anti cheats,
which check what else is going on in your computer while you're playing, and Valve uses a much
simpler system.
"ESEA can f*cking watch porn with me. Let me tell you dude
I could f***ing pull up a porn thing and some f***ing dev over at ESEA can watch it with me
having a grand ol' time. It's very intrusive.
So they have to let you know that it's very intrusive.
They can tell you exactly what the f*** you're doing on your comp homie."
And that's not the only reason that CS:GO players have switched over. Faceit and ESEA boast servers with
128 tick. The rate at which the server refreshes.
That's double what Valve has and something the community has wanted for a long time.
There's also a general
understanding that players are going to be less toxic and more serious on these services
because they're often paying for the right to play.
Now that's not always the case, toxicity usually finds a way to seep through.
(Stream)
And Rank S and FPL, the top ranks on the servers, don't have a lot of spots to go around.
Which means only the best players get to have that experience.
But overall third-party software provides the best experience for CS:GO pros to play against other pros.
Faceit and ESEA even offer payout for the top performers in each region at the end of the season.
This system affects real players from Silver to Global from Rank D minus to S. From Bronze to Pro League.
No matter where you play though, if you're an unknown or a less known player,
people are more likely to assume you're cheating than that
you actually earned your rank.
And the most recent example of this is 17 year old Faceit Pro League player d0cc.
D0cc ripped his way through the Faceit ranks and made it to Pro League, all without ever using a mic.
Communication is key in high-level CS and this was pretty unusual.
(Stream)
He even streamed his games but with no camera, And again
No mic. This gave him an air of mystery that led to a lot of online
speculation about his actual skill.
On the surface d0cc is a really talented player. He's even gotten some praise from top pros.
(Stream)
But the overwhelming voice of people accusing d0cc of cheating
overshadowed his skill. Fellow Dutchman ChrisJ reached out to help d0cc prove his innocence
But he refused.
"I asked him if he could come over and play from my place
But he says he cannot come until he's 18.
It's like whatever if he doesn't want to prove himself, then it's strange to me
but I cannot force him."
d0cc eventually met up with Faceit in the Netherlands to play under supervised conditions
and prove his legitimacy so he could join the ranks of FPL.
Sure he passed but his reputation is tarnished.
If d0cc ever chooses to pursue a career in CS:GO later on in life, those accusations
of cheating or going to haunt him and d0cc's story is eerily similar to Ropz.
Ropz was an up-and-coming player in the EU FPL and just like d0cc, he had to deal with plenty of
accusations of cheating early on in his career.
"He might be cheating actually. Watch this sh*t. He does like these quick looks.
That's so weird bro. Like why are you doing that."
"And did it. He did it right after he got the kill.
I think it's just one of these things where he has an OCD twitch.
I don't think he cheats.
I don't think they're right about that, you gotta watch all his streams and see why he's looking there.
I think it's just some OCD."
The community picked apart every aspect of his play to try and prove that he was cheating.
And just like D0cc, Ropz's eventually travelled to meet with Faceit employees
and play under supervised conditions to prove his legitimacy.
He also passed and is now a pro player playing for Mousesports.
Faceit might trust our anti-cheat but after years of dealing with cheaters running rampant
on Valve's official matchmaking services,
They don't trust anyone. The lack of pros on matchmaking is a unique problem to CS:GO.
League, Dota, Overwatch, all the major esports titles have pros in the
highest echelon of their matchmaking servers.
CS:GO on the other hand is so broken that it needs third parties to come in and clean up the mess.
"To really have fun in the game and feel like you're playing anything close to what pros play.
You tend to need some third party
service, that's not really the case in League of Legends
that actually got a fairly decent ranked system. Overwatch likewise, not really the case."
But Valve is off to a good start when it comes to fixing matchmaking.
The new more efficient anti-cheat is unbelievably important for the longevity of a competitive multiplayer
game.
They can change the server and even tackling smurfing might bring a lot of players back.
But none of that is ever going to matter to the top level of players.
They've left matchmaking behind and as ESEA and Faceit are rapidly improving
there's basically no downside to playing on them. Besides some players' monthly fee.
Sure the vast majority of CS' casual audience will reap the benefits of Valve's changes,
but the pros are never coming back.

The christenings were held in the Novodevichy Convent of Moscow.
Claudia was born in Australia, but the girl really wants to get Russian citizenship and return to our country.
Its fate is connected with the events of 100 years ago, when the best people of Russia were forced to go abroad.
Their children and grandchildren were born outside of Russia, and now they want to come back.
As well as Claudia.

Lavrov Welcomes Muallem to Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow - Duration: 6:03.Minister Muallem,
My dear friend,
Colleagues,
Friends,
Welcome to the Russian Foreign Ministry in Moscow.
I know that this is not your only meeting here in the Russian capital.
You are also having talks with Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov who replaced Dmitry Rogozin as the Co-Chairman of the Russian-Syrian Permanent Intergovernmental Commission for Trade, Economic, Scientific and Technical Cooperation on Russia's side.
We believe that this is a rather timely meeting.
There are tasks remaining for the complete eradication of terrorism in Syria.
The necessary conditions have been created for peaceful life and a return of the refugees.
Certainly, the projects of economic cooperation currently being discussed by the bilateral inter-governmental commission will contribute to this effort.
Of course, we will discuss the external aspects of the situation in our country, including the importance of using the resources of the international community to assist Syria.
In addition to that, we need to increase our progress towards the political process that began during the Syrian National Dialogue Congress in Sochi.
All these efforts are facing strong opposition from those who want to undermine this activity and prevent an expeditious return to normal life and stabilisation in the country.
We have seen such attempts and will present our assessment of these actions here today.
Of course, we will listen to the opinions of our Syrian friends.
The stance of Russia and Syria on the issue is absolutely clear. It is based on international law, UNSC Resolution 2254, the main provision of which is the requirement that the Syrian nation determine the future of its own country.
We will additionally share our impression of the meetings with our colleagues from Turkey, Saudi Arabia and our other partners.
There are many points to cover.
Welcome. I am very happy to see you.

Milk Makeup Matte Loose Setting Powder + 3 Ways to Glow | This Week in Beauty with ipsy 8/30 - Duration: 6:28.(upbeat music)
- Hey guys, I'm Roxette Arisa
and you're watching This Week in Beauty with ipsy.
So today we're gonna kick things off
with a brand new launch from Milk Makeup.
So this is their blur and set matte loose setting powder.
It's a lightweight setting powder.
It absorbs oil, it cuts shine,
it leaves your skin super matte,
and on top of that, it actually blurs out your pores
and imperfections and it comes in three different shades.
So we have the translucent light,
the translucent medium,
and then we also have the translucent deep.
When you open up the powder,
you can see that it actually comes with a sponge
which I think is cool and just very convenient,
but on top of that it has almost a little stopper
just to keep things nice and tidy and organized.
That's the worst thing when you're traveling
or you put your loose powder in your makeup bag
and you just find that powder has sifted all throughout
the top and when you open it, it's a mess.
This is perfect because it keeps things organized,
and you have a little spot for your sponge as well.
The best thing about this
is not only is this a lightweight powder,
it does have that pore blurring technology,
so when you're baking, it just leaves you
with the most flawless finish
because it's really filling in the pores I should say
and giving you a flat, flawless surface
and my trick for setting your makeup
is to actually set not only under the eyes
which is, I would say, the primary place that people bake
but also around the smile lines
because the under eye area and the smile lines
are the top two places that you will crease during the day
if you are wearing your makeup all day long,
if you have it on for a while,
you will crease in those areas
especially if you have more oily skin.
So I personally like to bake both under here
and on here and I feel it
creates almost like a triangle of armor
so that my makeup really does stay on my face,
but also blur out those pores.
So let us know,
are you gonna check out Milk's new setting powders?
Comment down below and let me know
and while I may not be about the shine,
I'm definitely about a good glow.
So, we're gonna tell you guys
about some three amazing highlighters
that are gonna give you that goddess glow.
You all know I am all about the glow.
So today I want to highlight a couple products
that are giving us some seriously stunning shimmer power.
So they do come in all forms, if you don't know,
highlights can come in so many different forms.
We have here a liquid, a powder, and a cream highlight.
So I wanted to talk to you guys
about all of them.
First off, we have the Eddie Funkhouser Glow Drops.
So this is a liquid highlighter
and this is actually a August glam bag product,
so you may find it in your glam bag this month,
but the great thing about liquid highlighters
is that you can it in with your moisturizer,
your liquid foundation, your body lotion,
and it's just gonna give you that beautiful, all over glow.
It almost gives a sheer radiance to the skin.
It is really, really pretty
and my tip or my biggest tip I should say
for applying liquid highlighter
is to never apply it over top of powders
because that's when it can start to look cakey.
It can actually lift up the products from underneath it.
So if you have applied a powder already,
it will actually lift up the powder
when you're blending it in.
So never do that, always mix it in with other products
or you can use it with your primer
underneath your makeup
to give you that luminosity right
at the beginning at the base of your makeup.
So moving on to our powder highlighter we have here.
This is the Ciate London Glow-to Highlight
in the shade of moondust pink.
It's a really, really pretty almost like rose gold shade.
I think it would be great for so many different skin tones
and this is actually another product that we have
in our August glam bag, so again,
you may see this in yours and like I said before,
it's just such a pretty color.
This particular one is a very blendable formula.
It has almost a velvety soft finish to it
and it's just gonna look great
on so many different skin tones like I said already.
I know I said that but I'm just repeating it
because it really is
and my rule of thumb to know how to apply
your highlight best or at least not to apply too much
because we've all been there, I definitely have
had days when I just had that stripe of highlight
and it wasn't cute and I looked back on pictures
and I'm like, wow,
you probably shouldn't of done that,
but what I've learned to do is just deposit most
of the pigment right on the tip of the cheekbone
right where the light wouldn't actually hit your face
and then with whatever's already left over on the brush,
you can just blend that out into the hairline
almost like in a C shape
and then even down to the apple of the cheek
and that's what I find to be the most natural
but still blinding sort of highlight
because you are getting that pigmentation
right on the tip of the cheekbone
or right on the top of the cheekbone,
but you're blending it out
so it looks a little bit more natural.
So that's my best tip for applying powder highlighters
and not getting that stripe.
Next up we have a cream highlighter.
So this is the Clinique Chubby Stick Sculpting Highlight.
This one is available on ipsy shopper
and it is a cream highlight, like I said.
So you kind of apply it straight from the tube,
but my favorite thing to do is actually take it
with the warmth of my fingertip
and then pat it into the skin
because again, it just gives you such
a natural radiance to your skin
and creams you can actually apply
over top of powders as long as
you're using this tapping motion right here.
I definitely wouldn't take the stick
and wipe it on top of the powder
because again you may lose some of the powder underneath,
but it is great to use that tapping motion
and get that soft radiance
if that is what you're looking for,
but my best tip and my favorite thing to do
with a cream highlighter
is actually use it to layer your highlights
and make it just last all day, get that glow going.
So what I would do is actually put this on
before I have baked, before I've used powders,
and then go over it with
our powder highlight in the high parts of the face
and this just makes your highlight stay all day long
and really give you that glow for a longer period of time
because powders are the first things
to wear off of your face.
So when you're layering it over a cream,
it has something to stick onto a little bit better
and it has a better base to hold it down
and hold it in place all day.
So that's my best tip.
Layer your highlighters and get that glow going all day.
So, let us know down in the comment section
what are your favorite highlighters?
We would love to hear.
You guys know I'm a highlight fiend.
I have so many highlighters,
but I always feel like I can't get enough
because there's just so much glow to go around,
but that is all we have time for today.
Thank you guys so much for watching
this Week in Beauty with ipsy.
I'm Roxette Arisa and we will see you next time.

TIGHTLINE: Fly Fishing Gecko, Red Tide vs. Crimson Tide - Duration: 2:33.What's up YouTube welcome to Tightline,
the only fishing news and highlights show on the web.
and today reptiles don't make good fishing buddies.
The Geico gecko has been keeping his lines tight.
Geico wants to sell insurance to fly fishermen, and I love this commercial,
but I don't think this marketing idea is going to work out very well.
You see, fly fisherman wants us to believe that they ride horseback,
and they live in the woods, and they tie their own flies
with elk fur that they harvested with their handmade bows.
Buying insurance just doesn't fit their image.
But Anglers in Florida are calling Geico to see if they cover natural disasters.
The red tide has been declared an emergency and local businesses and the fishing industry is suffering.
(Man off camera) - 80% of what I get paid for is the pursuit of one of those on a fly rod,
fly rod somebody to catch one . . . that's a fish of a lifetime on a fly rod for a lot of people
- Damn, fly fishermen are out on the ocean too?
How'd you train your horse to swim all the way out there?
- I do warn you thoughc this might be a little alarming for your viewers
So definitely just take into account,
but the city of Sanibel did just clean up this big tarpon fish, washing up here on sanibel
definitely heartbreaking to see such a big animal seeing the effects of red tide here.
- It is heartbreaking,
An old rich white guy from Colorado was going to catch that fish.
By the way bama fans, is the Crimson Tide named after this devastating natural phenomenon?
(Marching band plays Alabama fight song)
I had to cover the red tide just because it's such big news right now and it's effecting so many people.
But normally I'd like to keep this show a little bit more lighthearted.
I want to feature the best fishing highlights on the web, including yours, so I need your help!
Subscribe, leave a comment, and tag me on social media,
But most of all, keep those lines tight!
