Hey everyone. Welcome back to the Fuji Guys Channel. I'm Gord of the Fuji Guys.
The X-A5 is Fujifilm's latest entry-level mirrorless digital camera. In this video
I'm going to help you with some tips and tricks on taking it out of the box,
putting it all together and start taking photos. If you want to find out more
about the X-A5, stick around.
Depending on your country, the X-A5 is available a
couple of different ways; including body only or with the 15 to 45 power zoom lens.
For this video, I'll be working with the zoom lens kit version. If you open up
the top of the box, you'll find, up on the very top things like your warranty
information as well as a quick reference guide. Always a good idea to keep that
handy for you can reference it a bit later on. If you take the top cardboard
off you'll find the camera as well as the zoom lens. It's easy enough to pick
up through the center portion of it. And then from there they're actually holes
in the bottom of the inserts to be able to push the camera up ever so slightly
to take it out of the box. Same thing for the lens. The bottom of the box we'll find
a few other pieces including: the camera strap for the camera as well as a
microUSB cable, the NP-W126s battery and a USB to AC adapter. Now, that includes
the AC mains plug portion depending on your country. So, let's start with opening
that up as well, as the USB adapter. It's just a matter of inserting the mains cable
plug into the USB adapter. Then, take the battery out of the packaging as well as
the USB cable.
Then the lens and the camera. The camera strap's fairly easy. It just loops
through the two lugs on the sides of the camera, so I won't be bothering putting
that on. Taking a look at the actual portions within here. The battery as well
as an optional SD, SD-HC or SD-XC card goes in the bottom of the camera.
Opening that up first let's put the battery in. There's an orange marking
on the battery and you line up the orange marking on the battery with the
orange tab in the camera. If you inadvertently put it in the incorrect
way you'll find that the battery door cover doesn't close properly. So let's
put that in. The SD card goes in one way only and the way I remember that is
looking at the gold contacts of the card, lining that up with the gold sticker on
the battery door, and it slides in there locks in place. It's just a matter of
pushing it in again to be able to take the card back out. The battery will have
a little bit of charge in it but it's always a good idea to charge the battery
up before your first use. To do that, open up the door on the side of the camera
and inside here you'll find a micro HDMI as well as the micro USB port and it's
just a matter of plugging in the micro USB cable to the port and then plugging
that into the AC mains adapter. And plugging it in and charging it up.
Alternately you could plug this into a computer although it will take a little
bit longer to charge up. Putting a lens on the camera is fairly easy to do. It's just
a matter of taking the body cap off. Whenever I take the body cap off and
have the sensor exposed I always like to have the camera pointed down ever so
slightly. This will prevent any dust from inadvertently falling in on the sensor
and messing up my pictures. Take the lens rear lens cap cover off. To put the
lens on the camera you'll line up the orange marking of the lens with the
orange dot on the lens barrel and turn it clockwise about a third of a turn.
Well, you're just about ready to take a picture in just a second.
Power on the camera, the lens will extend and it'll actually go
through the process of starting up When you first power on the X-A5, it'll
actually want to pair it up using the Bluetooth with your smartphone. So, it's a
good idea to have it handy. When you first power it on you'll actually have
the ability to register the pairing. And, from there you'll actually find a QR
code on the camera that you can scan with your smartphone to take you to a
webpage to be able to download the app. I already have the app installed on my
phone now so I just matter of going into "Pairing Registration", looking for the
camera name, clicking on it and it will
automatically connect up. If you want to you can actually now transfer the date
and time from your smartphone to the camera. That makes the setup process a
lot easier. Alternately, you can hit "Back" and go past
all of these to be able to set the date manually. Once that's all done, now
I'm ready to go and if I can choose my program selector on the top.
SR+ is a good place to start. I can compose my picture by using the
zoom lens. The power zoom lens zooms using the toggle or I can fine-tune my
positioning and take my first picture. To play the picture back now I can zoom in
if I want to toggle around and be able to share that very quickly and easily
with my friends and family on Facebook etc., using the smart phone app which
we'll talk about in another video. There you go, that's how you can get the X-A5
out of the box and start taking pictures fairly quickly and easily. I hope you
enjoyed it. If you should have any questions about this video feel free to leave them
in the comments and question section down below. If you subscribe to our YouTube
channel you'll see all the different videos that we have available including
those from the X-A5, like our first look as well as top features videos. Look for

I'm Gord of the Fuji Guys. Thanks for watching.

You Were Born Selfish - Duration: 3:22.
So, what does Adam and Eve's sin
mean for you and me?
Well, first off
it means that we're no longer born holy.
We're born sinful.
The psalmist says,
"Surely, I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me."
That truth of Scripture is
called original or inherited sin.
The idea is that it's
passed on from one generation to the other.
So,
you have your parents to thank
for original sin,
and they can thank their parents
and all the way back to Adam and Eve.
The concept is very simple.
Apple trees produce apples.
Orange trees produce oranges.
Potato trees produce . . .
did I fool you on that one?
There are no potato trees.
But sinful human beings?
They produce
sinful human beings.
And it doesn't take long for us to show it.
When my daughter, Evie, was born.
Beth and I thought
that she was probably the perfect baby.
She was so good,
we thought maybe original sin
had jumped a generation
because she would,
we'd be out and about and,
you know how this works if you're a parent.
You're not able to feed them
at the ideal time for them.
And she would give just a little squawk,
kind of saying,
"You know what mom and dad?
I know you're super busy
but I'm really hungry
so whenever you get around to feeding me,
that'd be great."
But that did not last long.
It did not take long for her to realize
that if she screams her head off,
mom and dad jump into action right away.
We don't need to teach our kids to be selfish.
They're born with it.
But the worst effect of sin
is death.
The Bible says
for the wages of sin is death.
And it says all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God.
So let's do this.
Let's say that
we're going on a trip.
It's me, and you, and a friend of yours.
And we're going to go to the Grand Canyon.
And we get to a spot at the Grand Canyon
that is about a mile wide.
Then I say to you,
"Hey guys, I've got a great idea!
Let's try to jump across."
And you say,
"That's awesome, Dave. You first."
So, I go first.
And
I get up to the edge
of the mountain, or of the cliff,
and I trip on a rock
and I bounce off the rock
face all the way down.
What happens to me?
I die.
Okay, then your friend goes next.
And they've got a nice jump,
a 15-foot jump.
What happens to them?
They die.
And now you go
and you got some crazy tale wind or something
and you set a new world record,
50 feet.
What happens to you?
You die.
No matter how good we think we are,
we don't even come close
to what God expects.
We need somebody
to cross this bridge for us.
And the Bible says that we have that someone.
The Bible says,
"God made him who had no sin
to be sin for us,
so that in him we might become
the righteousness or the holiness of God."
Jesus actually became
my sin and yours on the cross.
And in exchange,
he gave us his holiness and his perfection.
We'll talk more about how he did that tomorrow.

- Oh yeah, I do.
Yeah, every weekend.
- I don't, I think that that is so lame.

- Yes.
- Does he look like you?
- Yes, kind of.

TRUE - Day 30 - BE YOU | Yoga With Adriene - Duration: 31:28.
- Hello my darling friends and welcome to TRUE,
your 30 day yoga journey.
It's Day 29, my lucky number, and you've got to be brave.
Let's get started.
(uplifting music)
Okay pals, let's begin in a nice, comfortable seat.
Once you get down on the ground,
just take a moment to get settled in
and when you're ready sit up nice and tall.
Relax your shoulders down.
Close your eyes.
And start to listen.
Part of what really just
amazes me about this journey
that we're on together,
and this practice, and this generous act of showing
up for yourself every day for 30 days,
part of what is so amazing to me is just the amount of bravery
and guts it takes to show up
and really look inside and see who's there.
You know, the practice doesn't always align with your energy or
your mood or your schedule but when you get there,
you have this opportunity to either really take advantage and
look and see what's going on today or to kind of sit on the
sidelines and just get through it.
And one way brings you closer, more in touch with yourself.
So leaning into this idea of just getting to know yourself,
your true self and trusting that
just by showing up you have the
opportunity to say yes to that conversation.
So one of the ways we do that, of course,
is by starting with the breath to really listen to the sound of
the breath to kind of help anchor the mind.
I kicked your butt a little bit yesterday,
so today's practice will be a little more well-balanced but
I encourage you to be brave.
Really see what are you feeling today.
Draw the hands together at the heart.
And consider the fact that everything is constantly
changing so where you were yesterday
is not gonna be where you are today.
You can feel one thing in one moment and then the next moment
you can feel something entirely different.
You can be sure of something in one breath,
and then completely contradict it in the next.
Take a moment to blanket yourself
in love and appreciation.
For being brave enough to show up here and listen.
Gently bow the head to the heart,
start to get a nice stretch in the back of the neck.
And then slowly we'll lift the head, open the eyes,
bring the fingertips to the earth.
Ready? Inhale, reach for the sky.
Slow and steady.
Lengthen through the side body.
Exhale, float it down.
Inhale, reach for the sky.
And exhale, float it down.
Inhale, reach.
And exhale down and now start to integrate the neck by maybe
moving the nose in line with the arms or the hands,
excuse me.
Synchronizing breath and body, inhale
and exhale. Great, one more time.
Inhale, and exhale.
Great from here, walk the fingertips
a little bit behind you.
You're gonna uncross the legs and just have
one foot in front of the other here.
It doesn't matter which one.
Then we're gonna turn the fingertips face in and then
bring the palms to the earth, lean back.
And then a big heart opener here as you loop the shoulders,
inhale, lift the chest, stay here or
option to lift the hip points forward.
Think about them going forward rather than up.
Big stretch as you inhale, and then exhale all the way back.
You're gonna take it forward.
All the way, walking the fingertips forward.
Stretching through the hip.
And then come all the way back up.
Great, just switch the legs.
So opposite foot comes in.
And then we'll swim the fingertips behind.
Fingertips towards the body.
Plant the palms from there, loop the shoulders,
lift the chest, long puppy belly here.
Lift your heart and then you can stay there.
If you're kinda tight through the shoulders,
you'll be nice and toasty here.
But if you like, you can lift the hip points forward,
go a little deeper.
Lift the sternum up.
Heart up, chin up, claw through the fingertips
and then slowly release.
Awesome.
Now coming forward once again,
fingertips or forearms come forward.
Breathing deep
and then slowly coming back up.
Awesome.
From here, we'll send the legs out long.
Take a deep breath, reach for the sky.
Bend the knees and exhale, draping belly over the thighs.
Round the head.
Come into your private love cave here and
listen to the sound of your breath.
You can massage your feet a little bit here,
pop your toes.
(exhales)
Settle in.
Then slowly draw your chin to your chest,
roll it up. We'll come onto the feet here.
Prepare for Table so you're gonna bring the palms back,
fingertips towards the body again.
Wrap the shoulder blades around, lift your chest and here we go.
Inhale in, exhale press into the feet,
lift the hips forward, shins forward.
Chin up, chest up, breathing deep.
Try to think about sending your
sits bones towards the backs of your knees.
Don't let the knees come out here.
One more breath.
And then slowly release.
Come to the bum. We'll lift the legs.
We're gonna across one ankle over the other and come all the
way through to all fours.
When you get there, inhale drop the belly,
open the chest.
And exhale, round through the spine.
Close your eyes.
Inhale, stretch it out, drop the belly,

Exhale, from your center, Warrior II.
Strong and steady.
There's a tendency sometimes in Warrior II to reach forward so

Make sure there's a nice clear energetic highway here.
(chuckles) And then right fingertips reach

Right fingertips reach up towards the sky.

Then inhale to look forward and
exhale to make your way to the top.

Inhale to reach for the sky.
Press down through the earth, reach up high and exhale,

Take a deep breath in here.
Observe your breath.
And use your exhale to relax the shoulders down.
Nice.
Now, gently shifting your weight to your left foot.
Inhale, peel the right knee up.
You can also just keep the right big toe on the ground for
stability and work here.
Peel the right knee up, and then from your center,
nice and slow, be brave, we're gonna kick it back.
Look forward.
Keep the sternum lifting to the thumbs.
Just check it out.
Again, big toe can be on the ground the whole time here.
It's meant to challenge you just a bit.
And then slowly bring it back all the way,
standing one-legged Tadasana.
Yes.
And then kick it out, twice more, we got this.
And then bring it back up, nice and slow.
Strengthening through that standing leg.
And then on this third one, we're gonna add airplane arms.
Send it out.
Nice, breathe deep here.
Right inner thigh rotates up towards the sky.
Great, then bring it all the way back up and in,
squeeze and lift.
You're gonna cross the right ankle over
the top of the left thigh.
Wow, amazing.
Stay here, lengthen tailbone down or
begin to bend that standing leg.
You can take some options here.
If a Forward Fold's in your practice,
you can take that here.
And then one day, you might even find a little arm balance here.
Kicking left toes out.
Everyone's like ha, ha, ha, ha.
I laugh in the face of danger.
Ha, ha, ha, ha.
Let's come back up.
One-legged Tadasana.
And we'll plant the right foot down.
Meet all of our homies there, standing.
(laughs) Alright, trust the process.
Here we go.
Shifting to the right foot now.
Be brave and being brave doesn't mean oh,
just do the pose.
Be brave means be willing to stick with it for the greater
good of just self-discovery.
Here we go.
Lifting left knee up.
Be kind.
Inhale.
Exhale, slow and steady.
Kick it out.
Lift your sternum to your thumbs.
Lots of length in the neck here.
Lots of awareness.
Then slowly bringing it back.
Press into your right heel, squeeze.
Upper abdominals and lower belly come to kiss in the center.
Here we go, twice more.
Nice and slow.
Working on balance, building strength.
Coordination.
And then on your last one, let's go airplane arms.
Heart goes forward, leg kicks back.
We send the fingertips back, press your palms into an
imaginary surface here to create a little resistance.
Find that yielding as you press away.
Left inner thigh rotates towards the sky.
Spread the left toes, you got this.
Hug the lower ribs in.
Upper body or front body rising up to meet the back body and
then slowly bring it back in.
Palms come together, one-legged Tadasana.
Awesome work.
Cross the left ankle over the top the right thigh.
You can also use something to
balance on in this sequence, of course.
And then here, maybe bend, that standing knee.
Keep the toes alive. Maybe you come forward.
Maybe you're like,
"You know, one day I might want to try that arm balance.
"So I'm just gonna be really patient and kind to my body here
"and see how it all unfolds."
Then, wherever you are, take a deep breath in.
Use an exhale to contract navel to spine and help you come back
to that standing one-legged Tadasana and release which is
where we'll meet all together in the Mountain Pose.
Here we go, big inhale to reach for the sky.
Second to last day, clap the palms together.
Jai Namaste! Don't be shy. (claps)
And then down you go.
That's the victorious namaste, Forward Fold.
Inhale, halfway lift.
Exhale, soften and bow.
Bend the knees, plant the palms.
Step it back to Plank, just for one breath.
And then exhale, lower to the knees.
Take a quick Child's Pose here, send the hips back.
Inhale, look forward.
Exhale, rounding in.
Bow the head, melt your heart.
Close your eyes here.
Again, blanket yourself in love, appreciation.
And if that's a new concept for you and
it feels weird and sounds cheesy I just want to honor that
because it took me years for that to become just kind of
regular, go-to language.
But Lord, almighty, am I glad that I experimented with that
because it has paid off.
And I hope it does for you too, my friend.
As you're ready, slowly carve a line with
your nose to look forward.
We'll come to rise up.
Flip the palms face up.
So if sitting on the knees is not your thing, I dig.
You can just come to sit in a nice cross-legged position.
Take a deep breath in and
use that exhale to relax your shoulders down.
Okay, good. Take a deep breath in.
Lift a little energy up from the base of the spine and as you
exhale you're gonna take a nice, easy twist to the left.
Keep your shoulders relaxed.
And then bring it back through center.
Nice, easy twist to the right.
You're gonna bring it back to center.
We're gonna come all the way through to a seat.
Send the legs out long, feel the blood flow flush.
You can even see it probably in your toes.
And we'll inhale, reach back up towards the sky.
Bend your knees, and exhale,
drape your belly over the tops of your thighs.
Bow the head in, and then in time you can work to
straighten the legs here.
Great, lift the corners of the mouth, just slightly.
Tuck the chin.
Slowly roll it up.
You're gonna come all the way on to your back.
Take your time getting there.
When you get there, snuggle your shoulder blades underneath your
heart space and then give yourself a great big hug by
hugging the knees all the way up towards your chest.
Then, close your eyes and find stillness.
And see if you can, with your eyes closed,
really imagine your yoga mat just rising up
to meet your back body.
Supporting your spine, this line that literally holds you up.
(exhales)
Then hold on to your right knee,
and you're gonna send your left leg out just to hover.
Inhale in, exhale, peel the nose up towards the knee.
Keep it chill, calm the face.
And then gently release and switch.
Left knee comes in, right leg goes out to hover.
Nice and easy, inhale.
Scoop the tailbone up.
And then exhale, navel draws down
and nose lifts up towards the knee.
Keep the shoulders relaxed.
Breathing deep.
Use an exhale to release.
Bring your right knee up.
You're gonna catch your knees with your palms here.
And now you're gonna allow your lower back to come
up off the mat. Should feel really good.
So you can shimmy your shoulder blades
underneath your heart space.
Let there be a little bridge so your hand could go through
underneath and then palms to the knees.
Just gonna soften through the feet here
and reach the knees forward.
And then once again, tap into that inner smile
and take a deep breath in.
And you might realize here, just become completely absorbed,
delighted in the fact you have now cultivated
a legit at-home yoga practice.
Amazing.
Take a deep breath in.
Uniting breath and body with your true self.
Release the feet to the ground.
You're gonna take the knees to one side, any side.
And then the other.
And then keep rocking back and forth,
back and forth, 'til you extend the legs all the way out.
And then get really comfy here once the legs come out.
Just really sprawl out.
Take up some space.
(exhales)
And then we're gonna let everything go.
So, no matter where you are today,
see if you can bring yourself to stillness and allow yourself
to close your eyes and for just
but a minute of your lifetime,
see if you can release and let go.
The mantra here is allow.
Release and let go and allow, release,
let go requires a certain bravery.
A trust.
A willingness to surrender.
Awesome work today my darling friends.
I'm so very honored to be on this journey with you.
Bring the palms together as you're ready.
Enjoy the rest of your day or evening.
I love you guys so much and tomorrow is our final day,
a very special day indeed.
(laughs) I'm already getting emotional.
I look forward to seeing you then.
Take good care.
Namaste.

How to determine if a job is the right fit for you - Duration: 8:01.
Hey there this is Natalie and
In this video we're gonna talk about
The right fit so the right fit is a general term. We use it, but what exactly does it mean?
So the right fit in a job for example in this video
I'll talk about
three key
Indicators that I use to determine fit plus three tips that you can use to tell if a company is the right fit for you
Or not before you get hired so stay tuned
You
So what does the right fit mean in a job?
So here are three indicators that I use to determine
Fit some will be more important to you than others, and that's okay so the first one is the 80/20 rule
so if you're in the right place you
Like the work that you're doing
Maybe not every minute of every day
But you enjoy at least 80% of the time what you're doing the other 20%
Isn't necessarily your favorite time spent, but you're definitely capable of doing it
and you know it's necessary for and it's part of the job, and you understand it so for example for salespeople I
Often hear that part of their 20% might be filling out their expense reports, which they hate doing
but their 80 percent might be traveling speaking to prospects and closing deals and that 80% is totally worth the
20% of the work that they don't like so that's just an example
To your boss so this one's super important for me might not be for you it depends, so
Ideally you'll have a good relationship with your boss
Along with the support that you need from him or her
For me a solid relationship with my boss has been the key to a good fit
And this has overwritten some of the other factors
So if I had a boss that was moody or unpredictable I would not be a good fit for that role
I'd be stressed out. I'd always have my guard up I'd always be wondering with the mood
She was gonna be in that day. I wouldn't be able to focus on doing my best work some of the other factors
I talked about here might be more or less important it
Just depends on your personality and your work style, so I'm affected a lot by other people's emotions
Maybe you're not so that's just an example to
Number three, so do you have what it takes to do, this job like can you do it?
So are you able to get this job done?
Not that you have to know everything all the time or the first time that's not what I mean all I'm just saying that
Do you have the general skills ability and knowledge? Can you really ask for help in pushing past roadblocks?
Can you talk to your boss ask your co-workers and generally complete tasks without feeling like you want to melt down and cry from feeling?
for whelmed or lost
So if you're feeling like you're able to push through and get things done in a healthy way, then you are good
Now great you understand a bit more about what it means
But how can you tell if company is gonna be a good fit for you?
Before you start so here's a couple of things to look for that will help
The first thing is what questions do they ask in the interview
So when I was younger I'll share a quick story here. I applied to be in the Canadian military
I went in and I took the computerized assessment test
I passed and then I had an in-person interview with an officer. He asked me the following question
Tell me about a time you had to do a mundane task that you didn't enjoy that took up most of your day
How did you handle that?
So that is an example of a question that is telling you something
So at that moment I could tell that I wasn't gonna like it if that's what I was going to be doing most days
When they ask you a question
Keep in mind that there's probably a reason why they're asking and it could relate
Specifically is something on the job
So pay attention to the questions they ask and ask yourself. Why are they asking that?
-
What questions can you ask them to determine fit? So there are some questions that you don't want to ask?
Until you've got the job offer in hand and those questions are like benefits, or discussing salary or stuff like that
But here are some examples of questions that you do want to ask that will help you determine
Whether or not. This is the right place for you
So
This is a good one in the next year. What are the biggest challenges that I would be taking on if I were hired
That answer will tell you a lot
Second question how does your department communicate and how do the other departments communicate with you?
Third how does senior leadership communicate with the organization so the answers to these questions will tell you a lot about their culture
So the third thing how do you feel about the interview experience and about the opportunity after you've interviewed?
What is your gut tell you this is one that I've ignored and I've kicked myself for afterwards
Are there any feelings or red flags that you your sense things pay attention to them and actively look out if something doesn't feel
Right chances are it probably isn't use the questions in the cheat sheet that you can download below
To guide you to find out more about whether or not?
The job is going to be the right bit so if the organization is transparent and answering your questions. That's a great sign
So if you've ever ended up in a bad job before or a bad fit for you
That's probably motivation enough to never want to happen again
So to wrap up this video. I want to leave you with a few keys to simply keep in mind when you're interviewing and
Really be focused on finding the right fit because it's worth it in the end
So here they are
Be mindful just be mindful of whether or not you're the right fit
Don't be so focused on getting the job that you're not paying attention to these things
Watch for signs do your research and ask the questions that you need to ask?
You don't have to accept a job offer until you've gotten a good feel for the culture
And you've got your questions answered so get the information that you need to make the right decision for you
If you found this video valuable and you'd like to learn more as I mentioned
I have a cheat sheet for you, and you can click the link below to download it
This cheat sheet has 35 questions that you can choose from
That'll help you get the job and other candidates won't even think to ask these
So you'll definitely be ahead of the game
Plus you'll easily be able to figure out if you're the right fit for the position by choosing from this list of questions to ask
So simply click on the link below to grab that now and it will be sent right over to your email inbox
Thanks so much for watching, and I will see you on the other side. Bye
Okay
I'm kind of tired today
Just need to get a good sleep

Coronation Street news: You won't believe what's coming to Weatherfield… - Duration: 3:51.
Coronation Street news: You won't believe what's coming to Weatherfield…
Coronation Street cast members Maria Connor (Samia Ghadie) and Nicola Rubinstein (Nicola Thorp) left viewers perplexed in last nights episode when they brandished cardboard Costa cups while having a chat in Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) salon.
None of the characters had ever been seen going into a Costa on the soap, nor had the chain been discussed by the characters.
The confusion caused Coronation Street fans to come up with their own ideas on Twitter.
Since when has there been a Costa Coffee on Coronation Street? Everyone is suddenly walking around with Costa Cups.
Roy is about to go out of business, one tweeted.
Wheres Costa Coffee in Weatherfield then? another asked.
"Wheres Costa Coffee in Weatherfield then?" Twitter user And a third said: Are my eyes deceiving me or did I just see BRANDED Costa coffee cups on Corrie?! This is too far.
Ain't no one gonna believe there's a Costa in Weatherfield. ITV has now announced that it has agreed to partner up wth Costa and Co-op.
The stores are part of the extended Weatherfield set and will be fully branded, with other assets such as posters, bags and cups integrated across the ITV soap.
The new partnership deal will also include digital and brand-licensing aspects for both brands, enabling them to use Coronation Street assets and extend the partnership off-air.
Mark Trinder, Sales Director, ITV said: The expansion of the Coronation Street set has given us a great opportunity to feature branded shop facades as more of Weatherfield is opened up to viewers.
Incorporating product placement on this scale is something we have wanted to do for some time and we're delighted with this exciting opportunity.
Weve worked really closely with the Coronation Street team to make sure we've got a great brand fit for Co-op and Costa Coffee with the nation's favourite soap while still ensuring editorial integrity. But what does this mean for Roys Rolls and the Corner Shop? Well, we dont know yet.
But Co-op and Costa will be coming to the cobbles from Spring 2018.
Coronation Street continues tomorrow night at 7:30pm on ITV.

How to handle "Please restart the game using kcanotify" - Duration: 1:47.
In some circumstance, "Please restart the game using kcanotify" toast may appears.
In this case, you can solve this issue by sortie any map once (not practice) and then return to the port.
I recommend to go to 1-1, since it takes short time to finish the battle.
When the battle ends, immediately return to the port. you can also go to node B/C to gain morale.
After you re-enter the port, the "Please restart~~" toast does not appear, and all functions are working well.

- Hi, Wayne!
- Oh hey, Kevin.
- Good to see who?
You, that's who.
Hey, you catch the big game last night?
- What game?
- The big one, the, oh man, it was,
oh boy, it was one of the biggest games
that I have ever seen, it was so big, it was giant.
It was neck and neck for like 3/4,
and then they just, knocked it right of the court.
And that's when everyone just got off the benches.
It was like, looking for the ball,
and they were like, "Where is this thing?
"Where, I can't find it.
"What's going on?
"Oh!"
Both teams.
- You don't have to pretend to--
- And they found it.
They started passing it back and forth,
back and forth, and it was just like, swish!
Nothing but air, baby!
And the crowd's going wild, 'cause that's when
Johnson steals third.
He just picks it up, and he just runs,
and runs all the way to the end zones and,
go-go-go-go-go-goal!
And that's when they realize, the ball was
in the glove the whole time.
Sports, am I right?
Ugh, so, what'd you do last night?
- I played Candy Land with my family.
- Candy Land?
- Yeah.
It's a board game.
- Board game?
- Yeah.
With Gum Drop Mountains, Candy Castles, Queen Frostine?
I play with my kids all the time.
- You sound fucking insane right now.
Borj games.

House Cleaning Forums to Grow Your Cleaning Business - Duration: 6:46.
House cleaning forums.
Is there a benefit to joining house cleaning forums?
We're going to answer that question today.
Hi, there. I'm Angela Brown and this is Ask a House Cleaner.
This is a show where you get to ask a house cleaning question
and I get to help you find an answer.
Now, today's show is brought to us by housecleaning360.com
It's a 360 view of the perfect home.
So if your business goes and services homes, this is for you.
Now, we have a new feature that we just added and it's snow blowing.
Outside across the country, there's snow everywhere and it's cold outside and people don't want
to get out and shovel their own walks, so there are people, there are students, some
of them are retired, some of them are in between jobs and they've set up these business fan
pages where you can hire them and they can come blow your snow or they can shovel your
snow and clean your walks.
There's one guy that somebody hired for all the rest of the year while there's snow and
they're like, "We want to be the top of your list.
When it snows, we want you to come to our house first," and they put a retainer on
him so that he would be the first.
Awesome, I know, right?
If you offer this service, go set your business up at housecleaning360.com
All right. On to today's session, which is about house cleaning forums.
I got asked this question the other day.
What is the benefit of belonging to house cleaning forums?
Well, I am a fan of house cleaning forums for the fact that I feel that together, we
are better.
A whole bunch of people's ideas are better than one and if somebody's doing something
quicker, faster, more efficient, if they're using a different set of solutions that's
more effective, that does a better job, that's non-toxic, that's greener, that's more environmentally
friendly, teach me.
Teach me.
I don't have all the answers.
Teach me.
I don't know that anyone has all the answers.
There are as many different ways of cleaning houses as there are people and there are people
that have found ways based on their particular situation to make whatever they have work.
I know that there are particular cleaning chemicals that I've heard rave reviews about
but they don't sell them in the United States.
There are rave reviews about cleaning products we sell in the United States that we don't
sell in the UK and so there are different places
where different people have different ideas.
The benefit of forums is you get to hear all the different ideas from the different places
and then instead of claiming that somebody is right or wrong and shaming someone because
they're right or wrong, it's kind of like walking down the aisle of a grocery store.
There's a variety of different brands and a variety of different things.
You can pick and choose which ones suit you best and so as you go through the forum, if
you hear an idea or you hear a strategy or you hear somebody saying, "I would never
do that," you can analyze that and say to yourself, "Would I never do that either
for the same reasons or could I set myself apart by offering a service this house cleaner
refuses to do?"
There are different ways you can figure out how to run your business based on all the
different snippets and pieces of information that you garner.
Forums are a great place for that because there are a lot of people who want to share
their information and so I belong to a Facebook group.
Actually, there are a couple of Facebook groups and every Facebook group has its own specific
niche.
The beauty of that is this.
There's one that's just kind of a hangout group.
We just kind of chat.
We talk about our day.
We nitpick things.
We have great moments.
We share celebrations.
We share sadness.
It's like friends.
Friends hang out.
Then, there's another one that's really all about the business.
It's all about pitching your service.
When someone says, "Hey, what do you do?"
you get to pitch your service back.
I'll put links in the show notes to the different groups and I'll make an explanation of what
they are in case you decide you want to join but one is a pitching group and you get to
pitch your piece of software, your best idea, your best marketing idea.
You get to express how your business operates.
You get to explain about your team.
You get to explain why you're better than the next person.
Every day, we ask you for a different call to action so at the end of your pitch, you
need to bring us back to your website or you need to bring us back to your Facebook page
or you need to give us a business card and ask us to call you.
What that does is it's a training ground where you get to practice your pitch in front
of a house cleaning forum and now, it's actually a little bit wider.
The marketing one is a little bit wider in that we include carpet cleaners and pressure
washers and it's all of our friends from HouseCleaning360.
They come together and we all pitch our different services.
Here's the beauty of it.
As the group grows, we get to know the members of the group a little bit better.
If somebody says, "Hey, do you know anybody in New York that cleans houses?"
I'm like, "I do.
I know 43 people in New York City that I would recommend right now."
I've never worked with them so the recommendation is not based on me hiring them, it's based
on me knowing them and I know what kind of a person they are and I know how thorough
they are and I know their character because we've spent a lot of time together in these
online groups.
"Yes, let me give you the name of this guy and tell him I sent you,"
and so it's a recommendation from a friend because now,
I know this person because we spend a lot of time together.
There are people that, based on our interaction in the group,
I would not recommend at all ever.
You do.
You learn a lot about people and you learn about their characters and that happens in
online forums.
Some of the dearest friends you will ever have in the house cleaning business will come
from online forums.
One of the benefits of this is house cleaning is a solo sport.
You are cleaning all day by yourself.
You are in your own head and maybe you have a podcast that you're listening to but the
beauty of it is when you get home at night and you turn on your computer, you don't even
have to go anywhere.
You can network with a whole bunch of people that know exactly what your day was like and
they can add their two cents.
They can share ideas.
They can help you troubleshoot a problem.
They can help you through a problem with a customer.
Online forms are great especially house cleaning forums that are targeted to our specific niche.
Yes, I'm a huge fan and my recommendation is join one if you haven't already because
the opportunities that they will offer are far beyond where you're going to get on your own.
All righty, that's my two cents for today and we'll talk again soon.
Until we do, leave the world a cleaner place than when you found it.

How you might find your way... - Duration: 20:57.
hello this is Professor Bristol you booth
some of you have asked me how I came to study business or to be in business and
often the question came in the context of you may not yet know what it is you
want to do and that you may be taking this course business 101
or any one of the first courses that you need to take during your first quarter
here at Pierce College and not really knowing exactly where it may fit into
your larger academic story or even what you will do after you leave here at
Pierce College now there are several ways to answer this question one is to
talk with a counselor of course and discuss what your interest might be and
then the counselors having heard many stories and have several tools of this
right their disposal can help identify with you what you might want to go ahead
and try and then another option is to take a course like management 186
professional development which is designed to help you align your skills
your interest and your values into a career where people like yourself with
the same values skills and interest have found to be satisfied of our longer
period of their lifespan and so that's important and that class is offered
typically in the fall now another way for you to find out how you know what
you where in these classes fit or what you might want to go do after your time
here at Pierce College is to talk with others and see how it is they came to
their decision what I will do now is share with you briefly how I came to
mind now my story is going to be different from other people's story
stories but hopefully it'll give you a sense of how people can struggle through
their decisions and how it may take them a
while to find out simply because that's the road they needed to take now if I
had taken certain classes we you know while I was in college to try to
identify what my values and skillsets and an interest on how these elide my
story might have been different but I did not have that at my disposal at the
time I did not know alright I'm a first-generation college student I did
not have this guideposts to help me find my way I basically the first few years
sort of stumbled into what I ultimately found but I'll tell you a little bit
about me because there might be some interesting things there for you that
you might make sense of all right so when I was in high school my teachers
and counselors thought that I would be a lawyer or that I would be very good in
business and I didn't know you know I was in high school and thinking that far
out ahead in my life like what I was going to do for a career and how since
what my family and and and that sort of thing just really wasn't my immediate
concern as a things that were preoccupying my mind at the time however
part of the expectation for me from my family and from myself was that I was
going to go to college so I did and I went to the University of Washington in
Seattle and I took business classes in fact because my counselors actually said
that I had you know the kind of characteristics they that they saw at me
that would seem like it would be a good fit you know I was competitive
I spoke well I was consider smart or that at least I you know I had a way
about negotiating and getting my way and so they you know they felt they felt
that you know either law or business was in keeping for me and anyway I did take
this classes I took econ accounting and other pre major classes
in the business field and I frankly found myself lost I didn't know why I
was taking those classes I mean I knew why I would just take as classes
those were the classes I needed to take to get into you know the upper division
business courses but I sat there in the class not really bought in on studying
business I felt like I needed something to help me kind of make sense of the
world first because a lot of my questions why were around you know or
why are we doing that or why this and why you know I was I'm a white person
and so I struggled quite a bit in those courses and it went on for years
and I finally decided that I needed to stop struggling and to kind of stop
things take a moment to do some inner reflection so what I did was I basically
solved everything I had you know had a backpack it's just a few clothes and
took off for for Europe and backpack that first summer and I did about a
meandering about in Europe and what I found was that there were I saw these
structures that were remnants of history and I was fascinated by the fact that
there were these great nations stood for hundreds of years were now just
buildings around me and I asked myself questions like why did these these great
nations and civilizations fall you know Greece was great and then it wasn't
great and Rome was great and it was no longer great and Franz was great and he
was no longer great and England was great and they were no longer great and
on and on and on Spain of course had its time in history and he was no longer
great and so on and so I began of course China had its I did not go to China but
I started to do you know I started to kind of look across the map and saying
well this is true all around that there were all these great nations and that
they had all fallen and to me that was really fascinating and so I became very
very interested in history when I was done with my trip I came back to the you
dub and I saw counselor and I said you know I think I'd like to start over and
what he told me was you know I was within striking distance of graduating
and why I want to do that and I said well my
dime my time and so I what I was willing to start over again because I knew that
I I had continued on with what I was studying without answering a bit of my
why's that I wasn't really committed to my own schoolwork that's me
that was my story what he gave me was this very very thick
u-dub catalogue at the time and it was hundreds of pages and and it had all the
classes were written in this catalogue and he said just start reading from A
through Z and see which of these classes resonate to you so I started with a you
know I'm not sure exactly what it started with was it art your
anthropology and I began you know the major anthropology or whatever the first
a letter was and I just read through those classes and and charges see well
that's interesting but I don't know if I can see myself doing that then I went to
the next major and so on biology so that's really interesting but I don't
really see myself doing that you know chemistry that's interesting but you
know I can't see myself see taking all these courses that are inside the
chemistry major and so I just went on and then I found this this major called
comparative history of ideas and I read through that and it's called chid for
short and I read through that and I thought that's interesting that's
interesting that's interesting and I could see myself studying those and
being in those classes being fascinated and so thank guy that was letter C
because I'm not quick footed I would have made it to the last you know
zoology or something but I was really excited and then I spoke to someone in
the department to talk to them about what the courses were like and and so I
that's what I did I started over I took those courses and and I started to do
really really well in this class and then I realized that I
wasn't going to get a job with a comparative history ideas which is
basically another way to think about kid is
it's like a philosophy degree right there is there's a philosophy major you
know what kind of jobs can you get there I knew that in order to to be employable
at some point I needed to apply that foundation that understanding of how
civilizations rise and fall basically that's what she did for me was to help
me understand how civilizations or people sort of construct the reality
through its different institutions whether it be you know education or law
or what have you so as human beings we try to make sense of our world through
the different mechanisms that we have in front of us so that we you know make
sense of our life and but I knew that I couldn't get a job through that so I
then proceeded on to get my my first master's degree in public administration
so Master Public Administration is like a master in Business Administration but
it is in a public sector this is in the nonprofit sector and I specialized in
education and Social Policy now let me just stop there and I'll tell you the
rest of my story later and how I got to business but because that's not really
what's important what's the the importance of my story is not that I
ultimately ended up with business because I did I have three master's
degrees and the last one was on Business Administration and that you know I
circled right I began with sort of my counselors who saw something in me that
I may not have seen in myself because you know I was too preoccupied with
other things and they said oh yeah you business and I I didn't see it you know
I just sort of trusted them and I didn't see it and and then I got this you know
kind of a philosophy degree I absolutely loved it it's the most important degree
of all the degrees that I have you know that that serve my intellectual
foundation and then I proceeded on with my life but I did ultimately circle back
to business and the how I circle back into business was this deliberate paying
attention to what mattered to me now for some of you
what matters to you will be clear from day one and that's just your story you
know you'll you know what you want and you've always known what you want and
that you will zero in on what you want there are others from whom they have to
meander about the world clearly and because I did a lot of other travels I
took my backpack different other places where I travelled to discover different
parts of the world and you know and I gathered a lot of information about
myself and what I cared about and ultimately came back home and then you
know organized those experiences in ways that are meaningful to me and it is
circled back to business and education actually that's my story it's that my
own particular Trek is where education and business meet and that's why I'm a
teacher here teaching business alright I was I was also a business owner and I've
done that work and that public and the private sectors but I share that because
for those of you who may not know what it is that you want to do one of the
most important things for you to really do I believe you know and and you have
other people who are wiser than I who can share with you their own thoughts
about how they got to where they are one of the most important things to really
pay attention to is to pay attention the questions you ask yourself all right you
might not even know what those questions are but when they come and if they were
occurring if they're recurring questions then you ought to pay attention to those
and for me one of those recurring questions was how is it that nations
rise and fall you know what did they do what's what what is it that they're
doing that's causing them to lose their greatness to lose their stand in the
world and or just people in general or organizations how is it that you know
companies rise real quickly or even you know slowly and then they fall to be
that was very interesting alright and this is a story of civilizations it's a
story of businesses it's a story relationship
I'm sure you've seen relationships that have you know the ones very very strong
and that something happened and it's not just one thing you know it's several
things over time for me those questions were important and I needed to answer
them and my route to answering them was to go through the particular route that
I did now when I finally come back to business
I had a perspective or a set of perspectives that helped inform the way
I see the business world and the way I see the business world is not strictly
for capital profit I see the world through the lens of sustainability and
has a lot to do because I meandered around the world you know to take a look
at how civilizations fell and if you were to ask me how I would answer that
today because I when I went to Europe I was in my early 20s is that
civilizations fall because of the misuse of their resources the misuse of their
resources and you can define resources in terms of human resources
environmental resources capital resources meaning money or even the
wastage of time if folks mismanage, are not managing those resources in a
sustainable fashion it just cannot survive eventually they will run out of
greatness and will go into decline and that's what happens I know
simplistic to say that and you can and you know for those of you
interested in and diving into history and the other subject matters that cover
the rise and fall of civilizations that's really what happens is that
there is a great misuse of resources or even just the taking advantage of
resources thinking that they're always going to be around and and they're not a
lot of the resources we have on earth are not renewable or if they're
renewable they are not renewable that quickly and they in order to renew them
it takes longer than our human lifespan for them to come around so for example
if you were to go into South America for those of you have gone to like Guatemala
or the different places where they have you know the pyramids of South America
you will find that those nations no longer exist and one of the reasons that
they no longer exist is because they come they just pretty much used up the
natural resources around them and so those cities were abandoned and people
fled to other places and in those cities and then the force grew over those
cities and then but he took a thousand years for nature to renew that
part of the world far longer than a human could possibly see that change and
so my my perspective of business has been informed by that so when you take
these classes you will hear from me the kinds of principles and perspectives
that I have come to apply or come to see through and I still see business through
it you know at the end of it but I the filter is that of sustainability and
because of of my own experience now you might ask yourself how might this relate
to your study now right for your own particular story as you decide what it
is that you're gonna study and what you're gonna do for the rest of your
life I think I can say this now because I am probably older than most of you and
I would not have been able to say this you know a few decades ago but what I
will say to you is that take the course anyway
I mean if it's on your list and you have to take it and you have to check it off
the box you know so that you can move forward into your curriculum sheet or
your degree plan trust that he has a place trust that he has a place in your
overall story even if that place is not clear to you right now
because I think it was Steve Jobs who said in his Stanford address that there
is no way for you to know how things make
sense from the forward-looking you know from here looking forward it only makes
sense from here looking backwards that's how the dots connect right they connect
because you're moving forward having experiences and and you know you and
hopefully you are being true to yourself and so if you ask what does that mean
true to myself well at least for me what it has meant is to pay attention to the
questions that press and then go ahead and try to get them answered somehow I
may not like the answers but at least I am on my way to having those answers
resolved and so we're Business 101 might fit or any other class that you're
taking it may not be apparent until much later in fact a lot of things that I
learned in college way back when didn't really make a whole
lot of sense until much later and I wouldn't have known that I wouldn't have
known that if hadn't taken those classes but what you don't want to do they just
take classes willy-nilly you know because you might end up taking
I don't know 15 more classes than you need to take before you can go out and
be in the world and and and meander about to go discover what you really are
made of what you really care about and ultimately the kind of work meaningful
work that you are going to do in the world maybe in another installation I'll
tell you the rest of my my story around how it is I came to be a business person
and then you know circled here to be a teacher so my dots connect and they only
make sense to me because I have lived them I could not have imagined I could
not have imagined where I would be or I suppose I could have imagined but I
would not have necessarily been sure that that's where I would have ended up
had I thought about you know where I was going to be today when I was in my early
20s so I hope that is helpful to you I think it is also helpful to you
you go and ask other people their stories and how it is they got to where
they are somewhere in there will be pieces of your own story because we're
we're all living the same human experience of course your particular
dots and how they connect will be particular to you but I find that there
are many common threads in humanity and that if you just talk to people and ask
them how it is they came to where they are you'll find that a piece of your
story is embedded in theirs well thank you I wish you luck on your journey and
until you find exactly what you're doing please do your homework and do them
steadfastly so you have no regrets and that eventually eventually this class
will fit in a larger narrative that is called your life
