>Many Christian pastors and teachers these days
are predicting a dark future for America.
And I hate to say that because I don't like to predict darkness.
Our guest today is going to talk about the possible future
for America as it is enunciated in Scripture. He's
Dr. David Reagan of Lamb and Lion Ministries and David Reagan it's
a pleasure to have you here. >>Thank you Gary. It's good to be back. Thank you for inviting me.
>And you know the subject that we have broached is a dark subject
there may be a bit of a bright side,
but God's prophetic voices here in America today are
talking about some pretty drastic changes.
>>Well in the book that I've written called "God's Prophetic Voices to America"
I start off by talking about the enemy. And the enemy
is a philosophy, but really a religion called "humanism".
It's a belief that man is basically good, that man can be perfected, and
that Christianity stands in the way of that.
And they are determined to do everything they possibly can to
stop the influence of Christianity in America and around the world. And this
is a group that is winning the culture war right now.
>And David Reagan's book is called "God's Prophetic Voices
to America" and like all of his books
I find that he's kind of a unique thinker and writer
because his books are linear, that is to say they lead you along
they're very clear, they have bullet points,
(chuckles) there's no mistaking what Dave Reagan is talking about in his book,
but in this particular book you have interviewed a number
of people that are well-known in America. >>Yes.
>And you've sampled their thinking. >>Also some that are already
did I've present the essence of their writings. >Yes. >>For example I start
off in there with a fellow that probably most American Christians are not familiar with today
and that's Peter Marshall. >Mhm. >>who until about 1945 was considered
one of the greatest preachers in America. He's an amazing guy,
25 years old he decides to leave Scotland I believe it was when he was 25
comes to the United States, digs ditches in New York. A friend says 'come down to Georgia,
better jobs.' He goes down there, gets a better job, starts teaching a men's Sunday School
class and the men were so overwhelmed by him they took up
a contribution, put him through seminary. Before he graduated seminary
he was such an eloquent speaker that big churches all over America were
trying to hire him out of seminary. He wouldn't do it. He went to a small church. But then within a few
years he went to the most prestigious church at that time
in America, New York Presbyterian Church in Washington, D.C. The
church of the presidents. And he served there until he died of a heart attack at a very
early age. But he also served as chaplain of the senate. And what I'd start off
with was an incredible sermon of his that was delivered in 1944
in New Orleans. The whole sermon is about
Elijah's confrontation with the prophets of Baal. And over and
over in that sermon he quotes those famous lines you know,
that you've got to make a choice, you've got to make a choice. And he talks about the
choice is that you've got to decide whether you're going
to follow Yahweh or you're going to follow Baal. And
then I listened to a sermon on audio,
I was driving down a highway when I was listening to it. And he gets to the
end of the sermon and he quotes it again but he says this:
"America needs a prophet who will hear the ear of America and say to her
now--who will have the ear and say to her now 'how long will you halt and
stand between two opinions? If the Lord be God follow Him, but if Baal be god follow
him and go to hell" and I nearly drove off the highway. >Wow!
>>I mean this was a
very--what he did in his sermon is he pointed out 'I can see trends int he
future. He said the moment this war is over there's going to be
a plague of materialism. People are going to go on a materialistic binge
and they're going to put God aside. And he said we also have to deal with racial
relations which we're putting off and putting off. And he pointed out the problems of America
and he said 'we need a prophet to call America to repentance'.
And what happened, that was in 1944 and thirty years later
in 1974 David Wilkerson who
was a Pentecostal preacher in New York City at that time
ministering primarily to gangs, he wrote a book
called "The Vision" in which he said 'God has given me a vision' and he began to outline
what he thought was the future of the United States. And he started off by saying
'I see not really a depression coming but a recession
of such magnitude that it will effect the lifestyle of nearly every
wage earner in America and around the world. And that recession came in 2008. >Mhm. >>It's
interesting that he had a lot of predictions about the future of the United States
about our immorality, about the flood of immorality coming through movies
and that sort of thing and he said 'I don't believe all these prophecies--
all these prophecies I saw in "The Vision" are going to be fulfilled during my lifetime.
He said I think I will die before that. And he did, he was killed in an automobile
accident in East Texas. >Hm. >>But there was one place in his book that
I underlined in red and I thought, 'I don't think this is right.'
And what he said was 'I believe we have passed a point of no return.'
That was 1974 that I underlined
it in red and put several question marks after it because I thought surely
we haven't reached that point. But-- >Now there is
a question worth discussing. And you address that question, >>Well
the interesting thing about it is that God began to raise up all these voices right at the same
time. First came Dave Wilkerson, then came Francis Schaeffer who had been
living in Switzerland, >Mhm. >>he was originally from the United States. But he had
a study place in Switzerland. He moved back to the United States in the mid 1970's
and he put out that tremendous film series "How Then Should We Live?" I'm sure you
saw it. >Oh yes. >>And it was all about humanism, the impact of humanism, how
we had to stand against it. >In my younger days his
voice rang out >>Oh, unbelievable! >like no other.
And I was challenged, and I was faced with a question: what's going to happen to
America? Are we going to have a revival and move back towards God or
are we going to continue drifting? We are still asking
the question. >>That's right. But we had more voices. For example in 1979
--1978, I'm sorry. Again, in the
1970's. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the Russian author had been
kicked out of Russia came to live in Vermont. >Yeah. >>Nobody thinks of him as an American prophet but man
was--he was invited to speak at the commencement ceremonies at Harvard
University. He went there in June of 1978.
The place they had to hold it outside there were so many people because he was the
hero. They expected him to get up and denounce communism. He got up and
denounced what was going on in the United States. The humanism,
the emphasis on materialism, the rejection of God. They began to
boo him. By the time he finished he was no longer a hero, he was
a pariah. And what he said over and over again is 'folks, I can
sum up in one sentence why Russia went through what it did under communism:
"Men forgot God". And he said that's exactly what's happening
in the United States of America, you have forgotten God. >We have a g
generation now that has forgotten God. Just the
street marches absolutely blow me away. And I'm sure you've seen these
things. >>Yeah. >Our last election was shocking to me
>>Let's talk about that for a moment. You know when I
look at the future of this country I don't see much
hope for the country and it has to do with that election.
That election we had eight years of the most ungodly
administration in American history and yet Obama left office
with a sixty percent approval rating. His designated
heir Hillary Clinton got three million votes more than
Trump. And the millennials
from 18-28 supported an out-and-out socialist
Bernie Sanders and when he didn't get the nomination they voted overwhelmingly for Hillary.
That's the future of this nation. And something worse than that: The Barna
--the recent Barna poll shows that only
9% of Americans have a Biblical worldview. >Hm. >>And only
17% of Christians, who claim to be Christians have ea
Biblical worldview. >Let me stop you right there. Let's talk about
that. What is a Biblical worldview? >>Yes. >Somebody
is sitting out there right now with that same question. What is this thing called
a Biblical worldview? Because the Bible has been discredited.
in our era. >>That's true. >It's kind of old-fashioned. >>Old fashioned,
doesn't have any relevance anymore, >Yeah. >>that's the thing.
In the last chapter of this book I go into that in dome detail as to
what is a worldview because most people don't know what a worldview
is. But what the Barna association did was to put together I think it was
six questions, they went out and asked, now just not a
small number. They asked thousands and thousands of Americans these
questions. And he questions were things like, 'do the Scriptures
contain errors and contradictions?' >Mhm.
>>'Is there a hell?' 'Did
Jesus Christ sin?' >Yeah. >>Gary, evangelicals
were answering like 25%, 'yes, Jesus sinned'.
People who claim to be evangelicals. >Wow. >>If Jesus sinned we have no
hope. He had to be a sinless sacrifice. But these
are just basic questions. 'Do you believe that God is
on His throne and in control of this world?' and 9%
of Americans had a Biblical worldview and only 17% of
those claim to be Christians. >Hm. >>We've lost the Biblical worldview.
And the average millennial today knows almost nothing about the
Scriptures. Even Christians, I'm talking about Christians.
To them they can't understand what is all this about homosexual marriage? Why should
the churches be upset about that? They don't know the Scriptures.
>You know it strikes me as you're talking, I must be really
old-fashioned because I believe in the divine and full
expression of the Word of God. >>Absolutely, yes! >That is Scripture is god-breathed.
I beleive in the virgin birth of Christ. >>Absolutely.
>I believe in that Christ's
vicarious suffering on the cross is the thing that will enable me to
have eternal life and there's no other way that I can achieve that.
>>Andy you believe Jesus is coming back! >I do! I do, I
>>And you believe He lived a sinless life. >I do. >>You have a Biblical worldview.
(laughter) >But I feel as though I'm sort of out of step with today's
world. >>Well it is. Today, what Christians believe what was the center of
Christianity like 30 or 40 years ago, the fundamental beliefs and all, you hold all those today and
you're considered marginal, you're considered intolerant. >Yeah. >>You're considered
backward. It's really sad. America has
shifted that much and shifted very, very quickly. And that's
what these modern voices are talking about. The second part of
this book is talking about modern voices that are speaking out today.
And there's some--nine of them that I mentioned. People
like Donald Wildmon who most people know head of the American Family Association or was, >Right.
>>he's retired now. Erwin Lutzer who was
the pastor of the Moody Church,
and David Jeremiah, most people know him. >Oh yes. >>Bill Koenig who is a White House
correspondent, Jan Markell, and Albert Mohler. You know Albert
Mohler is an intellectual and most of his stuff
I have great difficulty reading. He is not easy to read, but we need him!
Because he speaks to intellectuals and he is a
man who stands for what the Bible says and so, you know we need him.
And then Franklin Graham who I consider to be on the cutting edge
of the war that's
going on in America today. In fact Gary I would challenge your
people to just go to Google and type in the name 'Franklin Graham'
and see what articles come up. And you will find that about 90% of
them are hate-filled calling him every name in the
book denouncing him saying 'oh he should have been like his father',
and 'he's gone off the deep end'. They hate him with a passion,
when he went out during the last election to all fifty states
and held a prayer conference in every state of the union
I prayed that God would protect his life because he was hated that much. And he
didn't go out campaigning for Trump. In fact he started every
speech with these word, every one of them. He said "I don't believe the Republican Party
is the hope for America. I don't believe the Democratic Party is the hope for America, there's
only one hope for America: Jesus Christ. We need to get on our knees and repent of our sins or we have
no hope whatsoever. I think that what he did there is one of the reasons
that Trump won that miraculous victory is because he went to every state and called
people to pray, not for Trump to win but to repent before the Lord
God. >Absolutely. And he was not cut out of
election. In other words he was included. Franklin Graham actually played a rather large
role. >>Well his father was one of the greatest evangelists that's ever
been around since Paul. But Franklin Graham was
not--is not, that is not his primary calling. His primary calling is a prophetic voice
and he speaks out against the sins of society and calls America
to repentance and speaks out against the sins of society
as his father never did because his father was an evangelist. But he is a true
prophet. And then of course I mentioned Robert Jeffress of First Baptist in Dallas,
who is an expert at sound bytes. They get him
on TV and he knows the power of soundbites. You can't just
go on and on and on. You've gotta say it short and simple if you wanna get on TV and he knows how to do it. >That's tru
Yeah. >>And he's very powerful at that, and he is one who
is warning America of impending judgment. And then finally Jonathan Cahn. Jonathan Cahn's a
very controversial with people. A lot of people have written him off, they say well
he's off and out and all--the one thing that
is, he's right on target about is his message about America. Jonathan Cahn's
message about America is that we have strayed from God's word,
we are in rebellion against God and we had better
repent or we're going to be destroyed. >Yeah, and that brings up a point, and I want to ask you a
question here. The prophets of Israel, the pre-exilic prophets
who going back to Hosea, for example,
before the Assyrian captivity in 722 B.C.,
that wiped out the ten northern tribes, you read the
prophets saying 'to Israel at that time, if you don't shape
up God is going to allow a-- >>Over and over and over. >a foreign nation
to come in and to wipe you off of the face of God's promised land.
>>That's right, true. >Over and over and over the prophets talk about this
and what happened to Israel in 722? They had not changed their
ways and the Assyrians came in and wiped them out. Such a thing
as could never happen, >>God did the same thing with Judah in the South.
Sent prophet after prophet. You know God does not pour out His wrath
without warning and usually what he'll do is send prophetic voices. If they don't pay attention to the
prophetic voices then He sends remedial judgments. And
we've had remedial judgments on this nation calling them to repentance. And if they
keep doubling up their fists and shaking it He'll finally
move them from judgment to destruction. I think two of the saddest verses in the
Bible can be found over in 2 Chronicles
chapter 36 verses 17 and 18. Listen to this, this is speaking
of Judah: "and the Lord the God of their fathers
sent word to them again and again by His messengers because He had compassion on His people
and on his dwelling place. But they continually mocked the messengers of
God, despised His words, scoffed at His prophets until
the wrath of the Lord rose against His people, until there was not
remedy." there is a point at which God will deliver you from judgment to destruction.
Jeremiah preached repentance, God will destroy this
nation if you don't repent, and what did they say over and over, the
temple the temple, the temple. And what were they meaning? God's Shekinah glory
is in our temple. Do you think for one moment God's going to allow somebody to
touch our nation and destroy Jerusalem and destroy our temple? You're crazy,
you're crazy men. Well today prophetic voices are speaking out and calling this
nation to repentance or it's going to be destroyed. People scoff at them and laugh at
them and say 'don't you know that this is God's favorite nation?' It's like
He sits on the throne wrapped in an American flag. Yes God loves
America, He used America mightily to send the gospel all over the world, to send
Bible translations all over the world. He has blessed us like no other
nation in history except Judah. And then we've turned against Him.
And we're shaking our fist at Him and we're violating His word. And I tell you
I just wept on the night that President Obama lit up
the White House with the colors of what I call
'the sexual perversion movement' celebrating sexual perversion. How
that must have --how God must have wept over that. I wept over
that. It just-- >It was in your fact. >>And here's the point,
several pastors in America who I highly respect
have been saying recently 'well we know it's bad, we know it's terrible,
but we still think there's hope for America because of the great revivals in the past.
They point to great revivals in the past and there have been. >Yeah. >>And they
say 'we grew cold in the Lord but there was revival. We grew cold but there was revival.'
But my point is we haven't grown cold in the Lord. We are now
in open rebellion against God shaking our fist at
God. The average American just doesn't stop and think about what rebellion we're in.
We're murdering over a thousand babies a day.
I mean every day in the name of freedom of choice for women. >Yeah.
>>The most sacred thing that you can think of beside the Lord Himself is a baby in
a womb! And we're murdering these babies. And we are
the moral polluters of planet Earth. We are the ones, everywhere I
go in the world I know if I turn on that TV in that hotel room
I'm going to see American movies and American television programs that are blasphemous,
violent, vile, vulgar. We are the moral polluter of planet Earth.
>Those movies are demonic movies now. >>Oh absolutely. >You watch those movies now you're seeing
demons in starring roles. >>Yes.
And we consume more illegal drugs
our nation does, than all the rest of the nations of the world combined.
>>Opiate addictions. >>It's just one thing after
another. And now the latest rage is everybody wants marijuana.
We've got the legalized marijuana, >Right. >>so we're going to be a nation on a high.
>And we still don't know what the social damage is going to
be. It's still experimental. We know it's not going to be good, but I think
it's going to be worse than anybody thinks. >>It's going to be a door into other drugs, is what it's going to be. >Absolut
I want to ask you a question. 2 Timothy 3
"This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come.
And that word 'perilous' which i've done a word study on in the Greek
is 'halipas' and it means 'insane'.
This know also that in the last days insane times shall come for many
shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers,
I'm not going to read the whole list, you've read the list, >>But it's like watching the evening news.
>And I want you to comment on that because it contains the phrase
'last days', which I find
--and when Paul wrote to Timothy he was
talking about the time in which we now live, 2 Timothy 3. >>Yes.
Yes, absolutely. The last days, there's a sense in which
we've been in the last days for the church ever since the church began. But the
Bible often speaks of the last days as the days right at the--leading
up to the time that the Lord Jesus Christ is going to return. And I think that's what
he's talking about here. And he's just talking about society disintegrating
before our very eyes. And Gary you and I both in our
lifetimes have seen this happen in the United States of America. >Yeah, we have. >>We were talking about this before e
program. When we were born nothing was open on Sunday. >That's right. >>Sunday was a sacred
day. You did not schedule anything on Sunday. Today we
got golf tournaments, we've got football
games, we've got everything in the world going on. And Wednesday night was also--you didn't schedule anything
on Wednesday night because churches met on Wednesday night. >That's correct.
>>I could go--you know I recently spoke to a group of teenagers
and I told them about growing up and how we studied the Bible
all the time and went to church on Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night,
vacation Bible school. We had things
closed on Sunday and we had all kinds of things that
expressed the Christian, Judea-Christian values. They thought I'd been dropped in from another planet.
They couldn't believe that America ever existed like that. (Gary chuckles) >You were a fanatic!
(both laugh)
>No you were not a fanatic! >>When I was going through school all the way through the 12th
grade we started every day with a Bible reading and with a prayer! Every
day! >When I graduated from junior high in the ninth grade
the Gideons were at the junior high school and they gave each graduate
student a brand-new
Bible. That's-- >>My literature reader in the 12th
grade in literature were Bible stories with a moral at the
end. Bible--whole book that thick and Bible stories. That's what we
studied in literature in the 12th grade. And today you'd be kicked out the door.
>You would. Well where are going? I mean somebody's
watching right now and saying 'you are such a pessimist. What
-- (laughter) Can't you get a little more optimistic?
I am very optimistic because as a Christian I am looking for my Lord.
On a moment by moment basis and I have
a, just a sense of the reality of His coming for His
people. >>Well I don't consider myself a pessimist I consider myself a realist.
And I think that based upon my study of how God deals with
nations I'm not a person with supernatural knowledge
I just take what the Bible says about how God deals with nations and I
know that He is dealing with this nation the same way. Romans 1 is a good example. Romans
1 says that when a nation begins to rebel against God, God will--and they
refuse to repent, refuse to respond to His prophetic voices
and judgments, He will step back and lower the hedge of protection.
And it says the first thing that will happen when He does that
is that there will be a sexual revolution. And that's happened in the
1060's. Then it says if the nation refuses to repent He steps back a
second time and lowers the hedge of protection and allows evil to multiply. And what
happens? A homosexual plague. Happened in the 70's, 80's and continues.
Then it says that if the nation refuses He steps back the third time
lowers the hedge of protection and delivers the nation to
a depraved mind. And I believe we are at that
third step right now where He is basically, He is pouring out His wrath on this
nation but He's doing it indirectly by simply just lowering the hedge of protection and allowing evil to
multiply. And we're in the depraved mind state. We're in the depraved mind
stage when the city of New York says there's 51 different genders
and if the employees of the city don't recognize those they can be
fired. I mean we're in the depraved stage when we're approving
marriage between people of the same sex. This is depravity!
And so I see the pattern, I see us following
that pattern and I see that we're headed toward destruction. And
but the thing that I want to emphasize is their
tremendous hope for individuals. There may not be much hope for America, but there's tremendous
hope for individuals. That hope is one thing only: Jesus Christ.
And the people watching this program need to get serious about Jesus.
today. What is your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ? Do you know Him
as your Lord and Savior? Are you simply a cultural Christian,
or a carnal Christian? Folks the problem is most Christians in America today are what
I would call 'carnal Christians' or they are cultural Christians. The carnal
Christian walks with one foot in the church, one foot in the world. He doesn't know which way really to
go. The cultural Christian is born into a Christian family, raised in the church. But he has
no relationship with Jesus Christ. He
has no relationship whatsoever. He is never reading the Bible, he is never praying, he's just going
through the motions. And our churches are full of this kind of people and we need to get
serious about the Lord because we're living on borrowed time. >And now is the time
to come to Christ. You know the Holy Spirit is
still here active on planet Earth. >>Yes. Absolutely.
>But when the church departs the Spirit is going to be withdrawn and you won't even believe
what the world will be like. My point is
you don't know when it's going to happen. It could happen this afternoon,
tomorrow, and suddenly you'll be plunged into a very very dark
world indeed. Today
you still have the opportunity to pray to the Lord
and ask to receive the blessing of eternal life
through Christ's finished work on the cross. >>And your comments remind
me of 2 Peter 3:9, "The Lord is not slow about His
promise as some count slowness,"--the promise for the return of Jesus. >Yeah.
>>"But is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish,
but all should come to repentance". >Amen. Dr. David
Reagan, I'm going ot talk talk to you now about his books. We have them
right here in our online bookstore, Prophecy Watchers. We've

Alone at House a Short Scary DISTURBING story - Duration: 4:36.
I was at my house reading a book in pajamas and an old t-shirt with loose
elastic parents were out to attend a party they said they'll be back by
12:00 and it was around 11:00 so I called them they said they will be late
and I can go to sleep if I want I checked some of the unread messages and
then walked to my bedroom to sleep on reaching I realized I had forgot to
switch off the lights so I went down and switched off the lights turned back to
go up and the TV turned on automatically I thought I pressed its button while
switching off the lights so I turned it off and started walking back to my
bedroom I got a message from mom requesting me to check on our pet dog I went to the
main door opened it it was dark outside turned on the backyard light and went to
the doghouse with a torch in my hand just in case the light goes off my dog
wasn't there I called out loud for him searched a bit but couldn't find him I
was at the back of my house and through the kitchen window I saw something
moving I thought my dog had entered the house so I entered it through the
kitchen door I could hear some current noises as if 2 wires had touched each
other I followed the noise but before I could
trace it a small bursting sound made all the
lights of my house turn off I turned on the torch in my hand but couldn't I
thought its batteries had stopped working so I walked to the main room in
dark picked up the TV remote and took off the batteries in it to put it in the
torch then suddenly the TV turned on I
got scared so I ran to the kitchen where I realized that the lights were back but
how did the TV turn on when I had ensured that it was off I walked to the
same room the TV was still on
the button was on as well I realized that the button
I switched off was the wrong one so I switched off the TV again
I was already afraid so I decided to do the dog search next morning I just
turned off the kitchen lights and went straight to sleep my mom called me and
she asked me about our dog I replied that I didn't find him she asked me to
have another look I peeped through the bedroom window but couldn't find him I
decided just to sleep and then the message came which was by my mom
informing that they had left I heard barking noises from my main room so I
felt relieved that the dog was at house
the dog was continuously barking at something so I went down to check turned
on the main room lights and I tried to find my dog but couldn't I thought the sound
must be from outside so I turned back and when I was about to switch off the
lights I realized that if I switched off the wrong button the previous time then
how did the TV turn on
parents we're home and the dogs somehow turned up on the doorstep
years have passed but I still can't forget about the night especially about
the dog who died in the next 48 hours

Never Use This Hairproduct! - Men's Hairstyle Pomades Review - Duration: 9:39.
Rasmus: Hello guys, I'm Rasmus and you're watching Slickhaar TV too. I'm here with Leo and today we're going to look at some pomades and
one Gel
Leo: Yes, and we're going to talk about the history of pomades
and we're gonna talk about everything about pomades. Rasmus: I´m looking forward for that because I know you did some nice research and
It's a pretty good story, so keep hanging on and we'll do also a few hairstyles, so it's gonna be good
Leo: Welcome guys welcome to my channel. No, no? it's still Rasmus and Emil?
Welcome guys to Slikhaar, tips, friends? let's call it friends. Today we are gonna talk about POMADES
POMADAS in Spanish POMADES in English, that's a big topic
There's a lot of people that doesn't know the difference between a wax. a pomade, clay, a cream and a gel...
GELS
Today we're gonna talk about POMADES why it's important to know the difference because you have to know what you're putting on your hair
it's very, very important
POMADES
Actually the first POMADES came out at the end of 18th century the word comes from
Pomum that means fruit in Latin the first POMADES were made of animal fat and fruits
And they were use in everything also for the hair
and they were only used by the royalty and bourgeoisie. There at the beginning of the 20th century
we got some POMADES that the movie stars of that time started to use. Oh my God. They were like mute movies
And then in the 50s with the rock & roll
We got all the POMADES that were used for that classic hairstyle: pompadours
Flat top. I don't know how to do the flattop and duck tails
Those are the classic hairstyles from the 50s rockabilly you know rockabilly style
But those POMADES were oil based
but today we got a revolution
in the market: the water-based POMADES
the problem that we have with oil-based pomades is that they are very, very, very harsh and very hard for your hair
because they use in gredients based on petroleum as vaseline. There's some barbers
that are using it, and it's okay because you can get very classic look from the 50s
And it's very it's very hard for your hair to use oil-based POMADES, but today. We have a revolution
Nowadays we have two types of POMADES: oil-based pomades and water-based pomades. the water-based pomades
They're not so hard with your hair, and it's so easy to take them off from your hair
And that's something very important because as you must know you shouldn't wash your hair every day
But if you live in a big city as London, Delhi
Mexico City, Santiago
Leo: What's that? Arnau: Barcelona. Leo: I said big city. If you live in a big city
you need to wash your hair every day because you may be feeling that it's very greasy because you know the
pollution, the weather conditions make you feel the hair is very greasy
So you probably need to wash your hair every day. But remember when you wash your hair! You also have to use a conditioner
Did you ask me? What kind of conditioner? wow!
What a good question!
But first if you need to wash your hair every day, you should
definitely use a shampoo, a quality shampoo as DETOXX from By Vilain. I can just offer you guys the best
conditioner in the market the only one
By Vilain Skyline Cooling Conditioner. This is you know this is like food for your hair. Today in the market
there's a lot of different POMADES, for example you have this one
*whispers (smells very bad)
Arnau: what´s that Leo? Leo:oh, what a good question! This is By Vilian POWERMADE
It's a water-based POMADE, it is the favourite pomade of the house. I want to put on my head different kind of POMADES
Pomades is also like something people start to use after the gels. You know what gels are?
I can´t use gels
but I have to tell you I use to use them when I was a teenage
but I´m just going to show you. I'm just gonna wash my hair
do you like how I look without anything on my hair? okay? Now. I'm gonna use a gel
It is pink! now, I'm gonna use this... so many years -(smelling)- so, oh!
It smells to alcohol. I - I smell alcohol
Everywhere! and that's exactly the problem with these products it has so much alcohol in it. That is really ruining you hair
Really guys you shouldn't buy cheap stuff, it´s your hair, you know
feels strange
My hair is hard and
I don't know if I can...can I reestyle it? what?
I don't know. This is not good for my hair.
I can tell you that. I can smell the alcohol in it, and it gets very dry it's very hard for your hair.
gels... well now I'm gonna
I'm gonna go and shower my hair with DETOXX because I just want the gel to go off from my hair
I normally do like this
But it's wrong. According to Emil you have to do like this
And it's actually better for your hair
We're gonna try this very popular product. This is a water-based Pomade
You know? it looks a lot like
the gel from before. So it's another POMADE, water-based pomade. And we're gonna try it
I can feel it like it's drying on my hair...and just
it´s getting a little hard, but I can still
Go with my fingers through my hair, but
(whispering) what it´s this?
My God
Why are you laughing?
I´m gonna take a look
Don't know it's says that It's a super hold and
It's water-based pomade, okay
I will never never ever tell you to use a gel. You should´t use a gel because it's very bad for your hair
Something's wrong, but you know there's a lot of products in the market and
Maybe this is just not the one for me, but now, now we're gonna use By Vilain POWERMADE
This is the By Vilain pomade water-based. You can see the color. It's very smooth as all the pomades
Look at this
smells good
Now we're trying
By Vilian Powermade
you should always do like this, always warm the product specially when we are talking about a wax or a
Clay, you should always do like this
with all products... and now I'm gonna work out the product on my hair
Feel much better
This is actually an improve, can you see the difference?
It smells good. It's very easy to put it in my hair. It says that it's slight hold
I actually feel that I can rearrange or restyle my hair. Shall we test the hold?
The product doesn't feel sticky on my hand. Smells good, feels good, looks good. Oh my god. It's good
you can use Powermade to find the
style that you want, but I'm gonna use this to finish... do you know this product?
Don't look at it! write in the comments if you know the name of this product
Oh, this is a wax, and you should always, always
warm it up
Then it's like you have nothing on your hand, then you work
the product on your hair, give it some volume there
Thank you guys for tuning in in this episode of Slikhaar TV. I really hope that you like it
Let us know down in the comments what you think about it
We're trying new stuff, and we just need your feedback this was POMADES
and why you should´nt use gels

Why being politically correct is using free speech well | Martin Amis - Duration: 3:26.
I think it's indivisible, freedom of speech: I mean, either you've got it or you haven't.
And every diminution of freedom of speech diminishes everyone and lessens the currency
of freedom of speech.
But I feel nothing but unease when it's done lightly.
It has to be earned.
The controversial statement has to be earned.
It can't just be tossed off.
You have to be able to back it up.
So I would urge civilized standards of moderation on both sides.
It has to be understood that freedom of speech isn't just a sort of decadent frippery that
we gather around us like all our other comforts and privileges.
Democracy can't work without freedom of speech.
It's an absolute cornerstone of democracy.
So we have to be very responsible about this freedom but there's no giving it up or modifying
it, even.
I would say it's an offshoot of what's solidified under political correctness, and
I'm a fan of political correctness.
No one ever says, 'Oh, I'm very politically correct,' but, in fact, it's good that we
are—not the outer fringe PC, but raising of the standards about what can be said, and
exclusion of things you could have said and got away with it 10 or 20 years ago and now
seems discordant.
And who wants to go back to being opposed to gay marriage?
The ease with which that became the orthodoxy was, I thought, tremendously encouraging,
and the idea that Donald Trump has cast off these "shackles" and we can go back to
being brutes again is a terrible prospect.
PC has been an agent for certain sort of evolutionary acceleration towards progressive ideas, and
I think that's been very good.
I mean, when I look back at my very early fiction of 40-odd years ago I'm shocked
and made uneasy by some of the liberties I took that I certainly wouldn't take now.
It doesn't interfere with the freedom of writers, political correctness—it gives
you challenges every now and then, you have to sort of work around it a bit.
But I never resent that, and I think it's self-improvement on a general scale that we've
all responded to.

Greetings everyone
Welcome to a new episode of "The Nerds' Time" with me your host, Fatimah Aljawi
If this is the first episode watching me, don't forget to hit that red button to subscribe to the channel!
and the notification bell to get notified by my weekly episodes
Yes, weekly episodes
As promised the previous episode,
in this episode, we will finish up by talking about the medical, routine and psychological steps
For those who are graduating and going back home
" The Arabic version of Coming Home song "
Let's get started
speaking about the routine, if you had a specific routine that you are used to it,
and from this moment, start looking for alternatives
For ex, if you are the type who wakes up at 4 in the morning for the gym
start looking up for a gym that opens this early where you are planing to move
Or, you prep yourself to change such a habit
another ex, if you had a specific type of coffee that only available where you go to school
start looking for an alternative or find someone who can deliver it for you
Honestly, speaking of myself, I cannot go without such a thing
Most important thing in life
the same thing applies to the services you need
meaning, if you need a high speed WiFi,
if you are the type who makes YouTube vid
and download vid
I am just giving some hints for my sake
You do not wanna me to retire from Youtube this early , JK
Medically speaking, collect all medical reports
for any doctor you have visited that you think it is important to have
for ex, X-rays, analysis , anything that matters
Dental related papers are highly recommended to collect or have a copy of
Let them know ahead so they either email you the reports or mail them to you
and those who has chronic conditions as well
Also, do not forget about prescriptions and so on
psychologically,
This could be the hardest that you deal with
but you should fight for it
The families who do not have an accommodation yet,
start looking for a place ASAP, or ask someone to start looking for one
The reason is, by the time you find a place, you will start settling down and feel more comfortable
and you will get yourself busy prepping the place and so on
Singles
Talk to your family/parents, if moving back to them
"Hi, I know that my room turned to something else"
"like the guests room or something"
Would be lovely to find a new bedroom set, new mattress, new stuff
Treat us Graduates just like newlywed
" WHAT"
The most important to take from this episode and the previous one
that you prep yourself psychologically by yourself
meaning, have a talk with yourself
anticipate what's going to happen when you are back there like
the new environment, the culture shock, the people you haven't seen for ages
anyways
if you got a specific routine, it is cool to tell your family about
and let them know what you wanna
It could be something like
" Hey, I nap the afternoon so I would like it to be quiet that time, do not disturb, do not turn off the AC"
Just saying
or something like " I have my own hour that time" , " I need some time "
I find these stuff important coz..... you gonna know why
This sums up the end of our episode for this week
Smart people, go and watch the previous episode as well
and never wait to the eleventh hour before your, graduation, flight or trip back
and do the list, coz YOU WILL REGRET IT
who took notes since the previous episode and who did not?
Lazy ones who did not
I included in the description box a PDF that has a list of whatever I spoke about since last episode
Things that you gotta do before graduation
TWO Months AHEAD
if you liked the episode, do not forget to give it a thumb up
and hit the sub button and
Don't forget to share this episode with anyone who's about to graduate.
coz they might send you some blessings since they will not regret
See you in the next episode, peace.

Tvoja stvar #4: Urša Premik - a photographer - Duration: 8:44.
My name is Urša Premik, I live and work in Ljubljana.
I am 24 years old and I'm a photographer.
In the beginning, the theme of the photos was related to the childhood anecdotes.
As a little girl, I went everywhere with a camera.
I shoot everything and everywhere, especially on the family parties.
And in the elementary school, I knew that I will one day become a professional photographer.
Because of that, I try to find a high school that fits for me.
I applied and finish media school.
Now I am a student of photography in Ljubljana.
And that's the story of how I become a photographer.
I need to say that my parents supported me at everything.
Even when I told them that I want to become a photographer, they gave me a support.
Yes, they were a little bit concerned how I will survive as a photographer.
But also the most important thing for them was that I am happy and that I fulfill my dreams.
In Slovenia is possible to live from a photography.
The truth is if you want to become a professional photographer you need to sacrifice a lot.
You need to adjust yourself and to be patient.
The real success doesn't come thru the night you need to build it slowly.
Yes, it's hard.
Yes, I am convinced that you can live from as a photographer but you need to work hard also.
I do not have idols.
As I am related to the photography I couldn't tell who can it be.
If I will look at somebody it will be someone who knows me, to whom I am related.
And because of that is hard to say that I follow someone or that I have idols.
I am interested in people, they inspired me with their carachter, presence, karma.
The most important thing for me is to know who is that person who I am shooting.
Who is that person?
Is it easy to read them?
I wanted to have a special connection with a person who I am shooting.
I wanted to know him, I don't want to just come and make the shooting and go away.
The person who I have in front of me I want to use on a way to listen to him and know them.
Yes, I am interested to know people and for me, photo is not interesting without them.
I do not care about the pose and how they are standing.
It doesn't have any sens.
I am waiting that they move and then I am trying to catch the right moment and shoot.
So I am working on catching those true moments.
I don't know how to puts people in front of me.
And that's my way of working.
In the end, I want that the person to who I am shooting is satisfied.
The final photo needs to be fulfilled with trust and pleasure of person to who I shot.
That story it needs to have sens because if both sides aren't happy the job is not done.
I am not interested in an outside look, beauty.
I always love their character and inner beauty.
Very often on the shooting, I have a fashion model and there I always notice some facial expression that every person have.
As a different proportion of a cheek.
That special charm that every person have it.
I think that beauty is overestimated.
Italian Vogue has a platform for the young photographers, they can send their work.
From Monday till Wednesday, you can apply two photos every day.
I said to myself that I will try it and maybe they will publish my photos of grandmother.
It's totally different beauty than they usually show.
Without any expectancy, I send the photos and they published it.
They show to others that they do not look just a classical beauty but that they also appreciate another view of beauty.
I started to shoot my grandmother 4 years ago.
The idea was that the hardest photo shooting is at home.
Everything you know and you don't have any inspiration.
I said to myself that I should tray, just by curiosity.
The approach was documentary, I followed her everywhere every day.
Grandmother wasn't been thrilled about my idea.
In the end, she cooperated.
She handles it in a supportive way.
Because she is my friend and photo connected us much more.
At the end of a week when I finished all my job obligations for me is a pleasure to go home and shoot her.
It is my ways to relax.
My grandfather was an analog photographer but he never shoots my grandmother.
So I had the honor to open her the photo world.
I am working with the analog and digital camera.
If I work for the commercial purpose I shoot with a digital camera.
Because there is lack of time and money.
All the private projects I am shooting with an analog camera.
In that way, I need to take a minute and think about the photo that I will take.
At analog photo, you get something that is in my opinion impossible to get with the digital camera.
My opinion is that critics are great because that is the only way that you can grove.
And they needed to exist because without them is no good.
We are young and every day we are learning and trying to make progress.
And you need a good, constructive christics.
That is the best thing that someone can give you.
And if they give you critics and you see that it stand up then you can set right the mistake you made.
And, yes, I think that critics are good.
My motto is that you need to work with a heart.
You need to be happy.
And the results will come.
But first, you need to be happy and satisfied with a job you are having.
That's my biggest motto.

You will never regret - Presidency promises as Nigeria marks third year of voting for Buhari - Duration: 2:00.
Wednesday, March 28, 2018 marks the third year that Nigerians voted for Muhammadu Buhari in 2015 to lead the country at a time the citizens had become impatient and desperately needed to see a change in the system.
Buhari of the All Progressives Congress (APC) defeated the sitting president and candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) thus ending the 16 year rule of the political organisation that prided itself as the biggest in Africa then.
Three years down the line, the presidency, while celebrating this feat achieved by Nigerians, has said the people of the country will not regret their collective decision to vote for the Buhari.
It also expresses optimism that the president would be re-elected if he decides to run for another constitutionally-guaranteed term of four years in 2019. Meanwhile, various politicians and organisations have variously called on the president to seek another term in office.
we earlier reported that a former governor of Abia state, Orji Kalu, recently disclosed that the All Progressives Congress (APC) will force President Muhammadu Buhari re-contest election in 2019.
It was reported that Kalu said President Buhari will run for re-election going to run and if he says he is not running the member of the APC will force him to run.
According to him, President Buhari will run for re-election, not a must but he is going to run. He has to run (and if he says he is not running), we will force him to run.''.

2 Strange Tricks To Trim Dog Nails - Duration: 3:29.
- If you feel like clipping
your dog's toenails is a major chore,
then I have a couple great household hacks for you.
It's gonna include this bag of oranges and your cell phone.
I'm Ken Steepe, and welcome back to McCann Dogs.

and you consider your dog a member of the family,
then hit that subscribe button.
We publish new videos every single week
to help you spend some quality time
with your four-legged family member.
Now I need to give some credit where credit is due here.
One of our instructors sort of put me on
to this idea with the oranges,
and I really appreciate those sort of tips.
And I'm sure you guys will appreciate them as well.
So this first tip is great for you guys
who have a dog who has hairy toes.
Sometimes it can be really challenging
if you have a dog that has excessively hairy toes
trying to clip around that hair.
You're constantly trying to move it around
and see where the toenail is,
and see where the quick of your dog's nail is.
This first tip is for you.
So I want you to take that bag of oranges that you've got,
and dump all of the oranges out.
We're actually just gonna use the bag
for this household hack.
We're gonna use the little holes in the bag
to go around Slam's nails,
and it's gonna actually hold the fur on his toes back
just enough that we can really see the nails really well.
So I'm actually gonna bunch this bag up a little bit,
and you could these tiny little holes are perfect.
I'm gonna take Slam's foot,
and I'm just gonna slip his toenails through.
Oh, you can see actually Slam's,
Slam needs a bit of a toenail clipping.
But at this point, I wouldn't even worry
about getting all of the toenails through,
but just keep them separated enough.
And you could see that that bag
holds the fur back really well,
and we could very clearly see
that Slam is due for a clipping.
Now that we've got Slam's toenails exposed,
another great household hack is your cell phone.
Now every cell phone seems to have
a flashlight on it nowadays,
so we're gonna turn on that flashlight.
I'm gonna set it on the ground
with the flashlight facing up.
Now all I need to do is hold Slam's toes, toenails,
over top of that light.
And I can very clearly see where Slam's quick is,
and that way, I can avoid cutting it.
Now look at how easy it is to see the quick
in Slam's nail there, and it makes it a lot easier
to make sure that we're not clipping that quick.
(clippers click)
And you know the darker spot on his toenail
will be where the quick is,
and we're gonna try to avoid that as we're clipping.
Slam isn't really the kind of dog
who loves having his toenails clipped,
so anything we can do to make this experience
just a little bit easier is absolutely worth it.
You see the nail really highlights that nail,
or the light really highlights that nail.
Now if you have the kind of dog
who just doesn't like having their feet handled,
we've published a video not that long ago,
and I'll link it in a card above,
that'll make your dog a little bit more comfortable
with having their feet or any really body part handled.
If you have a dog who has furry toes
or if you have a friend who has a dog with hairy feet,
this hack, this orange bag hack, is perfect for you guys.
And if you have a dog with darker nails,
be sure to use that cell phone light trick.
It's really nice to be able to visualize the quick,
so that you don't end up cutting it
when you're trimming their nails.
Now if this is your first time on the channel
and you consider your dog a member of the family,
make sure you hit that subscribe button.
We publish new videos every single week
to help you spend some quality time
with your four-legged family member.
See that playlist beside me?
That's actually a playlist of nail-trimming videos
that we've published earlier,
and they may make your nail-trimming experience
with your dog just a little bit easier.
On that note, I'm Ken, this is Grand Slam.
Happy training.
