Australia is you know has

Striven over the last decade to build a very close relationship with China

but we've always done it against the background of being realistic about the nature of

Political society in that country we have no illusions that China remains

North or eternity in the country, but we always look at these things from a

practical standpoint we have no false illusions about the nature of

China's

Society I think you have to be very pragmatic with the Chinese. You've got to understand that they can be very clumsy diplomatically

They've got this silly habit

If they don't want you to see somebody they say so which means that you must see them

I mean heavens above you don't allow you don't only have Chinese to any government whether it's China or Britain or America

To tell us who we should give give visas to when you said

anybody is welcome to come and live in Australia as long as you can live by our rule and

If you feel you need to change them, you can just go back to where you came from now

this very common-sense approach was very widely publicized here as well and

What how do you feel in terms of Australian policy? This was then integrated?

The statement I made over a number of years really based on a simple proposition

And that is that Australia has been

very open

To people from all around the world when you come to Australia my philosophy was you become an Australian

I mean the Americans call at the melting pot

where you come from everywhere, and you will become part of

Part of the community now

That expect was not used when I don't know what expression you use any expression you like to describe it

But my mic my gear was simply this

that that will take people from anywhere providing they meet the criteria and we weight discriminate on the grounds of

Nationality or ethnicity or race or religion? But

We'll decide who comes and and we'll also decide

that

Determined that they live according to Australian law. I mean, I think this idea that you're gonna have a

Federation of cultures inside one country is not workable. He went through this

stage of

Apologizing. The West has got as apologized too much for its cultural and its values and what it really believes in my I think

That's damaging

And that relationship of course

Will be affected by the various leaders of those two countries now

I know it is fashionable and I understand the reasons for it

For people to be highly critical of the early months of the Trump presidency

and can I say in the context of

the relationship between

the United States and China

Which is so very important and I'll return to some of the reasons why it is important in a moment say in

relation to that bilateral

interaction

That I believe the manner in which the new administration has handled that relationship not least

the toning down of the more restrictive trade

pronouncements that were made by the president during his campaign and

also the manner in which I believe that he has engaged President Xi Jingping and

I think a highly satisfactory bilateral meeting that took place in the United States. I

believe that

The President of the United States has injected

some new elements into that bilateral relationship and everybody is aware of

China's enormous economic growth

Although it has to be remembered that on a per capita GDP

Basis even by the year

2030 China will only be half as wealthy as the United States and I

remember that

way back in

1995

When I was what you might call a newly rement opposition leader

I

Observed in a speech to Asia link

That amongst the many areas of concern

in our region

Were the South China Seas and the nuclear pretensions of North Korea?

now they are two things that haven't changed perhaps

indeed they've intensified

as the years have gone by

dangerous combination of all in a leader

A leader who?

events is a great deal of evil and

also a leader who demonstrates an

extraordinary amount of

Irresponsibility have to keep a sense of proportion

the levels of Chinese investment in Australia are nowhere near as popular legend has it and

We're indebted to the Department of Foreign Affairs some months ago of publishing configures that really did

Underline this point also worth observing on a more personal level

That in 1995 when I first spoke to you

Italian was the most widely spoken

foreign language in Australia, it is now Chinese and the people-to-people links between

Australia and China

are there for everyone to see and

Indeed are quite remarkable

But we would be very foolish if we took the success of the relationship for granted there are some fraying edges

there is obviously

on the part of the Chinese on occasion some

inability to understand

That there is an openness and a robustness and a free speech element of our society

which of course is not to be found in China and we have to

gently and appropriately remind the Chinese government of that and

the treatment of the of some Taiwanese

participants in a conference in Western, Australia

To which our foreign minister properly drew attention a short while ago is an example of that

We have to bear in mind that as China grows in power

Irrespective of her political system she must assume more and more responsibility

3 Ways To Be Unforgettable To The Girl You Like - Duration: 9:04.

What's going on, Tripp Kramer here from www.trippadvice.com. Next to me, my new

friend Adam Lyons. Adam has been voted the #1 dating coach in the world

and he came to Chicago and I was like dude we got to make some videos together.

I'm glad you're here bro. Thanks I'm glad I'm excited to do. This gonna be great.

This is Tripp Advice and here I am. What I love about you so much is you

give really good practical tips. You're gonna see in just a second. He gives

really good advice. Stuff that you can take away and use right now.

Not just a bunch of theory but good stuff. Today we're talking about the 3 ways

to be unforgettable to the girl that you like. We were talking about this before

and we realized there's about 3 different situations. The most popular

situations in which you are with a girl. First you have the cold approach.

When you meet a girl at a bar, on the street somewhere.

You have no idea who she is and you just go up and talk to her. Then you have the

situation where you already know the girl but you're in the friend zone.

You're in the friend zone with her so it's this vague like what's

happening with us and then there is your inner relationship. We're gonna go

over how to be unforgettable in all these three popular situations.

Let's talk about one of the most popular situations

doing a cold approach where you've never met the girl in your life and you go

coaching and you teach guys and you help them approach girls. How do you be

unforgettable in this moment where you've never met her before?

I've spent a lot of time in the field. I've been doing this since 2006

out almost every weekend helping guys go out there and

do this and for us you have to have practical advice and it's a real easy

concept like stand out from everybody else. But how do you do it?

So I always give people the theory of you want to start the conversation about

half an hour after when you first meet her and just throw away the first half

an hour so the whole hi, who are you, what do you do for a living, where are you from?

Get rid of all that. Don't worry about it. Start the conversation as

if you've already been talking for half an hour. It's all about where you are.

If I was at a train station with somebody I've been talking to for an

hour I would start a conversation something like "you know what bugs

me about trains? How they say they're

gonna be here at certain time and they're always delayed. Why do they do that?

Why don't we just have approximations when the trains are gonna arrive?"

And what happens is you're dragging her into this conversation at

this midway point and so she doesn't feel

like she can reject you because you're acting as if you've already been

talking to her. It's a normal conversation the kind of conversation

she would typically have and before she knows it, she eases into communicating

with you and then in the future she looks back at this point, can't remember

how you started talking because she's never remember about some conversation

about a train and she just feels like she's known you forever and that's the

kind of girl that's never gonna forget you. What I like about that is every

other guy who is forgettable is having the same conversations over and over.

What do you do for a living and where do you live and have you been here before?

Oh what kind of drink is that? Let's get past all that boring

stuff and right into just fun, random, weird conversations. That's cool. I know

lots of women who when guys approach them, if they ask a question that the

girls had to answer to another guy within the last couple of weeks, it ends

the interaction instantly. In fact Eve yeah literally if you say to her

what country are you from, it ends the conversation. She's like we're done here

and she'll walk away and that's it. It's done because she's like you're not

original, you're giving me the same conversation I've had before and I'm over it.

This is the same thing if you see a girl who's got maybe a funky haircut or

a tattoo. You know already (or if you don't know now you know) a lot of guys

have already commented on this. So she has to tell the story over and over again.

And of course that's boring and boring equals forgettable.

One situation that you might be in is the friendzone, very common.

How to be unforgettable to a girl who it's vague, maybe she likes you, maybe she

doesn't. You guys have not hooked up at all, haven't even kissed or maybe you're

just boom slammed in the friendzone. I think this is the common situation.

This is the one that there's so many people deal with and the key is to

be unforgettable you kind of need her to forget about you. You need to

get out of the friendzone and one of the fastest ways out the friendzone is

disappear for a while. I tell a lot of people that are in this situation is how

how long can you go on vacation for? Can you get away for six weeks, eight weeks?

Can you go on a three month sabbatical from work or maybe even take your work

with you for a while? What happens here is she loses contact with you as a

friend but thanks to the wonder of social media, she gets to see all the

amazing adventures you go on and please go on

lots of adventures. Re-find yourself, go away and evolve as a person.

What this does is it lets us see a new side of you and now when you come back you

get to re-meet her and start the entire process as if you didn't know her or

more importantly she doesn't know you but she actually does so you've got all

the familiarity out of the way, you already know each other, you have a

history and now you're this cool guy who had these great experiences, been

with other women. You've come back and she'll say, you'll know you've done

it right because she's like wow you're really different and the minute you get

that you know that this girl is gonna be very open to dating you. I like that

it's like you got to basically present yourself in a whole new light because

just you being there sticking around for so long you're still that same person.

It's got to be kind of like it's gotta be harsh yeah like you got to just go

away so she can at this point kind of forget about you but forget about the

old you and bring in this new person and this is what makes you unforgettable

because no one else would have done that no other guy in her life would have

transformed in this way and that's what they want they're like if you're in the

friend zone with somebody they were attracted to you at some point because

girls don't really want to be friends with people they're not attracted to on

some level but you missed your window there was like a window at some point

where she may have dated you and for whatever reason you missed that

opportunity by going away you get a chance to get that opportunity back and

if she takes you after that if you if you do everything correctly follow all

trips amazing advice and make it work you'll not only get her but you'll get

her in a way that no other guy ever has you were the only one that's had that

transformation and that will mean something to her for decades I mean

that's how you get really deep long relationships now what if you're in the

relationship right so you've been dating a girl for a while maybe you guys are

exclusive she's your girlfriend and you want to keep it going right you want to

keep this relationship going because you really like her maybe you're in love

with her how do you be unforgettable when you're already in this is my

absolute favorite one yeah I love relationships relationships is my

favorite and this is all about understanding the Disney promised women

grew up with the Disney promise the idea that one day this shining night would

come along and transform their life and the problem is guys use this to try and

get girls and because of that guys let's be you've ruined the Disney promise

because when they were single they don't want that from someone they don't really

know and they would have accepted it from just one person who cheated on them

or lied to them or broke it and now they don't believe the promise anymore but if

you're in a relationship she holds on to that dream somewhere deep inside and she

wants it from the person she's dating so what you do is you take her on a Disney

date and the good news is every Disney movie is already outlined - this you're

gonna be making out on a bridge under the moonlight you're gonna go to this

fancy dinner and you're gonna turn up in a horse-drawn carriage trust me those

services exist you can hire it I did you give her the full Disney wonderful

moment but I heard some jewelry but like a necklace with like a bigger love heart

like you'd get from Disney and sell it when you give it to her you'd be like

you know like I'm expecting you to wear this but this is a memento of this

wonderful evening and by giving her that big cheesy Disney day she will melt no

other guy has done it before no other guy will do it again and in fact that

she it's what everyone gets wrong they put the effort in before they start

dating or when they're trying to date them and then as relationship goes on

they get lazier and lazier you want to do the reverse where you know you're

kind of being cool guy on the end but now you're dating you blow her away with

this Disney moment and she's yours forever and also when you're putting in

this kind of work right when you're doing something very romantic this is

very over sensationalized again I'm saying works very well when you're in

the relationship but don't get confused because this is stuff that doesn't work

as well before you guys have either had sex or you're exclusive meaning you know

she is your girlfriend because if you do too soon if you're doing this on a first

date second date it's too cheesy it's too needy or going over the top and the

reason why it's weird is because the girl is thinking why is this guy going

so over-the-top he doesn't even really know me it's like what is it's almost

like kind of desperate like you're putting so much effort into something

when you guys don't even know each other yet but when you do it after you guys

have been more connected or in a relationship it works like a charm all

right now that you already know this we a little gift for you we co-created a

blueprint for you so you can be the guy who gets women to chase you instead of

be the guy that's going off and chasing women some really good advice good

How you can Support Young People Living with HIV - Duration: 1:58.

(inspirational piano music)

- We will not - be erased.

- We will not - be erased.

- We will not - be--

- [Crowd] I believe Debra Ramirez.

- [Crowd] I still believe Anita Hill.

- [Crowd] I believe survivor.

(energetic piano music)

- My name is Gregory Meredith

and my pronouns are he, him, and his.

I'm most passionate about ending the stigma

of people living with HIV.

As a person living with HIV,

we face a lot of stigma everyday,

and it's hurtful so I want to change that.

Stigma shows up in language, how people view me.

I applied for Advocates for Youth ECHO program,

Engaging Communities Around HIV Organizing.

I was very excited when I got the

acceptance letter to go to Urban Retreat.

I went to different sessions with my

fellow ECHO participants, and we talked about

HIV stigma, story-telling, disclosure.

I felt empowered to go pubic with my status on Facebook

after I left Urban Retreat.

I felt on top of the world after I left,

leaving other members from the ECHO program

that was living HIV positive and they're young like me,

living all over the world.

It made me feel not scared to share my story

and to help that other young person

that might be living with HIV that can't share their story.

Thank advocates for

the openness, being welcome, like an open door for youth

to come and be themselves.

Should You Register Your Vehicle In Business Name? (Tax Strategies & Tips For Businesses) - Duration: 5:17.

(light instrumental music)

- [Toby] I purchased another vehicle,

I like the way they say another vehicle,

for business purposes.

Do I need to title it in the name of the business?

Jeff, you like this stuff.

- [Jeff] No, we're not going to,

we recommend that you not title it in the business name.

For a couple reasons.

Liability for one, it presents additional liability

to the company, to your business,

and second, it's a little more expensive

to put it in your company.

You may find that interest rates are higher

if you're getting loans on the car.

And commercial insurance on the auto

is definitely going to be higher than personal insurance.

- [Toby] Yeah, because, in theory,

again if you're in a business, anybody in that business

can go hop right in and drive that car around.

And you're also, whenever you're doing business,

now you're liable for anything that happens in it.

So just by the nature of it, it's now a business asset,

so the business is exposed, plus you're exposed.

Two people to defend equals more money.

So it's more expensive.

- [Jeff] Well and I think sometimes we forget

that we're using that car on non-business hours.

And we get in a wreck or something,

it's still a business vehicle.

- [Man] Ooh, alright so here's our deal.

Taxable, personal use.

So let's say that you're spending $50,000 on a car.

And you're using it 50% for business.

First off, that's a problem.

You have to use it more than 50% for business

in order, or is it right at 50?

- [Jeff] I think it's right at 50.

- [Toby] If you're going to write that thing off,

it's very easy for the IRS to come in and say

we think that that was actually dis-allowable deduction

'cause it wasn't being used for more than 50%.

Now this isn't something where you just say it's 50%.

You have to track this and prove

that you used it more than 50%.

Otherwise, no deduction.

Zero, zilch.

It is actually a personal asset.

And now you're being thwarted.

And if you took a deduction, they make you claim that

as taxable income.

- [Jeff] Yes they do.

- [Toby] Which is very bad.

But here's the other side.

Depending on the value of the vehicle,

the IRS has a cool layout,

what do they call that thing?

It's a...

The schedule of how much taxable income you have to include

in your return every year for that vehicle

based on its price.

So if it's 50,000 you're going to be paying,

I think it's close to 10,000 that you're going to have to claim

if you use it for personal use.

That's 100% personal use.

So if you're using it 50/50,

you may have $5,000 taxable to you.

Versus, what's the alternative?

- [Jeff] You have a personal vehicle in your name

and you're reimbursed under an accountable plan

for the mileage taken,

is the easiest way I can see doing it.

- [Toby] Yeah, mileage is just 54.5 cents a mile.

And I should say business mile.

And the easiest way to track that

is something called Mile IQ.

Easy app, you can just go on

if you have an Apple or Android phone.

It'll GPS you.

So you just say, I think you swipe right for business,

swipe left for personal.

Whatever it is.

It's one of those types of apps where you're swiping.

And you just say hey, this was a business trip,

this was a personal trip, and it tracks it for you.

And at the end of the year you just say,

here's the amount of miles and the company cuts you a check

and you don't have to report it personally.

And the company writes it off as an expense.

That's typically our recommendation.

There are exceptions.

And you know, the reason that we say this is our typical,

is because you better show me there's a really good reason

to have the business vehicle.

So maybe you have a construction company

where you have some trucks or something like that.

- [Jeff] Right.

- [Toby] Then maybe, but otherwise,

if it's just your family car and you're just,

you know, you're running around doing some

real estate business or an MLM or something,

you got to be really careful with this.

There's a lot of people that have gotten burned on this one.

And then once it's in the business,

it's kind of a pain to get it out.

- [Jeff] Yes.

- [Toby] It's not like you can just hand it to yourself

and say congratulations, here's a bonus.

That's taxable to you.

That fair market value gets hit.

So I tend to be with Jeff.

I like to see it in your personal name

'cause it's cheaper, in the long run

you're getting a lot more benefit.

My commercial insurance, I've done this before,

was almost twice as much.

It always depends a little bit.

[Narrator, irked tone] "Milk has never been delivered at your apartment."

[Narrator, normal tone] "Before you even have a moment to catch your breath,"

[Narrator] "one of the shadowy creatures starts towards you, dropping into a dive. You bolt to the park across the way--"

[Narrator, irked] "-- for safety."

[Narrator, fine again] "The park is nice and green. There are no harsh winds and it is warm. There's nothing to generate light, yet it it is well lit." (Chaotic destructive noises continue int he background)

[Cidro] "There you are-- right on time."

[Narrator] "Cidra doesn't look to you when he greets you,"

[Narrator] "instead he continues pulling food out of a picnic basket, and Alex pats a spot next to her on the maroon blanket."

[Narrator, annoyed] "You ask what they are doing there," [Alex] "You don't remember? It's our leap year tradition! We do this, like, twice a year!"

[Narrator, still annoyed] "You don't remember."

[Cidro, matter of fact] "Of course not." [Alex] "Right-- you hit your head on that rock last spring when you dove into the shallow bit of that stream, heh~"

[Cidro, as if shrugging it off] "Sure."

[Narrator, casual again] "Alex put the CD into the player next to her, and Cidro hands you a sandwich from the picnic basket." (Distorted music begins to play, eerie and airy. Chaos still in the background.)

[Narrator] "Alex bites into hers with gusto." [Cidro, nonchalant] "Heads up."

[Narrator] "Cidro shoots the shadow out of the sky with perfect accuracy." (A semi-automatic firing)

[Narrator] "It disappears into a wisp of smoke as it hits the ground."

[Narrator] "Here we look so weapon quickly and ease."

[Cidro] "You didn't know I could shoot, but if you could remember, you"d know, the things I can do

[Alex] "Man! You're missing out on some great memories!" (Chaos and gunfiring continues)

[Alex, sighs before continuing] "Cidro, remember last Leap Year those flying piranhas were really something, huh?" [Cidro, sarcastic] "Great help you were with those..."

[Alex] "Pft! You had the whole thing under control!"

[Alex] "Besides, I was focusing on the pinata! We stuffed that thing FULL of spiders. It was great!"

[Alex] "It's a shame that you can't remember any of it."

[Cidro, sighs] "You always play Ke$ha. Can I I play something of my own?" (Gunfiring continues) [Alex]: "My CD player, my CDs." [Cidro, resigned] "I knew you would say that."

[Narrator] "You sit with Alex, watching the day unfold." (Screaming, distorted music playing, gunfire)

[Narrator] "Lightning she was down from the sky setting fire to cars and street lamps with purple flames." (Sound of lightning striking and fire burning)

[Narrator] "Down the street you see a pack of cashiers with working to bring down a giant pillbug twice their size." (Cashiers growing, cry of a giant bug in distress)

[Narrator] "Up the way, everyone is looting each other. No house or store is safe."

[Narrator] "Cidro reloads his gun once more, still fending off the area of predatory shadows. (bothered tone) You asked why this happens every Leap Year." (Thunder crackles again)

[Alex, a little surprised and in minor disbelief] "Are you seriously asking that? That's... kind of obvious."

[Narrator, annoyed] "It isn't obvious."

[Alex, exasperated] "Ugh, I don't really feel like explaining it. It's, like, natural phenomenon stuff, you know?"

[Alex] "Sun, moon, earth, star alignment--- Cidro, you explain it!" [Cidro, impatient] "I'm a little busy right now...!" (More gunfire and Shadows dying honking)

[Alex] "Fine, we'll just have to explain to you another day." [Narrator] "As you listen to Alex's singing and keeping an on the ever growing chaos," (Alex incoherently singing, not knowing all the words)

[Narrator] "The day simply goes on. The sounds of bullets firing and screeching monstrosities lull you to sleep as the night starts to set."

[Narrator, mad] "You occasionally stir at the frightening noises in your sleep." (Alex still singing, the sound of planes crashing, the cashiers growing, etc)

[Alex] "Blah! Blah!Blah! Dah-dum-dah-dum-dun-dah!" (continues to sings to Kesha's "Blah blah blah," although the music is distorted. A plane crashes, engine explodes. Gunfiring and screaming continues, thunder rolling. Utter chaos and fear.)

[Alex] "She's rapping really fast I don't know these words! Woo! Woo! Woo! (Breaks into laughter)"

(The chaotic sounds dies down and finally breaks into peaceful silence as You fall asleep)

(the same sound in the beginning-- a distorted ringing tone begins to play, long and consistent)

(An uncanny sound plays, unsettling)

[Girl's voice, at first, echo-like, long and drawn out] "Waaakkee....uuuup.....Waaaakee....uuuupp..... (Repeating)

(The voice becomes crystal clear) [Girl's voice] "Wake up...Wake up....Wake up....Wake up...Wake up....Wake---"

[Alex, her voice cutting in] "Hey, hey! Wake up! It's midnight!"

[Narrator] "Rubbing your eyes as you sit up, you see Cidro with sleeves rolled up,"

[Narrator] "holding a spear that appears to be made from a walking stick and a steak knife duct-taped together."

[Narrator] "The shadows flying overhead disappear into wisps of black smoke, and you can see the missing half of your apartment building floating down from the sky."

[Narrator] "It reassembles itself each piece sliding neatly against each other until the apartment is whole again looking exactly as it did before the damage."

[Narrator] "The streets are quiet and clear of all other violent creatures."

[Narrator] "The few people outside wandering the streets begin to make their way back home, each step filled with exhaustion."

The Caltech Effect: The Big Picture - Duration: 2:33.

- If you want to collect visual expertise, being able to recognize animals, plants, motorcycles,

skin cancers, anything that comes to mind, it's not as easy because computers don't handle

images well.

- In 2010, computer vision was actually getting pretty good for basic level categories, but

it was struggling to classify things that looked very similar.

Birds are a great example.

All birds have the same basic layout--wings, bill, tail, belly--but the pieces that differentiate

them are the attributes on those parts.

- It's very difficult to ask the computer, "What is this?" and just show it a picture, and

that's what we set off to build.

- In 2011, Cornell Lab of Ornithology reached out to us. They were really excited about

the possibility of being able to use computer vision to recognize birds in photographs.

- Luckily we knew people at Google, and they were very enthusiastic about what we were

doing, so during the past 6 years, they've given us a lot of support.

Right now, the benefit for the general public is, if you see a plant or an animal, you are

very likely to be able to recognize it thanks to an app that we've built for you.

- Anyone, anywhere in the world, can upload a photo of animal and they can ask,

"What do you think this is?" to an artificial intelligence algorithm which was developed at Caltech.

- Now we can instantly give a user feedback on what they're looking at.

- For the first time, you're able to leverage people's passions, their interests, their

hobbies to directly provide research data for scientists.

- In the future, we are planning to make our tools available to new communities, for example,

the medical community.

- Currently, I am working on algorithms that utilize artificial intelligence to extract

important information from cameras that biologists put out into the wild.

The big question that I'm trying to answer with my research here at Caltech is:

How can we create a global model of biodiversity and how it's changing over time?

I would like to create a real-time model of where you can actually find species and where

they're being wiped out.

And if we actually have that information, we can start making important decisions about

how to save those species.

- At the beginning of the project, it was solely focused on getting humans to teach machines.

Now, the machine's actually pretty good.

So now, if we flip the problem around,

can we use this machine to help teach humans?

That's the next step.
