DAVID GREENE: In Houston, Texas —

maybe more than most places — football looms large.

And so it is no surprise that NFL protests

during the national anthem have spilled into daily life.

RONNIE MITCHEM: I told the whole team exactly what would happen if they did kneel.

JOHN BARRETT: People of color have been saying they have been mistreated for years.

Police brutality — now people are talking about it.

INDIA LANDRY: It's going to take time, but eventually it'll change things.

GREENE: And of course, President Trump himself continues to weigh in.

TRUMP: Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners —

when somebody disrespects our flag —

to say, "Get that son of a b**** off the field right now.

Out! He's fired. He's fired!"

What began as protests against racial injustice

has morphed into a culture war.

It's messy. It's personal.

And in many ways, it's about what it means

for people of many races, backgrounds and politics to share the symbol of the American flag.

Just outside Houston, a highway divides two small towns:

one largely black, the other largely white.

Ronnie Mitchem is a pastor in Crosby, Texas,

and behind his church is the field where he coached a small but proud home-school football team.

Last year, Mitchem told his players that if they wanted to protest,

they could do it anytime, except during the anthem at their games.

And still, two of his players — both African-American — defied him,

and he then kicked them off the team.

The ensuing media coverage, the controversy, a few graduations —

resulted in Mitchem disbanding the football program altogether.

How painful was that for you, to watch your season unravel like that?

MITCHEM: I'd known my two players who knelt for two seasons.

One of them had been at my house, spent the night many times.

Him and my son were good friends.

This was a kid who actually on my birthday of 2017 wrote on Twitter:

"To the best coach you could ever have." Or "ask for."

You know, it was probably one of the ...

I know to other people it doesn't seem much, but to me

it was just one of the hardest moments of my life.

It broke my heart that they did that, because I thought we had an agreement.

Second of all, I knew that things were never going to be the same.

GREENE: So you brought up the whole kneeling question with them.

MITCHEM: Yeah, I talked with them about it and

I said, "Actually, you know the issue with the kneeling is

that it's disrespectful to those men and women who serve.

First of all, it's disrespectful to your country,

because you live in the greatest country on the face of the earth.

You're blessed already to be born an American.

So you've got a blessing." I said and then,

"You're looking at these men who have died and give everything for you and sacrificed.

They didn't have a life.

They were 18 years old just like some of you, and they died on a beach somewhere.

Never had the privilege to have a wife or kid or family."

And I said also, because you know it seemed to be about color to some extent and race.

I said that, "You know, there were white men who fought for the national anthem,

I mean for the flag, who fought to free slaves.

So when everybody wants to get you in this debate,

understand there were men who died, who were white, to free slaves.

So you know, we're not going to do this."

And my point was we're just going to show respect, and I expect that out of you.

GREENE: You said that you have taught these young men respect and that that's so important to you.

You know these two players have talked about that they felt —

not that they were disrespecting the flag —

they wanted to join a movement to speak out about how African-Americans are treated in this country.

Wouldn't it be the ultimate show of respect to them

or you to put your personal views about flag and country — as strong as they are — aside

to let them do something that is so important to them?

MITCHEM: Not when it comes to disrespecting my country. No.

I find it offensive.

I love those two boys, but if they love me in return and showed respect ...

I have rules. They know my rules.

You don't get respect by showing disrespect.

Because if you lose that symbol of America,

then what draws all of us — black, white, Hispanic, everybody — together.

Then, I mean, we're losing the symbol that should represent all of us.

And so disrespecting it — to me, it's the way I felt —

is just tearing that down in our society.

GREENE: Just across the highway from Crosby sits Barrett Station.

And that is where we met John Barrett.

He's the great-grandson of the freed slave who founded this town.

John Barrett maintains the estate, and he hosted us in his family museum.

Before we turned the microphones on, you were telling me a story about two girls,

little girls who visited your family's estate. Can you tell me that again?

BARRETT: Yeah. My cousin was throwing a festival.

They were on the opposite side of the compound, and they were looking over —

because when you look over from over there, and you see the house, it's just beautiful.

And they basically said amongst themselves:

They couldn't believe that these white people allowed all of these black people here.

And I just paused and looked at them for a second,

and I thought, "Oh, my God. We've got so far to go."

GREENE: What role does this moment play in that journey?

BARRETT: This moment right now is exposing the truth.

It's showing you that these issues really are real.

And the protest that Colin has brought about ...

I have an issue with him taking a knee. The knee is submissive.

There's nothing submissive about this. He should stand with his fist in the air.

GREENE: Colin Kaepernick and others, you're saying?

BARRETT: Yes. So he took it a step further and became submissive.

And people have an issue with that.

And that just tells you when you hear someone saying,

"Oh, he's being unpatriotic" or whatever. "He's disrespecting the flag" or whatever.

Man, he's taking a knee.

When you pray, you get on your knees.

People of color have been saying they've been mistreated for years, and people dismiss it.

"Oh, you're pulling the race card."

"Oh, that's really not happening. Oh, this. Oh, that."

Well, it did.

I mean, how many more episodes do we need?

GREENE: And are you saying that the racism that still exists in our country needed to be exposed?

BARRETT: And our president couldn't have done a better job.

I commend him for it. He pulled the cover off of all of it.

He did.

I thank him.

GREENE: He very famously came out and called NFL players who were protesting SOBs.

BARRETT: Honestly, it was trying ... it was dying out.

And when he di that, he stirred it back up.

GREENE: Are you glad that he stirred it back up?

Well, he's bringing — and maybe that was secretly his plan —

he's bringing issues back to the forefront.

GREENE: But you said you didn't necessarily like ...

BARRETT: I didn't like his choice of words, but by him doing that

he stirred it up, brought it back and now we have to deal with it.

GREENE: So is two years enough and now it's time to move on

to the next phase of what you're talking about, or do you want Trump to keep stirring this?

BARRETT: I don't want the stirring to continue.

No, I don't want the stirring to continue at all.

I think we need to come center now.

I think our president needs to bring his center now.

Now that he's done it and shown it, he needs to become a uniter.

GREENE: Do you see that happening?

BARRETT: He could do it.

GREENE: Do you see Donald Trump doing it?

BARRETT: I would like for him to do it.

I would like ... that would be a wonderful thing.

I would love to see him become a uniter now.

He's shown us. Now fix us.

GREENE: You really can't visit Texas on a Friday night without finding a football game, right?

I was in the stands here with India Landry,

who — as a sixth-grader, six years ago — started protesting police violence

by staying seated during the Pledge of Allegiance at school.

Her gesture took on new dimensions when NFL players began protesting in 2016,

and during her senior year she was expelled for not standing for the pledge.

So no one kneeled tonight?

LANDRY: No one kneeled. No, no one kneeled tonight.

GREENE: What do you think of that? Do you ...

LANDRY: I'm not against it. I wouldn't do it. I would kneel.

GREENE: You would kneel? If you were out there?

LANDRY: Mmm hmm.

GREENE: In just a few weeks, India is going to be coming off the sidelines.

She's going to vote for the very first time.

LANDRY: I remember being younger and like "I wish I could vote."

And now I'm able to. It matters most now, probably more than ever.

AL.com Insider: Insight on Auburn-Texas A&M with Ben Baby - Duration: 4:35.

What's going on? We're cruising into Week 10 of the college football season.

Auburn coming off a bye week, they welcome Texas A&M to Jordan-Hare Stadium

Both teams 5-3 coming into this one and we're gonna welcome in Ben Baby

from the Dallas Morning News to talk a little bit more about Texas A&M.

Let's start -- let's hit the rewind button. This past week a disappointing

loss to Mississippi State. It's been a year of ups and downs for

this Texas A&M team, kind of like Auburn. Overall what was your biggest takeaway

from this football game against Mississippi State especially on the

offensive side of the football? You know I think the biggest thing is that you

know A&M came into that Mississippi State game having won three in a row but

it was really the same team that ended up -- all the same things that ailed them

in that winning streak ended up being what cost them against Mississippi State

Really just the inability to you know stop teams -- opposing teams'

passing attacks. And then on the flip side, being able to score touchdowns in all

SEC games. This year A&M's failed to score more than two offensive touchdowns of

regulation. And you know, that you can get away with that if your defense is

playing really well, but like we saw against Mississippi State, if you aren't

able to contain the other team and you've got to put up points that becomes

problematic. So that's something that A&M definitely needs to fix moving forward

and starting this weekend against Auburn. Yes so since 2012 when Texas A&M came

into the SEC there's 3-0 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. So my question for

you coming into this matchup, what will be a big key for victory for Texas A&M to get

the win against Auburn? You know number one they've got to be able to contain

Jarrett Stidham. I know that that Auburn offense is kind of struggling at

times and hasn't been what Auburn fans wanted to look like, but the same can be

said for South Carolina and Mississippi State and both their

quarterbacks ended up finding success against the Aggies secondary.

Stidham is definitely a capable quarterback. A lot of folks around here

remember what it was like watching him carve up defenses when he was at

Stephenville and then whenever he went to Baylor there was a lot of promise

still around what he'd be able to do and I still think he's a really

good quarterback. And one Auburn finds the best way to use him around

the current personnel I think Auburn will have a

pretty good offense. And A&M's gonna have to be able to contain him. And then on

the offensive side of the ball A&M's got to contain Auburn's

pass rush. One of the league leaders in team sacks and tackles for loss.

A&M's gonna have a backup guard on the starting lineup in addition to already

having a young offensive line. And A&M leads the SEC in sacks allowed by a mile

so that could be a really big matchup to watch on Saturday. OK so as we enter

into the final stretch of the season here in the month of November, you

know Texas A&M still has up quite a few matchups. They've got Ole Miss, they got to

go up against LSU and a feisty UAB team that has performed well in the

Conference USA. Overall when you look at the body of work that Jimbo Fisher has

put together as the head coach in his first season at College Station what's

the overall consensus and the thoughts from the fan base thus far and really

projecting forward what really needs to happen this month for you know fans to

kind of have a good taste in their mouth, a good feel as they move forward?

You know I think it really depends on what happens with these next few games one of

the reasons that loss to Mississippi State was so frustrating is because it

was a thorn in their side under the last few years under Kevin Sumlin and you

hope that when you got a guy like Jimbo Fisher he'd be able to you know

alleviate kind of some of those those old -- or exorcise some of

those old demons. And on Saturday it just wasn't the case. Mississippi State

just ended up being a really tough matchup for A&M. you know I still think if they

end up going to you know if they finish 7-5 I think fans will be a

little frustrated given how how well they started the year I think if you get

to 8-4, which I thought at the beginning of the year would be a very

good season first year for Jimbo, I think fans will be happy especially if you're

able to knock off LSU potentially at home which is gonna be a

big ask given how well that defense has played all year. But you know I think

winning on Saturday and beating Ole Miss would definitely go a long way

for fans feeling good about what happened at the end of the year. You know

ultimately I think A&M should -- if they finished their final three SEC games

with a 2-1 record I think fans will be really happy about what happened

this year and be optimistic moving forward under the rest of

Fisher's tenure. All right thanks so much he's Ben Baby, Dallas Morning News.

You can catch him there thank you all your insight. Of course Auburn-Texas A&M

kicking off at 11 a.m. in Jordan-Hare Stadium. And for all your Auburn Tiger

updates you can visit us on AL.com. This video was brought to you by Caliber.

Texas Dems panic as straight ticket option changes their vote to Cruz - Duration: 6:38.

Some malfunctioning voting machines in Texas are resulting in Democrats voting for Republican Sen

Ted Cruz if they cast their ballot for a straight, party line ticket and don't correct it before hitting the red vote button

The glitch effects the Hart Intercivic eSlate voting machines, which are used in 78 of the 254 counties in the state, and could cost Democratic candidate Beto O'Rourke votes as he tried to defeat Cruz in an election that could decide which party control the Senate

 Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos put the fault on the voter and not the machine, saying the error occurs when a voter takes action before the machine 'has finished rendering all the choices resulting from the voter's straight-party choice

' Pablos said in a statement his office has released detailed instructions on how to use the machine when voting and added it's important for voters to know the machines are not purposely changing votes

'It is important for all voters in the 78 Texas counties utilizing the Hart Intercivic eSlate to understand that the voting machines are not malfunctioning, nor are they arbitrarily 'switching' the choices of voters who cast a straight-party ballot,' he said

Pablos also cautioned about spreading alarm about the situation. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next THREE migrant caravans continue their march through southern

Trump approval rating falls four points to 40 per cent after. 'America is stronger than the acts of a depraved bigot and

Saudi arms deal Trump claimed will create 500,000 jobs will. Share this article Share 764 shares 'Moreover, the Secretary of State's office has observed a disturbing trend where misinformation is being spread regarding the scale and the impact of these reported instances

This has the potential consequence of raising unnecessary alarm about the integrity of Texas' voting systems and discouraging eligible Texas voters from casting their ballots,' he said

For Republican voters choosing the party line ballot option, the glitch can result in no vote being cast in the competitive Senate race, where Cruz led O'Rourke by five points in the latest poll

Cruz is in the political battle of his life as he tries to hang on to his Senate seat from O'Rouke, an up-and-coming Democratic star who has harnessed the power of social media to uplift his campaign and raise millions of dollars

The incumbent Cruz has brought in GOP heavy weights to help save his seat, including President Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr

Early voting has begun in the state and the secretary of state advised voters to be patient when casting their ballot to help avoid any error

'When voting a straight-party ballot, wait at least 3-5 seconds for all choices to be rendered on the eSlate voting machines

Counties in which voters have longer ballots may require additional time to allow the screens to load fully,' Pablos advised

 Ft. Bend County Election Administrator John Oldham told a local ABC News station he's seen the problem for at least six years

'It's not a glitch, it's a user-induced problem that comes from the type of system that we have,' Oldham said

'I think both sides could be equally hurt.' He added that he's talked to the Secretary of State more than once about the situation and it's not been fixed other than signs being posted that to warn voters to check their selections before hitting the red vote button

Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa is demanding the problem be fixed.'The first step in solving a problem is recognizing that you have one

And the Texas Secretary of State's office has one. This is not a new problem, their office knew about potential flaws in their voting machines and chose to ignore them for years,' he said in a statement

 'Instead of owning up to their mistake, Texas' Republican government blamed voters and did nothing

'He added: 'The Texas Democratic Party demands the Texas Secretary of State take responsibility for their failures and immediately take action to inform voters to double-check their ballots

'The O'Rourke campaign did not respond to DailyMail.com's request for comment.Marian Schneider, president of Verified Voting, a voting integrity organization, told The Washington Post the glitch could impact 5

1 million Texas voters, at a minimum.

NASCAR Thunder 2004 (PS2) Thunder License: Episode #13 - Texas Motor Speedway - Duration: 4:27.

Richard Petty – "Everything's bigger in Texas;" that saying definitely applies here at the Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

Richard Petty – Built in 1994, this 1 ½ mile oval can accommodate over 150,000 screaming NASCAR fans; and boy, do these fans get a show.

Richard Petty – Drivers' speed can reach over 190 miles an hour before they go into the 24 degree banked corners.

Richard Petty – Anyone who's been here will tell you, "This place is awesome."

Richard Petty – Texas can be a tough track to drive, with a narrow groove and the quad oval can be quite a handful if you're not ready for it.

Richard Petty – You want to take turn 1 & 2 at around 170 (mph) and you'll need to use all the track to get to the backstretch with the right speed.

Richard Petty – Stay on the gas and you'll get the car up to over 190 (mph) before you'll need to hit the brakes for turn 3.

Richard Petty – Hug the bottom of the track at about 170 (mph), then accelerate out of turn 4 when it starts to open up.

Richard Petty – The banking will level out and the car can get a little loose there, so watch out.

Jeff Gordon – Good.

Jeff Gordon – I think you can get a little more out of it.

Jeff Gordon – Follow me.

Jeff Gordon – Get on it some more.

Jeff Gordon – Put it right on the line.

Jeff Gordon – Great.

Jeff Gordon – The groove is up here.

Jeff Gordon – Sweet.

Jeff Gordon – Step it up.

Jeff Gordon – You're catching me.

Jeff Gordon – You're getting it.

Hi, I'm Dr. Joe Nemeth. I'm a periodontist in Southfield, Michigan and I want to

talk today about gum recession, the causes of gum recession, treatment for

gum recession, specifically the pinhole technique for gum recession. So what is

gum recession? Well gum the recession is when the gum

moves away from the tooth so more and more of the tooth starts to show. The

root of the tooth starts to show and this can lead to increased sensitivity a

unacceptable or a smile that's not very attractive and as the gum continues to

recede the tooth may be more subject to decay. As the gum recedes the bone

recedes and you know if you continue to lose gum and you continue to lose bone

the tooth really becomes at risk and you actually risk losing the tooth. So

there's lots of consequences to untreated gum recession. So let's talk

about the causes of gum recession. Well one of the primary causes is genetics. If

you inherit, genetically, if you inherit thin gum tissue, that thin gum tissue is

much more likely to be subject to recession than someone who has thicker

gum tissue. Another cause that I frequently see I would say probably 70

to 80% of the patients that I see for recession have had orthodontic treatment

and sometimes that recession doesn't occur till a month a year, two, five, ten

twenty years after the orthodontics, but very frequently the orthodontics has an

effect on the bone and the gum, that sets the stage for recession in the future.

Another major cause is vigorous tooth brushing.

Most of the patients that I see are very very conscious of how clean their mouth

should be and they're super duper cleaners. They may brush their teeth

three, four times a day, really scrub them. Well, the more you scrub if you over

scrub and if you over-clean you're actually traumatizing

that tissue and causing it to be more likely to recede in the future. Also, if

you clench you grind your teeth that can be a factor. If you have fillings that

can irritate the tissue and sometimes cause recession. I had a patient the other

day who had recession after she had used a whitening strip to whiten her

teeth. So sometimes the chemicals from whitening materials, strong chemicals can

actually cause gum recession. So, those are some of the frequent causes that we

see when we see gum recession. Traditionally, in repairing areas of gum

recession periodontists take tissue from the palate. Now, that can be pretty

uncomfortable, it can be pretty painful actually. Cutting gum tissue out of the

roof of the mouth is really what it is. Plus, you can only do a limited number of

teeth because you can only really take out a certain amount of gum tissue from

the palate at one time actually, of course it's limited. So, I use the

pinhole technique exclusively, virtually exclusively. I never never take tissue

from the palate if I can possibly avoid it, which is almost all the time. So

here's an example of a situation where a young man came in, he had had recession

on the back of one of his lower front teeth. Now a periodontist twice in the

past he had been to periodontists who tried to repair this with what's called

the gold standard which is taking tissue from the roof of the mouth and trying to

cover the recession with that. Both of those attempts failed. He came to our

office and it was an interesting challenge and we did it with a

modification of the pinhole technique and we got a very gratifying result, much

much better and the patient of course was much happier than what had happened

in the past. Now we also had another patient who flew in from South Korea. She

wanted to have her recession treated. She was an American citizen but lived in

Korea. She flew in to see me. We did her whole mouth, and once. Again, we didn't take

tissue from the palate. You really couldn't treat the whole

mouth by taking tissue from the palate anyway, because you couldn't get enough

tissue. So we did the pinhole technique which is minimally invasive, usually

little or no pain or discomfort. It's really really great it's worked so well

for me and my patients. We did her whole mouth. This is what it looked like before,

after the result is great. She was extremely happy. We were extremely happy

and it's very gratifying to be able to help patients like this who've got gum

recession. Some of whom have been through previous treatment that hasn't worked

that it maybe has failed, and then we can very often help them and treat those

areas effectively with minimal discomfort and maximum effectiveness.

It's a great technique, great procedure. So if you have gum recession, don't

hesitate to give us a call we'll take a look and see if we can help you. We

probably can, and if you have any comments make sure and let us know. We

want to keep you informed. Keep you happy, keep you healthy because if you have a

healthy mouth, you're going to have a healthier body. Take care, have a great day!

Lush Deep Dives: Tame Tresses with Hair Treatments - Duration: 9:46.

- What's up?

We're gonna talk about hair treatments today.

Hair treatments are a really great way to add

a boost of moisture to the hair to help repair it.

It's a really great way also to get into Lush haircare

if you've never tried it before.

So, I'm gonna talk a little bit about

some of the different kinds that we have,

how to use them and then you can tell

me which ones you're really curious about

and which ones you've tried and stuff down below.

So first let's talk about why

you would use a hair treatment.

A hair treatment is a great thing

to use for lots of different reasons.

Let's start with the most obvious,

your hair needs help.

If you have wrecked it from dying it

or over styling it or using too much heat,

then especially the bottoms are gonna be experiencing

a lot of breakage and a lot of moisture loss,

so a hair treatment can really help out with that,

it can help to add extra moisture to the hair,

it can help to strengthen it,

we have a lot of olive oil in them,

and it can really help just revitalize that hair.

Another reason is because you feel like it.

So, at Lush we always say listen to your skin

and that goes for your hair, as well.

So, if you're dong a Fresh Face Mask or a foot treatment,

you might as well do a hair mask, too,

'cause you're just gonna hop in the shower

and rinse it all off anyway, right?

So, if you're having a night in

and you just wanna do something a little extra special

for yourself, a hair treatment is a really great way

to give your hair a little bit of extra love.

It's also a really great thing to do

if you're just getting into Lush hair care.

So, at Lush, in our conditioners, we don't use silicon.

So, silicon is,

it feels good (sighing) on the hair,

but it's actually not repairing or strengthening

the hair itself, it's really just coating it.

So, I like to think of our conditioners

as really strengthening the hair from the inside

and really working on the hair that you have.

So, when you are starting with a new Lush conditioner,

using a hair treatment for a couple of weeks

is a really great way to kind of bridge that gap

between stopping a life of silicone use

in your hair products and moving over

to a more natural way of conditioning your hair.

So a hair treatment is a really great first big step

along that path to health for your hair

and kind of getting back to your roots, so to speak.

So we have a couple of different kinds of hair treatments

at Lush, I'll start with the classics.

This one is H'suan Wen Hua, some people say shwan when wah,

and that is okay, but you'll hear all manner

of pronunciations, I say swan like the bird,

when wah, okay?

Swan when wah, that's how I say it.

H'suan Wen Hua is (sighing) really a classic hair treatment

in that (sniffing) it's almost like a hair dressing.

So (sniffing) when you smell it,

you're smelling some bay leaf and some cinnamon,

so those two things are really going to stimulate the hair

and the cells so it's gonna be bringing oxygen rich blood

to the cells to nourish, to encourage healthy hair growth.

This one also has olive oil

and that's great for tensile strength.

Tensile strength is how hard you can pull

on something before it snaps.

And it can actually increase that tensile strength

in your hair threefold over just plain, dry hair.

So, olive oil is really great to help strengthen the hair.

This one also has some fresh banana,

some fresh avocado, so you can imagine

what that does, just giving like yummy moisture

to the hair and then some balsamic vinegar

and you can actually smell

a little bit of that in here, too.

Balsamic vinegar is great for making the hair shiny.

So when you're thinking about the combination

of those things, we're thinking about stimulation,

we're thinking about hydration,

and we're thinking about strength.

So, there's a lot of really great things going on

in H'suan Wen Hua.

To use a hair treatment, any hair treatment

that we have, you just put it into dry hair,

leave it in for 20, 30 minutes,

and then you just wash it out.

So, why do you put it into dry hair?

That's a really good question.

When your hair is wet, it's already soaked up

a lot of water and it can't really soak

up more product, like the hair treatment,

so you want the hair to soak up as much

of it as it can to really do the best work

and so you wanna put it on dry hair where

your hair's really thirsty and soak it all up

and then leave that to do

the good for that 20 or 30 minutes.

I usually like to put a little wrap on my head,

sometimes I'll even just put a plastic grocery bag

or a little bit of plastic wrap or something like that

or like a reusable shower cap would be great.

And that'll kind of keep a little bit

of your head's heat inside there, too,

and will kind of give it like a little bit of extra warmth.

But I like to do that and maybe do

that while you're taking a bath or watching a T.V. show

and then you can shower it out afterwards.

So those are our traditional potted hair treatments,

but we also have a really cool idea

which is hair treatments on a stick.

So, the inspiration from this came

from a Belgium coffee shop.

Mark Constantine went into this coffee shop

and they had hot chocolate on a stick,

so, just like you can imagine, this is like a block

of chocolate they put into the mug

and then stirred it up and had this lovely hot chocolate.

So, what a great idea for a product!

And so this is where hot oil treatments were born.

So what you do with it, there's instructions right on here,

you just pour a little bit of boiling water into a cup,

you stir it around until it's melted

and it's a nice creamy consistency just like

a potted hair treatment and then just let

it cool just enough, and you know, cool to the touch,

so you're not sticking your hands in a really hot product.

Put it in, leave it in, just like we talked about,

for 20, 30 minutes and then you rinse it out.

So, I made one, I Martha Stewarted this for you.

This is our Hair Doctor which has some seaweed in there

and mint, really good for kind of troublesome scalps

and then this one is our New hair treatment.

So, it's called New, just like the shampoo bar,

if you're familiar with that.

It's got a lot of cinnamon and clove in there,

it's really stimulating.

So this one you can see is a different color,

but this is kinda what you're looking for.

So after about, you know, 10 minutes or so,

it's gonna be this nice creamy consistency

and you just kinda keep stirring it up every now and then,

make yourself a tea and have your tea while

you're waiting for it to melt down

and just kinda keep on stirring it up.

So, when it's cool enough that you can put

your hands into it and get it in, go for it.

I usually like to, 'cause I have a lot of hair,

so what I usually do is I'll kinda start

at the crown of my head first,

and get that going and then I'll kinda put it in a bun

and then I'll kinda do like another layer,

get that going and then kinda like add to the bun,

and add to the bun until it's all taken up

and that's just like a neat way to do it.

But you can do it however you like, of course.

So, this is what you're looking for,

and then it just works just like a potted treatment.

And speaking of potted treatments,

you can put this into a jar or maybe an empty black pot

that you've got and use it for up to a month,

depending on the thickness of your hair

and the length of your hair,

you might use up to half of this.

I've got pretty long, pretty thick hair

and I'll probably use about half of this,

maybe even a little bit more, to do a hair treatment.

If your hair is thinner or shorter,

you'll be using less of it so you can definitely

hang onto this for a little while.

It is a self-preserving product,

which means there are no synthetic preservatives in here.

So now that we've added the water,

we do just wanna be mindful of it.

So, like I said, it would be good for about a month,

but after that, it's freshness is kind of passed you by,

so you wanna get a new fresh one.

So, depending on what you need,

we've got lots of different options for you to try.

So, and that may even change, you know, from week to week,

you might want to try something different.

So if you want something really light

and fresh and stimulating,

we have something like our New hot oil treatment,

the one I just showed you, we also have Roots,

which gives this really zingy, fresh feeling

on the scalp, it really tingles.

You could also try something nice and light,

like Marilyn, we have that in a hot oil treatment

and in the potted treatment,

which is where it originally came from,

so you can kinda like take your pick based on the format.

That's a really nice one for finer hair

or lighter hair that'll just give you

that really simple, gentle hydration,

it's not quite as rich as some of the other ones,

it's got some linseed in there and that'll just help

to make the hair really nice and silky.

We also have a couple for more troubled scalps,

so Hair Doctor here is got some seaweed,

some peppermint in there and this is really gonna be good

for just scalps that need a little bit of extra love

and are maybe feeling a little itchy

or just needing a little bit of a revitalization.

So Hair Doctor would be a really good one for them.

Send them to the doctor!

So, you're probably doing some Fresh Face masks already,

next time you do one, throw a hair mask on, too,

and see how it works.

I guarantee you're gonna come out

the other side feeling really sexy

with some lovely bedroom hair

and feeling really good about what you've just done.

So, come into the shop and call us or look online,

we can help you find the right one.

I wanna know what you've tried,

what you think about them,

so comment down below and then we're gonna keep

on doing some more of these,

so write down what you wanna hear about next time

and we'll be sure to talk about it.

Kybella: Use and Treatment - Duration: 1:48.

> There's another treatment to also destroy fat cells it's called kybella. --

Right -- I see it right here... > These are the two non-surgical fat reduction

procedures and we're doing. Kybella is an injectable product so this is a sample

of the drug right here comes in a small vial like this okay

we'll draw it up into small syringes and then we'll inject the the area for

treatment so this is FDA approved for treatment of the submental fat, the fat

underneath the chin, the double chin and we'll typically use a template like this

because the injection should be equally spaced we'll apply this template to the

skin and it'll put a little these are just little tattoos and then that will

direct the the treatment. So wherever the area of concern is the excess fat

wherever there are tattoos in that area for treatment then we'll inject a

certain volume of the product, and again just similar to the CoolSculpting the

fat will in a similar process be absorbed over a period of about four to

six weeks. > And that's for that what did you call it in the commercial -- turkey

neck, turkey gobbler, double chin -- yeah I just have long hair and that I can hide

look that I'm just gonna hide it. > I don't know that you're candidate... oh no I'm

not I'm just I'm saying a lot of us have it, but I'm sick I don't. I'm seeing if

you're a candidate but actually I don't think you would be a candidate -- thank you --

if you have a little skin laxity than there are other treatments that are

indicated for that but for that this is this or the CoolSculpting the

CoolSculpting has an applicator for treating of the turkey neck as well.

3E @ VRX Boston 2018 - Kyle Jackson, TaleSpin | Th3rdEyeXR - Duration: 2:00.

Hi, I'm Kyle Jackson, I'm the CEO and Co-founder of TaleSpin.

At TaleSpin, we're working on bringing together domain expertise from computer vision,

machine learning, game design and development, enterprise IT, and then also

business transformation to architect solutions that are gonna change the way

we work. We're focused on mixed reality over the long term, right now we're using

virtual and augmented reality to test ideas and drive ROI based on just how

different this spatial medium is. So after three years of working with large

enterprises, we've been able to really distill down to a couple of core

products that we're focusing on - one around collaboration and other around

business intelligence. Both very collaborative, both meant to be multiplayer,

cross-platform. Basically meant to be the start of a kind of this

distributed, intelligent, on-demand, knowledge future. Right now, we're still

building foundations for products that will release two, three years from now,

but servicing needs that are that are here today, and use cases that we're, you

know, getting great results out of them.

What's really exciting is that a lot of people that are kind of on the forefront of what's going on where ROI is being

driven back into business. Some of the biggest businesses in the country are

looking very closely at the future of work, and how these things come together,

and how it's going to redefine our daily experience, and they're looking

at that through a very human lens - not necessarily a business lens.

Those things are aligning. I've had several conversations around all of the other

intangible things about these mediums that we hope to bring your surface, so

that's been both really exciting and insightful. The conversations that we've

been able to have here driven our roadmap and our plans forward significantly.

[B-side] Eating authentic Guangdong food in Boston - Duration: 13:24.

Hey guys. It's not even November yet

but it's crazy windy today.

Inaudible

So the Chinese restaurant I am going today

is only known among Chinese people

I just happen to find out myself.

But the problem of this place is that they don't speak English.

They have English menus though.

The duck dish we are going to have today

you have to make a reservation 3-4 days before.

Cause it requires a lot of prep work

Every time when I call here the chef picks up

and he hungs up cause I don't speak Chinese

Luckily this time an English speaking lady picked up

So I gathered friend to try out the duck

Almost there.

This is a little off from the main Chinatown.

but you still see Chinese stores and people

Hi.

Hello.

What's up?

Please blur me.

Okay. Okay.

Folks here don't want to show their faces today

We gotta repeat what we said already

Wow. Long time no see!

So the due date is next month?

A girl?

I met a friend here.

He's the guy who confirmed that this is the place to go for Guangdong food

Let's order

Spicy food for you.

Soupy one for you.

Let's order spicy cold pig ear.

Are there any warm spicy food?

That's hard to find in Guangdong restaurant.

The clay pot rice is also good.

Chinese style clay pot rice.

You can have eels for topping

Shall we get eels and get invigorated?

(eels known to be good for stamina)

This is also good.

This place is good at Changfen

It's the rice roll you can find in dimsum restaurants

The mainland style looks more scrambled

they don't roll (not true)

We gotta try this one.

Are we not getting the thing?

Oh yeah I already ordered.

What's that?

The duck

Ew the head looks gross

Well, gotta put napkins on top.

This is the duck we are gonna have today.

Poor thing.

Let me tell you how I found this place.

I was searching for eels

And there's a special kind of eel lives in paddy fields

It's named 'D'rung-hurry(bank buster)'

cause it destroys the banks between paddy fields

Koreans don't eat them but they make some kind of extract with them

But in HongKong and Guangdong it's a popular fish

And this place turned out to be one of a few places which sells the eel claypot rice.

How was the trip to China?

Oh it was great.

Xi'an is really awesome.

Oh my brother was in Xi'an too

What did he do?

He was an exchange student. / Oh really?

Yeah lots of people go there.

They have many universities.

Isn't it countryside?

No way!

The population is 13 millions

Really? My brother didn't like it cause he said it's in the countryside.

Oh it's very developed. When was he there?

Like 3 years ago.

I heard there's 3 million increase in population over the past ten years

This is the spicy pig ear.

You can also get this in Daelim-dong in Korea.

Tasty! / Yummy!

The seasoning is very different

I feel like I've tasted this before.

Tastes similar to spicy acorn jelly

I can also taste perilla

They put sesame oil

and probably mala spice

Do you eat cilantro?

Yeah I do.

What about you?

Oh yeah.

There are many people who can't eat cucumber

Yeah it's like an allergy

Where is Guangdong in China?

Near Hongkong

What's this?

This is the changfen

Look it's wrinkly

unlike the one in dimsum restaurants

But this is how it looks like in Guangdong

And we pour soy sauce mix like this.

it's totally 'bu meok'

(There is an old debate whether it's best to pour sauce on top ('bu meok') or dip food in the sauce('Jjik meok') in Korean culture)

Boom up?

Ah 'bu meok'

I thought you said 'boom up'

You can also add eggs

or shredded cabbage

And there's a special steamer that is a metal drawer

You put the batter mix and ingredient in the drawer

and when steamed you roll it with a scraper

ah that's why it wrinkles.

Here we have today's star

Chinese like to keep the head all the time

They pack seasoned sticky rice between the skin and meat and deep fry it

If you look at the rice you'll see tiny fish bones. I think the sauce is fish based.

Let's eat.

There are also small sausage pieces

Yeah it has a lot of stuff.

and this one is not cheap. it's $50 something (59.99)

cheaper than I thought

considering the labor it takes

The rice looks really good.

It's seasoned with duck fat

Oh the skin is really crunchy

Damn it's so good.

I see shrimps too.

It has many layers of flavor.

I think this is a good Christmas dish.

Or for Thanksgiving day

This is just stir-fry veggie

Bao zai fan

Bao zai fan

it's not as impressive after the duck

It also comes in an individual plate when you order a small portion.

That's gonna go well with the soup we had

But this one is delicious too

Yeah for real.

Ah is this the Chinese sausage?

yup

show it to the camera

It tastes similar to Chinese jerky I had

How's the duck?

It's great. Do you wanna try some?

Oh I am too full.

So are these all Guangdong style?

yup

What's the characteristic of Guangdong food?

Not spicy.

Although we didn't order any it's heavily seafood based

It's soy sauce based with mild sweetness

I miss the Korean style roast duck where they stuff the duck with a lot of different ingredients

Figs, sweet potato, chestnut..

And they put it inside clay and bake it

It's good that we ordered some veggie

Shall I try the duck brain?

For real?

Ew look how he's picking it.

Do you think I should blur this?

It doesn't taste very special

What if there are germs

well it's cooked

Chinese looooove animal heads

I was in Chengdu, Sichuan

I didn't know but Shu Han(蜀漢) was Sichuan

(*The ancient Kingdom in Asian equivalent to Iliad)

I visited Liu Bei(the emperor of Shu Han)'s tomb as well

That's what's fun about China

I heard Sichuan has a lot of Sanguozhi(三國志-The novel) related spots.

And marinated rabbit heads is a popular snack there

Rabbit heads?

Yeah

Without fur?

Skinned

Does it have brain as well?

Probably

Marinated?

Yeah with ma-la

You can get them in the airport too

They vacuum seal it for you.

What does it taste like?

I didn't try

why?

I don't think rabbit is tasty

I wasn't like this when I was younger

But I need some quiet time of my own after I became 30

Yeah everyone around me is like that

except me

I can spend time alone

but not quietly?

I don't think I've ever longed for it.

I can spend time alone but

Maybe you are still young at heart

I think I am just outgoing

A friend told me that I am a shy introvert

*a shy extrovert

Ah right.

If being with someone drains your energy you are an introvert

if not you are an extro

I don't think there are extros around me

And I tend to get along better with intros

And I exploit friends when I hang out with them.

(nodding)

You are so swampy

I call one friend every weekend to hang out

until he gets sick of me

So I have a batch of friends

so that I can rotate them when one worn out

You gotta slow down a bit

Eventually he gets recharged

It's nice to have a playmate for the lifetime

Yeah it's too hard to always searching for somebody to hangout

Yeah you need to have the same taste and the same style

- When I got a divorce I really struggled

Finding your identity after divorce | TIAA - Duration: 2:54.

- When I got a divorce,

I really struggled with my identity

of not being a wife anymore.

Because that was so tied into all of it.

I really had to shift in the realization

that I still am a family

even if I don't have a spouse.

- My emotional state is getting much better.

There are stages that you go through.

You go through a grieving period,

then you go through an anger period

and I think I'm starting to come out of that

at this point.

- When you're leaving someone or when a relationship

is breaking up, you're losing your sense of identity.

And once you realize that this isn't working out,

you need to find your footing

and you need to find out who you are

and what you need to do that's right for you.

- One thing that I hope that my daughters learn

from my divorce is the importance

of always having a backup plan

and never assuming that someone else

can take care of you completely financially.

- That money, no matter how small

or how large, that when things go south

you can get up and say you know what?

The food on my table doesn't depend on you

and I can walk out that door and I'll be okay.

- I'm focused right now on, as a freelancer,

trying to get as much income as I can,

as much steady income as I can.

- I was able to take my daughter to South Africa

to fulfill her dream of cage diving

with great white sharks.

I took her to Romania for Mother's Day last year

and that's all because of what I've been able to do

with my lifestyle blog.

- I know that I can do it on my own.

It's hard, I'm tired

but my confidence as a mom

and as an independent woman

is really high and I hope that my kids are seeing that too.

- I basically want to inspire people

to get the joy out of life.

Whether it be cooking dinner with your daughter

or going to the beach

and spending a day reading the book

you wanted to read for the past 10 years

and never found the time.

- Don't buy the shoes, don't buy the purse,

you don't need it.

You really don't need it.

Be more aware of where your money is going

and get a financial adviser.

But it's important to put one foot in front of the other

and know that everything's going to be okay.

You have to have faith.

If you don't see the staircase, take that first step.

You'll be there, you'll get there,

it'll be okay.

It's terrifying but you'll get there.

How to prepare financially after divorce | TIAA - Duration: 4:35.

- When it became apparent to me

that my marriage was, you know,

kind of on life support and likely going to be ending,

I thought about finances a ton.

Can I pull this off?

Am I going to be able to support

myself and my kids just on my own?

I got married really young, I got married at 21.

I didn't know myself very well,

I had not lived much life

and I also didn't know the guy I was marrying that well.

- I ended up starting a career in magazine publishing.

I worked for Rolling Stone, Us Weekly,

and Men's Journal for ten years.

I was commuting three hours a day door-to-door

and I was the breadwinner.

It was excellent until we had our son.

When he was eight months old

we decided it would be time for me to stop working

and maybe find something closer to home

and spend some time with the kids.

- I went from zero to four kids in four years.

So in the years after building our family,

I think I was just consumed with motherhood.

- We had what I thought was a great relationship.

We never fought.

We were always really kind to each other.

I was totally shocked.

- I never in a million years thought I'd be sitting here

as a mom of four, divorced.

- The number one thing that I hear people say is

I wish I'd come in here sooner to have this conversation

because I don't feel like

I made the best decision for myself.

- My husband and I rarely talked about finances

because it was never an issue to worry about.

At this point, I don't even know

what bills are paid out every month.

And that to me is so eye-opening

because how could I not know

what we were paying for electric

or for gas or for taxes and things like that

but I literally had no clue.

- I regret that I didn't have more ownership.

I regret that I wasn't paying attention.

You never know if you're going to be married forever

and I lived financially as if I would be.

- As you're thinking about your financial future,

you want to make sure that you're building

a good team for yourself.

- I didn't seek out any help

and in retrospect, I wish I had.

For someone to guide me, to say,

here's what you should do in life,

regardless of whether you're married or not,

here's how to protect yourself.

- If I had a friend in my position

or who I thought may be headed for divorce,

I would say, take an active role.

Ask questions if you're not involved.

Ask your husband or your partner,

What are we doing every month?

What do we spend every month?

I should have been submitting money to a 401(K),

I should have been saving,

I should have planned better for the future.

- I had to be really savvy in preparing

and then figuring out what I was going to do moving forward

and I feel really fortunate that I took the time

before I had my kids to have a degree

to have a career that I could fall back into.

Because here's the thing -

you don't want to be planning all of that stuff

in the midst of that life upheaval and a crisis.

You want to plan that stuff when things are okay.

And then, if the bottom falls out, you have a path.

- No woman should ever feel afraid

of achieving financial independence.

I'm looking forward to kind of crossing the threshold.

It's scary right now on this side of it,

but I think once I pull the pin,

and I start taking over the finances on my own,

it won't be as scary any more.

- You know, through the divorce,

it forced me to learn about my own business.

It has had me looking at my own future

and how I'm saving for retirement.

I know that I can do it on my own.

I know I can support myself.

I know that I can take care

of four kids competently as a single mom.

I know I can do it, I'm doing it.

- There's no reason why a woman can't emerge

from this situation stronger and more confident.

Divorce help: Building a support network | TIAA - Duration: 2:02.

- If I had that financial advisor,

I 100% would have saved money.

You're bleeding.

You're bleeding out, and you're paying everyone,

and they would've said no, no, no.

We need to stop.

I spent $150,000 in attorneys fees,

and that's insane.

The cost, it builds,

and if it gets dragged on

for years like ours did, it adds up.

- It's important to have a financial advisor primarily

to help assess the situation.

A financial advisor who somebody trusts can be truly

a partner in the divorce process.

The top three things I would recommend

to any woman who is considering divorce is:

One, to build a team of professionals.

Two, to assess her current financial situation

and that of her household. And three, to find a network

of others who have been through a similar situation.

- Once I knew I was headed towards divorce,

I did seek out some counsel.

I did a lot of online researching.

I did meet with a financial planner.

I met with my tax guy,

just trying to figure out what the best course

of action was.

I don't know how I would have done the last couple years

without the support of my girlfriends.

I really don't.

I have a group of just absolute trusted, ride or die friends

that I could talk to every single day.

- I'm very grateful that my immediate family is so close

because I'm able to lean on them.

- I really do feel like I was literally carried

by my community, which was a huge blessing.

Master the division of assets in divorce | TIAA - Duration: 3:11.

- I grew up poor and money always mattered to me

I've never wanted to wind up poor

and I never wanted to see my daughter poor,

so I always thought about money.

And when I saw a large part of our income,

may be walking away,

I started saving our own just in case.

- Having an assessment of the current financial situation

is really important as you go into a divorce,

particularly as it relates to splitting assets

and projecting future income needs.

- When he left, I knew exactly where our finances were.

We didn't hire a divorce lawyer

because we went about it very friendly.

We had a divorce mediator

and we already had a list of finances,

all of our assets, all of our debts,

what we agreed on when we walked into her office.

She said it was the easiest divorce

she had ever done.

- It's important to know that retirement assets

like an IRA or a 401(k) are always in one person's name only

and always tied specifically to one social security number.

Oftentimes one spouse will look

at the pure dollar value of an investment

without understanding the benefits

of certain tax implications

and withdraw options from those accounts.

- I had a sense of what our assets were

and I knew they were being handled,

I didn't know whose name they were in.

And they were in my ex's.

And so, in order to shift them to mine,

there's tax penalties

and all kinds of issues there.

The splitting up of our assets

during the divorce process,

I think it went as peaceful as it could be

but it was still really contentious.

- I bought this house because you told me

you were going to love me forever

and if you leave me,

I'm gonna lose this house

and this is the house that my grandfather bought in 1959,

this is the house my dad was raised in.

I had Christmas dinner in that kitchen

for my entire life and if you leave me,

I'm gonna lose this house

and you're gonna destroy everything my family's fought for

for 50 years.

And he signed on the dotted line.

- Some of the things looking back,

I've learned that I needed to let go.

If I had let go, I would have been

in a better position.

- While keeping costs low should be a priority,

having a fair and equitable outcome

should be the number one.

- Five years from now

what you're thinking of right now at this moment,

it's gonna be totally different,

so don't fight over the coffee table,

don't fight over the CDs,

it's not going to matter.

Everything that you do it's gotta be for your kiddo.

- When I walked away from my divorce,

I walked away in one piece because I had help.

My mediator helped me,

I was fair, I was transparent with my ex,

I gave him no reason to fight me

and it made a big difference.

- I've never wanted to wind up poor

and I never wanted to see my daughter poor

so I always thought about money

and when I saw a large part of our income

may be walking away,

I started saving our own just in case.
