I'm at a Premiere of a major blockbuster opening in London
but the stars here are not Hollywood actors
they're virtual characters in a computer game
I just can't believe how many people are here
just to buy a game
in the past five years computer gaming has exploded in popularity
I love playing video games
I play games everyday
we spend more than 3 billion a year on gaming
more than we spend on film or music
as a parent I often wonder what effect it will have on my children
its an imersive interactive cinematic experience
but is it too much for some people to handle?
When Alice Danton's son, Chris, started refusing to go to school
she had no idea why
Inittially we didn't connect it to the computer game playing
at the start
because it was just something that every boy did
and particularly a lot of the boys that we knew and
friends of ours
Chris had been playing World of Warcraft through the night
he was playing for up to twenty hours a day
once I understood that this game was online
I said, right okay the answer to it is we cut off the Internet. That's it!
and the response was just an outpouring of violence
he just went beserk
I just smashed anything I could see
that was the point that we started to really understand from a parental point of view
Gosh! This is dangerous.
In the U.K we still play mostly console games
but that's changing
Within five years the government wants all of us to have broadband Internet access
one inspiration for this plan is South Korea
the country with the world's most developed Internet Network
85% here have fast broadband and more than half play online games
but the government says it's created addicts
This is a book camp for Koreans youngsters addicted to gaming
Sang Uk has been brought here by his mom
Why did you send him to the camp?
He was too engrossed in the games
He would sometimes spend ten hours playing them
Bhens Uk says gaming has taken over Sang's life
He's stolen from her to play at Internet Cafes and his education is suffering
The Korean Government believes that 2% of Koreans 11 to 16 years old
are seriously addicted to gaming
I went to see the man charged to prevent the next generation of so-called 'addicts'
While gaming addiction is yet to be officially recognized as a medical condition
he believes it's real and is heading our way
I believe without proper counter measures the U.k will also face the same problems that Korea is facing
when games become more accessible through high speed Internet throughout your country
I've come to a major exhibition in London to see the latest generation of games
it's easy to forget the benefits and shed joy they could bring
I don't want to stop my son from gaming
but I'm going to keep an extra close eye on him to make he games safely

HOW MY SKIN CLEARED IN ONE WEEK - Duration: 11:03.
So I hope you can see clearly enough
But this is the clearest that my skin has been since I was about 11 or 12 years old
With the exception of when I was using creams prescribed by a dermatologist or taking medication prescribed by a dermatologist
Hi, my name is Kaylene, and I wanted to make a video because something life-changing has happened to me
I started taking a vitamin D supplement—D3 to be exact—
About a week ago, and it has cleared my skin in a week. I want to kind of give you some information
So that way you can decide if maybe you want to take a vitamin d3 supplement, and if it might work for you
vitamin D is synthesized by your skin when exposed to UVB rays
So if you spend a lot of time inside then you're more likely to not have enough vitamin d3
There aren't a lot of food sources that have it so
Sometimes it's fortified with it. It's not always from a vegan source.
Sorry for all the bright lights in the background they're pretty much here no matter which angle I'm in
no matter which angle I'm facing
I never really spent a lot of time outside as a kid, but I probably spent a little bit more time outside than I did in college
I have a very naturally light complexion so I was always
Well more aggressively than any other children, I was always told to
apply sunscreen because it would just burn me
I never had any issues with my skin when I was in high school
I was the kind of kid who would have maybe a zit here and there
I started using Proactiv for absolutely no reason
I started college. I went to a small liberal arts school in Tacoma, Washington
where it's really rainy all the time there's
Like barely any sunlight, I didn't have acne my first year of school. I was still using the Proactiv, but I ran out and
I was like I probably don't need it. Let's just let's stop
it wasn't bad at first. I just would get a couple zits cropping up every now and then which
Still that was worse than it was before I even started using Proactiv
Then I started taking birth control
I used the brand Lutera. Lutera. I'm not sure how to pronounce that
Which I'm pretty sure is not vegan, but I wasn't vegan at the time
So I wasn't even like concerned with it which of course I am now
so I was taking a birth control pill during the beginning of my sophomore year, and then I got the worst acne of my life so far yeah
and after the semester ended I went home
And I just went to the dermatologist and just cried like "I feel so ugly!"
And I did! It really hurt my self-esteem
I couldn't focus on my schoolwork because I was so obsessed with
The fact that I had these like pustules on my face. It was itchy!
It was itchy, it hurt
I would scratch them and like pick at them
And I never had an issue with picking at my zits before because they were never like this
my doctor prescribed me with Epiduo cream and a pill called doxycycline which
Doxycycline I'm not sure how to pronounce that one either
That made me nauseous, so he prescribed me with Oracea
Which is still doxycycline, but it's a lighter dose
I was using that cream and I was taking that pill every single day and
It made my skin looked amazing after about a month
Every time I would run low on my cream or my pills
You could see
That my acne would not get really bad like it was, but it would it would start to crop up again
Which is kind of annoying because this cream is not cheap.
It's least $100. The one that I was most recently prescribed was I think $200 or $300.
which is ridiculous.
the pills are something like $30 or $60 for one bottle that would last me maybe a month or two
Which that is a lot of cash to be forking over for clear skin! I'm sorry, but like
It's really really really sad. I wish that someone had just said "hey, let's check your vitamin D levels"
fast-forward a bit I stopped taking birth control, and I instead got a Hormonal IUD, I was still not vegan so
the beginning of my senior year of college
I had run out of my medication. I'm pretty sure I didn't have any more cream either so my skin started to get really really bad
And I was vegan by this point. I went vegan during my junior year of college
um
I'm 23 now, and I was 20 when I went vegan
So I was 21, I was trying this like Raw Til 4 diet
I was eating tons of fruit. I was eating really low-fat and
Actually, I was eating no fat
Because it would give me heartburn really badly. I think I was doing chia seeds
I had read this really great piece of advice from someone who was also struggling with acne
Who recommended chia seeds for the Omega-3 anti-inflammatory
Which is great and that really helped with my heartburn did not help with my acne.
It was, again, it was itchy
And it was worse than the first time that I had it.
I was wearing a lot of makeup to try to cover it up
Which of course made me feel a lot better, but knowing what I was waiting for when I would remove it later
It made my skin angrier. You know it was already pretty angry at me
and I didn't know why
there are no studies that show that acne can be caused by a hormonal IUD
because it's localized in the uterus, so you know, it doesn't enter the bloodstream.
I blamed the IUD anyway, and so I got that taken out and
For reference I have a copper IUD now, which is completely vegan.
Here I am just really really stressed out. Struggling.
So I went back to the dermatologist
You know got another prescription, my skin got great again
just last December I went on a Disney cruise with my family and
Um I got a little sunburned
Because we were in the Bahamas and I was not used to the equatorial sun and how much more intense it is there
So yeah, I got a little sunburned, but I noticed my sleeping habits were better, and so I thought
"Oh, maybe I might have a slight vitamin D deficiency, and the sunlight kind of helped reset my circadian rhythm"
so I went to my just general practitioner
And we did a blood test and turns out I did have a vitamin D deficiency. She said take 1000 IU a day of vitamin d3.
and so I started doing that but
I didn't do it consistently and because I didn't see results so I wasn't very excited about it.
I started to lay in the sun almost every single day of the week. It was getting nice and warm
I'm gonna put some links in the description. I am NOT a doctor. This is just what I did um
like liable to myself only so yeah
I was laying in the sun for half the amount of time it would take for my skin to burn
which it's kind of hard to know exactly how long that is
What I started with was laying down in a bikini with as much skin exposed as possible for 15 minutes on each side
It cleared my skin too!
Which was great and I was worried that as soon as it was no longer warm that my acne was gonna get bad again
My mental health was gonna get bad again
And then just a lot of things were gonna get bad again because I wouldn't be getting sun
I had thought that, because I had already tried the vitamin D supplement, that I was having absorption problems
that wasn't true at all
The Vitamin D Council's recommendation for vitamin D is between 5,000 and 10,000 IU per day
Just for reference, toxicity is if you take 40,000 IU a day for a month
So I've been taking 6,000 a day for the first slightly over a week
It was pretty much immediate. Like maybe after a day or two I stopped getting breakouts
Which was just amazing because I have been getting breakouts every day even with my cream.
I was just kind of blown away
I guess doctors don't have the most up-to-date research on vitamin D
They don't realize how important it is for so many vital functions in your body
including your skin just not making you want to scratch it all off
I recommend that if you're going to take a vitamin supplement that you pick one that is vegan
If you would like to know the brand of the one that I take please send me a message because I'm not trying to give anyone free advertising
And make sure it's d3.
Vitamin D3 is the one that comes from the sun there are other vitamin Ds that do not
Also my skin is much better now that I'm actually taking the supplement rather than just relying on the sunlight because
Possibly I wasn't laying out there long enough to get all the vitamin D I needed
But with the vitamin D supplement, I am definitely getting enough vitamin D
Ao all the little bumps that you can see are just like little zits that I had before that are healing I
I had. Okay, I had one breakout
On... it was Tuesday or Wednesday last week
Because I skipped taking vitamin D for one day
Because I was getting a bunch of headaches
And I wasn't sure if taking it in such a high dose was causing it
So then after that day, I started taking each, pill which is 2000 IU
I spread them out, so I was taking them all at separate times, and the headaches haven't come back
I have a cold right now, so I do have a headache, but that's unrelated to the vitamin D. But yeah, so
All of these, like, before I had just a ton of them just really bulgy, but they're all healing.
My chin is always really bad, but now it's perfect and
I'm just
I'm just really happy.

Trump Embarassed By Election Loss - Duration: 14:23.
AN ELECTION HAPPENED LAST NIGHT, OR YESTERDAY, IN ALABAMA
AND THE RESULTS HAVE INFURIATED DONALD TRUMP, MOSTLY BECAUSE HE
DECIDED TO BACK THE ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE AS
OPPOSED TO THE ANTIESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE, AND NOW SOME ARE
WONDERING WHETHER OR NOT IT WILL HURT HIM POLITICALLY.
BUT THE
INDIVIDUAL WHO DID GET ELECTED FOR THE ALABAMA SENATE SEAT THAT
HAS BEEN VACATED BY JEFF SESSIONS IS ROY MOORE, AND EVEN
THOUGH HE'S CONSIDERED ANTIESTABLISHMENT HE'S PRETTY
TERRIBLE.
ROY MOORE ONE AGAINST LUTHER STRANGE, THAT WAS THE
CANDIDATE DONALD TRUMP VERY PUBLICLY ENDORSED, AND HE DID SO
ON SOCIAL MEDIA, ALTHOUGH YOU WON'T FIND THOSE TWEETS TODAY
BECAUSE TRUMP HAS SINCE DELETED THEM.
LET ME GIVE YOU THE
DETAILS OF WHAT OCCURRED.
FIRST BEFORE THE ELECTION DONALD TRUMP
FELT THAT MAYBE SUPPORTING LUTHER STRANGE WAS NOT A GOOD
IDEA.
ACCORDING TO UNNAMED SOURCES THAT SPOKE TO THE PRESS
--
KEEP IN MIND THAT MITCH MCCONNELL WAS URGING TRUMP TO
BACK STRANGE AND THERE WERE OTHERS WHO HAVE BEEN PART OF THE
GOP FOR A WHILE WHO ALSO ENCOURAGED TRUMP TO DO SO, AND
IT MIGHT HURT HIM --
AFTER THE ELECTION THESE SOURCES INDICATED TRUMP WAS
EXTREMELY UPSET --
BANNON WAS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF ROY MOORE, SO THERE'S A LITTLE
BIT OF AN ISSUE THERE AS WELL --
SO TRUMP DID DELETE HIS TWEETS WHERE HE WAS ENDORSING STRANGE,
WE WILL GET TO THAT BUT I WANT TO OPEN IT UP.
BIKES MICHAEL,
YOU ARE THE POLITICAL ANALYST..
THAT'S RIGHT, I'M THE POLITICAL ANALYST.
I DON'T SEE
ANYTHING SORT OF -- OF COURSE HE WOULD BE MAD HE BACKED THE LOSER
BECAUSE THAT IS DONALD TRUMP.
HE BACK STRANGE, THIS IS MORE ON
MITCH MCCONNELL THAN IT IS ON DONALD TRUMP IN TERMS OF THE MUD
IN THE FACE HERE.
DONALD TRUMP WHEN HE WAS DOWN IN HUNTSVILLE
FOR A RALLY LAST WEEK EVEN SAID MAYBE I MADE A MISTAKE HERE WHEN
HE SAW THE LACK OF ENTHUSIASM -- HE SAID IT OUT LOUD ON AN OPEN
MIC, WHEN HE SAW THE LACK OF ENTHUSIASM FOR LUTHER STRANGE.
HE ALSO HAS NO IDEA WHO EITHER OF THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE.
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
THIS IS WHAT PRESIDENTS DO, SOMETIMES THEY DO BACK PEOPLE
THEY ARE CRAZY ABOUT IN PRIMARIES BECAUSE THAT SENATOR
OR CONGRESSPERSON HAS BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THEIR AGENDA.
I THINK WHAT NO ONE IS SAYING, WHICH EVERY GOP SERIOUS -- IF
THERE ARE ANY LEFT -- EVERY SERIOUS GOP OPERATIVE AND
OFFICER OF THE PARTY, FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM, AND THERE ARE
BETTER TERMS, ROY MOORE IS A LUNATIC WHOSE ASSOCIATION WITH
THE GOP HURTS THE GOP BRAND AND THEY WERE AFRAID OF THAT.
LUTHER
STRANGE'S GREATEST CLAIM TO FAME, OTHER THAN HAVING AS
BADASS A NAME AS ANY U.S. SENATOR HAS EVER HAD, WAS THAT
HE WASN'T ROY MOORE.
HIS BIGGEST CLAIM TO FAME WAS THAT HE WILL FOREVER STILL
BE THE TALLEST MAN EVER TO SERVE IN THE U.S.
SENATE.
HE'S LIKE 6'8".
6'9", HE'S THE TALLEST MAN TO EVER SERVE IN THE WEST BANK
SENATE.
I SUSPECT WHAT HAPPENED WITH TRUMP IS HE WAS CONVINCED THAT
ROY MOORE WAS A DANGEROUS GUY, WHICH I KNOW WILL YOU BE GETTING
TO, AND THE GUY WHO IT WOULD BE EASY TO BLUDGEON THE GOP BRAND
WITH BECAUSE OF HIS OUTRAGEOUS ATTITUDES, AND THE NATURE OF THE
GAME AND THE FACT THAT THEY WILL INEVITABLY EMBRACE HIM.
WARD
BAKER AND NICK AYERS AND ALL THESE PEOPLE, EVERYONE TOLD
PEOPLE OTHER THAN GUYS LIKE STEVE BANNON THAT THE HORSE TO
BACK WAS LUTHER STRANGE, WE SHOULD DO ALL WE CAN TO STOP ROY
MOORE FROM WINNING THIS SEAT AND THEY FAILED SO NOW THEY ARE
EMBRACING MOORE.
IN WHAT ANA READ IS IMPORTANT IN THE DYNAMIC OF WHAT TRUMP IS,
IS THE FACT THAT STEVE BANNON BACKED ROY MOORE AND WON IS
WHAT TAKES HIM OFF THE MOST.
ABSOLUTELY, IT DOES.
AND THE REASON I BRING UP THE POTENTIAL
POLITICAL RAMIFICATIONS FOR TRUMP BACKING THE SO-CALLED
LOSER CANDIDATE IS BECAUSE IT GOES FURTHER THAN HIM BACKING
SOMEONE WHO LOST.
THE WAY IT'S PLAYING OUT IN THE PRESS,
ESPECIALLY RIGHT-WING MEDIA, IS THAT DONALD TRUMP SUPPORTED AND
ENDORSED THE SO-CALLED ESTABLISHMENT CANDIDATE AGAINST
THE OUTSIDER, WHICH FURTHER REINFORCES THIS NARRATIVE
PLAYING OUT IN CONSERVATIVE MEDIA THAT TRUMP CONNED IS
VOTERS AND ISN'T ACTUALLY AN OUTSIDER.
IT'S FUNNY TO HEAR
THAT BECAUSE YOU DO HEAR FROM HIS BASE THAT SEEMS TO SUPPORT
HIM NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES, HOWEVER PEOPLE ARE NOW STARTING
TO TURN ON HIM BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF LEGISLATIVE WINS, AND I
PUT MYSELF THROUGH CONSERVATIVE TALK RADIO ON A DAILY BASIS
BECAUSE I'M CURIOUS TO SEE HOW THE OPINION TOWARD TRUMP IS
CHANGING.
AND SOME OF HIS BIGGEST BACKERS, INCLUDING MARK
LEVIN, ARE NOW SAYING HE LIED TO US, HE'S MAKING DEALS WITH THE
DEMOCRATS, HE'S ACTUALLY PRO ESTABLISHMENT, HE'S NOT LOOKING
OUT FOR US, SO FOR THOSE ALREADY DRAWING THAT NARRATIVE THIS
WON'T LOOK GOOD, IT WILL FURTHER FEED WHAT THEY ARE STARTING
TO BELIEVE.
I HEAR YOU, WILL HEAR DIFFERENT THINGS, AND THAT'S
INTERESTING THAT YOU HEARD THAT ON TALK RADIO.
LAURA INGRAHAM
AND SEAN HANNITY AND STEVE BANNON WERE ALL GIVING HIM
INSTANT COVER -- HE'S GETTING SOME BAD ADVICE, HE'S STILL OUR
GUY, AND YOU SEE TRUMP EMBRACING THAT NARRATIVE TOO.
HE TWEETED
RIGHT AFTER THE PRIMARY WIN FOR ROY MOORE.
RIGHT AFTERWARDS HE TWEETED IN SUPPORT OF MOORE, HOWEVER I WANT
TO GO THROUGH HIS DELETED TWEETS THAT ENDORSED LUTHER STRANGE.
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 4, HE SAID --
BY THE WAY, HIS TWEETS FURTHER PROVE YOUR POINT,
MICHAEL, THAT HE HAS NOISY WHO THESE PEOPLE ARE.
HE
NEVER HEARD OF ROY MOORE, WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE IF
YOU'RE EVEN REMOTELY INTERESTED IN POLITICS IN AMERICA.
OR I
SHOULD SAY IF YOU ARE THE PRESIDENT IT'S HARD TO BELIEVE.
I WOULD LIKE US TO START PRONOUNCING "MAGA" DIFFERENTLY.
JUST LIKE, MA!
GA!
HASHTAG MA!
GA!
OR A SOFT G LIKE GIF.
LET'S LOOK AT ANOTHER DELETED TWEET.
HE ALSO SAID --
THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVORITE TRUMP TWEETS EVER BECAUSE
ONE, NO HE HASN'T.
HE'S BEEN ON THE DECLINE.
HE'S BEEN ON A STEADY DECLINE, AND HIS ENDORSEMENT CAME SOME
TIME AGO.
THAT'S FLAT-OUT UNTRUE BUT IT DID CONTAIN THE PHRASE
BIG LUTHER, WHICH I ENJOYED AND HONESTLY I THINK IT'S TRUE, HE
IS BIG AND HE IS LUTHER.
PEOPLE THINK THIS IS ONE OF TRUMP'S NICKNAMES LIKE LITTLE
MARCO -- LUTHER STRANGE HAS BEEN CALLED BIG LUTHER HIS WHOLE LIFE
AND POLITICS.
IT'S NOT A TRUMPISM.
SO THAT TWEET WAS WRONG ON THE FACTS AS ALWAYS, ACTUALLY
SINCE YOUR ENDORSEMENT -- IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE, NOBODY
CARED.
ROY MOORE IS A POLITICAL FORCE TO SOME EXTENT IN ALABAMA,
ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS PEOPLE IN ALABAMA.
HE WON 63 OF 67 COUNTIES LAST NIGHT.
REMEMBER THERE ARE NO DEMOCRATS VOTING HERE.
IN DECEMBER HE WILL WIN 63 OF 67 COUNTIES.
AND THE OTHER PART, NOW FINISH THE JOB, THEY DIDN'T.
THAT'S A GREAT TRUMP TWEET THAT IS NOW GONE.
THE FINAL DELETED TWEET SAYS THE FOLLOWING --
TOUGH ON BORDER!
THAT AGAIN HAS SINCE BEEN DELETED, AND FOLLOWING THE
ELECTION RESULTS TRUMP TWEETED IN SUPPORT OF ROY MOORE AND
SAID THE FOLLOWING --
HE WILL HELP TO MAYA!
[LAUGHTER].
MAKE JAPAN GREAT AGAIN.
IT'S A GREAT STORY, I THINK, AND MICHAEL WILL SPEAK TO THIS
WITH MORE AUTHORITY THAN EITHER OF US, IT WAS THE ONE OUTCOME
THAT GIVES DEMOCRATS SOME SLIVER OF HOPE.
REALLY?
THAT ISN'T MY READ OF THIS AT ALL, TELL ME WHY.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF MAINSTREAM REPUBLICANS WHO HATE THIS GUY,
WERE TRYING TO HAVE ALABAMA BREAK FROM THE STEREOTYPE THAT
IT'S A BACKWARDS, THOUGHTLESS STATE ABOUT A NUMBER OF ISSUES,
AND ROY MOORE'S FIGHT FOR ENORMOUSLY UNPOPULAR AND
UNCONSTITUTIONAL THINGS IN HIS OPEN DEFIANCE OF THE LAW DID NOT
SIT WELL WITH A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IN ALABAMA.
SO THE THOUGHT IS
THAT -- AND NOW HERE IS THE DEMOCRAT RUNNING IN THE
RACE, A PROSECUTOR, A GUY WHO IS LITERALLY TOUGH ON CRIME.
DOUG JONES.
I WILL TAKE 20 SECONDS ON DOUG JONES WHO I HAPPEN TO KNOW, HE
IS AN AMAZING GUY.
A FORMER U.S. ATTORNEY IN ALABAMA IN THE LATE
90S, APPOINTED BY CLINTON, HE SPENT -- THE FIRST THING HE DID
--
HE WAS A FEDERAL PROSECUTOR BEFORE THAT.
HE HAD BEEN THE ALABAMA A.G. AND ALL THAT, THE U.S.
ATTORNEY'S OFFICE WAS DURING CLINTON.
THE FIRST THING HE DID
WAS REOPEN THE CASE OF THE BIRMINGHAM CHURCH BOMBING FROM
1963 WHERE FOUR GIRLS WERE KILLED IN A CHURCH IN EARLY HIM,
AND HE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE, PROSECUTED 35 YEARS LATER, THE
PERPETRATORS OF THE CRIME.
HE HAD NOT THOUGHT ABOUT SEEKING
PUBLIC OFFICE IN THIS WAY BECAUSE ALABAMA IS ALABAMA, AND
THE MATTER HOW GOOD YOU ARE AT POLITICS IF YOU ARE DEMOCRAT THE
ODDS ARE STACKED AGAINST YOU.
WHAT HE IS ABLE TO DO NOW,
BECAUSE HE IS SUCH A FINE PERSON, IS TO GET A LOT OF
CONSTITUENCIES TO COME OUT AND VOTE WHO OTHERWISE WOULD NOT
HAVE.
HAD LUTHER STRANGE WON, YOU HAVE AN INDEPENDENT VOTER
WHO IS MUCH MORE LIKELY TO VOTE FOR AND ESTABLISHMENT
REPUBLICAN, I HATE STAYING ESTABLISHMENT BECAUSE THEY'RE
ALL THE SAME TO ME --
BUT ROY MOORE BRINGS BAGGAGE THAT LUTHER STRANGE WOULD NOT.
EXACTLY.
SO PEOPLE WOULD COME OUT TO VOTE FOR ROY MOORE WHO WOULD NOT
HAVE COME OUT TO VOTE AGAINST LUTHER STRANGE, THAT COULD HELP.
WHAT I'M WORRIED ABOUT IS IF THERE ARE MODERATE REPUBLICANS
IN ALABAMA WHO ARE JUST PATENTLY AGAINST SOMEONE LIKE ROY MOORE,
HOW DID HE GET ELECTED?
AND ALSO I'M CONCERNED BECAUSE I DON'T
WANT TO DRAW TOO MANY PARALLELS BETWEEN WHAT IS HAPPENING IN
ALABAMA TO WHAT HAPPENED DURING THE GENERAL ELECTION, BUT THIS
IS THE SAME LINE OF THINKING THAT I THINK DEMOCRATS HAD.
OKAY, THE DEPLORABLE PERSON JUST GOT CHOSEN BY THE REPUBLICANS IN
THE PRIMARIES, AND LIKELY THE DEMOCRAT ISN'T INSANE.
THAT'S A FAIR FEAR TO HAVE, BUT AMERICA IS DIFFERENT THAN
ALABAMA, ALABAMA IS ITS OWN PLACE IN ALABAMA FOR DEMOCRAT --
THERE HASN'T BEEN A DEMOCRAT ELECTED TO STATEWIDE OFFICE IN
10 YEARS, THE LAST SENATOR ELECTED AS A DEMOCRAT WAS IN
1992 AND NOW HE'S A REPUBLICAN.
AND HE'S A CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN.
SO DON'T THINGS LOOK BAD FOR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES?
THINGS FOR DOUG JONES LOOK TERRIBLE, AND IN FACT THERE WAS
ALMOST NO CHANCE OF HIM WINNING, AND NOW THERE IS, YOU KNOW --
A TINY SLIVER.
I READ TODAY THE DEMOCRAT BASICALLY IN A STANDARD RACE --
ROY MOORE, AS YOU WILL GO, THROUGH IS NOT THE STANDARD
CANDIDATE, AND DOUG JONES HAS A PARTICULARLY IMPRESSIVE RESUME
AS MICHAEL MENTIONED -- BUT IN A STATEWIDE ELECTION IN ALABAMA
DEMOCRAT GENERALLY GETS BETWEEN 16 AND 17% OF THE WHITE VOTE.
AND TO WIN YOU PROBABLY NEED 35% OF THE WHITE VOTE.
SO DOUG JONES
WOULD NEED BIG TURNOUT FROM BLACK VOTERS, WHICH HE MIGHT
GET.
AGAIN IT'S AN OFF YEAR ELECTION, IT'S DECEMBER, BAD
DATES, DECEMBER 12 -- MY ANNIVERSARY MAKING IT A GREAT
DATE, BUT OTHERWISE A BAD DATE -- HE WOULD NEED SIGNIFICANT
BLACK TURNOUT AND HE WOULD NEED TO DOUBLE THE WHITE VOTE.
AGAIN
I WOULD SAY THIS IS A POINTLESS EXERCISE -- IF LUTHER STRANGE
HAD WON WE WOULDN'T BE SITTING AT THE TABLE TALKING ABOUT IT.
AND WENT FROM A 1% CHANCE TO A 6%
CHANCE, BUT THAT'S A SIX TIMES BETTER CHANCE.

Originally built in 1928, the Uwakome Museum, or in English: Rice Museum, was actually Seiyo's largest school.
With a unique design, this 109m long school features one of Japan's longest corridors.
Entirely built of wood, and no longer capable of coping with modern school standards, Seiyo City decided to turn this unique building into a museum dedicated to Japanese rice.
If you've ever wondered how rice was planted, and harvested,
as well as how tools changed from one decade to another the Uwakome Museum has all the answers and more!
