I have never forgotten my own salvation experience.
The truth is, I cry quite often
when I think about how I was and
what God did for me, and it has been over 40 years.
And I want the whole world to experience that. So the most important
thing that we can do, is see people come to Christ,
come into a living relationship with Jesus,
and then to help them grow.
Always before I come to Europe, or anywhere
I'm going to speak, I spend time
praying, and getting quiet before God,
and listening. Jesus said, when the Holy Spirit comes,
He will speak.
I pray, do my best, and trust God to do His part.
We have a meeting tonight. I'm going to talk about
how sometimes we tend to limit God
in our lives. We do it as individuals,
sometimes we do it as churches, and God always wants to do
much more.
We had a great meeting in Wiesbaden.
We had a packed house. 80 people
came forward to commit their lives to Christ.
I've been able to meet a lot of people that
found Christ in the past in our meetings or
watching the broadcast. And to see them
still serving God just encourages
my heart so much. It's what Jesus called "fruit that remains."
My friend, we're here for a very short time,
and then,
eternity opens up,
and it never ends.

Instagram's New Update Tests Horizontal Scrolling Instead Of Vertical & People Are Furious - News To - Duration: 4:07.
Instagram users are upset with the app after its new update! IG conducted a test, which featured horizontal scrolling on new feeds instead of its usual up-and-down scrolling! Users were so angry with the update that IG responded! Here's what happened! Instagram is on swift damage control after a new "small-scale" update went out to more IG users than expected on December 27! The update added a new tap-to-advance feature, which allowed users to scroll through posts horizontally, instead of its usual up-and-down (vertical) scrolling
But, the app soon found out that the update only angered users, which caused a firestorm of negative online reviews
"NO INSTAGRAM NO," one user pleaded on Twitter, adding, "[I] don't like the new way to go through my posts!! I want to scroll up and down, not side to side!!" Another wrote, "Wow I hate this, @instagram Why do you have to play with my feelings so early? I want my old scrolling ways back"
Other clever fans pointed out that "you can't hate your Instagram update if you never update your phone
" While that might've been a quick fix for the IG issue, we're not sure if that would've helped with the phone's overall speed and working abilities
Instagram has since issued an apology for its unexpected update. The new horizontal scrolling feature apparently went to more users than expected, which caused the social network to quickly pull the plug on the test
Adam Mosseri, the new head of Instagram, responded to angry users on Twitter and explained that the horizontal-scrolling feature was "supposed to be a very small test that went broad by accident
" However, it "should be fixed now." NO ONE ASKED FOR THIS @instagram pic.twitter

twitter.com/B68RdBbdy3 — julia reinstein 🚡 (@juliareinstein) December 27, 2018 If users are still seeing the horizontal feature, Mosseri advised to simply restart the app
He also tweeted, "Sorry for the confusion! Always trying new ideas, usually with a much smaller number of people…" In more replies to users, Mosseri added that Instagram is "always trying new ideas
" But, this one might've not been the app's best. Can you imagine if we had to scroll right and left to see Kim Kardashian and Amber Rose's IG pics, instead of up-and-down
Sheesh!

Thomas Willson, MD, Plastic Surgeon, University of Vermont Medical Center - Duration: 1:54.
Hi, I'm Dr. Tom Willson and I'm a plastic surgeon.
The thing I bring to the practice is a background in
craniofacial reconstruction, which I think opens doors to patients at the University in terms
of, you know, complex facial injuries or complex cancer, you know, removals that
need to be reconstructed, as well as kids who have, you know, facial differences
from birth that that would otherwise be going to Boston or elsewhere can be
cared for here at UVM and UVM Children's Hospital.
Our faces are the first things people see about us and everybody has something
beautiful about them but it's really really hard if your face is different
from what people are expecting. So I get to try to make people feel like
everybody else and and that's the goal. The key thing in my mind is not to try
to make people feel quote-unquote "normal," because that's not for me to judge. It's
just for me to help with their differences.

⚡Vectors And Scalars - Physics - Science - Succeed Lightning Video⚡ - Duration: 1:12.
SucceedSchool.com, learn to succeed. Vectors And Scalars. There's two types of
numbers you might deal with in GCSE physics; vectors and scalar. A scalar is
the simpler of the two. It's just an amount. The word we use for amount is
magnitude. Most of the numbers you're used to dealing with are scalars, for
example mas. If we have a 10 kilogram mass then the magnitude of the mass is
10 kilograms. Other scalars include time, frequency, density, volume, energy (or work
done) including named types of energy, power, charge, potential difference or
voltage, current, resistance, spring constant, and pressure. A vector has a
magnitude but it also has a direction. It doesn't matter what the direction is; up
down forwards backwards left right north south; if we have to specify any of
these directions then it's a vector. A good example is a force. We use arrows to
represent vectors. The direction of the arrow shows the direction of the vector
and the size of the arrow or the length of the arrow shows the magnitude.
Examples of common vectors include displacement (including extension of a
spring and wavelength) velocity, acceleration, force (including named
forces such as weight) field intensity (for fields such as gravity, electrical
fields, magnetic fields, and so on), momentum, and moment of a force. To learn

Colgate Connect E1 Review - The Apple Chosen Smart Toothbrush! - Duration: 5:47.
- I'm Andru Edwards and you're watching Gear Live.
I feel like I've started a lot of videos this year
with the phrase I'm a big fan of smart tech.
And it's true.
I like controlling various devices in my home
using my smart phone or voice control.
But hold up.
I was in the Apple store the other day
and I came across this.
This is the Colgate Connect E One.
Now you're probably wondering,
what is a toothbrush doing in the Apple store?
Well, it was in the smart phone section
because this is a smart electric toothbrush
with artificial intelligence built in.
It aims to use technology
to improve your dental hygiene
with its companion iOS app.
Now coincidentally, after I saw it,
Colgate reached out and said they wanted to send one over
for me to check out.
So, let's jump into it.
What is going on Tech Squad?
Andru Edwards here, Editor in Chief at GearLive.com.
If this is your first time here,
this channel's all about tech, gadgets and gaming,
so if you're into that kind of stuff
feel free to hit the subscribe button down below
along with the bell notification icon
so you don't miss any future videos.
As I mentioned today, we are taking a look
at a smart electric toothbrush
that has AI built in.
This is the Colgate Connect E One.
Now if you go into the dental hygiene area
of your favorite store,
whether it's an electronics store or a pharmacy, et cetera,
you're gonna see a bunch of different things
to take care of your teeth.
You got your water flossers,
you got your regular floss,
you've got your mouthwash,
you've got the toothpaste,
you got all sorts of stuff, whitening,
all this, but the one thing people don't do
as well as they should out of everything
is brush your teeth.
Now hold on I know a lot of you out there,
what are you talking about?
I don't brush my teeth,
I brush my teeth very well, thank you.
I'm not saying you don't brush your teeth.
I'm saying we learn to brush our teeth as children
and then we just pretty much continue to brush our teeth
the way we learned to do it as children.
That may not be the best way or the best method
of taking care of your teeth.
And listen, I felt the same way when I learned that fact
and I actually learned that fact a few years ago.
So when I went to the dentist, I said,
"Hey I need, I want you to show me,
"what is the proper way to brush your teeth?
"Because I feel like I brush my teeth the right way,
but I hear people don't do it properly."
So, they showed me, and I've been brushing,
it's a little bit of a tweak but I've been
brushing my teeth that way ever since.
Have no problems.
Now according to a study Colgate conducted
users miss over 40% of the surfaces of their teeth
prior to using the Connect E One.
All right, now before we get to testing this guy out,
it is time to open it up.
Inside the box as you can see here you will find
the Colgate Connect E One toothbrush itself.
You get an extra brush head
and the charging base.
The smart toothbrush maps out your mouth as you brush
and it keeps track of exactly where you brushed
and it will even provide feedback on what you missed
and how you can improve your brushing score.
All this information is available right in the app,
which connects to your toothbrush over Bluetooth.
If you connect to the app while you're brushing,
the app will even provide real time feedback
so you can make sure you hit every spot.
The app gives you an overview of your weekly average stats
based on duration, frequency and surface coverage.
You can tap on each item to get a detailed graph
and make sure you're on track with your brushing.
And what's more, you can even share your results
with your dentist to make your appointments
that much more effective and you can even opt-in
to Apple research kit integration,
which lets you share your brushing data anonymously
to help oral health researchers improve their products.
So obviously the app makes brushing a little more immersive
and a little more fun, especially for kids.
But what's even cooler is there is also a companion
Apple watch app as well,
so you do not need to have your phone out
while you're brushing your teeth.
I just mentioned kids,
the Colgate Connect E One is also very kid-friendly.
It features games in the app that'll motivate kids
to brush better and collect coins
based on their brushing habits.
The family mode also allows you to track the entire family,
so the whole group can keep up and compete with each other.
The app also keeps track of when you brush your teeth,
perfect for keeping the kids on track
and reminding them to brush twice a day.
The Connect E One has everything you need
to track and receive feedback on your brushing,
but it's also an amazing toothbrush on its own.
It uses sonic vibrations to provide the best clean
and the small rounded head is able to fit into any
spot of your mouth.
The brush has a 10 day battery life
so if you go on a trip that's shorter than that
there's no need to take your charger with you.
And if you do run out of juice,
it takes about 12 hours to go from an empty battery
back to fully charged.
The brush heads are easily replaceable
and you can buy replacement heads in packs of three
for about 19 bucks.
So went back to my whole love of smart home tech,
even my toothbrush now is smart enough to connect
to my smartphone, to connect to my smart watch
and give me feedback on how well I'm brushing my teeth,
which may not sound like a big deal,
but oral hygiene is a part of health
and when tech isn't just cool but actually helps
keep us healthier and more fit,
I am a huge fan of that.
So there you have it guys,
that was your look at the Colgate Connect E One
smart toothbrush with artificial intelligence built in.
Let me know what you think
in the comments below.
Is this something you'd pick up?
It costs 99 bucks, you can pick it up at the Apple store.
Apple store online, Apple store in person
and at Colgate.com as well.
Are you as big a fan of smart tech as I am?
Let me know in the comments down below.
I will meet you there for further discussion.
Don't forget if you enjoy this one,
please do drop a like on this video
and don't forget you can click or tap on my face
when it appears right at the bottom of the screen
in order to subscribe for free to the channel
so you don't miss any future videos.
Thanks so much for watching.
As always guys, I appreciate your support.
I'm Andru Edwards and I will catch you in the next video.

Beim Sturz von einer Brücke sind drei Touristen, unter ihnen ein Kind, im Süden Islands gestorben
Die anderen vier Insassen des Geländewagens - zwei Erwachsene und zwei Kinder - seien bei dem Autounfall am Donnerstag schwer verletzt worden, teilte die isländische Polizei mit
Sie seien mit zwei Hubschraubern in ein Krankenhaus der Hauptstadt Reykjavik gebracht worden
Der Geländewagen stürzte den Angaben zufolge von einer über dem Fluss Núpsvötn führenden Brücke, landete aber nicht im Wasser
Die Unfallursache war unklar, möglicherweise war die einspurige Brücke vereist. Das britische Außenministerium bestätigte die Aussagen der Polizei, dass Briten in dem Geländewagen unterwegs waren, konnte aber nicht sagen, ob alle Insassen aus Großbritannien stammten

2018 in Review: Advice From The Self-Advocates, w/ Anita Lesko, Jeff Emmerson & more | EDB 153 - Duration: 15:21.
Hi, I'm Dr. Hackie Reitman.
Welcome to this special two-part episode covering just some of the highlights from Exploring
Different Brains in 2018.
In this first part, we are going to hear from a handful of the inspiring self-advocates
whom we have featured.
Becca Lory
...For any young woman, or any woman, who has just been diagnosed with autism, what
would you advise her?
Read!
"Read" is my favorite thing to advise, and not everyone is a reader, and that's
why I was so excited to do the podcast because sometimes you need it a different medium,
so what I say is go find your tribe.
That's the best way, and I know I'll get flak for saying the word "tribe."
It's not cultural appropriation; I'm sorry if it offended you, but go look for us; go
find us because we're writing.
There others of you out there writing, speaking, doing podcasts, being available online, and
you're in the online groups.
Most of our community functions online.
If you're looking for the autism community, get on your computer; we're there, and that's
how we all communicate with each other, so get online; get some books; look for some
recommendations; you can start on my website if you want to.
I have some resources on there; I certainly have my writing and reading on there, but
I always say to people start there.
Read somebody else's experience because the minute you start to understand that you're
no longer alone and it's not just you and you're not the broken one, suddenly there's
hope, and there's the ability to understand that things can change, and it doesn't have
to be the way it's been, but until you hear other women's voices to know you're not
the only voice, it's kind of hard to push past, so get out there and do some reading.
You don't have to get involved.
You can get online and just, you know, go around and read; you don't have to participate
right away, but you'll feel less alone in the journey for sure.
Casey Seidman
What tips do you have for someone, like someone in our Different Brains audience who might
have Dyslexia or ADHD, or family members, what's the biggest tip you might be able
to give them?
Be very patient.
Be very, very patient because when you're younger and you have ADHD or some kind of
learning disability, things tend to come at first slowly, so you might learn something
you might teach a child or teach a nephew or teach a niece something and they may not
get it right away, but it might click in two weeks, so my advice is to be patient, and
if you're that person with ADHD or a learning disability, be patient with yourself.
It will come to you.
Not only will it come to you, you'll learn how to take it and use it as an advantage
because a learning disability, or a different brain as they would say, is not a disadvantage.
On the contrary, it's something of an advantage.
You have to think of it like Bruce Lee: Bruce Lee used to say, "Be like water."
Well, that lets you be like water, and that lets you take a look at whatever your disadvantages
and turn that around to your advantage, and that's my philosophy and that's my advice
to everybody.
Lisa Wood Shapiro
What tips would you have for people in our audience whether they're dyslexic or not
on becoming a writer and trying to make a living at it.
You have to have be egoless you have to be persistent anyone that's starting out to
write I would recommend Ryan holidays book the obstacles the way it is a fun book to
actually it's a great audible if you're riding in the car or something and the book
is really about some of the great quotes of stoicism like Seneca, a lot of his quotes
sound like they came from someone yesterday.
One of the things is if this for anyone trying to be a writer not just dyslexic right you're
trying to do something that you're going to get rejected you're going to have to
have a vision and afford to not have an ego about that and to see yourself as just a persistent
person doing work and action action action.
So I would say anyone that's trying to be a writer to kind of seek out that kind of
book where it really talks about its action that will get it done so you know when you
first start writing you might have this great pitch and you send it to the one person you
know that happens to be an editor or a writer at a magazine you want to be in.
You might not hear from them and you'll get a no and that might be three weeks of
your life and I would say you should be pitching constantly and assume you'll get rejected
and if you're giving someone a first look tell them, you know a few days goodbye you
don't hear go catch someone else if you think it's a good idea you'll usually
land it.
Also, so anyway so I just wanted to say a couple things.
Your loyalty should be to the work.
Pierre Marsh
For example, if I give you an analogy, a tanker would be a massive ship, needs a huge rudder
to turn it, to direct it, that's humanity.
It needs a huge rudder to start turning that tanker.
It takes about 2 or 3 miles to turn the tanker, but guess what's on the big rudder, a very
small rudder, which turns in the opposite direction.
Without having that capacity to turn in the opposite direction, the big rudder won't
be able to turn the ship out of danger.
And I believe that's where neurodivergence is.
It sits on the edges, the fringes, of humanity.
Think about all the entrepreneurs, think about all the people in Oxford and Cambridge for
example, which are neurodiverse.
This is something like 40%.
People with Asperger's, they're focused they can't stop doing, applying themselves
to a particular problem.
Think about the odds, philosophy, all of this is where neurodivergence sits.
Yes, the sequential people who run the administrations and the offices, all these types of things
are very important.
But they all work well in conjunction with all that creativity.
Jeff Emmerson
Now, here at Different Brains, what we try to do is to learn and teach positive tools
for people to use.
Now, someone who's watching this who might be going through a depression or has other
stuff going on, what advice would you give them?
Obviously it's case by case.
On Twitter, I certainly try to say that I don't have a cookie cutter answer of course,
but what I would say is that for me, because I've been there, the worst moments and the
worst struggles taught me, ironically, the greatest strength is resilience, almost like
baptism by fire.
They taught me to; they forced me.
You're either going to go all in and figure this stuff out, or else it's obviously a
much darker choice.
I chose the former, fortunately.
I would say number 1: be, and again I can only offer this from the heart, be gentle
on yourself no matter what's going on around you; it's a huge thing, I think.
I would always get into the racing, high expectation, high anxiety mindset, and self sabotage, in
hindsight.
I would say you're not alone definitely in this stuff.
You can go, remember I was 35 at the time, age, regardless of if I was 70 or 12 or whatever,
you can overcome; you can change the future.
For now, be gentle on yourself.
Don't rush it.
I'll finish with this: Like my wife said, it's ok to wave the white flag and allow
someone else to help you.
Again, the best thing I could have done, and that's why I'm here on this mission today.

What advice would you have for someone out there who has epilepsy, who's a female and
is thinking of starting a family?
I would advise them to seek out a geneticist and get information about their condition
and their family history just so they know what risks are involved.
I encourage them to look into the AED registry because I think that it's world renowned
as far as the information that they can provide but they need to know that you can do it,
you can have healthy children.
There are certain things that I had to be taught as far as once my son arrived people
with seizures have to be careful about using changing tables because if you set your child
down and then you have a seizure nobody's going to be able to keep the baby on the table
and the child is at risk.
So I had to learn to bring blankets that I could lie him down on the floor or on you
know a low settings so that I didn't have that risk when you're a new parent you are
not getting enough sleep and lack of sleep can be a risk factor for epilepsy.
So you don't you know you're more at risk to have seizures while you're going through
those early stages of having an infant.
So being aware of that and trying to do a lot of self-care and get as much rest as you
can is another thing, but you can do it just reach out for the resources and information
that you need to do it successfully.

I'd like to touch on something that often doesn't get discussed with people on the
spectrum which is: I want you to give some advice from your vantage point, your unique
perspective, on relationships.
Someone who's in a relationship with someone on the spectrum.
My husband and I talked.
He's autistic.
I think our most positive aspect of our relationship is our ability to communicate.
Now doesn't that sound funny for two people on the autism spectrum who allegedly can't
communicate?
But he and I, one of our hobbies with each other is sitting and talking with each other
for hours and hours.
On weekends, especially.
Even if it's hot out, we'll jack up the air conditioner and build a fire in the fireplace,
and then just sit there and talk for hours, like on the couch, my legs will be over his
lap, and we'll sit there holding hands and talking, talking, talking.
We do things together all the time.
We both love to cook, and so we rarely will go out to dinner.
We always eat at home and make it from scratch.
So we do that together.
You have to find somebody that you can talk to and be friends with first.
Because there isn't going to be any kind of long lasting relationship if we can't
be friends with that person and have them think to get along together and share common
interests together and just be able to sit and talk to each other.
That's what we think is a very, very strong component of the success of our marriage.

I'm going to be speaking down in Washington D.C. at a big event and what might you say
to inspire other people to somebody your age to encourage them?
I tell them be honest.
Be honest is the key.
Think.
Use your brain and think.
Shawn Smith
You know, I'll bring it back to "No one ever said being awesome would be easy."
You know, I know that I'm not for everybody and everybody's not for me.
We often feel like, you know, validation comes from people liking us and being surrounded
by people.
But I know now as I mature that that's not what it's about.
It's about being surrounded by the right people.
And if people don't accept you for who you are, they're not friends.
Find those people in your life that when you think of them, the value they add to your
life just automatically comes into your mind.
Those are people who are your friends.
If you hesitate for even a second, not a friend.
They're an acquaintance.
Find those people that add value to your life and who you are as a person.
Surround yourself with them and be that person for them as well, and that's where happiness
will come from.
It comes from within.
You're not gonna find it by trying to gain acceptance from other people because that
means you're trying to be something or somebody that you're not.

Well, one of my most fun and pertinent sayings is, "I am autistic for so many reasons,
but one of the biggest is to open the minds of society and help us all reexamine our priorities."
