THE MEMO Frustrated Trump looks to turn it around - Duration: 6:03.
THE MEMO Frustrated Trump looks to turn it around
BY NIALL STANAGE
President Trump is looking for fast action to restore momentum after his crushing defeat
in attempting to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act.
This week has already seen a flurry of activity.
On Tuesday, Trump signed an executive order rolling back some of President Obama�s key
policies on climate change and carbon emissions.
The previous day, Attorney General Jeff Sessions made a surprise appearance at the White House
daily media briefing to talk about the administration�s opposition to so-called sanctuary cities.
Also on Monday, the president announced the new White House Office of American Innovation.
Led by his son-in-law and senior adviser, Jared Kushner, the group aims to develop fresh
solutions to persistent problems afflicting American society.
But it�s an open question as to whether this burst of activity can help Trump find
his footing or settle jangled nerves on the right.
The failed push to repeal ObamaCare, which reached its denouement last Friday, was a
debacle even in the eyes of the president�s natural allies.
While some Republicans such as Speaker Paul Ryan (Wis.) are vowing to revisit ObamaCare,
there is no clear path forward.
Meanwhile, investigations into alleged connections between Russia and people in Trump�s orbit
are pestering the administration � as is the related controversy over the conduct of
Rep. Devin Nunes (R-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.
The next big-ticket item on Trump�s agenda is tax reform.
However, any push toward that goal will be subject to the same treacherous cross currents
on Capitol Hill that sank the healthcare push.
Executive orders repealing Obama-era regulations and hard-edged rhetoric on a favorite subject
such as illegal immigration at least give supporters heart.
�I don�t think his agenda has changed,� said Barry Bennett, who served as a senior
adviser for Trump�s presidential bid.
But, Bennett added, items that did not require congressional approval �are going to happen,
so [the White House] can shift the narrative when they desire, which is what they are doing.�
Bennett argued that Trump�s capacity to drive media coverage � and change the subject
when required � can be vital.
�It�s really valuable because it�s only Tuesday and we are not talking about defeat
on Friday,� Bennett said yesterday.
�We are talking about coal and sanctuary cities and reforming government.�
Trump has not focused only on policy since the healthcare push went awry.
He has taken to Twitter to blame the conservative House Freedom Caucus for his defeat and has
insisted that ObamaCare will �explode.�
Fueling the kind of palace intrigue that has surrounded his White House, Trump tweeted
a recommendation that his followers should watch Jeanine Pirro�s Fox News show over
the weekend.
Pirro used that platform to call for the resignation of Speaker Paul Ryan (R-Wis.).
The White House pushed back at suggestions that Trump knew what Pirro was going to say.
To some critics, Trump�s feverish level of activity has a negative flip side: an unwillingness
to do the honest self-reflection that might help him avoid repeating mistakes.
�He lives in a sort of reality-distortion field where he doesn�t want to acknowledge
that he makes any mistakes,� said Timothy O�Brien, the author of a biography of Trump.
�He very rarely acknowledges making mistakes, and I think that is largely because he has
been insulated from the consequences of his mistakes his whole life.�
During his presidential campaign, Trump often displayed a propensity to create the kind
of big news that drowned out his rivals.
His initial announcement that he wanted to ban all Muslims from entering the United States
came with the Iowa caucuses looming.
It was made within hours of a poll showing his then-rival Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) leading
Trump in the state.
Two months later, Trump again threw out the political rulebook and hit back at criticism
from Pope Francis.
Another Trump biographer, Michael D�Antonio, noted at the time on CNN�s website that
�even those of us who know him and his fighting mentality have to marvel at his ability to
find new battles.�
"If he didn't bounce back from adversity, he would be hosting �The Apprentice� at
the current time,� said Tobe Berkovitz, a Boston University professor who specializes
in political communication.
�He�s the maestro of agenda-setting, both for good and bad.
All it takes is 140 characters [on Twitter] and at least one or two news cycles get converted
to focusing on a new aspect of Trump and his presidency.�
Critical voices like O�Brien�s believe Trump is in a different world now, however
� subject to the intense scrutiny that faces any president and with the Russian controversy
lapping at his feet.
"The most dangerous thing, staring him right in the face, is the Russia investigation,�
O�Brien said.
�And all of his diversionary tactics haven�t actually taken that away as the central thing
that the media and Capitol Hill are looking at.
He hasn�t changed the narrative on that and, in fact, the response has been very ham-handed.
Exhibit A on that is Devin Nunes.�
But Trump loyalists remain convinced that he can bounce back once again, even when the
stakes are at their highest.
�I am still very optimistic,� said Bennett.
�We had bad days in the campaign.
Next day, we�re on to the next fight.�

HeatherAsh Amara - Feminism & Divine Feminine - Duration: 3:16.
Today we�re with HeatherAsh Amara and we are going to be talking about Feminism and
the feminine.
HeatherAsh, thank you so much for joining me today.
I would like to hear more about your thoughts on the divine feminine.
The divine feminine is about really honoring the female, the feminine qualities and coming
back into relationship of women as sacred.
Creating that connection again.
So as we talk about the divine feminine, we�re talking about the sacredness of women, the
sacredness also of these qualities of openness, of compassion, of nurturing.
So why is the divine feminine and feminism such as an important thing for us to be looking
at and talking about?
As woman, we�ve often been trained that we are not as important as men and that we
don't have as much value and worth.
And because of that, we've really subjugated ourselves to holding ourselves down.
And we do this to ourselves.
And so what feminism is, it�s saying women and men are equal.
It's not saying women are better than men or that men are bad and women are good.
It's simply saying one thing - men and women are equal.
And that is a concept that everybody could get behind.
So feminism is the simple concept that as women, we need to find our power again and
also honor ourselves as sacred.
Come back in to relationship with ourselves as a divine feminine and honor that we are
equal to men and in connection, in harmony, in support of each other.
That's really interesting because divine feminism is really for everybody then.
Absolutely.
This is not just for women.
It's not just for women and if women step up in a way of recognizing not �you will
see that we�re equal� but if just taking their power back.
Everybody benefits, children benefit, men benefit and of course women benefit as well.
So what we�re looking at is healing society, healing the whole, healing our communities
by bringing the male and female back into balance again as equal.
Thank you HeatherAsh.
Thank you.

HeatherAsh Amara - Empowerment and Being a Spirit Coach - Duration: 4:32.
Today we are going to be talking to Heather Ash Amara about Empowerment and Spirit Coaching.
HeatherAsh, I am so excited to find out more about spirit coaching and empowerment.
Tell me more.
We are in a process of waking up to the truth of who we are to our divinity, to our light.
And part of that process is around coming back into relationship with what makes us
feel powerful on the inside.
This place of the empowerment isn't about power over, it�s about power from within.
And spirit coaching is recognizing that in our lives we need support, we need guidance
and so to have someone or a group of people that are in this place of spirit coaching
means that you�re being held to being your best self and that the spirit is about coming
back into connection with the truth of who you are.
Rather who you think you�re supposed to be or who you wish you are, to come back into
relationship with this being now.
And so how would somebody know if they were ready to become an empowerment or spirit coach
and be certified?
We offer this great training that's called Artist of the Spirit, and it is a spirit coach
training program for people that are wanting to help practically support other people and
also bring in a sense of spirit as well.
And so for people that are called to be in service, and that also want to do their own
work, because anytime you�re a spirit coach, it�s not just �I�m helping you,� it�s
�you are having or getting to�.
I should say put yourself in this state that you want to present or support somebody else
in.
So what that means is you get to do even more work on yourself in order so you can be a
clear channel for others.
So throughout the Artist of the Spirit coach training program, we teach people how to be
leaders by first learning to be in good relationship by with themselves and to clear out all beliefs
and agreements in that way And so tell us a little bit about the process
of becoming a certified spiritual empowerment coach.
It's a twelve-week course.
It's online and what we�re training people to do is to do phone consultations and its
very dynamics.
So there's weekly calls, there's a tremendous amount of written material.
And we also have people then do one-on-one coaching with each other throughout the entire
program.
So at the end you have lots of practice coaching and being coached.
And for people that also are excited about being coached, there's a lot of different
ways and I really recommend getting a spiritual coach rather than just a coach because then
you have the basis covered.
You have the practical and this is what we teach, is how to practically take new actions
in your life and how to change your relationships and change your work situation and then also
how to bring spirit into everyday aspects of your life.
And we do a lot of work also with Shamanic energy work, teaching people how to begin
to create transformation on the inside through this very specific tools.
Thank you so much HeatherAsh.

coach you can go to heatherashamara.com and you can find out more.

HeatherAsh Amara - About Firewalks - Duration: 4:50.
Today we're going to be talking to Heatherash Amara about Firewalks.
HeatherAsh, so firewalking is one of the very cool things that you do.
Would you please tell everybody what is firewalking?
Firewalking is an incredible powerful way to come back into alignment with our true
self and it's the simple process of getting a lot of wood, burning it down and then making
the calls to walk.
It sound simple, but there's a whole technique that goes into it and I was trained to be
a firewalk instructor over 25 years ago, and the first firewalk that I ever did completely
shifted my reality because, and it wasn't just the firewalk, the firewalk itself is
incredible so we've gone through a whole workshop and I'm standing in a circle with about 40
women and it's raining, and there's bright red coals and all of a sudden my body was
like "I can do this".
And my mind saying "What?" but I knew without a doubt that I could do it and that was one
of the first times I really started to understand that while our mind might think it knows what's
happening, the truth is our body has incredible wisdom.
And I walked many times that night and then afterwards, I left my keys in my car and there's
all this magic happened around how we got the keys and freed the car basically in the
middle of the night.
And as that was happening I found myself in a state of joy and feeling like "Oh!
Here's an obstacle.
Okay, we'll just figure out how to get this obstacle figured out."
It wasn't a big deal.
And before I would have really suffered and struggled.
And so I recognized that at that time "Oh!
This firewalk thing isn't just about the actual walking on fire, it's about teaching us that
when an obstacle arises in our life, we can be creative.
We can actually stay in joy as we figure our way through it.
Is that the point where it really came to you that you wanted to be a firewalk instructor
and to teach other people how to be firewalk instructors as well?
Yeah!
About a year, nah!
It was actually a month after my first firewalk.
I got a notice in the mail saying "We're doing firewalk instructor training."
And my whole body said "Yes!
Absolutely, I am in!"
And my mind was like "What are you talking about?
You can't do this."
And then I looked at it again, "Yes.
I am in." and then I looked at the price and when it was due and I was like, "There is
no way!"
My brain said, "There's no way!"
But I was called.
I felt so impassioned around doing it that I ended up selling my computer at the time,
borrowing money from friends and doing the training.
And it was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life.
I've been teaching firewalks ever since then and I now also train firewalk instructors.
and so I'm one of the few certified Sundoor Firewalk Instructor Trainers in the United
States, and that's one of my greatest joys, is teaching people to become leaders and to
use this tool, and fire is the tool, it's about transformation.
So what could be more perfect than using firewalking to support people in changing their lives.
And so this type of a program that you're doing, what's involved in that to be a firewalk
instructor?
The firewalk instructor training is a seven-day process, where we do firewalks every night.
Where we learn the nuts and bolts around firewalking.
So in the beginning, I said, "Oh you just get some wood, burn it down."
It is so much more complicated than that because there's a specific type of wood.
The woods are different in all different parts of the country.
So you'll learn how to do a firewalk in Thailand versus how to do a firewalk in California.
You also learn how to do firewalks when there's snow, when there's wind, when there's rain.
And how to also craft a workshop that inspires people and empowers them to walk on fire.
And then also take that energy into their lives.
Thank you so much HeatherAsh.
Thank you.

This Guy Has Eight Passports - politics - Duration: 6:31.
This Guy Has Eight Passports
A few weeks ago I caught wind of a guy who has citizenships from eight different countries.
This �octa-citizen� has passports from Canada, UK, Ireland, Belize, Grenada, Dominica,
St. Kitts, and Cape Verde.
Let�s be honest� that�s probably way too many. But the concept of acquiring multiple
nationalities is completely sound.
If you have one nationality, it means that a single government has total control over
your life, your finances, your business, and your personal affairs.
It means that you�re chained to the consequences of that single government�s decisions, no
matter how destructive, no matter whether or not your agree.
If they decide to provoke another shooting war and impose a draft� or levy debilitating
taxes� or print so much money that the consequent inflation causes social unrest� then you
have little recourse.
A second passport is like an insurance policy.
Sure, hopefully you never need it. And hopefully you never need the fire insurance policy that
protects your home either.
But if that day ever comes when you smell smoke, you�ll thank your lucky stars that
you�re covered.
Having another citizenship means that if the worst ever happens in your home country, you�ll
always have a place to go where you and your family are welcome to live, work, study, invest,
and do business in peace and safety.
Again, maybe that never happens. HOPEFULLY that never happens.
But it seems risky to bet everything on hope, especially when there are so many substantial
risks looming.
We often discuss the pending insolvency of some of the world�s most important central
banks, as well as the outright bankruptcy of nearly every major western government.
History shows that countries in this position almost invariably experience severe problems
as a result of their excessive debts and irresponsibility.
And it would be terribly foolish to simply �hope� that repeating these same mistakes
will somehow result in zero consequences.
Having a second passport doesn�t mean that you�re crazy, pessimistic, or even unpatriotic.
It�s just a sensible thing to do.
Worst case, even if you never actually need the �insurance policy� of having another
nationality, a second passport will provide additional options for visa-free travel and
international business.
For example, US citizens who want to travel to Brazil need to obtain a visa in advance.
But citizens from dozens of other countries, from Argentina to Belgium, do not.
Being a citizen of certain countries (like Mexico, for example) entitles you to own certain
property or start special businesses.
Again, maybe you wouldn�t ever use these benefits. But it�s hard to imagine you�ll
be worse off for having additional options.
More importantly, remember that a second passport can often extend to your family as well.
So even if you don�t see yourself traveling or doing business or buying property abroad,
your children and grandchildren might want to do so.
Obtaining a second passport will provide those same options and benefits to them. It�s
a perpetual gift that you can give to future generations of your family.
So how does one actually obtain a second passport?
Well, you can pay for one.
St. Kitts, Dominica, Antigua, Cyprus, Malta, Grenada, etc. all have formal programs which
grant citizenship to foreigners in exchange for a large investment or donation.
These can cost anywhere from $100,000+ to more than $2 million� which is a LOT to
spend on an insurance policy for most people.
Fortunately there are easier (and cheaper) ways.
The simplest and most cost effective way to obtain another passport, by far, is to go
back to your family tree.
If you have parents or even grandparents from places like Ireland, Poland, Italy, Lithuania,
and literally dozens of other places around the world, you may be able to apply for citizenship.
If you think you might qualify, the best place to start is with the local consulate nearest
you.
Call and ask them� they�ll be able to walk you through the process and documentation
requirements.
If you�re not part of the lucky bloodline club, no worries, there are still other options.
Plenty of countries around the world allow foreigners to become naturalized citizens
after a certain period of time as a legal resident in the country.
Panama is a great example; after five years of legal residency, foreigners qualify to
apply for naturalization and citizenship.
This doesn�t mean you actually need to move overseas (but trust me, it can be an amazing
experience if you do.)
Many countries, including Panama, have favorable legislation where you can still be considered
a legal resident and eventually qualify to apply for naturalized citizenship without
actually living there.
This is an incredibly easy option� all it takes is time and patience.
As a final option, if you�re planning on having children, you might consider heading
overseas for the birth.
Most countries in the Western Hemisphere award instant citizenship to any child born in their
territory.
This includes the United States, Canada, Mexico, and just about every country in Latin America.
I flew some of my relatives to Chile a few years ago for this reason� their child was
born in Santiago and will be able to enjoy the additional options and benefits of Chilean
nationality for life.
This is literally a life-long gift you can give to your child; and it will likely pass
on to their children, and their children�s children, all because of actions that you
take.
There are very few things within our power that have such a lasting, multi-generational
impact.
Citizenship is one of the most important.

O QUE É O ATOMO - Duration: 7:21.
HELLOOOOOOEVERYONE
VINICIUS VINICIUS (that's my name)
WHAT IS AN ATOM?
OKAY, MOTOX
ATOM, SMALL, ETERNAL
AND INDIVISIBLE PARTICLES
What's up guys,
First tip of the day:
DON'T EVER TRUST GOOGLE
This is the second episode
of the show:
WHAT IS ...?
Click here to watch the first ep
Today's question is:
WHAT IS THE ATOM?
The atom,
I believe
it is an indivisible molecule
"TOMO" means division
"A" means denial
"DOES NOT DIVIDE"
ATOMO is an indivisible particle
WRONG, HE'S TOTALLY WRONG
BECAUSE IT IS DIVISIBLE
backgrond: (you idiot, I explained what
the word meant)
ATOM forms everything
that we can see
that we touch
all is made by atoms
atoms are composed by
protons, neutrons and electrons
That's it buddy, you are right!
Atoms are particles of matter
that compose mostly everything
around us
Let's think about
some examples of what
is not made of atoms
a BLACK HOLE
a NEUTRON STAR
or LIGHT!
Some things are not made of atoms!
A good analogy for the atom
is that of the building blocks
atoms group in, making molecules
which make compounds
that composes most of what is around us!
Including people,
lakes
rivers
seas
buildings
sharks
whales
ELEPHANTS!
ATOMOS
To have an idea of the size of an atom,
think about the width of human hair
here's a strand of hair
here's the length and the width
think about the width
in this width of a human hair
you can fit
ONE MILLION ATOMS
so, they are really really small
The atom's original concept in Ancient Greece
had it as indivisible
and the smallest particle of matter
that's not true
As some have said,
atoms are formed by protons, neutrons, and electrons
And protons and neutrons
are made by QUARKS!
Smaller particles
than the particles that are smaller than the atom
That brings us to the question:
will we ever stop to find small particles?
*joking* I'm sick of these crazy names
It is very interesting to think
about how these particles were discovered
the quarks, for example
which compose protons and neutrons
were discovered in HUGE
Particle accelerators
like LHC and FermiLAB
they work in this way:
they get two protons
and speed up them at incredible speeds
in opposite directions
in a certain spot
both protons collide
in this collision, particles emanate in air
and they take a picture of it
THE SECRET IS IN THIS PICTURE
in it, you are going to see a variety of particles in the air
and then you give a name to each of them
so, today, we know that
there are 6 types of quarks
the leptons
(a group from which the electron is)
and the bosons, right
but I'll cover that in another video!
All of these particles make up the
STANDARD MODEL OF PHYSICS
which is believed to be the elementary base of matter
but I bet they're going to find even smaller particles
Recapitulating
We have quarks
which form protons and neutrons
and we have the electrons
together, they make the atoms
when atoms bond,
they form molecules
when molecules bond,
they form compounds,
organic and inorganic
these compounds form everything
mostly everything
have you ever noticed how much I say "NÉ"?!
DO NOT SAY "NÉ"!
THANK YOU GUYS

wait, wait, wait, there's a special
explanation coming next!
VALEU
In fact,
you can ask a question to yourself
have you ever really touched anything?
Yes!
EXACTLY!
THE ANSWER IS NO!
You have never touched anything!
why why?
because
the atoms
the atoms have
electrons orbiting it
and, you
as you are made of atoms
two atoms do not touch
why?
because the sphere of electrons
where the electrons are located
the negative part of atoms
it doesn't allow atoms to touch each other
repelling!
they repel each other
that's why I am not touching this bag
this deformation
let me finish it!
this deformation
is formed by
the repulsion
of the electrons
the negative part of the atom
this is repulsion
I didn't touch it
It's just the repulsion of atoms
Atoms are considered to be the smallest part
of everything!
The atoms are the smallest parts of everything!
BUT
they can be divided into
other components
but that is not relevant to the current subject

HeatherAsh Amara - Toltec & Shamanism - Duration: 7:04.
Hi everybody! Today we are talking to HeatherAsh Amara about Toltec and Shamanism.
Hi HeatherAsh! Hi!
Would you please tell us more about what does the word Toltec mean to you?
Toltecs were a group of people that came together in South and Central Mexico. So, the people
know about the Aztecs and the Mayans. The Toltecs were a group that consciously chose
to explore together and the word Toltec means are the Artist of the Spirit. The most well-known
Toltec teacher we can say is Don Miguel Ruiz, but also lot of people know about the Toltec
through one of the first books that came out around Toltecs Shamanism, which is Carlos
Castaneda and Don Juan and those teachings. There�s many different types of Toltec Shamanism,
but the umbrella of Toltec is really about taking radical responsibility we can say,
for our lives. That we are the artist of our life, that we�re creating our life through
our perceptions. And that by using our awareness, we can begin to transform the old agreements
and beliefs that are causing us to suffer or limit ourselves. And Shamanism is practice
all around the world many, many different cultures. And what a Shaman is, it�s a person
who has the ability to go between the physical realm and the spiritual realm. And they�re
considered bridge people. They travel to the spiritual realm to gather information, to
get healing, to get medicine, and then to bring it back to their community. And I feel
like it's really important for us in modern day world to learn about different Shamanic
techniques and practices because the tools that Shamans use are so very, very important
for us today. So let's go a little bit deeper. And what
I want to ask about is Toltec wisdom. Toltec wisdom is the deep knowing that each
of us has of being artists of our lives. So, really who's the expert on our life is us!
So when we can back to our wisdom, what we�re coming back to is our choice. And I really
think about Toltec wisdom is about getting free. Getting free on the inside. There's
so many beliefs and agreements that we make when we are younger. For example, if you were
in car and you were a little kid and you�re singing really loud and you�re so happy
to be singing the song and your parents says, �Stop singing, stop singing right now!�
You might immediately make an agreement "Oh! I can't sing or I have a bad voice." But maybe
your parent was just trying to figure out where the ambulance was coming from, or they�re
getting a migraine. And even though they kept asking you please keep singing, you created
this agreement. And what you're doing is starting to create a whole reality based on something
that�s not even true. And we do this all the time. And so as adult, if you can imagine
this person, their friends come and say, �You�re 21, it�s your birthday, awesome, were going
to karaoke, your singing first!� What would their reaction be? They�d be like, �No,
I don't sing.� And so what Toltec wisdom teaches us is that using our awareness, we
can begin to explore and get curious about what beliefs might be beholding from the past
that aren�t serving us now. And it doesn�t mean you�re going to remember the exact
situation of like, when I was 4 I made the belief of that I couldn�t sing. You probably
will never remember that particular incident. But you can use your life to see where do
you have reactions, where do you close, where do you go into fear. And then say where's
the belief, what agreement might I be holding. And that then is the beginning of unwinding
that old belief so we can come back to freedom. So we come back to absolute choice rather
than being dictated from our past. Well, that�s really what Shamanism is, when
spiritual grace comes together, that�s using those tools together.
Yes, exactly. And Shamanism is a part of spirituality. It�s a type of spirituality that really
connects us to the earth, to the cycles, to dreaming - all of these things are very important
within Shamanism and also for spiritual growth. And as we use these different tools, as we
learn to capture our own attention, as we learn to begin to what�s called stock, which
is to begin to track where our beliefs and agreement are, then we begin to recognize
who we want to be. And not just think about it but actually start to live it. It�s very
exciting. That's beautiful. And so as a spiritual shamanic
beginner, where would someone start? What would be the Shamanic 101 that you would start
somebody in this kind of a path? I would start someone in very simply starting
to follow the seasons and the moons cycles. So the sun cycles and the moon cycles. And
why that�s important is that it brings us into touch with nature, which is about beginnings
and endings. And we tend to live from �I have to do this, and this, and this, and then
this will happen.� And the truth is everything is about beginnings and endings, and when
we learn to honor all of them, and that�s what Shamans do, Shamans work with the cycles
of nature. They know that sometimes we must honor the end of something and the letting
go process. And that is beauty as much as the beginnings are. So that�s a great place
to start. And another place is to begin to practice visioning and dreaming, to pay more
attention to dreaming, not only to dreaming at night but also dreaming during the day.
The places where you have insights or inspiration, or a sudden knowing. Start to track and listen
to those places of none ordinary reality when you�re more in a dream space and pay attention
to what those are. And often much insight and healing can come from that deep listening.
