(slow, dramatic music)
- My name is Diana Mitchell, and this
is a picture of my daughter Brooke Mitchell.
In July of 2015, I had the biggest nightmare
when my daughter came to me and told me she
was a heroin addict.
In 17 months, with treatment and trying
to get all the help I could, we lost her on January 2017.
Brooke was pretty much a straight A student, honor roll.
She loved to swim, she was on the swim team
for Northhampton for many years.
She was an avid reader, she loved the movies,
she loved the beach.
She was definitely an amazing person if you knew her.
We're dealing with children, and we're dealing
with parents that have never been through this before.
You have to have some compassion somewhere.
I'm sitting there blindsided, I have no idea what I'm doing.
This is not my life, this is not who this is happening to.
This is happening to me.
We're a middle class family, we work our tails off.
We have a good family, we have a good,
it doesn't happen to, you don't think it happens to you
until it does.
- Your child is a unique person.
They're a unique individual.
They've got unique things that are going on.
And you want to believe the most amazing things
about your kid, all parents want that.
They want to make sure that their kids are going to be wonderful.
Nobody wants to think that their kid
is going to be struggling with addiction.
- I think any difference you see in your child,
change of friends, drop in grades,
really isolating themselves to their rooms,
not telling you what's going on with them in their lives,
mood changes, being really angry.
The level of reaction that you get from your kid
sometimes is so out of
the norm and out of character.
And those are signs that parents see,
but a lot of times, they just say,
oh, they're just being teenagers.
Because, as parents, we always want
to think, oh that's not my kid, and it could be.
- I had started calling for treatment,
calling the school guidance counselor,
what do you know of where I can get help for my child?
This is what's going on with Brooke.
And she was absolutely floored
because she was an honor roll student.
This doesn't happen to honor roll students.
She's a good kid, she never got in any trouble.
As a parent, you have to listen to your gut feeling.
I knew something was not right
but trying to decide between a teenager
and trying to decide if something's wrong.
And addiction, which later I found out the specific signs,
but we don't really look for them
because it's not my child, couldn't possibly be doing this.
Oh, it's high school, or it's this.
So some of the signs were her friends changed.
That was the biggest one, which is the biggest sign
that everybody put.
But, of course, it was always explained away.
If your child's wearing long sleeves in the summertime,
you might want to rethink that.
If their tempers are flaring and out
of nowhere they're just, you don't see that person anymore.
Of course, once I found out she was an addict,
then I could decipher the difference
between the addict that was talking to me
and my daughter, and they were two very different people.
And I cannot stress enough to families to work together.
If Mom says, you know what, I think Jimmy's not doing,
something's wrong, Dad doesn't need to say,
oh, it's just a teen thing.
As parents, we know something.
I never in a million years expected it
to be this concoction of poison
that they're putting out here.
I call it poison, they call it opioids, Fentanyl,
you name it, it's all mixed together.
- I think the most important piece
is realizing that, as a society,
addiction is a family disease.
It's not just about the person that's using the substance.
It's about the whole family
and how their journey with their loved one
also makes them ill as well.
And so the whole family is in need of services.
And it's very easy to say, well, it's not me,
I'm not the one with the addiction.
But everybody needs help.
And as parents, I don't think we understand either
how closely we need to watch a sports injury
that could accidentally lead to an addiction
or a past surgery that people really aren't remembering
but the medication is still in the medicine cabinet.
It might not be your child that's possibly taking it,
but what about one of their friends?
I think we just have to be very mindful
about how we manage
the opioid epidemic and the availability
to especially our kids.
- Keeping your ears open, at the same time having
that compassionate, loving relationship,
open relationship, with your kids, is really important.
So knowing where your kids are going,
knowing who their friends are,
knowing who their parents of their friends are,
making sure that you have the who, what, where, why,
and how on a regular basis with your kiddos,
making sure that children understand your expectations.
Talk to your kids on a regular basis; it's so important.
One of my favorite strategies that I tell folks
when working with teenagers is go for a drive.
Teenagers don't want to necessarily look you in the face.
But if they're sitting next to you,
you can have some really amazing conversations
about what's going on in their lives with them
if they don't have to look you in the eye.
And so that has always been a good strategy
for young people and for parents.
- Having a conversation with your adolescent
and just frankly ask them the question
if they're using substances.
Sometimes, at that point, they're very honest.
And so then you talk about seeking professional help
because the biggest thing, we want to seek professional help
so we can get the screening and assessment
and the treatment planning so we can intervene
as quickly as possible.
- It's better to be safe than sorry.
And the sooner that you can begin to address issues
if they are there, the better.
It doesn't take long for especially an adolescent brain
to become addicted.
Brains aren't fully developed until they're 25.
So adolescents are particularly
at risk of making bad choices,
engage in risky behaviors, and think that nothing
is ever going to happen to them, that they're invincible.
- Know that no one else in this world
is going to support me but my parent.
And if you can't do it, find somebody else to do it.
Find a trusted family member, a trusted professional,
whether it be the Community Services Board
or another provider.
Find what works best for you and your child
because it's about survival at this point,
because once they try that drug, it's automatic addiction.
(guitar music)
- Well, I have my own history of substance use.
I am a recovering alcoholic, been sober
for a few years now.
And I thought I was done with everything,
and then in July of 2016, my little brother died
from a heroin and Fentanyl overdose.
And when that happened, I went and I changed my major
at school and decided to become a substance abuse counselor.
I'm hoping to make sure that Michael's death
wasn't for nothing.
If I can use his story
to help one kid not make that same mistake
or make one family not have to go through
what my family is going through.
He was 19, he was a cool kid.
He loved music, he really was a sweetheart.
He played football growing up,
started getting into guitar and just trying
to teach himself how to do that.
It's so weird him not being around.
And now I have a young one of my own,
and I go outside every night into my yard
and look up and try to talk to him and just be like,
ask him to watch over us.
And it's hard to
have him not be here, 'cause I know he
would've been an amazing uncle.
And I'm so sad that my son's never
going to get to know Michael.
It's changed everything.
Just life isn't the same anymore.
I just miss Michael.
(guitar music)
- So back and forth, through Brooke's treatment,
Myra would watch her everyday.
Did she do her work, did she do whatever?
She was in constant communication with her.
The amazing job that that woman did
for my daughter and the day she sent us,
hey, she's got the point, she did it,
she graduated, congratulations.
I could hear Brooke screaming through the phone,
just jumping up and down.
She was so excited that she had earned that.
And that's what they need to see.
These kids need to see that there's light
and that's it not always dark.
And they need to be shown it because they're already lost.
But thankfully, Myra Chambers and my daughter
and the Teen Treatment Center in Florida got my daughter
to graduate.
And she marched across that stage.
At rehearsal, the entire class stood up and clapped for her.
And then here I stand in 2017, and I've lost my child
because of a stupid decision.
- As a graduate of Hampton City Schools,
I care about you and your well-being.
I'm here not to check a box, not to make you feel better,
but to help you open your eyes and see.
Look around you, know your friends,
say something, do something, don't wait.
Don't think I'm going to get in trouble.
It's not about you getting in trouble.
It's about you saving your life,
your friend's life, your friend's friend's life.
Do something, say something.
(slow, dramatic music)
- She said, "I want to wake up one day
"and realize that life isn't as terrible
"as I've always thought it was.
"I want to feel happiness, not sadness,
"relief, not pain, love, not loneliness and hate.
"I could care less about how much money I make
"or how many friends I have, who likes me,
"dislikes me in life.
"If I ever want to make a change
"in the lives of others or in the world,
"I need to start with myself.
"Therefore, before my time is up,
"I just want to be okay again."
And she was working really hard at that.
So, in her words, hopefully we can make change.

Weebly Theater Page: Linking Websites and Video - Duration: 8:28.
Hey guys, just me and the dog hanging out today
and we're gonna talk a little bit more about Weebly. I wanted to talk a little
bit more about your theater page - and so here I am on Weebly
and remember you should also have - I'm sorry let me show - you should also have a
link to the play you saw. So how do you do that? Again I'm just gonna say that
I'm pretending I saw Pike Street at the Berkeley rep, and so I just googled that -
here's that info here - and on your Weebly site, when you're in edit mode - again
there's a couple ways you can do this: one is you could put another button. So I
could come up here and I could take a button and I can drag it here and again
if you click on that it gives you more options, so maybe for this button text I
want to say get tickets: Pike Street - and I should delete this - and then now for
the link oh again you know you have styling options here so you can make it
look the way you want to. For the link now I'm going to link to a website URL
and I'm just gonna come over here and I am going to copy the URL of this page.
Let me move this down so you can see me copy that and then I am going to pop
back over into my Weebly. I'm gonna paste that there
and I can see that it's there - so there's that. And now you can see I have
two buttons - there's my get tickets to Pike Street and Theatre research paper - so
that would be one way to do it. Another way to do it would be to drag a text box -
so you could drag a text box wherever you want it. If you put it in the wrong
place you can just drag it around, even once it's on here. So you can drag it
by the buttons and maybe you want it here and so you could just put
text here - get tickets Pike Street. And then if you highlight this and press
this little create link button, that will also give you a place to paste in
a link to the theater showing you saw. So you can do that. I'm sorry
going crazy here- and again that's just a little - big dog - okay that's just a
little paperclip thing here and so I did not save that. OK so there are
options here and the other things that you're supposed to do - I'm going to pop
back over here - you have links to some of the sources you use when completing your
theater research. Feel free to repurpose the sources you
referenced in your paper or when you were doing your research and you did
your work cited page for our class. You don't have to reinvent the
wheel here. So let's say I was doing the the Pike Street Theater piece and now I
need one of the reviews. am going to just go
Pike Street play Berkeley Rep and I'm gonna add reviews. Alright
and now here is a review of it in Mercury News, so now again I can
use the button feature and I can link this that
way. So that is an option- so if you want to do
your whole thing with buttons - maybe you have another button over here that's
like --- here's a button like you could say
review one or maybe you want to put the name of the review - it's up to you. And
again then you can hyperlink in too - just copy this and then
and I can paste it in and then it will be hyperlinked. so that's a
great option if you want to get fancy and kind of include visuals you could
also take screenshots of pages. Maybe you want to make this a
little smaller, maybe you want to take a screen shot of this so-
I'm on a Mac so I would go command shift four and now I can take a snapshot that
I could put on my page and hyperlink the image. So that's just another thing to
think about again I really want you to be making this sort of reflective of
what you think looks right on the page, so feel free to be creative there. all
right, another option is you might have a video that you
took or somebody has done a a video review, and you can also embed HD video or
YouTube links here. You again just kind of pull this over and that will slap it
down on the page there for you. sometimes that might take a second as it thinks
about it - and I'm gonna make a video in a little bit talking about how do you
spruce all these things up so they look nice together. But here we go -
it's like add a video to your site and so now over here I just googled Berkeley
Rep Pike Street YouTube - so let's go to youtube and
maybe you realize - oh here's the trailer for Pike Street. So now I can
copy this link here and then I can pop over to my Weebly and I can add this and
again you can play around with the positioning this way.
okay I'm back at my Weebly and now I have a video embedded right which is
like a little trailer of the play that I went to see. So just some options, things
to think about. I'm sure you guys have your own ideas and that's good too
Hope you all are doing great

Red Velvet Release 'RBB - The 5th Mini Album' and "RBB" Music Video | Billboard News - Duration: 1:04.
We talked about the teaser earlier this week and now we can enjoy not only the song,
the music video but the entire project as Red Velvet has dropped
'RBB - The 5th Mini Album.'
The visuals for the title track "RBB (Really Bad Boy)" have a spooky horror vibe and
see the five member group bust out their dance moves in a variety of settings from a pink
room with a checker-pattern floor, to a foggy prop-filled pumpkin patch with the
Hollywood sign lingering behind them. The members go on to escape wolves, pose inside
picture frames, and sing from low-hanging clouds. The EP features six upbeat
tracks which Billboard deem "Harmony-heavy, electropop."
For more, you can head to billboard.com and if you have any thoughts on the new project
or video, I'd love to hear from you down in the comments.
Until next time, for Billboard News - I'm Kevan Kenney.

The forgotten before & after lip fillers video - Duration: 4:18.
get those spritzers ready because we have another lip filler special
hi guys my name is dr. Sarah Tonks I'm a cosmetic physician in London glad to see
you all back I know last week I said that they were only gonna be two lip filler specials turns out I actually filmed more people than I thought I had and now
we've got three hurrah so without further ado let's go over to our first
patient who's actually a chap the men get lip fillers done why yes yes they do
and look at our good-looking lad over here
he's already gorgeous how can we make him even more gorgeous well he wanted to
get a bit more volume only in his upper lip everything else for him was
absolutely fine and I have to say I do agree with him if I look at his ratio
you can see it's kind of a bit off isn't it so we don't have that whole 1/3 to
2/3 ratio going on here we can definitely improve what's going on just
as an aside would I do anything else can't really see the lower part of the
face due to the beard but a bit of loss of volume right here on each side but
not too much bit of loss of volume around the eye in the tear trough area
and beneath could maybe do that I think everything else looking pretty
tickety-boo so let's go over and see exactly how we did it this is definitely
more of a classic lip augmentation because I literally just injected along
the Vermilion border I also did the middle tubercle and that was about it
that was it we used 1 mil of Juvederm volift boom in and out very
straightforward let's have a look at him afterwards didn't touch the lower lip at
all just the upper kind of interesting isn't it because that's actually 1 mil
of filler that we've just put in the upper lip so this is why it's so
variable how much you need to put in people say oh I'm really nervous about
putting in a meal is it gonna change the way that I look too much etc well the
answer is it kind of depends what your starting point is because it depends on
the santé change if you have a tiny very
very skinny lip to begin with if you put in a million of course it's gonna look a
lot bigger than if somebody's got a really full pair of lips and what's also
really important is the ratio between the upper and lower lip as well so with
him we had plenty of room to play with the ratio because his lower lip is so
full in comparison with the upper and there he is on smiling look at that
what a lovely pair of teeth he's got a next up another young lady very very
straightforward she just wanted to have the same but a bit bigger easy enough to
do if you note she does have a little discrepancy here in the cheek volume so
this side not quite as full as the other and that has an impact on the lip
position so this side of her lip is a wee bit lower and for this lady we did
some pretty standard lip filler again going into the Vermilion border of the
upper lip and the lower lip this is using Juvederm volift and I switched out
the needle to a 32 gauge needle and concentrated on the lower lip in the
central 3rd this is 1.5 mils in total and voila here we have the final results
same shape bit more fullness change the ratio slightly I'd say she was more not
exactly 50/50 maybe more 40 60 now quick look at her smiling there we are we've
got a little bit more upper lip show okay guys that's it for this week I hope
you enjoyed the video and that little injection there of extra lip filler join
me again next week where I've got a couple of likely lads in doing some
cheap fillers I'll see you then

Video of Chris Watts confessing to murder after failing lie detector - Duration: 11:58.
This is the chilling moment family killer Chris Watts confesses to murdering his wife
The Weld County District Attorney's office has released hours of interview footage in the case, including the moment he was told he had failed a polygraph test
Video of the moment reveals that Watts managed to keep his composure after he was very bluntly told by a member of the Colorado Bureau of Investigations that his answers were not truthful
That agent then began the process of trying to draw a confession of out of Watts, who after talking for some time eventually shut down the interview and demanded to see his father
Watts then confessed to killing Shanann to his dad Ronnie, who stayed in the interrogation room as the two agents returned and rubbed his son's back while he told them he had murdered his wife
At that time, Watts denied killing daughters Bella and Celeste, a crime he would not admit to until entering his plea deal at the Weld County Courthouse more then two months after the senseless murders
'It is completely clear that you were not honest during the testing,' agent Tammy Lee tells Watts in the video
'And I think you already know that. You did not pass the polygraph test.'Prior that that Agent Lee was seen with Watts in a video discussing his family and relationship with wife Shanann, whom he spoke about in the past tense despite her body having not be discovered at that time
'It honestly just makes me sick to my stomach because this is something that I would never do,' said Watts the day before the polygraph
'There's no way I would harm anybody in my family at all. I am telling you the absolute truth
'After being told he had failed the text, Watts at first replied 'OK,' before adding: 'I didn't…I didn't lie to you on that polygraph…I promise

'If I could have my babies back home right now, I would…I want them back…I want everybody back…that is the God's honest truth,' said Watts
He then revealed that he had cheated on Shanann, a fact that investigators had already been alerted to by a superior at his workplace, who was in the process of sending authorities emails between Watts and Nichol Kessinger
Agents then tried a different approach, pointing out that Watts' father had flown across the country to be with him and was in the lobby
Watts was then asked if he really wanted to lie to his father. This tactic proved to work, and soon Watts was requesting that he be able to speak to his father
Agents then informed Ronnie that he would be recorded and filmed if he went into the room with his son, which he acknowledged at the time
Ronnie was not prepared however to hear what he did, with Watts soon telling his father that he killed Shanann
'Oh my God,' says Ronnie, dropping his head into his hands.'She hurt them,' Watts told his father
'And then I killed her.'Watts then told agents a similar story, claiming that Shanann choked the girls to death and he killed her after witnessing the act
'The evil that I saw when I walked behind Shanann when she was [choking daughter Celeste],' said Watts
'I didn't know what to do. I didn't know what to (expletive) do. None of this made sense!'That too turned out to be a lie
In the lead up to the tragic murders, Watts had taken his daughters to a birthday party on the afternoon of Sunday, August 12
While Bella and Celeste played in the pool, their father started texting co-worker Kodi Roberts
At 5.06pm that evening, Watts set in motion his plan for disposing of his wife and daughters' bodies
He texted Roberts that he would be making the drive out to one of the more distant oil fields that was managed by his company, Anadarko Petroleum Corporation, the following day
It is the same location where the bodies of his family members were discovered.Watts, per his own admission in interviews with law enforcement officials, then took his daughters home, gave them both showers, fed them pizza and got them each a snack before putting them to bed
He noted that both girls were eager to see their mother, who was due to return home later that night
Shanann's father was one of the last people to see the girls, revealing he spoke to them on FaceTime on Sunday evening
Frank Rzucek stated in an interview with police that he spoke with both Watts and Bella, who was eating cold pizza and candy
He made no mention of seeing Celeste.Watts claimed that he put the girls down before 8pm and that Bella woke up twice, running out to ask when her mom would be returning home
He admitted to assuring his daughter that she would see her mother in the morning
A babysitter, who was the sister of the birthday boy whose party Watts and the girls attended that Sunday, also spoke with an agent with the Colorado Bureau of Investigation
She said that Saturday Watts had asked her to mind the children while he attended a Rockies game
It was later revealed that he was actually on a date with his mistress, Nichol Kessinger
The babysitter said that while watching the girls, Shannan called at 7.50pm to check on the children while she was away and later posted a photo
Watts set up the babysitter the night before by texting her father, stating: 'Do you think McKenna is available to watch the girls for a few hours tomorrow night? I won a raffle at work for a Rockies game
lt's with people I don't know from work, but I haven't been to a game in a while where the kids aren't involved and only last an inning lol
'The babysitter did have a different version of events as to what happened the following day though, saying that Watts left the party much earlier than he told authorities
Watts has been sentenced to life in prison for of slaying his pregnant wife Shanann along with their two daughters Bella, four, and Celeste, three, and their unborn son Nico
He pleaded guilty to killing his family on the night of August 12 in their in Frederick, Colorado home
Watts then dumped their bodies in oil he had access to at the company he worked for
