do you do when you lose your job

I've been to the depths of hell with bankruptcy right I mean I played I lived

harder yeah they bulldoze it down and like the darkest moments in my life

occurred before I met Maureen and she like let took me and like a stray dog

but the reason I'm saying that to you is because I want you to realize it's those

scars that friggin make you it's those scars and adversity that have

how you respond to that you it totally makes your break makes you as a human

being and your future

the stuff we're doing is lawful it's extremely lawful my I believe it'll be a

my mentor Julie believes it'll be natural signs just like chemistry just

like the Sun going up and down every day and gravity goal setting you need a goal

throw if you don't have gold you're gonna work for someone else with goals

that exploit you all right like hat goals self-monitoring

second pillar like science-based pillar goal settings so something monitor like

just like you know how when you write down your list birthday already use a G

task and you scratch it down I feel good when you scratch it out self-monitoring

is all setting in self monitoring is reinforcing itself self monitoring makes

it salient that you're making progress

reciprocal frigging feedback like every everything your relationship to your

employees that you work with getting a real authentic genuine feedback not yeah

I like how everything's great I ask people you know they come in my office

and I'm like I've learned to get some thicker skin and I asked them I'm like

what's something I could do different like usually they don't tell me

but you know one hat works I say what's something other people think I should do

different dancers they can use that goal-setting self-monitor reciprocal

feedback and then look people just need to be I like to call I call it pay for

performance but it could be anything for performance don't just reward and

reinforce things that are passing time all right so we had a good good

presentation today the Latino Abba some good discussions pretty quick just

looking at the rock layers here you can see years and years of wear and tear and

there's my house I'm just kidding I'm taking a jog just to try to rush

stay in shape it's really hardest for me to stay out

on schedule with my regimens of working out and meditating and just doing these

different rituals when we're away but I try to force it to get out of my comfort

zone a little and force it to be healthy

so what were some of the things that you started to bring up that were concerns

that all of a sudden they crack down on you for well I was doing similar thing

to workers here we just wanted a fair process to organize a union for

harassment intimidation and but we talked about a lot of issues you know a

lot of people did get raises when I spoke out and so some people benefited

from it when you did yeah man a few of my co-workers were

fired but everybody else got we all got raises even me and what was okay now

what's an example of something they did that that was harassment or intimidation

a specific example that you remember well for me I remember I was talking to

a co-worker of mine in the owner of my hotel Shore hotel at Santa Monica went

up and talked to him and then he didn't talk to me for a few hours and

eventually he came up to me and told me the owner had told him if he kept

talking to me he would fire so they so they told people they weren't allowed to

even speak to you yeah that's ridiculous yeah

Back to School Outfits Try On Haul with California Crystal | Arizona Jean Co. - Duration: 6:16.

Hey, guys.

It's Crystal here, and I am coming to you guys

from the Arizona Brand YouTube channel.

So thank you so much, Arizona, for having me on this channel

and for working with me on these videos to bring some beautiful, summer,

slash back-to-school, Lookbook, fashion videos--

because I think it's going to be an amazing partnership.

Let's do this thing.

So I am Crystal.

If you are not coming from my channel, than I am 17 years old.

I'm from California, Northern California.

But we're experiencing heat too, so I figured

I would partner with Arizona Brand and JCPenney

to bring you guys some transitioning, like summer to back-to-school looks,

for you guys and for this channel.

You guys can find me on YouTube, at California Crystal--

and on Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter.

Literally all my social media's are IMCRYSTALSMITH.

And let's get into this video.

If you like this video, and you like more style videos,

like this, and be sure to give this video a thumbs

up, and subscribe to Arizona's YouTube channel.

I have literally been wearing Arizona Brand stuff

since I was probably nine years old.

And I still do, to this day, hence this brand, this video.

It's because it's good quality.

It's good prices.

It's super convenient.

Quality is amazing-- comfortable.

I love it.

These are my honest opinions here.

OK?

OK.

I've put together three looks with them, and I'm excited to share them.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

[INAUDIBLE]

And--

Why not start off this video super strong?

So I went to the sunflower fields, and I super-duper

loved the fact that they are in the next town over from where I lived.

So I got this black t-shirt.

It was super comfortable to wear in the sunflowers.

And it wasn't too hot.

And it was stretchy and good material.

And I like to pair it with that denim skirt.

And I thought it was a fun take on the sunflowers,

because I feel like everyone wears some sort of denim.

But I wanted to go with a skirt, instead of overalls or jeans.

I thought those made my pictures turn out super cute and super cool.

If you agree, that'd be great.

The skirt was super comfortable to drive there in

and to walk around the sunflowers.

And it just probably-- just enough coverage.

And it was still super fun.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

This next outfit--

I went to a diner and the parking lot next to the diner.

And it is the shortalls, these overalls pairings.

And I actually kept the same t-shirt that I was wearing,

because it was super-duper comfortable.

And Arizona have several black shirts that were similar, that I wanted.

I literally wanted all of them.

And I'm probably going to go back and get them

when I do a little bit more back-to-school shopping.

But I kept that same shirt, because I wanted to show you

guys how versatile these pieces are.

So I paired it underneath the shortalls.

And I got the shortalls in the size 5, because I've basically run

the same for all my bottoms at Arizona.

We love a consistent queen.

And with this outfit, I got these shoes from Arizona.

I thought they paired together nicely, and they were super-duper fun.

And they made me stand out a little bit in the diner, but I liked that.

And I want to go back to school being a little trendy, a little fun.

You know what I'm saying.

[MUSIC PLAYING]

Last outfit, I thought, was absolutely one

of the most fun ones, not necessarily to [INAUDIBLE] the outfits.

Like, I can see myself wearing this outfit all the time.

It was this shirt.

I'm literally wearing the shirt because it's so comfortable and so soft.

And it has this peplum detail, as you guys can see, with these green jeans.

And they're such a good time.

And I have this cute little bag that I absolutely love.

It's so small and so cute.

It's also really easy to get around and just keep my keys in it

and my wallet in it.

And that's it.

And I'm good to go.

And I have these Moth Birkenstocks, which I think are super fun.

These shoes are wonderful.

I love these sandals.

They're so cute.

And they're comfortable.

That's like, for the win, for the win.

So those were my three looks.

And if I didn't communicate enough, the quality on this stuff is all amazing.

JCPenney's is a great place to do your back-to-school and summer shopping.

Basically, you're shopping all year long.

All these outfits were a super good deal.

If you want to know all the prices for these outfits,

then you can watch my whole video, which is on my channel.

And you can see me getting the clothes, and opening them, and talking

a little bit more about them.

All of these outfits were super affordable, super cheap.

And I cannot thank Arizona enough for wanting to work with me

and my subscribers to make this video happen.

If you guys want to see more content like this,

be sure to subscribe to Arizona's channel.

Be sure to subscribe to my channel, [? California Crystal. ?] So hit

or on JCPenney.com, because you will literally not regret it.

So to end this video, like I end my videos on my channel,

I love you guys so much.

No hate.

Eat pizza.

And I'll see your lovely faces hopefully very soon.

Bye.

-- deal.

And I'm literally going to put this jacket on.

-- shorts, and they were--

[INAUDIBLE] booties.

And I had some like this, but--

California Mayor Begs Trump to Come Arrest Her — Immediately Regrets It! - Duration: 13:29.

California Mayor Begs Trump to Come Arrest Her — Immediately Regrets It!

A liberal California mayor is literally begging the Trump administration to arrest her!

Mayor Libby Schaaf of Oakland, California, defied all logic and reason on Wednesday when

she stated that she would happily go to jail to prevent ICE raids in her city.

"It is no surprise that the bully in chief is continuing to try to intimidate our most

vulnerable residents," said Mayor Schaaf, referring to President Donald Trump.

"We're very clear that our values are to protect all of our residents regardless

of where we come from.

We want to protect families, not tear them apart."

Check it out per the local CBS affiliate:

Schaaf's remarks came on a day when rumors were swirling that ICE planned to launch a

series of Bay Area raids — arresting as many as 1,500 illegal aliens — because California

has become a Sanctuary State and several communities have adopted Sanctuary City policies.

"We are exercising our legal right to be a Sanctuary City and to protect our residents,"

Schaaf told KPIX 5 of her opposition to ICE raids.

"The fact that the federal government is suggesting that it is actively retaliating

against jurisdictions that are exercising their right to have sanctuary policies — that

is what is illegal."

When asked if she were willing to go to jail to defend those policies, Schaaf answered

emphatically "Yes!"

"The level of fear and anxiety in this community is at unconscionable levels," Schaaf went

on to say.

"The important thing for people to know is that we have a 24/7 rapid response hotline

which is partially funded by the city, the county and philanthropy.

We are here to protect our residents."

"We will not have a presence, we will not do anything to suggest that we condone ICE

raids in Oakland," she said.

All of this hoopla comes on the heels of ICE Director Holman making statements to the effect

that "sanctuary city" politicians will be held criminally responsible for their dereliction

of duty.

Check it out, per The Hill:

Homan said the Department of Justice needs "to file charges against the sanctuary cities"

and "hold back their funding."

Homan, who was announced in December as President Trump's pick to permanently run the agency,

went on to say that politicians enforcing sanctuary city policies need to be held "personally

accountable."

"We gotta take [sanctuary cities] to court, and we gotta start charging some of these

politicians with crimes," he said.

Let's see how far your "brotherhood of man" liberal mentality lasts when you are

sitting in a California jail with gangbangers, thugs, and prostitutes.

You want to break the law, there's a place for you!

Do you think these "sanctuary city" politicians should be arrested?

'Extreme isn't even the right word to describe' conditions fueling California's destructive fires - Duration: 8:07.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Fire crews in Northern California spent another long day on the lines, laboring

to contain the sprawling Carr Fire.

It's already killed at least six people and left more than 720 homes, plus other buildings,

in ashes.

John Yang has our report.

JOHN YANG: It's California's largest and deadliest fire in a season that's been relentless.

But, today, some hopeful news: Authorities around Redding lifted evacuation orders for

some of the 38,000 people who'd been forced to flee.

Jeremy Siegel with PBS station KQED has been reporting from the fire scene.

JEREMY SIEGEL, KQED: Most of the areas where evacuations were lifted are fairly concentrated.

They're in an area that's far enough from where firefighters have been able to build

containment lines around the fire, that fire officials and local authorities are confident

that, with current wind conditions, there is not a chance that the fire has potential

to spread into that area.

JOHN YANG: The Carr Fire started small a week ago.

Then, on Thursday, surging winds turned it into an inferno, sweeping through Shasta and

Keswick, and into western subdivisions of Redding, a city of 92,000.

JIM CHAPIN, California: The wind had come up to 50 miles an hour or more.

And there were just all kinds of debris flying around in the air and the hot embers and hot

leaves coming down all over the yard.

I figured I had better get out of here.

JOHN YANG: More than 3,000 firefighters battled the blaze in bone-dry conditions and triple-digit

heat.

But by late Sunday, for the first time, officials struck a hopeful tone.

BRETT GOUVEA, Cal Fire: We are starting to gain some ground.

Rather than being in the defensive mode on this fire all of the time, we're starting

to make some good progress out there.

JOHN YANG: Hundreds of homes are now in ashes, and some people will return to find entire

neighborhoods gone.

Many others whose homes survived don't know when they will be allowed back.

RONALD JOHNSON, California: We were checking to see if we could get back into our house,

and they told us that they don't know when they will be opening up the roads.

JOHN YANG: There are also questions about who was warned and when.

Ed Bledsoe lost his wife and two great-grandchildren in the fire.

He says there was no warning.

ED BLEDSOE, Lost Relatives in Fire: If I had any kind of warning, I would have never, ever

left my family in that house.

I was talking to my little grandson on the phone.

He was saying, "Grandpa, please, you got to come and help us.

The fire's at the back door."

I said -- I said, "I'm right by you, honey, just hold on.

Grandpa's coming."

JOHN YANG: Meanwhile, two more fires flared to life late Sunday in northern Mendocino

and Lake Counties, north of San Francisco, forcing another 15,000 people to evacuate.

Yet another big fire has forced a rare closure of Yosemite National Park until this Friday.

They're among a total of 17 fires burning across the state.

Jonathan Cox is Cal Fire battalion chief for Northern California.

JONATHAN COX, Cal Fire Battalion Chief: We call this the new normal in California, and

we have seen larger and more destructive fires year over year.

And, unfortunately, this year doesn't look to be any different.

JOHN YANG: Firefighters are also counting their own casualties, with two killed this

year and the fire season far from over.

For the "PBS NewsHour," I'm John Yang.

JUDY WOODRUFF: To add some context, California has fought several hundred more wildfires

at this point in 2018 compared with last year.

The Carr Fire is now among the 10 most destructive wildfires in the state's history.

Chief Ken Pimlott is the director of Cal Fire.

That's the state agency in charge of fighting these wildfires.

He gave me an update on the latest challenges for firefighters.

KEN PIMLOTT, Cal Fire Director: We do have 15 -- or 17 large fires burning across the

state.

Really, five or six of those are the major fires that we're most concerned about.

And, in particular, of course, is the Carr fire in Shasta County and right out and inside

the city of Redding.

That fire today is almost 1,000 acres and 20 percent contained.

It's spreading to the west, to the north and to the south.

Fortunately, firefighters have done an amazing job of stopping the fire inside the city of

Redding, so there hasn't been any additional progress inside the city itself, but it continues

to be a large fire and far from out of the woods.

JUDY WOODRUFF: So, you have made some progress on it, because I guess it was just 5 percent

contained over the weekend.

But I did read the supervisor of Shasta County said -- quote -- "I have been a lifelong resident

of this community and I have never seen a fire with such destruction here in this area

ever before."

What's made it so fierce?

KEN PIMLOTT: So, obviously, all of our firefighters have really been saying the same thing throughout

this event.

Many of the folks fighting this fire, many of the law enforcement officers, all of them,

you know, are residents of that community and have experienced this fire either directly

or indirectly through family members and friends.

And they're all saying the intensity with which this fire has been burning, in particular

late last week, what's nothing more than a tornado ripped through the west end of Redding

and really carried miles of fire in a swirling motion, uprooted trees, uprooted vehicles

and tore roofs off of houses.

And just the conditions are extreme.

As a matter of fact, quoting one of my division chiefs, he says that extreme isn't even the

right word to describe the kinds of conditions we're seeing, not only in Shasta County, but

in all of these fires burning in California.

JUDY WOODRUFF: Well, we heard that grandfather in Redding who lost family members, saying

he never would have left his family had he had any idea.

Was there no warning?

KEN PIMLOTT: That story and so many others are absolutely tragic.

And the challenge with this fire and many of the fires we're having, especially last

year and in the fall in the North Bay Area counties, these fires are moving at exponential

rates.

They're often acting in ways that are unpredictable and move without warning.

And, you know, aggressive efforts are in place to provide evacuation notices.

And, for example, I was in Lake Count yesterday, when the River Fire was bearing down on the

community of Lakeport, and the sheriff there quickly initiated evacuations.

And this is something we're all looking at statewide to ensure we're getting notifications

out.

But it really depends, again, on residents when they hear the notification or they know

that the fire is in their community, to ensure they're heeding evacuation warnings and safely

leaving a fire area early.

JUDY WOODRUFF: And do you have the resources, the firefighters and the resources you need

in the state of California right now?

KEN PIMLOTT: We're constantly moving resources throughout California to get ahead and be

ready for the next event.

Several of the fires in Southern California are releasing resources as those fires become

contained, and we're quickly moving those resources north and bolstering the resources

that are already on these fires in Northern California.

We have placed several orders for fire engines and other resources to states outside of California

and other federal agencies.

And those resources continue to pour into the state, and we're deploying them around

where they need to be.

Aircraft, hand crews, all of these things are being brought into and moved around the

state.

But, understand, it's not just California.

The entire Western United States is facing extreme fire conditions right now.

JUDY WOODRUFF: A good reminder that it is across the Western U.S.

Chief Ken Pimlott, thank you very much, and a horrible situation, and we wish you the

very best with it.

KEN PIMLOTT: Thank you.
