Healthcare in the U.S. - Duration: 6:19.
Hey there crazies.
It's been a while.
I warned you I might disappear from the vlog because of all the doctor's appointments.
The last year has been pretty hellish for me, but as you can tell I'm feeling a little better.
Anyway, I wanted to stop in to share some things I learned about medicine in general
and about how the medicine works in the U.S.
Some of it is good, some of it is bad, and some of it is middlest.
Prepare for some nuance!
Let's start with insurance companies.
They suck!
Just to clarify, I don't have insurance through any of my jobs, because part-time,
but I do have personal insurance for my wife and me through the marketplace.
Though, we don't really get the actual perks from the Affordable Care Act
because, apparently, we make too much.
Anyway, I've had a personal plan directly through an insurance company for
many years.
On top of a bunch of little glitches that I'm always calling them to fix,
Premiums go up every year, so every 2 to 3 years I have to downgrade my plan so I can keep
affording it.
For the record, that's not because of the ACA.
Premiums always go up.
It has more to do with insurance payout forecasts, than it does with government policy.
But let's set premiums aside for a minute and talk about actual medical bills.
Anyone who has a personal plan knows that they barely cover anything
at least until you meet your deductible, which of course is never.
Insurance companies always make sure that those are sufficiently large.
However, they are still helping you every time you get a bill, sort of.
Even if the insurance isn't actually paying anything, they do negotiate prices.
For medical and dental care in 2017, I paid a total $5,125.
That's the total cost my insurance company approved
not the amount that hospitals and doctors tried to charge me.
The original bills in 2017 came to a grand total of $24,764,
almost 5 times what I actually paid.
Thanks insurance company!
Even if you include the premiums I paid: $600/month for 12 months comes to $7,200.
Add that to the $5,125 from earlier
and I still only paid half of what I would have paid without insurance.
This is why people without insurance get totally screwed over in the U.S.
Although, I put negotiate in big-whopping air quotes for a reason.
What the insurance company is really doing is saying "no" to fake prices.
Let me give you an example.
Last August, I got a CT scan.
The hospital tried to charge me $4,473,
not including what a doctor wanted to charge for reading the results.
Just for the scan,
which is ridiculous!
There's no way that CT scanner costs $4,473 to run for a few minutes.
So what happens next?
The hospital bills the insurance company.
Then the insurance company comes back and says "no, that's ridiculous."
Then the hospital says "You know, you're right.
Here's a more reasonable amount."
The insurance company approves it and pays whatever they were going to pay,
which, remember is probably nothing.
And the hospital bills you for the rest, which is probably everything.
The amount that finally got approved: $447.26.
Literally 1/10th of the original amount.
1/10th !!!!!!
Which means the hospital knows they can charge $447.26 and still make a little profit,
but they tried to charge 10 times that anyway.
Ladies, Gentleman, Non-Binaries, that's what we call: "Price Gouging."
I know how a CT scanner works and I could believe it could cost a few hundred dollars to run it.
Totally believable.
The $4,473 is a fake price.
Hospitals have fake prices like these for every procedure code,
all in a record called a master ledger, grand master
charge master!
It's called a charge master.
The hospital looks like it's giving the insurance company a huge discount,
the insurance company looks like it's negotiating a price way down for you.
It's a win-win except for you and me.
Last year, I got half-off of the fake prices, but paid almost 2.5 times the real ones,
because we can't get the real prices without paying insurance premiums.
They're helping you with a problem they created, but we can't do anything about it.
This will continue without proper government involvement.
Government involvement that asks the right questions and actually solves the right problems.
In the meantime, vote accordingly and get insurance.
It's a necessary evil.
Last, but certainly not least, medical diagnosis.
I mentioned at the beginning of this rant that I've been having health trouble.
I have had an unimaginable number of blood tests, urine sample tests, stool sample tests,
a CT scan, a tilt table test, a heart ultrasound, an endoscopy, and a colonoscopy.
Everything has come back negative, except the tilt table test.
So I, for sure, know that I have Vasovagal Syncope.
Basically, my vagus nerve is super sensitive.
Unfortunately, that nerve controls a lot of unconscious activity in the human body,
so, if it gets overly-stimulated,
I get dizzy and pass out, among other things.
And, for the test to work, they had to induce it while I was hooked to a bunch of equipment.
It was the worst medical test I have ever experienced.
I'm grateful I don't have to do it twice.
Anyway, it doesn't solve all my problems.
My nerve is still getting triggered for some reason which no one can figure out.
But it did let the doctors know to get me on some medication that raises my blood pressure,
so I don't pass out
and, let me tell you, huge improvement.
I feel like a new man.
I do still have some symptoms to figure out, but they're the more mild ones.
I feel like I can actually function while we try to figure the rest of this out.
And this brings me to my last bit of knowledge:
Doctors aren't stupid.
They know what they're doing and they know a lot!
They just don't have all the answers for everything.
Nobody does.
Anyone who tells you they have all the answers is either delusional or they're lying.
Medical diagnoses is hard.
Especially for someone like me with lots of symptoms and very few definitive signs.
I'm being passed off to some super medical specialists
but they're booked out for, like, 6 months, so that appointment isn't until this summer.
In the meantime, I'm on medication that makes me a functioning human being.
I hope this video helps some of you understand how medicine works in the U.S.
or at least helps you understand what's going on with me lately
and, as usual, I'll see you in the comments.

North Korea warns 'foolish' US over sanctions: 'You will NEVER subject us to your laws' - DAILY NEWS - Duration: 2:56.
North Korea warns 'foolish' US over sanctions: 'You will NEVER subject us to your laws'
NORTH Korea has strongly condemned the United States for passing its own sanctions against
the hermit state claiming they are a "wild violation of sovereignty under the international
law" as tensions rise on the Korean Peninsula.
The Trump administration has issued fresh sanctions as it attempts to stifle North Korea's
nuclear and missile programme and prevent a nuclear war.
Washington has imposed sanctions on 16 individuals and six North Korea vessels for their alleged
links to the state's nuclear and missile programmes.
Among the entities to suffer are two China-based trading firms which the Treasury says exported
metals and other materials required for the state's weapon programme.
A spokesperson from North Korea's foreign ministry said in a report: "The so-called
unilateral sanctions the United States has taken under its own sanctions laws are a clear
and wild violation of sovereignty under the international law that says a sovereign state
can never be subject to the judicial power of another country under any circumstance
and a serious provocation."
The individuals included in the sanctions are members of North Korea's Workers Party
operating in China, Russia and Georgia's breakaway Abkhazia region.
Among them were North Korea's vice consul in Nakhodka, Russia and an individual reportedly
involved in sending North Korean labourers to Abkhazia.
The official also said the US should stop with its "foolish" way of thinking and
"give up its anachronistic hostile policy" towards North Korea.
He claimed the sactions of the United States was intensifying tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
The US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said: "Treasury continues to systematically target
individuals and entities financing the Kim regime and its weapons programs, including
officials complicity in North Korean sanctions evasion schemed."
The US has put pressure on China, which is still an ally of North Korea, to cut off the
regime financially.
An unnamed North Korean foreign ministry spokesman also said the US sanctions are a "manifestation
of heinous intention to throw a wet blanket over the inter-Korean exchange and cooperation
and to aggravate the situation".
CIA director Mike Pompeo has said North Korea is "a handful of months" away from being able
to make a nuclear attack on the United States.

6 Strangest Unsolved Mysteries From Utah US - Duration: 24:00.
Though one of the lesser populated states, Utah's urban legends nonetheless cover so
many scary stories that the entire country can find something to make their skin crawl.
Read up on some of these stories that have been told over roaring campfires in creepy
Utah for decades, becoming as much part of the state as its sites.
6 Skinwalker Ranch.
Skinwalker Ranch, also known as Sherman Ranch, is a property located on approximately 1.9
km2 southeast of Ballard, Utah that is allegedly the site of paranormal and UFO-related activities.
Its name is taken from the skin-walker of Navajo legend.
Claims about the ranch first appeared in the Salt Lake City, Utah Deseret News,and later
in the alternative weekly Las Vegas Mercury as a series of articles by journalist George
Knapp.
These early stories detailed the claims that a family that had recently purchased and occupied
the property only to experience an array of inexplicable and frightening events.
Colm Kelleher and co-author George Knapp subsequently authored a book in which they describe the
ranch being acquired by the National Institute for Discovery Science to study anecdotal sightings
of UFOs, bigfoot-like creatures, crop circles, glowing orbs and poltergeist activity reported
by its former owners.
The ranch, located in west Uintah County bordering the Ute Indian Reservation, was popularly
dubbed the "UFO ranch" due to its ostensible 50-year history of odd events said to have
taken place there.
Knapp and Kelleher cite the 1974 book The Utah UFO Display: A Scientist's Report by
Frank Salisbury and Joseph "Junior" Hicks, which details an earlier investigation into
alleged UFO sightings in the Uintah County region, as partial confirmation of their account.
According to Kelleher and Knapp, they saw or investigated evidence of close to 100 incidents
that include vanishing and mutilated cattle, sightings of unidentified flying objects or
orbs, large animals with piercing red eyes that they say were not injured when struck
by bullets, and invisible objects emitting destructive magnetic fields.
Among those involved were retired Army Colonel John B. Alexander who characterized the National
Institute for Discovery Science effort as an attempt to get hard data using a "standard
scientific approach".
However, the investigators admitted to "difficulty obtaining evidence consistent with scientific
publication."
Cattle mutilations have been part of the folklore of the surrounding area for decades, but National
Institute for Discovery Science founder Robert Bigelow's purchase of the ranch and investigation
funding was reportedly the result of his being convinced by stories of mutilations that included
tales of strange lights and unusual impressions made in grass and soil told by the family
of former ranch owner Terry Sherman.
A 2013 film entitled Skinwalker Ranch is loosely based upon the folklore surrounding the ranch.
5 Grave Robber Jean Baptiste.
Those who knew and loved young Moroni Clawson were no doubt saddened by his death in January
1862 and may have even witnessed his burial in the city cemetery on the north bench of
Salt Lake City.
Several days later, however, their private grief turned public.
An event had occurred that, according to outraged citizens and public officials, could not pass
unnoticed and without severe consequences.
Only weeks before his death, Moroni Clawson had been arrested for participating in the
sensational robbery and assault of government.
John W. Dawson, whose stormy relationship with the Mormons had prompted him to flee
the territory.
When the young man escaped from the penitentiary on January 17, he was pursued and shot down
by a Salt Lake police officer.
Since no one came forward to pay for a proper burial, Henry Heath of the city police department
purchased, with his own money, Clawson's burial clothes.
After witnessing the burial, Heath was surprised to learn a week later that, while uncovering
the grave to move the body to a family cemetery, George Clawson, Moroni's brother, had discovered
that the corpse was completely naked!
Heath quickly organized an investigation of the strange occurrence.
Finding no evidence at the grave site, he continued his inquiry at the home of gravedigger
Jean Baptiste.
His wife invited the officers into the house.
While there they noticed a stack of boxes in a corner of the room.
One of the officers peeked inside a box and found neatly folded burial clothes.
Upon further investigation it was discovered that Jean Baptiste had collected nearly 60
pairs of children's and adult's shoes, clothing, and personal belongings by robbing
some 300 graves.
He was arrested and sent to jail.
When news of the lurid discovery spread throughout the city, residents expressed both their horror
and loathing of the crime.
Mobs gathered at the jail, threatening to lynch the grave robber.
Hundreds thronged to the city courthouse during his trial.
In reaction to the situation, Brigham Young assured worried residents that the bodies
of their loved ones would rise up in the resurrection wearing the original clothes in which they
were buried.
Meanwhile, police officers tried to correct part of the problem by putting all the burial
clothes found in Baptiste's home in a large box and burying it in a single grave in the
cemetery.
Still, the question of what to do with Jean Baptiste remained.
Shunned even by his fellow inmates, he was not safe within or outside prison walls.
Arguing that the prisoner's safety could not be guaranteed, city officials had Baptiste
secretly placed in a wagon at night and taken across the Antelope Bar to Antelope Island
in the Great Salt Lake.
He was soon moved to the more remote Fremont Island in order to prevent his wading ashore
to the mainland.
Jean Baptiste's life in exile on Fremont Island was short-lived.
Only three weeks after his arrival cattle herders came to the island to survey their
animals.
They discovered that a heifer had been killed and its hide tanned for leather.
Lengths of wood had been torn from a small ranch house on the island, presumably to construct
a raft.
Leaving behind only these small traces of his existence and possible escape, Jean Baptiste
was nowhere to be found.
The mystery of the eventual fate of Jean Baptiste has never been solved.
When hunters found a skeleton with an iron clamp around its leg near the mouth of the
Jordan River in March 1893, an article in the Salt Lake Tribune retold the story of
Jean Baptiste and speculated that the skeleton belonged to the unfortunate convict.
The Deseret News contested this theory by recording the statements of police officers
Henry Heath and Albert Dewey confirming that Jean Baptiste was not wearing a ball and chain
around his leg when he was placed on Fremont Island.
This controversy added yet another puzzling element to the Jean Baptiste story.
Even today the bizarre tale of his grave robberies and island exile remains a mystery in the
annals of Utah history.
4 The Bear Lake Monster.
The Bear Lake Monster is a being appearing in folklore near Bear Lake, on the Utah–Idaho
border.
The myth originally grew from articles written in the 19th century by Joseph C. Rich, a Mormon
colonizer in the area, purporting to report second-hand accounts of sightings of the creature.
However, he later recanted the stories.
Not all descriptions of the Bear Lake Monster agree, but one team of folklorists stated
that it "is reported to resemble a serpent, but with legs about eighteen inches long on
which it marauds along the shoreline."
One article reported that the creature had "a large undulating body, with about 30
feet of exposed surface, of a light cream color, moving swiftly through the water, at
a distance of three miles from the point of observation."
Others reported seeing a monster-like animal which went faster than a locomotive and had
a head variously described as being similar to that of a cow, otter, crocodile or a walrus.
Its size was reported to be at least fifty feet long, and certainly not less than forty.
Some sightings even spoke of a second member of the species and smaller monsters as well.
An 1868 article in the Deseret News announced that, "The Indians have a tradition concerning
a strange, serpent-like creature inhabiting the waters of Bear Lake….
Now, it seems this water devil, as the Indians called it, has again made an appearance.
A number of our white settlers declare they have seen it with their own eyes.
This Bear Lake Monster, they now call it, is causing a great deal of excitement up here"
and then the author—Joseph C. Rich—went on to relate several sightings of the creature
in recent times.
The article created a stir in Salt Lake City and within a month "a news staff member…
quizzed many Bear Lake people and found hardly a person who doubted it."
LDS Church leaders took an interest in the monster and when they visited the area on
preaching tours, took the opportunity to speak firsthand with the residents of the region.
They stated that they "had conversation with brother Charles C. Rich and other brethren
from Bear Lake Valley, respecting the monster which have been seen in the lake" and found
that they declared that the testimony that had been given "by so many individuals,
who have seen these creatures in so many places and under a variety of circumstances" that
the locals considered the story to be "indisputable."
Articles about the Bear Lake Monster continued to appear over the next several years, either
reciting new sightings of the Bear Lake Monster as well as similar creatures in other rivers
and lakes in the Utah Territory or calling the sightings into question.
The number of alleged appearances of lake monsters all across northern Utah caused some
people to speculate that there was an underground channel connecting the Great Salt Lake and
other waterways to Bear Lake.
Sighting of the Bear Lake Monster continued even after Rich admitted that he fabricated
the original sightings as a hoax.
A 1907 letter published in a Logan, Utah newspaper claimed that two men had seen the Bear Lake
behemoth attack their camp and kill one of their horses, a four-year-old claimed to see
it in 1937, and a Boy Scout leader spoke of seeing it in 1946.
The last reported sighting of the monster was in June 2002, when Bear Lake business
owner Brian Hirschi claims to have seen the monster.
The monster has become a part of local folklore, partly due to sporadic sightings and partly
in jest.
For years a Bear Lake Monster Boat—a tourist boat shaped to look like a green lake monster—offered
a 45-minute scenic cruise of Bear Lake with folklore storytelling.
Another self-parody that the locals have done is to fill a float in the Garden City, Utah
Raspberry Days parade with local children and label it "The Real Bear Lake Monsters."
On another occasion, during the 1996 Raspberry Days, a competition was organized in Garden
City to have local school children name the leviathan.
The judges decided on the name Isabella, which had been submitted by an eight-year-old girl.
3 D.B.
Cooper and Richard McCoy.
A man identifying himself as "D.B.
Cooper" hijacked a plane on Thanksgiving Eve 1971, demanded $200,000 and four parachutes,
then bailed out somewhere over the Pacific Northwest.
Four months later, Richard McCoy, a Utahn and former BYU student, hijacked a plane,
collected a $500,000 ransom, and bailed out of the plane via parachute.
He was later captured and convicted of the second hijacking.
While serving his 45-year sentence, McCoy escaped prison and was later killed in a shootout
with police.
Some investigators believe that McCoy is "D.B.
Cooper," but the mystery may never be solved.
The FBI re-issued a map from the original investigation and photos: one of the parachutes,
a parachute pack, a necktie Cooper discarded on the plane, and some of the cash found along
the banks of the Columbia River.
The bureau also tried to shoot down an old theory that "D.B.
Cooper" was BYU student Richard McCoy.
In a book two decades ago, a former FBI agent and former probation officer claimed McCoy
did both skyjackings.
"Yes, we're very confident that Richard McCoy is 'D.B.
Cooper,'" former probation officer Bernie Rhodes said in 1991.
Former FBI agent Russell Calame added, "There's just too many similarities.
There's too many things that are the same."
On the ground in San Francisco, McCoy ordered his hijacked plane to fly eastward toward
Utah.
He gave pilots a list of towns in Utah to fly over, and then he bailed out somewhere
over Utah Lake.
He landed in a field south of Provo and walked to a nearby drive-in and hitched a ride home.
Calame still believes today McCoy and Cooper were the same person.
"I do.
I feel about the same.
I don't have any reason to feel otherwise, yet," he said.
The FBI press release says McCoy didn't match Cooper's description.
"The descriptions varied a lot, and that's not unusual," Calame said.
The FBI release says McCoy couldn't have been Cooper because he was home for Thanksgiving
dinner in 1971.
"I think we proved pretty conclusively that he wasn't here, that he lied about Thanksgiving
dinner," Calame said.
The debate persists long after McCoy died.
2 500 Million-Year-Old Human Footprint Fossil.
In the summer of 1968, an amateur fossil collector, William J. Meister, made the discovery of
a lifetime 43 miles west of Delta, Utah.
To his surprise he found a fossilized human footprint about the size of a US 13 shoe stepping
on a trilobite.
Now, trilobites only existed between 260 to 600 million years ago, so this makes it the
oldest human fossil footprint ever discovered!
Trilobites were small marine invertebrates related to crabs and shrimps.
Scientists currently think humans emerged 1 or 2 million years ago and only began wearing
such shoes a few thousand years ago.
This archaeological discovery could be sufficient to overturn all conventionally accepted ideas
of human and geological evolution.
According to science's currently accepted timeline of human existence on this planet,
humans advanced enough to wear shoes would not have existed hundreds of millions of years
ago.
As one might expect, this sent shockwaves throughout the scientific communities with
excitement for a new paradigm shift as well as skeptical denial.
Meister took the rock to a professor of metallurgy at the University of Utah, Melvin Cook, who
suggested he show it to the university's geologists.
But none of the geologists were willing to examine it, so Meister took it to a local
newspaper called The Deseret News and quickly became very well-known around the country.
This amazing find was presented on March 1, 1973 in a creation-evolution debate at California
State University in Sacramento.
The creationist team included Dr. Duane Gish of the Institute for Creation Research and
Reverend Boswell of a local Sacramento church.
The scientific team consisted of Dr. Richard Lemmon of the University of California at
Berkeley and Dr. G. Ledyard Stebbins of the University of California at Davis.
Reverend Boswell said:
"I have here something that pretty much destroys the entire geological column.
It has been studied by three laboratories around the world and it's been tested and
found valid.
It represents a footprint that was found at Antelope Springs, Utah, while digging for
trilobites.
The man was digging for trilobites, and these are trilobites here and here embedded.
This is a brick mold of a trilobite footprint of a human footprint with a trilobite in it.
The man stepped on a living trilobite, burying him in the mud.
This particular strata is dated Cambrian, supposedly 500 million years extinct before
man arrived on the face of the earth.
The interesting thing about this photograph is that there is also heel marks, which would
indicate that they were made by modern man."
In a news conference, the skeptical curator of the Museum of Earth Science at the University
of Utah, James Madsen, dismissively said: "There were no men 600 million years ago.
Neither were there monkeys or bears or ground sloths to make pseudo-human tracks.
What man-thing could possibly have been walking about on this planet before vertebrates even
evolved?"
Mr. Meister claimed that when he had a geologist examine the print, the geologist offered him
$250,000 for the print.
Meister asked him, "What are you going to do with it if I sell it to you?"
The geologist replied, "I'm going to destroy it, it destroys my entire life work as a geologist."
Can you imagine the implications of mankind around the world learning or realizing we
are hundreds of millions of years older than we thought and that we have been far more
advanced than even we are today?
The questions and answers beyond this metaphoric opened doorway could cause a rippling paradigm
shift worldwide.
During one interview, Michael Cremo said:
"The reactions in your question are typical of a group that I call the fundamentalist
Darwinists.
They support the theory of evolution not for purely scientific reasons, but because it
confirms their prior commitments to a strict materialism.
They do not want to hear me, and they do not want anyone else to hear me, so they say those
kinds of things.
Sometimes they try to stop me from lecturing at universities."
Those really seeking the truth are open to new information to learn from and examine
the scientific findings rationally without bias.
We may have to dig deep within ourselves to find the answers to the questions: Who are
we?
Where did we come from?
Why are we here?
1 Rhodes Gold Mine.
Utah is full of myths and legends.
from the monsters and various haunted places, yet none is more mysterious than the lost
Rhodes Gold Mine.
This mine was supposedly used to gain the gold to coat the Angel Moroni statue, on the
top of the Salt Lake Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Most common beliefs are that the mine is either in the Uinta Mountains, or on the Ute Indian
Reservation, near Ouray.
Some even tie the mine into the Spanish and legendary Aztec gold mine lore.
Over the decades, some have scoffed that the mine even exists at all.
A report in the Salt Lake Tribune of May 24, 1896 was written by an unnamed man who reportedly
knew Thomas Rhodes well and provided his own memories of the man and mining.
The story states that Rhodes had brought to Utah some $50,000 in gold dust that he had
secured in California.
Then, years later he was on Strawberry Creek in the Uinta Mountains and noticed some similarities
between the rocks there and the ones he had found gold at in California.
Rhodes then panned the stream and found a little gold there.
After returning to Salt Lake City, he told LDS Church President Brigham Young about the
gold and he urged Rhodes to keep the knowledge of any mines hidden.
That's because President Young didn't want an influx of people to the area, nor any disruption
in the Mormon Pioneers' stock raising and agricultural interests.
"And it is evident that Rhodes latterly lost confidence in the importance of his find,
as he had opportunities to determine its extensiveness," the article stated.
The article also stressed that Rhodes never claimed any great knowledge of finding or
mining gold.
"The 'Rhodes' mine is only a companion myth of the "Spanish" mine at Springville, the
Kanosh legend of Spanards working the Horn silver, the Mexican shaft in City Creek Canyon,
etc.," the article concluded.
Thus, to this man, the Rhodes mine was never a mine, merely a little gold panning that
evolved into a gold mine legend decades later.
"Rich land of the Utes" was an October 11, 1897 headline in the Salt Lake Herald newspaper.
Regarding the Rhodes mine, this article stated: "It is on the Uintah reservation that the
famous Rhodes mine is located.
Everyone in Utah is familiar with the story of Rhodes' life, who for years left home in
the spring with a pack animal and regularly returned in the fall with several thousand
dollars in gold.
The secret of this hidden wealth was transmitted on the decease of the father to his eldest
son who in turn died and left it to his younger brother, the man who is at present associated
with FWC Hatherbruck in the endeavor to obtain the Indian's consent to a lease.
Operations along this line have been temporarily suspended for the reason that Hatherbruck
has been subpoenaed as a witness before a court at Provo City."
A Feb. 6, 1902 story in the Eastern Utah Advocate newspaper strongly hinted that the Rhodes
mine was a myth.
It cited how many cowboys and sheepherders have roamed the territory, where the mine
is supposed to be, and have only found copper and no gold.
The article then cited the Wasatch Wave newspaper that stated:
"It claims that an older settler said that Rhodes secured his gold dust in California
in the early days -- brought it back to Utah and cached it out in the hills.
About once a year he would visit his treasure box, and upon his return with gold, people
were led to believe he secured it on the reservation."
Notwithstanding such scoffing, the Utah Mining Review of October 30, 1903 reported that the
Rhodes mine had been found by the Florence Mining Company.
Since no more was ever reported on that discovery, it was obviously proven wrong.
Also, the lost Rhodes mine was reported found much more recently, in 1958.
The Uintah Basin Standard newspaper of July 10, 1958 carried the headline, "Lost Rhodes
Gold mine believed found by Bullock Mining Co."
Again, with no future reports, that was also proven false in time.
The same newspaper had hinted at the possibility of a big gold strike in an Aug. 15, 1957 article,
during a year when 25 mining claims were filed in Duchesne County.
So the legend of this gold mine, as many similar gold mines in the West, refuses to cease.
Has the Rhodes tale evolved from simple gold panning, or from Rhodes' own possible cache
of California gold into a full blown lost gold mine?
Or, is it the real deal with an authentic lost gold mine out there ... Who can tell?

S. Korea, U.S. reaffirm inter-Korean talks should serve to denuclearize Pyongyang - Duration: 2:24.
And to tell us more about the defense talks,....
Dr. Bong Young-shik, a researcher at the Yonsei Institute for North Korean Studies,... joins
us in the studio today.
So good to see you.
Pleasure to be here.
1- So during the talks... the two sides reaffirmed their ironclad commitment and said ....that
North Korea *cannot drive a wedge in their alliance.
Tell us more about this.
2- The talks came as the two Koreas have been busy preparing for the North's participation
in the Winter Olympics.
How do you think North Korea would respond to these talks..... as South Korea and the
U.S. have committed to continued collaboration aimed at making North Korea change its behavior?
3- What can we expect in regards to the Seoul-Washington joint military drills which have been postponed
due to the Olympics.
4- Are there any chances of us seeing a dialogue between the U.S. and North Korea in the near
future.... as we have been seeing a thaw in inter-Korea relations recently.
5- Now we know there wasn't much discussion over the transfer of wartime operational control
of South Korean troops from Washington to Seoul..... but first, tell us more about what
exactly this is.
6- There were expectations that Seoul and Washington would speed up the OPCON transfer.
What can we expect on this front?
7- So then what does speeding up the transfer process mean for South Korea?
Why has President Moon been pushing for this?
8- What has been North Korea's response to the OPCON transfer plan..... and what impact
would this have on inter-Korea relations?
9- Now with the PyeongChang Winter Games quickly approaching...
North Korea is likely to hold a military parade to mark the 70th founding anniversary of its
military..... just a day before the opening of the PyeongChang Olympics.
But South Korean Unification Minister Cho Myoung-gyon said..... that the North's military
parade is irrelevant to the Winter Games and its timing is just a coincidence.
What are your thoughts on this?
Thank you for your insight today.
Sure thing.

US general: US troops won't withdraw fron Syrian city of Manbij - Duration: 6:36.
US general: US troops won't withdraw fron Syrian city of Manbij
US troops will not withdraw from Manbij, a strategically important city in northern Syria, a leading US military figure told CNN Sunday.
This means that US troops risk being caught up in Turkeys military push into northern Syria should Ankara follow through with a pledge to advance into the area.
Gen.
Joseph Votel, Commander of the United States Central Command said that withdrawing US forces from Manbij, is not something we are looking into..
Manbij is a key flashpoint in northern Syria -- located northeast of Aleppo and around 40 kilometers (25 miles) south of Jarabulus, which sits on the Syrian-Turkish border.
Turkey launched a ground operation across the border into Syria a week ago in an attempt to drive US-allied Kurdish militia from the area.
The military incursion has raised tensions between Turkey and the United States, which supports and openly arms Kurdish militias fighting ISIS.
The confirmation of US commitment to Manbij comes as parties involved in the conflict prepare to meet in Russia-hosted peace talks in the Black Sea resort of Sochi.
The Syrian National Dialogue Congress will take place over Monday and Tuesday, and will be attended by up to 1,500 delegates from across the Syrian political landscape, Russian state media says.
The UNs Special Envoy for Syria, Staffan de Mistura will attend, the world body confirmed.
Differing accounts Conflicting accounts of a Wednesday phone call between US President Donald Trump and Turkeys President Recep Tayyip Erdogan further muddied the waters concerning Turkish ambitions in the area.
According to the White Houses readout of the call, Trump urged Turkey to exercise caution and to avoid any actions that might risk conflict between Turkish and American forces. However, the White House version of the call was immediately disputed by Turkish officials.
Turkeys foreign minister told reporters Thursday that Erdogan had asked Trump to withdraw US troops from Manbij.
The US is engaged with the Turkish government at all levels to develop a solution which addresses Turkeys security concerns and ensures there is no decrease in pressure on ISIS, Department of Defense spokesman Eric Pahon told CNN at the time.
Defense of the the town is the responsibility of the Manbij Military Council (MMC), a primarily Arab force made up of Manbij locals.
It is aligned with the US coalition partner Syrian Defense Force (SDF).
The MMC was created to defend Manbij from ISIS and assumed the defense of the town in August 2016 after the SDF liberated the area from the jihadi group.
Coalition troops trained, advised, assisted and accompanied the MMC in 2016, and continues to provide material and training support.
This allows the citizens of Manbij to continue to make progress in restoring the city to its pre-conflict way of life, Pahon said.
This return to normalcy is an important factor in preventing the return of ISIS. The city is 60% ethnically-Arab and an approximately 40% mix of Kurdish, Turkmen and Circassia, according to Pahon.
Continued activity Two US defense officials told CNN earlier in January that the US military was carrying out overt patrols in the Manbij area, with the primary mission of deterring conflict.
The officials added that Turkish-backed rebels in the area regularly fire on these patrols and US forces occasionally return fire.
One military official said US troops in the Manbij area had come under fire from Turkish-backed rebels within the last week, and had returned fire in self-defense.
On a visit to London last week, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson had voiced concern about Turkeys offensive against Kurdish militia in northern Syria, urging restraint but stopping short of demanding an end to the operation.
Tillerson said that Turkey had a right to protect its citizens but urged restraint on both sides.
Earlier in January, he said the US must remain both diplomatically and militarily engaged in Syriato protect its own national security interests.

WWE News - U.S. Title Open Challenge Among Matches For Royal Rumble Pre-Show
As if there weren't enough matches on the Royal Rumble card as is, WWE has added three more bouts to the pay-per-view this Sunday.
All three are in an effort to warm fans up to the main action that will be taking place after the Royal Rumble Kickoff, which streams live on Sunday with a special start time of 5 ET/2 PT.
To go along with a celebrity-filled panel of stars talking about the night's action, WWE.com has announced that Bobby Roode will defend his newly-won United States Championship in an Open Challenge match.
After winning the title in a tournament, Roode has his hands full with Jinder Mahal, but on Sunday anyone can answer the challenge and try to win Roode's glorious title.
Will Mahal enter the arena as the next challenger? Will a new face join the WWE and give Roode all he can handle, or will someone from the tournament look to right a perceived wrong by taking advantage of another opportunity?In addition, the WWE has announced Luke Gallows & Karl Anderson will take on The Revival after butting heads on the 25th anniversary of Raw this past Monday.
Gallows and Anderson got the upper hand with Finn Balor and D-X in their corner but will The Revival have the last laugh?.
Finally, in the wake of Enzo Amore's release from the WWE, things have changed a bit in the Cruiserweight Division.
With no champion to speak of, fans will be treated to a six-man tag match.Kalisto, Lince Dorado & Gran Metalik will square-off against TJP, Gentleman Jack Gallagher & Drew Gulak in what is sure to be a fast-paced affair that gets the crowd pumped up.
Whether or not any of these competitors will return later in the evening to join the already announced members of the Royal Rumble match is uncertain, but with so many competitors on the card and a number of spots still open for the taking, one would have to think a few competitors will be pulling double-duty.
