Costco Barred Media From Donald Trump Jr. Book Signing At Arizona Warehouse: Reports
Costco barred reporters from entering an event at one of the wholesaler's warehouses in Arizona where Donald Trump Jr. was signing copies of his new book, it has been reported.
At least three local media outlets said that Costco staff did not allow reporters inside its Scottsdale warehouse on Monday or conduct interviews on its grounds.
12 News reported that this meant journalists could not even ask questions of people waiting in line to have their copies of Trump Jr.'s new book signed by the president's eldest son.
Azfamily.com also claimed that Costco did not permit media to come inside the warehouse with cameras to watch the event.

In a package on the book signing for 12 News, journalist Brahm Resnik said: "We'd like to show you the book signing inside the Costco, but Costco wouldn't let us in.
"Costco also wouldn't let us talk to people waiting in line to have their books signed by Donald Trump Jr."
But Resnik later added that he did go inside the building as a Costco member, and claimed that the signing took place in a "far corner" of the warehouse. (Resnik did not respond to a request for further comment at the time of publication.)

Donald Trump Jr. published his new book titled Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us with Center Street last week.
In the book, Trump Jr. rails against the press and "fake news," even dedicating a whole chapter titled "The Enemy of the People?" to his gripes with the media.
Costco's decision to block journalists from attending Trump Jr.'s book signing at its warehouse in Scottsdale came a day after the president's eldest son and his girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle walked out of a similar event at the University of California campus in Los Angeles on Sunday.
The pair left the event hosted by Turning Point USA less than an hour into its scheduled two-hour run time after they were booed by Trump supporters angered that there would be no question-and-answer session.
Trump Jr.'s book signing in Arizona Monday does not appear to have gone the same way. The Trump Organization executive vice president posted a video of a large crowd outside the warehouse cheering and chanting "USA!" on his Instagram.
Another book signing and launch party for Triggered is being held at the Trump International Hotel in Washington, D.C., Tuesday night.
Costco did not respond to a request for comment.

ESG issues are assessed and managed throughout the investment life cycle. All potential portfolio company investments are reviewed for ESG risks and opportunities as an integral part of the investment due diligence process. MIRA uses internal expertise and third party advisors, as appropriate, to develop a post-acquisition transition plan for each investment which includes measures to address identified ESG issues.
Senior MIRA employees are appointed as non-executive directors to the boards of the portfolio companies in which MIRA-managed funds invest. They aim to ensure that each portfolio company establishes and maintains its own risk management framework, which incorporates ESG issues and supporting policies and procedures, including measures set out in the transition plan.
The adopted framework must, at a minimum, be adequate to ensure compliance with relevant regulation and standards in the country and industry in which the portfolio company operates. It should support the business to achieve and promote ESG management practices and be appropriate to the level of ESG risk in that business.
Each portfolio company is expected to monitor its compliance with key ESG requirements, metrics and KPIs relevant for the specific business, sector and jurisdiction, resolving identified issues on a timely basis. It is also expected to report at least annually to its board and shareholders on developments.

Breaking into the syndication is by no means an easy feat and without experience or capital, many aspiring syndicators lose motivation or quit before they've even properly started. Will Morris found himself in the same position, where, despite having experience in the multifamily space as a contractor, he just could not seem to crack the syndication code. This did not deter him and instead, he saw it as an opportunity to enter syndication in an unconventional way.
Watch the episode here:
Listen to the podcast here:
He turned to social media, where his main aim was simply to educate others about deals. His intention was never selling, but through the attention that he attracted by putting himself out there on social media, he found that he was able to slowly but surely establish himself as a social syndicator. It may seem daunting, putting yourself out there on social media, but Will believes that everyone has real estate knowledge, regardless of their experience. Along with sharing his social syndication strategy, Will also talks about the power of teamwork and why it is vital to build a team around your strengths and weaknesses. Will's story is one that so many of us can relate to, so to hear more join us today!

About Will Norris
Will Morris at 32 is a serial entrepreneur, husband and proud father of three. He has been involved with multifamily assets for over 8 years. Starting as a General Contractor, transitioned into importing components for value adds projects where he was able to work closely with the acquisition teams of some of the nation's largest owners, operators, and syndicators. During which time Will was watching, learning and getting hands-on training on the syndication process. He quickly realized the importance of raising capital and deal flow. Will noticed traditional syndicators were operating from their established network built from years of relationships and experience. What they were not doing was adapting to modern strategies. That's where Will found his next opportunity which he calls Social Syndication. Using his Social Syndication strategy In just 6 months, Will Morris went from 0 to in the GP on 655 units totaling almost 28 million in real estate by leveraging social media to gain attention and capital. Even though those 655 units failed to close Will had proven his system, methods and strategy worked. Will documented his journey in his book 6 Months To 655 Units. He now focuses on growing his real estate portfolio through syndicating great cash flowing assets and sharing his knowledge to help others to financial freedom.

[0:00:32.4] WM: Thanks for having me Whitney.

His social syndication methods shows followers, how to leverage social media, to gain the attention of deals and capital.

Will, it's been an honor to get to know you and just a few conversations that I've had, I know we've related on a lot of different topics.
But tell the listeners a little bit more about who you are, maybe where you're located and let's dive in.
[0:01:08.2] WM: Okay, well, thanks again for having me, I appreciate the opportunity. Thank you guys for watching the show as well. But I live in Knoxville, Tennessee, I was raised, me and Whitney was talking about, I was raised in Kentucky on a 300-acre farm. After a divorced family and ended up getting split and had to move that way. Raised working tobacco, worked my way back to Knoxville Tennessee. From there, went into contractor after I flunked out of school, went into multifamily as a general contractor, doing the value-adds, worked my way into syndication.
Worked my way into importing and after there, owned up a syndication. That's kind of it in a nutshell which will dive into on your show.
[0:01:46.4] WS: Yeah, from contractor to syndicator. You know, tell me a little bit about why did you want to get into multifamily syndication from being a contractor?
[0:01:54.4] WM: Well, I actually fell into it. Like I said, I went three years for civil engineering and in my fourth year, place in my fourth year, I had an opportunity to do a quick internship so I jumped into. It was actually 12-month internship to see if II really like that for about nine months, I said, "This is not for me! "And I quit and the only other thing that I really had because I was – I married young, I had a kid, my first child young and so I had obligations and I was like look, I've got to go to work and so having sort of an entrepreneur mind and also a builder mind I guess or whatever.
I knew I could make money with my hands, went out and got my GC license and from there, I was introduced into multifamily. I didn't have a – I never thought about it, didn't have a clue about it but one of the flyers for now what I know was value-adds, introduced me to some owners and said, "Hey, here's a GC that can help you on doing your value-adds for when they buy the property." Same thing that we're doing nowadays.
Anyway, just kind of fell into it and from there, I work into constantly watching, being very entrepreneur minded and just being aware of my situation and my surroundings, I've seen that there was people – basically they were dropping of 20, 30, 40 units worth of cabinets and different things where it was taking me and my crew two weeks to turn a unit for thee value-add. I'd seen that opportunity started exploring, importing and come to find out about how they were importing large quantities for these value-adds and so I just jumped into it, I jumped into started learning, studying.
You know, everything I could, from there, I started, went in some deals and we're right back to the people as contract before I said, "Hey look, I'll supply it as well as install it." And just really give them a no brainer deal to go with me and I leveraged them to be able to get access to closer to them is what end up happening. I end up working with their acquisition teams and from there, that's where I really seen the next opportunity which was syndicating. I seen who was making the money is what it boiled down to.
Started seeing their numbers and I was like, "Man, I'm out there doing this for $400 a unit. You're making a killing." I started researching that and advocated friends with acquisition teams for those syndicators and operators and from there, really just started researching more and pursued that.
[0:04:10.5] WS: Okay, you see an opportunity, right? You see an opportunity but tell me, moving in to the syndication business, you just start working for that team then, did somebody on that team become like a mentor, how did you learn the syndication business to be able to get in.
[0:04:23.1] WM: Well, part of it was – I wouldn't say it was like a direct mentor, you know? I don't think they had the mindset that they were mentoring. I was supplying, we call them components so like your cabinets, your granite, your hardware, light fixtures, plumbing features. I was supplying those for some of the nation's largest – still today, largest multifamily operator- syndicators and so by working with them, they had full acquisition teams.
These guys are you know, you got underwriters that are gurus. You got people that handle source different things, they'll do their due diligence and I don't think they directly knew what they were doing. But for me, just being like a sponge and just soaking it up, yeah, they were mentors for me. I never actually went to work for them in that role. But I was constantly, you know, I get their cellphone and I'd blow them up.
"What about this? What about that?" And I was using their deals as examples like if I was buying them. So, I kind of put myself in the situation of those syndicator s and owners and operators and was basically playing, doing roll play where I basically, I bought thousands of units, you know? In my head. But asking them those kind of questions, asking if I was actually buying it and stuff and also ask them why they didn't buy things. You know, why they didn't pursue this property or that property.
Basically, it was a mental game for me, I was just really soaking it up, really trying to leverage the situation that I was in. In order to put myself you know, because I knew what I was – I seen the writing upfront. "Look, that's what I'm going to start doing," you know? It's not just multifamily. There's other opportunities out there that I'm working on that are the same model but the reality here is when I said, "Okay, today's the day. I'm slowing down on the importing so I can have more time to focus on the syndicating, finding deals. I'm going to go ahead and talk to this broker and this guy."
You know, find this deal into this. I found out really quick that you know, with little capital, no knowledge and no experience, you know, you get thrown on your butt really quick and they tell you, you know, they laugh at you. I had so many brokers, different people laugh at me just tell me that you know, this is a big boy's game. I always had the mentality, "You know, look sir, you had to start somewhere, you know?"
[0:06:28.1] WS: That's right.
[0:06:29.3] WM: My biggest thing too was I was going after large assets. I mean, because the guys that I was learning from were doing a hundred plus, 200 plus unit assets. Really that mean, they wouldn't look at anything less than 150 units for the most case. I was mimicking what I learned, you know what I'm saying? I was trying to do exactly what they did. I basically used their model as my model and –
[0:06:50.7] WS: Tell me about your first deal. How did you get into the first deal?
[0:06:53.4] WM: Well, I didn't. That's the thing, I was out and I was trying to find the deal. I was trying to find different things and I just couldn't, nobody would give me an opportunity. So, what I did was I – I said," Well, you know, I've got a message here, I've got something to say, I've got something to do. I need to get it in front of people.
That leaves me to where I am now is basically. I seen that there was a problem that unless you're within those networks of years and relationships that they built over years and these relationships and you know, their network that allows them to be able to go out and source deals and source capital and different things. You know, for me, I had to be resourceful and so what I did is I basically took to social media and was like, "Hey, look. I'm looking for a deal, I'm looking for capital."
I just started putting it out there and what happened is I ended up getting somebody with that had a deal, came to me and said, "Hey. I've got a deal and I need some capital. We see what you're doing and you know, you can help us raise some capital then we can help you." And so that's basically what happened is I ended up getting a couple of people that had a couple of good deals.
They needed help raising capital or gaining attention for that deal. That's what I did. I basically leveraged their deals in order to promote it, put it out there and I was upfront. I wasn't saying that this was my deal or anything, I was saying that this was my partners or our team deal and which is true, if you're in on the GP then it's your thing. I leveraged other people's deals to gain even more attention and more attraction and what that did is that ended up becoming my credibility.
I was able to leverage that. I was able to raise a capital too believe it or not, I was able to raise the capital, raise some capital for them. Now, those deals ended up not closing but it wasn't because of capital or the deal, it was one of the other many problems that can happen in a multifamily deal.
But it proved my strategy that you can gain attention without having the experience and the capital and all this stuff but you –
[0:08:49.6] WS: What were you doing to gain attention? What was it you were – tell us a little about this you know, the social syndication style?
[0:08:55.2] WM: What I was doing there is you know. I did research so I wouldn't blindly go on out, I knew about the SEC and different regulations that were out there. What I was doing is I was coming from an educational standpoint, I was coming from a, "Hey, I've got this deal and look how good it looks." I wasn't asking for capital, I wasn't asking for partners, I wasn't asking for anything. I was just giving; you know? I was really – basically kind of educating over the deal I was talking about how I would value-add this. You know, we're going to do this, we're going to do that and so I was just giving the breakdown of the deal and just really giving value out there, sharing and what happened is you know, sort of hidden benefit of that, a lot of people underestimate it.
You might think that you're giving away your nuggets or giving away your special sauce but it reality, what you do is you're showing your expertise. That attracted people. They ended up coming to me and saying, "Hey, I seen that you obviously know what you're doing the way you were talking about this deal and the way you were talking about value, I never thought about that. nd you know, you got your own in-house import, we really like that. "And so, it ended up attracting those people just through educating about the deal through sharing how you're going to work out stuff and it became kind of like a podcast for you here. It became like my thought leadership platform.
[0:10:08.6] WS: You know, can you elaborate more on like what you were sharing, where you were sharing it, how did you connect with people?
[0:10:14.1] WM: Well, I kept it simple. At the time, you know, now I've got a studio and I've got all kinds of other stuff that's all fancy. But in reality, you don't need that. I mean, when I started out, I literally, I took my phone and got an iPhone and an iPad. Well, I took my phone and I recorded a first little bit, looking in myself saying, "Hey, I'm Will and I just got this deal. It's in Oklahoma and it's this and this and this. Let me show you."
And then I stopped it. I went to my iPad and I did a screen share and I just went over the offer, the memorandum. I just kind of went over it, talking about it, went over kind of our CapEx and what we were planning to do for the value-add and kind of went over so the Preformat just basically reading it, going over it but elaborating on it as well. And then, I shared that to really everywhere. People asked me all the time, they say, "Well what's the best channel, what's the best network, platform to be on right now and in reality, it's everywhere."
If you can transcribe something because some people like to read, some people like to watch. It could be a blog post, like on medium.com or a video on YouTube and then of course, you know, you got Facebook and Facebook might be a snippet. Instagram. People, LinkedIn is phenomenal right now. It's a great network to be on, it's great organic reach but at the same time, you got to be posting some decent content as well.
Really, that was it. I would do that stuff, educate and I keep it simple. Like I said, one of the best videos I had was literally in front of apartment complex talking about value on a different level as far as the labor rates, you know? I was talking about – a lot of people don't think that if you go into a hot market, you know, it's a real good market and the economy's growing and jobs are growing and all that stuff.
Well guess what that does to your value-adds, is your labor process go up. You know, I was coming from a contractor when I was out doing the value-adds and I was sourcing, say plumbers to change out your traps or your supply lines on your sinks and your vanities. Well, they don't care if you're in a 200-unit apartment complex or if they're out here working on – they got a builder paying to do 12 full houses, really, the price on the residential is better so you're competing with that.
And so that was one my best videos was literally just taking out my phone and talking about saying, "Hey, you might want to think about this really high growth markets. You might want to look at the labor process more so than the component." That one there was phenomenal. You know, that was able to reject and I shared it on of course, linked in, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram.
[0:12:42.0] WS: What happened then? People see that and then they're reaching out to you or they're messaging you or do you have some kind of call to action at the end?
[0:12:49.6] WM: No. I don't want to put calls to action out there because again like I said, I'm not really selling or anything. What you're doing is you're gaining attention because attention is the new currency. If you can leverage your knowledge or you know –I got three little words here is you either want to entertain, engage or educate. So, if you can educate somebody, which is phenomenal, if you can engage with them, "Hey, what do you think? What are you thinking?" Or if nothing else if you don't know the other two just be funny you know? But entertain them and what you are going to do is you are going to gain attention and once you have people's attention then you can start leveraging that into:
"Hey, you might want to check out this deal I've got." Or "Hey, we've got three spots less on these three million dollars raise." Or something but you have to – I warn you there and I will do all the disclaimers, you know you really need to talk with an attorney or check out the SEC. I am not telling anybody to go out and just start soliciting everywhere for capital.
But what you do is you gain attention. You leverage these platforms to gain the attention because that is where it's at. You know you got to go where the attention is and so you leverage these platforms to gain that attention and once you have their attention then you can start directing or filtering however you see fit so.
[0:14:00.7] WS: I like that, entertain, engage, educate because most people just feel like it is this big thing that you know we are too scared to get started doing, right? Some type of platform, some type of social media presence and so they don't know where to start. And it doesn't have to be education. If you are just getting started maybe you don't feel adequate yet to educate people.
But there are still things that you know about the real estate business, you know even if you are just reading books there are still things you know that a lot of other people don't know.
[0:14:29.1] WM: Absolutely. And something else that I do as well – is especially because I have been in multiple family for probably a little over eight years now but it is not all been in syndication. And so, what I focus on as well is having a team just like you are talking about. We are in SEC over here so I am going to give it a football analogy. But to me it's like football. There is a reason why you have a quarterback, there is a reason why you have tackle and a tight-end, a receiver, a running back is because they're experts in what they do.
And for me, I am going to throw their best. "Hey look. I am not the best at underwriting but you know what I am the best at? I am the best at going out and getting the experts in those fields and bringing them in on the deal to where everybody is benefiting." You know what I am saying? So, it is not – to me I don't think that I and I am maybe crazy on this but in my opinion, you don't have to have the expert team before you do the deal.
Nor do you have to have the expert team on salary. You know, I have talked to some guys that are like, "I just can't find a good underwriter." It's like well there is tons of them out there that are great underwriters that with 400 bucks they'll run and write a deal for you, you know what I mean? So, they don't have to be a part of your team but what you do need to be – you know the definition of syndication is the pulling of a general interest for a similar interest.
And so, to me, that is not just capital. That is not just deal flow. It is not just the value-added. It is everything. As a syndicator, you need to be pulling together expert knowledge. You need to be pulling together capital, you need to be pulling together deal flows, you need to be pulling together your marketing, you know what I mean? There is a ton of it that there is a lot to it other than just a lot of people get caught up in the capital and the deal. But there is more to it than that in my opinion.
[0:16:11.9] WS: Give me a couple of team members that are very important to you or to your team?
[0:16:15.3] WM: Underwriting is and here is what I do and I recommend this for everybody is to really think about yourself and what your strengths are. So, for me, one of my weakness is underwriting. I mean I understand it and I have to do a quick analogy but to get in dig up and digging to those numbers is not me. I more of a hunter, I go out and I hunt capital, hunt deals and network and find people and make those connections, build that following that's me.
I love this stuff. I love meeting new people and networking – but what I recommend is for everybody to think about your strengths and your weaknesses and find people that compliment you to make a whole team if that makes sense. So, think of it like a 100% and if you are 60% outgoing and this and that and everything but 40% you are not so good at numbers, then find somebody that has that 60% is your 40% so to speak.
And so, what you do is you find a complimentary team surrounded around you. As your strengths and weaknesses and so for me it is definitely underwriting the – you could probably relate to this but when you do that editing and when you get to promoting content and moving this stuff, doing the editing and the video editing and the audio editing and putting all of that stuff together. Again, it is just not my strength. I am like too much entrepreneurial endeavor that is going on to where I get that five minutes into it, I'm like, "Ah! There is also something exciting over here."
[0:17:36.7] WS: Yeah, I tell people we have done over 400 shows I have never edited the first piece of audio or video content and I don't want to. I don't even know how. So, it's from building a great team.
[0:17:46.8] WM: Absolutely and that is the thing and even that you know there again, you can find people in fivver.com, you can find people on upwork.com that can do those things for you for a decent price to where there is no reason anybody should be holding their selves back from, "Oh I can't do this or I can't do that." I mean nowadays there is a connectivity of the world, the internet and this may be I am 32 so this maybe the millennial coming out in me but you know you can reach anybody and anything nowadays if you just have the drive, you know the willpower.
[0:18:21.8] WS: So, Will, what has been the hardest part of this syndication process or journey for you?
[0:18:26.1] WM: The hardest part for me is the fact that I am married with three kids and I still have a house or I have a house, I have truck payments, car payments, schools. Everything that we had to pay for is that especially getting into something like this – don't matter if it is syndicating or starting a new business or anything. It is starting something new and when you do that, for me the biggest burden is that I have what I call now money and I have future money.
And for me what the means is that I am still a general contractor. I still have my import business. I am still believe it, I am a commercial realtor and I could go out and make really, really good money right now but what it does is it takes away from my focus of my legacy, my wealth or my generational wealth that I really honestly believe that is imbedded in multifamily or syndicating the real estate. You know real estate is the true – to me I just believe in it so much.
So, for me the hardest thing is saying, "Okay, delegating do I go out and make some money today to pay the bills? Do I go out and invest time and money and resources into travelling and looking at this deal or looking at that deal?" And so, I mean that is the reality of it. I am not trying to sit here and say that I am so guru that makes $300 million a year. I am not there yet. I will be. That is my goal is to one day be as big as the biggest guy out there if not bigger but right now, the biggest hurdle for me –
Well even coming I mean up to this point the biggest hurdle is making sure that my family is taken care of, making sure my obligations because I have those obligations before I said, "Hey I am going to be a syndicator, you know what I mean?
[0:20:02.9] WS: That is a big-time commitment no doubt about it. And yeah, I like how you said there is a now money and a later money or you know I can relate to that, for sure. So, tell me, how do you prepare for this potential downturn that everybody talks about?
[0:20:15.9] WM: Well, I will tell you what I have done is I have diversified a little bit away from multifamily as much and you know to me, I don't know how to explain it unless you've been in it. To me, I feel a little pressure. I call it market pressure or whatever and these are crazy terms that I come up with all by myself but I don't know if they are real terms or not. But to me, I call it market pressure and you just got to be in it to feel it and what I am judging is the processing to be coming up.
You know the corridor process seems to be coming up, you know you getting multiple bids. I mean even the first year, we had a lot of like off market stuff and they don't seem like you are getting any kind of off market stuff now. So, I am actually diversifying a little bit into a similar, to literally the same system I guess you could call it the same syndication. That is it, the independent senior living and the only difference is if you are doing new construction, you got a little bit of a carry over there at the front just before it stabilizes.
But looking into independent senior living. I hate to say the storage stuff because I am looking it but I am not in there. So, what I am doing is I am trying to diversify a little bit. I don't want to put all of my eggs in one basket. But I do want to stay with the same syndication process and that system. Because I am a firm believer in how that works, how are you able to pull other people's money. How to leverage other people's expertise and for a general gain.
So also looking at some tax stuff too, so I am using some bond deals, multifamily properties for low income housing. So, three or four different things that I am looking at in anticipation that something is going to happen. And the way I look at it is if things keep going here because I am not a fortuneteller. I am not these voodoo guys where if the economy keeps doing great then I am going to do great. If it does go down then I still feel like these are trends especially in the affordable housing, I still feel like it is going to be okay. So that is kind of my play.
[0:22:08.2] WS: No, so we just have a couple of minutes before we have to go but tell me what is a way you have recently improved your business that we could apply to ours?
[0:22:16.5] WM: The biggest thing I am telling you is just push-push-push on social media. Gain attention. That attention is going to connect you to people. It is going to grow your network. It is going to connect you to capitals but it going to connect you to deals. It is going to connect you to great people doing great things and it goes back to your circle of influence.
[0:22:33.1] WS: What is your best advice for caring for investors?
[0:22:35.7] WM: Transparency. Be honest. You know we were talking about being from eastern Kentucky and small towns in eastern Kentucky you know if you are not honest, they'll find out real quick because everybody knows everybody. So, you know I am just a stickler for being honest whether it is good or bad. A lot of people don't want to be that bearer of bad news.
But at the end of the day, you know that is the reason why you are an entrepreneur. It is not always sweet tarts and rainbows, you know it's hard and somebody's got to be willing to put on your big boy pants and go out there and deliver the good or bad news. The good, the bad and ugly.
[0:23:05.7] WS: What is the number one thing that's contributed to your success?
[0:23:08.7] WM: I would say confidence. Having the gall to jump on an interview like this with you. I've got an event. I am speaking out in December. You know having the gall to jump out there and speak on a stage and you know. Having the gall to call somebody just people build it up in their head that it is this big deal. But in reality, I mean just have the confidence to go boldly and you will reap the benefits.
[0:23:28.8] WS: And tell us how you like to give back?
[0:23:31.0] WM: What I am doing here. I don't – anybody can message me, call me, whatever. Well, I don't say call me all the time but you can message me anytime you want to, reach out. I will help you anyway I can. I don't care if it is putting up pay or if it is helping you syndicate or raise capital for $30 million I will help you anyway I can. I have some people that helped me and I have some people that didn't help me on my journey.
And honestly the people that didn't help me inspire me more to help others than the people than did because they run some great positions to help me. And they didn't because they were snooty and just didn't want to share and I am not one of those guys. I want everybody to be successful. There is enough money in this world for everybody. So no shortage of money.
[0:24:09.9] WS: I appreciate your time today, Will and sharing with us. And I appreciate how you laid out many things but even the entertain, engage, educate just you know, making it simple so people can get out there and get their platform started in some way and I talk to people about that a lot as well. So, I can't agree with you more. But thank you again. Tell the listeners how they can get in touch with you?
[0:24:27.4] WM: Really social media, please reach out on social media. That is the best way I think it is @heywillmorris is sort of my handle on Twitter and Instagram. And Facebook, you can just search Will Morris on LinkedIn, search Will Morris, m-o-r-r-i-s, and just reach out to me, message me, let us connect. We can set up a call and go from there.

Origin, biodiversity, and extinction of Cretaceous ichthyosaurs

Fischer, V.
Ichthyosauria is a group of reptiles that colonized numerous niches in Mesozoic marine ecosystems. Their Cretaceous representatives were however regarded as undiversified, especially compared to their Triassic and Jurassic ancestors, because only a few species are regarded as valid in the Cretaceous. Besides, most of them belong to a single genus,
, whose taxonomy and phylogeny are problematic. Therefore, Cretaceous ichthyosaurs have been widely considered as the last members of a group on the decline, although the timing, the cause and the magnitude of their extinction phases greatly vary among authors. Yet, a great part of the Cretaceous ichthyosaur record, the Eurasian material, has been neglected from more than 100 years; theories explaining the evolution of the last ichthyosaurs therefore miss the biggest part of the picture. Notably, how ichthyosaurs diversified and went extinct during the Cretaceous is basically unknown. To tackle these topics, I assess the taxonomy of Cretaceous ichthyosaurs from Eurasia, test their phylogenetic position within a global analysis of post-Triassic ichthyosaurs, evaluate their ecological diversity and analyse their phases of radiation and extinction.Assessment of the Eurasian material led to the discovery of seven new taxa ("Iraq animal",
Acamptonectes densus
, "Lenin Form",
Sveltonectes insolitus, Sveltonectes
"Ebbo Form", "Sisteron Form", "Colossal Form") and the re-installation of several other taxa as valid (
Simbirskiasaurus birjukovi, P. bannovkensis, Cetarthrosaurus walkeri, P. hercynicus
). Morphological and phylogenetic evidence suggest
hides a very large generic diversity and should be limited to its type species
P. platydactylus
; however, the interrelationships of the large platypterygiine ichthyosaurs from the Aptian–Cenomanian interval are poorly constrained. Phylogenetic analyses provide robust evidence for disparate origins of Cretaceous ichthyosaurs; these animals actually belonged to three distinct clades that diverged several tens of million years before the Cretaceous. These three clades had contrasted evolutionary histories and colonized disctinct ecological niches during the Cretaceous. Survival and extinction rates demonstrate ichthyosaurs suffered no extinction event at the Jurassic–Cretaceous boundary. They were therefore highly diverse during the Cretaceous, although the sampling of some stages remains inadequate. Notably, up to eight genera were present during the late Albian, a few million years before their final extinction. This extinction appears staggered over four phases that span the entire Cenomanian stage; it also forms one of the facets of a much wider event that affected most levels of marine trophic chains during the Cenomanian. Compilation of published data and collaborations with other specialists show that the radiation of snakes, mosasaurs, and numerous lineages of modern fishes, the severe extinctions among cephalopods and rudist bivalves and the complete extinction of ichthyosaurs likely belong to the same global turnover event. The magnitude, diversity and simultaneity of the biotic responses strongly suggest that global physico-chemical factors triggered this profound reorganization of the marine ecosystems, notably the conjunction of a rather brutal onset of extremely high temperatures and sea level, intense marine volcanism and phases of worldwide ocean anoxia.

'This fiend-devil is really reckless. Does he actually think he can just take the Grand Emperor's Pagoda from me? This pagoda has been marked by the God Legion Seal, so not even a Great Sage could take it away, not even Grand Emperor Rich-Lush himself. He thinks he's refining it with devilfire, but after being filtered by the Strength of the Hell-Crushing Godmammoth, that fire just helps me refine the flesh and blood of the asura.'
Of course, Yang Qi didn't take the thing to be stupid. Most likely, anyone in this fiend-devil's position would try to do the same thing. How could any of them know how much of a freak Yang Qi was?
As the devilfire entered the dimension inside of the Grand Emperor's Pagoda, Yang Qi loosened the warding magics to make the path clearer. Soon, it was pouring into the Hellfire Crucible to help refine the asura.
"Hmm?" After some time passed, the fiend-devil was surprised to find that its devilfire was just disappearing into the pagoda. It thought for a moment, and then a vicious grin spread out across its face. "You're too weak, brat. You think you can use this treasure to absorb devilfire? Maybe you can absorb a little, but too much, and you're dead. Let's see what your true limits are! Heaven-Devil Rageflame! Eradicate the world!"
Instantly, his shadow shattered into a thousand separate entities which surrounded the pagoda and unleashed an intense type of devilfire. It was obviously dead set on killing Yang Qi and taking this treasure.
And yet, despite that, Yang Qi felt more comfortable than ever.
It was almost like having a top expert intentionally impart powerful energy arts to him to help with his cultivation.
Not even a loving father would be able to help his child this much.
In fact, Yang Qi now realized that this fiend-devil was actually a bit charming in certain ways.
'Keep going! This is great. After all this time, maybe I can fully refine that asura's flesh and blood. Oh, right! I can also use the power of the devilfire to refine the demon core of that corpse king.' As the devilfire continued to erupt, the flames began to take the shape of heaven-devils. And it was all so beneficial that Yang Qi almost wanted to issue a call summoning more fiend-devils to add fuel to the fire.
The raging Heaven-Devil Rageflame that wrapped him up was helping his Physique of the Sovereign Lord, and as it coursed through his meridians, acupoints, and sea of energy, it filled him with more power, and pushed him closer to the Space-Void Transformation.
The third transformation was a watershed of sorts. Those who mastered it could leave the world they inhabited and travel to locations of profound danger.
Normally speaking, it should have taken him dozens of years to reach this point. Perhaps even a hundred. But now, this 'selfless philanthropist' of a fiend-devil was helping him to achieve incredible progress in a short time.
Soon, the corpse king's demon core was out in the open, pulsing with the power of a domain. If Yang Qi absorbed it, he could make use of a temporary domain, the Zombie Kingdom. However, that would be of little use to him. It was like nothing compared to the God Legion Paradise that he would eventually be able to summon. That having been said, the demon core could be of some help to his spore-devil.
If the spore-devil absorbed it, it could unleash a domain of its own, which would make it possible for it to summon flesh and blood wretch devils from out in the void.
Right now, the only thing it could summon were devil-ghosts with spirit bodies. Flesh and blood creatures were an entirely different story.
But with a personal domain, the spore-devil could set up spatial spell formations of immense power.
The truth was that, in the Space-Void Transformation, the Hell Portal would transform, becoming a spatial spell formation that Yang Qi could use to connect to certain fiend-devil planes of existence.
Spell formations powered by domains were even stronger.
Now, not only could he summon fiend-devils in the Space-Void Transformation, but instead of being limited to drawing on targets nearby, he could summon them from afar. At the moment, he couldn't truly reach into hell, but being able to connect to other planes was certainly a huge improvement.
'Heaven-Devil Rageflame! Help me refine this demon core!'
With both his true energy and the Heaven-Devil Rageflame assaulting the demon core, it soon began to emit dazzling light.
Another moment passed, and it exploded, causing an enormous domain to spread out, filled with corpse energy, which took the shape of an enormous, writhing dragon.
Without any hesitation, Yang Qi tossed it into the Hellfire Crucible.
Then, he guided the Heaven-Devil Rageflame in as well, using the crucible to combine it with the domain.
The Hell Portal changed once again, becoming more corporeal, and its summoning function more powerful.
Meanwhile, off in the distance in the hell monsoon, other powerful fiend-devil counts had taken note of what was happening. In particular, there was a group who had arrived recently from a plane that bordered the Hell of Euphoria, and had been conscripted to besiege the sealing marks.
"That exalted Ghost-God Legendary appears to be refining a human. Is the human crazy? I can't believe he would dare to come here and try to repair these sealing marks."
"It doesn't matter. That exalted superior is definitely going to get that treasure. We won't get even the tiniest share."
"It's a real pity. We just got here to the Yore-Wilds Continent to share in the slaughter, and to feast on endless blood. But in the end, we were tasked with destroying the sealing marks. It's such hard work!"
"Uh, have you forgotten that there hasn't been a Yore-Wilds Continent for a long time now? It was destroyed! We're outside of the Rich-Lush Continent, not the Yore-Wilds Continent. Hurry up and destroy these sealing marks. The sooner we do, the sooner we'll have a nice continent to invade. The Rich-Lush Continent was once a tiny part of the Yore-Wilds Continent, but its small size belies its importance. The entire continent is a huge teleportation portal, a hub of sorts. Once you get there, there will be plenty of other continents to go to."
"Hey, what do you say we jump to a place where we can see a fiend-devil prince?"
"Fiend-devil prince?" said one of the fiend-devil counts, a particularly powerful one in the third Legendary transformation. "Don't tell me you've seen one before? I highly doubt it. They're honorable beyond measure, and far more powerful than the Great Sage level. You know, I happen to have seen some of our fiend-devil dukes who are Great Sages."
"I've never seen one either, but I've heard that in the ancient Hell of Euphoria, there are plenty of fiend-devil princes. There are even fiend-devil emperors, boundlessly respected god-devils from ancient times. They're the type who can match up with true god-spirits." This particular Blood-Form Legendary fiend-devil was referring to ancient mythology.
"It's too bad we're not from the Hell of Euphoria. We'll never get the chance to see fabled entities like that."
There were more than ten fiend-devils in this group, the most powerful being in the Space-Void Transformation, and the weakest being Quinary Lifeseizer viscounts. Even as they chatted in the midst of the hell monsoon, discussing this matter and that, a huge spatial gateway appeared in front of them. In the blink of an eye, it erupted with stifling power that caused their souls to go still.
It was none other than Yang Qi's Hell Portal, which quickly whisked them into his Grand Emperor's Pagoda.
Before they could react, they were captured and tossed into a massive crucible, where they were burned alive, and their demon cores extracted.
Yang Qi was very pleased that his summoning had worked, and that he had easily been able to capture such beings.
Inside the Hell Portal, his spore-devil was already transforming from an entity with three heads and six arms, to one with four heads and eight arms. The process continued as the devilfire improved it, and the domain became stable. By that time, it had thirty-six heads and seventy-two arms.
It was now far, far more powerful than Yang Qi himself.
By now, the asura's flesh and blood was dripping with bright red fluid, which dropped into the Hell Portal and transformed into spatial fragments.
As the spatial fragments were then burned by the Hellfire Crucible, they became part of Yang Qi's true energy, and caused his Sovereign Lord True Energy to become even stronger.
That was his path to the third Legendary transformation, and becoming a Space-Void Legendary.Previous Chapter Next Chapter

Under Pressure: A Forum on Student Stress
Dear Students:
In my daily interactions with all corners of the Institute, I often hear students express feelings of being overwhelmed. The challenges of living and learning at MIT push us to excel, but can also leave us feeling insecure and lonely. Last semester, Lydia K's blog post "Meltdown" on the Admissions website, and The Tech's December 7 issue "Under Pressure" helped to broaden the conversation and give students the opportunity to share their own perspectives.
In collaboration with The Tech, I am pleased to invite you to attend "Under Pressure: A Forum on Student Stress." We hope to build on the momentum created by Lydia K and The Tech by sharing information about resources on campus and encouraging students to engage one another and the administration in action-oriented dialog.
The event is scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, February 12 (5:00 to 8:00 pm) in Room 10-250.
Please RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com. We hope you will join us to share your thoughts about this important issue.

Soccer is now a excellent sport due to a in length history and its start can end traced away to some mid nineteenth century. Sports history would be able to be tracked back so that you can the many kinds of forms out of football so was trendy in Britain in an late 1840's. Even then, historians sense that nfl history can be dated back on 1004 B.C when professional in Japan used to kick around a party around a small line. Interestingly Chinese language program historical texting have announced that any kind of a game relevant to day nfl was to get played aside between teams from The japanese and China based websites around ought to B.C.
Soccer history also finds that Romans played the particular version of modern nfl and things was possibly even introduced into the original Roman Olympic games. But in about the reasonably early Roman Olympics, soccer teams had 20 players from each side battling in order for the trophy. According into soccer history, modern new day soccer was into every day living when ones first installed of rules for all the game has been drawn ready in 1848 at the Cambridge Education. Come into think of it – England's Cal . king Edward (1307-1327) had actually passed per law risking imprisonment to anyone just who played usually the game.

|14/26449-7 - Structure and spontaneity in corporeal mimesis and word mimesis as premises to think about stage presence, BP.IC
In this project I intend to elaborate a research with the teacher and researcher Josette Féral at the University Paris Sorbonne III, to develop and deepen theoretical discussions about the presence of the actor, the structure, the spontaneity and to present reflections on stage presence. The research will be made by interviews with Josette Féral from France, one of the most important researchers of contemporary theory in the area of theater, who will be my supervisor. It will also be made through detailed studies of concepts such as training, physical and vocal actions, impulses, acting and stage presence, in its research and publications. My goal is to link together the investigated concepts of the research of Josette Féral with the methodology of corporeal mimesis that have been developed by LUME (Interdisciplinary Center of Theatrical Research - UNICAMP) and by my student counselor in Brazil, Raquel Scotti Hirson. After that I presented my project and developed questions on the topics listed above for the teacher Josette Féral, she accepted to guide me in this International Research Internship that is expected to start in February 2016. It would be a great opportunity for deepening in the research of stage presence through the corporeal mimesis methodology.

TEXARKANA, Ark. (KTAL/KMSS) – Arkansas Lt. Gov. Tim Griffin says the state needs to continue its focus on job growth.
Griffin visited with members of the Miller County Republican Committee on Tuesday.
He said the Natural State's made some strides competing with Texas and other states by lowering taxes, but Griffin said one thing that's holding the state back is lack of literacy.
"If you cannot read, you are more likely to end up in prison, you are more likely to end up unemployed, etc., etc.," said Griffin. "So, we have got to treat our illiteracy as the emergency that it is."
The two-term lieutenant governor confirmed earlier this year he plans to run for governor in the next race. He called it "a natural progression."

« Best. Compliment. Ever. | Main | Birthday Spice »
Labor Negotiations
I thought for sure that the five deer we saw sleeping in our backyard yesterday morning were a sign from above that Shrimpy was arriving. My theory was that Mother Nature sensed the impending arrival of our wee one and sent all creatures great and small to welcome it. Or, five deer representing all creatures great and small. Whatever.
So, I spent the day cleaning the entire house, doing laundry, showering, shaving, moisturizing, meticulously blow-drying my hair, and every other beauty preparation I could dream up (including cleaning every crevice of both ears with a Q-tip and hydrogen peroxide). I even went and got a cheap manicure. It was like I was getting ready for a date! Needless to say, I got stood up.
Today's plan includes hanging some shelves in the nursery, walking around Lake Harriet in an attempt to induce labor, further verbal negotiations with the fetus (this mostly consists of me looking at my belly and shrieking, "Shrimpy, please! Come out!!!"). When all of that fails to produce any results, I plan to flop my body on the basement couch in defeat and watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy with a bag of microwave popcorn. Viggo cures all.
Tomorrow is my 31st birthday and for the first time in my life I haven't put much (if any) thought into it. I haven't planned a party. I haven't sent out countdown emails to all my friends and relatives. I haven't even publicly reminded anyone that I have an Amazon wishlist for your convenience! Weird.Posted January 15, 2006 10:49 AM | On This Day: 2004 2003

North Carolina's second-ranked baseball team boosted by service dog
As the North Carolina baseball team begins its quest for the program's first national championship, the Tar Heels are drawing inspiration from a different sort of teammate.
A 2-year-old Golden Retriever named Remington has been with the team all season long, providing an emotional boost for the Tar Heels players.
Remington belongs to head athletic trainer Terri Jo Rucinski and his official title is "psychiatric medical alert facility rehabilitation service dog." When he's not helping injured players through their rehabilitation, Remington is just like any other member of the team.
He holds his cap during the national anthem, takes baseballs to the umpires and gives celebratory "paw" bumps in the dugout.
"This is the first time I've ever had a dog or any sort of assistance dog helping out with any team I've been a part of," junior outfielder Brian Miller told the UNC website. "It's like a bond that I have with any of my teammates really."
The Tar Heels (47-12) rose to a No. 2 ranking this season and will host a regional in Chapel Hill when the NCAA baseball tournament begins Friday.
"I'd like to think he had something to do with it," Rucinski said of Remington contributing to the Tar Heels' success.
UNC has reached the College World Series 10 times, six times under current head coach Mike Fox, and finished as the runner-up in 2006 and 2007. If they get to Omaha again this year, Remington will be right there with them.
After 9 1/2 hours and several rain delays the #unc #DiamondHeels beat #Miami 12-4 yesterday! We are playing for the #ACC Championship today against #Florida State at noon! Another great day to be a #tarheel! #goheels #homerunremington #healtheheels #paws4people #paws4vets #assistancedogs #transforminglives

The Hilton Blackpool hotel is to leave the chain, but a new Hampton opens
Links on Head for Points may pay us an affiliate commission. A list of partners is here.
The Hilton in Blackpool is leaving the chain on 26th June. The hotel is not closing but it is not clear what brand, if any, will take it over.
The good news for Hilton loyalists is that a new Hampton has recently opened (website here, image above) and is getting good reviews. The most recent TripAdvisor review (for what it's worth!) says:
With the sad news that the Hilton Blackpool is to be no more…. I decided to try the new Hampton by Hilton on South Promenade. Having used other Hampton by Hilton on occasions I know they are a limited service operation but still Hilton standards. OMG…..this hotel is superb. Great staff….superb rooms that put 4 star hotels to shame….great traditional food and a warm welcome. And the views from the ceiling to floor windows is amazing. Tram stop directly outside….so no issues. Without doubt the best Hampton by Hilton I have stayed in and puts a lot of the core brand to shame….will return without doubt. It is good to see the quality like this in Blackpool.
Hilton's Bastille gig
Talking of Hilton, thanks to everyone who came over to say 'hi' at the Hilton Honors Bastille gig on Saturday night. It was good to meet so many of you. Mark Weinstein, the global head of Hilton Honors, came over at the end for a chat with our little group. I'm in Washington next week to have a longer chat with him about what is going on at Hilton and their plans for the future.
How to earn Hilton Honors points via UK credit cards
As a reminder, there are various ways of earning Hilton Honors points from UK credit cards. Many cards also have generous sign-up bonuses!
Do you know that holders of The Platinum Card from American Express receive FREE Hilton Honors Gold status for as long as they hold the card? It also comes with Marriott Bonvoy Gold, Radisson Rewards Gold, Shangri-La Golden Circle Jade and Melia Rewards Gold status. We reviewed American Express Platinum in detail here.

The Walking Dead Crossover: Lennie James Opens Up On Next Big Jump
The Walking Dead universe will continue to get smaller when Fear the Walking Dead returns on Sunday night. Following the first crossover between the two shows which brought Lennie James to Fear as his Morgan Jones character, Austin Amelio will follow such a lead and reprise his role as Dwight on the sibling series. The debut will come within the first four episodes. While thorough details have not yet been revealed, James has finally opened up about another Walking Dead actor joining him on Fear.
Fear the Walking Dead will mark the first time James and Amelio have scenes in which their characters speak despite overlapping on The Walking Dead for nearly three entire seasons. "We had been in scenes together but our characters had never spoken, which is very interesting," James told DailyNews. "Myself and Austin got together and sat down and plotted out our mutual histories and what we might have known about each other. We never interacted."
That shared history includes the All Out War story which pitted Morgan's leader Rick against Dwight's dictator Negan. "I think because of the battle with Negan and the role that Dwight played in that that, Morgan would have been privy to some of the subterfuge that was going on there," James said. "We had been in maybe two scenes but they were huge battle scenes or crossing paths. We kept trying to find someplace where we nodded or shook hands or were in the same room together and there just wasn't. So it was really exciting when that happened over here."
As Morgan continues to emerge as a leader of Fear the Walking Dead, his relationship with Dwight could play a key role in defining his style. "We had to talk it through because some of the things we just had to take on assumption because we never actually saw them," he adds. "Morgan might have been privy to the fact that Dwight was sent away. He might not have, so we have to make those decisions for ourselves."
The stunt folks on Fear the Walking Dead better beware, though. James brought his iconic fighting stick from The Walking Dead over to Fear and he knows how to almost accidentally injure people with it. "Someone threw the staff to me and I picked it up and as I caught it in the air, I spin around and bring it around a stunt guy's face," James explained. "One time, I mistimed it and I hit the stunt man. Luckily, it was one of our softer sticks, but I caught him good. It's not something I'm proud of and I apologized greatly."
That same stunt performer also crossed over. "Then, we were doing another stunt on Fear and the stunt guy turned out to be the same guy," James said. "He introduced himself by going, 'I'm the guy you nearly knocked out with the staff.'"
The Walking Dead returns for its tenth season in October. Fear the Walking Dead airs Sunday nights at 9pm ET.
