Elfen’s YouTube Channel of the week Company Man
Today I was looking at YouTube videos and started looking at one of my many favorite YouTubers who goes by the name of Mike. I happened to find his channel while my moms and I was discussing the closer of Kmart and found his video. He drew me in. I love his style of explaining who, what, where, when and how. A product like the pet rock. And the history of how a company started, their decline (if it happened) and the companies future. Youtube creaters are the TRUE money makers. In the coming weeks I’ll be featuring a variety of YouTube creaters that started it all. Lovelyti, Company Man, Andre “Black Nerd”, Anime reviews by Glass Reflections…

No wonder the corporations like NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN and FOX feel threaten by these talented content creators. I’m proud to say I’ve watched his channel grow! So go checkout Company Man today! Mike keeps it simple to find him. After you watch his video go to his twitter https://twitter.com/MikeCompany17?s=17
Jay-Z Is Now President of Puma’s Basketball Operations
Jay-Z continues to make power moves after droping his joint album with goddess Beyonce
Adam Petrick, Puma’s global director of brand and marketing, told Complex: “We’ve been working with Roc Nation for quite some time. They’ve been great partners to us for several years. We’ve done many different deals with many different ambassadors.” He added that when the company went to Jigga about the deal, the rapper and business mogul felt that it “was something he wanted to be a part of.”
In addition to Jay-Z, Complex reports, the company has signed top NBA draft prospects DeAndre Ayton from the University of Arizona, Marvin Bagley III from Duke and Zhaire Smith from Texas Tech.
Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, will play an active role in selecting players to join Puma’s basketball division as well as assisting in the art design and overall concept and direction of the brand.
Puma and Jay-Z have already been in business together for over a year, according to ESPN. He was outfitted in Puma sneakers and apparel during his 2017 promotional tour for his 4:44 album.
“What’s important to him on a day like today is that it’s clear we’re making a serious push with players like Bagley and Ayton and Smith. We’re making a serious statement about the entry of the category, that we want to be a performance brand, but then also very culturally focused. It’s clear that we’re looking at basketball through the lens of culture, and thinking about the fashion of basketball, the music of basketball, all the aspects of culture around basketball, as much as the on-court presence that we will have,” Petrick said, according to Complex.

Dr Dre to make Marvin Gaye biopic with rights to singer’s catalogue
The rapper, whose film credits include Straight Outta Compton, has the singer’s family estate’s blessing to produce the biopic
The rapper and business mogul Dr Dre is working on a movie about the Motown legend Marvin Gaye, who died in 1984 after being shot by his father.
Dr Dre, founder of Beats Electronics and one of the four original members of the rap group NWA, served as a producer for the Oscar-nominated film Straight Outta Compton, which told NWA’s origin story in southern California. According to Variety, he’s secured the rights to Gaye’s musical catalogue, which includes hits such as What’s Going On and Sexual Healing, and the approval of the Gaye family estate.
The biopic will not mark the first time someone has attempted to dramatize Gaye’s life on-screen. In 2016, the singer’s estate approved of a limited series starring Jamie Foxx, the first such project to receive the family’s blessing after attempts were made by industry heavyweights such as Cameron Crowe, James Gandolfini and Scott Rudin to produce his life story. Additionally, a documentary about Gaye’s life featuring never-before-seen footage, What’s Going On, was slated to go be released in 2017 but remains in development.
“This project will be a powerful and definitive telling of Marvin Gaye’s life story,” said Gaye’s son, Marvin Gaye III, about the Foxx-produced series at the time.
While the status of the limited series is unclear, Dr Dre is moving ahead with his first feature film since Compton, which grossed over $200m worldwide and was nominated for best original screenplay at the 2016 Academy Awards. The rapper and producer, whose real name is Andre Young, was a subject of the 2017 HBO docu-series The Defiant Ones, in which he can be seen mixing a version of the Gaye classic I Want You.

Chadwick Boseman Gives His MTV Movie ‘Best Hero’ Award To Waffle House Shooting Hero James Shaw Jr.
Yes, this is my King 😉
Our favorite superhero Chadwick Boseman gave his MTV Movie and TV Award to a real-life hero.
During his acceptance speech, Boseman thanked his fans for the honor but decided the popcorn statue should have another home.
“Receiving an award for playing a superhero is amazing, but it’s even greater to acknowledge the heroes that we have in real life,” Boseman said. “So I just want to acknowledge somebody that’s here today. James Shaw Jr. Where are you? Stand. If you don’t know James Shaw Jr., he fought off a gunman in Antioch, Tennessee at a Waffle House. He saved lives. Come on up here.”
The surprised Shaw took the stage, and Boseman handed him the award.
“This is gonna live at your house,” he said as the crowd cheered.
Shaw is widely considered a hero for fighting the gunman who shot up a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, in April. After news of his actions broke, Shaw admitted to having conflicting feelings about being called a hero. He later raised $90,000 for the shooting victims’ families.
“I’m not a hero,” Shaw said days after the shooting. “I’m just a regular person. I think anybody could have did what I did if they’re pushed. You have to either react or fall. I chose to react because I didn’t see any other way to live.”
Check out the exchange below:

Jada Pinkett-Smith Opens Up About Her Friendship With Tupac, Says She’s Angry Because She Thought He’d Still Be Here
“I’ve had a lot of loss. So many of my close friends gone. They didn’t make it to 30. They didn’t make it past 25. A lot of people talk about my relationship with Pac and figure that out. That was a huge loss in my life,” Pinkett-Smith said.
She continued, “Because he was one of those people I expected to be here. My upset is more anger because I feel like he left me. And I know that’s not true and it’s a very selfish way to think about it… I really did believe he’d be here for the long run. And when I think about it I still get really mad.”

40 killed in armed bandit attack in northwest Nigeria
MAIDGURI, Nigeria — Armed bandits attacked a village in Nigeria’s northwest Kaduna state, killing at least 40 people, residents and officials said.
Police Inspector General Ibrahim Idris confirmed the bandits invaded the village of Gwaska Saturday, fighting local defense forces protecting the Birnin Gwari local government area, a community of about 3,000 people. He said 200 policemen and 10 patrol vehicles were deployed to the scene.
A resident who helped fight the bandits said at least 40 people were killed and the toll will likely climb. He spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons. He said the attackers were from Zamfara state, and that they shot at children and torched houses as residents fled.
The attack came about a week after other unidentified gunmen attacked a nearby village.
The Kaduna State government confirmed the attack but didn’t give a casualty figure.
In a statement, the local government said it is concerned by the incessant banditry attacks in the region and has been engaging with the federal government on the matter.
“The Kaduna State Government has received with sadness reports of the murder of our citizens by armed bandits in Birnin Gwari,” it said, adding that it is committed to resolving the problem.
President Muhammadu Buhari has approved the establishment of a permanent battalion of the Nigerian Army in the Birnin Gwari area.
The State Emergency Management Agency is providing aid to those affected, it said.

Netflix 13 Reasons Why Season 2 releases a PSA Suicide prevention is it good enough?
The first season of Netflix 13 Reasons Why. Promos were/are appealing, unique and intriguing. I’d even say sexy. Netflix 13 Reasons Why tells a story of Hannah Baker who commits suicide but before her tragic end she buys a pack of blank cassette tapes. Records her truth of 13 reasons why to her 13 friends as to her reasons she commits suicide . The dialuge. The music, the graphics. And the images of the old school audio tapes. Draws you in.
Yeah this Netflix series glamorizes suicide. Before It’s release . The excitement around the show. Critic reviews. And the social media commentary. Was very positive. With a few keyboard gangsta trolls. Putting their asshole opinion in the mix. Everyone has one right? There was the forgotten, the very impressionable. Vulnerable suicidal pre teen. That Teen and that young 20 something college kid. We live in a social media FB LIVE Snapchat IG world. Of monkey see monkey do. Before and after the Netflix premier. Suicide prevention experts. Raised concern lead to a suicide-contagion effect and a spate of copycat attempts. Research published at the end of July 2017 argued that those concerns may have been founded. Google queries about suicide rose by almost 20 percent in 19 days after the show came out, representing between 900,000 and 1.5 million more searches than usual regarding the subject. Reading these statistics is just terrifying. Yes there have been some copycat suicides after these vonrable impressionable young viewers watched Netflix 13 Reasons Why. Two Suicides really got me. Was the two californa teens Bella Herndon and Percila Chi who committed suicide just hours of it’s premiere. In their parents grief they want Netflix to stop airing season 1 and cancel plans of season 2.
One of the parents saying that the Netflix show gives a blueprint for suicide. They said that the Netflix show was a blueprint for suicide. But is it really a blueprint for suicide for EVERY CHILD OR ADULT? Or is it for the vonarable suicidal teen?
That vonarable pre teen. That vonrable young adult. Or that vonrable older adult. Who are unable to distinguish right from wrong. We can’t just blame Netflix programming. On a preisting problem. If WE know of a loved one who is suicidal and has suicidal thoughts. We have to be diligent and know who? what? where?
