Waching daily Mar 26 2018

One of the most common money questions I get is,

"Rachel, I feel like I work so hard,

and I look up a week, or maybe a month later,

I'm like, where did my paycheck go?

I have no idea what's happening!"

Listen, happens to a lot of people.

But it doesn't have to happen to you anymore,

so I have a three-part plan for you to master your income.

(upbeat music)

Jumping right in to the exciting Mastering Your Income Plan.

Number one, budget!

Budget, you guys!

So many people do not do this

and it's one of the biggest money mistakes you make.

If you are not in control

and you don't happen to your money,

your money is going to happen to you.

You have to be focused on this.

Now the most efficient budget, the most accurate budget,

is a zero-based budget,

where you take your income for the month

minus all your expenses.

And I say expenses,

but I also mean giving and saving in there as well.

Everything you put money toward,

that added up, minus your income, should equal zero.

So every dollar you have coming in is assigned to a category.

And there are some great budgeting tools out there.

My favorite is EveryDollar.

It's awesome, because there's even EveryDollar Plus, and

it connects to your bank,

your transactions come in, it's fabulous.

But budgeting is so, so key, again,

for being intentional with where your money's going,

and it's gonna be tough. If you've never done this before,

give yourself 90 days to get your budget to work.

Stick with it.

It's gonna take a little adjusting, but you can get there.

Number two is to pay off debt.

So much of people's income

goes straight back out the door in payments,

'cause you have two car payments, you have credit cards,

you're still paying for your wedding, student loans,

it's just constantly money going out.

If you're not intentional about paying it off quickly,

you're gonna live in that life for decades and decades.

So, the most efficient way to get out of debt

is to list out all of your debts, smallest to largest,

regardless of the interest rate.

Pay minimum payments on all of them,

and pay off the smallest debt first.

Once that's paid off,

take everything you were paying on that,

roll it over to the second smallest debt.

Now the great thing about budgeting

is you can look at your budget and say,

"Oh, wow, we don't really need to spend that much on food,"

or, "Eh, we don't need to go shopping this month."

You can take, every month, money out of your budget to say,

"We're gonna take out some of that lifestyle

and put it toward paying off debt."

Getting out of debt frees up your income.

It gets you back in control of your income,

versus it going out to banks all over the world.

Ugh, not good.

And last but not least, save.

Save, save, save.

This is such a hard one,

because we all know we should save,

but doing it is difficult,

because a lot of people say,

"Rachel, by the time I get to the end of the month,

I don't have any money!"

Yeah, that's probably 'cause you're not budgeting

or you're not budgeting correctly.

Your saving in your budget needs to be at the top,

because once you list out all of your bills and you're like,

"Rachel, after I pay for everything,

there is no money left over!"

Well, that means you gotta cut some stuff out

to actually save.

So your goal for saving is to save up $1,000 very quickly.

Then, once you're out of debt,

bump up that $1,000 emergency fund

to three to six months of expenses.

So that's a great place to start saving.

And also, start saving for things like a car

or a vacation you know you have coming up.

Be like, "Okay, how much is that gonna cost us?

How much do we need to put away every month?"

Make saving a habit in your life.

It can be tough at first,

'cause not everyone is a natural saver,

but once you get in the habit of it,

it becomes second nature to you.

It's just what you do.

That's me.

I'm a spender, not a great natural saver,

but since I've been doing this for so long,

I'm like, no, I wanna save!

I wanna be able to save up and pay for things,

'cause I want some awesome stuff.

I wanna go on a great vacation.

So, yeah, I'm gonna save up for fun things,

and for emergency fund and retirement,

but that's for another vlog for another day.

When you're thinking about budgeting and all these things,

you're like, "Oh, there's just so many details."

There's gonna be links in the description below

where I dive deeper into all of these topics.

So, start budgeting, getting out of debt, and saving.

It's gonna be amazing.

Amazing year for you, financially.

I'm so excited.

Hey, YouTube, thanks so much for watching,

and subscribe to my channel!

'Cause there's gonna be really fun stuff happening,

and I want you to get involved,

and I want you to be able to see it.

Why selfies can make your nose look bigger - Duration: 1:57.

There are a lot of ways to take a picture of yourself.

But if you look carefully, something's not quite right about your close-ups.

Selfies can make our faces look weird and it's changing the way we see ourselves, and

the decisions we make about our facial features.

A lot of people think their nose looks big in selfies and it's driving them to get nosejobs.

A 2017 poll found that 55% of facial plastic surgeons saw patients who wanted surgeries

to make them look better in selfies.

That was an increase of 13% from 2016.

But those complaints are often due to a distortion created by the distance between a camera

and a subject.

This is what a portrait looks like from five feet away.

And this is what it looks like from one foot away, about the distance that most people

are taking selfies.

That's a huge difference in facial structures, especially the nose.

A team of researchers found that taking a photo from one foot away, makes the base of

the nose look about 30% larger

and the tip look 7% larger, than they would from a further distance.

From five feet away, your features are flattened.

From a foot, your nose is exaggerated.

So the parts of your face that are close to the camera,

look bigger than they actually are.

It's as if the nose is in the foreground and the ears are in the background, instead of

being on the same plane.

For now, long arms and selfie sticks are your best bet.

But phone camera software might one day be able to alter images with a treatment that

simulates the effect of a distant camera.

Researchers at Princeton created a tool that can manipulate the position and distance between

a camera and the subject, after the photo was taken.

So a close-up selfie like this, can be made to look like it's taken at a more flattering,

natural distance.

It's not perfect, but a version of this technology

could help design the right tool for a forward-facing camera,

one that will make our selfies

feel more like us.

Webshop Do You Need It | BUSINESS TALK - Duration: 5:46.

you're watching ACIERO in Amsterdam today am back again with business talk the most

frequently asked questions in business today I am again with a question from

people I have always come across and it is do I need a web shop ? do I need my

own websites to sell my stuff on online most of the time I get this question from people who

already have a shop and they are thinking maybe it's better to expand

and also sell online and this question is very tricky because one I'll tell you one

thing starting a web store is very time consuming so if you already have a store

and it's taking a lot of your time and you think by starting a webshop you

save more time believe me there is no way your going to save more time when you

start your own web store so what I want to bring up the thing is this before you start

selling your stuff online you have to figure out one thing you know do you

really need a website is the product you are selling a product someone can make a

purchasing decision online is the price the right price that someone can

consider to spend online is your target group spending time online do you think

they'll find your product online if you can't answer those questions for

yourself then you're ready to start

your web shop but the other thing is if you do not have time to

maintain your website maintain your web shop that is no way you're going to

have time to do both your shop and both your website you have to choose unless

you want to pay someone to do your web shop for you

To do the maintenance for you to do

everything and that's really time consuming and also money costly so before

you ask yourself if you need a website first think about all the things your doing

at moment now that don't include you having a website and just double that work with

the web shop because people really really underestimate the work that goes

into making a successful web shop first of all you need to have good photos because one

thing is this people are not touching over and they're not feeling your

product they need to buy your product so if I don't know how your product feels

like if I don't understand you do you know what you need to show me you need

so in order to attract someone to like your product

you need to have good photos good descriptions good search optimization

everything that a good website has you need to have that you need to master the

skills and you also need to have money to do more advertising and if you feel

that you already done that for your store and it's too much you can pick

up something else like that then please do not waste your time to do not start a web store

because it's more time-consuming than having a store

believe me I've done that I know The other thing you should consider is

what is your budget because if you are big

company and you have many shops or you have a lot of

money then you can finance having a workshop then you

can hire a few extra hands for people to help you to start your

your web shop or web store and that's doable if you have people

to help you talk but if your the store owner and maybe your two partners or two people doing

something it's too much you can't do the website and do the store it's

too much work and I don't know if it's worth it and I don't know it at the end of the day you

get out what you want but expectations please limit them yeah limit your

expectations one of the thing I feel is before you start a web-shop start

thinking of maybe trying to sell your products on other platforms that are

already you know already selling stuff like you know the platforms like eBay

Facebook shops that kind of thing before you start your own web store because if

you practiced selling on those other website there is no way that you will

fail to sell on your website because then you understand difficulty and

challenges that are starting with your webshop yeah so today that was it and I

hope you have your answer and I hope you start your own website or

maybe don't start it but you need to consider the five things

that's the price, purchase decision the product your selling your target group

How To Remove People From Photos in Photoshop - Duration: 11:15.

In this video,

I'm going to show you

how to remove people from photos in Photoshop.

Hi, welcome back to the Photoshop Training Channel.

I'm Jesus Ramirez.

In this video, I'm going to show you how to remove people

from crowded places in Photoshop.

We're going to use Stack Modes and Statistics for that,

and I know that you may now know

what that means yet, but you will at the endof the tutorial.

Before we actually start with the tutorial, I want to mention that this is a follow-up

to a previous tutorial that I did, called

"How to Remove Anything from a Photo in Photoshop".

In that tutorial, we used three different techniques to remove the distracting element.

We used Content-Aware Fill,

the Patch Tool,

and the Clone Stamp Tool.

In that tutorial, I used one image, and I used one of those techniques or tools

to remove the distracting element.

In other words, I did all of the manual work myself.

In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how you can let the camera and Photoshop do all

the hard work, and we just put it together with one click.

Okay.

Let's get started.

We're going to work with 14 photos of the Louvre museum in Paris, France, that I show

with my cell phone.

Obviously, this technique requires a little bit of work and preparation, but it's all

worth it in the end, and as you can see,

the images are of people walking through the museum.

And what I'm going to do is tell Photoshop to take all these photos, put them together,

and remove the people from the photos.

And we're going to do that with a Stack Mode.

Stack Modes are a set of algorithms that combine images together in different forms.

Usually they're used for forensics, medical, or astrophotographic images, but in this case,

we're going to use them to remove people from photos.

So, what you want to do is go into Photoshop, of course, and go into file, scripts, and

statistics.

And from this statistics dialogue, we need to load all the images in there.

So, we need to select the folder where we have our images, so I'm going to click on

browse, then click on the folder, and click on select folder, and you'll see the 14 images

were loaded onto the image statistic dialogue box.

Now, I shot these images with my cell phone.

And the best way of doing this is to do it with a real camera and on a tripod, so that

the images don't move, so if you are going to use a cell phone, I recommend standing

very, very still as you shoot your photos.

And what you want to do is shoot as many photos as you can, about 20 or 30 seconds apart,

so that people have enough time to move.

So, if you're shooting a building and there's people walking through, just give them enough

time so that they move, and then take a photo.

So, in this case, I took 14 photos, and I was not using a tripod, so I'm going to let

Photoshop automatically align them for me,

or at the very least, try to align them for me.

So, make sure that attempt to Automatically align source images is selected, then select

the Stack Mode.

And again, the Stack Mode is the algorithm

that determines how these images are going to blend.

We're going to choose the median Stack Mode,

and the median Stack Mode take a statistical average

of all the photos.

In other words, it keep the constant pixels, and it removes the pixels that are not constant.

So people, cars, and other things that are moving through the scene are going to disappear.

Then, press OK.

And you'll see that Photoshop is going to load images as layers in the layers panel,

then it's going to attempt to align those images,

and finally, it will apply that Stack Mode.

And as you can see, it removed everyone from the photo, because it looked at all the images,

and it kept the constant pixels.

Again, people are moving, cars are moving, they've not constant, so they magically disappear.

So, it does a really, really good job, really quickly.

So, think about this technique next time you're traveling, and you want to remove tourists

from your vacation photos in Photoshop.

In the layers panel, notice that we have a smart object, and this icon represents an

image stack.

And if I click on the down-pointing arrow, you will see that this stack of images has

the median Stack Mode applied.

Unfortunately, if I don't click on it, you won't be able to edit it.

If you want to edit it, you can go into Layer, smart objects, Stack Mode,

and select a different Stack Mode.

For example, we can select minimum, and now we have a much more crowded scene, but that's

not what we want.

So, I'm going to go back into Layer, Smart Objects, Stack Mode, Median.

If you want to find out what the other Stack Modes do, I'm going to place a link in the

description that describes what they do.

And this is not the end of the tutorial.

There's still a couple of things that we need to do in order to refine this image, and these

things generally happen with this technique, so let me show you what they are.

If I zoom in, you'll notice that we didn't completely remove everyone from the phot.

There's still this person here, and then part of another person there.

And we can easily fix that by creating a new layer, and I'll call it heal because I'm going

to use the spot-healing brush tool for that.

So, select the spot-healing brush tool.

Now it's set to normal by default, and most people don't ever use the modes, but I recommend

using two of those modes.

Either darken or lighten.

So, what you need to do is look at your image and think of the distracting element in your

image.

And this could be a blemish on somebody's face, or in this case, that arm or whatever

it is that's left over from the Stack Mode, but look at it and think, is it darker or

brighter than the background?

In this case, it's darker than the background, so we want to lighten it.

So, I'm going to select the lighten blending mode, and I'm just going to paint to easily

remove that.

Now the reason that this works better than the normal mode is that it protects the brighter

pixels.

So, it protects the original detail.

Let me show you what I mean by that.

If I just scroll down and I start painting in this area here, you'll notice that I'm

just going to remove the dark areas, but I still keep the brighter areas.

So, I'm still keeping some of the original detail.

I'm going to undo that.

Then I'm going to go into the normal mode, and I'm just going to paint.

And you'll notice now that Photoshop introduces a lot of detail that doesn't make the image

fit or work.

So, I always recommend using these modes.

Always think, is my distracting element dark, or bright?

If it's dark, you want to lighten it; if it's bright, you want to darken it.

And then select the appropriate mode for that.

And if you want to find out more about this tool and the different modes, and how it can

help you with your re-touching, then check out my video on the spot-healing brush tool.

I'll post a link to it right below in the description.

But anyway, I'm going to undo these changes, and I'm going to fit the image to screen.

I think I pressed undo too many time, so let me remove this person once again, and you

can do that for the rest of the image.

I'm not going to take the time to do that, just to save a little bit of time, but in

your image, spend some time and get those details.

Now the second problem that usually happens with this technique is that there's sometimes

things that belong in the image, but that are moving.

Things like clouds, flags, water, and things like that that are always moving, and they

belong in the photo.

Notice what happened to the clouds.

We got this really interesting effect just because the clouds were moving.

And by the way, I just double-clicked on the thumbnail for the smart object, which opened

up the Smart Object in a new tab, and we can see all the original images.

And as you can see, the people are moving, but so are the clouds, which is why we got

that really weird effect.

And we can easily fix that by selecting the rectangular marquee tool, clicking and dragging

over the image making a selection.

And then going into edit, copy merge, and then go back into our working document, edit,

paste special, paste in place, and there it is.

Now the clouds are back.

We do have a little problem here with the seam, but we can easily fix that by creating

a layer mask, then select the brush tool.

And make sure that the hardness is set to zero so that you have a soft brush.

Black is my foreground color, so I can paint with black on the layer mask to hide those

pixels.

And the image now looks much, much better.

Now that we've fixed those issues, we're going to put the image together into one single

smart object and enhance it even more.

So, I'm going to click on the topmost layer, hold shift, click on the bottom layer to select

all the layers; then I'm going to right click and select convert into smart object.

So, what we just did is take all of those elements, put them into a single smart object,

and with the smart object, we can apply distortions, filters, adjustments, non-destructively.

We can always come back and edit the contents that we need to.

So, with this smart object, I'm going to go into filter, camera raw filter.

The camera raw filter allows you to adjust the tonality and colors of your images.

And I'm going to use it to enhance the image.

I'm going to start by darkening the highlights, brightening the shadows.

Adding contract to the mid-tones by increasing the Clarity and use Vibrance to add saturation

to the image.

Vibrance protects highly-saturated pixels and skin tones.

Then I'm going to sharpen it a bit, and one of the things that happens with this technique

is that it removes noise.

So, this image doesn't have any noise, so we need to bring some noise back, just so

that it's a little more natural.

So, I'm going to go into the effects tab, and add just a little bit of grain.

Let me set my view to 100% so that we can see how much grain we're adding.

So maybe for, you don't want to add too much, just a little bit in there, because the original

image had a little bit of grain.

Press OK when you're done.

Now talking about grain and noise,

this technique can also be used

to remove noise from images. your

So, if you're shooting a photo and you know that it's going to have some noise, you can

shoot several photos, and then apply this technique to remove a lot of that noise.

So, that is another use for the Stack Mode.

Now I'm going to select the crop tool, and then click and drag on the corner handles

to crop the image, then hover over the corner of the crop, and click and drag to rotate

to straighten the horizon.

Then I'm going to move it over by dragging it.

I want that line right over the pyramid to use the rule of thirds, and that's before

and after.

Let me know in the comments which of these was your favorite technique, and if you knew

about Stack Modes already.

Also, if you decide to create something using this tutorial, then upload it to Instagram

with the hashtag ptcvids.

I would love to see what you come up with.

Jewelry CAD Design Tutorial #24: Engagement Ring Design in Rhino 3D - Duration: 22:49.

Hello everyone welcome back to PJ's CAD class, as an authorized Rhino trainer

I'd like to do everything in Rhino 3D software that possible. In jewelry industry

you have Rhino plug-in professional software like GemVision Matrix and

RhinoGold. People often ask me why don't you just use them instead of

building everything from scratch in Rhino 3D. There are two reasons for it.

I personally use RhinoGold for my jewelry design since there are a lot of good

features for quick stone setting model but for many start-up designer both

programs may be a big investment to start with. Second if you know how to build a

model from scratch you don't have to limit yourself design from the library

those two professional jewelry program has. So long story short, learn the

fundamental model concept may take longer time on your learning path but

you will be benefits to you in the long run for your CAD designer career. What

I'd like to show you today is build this engagement ring that is really popular form

in lot of a commercial jewelry. And then, we're gonna build a six prong heat and

building this little bridging in the middle, and also build the ring shank

with a open on the top, and finally we're gonna add this little bead setting diamonds

all the way around on both sides. The video might take too long to finish for

just one (video) so I would like to separate this video in two parts. Just in case

you're wondering what kind of display view I'm using. If you go into this

little triangle right here. and you will see artistic and this is the view I'm

using. I usually use the ghost view. Are you ready? Let's get started.

Let's start with this 5 millimeter round stone and then for how to make this

stone you can go on the right top corner there and then you will see the info (icon)

there will be a link for my previous video. Alright so we want to do a six

prong (head) on it. First of all, we want to decide what type of prong size. You can

do the round one but the one that I have is more of the cushion looking, so I want

to decided the the prong, I want to snapping into the grid, so I turn on

the grid snap on the bottom. and then let's do from the center right there, you

can decide whatever size you want it that since I'm planning to have a six

prongs, and this is it's not super big of the stone. so I wanted to do is more like

a 1mm. So I'm going to type "1" here, and also type "1". Now you

can choose to have the "corner", you have to choices here right here you have a

corner is "arc". Or there's another very interest one it's called "conic" and what

it does is give you a little bit more of the cushion (look) Let's go to conic and it

give you a little bit more of a cushion looking, and I really like this shape

right there alright so we have the prong right there

Now the prong is going to over the girdle. Ideally, you don't want it to be

too short but you don't want to be too long. There are actually two type of

models- for rendering purpose and for CAD, which you are going for casting purpose

For the casting purpose, you want to leave it a little bit longer so your

jeweler will have some room to bend the metal over. Okay, so let me move this in

a little bit. You can moving 30 percent 40 percent or even more like 50 percent

of entire area, but definitely not over 50% because you're gonna make your prong

really weak. I usually do in between 30 to 40 (%). Okay so that's the profile for

the prong, and then I need to know what is the shape going to the bottom you

want them to have the same (shape/size) I'm going to use the Gumball. Drag it and tap my ALT key so

then you will have a copy there and I'm going to flip it 90 degree right there.

Okay so you don't want the metal to touch the culet which is this point part

of the stone, and then only close to the middle as possible. Okay, now we wanted to

have a shape, profile for the shape, and depends on how you like it there are

a couple way to do it you can just go ahead to you know draw the shape that

you like. Something like this, from quad to quad, so at the perspective you

can see they are (look) like this. Or you can do is putting two little tabs, so once here and

one here, and then you can use the blend tool "blend curve" which is right here

and then you blend from here to here so I kind of giving you different kind of

profile, and you can adjust it. Okay, that way is when you have the prong on the

other side it will blend better. Let's click OK.

Alright, so now you can delete those two tabs. Let's take a look on the

perspective view. So we have this we can do is using the "sweep 1 rail" and this

is the rail, cross, cross section. and then you hit ENTER, then you will get that

prong there. So next step, we need to make sure it is solid, so we want to do

is type a "cap" C-A-P, then I will have a cap. Now it doesn't look too nice for the

rendering, if you have really sharp edges. so let's go ahead to fillet the edges, so

let's go to fillet, and then radius, let's type it 0.2. Maybe, let's give it a

try Alright, so it looked nice over there

Alright I'd like to do six prongs. Two ways you can do it. You can use

the "polar array" which might be faster or you can use rotate with the copy=YES.

Let's try the "polar array". It's living under the "transform" and you have "array"

you have "polar". Okay, so I want to type it -center is at "0" and I want six of them,

and 360 degree, so I will have this prong set. Alright, if you like everything

everything look nice to you just go ahead and Boolean (unit) all of them at once.

Alright so now we have our head. It's done.

It depends on the orientation that you have, in this case, I would like to

have it rotating 90 degree. I'm sorry it's 30 degree, so that way it will

have two prongs touching the shank, which is more stable than one prong

touching. Okay, alright so now that's starting working on the ring shank.

I'm going to draw a circle and like most of my demonstration the diameter is

going to be 16. Alright and then I'm going to move this one above the circle.

and that's where the prong is going to be. Now let's take a look on the

perspective. Alright this is what we have there the next step what we're

going to do is creating a shank. On the original one you can see I have this

open on the top, and what I did is.... actually I need to draw the curve first.

I'm going to create another layer so it's not blocking and I'm going to call

the first layer "head", the second layer I'm going to call it

"ring shank". Alright, so I'm gonna send this circle to the ring shank . and I

gonna turn the "head" (layer) off, so it is easier for us to take a look. alright, so the

first things I would like to do is creating the "arc", and they can be

anywhere but make sure that you want it to almost touching the center. Okay I'm

holding the SHIFT (key) so I can get the half circle that's the arc. The second

things I'm going to do is I'm gonna put another little tab here.

Alright, so instead of drawing the curve, and this might be too fat, instead

of drawing a curve, I'm going to use the blend tool, so we're gonna use the "blend"

It is living under icon here and then you're gonna blend from here to here.

Alright so you may have something that I have here. Now let's take a look on the

perspective (view) that's because the original two tab they are not on the same place.

To fix this problem, you just need to pick up the curve you want them to be

flatten to the Cplane. and you type "ProjectToCplane". We want to delete

the original one, yes, and then now if you look at a perspective there are both on

the Cplane okay so let's do it again using the blend tool. I'm gonna blend from

here to here and it looks alright to me let's click OK. Alright so I have that

one, and since it's gonna be symmetrical, so I just need to copy to the other side.

and kind of joining it. Alright so the question is how am I gonna get this

curve follow the ring shank. The command we are going to use is called

"Curve from 2 views". Its living under the "Curve" command, and then you pick up this curve,

and this curve and very quickly you see this curve. I gonna turn this in

the red colors and it's easier for you to see. Okay once we have it, we only need

the top part. We don't need the bottom part. So I'm gonna use this curve to trim the

bottom part, so now I have this one on the top okay

Since it's gonna be symmetrical you can mirror to the other side but I don't

want to me or everything to the other side (yet) I want to finish one side and then

mirror to the other side. Okay now let's take a look on this top view. Now we need

to make it into the solid, right? So we need to create some sort of profile.

Let's starting creating the profile to make it solid. I'm going to use the

rectangular tool and then choose the "center" so I'm snapping into the quadrant

right there. I'm going to use the 1.2 mm stone, so as long as you

are bigger than 1.2 mm and leaving some room for the prongs, then

you will be fine. You don't want it to be too thick but you don't want to be too

thin either, I'm going to have it as about over 1.5 millimeters thick and

roughly about 1.8 millimeter and I'm using the corner for "conic" so

you can have this cushion looking surface, I'm sorry- cushion looking corner.

so that's moving this from the midpoint to the quadrant, so you're not cutting

inside of a ring size. Alright now I need to move this in a little bit to the

center line. so I can make sure that I can overlapping them. and I'm gonna use

the "mirror" to mirror to the other side. Alright, so let's take a look on the

perspective (view). Alright this will be the profile for the "sweep 1". Let's do

"sweep 1". this is the rail you go from here to here, and then you got this surface there.

it looks alright let's take a look on the top. It doesn't (get) over the middle. Let's take

a look on the stone. It's kind of cut into the prong maybe too much, because I

do need to have stones over there, so let's do a little bit of adjustment. Let's

delete this one, and we want to delete the red one, because you have so many

control point. It's hard for you to do the Edit by just dragging the control

points, so we want to edit the original one. So let's pick up all the point that

you're going to move. And let's drag it back a little bit. you don't have to drag

it way too much. We just need it to be shorter so there will be a gap there.

Let's take a look on the "curve" (menu) when you have "curve from 2 view". This curve and

that curve. okay it looked like it has a good shape, but let's take a

look first. "Sweep1", cross-section, and look like it's alright.

okay so now we have this one and again just not confusing. I'm going to use this

original one to trim of the bottom curve. Alright so now that one look okay. It is

touching the center stone. Let's take a look how do we create a bottom

one. I'm going to have this curve and going to copy that curve, snapping into

the quadrant to the quadrant of my ring shank. Alright and our front view

has a little profile right there. and we are going to use the "rotate" tool to

rotate it 90 degree. Alright then let me go back to the perspective and that's

hide that one

so we need to have those two profiles sweep to the bottom, so you will have

a very nice blend, and so we need to make that two into one. Let's go ahead and

trim off those two and while they are select, let's join them, and don't forget

to mirror that to the other side

all right now it's time to do the sweep again. Let's go to "sweep1" and you will

go from here to here to here. Usually I like it to align to the center of

inside of the ring shank, and make sure that they are

pointing the same direction. so I'm gonna go this one for in the same direction

and let's take a look. Alright, blend it really well. It's tapered down

to the bottom and let's turn on the par we just did. Alright,

it looks really nice as well. Let's go ahead to mirror that surface to the

other side of the ring. and lets joining together so now you become solid

all we need to do now is building a little bridge there so it's more comfortable on

the finger. So I'm gonna use the bottom profile again on my front view

and then I'm going to rotate it to somewhere inside of that shape. Okay I'm

going to turn into the red color it's easier for you to see. Let's take a look

on the perspective (view)

now you see the profile right there, and we can create a bridge, but I do not want

the bridge is too fat. so I actually want to scale 1D down. So let's go to "scale"

tool use "scale 1D" snapping into the quadrant to the quadrant, and it's kind of

bring it down. So make sure the bottom is still stay on the shank. Let's go

ahead to mirror this guy to the other side okay

so all we need to do again it's going to be "sweep 1". This is my rail and I'm

going to sweep from this curve to this curve. Okay so now we have something on

the bottom for our heat to sit on. so that way you don't have to be realized

on the head to holding the shank and don't forget to cap this one because

that's only a surface, open surface, and for aesthetic purpose I might need to move

the head just a little bit up. Alright so I have definitely enough room for my

stone to run through. Alright, so that's the basic ring shank that

we have.... Wait minute, I see this surface in between, and it is okay for

the rendering but not too okay when you wanted to print it. So

Let's fixed that. Let me turn the head off all right so I don't know if you see

what I see there, but it's it's overlapping surface, so we need to trim

that. If you want to.... let's explode it. so back to this part and separately. All the

bottom we can join back together. They don't have problem okay

so I'm going to hide this one, so you probably will see better what I mean

there. Because we overlapping the the profile a little bit so you got

double surface there right. if you say I'm going to trim this guy.

I want to trim. It doesn't let you trim, right? so it doesn't work, so the way to do this

you have to split your model first. Let's take a look on the top view and

that's draw a curve, like the across our model, on the top view. I'm going to use

this curve to split the them into four different pieces so that's use the

"split". Those two will be split by this curve, so now you have multiple pieces

,right? and we no longer need those small ones, so we can just go ahead and delete

that small one. Oops, this one, and also we can delete it. All we need to do now is joining

those pieces back together. Alright, and then let's take a look on the bottom.

Just turn back the bottom, and let's join those together. Alright, now

in our properties says right here is a "closed solid polished surface" so which

is good. With this one, and this one, that's also "boolean" it together, and then

double check again. it's closed solid polysurface. Alright,

so let's go back and turn on the head there. Alright, I don't want to join a

head yet because I might need to have a completely surface to do my stone next

Alright so this is the basic shape of this ring so next step we are going to

do the bead setting on the ring shank all the way around. So stay tuned

It will coming up for the following Monday. I hope you enjoy the video please

like and comment and share my video. It takes really long

time. Roughly about 5 hours to make a 15 minutes video. So your help on sharing

and also comment is helping me ranking on YouTube. Thank you for watching see

you next Monday

You Are Wasting Your Money - Duration: 10:22.

(Music)

TERRI: Hey, I'm Terri Seville Foy, your cheerleader

of dreams. Hey, if you've never subscribed to this podcast, just

push the little red button right there to get consistent

teaching tools and tips to help you live your dreams. Today, I

want to talk to you about, you're wasting your money. Now

you might say, "How?" Well, it might be in a surprising area

called clutter. Do you know that clutter is expensive? Most

of us, including myself, have clutter in some areas of our

lives. In fact, listen to this: 10%, less than 10% say their

homes are clutter-free. But we don't realize how much clutter

could be costing us. I want to point out today what could

clutter be costing you? Well, for one thing, number one, is

late bills and fees. Do you know that 23% of Americans do not pay

their bills on time and incur late fees because they can't

find their bills? Number two, is wasted food. Do you know that

you could be wasting food that was overlooked in messy pantries

or cluttered refrigerators that, then it expires and it can't be

used anymore? Another area, number three, is buying

duplicate items. Maybe you can't find items because of clutter

and then you wind up buying duplicates, wasting money you

don't need to spend on things like batteries, light bulbs,

glue, scissors, things like that. I know I've done this.

Number four is, again, with food, eating out too much. You

know, if your kitchen counters are too messy to cook on, you

might be eating out more than you should for your family

budget. Another one, number five, is tax deductions missed.

You know, if you're consistently misplacing receipts due to

clutter, you could be missing out on some major tax deductions

that could save you thousands of dollars. Number six is more

gifts. Maybe you buy a gift for a family member but then you

can't remember where you put it, so then you go out and buy

another gift? Well, then, when you finally locate it, it's too

late to return it. Another one, number seven, is reduced price

to sell your home. Do you know that clutter can prevent you

from selling your home if you're ready to move? Your home will

stay on the market much longer than you'd like it to because a

cluttered home is an unappealing home. And then you might even

settle on a lower price, because you know, you're ready to move

and finally somebody makes an offer. Another area that clutter

could be costing, especially with the house issue, is number

eight: higher moving costs. Clutter will cost you more to

move! The more items you have to carry across town or to another

state or country, it's gonna require larger trucks and more

movers to handle all of it. Well, my point is the list goes

on and on and on. But here's a big one: number nine, you will

have less time to pursue your dreams because of clutter. In

fact, did you know that research proves that if you get rid of

the clutter, you can eliminate as much of 40% of the housework

in an average home. So, it's worth it right there! You can

free up 40% of your time allocated to housework so you

can go after your dreams. Now, imagine. Time available to study

the foreign language that could cause your salary to double

because now you're bilingual. Or imagine time to read books on

personal growth that will cause you to be promoted because now

you're more valuable to the company because you've learned

so much. Or imagine time available to write your

manuscript that can then be turned into a book and go out

and change lives as well as provide additional income.

There's endless opportunities to be seized once you get your life

in order. Now, one more I wanted to share real quick, and this is

a huge one. Number ten is storage fees. Statistics show

that nearly 10% of American households rent storage units to

house their excess belongings. Think about that. They're

spending more than $1,000 annually to store their excess

belongings. Or some cases, it's clutter. Now, imagine doing that

for the next 10 years. That adds up to over $10,000 wasted simply

to keep your clutter that you're pretty much not even using, and

in most cases, you don't even miss it. $10,000! Well, most of

the time, we don't even remember what we stored. Let me just ask,

what if you use that money, instead of using it on a storage

unit, on your family vacation, emergency savings account, or

even a retirement investment that could compound? Just think

about that. In fact, I asked a professional investor, Adam. I

said, "Can you give me an example of investing $1,000 per

year, instead of on a storage unit, over a 10-year period,

with a 12% return on investment? What would that add up to?" He

said, "I just happen to have a client who's done that very

thing," and he showed me a portfolio that grew to $17,558

just by investing $1,000 a year over a 10-year period. Think

about that. You could potentially have over $17,000 if

you would just part with some of your possessions. Now, I don't

mean to imply that everything in your storage unit is junk, but

only you can evaluate whether or not the stuff that you're

storing is valuable enough to outweigh the cost of saving

money, or investing money. In fact, somebody once said that

having excess clutter is like having this slow leak that can

add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars every year.

Well, the good news is clutter is completely within your

control and you can cash in on your clutter. You can make a

dent in your belongings and in your billfold. The thing is, you

have money laying around. According to a survey, recently,

that Ebay did, the average household has more than

50 unused items worth around $3,100 in their

homes. Now let me just ask you: what could you

do with an extra $3,000? In the acting world, they

say, "What's my motivation?" Here's the incentive. You

can get some cold, hard cash for your trash. Think

about the Italian Rosetta Stone that's never been opened.

The digital photo frame that's never loaded with photos. The

outdated iPod you never use. The Bowflex machine that's sitting

in the garage. Or the stationary bike that's remained stationary.

You know, it's true that one man's trash may be another man's

treasure. In fact, I read something about gift cards. You

know, you may have gotten some gift cards on your birthday or

holidays and do you know that you can actually trade them in

for some much-needed money? According to sites like Gift

Card Granny and places like that, you can sell them for up

to 93.4% of the value of the gift card. Now, listen to this.

It's estimated that the gift card industry is around $124

billion at this time, with approximately, now brace

yourself, $750 million in gift cards going unredeemed every

year. That's shocking! So you could make money on books laying

around your house. Electronics. Instruments. Maybe you have Aunt

Myrtle's piano taking up this space in your foyer that nobody

uses. Clothing, ink cartridges, jewelry, gold. You have stuff

laying around that you could cash in on and make a big dent

in a financial goal. In fact, I want to close out by giving you

three things to do. Number one: set a financial goal that you

want to reach as you monetize your clutter. It could be $500,

$1,000 or more. It could be to pay off a bill or go on a

vacation. So get a number and write it down. That's number

one. Number two: set a 30 day goal to get it out of your

house. Now, in my book, on Declutter Your Way to Success, I

talk about how to monetize your clutter with online sites,

garage sales, pawn shops, consignment shops, things like

that. But I want you to keep the timeframe short or you're gonna

feel like your home has turned into this massive flea market

rather than an oasis of peace. So sell everything as quick as

you can and consider donating the rest. Number three is start

with room. Just start with one room at a time. Now, I want to

challenge you with this, because I believe it's time for you to

profit from your possessions. I mean, why not gather together

some of your stuff, assess what you have, and see how you can

turn all that clutter into cash? So, I hope you enjoyed this

today, just a few quick tips and I want to recognize our YouTube

subscriber of the week is Justine. In French, it's

(French accent) Justine. And this is what she says: "Oh,

Terri. Thank you for your cheerful advice." She said,

"I have way, way, way too many belongings, all

in a small guest house." She said, "I have been

going through and letting go of more and more every

weekend." That's awesome! She said, "But it's not a job

that happens overnight. You are my cheerleader to purge, Terri."

She said, "Your uplifting messages go further than you

might think. For those of us with no other cheer-ers, you

make a real difference." That blesses my heart, thank you so

much Justine. And I'm so proud of you for taking action and

de-cluttering. Now, I want to help each and every one of you

with not only getting your surroundings in order, but get

your life in order. That's why I'm excited. This is our final

week that we're going to be offering the first two chapters

Unboxing: Earth Box - Duration: 3:49.

Hi there! Check this out; this just arrived in the mail

This is from EarthBox, and it is their complete grow system, so I'm going to open it up and let's have a look

what's inside the box

Okay, so this is a complete kit

And it comes with

whoa okay

so if you order the kit - here's a tip - don't do what I just did and

slice open the tape on top because I just sliced open the bag of potting soil

So that's not such a good option. So there's a one bag

and

two bags, so that's why this bag is pretty heavy - this box

It's got two bags of their special blend of potting mix that comes with it

So you can order the grow box (meant EARTHBOX) with or without that

Let's have a look

Inside - okay - we've got the box

the grow box (meant EARTHBOX)

Sorry this is the EarthBox let me be really clear. This is not the grow box

Grow Box is a competitive product that we've already evaluated, and so now we're taking a look at the EarthBox

That looks like in here, it looks like a handle is actually the overflow for

For what's inside

this

Okay, this is the platform that goes on the bottom so your potting mix is gonna sit up in here

Now let's see what else do we have in here - we have

Okay, so this would be the fill tube

Definitely. This goes somewhere in here to fill it up with water and it comes with an instruction manual! Yay!

That's always my favorite thing because I always do something wrong if I don't read manuals, so take a look at that and then

Okay, this is all natural dolomite and then a special plant food

7-7-7 in terms of NPK

So this is something to mix in with the potting mix and it also has

4 wheels - so four casters

I'm going to guess that these

They're gonna go right here on the bottom

so you can wheel this thing around which is really great because when

one of these things is full of water in the reservoir at the bottom,

it's gonna be pretty heavy. So being able to wheel it around instead of having to try and lift it is gonna be pretty awesome

And then I'm gonna guess that this thing that looks like a handle from the front is the water

overflow so if you put too much water in the bottom, it's not just gonna sit there and run out your plants,

it's gonna flow out the bottom. So we got it in this really fun purple color

It comes in a couple of other colors as well, so if you don't want the bright purple

there are more neutral options, so we are gonna test this thing out. I'm going to be growing Chinese long beans and

Lemon cucumbers in it, so we'll see how it does and we'll keep you posted so check back

for the review; you'll find it on the gardeningproductsreview.com

And you'll also find a review right here on YouTube, so don't forget to click that subscribe button so that you get notified

when we have the review ready for the EarthBox

See you then!

The Most DANGEROUS FOODS In The World - Duration: 10:15.

Who can resist a delectable plate of food?

And while most of us like to be adventurous in our food choices from time to time, some

take it too far.

Here is a list of food that people eat around the world which can be harmful, and in some

cases even fatal.

10 Pufferfish – Being the emperor of Japan means you can eat pretty much anything you

want right?

Well, except for Fugu, or Pufferfish.

While it is considered an exotic dish in Japan, it contains a deadly poison Tetrodoxin which

is 1200 times deadlier than cyanide.

A single Fugu is enough to kill 30 humans and there is no known antidote!

No wonder it is the only food that the Emperor of Japan is forbidden from eating.

So how does one go about eating Pufferfish?

It is definitely not easy as it requires almost 3-4 years of training for a chef to become

qualified to cook Fugu.

When prepared correctly, Fugu gives waves of euphoria and tingling sensations.

While that may sound tempting, don't be surprised to find ambulances waiting outside

the restaurants that serve it!

9 Cassava – Commonly known as tapioca, the Cassava is a staple food for the people of

Africa and South America.

While it is a rich source of carbohydrates, not all of the plant is meant for eating.

In fact, the roots, peels and leaves of the plant are highly toxic, containing cyanogenic

glucosides which are then broken down in the plant to produce Hydrogen Cyanide.

If you ever come across the people of Nigeria with endemic goiters, remember that it was

probably Cassava that caused them.

So how do you ensure you don't get affected when eating this poisonous food?

Simple.

Soak the roots in water for upto 3 days till the hydrogen cyanide is released from it and

then it can be dried or cooked.

Or better yet, don't eat it.

It is a very dangerous food if not cooked properly as the children in a Phillipines

elementary school found out.

Over a 100 children fell sick and 27 died because of eating Cassava that was not prepared

properly.

8 Potatoes – Be it fries, chips, mashed or even as vodka, potatoes are one of the

most common food in the world.

But few know that the potato plant is actually very poisonous.

The plant is closely related to tobacco and nightshade and they produce the toxin solanine

which is a natural defence for the plant against insects, disease and predators.

In fact, this defence mechanism was used by people in the past as pain relief, anti-inflammatory

and anti-rheumatic medicine.

The poison is found in the green parts of the plant like new sprouts, stems, leaves

and even the tubers at times.

So if you come across a green potato, run, because it probably contains Solanine.

While death from potato poisoning is rare, it does lead to nausea, diarrhea, vomiting,

weak and rapid pulse, drowsiness and respiratory problems.

Think of that when chomping down on fries next!

7 Ackee – A native fruit of the tropical West Africa region which looks like a pear,

Achee is a fascinating little fruit.

It turns from green to bright red to yellow orange while ripening before opening up to

reveal three shiny black seeds surrounded by soft, creamy and yellow Aril.

This aril is the edible part of the fruit and is used in many dished like Ackee with

Codfish, the national dish of Jamaica.

But there is a flipside to it.

The plant is poisonous and contains the toxin hypoglycin.

Consuming it leads to hypoglycaemia or the Jamaican vomiting sickness.

Although this toxin is not present in the aril part of the fruit, which is the actual

edible part, if the fruit is picked before it turns red it leads to poisoning.

And the seed of the fruit always contains the toxin and if by any chance you happen

to consume it, don't wait for the ambulance to rush to the hospital.

Symptoms kick in between 2 -12 hours of consumption and leads to a massive drop in blood sugar

levels.

So much so that ackee is banned in the US and as far as exotic fruits go, you might

want to give this one a miss.

6 Giant Bullfrog – Frog legs might be delicacy in many parts of the world, but one look at

the giant bullfrog and you would have to be really adventurous, or really hungry, to eat

it.

And yet, if you venture into Namibia, you would most probably get a dinner invitation

to eat the African bullfrog.

And while you might be tempted, be warned.

The frog is probably going to get its revenge by attacking your kidneys.

The bullfrog contains the toxin Oshiketakata which causes temporary kidney failure along

with a burning sensation in the urethra and fatalities have also been recorded.

So how does one go about making sure that the frog they eat doesn't make them sick?

Eat only those bullfrogs which have been caught after the third rain of the season, only those

who are old enough to mate, the ones who croak a lot or the ones cooked in wood lined pots

so that the poison is absorbed.

And after hearing so many ifs and buts, if you are still tempted, well all we can say

is Good luck!

5 San nak ji – Of all the sea creatures, the octopus is one of the slimiest and ickiest

creatures, flailing around with its 8 arms.

But in some places, like Korea, a species of Octopus, san nak ji, is a delicacy.

So much so, that they don't even bother killing it before eating it!

All they do is take the baby octopus, put some sesame oil on it and voila, the dish

is ready.

You will actually see the tentacles wriggle while you swallow it!

Which actually makes it one of the most dangerous foods available.

Not poisonous, dangerous.

If not chewed properly, the suckers which are present on the tentacles get stuck on

the throat and leads to choking.

On an average, 6 people lose their lives in Korea each year from consuming San nak ji.

And in some extreme cases, the tentacles have been known to climb up inside the mouth into

the nasal cavity.

So, if you still want a taste of San Nak Ji, chew the hell out of it before swallowing!

4 Casu Marzu – Cheese.

How it can cheese be dangerous right?

Especially one found in Italy, the land of cheesy food!

While that is normally true, the Casu Marzu or rotten cheese, does play a little on the

wild side.

Made in the town of Sardinia, the cheese is soaked in brine, smoked and then allowed to

sit in the open without being covered.

On top of that, cheese flies are encouraged to lay eggs inside the cheese and when they

hatch into countless maggots, they release enzymes that cause the fats within the Casu

Marzu to decompose.

The Casu Marzu is eaten with the maggots still alive as it prevents extra toxicity, but that

poses a problem of its own.

The stomach enzymes are not always strong enough to kill these larvae and they often

pass into the intestines where they cause serious lesions and even bore through the

intestinal walls leading to abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and bloody diarrhoea.

The cheese is so dangerous that it is banned in most parts of the world including Italy

and is not sold in shops.

But if you ever happen to come across some, we are sure that the wriggling maggots will

prevent you from actually eating it!

3 Hakarl – When you think of sharks, it is natural to think of food.

After all, you are its food!

But in Iceland, the Vikings started a tradition of eating a species of Shark called the Greenlandic

shark, which extends up to 24 feet on average, as it was abundant in supply.

But preparing hakarl is a long process.

It involves beheading the shark, burying it in a hole in the sand with stone and gravel

placed on top for 6-12 weeks, which allows the liquids to seep out while the shark ferments.

Then, long pieces of the shark are cut and hung up to dry for several months and after

it starts smelling and a characteristic dry, brown crust forms the pieces are taken down

and served in smaller portions.

Sounds yucky, right?

That's not the worst part.

The shark possesses no kidneys or urinary tract.

And hence, the meat of the shark is full of poisonous substances like trimethylamine oxide.

It is to remove this toxin that such a cumbersome method of preparation is in place!

But there are no guarantees.

Except for the fact that if you bring the hakarl close to your mouth, you will probably

suffer nausea from the smell.

In fact, Anthony Bourdain, the famous chef, named it among the foods that he would never

taste again!

2 Blood Clams – Clams are delicious no doubt.

But when it is preceded by the word blood on the menu, you might get a few doubts!

But not so in China!

Blood clams are a popular dish and it is even gaining popularity in the US.

But what most people don't know is that blood clams cultivate from Maine and Mexico

are fairly safe to eat.

But the ones found in the restaurant of China should be avoided at the very least.

The reason for that is that the clams cultivated there live in low oxygen environments and

they ingest a lot of viruses and bacteria, some of which cause Hepatitis A and hepatitis

E. In fact, around 15% of the people who eat blood clams from Chinese waters get infected

as it is only boiled quickly and served.

Apart from hepatitis, typhoid and dysentery are also common ailments caused by eating

blood clams.

In 1988, over 300,000 people were infected and 31 died in Shanghai from eating blood

clams.

While they may taste delicious, we hardly think that it is a risk worth taking!

1 Cashews – Who amongst us has not dipped their hands in a bowl of cashew nuts?

They are one of the most favoured dry fruits in the world and a part of many recipes.

But would you really by so keen of putting cashews in your dishes if you knew that they

were actually very poisonous?

Raw cashews contains Urushiol, which is a distant cousin of poison ivy and causes ugly

rashes on the skin.

So then why are they sold so openly?

That is because the raw cashew available in stores are not actually raw.

They are steamed to get rid of the Urushiol to make it safe.

So, if you love to binge on cashews, be sure that they are not raw!

This was our list of some of the most dangerous foods that people eat around the world.
