hey what's up!

Today we're gonna have a close look at Xiaomi's Wi-Fi enabled air conditioner controller

that not only turns your AC on and off, but it can actually control

all of its functions over infrared as well.

Let's dive right in!

I gotta start off by mentioning that they've got two very similar air

conditioning controllers out in the Xiaomi store right now.

The first being this Aqara-branded one

and they have this round Xiaomi Mijia branded version as well.

Their functionality is identical but the main difference is in the way it looks.

So let's look at what these things can do which is a lot....

on the back of the device is a large 16A 3-pin plug that fits these Chinese type air conditioner sockets

and on the front is where you connect your air conditioner, which is the same size connector,

so it basically sits in between your power socket and your air conditioner.

The AC controller has full gateway functionality meaning it connects to your router over Wi-Fi

and you can pair these sensors and switches directly with this gateway over ZigBee.

This means you can pair a temperature sensor with this gateway

allowing you to set up automation rules based on the actual temperature in the room.

As opposed to the regular gateways

this AC gateway does not have a ring of lights to function as a nightlight

instead it has this black ring on the bottom where it's infrared sensors are located.

This allows you to control all of the functions of your air conditioner

like setting the temperature, setting the fan speeds.. -Like you would normally do with your remote controller.

Recently they added a new feature in the app that allows you to control all of your infrared devices

with this gateway.

Pretty much adding the same functionality as xiaomi's infrared controller.

On the side of your AC controller there's a speaker that can be used

to play internet radio, it can ring your doorbell sound or even function as an alarm

when you've got it set up as a home security alarm.

As you see this device can really do a lot and it's really versatile

so let's install it and let's see what we can do.

The installation is pretty straightforward

plug in the AC controller into the power socket and plug in your air conditioner into the AC controller.

Once it's powered on you can set it up over Wi-Fi

and install it as a new device in the Mi home app from where you can control the device

and set up automation rules.

Once it's installed it appears in the list of devices

from where you can access the device and set up the brand and model of your AC.

You simply need to select your brand and the App will give you a whole list of possible controls.

-And if this one does not turn your AC on or off go on to the next one until it works with your AC.

In my case both of my AC's were set up like really quick but in the event that yours is not working

you can also manually set it up by learning your remote control.

The device page for the AC controller allows you to fully control your air-conditioner.

In this page we can the see the current status and temperature settings

and turn the AC on and off.

We can swipe up and down on the number to change the temperature,

and on my AC I can also set the fan speed and have the lid move.

Under other devices you can easily set up other devices that you

want to be able to control with the AC partner.

You can add a new device and simply use that devices remote control

to have the Gateway learn that function.

The cool thing is that this AC gateway also monitors the actual power usage of your AC in real time.

-And you can see exactly how much power you have used over time as well.

And in my case it actually shows me the months that I use

my AC the most and which months the bill will probably be a lot higher.

The interface of the gateway used to be quite identical to Xiaomi's regular gateway

but this has recently changed, so it's gateway functionality is a little bit more hidden in the app.

You need to go to the settings menu where you'll find a menu called gateway setting

and here you can set it up as a home alarm, a wake-up clock, doorbell and

set up devices to connect with this gateway.

Here you can pair a temperature sensor to this gateway that can be used for automation rules.

This process is exactly the same as with the other gateway unit that I've

done some videos about a little while ago.

To conclude I think this is a very nice device

and I've been using the Aqara gateway since it actually got into crowdfunding

about one and a half years ago in China.

And here in Shanghai you use the air conditioner about 75% of the year, so having this device to control

and automate the AC is really nice!

The Mijia AC gateway is a little bit cheaper

but I personally like the looks of the Aqara a little bit better,

but that's just my personal preference...

It's nice to see these have gateway functionality.

I must point out that I'm not entirely sure what plug type other countries use

for their air conditioner, but you got to note that the AC partner

uses the larger size 16A 3-pins connectors.

These are slightly larger than the regular 10A connectors,

which you will need to know if you're a looking for an adapter

as for now they only have the Chinese version.

I think it's cool to see more and more devices get Gateway functionality

so that might allow you to more easily enter this smart home ecosystem.

So far they have these regular gateways, this AC gateway, and Aqara recently crowdfunded

this camera gateway that I've received a few weeks ago as well.

And this camera gateway is currently still in beta but you can expect me to do a video about that one

in the next few months when that is about to hit the store.

So I hope you've learned something today about these air-conditioner gateways.

If you like my videos please leave a thumbs up and subscribe to the channel if you have not done that yet!

Thank you guys for watching and I hope to see y'all soon!

【#018】日本の年末!～Events at the end of the year in Japan!～with English subtitle - Duration: 5:49.

Hey guys! It's Misaki!

Today I'm going to tell you about what we usually do at the end of the year here in Japan.

Let me explain about "年末(nenmatsu)". The kanji 年(nen) means year and the second one 末(matsu) means the end. So "年末(nenmatsu)" means the end of a year.

I'm going to tell you about some Japanese cultures at the end of the year.

I think there are 3 major ones.

The first one is "Bounenkai", the second one is "Oosouji" and the third one is "toshikoshi soba".

I'm starting with the first one "Bounenkai".

"Bounenkai" means end-of-year party. But looking at the kanji, it actually means to forget about the problems in this year.

We have it many times in December. We have drinking parties with our friends, our family, relatives and co-workers at Izakaya (Japanese bar) or a good restaurant.

Actually, "bounenkai" is just a party at the end of the year where we get drunk and eat a lot.

We call it "bounenkai".

Some people have five or six "bounenkai" in a week with many people.

Japanese businessman have a few bounenkai in a week with their clients, boss, friends and family.We have it for the whole month in December.

Next is "Oosouji".

"Oosouji" is a spring cleaning. We clean our rooms, houses and gardens.

We do that on the 31st of December or the last weekend of December.

It means to get rid of dirt of the year and get ready for the next year with happy feelings.

So we do it with our family on the 31st of December.

Actually, I don't like cleaning so I don't really like the 31st of December.lol

But I also don't like welcoming a new year in a dirty room so I always try to clean up my room every year.

The third one is "Toshikoshi soba".

We eat "toshikoshi soba" (year-crossing soba) at 12am on the 1st of January.

I think you guys know what is soba. It is one of Japanese noodles and we have many stories about why we eat soba at 12am on the 1st of January. Let me explain two of them.

The first story is that we eat soba to wish for a long lasting life. Soba is a long noodle, so it means we can live for a long time.

The second one is that soba is easier to cut than other noodles like Udon or spaghetti. So it signifies that we cut off or remove the bad things in this year and welcome the next year with new beginning.

We have some more stories about "toshikoshi soba" so if you're interested, you can check them out online!

I've talked about three Japanese end-of-year cultures.

This video will be the last one of this year.

Minja TV started uploading videos about Japanese cultures and languages since the end of October.

Even though it's been a short time, I really thank you on behalf of the team to everyone who watched our videos and to those who gave us interesting comments.

Please look forward to seeing me in my new videos in 2018!

And I think some of you guys want to know about this hoodie. This hoodie is from University of Toronto, where I went study abroad in Toronto, Canada two years ago.

I don't like wearing a formal clothes at the end of the year so I took the video with this hoodie.

Anyways, thank you so much for watching!

Have a wonderful year in 2018. Thank you so much!

If you like my channel, don't forget to give me a Like and please subscribe my channel! Bye!

RELATIONS WITH GRANDPARENTS ~ 05 ~ THE COMMON SENSE BOOK OF BABY AND CHILD CARE - Duration: 9:17.

THE COMMON SENSE BOOK OF BABY AND CHILD CARE.

By Benjamin Spock.

THE PARENTS' PART.

RELATIONS WITH GRANDPARENTS.

21.

Grandparertts can be a great help to young parents in

all kinds of ways.

They can also derive enormous pleasure from their grandchildren.

They often ask wistfully, "Why couldn't I have enjoyed my' own children the

way I enjoy my grandchild?

I suppose I was trying too hard and feeling only the responsibility."

In many parts of the world grandmothers are considered

experts, and a young mother takes it for granted that when

she has a question about her baby or needs a little help with him 'she'll ask her mother.

When a mother has this kind of confidence in the grandmother, she can get

not only advice but comfort.

In our country, though, a new mother is often more inclined to tum to her doctor first,

and some women don't ever think of consulting their mothers.

This is partly because we are so used to consulting professional

people about our personal problems-doctors, guidance counselors

in school, marriage counselors, social workers, psychologists,

ministers.

Also, we take it for granted that knowledge advances rapidly,

and so we often think that anyone who knew how to do a

job twenty years ago is behind the times today.

A more basic reason is that many young parents still feel

too close to adolescence.

They want to prove to the world and to themselves that they can manage their own lives.

They may be afraid that the grandparents will want to

tell them what to do, as if they were still dependent, and they

don't want to put themselves back in that position.

22.

Tensipns are normal.

In some families, all is harmony between p~rents atld grandparents.

In a few, disagreements are fierce.

In others, there is a little tension, most commonly

concerning the care of the first child, but it wears off with

time and adj1,lstInent.

The fortunate young woman who has lots of natural, comfortable

self-confidence can tum easily to her mother for help

when she needs it.

And when the grandmother makes a suggestion on her own, the mother finds she can accept

it if it seems good, or, she can tactfully let it pass

and go her own way.

But most young parents don't have that amount of assurance

at first.

Like almost everybody else in a new job, they are sensitive about possible inadequacies,

touchy about criticism.

Most grandparents remember this well from their earlier

days and try hard not to interfere.

On the other hand, they have had experience, they feel they've developed

judgment, they love their grandchildren dearly, and

they can't help having opinions.

They see surprising changes from the time when they car¢d for babies-flexible feeding

schedules, early feeding of solid foods, perhaps later toilet

training-and these are hard to get used to.

Even when they accept new methods, they may be bothered by what seems to them

to be excessive zeal in carrying them out.

(When you are a grandparent yourself, you'll probably

understand better what 1 mean.)

1 think that if young parents have the courage, they can

keep relations most comfortable by permitting or even inviting

the grandparents to speak up about their opinions.

Frank discussions are usually, in the long run, more comfortable

than veiled hints or uneasy silences.

A mother who is pretty sure she is managing the baby properly

can say, "I know that this method doesn't seem quite right

to you, and I'm going to discuss it again with the doctor

to be sure that I've understood his directions."

This doesn't mean the mother is giving in.

She certainly reserves the right to make her own

decision in the end.

She is only recognizing the grandmother's good intentions and evident anxiety.

The young mother who shows reasonableness will reassure the grandmother

not only in regard to the present problem but also

in regard to the future in general.

A grandmother can help the mother do a good job by

showing her confidence in her and fitting in with her methods

as far as possible.

This puts the mother in a mood to ask advice when she is in doubt.

When the children are left in the care of the grandparents,

whether for half a day or for two weeks, there should be

frank understanding and reasonable compromising.

The parents must have confidence that the children

will be cared for according to their beliefs in important

matters (that, for instance, they won't be compelled to eat food

they don't like, be shamed for bowel accidents, or be frightened

about policemen).

On the other hand, it's unfair to expect grandparents to carry out every step of management and

discipline as if they were exact replicas of the parents.

It won't hurt a child to be a little more respectful to the grandparents,

if that's what they want, or to have their meals on

a different schedule, or to be kept cleaner or dirtier.

If the parents don't feel right about the way the grandparents care

for- the children, of course they shouldn't ask them to take

care of them.

23.

The parent who is sensitive about advice.

More than average tension may arise if the young mother

(or father) has felt a lot of parental criticism throughout her childhood.

This inevitably leaves her inwardly unsure of herself, outwardly

impatient of disapproval, and grimly determined to

prove her independence.

She may take to new philosophies of child rearing with unusual enthusiasm and

push them hard.

They seem like a wholesome change from what she remembers.

They are also a way to show the grandparents how oldfashioned

they are and to bother them a bit.

It's really fun to battle about theory when you're mad at the

opponent.

The only trouble is that it's the child's upbringing

that provides the ammunition on both sides.

All I'm suggesting is that parents who find that they are constantly

upsetting grandparents should at least ask themselves whether they

might be doing some of it on purpose" without quite

realizing it.

2'4.

The managerial grandmother.

Occasionally there is a grandmother so constituted that she has always

been too managerial with her daughter and she can't

stop now even though the daughter is now a mother.

Such a young mother may have a tough time at first keeping her

perspective.

She dreads advice.

When Jt comes, it makes her angry, but she dare not express her feelings.

If she accepts the advice, she feels dominated.

If she turns it down, she feels guilty.

How, then, can the beginning mother in this situation

protect her~ seI£?

It sounds as if shed have to lift herself by ,her bootstraps.

In a way she does have to, but it can be done gradually, with

practice.

In the first place, she can keep reminding herself that

she is the mother now and that the baby is hers to take care

of as she thinks best.

She should be able to get support from the doctor or the public-health nurse when

she has been made to doubt her own m~thod.

She is surely entitled to the support of her husband, especially if it's }jis mother

who is interfering.

If he thinks that in a certain situation his mother

is right, he should be able to say so to his wife, but at the

same time he can show his mother that he stands with his

wife against intederence.

The young mother will come out better if she can learn

gradually not to run away from the grandmother and not to

be afraid to hear het out, because both these reactions reveal,

in a way, that she feels too weak to stand up to her.

Harder still, she can learn i)I)W not to get boiling

mad inside or how not to explode outwardly in a temper.

You might say she's entitled to get angry, which is true.

But pent-up anger and explosions are both signs that she has already been feeling

submissive for tOl) long, out of fear of making the grandmother

mad.

A dominating grandmother usually senses these indirect signs of timidity and takes advantage

of them.

A mother shouldn't feel guilty about making

her mother mad, if it must come to that.

Actually, it shouldn't be necessary to blow up at the grandmother-or at least not

more than once or twice.

The mother can learn to speak up for herself right

away, in a matter-of-fact, confident tone, before she gets

angry ("Well, the doctor told me to feed him this way,"

"You see, I like to keep him as cool as possible," "I don't

want him to cry for long").

This calm, assured tone is usually the most effective way to convince the grandmother

that the mother has the courage of her convictions.

In these occasional situations that contain a lot of continual

tension, it is often helpful for the parents, and perhaps the

grandparents, to consult a professional person-wise family

doctor, psychiatrist, social worker, sensible minister-preferably

in separate interviews, so that each can present the picture

as he sees it, even though they may all come together for

a final discussion.

In any case it should be understood that, in

the end, the responsibility and the right to make the decision

is the parents'.

2017 2018 BMW M4 video review, vehicle tour, tech overview - Duration: 10:56.

there was a time when BMW only offered three different series of cars the

three series 5 Series and the 7 Series now in 2017 every number is covered from

1 to 7 with even numbers being coupes and odd numbers being sedans in this video

I'll be giving you a tour of the BMW m4 and I'll also be comparing it to its

sister car the m3 the specifications of both cars

are almost identical the most notable difference is that the m4 is a coupe and

the m3 is a sedan and also the m3 is a little bit cheaper

both the m3 and the m4 are powered by a three litre twin-turbocharged s55b30

ln line 6 engine which produces 425 horsepower and 410 pound feet of torque a lot of em

purists are disappointed that BMW went with a forced induction i6 rather than

another v8 but the engine has a pretty nice little party trick up its sleeve to

minimize turbo lag the engine has two small turbochargers each feeding three

cylinders the RPM of the impellers is always kept above 120 thousand rpm to

minimize lag the anti lag system is only activated in Sport Plus engine mode

this is done by managing the air flow and injecting a bit of fuel it makes one

wonder though how this affects the longevity of the turbos when they're

spinning at over 100,000 rpm the car has a pretty efficient cooling system aside

from the main radiator it also has auxilary radiators for cooling the

turbos and the transmission the system is powered by an electric water pump

here's a graph comparing m3s from various generations as you can see the

horsepower increase is relatively marginal compared to the previous

generation's v8 but the torque increase and the decrease in emissions are very

significant fuel efficiency has also been increased by up to 25% owners of

the e46 m3 would know that the rear subframe is one of the weaker points in

the car the m3 and the M4's subframe is solidly mounted to the monocoque chassis

for more stiffness the m4's weight is at three

thousand five hundred sixty-five pounds for the manual and three thousand six

hundred thirty pounds for the dual clutch curiously the m3 and m4 are only

slightly heavier than the much smaller m2 zero to sixty can be achieved in four point

one seconds fuel consumption is at seventy miles per gallon or 7.2

kilometers per litre city and twenty five miles per gallon or ten point six

kilometers per liter highway the car comes with 19-inch alloys and carbon

ceramic brakes the carbon ceramic brakes are an option the car also has a carbon

propeller shaft which is standard for both the m3 and m4 where the cars mostly

differ are in their looks and also in their practicality being a coupe the m4 has a

sleeker roofline the track width of the m3 m4 are the same but because of how

the rear quarter panel of the m3 is designed the m3 actually looks like

it is slightly wider at the back the fender flares look like they protrude a

little bit more anyway let me show you around the interior of the car okay this

is the M4'sinterior it's a middle ground between the five series and the

two series in terms of interior space the backseat is actually usable compared

to the m2 you have bucket seats plenty of bolstering side bolstering you have

carbon-fiber accents on the dashboard as well as the transmission tunnel you have an

automatic transmission with paddle shifters

In terms of storage you have limited storage in this car The difference between the m2 and m4

here if you see these buttons you can change the setting for example you want to

change setting for the suspension there's a button here There's options like sport comfort. stiffness or just the ride height

just the stiffness also the steering if you want comfort or sports put it in

sport steering is a bit sharper then also the engine here engine you can choose

between sport and comfort so if you put it in sport it's more aggressive throttle response is more sensitive

there's a separate button for shifting there's a button near the gear shift you have 3 settings the 3rd is the highest

The fastest gear change even the gear shiftings you can customize it upon this

setting for the engines the suspension you can actually save your own setting for

example you can see these two buttons here m1 and m2 so you can actually set

preselect your preferences for example on weekdays you want to be all

just comfort setting and then on weekends you can customize m2 and then

choose the setting if you want to change from comfort or sport regardless for example you want

sporty engine response but suspension is

comfort and then the steering is fourth and then the gear change you can set it to

let's say... there's 3 levels you can choose the first level of the transmission

you can save it so technically it's like a personal setting

You can customize all the settings from the transmission down to the steering wheel

of the m4 and m3

and then the seats the m2 it comes with dakota leather interior

this one it comes with a... you can feel it's more refined it's nappa leather

it's a much higher grade of leather for the m4 and m3

it also comes with a Harman Kardon sound system You can use your palm for for entering a

destination

you can see the list of information for Ayala

gas station, villages,MRT stations some shops also. How much does it cost. cost is around 8.88 million pesos

this one is the standard M4 we also have the m4 competitiont m4 GTS and the M4 DTM

The difference between the 4, this one is the standard it comes with 431 horses

the m4 competition is 450 and the m4 GTS, which is the track version of this car

is 500 horsepower and then the limited edition which is the DTM edition M4 is also 500 horsepower but

this one is limited only to 200 units wolrdwide

compared to the previous generation m3 the current generation m3 and m4 look a

lot angrier and it's the most aggressive looking car in the series the M3 and

m4 follow the current trend in performance cars smaller forced

induction engines and better fuel economy the in line 6 although not as

responsive as the naturally aspirated v8 actually produces more power and it's

lighter and also it's significantly more fuel

efficient due to BMWs anti lag system it doesn't suffer so much from turbo lag

what people will miss mostly from the v8 is the sound. The in line 6 just doesn't sound

as good the natural competitor of the m4 is the AMG c63 in terms of looks the

m4 looks more aggressive while the current generation c63 looks more

elegant the c63 has the advantage when it comes to horsepower torque and

acceleration the c63 though has a bigger engine it's also heavier and it's less

fuel efficient not that that matters in a performance car though at the track

the m4 and the c63 are more or less evenly matched when making a choice it

will boil down to which band you prefer

HELP FOR THE MOTHER ~ 07 ~ THE COMMON SENSE BOOK OF BABY AND CHILD CARE - Duration: 6:08.

THE COMMON SENSE BOOK OF BABY AND CHILD CARE.

By Benjamin Spock.

THE PARENTS' PART.

HELP FOR THE MOTHER.

27.

Arranging for extra help in the beginning.

If you can figure out a way to get someone to help you

the first few weeks you are taking care of the baby, by

all means do so.

If you try to do everything by yourself and get exhausted,

you may have to get help and have it for longer in the end.

Besides, getting tired and depressed starts you and the baby

off on the wrong foot.

Your mother may be the ideal helper, if you get along with

her easily.

If you feel she is bossy and still treats you like a

child, this is not the time to have her.

You will want to feel that the baby is your own and that you are

doing a good job with him.

It will help to have a person who has taken care

of babies before, but it's most important of all to have someone

that you enjoy having around.

If you can afford to hire a houseworker or a practical baby

nurse for a few weeks, there will be the advantage over a relative

that you can let her go if she doesn't work out right.

In one way, a houseworker is best-the mother

can have the satisfaction of taking complete care of her

baby from the start -but a houseworker is hard to find.

Next best is a practical nurse who will do part of the housework, who

is willing to fit in with your way of doing things, who

will let you feel that the baby is yours, and who has a relaxed,

agreeable personality.

If you find that you have a practical nurse who

acts as if the baby were hers rather than yours and criticizes

everything you do, for goodness' sake get rid of her right

away and take a chance on finding a better one.

How long should you engage a helper for?

It will depend, of course, on yo~r finances, on your desire

to take over, and on your strength.

Each day as your strength increases, take over a little more of the work.

If when two weeks are nearly up, you find that you still get tired easily,

then by all !Deans keep the helper, whether you can really afford

her or not.

She is not a ,luxury, under these circumstances,

but a necessity.

If you take over before you are strong enough, it will cost

more in the end, financially and spiritually, than if you keep

her on for another week or two.

Most expectant mothers feel a little scared at the prospect

of taking sole charge of a helpless baby for the first time.

If you have this feeling, it doesn't mean that you won't be able

to do a good job or that you have to have a nurse to show you

how.

But if you feel really panicky, you will probably learn

more comfortably with an agreeable practical nurse-or relative,

if this can be arranged.

If you can't have regular help, you may be able to afford

and find a woman to come in once or twice a week to do the

cleaning, help you catch up on the housework, and watch

the baby for a few hours while you go out for a visit.

Whether or not you have your own help, you should arrange

to have a visiting nurse come in for a visit or two.

See Section 55 . . 28.

Practical aids.

If you are going to be washing the baby's diapers yourself, now is the time to

get an automatic washer and drier if you can possibly afford

them.

They save hours of work each week, and precious energy.

They are somewhat less essential if you can get diaper service

but still very worth while.

New mothers find.it a great help to send out the regular

laundry, at least temporarily during the early months of baby

care.

This is a go'od time to simplify housework by putting

unnecessary furniture and furnishings in a store room for a

couple of months or a couple of years.

Learn to use more of the easily prepared foods for a while.

29.

Sitters are a boon to parents and can help a child to

develop independence.

You and your child should know your sitter well.

For night sitting with a baby who doesn't waken,

it may only be necessary for her to be sensible and dependable.

But for babies who waken and for children above the

age of a year who might waken, it's important for the sitter to

be a person they know and like while awake.

It is frightening to most children to waken and find a stranger.

If the sitter is to care for the child or even just put him

to bed, you should be sure from seeing her in action with your

child that she understands and loves children and can manage

them with kindliness an~ firmness.

So try to engage the sitter a few times while y~:)U and she will be there together

for a while.

Then the young child can get used to her before she has to do

too much for him directly.

As the child gradually accepts her, she can do mpre for him.

It is certainly important that you stick to one or two sitters

as much as possible.

You can learn about capable sitters or about a reliable agency through a friend

whose judgment you trust.

Young or old?

It's a matter of maturity and spirit rather than years.

I've occasionally seen a girl as young a,s fourteen

who was extremely capable and dependable, but it's unfair to

expect such qualities in most girls that age.

And some grown women may prove unreliable or harsh or ineffectual.

One older woman has a knack with children.

Another is too inflexible to adapt to a new child or is so nervous that

she makes child and parents uneasy.

To keep things straight, it's sensible to have a permanent
