Hi and welcome to another video about handpans.

My name is Sylvain Paslier, I've been playing handpans for over 10 years and I'm really

passionate about this art-form.

Recently, I had the incredible pleasure to visit Sean Beever of Symphonic Steel.

Sean is working on something really special that I want to tell you about.

So, check it out.

So, Sean, we are here in your workshop.

This is where the Iskra is made.

Your company is Symphonic Steel, you just gave us a tour.

One of the questions that I wanted to ask you is: people will hear the sound of the

Hang, the original Hang, and they will feel like it sounds different from other handpans.

It is my understanding that with the Iskra, you've re-created that original sound.

What was your motive behind that and how do you actually achieve that original sound?

The motive, number one, is that it really wasn't offered anymore.

There's a lot of handpans out there and it's almost gotten generic, not necessarily unique.

And there's still people out there that want an instrument that's like the Hang.

And, I mean, I love the sound of the Hang.

Of course, I build steel-pan and stuff like that, so I'm used to unique timbre.

And the Hang has that unique timbre, that's distinctly different than, basically, all

the handpans you can buy nowadays.

So, that's kind of why I wanted to go back to it.

Since PANArt has since basically moved on from the Hang, I figured I would sort of maybe

take some of their ideas and stuff that they released on building the instrument, make

a few little changes here and there tuning-wise to give it my own little flavor, but ultimately

I wanted to get that timbre because I feel it's important.

It's really what kind of caused the big interest in the instrument.

It was the Hang that really started it all.

So, how do you actually get that sound?

So, it comes down to several factors.

Number one, a proper heat treatment of the proper steel.

And then beyond that, it's primarily building a tuning method so there are basically some

things that I don't do that a lot of handpan makers do do as far as hammer shaping.

It's really ultimately about note structure.

And the tuning style is vastly different than a typical steel-pan tuning technique that

a lot of handpan makers use nowadays.

So, we're in this space.

Obviously, you're here in this workshop day in and day out.

What's a typical week looking like for you?

Let's see.

So a typical week...

I'll do various parts of the process on any given day, generally.

Most recently, over the last week, my employee and myself have been basically just making

more shells.

Every couple of months, I need more shells to build the instruments out of.

So, they start from flat sheets of steel that we cut out before they go into my hydroforming

machine, they get hydroformed.

That's using around 80 tons of force.

You don't have to do the math.

So we hydroform them.

That's what I've been doing this last week.

But on a typical week, I'll generally go through the entire process, from start to finish.

But basically, it's lots of hammering.

And lots of tuning.

That's awesome.

What do you do when you're not hammering steel? I see a huge banner on the wall.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of hockey.

I play a lot of hockey, generally, from 3 to 5 times a week.

It keeps me active, and on hot summer days like this it's nice to go into an ice rink

as well.

And you're playing tonight, right?

I am playing tonight, yes.

Do I understand we might see how a handpan is made?

Yeah, I think we can go build one.

See, literally, it's funny I've never written any of these down.

You'd think I would have over time.

It's all in the head.

It goes in, I line it up with my dot that's in the center.

Alright, so we've got our ding.

We've got all of our dimples pressed.

It's going to go in the kiln.

Does it sound like anything?

That's crazy!

So is there any sound on these notes or not yet?

No, if we were to play it, we'll do in the inside so we don't get any fingerprints on it.

So it's rough-tuned.

The next step would be glueing.

After the glue is sufficiently cured, there will be one round of fine-tuning and it's

going to sit for a week or so.

And then, I'll do another round of fine-tuning because it will drift in that time of a week,

as far as tuning is concerned.

Generally, it's going to go sharp.

And then, so I give it another fine-tuning and give it another week of rest.

And then, at that point, we basically see if it's stable.

Thank you for watching this video.

I hope you enjoyed the interactions with Sean who was so generous with his time, showing

us around the workshop.

I personally picked up my Iskra handpan, and it's one of the finest instruments I've ever played.

If Sean's intentional handpan-making approach resonates with you, check out his website

and I'll put a link in the description.

I'm going to be releasing a lot of videos about this new Iskra.

So be sure to subscribe if you want to stay tuned and hear that.

Finally, I'm going to wrap up this video with a clip of my brand new Iskra handpan.

Hail, my friends.

Glad to see you today.

A big thank you to Victor The Guitar Nerd, as always he is the guy I go to for my Ninja

Sex Party covers.

His channel is on the description below, go check it.

In spite of being a comedy band, Ninja Sex Party surprised everybody with this very special

song with those very emotional lyrics.

This song is basically a message from Danny, the singer, to his younger self in the past,

cheering him up about his future.

I think every creative introvert - nerds, per say - will relate a lot with what the

lyrics say about how his childhood was like.

In fact, at the end of the original video - which I will link on the description below,

go check it - there's a message that says: "This video is dedicated to all nerds in the

world.

Rock on!"

Nowadays the times are changing.

Thanks to the internet and to technology it's easier to have a creative outlet and, as the

lyrics says, to find our tribe.

So that's pretty awesome.

And Dan, Brian, if by any chance you're watching this, know that you guys are such an inspiration.

Alright my friends, I hope you enjoyed it.

I'll see you next time.

Meanwhile, here's a couple more videos for you to watch.

Have yourselves an epic day.

This is How You Hack A Neural Network - Duration: 3:42.

Dear Fellow Scholars, this is Two Minute Papers with Károly Zsolnai-Fehér.

This is a mind-boggling new piece of work from scientists at Google Brain on how to

hack and reprogram neural networks to make them perform any task we want.

A neural network is given by a prescribed number of layers, neurons within these layers

and weights, or in other words, the list of conditions under which these neurons will

fire.

By choosing the weights appropriately, we can make the neural network perform a large

variety of tasks, for instance, to tell us what an input image depicts, or predict new

camera viewpoints when looking at a virtual scene.

So this means that by changing the weights of a neural network, we can reprogram it to

perform something completely different, for instance, solve a captcha for us.

That is a really cool feature.

This work reveals a new kind of vulnerability by performing this kind of reprogramming of

neural networks in an adversarial manner, forcing them to perform tasks that they were

originally not intended to do.

It can perform new tasks that it has never done before, and these tasks are chosen by

the adversary.

So how do adversarial attacks work in general?

What does this mean?

Let's have a look at a classifier.

These neural networks are trained on a given, already existing dataset.

This means that they look at a lot of images of buses, and from these, they learn the most

important features that are common across buses.

Then, when we give them a new, previously unseen image of a bus, they will now be able

to identify whether we are seeing a bus or an ostrich.

A good example of an adversarial attack is when we present such a classifier with not

an image of a bus, but a bus plus some carefully crafted noise that is barely perceptible,

that forces the neural network to misclassify it as an ostrich.

And in this new work, we are not only interested in forcing the neural network to make a mistake,

but we want it to make exactly the kind of mistake we want!

That sounds awesome, but also, quite nebulous, so let's have a look at an example.

Here, we are trying to reprogram an image classifier to count the number of squares

in our images.

Step number one, we create a mapping between the classifier's original labels to our desired

labels.

Initially, this network was made to identify animals like sharks, hens, and ostriches.

Now, we seek to get this network to count the number of squares in our images, so we

make an appropriate mapping between their domain and our domain.

And then, we present the neural network with our images, these images are basically noise

and blocks, where the goal is to create these in a way that they coerce the neurons within

the neural network to perform our desired task.

The neural network then says tiger shark and ostrich, which when mapped to our domain,

means 4 and 10 squares respectively, which is exactly the answer we were looking for.

Now as you see, the attack is not subtle at all, but it doesn't need to be.

Quoting the paper: "The attack does not need to be imperceptible to humans, or even subtle,

in order to be considered a success.

Potential consequences of adversarial reprogramming include theft of computational resources from

public facing services, and repurposing of AI-driven assistants into spies or spam bots.".

As you see, it is of paramount importance that we talk about AI safety within this series

and my quest is to make sure that everyone is vigilant that now, tools like this exist.

Thank you so much for coming along on this journey, and if you're enjoying it, make sure

be on followup papers on this super interesting topic.

Thanks for watching and for your generous support, and I'll see you next time!

#FiveThings About CSS {S:01 E:25} - Duration: 8:43.

>> I feel like we need a sign like junior-

>> I know.

>> Dev for life.

Which reminds me of the too legit to quit

and we did this as kids. We made-

>> I don't remember that.

>> You don't remember doing the hand signs?

>> No, I just know the song.

>> We were so cool. Junior dev for life.

Hi. I'm Burke Holland.

>> I'm Aimee Knight.

>> This is five things about CSS.

>> Table flip.

>> Thing number one, this interview is over.

Number one, how does the browser

parse CSS at a high level?

>> Yeah, high level. So, there's

layout, paint, and composite.

So, layout is just the position and size of things.

Paint is actually hooking into

your computer and drawing

the actual pixels to the screen and

then composite something a little bit newer

the action of taking

those painted parts and putting

them together into layers.

>> So, what about just

setting everything to position fixed,

wouldn't just fix all of our problems?

>> I don't think that's what the users want.

>> That's how I code CSS.

Whenever anything doesn't work in CSS,

just set position fixed and move on with your life.

>> Or you could just do absolute or you could just

do negative margins and push

everything off the page and the user sees nothing.

>> Exactly. CSS is wonderful.

Thing number two, the browser has to parse

HTML, JavaScript, and CSS.

Well, what's the difference between the browser parsing,

the HTML, and the CSS?

>> So, the first thing CSS is

render blocking because the CSS has to be

completely done before it

can actually pull in the JavaScript.

>> So, it has to parse the CSS

before it can even start parsing the JavaScript?

>> Yeah. Because you can you imagine JavaScript comes in,

changes colors of things,

it's going to be like super jarring

for the user to see that.

Then also your JavaScript is

reaching for things inside your render tree,

and so if your CSS is reordering things and

the JavaScript hasn't- and

the CSS hasn't been loaded yet,

then JavaScript is going to get wrong answers.

>> Right. That would be a problem.

>> Yes.

>> So, the HTML is parsed first?

>> So, the HTML.

Yes. Well, or they could go at the same time.

Basically you get your HTML,

you get your CSS, and they get

mashed up together into something called the render tree.

>> CSS is context free.

What does that mean exactly?

>> So, CSS being context free it would be better

if we actually maybe talked about HTML for a little bit.

>> Okay.

>> So, HTML you can think about it like

a 10-year-old kid writes some HTML,

forget to close a tag.

The browser needs to account for the fact

that that 10-year-old hasn't

closed a tag or somebody forgets.

So, the browser has to have actual code,

it has to have context

of specifically what it's on at that point.

It has that context around what's around it,

where CSS doesn't because you

have to give it the browser valid CSS.

>> If it doesn't then it just doesn't work.

>> Yes.

>> So, does this mean that you don't- I think

what you're trying to say is that you don't need

semicolons in JavaScript. Is that right?

>> You don't need semicolons in JavaScript, yes?

>> Yeah,I think that's what you're trying to say.

>> I like them.

>> I do too and I don't understand why,

why are whispering? Thing number three.

Now, I've heard of the dumb which

is the document or the page that's loading.

But there's such thing as a CSSOM.

>> Yeah.

>> CSSOM.

>> I don't know how you actually pronounce it but-

>> CSSOM.

>> Sure.

>> What is that?

>> We can make that up. So, it's a CSS object model.

So, it really is kind of

you can think of it like the DOM.

So it's just like AST tree like structure.

You need to have the DOM and need to have

the CSS object model because we're going to get mashed

up together into something called the

render tree that the browser uses to

actually paint and draw

everything in the correct order and stuff like that.

But the CSS object model and

the DOM the key there is just remember they're not

one to one because if we imagine your DOM is

going to have a script tags or a head element,

meta tags stuff like that,

whereas a CSS object model,

if it's not rendered to the screen,

it's not in the object model for the CSS.

>> Interesting. CSSOM is

much harder to pronounce than DOM.

>> Yes.

>> It's just some hard much more difficult acronym.

>> Yeah. Now you got me thinking, how can I pronounce it?

>> CSSOM.

>> It sounds very like-

>> CSSOM. But see that would not- that's not CSS at all.

It be like CSS [inaudible].

Thing number four. If I'm a JavaScript developer,

can I just be honest and say,

"Why do I even need to know CSS?

Do I really even need to know it?"

>> Yeah, that's how I used to be too,

and then I realized when I got purely front unroll

that my CSS skills sucked.

>> Mine are bad.

>> So, what do I need to know?

I mean there's a couple of things.

Like you want to stay up to date on your CSS skills.

Like Flexbox is way

more performant than using a floated layout.

It's also way easier to use.

>> Are you saying no float left anymore? No flexbox?

>> Yeah. Don't float.

I heard somebody say float the other day,

I was like, "No! Don't do that!".

>> Float, clearing floats.

>> "Why do you like pain? Don't do that."

Besides that, I think

you need to stay excited about CSS to an extent as well.

The other thing too to keep in mind,

so JavaScript is not always the best choice for styling.

JavaScript wasn't created for styling necessarily.

So, with CSS a lot of

these properties automatically are

going to hook into your GPU,

so they're going to be faster.

>> Right. So, when you say look into the GPU,

what do we mean by that?

For people who don't know,

why is that more important than just not having the GPU?

>> Yeah. So, CPU is just going to

like take a lot more time.

That's back to compositing.

Compositing uses the GPU,

so there are certain properties like transform,

opacity, stuff like that.

Those are the things that you would want to use.

>> Right. And that makes it much,

much faster more performant.

>> Yeah, yeah.

>> There's so much you can do with CSS now.

If you don't believe us, you should check out CodePen.

You can do a lot with CSS

before you even need JavaScript.

Sorry JavaScript developers.

>> I still love JavaScript though.

>> Me too.

>> Don't tell CSS people I said that.

>> I'm not trading JavaScript for CSS any

day soon. Number five.

What would you say trips people up the most about CSS?

This is a tough question. Because whoa.

>> Yeah. I did a little curveball

actually before I did my talk on this,

and specificity in the index were really high up there.

So, specificity, like the cascade

everybody's like screw it.

This just doesn't make any sense,

but it's just code.

It's just called the browser understands.

So, there's like

a systematic mathematical way to go about it.

You just need to know which selector you're using.

You need to know how it's calculated,

what the value of it is.

As far as the index goes,

I don't think most people realize,

I didn't until I started digging into this stuff that

z-index is all about a stacking context.

Stacking context you have your root stacking

context which is created by the document.

Then you can have local sagging contacts

which is created by certain properties.

So, z-index is going to create a local stacking context.

So, you need to understand if I have this section of

the page that I want to move

under this section of the page,

then this section needs to be

within the same stacking context as this section.

>> Whoa! That was confusing even just to listen to.

>> Yeah. Then there's other thing

like people don't realize that

certain properties that you're using besides

the index will create a new stacking context.

So, I've talked to developers who've spent

days trying to figure out where in

the world this new stacking context is coming.

But opacity transforms again.

Those are a great new stacking context.

>> This specificity thing I think is interesting.

Number one, because saying

the word specificity is very hard and also because I

think we've all been in that place where you

just you get so

fed up of you're like important bang, I'm done with it.

>> Yeah, all [inaudible]

>> Right. Exactly. Somebody once said

like it's Friday and porting your way to freedom.

You just want it to work.

I've done that before.

Not ashamed to say it.

The hardest thing for me about CSS is linking

the CSS in the page in the HTML page.

I can never remember what

the syntax is for the link tags.

>> We have so many built tools that do it

for us now. We don't have to.

>> You think after doing word development for 15 years,

I know how to do a link tag.

I don't and that's a problem. I'm Burke Holland.

>> I'm Aimee Knight.

>> And now you know five things

about CSS. Want to table flip?

>> Yes.

>> Table flip.

Best DISC Profile for a Real Estate Transaction Coordinator - Duration: 1:51.

- [Kyle] When building the ideal real estate team,

what disc profile should you be looking for?

The ideal disc profile for a TC,

which is one of the next hires

that you should be making,

because you just need to go out there

and get deals done,

hand the paperwork off,

let somebody else handle that stuff,

go back out and sell that next house.

A TC, very similar to an assistant,

and you want a high C there.

You want somebody, again, who's very cautious,

very calculated, really likes checklist.

You'll find the C's love checklists

because they want to know exactly what to do,

when is it due,

and they love checking off those boxes.

They get a high off of that.

My wife is a very high C.

She loves it when she can clean the house,

and there's a beginning and an end to everything.

There's steps that happen in between.

C's love that.

They really get a high off of that.

That's perfect for a TC.

The other thing that I've found is TC's,

they need to have some D,

which again is decisive or very dominant

because, D's, they need ...

TC's, which are high C's, also high D's,

they need to be able to take control,

and they need to be able to be aggressive sometimes.

If TC's are too soft, sometimes

they're not the best at getting stuff done.

A lot of times, they need to make that phone call,

"Hey, I need this document.

Where is it?"

Sometimes people who don't have enough D

aren't comfortable making that phone call,

so they need to be tough.

They need to be willing to step up and dominate

every once in a while.

Kerrie's Clearing Story - Canterbury Christ Church University - Duration: 2:03.

hi I'm Kerri and I'm here today to tell you my clearing story being 23 and

coming back to university wasn't always on the cards however I took the jump

last year came back I finished my first year and I've loved it so far so today

I'm just going to tell you a little bit more about it and how I got to where I

am so my experience of school and college were not great I had glandular

fever and became quite ill so did part time didn't always receive the right

support and didn't have the right networks around me to help so when I

finished school I went straight into work and got loads of experience with

different roles loads of training and even some qualifications out of it which

were great however they did make me realize that that's not what I wanted to

do and what I wanted to do was work with children which meant I needed to either

go back to college or go to university and university was the better option

because you get stronger qualification so that was my biggest move of the year

my biggest worry with starting university was that I was leaving a

full-time job and growing into full-time studies I

earning while studying was big priority of mine from September when I started I

joined the outreach team and I now work alongside different schools in the area

and working with children so it all works towards my degree and it means

that I'm earning while I'm here I also have been able to get loads of support

from them while studying because they put your studies first so they

understand and then I've also been able to receive support from other support

services within the university looking back on the last year I can't quite

believe how far I've come from being a 16 year old at school not doing very

well and being really poorly so now where I've just finished my first year

of University and I'm going into my second year I'm really excited for what

my future holds and I can't wait to continue

Bryce Dudal: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com - Duration: 8:29.

Bryce Dudal: 5 Fast Facts You Need to Know | Heavy.com

Bryce Dudal is the pizza delivery guy who amazed a Detroit family when he sat down at their piano and played a flawless rendition of Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata.

The 18 year old Dudal said he was largely self-taught; he played the Beethoven completely from memory.

The Varchetti family — the customers who ordered the pizza — said they were "blown away" by Dudal's playing, and a video of his performance has gone viral.

Dudal, 18, is also a serious baseball player.

He has admitted that he got a kick out of surprising the Varchetti family with his piano playing.

He says more people don't expect him to have any talent, because, when they look at him, "all they see is a pizza delivery guy," he said.

Here's what you need to know:.

Dudal Was Delivering a Hungry Howie Pizza When He Noticed a Piano Just Inside the Foyer.

Dudal is a delivery man who works for Hungry Howie's.

On July 25, Dudal delivered a pizza to the Varchetti family in a Detroit suburb.

After he delivered the pepperoni pie, Dudal spotted a baby grand piano in the foyer.

He asked the Varchetti family if he could take a look at it, and they invited him to sit down and try it out.

They were amazed when Dudal sat down and hammered out a flawless rendition of the 3rd movement of Beethoven's "Moonlight" sonata.

Oliver Varchetti had the presence of mind to record the whole performance, a fast-moving and complex piece of music.

Oliver texted the video of Dudal's performance to his wife, Julie, who was out that evening.

She posted the video to her Facebook page where it quickly went viral.

Julie also admitted that if she had been home, the family would never have ordered pizza from Hungry Howie's, or met Dudal, since she is "obsessed" with a pizza place called Jets.

Dudal Started Playing Piano When He Was Six.

He Started Out Playing the Scooby Doo Song.

Dudal first got interested in playing the piano when he was six years old.

His family had a small keyboard, which he learned to play a few simple songs on.

Whenever Dudal got the chance, he'd go to his aunt's house and practice on her piano.

One of the first songs he played was the theme song for Scooby Doo.

But he soon fell in love with Beethoven — especially with the third movement of Beethoven's famous "moonlight sonata." He first heard the piece when he was 6 or 7 years old.

He didn't know how to read music yet, but he spent hours playing along with the recording until he finally figured out how to play the piece.

Dudal's musical taste is ecclectic.

His YouTube channel ranges from Eminem to Beethoven, with some Santana and some country music in the mix as well.

It Was Tough for Dudal to Find The Right Piano Teacher, Because He Was Only Interested in Learning One Piece of Music.

Dudal's parents weren't rich.

He father was a policeman, and his mother was a surgical technician.

Once they figured out that their son was muscially gifted, they decided to do whatever they needed to in order to get him music lessons.

They even managed to buy him a piano, rearranging all the furniture in the house so that they could squeeze the piano in.

But the biggest problem turned out to be finding the right music teacher.

Dudal went through five or six different teachers before finally finding the right one — the one who would let him focus on learning to play Beethoven, instead of forcing him to start out with the basics and go through lots of drills.

He finally found the teacher who was right for him when he was 12 years old — six years after he first took up the piano.

By that time, the largely self-taught musician was already performing at dances and balls.

You can see video of the young Dudal performing Beethoven here.

Dudal Is Also a Gifted Athlete Who Won a Baseball Scholarship for College.

Dudal was obsessed with the piano for years.

From the time he started playing, around age 6, up until the time he started high school, Dudal was dutifully practicing for hours every day.

But when he started high school, he fell in love with baseball.

And, he says, he put the piano on the back burner, at least for a while.

He started spending hours every day working out and practicing.

Dudal even won a baseball scholarship to his local community college, Macomb Community College.

He's all set to start classes in August.

Dudal told the Washington Post that playing the piano at the Varchettis' home reminded him of how much he loved performing and making music.

Dudal Says It's Always a Big 'Stress Reliever' When He Can 'Bust Out Some Beethoven'.

Dudal told ABC News that music is a great way to relax.

He said that it's always a big "stress reliever" for him when he can play music — especially when he gets the chance to "bust out some Beethoven.".

Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata — especially the piece's third movement — first inspired Dudal when he was around six years old.

The young man has been playing the piece ever since.

He spent at least a year painstakingly teaching himself how to play it just by listening to recordings and then playing it again and again until he finally got it right.

You can watch video of the younger Dudal performing that same piece of music here.

And you can see a very young Dudal performing here.

Signs of a Degenerative Knee - Duration: 7:03.

Signs of a Degenerative Knee

We know that a degeneration of the knee joint is a chronic disease that causes pain and in many cases can incapacitate, so much so that often surgery for a knee replacement is recommended.

But through some healthy lifestyle changes and preventative measures you can fight the loss of your knee health.

The following article will help guide you.

What causes degeneration of the knee joint?.

Arthritis is the leading cause of knee joint degeneration.

In many cases genetics or hereditary diseases are to blame for the condition, and may include obesity or excess weight that puts stress on the joint.

There are rare occasions where the degeneration does not appear to have any origin.

People may experience a slight alteration of their joint's cartilage cells, or malformation of muscles or subcondral bone alignment which causes an undesirable alignment and resistance in the joint as well as affecting the elasticity of the cartilage, causes cartilage thinning and deterioration.

You should also take into consideration the damage that arthritis due to age can do, mainly the degeneration of cartilage cells.

Among other cause of joint degeneration are injury or a lesion or previously unknown anomaly of the joint itself.

That is known as secondary joint arthritis and is mainly caused by injuries to the meniscus, fractures or knee strains.

These are often found in athletes or those suffering from obesity.

Despite the origin of your degenerative knee problems, man of the symptoms are clear.

Symptoms of a degenerative knee.

Pain after long periods of standing, feeling of pinched nerves.

Swelling or pain after walking over rocky or uneven flooring, such as after a long hike.

Sharp pains while climbing steps that may even have resulted in a fall.

Pain during standing after long periods of sitting.

Crunching or popping of joints.

On occasion swelling.

But be cautious; what often appears as swelling may be water retention.

You can differentiate by noticing whether only one knee is swollen and/or if your feet or legs are swelling as well.

In advanced stages, a malformation of the knee joint can be noticed, often causes your knees to turn inward due to cartilage damage.

The development of ostiofitos in the joint.

How do you prevent joint degeneration?.

If you've been diagnosed with degenerative knees you'll want start thinking about changing your lifestyle.

You'll need to take very seriously the advice of your physician, educate yourself on pain management and the accompanying pharmaceutical prescription drugs.

Lifestyle changes can mean anything from avoiding picking up heavy objects to scheduling in rests and massage sessions.

Those who suffer from a degeneration of the knee joints often live long and healthy lives.

When the moment comes, you'll want to discuss knee replacement with your doctor.

Often replaced joints have a limited shelf life, which is why discussing a knee replacement or any surgery should be done with an eye to your age and health.

But before that option is necessary, you can take steps now to help control the pain and degeneration.

Prevention is key.

You may have inherited the condition, or it may have resulted from a life long bone and ligament problem, but it doesn't have to rule your life.

Be aware that cartilage can always regenerate, and living a healthy life can not only help limit the loss of cartilage but help you rebuild it.

The following are some items to condor in the prevention phase of knee joint degeneration:.

Watch your weight; maintain a healthy weight to lessen the stress on your joints.

Boost your immune system by ensuring you're getting enough calcium, phosphorus and above all, magnesium.

Make sure fruits and vegetables are a major part of your diet.

You can speak to a nutritionist who can recommend foods or diets rich in these nutrients.

Consult a nutritionist for a diet plan that help renew your cartilage; make sure to include legumes, yeast ,gelatin and eggs, as well as vitamin C present in fruits such as lemons, oranges and kiwis.

Don't eliminate exercise; try swimming, which is easy on the joints and good for your overall muscle and bone health.

By adjusting your lifestyle and making a few simple changes, you'll notice a relief of pain associated with degenerating joints and cartilage.

Remember that prevention and management are key to this condition.

5 Asphalt 9: Legends Tips & Tricks You Need to Know | Heavy.com - Duration: 10:27.

5 Asphalt 9: Legends Tips & Tricks You Need to Know | Heavy.com

When it comes to the best racing game experience on mobile, Gameloft's mastered the craft with their Asphalt series.

They've earned the trust of their loyal audience and have no made it all the way to the franchise's ninth entry.

Asphalt 9: Legends hits the road with an amazing lineup of vehicles, a new control scheme, beautiful new locales, and the same high-quality racing past entries relied on.

We put together this guide so you can get the most out of your time spent as a mobile racing daredevil.

It's time to drift, flip, smash, and boost to your heart's content!.

How to Rule the Road!.

• Instead of barely making it to second or third place, your personal goal for every race should be making it to the front of the pack.

Guaranteeing yourself a victory during every race involves making smart decisions on when to activate your nitro boost, drift, and 360-degree spin maneuvers.

• Boosting should be relied on more than anything else since it can quickly move you from the back and push you to the front of the racing line.

You should only drift around tight corners, which in turn refills your boost.

While boosting, always try to go for a "Pulse Nitro" boost (this entails tapping the nitro button a second time while boosting when its meter falls into the blue section).

• You can actually wipe out the competition (literally) by utilizing your 360-degree spin.

Be careful when using this move, however – it slows you down.

So make sure you're as close as possible to a pack of cars before you start spinning.

Going all "Destruction Derby" on other racers should increase your chances of winning.

You can also boost right into other vehicles, too.

• The "Perfect Nitro" boost (which activates after tapping the boost button twice) can turn you into a fearsome battering ram.

You can also make good use of this boost technique to make a final push to the finish line if you're behind or even while you're ahead.

And last but certainly not least, ramps are your best friend.

Use them and take to the sky at all times!.

The Importance of Upgrades.

• Every event has a "Recommended Rank" limit for eligible cars.

You should be aware of a newly unlocked car so you bring it up to that limit and allow it to participate in the next round of events.

The order in which you should prioritize which car elements to upgrade should be Top Speed, Nitro, Acceleration, and Handling.

• Once a vehicle reaches the max level for all its upgrades, you'll need to acquire new "Blueprint Cards" for that vehicle.

Once you unlock the listed amount of cards needed to help a car "Star Up," you'll be able to make that car reach a new stage of upgrades and become even better.

Upgrading not only improves your vehicle lineup, it also helps increase your "Garage Level." Once a new Garage Level is reached, new Car Cards become available within the Store's Card Packs.

Always Strive to Complete Race Goals and Keep Track of Your Missions.

• Every time you're set to enter a new event, make a mental note of its goals.

They're usually pretty simple, such as completing a race and coming in at first place.

By completing all of the race goals for a particular event, you'll accumulate the car blueprints needed for your vehicle unlocking and enhancing endeavors.

By the way, you'll also gain a vehicle Blueprint once you've completed a Season.

• You'll also gain extra Credits based on your finishing position and your Flag Bonus.

Reputation Points also come your way, which leads to your Reputation Score reaching new levels.

An increase in that area refuels all of your cars and grants you extra rewards.

• As for Missions, take a look at the ones you're close to completing during the post-race breakdown.

You can also look at Missions through your "Player Profile," which can be found at the top of the main menu (tap on the head icon).

You'll get Tokens for fulfilling Mission requirements, so make it habit of finishing them so you have enough currency to purchase new Card Packs.

Participate in Other Modes and Replay Past Races to Earn Even More Rewards.

• All those Credits, Tokens, Blueprint Cards, and Card Packs enter your inventory after succeeding in events.

Asphalt 9: Legends gives you a ton of things to do within "My Career," "My Club," "Multiplayer," and "Daily Events.".

• Dedicate yourself to playing a bunch of Season mode every day and spending the last bit of your daily playthrough with the other playable modes.

Of course you'll need "Gas Tanks" for your cars in order for them to be playable in those modes.

Don't worry, though – you'll be given the opportunity to watch a video advertisement and quickly refill them for any vehicle in your garage.

• Play through all of your Daily Events, especially on days where top class cars are offered up as prizes for winning.

And take your best cars into Multiplayer – those other human racers are definitely going to bring their best as well.

All your winning efforts and event completions increase in quality and quantity if you're a part of a Club, so join one as soon as that option become available.

Be Wise With Your Store Spending.

• The Store has a ton of great rewards for sale.

Some of those items even come free of charge.

You'll be able to open a free "Classic Pack" every four hours, which gifts you with two cards.

The other free card pack is the "Ads Pack," which throws a single card your way after you get done watching a video ad.

• Since you'll earn plenty of Credits just by playing the game, don't ever waste your Tokens on buying them.

Instead, put your Tokens towards purchasing Card Packs.

The Card Packs lineup changes every few days, so be sure to buy the Featured Car Blueprint Card you really want before it expires.

And lastly, cop a few Premium Packs every now and then – you'll acquire five new cards every time you buy one.

You may get lucky and get a whole bunch of new Blueprint Cards during a single purchase!.

My first ever diy travel watercolor palette + skillshare bookbinding course! - Duration: 7:23.

I don't really know what I was thinking about was I thinking hello friends its

cat from meow meow kapok! I actually just had to pull this out recently this is

the first travel watercolor kit that I ever made and I actually think that

probably this is where I peaked. well let me walk you through it so first of all

it's covered in gorgeous washi tape which I've been doing since the start to

keep it secured I have these little hair bands now the reason it needs to be

secured is because on the back I've got a little book and I've also got my paper

towel there for you know blotting and stuff if you want to know how to make

this book this is a maze book I actually just posted my skillshare course it's

down in the doobly-doo and I show you how to make I think five different kinds

of books I would love to get your feedback on that so I'm gonna take off

the little hair bands they're holding those on so my little maze book here and

it's made out of watercolor paper so I can paint on it and then I've got that

now this is just an Altoids tin but it's actually one-and-a-half Altoids tins

the bottom this is another top so I'm gonna take off this and you'll see in

here I've got my little swatch chart for what's inside and then if I take that

off it's connected with magnets so I've also got the first ever one of these

where I made the dividers out of hot glue which who knows why hot glue and

packing tape are everything in my universe but they are so for my swatch

chart I've got all of the colors on one side and each of the little spots is

labeled with a number and then on the back I've got the number and then also

the name of that color so I'm just gonna slap that on there so it just stays out

of the way for the palette itself if you open it up there's all sorts of goodies

inside so I've got this little thing which is just supposed to be able to

like scratch and make marks... I never do I've also got a mixing spot on the top that

is also held in with magnets because you know I love my magnets and this was just

made out of some wax paper and then also some hot glue and it's got this little

tab so that I can pull it up if I need to and then inside I've got

a tiny little spray bottle to rewet things a tiny little water brush that comes

in two parts and then you can put it back together some little clips and

itsy-bitsy pencil eraser and then if you look in the bottom I've got a piece of

wax paper that's over top of my paints so that they don't get everything else

wet and they can all live together and have harmony but if I pull up the side

which there's a tab there too and it's attached by magnet then I can get to my

paints now I just put all those paints inside of a used-up pill container so

the way that you use this one is I've got this you know folded out-of-the-way

whatever I'll let the magnet not do its job and

close to the bottom there we go I had to flip it over it's been a while I

actually haven't used this one as you can tell from it being in pristine

condition so then you take the other lid and you put it on either side doesn't

really matter which side it is grab one of the clips and you clip it on so then

you've got tons of mixing space either in here or up there and if you really

wanted to go nuts and you had to mix all of the colors in the universe you can

peel this off and you can put it on the table next to you if you have to and

then that's it I love those paints by the way the Mijello Mission gold. they

were my first like real watercolors that I got actually they were just the first

watercolors that I really got aside from some in college that are in a box

somewhere I'll try and find them if you want me to yeah I figured that I would

go down this memory lane with you even though it's only two years old seeing my

first travel palette this is it this is what started the whole obsession with

making travel palettes and finding the most efficient ways to do things and

this took me like two days to make because I didn't really know what I was

doing and there was nobody that was doing anything that was like this online

like nobody at all I mean maybe people were using altoid palettes they

were using it Altoids tins but they weren't using like another lid to have

extra mixing space and definitely nobody was using hot glue

to make mixing Wells because I felt like the most clever person in the universe

when I came up with that and actually you know what Jennifer Charlee saw this

not this particular palette but saw this and she also made a video of her making

mixing Wells out of hot glue I'm gonna link that down there

she took a makeup palette and turned it into a water color palette but then also

used the hot glue method to give herself some extra mixing wallows which is super

rad yeah let me just show you it getting all packed up again

that's it that is my first ever travel watercolour kit I should really use it I

feel really guilty for not using it and you know what you guys are long overdue

for a review on the Magellan mission gold paints because they really do hold

a special place in my heart given that they're kind of what started this whole

thing the whole reason that I even have a youtube channel about that Skillshare

course that I mentioned earlier please if you already have a Skillshare account

please check it out I would love it I would love if you would give me feedback

I would love if you just learned something from me or if you say that it

wasn't helpful because you didn't or say that it was because you did I want to

make more courses on there and I want to teach more bigger things like I did a

video a while ago making this book on my youtube funnily enough as a

collaboration with Jennifer Charlie who I mentioned earlier and I said that I

would teach how to make it and I did I made the course specifically to help

build up the basic skills that you need in order to make this much more easily

and then I even did one book past this as far as like skills go it's it's it

makes sense when you watch it at least I hope it makes sense that it makes sense

the progression of the lessons I'd also like to know what my next course should

be if you're interested in it if you don't have a skill share account already

then if you look down on the doobly-doo there is actually a link for you to get

two free months so that would be super great I'd love if you can check out my

course I spent a lot of time working on it and I'm proud of it and I want you

guys to like it okay anyway until I see you next time I wish you peace love and

good memories bye

((bubba)) Hi tinky! (It's our dumb way of saying stinky.)

that's interesting

How to Effectively and Easily Make YouTube Subtitles - Duration: 2:55.

Welcome to Media/Pool, I'm Joshua Courtney. Today I'm going to show you how to

create effective YouTube subtitles in an easy and non frustrating way. In order for

your videos to succeed, not only do they need intriguing content but they also

need to accommodate for hard of hearing or deaf viewers.

Hence, subtitles are needed to really make sure that your video can be

accessible to as many people as possible. Good subtitles include the right

spelling, correct grammar, and make sure that they are timed efficiently as well.

First of all, any video you make need to script. These scripts can take on

multiple different drafts and forms. You need to make sure that your script is

finalized before you record your voiceover - one good habit to get into

while creating your script is that after each paragraph is written, time your self

speaking it to get a sense of how long your video is going to be. Once that is

done, record your voice over. I tend to record paragraph by paragraph if it's

not too big, this way each paragraph on your editing timeline is separate so if

you need to space things out if your video calls for it, you can. The fluidity

of this technique allows you to make necessary edits and gives you freedom of

space when you eventually get to the editing stage. Once you have crafted your

voice-over, edited your video and uploaded your video to YouTube, the last

thing you need to do is make sure that the video contains YouTube subtitles. In

order to do this, go into your video manager for Media/Pool and on the video

of your choosing, click on the drop-down menu and then choose subtitles/CC. What

you'll find is that YouTube has already auto-generated English subtitles for

your video. Now over the years Google's technology for auto-generating subtitles

based on language and timing has really improved - this therefore allows you to

save a lot of time creating these subtitles. What I did was have my

finalized script on one side and the YouTube page on another. The thing that

will take the most time now is that you have to go through each line and correct

the grammar, spelling, and word check as the auto generation of course isn't

perfect. And make sure it mirrors your finalised

script. In terms of timing, this is usually fine but make sure that the

sentence matches up with what your script says and it should be okay. That

said, once you've finished make sure you watch it back and make sure the timings

are okay. Make sure your changes are also saved.

And that is how to do YouTube subtitles properly and efficiently. I hope this

helps you on the Viral Video media course. Thank you very much for watching!
