Waching daily Sep 26 2018

I'm kind a city slicker nowadays.

YEAH BOY I COULD TELL YA WERE ONE.

It's ok I can use that voice without being offensive- I grew up in Arkansas and have

family members that talk like that…

So though I'm a city slicker I still can admire a nice big fixed blade for some future

theoretical camping, or pretending to Youtube Bushcraft- a very specific style of bushcraft

where fires are instantly started with a ferro rod, and creating feather sticks and wood

shaving piles only takes a quick minute or two.

Fallkniven a company from Sweden makes a whole line of fancy yet tough people fixed blades.

And on the other hand I can't do a Swedish accent without creating an international incident-

although I'm really tempted.

The main ones that show up on Youtube and social media outdoor off the grid simple living

accounts with pristene knives are the small F1 with a blade in the mid 3 inch range, the

S1 just over 5 inches and seen here, and the A1 a little over 6 inches.

Now they have pro versions of these nearing $300, but they can eat a feather stick if

they think this guy will pay that much.

And as an aside they make a big ass bowie called the NL1, that's cat call worthy-

but $529.

So let's dimension it up with the S1 standard version with the leather dangler sheath option

that costs more than the standard zytel sheath option, a sheath that somehow manages to look

cheaper and uglier than a Mora's.

Like the overall length and weight.

With and without the sheath.

Looks aside Zytel might be a better option for wetter climates because Zytel is plastic

and leather retains moisture.

Blade size and cutting edge.

Note the perfect convex grind without a microlevel.

Handle size and grip area.

Look it has a glass breaker on the butt- so you can escape your overturned car like on

the infomercials.

Spine thickness and handle thickness.

Yeah it's a stout blade.

I think Cedric and Ada has a shirt for that.

Tallnesses!

One of the trademarks of the Fallkniven alphabet series is the slightly unusual for the type

of knife blade.

A lot of knives in this category are flat or hollow grinds with just a carbon steel

or I guess something nicer like 3V or whatever your into now- but the Fallkniven features

a laminated steel with a convex grind.

Fallkniven uses a few laminated steel varieties but in this particular knife we have what

they call laminated VG10 which uses 420J2 as it's secondary steel.

Laminated means there are a few layers of steel sandwiched or enchanted together because

they say it makes it stronger and more corrosion resistant.

Here is the official statement from their website, so pause it if you're into reading

about steels.

Just make sure the blinds are closed.

Now a convex grind like this is best sharpened free hand or with the sandpaper mouse pad

method to preserves the rounded convex edge.

I'll link a video at the end.

Convex edges are ideal for outdoor general purpose stuff because they're durable due

to the more steel behind the edge.

Breaking up wood, cutting through cardboard in the forest, cleaning kilt animals- whatever.

I will say convex edges are useful, but if you're looking for paper thin cuts or a

super slicer knife, thinner behind the edge knives with a thinner blade stock are better,

if you need Youtube chef precision.

A sharp S1 pro cuts and splits, versus cuts and slices, if that makes sense.

Just make sure you keep it sharp.

Different thickness convex edges on other knives may yield different results- I'm

just referring to this knife.

I'm sure you have a convex edge that's a better slicer than all of your other knives

an I'm wrong.

The handle.

The handle has a full length tang, not quite full height- just do a google image search

to see what I mean.

It's fairly tall and to be quite honest, shouldn't be any difference in overall strength

than a full height full length tang.

Yes even your hard use.

Fallkniven refers to it as a broad tang.

The handle covering is not removable without cutting it off, but it's a type of TPE called

Thermorun containing rubber and plastic.

Crass speaking of course.

I'm just saying if you use technical terms that refer to the chemical component makeup

of the handle and call it crass terminology when there's not a single fuck to be found

anywhere you're showboating.

So kudos for Fallkniven for creating a product description that talks down to the reader.

It doesn't really have much give to it, so it's hard, but offers a ton of grip.

It would be super swell if Fallkniven would make a removable esee style handle, if it

ever needed replacement after hard use, but they don't.

That's what duck tape and paracord are for.

The handle is comfortable, great in forest slime, and fit my hand well.

Although I'm not gonna lie I think I wish I got the A1 now.

The sheath.

I got the leather option because I wanted to spend $30 more.

I tend to store my knives inside, and generally don't play outside when wet, so leather

makes sense.

Leather on the interior can retain moisture if you put your knife away wet, so think about

the hideous Zytel sheath if you are constantly in wet survival style situations- or are covered

in blood because you're that fucking tactical.

The sheath dangles, just like I like, it's thick welted leather, so it should last a

lifetime or until you throw it up on knife club in carried a few times but never used

condition.

How about comparisons.

I knew you'd ask!

First the S1.

The fit and finish of the knife is great.

It just feels well thought out an functional.

I know the knife industrial complex loves churning out new designs and upgrades, to

make you want to upgrade after you've upgraded… but I like this simple aesthetic.

And hey they make a more expensive version just to keep a fool and his money separate.

Grippy, durable, and tasteful.

Now the Survival combat ready Dogs Head Utility knife.

I'll be honest, I like the standard edge of this a bit better- however the blade is

kind of a ridiculous length- but sometimes I don't make the best decisions so I still

like it.

It's also half the price.

Now the Esee 3.

One of these days I'm gonna get an uncoated Esee, but until Esee offers me a free one,

or I find a good deal on one, I'll just wait.

Smaller…

I like more better the micarta handle to the TPE, crass speaking.

Now the Vangedal Rover.

Thin flat grind, a bit better for slicing I think.

Despite having a wood handle this one has held up well to abuse and camping and is only

$40.

This might be a better value on a budget.

Ok that's it, I mean not quite IT.

The fallkniven is an excellent Swedish made by way of Japan knife.

As in like their knives are made mostly or all-ly in Japan.

But they think about them in Sweden.

Like some spydercos!

I've used this knife quite a bit on breaking down all of my amazon knife packaging.

And some food, and you know backyard stuff too.

Long term testing will reveal is this becomes a favorite knife of mine.

I have quite a few knives now- but seeing as Ive had requests for this and see it talked

about on the internet a lot I thought I'd try it.

You know a knife has to be good if people talk for pages about it on the internet.

If you're doing some dumb stuff with your knife, like battening- the larger A1 might

be better with a longer blade.

I ain't gonna be the channel to tell you to get a smaller knife- because that's stupid!

If you're a boring dude or dudette and are eating and cleaning game the smaller Esee

3 sized F1 or this one are good choices.

The knife is well balanced and just feels right but a little expensive in my hand.

Here's Why this 2002 Honda Insight is Cooler than You Think | Scotty Kilmer - Duration: 5:24.

welcome to wacky Wednesday's, where everyone has a chance to show off their

car mods, and here's this week's winner,

today I'm doing a video on my 2002 Honda Insight and why I think it's the best

car to own if you have a car you actually care about, this is the first

production hybrid to the US market debuting in 2000 and running to 2006

beating out the Prius by a couple months what makes this car so unique is just

how many sacrifices Honda was willing to make for gas mileage, this is just

something that couldn't be done today in order to make it so light everything in

the car is aluminum, from the wheels to the frame and the body because of all

these sacrifices it's no wonder that Prius went out in the end

however Honda has brought back the insight in the second and third

generation both distancing themselves from the first generation that was

unapologetically hybrid, this has a three cylinder one liter engine only making

about 64 horsepower between the engine and the transmission sits the electric

motor which makes about 10 odd horsepower because of the instant torque

of the electric motor this car goes from zero to 60 in about 10 seconds with the

five-speed transmission and about 13 seconds with the CVT automatic

transmission, although this is a two-seater sometimes my friends can get

away with sitting in the back trunk and just covering themselves with the

blanket although this is super illegal and not recommended

the design of the insight resembles a lot of a raindrop, it has its roots in

the classic CRX it also borrows the gauges and the steering wheel design

from the s2000 of the same time period, because of its strange design it does

draw a lot of attention the only bona fide modification I have

to my car is to increase gas mileage of course so as you can see here I have a

dryer vent and I only have this on during the cold months of the year

usually in the winter and so what I do is I route the air from the front you

can see this snorkel here that brings in cold air from the front and I just

reroute that around this engine piece which I take off to make this all fit

and back to my catalytic converter back here and my exhaust and what that does

is it lets the engine bring in warm air to the combustion chamber and I'm not a

hundred percent sure if it increases its fuel economy through leaner combustion

but it certainly tricks the engine to think that it's warmer outside allowing

it to idle lower and give me auto stop function while I'm in the city and in

traffic and so that's really important for gas mileage in the wintertime so

this is something you can actually do yourself on any car you want really I'm

not sure how much exactly it improves gas mileage but I know that people have

done it far better than I have, this is just the easiest way that I've seen

people also drill holes in the air box the air filter box right here just to

draw in hot air from the engine compartment but it kind of helps to take

the air off of the hot exhaust to really get the effect so yeah that's how I stay

warm in the winter, I bought this car for only $1000 from a guy here in town he

was originally from the UK and actually was in the crowd of one of the Top Gear

episodes, he forfeited the car because the battery had died

after the car had sit for too long, I was able to revive the battery however

through a cheap kit that I bought online that helped top off each cell to make

the battery healthier and last longer since then I haven't had to rebalance

the battery cells, what's most important to me about this car is the fact that

I've been hit three times in the last two weeks I was rear-ended which actually

paid the car completely off I got $900 from the insurance company just for that

little bump right there, my mirror was almost knocked off while I

was parked on the street and my dad actually backed into me when I was in

the driveway so you can say that the insight saved to my Volkswagen Beetle

three times from being hit and that alone pays off a car like this, it's

cheap to buy cheap to maintain and it'll save you from the car that you do love

from being hit, so that's my video thank you guys for watching and thank you

Scotty for featuring me on your channel, well that was this week's video and to

have your car mod shown on my channel here check this out,

so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to

ring that Bell!

Power BI Control Chart: Create Automatically, Improve Processes Continuously 📈 - Duration: 9:21.

How can you create an automatic control chart

in Power BI and first of all what is a control chart and how can you use it to continuously

improve any given process I'll cover all that and more and if you have use control chart

either in Power BI or excel do leave me a comment and let me know what you think about

them and if you would like to become a Power BI Pro make sure to click subscribe and click

the bell so you're notified whenever I go live to answer your Power BI questions.

Now whenever I think of control charts I think

of bowling. Now, I grew up in India playing cricket so bowling had a totally different

meaning there so here in the bowling lanes I'm actually not that good so all I tried

to do is I try to mark that central line and I try to bowl right down the middle now of

course I do have the gutters on both sides and let's call them the control lines or controlled

limits shall we. So I have them on both sides and I'm trying to bowl as close to the central

line as I can and try to stay within those control lines the upper and lower control

lines and that really is control chart. Not if you were to plot out where I end up bowling

over time over the different frames I am all over the map. So, this as a process is not

in control it's not stable is very variable and if you would look at a controlled process

a stable process that would be a very tightly all the observations would be tightly around

the central line so that's what that would be a process in control now so how do we go

about creating these the center line and the control line what the central line is calculated

as an average so we take an average of a prior period and say Hey that is the the the process

location and that's the kind of the center line for us and then the upper and lower control

lines are determined using sigma or the standard deviation so the upper control line and lower

control line are typically plus minus three sigma although they don't have to they can

be tighter plus minus two sigma plus minus one sigma would be a much tighter indicating

that the process is is very finely tuned and you can stay within a very narrow range but

typically plus minus three sigma is the default so lets go into Power BI and check it out.

So here we are in Power BI and the process to be a focus on right now is shipment from

a warehouses and the measure that we have selected to build a control chart around. Is days to ship. Now we could have chosen

any different measure we could have chosen I don't know how many defective boxes like

count of defective boxes per one thousand shipment or we could have chosen how many

how many specific orders we ship late how many of them will meet shipments. It all depends

on what your goal is with the process which aspect of the process you're trying to prove

in this case it is days to ship so this is the average days to ship by the month year

now and you can see it varies this goes up and down as time progresses. Now we want to

build a control line here based on the prior year's numbers and for that I do have a formula

defined and if you look at the formula it is simply takes the same measure that we are

plotting right here average to ship and says yep give that to me but give that to me for

the last full year and that is accomplished by using the parallel period function. So

you can see here I'm showing a kind of the average days to ship for 2016 is this and

the central line we're just using the average days to ship from the prior year as kind of

a a key indicator that hey this is what we're aiming for so let's plot that on here so that

we have a central line. Now for the upper and lower control limit the first thing we

need to calculate is the standard deviation. Now I already have standard deviation here

and I want to show that you really quick so just like we have the average days to ship

which goes up and down we have, let me bring

in the standard deviation here so you can see standard deviation it goes up and down

as time goes on but we need we need a static value a straight line based on the full prior

years to the same way we had calculated status center line were gonna add the standard

deviation control line if it's gonna let me do it.

There we go! Right and the formula is almost

exactly the same as what we have for the control line so give me standard deviation but give

it to me for the entire last year that's what parallel period does. Now that we have the

standard deviation the upper and lower control limits are simple the upper control to make

is going to be actually so it's going to be at the center line plus three sigma, sigma

being the stand deviation and the lower control limit is similarly going to be.

A central line minus three sigma. I messed

up but you you get the idea. So now let's put this on the scrap this was just too damn

pretty one so I'm gonna delete that and I'm gonna add the upper control limit and the

lower control limit so there you have it now in our case in in case of adventure works

they are actually operating really well so you can see that the process is well within

the plus minus three sigma so maybe what we can do is is set the bar higher and you can

set the bar higher by putting these control lines closer together by making them plus

minus one sigma's instead of three over here I'm just gonna change that to you know plus

minus one sigma of that is I change the lower control limit and I'm gonna change the upper

control limit.

And now I have a much tighter much higher bar to meet I have to stay within these bowling

lanes remember. Now here is where things get magical not if you have checked out my Power

BI tutorial or your inside my Power BI course you've heard me talk about it that dax measures

are magical they have the magic of define once used everywhere and by the way you can

find a link to do to do the tutorial either the cards are down in the description. So

what are we talking about well let's bring on the slicers my friend so here we do find

the the control limits we define the the upper lower control limits and central line but

with those measures them being dax measures you can slice and dice and change them any

which way you want and it's going to all gonna update automatically. So this is for our overall

data but here we have orders ship by country and all I have to do is click on United States

and as a filter just do that click on Australia and it shows me just the you know soon automatically

calculates based on the center line to be the ability standard deviation just forestry

that said this is the control chart just for Australia how the process has been performing

in Australia and similarly I can go to Canada United Kingdom France I was actually looks

good Germany to maybe Canada United Kingdom seems to be some trouble there and of course

again the magic of DAX define once used everywhere you can slice and dice it any which way you

want including categories so I can say in UK show me bikes show me mountain bikes or

road bikes and I can see exactly how that process is working for my selection. Another

thing that I like to do using control charts is show them as small multiples which just

means showing the same graph repeated so here you can see United States Canada United Kingdom

Australia their all kind of shown here and if you can fit you can show other countries

as well and you can see just by a glance that how controlled the process are so first of

all the first thing I would look at is how wide these lines are the wider they are the

less stable are in control the process. Speaker 0:

Is so you can see the United Kingdom lines are pretty tight so that means coming in so

do you remember these lines are based on last year at least in our model so we came in with

a very tight and stable process in Canada was was tight as what United States an Austrian

not so much but of course as you can see with the points outside the control limits here

that pretty much every territorial struggles again give you a very nice easy picture with

very little effort. Now you can take things further with Power BI control charts you can

define the center line based on perhaps the prior month so you can look at an month by

month and use prior month you can define the center line based on a rolling period maybe

at thirty sixty ninety did one period or out three or six months rolling period and besides

that you can highlight the out of control observations to imagine the ones that are

outside the control limits these ones an example or maybe highlighted in red or something like

that you could do that and you can also build the moving range chart which often accompanies

the control chart. If you would like to learn how to create dax measures and build Power

BI a models like the one I showed then check out my Power BI tutorial it's in the cards

and link in the description and if you get stuck and have any questions join me on my

live talk Power BI show on Fridays. Until next time, power on my friend.

Hey keep watching more videos and keep learning

Power BI but if you did enjoy this video I would love to hear from you so leave a comment

Look Before You Leap Into Robotics - Duration: 3:28.

Why should firms seriously consider RPA?

There are lots of reasons to consider RPA. I think it's really important

that firms take good stock of what is driving their decision.

It could be cost savings. It could be value add. It could be improving the employee experience.

It could be risk management. It's important to really think about what are your

objectives for it. Because some of them don't necessarily tie with one another,

and you really need to understand what exactly it is you think you're going to

gain from automating processes this way.

What are your reservations about RPA, if any?

I don't think I have any reservations about RPA. It's more about the process of deciding which

processes you think are suitable for automation.

I think, making sure that you really have a good understanding of your pain points, and the aspects,

and activities in each of your processes allows you to really better understand

which use cases are appropriate candidates for RPA.

What are the ripple effects upon staff if their firm does embrace robotics?

I think, considering the impact on people is important for every change that you're going to make.

In my experience, including the subject matter experts, the real operators in your team

in the process automation is key.

If people feel like they're engaged, they're included, they have some ownership about the direction

that the automation is going to take, change management is far less of a

problem than it might be otherwise if it's an edict that is delivered from the top.

(Eugene) I just was overseeing a panel and I asked everyone in the group if

they were worried that robotics might take their job and I get a huge laugh, so it's a big concern.

Yeah, I think so.

One thing that I think is really important for people to consider is,

when they're thinking about the people play element, certainly you might have a team of,

say 10 people, and robotics might allow you to redeploy or not need half of them.

But the big compelling argument is that all of those people can redeploy

to more value-add tasks, and I think the challenge and something interesting for

us to watch over the coming months and years as people get comfortable and start

to employ robotic process automation, is whether or not those cost savings are realized.

Because, you might automate a process and achieve great scale and less errors,

which certainly reduces cost, but as people are deployed to more value-add activities,

more value add equals more expertise, which means more expensive people if they're providing more value.

I think that, I'm not convinced yet that, that cost argument is really going to be a

real driver in the long term.

If God Exists Why Do Bad Things Happen? - The #WednesdayWisdom Show - Duration: 11:49.

If God exists, then why do bad things happen? There is an answer to that and we're going

to look at it because you need to know.

This is basically the same question as why do bad things happen to good people or if God

is good, then why does He allow bad things to happen? Let me ask you this. How do you

know there are bad things happening? Because of how it affects you? Because of how you?

feel that it affects you when you look at what's going on in the world?

It's impossible to actually answer this question unless you have an adequate definition of

what you are, of what God is, and of what the purpose of life for humans actually is.

Without this, we can't really get that answer, because we have to look at this question from

a much higher, more inclusive place. That means that you have to change yourself so

that you can understand and feel why God, the Upper Force, is acting the way that it

does.

Our normal assumption is that you're a person in the world, and good and bad things happen

to you because God is either acting kindly towards us or in an evil way towards us, that

He would hurt us or He would help us. This whole idea is an unconscious one and it's

based on our definition of ourselves. Not that we know what we are, but that we assume

that God is like us. This means that we're concerned about ourselves, we're concerned

about the boundaries of what we are... the integrity of our body, care for our family,

protecting the things that we have, how things concern us and we change our minds one way

or the other because we have an experience of self, of limitation here in this world

that we protect. It.s a natural impulse.

God is not like that. God is actually the opposite of that. God is the general law of

nature. It is not a person, obviously, it is a force, and this force is a desire. Forces

are desires. Intentions are what directs desire. So there is a single intention behind all

of creation that is at the core of what God is to us. That intention is the blueprint

of every event that happens in the world and to us, that ever can happen. Everything that

happens does so only for this reason, regardless of how it appears to us, and that is to create

a creature and to bring that creature, to evolve that creature, into absolute, complete

fulfillment. The definition of fulfillment is that the creature will reach a place where

it sees and feels and has a similar intention, exact intention, as what the Creator has.

That intention is absolute, unchanging altruism always giving, always thinking and working

only outwardly because there's no such thing as self there. Why? Because self is a property

only of the creature, so what are you? You are the opposite quality to what God is. You

are the will to receive. That is, your structure is made completely of a kind of an egoistic

self-interest, and that determines your perception of reality. Everything you see only goes through

that program because the intention inside of the person is: how does this affect me?

What do I get out of this? How do I protect myself and my personal interests?

This is a hard-core thing. We're wired that way. We actually can't change the fact that

that's the way in which we're structured. There's nothing wrong with it. What God wants

to do with us through the events that happen to us is to have us evolve, and this is the

real basis of evolution. It's not survival of the fittest. It is the evolution of our

emotion and thought, that is, our desire and our intention... to evolve and become to become

just like the desire and intention of the Creator. That means that somehow we rise above

this limitation and feel what It feels, know what It knows... God.

That means that we have to change ourselves. Every event that happens to us is evolving

that set of things in us in order for us to change and feel how the events are good. Bad

events are actually good. They,re all done by the Creator, both good and bad events.

They always have been, because the Creator... the force of nature, that single law that

runs everything... is everything, and It only acts for one reason.

Everything that we think of as bad is there only to give us the opportunity to ask to

rise above the present limitations we have to a level at which we understand how that

is good, why it was given to us in light of the ultimate goal of our lives which is a

spiritual goal. I told you that you have to have a much broader view of this. When we

look at the animal world or at the plant world, we can look at things that seem good and especially

bad and understand how the bad things are good, like a forest fire, or so on, which

is bad for the trees but is ultimately good for the forest... the strength of the forest,

more diverse growth, all of those things. Why do we see that? Because we're above that

level. The human level has evolved above the vegetative level.

Our point of view is completely immersed in what we call the human level, so we can't

see the forces that are operating on us. So we account bad things strictly as bad. We

make this division according to our program which is the will to receive. Every time that

we actually respond correctly to this and we learn how to transform our will to receive

and our intention to receive for ourselves to the intention to bestow, as the Creator

does, this suffering stops. It goes away in us because we're no longer embedded in that

level. We've actually moved to the level that God is intending to evolve us to, and we see

the good there, and we experience the good there.

Again, it's not enough to say: I believe that God is good. That's not what nature is trying

to do with us. It is evolving us to a different perception of reality. It is evolving us out

of suffering. It is evolving us towards complete fulfillment, but given our starting point,

our nature which is in a dark point in the lowest world that exists. It is doing us a

tremendous favor by shattering those shells, allowing us to escape that level and move

to another and another and another. This is the process we're actually involved

in.

So no event that happens to us is ever a bad event, as long as we understand what our purpose

is. Our purpose is to fulfill the purpose of the law of nature. Any time that we're

different from the law of nature, we see what we call bad events. It's a mechanism that

works with us and how we respond to it immediately. Everything that happens to us happens in response

to whether we are aligned with that law or not, whether we consciously feel that we want

to grow or not.

Sometimes it will push us so that we'll come to a place where we feel that we can't stay

in the limited perception that we have. We have to grow. Is that a bad act? No, it's

the loving act of what you can say of a Father. It's getting us to evolve past the place where

we're stuck. That happens to us all the time, but it's better to know that it's happening

for a good purpose because this mechanism is the most loving, compassionate, beautiful

thing that exists. It is all that exists and we're either aligned with it or not. The degree

to which we' re not aligned with it, it immediately invokes

in the mechanism something that will help us move along the path of our evolution.

So we need not to know intellectually that all events are good. We need to feel that

that is so. That is, our perception of reality has to change, and it is changing, and it

is being pushed according to the design of nature. We have to take upon ourselves the

conscious agreement to evolve, because the ultimate place that it's trying to take us

is one of complete involvement. It's complete responsibility on our part and complete pleasure,

because it's the nature of the Creator in everything that we feel as good for us is

actually the essential nature of the Creator... the nature of the will to bestow.

That's where we're being evolved, so you have to learn how to change yourself. If you want
