Waching daily Jan 1 2019

okay okay um okay so uh sorry I'm like I'm filming this on my iPhone and so I

don't have a mount for you guys like I might ring like go and I'm like angling

like the camera like back in there cuz it's my iPhone it's um so you guys might

recognize like my outfit this backdrop I like it like we get cooled off in here

cuz I was getting so hot in this like this is like it's cute but it's really

warm uh yeah so I just got done filming my what I got for Christmas haul making

them all look you you guys should go watch that if you haven't after this

video I'm just putting the tree back all nice but I wanted to do kind of like a

life update for 2019 and I had that in my plan is the assumption that I would

know enough to talk about 2019 but right now like I don't have a whole lot like

I'm in a transitioning period and I have to like get cleared and go through

training to see what my next move is I don't even know like based on this job

how much like I'm gonna ever be able to share with you so because this job is

not finalized I'm not gonna talk about because I have like two contracts going

on and I'm trying to see like you know is this if I take on this contract is

you're gonna be conflict with this contract and I know I'm sounding like an

actor but that's like the best way to put it and so let's just not talk about

that I kind of just want to share what I can so maybe you guys it kind of depends

on like how long you followed me or if you guys follow me on other social

platforms but you know I'm kind of vague and I think sometimes it's just because

I'm angry and upset with certain parts that happened but I'm not ready to talk

about it or it's not a good move to talk about it and when it is believe me I'm

gonna talk about like in full like this I'm a story time or like I'm a story

telling youtuber it's gonna happen but right now I just I can't talk about it I

think I'm gonna try to give you guys like the abridged version I worked for a

company I stayed there way longer than I shed there is like a lot of red flags

kind of going on the people that I worked with were great but upper

management I just I noticed something was up and then I like

captaining throughout my time there of them making fun of me for like my

personality or you know every little thing I did was like nitpick like it was

nothing to do with the business I think the best way to go about this is just to

explain what a typical day was there I'd go to work and I would be talked about

by upper management so either like I was laughed at for trying too hard I got

that I heard that that one I was laughed at because people assumed that I was

throwing myself at this guy and I was just like a little immature girl with a

big crush all this stuff so that was great people died did take work

seriously which if you looked at my work like it even showed like I was like out

of my fellow co-workers I went to the bathroom in the least amount of time

like I really just I came to work to do that job i sat in that chair and I did

the best that I could and I know I did the best because I was able to be

trained on all platforms of communication and capable at my job I

was told I handled feedback really well like all this stuff is in the notes but

if upper management is laughing at you and they don't think you're serious then

they're not going to promote you they're not also going to give you a reference

to move to another department because it just brings pleasure to mean little

middle school girls to oppress somebody they like that you know that's that's

what they live for like even though like I did work hard my morale you know was

just going down and down and down so for me to like hear any type of feedback

like that I wasn't taking things seriously to me it's like you treated me

so mean I wasn't going to be happy being there also they got rid of their HR

department you people think I'm joking when I say that they did they got rid of

their HR department so the people were supposed to handle it

upper management my department they don't take me seriously like what and so

crazy and then also like anybody who had the same job title as me and Dallas they

were getting paid here I was getting paid here and I knew some co-workers

that got paid here like you can't even see like I'm an off-camera off-screen

like it didn't seem right especially because as a customer service agent

you're there for support well we were also trained in closet design and sales

so there was a lot more responsibilities to this job for me to like again like be

paid here like mixing all of that together I was so so over it like know

like I'm someone where I can flourish if like I'm in a really great environment

so I think you know that's why I'm really choosy with my friends I love

living with my mom because my home base is being nurtured and I really wanted

that for my job I did find it somewhat and my co-workers but again like they

were all oppressed like they were talked about to like people made fun of them

but they always had their favorites like people to be mean to and that was me

so I just that wasn't fair so you better believe like when everything like went

down it was like castle walls crumbling I guess that's always for another

lengthy video it's just hard because when you experience a crumbling

foundation you always have that debris on you

so being someone who's trying to navigate my way through I feel like I

kind of have now like a little bit like of a like a red mark on my resume and

it's just I don't they're mean like I don't trust them to not you know to wipe

away all the great things that I did and the hard work that I put in means

nothing because it's just sometimes when you're really unhappy it's fun to

be mean I know I get it because I was a middle schooler once but I'm not a

middle schooler I'm a woman who cares about our education and cares a lot

about hard work then when you don't have a job sometimes you end up thinking too

much and it kind of brings in like social once these social anxiety is kind

of weird but like maybe more like insecurities because you find yourself

home alone a whole lot and I'm a homebody so I can handle a good amount

but you're you think too much and then like even though I went away

from that company I could tell like I was still a topic of conversation with

few people and it made me more insecure and I kind of just brushed it off and

acted like who you like I don't care if it but to a certain degree I care like I

do care and so it's just this isn't supposed to be a sad 20 19 update but I

really just wanted to be as honest as I could right now and just tell you to be

patient and hold off you'll hear more details but that's kind of what happened

so for 2019 now I'm so positive because I am having a blast with my youtube like

I love it I love engaging with you guys and I'm always thinking of bigger

projects to do and all this and that so I am super excited all I ask right now

is just continue to be patient with me there's going to be so many more fun

things to come I promise you so I'm sorry that this might have been sad of

an update but I figured it's better to be honest when I can because you guys

are always so nice to me and I and I really appreciate it I think you guys

made me have like a good home base you know so um okay um I got to go back to

doing my thing so I love you guys and yeah I mean it guys like my out jar like

I love you mean it like that's say all the time so okay bye guys

5 Tips to Deal with the Loss of a Beloved Pet - Duration: 4:52.

hi there Laura Kelly here spiritual grief coach I'm really glad to be here

with you today today I wanted to come on and talk about how to cope with the loss

of a pet you know as you know our fur babies are just as much a part of the

family as our other family members and when we go through a loss of a pet

it is absolutely devastating so research actually shows that going through the

loss of a pet is actually equivalent to going through the loss of a family

member and you know so today I really wanted to bring to you five tips to help

you cope through the loss of your animal

so tip number one is set aside time to grieve and really feel all feelings feel

the emotions really let them out to take that time I know it's difficult to find

time in your schedule because we're all so busy but we do really need to feel

them we need to let it out you know really let anything that's coming up

come out of you really feel into it tip number two is reflect upon the life that

you shared with your animal go back and think of all the memories how they

impacted your life how they were there for you no matter what you know our

animals really are there for us during good times bad times sad times and they

really love us unconditionally so really reflecting upon that you might want to

even write your animal a letter it's really soothing doing something like

that as well as storytelling you know sharing stories with your friends and

family about your animal it's really really beautiful to be able to share our

stories because our stories are very healing this allows our our body to

really experience gratitude for the time that we shared for our animal tip number

three is continue to meet your basic needs so make sure you're fueling your

body with the nutritious foods to help you move through the healing journey you

know we tend to lose our appetite and also we tend to have a hard time with

our sleeping and you know our sleep patterns might be put off a little bit

so really taking time to rest and take care of you because our immune system is

always down we go through loss tip number four is you know practice a

calming calming practice daily this could be meditation or breath work these

two practices are so beneficial because we tend to experience anxiety when we go

through the loss of a pet and when we do so it's really hard to you know cope and

move through on our daily routines so when we can take some time out

in the morning or in the evening and really take those big deep breaths in

filling the diaphragm and then releasing and really getting into you know a

meditative state it'll help really soothe your mind from

all the thoughts that you're thinking about thinking about all the thoughts

that you know your loved your animals no longer with you and so so that'll be

really beneficial for you tip number five is Memorial lives of the memory and

love that you shared with your pet so what you could do here is you could

actually you know if you cremated your animal you could actually get like a

little little boxer a memory box and you can put your your your pets ashes in

there and then maybe have like a little paw print of theirs on the front of the

box and you could decorate it with their collar or their their tags whatever you

feel like would be nice on that box and what you can do is you can place that on

your mantel with a little picture of them beside them and that way it's a

beautiful way of honoring you know the impact your pet had on your life and

it's a beautiful way to you know really remember them so I really hope that

these tips have helped you I know that they've helped me in the past I've gone

through you know many losses of fur babies and it's not easy it really is

difficult I have two fur babies right now and I couldn't even imagine my life

without them they are like our kids so my husband and I love our fur babies so

much so just know that my heart is with you everything's gonna be okay you're

going to get through this if you would like more support or have any questions

please post in the comments below and I will make sure to get back to you have a

beautiful day

How to get the VP9 Codec on your Video! ■ UPDATED ■ Upscaling to 1440p (2k) - Duration: 8:30.

Hello and welcome to the updated Tutorial on how to get the VP9 codec on your Youtube Video

This is the old Video I did, the old Tutorial and this doesn't work anymore.

The old method of getting the VP9 Codec was to do something in the enhancements-tab of your Video.

If you did that then you would get the VP9 Codec on your video.

But that doesn't work anymore.

The two other methods are either:

1. Getting a lot of Views and Traffic.

Then you will get the VP9 Codec automatically.

Or 2. uploading in 1440p (2k) or higher (like 4k).

These are the only methods of getting the VP9 Codec.

So you can check if you have the VP9 Codec simply by Right-Clicking on a Video

and clicking on "statistics for nerds".

And then you will see the "Codecs" and mine is actually VP9 on this Video but

I have examples on which there is not VP9.

For example this Video doesnt have VP9, its codec is AVC.

And that is an objectively worse codec over VP9.

It does not matter on which Resolution you set you Video, it will be worse than VP9.

So the simplest thing would be to simple make 1440p (2k) Videos from now on.

If you can do it, do it.

If you cant, then this Tutorial is for you.

I will put Timestamps in the Videodescription and you can follow along the timestamps

if you want to skip, how I got to this conclusion and if you just want the Tutorial.

The Process

So what I did was:

I had a 1080p Video and I rendered it in different Resolutions.

The Resolutions I chose were: 1080p, 1440p, 1260p, 1200p, 1320p 1422p

And I rendered them.

I compared the render-times, the Handbrake times (because I use Handbrake to compress the videos).

And then I measured the Bitrate, the File Size and I uploaded them all to Youtube to

see which one of them would get VP9.

And the interesting thing is that I've waited all the time that I needed to render and upload these Videos.

And I put so much effort in creating this table that you can see right here

which is a weird mess of German and English and Handwritten

which was completely worthless because 1422p which is ALMOST 1440p

got rounded down to 1080p and not rounded up to 1440p.

So unless you have at least 2560x1440p it does not count as 1440p and it won't get VP9.

So this whole table is completely useless, we can just concentrate now on 1080p vs 1440p.

The tutorial

So if you wanna upscale your Video from 1080p

or 720p to 1440p (2k) and then upload it to Youtube without having bigger Files,

which is important if your connection cant handle bigger files, my connection cant handle bigger files,

that's why I did it.

You have to render the Video in your Video-editing-software at exactly the same settings, THE SAME BITRATE,

same Quality Settings, except: The Resolution has to be 2560x1440 Pixels.

Either that or more, but it cant be less.

And to keep the same Filesize you have to have the exact same Settings AND BITRATE.

And a quick note: If you use Handbrake, like me, then you will have to upscale the video

before you render it in Handbrake, because Handbrake cannot upscale, only downscale.

So keep that in mind if you use Handbrake.

Testing

And to test if the Quality would degrade

I tested this with my own workflow, which is: rendering Uncompressed in my editing software

and then compressing in Handbrake So in Handbrake there are 2 methods of choosing

what Quality and bitrate your Video will have: The Constant Quality Setting and the Average Bitrate Setting.

And I used the Constant Quality Setting.

I tried 2 things: the first thing I tried was I kept the exact

same settings that my 1080p Videos have for my 2k Video.

And this produced a much larger file and that is not what I wanted because my connection

cant handle bigger files, I need them the same size.

I tested around with different Quality Settings until I got the closest to the 1080p filesize:

while my 1080p preset was Quality 19, the closest to that for 1440p was Quality 21.

This produced almost the same Bitrate and almost the same file size, it was slightly

lower, so slightly worse quality, but it was by a tiny fraction, by like 2% or something.

So it was negligible.

And then I tested if the Quality would change, so I tested if the 1080p Video and the 2k

Video with the Quality 19 and the 2k Video with the Quality 21 would have the same or

pretty close results on Youtube and locally.

And you can see the tests now.

As you can see the 1080p doesnt have the VP9 codec and it looks pretty bad.

You can see in the lower right corner the arm.

Its very undetailed, the foliage is undetailed, everything in here is very undetailed and blurry.

And the Text is the worst.

So lets see the 1440p Quality 19 Video.

You can clearly see the Text is way better.

And the lower right corner is actually worse, I dont know why.

It's weird because some places are worse, some are way better.

The foliage looks better in my opinion.

And with worse settings, aka Quality Setting 21, it looks better.

I dont know why but with lower bitrate it actually looks better in this example.

But you can see the VP9 Codec is clearly better.

And to top that off, You have 1440p Resolution available.

And if you compare 1080p avc to 1440p VP9 upscaled, there is just such a big difference.

Just looks at this wall texture.

This wall texture suffers so much from 1080p and VP9.

It is so weird that this is not native 2k it is just the same 1080p Video upscaled before uploading but it just looks WAY better.

So to conclude if you want to have the VP9 codec and much higher Quality on Youtube

and even 2k technically, eventhough the Video was initially 1080p or even 720p.

I didnt try this with a 720p Video but I can imagine, it is pretty similar (just another Handbrake setting).

You just have to edit the Video in 1080p normally and then render in 1440p (2k)

and if you use Handbrake, just keep in mind that Handbrake cannot upscale, you have to do it beforehand.

And if you keep the same settings and bitrate the filesize will be the same

but it will still have higher quality on youtube.

And I will do that from now on.

So yeah, thanks for watching, if you havent seen my old Video, you can go and watch that,

there was a big discussion on how we can still get VP9 on our Videos.

And I hope you all will only get VP9 from now on.

I will put all these Videos and the Playlist in the description, so you can watch and compare for yourself.

And yeah that's it, bye guys.
