Thank you for your question. You've submitted a single photo and you're
19-years-old and you're concerned about the appearance of your left eye. You describe
multiple folds and the appearance and you want to know if there is a non-surgical solution.
Well, in the absence of a full exam, I would just say that I can certainly give you some
guidance on what my impressions are based on this single photo. A little bit of background,
I'm a Board-certified cosmetic surgeon and Fellowship-trained oculofacial plastic and
reconstructive surgeon. I've been in practice in Manhattan and Long Island for over 20 years
and my initial impression by looking at this photo is that you have a condition called
ptosis. Now ptosis specifically relates to the eyelid and is often referred to as eyelid
ptosis. And in the greater likelihood that you've always had this appearance, it would
be most likely something called congenital ptosis. Now if it is newly acquired or acquired
ptosis, well then I would certainly advise you to very quickly seek a physician for examination
because that is unusual for somebody your age to suddenly have ptosis. But assuming
that it is something that you've always had and may have gotten a little bit worse,
I'll explain to you about what congenital ptosis is and what the solutions are.
To begin with, ptosis means droop and that eyelid drooping is due to a maldevelopment
or lack of proper development of a muscle called the levator muscle. Levator like the
word elevator is the muscle that lifts the eyelid. Now this muscle, when it doesn't
develop properly, it doesn't work as well as a normal muscle. And what does a normal
muscle do? It contracts and it relaxes so therefore this muscle will neither contract
strongly as a normal muscle nor will it relax as a normal muscle. Now when I do a ptosis
evaluation, it is a fairly involved examination. It's basically taking measurements of the
height of the eyelid, the amount of movement of the eyelid and other ophthalmologic indications
of the degree of eye function and just to get a basic understanding as to how significant
the ptosis is relative to how much it blocks your vision as well as to the degree of the
action.
Now you ask if there is a non-surgical solution and I would say simply that there isn't.
In the past, in the distant past, people used to try wearing glasses and have something
that is called eyelid crutch so that the eyelid will be pushed up with the glasses. Those
tend to not to work very well. That's the only non-surgical solution that isn't even
worth mentioning. There are situations where sometimes an eye drop for the purpose of pictures
can cause contraction of another muscle in the eyelid called the Mueller's muscle so
that the eyelid elevates slightly. That might be good for taking photos but in terms of
the more definitive solution, you are talking about a certain kind of surgery.
Now typically surgery for a muscle which has reasonable function is a procedure called
levator resection which is the muscle being shortened so that the eyelid is elevated and
then the alternative if the eyelid muscle doesn't work very well at all and the eyelid
is very droopy, there is a procedure called frontalis sling. And typically people understand
this because when the eyelid is drooping, they tend to raise their eyebrows to try to
keep their eye open. Well that surgery and that muscle that raises the eyebrows is called
the frontalis muscle. So what we do surgically is we attach the muscle, the frontalis muscle
to the eyelid using a variety of different materials, everything from your own fascia
which is from your leg to banked fascia as well as other alternatives such as silicone
and GoreTex™.
Now these are all determined based on evaluation consultation. So I would suggest that you
meet with an oculoplastic surgeon and learn about your options. I would also encourage
you to actually see an ophthalmologist. Get a proper eye exam and determine if there are
any other visual issues that can also be managed. Sometimes people, when they have congenital
ptosis, if it blocks their vision for an extended period of time when they are very young between
0 and 6, they can actually have had a condition called amblyopia where the eve vision doesn't
fully develop. So it is important that at least a proper eye exam will be done before
you undergo any eyelid surgery and then you can actually have more comprehensive understanding
of the eye health as well as the options for correction of the eyelid drooping.
So I am sorry that there isn't a non-surgical option but I think that it's important that
you understand the condition as well as what you should do to pursue the information you
need to make an informed decision. So again meet with an ophthalmologist, an eye doctor,
an MD who can evaluate your vision, evaluate your eye health and then an oculoplastic surgeon
who's an ophthalmologist, who specializes in additional training in plastic surgery
in the eyes and face.
So I hope that was helpful, I wish you the best of luck and thank you for your question.

Trump says Washington can't allow N. Korea to have better nuclear weapons delivery system - Duration: 2:14.
The North Korea issue was center stage in an interview U.S. President Donald Trump gave
over the weekend to CBS.
He's apparently determined to work with China to rein in the North Korean regime.
Connie Kim tells us more.
U.S. President Donald Trump's strategic ambiguity regarding North Korea was highlighted during
an exclusive interview with CBS marking his 100th day in the White House.
"We shouldn't be announcing all our moves.
It is a chess game.
I just don't want people to know what my thinking is.
So eventually, he will have a better delivery system.
And if that happens, we can't allow it to happen."
From the start of the Trump administration, the U.S. President dealt with the North Korea
issue as one of the most pressing foreign policy agendas to solve bringing up the card
of "all options" in dealing with Pyongyang.
But issuing a statement on the regime last week, Washington toned down its voice saying
the doors remain open for talks with the North.
In efforts to maximize pressure on Pyongyang, Trump chose to work with China as Beijing
exerts significant influence over the regime.
And by doing so,.. Trump has shown that he is willing to give in to China in trade in
exchange for helping Washington solve the North Korea factor.
"I think that, frankly, North Korea is maybe more important than trade.
Trade is very important.
But massive warfare with millions, potentially millions of people being killed?
That, as we would say, trumps trade."
Following the much anticipated summit between Trump and Xi as well as their subsequent phone
conversations, the two seem to see eye to eye about refraining Pyongyang from launching
a provocation.
"I would not be happy.
If he does a nuclear test, I will not be happy.
And I can tell you also, I don't believe that the president of China, who is a very respected
man, will be happy either."
And seemingly corroborating Trump's statements, the South China Morning Post reported Beijing
would consider an oil embargo for at least six months if Pyongyang pushes the button
on another nuclear test,... while China's ultra-nationalist Global Times reported Beijing
would have little choice but to support harsher sanctions if the regime pushes ahead with
its nuclear ambitions.

Knee Strengthening Exercises - Ask Doctor Jo - Duration: 9:52.
Hey everybody, it's Doctor Jo, and today
I'm going to show you some knee
strengthening exercises. Let's get started.
So I'm going to start off with some pretty
simple exercises, and then we will
progressively get to a little bit harder
exercises. So we're going to start off in
the chair first, and just a simple kick
out with your leg is going to work those
quad muscles for your knee. And those
quads are connected to the knee cap,
which is really important to help all
that strengthening there. So make sure
you're sitting comfortably in the chair,
make sure that your back is supported so
you don't have to worry about your
posture, sitting nice and upright and
just really slowly kick out and try and
straighten out that leg as much as you
can. Pulling up your toes helps kind of
lock everything out when you come up and
then slowly come back down, so it's a
really controlled movement. You're not
just dropping your leg back down. So even
if you don't have any weights, if you go
nice and slow, squeeze at the end, you
really get a good workout in those quad
muscles. If you can do 20 or 25 pretty
easily, then you can add some ankle
weights if you have just something like
a 2-3 pound that works great, and so it
would be the same kind of thing, nice
slow controlled movement. At the end
squeezing, making sure that muscle
tightens, and then slowly come back down.
So once you have the weight on there,
make sure you're not just dropping it
down because that might cause some
injury, really control that movement both
up and down. So start off with just about
10, do a couple sets of 10, and then if
that's pretty easy, the next day then
start working your way up from there.
Then the next one is going to be for
your hip, but it's still working the knee
because they're all connected, so this
time just coming up this movement. So
those hip flexors that are all
kind of connected into the thigh and the
knee, and again that
slow controlled motion up and down. If
that gets pretty easy, again you can add
on that ankle weight and control up and
slowly back down. So even if you want to
do a count of three: one, two, three for
that control, one, two, three. That makes it
a little bit harder so you don't have to
do 20 or 30 before you get tired. If you
go really slow, that's going to really
work those muscles to help get you
stronger. The next exercise is going to
be a simple sit to stand progression. So
to start off with, it's going to be just
like it sounds. You're going to go from
sit to stand, but working on the muscles
instead of using momentum to get up. So
the best way to do that is put your feet
about shoulder width apart. You want them
to stay flat. A lot of times when people
go up and down they try to get on the
balls of their feet, but you want to keep
weight equal in the front and the back
in the heels, so when you come up you
want to lean your upper body forward to
get the weight shifted to the front. So
it's going to be coming up this way, and
then nice and controlled come back down,
but when you come back down to the
sitting, try and keep those knees behind
your toes as well. Sometimes people when
they do a squat try and come down like
this. So when you use the chair, it really
helps you to have a target. So just nice
and slow controlling it, try not to plop
down. Sometimes if you don't have a lot
of strength in the knees and the legs
and the hips, you kind of end up plopping
down, but really try and control that
coming back down getting that nice
smooth motion. If this is pretty easy
coming up and down, then try it without
actually sitting all the way down. So
your bottom is just going to tap the
chair now, but it's still going to be
there, so if you feel like you can't get
all the way back up, you can just sit
back down in the chair. So this time you
come up,
tap down, and then back up. So again still
keep your upper body fairly straight,
you're moving at your hips, you're
pushing your hips back. Like for the
women know, if you're squatting over the
toilet, men might not understand that, but
you really have to get that booty back,
and come back up. But my knees are
staying behind my toes, so it's not this.
It's coming back like that. So once that
becomes easy, then you can do the squats
without touching the chair at all. So
you're just coming down and back up
doing the squats, but I recommend keeping
the chair there just in case you get
tired and you need to sit down, that it's
there just in case, but keeping that good
form, knees behind the toes, back straight,
sticking the butt back, and then coming
down now. If the chair's too low, you can
also add a little box or something to
make it so you don't have to go down as
far. So then you're only squatting to
about here, and then you're tapping
whatever is in the chair so you can do
it building it up and taking it down
lower. If all of those are easy, then you
can go to squatting with one foot. I
suggest with that, if you're going to do
a one leg squat, have a countertop or put
the chair in front of you. So this time
you would want it in front of you
because a lot of times if people are
going to go, they're going to go forward
with the one leg squat versus backwards.
So just on one foot start off slow with
just a little squat there so you don't
have to go super far, but if you feel
like you're going to fall, you've got
something to hold on to, and you can even
start holding on still trying to keep
that knee pretty much behind the toe, and
coming up, and then you can go without
holding on.
The next one's going to be a step-up. For
step-ups, the best thing to do is
actually on a step where there's rails,
so you have something to hold on to for
balance if you need to. You can use just
a step if you've got a box of solid box
of something, some boards to make it
different heights, you can do that
because you might want to start off with
something small just like two inches. So
maybe even if you have a curb somewhere
where you can work on that would be good
too, but just make sure that you're doing
it safely, you have something to hold on
to even if it's a cane or stick or
somebody else, but make sure that if your
balance isn't great, you're using
something to hold on to. With the step up,
same thing, you want it to be controlled.
You don't want to use momentum to do it,
so I like having people start off with
their foot staying on the step the whole
time, but going in that slow controlled
motion where I tell people to count to
three. So you're going to go up one, two,
three, and then down one, two, three. So
it's not just up and down where you're
using momentum, you want to make sure
those muscles are engaging and working
and getting stronger. So again nice and
slow up and slow coming back down. So as
you can see, if you slow it down you're
only going to need to do about ten if
you can get to 20-25 really easily, then
you might want to try a higher step. If
you're having a really hard time, you
feel like you have to jump up on the
step, then make sure you take it back
down to just one or two inches to start
off with. So make sure that it's
something you can do in a controlled
motion, and then go up or down from there.
The last exercise is going to be a lunge. So
for the lunges, having the target is
going to be different for the step ups.
The higher the target is easier, the
smaller the target is going to be a
little bit harder. So if you start off
with the lunges, you might want something
a little higher a box or a little step
in between because you're going to do a
lunge, and if the target is higher you
don't have to go down as far, so you just
want to go
to where your knee kind of touches the
target. So for example, here it's just
tapping on that box, but my upper body
should stay pretty upright and my knee
shouldn't go in front of my toes, so I'm
not doing that lunge motion, I'm going
straight down trying to keep my upper
body fairly straight. So you can see if I
touch the target there, I'm not going all
the way to the floor so if that becomes
easy, all i have to do is take that out
of the way, and then go all the way down
and just tap the floor. But same thing if
the box is too hard then you just keep
building it up and you can start just
from there and have that target to tap
on. So again just starting off with 10
making sure you're going slow and
controlled, switching sides after you do
that, and then working your way up from
there. Whoo! I feel like this guy after all
those exercises. Those were your knee
strengthening exercises. If you'd like to

And remember, be safe, have fun, and I hope
you feel better soon.

Trump says Washington can't allow N. Korea to have better nuclear weapons delivery system - Duration: 2:22.
North Korea issue was the main topic during a recent interview U.S. President Donald Trump
gave to CBS.
Though it's difficult to pinpoint his exact stance, and he often contradicts his earlier
remarks, the real estate giant is apparently determined to work with China to rein in the
out of control regime.
Connie Kim shares with us the outspoken leader's ambiguous comments.

Self Care Vs. Escapism - Duration: 3:51.
So, I'm having a bit of writers block.
I'm out of stories to tell.
Could it be because i don't like, do things?
Or have experiences?
Maybe!
So instead we're gonna go to the park and we're gonna catch some cyndaquils.
Here's the thing.
I still play pokemon go.
Some might say...obsessively?
There are 233 pokemons that are catchable in the region(s) i have been to since it came
out.
I have 230 of them.
Three pokemon left.
Today we're gonna make it two.
You might be saying to yourself Why?
Taylor?
You didn't even play pokemon as a child this isn't like, a nostalgia thing.
And you're right.
I did not.
But I'm an obsessive completionist and I desire to win.
I guess while we're up to this, i wanna talk about escapism.
I have very conflicted feels because a lot of the kinda popular tumblr or buzzfeed style
self care advice that's like hey, it's okay, just shirk all your responsibilities
and stay inside and eat cupcakes and paint your toenails is actually one of the worst
things i can do for myself.
Giving in to my desire to be lazy and not get out of bed and not move my body and not
do work and isolate myself makes me feel more depressed.
And then when i feel more depressed, it's even harder to do the thing the next day.
And so it gets worse and worse and worse.
So I try to resist that escapist kind of form of self care.
I try to just like will myself into doing the things i don't want to do because i
know that doing them will make me feel better.
And then the next day it'll feel a little less smaller of a thing to conquer.
On the other hand, it isn't possible to just stop being burned out or stop being depressed
out of sheer force of will.
It's impossible to go in at 100% all the time, especially when you're an activist.
A very brilliant former colleague of mine Zerlina Maxwell, i'm linking her newsletter
below, wrote about the resistance, and she said It's not a sprint, and it's not even
a marathon.
It's a relay.
Which means sometimes it's your turn to run and sometimes it's your turn to pass
the baton and catch your breath.
I ran for a long ass time.
But the past maybe 5 months, 6 months, I haven't been.
So i've been trying to figure out what level of escapism is okay or what's healthy for
me.
And that's why I've been doing this.
This, being like, moving back to my parents house and working on my brain health, and
pushing myself to do the work it takes to get better.
Mixed with a little bit of escapism.
I'm almost ready for another lap.
So now I'm gonna evolve this typhlosion.
2 pokemon left.
And I'm gonna go home and get to work.
So in comments, tell me how you feel about escapism.
What do you use to escape?
Do you think that's healthy or unhealthy or somewhere in between?

Natural Medicine Can Be Ableist | #SpinaBifida - Duration: 2:19.
(pop)
Most of the problem that I find with the
"Natural Medicine" mindset people have
can also be found in my "Can Veganism Be Ableist" video.
I'll link it so you can check it out.
Being Latinx, I grew up with a lot of natural remedies
to heal ailments.
Got a sore throat? Gargle some salt water.
Feeling mucus build up in your throat?
Take a shot of lemon, garlic and honey.
Before I become allergic to aloe vera,
I used it to sooth my burns.
There are a lot of natural remedies that can help your body.
A lot of them I still use and I'm still looking for new ones everyday.
For example my boyfriend introduced me to
elderberries and the immune system boost that they give.
When I say that natural medicine can be ableist,
I mean the mindset people tend to have
when they subscribe to natural medicine.
I've gone to many natural stores,
and when they notice my limp or
I mention in conversation that I'm disabled.
I'm met with:
"Oh this could cure your disability."
Or I see others in my disabled community
experience people who only use natural medicine,
critique my friends harshly because they use pharmaceutical medicine.
Let me tell you, natural medicine does not cure disability.
Disability once again does not work like that.
Disability isn't a bad thing, and it doesn't necessarily need to be fixed.
And for the people who are angry at the
big pharmaceutical companies, I feel you.
I know first hand how messed up the medical industry is.
They only care about money and not the people who
actually need help.
But trust me, a lot of disabled people have tried natural
ways to manage their pain.
And to manage anything that may come from their disability.
A lot of natural medicine doesn't help us,
and we find that medicine coming from doctors
and pharmaceutical companies do.
Are we happy we're putting chemicals in our bodies?
Not really, but that kind of medicine has been helping us
more than any plant could.
And that's not to say that we haven't found
any natural medicines that have helped with our disability.
But most of the time, it's not enough.
I think natural medicine is great to help heal common things.
And to improve overall health.
But it's ableist to say that it can cure a disability.
And it's ableist to shame a disabled person
who has most likely tried the natural route
for using pharmaceutical meds.
Natural medicine isn't bad.
What's bad is the mindset that it can fix disabled people.
That's all I have for you, if you like this video
and wanna help support me all the links for that
will be in the description below.
bye!

It's A Beautiful Day To Exist
Independence The name of the two feet upon which I stand
And have built me up, Piercing the horizon with the sharp edge of
their confidence.
The ice is thin and quivers like an old rickety gate
But my heels are carved into the ground.
Looking up, the clouds part to reveal the golden fire
That I've been following, unblinking.
I'm hoping to figure out which path ahead is mine.
Everything yet nothing is uncertain.
I haven't accepted that what I want everything to be
Can't be anything but what it is.
My story, My conscience,
My actions
Why I haven't I owned up to the power emanating from my palms like the sun radiating
For the whole universe to sit and watch awestruck ?
The road bends and turns into itself And all that is left is a giant rubber band ball.
My body is tossed into the meandering rivers, veering me off course yet again.
Gasping for breath, cold shivers rack my spine In a strict pattern, always on beat.
Coughs echo in the thick of the ocean.
But the sole thought circling my inner ear Tickling my brain,
Is that It's a beautiful day to be exist
Because in today I am fortunate to struggle And fall tens of times over in tears
Curled up in fetal position on my bed.
I am fortunate to feel this sadness And this pain
Yet endure another day of more.
I want to be real.
I want to feel the deepest of sensations because Only in those moments do I feel the Joie de Vivre.
I can tell myself that I lived Despite the sword hugging my insides
Crying soft red tears onto the grass.
I can shout back to the darkness And ask her to embrace me
Thank her for the pathways she failed to leave For now I can see without the light.
I can speak words And take in deep breaths of refreshing reality
Without choking on the soot
It's a beautiful day to be alive and sad.
Or mad, or bored or empty, or lonely.
Because I can feel and that itself is a gift from god.
To merely exist and see the world shift.
Life is beautiful in its imperfections and never-ending tastes
In the adversity it deals us new flavors, And the uncertainty of our mere existence
is the topper to the melting sundae.
Eat it all up in one big gulp so that you can take in every tiny piece of it because
the whole wouldn't be the same whole otherwise.

Hi everyone, my name is Anusha Ramji.
I am 19 years old.
Throughout the course of my life, I've been given various labels.
Diagnosed at 9, although I probably should have been when I was 5 or 6, I'd like to
say that I've seen a lot in this short time.
These labels aren't definitive of me, nor are they definitive of anyone.
There are so many facets to who I am, and I refused to let my various "illnesses"
or whatever you'd like to call them, define me.
Coming to the point I'm at now, was never easy.
Recovery isn't easy.
But I can tell you for a fact, that it's worth every single moment of pain that you've endured.
Mental illness is not a curse, it's a special ability.
You are special.
And you will survive another day, I promise you that.
Have faith in yourself and your capabilities, because you are so much stronger than you
or anyone around you is aware.
I've been in therapy for a long time, and I've been on medications for a long time.
These are my choices.
And you will make your own choices.
But make sure you choose to help yourself, whether you choose to go for psychotherapy,
or pharmacological therapy.
The world is your oyster, and options are limitless.
Do what makes you feel good and don't let anyone tell you what helps you.
Other peoples' perceptions do not define or equate to your own.
Be your own person and love every bit of who you are.
I don't know if there's a "cure" for struggles in life. But I do know that a. everybody has struggles
b. that it gets better and better, as soon as you believe in that very idea that it does get better
You will learn to cope as you grow older and experience various tastes of life.
Your emotions and experiences are valid, and don't deny them.
Accept them all the good, the bad, the ugly.
Because only then, you will find positivity and feel better.
Take care of yourself, and be kind to yourself.
Take every day as a step in your journey towards fulfilment.
Don't regret anything, because you learn from every single situation you partake in.
It'll only make you stronger.

Natural "Drugs" That Pharmaceutical Companies Can't Replicate - Dr. Patrick Quillin - Duration: 4:35.
Dr. Quillin: Think about this.
What you have is these beautiful, dark cherries, and they're sweet, aren't they?
Ty Bollinger: Delicious.
Dr. Quillin: And what nature is saying is, "Alright.
What I've got is some sugar here, and the fungus living around
us in the trillions wants to eat this."
And so the plant has to create its own protection.
It creates a substance called phytoalexins, and that is,
one of those is resveratrol.
People have heard about it in red grapes.
Grapes are another thing.
So the sweet thing in the grape has to protect itself.
So if a fungus lands on this, and it eats that phytoalexin, it dies.
It's sort of its own, it's a pre-drug, essentially.
The drug companies can't duplicate this stuff.
And that's the beauty of what we've got here, is that you cannot patent a natural
substance.
And that's why the 280 billion dollar a year drug industry
can't come up with something as effective as this.
Phytoalexins, in red and green fruits and vegetables, have been shown to be anti-cancer
the same way that they protect the plant against fungus.
Moving on here, we've got another.
This is another Surinam cherry of a different color.
This is mangoes.
These are green and small right now, but they're going to get to be the size of a
baseball or bigger.
And what you have is, there's at least 8,000 different carotenoids, at least 20,000
different bioflavonoids, in fruits and vegetables.
And they find that these things are extraordinary as anti-aging, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory.
There's what?
Twelve million Americans who are on the Vioxx, Celebrex drugs.
They have chronic inflammation, chronic pain.
Eat more fruits and vegetables.
As a matter of fact, there's a group, if you look them up, NORI, on the web.
Nutrition Oncology Research Institute.
They recommend nothing but fruit to cure cancer, a whole-fruit diet.
Now I'm not sure that I go on that enthusiastic, but I
am clearly on board with them when you talk about the
biochemical, scientific reasons why fruit and vegetables are going to slow down cancer.
These are Golden Dorsett apples.
Apples, if you look at it and do a little analysis of it, you find not much
vitamin C and yet, the ORAC score is higher than vitamin C, because it's a combination
of all of these substances that are in the apple.
Moving on over here.
Here we go.
Mulberries.
These are Oscar mulberries.
Ty Bollinger: Now this one wasn't ripe last year.
Dr. Quillin: You're right.
You came at a different time of the year.
So dark purple is going to have this rich mixture
of phytochemicals, bioflavonoids, carotenoids.
The medicinal value is beyond argument.
Ty Bollinger: Oh my goodness.
That's ridiculously sweet.
Dr. Quillin: Delicious.
And this is why I'm saying, we're not denying ourselves, people.
People think, "If I can't have my Twinkies and Coke every day."
No, this stuff is delicious, and once you develop an appetite for
it, what's fascinating is, the human tongue has got four sensors - sour, sweet, salt and bitter.
That sweet is for fruit.
The earliest food of humans was fruit, eggs and insects.
I'm not telling you you have to eat insects, but eggs and fruit are
good, and the sweetness is to make fruit taste good and feel
good in our body.
And then what the food manufacturers have done is said, "We're going to create all
of these substitute sugars," which are not good for you, and
now we're eating 140 pounds per year of refined white sugar,
which is killing us.
Obesity, diabetes, depression, heart disease, cancer, among other diseases that
come with refined sugar.
This is a different sugar.
What you find is, if you take the fructose and other natural sugars that are in
the matrix.
Matrix means mother in Latin.
And literally, here's this sugar sitting in the middle of this cell
membrane, and it's got all these phytochemicals around it, and fiber, and it works.
And if you take a different sugar, and take all the matrix away, which is white sugar,
corn syrup, now it's killing people instead of healing people.
Ty Bollinger: I'm glad you picked that, because I was about to pick another one.
Ridiculously sweet.

Valyrian steel: who has the swords that can defeat white walkers? - Duration: 18:11.
It looks like the big threat to Westeros in Game of Thrones Season 7 are the Others, or
white walkers, with their army of the dead , marching on the Wall to bring a "night
that never ends" . These guys are a… problem, cause the walkers are not only super-strong,
super-angry ice demons, but their swords can shatter steel – they seem immune to normal
weapons . There are just two known ways to kill a walker – one is with a blade of dragonglass
– go watch that video – and the other way is with a blade of Valyrian steel – we
see this in Season 5 , and it's also hinted in the books . Valyrian steel is a special
kind of metal, used to make swords that are sharper, stronger and lighter than blades
of regular steel . The steel was made in Valyria hundreds of years ago, but when Valyria was
destroyed in a mysterious Doom, the secret of making Valyrian steel was lost . So the
Valyrian blades that remain are really valuable – there are a couple of hundred of them
in Westeros , but only about twenty are mentioned in the books.
Most are the treasured heirlooms of noble houses, handed from generation to generation
through the centuries . Lots of these swords have great backstories and histories, and
some of them may play a role in the war with the walkers to come.
So let's have a look at the Valyrian blades of Game of Thrones.
Probably the most obvious Valyrian sword is Longclaw, the sword used by Jon Snow.
Longclaw is a bastard sword, which means it's a bit longer than a normal longsword . This
is also pretty fitting given that Jon is a bastard – or he's believed to be a bastard,
but that's another story.
Longclaw is given to Jon by Jeor Mormont, whose family held the sword for hundreds of
years . Jeor originally gave Longclaw to his son Jorah, but Jorah dishonoured the family
by selling slaves and fleeing Westeros.
He leaves the sword though , so Jeor gives it to Jon.
It'd be interesting to see Jorah's reaction if he ever sees Jon with his family's sword.
But with its bastard blade and white wolf pommel, Longclaw is very symbolic of Jon's
identity.
It'll no doubt play a big role in Jon's fight against the white walkers, and the sword
might even tie in to the prophecies about a hero called Azor Ahai who's expected to
lead the fight against the walkers with a flaming sword called Lightbringer – that's
what Stannis and Melisandre try to emulate.
There are theories suggesting that Jon's sword Longclaw might somehow become the true
Lightbringer, to be the fire and the light needed to face the darkness and cold.
Another sword that appears in the show is Heartsbane, the Valyrian steel greatsword
of House Tarly . Randyll Tarly makes a big deal of how he doesn't want his fat cowardly
son Sam inheriting the fabled blade Heartsbane, which is part of the reason why Randyll forces
Sam to join the Night's Watch . Heartsbane does have a long history – a few hundred
years ago, an outlaw from Dorne called the Vulture King was stopped when men led by a
Savage Sam Tarly hunted him down, using Heartsbane to slay dozens of Dornishmen . There's a
pretty good chance our Sam was named after this historical Savage Sam.
In the books, Heartsbane is held by Randyll Tarly , who's known as one of the great
soldiers of Westeros . In the show, Sam visits home and takes Heartsbane from Randyll, bringing
it with him to the Citadel, the sorta Hogwartsy university of the maesters.
Which could play out in some interesting ways.
Maybe Sam and the maesters could study Heartsbane, try to unlock the secrets of Valyrian steel,
or maybe find more Valyrian blades.
But whatever happens at the Citadel, Randyll will want his sword back.
Another important sword is Ice, the Valyrian steel greatsword of House Stark . Ice is really
big, apparently too big to use in battle – it's more of a ceremonial sword . Ned Stark uses
it to execute Gared at the start of Book 1 – and near the end of Book 1, Ilyn Payne
uses it to execute Ned . So the Lannisters end up with Ice, and Tywin Lannister decides
to melt Ice down and reforge it into two smaller swords.
Cause while no one knows how to make new Valyrian steel, some skilled smiths can reforge it
into new forms – in this case Tywin hires the armorer Tobho Mott – who happens to
be the teacher of Gendry.
So some people speculate that Gendry knows a thing or two about Valyrian steel .
But yeah Ice is melted down and forged into two smaller swords – Tywin gives one to
his son Jaime, and the other to his grandson Joffrey.
Joffrey names his sword Widow's Wail, because he's a nasty little shit, while Jaime does
something more meaningful.
He names his sword Oathkeeper, and gives it to Brienne.
Cause remember, Jaime swears an oath to Catelyn Stark that in return for being set free, Jaime
would return to her Sansa and Arya.
So Jaime gives Brienne Oathkeeper to uphold this oath on his behalf, to defend "Ned
Stark's daughter with Ned Stark's own steel" . The sword is also symbolic of the
respect Jaime has for Brienne – he used to hold her in contempt, but now he gives
her a "sword fit for a hero".
Joffrey, meanwhile, uses his Valyrian sword to slay a book and then a pie, and then he
dies . The sword then presumably then goes to Joff's brother Tommen, though in the
show Tommen's dead too – so it's not clear who'll use the sword next.
Widow's Wail is now the only known Valyrian sword in the city of King's Landing – surely
it'll come in handy sometime.
So those are major Valyrian swords that appear in the story – there are also some interesting
historical ones.
Perhaps the most famous Valyrian blade is Blackfyre . Blackfyre was the sword of King
Aegon Targaryen, the Conqueror who first took over Westeros.
Aegon was a great warrior , and used Blackfyre in the battles that founded the Targaryen
dynasty.
Each king after Aegon bore his sword , so Blackfyre became an important symbol of Targaryen
political legitimacy – if you had the sword, you were seen as the rightful king.
That's why it was so shocking when King Aegon the Fourth, one of the worst Targaryen
kings, gave Blackfyre to one of his bastard sons, Daemon . Daemon took Blackfyre as his
house name, and later claimed to be the rightful king, beginning a war for succession called
the First Blackfyre Rebellion . The great battle of this rebellion was at the Redgrass
Field, where Daemon used Blackfyre in a duel against Gwayne Corbray, who had his own famous
Valyrian blade , called Lady Forlorn.
It's said they fought for near an hour, and each time Blackfyre and Lady Forlorn clashed,
you could hear the sound from leagues away – "half a song and half a scream" . Eventually
Daemon won the duel, but then he was killed by arrows from his half-brother Bloodraven,
who by the way, is the same guy who later becomes a tree god and teaches Bran how to
magic – more on him later.
So Daemon died on the Redgrass Field, but his Blackfyre ancestors continued to rebel
against the Targaryens for years , and all of this began partly because Aegon the Fourth
gave the Conqueror's sword to his bastard son.
The sword represents being the rightful king , but for the hundred years or so, no one
seems to know where the sword is.
Which could have implications for the schemes of Varys and Illyrio.
In the books, Varys and Illyrio have this crazy complex conspiracy to put a kid called
Young Griff – who they say is Aegon the Sixth – on the Iron Throne – go watch
that video.
But basically there's evidence that this Aegon kid might actually be a Blackfyre, a
descendent of Daemon.
So it's very interesting that in a reading by George Martin of a draft version of a chapter
from Dance, Illyrio mentions a gift for Young Griff, and a "sword", and "things Griff
must know".
Fans speculate that Illyrio may have Blackfyre, the fabled blade of Aegon, and will give it
to Griff to grant him political legitimacy as a king.
This is very speculative, but could make a lot of sense – it'd solve the mystery
of what happened to Blackfyre, and would tie present plots to the past in a really cool
way.
So yeah, Blackfyre is important, and Lady Forlorn is also a thing.
After the duel at the Redgrass Field, the sword returned to House Corbray, and a hundred
years later, Lyn Corbray used it in Robert's Rebellion, killing Prince Lewyn Martell of
the Kingsguard.
Lyn is now involved in the plots in the Vale, working with Littlefinger, but it's not
clear if he can be trusted . Lyn's a dangerous man , violent, and possibly a paedophile , depending
on how you interpret this line about "boys" . But yeah that's what's happening with
Lady Forlorn now.
Historically, there was also a sword called Lady Forlorn used in the wars of the Andals
in the Vale, but apparently that may've been a different Lady Forlorn?
People keep naming swords after famous older swords, which confuses things, but anyway
– Another important Targaryen sword is called
Dark Sister.
While Aegon the Conqueror had Blackfyre, his sister Queen Visenya had Dark Sister, a "slender
blade" designed for a female warrior . Visenya used the sword during Aegon's Conquest,
when she wasn't roasting people with her dragon.
And many years later, Dark Sister went to Daemon Targaryen, the "rogue prince",
who used the sword during the Dance of the Dragons – the big Targaryen civil war.
During a mid-air dragon battle with his nephew Aemond One-Eye, Daemon leapt from his dragon
onto Aemond's dragon, and drove Dark Sister through Aemond's one good eye , before both
men and their dragons fell from the sky and died.
This is why we need a Game of Thrones prequel movie, guys.
After Daemon, Dark Sister went to Aemon Targaryen, the famous Dragonknight said to be one of
the greatest and noblest knights that ever lived – he's the namesake of Maester Aemon
Targaryen.
And after the Dragonknight, Dark Sister went to a man called Brynden Rivers, or Bloodraven
. Bloodraven really needs his own video, but basically he was a king's bastard, a spymaster,
sorcerer , Hand of the King, he killed Daemon Blackfyre at the Redgrass Field, had a relationship
with Shiera Seastar – who might possibly be Quaithe? – then Bloodraven joined the
Night's Watch, became Lord Commander, went north and finally became a tree wizard man,
the guy who's known in the show as the three-eyed raven.
But the question here is – what happened to the sword Dark Sister?
Did Bloodraven bring it with him to the Night's Watch – like Jeor did?
And if he did, is the sword in the cave where Bloodraven trains Bran?
If so, it's possible that Bran's friend Meera might take up the sword – it's designed
for a woman's hand, after all.
In fact, some people think that in the show, she already has it – she does grab a sword
from the cave in in Season 6.
Another possibility is for Dark Sister to go to Arya.
Needle is cool and all, but surely a ninja assassin like Arya should have a storied Valyrian
sword like Dark Sister – Arya herself kind of is a 'dark sister'.
This is all wild speculation, but given the history and importance of Dark Sister, it
seems likely that the sword will reappear in the story.
Another lost Valyrian sword is Brightroar.
House Lannister bought Brightroar for a huge amount of gold before the Doom of Valyria
. But a hundred years later, after Valyria was destroyed, King Tommen Lannister went
on an expedition to plunder its ruins.
He took Brightroar with him – and "never returned" . House Lannister lost one of
its most valuable treasures, which always frustrated Tywin when he led House Lannister.
So at one point, Tywin's younger brother Gerion went on a quest to find Brightroar,
but he never returned either – go watch the Gerion video.
But in the end, Tywin got his Valyrian sword in the form of Ice, which he made into Oathkeeper
and Widow's Wail.
By the way, in the books those swords are coloured red, Tywin has the metal dyed to
a sorta rippling Lannister crimson, cause Tywin's all about that house pride family
legacy stuff.
Anyway the next couple swords are owned by ironborn – there's Red Rain and Nightfall.
Red Rain is a Valyrian sword held by Dunstan Drumm , the Lord of Old Wyk.
He whips it out at the Kingsmoot and recounts how his ancestor, Hilmar Drumm the Cunning,
famously took Red Rain from some knight, armed only with his wits and a cudgel.
And there's a theory that that the knight who Drumm took Red Rain from might have been
from House Reyne , a family in the westerlands who Tywin Lannister wiped out.
The Reynes have a red lion for their sigil, and their name is Reyne, so Red Rain is a
fitting name in more ways than one.
And the westerlands have historically been raided by ironborn , so it makes a lot of
sense for the Drumms to have taken Red Rain from the Reynes.
In Book 4, Drumm is on raids with Red Rain in the reach.
Nightfall is Valyrian sword held by the knight Ser Harras Harlaw.
Harras supports Asha or Yara Greyjoy at the kingsmoot , though Euron later kinda steals
him from her by making Harras a lord . The sword Nightfall was historically wielded by
the infamous ironborn raider Dalton Greyjoy , called the Red Kraken for all the blood
he shed . It's said Dalton loved three things, the sea, women, and his Valyrian sword Nightfall
. It's not clear how Red Rain and Nightfall will tie into the broader story of Thrones,
but some speculate that King Euron might take these swords from their owners – in the
books Euron has a set of armour made of Valyrian steel, he might wanna complement that with
a Valyrian sword or two.
Also Nightfall is a pretty appropriate name for someone who is low-key trying to cause
a Lovecraftian blood magic apocalypse type situation, which, he is – we'll have to
explain that in another video.
Euron is scary.
But another Valyrian blade that's had a big impact on the story is not another sword,
but a knife.
In Book and Season 1, an assassin tries to kill Bran Stark with a knife of Valyrian steel.
Catelyn takes the blade to King's Landing, and Littlefinger tells her the knife is Tyrion's
– so Catelyn, thinking the dwarf tried to kill her son, arrests Tyrion, which kicks
off the War of the Five Kings.
Thing is, the real culprit behind the catspaw is Joffrey – Littlefinger lied about the
knife in a deliberate attempt to cause war.
After betraying Ned Stark and profiting off the downfall of his family, Littlefinger carries
the Valyrian knife in later books – shamelessly wearing a symbol of his lies and betrayal.
Now, in the books, Sansa in the Vale with Littlefinger and the knife – some people
speculate that Sansa will use the knife to kill him, destroying Littlefinger with the
same blade he used to destroy her family.
There'd be a great poetry to that – though things'll prolly go differently in the show.
There are a few more Valyrian swords that were used in the Dance of the Dragons, the
Targaryen civil war from a hundred years ago.
Lamentation is a sword carried by a guy called Willum Royce.
He got caught up in the Storming of the Dragonpit, when a rioting mob of common folk killed some
chained-up dragons.
In all the violence and the chaos, Willum Royce and his sword were lost . There was
also Bold Jon Roxton and Ormund Hightower, who bore the swords Orphan-Maker and Vigilance
. Roxton was killed , and we haven't heard from his family since, but the Hightowers
are still around, so they might have Vigilance at Oldtown – where Euron may be closing
in.
There are a few more Valyrian blades that are only briefly mentioned in the text.
Some soldier from Lys had a Valyrian sword called Truth , the Celtigars of Claw Isle
are said to have a Valyrian steel axe , and a guy called Caggo has a Valyrian steel arakh
– one of those curvy Dothraki scythey things – which is apparently rare in Valyrian steel
. Caggo is a captain of the Windblown mercenaries, so he'll be involved in the story ahead.
And finally, there are a bunch of Valyrian daggers among the treasure Euron presents
at the Kingsmoot.
It's a little weird the way these are off-handedly mentioned , as though a buncha Valyrian blades
is no big deal – maybe Valyrian daggers are more common than the swords are, though
you'd think, that if so, someone like Tywin could buy a bunch of Valyrian daggers and
reforge them into the sword Tywin so desperately wanted for so long.
The true value and rarity of Valyrian steel is not very clear.
But regardless, this is every Valyrian blade mentioned in Game of Thrones.
Longclaw and Heartsbane, Ice, Oathkeeper and Widow's Wail, Blackfyre, Dark Sister, Lady
Forlorn, Brightroar, Red Rain and Nightfall, the swords of the Dance, Littlefinger's
dagger and this other miscellaneous stuff too.
There are more swords out there somewhere of course – bout a hundred and eighty more
– and Westeros might need them all to win the war against the walkers.

Can you solve the pirate riddle? - Alex Gendler - Duration: 5:24.
It's a good day to be a pirate.
Amaro and his four mateys,
Bart,
Charlotte,
Daniel,
and Eliza
have struck gold:
a chest with 100 coins.
But now, they must divvy up the booty according to the pirate code.
As captain, Amaro gets to propose how to distribute the coins.
Then, each pirate, including Amaro himself,
gets to vote either yarr or nay.
If the vote passes, or if there's a tie, the coins are divided according to plan.
But if the majority votes nay,
Amaro must walk the plank
and Bart becomes captain.
Then, Bart gets to propose a new distribution
and all remaining pirates vote again.
If his plan is rejected, he walks the plank, too,
and Charlotte takes his place.
This process repeats,
with the captain's hat moving to Daniel and then Eliza
until either a proposal is accepted or there's only one pirate left.
Naturally, each pirate wants to stay alive while getting as much gold as possible.
But being pirates, none of them trust each other,
so they can't collaborate in advance.
And being blood-thirsty pirates,
if anyone thinks they'll end up with the same amount of gold either way,
they'll vote to make the captain walk the plank just for fun.
Finally, each pirate is excellent at logical deduction
and knows that the others are, too.
What distribution should Amaro propose to make sure he lives?
Pause here if you want to figure it out for yourself!
Answer in: 3
Answer in: 2
Answer in: 1
If we follow our intuition,
it seems like Amaro should try to bribe the other pirates with most of the gold
to increase the chances of his plan being accepted.
But it turns out he can do much better than that. Why?
Like we said, the pirates all know each other to be top-notch logicians.
So when each votes, they won't just be thinking about the current proposal,
but about all possible outcomes down the line.
And because the rank order is known in advance,
each can accurately predict how the others would vote in any situation
and adjust their own votes accordingly.
Because Eliza's last, she has the most outcomes to consider,
so let's start by following her thought process.
She'd reason this out by working backwards from the last possible scenario
with only her and Daniel remaining.
Daniel would obviously propose to keep all the gold
and Eliza's one vote would not be enough to override him,
so Eliza wants to avoid this situation at all costs.
Now we move to the previous decision point
with three pirates left and Charlotte making the proposal.
Everyone knows that if she's outvoted, the decision moves to Daniel,
who will then get all the gold while Eliza gets nothing.
So to secure Eliza's vote,
Charlotte only needs to offer her slightly more than nothing, one coin.
Since this ensures her support,
Charlotte doesn't need to offer Daniel anything at all.
What if there are four pirates?
As captain, Bart would still only need one other vote for his plan to pass.
He knows that Daniel wouldn't want the decision to pass to Charlotte,
so he would offer Daniel one coin for his support
with nothing for Charlotte or Eliza.
Now we're back at the initial vote with all five pirates standing.
Having considered all the other scenarios,
Amaro knows that if he goes overboard,
the decision comes down to Bart,
which would be bad news for Charlotte and Eliza.
So he offers them one coin each, keeping 98 for himself.
Bart and Daniel vote nay,
but Charlotte and Eliza grudgingly vote yarr
knowing that the alternative would be worse for them.
The pirate game involves some interesting concepts from game theory.
One is the concept of common knowledge
where each person is aware of what the others know
and uses this to predict their reasoning.
And the final distribution is an example of a Nash equilibrium
where each player knows every other players' strategy
and chooses theirs accordingly.
Even though it may lead to a worse outcome for everyone
than cooperating would,
no individual player can benefit by changing their strategy.
So it looks like Amaro gets to keep most of the gold,
and the other pirates might need to find better ways
to use those impressive logic skills,
like revising this absurd pirate code.

Can a Christian ever retire? - Duration: 5:06.
DOES A CHRISTIAN EVER GET TO RETIRE?
WELCOME BACK TO WRETCHED. CAN YOU STOP
WORKING AT ANY POINT IN YOUR LIFE AND JUST REST. THAT IS
THE QUESTION THAT HUGH WHELCHEL RAISED TRYING TO HELP US THROUGH
THE ISSUE BIBLICALLY. HERES WHAT HE HAD TO SAY, "THE ONLY PLACE
THAT MENTIONS ANYTHING LIKE RETIREMENT IS FOUND IN NUMBERS
8:21-23" REXELLA, GOD TELLS MOSES THAT THE LEVITES, THE
PRIESTS WHO ARE CHARGED WITH SERVING GOD BY DOING MUCH IN AND
AROUND THE TABERNACLE WERE ALLOWED TO BEGIN THEIR WORK IN
AND AROUND THE AGE 25 AND WORK UNTIL THE MANDATORY RETIREMENT
AGE OF 50. HOWEVER, THESE RETIRED PRIESTS DID NOT PACK
THEIR BAGS AND SPEND THE REST OF THEIR LIVES IN THE BEACH AT TEL
AVIV (WHICH I UNDERSTAND IS VERY NICE) THEY WERE EXPECTED TO TAKE
ON THE ROLE OF ASSISTING THE YOUNGER MEN IN PERFORMING THEIR
WORK. BEING A PRIEST WAS NOT LIGHTWEIGHT WORK, IT REQUIRED A
LOT OF HEAVY LIFTING AND SO GOD GAVE ORDERS FOR THE LEVITES TO
STOP WITH THE HEAVY LABOR PRIEST WORK AT THE AGE OF 50. BUT, THEY
DIDN'T STOP WORKING, THEY STARTED HELPING AND ASSISTING.
HMM, I'M WONDERING IF THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN APPLY TO
THE SUBJECT OF RETIREMENT. MORE FROM HUGH WHELCHEL "IN HIS
COMMENTARY ON NUMBERS ADAM CLARKE STATES 'THEY WERE NO
LONGER OBLIGATED TO PERFORM ANY LABORIOUS SERVICE BUT WERE TO
ACT AS GENTLE DIRECTORS AND COUNSELORS (BECAUSE THEY HAD
WISDOM) THIS HELPED THE YOUNGER MEN ASSUME MORE RESPONSIBILITIES
AND ALLOW THE OLDER MEN TO BE IN A POSITION TO ADVISE AND COUNSEL
THEM" THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES US ABOUT RETIREMENT BUT
WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SHOW US? ALL OF THE OTHER EXAMPLES IN THE
BIBLE ARE OF MEN WHO WORKED MOST IF NOT ALL OF THEIR LIVES. FOUR
EXAMPLES, NUMBER FOUR: JOHN THE APOSTLE SERVED AND WROTE INTO
HIS 90'S , NUMBER THREE: MOSES WAS 83 WHEN HE WENT TO PHARAOH
THAT'S WHEN HE STARTED WORKING FOR THE LORD, AND ASKS FOR THE
FREEDOM OF THE ISRAELITE SLAVES AND HE CONTINUED WORKING UNTIL
HE DIED AT AGE 120. NUMBER TWO: DANIEL WAS PROBABLY IN HIS 80'S
WHEN HE WAS THROWN INTO THE LIONS DEN (I THOUGHT HE WAS JUST
A BOY) AND FINALLY, IN TITUS CHAPTER 2 PAUL INSTRUCTED THE
OLDER MEN AND WOMEN TO TEACH YOUNGER PEOPLE HOW TO BEHAVE
THROUGH THEIR EXAMPLE. SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH THESE TWO BITES OF
INFORMATION? THERE IS AN INSTANCE OF SORT-OF RETIREMENT
ON THE OTHER HAND WE SEE MEN WORKING THEIR FINGERS TO THE
BONE UNTIL THEY DIE. HERE'S WHAT HUGH WHELCHEL WROTE, "TODAY IF A
CHRISTIAN IS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO SUPPLY FOR HIS OR HER NEEDS
WITHOUT RECEIVING A SALARY HE OR SHE MAY RETIRE FROM THEIR JOB AT
ANY TIME. HOWEVER, A CHRISTIAN NEVER RETIRES FROM SERVING GOD
THROUGH HIS OR HER VOCATIONAL CALL. WHILE WE MAY HAVE MOVED
INTO A NEW SEASON IN OUR LIVES GOD STILL CALLS US TO GROW AND
INVEST OUR GIFTS AND TALENTS IN THE WORK THAT HE IS DOING IN THE
WORLD (AND THE LOCAL CHURCH). FOR MANY, RETIREMENT MAY GIVE
THEM NEW WAYS OF WORKING TOWARDS THE KINGDOM. BE THAT IN PAID
WORK, RELATIONAL ACTIVITIES, IN VOLUNTARY COMMITMENT, OR IN THE
MINISTRY OF PRAYER. IF YOU'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT CALLING IT
QUIT PLEASE NEVER STOP WORKING FOR THE KINGDOM.

Static Electricity Detector - Can Sense a Hairbrush From 2 Meters [DIY] - Duration: 3:15.
Hey, welcome to another video from Electrical Projects channel. And in today's video,
I am going to build a very simple device that detects static electricity
This device will be very sensitive and will detect your hair brush even from two meters.
for building this device
I will use two transistors, one of which is regular bipolar transistor and second is JFET transistor.
Also, we'll need, an LED, 10K resistor,
an active buzzer, and a couple of wires to connect this device to a power source.
On the right, you can see the schematic and let's start soldering.
First I am going to solder together the source lead of J310 and emitter of BC547
and connect to them a black wire.
Perfect. Now I am going to solder together Drain of J310 with the Base lead of BC547
and also I'll solder to them 10k Ohm resistor
Now let's solder Cathode of the LED with collector lead of BC547
And now let's solder anode of an LED with the minus lead of the buzzer, and this device is almost ready.
The last thing that requires soldering is red wire,
We need to solder it to plus lead of the buzzer and to 10K resistor, and this device is ready.
Also, if you want to make this device more sensitive you can make gate lead of JFET transistor longer
But it is not necessary
Now let's see how this device works
Now brush your hair and after that bring the hair brush to this device
And there is all for today
I hope this video was interesting if so, then like it and of course thanks for watching and see you next time

Trump says Washington can't allow N. Korea to have better nuclear weapons delivery system - Duration: 2:16.
North Korea issue was the main topic during a recent interview U.S. President Donald Trump
gave to CBS.
He's apparently determined to work with China to rein in the North Korean regime.
Connie Kim shares with us the outspoken but ambiguous leader's comments.
U.S. President Donald Trump's strategic ambiguity regarding North Korea was highlighted during
an exclusive interview with CBS marking his 100th day in the White House.
"We shouldn't be announcing all our moves.
It is a chess game.
I just don't want people to know what my thinking is.
So eventually, he will have a better delivery system.
And if that happens, we can't allow it to happen."
From the start of the Trump administration, the U.S. President dealt with the North Korea
issue as one of the most pressing foreign policy agendas to solve bringing up the card
of "all options" in dealing with Pyongyang.
But issuing a statement on the regime last week, Washington toned down its voice saying
the doors remain open for talks with the North.
In efforts to maximize pressure on Pyongyang, Trump chose to work with China as Beijing
exerts significant influence over the regime.
And by doing so,.. Trump has shown that he is willing to give in to China in trade in
exchange for helping Washington solve the North Korea factor.
"I think that, frankly, North Korea is maybe more important than trade.
Trade is very important.
But massive warfare with millions, potentially millions of people being killed?
That, as we would say, trumps trade."
Following the much anticipated summit between Trump and Xi as well as their subsequent phone
conversations, the two seem to see eye to eye about refraining Pyongyang from launching
a provocation.
"I would not be happy.
If he does a nuclear test, I will not be happy.
And I can tell you also, I don't believe that the president of China, who is a very respected
man, will be happy either."
And seemingly corroborating Trump's statements, the South China Morning Post reported Beijing
would consider an oil embargo for at least six months if Pyongyang pushes the button
on another nuclear test,... while China's ultra-nationalist Global Times reported Beijing
would have little choice but to support harsher sanctions if the regime pushes ahead with
its nuclear ambitions.
