Youtube daily an Jul 1 2017

Hey everyone, it's me Kewpie83.

For a while now I've wanted to do something on BJD's, like a quick video overview of what

a BJD, Ball Jointed Doll, is, what the characteristics are of them, all the kinds of BJD's that are

out there, b/c it can be quite confusing to someone who is brand new to the hobby to understand

what makes a ball jointed doll vs any other kind.

So this video is kind of like an informative overview of what a ball jointed doll is, a

BJD, and the one's that are currently in my collection.

So, I wrote a post on this a few years ago.

This is essentially a rehash of that post, but I will link to it below, just in case

you want to read it as well.

So, quick disclaimer, BJD's can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different

people.

Some people are very restrictive in what they consider a ball jointed doll, other people

are a little more open to what they perceive a BJD to be.

So, you may disagree with me in certain points, I may disagree with you in certain points,

but we agree to disagree, b/c BJD's is a super subjective topic.

So, just wanted to get that disclaimer out there.

Let's get to the characteristics.

So, characteristics of BJD's, there are, like, three to four different things that a ball

jointed doll should have.

A) they are jointed with a ball and socket joint system.

So, they are strung together and they have ball and socket joints, just like this girl

here.

And like this girl, you can see her elbows ball/socket joint.

So, you'll see that.

They are strung as well.

Also they're customizable.

You can change their eyes, you can give them a wig, you can give them new limbs if you

really are creative, so they're customizable for the most part.

You can give them a new face, you can give them different colored eyes, you can give

them lashes, you can take their head cap off and manipulate all of those things inside

the head.

You can give them wigs.

Third, usually BJD's are cast in resin.

This is kind of where I diverge from the pack here.

I think a BJD, as long as it's customizable, strung, made in a similar aesthetic to a resin

BJD, I think it's still a ball jointed doll, even if it's made in ABS.

So you'll see some here that are not made of resin and I still consider them a BJD.

So you may ask, what is the difference between like a Hujoo made of ABS, and a Bobobie, which

is made of resin.

So, essentially, obviously it's different materials, ABS is a plastic of sorts, resin

is resin but also price wise, ABS is a whole lot cheaper than resin.

So, if you're looking for affordable things to collect that are BJD's or in my opinion

are BJD's, then ABS is a good method to go.

The fourth rule is not really a rule.

I don't actually agree with it.

Some groups out there specifically some forums out there, think that BJD's have to have an

asian aesthetic to them.

I don't agree with that at all, I feel like a lot of asian culture was originally, slightly

inspired by western culture, you'll see that with anime and like the great anime artist,

who kind of like fathered the anime culture, even they'll say they were inspired by Walt

Disney doing his Mickey Mouse stuff.

So, I don't agree with the whole asian aesthetic thing.

I think if it's a BJD, it's customizable, it has string joints, you can string it together,

then you're okay.

It's a BJD, even if it doesn't have whatever this asian aesthetic is, coz that in itself

is super subjective.

So, clasifications of ball jointed dolls.

This is the part that gets super confusing or it was to me for example.

So there are different sizes of BJD's.

You'll see people say, oh this is an SD, this is an MSD, this is a tiny and you're like,

what is this language you are speaking.

I don't understand it.

So, here's a little guide to what they are talking about.

This is SD.

This is the SD size.

Essentially, all these terms relate to size.

So this is a My Ballerina Doll, she's not technically a BJD, but the has that aesthetic

to her.

She's not strung, which is why I don't consider her one, but she is the same size as an SD

ball jointed doll.

SD sized dolls are roughly 60 to 70 cm tall.

They are considered 1/3rd.

And SD for those who care to know stands for Super Dollfie.

So, when Volks started this big trend, when they made their first Ball Jointed Doll, they

called it a Super Dolffie and then generically, in the hobby, people started referring to

to any doll of this size as SD.

So, it will help to find clothing and wigs and that sort of thing.

So we have MSD right here.

So we have a doll in mind fantasisa, bobobie pixie, possibly, luts aru.

These are all MSD sized dolls.

They're also referred to as one 1/4th scale.

MSD dolls are usually around 40 cm tall.

Again, MSD is a generic Volks term that now is used generically.

So, Volks called their dolls of this size Mini Super Dollfies and now that just pretty

much stands for any doll within this size category.

MSD dolls, I quite like the size.

SD dolls can be a little big.

So if you don't have space and you want to collect a lot of BJD's, you may want to consider

MSDs as your key size, but it's all up to you.

Tinies have the most variety in their sizing.

So, tinies can be 27 cm tall or smaller.

Some are slightly bigger.

As long as they're not close to the MSD size, it's pretty much considered a tiny.

So they're 1/6th scale.

We have some tinies here.

So we have some Hujoo's, a Hujoo Wings, a Hujoo, we have a bobobie march, a resin soul

bei, we have another Hujoo, we have a YOSD girl over there, all these guys are tines.

As you can see, there's a drastic change in height between this tiny vs this tiny.

So, also there's anthro, you may hear that term tossed around.

These are all anthro's, along with the three tiny one's over there.

So, that's just a human/animal mash up/hybrid of sorts.

So, this is like a dog girl.

There's a cat, there's a bunny, so that's what an anthro is and then you'll hear the

term YOSD.

So YOSD, from what I gather, it's this girl on the side right here in the green dress.

She has a very thick body.

She's a tiny, but she's YOSD, so while's she's the same size as her, practically, she's very

skinny and she's not very skinny.

She is more resin to her.

Her body is thicker, so that's a YOSD, from what I gather, it's a tiny with a thicker

body.

So, as you can see from just this table right here, there's a whole lot of choices that

you can choose from when you're choosing your first BJD.

My first ball jointed doll was this one right here, the bobobie march, which I got from

The Junky Spot and I just really liked that she had elf ears.

She ended up getting a different face up.

I sent her off to a customizer on the Den of Angels board called MEEEEE, Meeeeee.

So, that was like super exciting seeing what she would do with her and she did a great

job.

B/C originally, her face was cute, but it was just very basic, so I quite like what

she did there.

Andthen from there, many of these just started to appear.

Then I got her and I got him for Christmas and this whole little table kind of grew.

But there's a lot of thought that you should probably put in if you're buying a BJD as

your first ball jointed doll.

There are many questions you should ask yourself b/c they are expensive.

You're going to put a lot of money into it, even if you buy an ABS one.

You buy a Hujoo, you're putting a lot of money into it when you think of the wig, the eyes,

the outfit, the face ups and all that jazz.

So, here are a couple questions you should probably ask yourself while you're window

shopping for your ball jointed doll.

So, I'll read them off my little paper here.

Think about what size you're going for.

Clearly, you'll see there's a range of sizes, so if you don't have a lot of space and you

don't think you can take care of an SD sized doll, then cut that out of your search.

Look for tinies, look for MSD's.

If you know you really want a big one, then cut these guys out of your search and look

for an SD.

So, think about what size you like, what size you feel like putting your money into.

Think about your space.

All of that is a very good thing to think about.

Think about what gender you're looking for.

BJD's come in all genders, so most of these are female, this guys a male.

But if you want a boy, if you really really want that boy ball jointed doll, just go for

it.

Do you have a character in mind?

What's the sort of vibe you're going for?

Different face molds are going to give off a different vibe, so for example, the Hujoo

face mold is very alien like with the big eyes and just how their placed.

Like, it just looks cool and off, I think it looks really cool, but of course, it doesn't

give off the cutsy vibe so much like the Luts Aru does.

So, think about the character you're, like you have in your mind.

Think about the outfits you're thinking of that would look perfect for your doll and

try to look at the face mold with your character in mind, just so it doesn't come to your house

and you're like, oh, this is great, but I don't love it as much as I thought I would.

Or it doesn't fit the character that I thought it would.

To face up or not to face up.

All of these, well not all of these, all the big ones have factory face ups.

Most of the tinies have a custom face up.

It's kind of a mixed bag here, but you can order a doll without a face up or you can

order it with a face up, with a factory face up.

So, like this Hujoo for example, has a factory face, this one did not, so I had to do that

or I'd have to hire someone out like I did for my March girl over there.

Even if you order a doll with a face up, there are people who can take the face up off if

you decide you want a totally different one.

So, think about it.

I like ordering big BJD's with a face up, just because I know I'm not talented in that

way, but if you're artistically inclined you may want to consider saving a couple bucks

and doing the face yourself.

Think about how much you want to spend b/c BJD's can be super expensive.

Like I said, ABS are pretty affordable, but some of these resin girls are a little more

expensive.

Expect to at least spend $100 bucks if you're looking for a resin girl.

March, my bobobie march over there, was just over $100 I think.

And that was without eyes and without the wig and without the clothing.

None of the extras were included in that price.

Expect to spend over $100 if you're looking for a girl that's made of resin.

Or a boy, for that matter, as I said, they come in both genders.

One big question is do you want it now or can you wait?

So, some companies, some webstores will pre-order items.

When you order it, they'll set up an order with the company and then the company could

take months to fill it.

Some other stores only sell what they have on hand.

So they can ship it out the next day and you literally have your doll in a week.

So, think about that.

I'm not good at waiting, so I typically try to order from the stores that I know have

it in stock, but it's a question you should ask yourself.There are different ways you

can order these.

You can order, pre-order from stores, directly from the company, you can join a forum and

do a group order.

The Junky Spot is my go to for a lot of ball jointed dolls, just because they always have

them on hand.

Like they don't do the pre-order thing.

And, as I said, I like getting my dolls in a timely manner.

So, another question that you should ask yourself is do you want a full set or do you want just

the doll.

So there are some full sets where you can get the doll, the eyes, the wig, the outfit.

It's usually much more than if you were to just buy the doll naked.

So do you want everything or do you want to be able to customize it when you get your

doll?

Something to think about.

But, really the most important thing is to make sure you love what you got.

Don't just buy a BJD b/c you think the price is good and you'll learn to love it.

Just buy, if there's one your really love and it's a little more money than this one

that you that you kind of love, then go with the one that you know you'll enjoy, b/c in

the end, you're spending the money for it, it's going to be in your room, you're going

to be seeing it, so choose one that you know that you'll enjoy.

So the care and feeding of your BJD.

They're not as fragile as you probably think they are.

If you're ever by, at a meet up and you see one, just ask the person if you can hold it

and you'll realize that they'r not as fragile as you probably expect.

I kind of expected that they'd be more like porcelain, which to me is like, it's porcelain,

it's break, but it's not like that at all.They have weight to them.

Obviously, if you drop them from a tall distance, they will crack or break or something, but

that's like everything, you drop anything from a tall distance, there's a chance it's

going to break.

But these are not as fragile as they look.

Also, the one key thing is if these are in direct sunlight, there's a chance they're

going to start to yellow really quickly.

So the resin, which is white will start to turn yellow.

My Aru was whiter than she is now, she's started yellowing and she hasn't been in direct sunlight,

so it's going to happen eventually.

Your doll will get yellow to an extent, they'll get yellow faster if they're in direct sunlight.So,

choose a shelf or a case that is not directly in front of your window.

It's that simple.

Some people go to the extent where they 'll like keep them in a box in the closet where

they'll get no light at all.

They're still going to yellow, they're just going to yellow inside that box, so you don't

have to hide them from the sun, but just be smart about it.

Eventually, you'll have to restring them.

They get flopsy, it's just the nature of it.

If you want them to stand on their own and they're flopsy, then you just have to check

youtube, find a tutorial you like and restring your BJD.

And if they do get any, like, marks, if they wear and outfit that rubs off on their resin,

Magic Eraser is really good at getting the spots off.

It's never hurt the doll and it takes the spots off really easily.

So, yay for magic erasers.

Depending on where you are, there are various shops where you can order BJDs without having

to go directly from the company, which I personally prefer b/c sometimes there can be communication

errors if you're ordering from a company that is in China or Japan or wherever.

So, I personally check The Junky Spot, Mint on Card and Denver Dolls when I'm looking

to order BJDs.

Of course, there's other sites Ali Express, eBay.

They'll all have BJDs and they'll all have different, some will do the layaway thing,

some will do pre-order thing, so those are my go to places for BJDs.

But, if you are not in the United States, I am sure there are some stores that you can

hit up, too.

Just search your location and BJD and you'll probably find it.

There are some forums that you can choose to join in if you want to just talk BJD.

Den of Angels is the first one that comes to mind.

It's the biggest board out of there and it's been around for a very very long time.

They have some great rescources for you.

If you just have a question, you don't have a BJD, there's a lot of information based

on that forum.

Also, if you want to see images of dolls before you buy it, b/c some times promo images won't

look at all like the released doll, that's a good place to see images of what people

have done with their BJD.

It is a bit restrictive when it comes to what they allow you to cover.

Hujoo's for example are not allowed on their board, recasts are not allowed on their board.

They're a bit restrictive on what you can discuss and what you can share, but as far

as getting information, seeing photos, using their market place, participating in group

orders, they are a pretty good forum.

There's also regional forums.

For example in the midwest, you may want to join Dairyland BJD or Chitown Dollz.

Both of those are really good regional forums.

But that's it.

That's kind of the quick overview of what a BJD is and what some of the terms that BJD

collectors will throw out actually mean.

If you have any questions, you can leave them down in the comment area.

Feel free to ask me whatever you would like and that's about it.

But, in the meantime, in the comment area, also, do you have a BJD, tell me which one

it is.

What's your favorite thing about them.

Do you have a good resource that I did not share here or a good tip or trick for newbie's,

then you can leave it down in the comment area, too.

And I'll talk to you later.

Bye.

An Inverted F 35 Firing Off A Missile To Test Performance Under Negative G Forces - Duration: 1:03.

As the F-35 marches closer to full combat readiness, pilots test the jet in ever more

challenging environments, most recently by firing a AIM 9x air-to-air missile while flying

upside-down.

"This unique missile launch is a situation we don't expect a pilot to be in very often,"

read the release.

Firing a missile upside-down is nothing new.

Fighters have had this capability for decades, and the stealth F-35 shouldn't often find

itself in a turning fight with adversaries.

But now they know that if they need to fire a missile while experiencing negative G forces

and inverted, they can.

"We want to provide the maximum capability of the F-35 to the fleet to get them where

they need to be for training and operational use," said James Shepherd, the test pilot

who fired the missile at Patuxent River Navy Base.

"This will ensure we meet our promises to deliver the most advanced fifth generation

fighter in the world."

Crystals Ruined My Life For A Week / Gaby Dunn [CC] - Duration: 8:53.

I bought something today

that I'm very excited about

because I'm a child

It's a crystal growing kit

I had a bunch of weird science stuff as a kid

Like I had this thing where you could keep moths

As pets but you would grow them like you would order cocoons in the mail

And you would grow them

I actually am now just wondering if that was some sort of illegal butterfly trade

that I was participating in as a child

So this is the EDU science crystal kit

I don't know if it's the same one I had as a child

but it says ages 8 and up on here and I'm going to be very embarrassed if I can't do it

There's um, holders

So this is an LED light that I'll have to put batteries in

Probably have to take batteries out of my vibrator

That's what a child would say, right?

Space age crystals

So these packets become the crystals?

And then what's the middle step? There's no...like, ???? Crystals???

Protective goggles which it says on the package don't do anything

But I appreciate the commitment to science

Some rocks

A magnifying glass and some little cup thing.

And then instructions. Oh my god, there's other things you need?

Fuck. Okay. Oh my god.

This is so intense. Oh my god.

We have to go into the kitchen. We have to cook this.

I guess I'll use this. (clanging) Even though that seems wrong.

So I put water in the pan. Now you're supposed to take this crystal thing.

It looks like sugar and it smells very....bad.

A base rock goes in here.

A child is really supposed to do this? Like, there's sharp edges.

There's scissors involved.

I don't even know what an 8 year old is capable of.

Are 8 year olds capable of using scissors on their own?

So put two...

And drop them into B

Pour all the remaining ones into the saucepan. Okay. Wow.

Wow, okay thus far you have to wait until it's completely dissolved.

And then let it cool down and then we're gonna pour (clanging)

Wait, what the fuck?

Okay so this will take 24 hours to grow so I'm going to leave it overnight once we pour it.

I might have D batteries actually lemme look.

What if I just had a vibrator that needed to take these?

Who is this video for?

Is it for 8 year olds who are going to buy this then I should probably stop talking about vibrators, right?

Or is it for adults with nostalgia?

And sex lives.

Who also make crystals

So it's for me.

It says I have to let it cool down for an hour that's why. Because I can't put...

Do I look crazy?

I poured the water into these.

And I used yellow crystals and I used white crystals

Let's get candid. I don't know if I followed the directions 100 percent correct.

Also, check this out.

There's a little part of the instructions that says

If no crystals grew it's because you used too much water.

So I'm quite nervous that no crystals are going to grow.

But let's see.

In an hour, we will know.

Well maybe if I go to bed, maybe tomorrow they'll be fully grown.

And so I won't just stare at them waiting for them to grow.

You know what they say: a watched crystal never hatches.

K bye.

Good morning, everyone.

So these crystals were supposed to take

24 hours to grow and they were supposed to

start growing overnight

but what I'm about to show you is very disappointing. Let's go to the tape.

NOTHING HAPPENED.

Let's look at this. ...OHHHH OH NO OH NO

And I can't imagine if you were 8 years old you wouldn't also spill everywhere.

It made a very scary acid-seeping noise

when it hit the counter.

Almost like seltzer exploding.

Which I can't imagine is good

For the tabletop or getting my security deposit back.

What I'm going to do is try and boil the chemical again

Like this has touched my hands so much am I going to turn into Alex Mack?

So I'm going to use less water but like, I'm not doing anything wrong. I wish I could show you guys.

You can't really read it. Maybe you can, but I'm not doing anything wrong.

Again this seems very dangerous.

For an 8 year old.

In the meantime, this is the LED light.

Okay, so the light works. Take me to your leader...oh, it changes color!

I also want to let everyone know that I'm not wearing the goggles because they go over my glasses

And glasses are already protective goggles and these are not prescription.

Although what if I just went into Lenscrafters and was like I need to make these goggles prescription?

As you can see we've installed the LED light

And the crystal that I tried to grow last night

This is the base crystal so this is not any growth

This is just what it's supposed to grow off of and the LED light has revealed

it has not grown.

Okay so I poured the orange liquid in now that it's cooled

So we'll see what happens.

That's peanut butter, but check this out. It left a lot of weird shiny crystal stuff in the pot.

What does it mean?

It's the next morning

And let's take a look

So some crystal dust is forming on the bottom

Not the way it looks on the package

So let's put it on the LED light and see if anything changes. Oops, almost spilled it.

I mean....

Ugh okay.

I refuse to believe this thing doesn't work.

Why would you sell it to children?

I guess because they're stupid and they'll buy stuff.

What the actual fuck?

What we have here looks like a broken popsicle

And it seems to have formed to the bottom of the cup it was in.

Day three of me trying to make these crystals that are supposedly easy enough for an 8 year old to make

Captain's log.

I've lost all hope. I don't know if I'll be able to make/grow these crystals.

I'm starting to believe there were never any crystals to begin with.

I'm really at the end of my rope.

I'm really...I'm really fucking losing it, um.

I'm gonna give it one more try.

I've gone with the ruby version and I'm using much less water.

And we're gonna see if this makes any difference.

I feel like I'm making borscht.

Okay! Okay! Now something's happening.

I feel like I've just been like, courting

QUARTZING!

Quartzing these crystals! (A pun)

Courting these crystals which is known as quartzing.

What a great pun

for a long time and they've been giving me nothing and now I finally got a laugh out of them, you know?

Yes! It's bubbling so much!

It's having a reaction! Are you gonna make me crystals, bitch?

Day five.

Let's check on the crystals. I already looked and...

It's just a blob.

Nope. Entirely covers the light.

(groaning)

Yeah, it's dissolving.

It looks like this crystal is getting its period.

I failed myself. I failed my ancestors.

I failed the entire queer community.

I could not grow the crystals. I...

I tried. I gave it five days of my life.

I used a little water, I used a lot of water, I used medium water. Nothing.

Starting to believe that this toy I bought for 10 bucks at a Toys R Us in Glendale

was not legit.

Zero stars. Zero fucking stars.

What if I can't do it? No, I'll do it. It's for 8 year olds, right?

How hard could it be?

125 Moments-Recalling the end of an era when Steven Gerrard called time on his Anfield playing days - Duration: 4:56.

125 Moments - Recalling the end of an era when Steven Gerrard called time on his Anfield playing days

Steven Gerrard played his last game for Liverpool on the May 16, 2015, signalling the end of an era for one the club's bona fide legends.

It was an ignominious end for a player who had lit up Anfield from the moment he joined the club as an eight-year-old—as Liverpool were crushed 6-1 by Stoke Cityand in a team of hopeless underachievers—but it was Stevie who got the Reds' only goal.

Gerrard grew up in the Huyton area of Liverpool and would go on to conquer Europe in a red shirt, with a Liver Bird on his chest.

In a career that spanned 17 years, he played over 500 games and scored 120 goals. For Reds supporters everywhere, his leaving Liverpool was a bitter blow.

It may all have been different, of course, had the club offered him a contract the previous summer, but for whatever reason they dallied too long and a club icon decided it was time to move on.

He would leave temporarily for the United States and LA Galaxy, but the call of Anfield would eventually prove to loud to ignore and he returned in 2017 to manage Liverpool's U18s.

Many of us will view it as an utter privilege that our lives coincided with the emergence of Gerrard's legend at Anfield.

Clearly he is a player who will be spoken of with reverence for as long as Liverpool Football Club exists. Such an honour far exceeds any trophy or title.

As such, the Anfield Road end at Anfield has a lot in common with the Wirral peninsula on Merseyside. Both gaze upon the greatest sights anywhere in the world.

Of course one of them looks out over the mighty River Mersey, at the finest waterfront in the world. The other, at the greatest football terrace in all of football.

It was from a seat in the Anfield Road end that I was privileged to witness the goal Steven Gerrard regards as his best ever.

What a hit, son! Of course I'm talking about the 84th-minute strike against Olympiakos that set us on our way to Istanbul.

In years to come it will be a source of disappointment to Gerrard that he never lifted the Premier League title. However, he is regarded as a living legend irrespective of that gap in his medal collection.

Gerrard is simply the greatest player to have not won that medal. For a spell of five years he would have walked into any team in world football.

Steven Gerrard was Liverpool Football Club. He was a Liddell or a Dalglish, because he embodied the spirit and ethos of the institution. They named the team Liddellpool after Billy Liddell, and for Steven Gerrard they renamed an FA Cupfinal.

Kenny Dalglish might have been cooler than the Fonz, but there are few childhood Dalglish disciples who'd have any qualms in declaring Stevie as the greatest player to pull on the red shirt. After all, our legendary No.

7 was always surrounded with greatness. Gerrard would often have to elevate the club beyond its station.

He won every cup it was possible to win and scored in every cup final. In all he amassed nine major honours, including two FA Cups, three League Cups, theChampions League and the UEFA Cup.

He was also a three-time runner-up in thePremier League. To Liverpool supporters Gerrard is a captain, a Red and a Scouser born and bred. He has achieved what every kid growing up in the red half of the city dreams of.

It is no surprise to see him return to the club in a coaching capacity and nobody would bet against him one day managing Liverpool in the future, and lifting thePremier League title that evaded him during his playing days.

An Introduction... I Guess? - Haaniya's Log - HEAT'D! - Duration: 3:22.

The possible ratio my responsibilities and me doing something about them is like comparing Sully and Boo on a bar graph.

But despite that, I still decided to make YouTube.

Yes, here I am, a normal teenager out here ranting in front of a lifeless camera thinking that people would enjoy watching me talk.

Fantasies, yeah?

*cue intro*

((WE BACK AND IT'S LIT))

Heyo wassup y'all! The name's Haaniya, the 'H' from HEAT'D!

And as you all know, I'm just a beginner at this YouTube thingy.

So, one day about a few years ago...

I was like "Hey, why not make a YouTube channel?

That would be a cool and easy thing to do!" So this year, I was determined to do so but guess what?

Knock knock, 13-year-old me, you played yourself!

Perhaps, the cool part of my sentence is fairly acceptable, but the easy part... na-uh!

For so many days, I've been like: "Okay time to do this". But then I open my camera, and I'm like...

Hi...

It sounds really embarrassing but I've practiced this so many times in front of the mirror.

But once I put the camera in front of me... It's like a whole audience is watching me live!

And the frickin' stage fright just hits the roof!

Just the small lens of a recording camera can make me so nervous

No boy could ever...

Not just in making videos, it's like this in real life too.

I get pretty awkward when another fellow human being would want to have a proper conversation with me.

People are always telling me, "You know, you should talk more." Fam. Do you know how many times I've tried doing that?

..0. b- BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT!1!

The thing is that being a YouTuber is not easy, coming from a person who literally just started being one.

Most YouTubers, these days, don't even need a script.

They just sit in front of the camera and talk for hours!

But honestly, if I attempted to do that, I would 99% be talking bullcrap like...

Yeah... And uhm...

Special thanks to... Barrack Obama...? And Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day...

Without whom... I may not be here. ((Really... that's the best you could come up with...?))

And I would have no idea what I'm doing!

That's basically my whole life... bUT- T- T!! Let's not slide away from the topic!

I honestly don't even know what type of content I can offer.

You can expect bad puns. *shrugs*

Listen, if a dad jokes competition existed, there would still be no chance of ME winning it. That's

Rid-ic-YOU-LOST! *imitates David Tennant's laugh and fails still*

tHAT WAS So bad...

Told you.

And another con about me is that I'd write the script being pretty much satisfied with it,

Then I'd make a video,

But soon after, I'd be anxious to upload it.

And somehow after uploading it, I would still be telling myself that I messed up good!...

Bad...?

Good...? Wait...

Oh, you get the point!

And another thing about me, is that I love to complain.

That's basically what I've been doing this whole time...

yAY!

So yeah...

I'm aware that most people watching this know me in real life.

But if you don't then WHAT AN INTRODUCTION VIDEO!

Okay but everything aside,

I'll try to work hard with every video that I make but let's not expect too much, aye?

Yup! That's pretty much it! ((END MY SUFFERING))

Thanks for watching!

Please like, comment, subscribe

And make sure to share this with your friends and catch up on HEAT'D!

You can subscribe to us right here... Somewhere... I think..

And you can watch Ahmed's video right here.

You can watch Eshaal's video right here.

You can watch Tihaam's video right here.

Aaand yo!

BYEEE~

*blackout*

((phew))

((good lord))

((Oh you thought this was over? LOL think again, frandz))

Next thing I know is that my friends are probably gonna make memes out of this. ((SMH WHY DID I SAY THAT?? oh watevr))

((GOOD DAY!))

Fixer Upper - Tips for Designing an Open Kitchen - HGTV - Duration: 1:28.

A lot of the times when I'm standing in the space

and it's all finished, it's pretty, it's clean,

I really have to step back and remember what

this space was to begin with.

I still remember walking our clients right through here.

This used to be a doorway.

This was their dining room on one side,

and this was their tight little kitchen here.

One of the things I remember is when

we opened up the refrigerator door,

there was no room for anyone to walk by.

All four of us were standing in this kitchen,

and it was super tight.

What I love about it now is that we decided to move the dining

room back more into the living space,

create a cool little butler's pantry for them,

because they needed additional storage,

but now they've got this huge open kitchen.

You could add an additional 10 to 15 more people

all around the island and it would

still be really comfortable.

You know, it's funny, because we do so many

of these older homes, and I think it just depends on what

era the house was built in.

But a lot of times, the kitchen was always the smallest space

in the house, where now I really feel like we're moving

into a new idea of opening up your spaces,

where each space is still defined.

It doesn't have to be completely open.

But now the idea of having family and friends over,

larger spaces for entertaining, gathering around

with your family, I think the kitchen

is just now a much bigger deal.

And that's one of the things I really like

to emphasize in our designs.

How to Simplify Device Model Extraction using an Open Source User Interface - Duration: 10:35.

Hello, I am Franz Sischka, owner of SisConsult Engineering in Germany.

During my career as an applications engineer for IC-CAP, I observed modeling engineers

around the world doing similar things when they do modeling.

I saw that sometimes they can end up with many mouse clicks and other operations to

perform their modeling tasks.

But what they need is, an easy access to plots that display measurement and simulation data.

They need quick access to tuning and optimization of parameters.

And they need a simple tool to compare the current modeling state with previous ones.

But guess what?

IC-CAP also offers incredible programming tools.

And so over time, I developed my own simplified user interface for recurring modeling tasks.

It has become my main tool when working with IC-CAP.

And so I feel it's really something worth sharing with you.

I do hope that with this open-source tool, you will become more efficient in generating

highly accurate models.

Let me now show you how it works.

It presents your selection of plots required for a specific modeling task,

your selection of the corresponding model parameters, buttons for manual tuning or optimization;

and further more,

you can even monitor the history of your modeling steps.

This user interface has been written model independently.

And so it can be applied to all kinds of models and to all kinds of data, be it DC, CV, S-parameters,

noise, time-domain, and so on.

The entire tool including all of the macros and features resides in a separate IC-CAP

model file which I call UTILITIES, and which you can automatically load when starting IC-CAP.

It hosts my best practice macro programs, which are all open source and well documented.

The simplified user interface which I want to demonstrate to you today is located in

DUT Modeling GUI (DUT_MDLG_GUI).

It hosts the setup general modeling GUI; and in this setup on the Extract/Optimize tab,

you see a list of programs which IC-CAP calls, Transforms.

All of them are like sub-programs to the main program which is named Start Modeling GUI

(START_MDLG_GUI).

And this is the program which will be called from your own model file.

But I will provide more details on this later.

Let me now demonstrate all this with a simple modeling example.

The modeling of a Zener Diode in the DC forward, and in the reverse range.

And so I load the model file, Z_Diode_Modeling, which is also included in the download material.

I open the file with the left mouse double-click, and shown on the left side of the window,

is the structure of the modeling flow.

After a quick initialization, the DC forward and reverse modeling is performed.

Followed by an optional model stability check related to extended DC bias and temperature

simulations.

However, due to limited time, this stability check is not covered by this video, but described

in detail in the download material.

Finally, the optimized model is saved to a SPICE deck.

But let's now go step-by-step.

In the setup initialize, the transforms set project name (SET_PROJECT_NAME), define working

directory (DEFINE_WORK_DIR), and reset modeling (RESET_MODELING) are used to configure the

project environment and reset the model parameters.

We are now ready to start the DC modeling.

And, I can show you now the simplified user interface, the main topic of this video.

In DUT DC > Modeling, I select the setup Forward, and then Transform, Do Modeling (DO_MODELING).

This Transform contains the function call to the simplified user interface located in

the pre-loaded UTILITIES file as mentioned before.

All I need to do here is to define two variables.

One is called, Plots, and the other one is called, Parameters.

After clicking the Execute button, I get this window.

In red, we have the measured data; and in blue, the simulated data from the model.

Since no fitting has occurred yet, we see significant gap between the two.

And what do we get now in this GUI?

Do you remember the code from the DO_MODELING program?

The Plot logia_va, is immediately shown.

And the linear plot, marked by a comment sign in variable plots (!ia_va), is available in

the GUI for being selected upon request.

The model Parameters IS, N, and RS are displayed and ready for use, as they are defined by

variable parameters.

Let me now start the demo.

I begin by selecting the Diode parameters IS, and click the tune button to fit the curve.

Once I've got a reasonably good fit, I click on the OK button.

Next, I select RS, and now tune to get close to the ohmic range of the measured data.

When done, I click OK.

At this point, we can fine tune the model parameters using the optimizer.

With the left mouse pushed down, I define the fitting region and hit the R key on my

keyboard to make it the blue optimizer target box as usual in IC-CAP.

Then I select all three parameters and hit Optimize.

With a single click, I can add also the linear plot and check the fit there too.

I define a blue target box on this additional plot and optimize once again.

Now the fit is really quite good, isn't it?

And I achieved it with a single user interface and a minimum of mouse clicks.

We could now inspect the evolution of the parameter values during the current modeling

step by selecting the button Show Model Parameter Evolution (Show MdlParam.Evolution).

On the left are our starting parameter values, and to the right, the final ones.

The values seemed to have converged, and so I hit OK to return to the main GUI.

Here, I can also recapitalate our modeling steps.

This was our starting point, this was the result after the manual tuning, after the

first optimization, and after the last one.

If not satisfied, I could also step back and apply another modeling strategy.

But for this demo, I hit OK, Done, and close the window, and we are back in our model file.

Moving further down the Transform flow, I execute Save Modeling State (Save_Modeling_State)

to save the current status of the model and its parameters for later reference.

The next step is the DC Reverse Modeling which is important to fit well since this mode is

the most commonly used application of a Zener diode.

I select Setup Reverse and execute Transform Do Modeling (DO_MODELING).

We see the same custom UI now aimed at modeling the reverse bias region and showing the reverse

breakdown parameter BV.

Like before, we had specified this plot and parameter by the two variables in the calling

Transform.

I tune the breakdown voltage parameter BV to fit the reverse Zener voltage.

I then optimize the fitting in the blue marked, Zener range.

Well, the measured data shows significantly more leakage current before the Zener voltage.

And this cannot be fitted with the simple SPICE model we have used so far.

And so, we need to improve the underlying model.

I hit OK to close this window and execute the Transform Safe Modeling State to save

the current model status and its parameters.

Let me now show you how we can improve the model netlist and still leverage the same

modeling UI, and even switch between the two netlist versions.

Going to the Circuit tab, we see the SPICE netlist.

And I enhance the simple Diode model used so far with a sub-circuit featuring a second

diode (DRev).

Connected in parallel, but reversed to the primary diode, DMAIN.

I go back to Setup Reverse and re-execute DO_MODELING.

The parameters of the edit Reverse diode have not yet been defined at startup; and therefore,

I click Add Parameters and select the S and N of the new introduced reverse diode.

I do a manual tuning followed by a fitting box optimization.

Well, this looks a lot better, and so I hit OK to close the window.

And like before, I execute Transform Save_Modeling_State.

I can now review and compare the fitting results for all my modeling steps by executing the

Transform, Compare_with_Previous.

In this window, all modeling states, saved by Transform Save_Modeling_State of the current

setup, are shown by default.

But I also have the option Show ALL .mps Files.

And this allows to monitor our modeling progress right from the beginning.

The first entry shows our DC Forward result.

Then comes the reverse modeling with the single diode model.

And finally, the modeling with both the forward and the reverse diode.

Everything looks OK and I complete my modeling by saving the SPICE deck with my fitted parameter

values.

This ends my demo, where we accomplished many useful steps in model fitting via the simplicity

of a simplified user interface.

And please note again that no programming was required.

I hope that you are as excited as I am about this simplified user interface.

And I invite you to try it out in your own modeling project.

Simply copy-paste the corresponding Transform into your project, and that's all.

So, please click the link to download the IC-CAP model files and the documentation.

Thank you, and don't hesitate to contact Keysight Technologies for more information.

125 Moments - Liverpool's new Main Stand, a new era and an emphatic win over the champions - Duration: 6:39.

125 Moments - Liverpool's new Main Stand, a new era and an emphatic win over the champions

Liverpool's Main Stand was constructed in 1894, at a total cost of £1,000. It's modern-day expansion would cost £100 million.

The original stand was largely made of timber and remained unmodified until the 1970s. In the middle of the stand roof was a semi-circular gable, which later included a crest, containing the words Liverpool Football Club.

In 1973 it was expanded to include more seats, better facilities for players and a TV gantry. And so it remained that way until 2016, when new owners Fenway Sports Group made good on their promise to stay and expand Anfield.

The additional seats created raised capacity to 54,000 and, with the possible expansion of the Anfield Road end, the stadium could eventually seat upwards of 60,000 supporters.

The work was completed in a year, with the new stand constructed from behind the old during the 2015/16 season. Liverpool started their 2016/17 season with three away games, to allow the finishing touches to be completed.

Their first home game in the shadow of the new three-tier stand was against champions Leicester City. It was a remarkable occasion and the Reds made sure they weren't upstaged by the bricks and mortar.

At midday Anfield was resplendent, bathed in sunshine, with barely a breeze in the air. Supporters gathered, posing for pictures in all the familiar places, then they stood staring and snapping images of the new construction.

It was monumental, magnificent and imposing, yet still incomplete in areas; words that could easily be applied to the squad that would blow the champions of England apart that day.

With Dejan Lovren sporting a black eye, Ragnar Klavan still struggling with injury and James Milner's continued reinvention as a left-back, Liverpool's back four remained a work in progress.

Lucas Leiva, absent for so long and narrowly avoiding a transfer to Turkey in the summer, was pressed into centre-back, as Jurgen Klopp attempted his own reconstruction job on the Reds' back line.

In the run-up to the game such matters seemed secondary to the occasion. This felt like a cup final or even a festival. Liverpool Football Club had taken a giant leap into the modern era.

So far Liverpool's season hadn't been disastrous. They'd secured four points out of a possible nine and a victory in this game would make it a very respectable start.

Leicester managed to live with them for the first 10 minutes or so, but they couldn't cope at all after that. But for an inexplicable gift from Lucas, they'd have barely made an impression on the game.

The demolition job started on 13 minutes. Milner broke on the left and delivered a delightful diagonal to Roberto Firmino.

The Brazilian's deft touch took him past Robert Huth and gave him the time and space to slide the ball past Kasper Schmeichel.

The ground exploded and the sound felt genuinely enormous. The away end had been indulging in cliches about atmospheres only seconds earlier, words that were now being rammed right back down their throats.

Liverpool's second arrived thanks to an assist from Jordan Henderson, who sent Sadio Mane and Daniel Sturridge racing towards goal.

It looked like Daniel would score, but he unselfishly clipped the ball with his heel to Sadio, who lifted the ball over the hapless 'keeper.

The Reds were comfortable, but a defensive lapse let the visitors back in. Liverpool were attempting to play the ball out from the back when Lucas found himself in two minds.

He hesitated and instead of listening to Joel Matip, who was imploring him to put it out, he decided to play the ball across his own six-yard box.

Jamie Vardy probably couldn't believe his luck as he stroked the ball home. Football has no rhyme or reason sometimes and now Leicester, having barely threatened, were right back in it.

Lucas looked disconsolate, devastated. Then something truly magical happened. While some supporters were losing their heads, the Kop began singing his name. It was a gesture as heart-warming as it was generous.

In the second half Liverpool extended their lead through Adam Lallana in the 56th minute. His blistering diagonal shot from the edge of the box was a real settler, and the Reds grew in stature after that.

Leicester looked like they could concede any time, yet they held on until the dying moments of the game.

Henderson launched a pass to Mane, who showed great pace and strength to outdo the Leicester 'keeper, who had rushed out of the 18-yard box.

Supporters rose from their seats in anticipation, but instead of shooting, he unselfishly squared the ball to Firmino. The Brazilian outsmarted his marker and planted the ball into an empty net.

At 4-1 it was game over and a new era at Anfield was off to a flying start.
