Hey everyone, today I'm going to show you how
to make a pop can pen
it's supposed to be like a ruling calligraphy pen
and I had a video on my instagram where I copied the
lettering from the 'mother' movie, I really liked the style
and wanted to try it myself
so I used the pop can pen my husband made for me
I'm going to show you how he made it
it's really easy, he didn't come up with it and I didn't come up with it
I will link the tutorial that we used to figure it out.
It's a really good tutorial, it's just on someone's website
it's pretty funny too, you should definitely check it out
you'll also be able to download the printable template
that you will use to cut out the nib fro the pop can
Again, that link will be in the description box below.
You will need some tools for this
Most of them will be around the house
First we have the printed template, you can grab this from the link provided
There are three different size nibs but I'll only be showing one
you will need tape, a masking tape and duct tape
a pop can, a dowel which you can probably get from Home Depot
It should be the length and size of a pen or marker
you'll need some scissors and also a knife
First thing we are going to do is
cut the can open
I"m going to start by poking a hole with the knife
please be very very careful
wear gloves if you have them
be sure to be cautious, the edges are sharp and can cut you
warning, be careful!
I'm just cutting around the edge of the pop can now
it's taking me a while, it's not easy
I did figure out that if I turned the can around
and face the blade of the scissors the other way
it was a little easier because the blade
didn't go towards the middle of the can
but towards the outside of the can
just keep cutting until you've finished that side
go ahead and do the same with the other side
again, be very very careful
the edges are very sharp
once you've cut out the ends of the can
you're going to want to cut
a line down the middle of the can
I just looked for the best place to do this
Maybe were I cut out the most from the top and bottom
just cut a straight line so we can open it up
and flatten it out
you'll see that it's really curly because it
was in a pop can shape
so to flatten this out I'm going to put it in
My oven and set it at 500 degress or broil
I put it on broil and left it for 10 mins
Now it's out and make sure you let it cool
because it will be hot
now I'm cutting out the smallest nib size
from the printable template
and this is what you're going to use
to cut out the nib from the pop can
just find a good spot on the can that's not
too dented and work with the curve
that's why I'm facing it up and down the can
then I just taped it down with some washit tape
so it will be easy to remove the tape
i'm just going over the outside with a black sharpie
Now I'm going to cut out the nib
there are two ways to do this
the way that's suggested and the way I did it
I cut out the entire shape
but there is a way that the tutorial suggests
they say to use a hole punch to punch holes
where the nib goes in
that just makes sure that weakest point doesn't get
that harsh cut that could possibly tear
you cut a rectangle and then where the shape goes in
you would hole punch and then cut out the rest
it should look like this whenever you're done
now I'm going to grab a piece of the duct tape
i guess maybe 5 inches long
the one I cut out was too long
then I placed the metal nib
flat on the duct tape just so that it lines up
with the edge of the skinny part of the nib
make sure the tape is totally flat and try to get it
as straight as possible so when you roll
it up it doesn't go in a funny direction
then I placed the dowel on the very edge of the nib
and then curled the nib around the dowel
so I can roll it over on the tape
make sure to keep it steady
and shape the nib a little bit so it rolls easier
also you want to make sure that it's nice and tight
so it doesn't move when you're writing
i'm just cutting of the excess
you'll want to grab some type of scoring tool
so you can score the inside crease
i grabbed the scoring tool from my cricut
then I just wrote down the center with it
this gives it a nice edge
now you'll want to make that curved pen shape
so you could use the template to draw
but I'm just going to do it free hand
it kind of has like a knife shape
draw that on with the sharpie and cut out after you've drawn it
try your best to make it very smooth because
this is the edge you will be writing with
so now you're pretty much done
the last thing recommended is to
light your pen on fire
it won't really light on fire, but heat up the nib
this just make it a little stiffer
you want to make sure you have a cup of cold water handy
so after putting it under the fire for about 10-20 seconds
you just shove it in the cup of water right away
ok and that's it! there's your pen
so now you can make some really cool unpredictable
edgy calligraphy
if you find out you really like it, they do sell these
pens, not the DIY ones so you can grab one
if you get a little more serious.

How an individual can impact the peace in the community? - Duration: 1:45.
By strengthening an individual, how do we spread peace in the community?
It's a little obvious, the answer.
If in your home,
if one person is unhappy, what happens?
The whole home gets unhappy, isn't it?
Similarly,
in a community, in a country, in the society, on the planet,
if each individual is happy,
then naturally, there is global happiness, community happiness
or family happiness
It actually begins with each individual.
What happens in the world is not something random outside.
It's a reflection of what is happening in every single mind.
When it's collected,
in some place, it's shows up. Like in the leadership,
or in the economy, or in our education system,
or in our political system.
But, conflict on the level of the mind,
stress on the level of the mind,
feeling separation on the level of the mind,
as an individual, then creates the same impact in the entire community.
The leadership separates, and the community feels separate,
and everybody marginalizes themselves.
Yes?
So, the solution to peace are many,
and we try it from all different directions,
But we never look to the individual mind and consciousness.
And that must be as much part of the solution,
as anything else.

Can certain geological structures be explained by a global Flood? (Creation Magazine LIVE! 6-20) - Duration: 28:30.
Tillites and chalk beds…
Can certain geologic features be explained by a global flood?
This week on Creation Magazine LIVE!
Welcome to Creation Magazine LIVE!
My name is Richard Fangrad.
and I'm Calvin Smith.
This week on Creation Magazine LIVE our topic is 'Can certain geologic features be explained
by a global flood?'
Yes. Many Bible skeptics have claimed that there is no evidence of a global Flood as recorded
in the Bible when in fact the evidence is overwhelming.
Yes, and creationists have been showing for years now that rapid deposition of hundreds
of meters of water borne sediments resulting in rapid burial and rapid fossilization, rapid fossil formation
is the most obvious explanation for the rock record, not slow and gradual processes typically
championed by most evolutionists.
Yes, to the point where modern evolutionary geologists are now actually promoting neo-catastrophism
that admits many geologic features we see today must have been deposited in giant floods…
Not THE giant flood…
Not the giant flood, just a series of them.
We did a show on that a while back called 'Neo-catastrophism vs uniformitarianism' that was
in season 3, episode 23, and the link for that is on the screen here.
Right.
So in order to discredit the idea of a global flood what evolutionists will typically do
is trot out some very specific arguments they feel creationists cannot explain adequately,
as if that will explain away all of the other evidence that supports it.
Unfortunately many Christians have bought into these arguments.
Yes.
Now the specific arguments we will be discussing today are tillites, which are interpreted
as the left behind rubble from glaciers, and chalk beds, which are huge layers of calcium
carbonate like the famous White Cliffs of Dover in southern England, but there are other
arguments against Flood geology like paleosols which are dealt with on the massive Creation.com website.
It's a fantastic resource so check it out, it's not just the ones we are going to be dealing with today.
Yes. Now, we won't be able to go into much more than an overview today in the short time we
have but we'll put up some links to articles that will provide more details if you want
to dig in further.
What we'll do is start with what the feature is, why long age geologists say it's a challenge
to Flood geology, and then give you the biblical explanation showing it really isn't a problem.
OK, well let's start with tillites and we'll go from there.
Tillites are assumed to be the lithified equivalents of glacial till, which is basically supposed
rubble from glaciers found in the strata of the Earth.
The reason these tillites are supposedly a problem for Flood geology is that many uniformitarian
scientists postulate a number of long-lasting ice ages having occurred over hundreds of
thousands of years, so the 'Late Palaeozoic' ice age in southern Africa, that's probably the most notable.
So the question is how do you have various till deposits from various ice ages in varying
rock layers included in what creationists say most likely got laid down over the course of
the year long Flood?
Lithified rock is supposed to have hardened by pressure and not the results of being cemented
together in a watery environment.
Well, as usual, the answer comes when you actually question the assumptions behind the conclusion.
Could these deposits claimed to be left over from glaciation periods have been caused by
other processes? Good question.
Well, a classic supposed Late Pre-Cambrian tillite is the Bigganjargga tillite of northern Norway.
It overlies a rock layer in which two striae directions, two different striae directions, two different scratches in the rocks, a sharp North West–South East set overlying
a faint East–West set, were embossed on the sandstone below.
Striations by the way are grooves or scratch marks, ridges in rocks. That's what we are talking about here.
Now three specific features identified this as a supposed tillite.
Firstly, 1) Two subparallel sets of layers are supposedly indicative of glaciation.
Number 2) One author claimed to have observed striated and faceted clasts within the tillite.
And 3) The top layer of the tillite is composed of thin beds containing clasts larger than
the thickness of the bedding, which is reminiscent of dropstone varvites.
Dropstones are isolated fragments of rock found within finer-grained water-deposited
sedimentary rocks.
They range in size from small pebbles to boulders.
Now these three characteristics of the Bigganjargga tillite are the main diagnostic features for
an ancient ice age and so most geologists accepted, without question, that the tillite
was a remnant of the Late Precambrian 'ice age'.
OK so how do creationists understand this?
We'll be back in just one minute to show you how!
Most people know that pollen can cause problems for those who suffer from hay fever.
But did you know that pollen is also a major problem for the evolutionary interpretation
of the fossil record?
Since the 1960s, the scientific literature has reported the presence of pollen and spores
within a rock layer called the Roraima Formation in South America.
This formation is supposedly over 550 million years old, yet according to evolutionary theory,
flowering plants that produce pollen didn't evolve for another 390 million years!
So why do we find pollen in the fossil record so long before the first flowering plants appear?
The simplest explanation is that the fossil record doesn't represent the evolution of
life on this planet over eons of time, but is better explained as a consequence of the
year-long global flood of Noah and its aftermath.
This is recorded in the book of Genesis, chapters 6, 7, and 8.

Well if you've just tuned in, this week we are talking about 'Can certain geologic
features be explained by a global flood?' and in particular we were talking about, right now, we'll get to another one in a minute, tillites.
Yes and specifically we are talking about the Bigganjargga tillite which is supposedly a slam dunk example of these things.
So how do creationists explain this?
Well recently, a more in-depth analysis has indicated that this classical tillite is very
likely a submarine debris flow.
Yes. Underwater debris flow.
Scientists investigating this discovered that this feature was found to have been made by
rocks sliding along soft sandstone, specifically because some of the clasts are embedded in the sandstone.
Moreover, clast imprints on the sandstone have the same random spacing as in the 'tillite' above.
Now the sandstone had been assumed to be lithified, which means a process of hardening without
water, and older than the tillite which was supposedly another argument against Flood geology.
The sandstone had been dated 150 million years old but because of these soft-sediment deformation
features the investigators now suggest this time gap is not real, go figure.
Also the matrix and the clasts in the 'tillite' are rounded.
This is very unlike a glacial till.
The rocks in the 'tillite' show flow layers around the clasts indicating an underwater mass flow origin.
Marine deposits are also closely associated with the so called 'tillite'.
Investigators Jensen and Wulff-Pedersen conclude this: "The evidence for a debris flow origin for
the Bigganjargga diamictite [a non-genitive term for till-like rock] seems
compelling; the diamictite is massive and has random fabric, mound formed top, marginal snouts
snout(s), projecting boulders and a striated pavement."
So the implication of this result is that the 'main diagnostic features' for this
ancient 'ice age' are really not diagnostic at all!
It's been known for a long time that the features of a 'tillite' cannot be distinguished
from a debris flow.
Early workers didn't concern themselves with distinguishing between the two processes
and just assumed ancient glaciation.
So its no surprise that the strata from the Earth have so many remnants of these ancient 'ice ages' if they aren't actually remnants for ice ages.
So these claimed ancient ice ages are very likely submarine, or underwater debris flows — a process
that is consistent obviously with a global Flood.
You can check tillites off of the list of geologic features that can't be, supposedly,
explained by a global flood.
Well, what about chalk beds? Chalk beds found all around the world.
Most people would have heard of, or seen (whether in person or in photographs), for example the famous White
Cliffs of Dover in southern England.
The same beds of chalk are also found along the coast of France on the other side of the
English Channel.
The chalk beds extend inland from England and northern France, being found as far north
and west as the Antrim Coast and adjoining areas of Northern Ireland.
Extensive chalk beds are also found in North America, through Alabama, Mississippi and
Tennessee (the Selma Chalk), in Nebraska and adjoining states (the Niobrara Chalk), and
in Kansas (the Fort Hayes Chalk). There's three different chalk layers in the US.
So the Latin word for chalk is creta.
Those familiar with the geological column and its evolutionary time-scale will recognize
this as the name for one of its periods—the Cretaceous.
Because most geologists believe in the geological evolution of the earth's strata and features
over millions of years, they have linked all these scattered chalk beds across the world
into this so-called 'chalk age', that is, a supposedly greater period of millions
of years of chalk bed formation.
So What Is Chalk? What are we talking about here?
Well it's a porous, relatively soft and fine-textured substance.
Its normally white or nearly white and consists almost wholly of calcium carbonate.
It is thus a type of limestone, and a very pure one at that.
Now under the microscope, chalk consists of the tiny shells of countless billions of microorganisms
composed of clear calcite set in a structureless matrix of fine-grained calcium carbonate.
Foraminifera and coccolithophores being two of the main microorganisms in chalk.
This is the point where critics, and not only those in the evolutionist camp, but just long-agers in general, have said
that it is just not possible to explain the formation of these chalk beds in the White Cliffs
of Dover via the geological action of the Flood.
And we'll discuss this in detail when we get back…

On this week's episode we are talking about, 'Can certain geologic features be explained
by a global flood?'
And the feature we were discussing were the massive chalk beds evolutionists point to
in order to try to discredit the idea of a global flood.
Most geologists believe that 'the present is the key to the past'.
If chalk is made up of accumulated microorganisms, then they logically look to see where such
microorganisms live today, and how and where their remains accumulate.
Now, the deep-sea sediments on the ocean floor today have an average thickness of about 450 metres,
and it is on the deep ocean floor that the purest calcium carbonate-rich 'ooze', as it's called, has accumulated.
There are a variety of different sediments that blanket the deeper ocean floor.
Amongst these are what are known as oozes, so-called because more than 30% of the sediment
consists of the shells of microorganisms.
Indeed, about half of the deep ocean floor is covered by light-coloured calcareous, calcium
carbonate-rich ooze generally down to depths of 4,500–5,000 metres.
Geologists believe that these oozes form as a result of these microorganisms dying, with
the calcium carbonate shells falling slowly down to accumulate on the ocean floor.
This slow accumulation is how most geologists believe that these chalk beds originally formed.
Now the chalk beds of southern England are estimated to be around 405 metres thick and
are said to span the complete duration of the so-called Late Cretaceous geological period,
estimated by evolutionists to account for between 30 and 35 million years of evolutionary time.
Right. So a simple calculation reveals that the average rate of chalk accumulation therefore, over
this time period, is 1.16 and 1.35cm per l,000 years, which is right at the lower
end of today's observed accumulation rates.
Right, so evolutionary geologists feel vindicated, and the critics insist that there
is just too much chalk to have been originally deposited as calcareous ooze by the Flood.
Well, you can see what's going on here, can't you?
Bible skeptics abandon the idea of a global Flood, then they apply uniformitarian ideas
to what we observe and say that the explanation disproves the Flood, which is the very thing
you discarded out of hand in the first place.
What happens when you start with the idea that the Flood actually DID happen?
Well, two creationists have done just that and have done much to provide a Bible based
response to these objections against Flood geology.
Geologists Dr Ariel Roth of the Geoscience Research Institute (in Loma Linda, California)
and John Woodmorappe.
First of all, reproduction rates of these microorganisms could have easily been vastly
higher than today.
Yes, Roth argues that, 1) if a high concentration of foraminifera of 100 per litre of ocean
water were assumed, 2) a doubling time of 3.65 days, and 3) an average of 10,000 foraminifera
per gram of carbonate, then just the top 200 metres of the ocean would produce 20 grams
of calcium carbonate per square centimetre per year, or at an average sediment density
of 2 grams per cubic centimetre, which is a deposition rate of 100 metres in 1,000 years.
Yes, and that's not all.
Coccolithophores on the other hand reproduce faster than foraminifera and are amongst the
fastest growing planktonic algae, sometimes multiplying at the rate of 2.25 divisions
per day.
Roth suggests that his rates show it's possible to produce an average 100 metre thickness
of coccoliths as calcareous ooze on the ocean floor in less than 200 years!
So these carbonate-secreting organisms at optimum production rates could produce all
the calcareous ooze on the ocean floor today in the last 2000 years easily.
However, that doesn't tackle the biggest problem.
As helpful as these calculations are, they overlook one major relevant issue — these
chalk beds were deposited during the Flood so the shells that are now in the chalk beds
would have to have been produced during the Flood itself, not in the 1,600–1,700 years
of the pre-Flood era.
Why? And how can we explain it?
Well, we'll be back shortly. Stay with us…
How would our view of dinosaurs change if scientists found carbon 14 in their bones?
Well, a group of geophysicists claimed to have discovered exactly that—carbon 14 in
dinosaur bones!
This is indeed a shocking proposal for those who believe that the last dinosaurs died out
65 million years ago, because carbon 14 decays so fast that it could not possibly survive
that long.
There should not be one atom of carbon 14 present in dinosaur bones, if they really
are as old as is usually claimed.
After going to great lengths to rule out contamination, the researchers concluded that they had indeed
found carbon 14 in dinosaur bone.
These results seriously undermine the evolutionary story of long ages of earth history.
However, they fit nicely with Biblical history, whereby dinosaurs lived only thousands of
years ago, with their fossils forming from animals buried during Noah's Flood.

Our subject this week is 'Can certain geologic features be explained by a global flood?'
And we're still discussing the massive chalk beds evolutionists point to in order to discredit
this idea that there was a global flood.
Yes, we're saying that during the Flood the shells that are now in the chalk beds
would have to have been produced during the Flood itself.
Why, and how can we explain that?
Well the majority of Creationist geologists regard these Upper Cretaceous chalks as having
been deposited very late in the Flood.
That being the case, the shells in the chalk beds would have to have been produced during
the Flood itself, not in the years of the pre-Flood era because then these chalk beds
should have been deposited sooner rather than later during the Flood event.
Now scientists recognize that even today shell accumulation is not steady but highly episodic,
and under the right conditions significant increases in the concentrations of these marine
organisms can occur, just like plankton 'blooms' and red tides for example.
There are intense blooms of coccoliths that cause 'white water' situations in
the waters near Jamaica where microorganism numbers sometimes have been reported increasing from
100,000 per litre to 10 million per litre of ocean water.
Now the reasons for these blooms are poorly understood, but suggestions include turbulence
of the sea, wind, decaying fish, nutrients from freshwater inflow and upwelling, and temperature.
Without a doubt, all of these stated conditions would have been generated during the catastrophic
global upheaval during the Flood, and thus rapid production of carbonate skeletons would be
possible obviously.
Quite clearly, under cataclysmic Flood conditions, including torrential rain, sea turbulence,
decaying fish, and other organic matter, and violent volcanic eruptions associated
with the 'fountains of the deep' breaking up, explosive blooms on a large and maybe repetitive scale in
the oceans are very realistically conceivable.
So the production of the necessary quantities of calcareous ooze to produce the chalk beds
in the geological record in a short space of time at the close of the Flood is also
realistically conceivable.
Yes. Violent volcanic eruptions would have produced copious quantities of dust and steam and could
have reduced ultraviolet radiation levels from the sun.
However, in the closing stages of the Flood the clearing and settling of this debris would
have allowed increasing levels of sunlight to penetrate to the oceans.
And ocean temperatures would have been higher at the close of the Flood because of
the heat released from volcanic and magmatic activity, etc., and would have also been conducive
to these explosive blooms, more temperature.
In addition, the same volcanic activity would have potentially released copious quantities
of nutrients into the ocean waters, as well as lots of CO2, so those are necessary for
the production of the calcium carbonate by these little microorganisms.
Yes. Situations have been known where pollution in coastal areas has contributed to the explosive
multiplication of microorganisms in the ocean waters to peak at concentrations of more than
10 billion per litre. Can you swim in that? I don't know, you can float in it!
So adapting some of Woodmorappe's calculations, if the 10% of the earth's surface that now
contains chalk beds was covered in water, near the end of the Flood rather,
and if that water explosively bloomed with up to 10 to the 13th microorganisms per cubic
metre of water down to a depth of say less than 500 metres from the surface, then it would
have only taken two or three such blooms to produce the required quantity of microorganisms
to be fossilized in the chalk beds that we see today.
And this just isn't some kind of defensive argument we're proposing here. That all of these conditions might
have happened just to try and justify the Biblical timescale.
The facts we observe today demand rapid formation of these chalk beds, not 'millions of years' explanations.
That's right!
The purity of these thick chalk beds worldwide testifies to their catastrophic deposition
because, over millions of years, if we go with that scenario, lots of other sediments would have been mixed in with the chalk.
It strains believability to expect that massive contamination events depositing other types
of sediments wouldn't have occurred.
That's right!
The only additional material in the chalk that we see is fossils of macroscopic organisms such as
ammonites and other molluscs, whose fossilisation also requires rapid burial because of their size so this fits again with flood deposition.
So once again it turns out that the Biblical explanation of history makes better sense
than the evolutionary history.
And we'll be back with a little bit more in just a minute…

Welcome back. That's been kind of a fun episode to do looking at tillites and chalk beds and showing how the Bible makes a lot better explanation but we want to
switch gears a little bit . This is the 'In the News' section where we take a look at something having to do with the creation/evolution debate in the popular news.
there's always something. Well here's one.
Let me read a bit of this report titled "Armor Up!
Water Fleas Grow Helmets and Spines for Battle". So it says, "Water fleas prepare for battle
by growing armor that's customized to specific enemies, new research finds.
Tiny Daphnia species develop impressive protective structures as they mature, including pointy
tail spines and tough helmets.
Now, researcher Linda Weiss of Ruhr-University Bochum in Germany and her colleagues have
found the neurotransmitters that help water fleas customize their bodies in response to
the chemical cues in their watery environments.
'Dopamine, in particular, appears to code neuronal signals into the endocrine [which are hormone signals]
signals,' Weiss said in a statement.
Daphnia is a genus comprising many species of the tiny crustaceans known as water fleas.
Most are less than 0.2 inches (5 millimeters) long, and look much like translucent versions
of the land-based fleas that give them their nickname.
When juvenile Daphnia molt and develop a mature exoskeleton, they mold their bodies based
on the chemicals they encounter in the water.
The water fleas use appendages called antennules to detect scents and chemicals left by predators
(fish, for example, or the upside-down swimming insects called backswimmers).
They then develop armor defenses in response to the threats they expect to face.
'These defenses are speculated to act like an anti-lock key system, which means that
they somehow interfere with the predator's feeding apparatus,' Weiss said.
'Many freshwater fish can only eat small prey.
So, for example, Daphnia lumholtzi grows head and tail spines to make eating them more difficult'."
Wow. So, here is another example of incredible design, and we've done shows on this type of thing
before showing abilities like this are extremely difficult to explain within an evolutionary paradigm. Design features.
Yes, we've done shows about amazing animals like season 4 episode 10 and
shows like 'When exactly were bad things created?', remember that episode? Where we talked about very similar
things like the grasshopper to locust transformation where they have the exact same DNA,
identical DNA, but because of the epigenetic code they can actually transform from a locust to a grasshopper, back and forth. We mentioned the 'Jeckyl
and Hyde' transformation it's almost like that. And what we emphasize is that sure, creatures are changing all the time, but that's
not evolution. That's one of the key understandings that we need to get across.
Yes things change, but when you see incredible design features like this in little water fleas ability to select
different defense abilities the question is how is such change possible?
Creation just makes so much more sense. Right because all of that information has to be packed into that little water flea and then its got these abilities
to just scan the environment and then oh, I'm well going to need this defense and then I'm going to need this in this environment but another water flea in a different
environment might... So it's got programmed instincts based on the environment to do certain things that are just incredible.
Right so explain that in an evolutionary way that's extremely, extremely difficult to do.
We do that all the time in articles in Creation magazine. The magazine goes out to over 100 countries, it's been going for nearly forty years now.

Can a feral miniature mule change his ways? - Duration: 3:54.
- Hi, it's Maribeth Decker with sacredgrove.com
where people and pets heal and connect.
I'm an intuitive animal communicator,
and I wanted to tell you the story
about my work with Hiccup, the miniature mule.
My friend Mary, who's on the Board of Directors
of Little Longears Miniature Donkey Rescue
in Maryland, contacted me about Hiccup,
probably about a year and a half ago.
He had come into the Rescue, and he would not let them
do the treatment for his bronchial infection,
and he would not let 'em do the treatment
for his hooves, either.
You know I thought about it, and it was like,
why didn't they just do it?
But the truth is, if you're gonna,
just as maybe with children,
or even adults who have been abused
or in a tough situation,
you don't build a relationship of love and trust
by physically forcing them to do something
they don't wanna do, right?
It holds true with animals as well as for people.
So they were willing to take the long route
and just naturally let him learn that they were good people.
I wanted to help 'em speed up the process so he felt better.
So I connected with Hiccup, and I found out
from his experience all people were bad.
All of 'em, all of us, we're all bad.
So the first thing I did was,
actually taught him discernment, which is the ability
to be wisely making choices,
and what I wanted him to do was discern
between bad people and good people.
So first you gotta tell him,
show him that there are good people in the world,
and I let him see my heart,
and I let him also just get a feel for the people
who are taking care of him, 'cause they are good people.
I connected his heart, his intution which is up here,
the third eye, to start feeling into people,
and seeing if he can tell who's good and who's bad.
And he got it, and somewhere along the way
in our interactions, he allowed them to treat him,
and it was more than one treatment,
probably by this time it was pretty bad infection.
I helped him feel what it might feel like
to stop coughing and wheezing and just breathe freely.
So we took care of his bronchial infection,
and they had to sedate him, but he let 'em do that,
and they took care of his hooves.
I'm so happy about that, you know.
We really helped a guy learn to enjoy life again.
I just saw him over the weekend,
and I heard reports from his people,
that he is enjoying life, he's coming into the barn,
and hanging out with the other, well he's a mule,
but donkeys, and horses, and he's really enjoying himself
and he's trusting some of the people,
and he has a big horse, Smoke, that he adores,
and so the guy, still limited in who he trusts,
but he does trust the people
and the animals he's living with.
That's great, right?
I was so glad to be part of that situation
in the small way that I could to help
maybe speed up the process that was gonna happen anyway.
So you know, more stories, I'd love you just to hear 'em.
Go to my website sacredgrove.com
There's a blog section with stories about animals
that I've worked with, and I'm glad you listened to this.

DOLE WHIP CHALLENGE: Can You Top This Recipe? - Duration: 3:11.
Hey everybody it's Julia and Ben from Konkin Can Do.
If you saw our previous video on Dole Whip, you know that we have scoured the internet
just to find a recipe that comes close to the Disneyland Dole Whip.
Fail!
We came across some pretty good ones, but nothing really was even close.
If you've ever had it, you know it.
It is tart, it is sweet, it is delicious.
It is magical.
After we tried all the recipes, we went to the lab.
I say, this laboratory of yours is a wonder of engineering.
And came up with our own recipe which is definitely closer in our humble opinion to the real deal.
The first ingredient, and the most important,
is the frozen pineapple.
Second ingredient we're using it powdered sugar or icing sugar and last is canned coconut
milk.
We're using light coconut milk, but thats totally up to you.
Alright Ben, let's whip it up.
It's pretty darn good and it doesn't have dairy in it just like the stuff at the parks.
So, that is the closest we could get to the real Disney Dole Whip.
It's definitely not the same as Disneyland.
You can't replicate the magic like Disneyland.
Or can you?
We challenge you.
Challenge accepted.
So feel free to try it out and if you find something that's better, hit us up.
Leave it below.
hit us up.
Please do cause we will try it and we will probably make a video and we will critique
you for everyone to see.
Check out our other video on trying the other types of Dole Whips, try this, see that it
is better cause it is way better, and let us know what you think.
Yeah!
Thank you guys so much for watching, this was Konkin Can Do.
Subscribe, like, comment, do all of that stuff or nothing, whatever, yeah, nothing.
Is that you doing nothing?
Yeah, I'm twiddling my thumbs.
I'm going to eat some more of our Dole Whip.
Okay, yeah it's getting melty now we've been filming for too long.
If we were in Disneyland we would have it all down our hand and arm.
That looked really creepy.
I won't do that again.
You know what it's like, sticky on the hands.
yeah.
Anyways, Konkin Can Do out.
Later, bye.

Your choice in exercise can lead to healthier eating - Duration: 1:48.
We've just come out with new research here at UWA that shows the psychological
factors relating to exercise can influence the way we behave afterwards
and specifically it can influence what we what we eat afterwards and the type
of foods that we consume in the hours that follow. The way you go about
exercise more specifically will influence how you react to different
foods after exercise so what we show that specifically limiting choice in an
exercise session actually resulted in more unhealthy food choices after
exercise and more food was consumed overall after exercise after limiting
that choice. So we asked 58 moderately trained
healthy men and women essentially average Joe they came into our study and
they were either randomized to a condition whereby they had choices about
their exercise session or they were specifically told that someone else had
choice about what they would be doing but they themselves had to exercise in a
specific way. Now after that we gave them a buffet style breakfast meal and they
didn't actually know that we were measuring their food intake but
everything that they ate we measured and we actually saw these differences
between the two groups so specifically we found that those who had limited
choice and their exercise consumed almost double the amount of unhealthy
food than their counterparts that had choice and therefore more food overall
which has implications for overall weight gain and maintenance so I guess
the message from here is simple. Have choice in what you do in exercise you
don't have to be told what to do make it your own and make it personal and from
there you'll be less likely to seek rewards after exercise in terms of food
if you enjoy it you'll be less likely to seek those rewards after.

Can AI Predict the Future? - Duration: 7:13.
hello ladies gentlemen and persons in between my name is Tim Snowborn and
today we're going to consult the Oracle of artificial intelligence to see into
the future on this episode of serious issues so I've talked before about the
insane amount of data that is generated every minute of every day on the
internet and the tools for analyzing that data and finding trends and
patterns and associations among the data and perhaps the craziest use of those
tools that I think we're going to see in the not-too-distant future is the
ability of artificial intelligence to predict the future this is called
predictive analytics this is already happening in relatively small scales in
different fields AI can't predict the future with perfect accuracy I doubt
that it ever will but it can already predict the future with a high degree of
accuracy in certain fields and I think that as computers become more powerful
and the tools for collecting and analyzing data become more and more
sophisticated AI will be able to predict the future with greater and greater
accuracy in the decades to come which has all kinds of crazy implications so
here are five fields in which I think predictive analytics is going to have a
huge impact in the future number one sports scores you've seen Back to the
Future 2 you remember the Almanac imagine how the world would change if
everyone had access to that sports Almanac I hate to be the bearer of bad
tidings for all your fantasy football players out there but who's gonna want
to play when everyone knows who's gonna win and what the scores likely to be the
bookies who take bets on sporting events will go out of business because people
will be able to know which teams are gonna win and which team's gonna lose
and what the scores are gonna be ticket sales for live games will go down
because who's gonna want to attend them if they know that their team is going to
lose number two health issues we can already sequence everyone's genome and
predict how likely they are to develop one disease or another in the next
decade or two AI will be able to predict with a pretty high degree of accuracy
whether or not you're going to develop a certain condition by a certain date or
at a certain age it'll be just it'll just be easier and easier to predict if
and when you are likely to develop a certain disease and that will
revolutionize health care and insurance assuming we still have private insurance
in America by this time your insurance agency will know pretty far in advance
whether you're going to develop a certain disease if they were benevolent
they would prepare for that and try to treat you in advance to prevent it but
being the carnivore capitalists we all know they are they'll probably just drop
you from your insurance plan before you get sick knowing which health problems
you're likely to develop will obviously help you prepare for those problems in
advance this along with other advances in medical technology will likely result
in longer lifespans although if we don't figure out how to reverse or at least
slow the aging process it could mean that you're just gonna end up an ever
more grotesque pile of wrinkles in fact AI may even be able to predict when and
how you die barring any ironically unforeseen accidents number three
natural disasters now obviously the weather is subject to the butterfly
effect which is part of the reason that I think that AI will never be 100%
accurate at predicting the future but I think that AI will make predicting the
weather much more accurate than in the future again back to the future to
remember when it was raining and Marty didn't want to get out of the car and
Doc Brown said hang on a minute and then it stopped raining a minute later well
this is going to extend into natural disasters even earthquakes I've seen
headlines saying that they're working on helping AI to predict earthquakes in the
future but certainly AI will be able to predict hurricanes much much sooner and
be able to predict the path of the hurricanes much much sooner and people
will be able to evacuate much much sooner the AI will probably even be able
to estimate the damage caused I guess we can already predict tsunamis pretty well
I mean AI might be able to sharpen that but we've kind of got that covered
number four the stock market again like the weather the stock market is very
much subject to the butterfly effect there's almost an infinitude of
variables that have to be factored in to know how the economy is going to go one
way or the other but I still think that a powerful enough a I is up to the task
and that's going to have implications for the stock market knowing the future
is going to be able to allow stock traders to know which stocks to sell in
which to buy and this will eventually filter down to you and me eventually we
will have access to some kind of software that's going to be able to tell
us the rise and fall of the stock market and we will know which stocks to sell in
which to buy I don't know if this is gonna be a good thing for the stock
market or a bad thing for the stock market but I really think this is going
to happen in the next decade or two number five the last area that I think
predictive analytics is going to have a big impact is in elections analytics is
already being used to predict election and predict which bills are going to
make it through Congress but I think that in the future again as computers
get more powerful and the tools for collecting and analyzing data get more
and more sophisticated we're going to be able to predict
elections and legislation without greater and greater degree of accuracy
analytics is already being used to predict voter turnout and voter behavior
and help campaigns figure out when where and how to reach a given voting block
with a certain candidates message now if a I can predict who's going to win an
election and how legislation will move through Congress that's going to go a
long way toward predicting the stock market because it's going to know which
legislations gonna pass and how that legislation is going to affect the stock
market this leads me to an unofficial sixth thing that I think impacts all the
other areas that I mentioned so far one of the many factors that AI is going to
have to consider when it tries to predict the future is the impact of its
previous predictions on the world it's going to have to think to itself okay I
predict that this is what's going to happen this is what the humans are going
to do in response this is how it's going to change that prediction and here's the
new prediction and around and around we go eventually it'll reach a kind of
psychic singularity an unavoidable cycle of influence in which new predictions
are made based on the old ones and who knows what it's going to do then maybe
it'll be like that story the evitable conflict if any of you ever read the
Asimov series I Robot the actual books not that movie where there were those
four supercomputers basically ran the world and told us how to optimize our
resources so that everyone would have a high standard of living so tell me what
you think do you think that AI can or will be able to predict the future what
kind of impact do you think that's going to have on the world in the coming
decades I appreciate you joining me for this conversation I look forward to
reading your thoughts in the comments below if you like this video thank you
in advance for subscribing please check out my other videos for previous
conversations and please join me for future ones my name is Tim snow born and
we'll talk more next time

CAN THE NSA USE TELEPATHY TO READ YOUR MIND & INVADE YOUR PRIVAC - Duration: 8:20.
CAN THE NSA USE TELEPATHY TO READ YOUR MIND & INVADE YOUR PRIVACY?
A TWEET FROM EDWARD SNOWDEN BEGS THE QUESTION
As most of you know, Edward Snowden is the former intelligence contractor who leaked
the NSA�s mass surveillance program and discovered some of the most solid evidence
for the existence of clandestine black budget operations.
But did we really need the leak in order to believe this?
Prior to his leaks, the issue was still considered a conspiracy theory by many, despite the fact
that there was still good evidence for these programs prior to Snowden�s revelations.
The United States has a history of government agencies existing in secret for years.
The NSA (National Security Agency) was founded in 1952, but its existence was hidden until
the mid 1960s.
Even more secretive is the National Reconnaissance Office, which was founded in 1960 but remained
completely secret for 30 years.
Today, there are still a number of issues that hold the stigma of �conspiracy theory,�
despite the fact that we have some very credible sources that have revealed some intriguing
facts, and one of these issues falls into the realm of parapsychology, the study of
phenomena ranging from mental telepathy, clairvoyance, to psychokinesis, remote viewing, and much
more.
Just imagine how useful those things would be to �spy� on people?
No doubt a great asset to the surveillance state if they are indeed real, which in my
opinion, a lot of evidence suggests they are.
A classic example comes from the U.S. government�s �Stargate� program, which lasted more
than 20 years.
The program was actually declassified about a decade ago and the results were published
in the journal Scientific Exploration.
The program studied various uses for parapsychology and extended human capacities, like telepathy,
but was terminated despite the fact that it was very successful with little to know explanation.
The program was run by intelligence agencies, like the CIA and NSA, in conjunction with
the Stanford Research Institute (SRI).
So, as you can see, this is not strange territory for intelligence agencies.
In fact, in 1976, before this program commenced, a presentation was given at the Institute
of Electrical & Electronics (IEEE) on a paper published by the institute on behalf of Doctors
Hal Puthoff and Russell Targ, two of the main scientists involved with project Stargate.
(See related article �Cancelled TED talk: Physicist contracted by CIA shares everything
he knows about ESP�).
Even in 1975, the funding clients had agreed that this subtle perception channel existed
in both experienced and inexperienced individuals.
(Source, a lecture from Ingo Swann, one of 500 highly skilled participants within the
program).
The paper was titled �A Perceptual Channel For Information Transfer Over Kilometer Distances:
Historical Perspectives and Recent Research.� It presented scientific evidence for the existence
of a perceptual capacity channel whereby certain individuals are able to perceive and describe
remote data not perceivable to any known sense.
A CIA document titled �Chronology of Recent Interest in Exceptional Functions of The Human
Body in the People�s Republic of China� is also another great example of their interest.
In the document, it outlines the Chinese government�s interest in parapsychology (remote viewing,
telepathy, psychokinesis, etc.).
Here is another one titled �Research into Paranormal Ability To Break Through Spatial
Barriers� that touches upon the same thing.
This is elaborated on later in the article.
This particular document, which was declassified through a Freedom of Information Act request
(FOIA), outlines specific people with very special abilities and how they�ve been studied
by thousands of scientists and governments around the world for a very long time.
The document is on the CIA website, but only seems to be accessible from the Internet Archives,
a San Francisco�based nonprofit digital library with the stated mission of �universal
access to all knowledge.�
These facts were also outlined in a declassified U.S. Air Force report on teleportation, which
was made available through the Federation of American Scientists.
So, Where Does Snowden Come In?
On October 31st 2016, Edward Snowden retweeted a tweet from NYT Minus Context that said,
�Remember that people don�t have access to your secret thoughts and feelings.� His
tweet was a response to massive global surveillance, and the fact that nobody really has any privacy
anymore.
NWY Minus Context was trying to remind people that not everything can be under the watchful
eye of the NSA.
The thing that�s confusing is the fact that along with Snowden�s retweet, he responded
with, �Well, most people.� See below:
screen-shot-2017-01-21-at-12-30-56-pm
Now, Snowden could have simply been implying that the NSA is capable of collecting so much
data on so many people that they can determine your thoughts, your next move, how you think,
and what you feel.
They probably have systems and algorithms in place to make predictions about this based
on your online activity and more.
On the other hand, he could have also been implying that yes, these people do actually
have the ability to, if need be, read your mind.
When I saw this tweet, I was taken back to a lecture given by Ingo Swann, one of the
multiple main participants within the CIA�s Stargate program.
Swann was able to successfully describe and view a ring around Jupiter before scientists
had any idea that it existed.
This took place before the first ever flyby of Jupiter by NASA�s Pioneer 10 spacecraft,
which confirmed that the ring did actually exist.
The results were also published and declassified in advance of the ring�s discovery (source).
In the lecture, Swann describes some of the remote viewing exercises that went on during
the program, and, along with remote viewing (the ability of individuals to describe a
remote geographical location up to several hundred thousand kilometres away from their
physical location) came the concepts of precognition and the ability to perceive what another individual
at a remote location, is thinking.
He stated that, when those concepts came into play, the �men in suits� came in and shut
the program down.
These concepts would indeed be the biggest threats to government secrecy that the world
has ever known.
Paul Smith, a Ph.D. in philosophy and an Army Special Forces intelligence officer who was
also part of the program additionally details specific examples of precognition within the
remote viewing program, and that it worked multiple times.
He does so in his book, The Essential Guide To Remote Viewing: The Secret Military Perception
Skill Anyone Can Learn.
Interesting to think about, and interesting to ponder if Snowden is at all aware of these
programs.
The intelligence community is so compartmentalized that he most likely doesn�t have much information
on anything except for what he was working on.
What do you think?

What Countries Can't You Visit? - Duration: 4:33.
There is nothing better than heading out on a holiday, a vacation, a period of your life
dedicated to exploration, some, like me, even decide to leave their home countries altogether
and move to a different place…after all the world is our oyster….well…some of
it anyway.
It turns out that there are some places that are not so welcoming to outsiders.
Hello and welcome back to Life's Biggest Questions, I am Rebecca Felgate and today
we're asking What Countries can't you visit?
Freedom of movement is a human right and in theory you CAN visit any country you want
given enough funds and will power, but that doesn't mean you should, nor does it mean
you are likely to get out unscathed.
There are some countries that, for westerners at least, are better left alone.
Let's start with our mate North Korea.
China runs flights into North Korea three times a week and up until recently, before
good old Kim made it pretty clear he hates all other nationalities save his own, North
Korea did have a small tourism industry.
These days most foreign embassies have closed down in Pyongyang, although if you are German
or British, our countries still have an embassy there so it would be much safer for us.
That being said, North Korea is an extremely volatile place right now.
Even before Kim Jong Un started testing high kiloton H bombs, tourists like Otto Warmbier
were harmed…now, as the country threatens war, I would not want to visit and become
a potential hostage.
North Korea is arguably safer than Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq, all of which are pretty war
torn right now.
Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq continue to be unstable ISIS battlegrounds, with Syria being
amid a much publicised civil war in which their president, Bashar Al Assad, has been
accused of using chemical weapons on his own people.
What with all the air strikes, terror attacks, chemical attacks, they aren't great places
to be, and to be honest, there aren't really any direct travel routes to these places these
days…and crossing over boarders to enter these countries is pretty dangerous in itself.
Flights to Yemen are limited, and you will not be able to travel there directly from
the US, Europe, or Australia.
It's hard to get in and I am not sure you really want to.
Over two thirds of the country is in need of aid, with disease and famine spreading
like wildfire.
Terrorist Group Al Quaeda is also very present, as are Houthi rebels.
In theory if you were to go, you would be safest in the city of Sana, where the majority
of embassies are – although there is no Australian embassy.
There are a number of countries that, overall, have a pretty strong anti-western feeling.
That is not to say all citizens feel that way or that the entire country is unsafe,
but that most areas pose a high risk.
Most western countries strongly advise against travel to the Central African Republic, South
Sudan, Libya and Somalia.
These countries rank at the very bottom end of the global peace index for a number of
reasons, including widely different cultures that do not celebrate western values.
All of these countries have expressed intolerance to homosexuality and often solo women travellers
have been attacked.
On top of that, the governments in these countries are volatile, South Sudan has a curfew that
bans people going out in the dark…which doesn't particularly sound like a country
I am desperate to visit.
Other volatile countries scraping the bottom of the global peace index include the Ukraine,
The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Pakistan, Russia and Colombia, however I myself have
been to a few of these places and they are fine so long as you know what you are doing.
There is no country in the world you cannot visit, but there are definitely dangerous
areas to be aware of.
Depending on your reason to visit, you may weigh up these dangers and decide to go anyway,
but it is always worth knowing what situation you are getting yourself into and make a sensible
plan as to how you may get out of any worse case scenario.
Some may decide the danger simply outweighs the pleasure of spending time there, which
is totally fair.
Finally though, it is worth being aware that, which you can visit any country, a country
you a travelling to beyond that destination may not like that you have been there.
For example if you travel to Syria, Afghanistan, Iraq, South Sudan, Yemen, Somalia, Libya,
Central African Republic, North Korea and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, most
countries will heavily question you before they allow you back in.
So there we have it, I hope that answers the question of which countries you can't visit….have
you ever been to any of these places in this video?
