Are you wondering if civil engineering has a good future?

It is a good situation for you leading forward.?

In this video we're talking about three key reasons why I believe it is the case coming

up right now.

Hey 1% nation, I'm Jake Voorhees and you were watching Episode 042 of the 1 % Engineer show.

Where empower young engineers to rise to the top 1% of their career.

If you're a young engineer, make sure you subscribe, because I release videos three

times per week on engineering success.

And if you have a specific question about succeeding in engineering.

Comment below and I can make you a video just on that.

All of you know I myself am a civil engineer and I'm going to weigh in on this topic and

a lot of this video has to do with what just happened in the United States last weekend.

Hurricane Harvey smashed into the Houston metropolitan area creating ridiculous amounts

of damage and affecting literally millions of people.

And that is reason number one why I believe civil engineering has a good future.

Natural disasters will always plague our major cities no matter where we are in the world.

And we will have to repair and maintain our infrastructure for ever.

Even if we see no more population growth and no more advanced technologies into infrastructure

and buildings and bridges and theirs and everything like this we will still need to repair.

We will still need to maintain and we cannot control what happens via hurricanes and mudslides

and tornadoes and forest fires they will always always destroy the stuff we have built because

Mother Nature is a ridiculous force of energy and there is no way to avoid it.

And I do want to talk a lot about Harvey and the engineering ramifications that a storm

that an event like this has on our country on our cities like Houston.

Most of the Houston area received over 40 inches of rain and in some cumulation areas

fifty two inches of rainfall.

We're talking about the greatest storm that Texas has ever seen.

And Harvey has set records for the most precipitation a cyclone has ever dumped on the contiguous

United States ever.

Seventeen thousand rescues were made.

Over 30000 people were displaced from their homes and over 60 people have died so far.

It is a tragic tragic very very sorry event.

I cannot believe what has happened there in Houston.

So my prayers go out to all the families all the people who have been affected by this.

I do know some engineers who are actually living in Houston right there.

My buddy Max Schmidt is safe and well so I'm so so happy.

I've been thinking of him this entire time.

And hats off to all of you.

Engineers down there in Texas.

And Martin and Fernando symbiotes you guys are down there you're not in the Houston area

but you are in Texas and I know you're doing everything you can to raise funds and support

the area.

So thank you guys for that.

But the reason why this is very significant for this video is that it's not just Houston

that is seeing crazy flooding right now or the rest of the summer here in 2017.

Bangladesh and India the death count is now up to 12 hundred people due to flooding this

year.

Nigeria has seen a displacement of about 100000 people.

Nepal has had.

Eighty thousand homes damaged and around 140 deaths.

Sierra Leone has seen mudslides that have killed over 500 people this summer.

So it's not just Texas guys all around the world we are seeing insane natural disasters.

I'm not going to start talking about global warming.

I'm not going to start talking about designs to prevent these.

What I do want to talk about is the fact that civil engineers and engineers in general are

required to repair and maintain this infrastructure.

So I really do believe that me as a civil engineer and job security is strong because

of this we're always going to have to clean up what Mother Nature has done.

We're always going to have to fix the things so this alone natural disasters is a massive

massive reason why we're always going to need people like me around people like civil engineers.

All of you 1 percent civil engineers so I believe that the industry is strong.

So that's the main purpose for this video to talk about Harvey and to talk about yes

in this huge tragedy we do see death and I am very sorry to witness this but engineers

have to go and clean up the rubble and fix things and get society back to normal and

fix these roads and with the support of FEMA save as many people's homes as we possibly

can and continue to save as many people's lives as we possibly can.

But we have to clean up dust ourselves off and rebuild.

And that's where the engineers come in.

We will see a huge amount of projects bikes and infrastructure development in that area.

So we just need to get back to work.

The second reason why civil engineering has a strong future is that we see about 80 million

new people on this planet each year we're growing at about 1.1 percent.

Population growth per year on the planet is peaking and about 1960s we're talking post-World

War II era when things were positive in the world and money was flowing very freely.

But still we're adding 80 million people per year.

So more buildings more roads more cars more jobs more everything has to occur.

So we will continually have to build.

And this means more for civil engineers which is job security guys and resume are three

was civil engineering has a good future is that we're always coming out with new technologies

new procedures new ways of producing steel and concrete blocks in our 3-D printing buildings

and things like this.

So we are constantly in this perpetual cycle of things falling into obsolescence things

becoming older and we need to use new techniques we need to use new technologies we need to

deploy new ways of creating bridges and creating buildings.

So we're constantly in a situation where we need to sweep away old techniques and gradually

build better buildings better bridges better infrastructure in general.

So not only do we have population growth not only do we have crazy natural disasters that

destroy things and we have to rebuild.

We're always looking for opportunities to build things better than before.

So it will be stronger safer last longer and everything like this guys.

So those are the top three reasons why civil engineering has a good future.

If you're a civil engineer or you're an engineer in general comment below and let me know what

you think about this video what you agree with what you disagree with.

And if you like this video guys if you're a young engineer make sure you subscribe because

I release videos three times per week for engineering students success.

Thanks for watching the 1% engineer show guys stay hungry on your quest on the water.

Baseball teams have always stolen signs. Here's what makes the Red Sox accusations different - Duration: 6:40.

HARI SREENIVASAN: Baseball has a history of teams trying to gain advantage against a pitcher

by occasionally stealing signs from the team it's playing.

The idea is to relay information to the hitter about what kind of pitch he will face.

There are ways to do it that are acceptable.

�MDNM�But the Boston Red Sox are accused of going too far with it last month against

their rivals, the New York Yankees, and using technology to do so.

William Brangham has the story.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Specifically, the skullduggery being alleged against the Red Sox involves

the use of a video camera and an Apple watch.

The commissioner of Major League Baseball, Rob Manfred, confirmed that Boston used this

technology in a very elaborate process to record and decode the signs that the Yankee

pitchers and catchers used, and then relayed that information to their batters in the middle

of the game.

For more on today's unfolding scandal, and the decades-long history of outwitting the

rules in baseball, we turn to Joshua Prager.

He's a journalist and author.

His 2008 book, "The Echoing Green," chronicled the sign-stealing secret that helped the New

York Giants win the 1951 pennant.

Welcome to the "NewsHour."

JOSHUA PRAGER, Author, "The Echoing Green": Thanks for having me.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, help me break down what the allegation is against these dastardly

Red Sox.

What are they accused of having done?

JOSHUA PRAGER: So, they are accused of using mechanical means to alert a batter to what

kind of pitch is coming.

And there are about 20 or so seconds that pass between every pitch of every game, 280

pitches or so, 20 or so seconds between every pitch.

And that might seem like not a lot of time, but it's actually plenty of time to do all

sorts of stuff to alert a batter what kind of a pitch is coming.

And, ostensibly, most batters will tell you if helps them to know whether a pitch will

be a fast pitch or an off-speed pitch.

And the Red Sox are accused of using a phone and all sorts of quick signals to alert the

batter to what was coming.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, I guess the concern is, the idea is that they somehow used a video

camera to record what the Yankee pitchers and catchers were signaling to each other,

figure out what that means, so that the next time another batter is coming up, that batter

can be somehow tipped off what those signals are and what they mean?

JOSHUA PRAGER: Well, when you watch a baseball game at home, you see the catcher wiggling

their fingers between every pitch.

And when they're doing that, they're telling the pitcher what kind of a pitch to throw.

So, someone on the Red Sox, allegedly, according to Michael Schmidt, The New York Times, was

looking at this, I guess on a television screen, and then relaying that information to a member

of the training staff in the Red Sox dugout, who saw that information by looking down at

his wrist.

And then he simply signaled to one of the players in the dugout.

Michael mentioned two of them by name, Brock Holt and Dustin Pedroia, who then relayed

the sign, it seems, to a Red Sox player, who was probably already on second base.

So, in other words, they didn't use this between every pitch of every game, it seems, but,

rather, they waited for someone to be on second base.

And they did that, because it's very easy when you're on second to then relay the signal

to the batter.

So, that sounds like a lot going on.

You go from the watch to the player, to the man on the field, to the batter.

But, as I mentioned earlier, you have 20 or so seconds, and you have actually -- that's

plenty of time to let the batter know what kind of a pitch is coming.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, my understanding is -- and you have certainly written a whole

book about this -- stealing signs is not considered a taboo thing to do.

You're sort of allowed to do it.

So, what have the Red Sox done here that's the problem?

JOSHUA PRAGER: Not only is it allowed.

It's encouraged.

If you're a batter on -- if you're a runner on second base, and you can peer in with the

naked eye and see what finger signals the catcher is using, and if you can figure out

what that signal means -- and the catcher knows that you're there, so they often change

what the signal means when there's a man on second -- but if you can figure that out and

relay that to the batter, that's encouraged.

That's kosher.

Everyone's happy with that.

But what is not OK is to use mechanical means to do that.

The commissioner is empowered to come down on the Red Sox and say, you cannot do this.

And no doubt he's now figuring out what will be a proper punishment.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: So, that's where the Apple watch comes into this, that that is the mechanical

piece of equipment that is verboten in baseball's rules.

JOSHUA PRAGER: Correct.

And baseball teams have been cheating for as long as there has been baseball.

I wrote a book about the 1951 Giants, who they famously won the pennant with Bobby Thomson's

Shot Heard Round the World.

And starting in the summer, on July 20, they installed a man in center field in the polo

grounds with a telescope.

And when he would spy the sign, he would then press a button that would, via buzzer wire,

make a buzz go off in the right field bullpen.

And the players there in the bullpen would then signal to the batter what pitch was coming.

So, they used a telescope and buzzer wire.

And there are literally dozens of other examples going back to the 19th century.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Is there any sense that you have that all of this creative hijinks

that goes on actually makes a difference in the results of a game?

JOSHUA PRAGER: Absolutely.

If it didn't help teams to know what pitch was coming, they wouldn't go to these great

lengths to steal the signs.

When I interviewed all of the members of the -- all the surviving members of the 1951 Giants,

Bobby Thomson, for example, who hit the Shot Heard Round the World, was very honest with

me.

He said: It helps me enormously.

It helped me enormously to know what kind of a pitch is coming.

If a pitch is traveling 90 miles an hour, a batter has just 0.13 seconds to react to

it.

So, if you can say, hey, I can wait, this pitch is going to be an off-speed pitch, that

will help.

Some batters don't want to know.

Tony Gwynn, famously, wanted to just react to the ball, see the ball, hit the ball.

But most batters, it would seem, very much do want to know.

And that's why, no matter how many times they're told they're not allowed to do it, they will

continue to try to do it.

WILLIAM BRANGHAM: Joshua Prager, thank you so much.

JOSHUA PRAGER: Thanks for having me.

BLACKPINK Jennie and BTS V have something in common - Duration: 1:35.

BLACKPINK Jennie and BTS V have something in common

BLACKPINKs Jennie was recently spotted at the airport dressed completely in Gucci.

Jennies stylish airport fashion has always been a topic of interest, but this time, she really raised the bar.

Everything she wore was from Gucci, including her accessories, like her bag and shoes.

She looked incredibly mature and elegant as she rocked the Gucci power suit.

Its no wonder why everyone calls her the Human Gucci!.

BTS V shares this similarity in that he also owns Gucci as an icon airport look. Everyone knows these two are King and Queen of Gucci, and no one can resist their airport runway looks!.

While V has yet to achieve a full 100% Gucci look….

… he has certainly come close!.

How To Have A Happy Relationship - Duration: 2:30.

One way that people can look at you know one thing we can do to look at our life and create

it as a greater is when you're in a relationship with somebody and you look at that relationship

and you know, your sort of question without realizing that question is what can I create

with this person or how can we fix each others problems or how can we build this house or

how can we make this family, but what we exclude is the rest of the world and the universe

from contributing to our relationship, and our family, and our house.

If you create your life with the universe it includes a much wider picture and a much

greater world which create a much greater result and those people who have really magical

lives that, you know, you see traveling all the time that don't ever seem to have a

problem with money, that really like their bodies whether their big or small.

It's like those people are creating their lives with their family, and their partner,

and the universe.

And the world and you know when you get married often times your point of view becomes it's

me and my partner and this is our world.

That's why I was so afraid to get married because I was like I'm pretty sure I have

to loose my identity if I get married because I've seen so many people completely loose

their identity and they became a unit rather than an individual and and so it's like

if you keep, you know, if you refer to yourself and you honor that relationship, but you also

have to honor you as a person and then that relationship flourishes because you're actually

there, you're not depleted and when you ask to include the universe and create your

life with the universe that creates a totally, totally different thing than if you're creating

based on what's in front of you or what you've see other people create with: family,

you know, your your partner, and whatever you're creating you career and stuff like

that.

So you can ask the question: How can I include the universe in everything I'm creating

in my life?

10 měsíců (months of) fitness: Co jsem se naučil? / What have I learned? - Duration: 9:18.

Teenager one...

Well hey guys and welcome to next video

Today I have a little company with me - dog of my friends Kira

So I decided to make this video in form of walk with her :-)

Well I have been thinking about topic of this video and in last days I remembered the moments

how I was thinking about Fitness 10 months ago when I started.

And I just have to laugh when I remembered how naive I was in these days :D

And compared it with today - And I just thought it might be good video for some of you guys

to you know give you the reality how Fitness life actually works.

If you have not started and you are thinking about it, it could help you maybe in some point of view.

So today I would like to talk to you about this guys :-)

Because when I started to doing Fitness and Bodybuilding 10 months ago

I was really "hrr" into it. I wanted to lose fats fast and get muscles fast etc.

And I was taking in like a "short time" thing you know.

I wanted everything as soon as possible.

I thought that I was gonna like look muscle mountain in three months but that is not possible of course.. :D

And even our mind and thinking can really influence the results...

Anyway guys, the main thing what I have learned during this 10 months is

that Fitness and healthy lifestyle and bodybuilding also is thing untill the end of life - it is really lifestyle

I think that you cant take it as short time thing, like I am gonna build muscles in one week and screw it after that...

And if you take it as lifestyle and longterm thing

so you will not be disappointed in results for example month results.

Because you are ok with ANY results and you know that you are going to do this for another years

And you also will not doing exercises just because of muscles but because you really like it

In first months I was going to the gym

and I wanted to gain muscles in weeks, really fast

I took bigger weights

And I was telling to Radek that I am looser, that I want to push more weights

And he was telling me: "It is not about weights, it is about time and technique..."

And of course I was listening to him but you know still I really wanted fast results.

And that is bullshits because I was dissaponted about my results, my psychique was bad, mood was bad

So I have learned to take it as a lifestyle, as thing which I am going to do at the end of my life

And also: When you start with Fitness, doing it 6 months lets say and after that you will leave it

So you just destroy everything what you have been building in these 6 months.

And If you take it as a lifestyle - You go to the gym because you really want, you like it

And you are not disappointed in small changes because you know there is at least some changes

The changes goes slow, it takes a lot of time and that is the way it is...

So now I go to thy gym because I like it, it is part of my life now...

I do not like into the mirror as often as I used to, I just check if I do not get fats and thats all :-)

So it goes slowly

And this really helps to you psychique because it is also very important.

Because if you go hard, want fast results, you are in stress and this is bad...

And the same as gym is also food: At the beginning I was really be exact on time, exact on grams.

Of course you need to watch everything but do not be stressed about minutes or grams etc.

Just learn you food plan and take it easy just as exercising. Do it because you like it, not because you have to do it...

Kira!

She is strong girl :D

So just take it easy...

And it also helps.

Well this video is guys for more of you who have not started with fitness and you are maybe thinking about it.

Because you can take this point of view from the very beginning and get better results, be more cool and easy.

Because when you reach small results in 6 months but you know you are going to do this for another years

you are really ok. But if you take it like: "I have been doing it for 6 months and I have just this result?" Fu*k it..

Which is really demotivating thing and lot of people leave fitness because of it which is pitty.

So this is all guys from today's talking video, it has been short a bit :-)

Well, I have not thought about video for next week yet

so guys if anyone of you has any questions about anything - you wanna help with food, or about traveling, whatever

Because I think I am able to help you in Fitness finally at least a little bit.

I apologize guys there was wind a lot so I decided to make this part again at home.

What I wanted to say outside: Videos about tutorials how to exercise - I have it in my mind guys

but I still do not feel that I am good enough the learn you and I am also shy to speak to camera in gym in front of people and explain something :D

But mostly I think I am not prepared yet and I need more experience.

But anyway I keep it in my mind and think about it.

And the second think: I do not have video for next week yet so any quiestions guys just ask me in comments of this video.

Can be whatever :-) Fitness, advices, travelling...

If you want help with food, also exercise...

Do not hesitate and if there is 4 - 5 questions I will make QnA video, if not I will make my own :-)

So guys keep going in your goals and dreams, every small piece count.

I will look forward to see you in next video guys.

Have an amazing time guys :-)

I am right Kira? Say hello to our friends

Will you say hello?

No there Kira, come here:D

So what do this and this and this and that have in common.

Well they're all part of this—the United States.

Now I know I'll get plenty of comments like these and for that I'm sorry but this is

going to be another one of those episodes—the America centric ones.

Now, what really binds these islands together is that they're all part of the US because

of this—bird poop.

In the 1700's everyone was farmers.

At the time the world population was starting to increase faster and faster but the share

of people working in farming was staying roughly the same.

All around the world the soil was loosing its nutrients from centuries of farming so

growing was becoming less efficient.

That was all until a guy named Alexander von Humboldt went to Peru and discovered guano

and by discovered, we mean he saw natives doing something and decided he invented it.

Now, sidebar, guano equals bird poop.

According to the beginning of every bad valediction speech in history, the Merriam-Webster dictionary

defines guano as "a fertilizer containing the accumulated excrement of seabirds or bats."

This guano was a miracle fertilizer thanks to its high nitrogen content and the world

became crazy about it.

By the 1850s guano was selling in the US for as much as $75 per pound.

(2017 dollars) That's almost a third the cost of Silver.

People were making their fortunes by importing bird poop and the market in the US was dominated

by only a few key players who spiked up prices.

So, William Henry Seward, the same guy who bought Alaska, introduced a bill in the Senate

which would allow any US citizen to claim any uninhabited island for the US as long

as it had guano.

Guano mania continued.

Businessmen went all around the world to find remote, unclaimed islands with guano and once

they did, these islands were added to the US no matter where they were.

This is how the country ended up with places like Howland Island, a 1.5 mile long piece

of land in the South Pacific and Kingman Reef, a gathering of shells reaching no more than

3 feet out of the water.

So the question was, how do you fit these places into the US.

These islands were not close to the US.

Some were over 4,000 miles away from the mainland.

It didn't make sense to add them as states.

Most had no permanent population.

It didn't even make sense to add them as territories.

The US had to come up with an entirely new classification of land just for these guano

islands: the insular areas.

Any insular area of the United States was considered officially, by the federal government,

a non-integral part of the United States.

They had no path to statehood and no independent government.

In fact, by law, the US didn't even consider these areas as land, they were ships.

Any crimes committed on these guano islands were prosecuted under US Maritime Law.

The only real benefit of these islands being part of the US was that, if another country

tried to claim these islands, the US military would come knocking.

As it turned out, most islands claimed ended up being pretty useless for Guano mining.

Many were like Palmyra Atoll, too wet for the guano to dry into useful fertilizer.

But they weren't completely useless.

They gave the US an enormous exclusive economic zone.

You see, these zones extend 200 miles out from the territory of any country and within

the EEZ, the owning country has exclusive rights to fishing, drilling, and all other

economic activity.

Still today, Americans have these exclusive rights all around the world thanks to bird

poop.

The most fascinating part of the Guano Islands Act is that it is still in place today.

You can still go and add an island to the US if it has bird poop to mine.

Just 20 years ago an American came across Navassa Island between Haiti and Jamaica and

there was guano, so he put in an application to the Department of the Interior to claim

it.

They, however, swiftly rejected the claim since they claimed it was already claimed

a century earlier, but that makes sense since today there are no known islands worldwide

that aren't already claimed by countries but that doesn't mean there will never be.

Small volcanic islands appear all the time and so, if the time is right, you could use

this antiquated law to add your small bit of rock to these United States.

If you do claim an island for the US, you won't want to waste your money on trivialities

like building and setting up a school.

What will be far more efficient will be to have your residents use brilliant.org.

Candace Turns Her Rage on Benny | Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots | Oprah Winfrey Network - Duration: 2:30.

- You went into the bathroom with him,

and you didn't come out with a scratch.

This is not the time or the place for this.

How did you not get shot?

Damn it, Candace, you're saying

that like you wanted it to.

Well.

You shut your mouth. CANDACE: I--

You shut up now.

You didn't protect him.

You did this to spite me.

You did.

You did.

You wanted to hurt me to get even with me.

You just want me to say that you were right.

Can you stop?

Just stop this.

She didn't help him.

The hell she didn't. I was there.

I watched it, and she done more than you ever have.

What?

Yeah, that's enough.

I'm sick of your bull [MUTED].

All you bring is bull [MUTED].

I was there when War came in there looking for you.

All right, he could have killed us all because of what you did.

How can you not see that, Candace?

You don't see that?

She's right.

Why do you always have to be right?

Mommy's right.

You do the same thing over and over.

It's always the same thing with Candace,

over and over, expecting a new result. That's crazy.

It's insanity. I don't even get that.

She didn't do nothing.

She would have died to protect that baby.

I watched her.

She almost died protecting your son.

I'll tell you what, I'm not hearing

one more minute of this coming out of your mouth.

I'm sick of it.

And I'm sick of you!

What?

You.

You, I'm sick of you.

You have been depending on me for everything

since I've been on my own.

Candace, who you--

who you talking to?

You, I'm talking to you!

Calling me for money.

Telling me your fairy tale dreams,

and how expensive things were.

So that's what you think. You think I was begging you?

Yes, you were-- you were begging me!

I'm not begging you. All right?

I'm talking to my sister.

Someone who loves me, all right?

I love you, and that's why I talk to you about these things

I don't got nobody to talk to so I share my dreams with you.

Ain't nobody tell you to sell your ass to help me get it.

Katheryn Delivers the Perfect Threat | Tyler Perry's The Haves and the Have Nots | OWN - Duration: 1:57.

I'm not talking about the date.

I'm talking about coming in here and trying to seduce me

like that young, handsome Jim from 30 years ago,

the one with the golden hair and tight jeans that just

had all you had on display.

I wasn't trying to do that, Katheryn.

You thought I'd fall for it.

You thought I'd just let you walk right in here,

have sex with me, and all would be forgiven.

Do you really think I'm that stupid?

I had no intention of sleeping with you, Katheryn.

I had every intention of coming here

and making love to my wife.

That's what we call this.

Just be honest, Jim.

Just for once.

If there's one thing you are, is a consistent liar.

Tell the truth for a change, OK?

I am not the public.

I am not a politician.

And this is not the campaign trail.

I was not doing that.

Well, it didn't work.

Then tell me something, Katheryn.

Why the hell did you participate?

For this moment right here.

When I tell you that I'm through and I don't want

to see you anymore.

And Jim, if you ever come back here again,

or if you are here when I do get back,

I will take that same gun that I blew Jennifer Sallison's brains

out with, and I will blow yours out just

as easy as I just blew you.
