Dear friends welcome to another video!
In this video, we are going to take a first look at the impressive BBC micro:bit board.
This board, although small in size, is very capable and very easy to program.
But is it better than an Arduino Uno for a complete beginner in programming and electronics?
Let's find out!
Hello, guys, I am Nick and welcome to educ8s.tv a channel that is all about DIY electronics
projects.
In this channel, I share everything about the projects I build to help you develop similar
projects or inspire you to start making things because it is easy, fun and creative.
Subscribe to the channel now if you do not want to miss any future video.
The micro:bit development board is a relatively new development board which was released in
2016.
It is developed with the intention to encourage children to get involved with programming,
electronics and making in general.
The purpose of this board resonates with me because I worked as a computer teacher for
over 6 years in the past and I taught kids to code.
I think coding is a very important skill in today's world, and that's the reason I
created this YouTube channel in the first place; to show people that programming can
be fun and easy to learn!
Thousands of micro:bit boards were given away to every 11-year-old school child in Britain
last year.
Now the board is also available as a commercial product.
It costs around 15$.
I got the micro:bit GO bundle for around 17$ from DFrobot.com website.
You can find a link to it in the description below.
The micro:bit comes in a small box inside which we can find, a safety guide, a small
instruction leaflet, the board itself, a small battery box, two batteries and a USB cable.
Let's now take a closer look at the board.
As you can see the board is very small in size, way smaller than the Raspberry Pi or
even the Arduino Uno.
The micro:bit features a 5x5 led matrix and two push buttons on the front side and some
sensors and microcontrollers at the back side.
But first, let's power it up and see what it does out of the box.
At first, the board welcomes us with some cool animations on the LED matrix, and then
it displays a Hello Message and guides us to press the buttons, shake the board or even
play a small chase the dot game on it.
Cool!
Lastly, the board encourages us to start coding, but first, let's take a closer look at the
hardware of the board because it is very interesting!
The board offers two 32 bit ARM processors at the back of the chip, but only one of them
is available to execute our code on.
The other one is responsible for the USB communication with the computer.
So the Micro bit features the following: A 32Bit user programmable CPU which is clocked
at 16 MHz.
It also offers Bluetooth connectivity, 16 KBs of RAM memory, 256 KB of flash memory,
19 GPIOS pins, I2C, SPI and UART Buses, 3 Analog to Digital Pins; a 5x5 LED matrix,
an Accelerometer, A Magnetometer, A thermometer, and a light meter!
Impressive stuff!
Compared to an Arduino Uno, the micro:bit is much more capable since it features many
sensors, two buttons, and many LEDs!
As a result, all you need to get to start making projects is the micro:bit and nothing
else.
In comparison, with an Arduino Uno board, all you can do is to blink an LED which is
not very compelling to children in an age of smartphones and game consoles.
But, with the microbit board children can build a simple game in minutes so this might
get their attention!
We are not limited to the embedded sensors that the board offers though.
We can use some crocodile clips and have easy access to three pins of the microcontroller!
Of course, we can have access to all the pins of the microcontroller if we use the Edge
Connector Breakout board.
But even without it we can build many projects with this fantastic board.
Let's do just that, let's create a simple project.
There are 5 ways to program this board: • The first one is Javascript
• We can use the Block Editor developed by Microsoft
• Another way to program the board is the Touch Develop interface
• We can also use Micro Python • Lastly, we can use our familiar Arduino
IDE The most fun and easy to way to program the
board is to use the Block Editor.
All we have to do is to open a web browser and visit this website:
https://makecode.microbit.org/ The Block Editor loads up, and we are ready
to develop our first program simply by dragging and dropping commands!
There are commands for everything the board offers.
Simply by dragging the command show string, for example, we can display text on the LED
matrix.
If we place that command inside the On Start block, for example, the text "Hello" appears
on the LED matrix of the simulator.
The commands click together like Lego bricks!
How cool is that!
Also, the Block Editor environment supports many languages.
Microsoft has done a great job on this software!
Programming a development board this way is very fun and easy!
Let's now build our first useful program.
Let's build a thermometer!
When we press button A, the board will display the temperature on the LED matrix.
It won't take us more than a minute!
First of all, we delete all the blocks.
Then from the input tab, we drag and drop the On_Button A Pressed block.
Then we go to the Basic tab we select the show_number block and we attach it to the
On_Button pressed block.
Now, all we have to do is to get the temperature.
We go to the Input tab again, and we drag the temperature command and drop it on the
input of the show number command like this.
We can test our program on the emulator and then we can download the code to the board
itself.
We copy the .hex file that is created and we paste it into the micro bit drive that
appears if we plug in the board to the computer.
Now press the reset button and our first program is running on the microbit board!
Fantastic!
Coding can be so simple and quick!
Have you ever seen a more user friendly programming environment?
I haven't seen anything as easy as this one!
Even though the Block Editor programming environment was designed to be used mainly by kids, I
think it is great for adults as well.
If you are a complete beginner to electronics and programming, this is the best way to start.
Forget about the Arduino or the Raspberry Pi.
Get a micro:bit board.
Learn the basics of programming, like loops, conditional structures, functions and so on.
Build some simple projects with it.
Then, if you are limited by the Block Editor environment, switch to microPython and learn
a real programming language!
After that you are free to move on to an Arduino or a Raspberry Pi to build more complex projects.
Don't just copy and paste the code I or other people provide online.
Learn to code; it is an extremely useful skill to have!
Don't miss the opportunity!
Learning how to code today is extremely easy and fun.
Just get the micro:bit and you are done!
I learned how to code about 20 years ago when I was in high school.
We were taught GW-Basic under DOS, and we were typing text commands on a black window,
and all we could do was to make some calculations or to display some text on the screen.
Using the knowledge, I got from School I managed to program my friend's Commodore 64 for
the first time to display some custom text.
That was the first program ever developed, and I was so excited.
As you can see I am still excited about programming, programming became my career.
So, as a final word, if you want to learn how to program, I truly believe this is the
best way to start.
I would love to hear your opinion on this board.
Do you also think that this the best development board for a beginner?
Do you know any boards that are even better than the Micro:bit board?
Also, if you are an experienced programmer, I would love to know on what machine you learned
how to code.

Spring is Coming! Dalgety Bay to Aberdour Chatty Vlog | Kate's Adventures - Duration: 16:21.
Hi everyone! Today when I woke up it was a beautiful sunny day
and it was the sort of day where I just didn't want to stay inside at all.
So here I am again, I'm gonna walk to Aberdour from Dalgety Bay
we've got the radioactive beach here
and I think I'm gonna answer some questions
and just have a little chat on the way to Aberdour.
Now if you've watched my channel before you're maybe thinking
haven't I seen this before?
Haven't we seen the radioactive beach and the castle and everything else?
You have. So this time
I'm going to be doing just more of a chat really
we'll have some nice scenery in the background
but ultimately it's just gonna be a bit of a chatty vlog.
If you want to see the version of this walk
where I go into great depth about the different landmarks
I'm gonna link it down below so you can check that out
but otherwise I hope you enjoy.
When I was picking out stuff to wear today
I wanted to have something on that was lightweight
but would keep me warm if it got really dark and horrible and wet.
And I found my YouTube jacket
and I was given this at the end of last year and then
the community that I'm a Top Contributor for closed down
so I don't actually have a use for this jacket.
So if you can think of anything fun I might be able to do with this jacket
I might customize it, it's a nice little bomber jacket
then do let me know down below.
[GUITAR MUSIC]
I'm round at the old church again
because I find it so hard to walk past this place
and not come and say hello because
it was somewhere I just really thought was amazing as a kid.
And I know I said that in the other vlog but I don't care.
So let's go up here and just get some amazing views again.
Look at this, it's just wonderful.
And it's amazing to me that this hasn't been knocked down at all
or tried to be replaced with something else.
It's just managed to stay standing here, which is really really cool.
So anyways I'm gonna get back on the walk because if I don't
I'll end up just staying here, let's be honest cause I could.
It's nice and peaceful and there's lovely views of the sea.
Now I'm heading along the path to Braefoot Bay,
which is... I think it's owned by the military or something.
It's not really an area you're supposed to go in
but this path you are allowed to go along, it's like a right-of-way thing.
So usually I'd be along the path
by where that set of bushes is.
But today I'm going to come along this path instead
and I think eventually I do join that path again
but this is like a little mini adventure.
Like I've been along this walk so many times as a kid
but I've never been along this bit so this is a little bit different.
And I don't know what I'm gonna see so this could be good.
Hello darling, are you a fan?
It's nice to meet you, you don't have to hide in the bushes though.
You can come up and say hello to me.
Do you know that? Hello my darlings.
I'm making loads of new friends here.
I get the feeling they're not gonna subscribe though.
Maybe they're just like fair-weather friends.
[GUITAR MUSIC]
That thing there I thought was the Eiffel Tower.
And when I was little I used to climb up on a climbing frame
at the playground we used to go to
and I'd be like "I'm so high, I can see the Eiffel Tower!"
And my mum was just like "Sweetie, that's not the Eiffel Tower"
that's just a telegraph tower somewhere.
Like a transmitter is the word I'm looking for, transmitter.
So yes I obviously wasn't well-traveled as a child.
This is Braefoot Bay and it's owned by the Ministry of Defense
so it's not really a place where you can go and snoop around and stuff.
I can't remember exactly what they do here
but I just know from childhood it's a place that we didn't ever go to.
So yeah, there's a mystery for the video.
I am just gonna go home and Google it
and then I'll put a link down below in the description
or I'll say in the description what I found out about it
if anybody's particularly interested.
I can see something in this field. Now is it a duck?
I think it's duck. I'll know for sure when I get home.
It could just be a pigeon.
Just call me David Attenborough, have I just spotted a pigeon?
Update for you all, I just turned the camera off, it flew away
it was a pigeon.
This is why people come to my vlogs, to see good quality nature.
Sorry guys, that was a pigeon.
Three weeks ago we were totally snowed under in Scotland.
And when I say "snowed under"
I know that some countries have more snow than what we got,
but in Scotland we don't really know how to handle it, if I'm totally honest.
The roads suffer and as a result everything shuts down.
So we were unable to really leave the house.
We could walk to places
but then places like the shops were shut because the staff couldn't get in
and there wasn't really anywhere to go unless you were walking a dog.
Let me just get that thing off there, okay there we are.
This is a super casual vlog, I'm not even gonna edit that out.
We're just going to keep that in.
So it's really funny to me that we've went from that to Summer so quickly
and I know that this doesn't look particularly summery
but realistically this is what Summer's like in Scotland.
A nice Spring day is like a "meh" Summer's day.
So I'll take it, I'll take it
and I'm glad I've made the use of it.
I know I've said that a few times but I really am glad I've made the use of it.
Because when I was stuck indoors I just wished that I could go anywhere.
Anywhere. Even if it was just to the other side of the town.
I was just wishing that I wasn't in the house.
It's fairly serene out here today.
There's not as many cars as I expected to see on the roads
and I don't know if that's cause everybody's getting ready for Easter.
I don't really know.
But all the same it's been really nice, the blue sky is coming out again there
and I've had a fun day.
I think I'm just gonna sit down here for a minute, in the sand.
Because again it felt like when the snow was everywhere
like I wasn't gonna see sand again.
And I know that's awfully dramatic, but there we go.
And I was talking about my YouTube jacket earlier.
The reason they usually give people YouTube jackets
is so that when they go to events and things, they can represent.
And that kind of got me thinking about which events I'm going to this year.
I've already missed VidCon EU, I'm not really sold on that one if I'm totally honest.
I don't really know what to think of it just yet.
It might be that in the future I decide to go
but this year I wasn't overly enthused by the idea.
And then the next one that people'll probably ask me about is VidCon US
and I'm definitely not going to that because I'm going to see Taylor Swift instead.
So I won't be there and then Summer in the City is in London
and London is one of those places
where I can take fairly last-minute journeys to and it's not a big deal.
So I feel like it's way too early to decide whether I'm going to Summer in the City or not.
I'd love to go and if I'm able to sort it out with work and things
then I would love to be there again, see everybody
but I don't know for sure at the moment.
And I feel like Summer in the City is one that you really need to ask me about nearer the time.
Like maybe July.
July I'll probably have more of an idea of whether or not I'm going.
I'm just kind of sitting here digging and I've found this massive stone
and it reminds me of the Philosopher's Stone, so there we are.
I'm just casually sitting on a beach digging like I'm 5 years old.
There's actually a toddler down there who's really-
I don't know, she's better behaved than I am right now.
I'm just kind of picking through the sand and enjoying myself.
[GUITAR MUSIC]
While we're in Aberdour I'll just show you something that,
if you've been listening to the Weird Funny Stories I Wrote As A Kid,
this is the inspiration for one of the stories.
If you've heard me talking about the story called "Brats"
which had Tash and Bex in and they were twins
they were going to live with the mum for the first time in a big house.
The big house is just over here! I'm just going to show you on the camera here.
I don't know the story behind this house
whether it's somebody's residence, whether it's an office block...
If anybody lives there just now, I have no idea.
But I used to see this view on the way past as we'd drive by Aberdour
and it just looked like the middle of nowhere.
And I wrote that story about it, I could see it pictured there
and whenever I imagined there being like a movie version,
that's the house I pictured.
So there we are, because right now we're in a village
and then that just looks like it's just the middle of nowhere.
Like if you didn't know there was a town around here you would think this was the countryside.
And that's what I really love about it.
Now this is an area of Aberdour I've never seen before,
it's the Aberdour Sensory Garden.
And I'm guessing it's for people to really like feel different things? I don't know.
I don't really know what constitutes a sensory garden.
I'm just reading about the history of this site.
And it used to be Aberdour Primary School years and years ago
like over 100 years ago and then in 1967 they built a new primary school,
I actually walked past it earlier. And this one got demolished in 1974
and the Village in Bloom, who do all the wonderful flowers around Aberdour
decided to modernize it
and I really like how it turned out, it's a beautiful beautiful area.
So I really think they've done a good job
and it's like really well looked after and things.
so I am pretty pleased for the result. I can't believe I've never been here before!
[GUITAR MUSIC]
I'm actually really pleasantly surprised by this.
I've walked past this place so many times
but I've never stopped to have a look
so I think this is definitely gonna be somewhere I come back to
whenever I'm visiting Aberdour because it's really really pretty.
And now that I've been there I feel like it's somewhere that shouldn't be missed.
I've just bumped into a lovely lady, that's her cycling away there.
And she caught me vlogging and wondered what I was up to.
So we've just had a bit of a chat about, you know, the whole channel and things.
The kind of industry as a YouTube creator.
Cause she said there as well and I think it's a popular misconception
That YouTubers make a lot of money.
And you know like YouTubers can make a lot of money,
but they don't make a lot of money just purely from their videos being on YouTube.
You really need to have a following, you need to have merchandise and things,
get paid for appearances and everything like that.
And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that
but when somebody says "Don't you make loads of money from that?"
I do feel like I need to correct myself there.
I'm heading home now, we're just going along the same path.
I don't think I'm going to go via Braefoot Bay again.
It was a nice enough path
but I feel like the real nostalgia comes from the path that I used to walk along.
And this time we haven't got the big steep hill to go up as well
so it's all good, it's all good.
I've been thinking a bit more about what that lady said to me
back at the bottom of the hill there. We were talking about YouTube
and I said "I've just walked from Dalgety Bay to Aberdour"
"and I filmed the whole thing" and she said "You're putting us on the map then."
And I don't think really one videos gonna put them on the map.
Obviously you know I've not really got that big a following
but it did make me think. If we're gonna put Aberdour on the map,
just over there is Edinburgh.
You could totally come to Aberdour on a day trip if you were in Edinburgh.
It's like an hour on the train
and you can see all of this for yourself.
So yes if you're ever visiting Edinburgh
and you want to see one of the hidden gems of Fife,
I definitely say come on a day trip to Aberdour.
Or even Dalgety Bay, you can go along this lovely coastal walk.
It's always here, all year round.
Although to be honest I'd probably only do it in the summer.
It's totally somewhere that you could go
that is little bit different from everywhere in Edinburgh.
When I get to the end of this path
I'll probably start to get all camera shy about vlogging again and things.
Because this is starting to be Dalgety Bay again
and I'll probably see more dog walkers and things again.
Like everybody's pretty much gonna come back.
I really need to be less embarrassed
and less apologetic when people catch me vlogging.
You'd think after 3 years that would be
something that would come a bit more naturally but not really, not really.
Okay and for those of you who are following along
I'm pretty much back at where I turned to go off to Braefoot Bay
instead of carrying on along that big road there.
So that's a lot of fun, I really enjoy that walk
and I am glad I came out today, I'm genuinely glad.
Like I would have just sat at home and not really done anything.
So I'm back at the Kirk again
and the sun is starting to go down...I think.
Like I said I'm not very good at figuring out these things
but certainly it's in my face more, it's got kind of a red-y vibe to it
so I'd say that's the sun going down.
So I think I'm going to end it here for today guys.
Thank you very much for joining me on this adventure, this local adventure.
And I hope you enjoyed it.
If you did enjoy it and you haven't seen the other version of this video
then I'm gonna link it down below so you can check that out as well
and thanks very much everybody, cheerio!
Thanks again for watching everybody
if you'd like to see the original version of this video, you can check it out here.
I go through the landmarks a lot more on that one.
And YouTube have suggested a video you might like over here,
so go and check that out. And if you haven't already

Is Cardio Worth it - Summer Shredding Episode 7 - Duration: 11:56.
alright guys so the question of the day today is is cardio worth it and my
answer is it kind of depends on what your goal is so if your goal is to go on
an extended cut because you want to get it pretty lean then yes it's definitely
worth it if you would have asked me this about two weeks ago I would have said no
it's not worth it just because you know if you think about it you can spend an
hour doing cardio and you'll burn maybe like 300 to 500 calories you can eat
that easily in like 5-10 minutes so that's why when people you know trying
to tell you that so that's why when you try to tell people that your that's why
when you're trying to lose weight people are always going to tell you to try to
create a calorie deficit through food because it takes a lot of time and
effort to create a calorie deficit through cardio however doing both can
give me an advantage now for example let's say you do two 300 calorie cardio
sessions a week now yes that's only 600 calories per week that's only a little
over a fifth of a pound each week which you might think right away it's not a
whole lot that's not worth it that's what I used to think not think about it
if you're going on extended cut twelve weeks like I'm doing right now then 12
weeks in sintra calories burned per week 7200 calories that's almost two pounds
of fat and in an extended fat loss phase towards the end two pounds of fat is
huge so it's cardio worth it if you are going for an extended fat loss phase yes
very worth it I would definitely recommend that you do it now what if
you're just doing a short mini cut what depends how short that is I mean at the
most you know with the short mini cut doing the same amount of cardio
it's like 2,400 calories so you know maybe 3/4 of a pound half a pound it's
still you know gonna be pretty significant but it won't be as much as
if you were doing you know a long extended cut where those two pounds at
the very end really really matter so if you're at a higher body fat percentage
and you just want to do a mini cut do you have to do it and if not really
probably won't make a huge difference but it'll still do something now what if
you're bulking you know do I recommend that you do cardio in your bulking you
can I mean I would really recommend it just for your general overall health but
is it necessary no it's not necessary it's not necessary to do cardio when
you're it's not necessary to do it when you're
cutting is it gonna help I'd say so you know cardio has lots of benefits
just regarding cardiovascular health and it's also gonna help increase your work
capacity which is always really good so what type of cardio would I recommend
that you do I would recommend low intensity steady-state cardio if your
priority is weight training now if your goal is to get stronger and to build
muscle doing low intensity cardio is going to help you just recover better
and it's not gonna affect your training as much now if these aren't your main
goals you know maybe you're someone who enjoys doing a lot of running or like
bodyweight calisthenics circuit type training then probably hit training
would be really great for you because you can burn a lot of calories really
quickly and it's like pretty much all over any part of what you're already
doing in your training anyways that's our little cardio
discussion for the day if you guys have any other fitness or nutrition related
questions for me please just comment below send media on my Instagram
whenever you guys want and I will talk about those topics in future videos so
it's Tuesday night it's about 10:30 and I am just starving just gonna go to bed
probably in a little bit and then just wake up in the morning so struggle is
getting real getting hungry as the days go by but we're gonna stay strong and
I'll see you guys in the morning with my new weigh-in morning everyone
here is this morning's weigh-in so you can see a little bit of progress I feel
like we're coming in a pretty big drop in the next couple of days especially
towards the weekend but so you can see we're consistently a lot lower than the
world last week which is really great I was a little worried that we were
gonna be stuck at that plateau for a little bit I just want to talk about the
scale really quick with you guys I know that it's very exciting when you wake up
and you see a new low weight on the scale but you really can't let that
determine you know higher days gonna be I know a lot of people who wake up you
know they weigh themselves and if that number is not a kneel away and it's a
little bit higher than it was a couple of days ago it just ruins the whole day
I keep saying it you know my videos just trust the process be consistent and
you'll get to you need to be I think the usual
breakfast so just chopped up a little bit of onion using my frozen peas three
whole eggs living garlic salt and a little pepper all right guys so look at
what I have here this delicious chocolate chocolate-chip cookie and it's
one of those soft ones it's not for me I brought it from work
for my girlfriend for those of you guys who might or might not know people who
you meet in the field of nutrition and dietetics while you might expect them to
be some of the healthiest people in the world they are like complete foodies
like we just want to eat everything all the time and so that's pretty much who I
work with right now and as much as I would like to eat this cookie right now
I really want to save my calories for something that's actually gonna fill me
up so it's a very sad day it's actually really not that bad it's only 150
calories but I really want some rice like I really want a rice dish so I
really need some extra macros for the day so save me this for my girlfriend
and we'll see what I end up cooking up for dinner all right guys so this is
what I whipped up I know it looks so boring and Glen probably gross but got a
serving in a quarter of tofu some rice and added some soy sauce some pb2 powder
and some sriracha sauce I'm gonna be going over a little bit on my calories
today that's okay I did do some cardio today so I'll kind of make up for it so
I'm not too worried about going over on Collard right now because it is earlier
on and cut if anything these extra carbs are gonna help me for my deadlift
workout today but right now honestly the most important thing that I can do in
terms of helping my cut progress it's just getting sleep and getting rest so I
just took an hour nap feeling a little groggy grumpy right now but didn't eat
this and then we're gonna little bit early today because that really is the
best thing that we can do in order for this diet to be successful smacking me
my calorie intake it's gonna be sleep tonight so I finished my food and I'm
still really hungry and it's not like I'm just a little hungry I feel like I
am starving right now so I popped some popcorn gonna
have this popcorn is perfect when you're hungry just cuz it's such a high volume
so this will bowl right here as you can see here it's only 220 calories which
isn't bad at all so I'm gonna have this I don't know why I'm so hungry maybe
it's the cardio I did today kind of sucks is kind of defeat the purpose of
doing it but oh well I'll just try to get an extra session sometime this week
and then just really try to plan my meals accordingly in the next couple of
days maybe even tries to track some calories but I don't know we'll see some
really early on the cut so it doesn't really matter if I go off track a little
bit I'm still gonna be within like 20 300 calories which is kind of what I
wanted to shoot for in the first place Thursday morning you guys know when you
sleep more than you usually do and you still feel tired well that's one feeler
today but I know we're gonna be feeling really good later on in the day so
that's all that matters woke up a little bit late too so I got a
rush get ready for work and let's do it the way in this today it's about to head
to the gym my back has been really aching these past few days like my lats
and just throughout the day like just feels really really tight so we'll see
how the session goes honestly I'm I'm a little scared or intimidated to attempt
these Dedalus today so we're going with 380 pounds today only 5 pounds from last
time just because last time it was pretty
heavy I only got three on the MRAP today I don't know what's gonna happen I
feel like I'm gonna stall I'm even considering just you know trying to take
a little bit easy today and do some a little bit of a deal load so instead of
doing five sets of three I would only do three sets of three but I'm not sure yet
we'll see I think it'd be the smartest thing to do but I think it just really
depends on how we're feeling
so I just showed you guys my little back pump right there looking pretty good in
my opinion I can't wait to see my back looks like while I'm leaner but as you
guys saw in my workout footage today I switched over to sumo the reason for
this was I was pulling conventional and it was just feeling so heavy I started
to feel my background in a lot of the sets and I just I couldn't keep that
straight neutral back and so I said you know what let's just try sumo see how it
feels I tried it on my third set and it felt amazing like I did not pretty much
didn't through my backward thing at all I felt it all in my legs which is
awesome I mean that's pretty much what you want and then you know I went back
to conventional so what I did three sets of conventional and then two sets of
sumo so I didn't sumo for my third set I went back to conventional for that
fourth set still wasn't feeling it so I decided to give sumo try on the amrap
and it felt so easy so you guys saw there I stopped that eight reps I
could've kept going but I just didn't want to push it you know I always want
to leave at least two in the tank but I honestly think I had like four or five
left right there that's how good sumo is feeling I honestly I think I'm just
gonna stick to sumo for the next couple of weeks that way we can just keep
progressing originally I was thinking I'll stick to conventional and maybe
we'll transition to rock pools and then just slowly elevate them and keep adding
adding weight but I think if I could pull off the ground and just go as sumo
I'd be the better option like sumo felt so good today I'm calling it right now
like at the end of this cut a month or two at the most
afterwards I'm gonna pull 500 so 500 coming I can feel it and I am just so
excited so that's going to include this vlog thank you guys so much for watching
you guys can expect my next video to be up on Saturday it's gonna be a physique
update so two weeks in we'll see where so stay tuned and I'll see you guys on
Saturday

Bentonite Miracle Facial Clay Mask with Vitamin C and Glutathione (With English Subtitle) - Duration: 14:35.
hello my loves welcome back to my channel Anne here and if you are a new
viewer on my channel, hello girl and welcome to my channel. I hope that you
will consider subscribing to my channel because I do upload video videos every
single week. So for today guys I am back with another
product review for you guys and for today we are going to review a new
skincare product that I've been trying out and the product that I'm talking about
is the bentonite miracle facial clay mask with vitamin C and glutathione.
(That's what it looks like) So I've been using this for a couple of weeks already and I think that
I am ready to share my thoughts about this product with you guys if you guys
If you wanted to know my thoughts on this product, then just keep on watching
Okay so what is bentonite clay? Bentonite clay has been used for a couple of
centuries or generations it's a very popular healing clay that also helps
cleanses the body so if ever you guys are wondering (where does bentonite clay came from,)
it's from volcanic ash and it's composed of minerals so that is
according to the research that I did prior to buying this product out and
I've also found out that bentonite clay, in general, has a lot of benefits by using
it so the benefits of using bentonite clay is first,
It unclogs the pores and it shrinks it down or helps in shrinking your large pores down
It helps control overproduction of sebum or oiliness
on your skin. It draws out toxins from your skin which is really good.
Forth, benefit is it also helps in making skin softer. Next is it gives you a
definite glow on your face it also helps exfoliate your skin (because)
(it has sand or beads in it)
Gently scrub it on your skin to remove the dead skin cells on your face.
It also helps prevent the appearance of breakouts on your skin, which is really good because
as I've said, I have very oily skin and I am prone to breakouts most especially
(when our pores gets clogged which causes breakouts)
It can also be used to regenerate your skin tissues
so (if your skin has damage, it can help repair it) and what's great about bentonite
clay, in general, is it can be used by people with different skin types
so this is what we are going to need. bentonite miracle facial clay
mask, a non-metallic bowl and spoon to mix it or even spatula, and your
mixing medium you which can be a water or an apple cider vinegar
you can use water (if you have sensitive skin type) and for oilier skin type you
can use the apple cider vinegar but I personally prefer to use water because
(I can't stand the smell of the apple cider vinegar) so that is what we are going to use as our
mixing medium for today. Okay so what usually do is to get a tsp. of the bentonite clay mask
By the way, this is what the product looks like. It's just a powder.
(And as you guys can see, I've already used a lot of the product because I really love it.)
(When I bought this product it's full and now, I'm almost out of it since I use it more often.)
I'm going to show you guys how I mix it. (I'll get a tbsp of the bentonite powder and put it on the non-metallic container
And this is already good for the entire face. (I'm just going to put it inside
the bowl then I'll add the water.
you just have to estimate the amount of water that you'll mix with the powder. Just add a little bit of water first.
Then if it's not enough, then add some more.
If you put a lot of water, add more until you achieve a creamy or paste consistency.
Just mix it until it has a smooth consistency.
That's what it will look like.
Then you can use your fingers in applying it or a synthetic brush.
I just let you guys see what my skin looks like before we apply the mask on my face.
As you guys can see, I do have a lot of skin imperfections
Let's apply the mask on my face. (What I do is I just apply it all over my face using a brush)
But make sure that your face is already clean. Wash your face first before applying it.
And you have to let it set on your skin for
15-20 minutes.
When your using water as your mixing medium,
it doesn't have strong smell.
but when I use the apple cider vinegar (it really has a strong scent.)
I also break out on the jaw area, I also apply the mask there.
First, I make sure that I apply this product all over my face.
And if I mixed more of the product than what I needed, I just layer it up on my face.
As you guys can see, there's some left over so I'll just apply it on my face.
Even though we only mixed a little amount of the product earlier, we still have leftovers.
So I'm just going to apply it on the areas that has thinner layer.
And (I don't feel any strange feeling when I'm applying this product on my face.)
And my face didn't have redness when I first apply it on my face.
I also have sensitive skin because I have skin asthma,
but this product didn't cause any allergic reaction on my skin
Which is really good because I am also careful with the products that I apply on my skin.
because sometimes it cause rashes to appear on my skin and it reacts on my skin
But with this product, that didn't happen. So I've used up all the products that we mixed earlier. And I am just going to wait
for 20 minutes for it to dry up and it's already 6
o'clock in the morning so at 6:20 I'll be back to show you what it looks like once it's completely set
Okay guys, so it's already 6:22.I totally forgot about the time
because I am starting to clean the house already
and I forgot that I have the mask on my face. (joke)
So this is what it looks like when it completely set on your face. I can feel that it's already tightened
but I can still move my face as you guys can see
I'll just rinse this one off with water and let me see what it looks like after
you apply the product on your face. Okay, so I already rinse off the mask on my face
and this is what it looks like
so for my final thoughts about this product if ever you guys are wondering if
I am going recommend it or not definitely I would recommend it because
as I've said I've been using this product for almost a month already and
I've seen a lot of difference on my skin it helps minimize the appearance of my
pores. It makes my skin feels smoother and softer
it also helps lighten my skin on my face because, you guys have seen my
videos before and I do have an even skin tone. My face is much darker than
the rest of my body and I was looking for a product that would help in lightening
it up maybe (just to even it out with the rest of my body)
I think that this part of is really helping in doing that. Compared to Aztec
this one has vitamin C and with glutathione and I think that that is one of
the thing that makes the two products different from each other. Because I think Aztec
it's it's just made of pure bentonite clay but with this one it has vitamin
C and glutathione in its ingredients and its also going
to help in lightning or brightening of your skin on your face it also does help
in controlling the oiliness of my skin I noticed that after couple of weeks of
using this one, my skin produces lesser oil
And I can already use products like foundation that I didn't like before
because it makes my skin very oily. Dermacol and that is what I am using
on my face right now I've been wearing this foundation for (maybe more or less than) three
hours already and my skin is still looking okay it's not very oily yet compared to when I am
not using this product on my skin so I think that it really helps in controlling the
oiliness of my skin and it also helps in preventing breakouts on my skin
as you guys can see you my face looks clearer now compared to
when I was not using this product so I highly recommend for you guys to try
this without because it's really really helping me out in clearing out my skin, in
making it softer, in shrinking my pores,in brightening my skin and this is not
something that I just made up I have been using this for a couple of weeks
already and it does wonders on my skin already
how much more if I continuously use this product maybe my skin will be clear and
all and I will definitely give you guys my update on that so yeah that is it for
my review on the bentonite miracle facial clay mask with Vitamin C and
glutathione I hope that you guys find this review helpful and if you did don't
forget to give this review a thumbs up HUGE thumbs up you guys and please

Aim For A Life That Is Full of Purpose - Islamic Perspective by Hasnain Rajabali - Duration: 3:05.
The first level is to ask Who am I? Why am I here
What's my goal in life? You know how many people don't bother to discuss that. You
see them doing the dumbest things, using the foulest language. You find
them running for the most mundane material things in life. You're looking
at them, like are you serious? you really yeah my dream is to have that, and I'll
kill to have it. I said that's your dream? That's what you've concluded
your purpose in this short world? That you're living in this short life?
You know how short this life is? If you're 90 years of age
which is a long period.
90 Years old person. 30 of the 90 Years the person was sleeping. You are left with 60
30 of those 60 you were busy working, you left with 30 years if you and I live to
be 90 most people don't live to be 90 the average lifespan is 70 so bring it
down to 20 years. You mean I pursued all these dreams for
20 years and if I ask you for that 20 years give me a videotape of what is
your most profound moments in life, maybe a hundred hours, 200 hours you mean this
world was only worth 200 hours for me? Allah says YEAH.
بَلْ تُؤْثِرُونَ الْحَيَاةَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةُ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ
You love this world the Hereafter is what's forever. You are
fooling yourselves into thinking something's important, but when a person
need to sit and say yes why am I here? You know I speak in
universities, I get non-muslim audiences, after my lectures you see youth
come to me and say wow never thought this way!
you're right! I said look I'm not here to proselytize you. I'm not here to make you
Muslim I'm here to wake you up you choose your own way. You're smart enough
you are sharp enough. you know! you've been planted with some
of the greatest gifts you can ever imagine and I'm here to strike them and
you strike me too. Let's wake each other up there's a purpose in this life. The
guy says to me you're right. I said take account يَتْلُو عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتِهِ Look in the
skies? Why is all this happening? What is all the signs why do people behave the
way they do. Observations! Basic observation will lead us to so much
understanding. That's why the Prophet says man arafa nafsa faqad arafa
rabbah. The one who knows himself will know his lord indeed that's first

NEW PROOF That Jeff Sessions Is Working With Deep State – He Must be Fired! - Duration: 10:09.
NEW PROOF That Jeff Sessions Is Working With Deep State – He Must be Fired!
For quite a long time it's been certain that AG Sessions is an aggregate disappointment.
He recused himself and after that contracted hooligan Rod Rosenstein as Asst AG who at
that point made the screwy Mueller examination.
On the off chance that this republic is to proceed with, Sessions must go!
The US can't have various layers of laws.
It's difficult to have a few people who don't need to submit to an indistinguishable
laws from whatever is left of the populace.
We likewise can't remain for the degenerate FBI, DOJ and State Departments (among others)
that can spy, lie and ambush Americans for defective wrongdoings.
Obama's Administration was degenerate and deceptive at all levels as it's nothing
unexpected that the whole central government is degenerate.
These individuals must be cleared out.
It's begins with AG Sessions!
AG Sessions lauded Asst AG Rosenstein that day Rosenstein was distinguished in the FISA
notice as one of the people who approved the derogatory FISA update to keep an eye on President
Trump.
Mueller's examination is loaded with previous Clinton and Obama degenerate comrades.
The FBI and DOJ proceed to defer and keep Congress from seeing data asked for month.
A great part of the data is pointlessly redacted from the people (Congress) who has the order
to administer these same foundations.
Numerous Congressman are calling for Jeff Sessions to leave or be substituted and have
for quite a long time
-------------------------------------------
Is Trump's Impeachment On The Horizon Or Is It A Fantasy? - Duration: 2:54.
Our final question today comes from @Serocco3 who asks, "Are we sure Congress will impeach
Trump?
Republicans will never meaningfully oppose him and Democrats keep offering concession
after concession like they always do with every Republican President."
No, I do not and have not ever believed that Congress will eventually 100% impeach Donald
Trump.
Republicans won't do it.
It doesn't matter what the Mueller investigation concludes.
They could conclude that Donald Trump personally, single handedly was behind the entire Cold
War.
They could prove that somehow he built the atomic bombs and made the decision to drop
them on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and they still wouldn't do it.
I know those aren't possible things.
I'm just giving those as examples of how spineless the Republicans in Congress are.
It doesn't matter what they find from this investigation.
Republicans will never act on it.
As for the Democrats though, I do think that if there's a blue wave in November, in the
midterms, and if the investigation shows criminal wrongdoing by the President, and Democrats
take over with that information, I think they would pursue it.
I really do.
Now, maybe I have too much faith in them.
Maybe I have a little too much hope.
I've been told that about my feelings towards the Democratic Party, but I do think they
could do it.
I do think they would do it, but if they don't take back the House, there is absolutely no
way Donald Trump's not finishing at least his first four year term.
If they don't take back the House, it proves that they don't know how to beat a guy like
Trump and the Republicans who are sucking up to him, which means that they could very
likely lose the 2020 Presidential Elections as well.
Every election has lasting consequences.
I predicted right after the midterms in 2014 that the Democrats would lose in 2016 if they
didn't change.
They didn't change and they lost.
I wasn't one of the only people who were saying that.
That was a very common theme among Progressives.
We saw what happened.
We saw what the Democrats did.
We saw they didn't learn anything from it, and so they lost again.
This year's midterms are no different.
If Democrats lose, it's not just losing the ability to impeach Trump, it's about the possibility
of having to suffer through another Donald Trump term if he gets reelected in 2020.
It's up to Democrats.
We can't force them to learn.
They got to do it on their own.
-------------------------------------------
Trump Is Just A Symptom Of America's Decline, Not The Cause - Duration: 5:14.
Our next question comes from Phillip Schaps, who says, "Isn't it time to accept that with
Trump in the White House and the corporate democrats scheming to screw over strong progressive
candidates, that America is in the terminal stage of its nearly 40 year decline (which
was of course started by Reagan's election)?"
I think so.
I think we've seen quite a sea change in Washington DC, really just in the last few years.
It's been remarkable.
I started doing this.
I first came into politics as a profession when I just turned 21 years old, still in
college, started off as a researcher.
Back then some of the things we covered were unheard of at the time.
The kind of pay to play type stuff.
And yes, it had been going on for a while, but nobody ever focused attention on it.
And that's what we started doing with Ring of Fire when we were a part of Air America,
and all the other shows on there were doing the same thing.
We finally started shining the light on this, of what is been happening to politics.
It was bad under Bush.
It got worse when Sarah Palin, and Michele Bachmann, Joni Ernst.
People like that started coming to the forefront.
Jim Inhofe, one of the worst senators ever.
But then it kept getting worse, and at the same time that the Republican Party started
getting worse, the Democratic Party started getting worse, and again it typically does
go back to Citizens United.
Before the Citizens United ruling was handed down by the supreme court, the two top donors
to the Democratic Party were trial lawyers and labor unions, two groups that work for
the benefit of the American public against greedy corporations.
As soon as Citizens United happened, Wall Street banks and securities firms took over
as the top donor to the Democratic Party.
It was at that point ... You can go back and look through the legislation at what happened
at the beginning of 2010.
It was at that point that the democrats, to an extent, became indistinguishable from the
Republican Party on certain issues.
That's why people like Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren, and Keith Ellison are household
names at this point because they're the few speaking out against what's happened to the
Democratic Party.
We're still in that decline, and there's not enough Sanders, and Warrens, and Ellisons,
and even those three are not perfect on every issue; nobody is, and that's the problem.
Take a guy like Sheldon Whitehouse.
Probably the best democratic senator, best senator on the issue of climate change.
He's also been not so great on a ton of other issues, so we don't really have anybody to
100% rally behind that represents us.
We used to.
Back in the day, there were plenty of them.
There were plenty of democrats who were willing to stand up to the banks, to stand up for
the climate, to stand up against the fossil fuel industry.
But today, you have to pick and choose.
With republicans, it's even worse, obviously, because they just want to do whatever they
can for corporations.
And yeah, you're right, Phillip.
This goes back to Reagan.
The de-regulation of the Reagan era, the attacks on labor unions, the attacks on the so-called
welfare queens that sparked a whole generation of people hating poor people, that's when
it started here in the United States.
Because of those attacks and the lasting damage that, that has had, politics has gone to an
area that it's unlikely we can pull all the way back from.
It's going to be difficult, if not impossible, to ever convince the republicans that are
alive today that people on welfare aren't 'living it up' on the government's dime.
Or that people who get unemployment payments, unemployment checks, that they're just lazy.
They'll never not believe that.
Reagan drilled that into their head.
Bush drilled that into their head.
Bush junior drilled it into their head.
And now Fox News, Donald Trump, Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, all day every day are feeding
them that false information that has zero data to back it up.
And the problem is that there aren't enough good democrats out there explaining why this
is a lie, explaining why these programs are vital for the survival of the United States.
Instead, they just want to talk about how bad Trump is or how bad republicans are, without
offering a very clear alternative.
So you're right.
This is part of the decline, and unfortunately because it's gone on for so long, I don't
know that it's possible to ever completely pull back to what we used
to be.

Is the 2018 iPad Worth It? - Duration: 6:15.
- Hey guys this is Austin.
This is the 2018 iPad,
and at $330, it seems like the one to get.
However, there's always the question,
is it worth it?
Take a look at the box, and it looks like,
well, every other iPad ever.
Flip it over, though, and what you're going to see
is it is called the 6th Generation iPad.
Because, you know, iPad 6 doesn't have the right ring to it?
Really what this is, is this is the lower end iPad
that slots not only below to iPad Mini,
which for some reason is still around,
but also the iPad Pro.
So, Apple actually announced this
at their education event just a couple days ago,
and the main idea with this
is that the iPad, at least on the lower end,
is trying to be a Chromebook competitor.
Now, for schools I get why Chromebooks are so popular,
and there are some advantages to the iPad,
especially the Pencil support
which we'll get into in a few minutes.
However, whether this is actually a good idea
is a little bit more questionable.
Open it up, and we see
it looks exactly like every other iPad ever.
So, if this looks a little bit familiar to you,
that's because they actually really haven't changed
the design on this guy for quite a while.
So, previously they did have a lower end $330 iPad,
and as far as I can tell,
hardware-wise, it is completely identical.
Inside, we're going to be getting our paperwork,
which I'm sure is gonna include stuff
like Apple stickers and other things
that you're never gonna wanna actually use.
We do have the USB to lightning cable
as well as the power adapter.
Which, this guy is going to be 12 Watts,
which is actually still a little bit slow
for something like an iPad.
It's actually going to take a while to charge,
but, I mean.
Sorry, you bought a $300 iPad. (laughs)
I just imagine Tim Cook in his office, like,
"Yeah, sorry.
"If you want it to actually charge in less than three hours,
"you're just gonna have to, you know,
"buy an iPad Pro and a lightning to USB-C cable,
"and MacBook charger,
"because money." (register bell rings)
So, for some context, this is the 2017 iPad,
which is exactly what this is going to be replacing.
Now, this is actually something that we use
pretty much everyday around the office.
So, while we're shooting,
we'll usually put like notes up on this,
or use it to look up specs and that kind of stuff.
If I put this side-by-side with the 2018 iPad,
you're going to see that they look completely identical,
besides, well, the different colors.
One of my main complaints against the 2017 iPad
is that there's actually
a kind of fairly large air gap with the display.
So, it is still going to be 9.7 inch retina display.
It looks fine when you look at it directly head-on.
However, unlike the higher end iPad Pros
which have a laminated display,
which makes it look like it's printed
just right on the glass,
take a look at this at any kind of angle,
and you're going to see that the screen
looks like it's sunken in.
Now, unfortunately, if you take a look at the 2018 iPad,
it has the exact same screen.
Fine when you look at it dead-on,
but if you look at it from the side,
it definitely looks like there's a huge air gap.
One of the big upgrades with the new iPad
is going to be on the inside.
So, whereas the last generation model
used the Apple A9 processor from the iPhone 6S,
this bumps up to the Apple A10 from the iPhone 7.
Still not going to be super cutting edge,
but it's fast on the iPhone 7,
and it's fast here on the iPad.
Take a look at at the Geekbench results,
and it's pretty much identical to the iPhone,
which is, well, a solid thing.
I mean, this is a $300 iPad.
One thing you should keep in mind, though,
is that this still only has two gigs of RAM.
Now, for normal apps that's going to be no problem.
And it does support a lot
of the same multitasking features as the bigger iPads.
However, you cannot actually get three apps up
at the same time like on an iPad Pro.
And of course, to show off the power of the iPad,
we have Fortnite.
So, this runs really well on a wide range of hardware.
And the idea that we do have that Apple A10 processor
actually does make a pretty big difference.
You're not running it quite on the same level
as something like the iPhone X,
but it still looks really nice.
For a lot of apps, you're actually not going to notice
a huge difference with the Apple A10.
It's going to be snappier, for sure,
but it's not like a revolutionary difference.
But, considering that this is going to be a $300 iPad,
every little bit of extra performance
is going to be helpful.
And of course, one of the biggest things to consider
is how long this is going to be having updates,
how long it's actually going to be supported by apps,
and having that newer processor does make a difference,
especially when you're using this
three, four, five years from now.
It's so weird playing this on an iPad.
I mean, it totally works,
but, oh man.
I think with this bigger screen,
I really wish I did have a controller.
Hopefully they actually add
that controller support at some point.
- [Austin Recording] Take one look at Twitch,
and you'll see hundreds of thousands of people wa--
- So, the screen is decent like I was saying earlier.
It doesn't quite match the iPad Pro,
but I mean, come on.
For $300 bucks, I don't think you're really
going to be complaining.
Now, some other areas that it doesn't match the iPad Pro in,
is with audio quality.
So, you do have stereo speakers,
but they're both on the bottom,
so they sound decent, but,
I mean, you can cover them both with one hand.
But it's going to be totally fine
for casual video watching.
Another new feature of the iPad
is going to be Apple Pencil support,
which weirdly, up until now,
has been held back to the iPad Pro.
Now, it works exactly as you'd expect,
so you can use it to navigate the interface,
or you can actually use it to do drawing and typing,
if I can actually hit the correct thing.
So, I want to just write out a simple note here.
It actually is gonna look pretty decent.
So, the only thing this is missing
is the ProMotion display from the iPad Pro.
So, that actually does help cut down latency
by running the screen at 120 Hertz
as opposed to 60.
But for most people, I think this is gonna totally fine
for writing notes and that kind of thing.
Now, alongside the new iPad
were a couple of other accessories,
but they're mostly aimed at the education market,
which I think is kind of the main market
that Apple is sort of aiming for with the iPad.
So, so many schools right now are using Chromebooks.
And I think for most schools,
the Chromebooks make more sense.
I mean, it's a proper laptop.
You have a keyboard.
Whereas with this guy,
you know, if you unplug your (clears throat) Apple Pencil,
what you're gonna find is no smart connector.
So, you can't even use the same keyboards as the iPad Pro.
You're going to have to rely on something
that's either going to be using Bluetooth,
or you're actually gonna have to use something
over lightning, which is just not an elegant solution.
Sure, you can get some typing done
on the actual touchscreen,
but I think for most kids,
you're gonna want an actual keyboard.
Now, software-wise, of course we are running iOS 11.
Now, there are pros and cons here.
I actually do think iOS 11
was a pretty major update to the iPad.
So, you get some things like you actually the dock.
You have the multitasking, which all works well here.
But again, it's fine as an iPad.
As something that's going to replace a computer?
For some people, it's fine,
but for a lot of people, it's not quite there yet.
I actually think the 2018 iPad is worth it.
Now, sure, you can get extra features
and bigger screen sizes with the iPad Pro,
but at around twice the price on some of the SKUs,
I really don't think it's gonna be worth it
for most people.
This is gonna do pretty much everything you need,
even though it might not be
the most exciting update in the world.
Now, of course, the real question
is whether you need an iPad in the first place, though.
And that one's kind of on you.
But I'm curious.
What do you think about the 2018 iPad?
Let me know in the comments below,
and I will catch you in the next one.

This Is the End of the Silicon Chip, Here's What's Next - Duration: 4:06.
Electronics keep getting smaller, and it's all thanks to electric switches called transistors.
When these little fellas replaced vacuum tubes, computers went from the size of entire rooms
to merely the corner of a room.
In the 60-odd years since, transistors have kept shrinking, scaling down and powering
up our electronics with them.
But many think we are hitting a choke point… what if we can't make anything smaller?!
Transistors have 3 terminals, a source, a drain, and a gate.
Current flows from the source and, if the gate allows the electrons to pass, out the
drain.
You know how computer code is ones and zeros at its most fundamental level?
Well, this is where that physically happens.
Current flowing through an open gate represents a one, a closed gate and no current represents
a zero.
Pack thousands of these transistors together and they can do calculations and act as a
computer's brain.
Early computers had thousands of transistors, but one way to build a better brain is to
squeeze more transistors onto a chip, and today's chips could have billions.
That means scaling all the parts of a transistor down.
Not only do smaller transistors allow for a higher density, but it also means they can
switch from on to off faster, so small is good!
Right now, commercially available chips typically have transistors with gates about 14 to 20
nm across, depending on the chip.
The problem is, as gates get thinner, quantum mechanics (the physics that govern tiny parts
of atoms) start to come into play.
For example, if the gates are too thin then they won't be able to stop electrons because
the electrons will tunnel through.
Not in a literal sense, they don't bore through the gate like an escaped convict.
They tunnel in the quirky quantum sense, where essentially electrons disappear on one side
of the gate and reappear on the other.
Eat your heart out, Andy Dufresne.
If the gate is supposed to be closed to current - meaning a zero - and it ain't, that's
a big problem.
Researchers predict that the lower limit for silicon gate is 5 nm, and by 2021 it won't
be economically efficient to keep shrinking transistors.
So, where do we go when the laws of physics stop the march of technological progress?
Well, the good news is, there are other ways of improving performance.
Machine learning could help develop more efficient algorithms to use with current transistors.
Or, we could switch to light based computers with optical gates.
That, could actually boost performance 20 fold, though the hardware is a bit larger.
Or, we could stop using silicon.
Researchers have managed to make a transistor out of molybdenum disulfide with a carbon
nanotube gate thats just one nanometer across.
It gets around electron tunneling because electrons don't flow as fast through the
molybdenum disulfide as they do through silicon.
But, mass production would probably be expensive, it was hard enough to make the proof of concept.
The point is, progress can happen even if we can't shrink.
Keep in mind when transistors were first used in a computer they were 20 times more expensive
than vacuum tubes.
Even though transistors were much costlier, computer scientists knew they had more of
an upside in the long run, and look where that led us!

Republicans Are Afraid Of Children, And It Isn't Just About Gun Control - Duration: 4:30.
One thing that I've found interesting over the last few weeks is the fact that Republicans
always like to talk about Liberals being these little triggered snowflakes who can't handle
any kind of opposition, they just fall apart at the sight of anybody arguing with them,
and all this other nonsense that has no basis in reality.
Republicans like to talk tough, act like they're the toughest people on the block, but in the
last few weeks, they've shown that they are afraid of children.
And to be honest, they should be.
The students that have organized and started a massive nationwide movement with other students
who've been in the same position as they were in are terrifying Republicans across the country.
People like Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz, once thought to be pretty safe and secure Republicans
in their home states, are now terrified about losing their next elections because of these
children.
They're spending time on Twitter, especially Rubio, attacking them.
The NRA is having to come out and release attack ads against these kids.
Steve King from Iowa is attacking high school students.
There is a pattern here, and it shows that these crusty, old white Republicans are terrified
of children.
And if you think it's only about the gun control issue, you're sadly mistaken.
That may have been what united these kids and what got them started but that is not
the only issue that they are concerned about that scares Republicans.
For the last several years, we have had young adults in this country, age 17 and below,
some as young as 11 and 10 years old, suing states, oil companies, and even the Federal
Government over their inaction on climate change.
Those lawsuits, every time they go in front of a judge, the judges have ruled that those
lawsuits can go forward, so those lawsuits are still happening.
Children have taken action on the issue of climate change to sue the Federal Government
for screwing them out of a future.
That's exactly what the students from Parkland and many of these other schools that have
witnessed these horrific shootings are doing on the issue of gun control.
They're being robbed of their future, and they want to hold these politicians accountable
for letting this happen.
They want universal healthcare.
They want debt-free college.
They don't care about immigration as much.
They don't think that that's a big problem that needs to see hundreds of thousands of
people deported, they support them coming in.
They support same sex marriage, even the more conservative of that younger generation, by
a large margin.
They support higher taxes on corporations.
Essentially, even the young Americans, and that includes the millennials who are in college
or who are working jobs out of college, they actually have more liberal beliefs than their
conservative, elderly counterparts.
The face of the Republican Party will be changing in just a few years.
The makeup of the Federal Government will be changing in just a few years, and it is
because of this upcoming generation that is getting active and, to be honest, getting
pissed off.
That is exactly what some of us have been waiting to see for years, people getting pissed
off and using that anger and converting it into activism.
We have needed that for some time in this country and it terrifies Republicans any time
it happens because they understand what it means.
It's not just about the issue of gun control, it's not just about climate change, it is
about every single thing that these people have built their careers on that is about
to come crashing down because of the harm that it has caused on the younger generations.
They know that their time is up, and that is why these attacks coming from Republicans
on children are only going to ramp up until their voices are finally voted out of office.

Baby Is Born At 23 Weeks, But 3 Months Later Mom's Back In Delivery Room Pushing Her Out Again - Duration: 3:18.
Baby Is Born At 23 Weeks, But 3 Months Later Mom's Back In Delivery Room Pushing Her Out
Again When you're at the hospital, you're either
going to be delivered good news or bad news.
For pregnant Margaret Boemer, not only was it bad news, but it came as a double whammy!
The results of a routine ultrasound would not only affect her, but her unborn child's
life as well.
The frightening scan revealed a massive growing tumor at the base of the baby's spine.
It was so big, it looked like the fetus had a second head!
Doctors saw the sonogram and knew they needed to act fast.
At this point, there was only one option left to save the little girl's life - fetal surgery.
It was risky, but doctors warned her parents it needed to be done.
A team of experts at Texas Children's hospital in Houston operated on the baby through an
incision in the uterus.
Only in this case, a very large cut had to be made to accommodate the tumor's gigantic
size.
The "unborn" baby was essentially hanging outside of mom's body for a full 20 minutes,
which meant that this was actually Lynlee's "first" birthday!After the life-saving 5-hour
operation, little Lynlee was lovingly tucked back inside the womb, where she'd have another
3 months to continue growing before it was time for her second birthday.
The baby who was born twice is now 17-months-old, and this rambunctious toddler is pretty much
the only person in the world who gets to celebrate a birthday twice every year.
Wow, I didn't even know
this was possible!

If Jason Chaffetz is Right, Jeff Sessions Will be Terminated ASAP - Duration: 14:50.
If Jason Chaffetz is Right, Jeff Sessions Will be Terminated ASAP
This past Saturday night brought a hurricane of new data about Attorney General Jeff Sessions,
and if this data stands to be valid, he ought to be booted from his position instantly.
Jason Chaffetz showed up on Judge Jeanine Pirro's show, and he had a considerable
measure to say in regards to the lawyer general.
Their discussion went as takes after:
Judge Janine:"I need to know a certain something and I need to know this for my group of onlookers
– for the Jeanine gathering of people – I'll call them the Jeanine crowd, alright?
I'm a prosecutor.
I was a judge.
I did this for a long time.
I know how to assemble a case and all that stuff.
Barack Obama and his organization did things that on the off chance that we did we'd
all be in prison at this moment.
Presently the Republicans are in power and I am not recommending that the Party has anything
to do with it, yet when we see glaring check of equity like we have found in the Obama
Administration – illustration, when you have Eric Holder submitting prevarication
and being held in disdain.
You were Head of Government Oversight and Reform, adjust?
You all held him in disdain, yes or no?"
Chaffetz:
"Truly, Yes."
Judge Janine:
"Alright, why is he not being accused of a wrongdoing?"
Chaffetz:
"I can reveal to you that while I was in Congress and the Chairman of the Oversight
Committee, I went over and visit with Attorney General Sessions and it was a standout amongst
the most disappointing dialogs I had in light of the fact that whether it was the IRS, Fast
and Furious, the email outrage that we experienced, I didn't see the Attorney General willing
to simply give Lady Justice a chance to oversee equity and afterward complete.
I saw possibly the most recent a half year of the Obama Administration…
"
Judge Janine:"Hold up a moment I don't have that much time.
You talked with Sessions on IRS, Fast and Furious.
Did he give you a reason?
Did he say he was introducing anything to a great jury?
Indeed or no?"
Chaffetz:"No, he essentially let me know he wouldn't seek after anything on the significant
cases."
Judge Janine:"So IRS, on the significant cases?
Are we discussing Hillary Clinton, since I haven't gotten to her yet."
Chaffetz:"Truly, the email embarrassment of Hillary Clinton.
We had Bryan Pagliano.
I issued a subpoena for him to show up before the Committee and he said "No".
He didn't appear.
We issued another subpoena.
The US Marshals served it.
Also, you know in my reality, in case you're in court, I promise you that a subpoena isn't
a discretionary action.
We needed the Attorney General to indict him and he said 'No.'"
On the off chance that what Chaffetz says stands to be valid, Jeff Sessions ought to
be expelled from his position IMMEDIATELY.
This would imply that he is endeavoring to square President Trump from expelling the
filth
out
of Washington.

Robert Mueller Was Hiding An Explosive Secret That Could Change Everything - Duration: 12:33.
Robert Mueller Was Hiding An Explosive Secret That Could Change Everything
Robert Mueller rocked Washington when he dropped a 37-page indictment against 13 Russian nationals
for alleged election interference.
The media treated it as the smoking gun that could finish Trump for good.
But Mueller was hiding an explosive secret that just changed everything.
Upon closer examination, the indictment was not much of a bombshell.
It flatly stated no Americans were knowingly involved in any illegal activities.
And it threw a wet blanket on the whole collusion conspiracy.
Journalist Paul Sperry also noted other interesting facts.
The indictment did not mention the Russian government or any intelligence operation they
may have conducted.
These 13 nationals were not identified as spies or agents of the Kremlin.
The indictment also made zero references to hacked emails.
Mueller will also never have to prove his charges in court.
The Russian nationals – and the companies they worked for – will never stand trial
because they are not in the United States.
So no evidence to back up any claims Mueller made will ever be evaluated by a jury.
Mueller's indictment was for show.
It was his attempt to breathe life into his witch hunt to take down the President and
subvert
the will
of
the voters.

What is the White House Easter Egg Roll 2018 and when is it? All you need to know - Duration: 4:07.
The annual White House Easter Egg Roll is just about here and this year's will feature
something a little different.
In addition to the commemorative Easter eggs that will be available for purchase, there
will be eggs on display made by children across the United States.
There are a few, in particular, that people are buzzing about.
According to KRQE, students at the Arts Academy at Bella Vista in Clovis, New Mexico, put
together a design that will be shown at the 2018 White House Easter Egg Roll.
The design features mountains, hot air balloons, White Sands and a Zia symbol - featured on
the flag of New Mexico.
Another design, this one chosen by the Nebraska Department of Education, was created by students
at Dorchester public schools.
The design features Nebraska's state emblems.
What is the White House Easter Egg Roll?.
According to the White House website, the White House Easter Egg Roll is an American
tradition that dates back to 1878, or earlier.
It's traditionally planned by the First Lady, allowing her to incorporate her taste.
First Lady Melania Trump is responsible for the egg rolling races people have come to
expect at the White House Easter Egg Roll.
The event features games, an appearance from the President, First Lady and other members
of the family, an Easter bunny sighting and more.
It's customary to receive a wooden Easter egg upon leaving the event.
It's been done since 1981 and has become something people look forward to.
This year's White House Easter Egg Roll is the 140th.
White House Easter Egg Roll history.
While some believe it was started by President Rutherford B. Hayes, others say it began as
an informal celebration hosted by Abraham Lincoln.
Egg rolling on the United States Capitol's grounds became so popular in the 1870s that
while he was president, Ulysses S. Grant banned it.
He cited landscaping concerns as his reasoning.
In 1878 President Hayes changed that, after being approached by a group of children who
hoped to play egg-rolling games at the White House.
He told his guards to let the children in and, since then, Easter Monday at the White
House has been a tradition.
President Benjamin Harris introduced music to the White House Easter Egg Roll in 1889,
inviting the United States Marine Band to play during the celebration.
As the years went by, the White House Easter Egg Roll grew bigger and bigger.
It was around that time that it was decided the number of guests invited had to be limited.
The White House Easter Egg Roll did not occur from 1917 to 1920 or from 1943 to 1945 because
of World War I and World War II.
It didn't happen from 1946 to 1952 either because of food conservation and construction
on the White House.
When is the White House Easter Egg Roll 2018?.
This year's White House Easter Egg Roll will be held on Monday, April 2, 2018.
Donald Trump and Melania Trump will host the event upon returning to Washington, D.C.,
from Mar-A-Lago in Florida.
Each year, the Easter Bunny makes an appearance at the White House Easter Egg Roll.
In 2017, former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer revealed that before landing that
gig, he was assigned to be the Easter Bunny at the event according to CNN.
Twitter took this tidbit and ran with it, throwing together hilarious memes about Spicer's
past as the beloved bunny.
It was even spoofed on Saturday Night Live by Melissa McCarthy, who famously portrayed
Spicer on the show.
It's unclear who's been tasked with filling his bunny suit following his resignation from
the White House.

Why Is It So Hard to Make a Male Birth Control Pill? - Duration: 5:35.
[♪ INTRO ]
At a meeting of endocrinologists this month, researchers presented new work that suggests
they're one step closer to a male birth control pill!
Do you feel like you've heard this news before?
Well, that's probably because you have.
Scientists have been looking into a safe, reversible kind of male birth control for
decades and they've gotten close, but not quite there.
Even here on SciShow, we've reported on things like chromatin remodeling, hormone
injections, and a dissolvable gel that plugs up the vas deferens — AKA the sperm tubes.
Researchers call these treatments "male birth control" for short, because they're
tested in cisgender males who are making sperm.
So why's it so tricky to make a male pill?
The short answer is: it's a lot easier to stop one egg a month than millions of sperm
a day.
The female birth control pill has been around since 1960 — nearly 60 years ago!
And it's one of many options out there.
The pill has synthetic hormones — either a combination of estrogen and progestin, or
progestin alone.
So it stabilizes hormone levels and prevents the spike in estrogen that normally happens
midway through the menstrual cycle, setting off a chain of events that lead to ovulation.
Without that spike, no egg is released and no babies are made.
Very rarely, the female birth control pill can have serious side effects, like blood
clots or heart problems.
But it has some potential health benefits too, like reducing bone thinning, anemia,
or risk of some cancers.
Other than condoms, vasectomies, and withdrawal… there aren't many male birth control options.
And nothing based on hormones has panned out.
On average, men release around 180 million sperm every time they ejaculate.
It only takes one to fertilize an egg and get their partner pregnant.
So… that's a lot of sperm to deal with.
Instead of physically stopping them, like a condom does, male pills aim to lower the
sperm count.
Basically, stopping the production of sperm cells, but leaving the rest of the semen alone.
And the basic strategy for this is kind of counterintuitive.
It turns out that if you give men lots of testosterone, they stop making sperm.
Sperm are produced in the testes, which are also testosterone factories.
So testosterone levels are really high in there, like 25-125 times higher than in blood.
And sperm need those high concentrations of testosterone to develop correctly.
But when a dude gets an injection or a pill of extra testosterone, the brain and pituitary
gland sense that body-wide levels are high enough and shut off production in the testes.
With no testosterone being made down there, the concentration drops, and sperm don't
develop.
Previous attempts at male hormonal contraception involved weekly or monthly doses of synthetic
testosterone.
And if you add progestin, these injections, implants, or patches worked even better.
But even though they were good at stopping sperm production, there were drawbacks.
It was difficult to get synchronized, steady levels of testosterone and progestin.
And weekly, or even monthly, injections aren't as convenient as a daily pill you can take
at home.
Birth control doesn't work if you can't get people to use it.
Plus, some men had unpleasant side effects like pain at the injection site, acne, or
changes in mood including more aggression.
Researchers were wary of giving the necessary big doses of oral testosterone, too, because
previous studies have shown that this can be really hard on the liver.
Not to mention, the body clears this orally-delivered testosterone pretty quickly so pills have
to be taken twice a day.
So what makes this new male pill different?
This research is a team effort from scientists at the University of Washington and the Los
Angeles Biomedical Research Institute.
And they presented their work at the recent Endocrine Society meeting in Chicago.
Their experiments focused on a compound called dimethandrolone undecanoate or DMAU.
It has a different structure than testosterone that lets it hang around in the body longer,
which keeps levels steady even if it's only taken once a day.
DMAU is considered a pro-drug, because it's converted to an active molecule that interacts
with the body after it's ingested.
In this case, enzymes called esterases change DMAU into dimethandrolone or DMA.
And DMA binds to the same hormone receptors as testosterone and progestin throughout the
body.
Just like testosterone given in a pill or injection, DMA tricks the body into producing
less testosterone in the testes, so concentrations there drop and sperm aren't produced.
When the researchers tested this in animals it worked pretty well.
It even stopped sperm production in rabbits, who have legendary fertility.
Sounds promising, right?
This research is getting a lot of attention, but it's still in the early stages.
Here's how the recent experiment went down: researchers had 83 men between ages 18 and
50 take DMAU pills daily for 28 days.
They also took blood samples before and after, to check for hormone levels and other health
markers like cholesterol.
And the scientists found that the testosterone in the participants' blood decreased to
very low levels — levels that suggested that sperm production was effectively shut
down.
Now, it's important to note though that they didn't actually measure sperm count.
This study was mostly to test whether the pill is safe.
And it seems like it is!
The participants didn't report any significant changes in sex drive, sexual function, or
any serious side effects with their livers or kidneys, which were all potential concerns.
Some men had mild weight gain and increased red blood cell count.
And some had slightly decreased levels of the good form of cholesterol, but these weren't
serious problems.
The research team is starting another study soon that will follow men taking the DMAU
pill for a longer period of time, and take semen samples to measure their sperm production.
So whether it's this team or another than makes the breakthrough... safe, convenient,
reversible male birth control will definitely be a pretty big deal.
And you know who else is a big deal?
