In today's fast paced environment,
it's always appreciated when you have awesome tools at your fingertips when integrating your control system.
Instrument suppliers, such as Endress Hauser, are stepping up to the challenge.
From Ethernet and web enabled devices to Bluetooth connectivity for configuring your industrial instruments,
Endress Hauser is making your system integration easier.
If you enjoy these videos, be sure to click the like button
and subscribe so you don't miss any future videos.
Endress Hauser has a free Bluetooth app called SmartBlue
that can be downloaded and used for the initial configuration of your E&H Picomag flow meters.
To get started, all you need is the SmartBlue app installed on a compatible Bluetooth device
and the serial number of the flow meter you want to configure.
When you open the app, you will see all devices that are within the 10 meter range of connectivity.
Click on the device that you want to configure. You will need to login in order to change any parameters.
The initial login is Admin for the user name and the serial number for the password.
You can see that the menu is operator friendly and easy to use.
Once logged in to the Bluetooth device, you will see the home screen.
On this screen you will see the basic information of the connected device such as the tag name,
device type, serial number, order code, engineering units, etc.
To start the configuration process, click the icon that is three horizontal lines.
This brings up the options menu.
Select application where you can adjust the parameters such as engineering units, outputs, measured values, etc.
Starting with the configuration of system units,
follow the onscreen instructions to select which volume flow unit
you would like to use as well as change any other parameters as needed.
If you need to change the installation direction of the unit,
you can select the sensor option to change the flow direction
to "in arrow or against arrow directions".
You will want to configure the outputs for your system requirements.
Click on output1 and select the preferred output type amongst the five listed.
To complete the configuration of output1, follow the onscreen instructions.
Do the same process for output2.
If conditions in your environment change, you can simply reconnect to this device and change the parameters.
That's about all you need in order to configure your flow meter for initial use.
In order to keep your devices secure, you should change the password after the initial login.
To do so, click the icon that is three horizontal lines, click on system, then Bluetooth configuration,
then change Bluetooth password. Follow the onscreen instructions to change the password.
At this point, you may want to change the tag name as well.
This should be a name that can be associated with the plant process
and easily identified when looking at devices on the network.
Typically, this is a tag name that is identified on process and instrumentation diagrams or panel drawings
and may have the acronym FIT for flow indicating transmitter.
Once you have completed the configuration, you can then install the device
or, if already installed, simply start measuring process flows.
Both flow and temperature are constantly shown on the Picomag display.
One very cool feature of the Picomag is the ability to see the parameter settings in your flow meter.
By simply knocking twice on the unit, the various parameters will be displayed.
The flow meter display will provide real time device status including errors.
Connecting with the app will allow you to find corresponding diagnostic information for errors found,
giving you insight as to the cause of the error condition.
Endress Hauser has made the integration of the flow meter easy and intuitive.
The trouble shooting tools are great and invaluable in keeping the plant operating at peak level.

'What an amazing reversal,' says Moon Jae-in's special advisor | In The News - Duration: 2:25.
What's your reaction so far?
What an amazing reversal. Just a few months ago
we were talking about crisis, war, military actions, now we see the new horizon of
peace on the Korean Peninsula, really amazing reversal.
Remarkable turnaround in terms of the mood and what we see in front of cameras, what kind of advices
have you been giving to the South Korean president in the lead-up to today's summit?
I have been telling the president and the president himself has been
thinking about the importance or primacy of nucleation. Without making North Korea
denuclearized we cannot move forward even an inch. We are hoping to have peace
settlements and the improvement of inter-Korean relations, they are all tied
up to the issue of the North Korean nuclear problem.
So that's the big goal here, long term goal perhaps,
so what do you think, manage our expectations here, what do you think,
what kind of conversation is happening right now, as we speak, in Panmunjom?
Right now he's at lunchtime, but in the afternoon I think that both
leaders will be talking about, you know, denuclearization.
Do you think South Korean President Moon Jae-in will push for that word onto Kim Jong-un to sign?
We're hoping that President Moon Jae-in can persuade Chairman Kim Jong-un to adopt
a joint statement on the denuclearization of North Korea.
It is very important for us to get written in a statement by
North Korean leader Kim Jong-un about denuclearization.
And I just said in my introduction that the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un
saying that he wants to open a new chapter of peace on the Korean Peninsula,
what does he mean by that, do you think he meant denuclearization?
Without making North Korea denuclearize then we cannot open
the new chapter of peace on the Korean Peninsula. That is why from that we can
infer that he's willing to go for denuclearization so that we
can open the new page of peace on the Korean Peninsula.

[3x06] Ámbar gives Simón an advice / Translation - Duration: 3:08.
You should play a little bit better. I'm not saying it was bad

Are you sure Simón?
Why do you think that I'm always the one who is wrong?
Did you never think about that maybe it's the other way?

Because you want to do the right thing in here and always
The thing that is good for the others
Don't you want to be more honest and do what you feel?
I'm really honest Ámbar. Besides that
I couldn't sleep if I knew that I hurt this people
Of course, that's the problem
You're thinking of everyone except of you
That's not good Simón. Sometimes you need to be a little bit egoistic
Who says what's good and what's bad? Come on
You won't tell me that you wouldn't like to be by my side, would you?
What happened?
Don't you want to answer in front of my cousin?
You guys are incredible

Yes you have
We're having a really intensive talk right now
Ámbar
Didn't you notice that I just said that...
Ámbar enough, enough
Okay
You're so much cuter when you get mad. Have I told you that already?
I go. I'll skate at the rink
See you there. Oh no, I won't
You're both not allowed to skate there. It's incredible
Well Ámbar never had good intentions
but she acted
It seems like she doesn't care for anything anymore
Luna, look
What Ámbar and I talked about didn't had anything to do with...
Simón, don't worry. You don't have to explain it to me
What you and Ámbar talked about isn't my business
Okay, I came for something more important
We have to talk to everyone about the Open
We have to make it real, okay?
I like it, I like it. We will make it real, okay

Letters to an Asexual #57 (looking for the missing piece) - Duration: 20:13.
Hey folks, swankivy here with another Letters to an Asexual.
This is number 57.
Uh.
I'm gonna read you a conversation I had some time back with someone on OKCupid.
And, um, I would like to specify that this person was one of those curious sorts that
some of us will recognized as a person that just kinda thinks that their curiosity gives
them the right to ask really uncomfortable, very very personal, intense questions right
from the beginning.
And, you know, these are coming from somebody who's a stranger, and, who has not really
asked permission to go that intensely personal, but um, they um, they seem to think that because
you talk about the subject, anything is fair game.
But I wanna specify that because this person kinda said "Well, my question might offend
you, so I dunno if I can ask it!"
And I invited him to, to go ahead and, and say what he was wondering, that, you know,
that I had opened the gate, that I basically invited him to ask me questions about my genitals,
which he did do.
So, um, again, not an outright rude person, but somebody who really didn't understand
kinda the boundaries for, you know, talking to another person, it's like, you can find
less personal ways of asking these questions, and then of course you'll also see that, uh,
in the conversation, he reveals, kinda, some clear prejudices about what the standard should
be and what deviations from the standard mean about us.
So this conversation, like I said, happened on OKCupid, and if you've never been on OKCupid,
um, especially lately, uh, less so in the past, but especially lately, the way that
the messaging system looks, it kinda looks like a chat window rather than an e-mail window,
and I always used it for more of an e-mail conversation.
I would have longer communications with people, but sometimes people just would send me one
line, and expect me to treat it like a realtime conversation.
And I generally don't do that.
So you'll see evidence of that also in this conversation.
So, the first question that the person sent me, they said that: "So, I've watched quite
a few of your videos.
. . . Rather intriguing.
I do have a few questions as I do find you fascinating.
. . . " So I said, "Okay, sure, if you have questions, you're welcome."
And he begins.
Um, he says, "The first one's probably in the grey area of stuff you would ignore.
. . . If it's okay I'd like to ask it.
How did you realize you were asexual?
Have you ever had sexual relations with a male or female?
I too am a writer by the way.
And as far as your aromance: Have you ever felt romance and/or love?
I'm not talking to you about sex or romance: I've just, I've never been friends with an
asexual before so these questions are purely for educational purposes.
. . . Hopefully you didn't place me on the proverbial sad chair in which you speak of."
And by the way, each of those lines was sent as a separate message, so I kept getting e-mails
over and over again from this.
And after I didn't immediately answer them, I guess after a little while he followed up
with this, and said: "Well, I am sorry I offended you as that was not my intention.
Take care Swankivy."
So I eventually found some time to sit down with these questions, and I responded, and
I said, "I wasn't even online to receive any of the messages you sent at the time you sent
them, and these messages are not real-time conversation, so I think it's really weird
that you preemptively assumed my lack of immediate response meant I must be offended.
I wasn't.
If you do respond to this, please do afford me some time to respond instead of writing
your own meaning into my silence.
Though I do appreciate that you're respectful about other people's boundaries and you don't
wanna violate mine.
I don't mind if people ask questions as long as they also demonstrate a willingness to
look at my educational materials for an introduction, and you seem to have done that.
I don't think anything you asked was too out there.
How I realized I was asexual?
Pretty much like anyone realizes their sexual orientation, except it's usually a little
more complicated for asexual people since 'nothing' can also mean 'not yet' for a while
if you're a late bloomer.
For me it was just nobody seemed attractive and even though I could like a person as a
friend I never felt a romantic or sexual desire for them, so I just called myself nonsexual
and figured if that changed then I would change what I called myself.
It didn't change, so I didn't either.
On aromance: I have a few very close people in my life, but the love I feel for them isn't
romantic.
I find that some people think that means I 'can't love,' but that's not really how I'd
describe it.
It's just not romantic.
These are people I've had very close relationships with for more than fifteen years, and we're
very devoted to each other, but our relationship isn't romantic, and I don't need it to be
for us to feel like it's lifelong.
On sexual experience: I've never been interested in sex, but I've kissed a few people (various
genders) and had a couple relationships where they wanted to experiment with more intimate
stuff.
I didn't like any of it and none of it went as far as something I'd call sex.
I've heard a lot of 'you don't know until you try it' in high school, but I doubted
that I would suddenly love the sex part if I didn't love any of the other parts that
people thought were so good.
Great to hear you're a writer.
I usually have pretty good conversations with other writers on here.
We tend to have a lot in common with each other.
You don't have match questions answered though."
So he comes back with a response and says, "My apologies, I'm somewhat new to OKCupid
but now I realize that I had speculated more than anything (it showed that you were on-line
but I had not received a response back so I made a warranted assumption I suppose).
I'm just pondering right now and am trying to understand (pardon for my ignorance).
So, you've had 'experiences' with various genders but was not aroused?
Have you ever tried stimulating your clitoris on your own?
Are you familiar with the hypothalamus and its functions?
(The reasons I ask is because I'm still trying to determine whether your asexuality is caused
by psychological or physiological means.)
You have regular menstrual cycles I presume?
After viewing some of your videos I've realized that you're quite popular on YouTube.
Also, you have a cute voice."
So, I responded with this: "'It showed you were on-line'--I think the app 'shows you're
online' if you've logged in recently.
I don't know when it counts you as not being online anymore.
Maybe a session has to expire.
All I know is if I sign on for a second I sometimes get bombarded for hours.
Based on your questions, you're coming at the concept of asexuality with the attitude
of 'So what's missing?
What's wrong or malfunctioning?
What didn't she try?
What's she overlooking?
what's "the explanation" for what's making her different from most people?'
If you can kinda ride with me here, I'd appreciate if you'd look at this a different way.
Asexual people don't find people sexually attractive.
It's not because they forgot to try pressing their happy buttons, or because a gland in
their brain didn't work right, or because they must have hormone problems or be stunted,
or because they have a psychological problem.
They just . . . don't really think people are sexy.
Or rather, maybe they think people are sexy but they just don't care.
That's it.
I promise.
It's about as simple and as complicated as anyone else's sexual orientation: a set of
circumstances, physical elements, past experiences, attitudes, and desires combine in different
ways for different people, and for some of us, that adds up to asexual.
It wouldn't be accurate or complete to say 'well people are straight because their hormones
make them wanna reproduce,' and similarly, there is not a single issue that explains
asexuality for everyone.
I think it's natural to wonder the things you have, but I also am trying to spread awareness
to the willing about how we'd like to be viewed.
We're trying to push the understanding that for about 1 in every 100 people, not being
attracted to anyone is just how we are.
Beyond that, people don't get diagnosed straight or gay by a doctor, and they usually don't
feel obligated to methodically test every hypothesis and take medical tests to make
sure something isn't off.
(Obviously you can have a sickness that will affect your perception of sexuality, or your
libido, or your sexual performance, but these generally have other symptoms as well.)
It's just actually not that weird to be asexual.
And while some people in our community do have other conditions or psychological/experiential
aspects that may contribute to how they view sex and willingness to engage in it, that's
actually true for everyone.
But there are certainly scientific investigations that are worth carrying out on people of any
sexual orientation, and asexual people have not been exempt.
There are several dozen studies about asexuality.
A few of them do approach physical aspects and are devoted to measuring people's sexual
responses or comparing their hormone measurements with what's typical.
We generally aren't physically different from typical people on any unusual level--our incidences
of hormone irregularities, intersex variations, and comorbility--comorbidity with mental illnesses
or trauma are comparable to those of the typical population.
Though we sometimes have more issues with depression and anxiety (on the same levels
as the LGB and T populations, depending) if we live in an environment that has pressured
us or made us feel broken or marginalized.
If you're interested in what scientific research has been done on asexual people, this is a
pretty good list."
And I linked him.
"One study called 'Physiological and Subjective Sexual Arousal in Self-Identified Asexual
Women' focused on arousal experiences and shares measurable data, and Anthony Bogaert's
'Asexuality: Dysfunction or variation' concludes there is no reason to view asexuality as a
dysfunction.
Bogaert has also written the only full asexuality-specific textbook.
And Andrew Hinderliter's 'How is asexuality different from hypoactive sexual desire disorder?'
examines how a disorder associated with not wanting sex is distinct from a sexual orientation
of not experiencing sexual attraction.
I hope this didn't sound like a bunch of science babble.
It's just that bringing up the hypothalamus (and asking me whether I knew what it does)
suggests to me that you're interested in the medical/experimental side of what asexuality
is, so I assume I'm speaking your language.
Ignore me if I am not.
Regarding my popularity on YouTube: Yeah, you could say that!
I reached 5,000 subscribers not too long ago, which I thought is pretty respectful--a pretty
respectable milestone for such a niche subject.
I'm glad you like my voice.
I thought about getting into voice acting once upon a time."
So he responds again, and says, "What I found intriguing is that asexual people can enjoy
sex but do not desire it (it took me a second to analyze that sentence).
You probably would be good at it if you tried (but again, you have no desire and I respect
that).
One thing I must say though is you looked so cute in one of your YouTube videos pretending
to be flirtatious/sexual.
Okay, enough about sex (or should I say the lack there of lol).
What do you like to do for fun?"
Ahhh.
So I said this: "Some asexual people can enjoy sex, sure--and some asexual people can't or
won't.
For a lot of us, not being sexually attracted to a partner can be as unappealing as, say,
a straight man not being attracted to another man but still having sex with him.
For a lot of straight men, having sex with another man would be completely out of the
question.
That's how it is for a lot of us too, except we live in a society that expects us to do
it and shames us as selfish if we won't.
But then there are some (a minority) that don't really mind it or might even actively
like it because their feelings about sex don't have to be connected to their feelings about
the person they're having it with.
Not really my business though.
I'm not one of them.
Really not into talking about whether I'd be good at sex, or how cute you think I look
pretending not to be sexual--asexual (don't know which one that is, but maybe 'Shit People
Say to Asexuals,' where we all pretended to not be asexual).
And though I'm happy to talk about what I do for fun, I did write a LOT in my profile
about exactly that, so if you have something to bounce off of that you think we have in
common or could talk about, that'd be a great place to start!"
And then he says, one more time, and says, "I should've been a little more specific:
Aside from dinner and a movie, what do you like to do with other people for fun?
Unless you make writing a group effort (that's always fun)."
And I actually didn't answer that.
Because I just felt like a lot of these questions were kind of like jokingly flirting with me,
just, every message had something like, hint hint, wink wink, nudge nudge in it.
And I don't know, I just didn't feel like the person was engaging with me as a whole
entity, I guess.
I could be wrong, but I don't know, I just didn't feel like um, the person was really
talking to me as a person.
Um, so I don't know, maybe I gave up too soon, but uh, sometimes you get these uh, borderline
messages where you don't feel like the person did anything that was outright hey-don't-do-this
kind of category, but at the same time, you just don't really feel like um, the person
is listening all the way, or they're coming to the conversation with uh, beliefs about
sexuality that they're not leaving at the door when they come into the conversation.
So um, there's my example of that kind of conversation, which it's so hard to have those
conversations sometimes, because you wanna be open, you wanna be an activist, you wanna
be able to bring people in and help them learn, ahh, but then, sometimes they just tax your
resources, and they don't do um, enough of the searching themselves, I guess.
Um, I mean, for somebody that seemed really interested in the scientific aspect of it,
they seemed to have done no research on what's already been dug up in studies, and I don't
know, um, watching a bunch of my YouTube videos and coming back with the takeaway, like, "You
got a cute voice!
What do you do for fun?"
You know, it's like, I just don't feel like this is a conversation I wanna continue, so
let me see, this, ahh, when was this conversation?
Looks like I saved that in August 2016.
So I mean, that's a good while ago, um, and uh, ahhhhhhhhh, uh.
Yeah, um, That was a good while ago, and um, I still get uh, questions like these, I still
get, uh, conversations that I just don't really know what to do with, and um, you know, at
that time, there was, less research out there to find but it was definitely out there.
Um, I had had my book published since, you know, a couple of years before that, and uh,
you know, and when I was doing my research for my book, all I had to do was ask the question
in Google and I found lots of perspectives from people, and scientific research as well
as personal perspectives, and it just seems like a lot of the time, um, you know, when
somebody asks me, "Hey, have you played with your clitoris?
And do you know what a hypothalamus is?"
I'm like, ummm, I mean, you know you're talking to somebody who has done a lot of research,
right?
I mean, how come you're not doing this research if you're actually curious about these things,
versus just wanting me to explain 'em to you?
So, I don't know, um, sometimes you just kinda get weary of having the conversations that
uh, that don't bring enough of their own research to the table, I guess.
Um, and some of them feel like, "Okay, this is a good conversation topic, this is something
we both have an interest in," but I feel more like I'm getting interviewed.
And, you know, I don't really wanna explain the whole thing to you when you're asking
these questions, I, I'd rather just kind of point you to a place where you can read more
about it, and if you wanna talk to ME, talk to ME about something where you're not looking
for information and I'm providing you with information, like, we can have a back and
forth about something, you know, like, my experiences with other people living in the
world as an asexual person, I have a lot of stories, and some of them lead to conversations
where I'll volunteer those things, you don't have to even ask me.
But this was not one of those conversations where I really felt like I was getting anything
out of it, so maybe that's where I start to draw the line these days.
Um, anyway, so I'm obviously pretty tired, ahhhhh, gosh.
I'm yawning on film again.
Okay, I'm gonna go ahead and end this video.
I'll see y'all next time okay?

Macron and Trump: An inspiration for all of us? - Duration: 2:46.
Emmanuel Macron was visiting Donald Trump in Washington and all we are talking about is the body language.
For example how they are cleaning each other's shoulder.
Donald Trump does it with the index finger and he appears a little bit dominant.
Why is he appearing dominant?
That reminds us of primates. If the alpha gorilla is supported by a lower standing gorilla during a fight,
the alpha gorilla shows gratefulness by grooming his new friend.
And grooming means cleaning the other gorilla. That is a signal of dominance.
Because mostly it is done by the higher standing for the lower standing.
That is why mommy is cleaning the mouth of the child. Not the other way around.
And when we see how they hug each other, we must not forget that also Emmanuel Macron is quite dominant.
Because he set the rules and he set the benchmark.
From the first moment of their encounter he was looking for physical contact.
That is a french culture thing. Because in France physical contact is more the rule, is an everyday program.
He is used to that. That's is why he is looking much more elegant when touching Donald Trump.
And when we see how he is grabbing the shoulder of Donald Trump in that scene the shoulder of Donald Trump,
we might think that is a signal of dominance.
But to be honest, that is also the only way how a man can grab the body of another man.
Of course he also could have grabbed the hips of Donald Trump but that would make a completely different impression.
So when we see the high frequency of physical contact, we see that that makes a huge impression on us.
And you know what?
Too often we see politicians standing side-by-side with a body language like this.
And now we saw two politicians hugging each other, looking for physical contact, even grooming each other.
Could that be an inspiration also for us?

An Employee Engagement System You've Never Seen Before! Organizational Behavior Management - Duration: 10:17.
If you're tired of your boss only recognizing your performance at the end
of the year at a performance evaluation or just pointing out what you do wrong
we'll take a look at this clip because it's for you Lisa Cassidy I'm so pumped
about the project that we're working on and everything you've been doing with it
so Lisa is one of the leaders of the social skills programs where we go into
the community and Lisa and the team and BDA has come up with an effective way of
providing frequent immediate positive reinforcement for staff for great
engagement of social skills with the with learners so what's pretty exciting
is I'm do you want to show the cameras like every every staff member on
a community activity with it with a learner has their company ID and then on
the back of it there's a bar scan code just like you would have at a grocery
store where scanning items and what Lisa does is when she identifies excellent
performance by a staff member when they're out on the community activity
what Lisa does is she recognizes what they're doing
walks up says awesome job engaging with the learner and she scans the back of
their ID which has the bar scan and then at the end of the day she circulates the
number of points that each person got for scans so each scan has a certain
number of points and it's really cool because at the end of the week there's
an email that goes to them telling them the total points they've accumulated for
excellent performance on the job and what our plans are now is to once a week
spin the wheels on a variable ratio schedule and the staff are going to earn
dollar amounts based on the number of points they get for scans the more
frequent immediate reinforcement is way better for Lisa to deliver using a
scanning motion than it is to wait for two weeks for a bonus so what happens is
it's a conditioned reinforcer and the staff is like oh shit okay I just got
recognized for doing something great and they're rewarded for their performance
as opposed to just waiting for two weeks and seeing if they get some kind of
bonus so they so the principles of behavior analysis and performance
management are totally executed in an awesome way because of the fact that
it's immediate it's frequent and it's small amounts and those three behavioral
principles are what drive high levels of peak performance and what's cool is
someone like Lisa who's highly skilled at identifying great performance by
staff she catches it and she scans them what are some things that you look for
when you scan someone and give them a delivery of a reward what are some
things you look for engagement I like watching them like have other
kids interact with each other that's really cool especially when they get in
like play games like at the pool when they're playing catch yeah also scam
just for doing like wearing their ID or exchanging the L OS the use of the L OS
yeah so the level of supervision card just for you guys that don't know it we
think that's the most important factor for safety in the community because
therapeutic ABA services are great and they're important however safety is the
most important thing in the community so when you take learners out in the
community one of the big challenges is making sure there's a level of
supervision card which which indicates all the most important critical
information to keep that child safe like whether or not they're supposed to be
arm's length whether or not they have any allergies or any important factors
that keep the learner safe because we think the safety takes a higher priority
than the ABA therapy because safety obviously is the most important thing so
I love what you're doing because you're you're catching them with
level of supervision card making sure they have it and then yours you're
rewarding them just for having it we're having it for using it and for returning
it that's awesome so I really think that the future and I know Lisa shares this
vision with me the future of performance management and staff engagement and
creating excellent performance from staff members whatever the industry is
is going to be based on some sort of paperless system of scanning people on
the spot using blockchain I think blockchain not not necessarily
that all the Bitcoin crap but there'll be some form of cryptocurrency that it's
after she scans them and recognizes their excellent performance the manager
scans it and then there's going to be some form of the use of blockchain and
that'll be the future and then people will get deposits in their accounts
immediately that day or maybe that minute for excellent performance so it's
just my I hope hope I can be historically correct on this but I think
you know it might be 50 years from now but I'd like to go on record that hope
in 50 years from now managers that use good behavioral principles are going to
be going around delivering immediate frequent reinforcement through the use
of a scan type system like this it doesn't take the place of her just
generally saying you did an awesome job you know it doesn't take the place of
that I'm still doing that yeah I'm just doing it with it that's awesome
I really think that'll be that'll be the future because right now things are
going paperless as it is most companies are doing annual performance reviews and
that there's no way that that's effective at changing employee
performance or producing excellent performance people are paid by the hour
not by they're not paid by their level of performance they're paid by the hour
or by salary both but what lisa is doing is moving the ball forward just a few
inches to make sure that people are highly rewarded for every engagement of
every action they take on the job which i think is just freakin incredible what
other things do you kind of look for to catch an and recognize and scan what a
so l OS cards great engagement what's an example of great engagement that you
would catch staff doing like I've seen bring her learner over to another
learner and have them communicate with each other cool so I'll just write up
and be like created a social skills moment between two learners by bringing
one over right having them communicate with each other appropriately and then
you saw it and anyone over and scan it exactly and the VC is on duty - I tell
them keep an eye out and they'll let me know if they see something then I'll run
off and I'll scan it so there's two eyes so the board certified behavior analyst
will be on the activity floating around supervising and coaching people and then
they'll let Lisa know hey they deserve a scan so the keys to everything are the
behavioral principles are being taken to a whole nother level through immediate
frequent small amounts of reinforcement which shapes successive approximation
towards excellent employee performance as opposed to wait until the end of the
year and hoping you get a bonus so our hopes are that we can quickly get it so
that they're getting it they're getting the immediate reinforcement of her
scanning and saying thank you you did an awesome job they're getting immediate
reinforcement at the end of the shift by seeing it is somewhat public posting a
performance because she circulates by text the number of points the thing is
received right yep and then they should be also getting a dollar amount based on
the number of points they have and a wheel spin so that way it all translates
the dollars this is an a/b design so it doesn't mean that there's robust
functional control for all you ABA geeks like me well this is not going to show
experimental control what we would need is a multiple baseline across behaviors
or across employees or across settings and then what Lisa will do is stagger
the the time she implements it for the multiple baseline to another time that
way you can determine if the behavior change is occurring due to the
intervention or not so we're gonna end up running a multiple baseline which is
really cool I would say there's probably some risks there's probably some risks
too high levels of engagement and let me ask you if you know what they are there
could be risks to the learner not getting the best services if there's
real high levels of engagement what are they I'm just quizzing you the learner
becomes dependent on the CA he doesn't fade back yeah but I'll still I will
still reinforce for that if I see the learners engaging like I can still say
great job baby back your learners doing yeah so yeah in order to rule out the
concern that we have where if they're over engaging too much the learners
become prompt dependent on the staff to say do this do that
there's too much engagement so then they're not feeding but now you can
start identifying the staff that are slowly fading their prompts yep and what
would be an example of a prompt feed that you would reward for the staff for
feeding what's an example of something you might reward well if they're
learners are engaging they can start the engagement and then kind of take a few
steps back let it go exactement so yeah the spatial or the spacial
proximity so you're actually going to reward the performance of the staff
member that kind of fades back instead of hovering over them exactly awesome
you could you could start reinforcing the feeding of prompts from heavy verbal
and physical prompts to stepping back and just gesturing right and then that's
so awesome because you're shaping successive approximations and that's a
that's that's the optimal way of avoiding them being over engaged and
then creating dependency okay it's awesome
you

The Top 5 Wine Myths from an Advanced Sommelier🍷 | Evite Original - Duration: 2:47.
- Hi, I'm Rina Bussell, advanced sommelier
and it's time for my top five.
(calm music)
Today we'll be talking about my top five wine myths.
There's a perception that if a
rose is dark, it's bad, not true.
These wines are actually made from Mourvedre
which is a thick skinned grape that actually
imparts almost a maroon hue to the wine.
These wines are actually really highly sought after
and they're really food friendly.
There's a common misconception that all Riesling are sweet
and that's not the case at all.
The best known region for Rieslings is from Germany.
Actually, their original style was drier.
Check out the label from Germany.
If it says trocken on it, that means that it's dry.
If a wine comes from a bad vintage,
you shouldn't buy or drink it, totally false.
So, what is a vintage?
A vintage is a wine made from a specific year.
In many years that are unfavorable,
there are producers from, say, France and Italy
that will actually declassify their grapes.
This means that they take their grapes
that were meant for their top shelf wine
and they will blend that into the wines
that are made for their entry level.
So, you'll actually maybe get some
better wine in those particular years.
This myth is all about serving temperatures.
You have to serve a white wine or a sparkling ice cold
and you have to serve a red wine at room temperature,
and if you serve a wine too cold, it mutes the aromas
and flavors, but if you serve a wine too warm,
then it brings out more undesirable
effects and volatile aromas in the wine.
If you're not afraid to experiment, then try this.
55 degrees is a median temperature
and go warmer or cooler from that.
This myth has to do with decanting.
People believe that all red wines need to be decanted
or that there is a certain cache to a decanter
that if they ask for their wine to be decanted
that it means that it's a little bit fancier.
This is not true.
There are two reasons why you should decant a wine.
Number one is for aeration.
You open up the wine at a faster process
by introducing oxygen to the wine through the decanter.
The second reason is for decanting off the sediment
or those little particles at the bottom
of the glass that you don't wanna drink.

NASA Space | A Black Widow Pulsar Consumes its Mate - Duration: 10:02.
[music]
[music]
Narrator: When a massive star
explodes as a supernova, its core may be crushed into one of two types
of compact remnant: a black hole, or a neutron star.
Neutron stars are the size of a city, but
contain more mass than our sun. They rotate rapidly, host
powerful magnetic fields, and produce beams of radiation that emit a wide
range of energy. When we detect pulses as the beams sweep over
Earth, the object is known as a pulsar. Paul Ray: They can spin at
many times per second on their axis; the fastest pulsars spin over 700 times
per second. And that rapidly spinning massive object, generates
extremely strong magnetic fields and accelerates particles to
high energies. And we see that those accelerated particles
emitting energy in the form of gamma rays, x-rays, and radio waves.
And when that beam sweeps past the line of sight to the Earth we see it pulse on
and that's why they're named pulsars. Narrator: The most
sensitive tool for observing pulsars in gamma-ray light is NASA's
Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. Fermi scans the entire
sky for high-energy sources and has found many previously undetected
gamma-ray emitters. Scientists have identified many of these,
but for some, the source of the gamma rays remains unknown.
Roger W. Romani: I got interested a couple years ago in trying to find the
limits of what Fermi can discover, how extreme these objects can be, and
in order to do that I focused on the set of objects that are
relatively bright and well measured by Fermi and
found that virtually all of them have now been identified. At present, when I started
this project,there were only six objects which we hadn't figured out what they were yet.
Despite intense searches, at radio, with radio wave lengths,
which is the standard way in which people find pulsars--and also looking at the gamma rays
themselves--no pulsations had been seen. So something was unique
about these six objects and I thought, that's where the discovery space is going to be.
If we can track down what those are, we will have a good chance of finding something new.
We took this small set of six objects and attacked them
with a number of wave bands, but I think the thing that helped us make the greatest progress
was looking in the optical, in visible light. Now this may seem a little bit unusual
for studying the high-energy gamma-ray universe, but, it turns out that
many of these objects seem to have optical counterparts. And if you can figure out what the
visible light counterpart of an object is, you're long ways along the
track to understanding what it's all about. Paul Ray: It was Roger
Romani's optical observations that discovered a counterpart
to the gamma-ray source that showed a binary period that was
indicative of this potentially being a binary millisecond pulsar. Alice Harding: It brightened, and it
dimmed, and brightened, and so this looked like we were
looking at possibly something which was
irradiated by a companion pulsar. And that every
time you're looking at the bright face you see a bright optical source and when
it rotates away from you, and you see the dark face, you don't see anything.
Roger Romani: We managed to get enough observations of the object to piece together its orbital
period, and found, remarkably, that it was an incredibly
heated object--blue white on one side, deep, deep red on the other--
that was orbiting around something invisible with an orbital period of about
one and a half hours. Now, that's faster then any spin powered
pulsar ever known, and indicates that it's a really, really tight system
and that the gamma rays are blasting the companion at point-blank range.
Our colleagues in Germany managed to use the orbital period
that we measured to search in the gamma rays directly and, with a computational
tour de force, managed to find the pulse signal of the pulsar
directly in the gamma rays themself. Holger Pletsch: What I'm
doing is blind searches for pulsars so that we
try to find pulsars that have not been seen before. So you don't know
how fast the pulsar is spinning, where exactly it is sitting in the sky.
To do that, you have basically to try, every possible combination of
parameters--if they match your data output stream. So the problem is
that the number of possible combinations is tremendously high, so the
straightforward brute force approach is impossible. The computation power you would
need would be in excess of what is available in the whole planet.
So our work is to invent more efficient methods to do that.
The basic method is analogous to zooming.
It's similar to changing your objectives
of your microscope, in favor of one of higher magnification, so you look at
one interesting point on the slide, and then you zoom in on that.
And then you further zoom in if it still is interesting. To find the pulsations
in the gamma ray data requires about
5,000 cpu days. So if you do it
on your laptop you need 5,000 days, but if you
have 5,000 laptops, you only need one day. And so
that is the path we took because we have a computing cluster that is called Atlas
at the Albert Einstein Institute in Hannover and that computing facility
we used for this analysis and it was immediately clear.
This is a detection, so it's, it cannot be a noise fluctuation
because it's so loud in the data.
Narrator: A pulsar, that was a strong gamma ray source yet showed no radio signature
intrigued researchers. Among them was Paul Ray of the
Naval Research Laboratory. He and his team thought they might have a solution to the
puzzling lack of radio emission. Paul Ray: When we first discovered the
system I looked back at our archival radio observations and none of them
showed detections of this pulsar. We think that nearly all pulsars do emit
radio waves. The radio beam is emitted for most pulsars
from a region above the polar cap of the star, and that means it's a tightly concentrated
flashlight-type beam. In a system like this where there's wind being blown
off the companion star, there's a lot of obscuring material along the line of sight.
It might be that it is a radio pulsar and we just couldn't see it.
And the one way to confront that is to use a higher radio frequency,
that's more penetrating, that's less affected by the scattering in the intervening
material. And so we went and made an observation with the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank
Telescope run by the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in West Virginia,
at a much higher frequency than typical radio observations. And it was in one
of those observations that we first saw the signal from the system. And it
appears that it is most of the time obscured by the material
from its companion. Narrator: A combination of radio
optical, and gamma-ray data allowed astronomers to assemble a
complete picture of the system. It turned out to be a rare black widow
binary where a rejuvenated pulsar is gradually evaporating a low
mass companion star. Alice Harding: They get this name because they are in
very close systems, with the companion star being close enough to the
neutron star, that the neutron star is irradiating the companion.
So the neutron star is producing a wind of energetic particles and
magnetic fields, and also all the gamma rays that are radiated. All this
hits the companion star and heats it up to very
high temperatures, but only on one side. So the side that's
towards the neutron star gets blasted by this pulsar wind.
Paul Ray: And it has been whittled away over billions of years to where it now is
only about 8 times the mass of Jupiter. Alice Harding: This whole system is about the size
of the Earth-Moon system, so it's very compact.
Paul Ray: We see the pulsar at the center, spinning, and emitting beams of
radio and gamma rays. The radio waves are represented by the green,
and the gamma rays are represented by the magenta. That radiation that
impinges on the star is blowing off clouds of ionized material
that are collecting around the system, and that's what obscures the radio emission.
So we see that most of the time, the radio represented in green only
makes it to that obscuring material, and not through it. While the gamma rays
which are much more penetrating go right through.
Roger W. Romani: It turns out that in as far as it's a pulsar, it's not so very unusual.
What's unusual about it is this binary system, and the binary
system seems to have--through its history--allowed this neutron star
pulsar to accrete enormous amounts of mass. The measurements to date
suggest that it is very heavy indeed, and heavy neutron stars push
the absolute extreme of the densest matter in our visible universe. I say
this because many people think of black holes as being exotic and the most extreme objects
known, but after all, a black hole has collapsed to the point where
nothing is visible, it's black. A neutron star is an object that's
on the hairy edge of becoming a black hole, yet is still visible in our universe.
Hence the study of the these ultra-massive neutron stars
gives us the opportunity to study the most extreme matter in our visible universe.
If this fellow is as heavy as he seems, he pushes
that study to a new horizon, to a region of density
and pressure which has never previously been seen.

- Nice to see you.
Thank you, there we go.
God, wow, (mumbling).
Julio Iglesias, I love it.
It's terrific, isn't he?
Got the language down and everything.
Do you feel this?
(laughing)
In San Francisco, they're running at this point.
I'm doing a lot of traveling, it's,
went to Europe.
People in here travel to Europe?
(audience members cheering)
It sucks.
It is so, the food, people think the food's great.
I was in Spain, they fry everything in Spain.
Everything is fried.
At night, if you listen real carefully,
you hear this.
(groans)
It's actually the hardening of the arteries
of the population of Madrid.
And the bathrooms in Europe.
They're horrible.
They are, I came home, I kissed my toilet,
it's the first thing I did.
Because we have the American standard,
that's why it says American Standard.
We have the greatest toilets in the world.
There's nothing, the toilet paper in Spain?
You could cut diamonds with it.
I'm sitting on the bowl filing my nails
with a sheet of it going, oh, this is gonna hurt.
I try to do a lot of traveling.
Want to go to a foreign country?
Go to Canada.
(hooting and hollering)
You from Canada?
Canada's great, most of it.
Which part are you from?
- [Audience Member] Toronto.
- Oh, that sucks.
(laughing)
No, Canada's great.
I went there, if you want to go to
a foreign country, they look like us,
they sound like us, it's like America lite.
(laughing)
It's great, the only difference is, you have
like speed limits, you have kilometers per hour,
we have miles per hour.
Kilometers are what, double?
I crossed the border in Washington, I see signs,
speed limit 120.
(laughing)
I'm cruising.
I saw a sign, school zone, slow down to 60.
(laughing)
The least I could do.
Very fast children in Canada.
They just bolt out there.
I also got a, today I went to the mall.
I went to this place called The Beverly Center.
If you don't know what it is, it's a very
upscale type of place.
Too many rich people go there.
I saw somebody show up in a Mercedes Benz
station wagon.
What kind of moron buys a Mercedes Benz
station wagon?
What do they do, walk into the showroom
and go, you know, I need something to haul
some crap around in?
You have something for 90 thou?
It's like buying Rolls Royce pickup.
(laughing)
Give me that Lamborghini van, ooh, that's pretty.
So I go to this mall, it has indoor parking,
I mean, you know, any type of mall,
I get stopped for speeding indoors.
I couldn't believe it.
You always see those signs, speed limit
five miles per hour.
You can't drive five miles per hour.
You start your car, you're doing what, seven?
I get pulled over by security.
They weren't even in a car.
(laughing)
They're running alongside me.
I felt like I was the president in a parade.
(laughing)
I have no idea what this guy wants.
I roll down my window, he sticks his face in
and he goes, do you have any idea how fast
you were going?
I don't know, six?
(laughing)
I'm young, I'm nuts, I'm crazy.
Well, we have you on radar.
You were going nine.
Nine?
(laughing)
I laugh in your face.
My car shimmies at eight.
Silly things.
Getting older, thank God.
That's the best thing to do is get older.
Once you stop, you're dead.
My hair is starting to come in gray,
my nose hair, I'm dying it now with a magic
marker every morning.
It's not working, but I'm getting very high.
I really don't care.
My testicles are getting bigger.
What the hell is with that, guys, huh?
You wake up one morning and all of sudden
you have luggage with you.
Like, you sit down on a chair naked
and go, this doesn't have padding, oh my god.
Getting older.
I want to teach you a practical joke.
You're gonna need some jokes to tell
people you were at a place, you heard jokes.
Anybody here could do this joke.
Only use it when you need a real laugh,
when you really have to get somebody to really
laugh with you.
Go in somebody's car, by the way, you shouldn't
like this person.
(laughing)
Because he's gonna get hurt, okay?
He might even die, but you know, it's real funny,
so try it, okay?
Go in a person's car, you sit in the back seat,
let them drive, go anywhere you have
to pay a toll, when you get to that toll booth,
quietly lie down in the back seat,
put your hands behind your back and do this.
(muffled screaming)
(laughing)
And you'll laugh.
Thank you.
You've been terrific, thank you.

Soldier Panics When Flight To See Dying Dad Is Cancelled, Then A Stranger Sneaks Up With
An Unexpected Offer
It's never easy living and working away from family.
For soldier Brittany Bunker she was on duty when she got an upsetting message from her
family.
She was told her father's health was deteriorating and she needed to return home to see him as
soon as possible.
Thanks to her understanding leadership she was able to take emergency leave to fly home
– a journey which would involve four flights.
But her first flight took off late which meant she was going to miss the next one.
"I was freaking out," she said.
As she waited to board her second flight, a man walked up to her.
He had noticed Brittany's service dog, Shiva, and showed her pictures of his own dog.
The conversation helped to calm Brittany down but not for long as she was then told her
last flight home had been canceled.
She, along with airline staff, scrambled to find a solution to get her home.
Among all the chaos the man she had been talking to approached her and gave her some news that
left her stunned.
"He told me he was arranging for a professional driving company to drive me from the airport
straight to my house, all at his expense," Brittany said.
"I was apprehensive at first, but he showed the receipts to the flight attendants and
when the driver arrived, he sent them a picture of the car, the license plate and the driver.
"Before I left, he said all he wanted in return was for me to let him know I made it
home.
The driver drove me from Chicago Airport, almost 5 hours to my front door.
I got home about 3 a.m. on Wednesday April 4.
The driver told me that it cost the man almost $900."
Thanks to this man's act of kindness Brittany was able to get home and say goodbye to her
father.
He died the next day on April 5.
"There really are good people in this world, and I will never be able to thank him enough
for what he did," Brittany said.
"But I hope that one day I will be able to pay it forward to someone in need like
it was done for me."
What an amazing act of kindness!

Drink Up Luzhou - An international talk show: Food | pilot episode - Duration: 17:59.
Alright
Cheers, guys! Thank you so much
From the beginning to great things
Yes
So, as a topic, I wanted to throw out
What's the best meal you've ever eaten in your life?
(Andrea) For us it's very easy (Yiyue) It's very easy
It was that goat we had two days ago
It was this square with all the restaurants
We found that they had one where they cook, like
A whole goat for you
Uh-huh
And then they serve it, like, on the spit roast
All on the table
That night it [was] 12 people
But possibly, like, two people would be the best
[laugh]
Like, if we can go for lunch there
Are you serious?
But it was really, really good. Really amazing
Was it spicy? What did it taste like?
No, it was like ... (Angela) It's not?
It looked spicy. (Andrea) No, not so spicy. More like ...
that powder they put on meat here
Not the super spicy one
Like this powder here?
Kind of, but less spicy than that
It's funny because the restaurant
is like super classy looking
And then you have this roasted goat in the middle
and everyone like [eating noises]
Wow. A dream come true
[laugh]
I'm definitely a big fan of spicy food, so ...
Especially Sichuan food
Because it's got a lot of different flavors
The sauce makes it taste good
So if the sauce is good, then it tastes good
And the good bairou is supposed to be very thin
So the people who cut the meat we call dunzi
Can you cook it?
I can!
(Emily) Yeah? (Angela) Yeah, I can cook it. Yeah
Then we are coming to your house
Yeah, you should
[Laugh]
You should
Cool
Well for me, what I can think of now is
some kind of chicken house, or a chicken franchise
we call it Nando's
Do you guys have Nando's in America?
I've heard of it in England, but not in America.
OK so in Africa, I think it's only in Namibia
and South Africa that I know they have Nando's
India also has Nando's. I went there last holiday
So I had a little bit of a taste
home when I went to India
So that would actually be
my favorite meal at this point
When it comes to Luzhou
I also leave the meat part ...
because we don't usually get a chance
to eat a lot of meat in China
It's usually small pieces or it's bones
At home, when you get served meat
does it have quite so many bones like here in China?
No, most of it is meat
Right! (Baku) We don't run out of meat in Namibia
But you can't find a T-bone steak anywhere in China
Unless you might have to pay a lot of money for it
Or can you?
What?
A T-bone steak
I don't usually eat that, so ...
[laugh]
Downstairs there's the steak restaurant
have you guys ever eaten there?
Yeah
What do you think of that as a steak restaurant?
It was not that bad in the beginning, some years ago
Yeah, some years ago it was very famous and popular
Do Chinese people eat steak?
I think we do
It's popular because it's kind of new to Chinese people
especially people here, like, they don't usually eat it
so they just bring people this kind of a thing
like, this is new and it's, like, western food
I just feel like, how can they cook a steak so fast
like, in five minutes
[laugh]
So I doubt it's, like, authentic
But many people, they don't get the chance
to eat the real steak
The first steak I had in China was a CSC steak
CSC? They have steak?
Yeah, they have steak where they put this kind of sauce
that is not so attractive to the eye
[laugh]
I ordered the steak, and then it arrived
but the texture of the beefsteak in China
and the one we eat back in Namibia
the quality is very different. I don't think yours is ...
You brought it up, the authentic question ...
it ain't!
You? (Emily) I ate [at CSC] one time
Throughout your life in Luzhou?
Yeah, I had a friend brought me there
and we had some ...
some drink with, like, the gelatinous little balls
in the bottom
[laugh]
We usually tell them to take away those ...
when we buy tea or any other drinks
we tell them [Chinese] "We don't want those things"
[Chinese] "That stuff. We don't want it. We don't want it."
I don't want stuff in my drink
Oh, and I definitely love dumplings
[laugh]
I'll miss the Chinese dumplings when I go home
definitely. Yeah
I was surprised , when we moved to Lijiang last year
that, um, everywhere is mixian
they don't do, like ...
they don't do the noodles like here
And I was, like, really disappointed
[laugh]
mixian are good
I mean, I like mixian, but I also want, like, a ...
niurou ... niuroumian
Oh, the noodles in Luzhou are really good
Like, they have different kinds of soup
Like, I heard people say, like, the noodles in Chengdu
are all almost, seems like, kind of similar
But here, like, you have different kind of a noodle
Like, you go to a noodle restaurant and you can see, like
probably, like, 20 or 30 different kinds of noodles
It was very unfortunate for me when I travel, 'cause ...
apart from the fact that sometimes you are shy
then you go up to a Chinese restaurant
and then your Chinese is not that good
[laugh]
And then ...
you need to ask them what you want to eat
or what kind of food they have
because obviously the [menu] that's on the wall
[in Chinese] I can't read
[laugh]
Apart from that, usually when I travel
I don't try to eat the ... or
I don't get the chance to eat the local food in other cities
Because Luzhou, all we eat here is
what people in Luzhou eat, because Luzhou doesn't have
as [many] western restaurants as we'd like
So we usually eat Chinese food
so when we go to the bigger cities
We are more into fast food
other kinds of western restaurants
so we are more excited to try those rather than ...
the noodles of another place
[laugh]
When I go to Chengdu or Chongqing
I definitely want to try some restaurants that I never ...
or some food that I never had before
But then you don't do Chinese, right?
You'd rather want to go to a steakhouse
a western steakhouse for steak
Yeah, western, or Korean food, Japanese food
Thai food
Try something different
What's your favorite Thai dish?
Um ... I remember this barbecue
They have, like, different sauces you can dip
I remember, like, I went to ...
I don't remember the name of the place
It's in Bangkok
But it's, like, some water market
where they make food on the boat, so you can order ...
like, the shrimp, it's like BIG shrimp
not like shrimp here
And the sauce is amazing
It's just a ... yeah, unforgettable
What's the weirdest food you had?
I'm a really picky eater
so even stuff like chicken feet and brains is like ...
I have eaten chicken feet, but I have sent brains back
For me, the opposite. I had brains, but no chicken feet
I second that.
Well, I was given the Chinese feet by force by someone
By force! [laugh]
He was like [gesture], I was like [gesture]
The old Chinese chicken feet torture
So I was like, "OK, let me just take it," so I took a bite of it
and then, after a while, when they looked away ...
It's normal
For me, it's not even the eating part
like, even just touching me with the chicken feet
I will freak out
Well, that was my issue with it was, like,
the coating was really delicious
But it was, like, I put it on my face and it was like ...
[laugh]
a foot on my face
It's a snack, right?
I don't know the purpose of eating chicken feet
'cause it ain't gonna satisfy you
[laugh]
What's the point?!
You just enjoy the ... [flavor]
Yeah, it's maybe salty, sweet/salty, 'cause it's usually ...
Why is it so hard for westerners
to eat something like that?
Like, Blake used to ask me, "How do I eat this?"
[laugh]
You just eat it! We don't ask
It's, like, something natural, like, you know ...
I think it's, like, from kids, here, it's normal
And, there we just don't have it
'Cause it's, like, I'll see kids just like [eating noises]
Like, "That's so adventurous!"
[laugh]
No, it's not! It's just normal
Because here chicken breast is like the most ...
The most unwanted part of the chicken
they always throw this away
And for me, it's the best one
And their best part, like, chicken feet, head
Like, this for me, is what I throw in the trash normally
So, I'm eating their trash
they're eating my trash, so, it's good
My first appearance of ...
let's say my first funny encounter with
food I had in China
I was coming from Namibia for the first time ...
they gave me the ticket, and on our plane
on our way here
The air hostess came to my seat
And she was like, "Chicken or duck"
I hear "chicken," but I don't hear
what she's offering me second
Because we don't eat duck in Namibia
Yeah. Or, it's not that popular
After the third time she asked me
she just gave me the chicken
And then gave the person next to me duck
and then when I looked over
on her plate, I saw duck and I'm like "I'm finished"
Because I didn't know that people eat duck
so what else is going to happen to me in this country?
[laugh]
You like duck?
Yeah. It's very good
Do you like duck?
Have you tried Beijing duck?
No
[laugh]
I have tried Beijing duck in Luzhou
And it was good
Yeah, it is. It is good
Do you think it's authentic here?
Um ... there's one restaurant that's pretty good
Maybe that's the restaurant you went to
Maybe I shouldn't compare it to chicken
Then I will be able to get the proper taste of duck
'Cause if I compare it to chicken ...
Sorry, even in Italian cuisine
duck is some steps above chicken
[laugh]
Well, the only things I know about Italy
is the pizza and cheese, and wine
Some of our friends brought a new wine
It was, like, the base tasted almost like baijiu
But this was, like, they called it, like, "green bean"
Green beans wine
And, because of this kind of bean aftertaste
it was a lot better than simple baijiu
It was really, really nice
And we got drunk
[laugh]
mijiu
I like it
It's great. Yeah
I don't see the point, unless you put in baijiu
[laugh]
Then, at least you get drunk
You can get drunk on mijiu
Without adding baijiu?
Yeah, you just need to drink a lot
I don't have to drink a lot to get drunk
[laugh]
I'm a super lightweight
18 bottles of beer, a bottle of vodka
and a small bottle of ... what's that, Chivas Regal
Oh.
And then it ... didn't end well
[laugh]
But at the peak of my drinking career
I could ganbei a one-liter ... a one liter pitcher of beer
How did that end?
Not well
[laugh]
Oh, I got drunk once
Like, I totally passed out
[laugh]
Yeah
When I woke up, I was in the bed
And I was like, "Where am I?"
Yeah, and I turned on the light
the light on my night stand
and then "OK, this is my bed!"
So, Angela, I have a a question for you
because, this is a kind of a puzzle
that no one in China yet has been able to solve
Maybe it was still 2006, 2007
Outside of Luzhou, I don't remember exactly which place
Maybe Zigong, maybe Yibin
I had a kind of hot pot-style lunch
And they told me, this hot pot is their city-style dish
Mainly meat, not spicy at all
And the sauce was actually a bit creamy
White. It looked like a cheese fondue
But it's not cheese. I want to have this again
And it's been ten years
and it looks like no one has ever heard of this dish
[laugh]
I don't know this dish
They told me, "This is our city famous, traditional dish"
And it was not more than an hour outside of Luzhou, so
And that is the subject of our new documentary
[laugh]
Finding that soup
And I swear this was before the baijiu, before beer
[laugh]
Before anything, so it's not a fake memory
[laugh]
Never refuse a Chinese goat
[laugh]
