what is this we're gonna find out
welcome to the Sewing Report t I'm Jennifer Moore helping you discover your
love of sewing crafts and DIY projects I've just received a delivery it's
something very special so we are gonna get this box open I'll see you in a
minute so here we are and I know you're probably like geez Jen what did you
order now well I have another kind of sewing machine we're gonna be unboxing
it I'm gonna be explaining why I decided to purchase this and maybe we'll give it
a test run okay so this is an embroidery machine something I've been wanting for
quite a while but hadn't been able to really convince myself into doing it but
something happened and I was convinced that this was the time so my husband
needed to get some shirts with embroidered logos on them for work and I
was looking online to see what my options were and I saw a few websites
that you could buy embroidered shirts but it was several hundred dollars for
like six shirts like 300 bucks for six shirts and he goes through shirts pretty
regularly so I knew we were gonna be ordering them again and again and again
so we talked about it and we decided to get an embroidery machine so that I
could do them we could use any shirt that he wanted shirts that he already
has so enter the Brother PE 800 I'd seen the Brother PE 770 for years now and I
was like that one looks interesting and then I saw they had upgraded the models
so I decided to spring the extra like hundred bucks and get the upgraded model
alright let's get this puppy open oh alright got a very thick construction
looking book here comes our the cover clearly I'm gonna need this to avoid
another cat incident 5x7 embroidery area which i think is awesome it comes with
some embroidery bobbin thread and I also ordered a
starter kit comes with stabilizer some thread some other stuff like needles and
that is allegedly coming in the mail today as well I will link that also
below got from Amazon which is where I do like 90% of my shopping okay alright
let's well lots of stared from here oh wow ok so this is the embroidery unit
ok nice inspection machine
this kind of looks like your standard sewing machine it's got like the bobbin
winder and everything that's cool and they did previously on the Brother SC
400 so hopefully this is kind of similar all right I'm gonna check in a little
bit later once I've read the instructions so that you're not just
watching me here reading because that would be really boring so I will see you
guys in a little bit
to deal with my tension trouble I took the bobbin case out and there's a little
screw on the front tiny and there's a little screwdriver
I turned my screw about 90 degrees counterclockwise test out different
settings but that seemed to work for me and then I changed my upper thread
tension from a 4.0 to a 2.0
since that first one got a little messed up we're gonna try another one let's do
an embroidered J for Jen

BIGGEST ANIMALS OF ALL TIME - Duration: 5:49.
Friends since this world has been created since then we humans feel that the most beautiful
creation of this whole nature is that of us, that is, man.
You will often find it to be read and heard that the man is the best in all life
Friends, it is a matter of accepting that we mean that man is the most intelligent of
all creatures, but this claim is absolutely wrong that we are also the best.
This process has compiled from time to time such great and enormous creatures that we,
our intellectuals If you can masquerade like a mosquito, then friends in today's video,
I am telling you
about some of the huge creatures present in the past which go about Nakar will thank you
for the above because these creatures have disappeared today if the Vishakalas come in
the present time suddenly, then
the mistake of understanding our own will definitely be overcome.

Dime Time - Silver Hiding In The Box! - Duration: 4:13.
well I forgot to charge my Apple watch and the battery died so I'll have to use the
old tried-and-true method of figuring out what time it is
oh yeah it's dime time
hey everybody its Rob with Rob finds treasure and I've got a box dimes to hunt today
it is circulated I've already checked it I'm hoping since the last couple of dive
boxes lately I've actually produced some Silver's that I don't need to hunt too
because it really is tough in my eyes so hopefully we can go through a box of
Dimes here hoping we can get a silver or two or some cool four-door proof you
name it we'll be checking for errors and varieties too and thanks to a awesome
generous subscriber I'll have a 1996 West Point didn't really expect to find
that boxes but I had to look still looking for an 82 no mint mark and some
DVRs and DDoS and some off-center punches as you know enough of that let's
start cracking into dimes see what we get rule number 37 and once again late
in the box I was ready to get up on this box I've got a bunch of discards down
here yes several brand-new 2018 d rolls I say that because I've opened about
four rolls that had 2018 D Enders on both sides and they were all 18 DS so
these ones I can't see all the ends but I'm 99% sure that they are likely gonna
be new ones a spot checked a couple opened it and then taped it back up so
we're really low on the rolls and there's probably a few more brand-new
rolls in here that I won't get to could I bring you in because we're all 37 I
just cracked it open and I think we have a silver dime I mean I don't think it's
got to be look at that this is why we hood it's got a mint mark a demon mark
and it's a 62 d to go along with three rainbow toad ones that I pulled out as I
was hunting so that's a good sign good to get some silver out of the box
we'll get back to hunting and hope we have quite a few more rules to go
through and that they're not all brand new answer
the rules rule 43 one of the ends wasn't new and it's pretty much brand new role
I just wanted to show that to you well tape it back up and get on with Don well
finished that diamond hunt 15 rolls I either checked inside and tape them back
up or didn't even open because there are obvious and yeah there's just a lot of
brand-new dimes we did pull out some rainbow tone ones we even pulled out an
army green one I didn't pull out the 2 2009 DS that I found because they were
pretty toasty and I didn't find any errors of varieties there wasn't a lot
to look at because even the rolls that I did open 1/3 to 1/2 of them we're new so
kind of a mix box but you know what in this box where we only searched probably
the third to a half of the number of Dimes really we did pull a silver out so
my streak of finding silver and dine boxes continues and I'll take it
1962 D on top of some odd tone ones not a bad hunt it'll be a fast hunt but not
a bad hunt hopefully you enjoyed the hunt we did find silver we did find some
cool coins if you did I appreciate a thumbs up and as always everyone happy
hunting and thanks for watching go and add this silver rosey to the silver
rosey roll

Garry Trudeau talk Doonesbury in the time of Trump #Sad - Duration: 4:50.
SOLEDAD: NEARLY HALF A CENTURY GARRY TRUDEAU SATIRIZED POLITICS AND PRESIDENTS
IN HIS NATIONAL COMIC STRIP, DOONESBURY.
WHEN DOONESBURY DEBUTED IN THE SUNDAY PAPERS
IT WAS 1970 AND RICHARD NIXON OFFICE PRESIDENT, GAS WAS 40 CENTS A GALLON AND VOTING AGE WAS 21.
NEVER AFRAID IT USE HUMOR TO SHINE AN UNTPHREUFRPBL I -- UNFLINCHING LIGHT
HE WON THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR THE STRIP ABOUT PRESIDENT NIXON AND WATERGATE.
FAST FORWARD 50 YEARS IT IS GOING STRONG AND FINDING PLENTY OF MATERIAL UNDER PRESIDENT TRUMP.
HE HAS A NEW PWBACK CALLED "HASH TAG SAD, DOONESBURY IN THE TIME OF TRUMP".
NICE TO HAVE YOU.
GARRY: DELIGHTFUL TO BE HERE.
SOLEDAD: IS IT HARD IN THE AGE OF SOCIAL MEDIA TO HAVE AT TIRE COME ACROSS, TO SOME DEGREE IT REQUIRES DEEP UNDERSTANDING SO YOU GET THE JOKE, RIGHT?
GARRY: NOT ESPECIALLY.
I THINK YOU HAVE TO GET IT OUT FAST.
YOU HAVE TO BE KIND OF A RAPID RESPONSE SATIRIST THE WAY THE EVENING COMEDY SHOWS ARE OR IT WILL GET LOST.
WHAT I RETREATED TO IS MY DEFAULT MODE ANY WAY WHICH IS USING CHARACTERS AND USING TRUMP MOSTLY AS SUBTEXT.
YOU GO THROUGH THE BOOK ONLY 10 STRIPS OR SO FEATURE TRUMP.
MOST OF THEM ARE ABOUT THE CHARACTERS AND HOW THEY LIVE IN THIS TIME.
THE SUBTITLE IS DOONESBURY AND THE TIME OF TRUMP.
HOW DO WE BEHAVE AND INTERACT AND COPE WITH THE ONGOING CHAOS.
SOLEDAD: HOW DO WE KEEP AS A PEOPLE?
GARRY: NOT VERY WELL.
I THINK WE ARE ALL ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN.
I THINK THAT EVEN HIS FANS WOULDN'T MIND MAYBE A VACATION FROM THAT.
I JUST CAME BACK FROM A TRIP THROUGH OUR NATIONAL PARKS TWO WEEK ROAD TRIP WITH COLLEGE BUDDY T BUDDY FRIEND AND INTERACTED WITH FELLOW VISITORS.
WAS THAT EVERYONE SPOKE IN A WHISPER AND THESE REVERENTIAL HUSHED TONES SO I'M REFRESHED.
NOW I COME BACK TO THE RAGING DUMPSTER FIRE AGAIN AND I THINK THAT IS PROBABLY THE PUBLIC SERVICE THAT COMEDY PROVIDES IS GIVES YOU A WAY TO COPE.
SOLEDAD: TRUMP APPEARED IN THE COMIC STRIPS YOU WROTE ABOUT OVER THE YEARS.
IT NOT JUST THAT HE POPPED UP IN HASH TAG SAD.
HOW HAS HE CHANGED IN HOW YOU THINK ABOUT HIM, DRAW HIM AND EVEN WHAT HIS CHARACTER IS SAYING.
GARRY: DRAWING HIM IS, I HAVE ALWAYS DESCRIBED IT AS A JOIN, NOT A DESTINATION BECAUSE -- A JOURNEY, NOT A DESTINATION.
I TRIED TO REVERSE ENGINEER THE HAIR AND BEEN DOING THAT SINCE IT WAS BROWN WHICH WAS WHEN I FIRST STARTED DRAWING HIM IN THE LATE 1980'S.
PEOPLE IN MY INDUSTRY JUST FOUND HIM A NATURAL DRAW FOR CARTOONISTS WHICH IS PARADOX IS THAT WHICH REPELS YOU YOU KNOW IS WHAT DRAWS YOU IN TO WANTING TO DO SOMETHING.
BECAUSE HE STEPPED INTO THE STRIP AND UP LIKE ANY OR PUBLIC FIGURE I TOOK HIM FROM REAL LIFE AND PUT HIM IN.
SOLEDAD: WHAT CAN COMIC STRIPS DO THAT OTHER GENRES CAN'T DO?
WHAT IS THE SPECIAL THING THIS HAS THAT YOU CAN'T GET IN A TWEET OR A VIDEO OR ARTICLE OR BLOG OR THE OTHER PLATFORMS?
GARRY: THERE'S GREAT VARIETY IN COMIC STRIPS.
I HAVE DEVELOPED A SOMEWHAT MORE AMBITIOUS INTEREST WHICH IS TO TELL STORIES.
THERE ARE FEEL STORY STRIPS BUT IN MY CASE I THINK THAT THE ADVANTAGE I HAVE IN THE ARENA OF TO TOPICAL COMEDY IS I HAVE CHARACTERS AND WHEN I GET IT
RIGHT IT CAN DEEPEN PEOPLE'S UNDERSTANDING OF AN ISSUE OR CAN HELP THINK ABOUT IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.
IT CAN MOVE THEM TO THOUGHT AND JUDGMENT.
THAT PROBABLY SOUNDS A LITTLE GRANDIOSE -- SOLEDAD: IT SOUNDS LIKE STORYTELLING IS EVERYTHING.
GARRY: WE ARE WIRED FOR STORY.
THAT IS HOW WE UNDERSTAND THE WORLD, YOU ARE BETTER ABLE TO UNDERSTAND AN IDEA OR CONFLICT OR PERSONALITY IF THERE IS A STORY WITH IT.
WE ARE HARD WIRED FOR IT.
SOLEDAD: IT IS "HASH TAG SAD, DOONESBURY IN THE TIME OF TR TRUMP".

When Is the Best Time to Take Vitamins and Supplements? | "Doc Talks" with Dr. Daniel Nuzum - Duration: 2:59.
Jonathan Hunsaker: Curious about when the best time is to take your supplements?
Stay tuned for the answer.
Jonathan Hunsaker here with Organixx.
And thanks again for watching.
Do you ever wonder when the best time of day is to take your supplements?
Should you take them all at once?
With a meal?
On an empty stomach?
Let's go to Doc to get the answer.
Dr. Daniel Nuzum: Let's say you're taking supplements for digestive support.
If you're trying to support digestion, you want to start earlier in the day.
We want to get digestion working really well in the morning so that things are completely
digested by the time you go to bed at night.
If you're taking supplements that are to support energy or your hormone balance,
and things like that, you don't want to take them right before you go to bed at night.
They can keep you awake, right?
Let's say you were trying to reduce inflammation
or trying to help the body metabolize things properly,
so it doesn't have such a powerful inflammatory response.
Again, that's something you want to start earlier in the day and work through the day.
Most of these supplements are best taken right before you eat.
Before a meal is when they're best.
Because of their prebiotic component, they help prepare the digestive tract
for the food you're going to eat.
"Is it okay for me to just take all my supplements at once?"
Well, the answer to that is it shouldn't harm you, but your body absorbs things
in small amounts more frequently.
If you want to get more of something into your system,
you want to expose your body to that, small amounts of it throughout the day.
So, it's best to split things up instead of taking everything all at one time.
"If I'm taking two Turmeric 3D a day, do I take two in the morning, or two at night,
or do I take one twice a day?"
The best, I would do divided doses.
Morning and evening would be how I would take the supplements.
Even if I was taking everything in the Organixx line, I would divide it up into two doses
or three doses throughout the day.
Okay, so in the Organixx line, I would take like Turmeric 3D, 7M+, and E-Plexx would be
supplements I would take earlier in the day.
Most of the other supplements, you could take evening, morning, mid-day.
Jonathan Hunsaker: Once again, thanks, Doc.
I love the way that you share, and I love how much you share.

How to calculate the Equal Time Point - ATPL - Duration: 2:31.
Equal time point.
As the name suggests, this is a point on our route from which we could either continue
to our destination or return back to our departure airport and it would take us the same amount
of time to do so.
Imagine we have a route segment of 200 NM, and a plane traveling with a true airspeed
of 100 knots.
We know that the time is equal to distance divided by speed, so this means it would take
us 2 hours to reach the destination, and only one hour to go halfway through the trip.
Well, this is our equal time point in a situation with no wind.
However, if we introduce wind, things change a little bit.
For simplicity, let's say the wind is a pure tailwind, 270° / 30 knots.
Observe that the equal time point, in this case, would shift to the west.
This is because we have tailwind traveling east, and a headwind traveling back west.
So, where exactly is the equal time point in this case?
Let's start by defining what we already know.
We have a true airspeed of 100 knots, with a tailwind on the way down and a headwind
on the way back.
We can define these two speeds as Vc - speed to continue, and Vr - speed to return.
Since its pure tailwind and headwind, the speeds would be 130 and 70 knots respectively.
We also know the total distance D. Lets call the distance to the ETP - x, and the rest
of the distance simply as distance minus x.
As we want the times to be the same for either continuing from ETP or returning from it,
we can write a simple equation where the time to continue is equal to the time of return.
Time is equal to distance divided by the speed.
So, to return, we need to cross distance X with the speed of V return or to continue
we need to cross distance (D-x) with the speed of V continue.
We can cross multiply and get this.
On the right side, we multiply both D and X with V return.
Now we can transfer everything that contains x to the left side, and everything else to
the right.
Isolating x on the left gives us this.
We can now divide everything by (V continue + V return) and get the value of x, which
is our ETP distance from the departure airport.
In this case, it would be equal to 70 NM.
So, after crossing 70NM it would be quicker to continue for the next 130 with the tailwind
instead of returning the same 70NM in the headwind.
Time to ETP is simply the distance to ETP divided by the outbound speed - 0.53 hours
or approximately 32 minutes.
Once again, thank you for watching and be aware of your position in the air!

The Walking Dead Is Wasting Your Time - Duration: 12:53.
There was a time when I was a pretty big fan of The Walking Dead. It definitely
had problems, but I always found it interesting, and at the height of my
fandom, I saw it as an outright important piece of fiction for the modern world.
That may sound a bit dramatic for a zombie show, but like a lot of people, I
always thought the series was intelligently commenting on different
philosophies of life and simply using zombies as icing on the cake.
However, as the years went by and I reflected on the show's themes and
overall message, I found myself frustrated with just how
tired and meaningless it had become. I'm not the only one who thinks so either as
the show is suffering from low ratings, cast members jumping ship, and people
generally just watching out of obligation or boredom. The show has
definitely devolved into a shadow of its former self and I couldn't help but try
to find the reason. So, this video is going to be an examination, an autopsy if
you will, to determine just why The Walking Dead is wasting your time. Part
One: "It just raises too many questions." Parallel to how we all live in the real
world, the survivors in The Walking Dead face a landscape of horror and
uncertainty. Like us, they don't know if they live to see tomorrow.
Like us, they'll have to make choices they may regret and along the way they'll
lose people close to them or maybe even their own humanity. If you ask me, all
Robert Kirkman is doing here is adding zombies to real-world problems like
death, corruption, and loss; aspects of life humanity have always pondered. On
the surface, there's nothing wrong with that. "Art imitates life" as they say. The
problem lies in the fact that in order for a story like this to really say
something about any of those topics, it has to answer the questions it raises.
Otherwise, it's just remaining ambiguous; putting forth dilemmas and not taking
the chance on answering them definitively. Throughout the series, our
characters are constantly put in situations where they have to make
difficult moral decisions. Generally, characters either stick to their
principles or do anything they have to to survive. Looking further into these
choices the heart of The Walking Dead can be boiled down to one central moral
dilemma, which is something like this: "Is it better to act righteously and keep
your humanity knowing you or the people around you will likely suffer as a
result?" OR "Is it better to act only in the interest of survival, losing your
humanity, but remaining 'alive'?" To Robert Kirkman's credit, this is an
interesting philosophical dilemma. However, depending on the situations
presented in the show, both approaches are considered valid. This ambiguity is
where the Walking Dead gets confusing with it's overall message. Everything seems
to be in a cloud of moral relativism. According to the logic of the show, even
the most barbaric acts are justified in the right context. This isn't to say that
characters can't change, but later when they change their entire outlook back
and forth multiple times it's hard to find a solid through line. It's this lack
of clarity that makes me think the show is doing nothing but raising questions
without answering them. This is fine if your only goal is to make an
intentionally ambiguous story where the audience makes up their own minds. "You be
the judge." But, being that the show keeps going it indicates that there is some
greater message to be discovered. However, after watching season after season of
the same moral conundrum play out, I think it's safe to say that this is all
The Walking Dead has to offer. Which brings me to my next point...
Part Two: Beating A Dead Horse Throughout the entire series, the same moral dilemma I mentioned earlier
has just been recycled in different situations ad nauseam. It got so bad that
a character's arc could be determined ahead of time. If a character was being
too pragmatic and cold-hearted, you could predict that in their next arc, they'd all of a
sudden want to be moral and just. This would last until the next horrible event
happened and then they'd go through the whole thing again. To give you a better
idea of what I'm talking about, let's go through some examples. We don't kill the
living.
We all can change. There's still people we should bring 'em in. There's only one
person who has to die today and I will kill him myself
I will. We're not gonna kill you, We're not gonna hurt you. You're good man
Rick. I hope you find your wife and son.
I don't know anyone anymore! You don't clear! ...but all life is precious.
I do miss my Maytag.
Characters constantly alternate between two different philosophies and it feels
like artificial conflict to pad out the story. It's things like this that are
making people less and less interested. If characters acted consistently, it
would be more tolerable if for when they made a moral choice because we would
know that that's how THEY'RE specifically prone to react. It's
confusing when Rick offers peace to the Governor, brutally murders Gareth for
trying to eat him, and yet doesn't kill Negan; the guy who smashed two of his
friends heads in and killed other members of his group. If you want a
characters arc and more importantly the themes of your story to progress you
need to end somewhere different than where you started. Our survivors can
either end up maintaining their values and suffering the consequences or
forever be slaves to animalistic survival. The problem is that we've seen
the peak of each of these philosophies in most of the characters so it's played
out. Unless a character has some new lesson to learn that's not the same
exact lesson as last time, they should be phased out or killed off. All the show
can hope to do is have old characters relearn old lessons or introduce new
characters that will go through the same thing in a slightly different way. But, I
think it's obvious why people are naturally getting tired of that. As a
result of this repetition, I think the biggest reason the show isn't connecting
with people as much anymore is because when your protagonists flip-flop between
moral extremes, the viewers traditional sense of how a story is told is broken.
Which brings me to my next point. Part Three: Tell Me Something Good As humans, we like stories that
confirm our natural biases about the world. One of our most fundamental biases
is the concept of deserving something. The general idea is that if someone acts
in the proper way, they deserve good fortune, and if they act in the improper
way, they deserve punishment. To put this in the context of storytelling, we
generally want our protagonist to win because they aren't being an asshole and
we think they deserve to succeed. In the case of The Walking Dead, we ultimately
want the same thing. We follow Rick in the gang and we like them...ok maybe not
all of them, but we want them to overcome whatever evil they encounter and live
happily because we feel they've made the right decisions and deserve to. The
problem is that they don't always make the right decisions. After season 5, I
started to lose sympathy for Rick in particular because he wanted to
stop helping people. He was okay with leaving allies behind "...but they can't
keep up you keep going" and started stabbing people in their sleep before
any conflict had even started. This morally gray approach only dilutes the
viewer's perception of who they should be rooting for and more importantly why.
Another big problem is that it seems like no matter how our characters choose
to act in this world they always end up suffering intensely anyway. So, even if a
character is conducting themselves in a genuinely moral fashion they too will
suffer a gruesome death. The expectation of inevitable punishment makes the
audience feel like a battered housewife that keeps coming back for more.
"Hit me again Ike and this time put some stank on it!" The idea of good people winning the day
is as old as storytelling itself and if you mess with that the audience becomes
disoriented. Sure there can be compelling stories about flawed or even bad people,
but these stories generally show how destructive being that way is. In The
Walking Dead, this is essentially what is happening when we see characters go to
their lowest, animalistic points. They feel like they lost their soul and it
makes them question if living that way is even worth it. However, in the show,
being a savage sure does come in handy in a lot of situations. So, again the
overall message is very ambiguous. This sense of inevitable suffering regardless
of how characters conduct themselves makes the audience ask "What's the point?"
So, let's find out. Part Four: What is the Point? There must be some greater meaning
to all of this struggling right? The way I see it, there are only about three
messages I think Robert Kirkman could really be getting at with The Walking
Dead and they are as follows: Number one: Right and wrong are only a matter of
perspective. This message is a bleak one, but I think given the show's proclivity
for inevitable suffering and characters doing questionable things to survive, it
makes a lot of sense. We have been exposed to many characters in this world
that are at various stages of being completely reprehensible. With the
exception of a few, we are almost always shown aside to them that might still be
human. The idea is often presented that if we were following Negan or the
Governor since the beginning, we'd be rooting for them. If this were
the case, the story would conceivably end with Rick and the gang doing something
so horrible that we are left wondering why we liked them in the first place.
Ultimately resulting in the viewer questioning the concepts of pure good or
pure evil Number Two: Good and evil need to be
balanced in every person. Basically, every character in The Walking Dead swings
violently between the two moral extremes I mentioned earlier. The conflict comes
from them being too far to one side or the other. If this were the overall
message, maybe the ultimate goal of the show would be having our characters get
to the point where they find the perfect balance between doing what they have to
to survive and still feeling like good people. I can't really think of how this
would ever result in a very satisfying ending but "...there it is" Number Three: The
righteous are the ones who truly live life. For me, this message is the most
likely and would tie things up in a nice hopeful bow even if most or all of our
characters died in the end. It would basically say that being a good person
regardless of the consequences is all that matters in life. Sure maybe your
chances of staying alive would be higher if you went full-on savage, but you
wouldn't really be living anymore. You would just be this thoughtless, wandering
animal; hence the walking dead. It's a shame because the show had multiple
opportunities to end this way, most notably, in Season 4. If this were the
overall message, then in my opinion, the Season 4 mid-season finale was the
perfect point at which to end the series. Rick started out good, went bad, and
then came back in the end as 'officer friendly' and offered peace to
the Governor. Sure everything went to shit, but the smile that Hershel gave
Rick indicated that if everyone died, at least they'd die trying to do the right
thing. It could have bookended visually too if
they had ended that episode with the aerial shot of the tank from the episode
'After'. It would have been a nice complement to the ending in the first
episode of the series. Unfortunately they kept blurring this to
the point where I don't think an ending like this would even work anymore.
Part Five: Is he a secret asshole? I am acutely aware that I could just be
reading way too far into this. For all I know,
Robert Kirkman could just really like zombies and moral dilemmas and might not
even have an actual thematic through line in mind. Sometimes it's quite
difficult to tell what the true intentions of an artist are. Although, the
fact that Robert Kirkman avoids plot points like where the zombie plague came
from and whether or not will ever be solved seems to indicate that we are
going to get more of the same. This leaves us with questions like: "Is Robert
Kirkman a secret asshole?" "Has all this just been a ploy to tune in
next time with no possibility for a satisfying conclusion?" "Would ANY ending
make this long and brutal series worth it?"
"You be the judge." Conclusion: At one time The Walking Dead was a pretty good show.
Unfortunately, after eight seasons and a ninth on the way at the time of this
recording, it has definitely overstayed it's welcome. Even though the show always
had issues, as a viewer, you wanted to see where all this suffering was going to
lead. However, after years of wheel spinning with no clear end in sight, the
show loses more meaning with each new episode. There is a point in storytelling
where you have to know when to stop in order to preserve your message. For The
Walking Dead, I think that ship sailed a long time ago. So, if you're tuning into
the show because you feel like you have to or you're just looking for something
to do with your Sunday nights that's fine. But, if you're looking for a
captivating story that will have a meaningful message
I think the Walking Dead is wasting your time.

Spotlight on Parliament: Time is Ticking - Duration: 1:54.
>> CAZ: Kia ora koutou, ko Caz tōku ingoa.
Hi everyone, and welcome to Parliament.
My name's Caz.
>> HANS: And I'm Hans.
>> CAZ: So just like everywhere, time controls Parliament – but did you know that parliaments
sometimes try to control time?
>> HANS: That's right.
In 1797, the UK Parliament passed a tax on all clocks and watches.
>> CAZ: Wait, so you're telling me that there was a tax on just knowing the time?
>> HANS: Yup!
But rather than paying the tax, people just stopped buying watches, and instead they relied
on publicly displayed clocks like this one.
>> CAZ: This tavern clock is the oldest clock on the parliamentary precinct, dating back
to about 1750.
>> HANS: It was made by a Master of the Worshipful Company of Clockmakers and was highly in demand.
>> CAZ: So sometimes tries to control time... but mostly time controls Parliament.
With parliamentary debates and committee meetings scheduled to the minute, how do you make sure
that everyone's running to the same schedule?
>> HANS: Well, in 1922 Parliament installed a system of synchronised magnetic clocks to
keep everything ticking over.
This master clock kept all the others in sync until the early 1960s.
>> CAZ: But occasionally, time at Parliament does stand still.
>> HANS: Sometimes the Government wants to get through more business or move quickly,
and the House can go into extended sitting or urgency.
Here in the debating chamber, the sitting from the night before can extend into the
next day, days – or even right through the night.
>> CAZ: Outside, time marches on... but inside, the same parliamentary day continues.
The calendars in the House aren't changed as they indicate the date of the sitting day
in progress.
>> HANS: Parliament has a rich history, but we're looking towards the future.

Ep #15: When Is The Best Time To Sell? - Duration: 8:10.
when is the best time to sell it differs according to different people for me I
will ask myself two major questions first thing is will I buy it if I were
the next buyer you may have bought your property long time ago before they go and
print money before they inflate the asset bubble before the developer go and oversupply
condos in your neighborhood but ask yourself if my property is at the
current price with the rental can fetch now with all the macro factors
including BSD ABSD interest rate hike supply pipelines
am I willing to pay the current price of my property so that is the question that
you need to ask the second question is is there a better way to put my money
what I mean better it doesn't necessarily mean better return I mean
better peace of mind do you agree with me that for all the money in
the world I just want to have a good night of sleep so ask yourself is there a
better way to put my money so that I would have better peace of mind when is
the best time to sell so I'm going to give you some examples I am not talking
about you I'm talking about myself only okay I'm talking about myself again I
know that at the market it is competitive so I come from a country
called Hong Kong so in Hong Kong there are actually a lot of pretty girls
so if you walk down the streets in the CBD in Hong Kong my god there's an
oversupply of beautiful women comparable to oversupply of condos in Singapore so
last time I was from there and I was very popular not with the guys but with the
pretty girls I have a lot of pretty girlfriends know why because they never
see me as a threat to them so when I finally get a date I would go along with
one on my pretty girlfriends so my dates often end up chasing my
girlfriend instead it's just like I advertise my property for sale and I arrange
flat viewing the buyer came over and step in for a few minutes only and
suddenly he realized that my neighbor's unit the view is much better so it
end up he offers a much better offer to my neighbor instead what can I do it is
called at small and competitive market and it's called a buyers market so you
have to understand it's competitive market with oversupply the second
thing is sell when the market is still hot
why did I get married early because I know that unlike my girlfriends who can
wiait till thier forties they still have admirersI don't have the luxury I
have to strike while the iron is hot it is best to sell your property when the
market is still hot and it's much easier to market property when the age is still
young you know what I mean right because you have to spend a lot of time and
efforts later if you're the older the age of your property the more the efforts
and money you put in to renovate and upgrade your project in order to make it
not look dated and you also have less and less offers because your property's
old because the thing is there is high maintenance and depreciation in
properties you can't avoid it and en bloc may or may not happen because that
means you have to do a few rounds of upgrade and renovation before you finally
talk about en bloc and you have to convince your neighbors to sell
a few rounds before everybody will agree or 80% of people will agree to go
collective sale and you also have to pay a higher and higher margin to the
middleman so the property agency can help you to find a buyer so sell when the
market is still hot the third thing is the first offer serious offer is often the
best offer why do I got married early because I understand
I don't have a lot of choices unlike my pretty girlfriends they will have choices
but I don't have because if I miss this proposal I may not get another one so
the problem is the same with your property a lot of owners in Singapore
they think that their unit is the best in Singapore but that is not true so
they don't know and then they keep looking for better offers but as time
goes by the offers they get are less and less why because the agents and buyers see
the same listing again and again so they assume that the seller is getting more
and more desperate so that's why they offer lower and lower prices so that is
the fact so what is the point of for you to tell other people next time your stock
used to be 10 times higher or somebody used to offer 50 percent higher for
your property but you didn't get it last time I always believe that paper
loss is a real loss paper profit is not a real profit unless you are able to
cash in unless you are able to realize the capital gain unless you are able to
lock in the profit that's what we call real profit so that is why you have to
look at these three things and you know that this is the best time to sell above all
when you see in the market the developers they are offering higher and higher
discounts and the sellers they are no longer firm on the asking price when the
buyers and sellers are holding back their actions this is your last chance
to sell so why do I need to emphasize that this is time to sell because I
already talked about just now this is not a good time to buy if I also say
that this is also not a good time to sell for the 28,000 property agents in
Singapore they eat what so that's why I have to say that this is a good time to
sell you may say that hey Vina you know don't ask me to sell
my property because it's my home that case is not applicable you because if you are
staying in your own home just like I have one on my private homes
it may not be applicable for you to sell your home because you need a place to
stay anyway right you may not be able to sell your house because you need to rely
on it for your rental income for passive income for your retirement you may not
want to sell your house because it is a rare jem in the market and you no
longer have the financial capability no longer have the best terms from the bank
so that's why you can't sell you may want to pass on your property is a freehold to
your next generation whether they voluntarily or involuntarily upgrade next time
it doesn't matter but you want to pass on property so that's why you don't want to
sell but I believe that property investment is like delivering a
great speech a professional speaker always knows when is the best time to finish and
leave the stage on time so in property investment you need to know when to exit
wait for the next cycle and go in for the next round of profit again so with that
thank you very much for coming for my presentation this afternoon I wish you
all the best for your property investment

That Time a Soldier Was Awarded a Posthumous Medal While Still Alive - Duration: 8:45.
The Param Vir Chakra (roughly, the "Wheel of the Ultimate Brave") is India's highest
military decoration for gallantry during battle and is "awarded for rarest of the rare gallantry
which is beyond the call of duty and which in normal life is considered impossible to
do".
The medal is known for having one of the most stringent selection process of any military
award in the world and 14 of the 24 total recipients were killed during the action that
earned it.
One such posthumous recipient was Yogendra Singh Yadav…
The problem was that Yadav was very much alive and heard about his own heroic death while
recovering in the hospital.
Born in 1980 in the village of Aurangabad Ahir, Yadav was the son of former soldier
who'd fought in the Indo-Pakistan wars as part of the Kumaon Regiment.
Yadav, along with his brothers, would frequently spend evenings listening to their father's
war stories and tales of famous Indian military heroes.
This instilled a deep sense of patriotism and duty in Yadav from a young age, so it
was no surprise to his family when he decided to join the military at just 16 years old,
joining the Grenadier Regiment.
Yadav subsequently proved to be a formidable asset to the military, quickly rising through
the ranks and eventually coming to serve with an elite commando unit of the 18 Grenadiers
called the Ghatak's- basically, elite shock troops tasked with being the first boots on
the ground in any conflict.
On May 3, 1999, Kashmiri and Pakistani militants managed to storm and take control of several
strategic forts and bunkers along the border that had been left abandoned since the end
of the war.
This action prompted the start of what became known as the Kargil Conflict- a series of
bloody confrontations between the two countries that lasted just over 3 months.
One of the most strategically valuable points captured was a group of fortified hardpoints
atop a 17,411 foot (5,307 m) tall mountain known colloquially as "Tiger Hill", or
officially as Point 4660.
As the tallest peak in the Kargil region, Tiger Hill allowed the enemy soldiers to look
down on the 56 Brigade's headquarters, as well as watch the Srinagar-Leh highway for
troop and supply movements.
Unsurprisingly, the top Indian military brass demanded its immediate recapture at any cost-
enter Yadav's commando platoon, the 18 Grenadiers.
The mission of the 18 Grenadiers (which has been called one of the most brazen ever attempted
in open combat) was to scale an icy, 1000 foot near vertical section of the mountain
and assault the 3 fortified bunkers atop it, while artillery bombardments distracted the
combined Pakistani Kashmiri forces stationed in them.
Yadav (who was just 19 years old at this point) wasted no time volunteering to climb the snow-covered
peak unassisted and lead the assault.
Yadav's mission was to affix ropes to specific areas so that the rest of the near couple
dozen 18 Grenadiers squad could follow him more quickly.
Trained in both mountaineering and alpine warfare, Yadav was an exceptional climber
and was reportedly able to scale half that section of the mountain in mere minutes- a
feat that becomes all the more impressive when you realise this assault began at night
(roughly 11pm local time) and the elevation in that area is approximately 17,000 feet
(5,100 meters), meaning light and oxygen levels wouldn't exactly have been ideal for such
fast climbing.
Unfortunately for Yadav, as he was closing on the top of the mountain, with his platoon
now following closely behind, he was spotted and the enemy opened fire with machine-guns
and rocket launchers.
The initial volley killed Yadav's commanding officer along with a few others of his squad,
all of whom were either killed outright or who fell to their deaths.
Clinging both metaphorically and quite literally to life, Yadav sustained three significant
injuries while pushing himself to climb the rest of the way, taking two bullets to the
shoulder and one to his groin in the process.
Despite the injuries and being under heavy fire with little cover, he managed to make
it to the first bunker, hurling a grenade into it and killing everyone inside, silencing
the enemy fire from that position, allowing his squad to continue their ascent.
Unfortunately for Yadav, the attention of the second enemy position was now directly
on him and they opened fire on the young man, who was soon joined by two of his companions.
Yadav then led this trio of death in charging into the storm of bullets and rockets being
aimed at them, with Yadav ultimately managing to reach the enemy bunker.
In the ensuing hand-to-hand melee in which he used his climbing ice axe as his primary
weapon, he killed the four Pakistani soldiers manning the position.
At this point, the surviving members of the 18 Grenadiers reached Yadav and were greeted
to the sight of an extremely bloodied and injured young man surrounded by dead enemy
soldiers.
Remarkably, during his two headlong charges, Yadav had sustained a further 12 bullet wounds
two "hand grenade wounds" and had his arm broken and nearly ripped from its socket
by an explosion, leaving it hanging limply at his side.
Yadav shrugged off these injuries (presumably metaphorically as literally shrugging would
have been a tough act given the two bullet wounds to his shoulder) and used his belt
to make a sling for his arm.
Next, he pulled out his pistol and charged the third and final position.
Rallied by Yadav's bravery once again in the face of heavy, near point-blank fire,
the rest of his squad followed and captured the final point.
News of Yadav's valor and total disregard for his own safety in the face of overwhelming
opposition soon reached the military brass and he was immediately recommended for the
prestigious Param Vir Chakra at the tender age of just 19 years old.
Now, the Param Vir Chakra has one of the most robust selection process of any medal for
heroism in the world, which is a particular point of pride for the Indian military.
The medal isn't just awarded for "everyday" gallantry- it is awarded for the "Most conspicuous
bravery or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice, in the presence
of the enemy, whether on land, at sea, or in the air".
As such, those eligible for the award are scrutinised at length by no less than six
different facets of the Indian military hierarchy.
To quote:
Recommendation for any gallantry award for a soldier is initiated by the commanding officer
of a battalion to the brigade headquarters.
From the brigade headquarters it is passed on after scrutiny to the divisional headquarters
and from there to the corps headquarters.
From the corps, after detailed discussion and correlation of the claims, it is the send
to the command headquarters, where from it is forwarded to the army headquarters in New
Delhi.
At the army headquarters it is finally scrutinised by the Honours and Awards committee headed
by the army chief, which has principal staff officers such as military secretary and adjutant
general as its members.
The decision of this committee is forwarded to the ministry of defence for its final approval.
Needless to say, it was a curious, and embarrassing thing, that they subsequently awarded Yadav
the Param Vir Chakra posthumously, despite the fact that he was lying in a hospital bed
at the time.
Yes, not only had he sustained a body's full of serious injuries, but he made it back
down the mountain and to the base hospital.
In fact, after the award announcement went out, it was Yadav's young wife who subsequently
notified the military brass at the base hospital that her husband was indeed alive and reasonably
well all things considered.
It is often claimed that the number of serious injuries Yadav sustained combined with his
unbelievable actions were such that it was simply assumed he'd died before making it
back to medical aid.
However, the selection process for that award is far too rigorous to let such a thing slip
normally.
What actually happened is that in Yadav's squad there was another soldier with the exact
same name- Yogendra Singh Yadav – who did die during the battle.
As a result, when the living Yadav was recommended for the Param Vir Chakra, officials attributed
the remarkable actions of Yadav to that guy instead- whether because they simply assumed
the Yadav who died must be the one who sustained all those injures and performed the unbelievable
acts, or simply because nobody noticed there were two Yogendra Singh Yadav's on the squad,
isn't clear.
To further confuse things, it's also noteworthy that the other Yadav was among the first to
scale the cliff after the surviving Yadav, and that both men engaged the enemy in ferocious
hand-to-hand combat.
During an interview from his hospital bed, Yadav was asked to comment on rumors he was
planning on taking an exam to become an officer.
Yadav responded that he would like to, but had to pass his high-school exams first…
Once again, he was just 19 years old.
