How to Make Strong Kava Tea - Duration: 2:53.
What's going on guys this is Kyle Shigekuni from DrinkRoot
Today I'm going to show you how to make some very strong kava
Now I'm all about getting the best bang for the buck in terms of kava
and this is the routine that I use that works best for me
I'd love to hear what works best for you guys the different types of techniques that you guys have as well
So definitely respond in the comments below and let's create an ongoing discussion on how to perfect our grog
Okay so here's a couple of things that you'll be needing
You'll need some kava, a strainer, a large bowl, coconut milk
and also a temperature-controlled way to boil water
so for strainers that's a personal preference you can use; a cheesecloth, traditional muslin bag, jelly strainer, I heard of people using pantyhoses
I personally use a 75 micron nut bag. I think that this is the best size and I like it because the consistency.
The coconut milk although it's here for taste it's also very important for aiding the extraction process
The actives kava contains are called kavalactones
and these are responsible for the euphoric and relaxing effects of the drink
When you combine kava root with water it releases many of these compounds. But not all kavalactones are water-soluble, some are fat-soluble.
So when you combine the two (water & coconut milk) the fat acts as an extra emulsifier and will bring out more of the active material in the drink.
This is about two ounces of pre-weighed kava which is about six tablespoons
and that comes out to three to four good drinks.
I recommend about a 1-to-4 ratio of coconut milk to water. But it doesn't have to be perfect.
Now I'm gonna pour in some water this is at 140 degrees Fahrenheit
The reason why is because anything over 140 degrees Fahrenheit will begin to break down the kavalactones
And I'll let this sit for anywhere between 45 minutes to an hour so that it can extract
All right so now the kava has been sitting for about an hour
You can see most of it has seeped into the into the water coconut mixture
Now let's work on mashing this out
It's kind of like squeezing out a sponge or like wringing out a shirt.
The coconut milk is definitely going to ease a little bit of the bite
but I always recommend to keep a bite of fruit on hand. Bula
Hey thanks for watching guys. Remember a great grog starts off with great kava
So make sure your vendor is selling quality noble kava
This brew process is what works for me, but you may have improvements
So if you have any suggestions let's talk about it in the comments below and let's all work together on improving our grogs.
Also make sure to head on over to drinkroot.com for details on deals and new releases of premium Vanuatan Kava
Bula!

How I Identify Mushrooms: Big Laughing Gym? - Duration: 18:53.
Collecting for the pot is fun.
But finding new species is exciting.
Having spent much time exploring neighborhood woods, I have a pretty good idea as for when
and where I could expect what.
But the downside is, we don't get to see a lot of new species.
So the debate has always been, should we revisit our local spots for the hundredth time to
meet some good old fella or, shall we get into some further, unfamiliar woods,
risking not seeing much.
the choice becomes easier when there's no trade off.
When Maryland is dry and the local woods are not very productive, we would give Virginia
or DC a try.
There, we pick somewhere right next to the Potomac River, because the close vicinity
to the big river would lend mushrooms enough moisture to grow.
The other side of the river is usually indeed very rewarding.
Last time we found three species there that we hadn't seen before.
They are not necessarily rare, but I just don't get to see them around in Maryland.
So sometimes, go to somewhere you haven't been to, and you may be surprised.
Okay, in the rest of the video I am going to show you the several steps I went through
to identify these mushrooms.
This little thing is now on our weird mushroom list.
Its shape stroke me as some sort of stinkhorn mushrooms but I don't see the typical dark
spore masses that a stinkhorn should have.
Instead, I notice this little case or ballon thing on top of the stem.
This structure reminds me of a puffball mushroom, the spores of which are enclosed in such case
and, when a puffball gets mature, the case opens up thus the powdery spores can be carried
away by wind.
After the preliminary identification, I leave the rest to google.
Basically I just try some combinations of key words that describe the features of the
this fungi.
I then click on images, do a quick browse to if see anything looks familiar.
And,
this guy looks Close enough.
So let's do some more research based on its Latin name, Calostoma cinnabarinum.
Click in wiki, but,ur, the image here doesn't really resemble our sample, which seems to
be much lighter and yellower.
So go back to google, click on images to see more pictures of Calostoma cinnabarinum, try
to find images that look more like the sample.
When found something closer, click in to see if any new name pops up.
Here we go, Calostoma lutescens.
This is it.
It turn out that this fungi does have a common name, pretty mouth puffball.
How accurate.
By the way, one good thing about such nontypical mushroom is that, you may not see them a lot,
but it is relatively easy to capture their features with a few words.
Hence several tries on google may give the right answer.
And this second fungi, I was actually very excited to see them, thinking they were something
I long expected to find.
Sulphur tuft was what I thought, which was a poisonous mushroom.
Growing from dead wood, in nice clusters, and with grayish attached gills, all seemed
to fit, until I saw another, younger cluster.
Then I realized something quite important that I just missed.
See the beautiful brick red color of the cap?
It's more discernible on younger specimens.
They're brick cap mushrooms.
The brick cap and the Sulphur Tuft are two species of the same Hypholoma genus.
Thus, they share the same structure and habitat.
But the giveaway is their colors.
The brick cap has a brick red cap, and the Sulphur Tuft has a sulphur-colored, or yellowish
cap.
Also, the brick cap has grayish gills whereas the Sulphur Tuft's gills can take on a greenish
hue.
Both species yield purple brown spore prints because they share the same genus.
Provided I've never heard of the brick cap nor sulphur tuft, I will combine its key features,
reddish cap, purple brown spore sprint, grow in clusters from woods and then run a google
search.
And I won't be surprised if I find the answer within the first couple of tries.
This third guy is absolutely a big surprise.
From afar, I thought that was yet another cluster of brick caps, somewhat discolored
though.
However, my wife, who is more sensible to colors, insisted that she saw some yellowish
hue so her guesses were the jack-o'-lantern or the pholitoa mushroom.
When we got closer and got a better look at the caps and the structure, we became increasingly
uncertain.
They indeed look alike pholitoas, but the cap is smooth and without scales.
So we eliminate that possibility right away.
They resemble jack-o-lantern a lot too, except for two things: first, the cap color is too
yellowish, but jack-o-lantern is on the orangish side.
And second, the mushroom grows too neat and too small.
Mature jack-o-lanterns tend to go wild: they can be very large and tend to have wavy margins.
Nevertheless, these two differences ain't enough, because both could well be affected
by natural forces.
But soon enough, we found the third and the most significant clue when we check the under
cap.
If you're not familiar with the jack-o-lantern, this is how it
looks like.
And this, is our sample.
See the difference here?
Correct, the jack o' lantern has decurrent gills running down the stems.
Whereas for this unknown guy, the gills are somewhere between attached and free.
The top part is kinda attached to the stem and the bottom part is free from the stem.
Natural forces can't change the pattern of gills, so they can't be the jack-o-lantern.
Also, see this?
This is a ring zone, which indicates the existence of a frail partial veil.
Some partial veil can be quite sturdy and leave a full ring on the mushroom's stem.
and some partial veil are quite delicate and easy to fall off, leaving only remnants on
the stem which then captures the spores and forms a band on the stem.
Remember, the jack-o'-lantern will never have a ring or ring zone.
Its stem is bare.
Besides, here, you see the mushroom has already kinda made a spore print on the cap of another
mushroom.
It takes on an orangish-brown color, whereas jack o lantern's spore print is pale yellow.
So, yellow convex cap, attached gills, ring zone, growing from dead wood, with these key
words I search on google, but the results include everything ranging from brick caps
to honeys to jack o lanterns and to pholiotas.
Nothing really looks like our sample.
Indeed, there are just Too many mushrooms that fit the description.
So the original key words have to be refined.
First you need to take off some too general description, such as growing from dead wood.
Then, add the spore print color, because this information can get you to, or at least closer
to the right genus.
As for how to do a spore print, just place a fresh specimen on a piece of white paper
and wait for two to three hours.
Thirdly, if you can think of any lookalikes, definitely include that in you search because
other people may think the same and include this information in their image descriptions.
So, I use jack-o'-lantern lookalike, ring zone, brown spore print as the new combination,
and I find a close-enough image with this latin name: Gymnopilus junonius, which is
used to be called Gymnopilus spectabilis.
Common name: Big laughing Gym.
This mushroom is both psychoactive and poisonous.
The two are not the same thing.
It means this mushroom can get you sick, physically, beyond causing hallucinations.
Also, now you see why it is called the big laughing Jim not laughing Tom.
Gym, is short for Gymnopilus, which is the genus. and junonius is the species.
Laughing, of course, refers to its psychoactive properties.
Now we find the Gymnopilus junonius, but the identification doesn't end here.
The question that follows is, how do I know what I got is indeed the junonius speices,
not some sister species?
You know that under a genus there are multiple species.
These species can look amazingly like, as the American Caesar's and many other species
in the Amanita genus.
Or, these species can differ greatly in terms of size, color, and edibility.
A case in point would be the edible brick cap and the poisonous sulphur tuft that we
just discussed.
If you are a mushroom lover, or, if you collect for the pot, you probably wouldn't and shouldn't
stop at the genus.
You want to know which particular species you are dealing with.
Let's check what species the Gymnopilus genus has.
See the link at the bottom of the page?
Click on it, and you got a whole list of Gymnopilus mushrooms, and with just a brief browse I
find several species that could be justifiably called big laughing Gym or at least, big Gym.
See, deciding on the Genus is easy, but getting into species is much tricker.
Sometimes a microscopic examination, if not a DNA test, is required.
But this is not to say macro-level observations and judgement are totally futile.
After reading the description on wiki and Googling the images based on the Latin name
I got, I start to think my sample is not the Gymnopilus junoius, which seems to be significantly
darker and heftier.
wiki points to another possibility: Gymnopilus ventricosus.
This latter species is said often mistaken for the junonius, but, it contains no psilocybin
therefore is not psychoactive.
The pictures of Gymopilus ventricosus look about right.
but this species grows in pacific northwest and on conifer wood.
Well, I live in the East, and I am sure I found them on a hard wood.
So it couldn't be the ventricosus.
After more research, mainly on Michael Kuo's mushroom expert website, my favorite mushroom
website by the way, I came to this species: Gymnopilus luteus.
Dr. Kuo writes: "It is limited to the hardwood forest and of eastern North America, and features
yellow colors as well as a slender stem."
Now everything lines up.
Except for one last thing: wiki mentions this species stains green where bruised.
Well, if there was green color changing going on a yellow mushroom, I probably would
notice it.
Dr. Kuo says it staining brown.
Could be.
But definitely not immediately like within 30 seconds nor that obvious.
With time, a lot of mushroom gets darker where injured, and I am not sure if it is accurate
to call that a bruise.
Anyway, I am not going to be too obsessed with this criterion.
After all, not every source mentions the bruise effect and at least most of these google images
under Gymnopilus luteus look just like my sample.
I can't speak with absolute certainty because this is my very first time seeing this mushroom
and I am not familiar with the rest species from the same genus.
But there's a pretty good chance that this one is a Gymnopilus luteus.
Unlike the Gymnopilus junoius that is both psychoactive and poisonous, and the Gymnopilus
ventricosus which is not psychoactive, Gymnopilus luteus is Psychoactive but Not poisonous,
although I doubt anyone would want to eat it because it is absolutely very bitter.
So it's a quite interesting mushroom to know and I wish I found it earlier so I can
put it in the jack-o-lantern video and compare the two.
Chanterelles, honeys and ringless honeys all resemble the poisonous jack-o-lantern but
they pale next to this big laugh gym, which I think is almost a spitting image of the
jack o lantern, until you flip the cap.
But it's never too late.
And I'll generalize the similarities and differences of the two.
Similarities include: both can take on a brownish color especially when they are old, and both
grow in clusters from wood.
Some main differences are: the jack o-lantern has decurrent gills and a bare stem, and the
big laughing gym has attached gills and a ring zone on the stem.
The Jack o-lantern yields a very pale yellow spore print wheres the print of the big laughing
gym is orangish brown.
Also, the jack-o-lantern is on the orangish side, and this big laughing gym is more yellowish
and have light yellow flesh.
Lastly, the Gym has a hollow stem whereas that of jack o lantern, solid.
Okay so, this is how I identify unknown mushrooms.
I am that kind of person who prefers reading maps to asking people for directions.
And google and some other good mushroom websites are my maps.
If this method is not your type and you feel more comfortable consulting an expert, definitely
do that.
But google is always by your side and responsive, and usually you'll find a whole lot more
information from it, if you ask the right questions.
Oaky, thanks for watching, and see you next time.

How To Transfer iPhone To iPhone 2018 - Duration: 5:52.
if you aren't sure how to get all of your photos texts apps contacts and other
things from your old iPhone onto new one I'm going to show you exactly how to do
that quickly and easily welcome to my channel Boy Named Kelly here and I'm your
go-to guy for all things tech well some things Tech I don't know I feel like a
million people are talking about the new iPhones so whatever I'll just skip all
that and go straight to the washing machines no but really hit the subscribe
button and activate the bell so that you can see the rest of my amazing tips
recommendations and other things on how to save money on tech that's actually
worth it today's video is sponsored by speedy coin speedy coin is the best way
to get free v bucks in fortnight along with gift cards for PlayStation Xbox and
more click the invite link in the description that they gave me at the end
of the video or use the code "Kelly" to get started alright let's get started
now the first thing you need to do is make sure make sure you have your Apple
ID and your Apple ID password handy this is important because you cannot access
your info on another iPhone without having the proper credentials now if
you've lost track of that information just head on over to iforgot.apple.com
and you'll be on your feet in no time next it's vital that we backup the
iPhone to iTunes or the iCloud now if you aren't sure how the iCloud works
don't sweat it because I personally don't like to use it myself and nobody
seems to understand it at all anyway actually I personally prefer to use the
iTunes backup against the iCloud backup because I often have too much data to
store on there for free anyways you do have the option to subscribe monthly for
more space but I happen to have a good habit of backing up myself on iTunes at
home now to start an iTunes backup just hop onto any computer at home that has a
current version of iTunes expect to be prompted in iTunes to enter your iphones
passcode and also confirm that you trust this device AKA your computer once
you've done that click on the little iphone icon below the volume bar in
itunes on the left hand side of the screen you will see a few options and
you'll want to make sure that you've selected the tab that says summary on
the section that's labeled backups you'll see a few different options for
how your iphone can automatically backup select the option that says this
computer after you've confirmed this change by clicking the apply button on
the bottom right of the screen you're ready to begin backing up your
iPhone go ahead and click on the backup Now button and then BOOM
you're halfway
done protip backing up your iphone to iTunes
is not the same as moving your photos to your computer at least in the sense of
being able to view those photos on your computer this is because an iTunes
backup is kind of like a sealed package yes it has all the information in it
like your texts photos everything else whatever you have on your phone fun
games yeah but its main purpose is to serve as a safety net in case you lose
everything on your phone the long term solution that I have is to simply
offload those photos from my phone to my Mac in the Photos app that way I can
ultimately have them saved on my computer's backup as well you can never
have too many backups so remember that and there's nothing worse than data loss
if you want to see me cry delete all of my data
after you finish backing up your iPhone be sure to click on the eject button
that can be found right next to your iPhones name on the top left section of
your screen and blammo you're ready to begin moving on to your new iPhone
goodbye old iPhone you a piece of garbage I wish I had a new iPhone I have
an iPhone 7 I've had it for two years anyways wow you are just so good at this
technology thing I can't believe you've gotten this far all the moms watching
this yeah good job anyways I hope you thumbs up this video because I'm
definitely earning it we are both earning I'll thumbs you up as well you
just got to leave a comment down below okay let's unbox that new iPhone and get
that sucker plugged into iTunes the following steps are pretty
self-explanatory you'll just need to make sure that you actually read the
prompts that iTunes gives you in regards to updating your phone and restoring the
backup on to it that way everything transfers nicely you'd be surprised how
many problems can be avoided if people would just read the prompts to finalize
transferring your data from your old iPhone to your new one iTunes greets you
with the screen that reads welcome to your new iPhone select the option that
says restore from backup and make sure the drop down menu has your most recent
backup selected once you click on the blue continue button you are well on
your way when that's finished you'll need to read the prompts to connect your
iPhone to Wi-Fi enter your Apple ID setup touch ID etc aren't you so excited
I'm excited you and I can do all these hard iphone things getting new iPhones
transferring the data no biggie just make sure you keep an eye on your iPhone
to follow the prompts that may give you and also you'll want to make sure that
you change your SIM card from your old iPhone to your new one and if you have a
new SIM card make sure that the carrier has actually activated it
if you have problems with your SIM card contact your carrier usually that's something that
they can help you out with now if something wasn't working out for you
leave a comment down below and I'll totally hit you back if you're not sure
what's going on I'm always happy to help I know that can be really frustrating
when you don't know what to do now this video helped you I'd love for you to

How to Write a Book Faster | AuthorTube Writing Tips - Duration: 14:21.
Are you looking to write your book faster?
In this iWriterly video, we will discuss 14 tricks to finish your manuscript sooner.
Coming up!
Heya, book nerds!
I'm Meg LaTorre, and on this episode of iWriterly, let's talk about how we can write
a book faster.
Before we get into today's content, hit the subscribe button and ring that bell if
you haven't already.
Here on iWriterly, we create videos about how to be a successful modern-day author and
we fangirl about books.
As a quick disclaimer, not every writers needs or wants write faster. But if you're watching this video, you are likely wanting to increase your productivity when it comes to how quickly you write your manuscript.
But if you don't write your manuscript quickly, there is no shame or condemnation.
I think sometimes writers get into this mindset where we affiliate our productivity with our success as a writer and our ability to write good books.
One doesn't correlate with the other. You're not a bad writer if you write books more slowly.
All that said, despite our different speeds for our creative process, a lot of writers do want to write books faster.
The aspiration to write a book more quickly could be due to a variety of reasons or circumstances,
such as needing to adhere to deadlines (self-imposed or from a publisher), to provide a constant
stream of income (specifically, for self-published authors), and more.
In addition, most writers wish to dive into the worlds in their heads and have multiple
completed works.
Regardless of the reason, many writers strive for efficiency in order to write more books.
There's no judgment or condemnation if you are satisfied with your pace of writing.
But if you would like to increase your writerly output, consider utilizing these fourteen
tricks.
1.
Research your topic in advance
Don't go into your book without some knowledge of the genre or topic you plan to write.
Do your homework in advance.
This could mean learning about:
Setting – whether it's real or fictional Warfare and weaponry – specifically for
fantasy writers Technology – specifically for science fiction
writers History – specifically for historical fiction
or nonfiction writers General facts
The protagonist's vocation – especially if it's different from yours
2.
Get to know your characters
It's hard to write a story about a person (or people) you don't know.
Do some exercises before you sit down to write in order to get to know your characters more,
such as character questionnaire or profiles.
Before I write, I want to get to know the 1.)
protagonist(s), 2.)
love interest, 3.)
main secondary characters, and the 4.)
antagonist.
Below are a few examples of what you can write down about each of your characters:
A few of their many physical attributes Any quirks or repeat mannerisms
Their desire/what drives them at the beginning of the book
Their heart's truest desire (what they need vs. what they think they want)
Their general character arc (how they will change in
the beginning vs. the end of the book after the main plot events)
Some writers like to discover who their characters are as they write.
However, consider doing some type of exercise to help you get to know your characters first.
In addition, record everything about these characters in a separate document so you can
go back to your notes later.
It's rather inconvenient if your protagonist starts off the book with blue eyes and end
the book with green eyes.
3.
Outline what you will be writing in the upcoming writing session (or more)
Personally, I'm a hardcore plotter and like to outline my entire manuscript.
If you're a plotter as well, consider outlining your entire book before you start writing.
However, if you fall on the pantser end of the spectrum (a writer who "flies by the
seat of their pants" and doesn't plan anything out in advance), you may want to
write down what you think will happen in the next chapter or scene before you write so
you don't get stuck because you don't know what's happening next.
4.
Make a writing schedule for the coming week
Some people like to write every day.
Some don't.
Some can't.
Personally, I like to write at the same time every week day.
But that may not work for you.
If your schedule is constantly changing due to work or other life circumstances, take
a look at your upcoming week and set aside some time to write.
If you can plan out farther than that, great!
If you want to write at the same time every day and thrive on routine (like I do), then
consider making an ongoing schedule.
But be purposeful about setting aside time for writing so you don't come to the end
of the week and realize you never (or hardly) made time to write.
5.
Set realistic daily/weekly goals
Rather than simply saying, "I'm going to write one hour each day," give yourself
goals to hit within those writing sessions or by the end of the week.
If you have one hour to write, you may find your mind wandering for part of it or you
may not feel entirely motivated to write the entire time.
But if you say, "I'm going to sit at my computer to write for one hour each day and
aim for 500 words or more," you have given yourself a tangible goal to work toward.
6.
Get in the mindset to write before your writing time
Not everyone can sit down and immediately start writing.
Start mentally preparing yourself before you write.
That could mean listening to music, lighting a candle, rereading the chapter you wrote
before, reviewing your manuscript outline, and so on.
7.
Avoid editing as you write
If you want to draft fast, there isn't time to edit as you write.
Take off your editor hat and allow yourself to write words that may suck.
Avoid editing until you finish the first draft (if you can), or if you need to edit as you
go, consider editing at the end of each chapter (and not while you're drafting).
8.
Use placeholders
If you don't know the name of a character or what to call a planet or city in some fictional
setting, add a placeholder.
The way I write placeholders will look something like: [PLANET] or [PROTAGONIST'S BFF].
That way, I can search the document for the brackets and easily find the placeholders
when I'm editing.
In addition, it allows me to continue drafting without having to stop and think about the
perfect name.
9.
Utilize the Pomodoro Technique (also known as "writing sprints")
For those of you unfamiliar with the Pomodoro Technique, it's similar in theory to a writing
sprint.
It's a time management method created in the 1980s by Francesco Cirillo where you work
in timed intervals, usually 25 minutes in length, and it's separated by short breaks.
You only have so much brain power to accomplish a task before you need
a break; and you will get more done if you focus entirely on a single project for a shorter
time (vs. on multiple projects for a longer period of time).
Personally, I've found that writing for 20 minutes, resting for five minutes, and
then repeating those timed intervals has increased my writerly output.
Experiment with the time of the intervals to see what works best for you.
10.
Set a timer
Going along with the Pomodoro Technique and writing sprints, set a timer for when you
are writing vs. resting.
That way, you don't have to be distracted by looking at the clock to see if you are
at the end of your writing sprint.
You could also set a timer for longer breaks so you don't use up more time unexpectedly.
11.
Write in the same place or at the same time (or don't)
To make writing a habit, it's important to be consistent—and sometimes that means
writing at the same place or same time.
Most writers want to get to a point where they write so much that if they don't write,
it doesn't feel quite right (because the need to write is now ingrained in them).
Consider making accompanying habits alongside writing frequently so when you go to the same
place to write, for example, your creative brain is ready to go.
On the flip side, rotating the location where they write helps some writers to be more productive.
For example, writing at a coffee shop may have less distractions or temptations to do
things other than writing (vs. writing at home, where you could be distracted by chores
or things around the house).
Learn what works for you (either changing things up or making a routine).
12.
Track your progress
Keep yourself accountable by tracking your progress.
Sometimes, writing down how much you wrote each day and seeing you wrote several chapters
by the end of the week is encouragement enough to keep going and working hard.
13.
Manage your expectations
Depending on your experience level, you will want to manage your expectations.
If this is your first novel, it will likely take you much longer to complete it than it
would for someone who has ten books under their belt.
Learn what your baseline is.
Try out a few writing sprints to see how many words you usually get in a session.
Then, work hard to try to increase your productivity and learn to write faster.
14.
Don't be afraid to write a crappy first draft
In the words of Terry Pratchett: "The first draft is just you telling yourself the story."
As I said in the How to Write More Words video: "Your first draft is supposed to be an imperfect
retelling of the perfect story in your head."
Give yourself permission to be imperfect as you allow your imagination creative freedom
to tell the story of your heart.

How to roll and secure the main door of the Nallo GT and Kaitum GT's extended vestibule - Duration: 0:52.
Hi, I'm Petra Hilleberg. I am here with a Kaitum GT
and I wanted to show you how to roll the GT entrance of the Kaitum GT and the Nallo GT.
So on the GT, you can see here that there are two sets of toggles here.
The lower toggle is actually the one that you want to use to roll the GT entrance door.
The upper toggle is to roll the whole front of the Kaitum and Nallo GT doors.
So when you want to have the whole front rolled you use the upper,
but for the regular door you use this toggle.

How To Contour Your Nose (In Arabic)| طريقة كونتور الأنف - Duration: 9:46.
Hello! my name is Huda from Hudabeauty
and today i am going to show you
how to contour your nose
i get a lot of request to make this video
nose contouring is so important in makeup
when you wear makeup
you cover your nose with foundation
if you don't contour
even if you have a small nose
it won't have any dimensions
it will look flat
so it's a very important part of your makeup
today i will show you my technique
to make your nose look better with makeup
the first thing i use is primer
make sure you use a good primer
in order for your makeup to stay in place throughout the day
so i like to use an excellent primer
this one is Matte Perfection from Hudabeauty
i really like this primer
it helps the makeup stick to your face
this is also good for oil control
so that you don't look shiny
your skin will not look oily during the day
i will use a little bit of this primer
all over my nose
this will make your makeup last for a long time
like i said, it will also help with oil control
as you can see i haven't drawn my eyebrow yet
because i want to show you
how your eyebrows affect the look of your nose
they can make it look slimmer
and now i am going to apply some foundation on my nose
i am using the color Macchiato from Hudabeauty
you can use any foundation you have
you can see how my nose looks bigger now
because of the foundation
so when you apply foundation on your nose
it will look larger
this is why you should contouryour nose
when you wear makeup
foundation will make your face look flat
it won't look natural
i am done with the foundation and i will start contouring
after the foundation
you want to set your nose with a little bit of powder
this will ensure that your foundation stays still
when you apply your contour powder
you should always contour on a face that has been set with powder
you should never contour with powder on top of a foundation
so it looks smooth
and seamlessly blended
so i am applying a little bit of powder on my nose
you can use any powder you want
i am using this palette from Mac Cosmetics
this is their contour kit
i am using light medium
i like this palette because you can achieve a lot with it
first i am going to apply a little bit of bronzer
all over my nose
my nose sticks out a little bit
so i like to make look smaller
i am using this shade
you can use it as a bronzer as well
and i will apply it all over my nose
then, i am using a small brush
this one is from Zoeva
Number 235
it's called Shader
i am now using this shade
it is called Sculpt
i like to take my eyebrows as a reference
i start to contour down from the inner part of my eyebrows
as you can see, my nose looks very thin now
i am going to apply a little bit under the tip of my nose
if your nose is wide, you can contour the sides
apply the contour shade on the corners
and if you want to make it look even thinner
take some loose powder
this one is Easy Bake in the shade Banana Bread
and i am applying it
on the sides of my nose
i am taking some off of my hand
this is too much!
this will also make your nose look straight
as you can see, my nose looks so thin
it is too thin actually
and then i am going to brush the powder off
so it looks more natural and blended
i am using the bronzer
to blend everything seamlessly
i am using the same brush
i am taking this bronzer
i really like this shade
and i am brushing the powder off
and then i will apply some more bronzer
so just a tiny bit of bronzer on the sides
don't apply it on the center
it looks nice and thin now
for the last step
if you like to use a highlighter, go ahead
i don't like to use it on my nose that much
i don't think it suits my nose personally
since it is tall and going a bit forward
the highlighter will enhance this
i like using the bronzer
to make it look natural
i like to do heavy contouring on my nose
because i use a flash when taking picture
and when you use a flash
the contour fades a lot
and i want it to show more
the last thing i like to do
is to draw my eyebrows
as you can see my eyebrows are far apart
so if you want to make your nose look even slimmer
try to draw your eyebrows closer together
if they are very far apart
your nose will look wider
and if your nose is too slim
you can draw your eyebrows farther apart
i want my nose to look slimmer
so i am drawing my eyebrows closer together
so am
because i only want to work on the inner part
this eyebrow pencil is from IT Cosmetics
it is called Warm Blonde, so it is very light
i am drawing tiny hairs right here
very lightly
i am going to use a darker color for the rest of the eyebrow
and as you can see
this makes my nose look so much slimmer
so that was the last step
as i said before, you can apply highlighter
if my nose was thinner i would
but my nose is tall
so the highlighter would not suit me at all
in this video i only showed you how i contour my own nose
i can do another video on different types of noses
mine as i said is tall and going forward just a bit
if you have a different nose let me know
so i can make more nose contouring videos
just let me know in the comments down below
what you want to see next
and i will take your request into consideration
my Arabic is a little bit better now
i find it easier
at first it was so difficult
but i am improving every day and i hope you enjoyed this video
i will see you guys later!don't forget to subscribe to my channel
and thumbs up this video
kisses!

How the Crow killed the black snake- Narration-Shobha Tharoor| Presentation-Rajashree warrier - Duration: 6:55.
Namaste!
How the crow killed the black snake?
This is a story from the Panchatantra.
It is a story of two crows that lived in a tree
that was also occupied by a black snake.
The crows were fed up with the black snake
that consistently ate their eggs.
The story tells how the crows solved their problem by using their intelligence.
The moral of the story is that
Even strong and powerful opponents
can be overcome with cunningness.
The hand gestures used in the story include Crow
Snake, Laying an egg
Ban entry
Palace
Soldier
Flying
Remember
Cunning
Two crows made their home in a big banyan tree.
They were very happy there. They decided to have some baby crows.
But soon they learnt that there was a snake that lived in the hollow of their trees.
That big black snake
was very partial to crow eggs.
Every time that mom crow laid some eggs,
The black snake
Slithered out and ate them all.
Not even one egg had a chance to hatch into a baby crow.
Mummy crow was very sad. She said to her husband
We cannot carry on like this.
We must move as far away from this horrible snake as soon as possible.
We do not have the strength or skills to prevent this greedy snake.
Father crow was reluctant to agree.
He calmly said.
We made our home here so many months ago.
We have been so happy in these wonderful
surroundings, How can we now fly to some new place?
Then we will have to start our life all over again.
Mommy crow tried to feel hopeful like her husband.
She agreed to hatch a few more eggs.
But black snake
slithered out again and ate all the eggs with swift
precision.
Not one egg remained that could hatch into a baby crow.
Mommy crow was heartbroken.
She flapped her wings and cried out loudly.
She told her partner,
You must do something.
Father crow decided to seek the help of his friend Jackal.
Jackal was wise and cunning. He agreed to help the friend.
The Jackal immediately reassured Crow
Here's what you do.
Ask your wife to fly to the palace nearby and steal something precious from there.
She needs to make sure that the security guards at the palace notice the theft.
He then whispered the rest of the instructions to crow.
The next day mummy crow flew to the palace.
She saw that the princess was bathing.
Crow slowly circled.
Made sure that she was in the view of the palace guards
and Swooped down and picked up a glittering necklace in her beak.
She began to slowly fly away.
Making sure that the guards were in pursuit.
When she reached the banyan tree,
she immediately dropped the necklace into the hollow of the tree.
The black snake lay coiled there.
The glitter of the shiny necklace glowing in the sunlight brought the snake out.
The guards immediately pounced on him and beat him with sticks to a hasty death.
Remember this "Even stronger and more powerful enemies can be overcome with cunning".

How To Analyze A Property And Run Comps - Duration: 9:34.
You want to know if you have a smoking deal in real estate so you need to run
the numbers, you need to analyze, you need to run the comps, you want to know do I
have a really good deal? Today, I'm going to show you exactly how to do that with a
very simple tool. And today, I'm also going to share with you how do you find
really amazing hot deals. Now, join me. I've got Burton. He's in town from
California with Props Dream. This is my go to real estate software for cutting
out all the Realtors or all the unnecessary people when it comes to
buying a house with maximum discounts and maximum equity. Now, Burton. I'm asking
you, I'm going to put you to the test, okay? I'm going to be testing your software and
here's what I want to know. Can you help me in less than a minute, find a hot
smoke and deal that has a significant... Let's call it a 20% equity position? -Okay.
-You're up to the challenge? -Absolutely. -Okay, awesome. -We're going to go back to Salt Lake
City and I'm using some of the criteria you're very familiar with. So I'm going to
look for something that's owner-occupied. I'm going to filter through the MLS looking
for single-family and using your criteria. 3 to 5 bedrooms, 1 and
2 bathrooms. -Entry level, hot. -I'm also going to look for anything on the MLS
that's active or failed. -Okay. -What I also what I'm going to do is look
for anything that's listed below market price. And it's currently on the market
as well. -Now, I'm going to put a max on 230,000. Because really, I
like to be below the median and so that just means we're going to be there. -Right.
Now, we can... For me, I like to look for any type of owner so I'll leave that alone
value time. So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to look for properties that are
listed up to 230,000 but our system calculates it at a value of
$260,000. -Now guys, you need to watch very carefully because
you can get the software for free. It's something special that I negotiated with
Props Dream. For all of my investors, I want you to have access to really good
deals today at no coast. and so, I want you... I want you to
literally duplicate exactly what he's doing on the free system that you can
download in the link in the description. And for your area, be below the median
and you have to know your numbers a little bit. But check it out.
I want my estimated value at 260,000 or greater. So
basically, we're saying, "Find me something..." See, there's a margin between 230 and 260.
"Find me something under 230 that's at least worth 260 that's giving us a gap."
-Absolutely. So now that we've done that, we're going to go ahead and apply. And we narrowed down 16 results out of 10,000 MLS list.
-Okay, so out of 10,000, we brought it down to 16 of the hottest deals that are
below the median. Do you guys see how amazing that is? Let's look at the first
one here. What do we got? -348, East.
The property values 264. It's listed at $200,000. -Boom! That's what I'm talking
about right there, okay. That was maybe longer than a minute because you were
explaining, grace period. You're all good. Dude, friends, you got a look at this. This
is a home that is listed for $200,000, it has an estimate of 264,000. Let's look at
the next one. What else would this...? 1613. So estimated value of 290,
currently listed at $200,000. -Okay. I'm just going to breathe for a second because
I'm going to pause. I'm going to take a bathroom break but really I'm just
going to pull up my cellphone and I'm going to call this person up be like, "Hello, I have
an offer for you right now." Guys, an estimated value of 290, purchase it for
$200,000. Now listen, you could have a team of Realtors going through all
10,000 of those deals all day long. And most of them are going to tell you this,
"It's not possible. You can't find that much equity." But I'm telling you, the deal
of the decade comes along like every day. You just need to know how to look for it.
In PropStream, they're making it easy which is why I asked him to give you a
free account or at least free trial so that you can check this out. Do the same
thing. Literally, get a deal in your area right now. Look up the next one. I just
got it. I just got it now. So, he found 60 grand on the first one, we've found
$93,000 on the second one. This is a property on redwood
road. -271, listed at 229. -Okay, so this was 229
271. We're looking at a $54,000 discrepancy. So friends, check it out.
We just found 3 smoke and hot actually live deals that we can call and
I guarantee you, if I'm making that phone call I'm going to be getting 1, 2 or
3 of all of those deals. People are always complaining, "I don't know how to
run the comps. I don't know how to find the good deals." We have found them. Now,
let... This whole video is about running the comps. Let's take the first one that
we had found there. -Absolutely. -And actually, take the second one. Because
they had $93,000 of equity. That is awful suspicious but
hey, if there's ten thousand homes on the market, there's bound to be one person
that's listing in a third below market. -Alright. -So our system will give you
access again to County reported comps as well as MLS listings. So, the first is we
have 15 comps to this property. -And those are all listed without a
half-a-mile? -Correct. -Okay, that's awesome friends. You've got, you know, we're always
looking for 3 comps.3 things that have sold in... In a half
mile radius. Or if you know that your properties in a weird location where
you're bordering up against like commercial or like a million dollar
residency, you know, eliminate those ones. You're trying to stick with homes in the
area that are the most like your home. So you don't skew the numbers. -Absolutely. So,
here, we can also now filter our comps. We can say we want something similar to our
property. 4 bedrooms, minimum 1 bathroom. -Because that's the home we're
looking at is a 4 bedroom, 1 bath. -So, now our system has identified four of
them with this average sale price of 288. -Okay, so check it out. What happened was
that it is that we went down from 93,000 to $88,000.
They basically said, "Hey, if you're going to eliminate the irrelevant
comps that are in the area and stick with the homes that are the most recent
and bedroom, bathroom and size", now we've only got four real comps. You want to
select the best ones. And right now, they're still showing eighty plus
thousand dollars of equity. -Absolutely. Now, the next step I would like to do is
look at the hundred and fifty most recent MLS activities within a one-mile
radius around the property. Here, I can see things that are active. Like this is
active starting September 11. It's a 3-bedroom at 249. But we can
now look for the 4 bedrooms....
So, let's look at active four bedrooms. So, here are we are going down. Here are
the active four bedroom. So, we have one that's active. 4 bedroom, 2. Was
active on August. So, is listed starting on August being listed at $372,000
-Which is $90,000 even higher?
-Absolutely. -Okay. So, you can see you've got 373, 936, 370, 499, 609,
274. So, we need to get to the relic. So, can we actually... Can we do a
comparison here on just the MLS listings that are the most relevant? -Yeah. So, what
I normally like to do is I like to sort out by the most by sold. So I'm going to go
here at the top and change the status. So, it shows me all the sold properties. So
now, I'm just looking to find any 4, 2 bedrooms that are on the sold results.
Here's a 4, 2 that sold in February for $309,000.
Another one that's sold in Maine for 274. -Yep. -There's one that's sold
315 and may. So idealistically, we're now showing you information that
the realtors have access to but you have access to it through PropStream. -Now
guys, this is really incredible because you need to understand that when you
work through a realtor, someone needs to pay them. And the seller is always going to
be paying 6% out of pocket. 3% to their agent for listing, 3% to your for being
the buyer's agent. 6% on a hundred grand is $6,000. 6%
on %300,000 is 18 grand.
Instead of the seller actually paying %18,000, to the
Realtors, they can actually give that $18,000 or a part
of it to you in the form of a discount on the property. So, this is a really
powerful negotiating tool. Friends, when you're trying to get a pile of equity,
this makes it really easy because it helps you cut out the middlemen when
necessary. Helps you go right to the source, helps you know upfront what the
best deals are. Helps you run the comps on homes that have sold, what the active
listings are. And basically, you've got all the information at your fingertips
so that you can run the numbers and then make intelligent offers. Now, this whole
thing, this whole system, instead of me teaching you how to pencil it out by, you
know, the calculator knew by hand which I
still do anyway. I'm old school, I'm also new school and I'm using systems like
this. And I'm telling you, out of all the real estate software's that are out
there to help you find good deals, negotiate good deals, get the contact
information of the best deals, learn how to run the comps for the best deals, PropStream
is my chosen software. It has eliminated the need for any of the
others. When I'm in the mood for a good idea,
boom! It's right there at my fingertips. If you want that, I've gone to them and I
said, "Hey, I want to negotiate, you know, less fees." And you guys charge anyone
else. It's already a really reasonable, super, inexpensive system but I've asked
for the best deals on it. And have also asked for a free trial, no questions
asked for you. And I'm negotiated that on your behalf and it is available. So, all
you really need to do is click the link in the description below and start
finding the good deals, running the numbers and go get yourself a good deal today.
