Can science help you be more attractive to men?

The answer is YES, yes it can!

Hello, ladies!

It's Amy North here and today I'm going to talk about 6 scientific ways to be more

attractive to men.

So let's jump right into it!

1.)

Wear Red.

The University of Rochester found that women who wear red may be more attractive to men.

The study featured a number of experiments where men were to rate black and white headshots

of women on red, gray, blue, green, or white backgrounds, and the women standing in front

of the red backgrounds seemed more attractive (and more like someone they would date).

And in fact, when asked WHY these men chose the women standing in front of red backgrounds,

few suggested the background color, indicating that the reasons for picking red were completely

subconscious.

2.)

Surround yourself with friends (preferably good looking ones too).

Another study out of the University of California concluded that people look better when they're

surrounded by other people.

A group of people were shown 300 pictures of women's faces… both in pictures where

she was with friends, and pictures where she was by herself.

Results overwhelmingly showed that both men and women found women surrounded by friends

more attractive than their solo counterparts.

So the next time you go out, definitely go out in a group.

3.)

Smile!

Smiling can make women up to 5 times more attractive to a man because it stimulates

certain parts of a man's brain.

Not only that, but smiling disarms a man which puts him at ease, making it easier to converse

with him.

Also, it's been scientifically proven that men like people who like them, thus making

them more attractive.

So the next time you're flirting with a guy, don't be afraid to show him those pearly

whites and you'll be bagging 'em and tagging 'em in no time!

By the way, ladies, this isn't an exhaustive list of ways to make a man chase you and adore

you… but for that, I made a video on my website that'll help you become irresistible

to men.

To watch this video, just head over to www.CoachNorth.com.

Again that's www.CoachNorth.com!

4.)

Grow your hair out!

In a study conducted in 1995, men were shown pictures of women with long hair and short

hair, and the women with longer hair scored consistently higher in the attractiveness

department.

Not only that, but scientists have said that long, lustrous locks are a good indicator

of fertility and well-being.

So don't be afraid to grow that hair out… and don't be afraid to show it off!

5.)

Mimic his body language, but do so subtly!

According to another study, women who subtly mimicked their dates scored higher in terms

of likability.

But obviously, the key here is subtly.

Don't go out of your way trying to mime your date – he might get weirded out by

that.

Instead, try something like this…say you notice that he brushes his hair every so often…try

brushing YOUR hair a minute after he brushes his.

Once you master this little trick, he'll find himself liking for reasons he can't

easily pinpoint.

6.)

Raise your voice.

A higher pitched voice signifies youth – and it also forces men to think of you as the

delicate, more fairer sex.

Studies have shown that to men want to 'protect' women that seem delicate and fair… and triggering

these protective instincts will make him more attracted to you.

So the next time you're out with a guy, don't be afraid to be a little bubbly and

heighten the sound of your voice!

So that's all I have for you today, ladies… if you have any questions, don't be afraid

to shoot me some in the comments section below.

Also, if you want to learn more about how to make a guy chase you, fall in love with

you, and commit to you, then just head over to my website at www.CoachNorth.com.

How to Make a Freestyle Applique Landscape - Duration: 17:15.

I absolutely love to make freestyle landscape quilts.

As a matter of fact it's where I got my start.

So today's tutorial I'm going to show you a bunch of basic techniques of making

your own shapes with a rotary cutter.

That's right.

Let's get started.

You probably recognize the quilt on the wall behind me from our Eagle Over Alaska tutorial.

Now that was a specific pattern.

But I want to point out some of the elements.

So just go ahead and just kind of look past the eagle and the trees and the mountains

and the rocks and everything.

I want to teach you all how to do that kind of on the freestyle.

As a matter of fact I'm even using the exact same fabrics from the Eagle over Alaska kit

so you could see what it looks like without the eagle.

And it's still available of course.

So a couple of things I want to point out.

In my stack of fabrics themselves, to make it super easy for the creative process I put

my Heat N Bond featherlite on the back of all of my elements.

So you can see my colors here.

I've got them all set up with the exception of one piece of fabric.

The background fabric here.

The blue that I'm using, I don't put it any fuse on because it would just becomes

the background of the entire project.

And the fun trick with doing that, and I want you to choose your colors specifically, even

though I won't be talking about color management today.

The blue of the water can also be the blue of the sky.

So one more trip back to the quilt just to point out what I'm talking about.

If you look back into the valley way back here, there's a little river coming through,

right?

And that river coming through here is also the water here.

And in this quilt I've used the purple for the sky.

And I have another fun sample here that I want to show you just to show you the same

exact fabrics but I also used that same purple over the blue as clouds.

So you can do all kinds of different play with using your blue background.

And that can work as your water and your sky all in the same element.

Now I've got to clear off my work station a little bit.

And we're going to get started.

And I work from the background up.

So what I want to show you first is how to make our mountains with our snowcaps.

So I'm going to use some of my black fabric.

And I don't believe I've already pointed out that these are all batiks.

And batiks are awesome for landscape because and applique because they are a higher thread

count and they do not fray nearly as much.

So one of the things I'm going to do actually is I'm going to put my white fabric which

will become the peaks of my mountains on top of my black.

And I'm just going to put a pin in here right now to hold it from shifting around.

Scotch tape is actually a great trick as well because with the Scotch tape you can cut right

through it.

And this is just to hold the black and white together.

So now what I want to do is I want to approach this the way I'm going to really cut it.

And I"m going to start over here on one end.

One of my tricks on the mountains is I always start from the edge.

And I start to head up over the top of the mountain.

And then I come back down and I start to form.

And I'm going to cut past this snow, right?

So you can start to see that that would form a snowy peak on that mountain.

And I'm going to do some pretty basic shapes today.

The more you work with this the more elaborate you can become.

Come back up in here.

And I also want to point out that none of our scraps are waste.

These can be used as another mountain in just a few seconds if we need, right?

So I"m going to set that one aside.

And I"m going to continue to keep cutting my snowcaps.

You also might be wondering, hey what is that clever tool that you have in your hand there,

Rob?

And why does it corner so well?

Well funny enough, this is called the Shark Applicutter.

And I actually invented this over the last several years to do this exact trick.

It's a 14 millimeter blade which makes it very easy for the curves and the cornering

like you just saw me do.

Now I want to set these aside also and the bottom of my snow doesn't look like the

snow behind me.

So I need to give it a little character too.

So again I"m just kind of rolling my cutter through here.

And basically my one rule of thumb when doing applique is no straight lines, ok?

No straight lines exposed I should say.

We can have straight lines that are hidden underneath.

So I'm just going to finish out my snow as I go along there.

And then I also need to trim the bottom of my mountain.

But I'm not sure where it needs to finish.

So that looks good.

Didn't that work awesome?

Ok.

So now what I also like to do is I"m going to bring it under the camera so you can see

but then we'll set it back aside over here.

While I'm building I have my base and I have something like batting or an ironing

board underneath it.

So that I can then go ahead and start to take my mountains and I can just put them in.

So what I do is I build an element and I set it into my project.

Build an element and set it into my project.

For example I've been doing a little bit of pre cutting as well.

I've also made some of these shapes that look like clouds or wonderful fog or something

that would be coming in behind the mountains here.

So let's talk about how we make those next.

So let me move this out of our way a little bit.

So I can keep developing the elements.

Sorry I just love this so much I kind of forget that you're watching me do this right now.

This is really my happy place.

Now here comes that fun purple kind of light lavender kind of like clouds.

There's a couple of easy ways to do this.

You can actually see some of my remnants from before.

The easiest cloud or wispy line to cut using a rotary cutter again is kind of an S curving

up.

And then you just take that cutter and you just roll backwards actually.

And you kind of make almost like a flame shape.

And I like to do in a couple of little loops and that makes something like that.

But that will park in behind a mountain very nicely over time.

So that straight line I created can be hidden.

The other kinds of clouds I like to do, like I said you can see the remnants of one I made

behind me.

I'll do that and I'll come across the top with a really little wispy line.

But I want a bumpy top of my cloud like yay.

But then the bottom is kind of where the vapor trails of the cloud kind of run out.

So you still want a nice soft edge that goes so you can run something like that as well

so you can see it looks more like a fun fluffy cumulous cloud.

And of course you can use combinations of the two in your landscape as well, ok?

We've got our clouds.

We've got our mountains.

We've got our snowcaps.

The next thing I like to do is I like to build a background of a mountain, a foothill.

I usually use a green fabric.

I will usually use the darker of the two if I can.

So I've got like this big green right here.

And what I'll first do is I kind of just look for what would be like my mountain scape.

One of the things that's cool about this tool is the backend works like a Hera marker.

So if I wanted to test something out I can actually use this and you probably won't

be able to see it at home.

But I could actually like score a little line on the back of this and it leaves a little

bit of, kind of a, basically what it does is it's flattening down the fiber.

And so I can see this trace line.

So then I can come in here and I can cut.

And that works really great when I already have elements on my quilt and I want to be

able to draw on the top because if you draw on the back everything is reversed due to

the free, excuse me due to the fusible web.

So now I've got this wonderful mountain scape that could fit in this way.

But what I like to do is add a little bit of character along the top and I cannot do

that with my scissors yet, or excuse me with my rotary cutter yet.

I do it with my little scissors.

And that's fun.

What you really want to do is just spin your foothill around.

And now I'm going to come in here, and I'll just do a few because this part takes quite

a while, but I love it.

I come down and I'm going to cut in what would look like little teeny tree shapes in

the background.

The best part about this is what you want to do is you want to make yourself a really

strong cup of coffee.

And then you start trying to cut a straight line and you'll get these wonderful wiggly

lines because all of the caffeine in your system and it will look like these fun little

trees up on the top of your hillside.

Now what we're really doing is we're building perspective and character into all of our

shapes.

And you just want everything to kind of look organic.

So that means nothing is ever exactly the same as what you just did before.

Ok, now this might be a little hard to see.

I'm going to lay it down on my mountain range.

Try to slide it under the camera for us but I have a feeling this is going to be a bit

of a disaster.

There.

Maybe you can see it a little bit better underneath the top cam for you.

And that forms this wonderful mountain in the background.

But I also have a little bit of this river valley that we could start to create as well.

How do you fix the river valley, Rob, you're probably saying.

I"m going to leave this here.

I'm going to work around it.

I think I can do that.

I'm just going to slide it up a little bit.

Because it's the same kind of cut.

What I do then is I bring another chunk of this back in here and I figure out how is

my river going to run with actually using the piece of fabric that I had.

So now I use that same Hera marker technique and I come up and let's say I'm going

to make my foothill like that.

Now I can lay this down like here, come back in and I can set that

right in there.

And now I have a beautiful river starting to run through my landscape.

Deep breath.

Ok.

Now the things you do in the background due to perspective are a little bit more blurry,

kind of like these eyes of mine nowadays.

They're a little bit less accurate, a little more generic is what I'm trying to say.

So those were all basic easy, easy shapes to make.

Let's start talking about some of the intricacy of our trees and our rocks and things so I'm

going to try once again to slide this over here.

You're getting the idea, I know.

I can feel you at home smiling.

Ok.

So let's talk about some trees like this first.

I generally will go to a little lighter than the background fabric that I was using.

Ok.

And then a lot of times my trees will get a little tall if I'm not careful.

So you notice I will actually take and just remove a strip of fabric so that my trees

don't get much larger than my project.

Now the trees are going to work very similar to those vapor trails and the clouds and stuff.

Often I'll start at what would be the bottom of my tree.

And then I'm going to take my cutter and I'm going to come into the fabric and then

back out.

See the triangle I just made, the little wedge shape.

Now pine trees get a little smaller as they grow so you notice that I'm taking a cut

in a little each time.

And if you cut a little bit into your applique it's ok because this all has the fusible

web on the back so you can just shape these as you need, ok?

Now I come to the other side and kind of duplicate.

And you don't have to cut each one individually.

You can certainly do it in this fun rolling motion like this.

Ok, now you have that tree.

Isn't that easy?

Now even better than that you already have half a tree made on the other side, watch

this.

Just spin this around.

And now you've got half your tree already developed.

Now you come back over here a little bit wider than the first one so that your trees look

like they were not all planted from seeds that were from the same source, right?

And now we've got another tree.

And another tree.

And these trees we start to lay into our background as well, right?

And then I'll also use some of my lighter colored trees and I'll start to build those

up into my landscape.

One of the things I do want to point out, I keep showing you the back.

The paper is still on my fusible applique shapes because it is so much easier to cut

and trim if the paper is on.

So I do not take the paper off like I have on this one until I am sure that the applique

piece is going to be just as I want it shaped, ok?

So again working from the heavens down we've got our sky.

We've got our mountains, our snow, our background hillside, our foreground trees.

Another thing I like to do is I like to do really basic rocks.

And so you can see here are a few really simple shapes of some rocks.

I think the key to doing rocks is using a couple of different shades of fabric so I

can lay them on top of each other and give them some character like you see here.

Ok you can obviously assume how easy rocks would be to do so let's grab one of these

pieces here.

But I want to show you yet another trick if I can.

So let's start with the rock itself.

So I'm just going to come and these are really rounded shapes at first.

Real easy cuts.

Now of course a rock doesn't often shape out that way so I want to take the bottom

down.

Now what I want to teach you here is let's say this rock, let's bring our landscape

back into frame here if we can.

We won't bring much of it, we don't need much.

Let's say this rock is sitting down here at the bottom.

Well a straight line is no problem for us.

But if this rock needed to sit along the water line or something like that, that straight

line is going to drive us nuts because we know that the water likes to ripple along

inanimate objects.

So the way I fix that is I take the bottom of this and I'll usually actually use my

scissors.

And I go along that straight line and then I make this cut where I go into the shape

with a little curve.

And then I come back out of the shape, ok?

And I'll probably do that again on this side or excuse me, this size of an applique

piece.

And then what happens is when I lay this along a body of water, now it looks like the water

is rippling along the side of the rocks.

So join me back at this landscape.

Let me see if I can point out a few more of these same things in a little bit more detail.

So over here with the rocks you can see that I've got a little bit of a wavy edge and

that helps give a little bit more of that watery texture there.

If you look up here in the mountains you can see that's where I've added in some of

those fun little detail pieces.

And again those were easily done with scissors.

Very simple.

Follow me to the other side of the eagle you can see they're larger.

They're more intricate because I wanted you to feel like you were getting a little

bit closer to the river body so that those trees are getting larger.

So the way you cut those perspectives is actually showing your viewer where they're standing

in the project or in the landscape itself, ok?

Some of our trees get lost in the quilt.

Some of them are very stand outish in the quilt.

And I do that on purpose not only to add energy to the project but also to balance the color.

So while I'm moving things around a lot of times I"ll put splashes of one element

of color on the opposite side of the quilt just to help bring it all back together.

Now one last thing I want to show you and that's some shadowing and highlights and

then we're going to wrap it up for the day.

But let's say you're dealing with this rock we were just playing with, right?

And it looks a little generic.

What I like to do is I like to make these kind of really jaggedy, raggedy cuts.

And sometimes you want to do it with scissors.

Sometimes you want to do it with your rotary cutter whatever you like.

And what these are going to be is like the cracks in the rocks.

And you can add moss.

You can add plants to your rocks.

And I do this in the mountains.

I do this in the trees.

I do this wherever I need to add some texture.

So now you can see that I've started to create this crack but it doesn't fit the

rock shape.

So the easiest way is to just flip this over and make it fit the rock shape as needed.

And then you can flip it right back over.

Of course I don't remember where I had it.

But somewhere in there is where it will fit, right?

So you can add in these crazy character textures by adding other colors of fabric but the most

fun way to do it is to add it in through your free motion machine quilting through opposite

colors of thread.

Through texturizing, through another technique we call thread painting.

Or even something like adding nylon netting on top of your landscape which makes the free

motion quilting even the easier.

As a matter of fact that might be something we do down the road.

So I hope you were able to pick up on some of the techniques and some of the tips I have.

I wanted to try to keep it really basic because I know once you start doing this you're

going to explode with creativity and you're going to create all kinds of fantastic shapes.

GOLDEN ORB WEB SPIDERS LIVE FOR ONLY A YEAR.

MATING IS THE CULMINATION OF THEIR LIVES.

FOR SOME CREATURES, THOUGH, TIME IS SIMPLY TOO SHORT FOR MATING,

SPRING ARRIVES LATE AND THE SUMMER IS SHORT,

LEAVING LITTLE TIME TO MATE

MEGABUNUS HAS ADAPTED HER REPRODUCTION

TO THE HARSH CLIMATE,

AND SO SACRIFICED THE GENETIC VARIATION

THAT COULD HAVE COME WITH SEX.

BUT OTHER PLANT EATERS IN GENTLER CLIMATES

USE THE SAME TECHNIQUE--

TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE GLUT OF FOOD THAT COMES WITH SPRING.

APHIDS ALSO CLONE THEIR OFFSPRING,

AND WHAT IS MORE, A FEMALE PRODUCES HER YOUNG ALIVE.

AND SHE CAN DO SO TEN TIMES A DAY OR MORE.

NOT ONLY THAT, EACH OF HER OFFSPRING

Narrator: DAVID'S TEAM HAVE SOLVED MANY OF THE TECHNICAL CHALLENGES

REQUIRED TO FILM ON A MACRO SCALE,

BUT THEY'RE NOW FACED WITH A VERY PRACTICAL PROBLEM--

GETTING THE TINY STARS OF THE SHOW

TO BEHAVE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.

TO FIND OUT WHAT'S POSSIBLE,

THE TEAM HAVE DECIDED THEIR FIRST FULL SHOOT

WILL TACKLE A NOTORIOUS PIECE OF INSECT BEHAVIOR--

MATING BETWEEN A MALE AND A FEMALE PRAYING MANTIS--

SOMETHING THAT HAS RARELY BEEN CAPTURED ON CAMERA.

THE NAME, PRAYING MANTIS,

SUGGESTS A GENTLE, RELIGIOUS NATURE.

BUT ITS APPARENT PRAYING POSTURE BELIES A RUTHLESS PREDATOR.

CREATING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS FOR THE PAIR IN THE STUDIO

IS PROVING TRICKY.

Martin French: YOU'RE DEALING WITH AN ANIMAL

THAT LIKES TO DO THIS AT DUSK,

AND WE'RE TRYING TO DO IT IN BASICALLY BRIGHT LIGHT

AT THE END OF A STICK IN FRONT OF A CAMERA.

LOTS OF MOVEMENT, LOTS OF VIBRATION.

THIS MALE IS QUITE PRONE TO FLYING, SO...

Narrator: THE CREW KNOW THAT WHEN IT COMES TO MATING,

A FEMALE MANTIS IS VERY PICKY.

Attenborough: BY AND LARGE, MALE AND FEMALE

NEED TO GET TOGETHER TO PRODUCE YOUNG.

AND ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS THAT YOU DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW

WHETHER THE ANIMAL YOU'RE SEEKING

IS WELL-DISPOSED TOWARDS YOU.

NOW, THIS DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU'RE JUST HERBIVOROUS,

A PLANT-EATING CREATURE,

BUT IF YOU'RE A HUNTER,

ONE OF THE PROBLEMS IS

IF I CAN GET CLOSE TO THAT ONE OVER THERE,

HOW DOES HE OR SHE KNOW THAT I HAVE THE RIGHT INTENTIONS?

Narrator: MARTIN IS CONCERNED THAT ONE DISTURBANCE

FROM THE CREW WILL TURN THIS FEMALE INTO A KILLING MACHINE.

French: NO, I DAREN'T.

Man: YEAH, DON'T BOTHER.

HE DOESN'T NEED ANYTHING TO PUT HIM OFF.

Narrator: NOBODY DARES BREATHE.

French: JUST SOUND AND EVERYTHING.

Alex Hemingway: IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN,

BUT INSTEAD IT'S TURNED INTO A KILL.

THAT'S NOT WHAT WE WERE AFTER.

WE THINK IT MAY HAVE BEEN AN ISSUE WITH VIBRATION,

BECAUSE THEY SENSE A LOT THROUGH FEEL.

Narrator: BUT THE MALE IS ABOUT TO SURPRISE EVERYONE

AND GIVE THE TEAM A TASTE OF QUITE HOW UNPREDICTABLE

THE INSECT WORLD CAN BE.

French: THEY'RE MATING.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE END, THE BACK END, THEY'RE MATING.

Narrator: EVEN IN THE THROES OF DEATH,

THE MALE HAS SUCCEEDED IN MATING WITH THE FEMALE.

Attenborough: QUITE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO'VE SAID,

YOU KNOW, ABOUT PRAYING MANTISES,

THEY'LL SAY, "YEAH, OH, THAT'S THE ONE WHEN THE MALE IS MATING,

HE GETS HIS HEAD CHEWED OFF."

BUT IN FACT, THE CURIOUS THING ABOUT THAT

IS THAT WE ARE NOT ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN

HOW FREQUENTLY IT HAPPENS IN THE WILD.

BUT NONETHELESS, THE FACT IS THAT IT DOES HAPPEN.

French: THERE, THAT'S THE ACTUAL CONNECTION THERE.

CAPTURE IT QUICKLY,

TO SET OUR AMBITIONS A LITTLE BIT HIGHER.

Narrator: WITH THE PRODUCTION UP AND RUNNING

IN SPECTACULAR STYLE,

THE CREW NEED TO START WORKING

THROUGH THE HUGE LIST OF BEHAVIORS DAVID HAS REQUESTED.

TO COMPLETE THE SERIES, THE TEAM WILL NEED TO FILM

MORE THAN A HUNDRED DIFFERENT SPECIES.

SO THE PRESSURE IS ON.

FOR THE MOST PART, THE BUGS BEHAVE THEMSELVES...

UNTIL THE TIME COMES TO FILM THE MAFIA OF THE INSECT WORLD--

THE COMMON AMERICAN COCKROACH--

IN A SET DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A FILTHY DOMESTIC KITCHEN.

Tim Usborne: WHAT WE'RE INTERESTED IN

IS HOW THEIR ANTENNAE ARE SO WELL DEVELOPED

THAT THEY CAN FIND THEIR WAY INTO TINY SPACES.

Narrator: THIS SHOULD BE A SIMPLE SHOOT.

THEY DON'T NEED TO FILM AT THE CLOSE-UP, MACRO LEVEL

TO CATCH THE ACTION,

SO THEY CAN MAKE DO WITH A STANDARD CAMERA RIG.

Hemingway: LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE, SHALL WE?

Usborne: THERE. THERE HE IS.

Narrator: THE CREW TRACE THE BUGS' OVERACTIVE BEHAVIOR

TO THE BRIGHT LIGHTS NEEDED TO FILM THIS LEVEL OF DETAIL.

Attenborough: ONE OF THE PROBLEMS WITH TEMPERATURE,

AS FAR AS AN INSECT IS CONCERNED,

IS THAT THE WARMER IT IS, THE MORE ACTIVE IT IS.

AND SO IF YOU GET THE LIGHTS TOO HOT,

THEY BECOME SO ACTIVE THAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL THEM.

Narrator: MARTIN THE BUG WRANGLER SUGGESTS A STRATEGY OFTEN USED--

COOLING THE BUGS DOWN.

Usborne: SO WE'RE SLOWING THEM DOWN,

SO THEY GET MUCH, MUCH COLDER,

SO THEY'RE MUCH LESS BUZZY AND PHYSICAL.

ALRIGHT, SHALL WE HAVE A GO?

Man: THREE, TWO, ONE, GO.

Narrator: THE COOLING TRICK SEEMS TO HAVE WORKED.

Man: NICE ONE.

Attenborough: WELL, THE SECRET, AS IN ALMOST EVERYTHING ELSE,

IS KNOWLEDGE.

IF YOU KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT WHY THEY BEHAVE IN THAT WAY

AND HOW THEY BEHAVE IN THAT WAY

AND WHAT STIMULATES THEM TO BEHAVE IN THAT WAY,

THEN YOU CAN CONTROL THAT AND SOMETIMES REPRODUCE IT.

Narrator: IT MAY HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE

TO TAME THE COCKROACHES,

BUT NOT ALL THE ARTHROPODS ARE SO OBLIGING.

AND DESPITE MARTIN'S EXPERT, GENTLE HANDLING,

THE BUGS STILL DON'T ALWAYS APPRECIATE THE ATTENTION.

French: EVERY TIME YOU TOUCH IT,

YOU'RE STRESSING IT TO THE POINT THAT IT DOESN'T WANT TO BEHAVE.

WHAT ABOUT IF WE MOVED IT A LITTLE CLOSER TO US?

Narrator: PATIENCE WILL BE CRUCIAL

FOR THE NEXT SEQUENCE THE TEAM HAS TO TACKLE.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT OF THE WHOLE SERIES,

AND ALSO ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT BEHAVIORS TO CAPTURE--

THE RARELY SEEN MATING DANCE BETWEEN A PAIR OF SCORPIONS.

Attenborough: WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT A MALE AND FEMALE SCORPION

WILL COME TOGETHER, AND THEY WILL LOCK PINCERS.

AND THEN THEY WILL MOVE BACK AND FORTH,

AND IT DOES LOOK VERY LIKE A COUNTRY DANCE.

Narrator: THE CREW HAVE BEEN TOLD BY EXPERTS

THAT THEIR CHANCES OF FILMING THE SCORPION'S MATING DANCE

ARE VERY SLIM.

CREATING THE RIGHT CONDITIONS IS ESSENTIAL.

SCORPIONS ONLY MATE AT NIGHT,

SO TO CREATE THE RIGHT MOOD,

THE SET IS PLUNGED INTO DARKNESS.

Man: NICE AND QUIET, PLEASE, WE'VE GOT SCORPIONS ON SET.

Narrator: FILMING THEM IN THE DARK WILL BE MADE POSSIBLE

BECAUSE SCORPIONS HAVE A VERY UNUSUAL TRICK UP THEIR SLEEVES,

WHICH CAN BE TRIGGERED WITH SPECIAL ULTRAVIOLET LIGHTS.

Usborne: SCORPIONS DO HAVE THIS ABILITY TO FLUORESCE,

AND NOBODY KNOWS QUITE WHY THEY DO THIS.

BUT IT'S ALSO AN INTERESTING WAY TO DO IT,

BECAUSE THEN BEHAVIOR IS MORE NATURAL.

THEY DON'T FEEL AS THREATENED UNDER UV LIGHTS.

FOR THEM IT FEELS LIKE NIGHTTIME,

SO THEY'RE MUCH MORE RELAXED.

Narrator: WITH THE PERFECT CONDITIONS IN PLACE

FOR SCORPION ROMANCE,

IT'S TIME TO LET NATURE TAKE ITS COURSE.

Attenborough: WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT THE MALE

PUTS A LITTLE PACKET OF SPERM ON THE GROUND

THEN TRIES TO PULL THE FEMALE OVER IT.

SO THAT ONCE SHE'S IN OVER IT

AND HER GENITAL OPENING IS ON THE TOP,

THEN SHE CAN TAKE IT IN.

IT'S AS THOUGH SHE DOESN'T KNOW WHERE IT IS,

AND HE HAS TO GUIDE HER.

AND SOMETIMES IT LOOKS AS THOUGH SHE DOESN'T WANT TO BE GUIDED.

Man: SHE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO HIM.

Narrator: SCORPION PAIR ONE

DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THE PERFECT LOVE MATCH.

Usborne: THE FEMALE BROKE AWAY AND RAN AWAY.

Narrator: A CHANGE OF MALES DOESN'T IMPROVE MATTERS.

BUT WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PATIENCE...

Man: OH, MY LORD.

Attenborough: SHE YIELDS.

Severe Weather Update: Record breaking heat NSW and Qld, 13 Feb. 2017 - Duration: 2:50.

Hello from the Bureau where we're just coming off the back of an extraordinary weekend of

high temperatures and dangerous fire conditions for New South Wales, where we saw catastrophic

fire conditions observed through many areas of the State yesterday. Let's zoom in on one

of the fires that was burning yesterday and still today, and that's that Sir Ivan fire

through the Central Tablelands in New South Wales. What you can see here is actually smoke

on the satellite, it's not cloud at this stage yesterday afternoon. But as that change

moved through the Central Tablelands it gave a kick to the fire and allowed it to create its

own thunderstorm, and that happened because we got some extra moisture at the surface and

some instability in the mid levels of the atmosphere—that's called a pyrocumulonimbus cloud.

At the site at the moment today the winds are coming from the south-southwest at 20 km/h,

gusting to around 30 km/h. The winds are expected to ease overnight before

restrengthening to around the same strength from the southeast tomorrow. Now that change is pushing

through the southern interior of Queensland and the high temperatures are becoming focussed

through the central parts of the State there. And over the coming days we're likely to see

that heat push further north, remain through the central parts and push further north, and

begin to extend back across the country into Western Australia—and that's often what we

see with heatwaves with those high temperatures recirculating around the country. Now the Bureau's

heatwave outlook service shows an area of severe to extreme heatwave—indicated in that

area around Townsville and Cairns—over the coming three days, from today until Wednesday. We're expecting

maximum temperatures around 37 or 38 degrees in many parts, which is well above average for

the tropics at this time of year. Now let's step back and take a look at some of those

interesting temperatures and some of those records broken over the past three days. On Friday we saw

the highest temperatures across southern parts of New South Wales and northern Victoria as

well. We saw a couple of locations break into the 47 degree mark on Friday, and on Saturday

the highest temperatures moved into central parts of New South Wales: Penrith saw 46.9 and

that's a record for the Penrith site and just shy of the all-time temperature recorded

for the Sydney area. On Sunday the highest temperature recorded was 47.9 degrees at

Walgett in New South Wales, but we didn't see those temperatures just restricted to

New South Wales; also in Queensland 47.2 at Thargomindah broke the all-time record February

maximum temperature for Queensland, and Toowoomba recorded above 40 for the first time since

records began. So as the hot weather continues and moves further north it's important to

stay in touch with the Bureau's app for all your weather updates and forecasts and you

can also follow us on Twitter as well.

GAS OR WHAT.

EVERYONE IS TRYING TO GET

OUT OF HERE, AND EVERYONE NEEDS

GAS.

Emergency UNSC meeting on N. Korea's missile launch held on Monday afternoon local time - Duration: 0:58.

South Korea, the United States and Japan have requested an emergency UN Security Council

meeting to discuss North Korea's ballistic missile launch.

Russia's Tass News Agency reported the closed-door meeting will be held Monday 5 p.m. local time,...

which is Thursday 7 a.m.

South Korean time.

Considering that Security Council meetings were not held frequently in response to North

Korea's previous ballistic missile launches, the North's first launch of 2017 is being

considered a grave provocation.

Existing UN Security Council resolutions on North Korea ban any kind of launches using

ballistic missile technology.

Condemnation for North Korea came from the European Union, too.

In a written statement on Sunday, the European External Action Service said North Korea must

abandon its ballistic missile programs once and for all.

It also called on Pyongyang to return to the six-party talks on its denuclearization.

N. Korea says test of new ballistic missile was successful - Duration: 2:10.

North Korea has announced that Sunday's missile launch was the first successful testing of

a new medium-to-long-range ballistic missile.

The state-run Korean Central News Agency says leader Kim Jong-un oversaw the test of the

missile, which is capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.

Leading us off today... is our Kwon Jang-ho at the Unification Ministry.

After the missile launch was detected early Sunday morning, there was confusion in Seoul

and Washington about whether it was a short-range Rodong missile or an intermediate-range Musudan

missile that had been fired.

But now North Korea's state-run media has announced that it was in fact a new intermediate-range

ballistic missile called the Pukguksong-2.

The North's Korean Central News Agency said the missile, capable of carrying a nuclear

warhead, was successfully launched using a new type of high-thrust engine built from

technology developed in the country.

It added that the missile was fired from a mobile launcher and was able to perform evasive

maneuvers during flight.

The agency said it was a chance to prove the reliability and stability of the regime's

surface launch capabilities.

The launch was also overseen by leader Kim Jong-un, who expressed satisfaction with the

test and declared the birth of a powerful new method of nuclear attack.

Kim is said to have ordered the development of the new missile after the successful test

of a submarine launched ballistic missile, the Pukguksong-1, in August.

On Monday, South Korea condemned the North's latest launch.

"North Korea has sent a message that they have no intention of folding their nuclear

ambitions and will continue their provocations.

It once again stresses the seriousness of the military and security threat we are under."

.

Sunday's launch was the first in 2017 and the first since Donald Trump was sworn in

as president.

The timing coincided with Trump's meeting with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in

the U.S. over the weekend, and analysts are widely interpreting the move as a show of

force to the two nations.

How to Make a Freestyle Applique Landscape - Duration: 17:15.

I absolutely love to make freestyle landscape quilts.

As a matter of fact it's where I got my start.

So today's tutorial I'm going to show you a bunch of basic techniques of making

your own shapes with a rotary cutter.

That's right.

Let's get started.

You probably recognize the quilt on the wall behind me from our Eagle Over Alaska tutorial.

Now that was a specific pattern.

But I want to point out some of the elements.

So just go ahead and just kind of look past the eagle and the trees and the mountains

and the rocks and everything.

I want to teach you all how to do that kind of on the freestyle.

As a matter of fact I'm even using the exact same fabrics from the Eagle over Alaska kit

so you could see what it looks like without the eagle.

And it's still available of course.

So a couple of things I want to point out.

In my stack of fabrics themselves, to make it super easy for the creative process I put

my Heat N Bond featherlite on the back of all of my elements.

So you can see my colors here.

I've got them all set up with the exception of one piece of fabric.

The background fabric here.

The blue that I'm using, I don't put it any fuse on because it would just becomes

the background of the entire project.

And the fun trick with doing that, and I want you to choose your colors specifically, even

though I won't be talking about color management today.

The blue of the water can also be the blue of the sky.

So one more trip back to the quilt just to point out what I'm talking about.

If you look back into the valley way back here, there's a little river coming through,

right?

And that river coming through here is also the water here.

And in this quilt I've used the purple for the sky.

And I have another fun sample here that I want to show you just to show you the same

exact fabrics but I also used that same purple over the blue as clouds.

So you can do all kinds of different play with using your blue background.

And that can work as your water and your sky all in the same element.

Now I've got to clear off my work station a little bit.

And we're going to get started.

And I work from the background up.

So what I want to show you first is how to make our mountains with our snowcaps.

So I'm going to use some of my black fabric.

And I don't believe I've already pointed out that these are all batiks.

And batiks are awesome for landscape because and applique because they are a higher thread

count and they do not fray nearly as much.

So one of the things I'm going to do actually is I'm going to put my white fabric which

will become the peaks of my mountains on top of my black.

And I'm just going to put a pin in here right now to hold it from shifting around.

Scotch tape is actually a great trick as well because with the Scotch tape you can cut right

through it.

And this is just to hold the black and white together.

So now what I want to do is I want to approach this the way I'm going to really cut it.

And I"m going to start over here on one end.

One of my tricks on the mountains is I always start from the edge.

And I start to head up over the top of the mountain.

And then I come back down and I start to form.

And I'm going to cut past this snow, right?

So you can start to see that that would form a snowy peak on that mountain.

And I'm going to do some pretty basic shapes today.

The more you work with this the more elaborate you can become.

Come back up in here.

And I also want to point out that none of our scraps are waste.

These can be used as another mountain in just a few seconds if we need, right?

So I"m going to set that one aside.

And I"m going to continue to keep cutting my snowcaps.

You also might be wondering, hey what is that clever tool that you have in your hand there,

Rob?

And why does it corner so well?

Well funny enough, this is called the Shark Applicutter.

And I actually invented this over the last several years to do this exact trick.

It's a 14 millimeter blade which makes it very easy for the curves and the cornering

like you just saw me do.

Now I want to set these aside also and the bottom of my snow doesn't look like the

snow behind me.

So I need to give it a little character too.

So again I"m just kind of rolling my cutter through here.

And basically my one rule of thumb when doing applique is no straight lines, ok?

No straight lines exposed I should say.

We can have straight lines that are hidden underneath.

So I'm just going to finish out my snow as I go along there.

And then I also need to trim the bottom of my mountain.

But I'm not sure where it needs to finish.

So that looks good.

Didn't that work awesome?

Ok.

So now what I also like to do is I"m going to bring it under the camera so you can see

but then we'll set it back aside over here.

While I'm building I have my base and I have something like batting or an ironing

board underneath it.

So that I can then go ahead and start to take my mountains and I can just put them in.

So what I do is I build an element and I set it into my project.

Build an element and set it into my project.

For example I've been doing a little bit of pre cutting as well.

I've also made some of these shapes that look like clouds or wonderful fog or something

that would be coming in behind the mountains here.

So let's talk about how we make those next.

So let me move this out of our way a little bit.

So I can keep developing the elements.

Sorry I just love this so much I kind of forget that you're watching me do this right now.

This is really my happy place.

Now here comes that fun purple kind of light lavender kind of like clouds.

There's a couple of easy ways to do this.

You can actually see some of my remnants from before.

The easiest cloud or wispy line to cut using a rotary cutter again is kind of an S curving

up.

And then you just take that cutter and you just roll backwards actually.

And you kind of make almost like a flame shape.

And I like to do in a couple of little loops and that makes something like that.

But that will park in behind a mountain very nicely over time.

So that straight line I created can be hidden.

The other kinds of clouds I like to do, like I said you can see the remnants of one I made

behind me.

I'll do that and I'll come across the top with a really little wispy line.

But I want a bumpy top of my cloud like yay.

But then the bottom is kind of where the vapor trails of the cloud kind of run out.

So you still want a nice soft edge that goes so you can run something like that as well

so you can see it looks more like a fun fluffy cumulous cloud.

And of course you can use combinations of the two in your landscape as well, ok?

We've got our clouds.

We've got our mountains.

We've got our snowcaps.

The next thing I like to do is I like to build a background of a mountain, a foothill.

I usually use a green fabric.

I will usually use the darker of the two if I can.

So I've got like this big green right here.

And what I'll first do is I kind of just look for what would be like my mountain scape.

One of the things that's cool about this tool is the backend works like a Hera marker.

So if I wanted to test something out I can actually use this and you probably won't

be able to see it at home.

But I could actually like score a little line on the back of this and it leaves a little

bit of, kind of a, basically what it does is it's flattening down the fiber.

And so I can see this trace line.

So then I can come in here and I can cut.

And that works really great when I already have elements on my quilt and I want to be

able to draw on the top because if you draw on the back everything is reversed due to

the free, excuse me due to the fusible web.

So now I've got this wonderful mountain scape that could fit in this way.

But what I like to do is add a little bit of character along the top and I cannot do

that with my scissors yet, or excuse me with my rotary cutter yet.

I do it with my little scissors.

And that's fun.

What you really want to do is just spin your foothill around.

And now I'm going to come in here, and I'll just do a few because this part takes quite

a while, but I love it.

I come down and I'm going to cut in what would look like little teeny tree shapes in

the background.

The best part about this is what you want to do is you want to make yourself a really

strong cup of coffee.

And then you start trying to cut a straight line and you'll get these wonderful wiggly

lines because all of the caffeine in your system and it will look like these fun little

trees up on the top of your hillside.

Now what we're really doing is we're building perspective and character into all of our

shapes.

And you just want everything to kind of look organic.

So that means nothing is ever exactly the same as what you just did before.

Ok, now this might be a little hard to see.

I'm going to lay it down on my mountain range.

Try to slide it under the camera for us but I have a feeling this is going to be a bit

of a disaster.

There.

Maybe you can see it a little bit better underneath the top cam for you.

And that forms this wonderful mountain in the background.

But I also have a little bit of this river valley that we could start to create as well.

How do you fix the river valley, Rob, you're probably saying.

I"m going to leave this here.

I'm going to work around it.

I think I can do that.

I'm just going to slide it up a little bit.

Because it's the same kind of cut.

What I do then is I bring another chunk of this back in here and I figure out how is

my river going to run with actually using the piece of fabric that I had.

So now I use that same Hera marker technique and I come up and let's say I'm going

to make my foothill like that.

Now I can lay this down like here, come back in and I can set that

right in there.

And now I have a beautiful river starting to run through my landscape.

Deep breath.

Ok.

Now the things you do in the background due to perspective are a little bit more blurry,

kind of like these eyes of mine nowadays.

They're a little bit less accurate, a little more generic is what I'm trying to say.

So those were all basic easy, easy shapes to make.

Let's start talking about some of the intricacy of our trees and our rocks and things so I'm

going to try once again to slide this over here.

You're getting the idea, I know.

I can feel you at home smiling.

Ok.

So let's talk about some trees like this first.

I generally will go to a little lighter than the background fabric that I was using.

Ok.

And then a lot of times my trees will get a little tall if I'm not careful.

So you notice I will actually take and just remove a strip of fabric so that my trees

don't get much larger than my project.

Now the trees are going to work very similar to those vapor trails and the clouds and stuff.

Often I'll start at what would be the bottom of my tree.

And then I'm going to take my cutter and I'm going to come into the fabric and then

back out.

See the triangle I just made, the little wedge shape.

Now pine trees get a little smaller as they grow so you notice that I'm taking a cut

in a little each time.

And if you cut a little bit into your applique it's ok because this all has the fusible

web on the back so you can just shape these as you need, ok?

Now I come to the other side and kind of duplicate.

And you don't have to cut each one individually.

You can certainly do it in this fun rolling motion like this.

Ok, now you have that tree.

Isn't that easy?

Now even better than that you already have half a tree made on the other side, watch

this.

Just spin this around.

And now you've got half your tree already developed.

Now you come back over here a little bit wider than the first one so that your trees look

like they were not all planted from seeds that were from the same source, right?

And now we've got another tree.

And another tree.

And these trees we start to lay into our background as well, right?

And then I'll also use some of my lighter colored trees and I'll start to build those

up into my landscape.

One of the things I do want to point out, I keep showing you the back.

The paper is still on my fusible applique shapes because it is so much easier to cut

and trim if the paper is on.

So I do not take the paper off like I have on this one until I am sure that the applique

piece is going to be just as I want it shaped, ok?

So again working from the heavens down we've got our sky.

We've got our mountains, our snow, our background hillside, our foreground trees.

Another thing I like to do is I like to do really basic rocks.

And so you can see here are a few really simple shapes of some rocks.

I think the key to doing rocks is using a couple of different shades of fabric so I

can lay them on top of each other and give them some character like you see here.

Ok you can obviously assume how easy rocks would be to do so let's grab one of these

pieces here.

But I want to show you yet another trick if I can.

So let's start with the rock itself.

So I'm just going to come and these are really rounded shapes at first.

Real easy cuts.

Now of course a rock doesn't often shape out that way so I want to take the bottom

down.

Now what I want to teach you here is let's say this rock, let's bring our landscape

back into frame here if we can.

We won't bring much of it, we don't need much.

Let's say this rock is sitting down here at the bottom.

Well a straight line is no problem for us.

But if this rock needed to sit along the water line or something like that, that straight

line is going to drive us nuts because we know that the water likes to ripple along

inanimate objects.

So the way I fix that is I take the bottom of this and I'll usually actually use my

scissors.

And I go along that straight line and then I make this cut where I go into the shape

with a little curve.

And then I come back out of the shape, ok?

And I'll probably do that again on this side or excuse me, this size of an applique

piece.

And then what happens is when I lay this along a body of water, now it looks like the water

is rippling along the side of the rocks.

So join me back at this landscape.

Let me see if I can point out a few more of these same things in a little bit more detail.

So over here with the rocks you can see that I've got a little bit of a wavy edge and

that helps give a little bit more of that watery texture there.

If you look up here in the mountains you can see that's where I've added in some of

those fun little detail pieces.

And again those were easily done with scissors.

Very simple.

Follow me to the other side of the eagle you can see they're larger.

They're more intricate because I wanted you to feel like you were getting a little

bit closer to the river body so that those trees are getting larger.

So the way you cut those perspectives is actually showing your viewer where they're standing

in the project or in the landscape itself, ok?

Some of our trees get lost in the quilt.

Some of them are very stand outish in the quilt.

And I do that on purpose not only to add energy to the project but also to balance the color.

So while I'm moving things around a lot of times I"ll put splashes of one element

of color on the opposite side of the quilt just to help bring it all back together.

Now one last thing I want to show you and that's some shadowing and highlights and

then we're going to wrap it up for the day.

But let's say you're dealing with this rock we were just playing with, right?

And it looks a little generic.

What I like to do is I like to make these kind of really jaggedy, raggedy cuts.

And sometimes you want to do it with scissors.

Sometimes you want to do it with your rotary cutter whatever you like.

And what these are going to be is like the cracks in the rocks.

And you can add moss.

You can add plants to your rocks.

And I do this in the mountains.

I do this in the trees.

I do this wherever I need to add some texture.

So now you can see that I've started to create this crack but it doesn't fit the

rock shape.

So the easiest way is to just flip this over and make it fit the rock shape as needed.

And then you can flip it right back over.

Of course I don't remember where I had it.

But somewhere in there is where it will fit, right?

So you can add in these crazy character textures by adding other colors of fabric but the most

fun way to do it is to add it in through your free motion machine quilting through opposite

colors of thread.

Through texturizing, through another technique we call thread painting.

Or even something like adding nylon netting on top of your landscape which makes the free

motion quilting even the easier.

As a matter of fact that might be something we do down the road.

So I hope you were able to pick up on some of the techniques and some of the tips I have.

I wanted to try to keep it really basic because I know once you start doing this you're

going to explode with creativity and you're going to create all kinds of fantastic shapes.

6 Scientific Ways to Be More Attractive to Men (3 is WEIRD) - Duration: 3:41.

Can science help you be more attractive to men?

The answer is YES, yes it can!

Hello, ladies!

It's Amy North here and today I'm going to talk about 6 scientific ways to be more

attractive to men.

So let's jump right into it!

1.)

Wear Red.

The University of Rochester found that women who wear red may be more attractive to men.

The study featured a number of experiments where men were to rate black and white headshots

of women on red, gray, blue, green, or white backgrounds, and the women standing in front

of the red backgrounds seemed more attractive (and more like someone they would date).

And in fact, when asked WHY these men chose the women standing in front of red backgrounds,

few suggested the background color, indicating that the reasons for picking red were completely

subconscious.

2.)

Surround yourself with friends (preferably good looking ones too).

Another study out of the University of California concluded that people look better when they're

surrounded by other people.

A group of people were shown 300 pictures of women's faces… both in pictures where

she was with friends, and pictures where she was by herself.

Results overwhelmingly showed that both men and women found women surrounded by friends

more attractive than their solo counterparts.

So the next time you go out, definitely go out in a group.

3.)

Smile!

Smiling can make women up to 5 times more attractive to a man because it stimulates

certain parts of a man's brain.

Not only that, but smiling disarms a man which puts him at ease, making it easier to converse

with him.

Also, it's been scientifically proven that men like people who like them, thus making

them more attractive.

So the next time you're flirting with a guy, don't be afraid to show him those pearly

whites and you'll be bagging 'em and tagging 'em in no time!

By the way, ladies, this isn't an exhaustive list of ways to make a man chase you and adore

you… but for that, I made a video on my website that'll help you become irresistible

to men.

To watch this video, just head over to www.CoachNorth.com.

Again that's www.CoachNorth.com!

4.)

Grow your hair out!

In a study conducted in 1995, men were shown pictures of women with long hair and short

hair, and the women with longer hair scored consistently higher in the attractiveness

department.

Not only that, but scientists have said that long, lustrous locks are a good indicator

of fertility and well-being.

So don't be afraid to grow that hair out… and don't be afraid to show it off!

5.)

Mimic his body language, but do so subtly!

According to another study, women who subtly mimicked their dates scored higher in terms

of likability.

But obviously, the key here is subtly.

Don't go out of your way trying to mime your date – he might get weirded out by

that.

Instead, try something like this…say you notice that he brushes his hair every so often…try

brushing YOUR hair a minute after he brushes his.

Once you master this little trick, he'll find himself liking for reasons he can't

easily pinpoint.

6.)

Raise your voice.

A higher pitched voice signifies youth – and it also forces men to think of you as the

delicate, more fairer sex.

Studies have shown that to men want to 'protect' women that seem delicate and fair… and triggering

these protective instincts will make him more attracted to you.

So the next time you're out with a guy, don't be afraid to be a little bubbly and

heighten the sound of your voice!

So that's all I have for you today, ladies… if you have any questions, don't be afraid

to shoot me some in the comments section below.

Also, if you want to learn more about how to make a guy chase you, fall in love with

you, and commit to you, then just head over to my website at www.CoachNorth.com.

Talk to you soon!
