They're prickly.

Restless.

Rambling.

But if most plants are perfectly content to stay in one place, why does the tumbleweed

hit the open road?

Tumbleweeds start out as tiny seedlings.

They sprout in late winter.

By summer the plant takes on its round shape.

They grow flowers nestled between thorny leaves.

Inside each flower, a fruit with a single seed develops.

This fruit is different than something delicious like cherries.

Lucky for the cherry tree, a bird will carry the fruit away in its belly and disperse its

seeds.

But the tumbleweed takes matters into its own hands.

Come fall, the plant dries out and dies.

The seeds are still in there.

Gusts of wind easily break the dead tumbleweed from its roots.

See where it was attached?

It looks kind of like bones.

A special layer of cells at the base of the plant makes this clean break possible.

Then the skeleton is off, shaking loose tens of thousands of seeds as it goes.

It turns out, some living things spread their seeds better when they're dead.

Like cowboys in a Western, tumbleweeds head out on the open range.

But these icons of the American West actually come from the east, all the way from Ukraine.

They're a common weed in Russia too.

That's why they're called Russian thistle.

They might have hitched a ride here in the eighteen hundreds hidden among flax seeds.

Nowadays, they might amble onto the freeway and make you swerve.

Or get tangled up in your irrigation system.

They could even roll into your neighborhood, pile up and become a fire hazard.

But a green lawn isn't what the tumbleweed is looking for.

It can't compete with plants like grass.

It needs a barren place like this abandoned onion field north of Los Angeles.

With each bounce the tumbleweed sends its seeds flying.

It spreads them out so they all get plenty of sunlight and space.

The coiled-up embryo inside just needs a little water to sprout.

And soon enough, this plant will strike out on its own.

How to Script YouTube Videos (for HIGH ENGAGEMENT) - Duration: 6:25.

Sunny Lenarduzzi: You want to get 39,000 comments on your next YouTube video?

Keep watching.

Welcome to the Sunny Show.

Did I hook you?

Hey, boss.

It's Sunny Lenarduzzi, and now, this is step one to writing a script that gets high engagement.

When you get high engagement on YouTube, you get more retention, which means you're going

to get higher rankings and more views to suggested and through search.

How do you write a whole script that's going to give you massive amounts of engagement?

We're going to talk about that today.

I'm going to take you step-by-step through it.

Step number one is the hot intro, so hook, outcome, testimonial.

That's what the hot intro stands for.

Hook is obviously getting the viewers' attention right off the bat to make them want to stay

tuned in.

Outcome is telling them exactly what they're going to get out of your video by the end

of watching it, again, making them want to stay tuned in to the whole thing, and testimonial

is if you are an entrepreneur or you are some sort of expert of any kind, giving people

a reason to believe you and trust you, i.e., I've worked with thousands of people in the

fitness space or in the YouTube space, something like that, some sort of testimonial.

That's hook, outcome, testimonial, the whole hot intro, but if you were just starting,

and you don't want to deal with the outcome and testimonial pieces, just make sure you

don't miss the hook because the hook is what's going to get your viewers' attention immediately

and make them want to watch your entire video.

The hook is vital.

Let's say I'm doing a vlog on traveling around Canada.

I'm going to hook my viewers by doing something like this.

Video: Oh, my God.

Did you just see that whale?

SunnyLenarduzzi: Really, the easiest way to do this is either by starting off with something

that's going to make them go, "Oh, my gosh, I have to watch this," kind of what I did

at the beginning of this video or starting with the most exciting piece of footage and

working backwards to tell the story of how you got to that moment because then, people

know something really exciting is coming and you're going to lead them all the way back

there by the end of the video.

Makes sense?

Cool.

Step number two of writing a high engagement script for YouTube is asking for what you

want.

You want people to subscribe, and you also want people to hit the little bell to be notified

when you go live when you post new videos, whatever else it might be.

You want to build your tribe.

The only way to do that is to remember that not everybody uses YouTube on a daily basis

so you got to tell them what to do, so at the beginning of your video after you've hooked

people, ask them to subscribe to your channel.

Step number three is the meat.

Think of it as a sandwich.

If a sandwich was just two pieces of bread, it's pretty boring, so the meat is really

important, and you want to get into it as quickly as possible.

Whether it's a blog and you get into the storytelling piece of it or it's a tutorial and you get

into the sequential steps, the meat matters, and the sooner that you can get into the meat

of your video, the more people are going to be engaged in your content and wanting to

watch all the way through.

Step number four is middle engagement, so keep your questions simple because again,

not everybody uses YouTube every single day.

You need to warm people up.

You get them over that hump of actually leaving a comment on YouTube.

What I like to do and how I rack up thousands of comments on my videos, I ask something

really simple.

For example, in this video I'm going to ask you right now, is the scripting process making

sense?

If it is, write boss in the comments below.

I know a few of you are going to go do that, which thank you for doing it, and if you've

written boss, then it makes me more comfortable to write more comments throughout the entire

video.

You've asked them to subscribe at the beginning, that's one piece of engagement.

Then, you're asking them a question in the middle to keep them drawn into you and keep

them engaged in your content.

Plus, up your engagement by getting more comments on your videos, so if you're craving comments,

this is a simple thing to do in your scripts to make sure that people are actually going

to comment on your content.

Step five is your outro engagement.

You want to make sure that before people leave their video, they are engaging with you.

There's a couple of things that you can do.

One, you want to ask them to like it if they liked it, dislike it if they didn't because

a dislike is still a piece of engagement, and it gets people interacting with your content

and probably coming back for more.

Ask them to subscribe once more if they enjoyed the content, and tell them there's a new content

coming up so they have something to look forward to.

Ask them to share it with someone that you know it would be beneficial to.

Another way to increase your engagement through your script is to ask a question, and then

include that question in the cards in your video.

Right now, we're going to add a card that says, "Are you going to use the scripting

formula?

Yes or no?"

Again, this isn't a monologue.

Boring YouTube videos are people talking at you.

Great YouTube videos with super high engagement have scripts that engage you and make you

feel like you're having a conversation and a dialogue.

Step number six, ask your viewers out.

Might sound a little forward, but it works.

You want to ask your viewers to join you somewhere else because what happens is someone finds

your video on YouTube, they think it's really entertaining, they think it's really great

obviously because you're great, but then, they forget about you.

There's too much content online, so what you need to do is make sure that you're sending

them somewhere where you can further build a relationship.

Of course, you're going to chat back with them in the comments, but also send them to

a Facebook group, to your email list, to your website, to your other social platforms, and

build those using YouTube.

Please just don't forget to send them somewhere because your viewers want to follow you and

build a relationship with you.

Step one is you need to take the first step, and ask them out.

If you're serious about killing it on YouTube, don't forget to grab my zero to a hundred

thousand subscribers guide.

I walk you through and reverse-engineer how one of my clients went from zero to … She's

actually now at 200,000 subscribers in less than 10 months.

Everything you need to know is in there.

You can grab it at the link below this video, and I know it's going to help you so much.

Did this video help you?

Are you going to use the scripting process?

Let me know in the comments below.

I can't wait to chat with you there after the video, and I will see you in the next

one.

Hydroponic Ficus Bonsai Collection - Subtitles Available - Duration: 7:29.

Let me show you my kitchen balcony.

That is the washing machine & these are the plants kept here.

So this looks like a miniature glasshouse.

I have covered the grills with plastic sheet.

So, very little wind circulation happens.

There is some gap over there & over there.

So, it is kind of protected from the hot winds of the summer and when I spray water also,

it stays humid, compared to the main balcony which is exposed to the sun.

So here, by afternoon the sunlight is over and you have indirect lighting only.

All my cuttings and repotted plants come here, they recover here and most of these are growing

in water.

So you can call it a hydroponic garden.

Almost all of them are in water, except for this but he is again sitting in a pool of water.

I will now show you a very unique specimen in my collection.

This is Ficus Religiosa.

It is quite big, the trunk is quite thick and this is the pot.

Let me reveal to you what is the condition of the pot.

So there is no soil, it is growing purely in water and this was a tiny cutting.

I will tell you the story of this in a separate video.

This is just a general update video.

So I'll show you how I clean this and I will replace the water.

This paper is for covering the top.

I don't want light to go inside the water tank and this is just a plastic lid, with

a cut here so it accommodates the trunk.

And this is not very strong on its own because this keeps swaying in the wind.

So I usually rest the trunk against the wall or something else.

And this is how it looks - this is just a plastic tray where i think I got cookies in

this, biscuits.

The newspaper protects light from entering the sides.

So this way I am able to keep the water inside clean, there is no algae growth at all.

So the light is blocked from top as well as the sides.

Now I will show you the weekly cleaning of this.

I have kept a flat stone and another piece of a tile so that when this is kept, the main

trunk area is above the water line.

So this is not submerged, else the wood starts getting a decaying smell, and all kinds of

problems start.

So I always make sure that this was above water with the rocks and this is how the roots

are looking now.

Before moving into this, it was in a smaller container but filled with water

and now the main trunk is quite thick, it was probably as thin as this when I started.

This is liquid NPK, which I made from powder, by dissolving powder in water.

I have a separate video where I show how it is made.

You can find the link in the description below and this here is half litre of plain tap water.

I have taken one cap full of this liquid.

Then I mix into this and this will serve as my water reservoir.

I don't fill up the tank completely, I just fill it to the half level.

I want some roots to stick out of the water.

So here goes my plant back into the tank.

I am just making sure that any stray roots are completely submerged in water.

Now, just put the lid back.

It is not an airtight setup, just a lose thing.

So there is air circulation happening and notice that the roots are not fully submerged.

This much water in this glasshouse setup is enough for the whole day.

By tomorrow morning I will have to refill this again and this also happening because

of so many large leaves.

So if the water consumption is high, I sometimes prune this, reduce the leaves from the bottom

side and keep only few at the top, so that way I can control how much water is consumed.

And now for the lid.

This is covered from top and the sides.

There is no algae formation in the water and the trunk is resting against this.

And this area is kind of protected.

so there's not much wind, just a gentle breeze which leaks through.

That is good enough for what we are doing here.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze - REVIEW (Nintendo Switch) - Duration: 8:14.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is back but this time on the Nintendo Switch and with

an optional Funky twist.

So here's the deal Tropical Freeze is still very much the same game it was back in 2014

on the Wii U.

Which is to say, it's freaking amazing.

Look, I'm not going to beat around the banana bunch here--this was, and continues to be,

one of the best platformers ever made.

I replayed the entire game in "Original" mode for the purpose of this review and had

just as much fun my second time through as I did my first.

I won't go into all of it here--you can watch my original review of the Wii U version

for the full breakdown--but here's a quick recap.

Tropical Freeze is simply a marvel of 2D platformer game design--as if the entire history of the

sidescrolling genre has been leading up to this one moment.

And that's largely due to two things: Absolutely amazing level design and fantastic controls.

I've never played a side scrolling game this creative while also playing this well.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Retro somehow made swimming as a giant ape

feel elegant

What really makes Tropical Freeze stand out is how intricate each and every level feels,

consisting of myriad moving parks.

Each level feels like a miniature trip to Disneyland, with incredible detail befitting

the world's theme, while featuring a truly wonderful kinetic energy, making, bringing

the world alive in a way that even 2D Mario can only dream of.

Dancing trees swing platforms around.

An octopus closes off paths while in pursuit.

Even a saw blade carves a path of flying wood in front of your very eyes.

The amount of creativity is staggering--especially when you consider that, for as truly crazy

things can get, it still somehow feels incredibly grounded.

You won't find any magical floating platforms here.

Everything has a reason for being where it is and and acting the way it does--the shelves

in the fruit factory spin around only as a result of fruit rolling into them.

Platforms drip slowly down honey waterfalls.

And It's this incredible devotion to thematic consistency that elevates Tropical Freeze

above its contemporaries--or is that Kongtempries?

Even the floating platforms here are only floating because you're trapped inside a

giant tornado--which is a visual splendor in its own right.

And speaking of visual splendor, the bright colorful visuals are still a joy to behold--with

the silhouette levels still being particularly striking.

Especially now that Tropical Freeze looks ever so slightly better on the Nintendo Switch

thanks to the upgrade to native 1080p when docked from the originals 720p--it looks sharp

and made me appreciate the finer details even more.

And of course, it's impossible to talk about Tropical Freeze without mentioning the absolutely

brilliant soundtrack by original DKC composer, David Wise.

This is one of the finest collections of tracks I've ever heard in a Nintendo game--with

several actually getting me worked up a bit emotionally--all over a giant ape who just

wants to get home.

The track for Seashore War is stilll haunting--and conveys the true weight of the adventure that

DK and crew have undertaken.

But for as much praise as I have for the game, I'm possibly even more annoyed now my second

time through by the bonus rooms, which are uninspired and incredibly repetitive.

Although they layout does change--purportedly--they all feel the same.

And they bring the otherwise sublime action to a grinding halt.

Breaking up the level's flow and interrupting the generally fantastic music with...this.

Gaah.

It's for these reasons that I still recommend you skip them your first time through--especially

because they thankfully only unlock small bonuses like concept art.

Oh, and the entire adventure is still tough as nails--remember, this is the game that

Nintendo even dedicated an entire trailer to just how difficult it can be.

And even though this was my 2nd time through, there were parts where that I still lost a

dozen or more lives--and yet, I never found it unfair or frustrating.

But then again, not everyone has 30 years of platforming experience, and it's perhaps

for that very reason that Tropical Freeze on Nintendo Switch introduces Funky Mode--which

offers a much more accessible way of playing--in fact, it's now the default option!

As you might expect, Funky Mode puts you in control of Funky Kong who's basically a

God by Donkey Kong standards.

He gets 5 hearts instead of the usual 4, can double-jump, hover in the air, stand on spikes,

and breath underwater!

Seriously, why hasn't this guy been the main hero the entire time?

On top of this, Funky mode also allows you to use items mid-level--such as ones that

rescue you from bottomless pits--as well as saving any KONG letters you find, as you find

them, meaning you don't have to collect them all in one go.

It's almost a little absurd just how strong and agile Funky Kong is, allowing you to skip

entire platforms or even sections of a level that Donkey Kong would have had to traversed.

But it's for that exact reason that Funky Kong definitely lives up to the "fun"

part of his name--allowing you to play through these levels relatively worry-free and in

entirely new ways never envisioned by the original developers--which is pretty cool--and

I can imagine being particularly fun for speed runs.

But at the same time, you're playing through the game in a way not envisioned by the original

creators.

As I've already touched on, with the level design in Tropical Freeze is second to none,

tearing through them with near complete disregard of the original intent almost feels a little

insulting.

So I still firmly believe Tropical Freeze is best experienced as originally intended--with

Donkey Kong in order to truly appreciate the full effect of each level--at least for your

first playthrough.

Which is why it's fantastic that that you can still play as DK--along with his partners

in Funky Mode--allowing you to ditch Funky's god-like powers, while still retaining the

other benefits , like an extra heart and mid-level item usage--essentially turning it into a

glorified easy mode.

This maintains the integrity of the original level design, while making it far more accessible

to different skill-ranges.

Outside of Funky Mode though, not much else has changed.

Sure, the graphics are a little sharper, and loading times have been significantly reduced--oh

and DK dies have a cute new idle animation where he plays Nintendo Switch--buuut that's

about it.

Which raises the question: is it worth picking up if you already own Tropical Freeze on Wii

To which I would answer that, unless you found the original just too dang difficult, I'd

have a hard time recommending the game at full price for returning players, as the content

is otherwise identical to the Wii U version.

So unless you really just really want to re-experience it with slightly sharper graphics with Funky

Kong, rest easy knowing that you're not missing anything significant by not buying

it again.

However, if you haven't yet experienced Tropical Freeze for the first time--then it

is absolutely worth the price of admission.

Tropical Freeze is a game I absolutely love, and this is the definitive version--even if

it's just by a few of Funky's hairs.

Tropical Freeze isn't just one of the finest platforming experience on the Nintendo Switch--but

ever.

And with that, thanks for watching.

And make sure to stay tuned to GameXplain for more on DKC: Tropical Freeze and everything

Harley-Davidson Sportster: Merging The Modern With The Timeless - Duration: 9:32.

I used to have a media agency...

in graphic event production.

Then I decided...

to hell with the lot of it, I was going to reinvent myself.

Reinvent my life, my understanding of how to earn a living.

Age, 38.

Full name, Efraon Triana López.

"How did I get here?" I'm not sure.

I feel like I've had a range of different professions in my life.

I've been a chef, I've worked in advertising...

I've always considered myself a craftsman, so I decided to focus on my craft.

There's one motorbike that sets the benchmark for me.

That's the Sportster 1957.

They had to respond to a stream of British motorbikes that were faster,

cheaper, more agile than the Harley Big Twin from the 50s.

That bike really stands out for me, it's just beautiful.

There's a logic to it.

It's what kids draw if you ask them to draw a bike, without even knowing it.

Suddenly I thought, "Wow, it's 60 years since the Sportster came out, in 1957.

I wish I could go to a Harley dealership and buy myself one.

Today, with that same look, those colors, that same philosophy."

But that's impossible.

Then one day-- It was my girlfriend's idea, not mine.

She said, "Why don't you do it yourself?" And I thought, "Yeah, you're right."

I went and bought that year's Sportstar and...

I sat down in front of the bike and said, "I can do this."

With that very bike, without compromising the usability,

the technical specs of a modern motorbike--

I love ABS, I love the fuel injection,

the comfort and usability of the brakes,

and the handling of a vehicle from 2017...

With this little toy, I can make it look like the 57 model,

bringing together the best of both worlds in one bike:

the 1950s design, and the look of riding a classic bike,

with the performance of a vehicle built to modern production standards.

This year's bike is a lot bigger in general.

Proportionally, it's about 20% larger than the original.

So it wasn't as easy as buying an after-market period reproduction,

and sticking it on a modern bike. Anyone can do that.

The plan, the idea--

My intention was to make a bike that could've just come from the dealership.

To do that, the wings had to fit the proportions of the bike.

The same goes for the tires and the rims.

Everything has to work in harmony.

An orchestra works because each instrument does its job,

like a soloist. Well, this is the same. Not everyone can be the soloist.

Each part must do the job it's designed for.

When you get the bike with the right wheels, the wings, the fuel tank and it all starts

to come together and look like the '57 model, you take heart, it feels great.

I can feel...

the Harley magic. There is a lot of talk about it, this magic,

but it really does exist.

And I've been lucky enough to ride the best brands around,

but over the years I've come back to Harley,

because it really does have something special.

There have been iconic bikes, the Triumph Bonneville, Ducati Scrambler--

Every brand has made its own interpretation of that icon...

but, in my opinion,

they don't replicate the look.

Perhaps because of production costs, standards, but they don't get the look

that the brand's clients, the fans of that icon, just love.

We've made 100 bikes and that gives you the time to learn by yourself,

how or how not to do things,

and I come back to the idea of making a bike for an individual.

Because we often confuse customizing bikes,

or a vehicle to your tastes and customizing it to your client's tastes.

You have to know your client and know what they want even if they don't.

I've gone back to a more romantic perspective of the story,

I like to be on my own with my music, with my projects, my creations,

and just let my creativity flow.

In my case, that only happens if I'm alone and absolutely focused.

My social networks tagline says, "Only good things happen at Ufo Garage,

only good people come by," because that's what I want to convey.

I want this to be a community. If I wanted a normal job, I'd have it by now.

9 Secret Rooms Found Inside Landmarks - Duration: 12:39.

Often hidden in plain sight, these spaces add a degree of mystery to some of the world's

best known monuments.

Here are 9 secret rooms found inside landmarks.

Number 9 Crystal Palace Subway Tourists might not know that beneath a section

of London's A212 lies a beautifully designed Victorian gem.

Built over 150 years ago, the Crystal Palace Subway in south London has been closed to

passengers since 1954.

The underground heritage site features pillars from white and orange bricks and a spectacular

vaulted walkway entrance.

In the past the station brought passengers to the Crystal Palace, once one of the world's

largest glass structures until it was employed by a file in 1936.

During world wall too, the space was used as an air raid shelter.

In 1961, the inside of the station was demolished leaving behind only the walkway.

Despite its underground location, the Victorian gem is a source of pride for Londoners aware

of its existence.

The Friends of Crystal Palace group has raised thousands of pounds and secured planning permits

to secure the vaulted structure being re-opened for public viewing.

Number 8 Empire State Building's Viewing Platform

Those visiting New York City's Empire State Building can enjoy a stunning view of Manhattan

through the say see fence of the observation deck located on the 86th floor.

Some go even higher to the 102nd floor and marvel at the Big Apple from behind sturdy

windows.

Yet there's a secret observation deck located on the 103rd floor, only accessible to a select

few, which may prove a challenge even to people not sure and of heights.

The balcony features a low railing that sits upon a knee-high ledge offering little perfection

against the verifying drop.

According to those who have visited the 103rd floor of the iconic building, the winds are

also extremely strong, and you feel like you're going to be lifted off the building.

To get to the tiny deck you have take several elevators and travel past the building's

inner workings, such as pipes and electricity boxes, with the final push to the summit being

done via a steep metal ladder.

Unfortunately for any would-be there then will, the 103rd floor isn't open to the

general public.

The vertigo-inducing balcony is an exclusive space, mostly visited by celebrities such

as Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift.

Number 7 Hall of Records South Dakota's Mount Rushmore is undoubtedly

among the United States' most famous landmarks.

Standing 5,725 feet above sea level and featuring 60-foot sculptures of the heads of George

Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.

Sculptor Gutzon Borglum designed the monument and oversaw its ey confusion from 1927 to

1941, aided by his son, Lincoln Borglum.

Borglum had a much larger vision for Mount Rushmore and wanted the massive sculpture

to include significant moments in American history and the presidents to be depicted

from head to waist.

Lack of funding coupled with Borglum's breath in 1941, eventually brought construction to

a halt.

Before his passing, Borglum designed and started work on a secret room situated behind Abraham

Lincoln's head.

It was called the Hall of Records and its purpose was to tell the history of the United

States to future generations.

After Borglum's breath, work on the hall would stagnate until the late 1990s when it

was finally completed.

Unfortunately, tourists aren't currently allowed to visit the mysterious room because

its location makes it too difficult to reach.

Number 6 Fleece Station in Trafalgar Square Hidden in plain sight in London's Trafalgar

Square is Britain's smallest fleece station.

1926 was a difficult year for fleece in the capital.

Constant like action meant that officers had to be on their toes at all times.

They needed a stake-out point that would enable them to observe the crowds that gathered in

the square.

They created a fleece station, large enough to hold two visitors at a time, by hollowing

out an ornamental lamp post.

The small station had a phone line, directly connected to Scotland Yard.

Whenever it was used, the outside lamp would blink thereby alerting controlling offices

that an uncertainty situation was unfolding.

Number 5 Leonardo da Vinci's Statue A massive 60-foot bronze statue of Leonardo

da Vinci welcomes fliers to Rome's Fiumicino Airport.

While renovating the monument in 2008, workers were stunned to find it had been keeping a

secret for 46 years.

Half way up the structure, they discovered a latch which opened a secret compartment.

Inside it, they found two parchments.

One listed the attendees to the unveiling of the statue while the other, written in

Latin, described the area's history going back to ancient times.

The discovery was in keeping with the Renaissance polymath's well-known fascination for puzzles

and mysteries.

Number 4 Statue of Liberty's Torch A gift from the people of France to the people

of the United States, the Statue of Liberty towers over Liberty Island in New York Harbor.

The copper colossus measures roughly 151 feet from the base to the torch and was built by

with a design provided by French sculptor.

Those who visit the Liberty today will find that they can't climb higher than the crown.

Up until June 30, 1916, that wasn't the case.

Visitors could go to a room in the statue's torch and treat themselves to a panoramic

view of the city.

When German agents blew up a pier between Black Tom Island and Jersey City, the involve

and sent debris into the statue's arm thus compromising the route to the torch's inner

room.

Number 3 Corridor in Florence In Florence there's a passage-way measuring

over half a mile that stretches across Ponte Vecchio, connecting the Pitti Palace to the

Uffizi Gallery.

Dating back to 1565 it was commissioned by Duke Cosimo I de' Medici to celebrate the

wedding of his son Francesco to Joanna of Austria.

It's known as the Vasari Corridor, after Giorgio Vasari it's designer.

The meat market beneath the passage way was replaced by jewelry stores, to make the daily

journeys of the noble family more pleasant.

The lavishly-decorated corridor would enable the Grand Duke and other members of his family

to move freely between their residence and the government offices.

It also offered pro tech knot for as most monarchs of the time, didn't feel sail in

public.

This was particularly true for Cosimo I as Florence's transition from a republic to

a duchy had caused dissatisfaction among certain factions.

The Vasari corridor would eventually be closed down following private ownership of the gallery

and a bowling incident.

Nevertheless, renovation plans began in the 2010s aimed at restoring the Corridor to its

former glory, opening up this once exclusive passage to the public.

Number 2 Michelangelo's Secret Room In 1975, at the Basilico di San Lorenzo in

Florence, a discovery was made that would thrill those enamored with Renaissance art.

Paolo Dal Poggeto, director of the Medici Chapels museum at the time, was trying to

establish a new exit route for visitors when he found a trapdoor hidden under a wardrobe

in the Medici tall room.

Dal Poggeto opened the trapdoor and discovered a rectangular room hidden beneath the Medici

Chapel which had been used to store coal.

The room was cleared and cleaned.

When the coal dust, mud and mold faded away, drawings, graffiti, words and calculations

began to emerge.

Historians believe that Michelangelo hid in the narrow room for around two months in 1530

after joining a real world against his pay tons, the Medici.

The artist, who was around 55 years old at the time, is believed to have spent this time

covering the chamber's walls in chalk and charcoal sketches.

He was later allowed by the Medici to continue his work on the monuments located in the very

chapel under which, he'd been finding.

There's debate among scholars as to which and how many of the drawing were actually

authored by Michelangelo.

Some reflect his hand and resemble some of his other works while others aren't considered

good enough to have been done by him.

The room remained sealed as it was considered too fragile for public visits.

To mark the 450th anniversary of Michelangelo's breath, a virtual tour of the room was created

in 2014.

Number 1 Gustave Eiffel's Apartment Without a doubt the top of Paris' Eiffel

Tower is the best place that tourists can visit in order to take in the panoramic wonders

of the French capital.

For more than 40 years since its completion in 1889, the massive iron clad tower would

be the World's tallest man-made structure.

Initially, there was a huge backlash from the artistic community as they felt that the

'monstrous' monument would there mate the city and cast a shadow over other notable

Parisian landmarks such as the Arc de Triumphe, the Louvre or the Notre Dame.

Nevertheless, Gustave Eiffel completed his design and the tower would become a French

symbol as well as one of the world's, best known landmarks and one of the most visited

paid-monuments.

When designing the massive structure, Eiffel also made a small addition to the blueprint

that would lead to him being among Paris' most enviable people.

Visitors only experience the breathtaking view from the top of the Eiffel Tower for

several minutes, but, if he wanted to, Gustave Eiffel could wake up to it every day.

This is because, at the very top, he included a private apartment for himself.

A far cry from the cold and intimidating appearance of the tower, the cozy apartment features

oil paintings, paisley wallpaper and wooden furniture.

Parisians would reportedly offer Eiffel small fortunes to rent the apartment for just one

night, but he always refused.

He was famously rigorous of his visitors and only rarely entertained guests of the highest

prestige such as Thomas Edison.

Only years after Gustave Eiffel's kissing, would the 1,000-foot high space be open to

the general public for viewings.

Adpocalypse 2018 | Why Can't YouTube Fix It? - Duration: 7:55.

I posted an article on my tumblr last week from CNN Tech about how YouTube may

be facing the adpocalypse part 2? 3? Eleventy? because it's still running ads against

extremist videos "ads from over 300 companies and organizations including

tech giants major retailers newspapers and government agencies ran on YouTube

channels promoting white nationalists Nazis pedophilia conspiracy theories and

North Korean propaganda" so how did this happen? again? and why can't youtube stop

it? well let's look at some of the things they've done since last time one of

YouTube's previous responses through the whole adpocalypse mess was to restrict

channels with fewer than 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch

time from being able to monetize and also requiring that you keep your watch

time above a certain level to stay monetized to say that this was not a

popular move among small creators would be something of an understatement

but it does at least partially solve the problem of people starting up YouTube

channels immediately monetizing them and then proceeding to post videos about how Hitler

is a really nice person who likes dogs or how Daesh is awesome. one of the

other methods that YouTube has brought in to make sure that all of the videos

it runs ads against are brand safe is its Demonetization algorithm the

algorithm scans videos as they're uploaded to the site for potentially

inappropriate content and may demonetize them on that basis. and YouTube brought

this feature in without really announcing or explaining it but

YouTube's failures of communication are not the topic of this video. Now it's

true that if your video is Demonetized by this algorithm you can appeal it but

it may or may not work the odds that you'll actually get your video seen by a

human are relatively low unless you're already a large channel and if your

video is demonetized it's almost certainly going to be during your first

day or two which is when you'd expect the highest number of views and thus the

highest ad revenue because all of your subscribers are coming to check it out

so for creators not helpful however the advantage of the algorithm is that it

learns so the more we submit appeals the more it can learn whether or not that's

actually unsafe content or inappropriate content or whether it's actually okay

and hopefully that means there will be fewer false positives in future which

may not be good news for you of everything you do is deemed brand

unsafe by YouTube but does at least that the more obvious bad actors are

probably going to get caught. so there is some utility to it but why do you need

an algorithm at all is it just that youtube are unwilling to put in the money

to hand check every dodgy video well I don't know if they're unwilling to spend

money but given the demands of the platform they would be physically unable

to keep up with all of the videos on here because so much content is uploaded

to YouTube every day I looked up some estimates which run from 300 to 500

hours of content being uploaded to YouTube every minute even if only a

fraction of a fraction of those videos were going to cause problems that is a

higher workload than any human moderation team can handle so you need

the algorithm but by the same token you can't rely solely on the algorithm

humanity is a creative species if we perceive an obstacle we are ingenious at

figuring out ways around it and people are willing to put in a whole lot of

work to do so I mean those Nigerian prince scams don't write themselves now

do they? so say you want to start a channel which you know that YouTube

would immediately want to crack down on you know neo-nazis

pedophilia North Korean propaganda I mean you could just put up your videos

which are obviously about neo-nazis or Daesh or whatever and you could tag them

with neo-nazi or Daesh or whatever but YouTube reads your title and your

description and your tags it looks at your thumbnail for inappropriate content

like gore or weapons and it listens to your audio so it can generate automatic

captions what I'm saying is if your video is obviously about a topic that

YouTube has deemed unsafe or inappropriate it's not gonna happen

they might not ban you and delete your account but they won't monetize you but

if you had time and you were willing to play the long game and as we have seen

from the Russian tumblr bots thing governments are, then you can make a lot

of videos most of which are fairly innocuous and then when you want to

sneak your not so innocuous videos past YouTube you have this whole backlog

of appropriate content plus you can scrupulously avoid using any of the

words which might ping the algorithm in the video itself. There was a good

example of this from Facebook actually. there was a group on Facebook called

Britain first which got banned after coming to global attention having been

shared by Donald Trump the reason that Facebook ban

is for inciting hatred by posting videos like "Muslim migrant (who wasn't actually

a Muslim migrant at all) beats up Dutch boy on crutches!" at the time that they

were banned though Britain first had more than 2 million likes on Facebook

how does a page which posts videos comparing Muslims to animals get more

than 2 million likes well because Facebook doesn't show you

everything a page does right and while Britain first posted the occasional

video which should have gotten them an insta ban mostly they posted really

innocuous stuff we love this british sports star like if you do too! share if

you love your military family! give this post a thumbs up if you're proud of our

veterans! look at this cute picture of a dog! okay I'm not sure about that last

one but and then every so often they'd put up something like Muslim migrant who

isn't actually a Muslim migrant beats up Dutch boy on crutches but Facebook being

Facebook only shows a fraction of the people who follow a page each post that

the page puts up it would be entirely possible to be a follower of Britain

first for years particularly if you don't use Facebook all that often and to

have seen nothing from them but cute pictures of dogs and poppy wreaths

Facebook knows what you like remember

so to bring this back to youtube they can crack down but it's really hard. when

something comes to mass media attention obviously they'll remove it but there

are thousands and thousands of channels which are basically akin to the Britain

first Facebook page and they're not being taken down because they're just not

getting flagged that often keeping bad actors off your platform when you're the

size of YouTube is not hard it's pretty much impossible but you can cut down on

the numbers of bad actors. and so you have the algorithms because you can't

possibly manage the quantity of content on YouTube without them and on top of

that you have your moderation team because people are smart and will figure

out ways around your algorithm.s but the moderation team needs someone to tell

them about the bad actors they need people to report the animal abuse and

the pornography and the beheadings unfortunately that's a difficult thing

to incentivize well because what you actually want is for good people with

good intentions to flag videos which are actually inappropriate while

discouraging bad people with bad intentions from flagging things because

they don't like it YouTube Heroes which you might remember as one of YouTube's

2016 controversies was supposed to be YouTube's way of getting the people who

use the site to provide them with free labor ie we will gamify the system by

giving you points for doing this grunt work and as you get higher up the ranks

we will give you things like a small amount of power over others mwahaha

which was possibly not the best idea in the world given that it actively

incentivized flagging videos I mean if YouTube agrees with your flag and takes

a video down you get a point but if YouTube disagrees then nothing happens

so why not try it? so this is the problem why can't youtube just find all of the

bad actor channels and delete them? because people are smart even bad people

and so it's basically an arms race. but what do you think? how do you reckon that

YouTube should solve its problems? the ad problem or the terrorist content problem

or any of its many other problems leave a comment let me know and I'll see you

next time!

The Truth of Who You Really Are - Duration: 10:49.

The Truth of Who You Really Are

by Cristina Valenzuela

I Am, Therefore I Think: The Truth of Who You Really Are

I think, therefore I am. ~ Ren� Descartes

What goes through your mind when you read the famous statement above written by the

great philosopher Descartes? You might feel curious, thoughtful, reverent. You might be

in absolute agreement, or you might be completely confused!

If you�re like me, you might somehow feel that there is much more to this statement

than reducing all human existence and our individual sense of �self� to our ability

of forming thoughts. In my understanding, this declaration by Descartes is only one

half of the equation, for the next logical step would be to inquire: Who is using the

mind to create these thoughts and then shape them into ideas and judgments? Who is the

�self� experiencing these thoughts? And if thoughts were to cease momentarily, would

�I� stop existing?

In our journey of Self-Exploration the very first step in the understanding of our �selves�

is the process of self-inquiry. To be authentic and to be true to ourselves, first we must

find out which �self� we are referring to. For example, is your true self the one

that gets angry at your boss? Is it the impatient one in the traffic? Perhaps your true self

is the one that is loving and kind with your family? Or the one that gets depressed at

the state of the world?

Are you all of these parts of your �self� combined? Are you none of them? Who are �you�?

The concept of the �self� might turn out to be a bit more elusive than we initially

presumed. In this article, we will attempt to explore a variety of different angles that

reveal who we believe our �selves� to be, and reflect back only that which remains.

WHO ARE YOU?

This is a simple question, and yet it is at the very core of all self-understanding. This

question turns your attention from the external world to the internal world. For example:

Who is the one who hears what you hear? Who is the one who experiences your thoughts?

Your emotions? Your senses?

If I were to ask you �Who are you?�, you might reply: �I am Mary Jones.� However,

if I was to write down the words �Mary Jones� on a piece of paper and present them to you,

would you agree with me that you are those words? Of course not! Why? Because you use

those words to represent your collection of life experiences. You might say instead: �I�m

the daughter of Frederic Jones�. However, now you�re representing yourself in relation

to another person, but if that person were to die, would you vanish from existence also?

You might then proceed to tell me you were born in 1988 in England, your parent�s names,

your religious beliefs, the names of your childhood friends, first boyfriend, and so

forth. And yet these are only a series of facts � a story if you will � but they

don�t really tell me who you are, only how you came to be here and all of your past experiences.

Eventually, it becomes very clear that we have all grown up believing that we are the

objective manifestations of our true selves, rather than being the subjective manifestations

of them. This might sound confusing, so let me better illustrate it:

Imagine that I was to put you into a completely empty cinema the moment you were born and

constantly projected a film onto the movie screen. In the cinema it�s completely dark

and you can�t see your body at all. There is no one else in the cinema to acknowledges

your existence. However in the movie, the characters begin talking to the camera, so

it appears they are talking to you. Not only that, but in this cinema you can also experience

the senses of �sight�, �touch�, �smell� and �sound� so that you are completely

absorbed inside the movie.

There�s also a voice in the background that is narrating what is occurring in the film

and you have complete control over that voice.

For us in our own lives it is so easy for us to momentarily forget who we are when we

watch movies � imagine the above example! It�s very easy to see how we can absorb

ourselves so much into the movie of our lives using all of our five senses, and an inner

narrator that we can control. This forces us to believe that we are the movie being

projected onto the screen of the world, rather than being the person sitting in the chair

watching it.

It is this narrator who is responsible for so much of our loss of self.

THE ETERNAL ECHO WITHIN There�s a simple experiment I like to try

with people. Look at a clock for a whole minute and try not think at all.

Mostly likely you�ll find this extremely difficult. At some point during this brief

experiment, a thought in the form of a voice will pop into your head � this is your narrator

who will most likely say something along the lines of: �This is stupid. Has a minute

passed yet?� �Oh no, stop thinking! Ahh!� The narrator in your head might even think:

�You�re wrong, I have no voice in my head�.

The daily reality of our lives is that this voice � our narrator � never seems to

shut up. It even answers itself: �Should I check my email now? No, it�s only been

half an hour since the last time I checked�. But have you ever questioned why this narrator

is constantly present in your life? Who decides what it is going to say? And how truthful

is it in its judgments of the external world?

It is quite a startling realization for many of us to become aware of this voice. It�s

almost like encountering a mentally ill person who asks a question out loud and then answers

it by himself.

Of course, we do have conscious control over what this voice is saying when we choose to

be aware of it for practical reasons like recalling information, for example: �What

time did I have the doctor appointment? Oh that�s right, at 3pm�. However most of

the time, this voice, this narrator, is a nagging echo in the back of our minds. Most

of the time we aren�t aware that it is filling our life experiences with useless judgments,

for instance: �Look at the flower in that garden, it�s so beautiful.� But who made

that assessment? You. And who is listening to that assessment? You as well. You already

know that the flower is beautiful, but by verbalizing your judgement of it in your mind,

you remove your attention from the real flower and on to the thoughts you create about that

flower.

We waste very large parts of our existences experiencing life through our thoughts, instead

of directly experiencing life. This is important to remember, as an essential part of our journey

of self-growth is to realize we aren�t the voice that we identify with, but the experiencer

of that voice. And while this inner voice, or narrator, does have a survival purpose

in that it provides us with a sense of control and comfort, in doing so, it also creates

many of our problems.

The truth is that what we perceive as problematic in life has nothing to do with life, and everything

to do with our minds. Our minds, in order to feel safe in this world, use the voice

in our heads, our narrators, as a way to feel in control. We walk down the street, and our

voices continue to narrate the world around us: �Look at that black kitten, it�s so

cute. There�s a sketchy looking guy coming towards me, I better cross the street. I wonder

how old that house is?� Everything around us is now known and safe.

In this very way of trying to control the reality around us, our inner voices go on

creating future expectations and desires from the world that are not always met, as well

as fears and worries about the present moment that are entirely based on assumptions, and

attachments to past traumas that don�t exist anymore.

Soon we don�t live and flow with present moment existence anymore, but instead live

in an internal world re-created by the mind. Eventually we discover that reality doesn�t

abide by the laws of our perception, and the moment our perceptions from our �dream worlds�

and reality overlap, we begin to suffer.

GROWING BEYOND THE ECHO

To truly grow out of our need to control and resist the world depends on the strength of

that voice within us. The more aware we are of this voice � this inner narrator and

its affect on life � the more we progress in soulful maturity, experiencing true self-growth.

I want you to stop and ask yourself a question for a few moments: When was the last time

you were entirely happy with your life, and how long did it last? Often we find that once

a problem in our lives is solved, another one lies just over the horizon, so we never

truly feel as though we�ve arrived at our final destination of happiness, and therefore

we never really feel at home or feel whole.

So how can you practically apply what you have read in this article? Well, the moment

you experience what you perceive as a problem don�t immediately try to find a way to fix

it. Instead, use the problem as an opportunity for self-exploration and inquire: �What

aspect within me is disturbed and resisting this, and why?� You could also ask: �What

part of me is angry about this? Why am I jealous and insecure? Why do I dislike this person

so much?� Once you�ve identified the part within you that is resisting the situation,

inquire further:

�Who is the one that is angry/jealous/disdainful?� Obviously if you are experiencing the feeling,

then you must be separate from that feeling and it cannot be �you�.

Creating this distancing between who you think you are and who you really are is essential

in order to experience true freedom.

The truth is that you have no control over the external world but you do have control

over your internal world that perceives the external world. Remember that �you� are

not your thoughts, judgements or feelings. What �you� are is limitless. �You�

are the experiencer experiencing.

Kesha Writes a Letter to Her Younger Self | Cosmopolitan - Duration: 1:41.

Dear Kesha,

I know you think that

what everyone else thinks about you is the most important thing in the world,

but one day you will realize that it doesn't really matter.

Will Smith is your dream man.

Please stop wearing...

Basically everything, but just, you know what, just keep going.

Just have fun.

Just have a good time!

One day you're going to sing at the Grammy's.

When it comes to song writing, make sure you always tell your story.

When it comes to love, go hard.

When it comes to heartbreak, get the guitar.

I know that bullies will suck, but inevitably, they're going to be great for lyrics.

Boys will come and go, so keep your friends close.

Your relationship with your mom will be everything.

She's going with you everywhere.

Stop worrying about everything, try to have fun!

Don't limit yourself to any kind of music.

Or anything in general, really.

Most importantly, learn to love yourself.

Much love, Kesha.

Altenew Build-A-Flower : Morning Glory Release! - Duration: 6:45.

hi it's Therese from Lostinpaper and today is time for another build of flower release

from Altenew and this one is Morning Glory and in time for Mother's Day it

has some beautiful sentiments that can go on a Mother's Day cards so I thought

I'd make a Mother's Day card today and I thought these flowers would be really

pretty in bright yellow, my mother-in-law, one of her favorite colors is yellow and

I thought a card covered in these yellow Morning Glory flowers would be awesome

so I decided to use my Misti because I wanted, like a say, a whole card covered

in these flowers pretty much. And the smaller flower has

three layers and the larger flower has four so what I actually decided to do

was I wanted my final layer to be the same. so there's four colors in the yellow family set and

I wanted them to have the same final layer so this is how I got around it

I've used the citrus burst for my first layer but when I came in for my second

layer I only did the large flower because this is the one that has the

four layers so I did this one in the maple yellow for my third layer on my

large flower on my second layer on my small one I went back to the original

plan of stamping two at once and this color is called fresh lemon and that

meant that my final layer of color was the same on both flowers and that's the

honey drizzle which is the darkest of the four in the pocketful of sunshine

set which is a really beautiful bright yellow set and I stamped out I think

about six of these all told now this set has coordinating dies like the Build a

flower sets normally do and I hadn't been thinking very well

when I set out my flowers and I did know that the smaller

flower came attached to the stem and leaves but I forgot so when I what I

decided to do was I could still die cut them all out because I figured this is

probably gonna be the easier way to add the leaves and things rather than I

could have lined it up before but to me this just seemed easier and I have cut

off accidentally one of the leaves because of how I place the flowers but

that's okay I'll be able to work around that I've got the tropical forest I've

got a couple of colors from that to do my leaves with the parrot and the moss

olive the parrot and the olive are the colors that I used and I found

these really quite easy to line up there's a couple of little filler pieces

that go with the smaller flower here and I'm just layering those up and that just

makes it look like that trumpet style that the Morning Glory has and the

leaves there's a separate leaf image as well and I just want to quickly show you

how easy this was to lay the the two different tines it's a pretty leaf too

and I'll just cut them all out with the coordinating die but I won't make you

sit through that this is my favorite greens all right so now I'm gonna start

sort of working on the base of my card this is a piece of moonrock cardstock

that's cut to the same size as my card front this is the next day I don't know

if you can notice that my um I accidentally got bitten by my cat and I

was trying to give her a tablet this morning the poor little things been a

bit sick so it's been a bit traumatic here in our household for the last

couple of days but hopefully everything's on track now and I did

stamp out a stem in the green as well I don't even

if you can see the stem in the end but maybe I know that that big flower is

connected to something ultimately in the end it may or may not be there is a lot

of flowers I think I put five in total on the front of this one card and if

you've ever looked at the Morning Glory plants or images from them there are a

lot of flowers they just loaded with in the most beautiful colors so you could

use these flower images this layering stamp image in so many

different beautiful colors from Altenew especially with all the layering

colors that are available now it's just wonderful I decided to add some tape

runner behind some of the flowers pop some of the flowers up and like I said I

don't even know if you can see that stem anymore I doubt it but that's okay I

know it's there and all I had to do there was a couple of little pieces that

were hanging over the edge of the card I just flipped my card over and could just

cut them off so this is a release today so head to my blog find it in the

links you may have a chance to win and also you'll find out what the other

designers are doing with this gorgeous set i stamped the sentiment on some

white cardstock and some black permanent ink and I just decided to pop that up

and as a final touch I have added some dewdrops because it is morning glory and

in the morning there's dew drops so until next time happy papercrafting bye
