Yt News today: Youtube daily report May 30 2018

- Morning, Trainiacs.

Your boy made a couple of mistakes over the weekend

and I am paying for it right now.

More on that just a little bit later.

The meat of today is about the difference

between endurance and strength endurance.

(upbeat music)

(hip hop music)

As expected, didn't have a whole lot in me there.

No, no, no, that was bad.

What happened over the weekend

is I did a long ride on Sunday.

Halfway through the long ride, 60 K into 120 K,

ran out of fluids.

I was planning on the town stop,

that I was halfway having some water, town store was closed,

so I'm still dry here two days later,

and then yesterday what was supposed to be

a recovery swim was much, much, much harder.

Recovery needs to be recovery

or you end up like I was today,

pretty flat, didn't do much on the sprints with the gang,

and instead of a 20 minute run, I did a 10 minute run.

Adjust, don't bail.

For starters.

If you get tired enough, you bail.

Let's get into the goods, shall we?

Trainiacs, this is gonna be just a regular,

old fashioned sit down.

So the difference between endurance and strength endurance

is huge and it has a lot of implications with...

Bonk your head Pete?

A lot of implications to how successful

you are in triathlon.

Traditional endurance is like your engine,

it's your heart and lungs, it's your central fitness.

It's your body's ability to perform an aerobic exercise

for a long period of time.

Strength endurance or muscular endurance is peripheral.

It's your arms and legs.

It's your body's ability to perform a specific task,

muscularly, many, many, many times in a row.

Traditionally, the old way of doing things,

I would associate more with just endurance training.

This is building up your engine.

Now, strength endurance is much more modern.

This is where a lot of the training methods

are starting to go and the reason for that

is that traditional endurance training

of just building your engine over and over and over,

mostly as building your VO2 max, has a very short top end.

It's really only about 15 to 20 percent higher

than a sedentary person can do

and it basically maxes out here,

and just constantly trying to build that engine,

you're not really going to be able

to turn a pony into a thoroughbred race horse.

But with strength and muscular endurance training,

the focus is more on building your top end speed,

your muscle's ability to fire really quickly,

good form, good technique, and delaying your body

from breaking down which tends to be the bigger issue

in endurance races, Half Iron Mans, Iron Mans,

full marathons, even Olympic distance triathlons,

triathlons that are longer than say an hour in distance,

these are the ones where you don't see people saying,

"Oh, I couldn't work hard at the end,

because my heart and lungs just wouldn't let me,

they couldn't pump any harder."

What people say is, "Oh, I was starting to fail

and getting a problem in my calf or my hip

or my back started getting sore."

These are muscular endurance problems,

and this is what will cause form breakdown

and what will cause you to slow down.

So let's talk first about the

differences in training methods.

Traditional endurance training is just going out,

doing long, steady kind of two, zone two,

zone three out of five, just that kind of hard,

but not really hard sort of effort,

just building your aerobic system.

Strength endurance training is more muscular.

It's heavy, heavy volume in the pool with many repetitions.

It's low gear work on the bike.

It's hill reps on the run.

It's form based running as opposed to

a lot tempo based running, and the thought is,

that working on your form and allowing it

to stay really good until longer in the race

will make you faster, because at that point in the race,

it's not about who can run twitchy fast,

it's about who can slow down the least.

Now, talking about the role that

strength itself plays in each category,

traditional endurance training coaches would say

that strength really doesn't play any sort of part,

because it's all about the engine, and strength,

if anything, it just builds bulk and it makes you slow,

whereas with strength endurance training,

there's a really big focus on strength

and your body's ability to maintain postural fitness,

stay upright, not collapse, not fail

towards the end of the race, so in the off season,

there might be a huge focus on heavy strength,

big strength, building your body's ability

to stay really strong and fire more neuromuscular patterns.

And then come race season, there's also a really big focus

on just postural fitness, staying nice and upright,

keeping all those side stabilizer muscles

really nice and healthy, making sure that you don't

have any points of failure during a race.

And the time required in training

for typical endurance training,

there have been some studies that show

to actually get the amount of benefit that you need

to become really fast in traditional endurance training,

you need to be doing literally 12 to 24 hours a day

of long, slow, steady work to build up your engine,

whereas in muscular and strength endurance training,

it's much more about quality over quantity.

It's about hitting those really high peaks in speed

and in strength and then about building

a nice, low aerobic base that's just enough

to keep you going throughout that race,

but keeping that technique really solid

throughout the entire time by being strong.

So a couple of things come from this.

Number one, at the end of this video,

I will show you a playlist to

all of our strength training videos,

which I think are really important in strength endurance,

if that's what you're into.

And number two, if this is sounding really good,

this is all gonna be part of our new coaching platform,

and there will be a link in the description below

to the Kickstarter where we are

basically just gaging interest in is this style of training

something that people are demanding,

because this is what it's gonna be based on.

I'm a quality over quantity kinda guy.

Now, we got some bike fixing to do.

Come on. (hip hop music)

- [Man] If I wheel this one back there?

- Oh, that's gonna cost a pretty penny.

So, the total tally is front hub something

on the road bike, loose chain, it's been like two years,

so it's stretched out, because I put down

so many frickin' watts on it.

Cut the seat post on the Ventum,

cut down the head tube on the Ventum,

and problems with the front derailer.

Just gotta get it lined up, but I can't do it.

Support your local bike shop, folks.

Good friends like James and Heather and Jeff and Rick,

and everyone there.

Alright, later Trainiacs.

Things People With Disabilities Wish You Knew - Duration: 4:58.

- I so often hear people send the message

like thank God that's not me when they see

someone with a disability or like

thank God that's not me or my kid.

And that's sending the message that

disability is equal to someone who is less than

or broken or incomplete and that's not the case.

(upbeat music)

- I have Cerebral Palsy.

It affects me pretty much from the hips down

and also just like fine motor control and things like that.

- So I have Tourette Syndrome which is

a neurological disorder which means I do

movements and noises that I can't control.

- I have Cerebral Palsy as well left Hemiparesis

and Nystagmus which means that my whole

left side is weaker than my rights.

- I have a very aggressive form for Lupus.

And I have a blood clotting disorder associated

with my Lupus and four years ago I had a clot in my foot.

And then this happened and over eight months

and 11 surgeries, this was the end.

(upbeat music)

- I...

love having Tourette's.

I love that I'm four foot, seven.

I love my obsessive compulsive disorder.

And I think that's the case that many of us

have embraced our disabilities.

- I've had my disabilities since I was born

and it's a part me.

- My brain is quick and witty and wildly inappropriate.

And it also has Tourette's and at some point

I decided not to just love parts of my brain.

(upbeat music)

A lot of times I see kids staring at me.

That's OK with me.

- I welcome it, kids are curious.

- But what I struggle with is when a parent

shushes them or quickly pulls them in the other direction.

- When a child is hustled away from a person

or hushed, it stigmatizes even just asking the question.

- Because kids then associate disability

with feeling ashamed.

- If they've never seen anything like this before

they're gonna look and if they questions let them ask.

There's nothing wrong with that.

- So instead I hope that parents say things like:

How cool that we all move differently

and walk differently and talk differently.

More than just like normalizing disability

but celebrating it.

We date, people with disabilities date!

And not always other people with disabilities.

- Just because I have I disability doesn't

mean I have to be paired with somebody with a disability.

- Direct message to everyone in my life

but if you're gonna set me up on a blind date

please have more criteria than

this guy also has a disability.

(upbeat music)

- Not every single person with a disability

is in a wheelchair.

I am not in a wheelchair.

I've never been in a wheelchair.

(upbeat music)

- If one more person calls me an inspiration

after just meeting me, I'm gonna burn your house down.

- We aren't inherently inspirational or brave

because we are disabled.

We're just kind of the idea that people

think about what when they say that.

- It's OK to call me an inspiration once you know me.

Or know something about me.

But genetics does not make me an inspiration.

Let me earn that word.

- There are people who are actually doing

amazing, brave things out there.

Whether they have a disability or not.

- But it comes across to a disabled person as:

wow I'm so happy that I'm not in your shoes.

(upbeat music)

- I get a lot of strangers trying to help me.

Up the steps by grabbing my arm or my waste or something.

And that's extremely inappropriate.

- You can say hey do you need some help?

Rather than just either forcing my chair or ignoring me.

(upbeat music)

It took me awhile to actually call myself

a person with a disability.

But I'm a person first.

Being an amputee is secondary.

- I rather have somebody say I'm a person with a disability

rather than being disabled because of the

whole control and ownership issue.

- I hear differently abled.

The word is disability.

- They used to call myself like differently abled

and some people didn't like that.

And I'm just like, but I am different

and their like no you're not

and it took me awhile to actually see

that I was using very able-bodied terms.

- It should be a descriptor.

Just like I'm right-handed, I have a disability.

(upbeat music)

When we're talking about disabilities I hear

the word that we wanna be accommodating, which is great.

Or we're working on tolerance.

Nobody wants to just be tolerated.

Like I tolerated those three years my sister

was learning to play the trombone.

I tolerate going to the dentist.

None of these things are things I like,

they're things I tolerate

because I know that I have to deal with.

So there's such an important step in communities

between opening the door to somebody with a disability

and like embracing them

and building a community with them in mind.

(upbeat music)

Which is Worse For You: Sugar or Fat? - Duration: 13:29.

[♪ INTRO]

We've all heard for decades about how terrible fat is for us, especially saturated fat.

In the 1970s and 80s, everyone was explicitly told to cut down on foods like butter, cheese,

and beef, to avoid heart attacks and strokes.

But now, apparently, they're ok?

Or good for you?

Or… something?

And it's sugar that's bad!

Sugar's what's killing us!

If we just cut sugar from our diets, we could rid the world of not only heart disease, but

also obesity, diabetes, and even cancer!

The change in attitude might seem extreme, but the case against sugar has been building

for decades, while the one against saturated fat has been weakening.

And yet, though we all love a good villain, when it comes to the health effects of your

diet, things are rarely that simple.

Today, we're taking a look back at the complex history of nutrition science to try to understand

how saturated fat became public enemy number one.

And how, when doctors zeroed in on fat, they overlooked the damaging effects of sugar.

But that doesn't mean it should be the new saturated fat, or that fat is entirely exonerated.

And while there still isn't an easy answer as to what diet is best for losing weight

or preventing heart disease, cutting down on things like saturated fats and refined

sugar is probably a good start.

Back in the late 1940s, Ancel Keys, a physiologist at the University of Minnesota was puzzled

by the fact that American businessmen seemed to be dying at an alarming rate from heart attacks.

These middle-aged men made more than enough money to to afford quality food.

So why were they the ones keeling over?

He hit upon an idea, often called called the diet-heart hypothesis, that would forever

alter 20th century food habits.

That's the notion that the amount of fat you eat, specifically saturated fats—the

ones where the fatty carbon chains are all connected by single bonds, and therefore maxxed

out, or saturated, with hydrogens—leads to high levels of fats in your blood, which

then glom onto the walls of your blood vessels to cause coronary artery disease.

It's kind of like how pouring too much bacon fat down your drain can clog your pipes.

Keys was especially concerned about blood levels of the fat cholesterol because it's

found in the fatty build ups in blood vessels.

So he did a few small studies to test his idea, and then decided to go big or go home.

In the Seven Countries Study, he and his colleagues looked for correlations between diet and coronary

artery disease in about 13,000 middle-aged men in the U.S., Japan, Finland, Yugoslavia,

Italy, Greece, and the Netherlands.

By 1970, the early results were in, and total dietary fat didn't seem to matter.

But the groups of men with the highest average saturated fat intake tended to die more often

from heart attacks,

and across the globe, blood cholesterol levels correlated with saturated fat consumption.

Another large epidemiological study, the Framingham Heart Study, further supported a link between

blood cholesterol and the risk of heart disease.

These studies showed robust correlations, but they still were just that: correlations.

Many people, though, assumed that these results meant that reducing fat intake would protect

people against coronary artery disease—which is not something a correlational study can actually show.

A handful of researchers did try to do randomized controlled trials—the gold standard for

testing medical interventions—to see if low saturated fat or low cholesterol diets

actually helped prevent heart attacks and deaths, as the hypothesis predicted.

But nutrition trials are notoriously difficult.

Some of the results suggested lowering saturated fat could help, but most were small studies

and they were hard to interpret.

And each one used a slightly different diet, replacing in the saturated fat calories with

different things.

So, by the late '70s, there was still no conclusive proof that reducing saturated fats

could actually protect hearts.

But that hadn't stopped the diet-heart hypothesis from becoming mainstream—it seemed to fit

most of the available data.

And many experts felt the danger of cardiovascular disease was too high not to recommend some

some change in what Americans were eating.

So in 1977, the US Senate Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs released its

new dietary goals, telling Americans to get just 30% of their calories from fat — down

from 40% — and to limit the saturated fat to 10% of the total.

The guidelines also suggested reducing dietary cholesterol and refined sugar, and increasing

complex carbohydrates, but those weren't really talked about as much.

Other countries followed suit, so soon, pretty much everyone was told to shun butter for

margarine, and supermarket shelves were quickly stocked with "low fat" options.

But from the beginning, critics questioned those recommendations, pointing out that the

specific diet now being championed had never been tested in a trial.

And some suspected refined sugar was a bigger problem.

In fact, the Seven Countries Study also showed a strong correlation between the consumption

of sugar and heart attacks, but this finding wasn't given much additional study because

it looked like saturated fat was the better predictor.

And it wasn't until this century that we learned the sugar industry helped ensure its

product was overlooked.

For example, in 1967, they paid three Harvard public health researchers what would now be

about $50,000 to write a review article in The New England Journal of Medicine —a highly

influential journal—that highlighted the role of fat and downplayed any involvement of sugar.

But twenty years later, after a half century of fat-hating, the tide began to slowly turn

toward against them, both in the lab and at home.

Not only had research not found conclusive proof that saturated fats were the problem,

new analyses of the collective past studies showed that the link between saturated fats

and heart disease was much weaker than previously assumed.

And new observational studies were finding that quickly digestible carbohydrates and

added sugars were independently associated with an increased risk of heart disease.

Also, the whole idea that "cholesterol" was bad turned out to be much more complicated,

undermining part of the premise for why fat was supposed to be so evil.

To their credit, researchers in the '60s and '70s had a vague sense that the type

of cholesterol mattered.

But they didn't fully understand how cholesterol moves in our blood, including the roles of

the different lipoproteins that ferry it around.

When doctors look for "cholesterol" levels in blood now, they tend to look at triglycerides—the

total amount of fat—as well as the total amount of cholesterol.

They also look at whether that cholesterol is being shuttled by low-density lipoproteins

or LDL, the so-called 'bad' cholesterol, and high density lipoproteins or HDL, the

'good' cholesterol.

High LDL is a risk factor for heart disease, but having more HDL is usually considered

good, though researchers are still trying to understand the different sizes and subtypes

of each and how they help or harm.

The problem is, foods that are high in saturated fat can raise both HDL and LDL, so they might

seem more harmful if you just focus on total cholesterol or LDL.

So as a new century began, people started rethinking the war on fat, especially since

the advice to lower fat intake wasn't helping people stay healthy.

By the early 2000s, low-fat diets didn't seem to be doing squat for most people.

Obesity and diabetes — both of which are risk factors for heart disease — had skyrocketed.

And that might be because, while lots of people embraced low-fat foods, they had opted for

reduced fat snack cakes or cereal loaded with sugar or other carbs instead of healthier

things like fresh fruits and veggies.

So a different diet—the low-carb, high-fat Atkins diet—became all the rage, and it

did seem to help people lose weight.

Scientists started to pay attention to it, too, and their initial results were promising.

In short-term trials of 6 months or so, people lost a modest amount of weight and tended

to slightly lower triglycerides while boosting HDL.

Diets high in sugar and refined carbs, on the other hand, tended to do the opposite,

raising triglyceride levels and bad LDL cholesterol, while lowering good HDL.

And in both animals and people, excess sugar was linked to elevated blood pressure—another

risk factor for heart disease.

The weight of the evidence against sugar over the past twenty years in particular has tipped

the scales, and now, you've probably heard all about how sugar is the worst thing ever.

It sure is an easy target; since sugar provides no nutrients other than calories, it's hard

to defend.

You certainly don't need refined sugar to stay alive.

And that's led a lot of people to call it 'toxic' and blame almost anything on it,

even diseases with strong genetic links, like inflammatory bowel disease or cancer.

But careful review of the science suggests that's taking the backlash a little too far.

While most of us are likely eating too much added sugar, no one really knows how much

is too much.

And connections to diseases, even ones that seem clear-cut, are not always so straightforward.

Scientists don't actually know whether eating sugar can cause diabetes, for example.

Eating too much sugar can certainly lead to weight gain and obesity, which is one of the

biggest risk factors for the disease.

But different people break down and use sugars differently, and so right now many experts

think sugar consumption itself isn't causing diabetes—complications from being overweight are.

Which is also likely the case for heart disease and other aspects of health.

We know that high cholesterol in the blood, specifically LDL, is a risk factor for heart

disease, but so is high blood pressure and obesity.

How food fits into all of that isn't simple, since dietary fat and sugar both affect some

risk factors.

Other habits matter, too, like whether you exercise or smoke.

And researchers are still trying to understand what sugar actually does to the body.

Quote "sugar" comes in various forms, the relative merits or demerits of which scientists

are still debating.

And the same can be said of quote "fat."

If you ask a cardiologist today about whether saturated fat is bad for you, you may get

a surprising answer: it depends.

That's because whether or not saturated fat increases cardiovascular disease in any

given study seems to change depending on the exact type of fat being studied, what the

source is, and what it's replaced with if it's removed from the diet.

The extent to which sugar and saturated fat are to blame for heart disease, or pretty

much any disease, is still being heavily debated by researchers.

At the end of the day, though, you still have to eat, and all of this doesn't really give

us a satisfying answer as to what your diet should look like.

And I hate to tell you this, but head-to-head tests of low-fat and low-carb diets haven't

identified a clear winner.

While low-carb diets seem to be a teensy bit better in the short term, when scientists

study people for longer, the difference declines.

Low-carb diets seem to lead to slightly higher increases in good cholesterol and bigger drops

in triglycerides, but the two diets perform about the same for other heart disease markers.

And neither is terribly effective for people trying to lose weight.

Typical weight loss after a year is barely over 5 kg.

But you can always find individuals who respond really well, dropping like 30 kg, and those

who gain weight while on the diet.

This has led some researchers to think that maybe certain people, either because of genetics

or metabolic reasons, do better on a low-carb diet, while others benefit more from a low-fat

regimen.

One especially attractive idea is that people who already are a little insulin resistant—a

huge risk factor for type two diabetes—would probably fare better with fewer carbs and

more fat.

But even this more nuanced approach doesn't seem to hold water.

In a 2018 study of about 600 people, assigning diets based on genes or insulin levels didn't

help.

Everybody did about the same after one year, regardless of whether they went low-fat or

low-carb.

Scientists are still hoping to find other markers, like those related to the microbiome,

or how much certain genes are expressed, that could determine what diet is best for you.

But for now, what we're left with is a bit of a draw.

There are some things that can be gleaned from this big, nutritional mess, though.

In general, doctors still recommend cutting down on saturated fats, but it's important

to pay attention to what you eat instead.

Swapping out saturated fats for unsaturated ones, like those found in nuts, is usually beneficial.

That is also often true if you exchange the fat for whole grains, but not if you sub in

other carbs, like sugar.

And it probably wouldn't hurt to cut down on refined sugar in general, too.

But if we've learned anything from nutrition history, it's that a blanket prohibition

on any one thing isn't likely to be the answer.

Sugar vs. fat is a false dichotomy, and when you think about it, that makes complete sense.

Of course too much fat is a bad idea.

And so is too much sugar.

But just as eating the occasional sweet is not going to give you cancer, and the occasional

steak isn't going to give you a heart attack.

Z-Scores and Percentiles: Crash Course Statistics #18 - Duration: 10:55.

Hi, I'm Adriene Hill, and Welcome back to Crash Course, Statistics.

One thing that statistics are good for comparing.

You can compare your GPA with the mean or median GPA, and you can use the standard deviation

to figure out whether the amount of time that people spend on social media everyday is pretty

similar, or whether people differ a lot.

But both these examples are comparing apples to apples.

And sometimes we want to compare things that aren't exactly the same, or aren't measured

in the same way.

This is where standardization comes in.

For example some prospective college students took the SAT, some the ACT and others both.

How can we compare things that aren't the same?

It's like comparing apples to grapefruit.

INTRO

Say there are two students who are applying for admission to the same college-- one took

only the SAT, and the other only the ACT.

Both tests are trying to measure the same thing: college readiness.

But they're different tests, and more importantly, are measured on different scales; The SAT

is currently out of 1600 points, while the ACT is out of 36 points.

This makes things tough to compare.

While I can maybe assume that a perfect score on the SAT and ACT mean similar things--namely

that I've found a superstar test taker--it's not immediately clear whether a 1200 on the

SAT is better than a 25 on the ACT.

Again, apples to grapefruit.

They're similar but not quite the same.

The first thing we can do To make these scores easier to compare is to center both of the

distributions around zero by subtracting the mean of each respective test from each score.

Now for both adjusted test scores, someone who got around the mean of either test will

have a score of 0.

So, if you scored a 1000 on the SAT or a 21 on the ACT , your new, adjusted score would

be 0, since those scores are 0 points away from the means of each test.

Now that both scores are centered around zero, it's a little easier to compare them.

Things that are close to zero indicate a score that was close to the mean, while those far

away from zero indicate scores that were either a lot higher, or a lot lower than the mean

score for that test.

But our test scores are still on different scales.

A 10 (above the mean) on the SAT obviously isn't the same as at 10 (above the mean)

on the ACT.

The second, and final step that will allow us to compare these two scores is to take

our already adjusted scores and measure the distance away from the mean using units of

standard deviation.

We do this by dividing the adjusted scores by the standard deviation of the respective tests.

This rescales both distributions of scores so that the standard deviation for both is

now 1 unit.

A re-scaled score, which is called a z-score, of 1 indicates a point that is 1 standard

deviation higher than the mean, and a z-score of -1 indicates a point that is 1 standard

deviation lower than the mean.

Now we can better compare two students: Tony who got a 1200 on the SAT, and Maia who got

a 25 on the ACT.

First we subtract the mean score from each, and then divide by the standard deviation.

Let's say those standard deviations are 200 and 4.8 for the SAT and ACT respectively.

So Tony's score of 1200 minus 1000 divided by 200 gives a new z-score of 1 (which means

means that it is 1 standard deviations above the mean).

And Maia's 25 becomes 25 minus 21 divided by 4.8 giving a new z-score of 0 .83 (which

means that her score is .83 standard deviations above the mean).

These scores are much more comparable.

It's easy to see that Tony and Maia's z-scores are actually pretty similar, even

though it was hard to tell with their original scores of 1200 and 25.

Z-scores in general allow us to compare things that are not on the same scale, as long as

they're normally distributed.

In fact there's an entire z-distribution that allows us to calculate things like percentiles.

Percentiles tell you what percentage of the population has a score or value that's lower

than yours.

The median, is the 50th percentile; exactly half the data is above and below it.

By looking up Tony and Maia's z-scores in a standardized z-table, we can see that Both

scored above approximate 80% of their peers give or take.

You may have seen percentiles at the doctor's office when your physician told your parents

that you were at the 83rd percentile for height.

That means that 83% of the population-- and here we mean kids your age, not all people

ever--have heights that are less than or equal to yours.

If you look at the whole distribution of heights and found yours, 83% of the distribution would

be to the left of your height.

Now, technically you can find these percentiles for any distribution, it involves calculating

the area underneath the curve and figuring out how much of it is below a certain value.

But that calculation can be tedious, so often times we convert normal distributions into

standard normal--or z--distributions which have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.

Common percentiles have already been calculated for the z-distribution, you may have seen

a table of them in a statistics textbook.

Say you are competing for a spot at a local video game convention.

The rules state that you must be in the top 5 percent of scores for your favorite game,

Call of Civic Duty--a jury duty based video game.

Scores of Call of Civic Duty are normally distributed with a mean of 2,000 and a standard

deviation of 300.

You get 100 points each day you don't fall asleep.

So you set out to find out what score would put you at the 95th percentile.

Being in the 95th percentile means that you're in the top 5 percent of scores since 95% are

below you.

And these are just two different ways of talking about the same situation.

Looking at our z-score table, we can see that a z-score of about 1.65 would put you in the

top 5 percent of Call of Civic Duty players.

In fact a z-score of 1.65 corresponds to the 95th percentile of any z-scored distribution.

But we want to turn that back into a Call of Civic Duty score so that you know just

how high you have to score in order to qualify for the gaming convention.

We know the process to turn a raw score into a z-score, so to go the other direction, we

just reverse it.

First, we multiply the z-score by the standard deviation--300--to get 495.

Then we add the mean score 2,000 to get the final score to beat: 2,495.

We can also think of percentiles as the probability that a random score drawn from a z-distribution

will be lower than a given score.

Say, you are at the 90th percentile for marathon runners.

That means that if we randomly selected a marathon runner, 90% of the time we'd select

a runner with the same or slower run times than you.

So you're in the top 10 percent, but does that mean you're "extremely" good?

There's really no clear answer of how good you have to be or how high a score has to

be in order to be considered "extreme", it's somewhat arbitrary.

You may think the top 10% of marathon runners are "extreme", but someone might draw

the line at the top 1%.

In fact, sometimes you can be so extreme that people might start to think you're not even

from a certain population z-distribution.

Let's go to the Thought Bubble.

You're at the county fair, and stop at a game booth.

The woman running it says that she has two piles: one of apples, and one of some type

of mystery object.

She'll randomly pick an item from one pile.

If you can guess whether she picked an apple or not, you'll win a lifetime supply of

funnel cake.

She does kindly tell you that the mean weight of this type of apple is 200 grams with a

standard deviation of 20 grams.

She grabs an object, weighs it, and yells out the weight of 270 grams.

You quickly calculate the z-score is 3.5.

You take out your phone and pull up a z-score table and figure out this object would be

in the top 99.99th percentile, meaning that it is larger than 99.99 percent of apples.

It's such a big apple, it's basically New York.

If it was an apple, it's unlikely you'd get one this big, only 0.001% of the time.

So maybe it's not an apple.

Before you give your final answer you need to ask yourself whether you think that's

rare enough for you to conclude that it's probably not an apple, the limit is pretty

arbitrary, but it's enough here for you to guess not an apple.

And you swear you see a twinkle in the proprietor's eye when she tells you that you're wrong

and pulls out a very large apple.

As you walk away, you think about how nice it would have been to know what the mystery

pile was.

If it had been a pile of Bowling Balls, you probably would have guessed "apple", even

though it seemed a little heavy since it's more likely to have a 270 gram apple than

a 270 gram bowling ball.

But if the other pile were grapefruit, you might be more inclined to stick with your

original choice of "not an apple", since a 270 gram grapefruit is more likely than

a 270 gram apple.

But since you didn't know, you made the best choice that you could and you can buy

your own funnel cake.

Thanks Thought Bubble.

Z-scores help us make comparisons.

We can compare a thing to a certain population, like a particular apple weight to all apple

weights.

And we can compare stuff that's not naturally comparable like SAT and ACT scores.

Though we might not calculate actual scores, the ideas behind z-scores are what make us

feel that the likelihood of being on the same flight as Chadwick Boseman is way smaller

than the likelihood of hitting 4 red lights on our way home, even though those things

are very different.

Or maybe we're trying to compare athletes from different sports to see who the GOAT is,

no not that kind of goat, Greatest Of All Time.

Let's say our top contenders are Lebron James and Tom Brady.

But who's the GOAT?

Lebron has a career average of about 27 points per game, while Brady has an average of 1.92

touchdowns per game between 2000-2017.

While both are impressive, we're looking for the greatest.

When we're picking out our GOAT, we could compare the two athletes by thinking about

how much higher above the average score each one has.

But to know which athlete's score is more impressive we'd need to compare their z-scores.

I haven't run the math, but off the top of my head, I'm going with LeBron.

Prove me wrong.

Best analysis wins something that weighs less than 270 grams.

No other clues.

Thanks for watching, I'll see you next time.

Behind Closed Doors at the Canucks Pre-Draft Scouting Meetings - Duration: 6:07.

- This is the most important

piece of our business that we have right here.

Is what happens in this room.

The right process doesn't always guarantee

a great result, but a bad process, in my opinion, does.

Our process is critical.

- Championship teams usually have

10, 11, 12 home-grown players.

All good teams, they're built through the draft.

- I'm gonna try to get more picks if I can.

Make sure that you get that order right

because if we do get more picks going into the draft,

it's going to be important, the work

you do in the room, right now.

- The objective of this meeting

is really to make a list.

You spend the year talking about players and

giving your commentary on what they do well

and what they do poorly and

that's fine and good, but at the end of the day,

you've got to have them in order.

- Regardless if it is your first year

or your 30th year, that

you got an opinion on a player,

let's make sure we get it out there.

- So, today we're gonna start,

we're gonna talk about the centers,

we're gonna re-order that list.

We'd like to get three, four names up here on the board,

talk them out, player type, future potential,

hockey sense, character compete, skating, skill.

- We've really made it a point of speaking

the same language and using the same terms.

Really identifying characteristics or criteria

that are gonna be the building blocks

of the players that we want.

- He's a strong, powerful skater.

- But when we talk about the game,

the direction it's going, and the pace, I don't see him

having separation speed or anything that's

gonna push him passed that.

- Bo Horvat didn't have separation speed

when he was at that age.

- With Horvat, his skating was probably

75% or 70% mental of just figuring out

you can't plant anymore, you can't glide

through the neutral zone.

Once he got it mentally, like Gaudette's

gonna be the same type in the sense

once he mentally figures out he's gotta hit holes,

when he gets pucks in the neutral zone,

he can't plant and look for his passes.

- The fact that players are coming at it from

different avenues, different backgrounds,

different geographical areas, maturity levels.

We're not evaluating on the same plain

with every player, so that's what poses

the greatest difficulty.

- We see with Pettersson, these guys at the

higher levels are on the wing,

but when they get into their age group,

they're in the middle.

- The things that really stand out for me are

hockey sense, work ethic, compete, those types of things.

Regardless of the level that they're at,

those are the key components to, you know,

them having good futures as hockey players.

- Does where he plays, does that concern us?

Like long term for his development?

- If you put him on another team, he's got 80 points.

- Yeah.

- I mean there was nights he's

getting tough match-ups every night.

- Character compete?

- I give him two.

- Skill?

- Three there.

- I'm a big believer in body language.

I'm watching his interaction with his

teammates, coaches, on the bench.

How he interacts against opponents.

- We try to put together a complete picture of a player

So that we're not drafting only what we see

on the ice, we're drafting the total person.

- When we talk about hockey sense,

being guys that play the same way all the time,

like only know one way to play,

like even in the prospect game where it's a big

show-off, show-case, guys are trying to do offensive things,

he can't help himself, like he still plays

the right way details wise, and all that.

- You know not every player, as good as they are

maybe is a fit for us,

so we talk in terms of this player being

a Canuck, and what does that mean,

and are they a foundation piece for us.

- What are the deficiencies that make him a 3?

- It's more power, speed-based game,

It's not a wide-vision, distribute the puck,

get my wingers involved.

It's not that he

struggles there, but it's not ...

Like this guy, is a clear play-maker.

Like this guy is making plays offensively.

I think his offensive bent is higher than his.

- Good scouts have the ability to be

strong enough of mind that if they feel

strongly in disagreement with certain aspects of sort of

what the herd is thinking,

we obviously want to hear that.

- He's stronger than he is fast.

But real smart player, good play-making centre.

Finds players, really good at protecting the puck.

- I agree with you, he's more strong

than he is fast.

At making other guys better around him, I didn't see that.

I know he's capable of that, but

I didn't see it.

- It's important to be able to change your views

or see things differently, you know,

which is sort of the counter to that.

You want to be strong-minded, but not

pig-headed, you know, that's why we're

all in here together so you hear things

from other people that maybe changes your

perspective or view point.

- First round pick, you know, I was kind of sour.

And then I found out what these guys told me

and then we watched it with a different eye,

and the fact that his character is so high,

like he won me over.

- Probably by the end of the week, he's gonna be

probably our biggest jumper. This guy

was not on our 45, was on the player type,

and I think even on the 2-way player type,

he was down quite a bit,

and you know, he's pushing into the top 6

amongst centers right now.

- I think we'll leave here with probably 45

names, in order and some positional lists

that will supplement that.

- The probability of the 200 players

that are gonna be picked, is low.

So when you find one, or as a group,

and you unearth it, it's certainly rewarding.

- The payoff is when you make the picks

and you see the players succeed, you know.

The payoff is a Brock Boeser.

And any other players that make it to the league

and become consistent players and contributing players,

that's where your satisfaction comes from.

When A Man Saved A Horse From The Slaughterhouse, Her Response To Freedom Touched His Heart Deeply - Duration: 5:29.

Jamie Castano is no stranger to rescuing animals.

However, when hehad saved one horse from almost certain slaughter in 2017, it had a profound

effect on him.

That's because the animal's response to her newfound freedom touched him deeply.

Castano founded Freedom Farm Animal Rescue in New Jersey in 2014.

The creatures that the non-profit works with have usually been rescued from a lifetime

of neglect and abuse.

Furthermore, lots of animals Castano and his organization rescue come directly from slaughterhouses

where their only fate is often death.

Animal lover Castano first became dedicated to saving livestock after rescuing a lamb

named Clark in 2016.

Around about the same time, he and his girlfriend became vegan after becoming aware of the brutal

reality of the meat and dairy industries.

Sadly, little Clark died of an infection soon after Castano rescued him from a dairy farm

auction in Upstate New York.

However, while their relationship may have been short-lived, it had a lasting impact

on Castano and his approach to animal rescue.

In February 2018 Castano told to Peace 4 Animals, "Even though I only knew him a few months,

he made a life-changing impact on me."

He added, "We couldn't contribute to more Clarks."

As a result, Freedom Farm Animal Rescue turned its intention to rescuing the victims of agriculture.

With that in mind, as president of the organization, Castano often took it upon himself to attend

livestock auctions.

At such events, Castano was able to identify animals in need of Freedom Farm Animal Rescue's

help.

However, they can be quite harrowing affairs to witness.

Describing some of the scenes he'd witnessed at auctions, in 2017 Castano told The Dodo,

"You stand there in a warehouse, and… you see that there are thousands that are

going to be killed today, and it almost makes you feel like, 'What are you doing?'"

But attending such events was a necessary evil in Castano's fight against animal cruelty.

Even if he could save just one individual from a life of suffering and misery, such

visits felt worth it – no matter how heartbreaking they might have been.

So in summer 2017 Castano and some of his fellow animal rescuers went to a livestock

auction house in the hope of capturing footage and photographs inside.

On that occasion, they didn't intend to rescue any animals.

However, it seemed that the fates had other plans.

As Castano looked around the warehouse, something caught his eye.

It was a horse with the number "25" branded on her neck.

Straight away Castano had to investigate, since the figure had a special significance

to him.

Castano explained to The Dodo, "I actually have the number 25 tattooed on my arm as a

memorial for my uncle who had passed away."

Consequently, the coincidence was too strange to ignore.

"So when I happened to see her, I was like, 'Oh my god,'" he added.

The horse in question was in a "direct ship" pen, which meant she would be dispatched to

slaughter after the auction.

And to make matters worse, it didn't appear that the animal had enjoyed a nice life to

begin with.

That's because, according to Castano, she had "pin firing marks" on her legs.

Revealing the possible cause of the holes, Castano explained to The Dodo, "They give

them to racehorses.

It's pretty much like a shot of acid to freeze the tendon or muscle.

So when they have an injury or they're not performing their best, this is supposed to

make them not feel that area.

My vet had said, 'Maybe four or five pin firing marks is almost normal,' but she

had 18 on each leg."

The horse's plight touched Castano so much that he decided to fundraise to buy her freedom.

Thankfully, some kind animal lovers donated to the cause, and soon the equine was on her

way to the Freedom Farm Animal Rescue sanctuary with Castano.

Her rescuers named the horse Joanie, and it didn't take long for her to show them just

how grateful she was for a second shot at life.

In fact, as soon as Joanie arrived at her new home, she shimmied all across the floor

in happiness.

Recalling what he witnessed during Joanie's first taste of freedom, Castano said to The

Dodo, "We backed up the trailer to her quarantine field, and as soon as we let her out — we

didn't even taken the stickers off her butt yet — she walked right out and started rolling."

Castano later discovered it was likely that the horse had been born in Illinois in 1999.

After retiring from a successful stint as a racehorse, she was sold off to become an

Amish buggy horse, before winding up at the livestock auction house where Castano had

found her.

So after a whole lifetime of toil and torture, Joanie finally found a safe haven at Freedom

Farm Animal Rescue.

However, it would take her some time for all her scars to heal – particularly when it

came to trusting humans once more.

Castano revealed to The Dodo, "At the auction, when we first walked up to her, I said, 'Wow,

she's beautiful.'

I put my hand out to pet her and she flinched and threw her head like she was terrified

of me."

He added, "But now she's been in quarantine for three weeks, you can walk up to feed her,

she runs up to the gate and she's all in your face.

She definitely knows she's no longer on her way to slaughter."

Soon, thanks to Freedom Farm Animal Rescue, Joanie had completely transformed from the

terrified horse that was not long for this world.

"She's just an absolute sweetheart," Castano enthused to The Dodo.

"If we're in her field, she'll follow us all around.

To go from a horse that was on her way to a slaughterhouse to following us around the

pasture — that's incredible."

[HPA Q&A] I have a spun a bearing! Can I just replace the shells? | Performance Engine Building - Duration: 1:46.

- Next question comes from Jay who's asked,

can you change rod bearings and crank with new bearings

after a spun bearing without splitting the engine

and removing pistons et cetera?

If you have any real level of bearing damage at all,

you're going to have a lot more work on your hands

than just replacing the bearing shells.

So particularly if a bearing has spun,

that's going to also damage the journal

of either the engine block or the conrod

that that particular bearing was in.

So you're going to need quite a lot of corrective machine

work in order to fix that.

In some instances the conrod particularly will be

a throwaway item.

It's going to probably be exposed to a huge amount of heat

and it's quite often in those situations you're going

to see the surface of the conrod will be either blue

or black from the heat it's been exposed to

due simply to the friction.

So yeah if you've got bearing problems like this,

you're very very seldom going to be able

to get away with just fitting new bearings.

The other thing you need to understand though as well,

and this is a common mistake I see people make.

When we're got a problem, it's not enough just to fix

the symptoms of that problem.

What we really need to do is dig a little bit deeper

and find out why did that problem happen in the first place.

Because otherwise we're just opening ourselves up

to have exactly that same issue again.

$21 Trillion Missing From the Pentagon – Remember 911 and the Missing $2.3 Trillion - Duration: 11:24.

$21 Trillion Missing From the Pentagon � Remember 911 and the Missing $2.3 Trillion

�The day before 911 Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3

Trillion! The very next day the General Accounting Office at the Pentagon was hit by a �plane�

and everyone therein was killed! These sums of money are beyond imagination. What is the

Pentagon doing with amounts like this? How can these monies be unaccounted for?

Twenty-one trillion dollars.

The Pentagon�s own numbers show that it can�t account for $21 trillion. Yes, I mean

trillion with a �T.� And this could change everything. But I�ll get back to that in

a moment.

There are certain things the human mind is not meant to do. Our complex brains cannot

view the world in infrared, cannot spell words backward during orgasm and cannot really grasp

numbers over a few thousand. A few thousand, we can feel and conceptualize. We�ve all

been in stadiums with several thousand people. We have an idea of what that looks like (and

how sticky the floor gets).

But when we get into the millions, we lose it. It becomes a fog of nonsense. Visualizing

it feels like trying to hug a memory. We may know what $1 million can buy (and we may want

that thing), but you probably don�t know how tall a stack of a million $1 bills is.

You probably don�t know how long it takes a minimum-wage employee to make $1 million.

That�s why trying to understand � truly understand � that the Pentagon spent 21

trillion unaccounted-for dollars between 1998 and 2015 washes over us like your mother telling

you that your third cousin you met twice is getting divorced. It seems vaguely upsetting,

but you forget about it 15 seconds later because� what else is there to do?

Twenty-one trillion.

But let�s get back to the beginning. A couple of years ago, Mark Skidmore, an economics

professor, heard Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary in the Department of Housing

and Urban Development, say that the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General had

found $6.5 trillion worth of unaccounted-for spending in 2015. Skidmore, being an economics

professor, thought something like, �She means $6.5 billion. Not trillion. Because

trillion would mean the Pentagon couldn�t account for more money than the gross domestic

product of the whole United Kingdom. But still, $6.5 billion of unaccounted-for money is a

crazy amount.�

So he went and looked at the inspector general�s report, and he found something interesting:

It was trillion! It was f *****g $6.5 trillion in 2015 of unaccounted-for spending! And I�m

sorry for the cursing, but the word �trillion� is legally obligated to be prefaced with �f*****g.�

It is indeed way more than the U.K.�s GDP.

Skidmore did a little more digging. As Forbes reported in December 2017, �He and Catherine

Austin Fitts conducted a search of government websites and found similar reports dating

back to 1998. While the documents are incomplete, original government sources indicate $21 trillion

in unsupported adjustments have been reported for the Department of Defense and the Department

of Housing and Urban Development for the years 1998-2015.�

Let�s stop and take a second to conceive how much $21 trillion is (which you can�t

because our brains short-circuit, but we�ll try anyway).

1. The amount of money supposedly in the stock market is $30 trillion.

2. The GDP of the United States is $18.6 trillion.

3. Picture a stack of money. Now imagine that that stack of dollars is all $1,000 bills.

Each bill says �$1,000� on it. How high do you imagine that stack of dollars would

be if it were $1 trillion. It would be 63 miles high.

4. Imagine you make $40,000 a year. How long would it take you to make $1 trillion? Well,

don�t sign up for this task, because it would take you 25 million years (which sounds

like a long time, but I hear that the last 10 million really fly by because you already

know your way around the office, where the coffee machine is, etc.).

The human brain is not meant to think about a trillion dollars. And it�s definitely

not meant to think about the $21 trillion our Department of Defense can�t account

for. These numbers sound bananas. They sound like something Alex Jones found tattooed on

his backside by extraterrestrials.

But the 21 trillion number comes from the Department of Defense Office of Inspector

General � the OIG. Although, as Forbes pointed out, �after Mark Skidmore began inquiring

about OIG-reported unsubstantiated adjustments, the OIG�s webpage, which documented, albeit

in a highly incomplete manner, these unsupported �accounting adjustments,� was mysteriously

taken down.�

Luckily, people had already grabbed copies of the report, which � for now - you can

view here.

Here�s something else important from that Forbes article � which is one of the only

mainstream media articles you can find on the largest theft in American history: �Given

that the entire Army budget in fiscal year 2015 was $120 billion, unsupported adjustments

were 54 times the level of spending authorized by Congress.�

That�s right. The expenses with no explanation were 54 times the actual budget allotted by

Congress. Well, it�s good to see Congress is doing 1/54th of its job of overseeing military

spending (that�s actually more than I thought Congress was doing). This would seem to mean

that 98 percent of every dollar spent by the Army in 2015 was unconstitutional.

So, pray tell, what did the OIG say caused all this unaccounted-for spending that makes

Jeff Bezos� net worth look like that of a guy jingling a tin can on the street corner?

�The July 2016 inspector general report indicates that unsupported adjustments are

the result of the Defense Department�s �failure to correct system deficiencies.� They blame

trillions of dollars of mysterious spending on a �failure to correct system deficiencies�?

That�s like me saying I had sex with 100,000 wild hairless aardvarks because I wasn�t

looking where I was walking.

Twenty-one trillion.

Say it slowly to yourself.

At the end of the day, there are no justifiable explanations for this amount of unaccounted-for,

unconstitutional spending. Right now, the Pentagon is being audited for the first time

ever, and it�s taking 2,400 auditors to do it. I�m not holding my breath that they�ll

actually be allowed to get to the bottom of this.

But if the American people truly understood this number, it would change both the country

and the world. It means that the dollar is sprinting down a path toward worthless. If

the Pentagon is hiding spending that dwarfs the amount of tax dollars coming in to the

federal government, then it�s clear the government is printing however much it wants

and thinking there are no consequences. Once these trillions are considered, our fiat currency

has even less meaning than it already does, and it�s only a matter of time before inflation

runs wild.

It also means that any time our government says it �doesn�t have money� for a project,

it�s laughable. It can clearly �create� as much as it wants for bombing and death.

This would explain how Donald Trump�s military can drop well over 100 bombs a day that cost

well north of $1 million each.

So why can�t our government also �create� endless money for health care, education,

the homeless, veterans benefits and the elderly, to make all parking free and to pay the Rolling

Stones to play stoop-front shows in my neighborhood? (I�m sure the Rolling Stones are expensive,

but surely a trillion dollars could cover a couple of songs.)

Obviously, our government could do those things, but it chooses not to. Earlier this month,

Louisiana sent eviction notices to 30,000 elderly people on Medicaid to kick them out

of their nursing homes. Yes, a country that can vomit trillions of dollars down a black

hole marked �Military� can�t find the money to take care of our poor elderly. It�s

a repulsive joke.

Twenty-one trillion.

Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates spoke about how no one knows where the money is

flying in the Pentagon. In a barely reported speech in 2011, he said, �My staff and I

learned that it was nearly impossible to get accurate information and answers to questions

such as, �How much money did you spend?� and �How many people do you have?� � They

can�t even find out how many people work for a specific department? Note for anyone

looking for a job: Just show up at the Pentagon and tell them you work there. It doesn�t

seem like they�d have much luck proving you don�t.

For more on this story, check out David DeGraw�s excellent reporting at ChangeMaker.media,

because the mainstream corporate media are mouthpieces for the weapons industry. They

are friends with benefits of the military-industrial complex. I have seen basically nothing from

the mainstream corporate media concerning this mysterious $21 trillion. I missed the

time when CNN�s Wolf Blitzer said that the money we dump into war and death � either

the accounted-for money or the secretive trillions - could end world hunger and poverty many

times over. There�s no reason anybody needs to be starving or hungry or unsheltered on

this planet, but our government seems hellbent on proving that it stands for nothing but

profiting off death and misery. And our media desperately want to show they stand for nothing

but propping up our morally bankrupt empire.

When the media aren�t actively promoting war, they�re filling the airwaves with shit,

so the entire country can�t even hear itself think. Our whole mindscape is filled to the

brim with nonsense and vacant celebrity idiocy. Then, while no one is looking, the largest

theft humankind has ever seen is going on behind our backs � covered up under the

guise of �national security.�

Twenty-one trillion.

Don�t forget.�

LeAnn Rimes & Brandi Glanville Feud is Over... Or Is It? Who Is This Troll? - Duration: 5:10.

So we all know how the story went...

Actor marries former model.

Country music star

marries backup dancer.

Actor and country music star film Lifetime movie together...

Rumors start flying, everyone gets divorced and the country music star

and actor live happily ever after.

Or if you didn't already know the story

singer LeAnn Rimes met actor Eddie Cibrian on the set of the Lifetime movie

Northern Lights. Rimes went on to divorce her backup dancer husband Dean Sheremet

and Cibrian's split from wife Brandi Glanville

created one of the most cheeky

Real Housewives ever.

Cibrian and Rimes then married in 2011.

Following her separation from Cibrian, Brandi Glanville told US Weekly

In the same year, Cibrian alleged that Brandi had slashed the tires on his

motorcycle which, she assured us, she most certainly had done.

Glanville told E! News

If you forgot the Underwood line, it goes: "Carve my name into

his leather seats.

I took a Louisville slugger to both

headlights, slashed a hole in all four tires. Maybe next time he'll think twice

before he cheats.

According to Glanville, Cibrian was

already a major cheat. In the 2013 book "Drinking & Tweeting and Other Brandi Blunders",

Glanville wrote

And the shade continued. Glanville explained to E! News she believes Cibrian and Rimes

wouldn't be together all that much longer saying, "In the state of California,

after ten years, you're entitled to half of everything that the other person has

and that's it. I really believe he's putting in his 10 years.

In a battle of Celebrity All-Star segment, Jay Leno once asked Glanville:

"Who is a little tramp?" to which she replied, "LeAnn Rimes."

The shade continued.

On March 19th, this year Brandi tweeted:

But then on April 17, she tweeted that the two had finally come to an end.

Well the feud isn't over for someone and someone on the Twittersphere is out to get LeAnn...

everyday.

As of today, this is Brandi's most recent Instagram.
