Yt News today: Youtube daily report Jun 18 2018

- [Narrator] On the heals of the Civil Rights Movement,

it was initially unclear how the United States Supreme Court

would handle gender-based classifications

under the Equal Protection Clause.

Enter Ruth Bader Ginsburg, then an attorney

for the American Civil Liberties Union,

Ginsburg helped win the case that would give the Court

its modern approach to gender-based classifications.

What was at the center of this landmark case?

Beer.

An Oklahoma statute permitted the sale of beer

with an alcohol content of 3.2% to 18-year old women.

But the same beer couldn't be purchased by men,

like Curtis Craig, who was over 18, but younger than 21.

If you were a man in Oklahoma,

you had to wait until you turned 21.

Along with a beer vendor, Craig challenged the beer statute.

Craig argued that the law's unequal treatment

of male and female beer drinkers was a gender-based

classification in violence of the Equal Protection Clause.

The district Court upheld the statute, and Craig appealed

directly to the United States Supreme Court.

The issue before the Court was whether a statute

that permits the sale of alcohol to women of a certain age,

but not to men of the same age,

violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

In an opinion authored by Justice Brennan, the Court held

that the statute's gender-based classification

violated the Equal Protection Clause.

Prior to this case, the Court generally used one

of two standards of review in equal-protection cases,

rational basis, a differential standard,

or strict scrutiny, a highly demanding standard.

In Craig's case, the Court held

that gender-based classifications must be evaluated

by a standard of review

that is in between rational basis and strict scrutiny.

This test is called intermediate scrutiny.

To satisfy this new standard,

the law must be substantially related

to furthering an important governmental objective.

Oklahoma argued that the important governmental objective

was to promote traffic safety.

In support, the state provided statistics to show

that the law furthered this objective.

The statistics showed that men between the ages of 18 and 20

were more likely than women of the same age

to drink and drive, be arrested for drunk driving,

and be killed in car accidents.

The Court recognized that promoting traffic safety

was an important governmental interest.

However, the statistics were inadequate to support

the state's claim that the gender-based classification

was substantially related to furthering that interest.

The Court noted that 2% of men and 0.18% of women

in the relevant age group were arrested

for driving violations involving alcohol.

According to the Court, this difference wasn't large enough

to justify a categorical classification based on gender.

Further, the state didn't present any statistics

focusing on the dangers presented by 3.2% beer,

as opposed to other types of alcohol,

further weakening the connection between the statute

and the state's interest.

The Court reversed the judgment of the district Court,

and struck down the law as unconstitutional.

Justice Powell wrote a concurring opinion to argue

that the correct standard of review

for gender-based classifications should be strict scrutiny

rather than intermediate scrutiny.

Applying strict scrutiny, Powell concluded

that the statute wasn't narrowly tailored

to the state's interest in promoting traffic safety.

Justice Burger wrote a dissenting opinion,

arguing that because gender-based classifications

aren't specifically prohibited by the constitution,

the standard of review should be rational basis.

Under this more deferential standard,

Justice Burger would have upheld the Oklahoma statute.

He reasoned that there was a rational relation

between the state's interest in promoting traffic safety

and the challenged classification because men

in the relevant age bracket were more likely

to drink and drive.

Justice Burger accused the majority of striking down

the statute simply because the majority found it unwise.

Justice Rehnquist also dissented, stating that

the rational basis standard is the proper standard

of scrutiny for gender-based classifications.

Justice Rehnquist explained that nothing

in the Court's previous cases, or the text

of the Equal Protection Clause,

or anywhere else in the constitution supported

the application of an intermediate standard of review

for gender-based classifications.

Craig versus Boren meaningfully altered

Equal Protection Clause jurisprudence

by introducing a third intermediate standard of review

for quasi-suspect classifications, such as gender.

The Court later expanded the intermediate scrutiny

to laws involving illegitimate children.

What Happens If You Drink Mercury? - Duration: 3:32.

Hey there, welcome to Life Noggin.

With summer approaching here in Blocko Land, I find myself constantly checking the thermometer

to see how hot it is.

Once it hits 25 degrees celcius, you better believe you can find me hanging out at the

beach, getting a tan, and playing volleyblock with my friends.

Now, even if this thermometer is filled with mercury, if it breaks, it won't be that

big of a deal.

But what about bigger quantities of mercury?

What would inhaling, ingesting, or even absorbing those do to you?

High levels of mercury exposure can wreak havoc on your nervous system and your brain.

One thing that makes mercury especially dangerous is that it can cross the blood brain barrier

and build up in the brain.

When mercury enters your system, it causes an increase in the amount of something called

reactive oxygen species.

These molecules damage DNA and are strongly linked to the onset of conditions like cancer

and neurodegenerative diseases like ALS, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's.

When it's consumed, mercury can start to accumulate in the heart as well as the brain.

Two places you probably don't want a toxic substance.

It's believed that when mercury builds up in this area, it can cause cardiomyopathy,

when the heart becomes enlarged and the tissue becomes thick and stiff.

This means that the heart can't function properly and it slowly begins to decline.

Another key system that suffers when you ingest, inhale or otherwise consume mercury?

Your kidneys.

These organs are vital in filtering blood and removing waste, but they're also a main

target for mercury.

The presence of this toxin has been linked to renal cancer and chronic renal disease,

which leads to a gradual loss of kidney function, digestive problems, and what the Mayo Clinic

calls "decreased mental sharpness", which kinda sounds like you'll just get dumb.

There's a whole slew of other effects of mercury poisoning too - like memory loss,

skin rash, insomnia, and loss of peripheral vision.

While small amounts of mercury are generally fine, heavy exposure causes all kinds of problems

for the body and the mind.

Interestingly, how you consume mercury and the specific type of mercury actually plays

a big part in how severe the effects will be.

The three main types of mercury are Elemental Mercury, Organic Mercury and Inorganic Mercury.

And they can be consumed in different ways - drank, eaten, inhaled, or absorbed through

the skin.

The severity of mercury exposure varies widely among these combinations.

For example, that silvery liquid form of mercury, Elemental Mercury, is so slippery that it'll

just slide through the stomach and intestines if it's swallowed.

It seems like the inhalation of mercury vapors is what's most harmful.

And mercury vapors are surprisingly prevalent.

People typically just think of thermometers and sushi when they think of mercury, but

the vaporized form of this element is also released by volcanic activity, mining operations,

earthquakes, and the burning of fossil fuels.

Poisons like mercury create a wide array of changes in the body depending on what the

toxin is.

People can suffer from seizures, fall unconscious, or enter an altered mental state.

Many of the symptoms of poisoning of any kind can resemble other conditions, making it hard

to know what's wrong unless you're a professional.

Of course, if you think you or someone else may have been poisoned by something, call

911 right away.

Have you ever suffered from mercury poisoning?

Let us know in the comments below.

D-Dome V & S-Dome V: Flachdach-Montagesysteme Generation V - Duration: 2:45.

Hello everyone!

That's Axel, he's got news for you!

You probably know our classics,

the S- and D-Dome System.

When they were introduced 6 years ago, they

set new standards for flat roof systems.

Up to then, flat roof systems

had been very complex to construct

due to many components.

With the Dome systems

we have massively reduced the components

and thus reduced the assembly time.

We were able

to omit the module support rail by means

of the corner clamping of the modules.

While S- and D-Dome have become the

most popular flat roof systems in Europe

our developers have set to work on

rethinking the Dome family

with the experience we have gained

and to develop improvements.

(This white coat I wear is only a prop.)

The key data should remain the same:

A modular system

with 10° elevation angle

in single- and double-sided design.

The result is S- and D-Dome V.

One of the most important innovations

is our new flexible

building protection mat «Mat V».

Due to its elasticity it absorbs

movements and balances them perfectly.

Specifically, this means,

that the mat achieves a significantly

higher coefficient of friction

and as a result

that the system requires even less ballast.

The geometry of the mat

compensates thermal expansion.

The new mat is made of EPDM

and is free of soluble substances that

could affect or impair the roof covering.

It is only available

in one standard size –

which is why Marcel from logistics

is also really excited about it.

Also, with the ballasting

a lot has changed.

The rails themselves

serve as a robust ballast tray,

so no additional accessories are required.

The suitable clamp is the MiniClamp.

It has a clamping range of 30–50 mm

and is extremely easy to handle.

It is also compatible

with our MiniRail system –

saving you storage space

and therefore transport costs.

Excellent!

Lars, are we on yet?

Already done!

The Dome V systems are already integrated

into our online tool Base On.

You can start planning right away

working with all known functionalities.

If you have further technical questions

about the S- and D-Dome V,

want to know,

how to integrate them into your project

or just want to get to know us,

just give us a call or send us an e-mail!

We are looking forward to meet you!

good day everyone time now for weather news in general with j7409 the name

you know the news you can use. so far is this little system right here I'm not

doing a tropical update right now but it has been dropped back down to 10% and

it's so close to the shoreline now it's probably not even going to turn into a

tropical depression but much much rain this map courtesy of tropical tidbits

let's turn her on and get her going lots to talk about now a cold front is

forecast to make its way into the Northeast United States today and

tonight and continue into the northern mid-atlantic tomorrow now a law and

ahead of this front thunderstorms are expected for the Northeast and there's a

slight risk of both severe weather and flash flooding for that region today and

tonight now as the front progresses southward storms will spread into the

mid-atlantic by tomorrow farther west the front is stalled and

thus will continue to linger across the Ohio Valley middle Mississippi Valley

and central plains multiple rounds of rain and thunderstorms are expected for

these areas along and north of the front a moderate risk of extensive and

excessive rainfall flash flooding is in effect for the central plains tomorrow

as a low pressure system along the front begins to strengthen and storms

elsewhere in those regions could also contain flash flooding and be strong to

severe today and tomorrow so keep your eyes on your skies in those areas now

even farther west the northern rockies and northern i planes are expecting rain

and thunderstorms today and tomorrow with an upper-level low in the area this

rain of an inch or two could lead to some flooding there and cooler than

average temperatures are in the forecast for you guys

west of the Northern Rockies and northern high plains now a trough of low

pressure this is what everybody's looking at is forecast to linger near

Texas coast over the next couple of days and it's going to be raining all week

off and on okay and this is combined with high levels of moisture in the

atmosphere that will lead to several inches of rain there this ring could be

beneficial for areas that are in drought but flash flooding is possible in some

locations where the thunderstorms produce a high rainfall rate or train

over one area south of the front sure hot hot hot hot

temperatures and high humidity will lead to heat indices over 100 degrees in

portions of the middle Mississippi Valley and Ohio Valley as well as into

the mid-atlantic today heat advisories are widespread throughout all of these

areas with extensive heat warnings remaining three today for the cities of

st. Louis and Chicago if this is your first time visiting please subscribe

Rare Secrets of 9th House Sunil Ghaisas [Eng Subtitles' - Duration: 19:55.

Music.

Greetings to all.

Today we are going to know about a very good house of the zodiac.

Both people who have faith in astrology and who doesn't believe in astrology say one thing in common, what ever results they are getting because of their own karma.

But many a times we see in the society people who have lot of capabilities and hard workers yet they do not get to reach their ultimate goal easily.

Such persons would say i did the best what ever i could do even then i'm not getting desired results.

I'm doing my best with in my capabilities still i'm not getting proper results. Which means there needs to be something more done regarding karma to get the desired results.

In order to get 100% +ve results if we perform actions which includes dharma then person's luck will increase and gets good support from his good deeds and luck thus becomes automatically successful.

That is why among the 12 houses 9th house is called good house or important house. It is known as 'Bhagya' , the house of Wealth, Luck and Prosperity.

Generally we say we do everything but our luck is what we carry forward from our past life deeds.

Which means what ever is written in our fate only that happens.

Even people who don't believe in astrology, they simply say "I'm successful because of my luck, if i don't get success because it's not at all written in my fate.

So it is very important to understand 9th house (the house of luck). You'll come to know how important this for one to become successful.

As per 'Jataka Parijata' book person's luck will entirely dependent on 9th house.

'Guru Dharma ka Baha'. Which means when you do good deeds you'll get good results.

Whether the society would appreciate one's actions or not, whether the person is doing good deeds or not all these can be seen from 9th house.

As per the verse 9th house is the accumulated karmas (sanchita karma) of the past life.

If we would have done good deeds in our past lives we will get good results in this life. This is called sanchita karma. This can be seen from 9th house.

The verse also says "It tells are you going to do more good deeds related to god or guru". If one already have the blessings of god that can be seen through 9th house.

People who are religious often say by god's grace or by the blessing of my parents i got all this success.

We can also see father from the 9th house as per the astrology. How is one's relationship with father can be seen from 9th house.

And 9th from 9th house is 5th house.

We call 5th house as 'Atmaja', which has created from one's own self.

As people might often say either my child made me proud or ruined my name. This can be seen from 5th house.

When we talked about 5th house we've learned that results for 5th house also coming from the luck of past deeds.

Whether one's child is good or bad it is all written in one's fate. I'll give my child good parenting but i don't know how the kid is going to reciprocate it good or bad.

Same way to get a good father is also happens by fate and to get a good child also happens due to one's good fate or luck. These two are interlinked.

More than 'Jataka Parijata', 'Jatakabharanam' book mentioned about 9th house profoundly.

As per the verse, 9th house tells about dharma of a person. It tells if a person is truly religious or not, do they believe in god or not.

It also says..

How much help does a person gets from luck.

It also tells about person's clean character. How is one's morals and values etc.

It also tells about one's pilgrimage and travel. We all travel, sometimes with family, sometimes to visit holy places.

How much are we really interested in religious travels and how much can we actually do this all can be seen from 9th house.

Like people say "I'm so lucky it is in my fate", if they happen to visit Varanasi (Benaras) or they visit Ganges river.

Some people go all around the world but they never get to visit Kashi (Benaras). They feel like going there but somehow they can't go there. It all depends on 9th house luck.

It also says...

How much one gets the result of their good deeds. By going to temple one will get good karma but some other will get same good karma by sharing their knowledge and wisdom. This can be seen from 9th house.

9th house also represents one's higher education. Regular education is seen from 5th house but higher education like masters and professional degree we see that through 9th house.

If you look at people who is professionally successful their primary education might not be good all the time. But when they come to higher education they might have done well. For that strong 9th house must be there.

If you look at natural 9th house Sagittarius comes under this. It's owner is Jupiter and we all know Jupiter means good.

All the good things and deeds can be seen from 9th house.

University studies, Researches all can be seen from 9th house.

And 9th house comes under Dharma trine. 1st house, 5th house and 9th house comes under Dharma Trine.

What is the meaning of Dharma?

Doing right thing at right time is know as dharma.

I'll give you one example out side of the context.

There is so much said about Dharma. But i'll tell you one example we can easily relate with.

'Dnyaneshwar Maharaj' parents were excluded by the society those times. The reason behind it was..

At those times people used to follow 4 types of varnaashrama tradition. They are brahmacharya, grihasta, vanaprastha and sanyasa ashram. These have to be followed in the same sequence it is a religious belief.

But they did it in a different manner. First they took brahmacharya, grihata and then they skipped vanaprastha and took sanyasa ashram. But later they again came back to vanaprastha ashram due to some situations.

They had broken the normal sequence so that society eliminated them thinking that it is against dharma.

So dharma means doing right thing at the right time.

How can we apply this technique for current situations i'll give you one suitable example.

When male and female come together they give birth to a child it is natural and dharma by nature.

If it happens after marriage we say it is good dharma. But if it happens before marriage we treat the same as shame and against dharma.

People abuse such deeds and persons who ever dare to go against dharma.

So it is better to understand what is dharma. It is doing right thing at the right time.

To understand dharma better we must have good 9th house. Our guru should be good so he will teach us what is the right dharma, what is good and bad. It is also said If we do good deeds we get proper results.

And it is also said we can see our brother's wife from 9th house.

Brother is seen from 3rd house so naturally his wife is seen from 7th from 3rd house which is 9th house.

We can also see persons good nature from 9th house.

Also a person is pure hearted or not can be seen from this house.

We can also see gains from our children. We see children from 5th house, 9th house is 5th from 5th house. So we see gains related to children from here.

We can also see our grandson from 9th house because it is 5th from 5th house which represent children of children.

In our tradition it is believed that, how far the lineage goes/passes that good it is. If 5th house is good and 9th house is not good enough then your child will be good but he/she might not carry forward the lineage. That can also be seen from 9th house.

So this way we can see and understand different things related to our luck, prosperity and the good qualities added to our personality. All these can be known from 9th house.

If we look at the planetary aspects jupiter is the natural significator of the house.

So if jupiter is in 9th house he gives good results, sun also gives good results. Moon also gives good results. Any good planet here gives good results.

If saturn is here person will get luck and prosperity little late due to the nature of Saturn in delaying things.

If venus is in 9th house luck and prosperity might happen due to females or opposite sex.

Combining all these factors one can truly judge and estimate the true results of 9th house what is good and what is bad.

Once it is known then we can improve our good actions and reduce our bad actions then obviously we can grow forward.

Same thing we learn in 'Rajayoga'. Thank you.

Yes, if rahu or ketu is in 9th house we can know about our grandfather. Rahu represents our grandfather.

One more thing i've also seen in many horoscopes if rahu or ketu happens to be in this access (9th and 3rd) such people will get success after they go far from home. 4th house is home 3rd is 12th from 4th house and 10th house is profession and 9th house is 12th from 10th so such person's luck will only improve after they go far from home and start working distant.

Thank you.

90s FLASHBACK! Do You Remember these Things? - Duration: 10:11.

A lot of us have seen the 90s.

It was a good time, with many new things coming and changing the way we lived!

But of course, as is always the case, the good times don't really last all that long.

But there are still many memories!

So lets take a look at some of the things from the 90s that aren't around anymore!

23.

Floppy Discs.

1.44 mb of data does not sound like much these days.

But in the 90s, that was a whole lot of space!

And so were the floppy discs which revolutionised the way we shared data.

But there was more to it.

Pulling back on the metal slider head and hearing its cracking sound was a guilty pleasure

many of us enjoyed!

Not to mention the number of jokes that it gave us unintentionally through its name itself!

22.

Video Tapes.

There was something special about lining up in stores to get the tapes of the latest movies

and cartoons!

From kids to grown ups, getting a tape was a big deal!

Friends and family would gather together to watch them and every so often, it would get

wound up in the player!

But that aside, they were always a great experience!

21.

8 Bit Video Games.

Donkey Kong, Super Mario, Contra and many more are things that may still be around today

but the real pleasure of playing them was on a gaming console with cartridges!

The best part was that if there were any glitches all you had to do was take out the cartridge

and give it a nice blow!

Problem solved!

While there is no doubt that playstations and xbox are still fun, they lack the old

world charm of a Super Nintendo!

20.

Walkman.

Cool got a new definition with the advent of the Walkman from Sony.

It gave everyone so much freedom of being able to walk around with their music!

It was hard to spot a kid without a Walkman in the 90s.

Sharing cassettes and headphone were the only reason to have friends back then!

19.

Discman.

Of course, the Walkman was slowly phased out as CDs became more popular!

It could hold more songs, was much more portable and even the quality was better!

So of course, the discman was the next logical step after the Walkman.

And it taught many of us the value of not being too restless as even the smallest movements

could lead to the skipping!

Still, they were a great way to rock out to music!

18.

Dial up Modems.

As you are watching this video, you probably do not even realize how much the internet

has improved over the years.

Many of us have spent time sitting in front of a computer and waiting for the dial up

modem to connect us to the internet.

And they sure did take their own time!

But once connected, they gave us access to a whole new world which was unheard of at

that time!

17.

Pokemon Camera.

Before the hunt for pokemons actually began in real life, there were these bright little

camera that were around in the 90s which would superimpose random pokemons on all the pictures!

It was a pretty good way to spend an afternoon with the kids making them wonder where all

those pokemons came from!

16.

Typewriter.

These were the ultimate tool, whether you worked in the office or were an author!

There was something oddly satisfying about the keys hitting the paper and you could never

be enamoured enough with those few who could type at insane speeds!

There was just something magical about those people!

Not to mention the whirring sound as you pushed the paper back for the next line!

15.

Pagers.

Before the advent of the mobile phones, getting hold of people was actually a huge task.

You would either have to call them on a landline or fix a time to meet.

And if by any chance there was any sudden change in plans, all you could do was hope

the others weren't offended.

Then came along the pager, which could be carried around and could get messages on them!

It was a great step towards communicating with one another, and was a very handy thing

to have around.

Before whatsapp of course!

14.

Digital Diary.

While it was not possible for everyone to afford a secretary and carrying a notepad

around wasn't really in good fashion, there was the digital diary which you could keep!

These nifty little things could hold everything from your appointments, to-do lists and even

let you make notes!

And while the smart phones have actually made it redundant, it was all the rage back in

the 90s!

13.

Light up Yoyos.

Nowadays kids are into digital things like phones and console games.

But there was a time when a walk around the neighbourhood was one of the best things to

do.

Of course, swag was still important back then which meant that you would see many kids with

a light up yoyo!

If you could master the Yo-yo, you were undoubtedly cool and if you happened to have a flashing

one which could make nights more interesting, you were definitely the King of Swag!

12.

Flip Phones.

These babies were all the rage back in the day.

It looked uber cool to take out a phone, flip it open and then talk!

But it did come with its drawbacks though as these phones were extremely vulnerable

to breaking!

Sadly, with the advent of touch screen phones, no one really remembers these flip ones anymore!

11.

Answering Machines.

Whenever you are not able to receive a call, people can generally leave a message on the

voice mail which you can hear later.

But no one has seen where these voice mails are actually stored because they are digital.

But back in the day, there were answering machines which actually recorded the messages

and you had to record your own message to let those calling know that you cant attend

the phone!

Crazy, right?

10.

Smoking Ads.

Even as kids, there was nothing as remarkable as the Marlboro man.

Or any of the other people in smoking ads of old.

Even though all of us knew at some level that smoking was harmful, there were many kids

who took up smoking just because of the ads!

So in a way, it was actually the right call to ban smoking ads!

Macarena.

If you lived in the 90s and did not know how to do the Macarena, you were a geek!

There was no other way that you would not know how to move to the beats of this awesome

song and while it may still be a rage at retro parties, it is sad that most kids today do

not know the Macarena!

WWF Trump Cards.

While trading cards might still be around, there was no greater fun for a kid in the

90s than playing trump cards where they would pit one wrestler against another!

It was the simplest of games and one really great time pass!

Oh and yes, the WWE was WWF back then!

TV Antennas.

If you have looked at old photos of television and see two rabbit ears protruding from them,

they were basically TV antennas.

These were essential for the TV to display any picture and every house had one person

who was designated to moving it around till you got the best picture!

It was annoying, but it was a family tradition!

But with the advent of digital television, the antennas made an exit though!

Cordless.

Telephones were usually kept in the living room and many houses did not really have extensions.

Which meant that if you needed privacy during a phone call, you either had to shoo everyone

out of the room or get a really long wire!

But all that changed with the cordless phones which allowed you to move around freely while

talking on the phone!

But they have become obsolete since the coming of the mobile phones and if you ever happen

to see one, save it as a treasure!

Mixtape.

Till date, thinking of the perfect gift for the one you love is a difficult thing to do!

But in the golden days of the 90s the solution was pretty simple.

A Mixtape!

What it meant was that you could get hold of a blank cassette and record all the songs

that you think express your feelings best and gift it to your girlfriend or boyfriend!

And while mixtapes went out with the cassettes, you can kind of do the same thing by making

a playlist but it just isn't the same thing, is it?

Boy Bands.

Ok so while nobody would ever actually admit today that they loved boy bands, there is

no denying that all of us were pretty crazy about them.

Not only could they sing, they could also dance and look good while doing it!

And their music was the kind of thing that would make you jump on the dance floor straight

away!

But of course, we cant really admit that we liked them can we?

Especially not the guys!

Maps.

Ok, to be fair they are still pretty much around and are still used a good deal.

But that is only in places where the internet is not a sure thing.

Maps were pretty much a part and parcel of any road trip and you really could not step

out without it.

Reading it was not everyone's forte and so there were designated navigationists!

Not like the ones today who just turn up the volume on their phone and let google maps

do the rest!

Limewire.

While something similar exists today in the form of torrents, there is no denying that

nothing gave us as much pleasure as a file getting downloaded back in the day when a

movie took about a few days to download!

Not that we are saying you should download anything through these places, but if you

were inclined to do so in the 90s, limewire and a couple of other places were the only

things that you could hope for!

Film.

Memories are always a special way to remember something.

And while selfies and camera phone still do that, there was something extra special about

the cameras of the 90s which had to use film.

It was a painstakingly meticulous process to load the camera with the roll and then

each photo had to be just right because clicking away randomly cost money!

Oh and not to mention once the pictures had been taken, you still had to wait for some

time before you could see them as they had to be developed first!

Great Mattress for Relieving Back Pain, Shoulder Pain & Hip Pain - Ask Doctor Jo - Duration: 7:51.

hey everybody it's Doctor Jo, and the folks at SleepOvation sent me their

California king mattress, and yes this is a California king. so let's take a look.

oh hey everybody so as you can see I've had about a month to try out the sleep

ovation bed, and it is awesome. you if you watched some of my videos you

might know I've had shoulder surgery. I've had hip surgery. I need a one on

this side, I need one on this side, and so I am always a little skeptical about

beds of how comfortable they are going to be. cuz I'm a side sleeper. and so one

of the coolest things about the sleep SleepOvation is it has 700 little

individual cushions. so instead of like a memory foam where you sink all the way,

in it only sinks in where you need it to. so for me, I have a lot of hip pain when

I'm sleeping, my shoulders as well. but when I was on a memory foam, and it was a

brand name memory foam bed, I just kind of sink all the way in and it wouldn't

quite get what I needed to. but for the nights that I've sleep slept on this bed

already, what happens is just kind of where my hip is where I need that extra

support, and where it's not poking into my hip, it sinks and because of those

individual cushion pieces in there. so since there's so many, you know it works

at your hip because it goes in deeper. it works in your shoulder because it

goes in deeper. especially if you're a side sleeper. if you're a back sleeper

then it comes up and it supports your spine. so that is just amazing. and it's

it's nice and squishy, but it's not so squishy where once you go in you sink in

and you can't get out. like as soon as I get up, then it springs back up. there's

no space where I've been. there's no indention that stays which is really

important because it's only supporting you when you need the support. it's not

then staying in one spot and then you move, but that spot's still sunk in. so I

really like that. and that's really helped take away the pain. I haven't had

any more hip pain, my shoulders are probably about 80% better which is about

the three to four weeks that I've slept on it. so that's a huge difference

because then you can sleep through the night. you're not waking up in the middle of the night,

and then having to get back to sleep. another big important thing that I love

about this bed is I get really really hot when I'm sleeping, like sweating. you

know just very uncomfortable. I like, I like to be cold and I like to cover up

in the sheets, and so again like a memory foam bed or other kind of beds, I don't

want to just knock memory foam, but you get really really hot when you're sleeping. And

the lot of times, specifically with the memory foam, it kind of holds in the heat.

I had a memory foam topper for a while on my own bed and it was just no good. so

with the individual cushions what allows that for, is the air to flow through. so

those hot pockets don't just get stuck in the bed. so another thing that I think

I've slept so well through the night is because I don't get hot like I used to,

and that to me is really really important because we're supposed to cool

down at night. you know you get a better night's sleep

if you sleep a little bit cooler. they've done research and it's proven for that.

so this is really really awesome in the fact that it does that. so as you can see

here, like as I'm sitting, I'm kind of scooted in like that, but as soon as I

move it pops back up versus if that was a memory foam, that divot would stay

there for a little while until it slowly comes back up. so that's what's really

cool about that. also you can see there's a zipper all the way around here, and so

it's nice because if this top layer were to get dirty, you can unzip it and wash

that and then not mess up the mattresses. so so I really like that component, and

you can see when I'm here it's dipped in kind of where my hips and my buttocks is,

but here at my spine it's supporting it. so that's really nice. if I am to lie on

my side, you can see here where it dips in a little bit more where the pressure

points are, but it's still supporting me right here. so a couple of the videos you

might have seen that I've shown you know, you rolling up some towels or you know

the pillows and things like that to make your pillow fort. well you can do that,

but this bed really helps where you don't have to have a lot of extras with

it. you can just get a really good night's sleep. so what I also want to

show real quick for you is what you can do in the mornings when you first get up.

a couple easy stretches to do. it's really nice in this bed.

again even though it does kind of sink into the places where you wanted to, you

can do some of these stretches pretty easily even before you get up out of bed.

so then it kind of helps you get loose kind of helps your blood get flowing in

the morning. so it's a really nice thing to do. I'm gonna kind of flip my pillow

over this way just so you can kind of see a good angle, but let's say if I'm

asleep in in bed and I wake up, I would just roll over onto my back kind of prop

my knees up like this and just start off with a simple pelvic tilt. so I'm just

rolling my pelvis back trying to flatten out my back, but I'm using my hips to do

that instead of trying to push with my feet. that's not really what I'm trying

to do. I'm trying to get just those core muscles kind of woken up in the morning.

so just a couple of these maybe five-ten just to kind of help get everything

loosened up. if your backs a little sore in the morning this is a great way to

start. and then the next one is just going into a bridge. so that I usually

kind of flatten out my hands, put your feet you know about hip width apart, and

then just come up into the bridge. and so you can see it's supporting me very well.

if I was on another mattress, sometimes you would sink. and I have a lot of

people tell me I can't really do bridges or things on my bed because I just sink

right in, and I can't get into that bridge position. but you can see here I

could do that pretty easily and then come back down. so again you know just

just five or ten to get you moving. you don't have to do a whole lot. and then

the last thing I usually do before I get my bed is just a little trunk rotation.

so then I bring my knees together my feet my knees and just kind of now

stretch it out from side to side. so you don't have to do a full stretch it

doesn't have to be thirty Seconds, but I'd maybe hold it five or ten seconds on

each side and then maybe do five each way. and so you're getting a nice stretch.

again this mattress does a great job of you to be able to do that because you're

not sinking in and staying in like a little hole. it's just kind of protecting

you all the way around. so that does a really nice job and then you can just

kind of pop up on the edge of the bed.

you happen to have, you know, maybe some hip and some knee issues, you can even

just do a couple knee lifts when you're sitting on the edge of the bed. and

getting going. and so that doesn't take much, but it kind of gets that blood

flowing. again if you have a nice mattress like the sleep ovation it's

going to give you a really good night's sleep. and it's so important especially

if you have injuries or if you're hurting. sleeping is when our bodies

recover, so if you're not getting good sleep, you have a harder time recovering.

so getting a good mattress is one of the best steps to start off with. so if

you're interested in purchasing the sleep ovation, make sure you click on the

remember be safe have fun and I hope you feel better soon.

Lounge Suit Dress Code + History, what to wear, dos & don'ts - Gentleman's Gazette - Duration: 8:03.

Welcome back to the Gentleman's Gazette!

Have you ever gotten an invitation that stated lounge suit as a dress code?

Have you ever wondered why those two terms are combined together and what it means for

your outfit?

If so, this is the video for you.

Today, we discuss the terminology, lounge suit, what it means, where it comes from,

most importantly, what you should wear and not wear when the invitation asks for lounge

suit.

By the way, this is a series of different dress codes so if you ever come across something

and you don't know what to wear, come to our channel, search for it, and you'll find the

answer.

So what is a lounge suit?

First of all, with two words lounge and suit, suit means you have a matching pair of pants

and a jacket.

It comes from the French term suivre which means to follow.

So your jacket follows your pants, your pants follow your jacket.

A suit is not a combination, meaning a jacket like a blazer or an orphaned suit jacket that

is then combined with a contrasting pair of pants or a different color or pattern.

Now sometimes, people also wear a dark blue pair of slacks with a dark blue jacket but

they're not made of the same fabric and that's not a suit either.

So when you have a suit, make sure the fabric is the same for the jacket and for the pants.

Today, when people think of a lounge they assume a more casual outfit and a suit to

them is a more formal outfit.

In fact, for most men out there, wearing a suit is likely the most formal garment they

will wear on a regular day-to-day basis.

Now that we got that squared away, what is a lounge suit?

The term lounge suit was coined in the beginnings of the early 20th century.

At that time, a regular suit was rather casual and so that's what you would wear to a lounge,

so obviously, things haven't changed in the sense that lounges were considered casual

yet the whole formality scale of clothes was very different.

In those times, Gentlemen mostly wear frock coats, as well as morning coats, and a lounge

suit was a new casual kid on the block.

So today, when it says lounge suit, don't be confused.

You actually have to wear a dark suit that is rather formal and very similar to what

you wear when a dress code would call for business attire or if you'd go to a funeral.

To learn more about funerals, watch where and how to behave, please check out this video

here.

If you're interested in business attire or what business casual means, please check out

this video.

Most of the time, you'll find a lounge suit dress code on written invitations, for example,

you're invited at the Embassy or let's say at Buckingham Palace.

So what exactly should you wear when the dress code calls for a lounge suit?

Basically, a dark suit with a necktie.

It can either be single-breasted or double-breasted, a two-piece suit or a three-piece suit, to

learn how a suit should fit, please check out this video series here.

Unlike the dress code black tie, which is very formal and very distinct and you can

learn all about it in to this video here, the lounge suit dress code gives you a little

more flexibility and room to mix up your outfit.

For ladies, lounge suit means either a cocktail dress or some form of a gown.

For color, you should go with either navy or charcoal, maybe dark grey or even a form

of charcoal brown can work, stay clear of any bright and loud colors.

Subtle patterns like a pinpoint are okay, maybe a very subtle non-contrasting houndstooth,

maybe a faint stripe, but I would stay clear of wide rope stripes or big contrasting white

stripes in a dark background because that's too loud for a lounge suit dress code.

Likewise, stay clear of very casual suits, other materials such as tweed or bold patterns

with a very casual structure and texture.

The suit should always be worn with a necktie; it can be a regular classic necktie or if

you want to, also a bow tie.

Stay clear of ascots or an open neck since it's too formal of an occasion to go without

proper neckwear.

In terms of patterns, keep it classic and conservative, meaning go with maybe a blue

tie, a red tie, or something in darker shades.

Stay clear of the bright orange or yellow ties.

For your shirt, a plain solid white or a plain solid light blue are your best options.

Patterned shirts should be avoided, checked shirts or anything that is quite bold such

as blue and white stripes.

The collar of your shirt should be a classic turndown collar.

The spread can vary and it depends a bit on your face.

With a rounder face, you can go for a smaller spread and a bigger collar.

With an oval face, you can have a more spread collar but you definitely want to avoid a

button-down collar since it would be too casual.

The goal is to look appropriate and respectful without being flashy.

So for shoes, that means go with a pair of Oxfords, maybe some derbies in either black,

a form of brown, or maybe dark burgundy.

Stay clear of loafers, casual textures such as suede or full brogues since that would

be not formal enough.

In terms of the rest of your accessories, go with over the calf socks so you don't reveal

your bare skin.

If you want a pocket square, you can go with one.

Try to keep it muted, the classic white linen pocket square with hand rolled edges is probably

your best bet and you can find it in our shop here.

I also suggest you go with a more conservative fold such as the TV fold I'm wearing here

right now, not the crown fold or something more flashy.

You can wear any form of a micropattern tie, meaning small pattern, which are very formal

and elegant.

For a selection of lounge suit appropriate ties, please check out our store here.

Personally, I would avoid a boutonniere and if you wear a belt, make sure it matches the

color of your shoes.

If you wear suspenders or braces, they don't have to mention because likely you're not

going to see them.

So in today's video, I am wearing a typical outfit would be appropriate when a dress code

called for a lounge suit.

it's a dark navy single breasted suit two button with two side vents it's a worsted

wool it's a little heavier and it drapes well I have regular pants with cuffs that are pleated

a white shirt with barrel cuffs you could also opt for French cuffs or double cuffs

with cufflinks my tie is a red and blue with buff tones a madder silk tie from Fort Belvedere

which you can find in our shop here the pocket square is a white linen pocket square with

a TV fold that goes well with my shirt and underlines the serious and respectful solace

that the allowance of dress code requires my socks are over the calf in Navy with a

little bit of yellow and the stripe is a shadow stripe that works with any kind of navy suit

and you can find them in our shop here.

my shoes are black semi brogues which are just formal enough a full brogue would not

have worked a quarter brogue will work as well as a plain cap toe Oxford whilst wearing

a pinky ring in rose gold with a bloodstone which is dark and works well with my entire

outfit.

TREY GOWDY UNLEASHES HELL – STUNS DC WITH ANNOUNCEMENT - Duration: 10:53.

TREY GOWDY UNLEASHES HELL – STUNS DC WITH ANNOUNCEMENT

Republican Rep. Trey Gowdy went off on former FBI Director James Comey this week, saying

that he is distorting the definition of an information "leak" to suit his own purposes.

The Daily Caller reported that Gowdy told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Thursday night

that Comey was twisting the facts in an interview with Fox's Bret Baier earlier that evening.

During this interview, Comey claimed that he had not really "leaked" his memos of

meetings with President Donald Trump to the media and that he instead simply shared personal

correspondence that was no different than a private "diary."

Gowdy wasn't having any of it, however, and the South Carolina congressman said that

Comey "has a definition of the word leak that no one else has."

"What he says is a leak is what the rest of us call a felony," Gowdy insisted.

"Leaking is disclosing a confidential conversation, which is exactly what he did."

Comey is currently being investigated by the Justice Department's inspector general,

who is trying to ascertain whether Comey complied with agency policy in the handling of information

that was found to be classified in some of the memos he wrote about his conversations

with Trump.

This comes days after Gowdy slammed Comey as a hypocrite for his attacks on Trump, saying

that "everyone" should know what is in memoranda written by Comey that purportedly

chronicles his meetings with Trump.

Gowdy explained that in Comey's new book and the interviews he is doing to promote

it, the former FBI head talks about his "morality, ethics and truth" but simultaneously "engage[s]

in more relativism than any book author I've seen in a long time."

The Republican lawmaker pointed out that Comey considers Trump "unfit for office" because

of alleged untoward actions and untruths, yet "gloats" about his own family fervently

supporting Hillary Clinton in 2016 and calling his deputy, Andrew McCabe, a victim.

Gowdy said that according to Comey, "All three engaged in the same conduct."

Why is Zlatan Ibrahimovic not playing for Sweden at the World Cup? Reasons explained - Duration: 5:44.

Why isn't Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the World Cup? Former Manchester United striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic retired from Sweden duty in 2016 following the European Championships

That's after scoring 62 goals in 116 appearances for the Scandinavian nation. In a statement at the time he said: "It feels heavy

It feels disappointing but at the same time I enjoyed it. We had the possibility of playing in the European Championships, I represented Sweden at this tournament so at the same time I am proud

SWEDEN V SOUTH KOREA HIT BY SPYING ROW "This was my last game and I have many fantastic memories of the national team

It is a nice story as where I came from, what people called the little ghetto, I made the country my country

Sweden." However, he hinted he may return to the international fold for the World Cup this summer

"I miss the national team. If I want, I do it. I want to feel I can deliver a good performance," he said

"We'll see, it's a tough question. I want to feel that I can perform and give back

I don't want to come just because I'm somebody. The door isn't closed for anything

" However, it turned out to be merely a protracted commercial campaign. The 36-year-old has flown out to Russia where he is working for card company VISA

He tweeted a picture of himself with super agent Mino Raiola last week and said: "Now the World Cup can officially begin #minoraiola

" The image got more than 1.1m likes on the site.What has the Sweden manager said about Zlatan Ibrahimovic? Ibrahimovic still dominates conversation around the team even though coach Janne Andersson has been keen to move the narrative on

"This is incredible! This player has stopped to play with Sweden one year and a half ago and we are still here talking about him," Andersson said after Sweden upset Italy in November's playoffs to return to the World Cup field for the first time since 2006

"Gosh, we need to talk about the great players we have in this team I believe." Ibrahimovic has been in Russia this week where he has posed for selfies with fans and been pictured with agent Mino Raiola

But Andersson again reiterated his stance that Ibrahimovic has nothing to do with the Swedish side

He told a news conference: "I became the head coach almost exactly two years ago, after the Euros, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, together with a number of others, chose to announce they were leaving the national team

"I respected that and that was the end point of his extraordinary career for Sweden

He hasn't had any involvement whatsoever with the team since. Zlatan Ibrahimovic - what do Swedish fans think? Unfazed by the absence of their greatest player Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Swedish fans believe the team may be more cohesive without him and could start the World Cup with a bang

Ibrahimovic scored 62 goals in 116 games for Sweden, matching that dominance with a larger-than-life personality and ego but he retired from international duty before the qualifiers, and, despite speculation he could reverse his decision, there was to be no comeback for Russia

"We were second at the 1958 World Cup, third in 1994. Now we're coming first - yes, even without Zlatan!" said ebullient fan Nicklas Haellman, 38, predicting a 5-0 win for the Sweden in their opener against South Korea on Monday

"He was the best we ever had. We all love him. But now he is too busy making commercials to play for us

" While not sharing quite such heady expectations, compatriots at a sun-baked fan zone in Nizhny Novgorod where Monday's game will be played, agreed there was life after Zlatan for Sweden

"Now it is more of a team effort," said Magnus Hurtig, 35. "And of course it is Forsberg's time now to shine," he added of Emil Forsberg, the pacy winger who has inherited Ibrahimovic's No

10 shirt and is Sweden's main attacking threat. Proudly wearing the yellow Swedish shirt in anticipation of Monday's game, Marcus Karlsson confessed he had some split loyalties

He recently married a South Korean woman and was just back from holiday there. "The Koreans are not very hopeful

They think their team is pretty bad!" he laughed while watching Saturday's France v Australia game at the fan zone
