[♪ INTRO]
Not to get too up-close and personal here, but right now, there are
3 billion pairs of DNA molecules inside each of your cells.
That's how many base pairs make up the human genome.
Together, they code for every single thing that makes us who we are,
as members of our species, and as individuals.
If you think of each pair of molecules as a byte of computer memory, it's a little
like fitting an entire person on less hard drive space than you'd need for an HD movie.
Turns out 3 billion base pairs is actually a pretty typical genome size for a eukaryote,
an organism with a nucleus in its cells.
But there are a few plants and animals with genomes so huge they
completely blow this number out of the water.
And we're not totally sure why.
So far, we've found 10 species with genomes of over 100 billion base pairs,
including a few lungfish, salamanders, flowering plants, and a fern.
Based on the giant genomes we know about, it looks like there's an upper size limit
of around 150 billion base pairs, and for good reason.
Beyond that, there are just too many problems involved in maintaining all that DNA:
the energy cost of making it, the need for really big cells to store it in,
and the fact that cell duplication takes a really long time.
But even 100 billion base pairs takes an enormous amount of maintenance.
And we're still figuring out exactly how and why these species ended up with so much DNA.
You might think a larger genome would allow for a more complex organism.
I mean, that's usually how it works with computer data.
But the organisms with the biggest genomes aren't especially complex.
As cool as it is that lungfish have both lungs and gills,
they don't need a genome 33 times the size of ours to code for that.
In fact, it seems like more DNA doesn't mean more unique genes.
Sequencing an entire giant genome is really hard,
so we haven't been able to do a lot of analysis so far.
But researchers have found that huge genomes contain a lot of repetitive sequences and non-coding DNA.
One way genomes balloon in size is polyploidy,
the accidental duplication of an organism's entire set of chromosomes during reproduction.
Most organisms, us included, are diploid, meaning we have two sets of chromosomes.
Duplication beyond this usually messes up animal genomes beyond repair.
But plants that end up with extra copies of all of their chromosomes can often manage just fine.
They can carry right on with the mutation, pass it on to their offspring, and continue to thrive.
Maybe because their structures are more flexible than those of animals.
An extra branch here or there isn't the catastrophe that an extra arm could be.
Some of these plants with especially giant genomes are actually octoploid.
That's eight sets of chromosomes!
Even though polyploidy isn't really a thing in animals, our genomes do have sequences
called transposable elements that frequently duplicate themselves and jump
from one spot in the genome to another.
Animals with huge genomes, like those weird salamanders and lungfish,
have probably built up a lot of sequences like this over time.
They eventually get deactivated if they're not being used,
but they still sit there and add to the total genome length.
Usually, genome expansion is balanced out by other forces that encourage downsizing,
like when a chunk of DNA is swapped out for a shorter segment from another chromosome.
In fact, even though a tiny minority of flowering plants have enormous genomes,
some scientists think that pruning the size of their genomes is what allowed
flowering plants to take over the world.
It made their cells smaller, which let them pack more equipment for photosynthesis into
their leaves and outcompete other types of plants.
So, rather than giving them an advantage, maybe these few species have
unusually enormous genomes because they just didn't have any particular reason to prune them.
For example, one group of plants that tends toward larger genomes,
the geophytes, store up energy in bulbs or tubers.
Think of a sweet potato or an onion, or a flower that grows from a bulb, like a daffodil.
Those energy reserves might be what enables them to synthesize lots of DNA without too much trouble.
As for what the deal is with those salamanders and lungfish…
well, scientists are still working on it.
We know some of the how, they build up DNA faster than they lose it,
and have lots of the kind of sequences that jump around and copy themselves,
but we're still figuring out the why.
Some researchers think salamanders built up a larger genome early on in their evolution,
and some of that DNA was later incorporated into the genetic code
for their more unique traits, like the ability to regrow limbs.
Which means it may have been worth it for them to keep their larger genomes around,
despite the energy cost.
But we have no idea if this is actually what happened.
Clearly, we still have a lot to learn about the species
that have ended up with more than their fair share of DNA.
But one thing's for sure: when it comes to genomes,
bigger isn't necessarily better, or more complex.
So, the next time you see an innocent-looking fern or an onion,
just remember: they're bigger, and a lot weirder, on the inside.
And speaking of coding for every single thing that makes a person a person or an onion an onion,

OMG is this thing going to start!? Raptor 700 Motor Part 10 - Duration: 9:50.
All right, so as you can see I have the Raptor pulled up here
and we're getting ready to dump this motor and I'm gonna do my best to just take this thing and
Muscle it in there the same way I muscled it out
I'm gonna pull the swingarm bolt at least drag it to the side because the back of our motor
goes in here and then this bolt slides right through the motor and
Then I'll see if I can line up this bolt down here
I might have to use a jack put it underneath just
To raise up the motor so I don't have to hold it while I put that bolt in and then the rest of the bolt
Should just fall into place
Alright guys, I got this thing all hooked up. I don't have the wires routed yet
And you know, I saw some finishing touches to do but I have everything together. I have the oil in there
I put the antifreeze in I don't the chain on there yet
I just want to see if the thing runs so I have the battery hooked up. I'm pretty sure I have all my
T's crossed and my eyes dotted I think it will start. So let's give it a shot. I
Knew this thing would start so that's an awesome sign right there
I'm gonna call it there for tonight guys
And I didn't want to leave it running because I'm gonna put an hour meter on it
I want to see exactly how much time I get out of this motor. So basically everything's done
I just have to tidy up all those wires and everything and put the plastics on and put the shifter on little odds and ends
Like that and then I can ride this thing man. So after that the plastics are suffer on there at all
I'm gonna put a graphics kit on it and that's gonna be it and I'm probably gonna get skid plates for it too because where
I ride
Up in the coal mines. And the last thing I want to do is bust a hole in my case
That would really suck if there all this work and there's not even a plastic factory skid on this thing
So definitely gonna get either a nice thick aluminum skid or one of those poly
Skids. I'm not really sure what I'm gonna get yet
But anyways guys if you enjoyed this video, please give me a thumbs up
Remember to check out my Instagram and my facebook page. My Instagram is Michael, Sabo
350 Facebook is a TV crazy 91 on my Instagram
I've been posting some before-and-afters and some pictures of me when I was younger and the stuff I used to work on
So make sure you check that out
Anyways guys enjoy your weekend and I will see you in the next one might be enjoy your week
I'm not sure when I get this finish editing
But anyway guys have a good one

The Predator's Most Peculiar Prey | NowThis Nerd - Duration: 6:59.
Hey everyone, I'm Moose,
and as much as I love seeing the Predator rip the spines from hapless schmucks.
if you want to see the Yautja go toe to toe with some more dangerous game,
you need to check out the expanded universe.
In the 31 years since the first film debuted,
The Predator has stalked some of pop culture's most prestigious properties,
resulting in some of the most awesome and insane crossovers we've ever seen.
So stick around, because today, we're talking about
The Predator's Most Peculiar Prey
A lot of these crossovers come courtesy of Dark Horse Comics,
known for their licensed series like 'Terminator,' 'Aliens,' and most famously, 'Star Wars.'
Their Predator line proved particularly popular,
and after the success of their standalone stories,
Dark Horse was ready to unleash the yautja on
The DC Universe,
DC met with Dark Horse to discuss a potential crossover back in 1989,
but the smaller company decided to keep things 'in-house' with their own established properties first.
After the original 'Alien vs. Predator' comic became a massive hit in 1990,
Dark Horse returned to DC with a pitch to pit their hunter against the ultimate target:
The Dark Knight.
When the world's greatest detective tracks down a killer who's been separating victims from their spines,
he find himself at the losing end of an alien ass-beating,
but eventually stops the hunter from turning Gotham into a game preserve.
The Bat faced the Predator in two more miniseries,
and in a tag team with the big blue boy scout.
Superman was hunted in his own crossover, too,
where the Man of Steel was conveniently de-powered by a virus,
because all the stealth camo in the world won't hide you from X-ray vision.
And if the World's Finest team wasn't worthy enough prey,
the Predators eventually set their sights on the entire Justice League,
when a evil race of aliens engineered an army of yautja with the powers of the JLA.
Of course, now that they're about to become property of Disney,
I wouldn't expect to see Batman vs. Predator onscreen anytime soon,
but you can check out an amazing 2003 fan film called 'Dead End,'
that imagines how a back alley encounter between the yautja and the Caped Crusader would really go down.
Predators seem to have a lot of trouble with peace officers,
whether its a masked vigilante,
or Danny Glover as an LAPD detective.
That's right, butthead. Poop happens.
But what about prey who doesn't just enforce the law,
he IS the law?
I'm talking, of course, about
Judge Dredd
I AM THE LAW!
After the success of 'Batman vs. Predator,'
Dark Horse teamed up with a ton of different publishers in search of more skulls for the monster's mantle,
including Britain's breakout comic book character, Judge Dredd.
In Dredd's dystopian future,
the streets of Mega City One are policed by elite agents of order who serve as judge, jury, and executioner in one convenient package,
making them exceptional opponents for the glory-hungry hunters.
In the comic, Dredd teams up with the great-great-granddaughter of Arnold's character from the first film,
and together, they put their Lawmakers to the test against the Predator's plasmacaster.
The book was written by Dredd co-creator John Wagner,
and in keeping with the strict, realtime continuity of the series,
the Judge's encounter with the yautja are still considered canon.
And speaking of canon,
one of literature's most famous pulp heroes also crossed paths with the Predator,
the ape-man known as
Tarzan
When Edgar Rice Burroughs created Tarzan in 1912,
I doubt he'd have envisioned him facing off against an alien hunter with a face like a horseshoe crab.
But long after the author's death, Tarzan of the Apes lives on through countless new books, movies, cartoons and comics,
and once Dark Horse got the rights in 1996,
they wasted no time pitting the Lord of the Jungle against the Lords of the Hunt,
in 'Tarzan vs. Predator: At the Earth's Core.'
The clan of yautja put the Earl of Greystoke's formidable survival skills to the test,
and if you think Arnold going full Snake Eater was impressive,
you've never seen Tarzan of the Apes literally bash in a Predator's head with a rock.
Pretty hardcore stuff,
but that's nothing compared to the brutality on display in the world of
Mortal Kombat
The Mortal Kombat series is no stranger to crossovers,
and in the cameo-heavy 'Mortal Kombat X,'
the yautja unleashed hell on Outworld.
The DLC Predator is the perfect fit for the ultraviolent fighting game,
and not just because Cyrax and Sektor blatantly ripped off his design.
His entire moveset is filled with brilliant callbacks to the movies,
and his brain-splitting finishing moves make excellent use of the yautja's arsenal.
PREDATOR WINS.
But if you can't pull off the fatality, don't despair,
every victory ends with you ripping the spine out of your opponent and placing it on your trophy shelf.
Predator even makes sense lorewise,
after all,
what prey is more worthy than Earthrealm's most accomplished fighters?
There's only one group of hardened warriors who could possibly provide a more thrilling hunt:
Archie and Friends
Over the last few years,
Archie Comics has brilliantly transformed their hokey, nearly 80-year-old characters into a multimedia empire,
by not taking things super seriously,
and exploring genres far beyond comedy.
Do you think I can use Jason Blossom's death as an excuse to get out of P.E.?
Don't joke about Jason Blossom.
Why? Sardonic humor is just my way of relating to the world.
But long before the Lynchian 'Riverdale,'
The ball began rolling with 'Archie Meets the Punisher' in 1994.
Still, as fearsome as Frank Castle is,
he's nothing compared to the Predator.
Unlike other series like 'Afterlife With Archie' or the revamped 'Sabrina,'
'Archie vs. Predator' is drawn in Dan DeCarlo's cartoony style,
which makes the exploding heads, impaled bodies and torn out spines even more unsettling.
Between the occult rituals,
interspecies surgery,
and Archie-shaped exosuits,
the entire miniseries is completely batshit in the best way possible.
Archie Andrews would go on to encounter even scarier foes like Sharknadoes and the cast of 'Glee,'
but since their encounter, the Predator has been lacking in fresh opponents.
I mean, who's left?
Scooby and the Gang?
Predator vs. Mario?
Honestly, with Disney in charge,
it might finally be time for that Boba Fett/Predator crossover the galaxy has been waiting for.
I'm not holding my breath for that one,
but no matter when the next crossover occurs,
there will always be plenty of plain old humans for the Predator to hunt.

Ask Alabama: How the Florida Panhandle nearly became part of Alabama - Duration: 2:24.
The beautiful sunny Florida Panhandle.
It's the go-to spot for beach lovers,
Spring Breakers, and people who like to
throw mullets... don't worry about it. And
about 150 years ago it came within an
inch of being annexed by the state of
Alabama. "I once read that Alabama had the
chance to purchase Panhandle of Florida.
True or not?" Folks voted on that question
for Ask Alabama. And it is true the
Panhandle was very nearly purchased by
Alabama. So what happened? It's the oldest
song in Alabama history: political corruption.
In an early Reckon video we
covered how the borders of Alabama and
Florida ended up the way they are. Short
recap: the U.S. grabbed up this land and formed
the state of Alabama in 1819 back when
Florida was still owned by Spain. When
Spain finally gave up its land to the U.S.
the states around Florida were already
pretty set. However, for years after, hell
even when it was still Spanish land,
folks in Alabama and the Florida
Panhandle had called for the Panhandle
to be annexed by Alabama. A lot of
settlers in the Panhandle were from
Alabama families. And swampy terrain and
forests made traveling from the Panhandle
to the rest of Florida a real slog, while
the only thing separating the Panhandle
from Alabama were some small rivers and
invisible lines. So Alabama was eager to bring
their Panhandle brothers back into the
fold. And if the state ended up with the
lucrative harbor in Pensacola, that'
not so bad either. And in the aftermath
of the Civil War it looked like it was
finally going to happen. In 1868 an
agreement was reached between Florida
and Alabama to sell the Panhandle to
Alabama for $1,000,000. But as you can
guess if you've seen a map, something
didn't work out. Turns out a commission
was formed to figure out the nitty-gritty
of the annexation and those guys
apparently started living high on the
hog off taxpayer money. I can't say
exactly how much they spent ,but I can
say when Alabama lawmakers found out
about the Commission's quote "extravagant
expense account" support for the deal
fell through and it never happened. The
issue would be brought up a few more
times but once Pensacola got
connected to the rest of the state by
railway, the demand for annexation largely
went away. That's how the panhandle
narrowly avoided becoming part of the
state of Alabama.
A handful of corrupt politicians ruined
it for everyone. The more things change
the more they stay the same.
I'm Jonathan Sobolewski for Reckon.

you want answered. The Ask Alabama team
is standing by. You can submit your

Typical Loadout of a US Marine - Duration: 9:14.
In a book called "Soldier's Load and the Mobility of a Nation," Colonel S.L.A.
Marshall pointed at a troubling issue plaguing US combat troops: overloading of equipment,
hampering battlefield performance.
While the ideal US infantryman's combat load is not meant to exceed a third of their own
bodyweight, the recent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq saw American infantry regularly carrying
loads that exceeded 120 lbs (54kg).
But what is all this extra equipment that the modern soldier is being asked to carry
into combat?
That's what we'll find out, in this episode of the Infographics Show, the typical loadout
of a US Marine.
First, overburdening is a serious concern for the US military, with several studies
having been undertaken on the combat effectiveness of troops carrying modern combat loads.
Without exception, each study thus far has shown that extreme loads critically lower
combat effectiveness, and in Afghanistan, the Taliban was known to refer to American
and British soldiers as "donkeys" because of how overburdened each soldier was.
In fact, NATO soldiers found it difficult to close with the enemy because of how much
more mobile the insurgent fighter was.
The US Army field manual on foot marches dictates that an infantryman should carry a fighting
load of no more than 48 lbs (21.7 kg), and a marching load no greater than 72 lbs (32.7
kg), yet modern mission-critical equipment regularly pushes combat loads to over 100
lbs (45.3).
So just what are US Marines carrying into combat nowadays?
A marine is not a marine without his weapon, and the American Marine is equipped with the
M4 carbine.
A 5.56 mm rifle, the M4 has a maximum range of 3600 meters, with a point target range
of 500 meters, and an area target range of 600 meters.
The M4 has a muzzle velocity of 2,970 feet per second, giving it tremendous penetration
power against body armor, and a sustained firing rate of 12-15 rounds per minute, with
a maximum cyclical firing rate of 700-970 rounds per minute.
Together with one 30 round magazine, the M4 weighs in at 7 lbs, 5 ounces (3.32 kg).
A US Marine's M4 is typically equipped with a PAQ-4 or similar laser for use with their
night vision, and an ACOG scope to aid with naked-eye targeting.
Always ready for a close-quarters fight, US Marines still carry bayonets for use in conjunction
with their rifle or on their own, along with the legendary Ka-bar knife.
On his person, a Marine carries a variety of gear.
Depending on climate, they are equipped with a suitable camouflage uniform made of extremely
durable and air-breathing fabrics.
Also, depending on the type of enemy they may be facing, their uniform may be adorned
with a patch of infrared tape on the left sleeve for aid in identification with night
vision equipment; although, if facing a more modern foe, the tape will likely not be worn
as it could also be seen by the enemy.
A pair of tactical gloves, knee and elbow pads, and Sun, Sand and Dust goggles round
out the environmental protection equipment each individual Marine carries.
While available for decades, for the first time in history, US Marines are all equipped
with body armor.
Today's variant is known as the Interceptor Body Armor system and consists of a kevlar
weave vest with two ceramic inserts.
The vest itself is rated to stop a 9mm round, and the additional ceramic plate inserts are
each rated to stop 3 hits from up to a 7.62 mm round.
All together, the body armor and plates weigh a minimum of 16.4 lbs (7.4kg), but additional
inserts and modular add ons such as leg, groin and neck protectors, can vastly increase that
weight.
To protect their heads, the American Marine is equipped with the Advanced Combat Helmet.
Capable of stopping a variety of lower-end calibers, the ACH provides protection from
small caliber weapons and shrapnel, and unlike helmets of the past, is smaller and rides
higher on a marine's head to improve their ability to see and hear on the battlefield.
Each ACH comes with a night vision mount for quick and easy deployment of each marine's
personal night vision equipment, the PVS-14 or PVS-7.
As a monocular device, the PVS-14 is vastly preferred over, and is phasing out, the PVS-7
which covers both eyes; having one eye adjusted to nighttime conditions allows the Marine
a faster reaction time in case they have to remove their night vision, avoiding temporary
blindness as eyes slowly adjust to the total dark.
Both night vision devices work in conjunction with the PAQ-4 laser system to provide for
accurate fire even in pitch black.
On the Marine's body armor, each infantryman is typically loaded down with a minimum of
180 additional rounds of ammunition, bringing a total combat load to 210 rounds; 30 rounds
always loaded in their rifle, and the rest on ammo pouches worn on the body.
While most Marines wear the standard issue MOLLE load-bearing vest, some opt for personally
bought equipment that they may find more comfortable individually.
Along with 180 rounds of ammunition, American Marines will typically carry a minimum of
one fragmentation grenade, but might carry up to 6.
The M67 fragmentation grenade has a 4-5 second fuse and can explode steel fragments over
a 15 meter area, causing 50% casualties within a 5 meter area.
Varying on mission length and type, marines will at minimum carry 64 ounces of water in
two 1-quart canteens, as well as an additional 100 ounces of water worn on 'camelbacks' the
marine carries on their back.
A second bladder of water is typically carried inside the marine's assault rucksack, along
with two Meals Ready to Eat or MREs.
A folding knife/multi-tool, plastic flex cuffs for detaining personnel, a compass, a flashlight
and a basic first aid kit, round out gear typically worn directly on the body.
Inside a US marine's combat ruck though, you'll find additional equipment to support prolonged
combat operations.
This can include a 500ml intravenous fluids bag and delivery kit for emergency care, a
poncho and Bivy Sack to keep sleeping bags dry, additional socks and undershirts, a personal
hygiene kit, sling rope, and the all-important weapon cleaning kit to keep their rifle serviced
and well maintained.
If that's not enough, however, a US Marine may be deployed with an additional, 'main'
rucksack for long-term or extended operations.
This rucksack typically carries the marine's sleeping bag, even more undershirts and socks,
cold-weather gear such as knit caps and polypropylene underwear, additional MREs, and, of course,
even more ammunition- typically an additional 210 rounds.
While this rounds out the typical US marine's loadout, each marine can be equipped with
specialized support equipment.
Marines operating in urban environments may find themselves carrying a lock pick, bolt
cutters, collapsible riot baton, hooligan tool (ie. a specialized crowbar), and/or sledgehammer.
Most marines will also carry a collapsible entrenching tool, or E-Tool, no matter the
mission; basically a small shovel, the E-tool is handy for digging hasty fighting positions,
but doubles as a brutally effective close-quarters weapon.
Marines may also carry the M18 Claymore mine.
Named after the medieval era sword, the Claymore has been in operation since 1960 and features
a layer of C-4 explosive embedded with 700 3.2mm steel pellets.
Triggered either by remote or via trip-wire, the Claymore explodes in a 60 degree arc and
shoots steel pellets in a cone, 2 meters high and 50 meters wide, lethal up to 250 meters.
Marines may also carry the M141 SMAW-D Bunker Defeat Munition- a single-shot bazooka-style
weapon designed to destroy hardened bunkers or small buildings.
In a pinch, the M141 can be extremely effective against lightly armored vehicles, but would
likely be defeated by all but the thinner top turret armor of most modern tanks.
The American Marine is equipped for a variety of missions, giving US ground forces unmatched
flexibility.
Yet with heavy standard loads that don't take into account even more specialized equipment,
such as laser target designators or bulky communications equipment, US marines and soldiers
are increasingly finding it more and more difficult to keep pace with less equipped
and much more mobile enemies such as the Taliban.
While a variety of Department of Defense programs are currently looking at ways to minimize
the weight a US infantryman carries into battle, it's likely that the United States will continue
to ask its soldiers and marines to regularly carry over half their body weight into combat
for the foreseeable future.
So, how could US forces and their NATO allies lower the amount of weight they carry into
battle?
What pieces of equipment do you think could use replacing?

Foods You Never Knew Carbs Were Hiding In - Duration: 6:36.
Low-carb diets are all the rage these days, but they're not as easy to follow as they
sound.
There's a lot more to living a low-carb lifestyle than simply giving up your beloved bread and
pasta.
Carbohydrates are hiding in places you would never suspect, and giving them up the right
way might involve ditching some foods you previously thought were safe.
Here's a list of foods that aren't as low-carb as you might think!
Yogurt
By itself, yogurt isn't too high in carbs, even though it contains lactose, a naturally
occuring sugar.
Without any added sweeteners, plain yogurt contains about 11 grams of carbs per 8-ounce
portion.
However, additives can really pack the carbs into your so-called healthy afternoon snack.
Those delicious flavored yogurts can contain three to four times the sugar content of plain
yogurt!
Beans
Cheap, versatile, and chock-full of nutrients, beans are a staple food for millions of people
around the world.
But just because they're super good for you doesn't make them low in carbs.
Though beans have a reputation for packing a lot of protein, they're still a carbohydrate.
One cup of black beans has 41 grams of carbohydrates -- the same amount of carbs found in two slices
of bread.
That's a lot!
However, the carbs you do get from beans are usually pretty healthy.
Much of the carbohydrates in beans come from fiber, a carb which aids in fullness and slows
down the digestion of food.
So, beans may be suitable for some low-carb diets, as long as you consume them in moderation.
After all, there are plenty of great bean recipes.
"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti."
Fruit
Delicious, nutritious, and 100 percent natural, fruit is among the tastiest foods on the planet.
However, despite the fact that it literally grows on trees, fruit isn't always suitable
for low-carb diets -- no matter how yummy it may be.
Though fruit is still a healthier choice than a plate of spaghetti, its natural sugar content
can really pack on the carbs.
Take this into consideration the next time you find yourself reaching for a bunch of
grapes.
Peanut butter
Even though it's widely considered to be healthy and packed full of energy-providing nutrients,
peanut butter does have its share of carbs.
Luckily for the peanut butter lovers of the world, more than half the carbs in the sticky
snack come from fiber.
So as long as you don't eat half a jar in one sitting, peanut butter is actually a smart
carb choice.
However, not all peanut butter is made equally.
Many peanut butter brands might have added sweeteners in their recipes, making the carb
count shoot through the roof.
If you're living a low-carb lifestyle, you'll have to be a savvy shopper and search for
natural peanut butter with no added sugars.
Too much sugar, you know what to do.
"OK.
That's fine."
Jerky
Jerky is often thought to be a great go-to snack for low-carb dieters.
After all, meat has always been a reliable, carb-free snack, right?
Unfortunately, these cured meats often contain a whole lot of added sugar, making them a
no-go for low-carb dieters.
"We make our own beef jerky.
That's what we do.
And now that's all wrecked!"!
Plus, jerkies tend to not be as filling as actual fresh meat because most of the appetite-suppressing
water content is removed in preparation.
Before you know it, you'll have eaten a whole bag of beef jerky -- and you'll have
all the carbs to show for it, too.
Condiments
The condiments section of the grocery store can be a minefield, even when you're aware
of the ingredients.
As harmless as certain condiments might seem, these tasty food items are often packed with
added sugar -- even if they don't necessarily taste very sweet.
Some of the worst offenders are salad dressings that claim to be low-fat or fat-free.
Many times, these low-fat products have actually just swapped fats for other ingredients that
are far from low in carbohydrates.
"Yeah, I could eat a whole bottle too…"
Chances are you're safe with mayo, but definitely read the labels on any ketchup, and salad
dressings.
While barbecue sauces are pretty much out, many hot sauces are good to go -- like Tabasco,
which is free of carbohydrates.
And while mustard is a safe bet, honey mustard is unfortunately a no-go.
Life just isn't fair.
Meatballs
Meat is an essential part of most low-carb diets — it's protein-rich, super flavorful,
and very satisfying.
But just as jerky has hidden carbs you might not be aware of, other meat options can, too.
Meatballs are an exception to the low-carb rule.
These guys can have carbs, as most meatball recipes call for breadcrumbs or torn pieces
of bread.
So when it comes to meat, stick to what you know is safe for your diet -- or get in the
kitchen and whip it up yourself!
Milk
Cow's milk is nourishing and chock full of calcium.
But just because it's essential for growth and development doesn't mean it's safe for
low-carb dieters.
"I see you're drinking 1% - is that cuz you think you're fat?
Cuz you're not; you could be drinking whole if you wanted to."
You'll likely be surprised to find that milk has about 12 grams of carbs in a single
cup, making the beverage relatively high in its carb count.
But if you can't imagine yourself having your morning cup of coffee without a splash
or two of milk, don't worry -- heavy cream or coconut milk makes for a deliciously creamy,
low-carb alternative.
Sushi
Sushi, as it's generally served in the United States, is fish served with seaweed, rice,
and other various ingredients.
As long as you avoid the inauthentic fried varieties and mayo-based sauces with added
sugars, sushi can be pretty good for you.
Not only is it a tasty way to include more fish in your diet -- most sushi is also very
low in fat.
However low in fat it may be, sushi is not low-carb.
Sushi rice is usually seasoned with salt, vinegar, and sugar -- driving the carb count
even higher than that of regular white rice.
If you're looking for a low-carb sushi alternative, try ordering sashimi -- a slices of fish served
without the carbo-load of rice.

Rush Limbaugh Thinks Hurricane Florence Forecasts Are Climate Change Propaganda - Duration: 4:09.
I know a lot of people right now are absolutely terrified of what Hurricane Florence could
do to the east coast of the United States.
The heavy winds, the massive storm surge, the predicted flooding that is going to take
place, and the secondary flooding that they're predicting is gonna happen after the rain
hits the mountains and then all flushes back down.
But don't worry, folks, because according to Rush Limbaugh, all of these forecasts for
what Hurricane Florence is going to do, that's just climate change propaganda coming from
environmentalists.
That is what Rush Limbaugh told his listeners this week.
Now I'm going to read you this full Rush Limbaugh quote.
This is from a transcript of his program.
You can find the link in the description of this video.
Here it is.
"This is, they tell us, one of the most powerful hurricanes this far north ever.
And of course, why is that?
Well, that would be sea surface temperature.
And why is that warmer?
There you go, climate change.
It's being accepted as a non-argumentative fact.
I don't care what meteorologist you watch or read, website or what have you, all of
this seems to be acknowledged fact.
So we're keeping an eye on that.
Also these things have become very politicized, as you know, folks.
Hurricanes and hurricane forecasting is much like much else that the left has gotten its
hands on, and they politicize these things.
For those of you asking, what's the politics of a hurricane?
Climate change is the politics of hurricanes.
So we don't have to worry about anything, because this is just politics.
It's Democrats getting in there and trying to get us to care about that bad old climate
change, that Chinese hoax that's out there.
Don't worry about the forecast."
Over the years, we've talked about a lot of dumb things that have come out of the mouths
of those on the right, but this is like Alex Jones level combination crazy and stupid,
coming out of one of the most popular Republican talk show hosts in the country.
Now I've got to be honest, I had forgotten that Rush Limbaugh existed.
We haven't heard too much from this nut job since Donald Trump came into office because
he's not the only nut job around anymore.
We have Trump.
We have Hannity, who's gone even crazier, Tucker Carlson, who's gone full white nationalist
now, Laura Ingraham, Tomi Lahren, Shapiro, Sertavich, all those other nut jobs out there.
So, Limbaugh's got to fight, get a little bit crazier than usual in order to actually
retain his audience.
But we've seen this happen before.
Now, back in 2004, 2005, this same kind of scenario played itself out.
We had a lot of little upstart right wingers in this country, and in order to gain the
very limited attention that was available, they each had to start saying crazier and
crazier and crazier things.
That's when Ann Coulter was really big and Michelle Malkin was trying to take over as
the new right wing queen of hate.
It didn't work out so well for her.
Most people have forgotten she existed.
But that's what Limbaugh's trying to do here.
Yes, he is a climate change science denier, but he knows if he wants to hold onto his
base, to his crowd, to his audience, to his contracts, he's got to get crazier because
if he's not crazy enough, they're just gonna go listen to Hannity.
They're gonna go watch Tomi Lahren.
They're gonna follow whatever crap it is Ben Shapiro is doing today.
So, you have to out-crazy the person before you so that you can keep your audience.
We've seen this scenario play itself out on the right before.
It's playing itself out again right now.
But what is important is that these people are so desperate to maintain an audience,
that they're actually willing to put people's lives at risk with Hurricane Florence, like
Rush Limbaugh's doing here, because he just wants people to think that he's the craziest
of the crazy, and therefore he is the one worthy of their attention.

Fan Asks Mike Rowe What He Thinks Of Nike Kaepernick Ad, Left Silent By Brilliant Response - Duration: 5:55.
Nike's recent ad featuring football player Colin Kaepernick
– known for starting the trend of kneeling during the playing of the National Anthem
– has caused a huge stir and a great amount of controversy.
People on both sides have been weighing in with their thoughts about the ad, but one
voice was noticeably absent: that of actor and television host Mike Rowe (known for such
shows as Dirty Jobs and the CNN series Somebody's Gotta Do It.)
One fan noticed Rowe's silence on the subject and asked what he thought about it, and Rowe's
thoughtful and poignant response is one all of America needs to hear right now:
Nike's free to celebrate whomever they wish, and Kaepernick is entitled to his opinion
– kneeling, standing, or lying down.
But if I was going to put someone's face on a billboard – someone who epitomized
bravery and sacrifice – I might have gone another way, especially this time of year.
I might have gone with this guy – Tom Burnett.
Tom's last act on earth was one of the most courageous things imaginable.
And his last words to his wife, Deena, are among the most inspiring I have ever heard.
Those exact words are at the top of this page, and the bottom.
They were spoken seventeen years ago, under conditions I hope to never experience.
I will never forget Tom's last words.
I hope you wo not either.
Transcript of Tom's Last Calls to Deena six: twenty seven a.m.( pacific time) First
cell phone call from Tom Tom: Yes, yes, just listen.
Our airplane has been hijacked.
It's United Flight 93 from Newark to San Francisco.
We are in the air.
The hijackers have already knifed a guy, one of them has a gun, they are telling us there
is a bomb on board, please call the authorities.
He hung up.
Tom: My seatmate.
Do you know which airline is involved?
Deena: No, they do not know if they are commercial airlines or not.
The newsreporters are speculating cargo planes, private planes and commercial.
No one knows.
Tom: How many planes are there?
Deena: They are not sure, at least three.
Maybe more.
Tom: O.K….O.K….Do you know who is involved?
Deena: No.
Tom: We are turning back toward New York.
We are going back to the World Trade Center.
No, wait, we're turning back the other way.
We are going south.
Deena: What do you see?
Tom: Just a minute, I'm looking.
I do not see anything, we are over a rural area.
It's just fields.
I' have gotta go.
six:fourty five a.m.
Third cell phone call from Tom to Deena Tom: Deena
Deena: Tom, you are O.K. (I thought at this point he had just survived the Pentagon plane
crash).
Tom: No, I am not.
Deena: They just hit the Pentagon.
Tom: (tells people sitting around him "They just hit the Pentagon.")
Tom: O.K….O.K.
What else can you tell me?
Deena: They think five airplanes have been hijacked.
One is still on the ground.
They believe all of them are commercial planes.
I have not heard them say which airline, but all of them have originated on the east coast.
Tom: Do you know who is involved?
Deena: No Tom: What is the probability of their having
a bomb on board?
I do not think they have one.
I think they are just telling us that for crowd control.
Deena: A plane can survive a bomb if it's in the right place.
Tom: Did you call the authorities?
Deena: Yes, they did not know anything about your plane.
Tom: They are talking about crashing this plane into the ground.
We have to do something.
I am putting a plan together.
Deena: Who's helping you?
Six fifty four a.m.
Fourth cell phone call to Tom to Deena Deena: Tom?
Tom: Hi.
Anything new?
Deena: No Tom: Where are the kids?
Deena: They are fine.
They are sitting at the table having breakfast.
They are asking to talk to you.
Tom: Tell them I will talk to them later.
Deena: I called your parents.
They know your plane has been hijacked.
Tom: Oh…you should not have worried them.
How are they doing?
Deena: They are O.K.. Mary and Martha are with them.
Tom: Good.
(a long quiet pause) Tom: We are waiting until we are over a rural
area.
We are going to take back the airplane.
Deena: No!
Sit down, be still, be quiet, and do not draw attention to yourself!
(The exact words taught to me by Delta Airlines Flight Attendant Training).
Tom: Deena!
If they are going to crash this plane into the ground, we are going to have do something!
Deena: What about the authorities?
Tom: We can not wait for the authorities.
I do not know what they could do anyway.
It's up to us.
I think we can do it.
Deena: What do you want me to do?
Tom: Pray, Deena, just pray. (after a long pause)
Deena: I love you.
Tom: Do not worry, we are going to do something…
Let us never forget!
Do you think Rowe's reminder is important for all Americans to hear?
Then share it!

Kim Kardashian Says She Used Makeup toBribe' Daughter After North Shows Off Epic Contouring Skills - Duration: 2:51.
Like mother, like daughter! Beauty mogul Kim Kardashian West is passing on her skills to her daughter North, 5, and she showed fans the evidence in her Instagram story on Thursday
In the series of videos, North has a face full of makeup, from light foundation on her nose to dark eye shadow, bronzer, and a gray lip
Kardashian West filmed her using a brush and her hand to attempt to blend her look (with mixed results!) and captioned the clip "Contour Queen," adding the crown emoji
The reality star has two other children with her husband Kanye West: son Saint, 2, and daughter Chicago, 8 months
Kardashian West also added another clip of North modeling a bright red lipstick, which the KKW founder identified as number six of her new Classic Blossom collection, which drops Friday
As North flashes a smile, Kardashian West tells her, "Thanks for being the best model for me
" But the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star was quick to shut down mommy shamers before they even had a chance to criticize her for letting North wear makeup
"Relax," she wrote over the video. "It's coming off in a few mins. I just needed a bribe to get out of the door … you feel me?!?!?!" North might be used to being in front of a camera, both on her mom's phone and the set of her family's show, but she only just learned why her mother is a celebrity
In a radio interview with Big Boy on Real 92.3 in August, Kardashian West recalled the time North asked: "Mom, why are you famous?" "Oh, okay, okay
I'm going to have to explain this right now," Kardashian West said of her eldest child's surprising inquiry
However, she was quick to answer North's question. "I'm like, 'We have a TV show
' And she was like, 'Oh okay.' That was the first time she was like, 'Oh!' " the mother of three remembered

Beth Diederich: Master of Education in Literacy Education `18, University of Missouri - Duration: 1:39.
My name is Beth Diederich and I have just completed my master's in Literacy Education.
I needed online. I completed the entire program in Santiago, Chile.
There was not an option to attend any face-to-face classes at all.
I needed one hundred percent distance learning and got that.
There were so many times where professors were willing to just understand the position I was in.
Because it's Northern and Southern hemisphere, the seasons are flipped.
My summer courses would be while I was in a full semester or
while they were starting a semester, I was in summer and didn't have any students
and professors were always willing to work with ways to make the assignments possible,
regardless of whether I was teaching or not at that time of year.
The classes offered serve so many different interests and also age level of the students.
So throughout the program, I realized how much I was interested in struggling readers, for example,
so the more interested that I became, the more classes were available.
I've gained quite a bit of confidence in my own discipline.
It's opened my world to the amount of research and literature that's out there
and the professional community only supports that curiosity.
If a student was similar to myself and hadn't experienced online learning before, you know,
trust that you'll have the discipline and, not only that, because of the community, you're not isolated.
Honestly, I was incredibly satisfied with the program,
and with what the instructors had to offer,
what peers had to offer, it was great.

SoCal Stories | With a Cause - Marlee Matlin - Convo - Duration: 4:39.
Before I did the Children of a Lesser God film,
I did not grow up watching the Oscars.
I didn't. I just wasn't interested.
It wasn't until I got the Children of a Lesser God role
that my life changed.
It pivoted.
Of course, I was nervous,
but I kept my cool.
I sat in my seat and watched the awards happening.
There were awards after awards,
and when it was my turn,
Bill (William Hurt) walked to the stage.
He had the envelope in his hand, and I watched him.
My heart... I don't even know where it went.
It was beating in and out comically.
Ooh...
I watched as he opened the envelope,
and to my surprise, he signed my name.
I had no speech prepared.
I really wish I did.
I approached the stage, very shy,
and people applauded loudly and energetically.
It was really... an amazing experience.
I can still feel it.
The hearing Hollywood people, a lot of the critics,
they all said, "Why did Marlee Matlin win? How?
It was a pity vote."
What they meant to tell people was,
"She's Deaf. She played a Deaf role.
So how is that great acting?"
I was floored.
New York Magazine did a follow-up, too, saying,
"That Deaf Marlee Matlin (they used the label Deaf)
will never work at Hollywood ever again."
It's a one-time thing. That's it.
There'll be no opportunities after. Nothing."
I was speechless. No way.
And then... they asked me
to present the Best Actor award
at the Oscars next year.
So I did my thing.
I used my speech to speak
the names of the five nominees.
The next day, again, people brazenly criticized me.
Not from hearing people, but from the Deaf community.
I was absolutely confused.
"What did I do?"
I had no idea, honestly, no idea at all.
"Wh-what did I do?"
I was young. I was 22 at that time.
Very young!
I found out later it was because I spoke.
It was because I didn't sign.
I didn't know.
Oh... so they thought I was trying to send a message
to hearing parents--to hearing parents of deaf babies
that it's better to speak, not sign.
Huh.
Honestly, it just never registered in my mind
to do that, or I wasn't even aware of doing that.
Of doing the political stuff.
I was naive.
I was still thrown off. "What do you mean?
I don't get it?"
I-I was just a girl from Morton Grove,
Illinois, in Chicago
who went to a mainstreamed school
who spoke and signed.
It was SEE (Signing Exact English) at that time.
I did not know anything about Deaf history.
I was never taught that.
NO one even offered to approach and sit me down
and explain what Deaf culture was all about.
No one did!
I had to find out myself the hard way.
It... It was a really difficult time in my life
for a good 10-15 years.
Yeah, so...
I shut out the Deaf community
for the most part of the 10 years.
I did not go to any events.
I wasn't invited to a lot of them either.
I wouldn't say the whole Deaf community shunned me.
No. Not all of it...
but a big portion did.
The Deaf people shut me out, too.
So I had to take the punches and move forward.
I did my thing.
I am slowly
opening my mind and heart
to pick up on what Deaf culture is all about.
ASL,
Deaf education.
I learned to trust.
I learned to forgive.
I learned to just be patient.
I'm proud to be a part of the Deaf community.
I really am.
110%
I love you.

- Morning.
Who signed up for a 31-day challenge already?
Which challenge are you doing?
Are you a newbie doing Shelley Says So
for the very first time?
Or are you coming back for another round of it?
Like, you thought you did it all last year,
what more could we possible cover?
And I know the feedback from last year's clients that did it
and their friends that did it was
A, how much fun it was, how much of a good time they had.
But also all the amazing things that they were able
to implement and change on habits
that just set them up at the beginning of the year
for all these amazing new things for the rest of the year.
And also just the level of awareness and education
that we can't possibly do in our sessions.
And it just goes above and beyond and it plants ideas
that then we can nut out more if you're interested in that.
But it just very, it's just a whole bunch of challenges
that you get to have fun, you've got the Facebook support,
and I love going on the Facebook group, it is so much fun.
I don't necessarily take my summer holiday
at this time anymore, because I am on Facebook
and there's no digital detox going on.
It's not 100% a break because I get hooked,
I loving seeing all your great feedback.
Anyway, what I wanted to share with you today was one of
the great tips, and you will have seen them in clinic,
in our reception area on the table, we have got
Emily Mason's post cards that she's kindly printed for us.
And on there you'll see her STOP, her acronym called STOP.
And you're probably thinking what the heck,
what does that even stand for?
So I just wanted to share it with you
cause I just think it's magic and I've loved being able
to incorporate it in client sessions
and really get you guys on board,
because we're all about being parasympathetic
as much as possible and little things
that we can incorporate into our lives.
So STOP.
S, slow down.
Doesn't sound that hard, but let's be honest,
for a lot of us slowing down can be hard.
With that, though, then the rest of the
S is sighing and smiling.
So we're all just gonnna do a sigh.
(sighs)
And now we're gonna smile.
You might need to fake it to make it.
But, just sighing, the act of sighing and smiling
switches you straight away into your parasympathetic.
The part that I love about that
is you can do it any time, anywhere.
It can be dramatic, it can be not so dramatic.
You might see me doing it in client sessions with you
or you might not even notice the amount of times
that I am doing it throughout the day.
Cause it's something simple that
just flicks you into your parasympathetic.
The T is treat yourself as a toddler.
What does that even mean?
If you've got a toddler or a child
you'll 100% know how committed you are to your child.
You are anticipating every single need.
You wanna need when they need to sleep,
what they need to eat, what you need to give them next,
do they need stimulation, do they need quiet time,
do they need rest, do they need to go to bed early.
How many of us anticipate our needs like that?
I know that I can often override my needs,
I know on the invest bank I 100% forgot about
everything to do with me and what I needed
and just focused on the end goal.
So let's try and treat ourselves.
What would we do if we were our child, if we were a toddler.
How different would it be?
O, that's our senses, so observe, look into our senses.
So that's our sight, our smell, our taste, our touch, and
sight, smell, taste, oh.
Sight, smell, taste, hear.
What we can hear.
That was the last one, that took me a while.
So we can do that while we're eating, we can do
that while we're walking to work,
on the bus, in the evenings at home.
It doesn't need to be anything extreme, right?
That's easy.
And then our next one is to root ourselves,
to get our feet connected into the ground.
So really, to stand on the ground, and ground ourselves.
Easy, right?
STOP.
If you haven't got a postcard already,
get into the clinic and have a look.
And incorporate these things into your life.
