Youtube daily report w Jan 5 2017

Greetings Unstopables fans!

It's...

Unstopping time!

Join me, The Silver Shroud-

It's time for your favorite show, sweetie.

-Barbarian-

-and the rest of the Unstoppables team for another exciting Adventure.

Today's episode: Return of The Abominable Five!

But first... a few words from our friends at Nuka Cola.

What if there was a place with all the zip of Nuka-Cola?

Wouldn't that be the cheer-cheer-cheeriest place in all the world?

Where the river's made of Quantum, And the mountaintops are fizz

Vault 111?

You're-

You're that woman who's been looking all over the Commonwealth for your kid.

Never should have let Piper write that stupid article.

Now every raider psycho in the wasteland knows my business.

I'm not a raider.

Helen Tanner, New California Republic Rangers.

California?

Didn't that fall off into the ocean or something?

She's not the cyborg.

Ya don't say.

Brotherhood of Steel.

Thought you said you were with the California Commandos or something.

I'm not really with him.

He's more like a drunken uncle that follows me around and doesn't know when to shut up.

And you're like some lady I woke up next to in a Vegas hotel room, and don't know how

to get rid of.

When my team found you, you were wandering around the desert yapping at anyone in earshot.

If it weren't for me, you'd be sitting on a cactus stump outside of Novac, arguing with

No Bark Noonan about where Wannamingoes come from!

Before the war we had something called "Marriage counseling."

I'm guessing you don't have that in the future.

We're not-

The future?

You're that woman from Vault 111.

Piper.

Just got out of cryofreeze from the Back When times.

Yeah, yeah yeah, I'm the cave woman from the primitive Twenty First Century.

Love what ya done with the planet while I was asleep.

Now, why are you, Dorothy, and Toto trying to kill me?

We're chasing something more dangerous than all the raiders in Nuka World.

Me?

I'd love to stop and hear your story, Ma'am, but we're on our way to-

I'm the Overboss here, pal.

You don't go anywhere in my park unless I say you do.

*Dogmeat growls*

Well hello, handsome!

Did your dog just talk?

Talking cyberdogs became quite common in-

We're trying to keep an insane cybernetic monster from getting into the cloning labs

under Safari Adventure.

We thought you were him.

Now holster that freeze ray, and get out of our way before you have a theme park full

of homicidal clones who are all just as tough as you think you are, lady.

That cloning lab?

I shut it down last night.

You got through the security door?

Yeah, I used an old holotape to trick the voice identification.

Killed all those Gatorclaw clones too.

You can, like totally, head back to California now.

Did you reseal the door to the cloning facility on your way out?

I killed all the raiders and monsters in the park.

Didn't think I'd need to lock the door.

Why, what's the big deal about this thing you're chasing?

And finally, to see a valley filled with my enemies' heads mounted on spears.

A silent valley, except for the wind whistling through their ears.

What's on the menu?

Gatorclaws?

No.

Let's try something more lethal, and downright better-lookin' too.

ED-NA, rendezvous with us at the Safari Adventure, and bring the new guys.

*affirming beep*

ED-NA and the backup bots are coming.

The new ones aren't up to full capacity yet.

A little slower than I'd like.

So, this cyborg guy is an android body, with a brain cloned from some Folk Hero from out

West?

The Vault Dweller.

The most dangerous person who's ever lived.

I did just wipe out three entire raider gangs.

Then I ate a mirelurk queen for breakfast.

What'd your Vault Dweller cyborg do, shewt a man just fer snorin' too loud?

He murdered Saint Louis-

Is that a biblical metaphor or something?

He killed dozens of people back in California, then slaughtered his way across the country,

and up the East Coast.

Good people died.

Friends of ours died.

Some could be rebuilt, others...

I see.

*clears throat*

If he's in that cloning lab, we could split up.

I found a back entrance that leads in from the Safari.

Or we could rush the main entrance if we had the firepower.

Tell me about these robots of yours.

*friendly beep*

This is ED-NA, she's got plenty of firepower.

The other two were prototypes for a new attraction that Nuka World had in development before

the war.

Allow me to introduce...

The Unstoppabots!

Greetings Unstoppables fans!

It's Unstopping time!

I'm the – Loading.

Hello children.

What are your names?

I am called Good Dog.

Rarff!

We'll have him at one hundred percent efficiency in...

Hello Good Dog and Rarrf.

I know a thing or two about robots.

And I think I speak this thing's language.

We could use- a little help.

A ha!

Greetings fellow crimefighter!

We meet again!

It's - my alternate universe counterpart from the parallel universe of Earth 122 where The

Silver Shroud is a woman.

I have not seen you since issue fifty six, "Meet the UnstoppaGirls".

Excelsior!

It's an honor to fight by your side again, old chum!

Is he gonna talk like that through the whole mission?

Indeed, my stalwart friend.

Justice has its own regional dialect!

And loyalty has a wet snout.

We'll have two teams. Let's split up.

We'll enter through the front.

The Shrouds will take the back.

Friend of mine calls that the "pincer attack".

Hold your fire until we're in position.

What if he already made a clone?

If he has a friend in there, they can cover both entrances.

Evil is ever myopic!

He will never see retribution lurking behind him!

My experience with clones is that they don't turn out as expected.

I did not like Gary.

Or the other Garies.

Gary?

Acquaintance of ours from down South, but that is a-

Let's get moving.

You always cut him off.

I don't even know this guy's name yet.

My name is-

-Princess twinkle panties.

Let's get in there now, or we'll end up fighting three or four copies of this guy.

Have I ever told you about a book called Frankenstein?

Very old story, and a bit long, but the point is that perfection doesn't happen on the first

try.

Bleargh ha ha huh?

Or the hundredth time.

Well, boys, how about we adjust the ratio of snails to puppy dog tails, and give it

another go?

Regulating Rideshare: The Rise of the Sharing Economy - Duration: 11:14.

I know we're supposed to think that's cool to drive an Uber from your Airbnb to

the assignment you found on TaskRabbit.

Isn't the sharing economy really the 'desperate economy?'

The 'sharing economy,' in a nutshell, is any platform that uses the internet to

connect dispersed networks of individuals.

That's a platform like Uber, Lyft, Airbnb that allows individuals – that is, people

who are looking for a place to stay or a ride – to connect with people who have spare

bedrooms or a willingness to give people rides.

There's a battle brewing on your next vacation.

On one side, big hotels – room prices skyrocketing.

The challenger?

Companies like Airbnb that offer short-term rentals typically at a fraction of the price

are booming.

The startup companies, like Postmates and Instacart, they aim to deliver anything from

seafood to shoes.

Her customers find her through TaskRabbit, an online service that matches customers with

taskers.

You have something like a triangular relationship, where you have an intermediary that is a platform

– an Uber or a Lyft or a TaskRabbit.

You have the worker and you have the customer, and it's the job of the intermediary to

marry the worker to the customer.

You talk about the 'sharing economy,' and not everybody agrees that that's the

best term for it.

The 'sharing economy' implies a sort of communalism that is not necessarily the case.

I'm not a big fan of the phrase 'sharing economy,' because it seems to imply, like,

a barter system.

The thing I think that's missing from calling it the 'sharing economy' is it implies

that everybody is kind of sharing in the benefits of this new economy, and that's not necessarily

true.

So the phrase that I've been using is the 'online gig economy.'

'Gig' sort of captures from the worker's perspective what's happening in that part

of the economy.

I use the term 'peer-to-peer economy,' because the 'peer-to-peer economy' explains

that individuals are using networks and platforms to connect with each other.

What we are calling the 'sharing economy' today might be thought of as a kind of hyper-capitalism.

Economic historians prefer the name 'experience economy.'

The 'experience economy,' the 'sharing economy,' the 'collaborative consumptive

economy' – whatever you want to call it – it's here to stay.

There's no doubt the sharing economy is disrupting traditional businesses.

The impact on hotel room revenue could actually be anywhere between 8% to 10%.

The taxi strike created traffic jams, and expressways were shut down by burning tires.

At the heart of the dispute is Uber.

Taxi drivers say it's putting them out of business.

You have to have a certain amount of that creative destruction in order to get the next

great innovative technology that moves us forward, and the sharing economy is doing

that right now.

It's just doing it faster than any other technology or sector that we've ever known

before.

Travel agents really don't exist.

Kayak, Travelocity…

We've basically disrupted an entire industry with an algorithm.

Resources that have long been thought of as personal resources – a personal car, somebody's

home or apartment – those resources are now being added into the economy.

They bring private parties together without anybody really setting those prices in most

of these markets.

It's just the price that will bring together a willing buyer and a willing seller.

And what we have is people competing with each other to drive those transaction costs

down across the economic spectrum and deliver higher quality goods and services to more

people at cheaper prices.

The whole sharing economy isn't just Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb – that's what's on

everybody's lips – but there are a lot of other smaller players, many of whom we

haven't heard of in the general public yet or that are coming about right now, that are

really exciting.

Entrepreneurial agility: changing to a changing environment.

That's going to be the currency of the 21st century as you continue to move on, when disruption

is going to be bubbling up all around you.

Not everybody is going to be the next Uber or Airbnb, but it's the fact that we had

that sort of vibrant, dynamic sort of marketplace, creative destruction and then new economy

birth, that's so exciting about the sharing economy.

Uber says it's just a technology company, putting passengers and drivers together.

The company says its drivers are independent contractors.

87% of Uber drivers say they work for Uber to "be my own boss and set my own schedule."

For the most part, I have the control.

They are really just a tool that I'm using to kind of process these transactions.

The whole peer-to-peer thing is amazing, and the fact that I have a choice in when I want

to work and who I want to pick up is huge for me.

I think that actually creates better work quality and more pride in work, because you

as an individual involved in this economy are responsible for your own outcomes.

If you love to do what you do, you're going to be more productive, you're going to be

more… you're going to be a better employee, you're going to be more creative.

As a society, we need to make some larger decisions about whether or not we want to

make sure that people are protected and that jobs are secure, which means not changing

very much or not changing quickly, or to allow rapid change to unfold in the hope and aspiration

that we'll end up with a better society, but accepting that that process can be stressful,

if not harmful, to certain people along the way.

You don't get all the benefits, for instance, that you would get if you were working at

a retail store full time, such as medical benefits and retirement plan and things like

that.

Particularly if you're a worker who has fewer skills than others do in our economy,

you're competing with a gigantic mass of people who are equally lesser skilled, and that has

the effect of driving down wages.

The ridesharing app has been in conflict with existing taxi fleets and regulators around

the world.

These low-cost, unregulated competitors will hasten the race to the bottom.

Whether Airbnb is breaking the law or just breaking the mold, the competitions means,

for now, consumers are winning.

The really amazing thing about the sharing economy when you get right down to it is we

can have distinct parties across the globe interacting with people in exciting new ways

without any sort of government intervention.

The law was not designed to deal with companies that are only facilitating this kind of work.

There needs to be some sort of regulatory catchup in terms of novel regulations that

acknowledge the fact that these innovative companies exist and will continue to exist,

but at the same time they have significant responsibilities to the communities in which

they operate.

So the question is should the 'sharing' or 'access economy' be regulated the same

way as the regular economy?

We're not doing a great job of regulating the regular economy, if we want to call it

that, in a sense that we have allowed ordinary, everyday, innocent, harmless economic transactions

to be encrusted by layer upon layer of regulation, many of them completely indefensible.

Taxi regulations don't make sense in a highly technologically driven society that we have.

Employers are endlessly creative in finding ways to innovate around and with regulations.

At the end of the day, whether or not they have a good product or a good service is going

to be what determines whether or not they succeed.

The reason that hotels cost more than Airbnb – at least one reason why – is that they're

regulated.

They have fire escapes.

They have safety protocols.

They have sanitation inspections.

And that just doesn't occur in the Airbnb world.

I think the government has to decide whether it's going to treat companies like Uber

or Lyft just like companies, or whether it's going to treat them as a partially regulated

or completely regulated industry, and I think that question is going to become more and

more urgent as the precursors to the sharing economy become less and less relevant.

Some people would try to regulate this economy before we understand it well enough to know

exactly how to regulate it, because they want to be safe and not sorry, but what are we

really afraid of?

People's main question is "Isn't that dangerous?" so I kind of explain it to them

like, "It's dangerous everywhere you go.

When you get on the train, when you go to work, when you get on the airplane, you're

next to strangers.

Strangers are everywhere, you know what I mean?"

As for regulation, says Nick Grossman, they are self-regulated by the customers who publicly

rate them.

The major innovation is this idea of generating trust and safety.

If you're a bad actor, we'll know.

If you're a great actor, people will know that, too.

If you think you've been mistreated or harmed or abused in any way, you can give instantaneous

feedback to the platform to say something didn't go right here.

There's always a tradeoff between making things safer and making them affordable, and

there's always a tradeoff between government regulation and freedom of choice, and that's

something as a society we need to reevaluate now that we have new tools to have new choices.

Innovators and entrepreneurs should be able to go forth and experiment with new technologies

without sort of heavy-handed, top-down, preemptive controls, and the sharing economy has sort

of rejuvenated this permissionless innovation idea and expanded it now to all sorts of sectors

that we previously thought were going to be regulated forever, but now we're seeing

that there's hope for a more innovative future because of this new model.

There's many good things about the sharing economy in terms of eliminating, in some areas,

bias, increasing economic opportunity for depressed communities, and giving access to

people like the disabled.

We have to ask ourselves the question "When innovation occurs in the economy, often without

any government involvement at all (as is true in the case here), does the innovation serve

our social purposes?"

It's not enough to innovate and even to make money off the innovation; we have to

ask ourselves "What does it mean for our economy?"

It's not just economics.

It's freedom.

It's liberty.

It's people being able to find each other and coordinate their affairs.

Not just the economy, but the world is better off when we have those kinds of interactions

happening.

That's wealth, that's prosperity, and it makes everybody's life better.

Turn your ideias into things (and happy 2017)! | Avenue Drawings - Duration: 6:07.

Hi guys! I'm Abraão, or Avenue

And we're here today in this set that doesn't make any sense

This is my bed

And there are some pillows there and my luminaire

Because a little bit of psychodelism is also great in this life

Something that doesn't make sense, something like that

I'll get back to the birds later

We're beginning a new year, it's already 2017

2016 was so fast, I didn't understand anything

I was thinking if I was going to make any new videos about this and I had 0 ideias

But finally this came out in my head this first day (actually it's day 2 I'm recording this)

So we can talk a bit about our ideias and about turning them into reality

So, let's talk about it and then I want you to comment down below too

2017 is starting and I wanted to encourage everyone and myself to keep working on our ideias

And for those who haven't started it yet, to start it now!

And this is truly for everyone!

Here I'm talking to you, guys, and I think that probably most of you make art

Draw, paint, sculpt, write, make music, I don't know!

2016 was a year kinda crazy, I had some great experiences

But it was a year in which I started working on some of my ideas

Mainly related to drawing, I started drawing more, started projects that I canceled after

But it was a year I took a step forward at least

For example, this channel! I didn't expect to be talking to you right now

When I created this it was just to upload my speed art videos

and spred my art a bit more

But it turned into something else

This year I got happy with myself for doing things I believe and that I want for my life

And I want you guys to do it too!

Many times when we think about our ideias and what we want to do

We get so scared to ruin everything or we get scared because

we think this idea is going to be the only good one and the last one we'll ever get

So we keep procrastinating waiting for the "right moment"

But I think we shoudn't hold ourselves back so much

It's better to let things out, 'cause when we do this, we open space just so we can get other ideias

And just so we can work on it just like before

For example, when I started drawing hair

In the beginning of 2016

Things we're cool but I got tired of it and

But like, it was a project that I wasn't sure where was it going

If I was gonna keep doing them

But they we're important just so I could get better ideas

I added this hairy concept on other drawings

I think you already noticed

And I still got many ideas related to this to work on

So I guess we don't need to be so scared, 'cause when we work on something it will flow

Think about a writer

When someone writes a book that person don't know already each word that will be written

She plans, separate how things will go, what the characters will do and say

But probably that person will revisit the story and will erase things she written and add some better ideias

so I think that's it, I works in everything in our lives

We don't need to think about just our biggest dreams

It can be small things!

Maybe you want to buy a cool bracelet, cut a shirt you have

Dye your hair, take a new hairstyle

I don't know, change you glasses

Anything!

Visit a new place in your own town

I think it's cool to do those things just so we can truly live

And even if things are difficult at the time

If we stuck it'll be even harder so

It doesn't make sense to do nothing

Let's keep doing our stuff and any time we can get there

And let's work on those little desires too

Let's move on!

Another thing you can think about is, imagine if you live your life and then it all ends, you die

And you didn't put your ideias out of your head

You let the universe be without your ideias

You could've helped someone, you could have inspired people

So let's go, let's take this positive energy and do anything we want to

These little things, let's go together

I don't know if things will work but we can do our best, can't we?

I wish you a happy 2017, wish you peace, ideias, art

Hope we can keep getting here together and on social media

Hope we can share experiences

Hope we create a lot

Hope we can get love, from family, friends, someone special, your pets, your plants, the books you read, YOURSELF!

Take love from where you can

Let's keep together in this crazy life, ok?

I hope you liked this video and that we can get inspired!

Comment down below what you think about this too

So we can share experiences and positive vibes

Subscribe to this channel just so you won't miss a thing

See you later, follow me on my social media, kisses and BYE!

Greetings Unstopables fans!

It's...

Unstopping time!

Join me, The Silver Shroud-

It's time for your favorite show, sweetie.

-Barbarian-

-and the rest of the Unstoppables team for another exciting Adventure.

Today's episode: Return of The Abominable Five!

But first... a few words from our friends at Nuka Cola.

What if there was a place with all the zip of Nuka-Cola?

Wouldn't that be the cheer-cheer-cheeriest place in all the world?

Where the river's made of Quantum, And the mountaintops are fizz

Vault 111?

You're-

You're that woman who's been looking all over the Commonwealth for your kid.

Never should have let Piper write that stupid article.

Now every raider psycho in the wasteland knows my business.

I'm not a raider.

Helen Tanner, New California Republic Rangers.

California?

Didn't that fall off into the ocean or something?

She's not the cyborg.

Ya don't say.

Brotherhood of Steel.

Thought you said you were with the California Commandos or something.

I'm not really with him.

He's more like a drunken uncle that follows me around and doesn't know when to shut up.

And you're like some lady I woke up next to in a Vegas hotel room, and don't know how

to get rid of.

When my team found you, you were wandering around the desert yapping at anyone in earshot.

If it weren't for me, you'd be sitting on a cactus stump outside of Novac, arguing with

No Bark Noonan about where Wannamingoes come from!

Before the war we had something called "Marriage counseling."

I'm guessing you don't have that in the future.

We're not-

The future?

You're that woman from Vault 111.

Piper.

Just got out of cryofreeze from the Back When times.

Yeah, yeah yeah, I'm the cave woman from the primitive Twenty First Century.

Love what ya done with the planet while I was asleep.

Now, why are you, Dorothy, and Toto trying to kill me?

We're chasing something more dangerous than all the raiders in Nuka World.

Me?

I'd love to stop and hear your story, Ma'am, but we're on our way to-

I'm the Overboss here, pal.

You don't go anywhere in my park unless I say you do.

*Dogmeat growls*

Well hello, handsome!

Did your dog just talk?

Talking cyberdogs became quite common in-

We're trying to keep an insane cybernetic monster from getting into the cloning labs

under Safari Adventure.

We thought you were him.

Now holster that freeze ray, and get out of our way before you have a theme park full

of homicidal clones who are all just as tough as you think you are, lady.

That cloning lab?

I shut it down last night.

You got through the security door?

Yeah, I used an old holotape to trick the voice identification.

Killed all those Gatorclaw clones too.

You can, like totally, head back to California now.

Did you reseal the door to the cloning facility on your way out?

I killed all the raiders and monsters in the park.

Didn't think I'd need to lock the door.

Why, what's the big deal about this thing you're chasing?

And finally, to see a valley filled with my enemies' heads mounted on spears.

A silent valley, except for the wind whistling through their ears.

What's on the menu?

Gatorclaws?

No.

Let's try something more lethal, and downright better-lookin' too.

ED-NA, rendezvous with us at the Safari Adventure, and bring the new guys.

*affirming beep*

ED-NA and the backup bots are coming.

The new ones aren't up to full capacity yet.

A little slower than I'd like.

So, this cyborg guy is an android body, with a brain cloned from some Folk Hero from out

West?

The Vault Dweller.

The most dangerous person who's ever lived.

I did just wipe out three entire raider gangs.

Then I ate a mirelurk queen for breakfast.

What'd your Vault Dweller cyborg do, shewt a man just fer snorin' too loud?

He murdered Saint Louis-

Is that a biblical metaphor or something?

He killed dozens of people back in California, then slaughtered his way across the country,

and up the East Coast.

Good people died.

Friends of ours died.

Some could be rebuilt, others...

I see.

*clears throat*

If he's in that cloning lab, we could split up.

I found a back entrance that leads in from the Safari.

Or we could rush the main entrance if we had the firepower.

Tell me about these robots of yours.

*friendly beep*

This is ED-NA, she's got plenty of firepower.

The other two were prototypes for a new attraction that Nuka World had in development before

the war.

Regulating Rideshare: The Rise of the Sharing Economy - Duration: 11:14.

I know we're supposed to think that's cool to drive an Uber from your Airbnb to

the assignment you found on TaskRabbit.

Isn't the sharing economy really the 'desperate economy?'

The 'sharing economy,' in a nutshell, is any platform that uses the internet to

connect dispersed networks of individuals.

That's a platform like Uber, Lyft, Airbnb that allows individuals – that is, people

who are looking for a place to stay or a ride – to connect with people who have spare

bedrooms or a willingness to give people rides.

There's a battle brewing on your next vacation.

On one side, big hotels – room prices skyrocketing.

The challenger?

Companies like Airbnb that offer short-term rentals typically at a fraction of the price

are booming.

The startup companies, like Postmates and Instacart, they aim to deliver anything from

seafood to shoes.

Her customers find her through TaskRabbit, an online service that matches customers with

taskers.

You have something like a triangular relationship, where you have an intermediary that is a platform

– an Uber or a Lyft or a TaskRabbit.

You have the worker and you have the customer, and it's the job of the intermediary to

marry the worker to the customer.

You talk about the 'sharing economy,' and not everybody agrees that that's the

best term for it.

The 'sharing economy' implies a sort of communalism that is not necessarily the case.

I'm not a big fan of the phrase 'sharing economy,' because it seems to imply, like,

a barter system.

The thing I think that's missing from calling it the 'sharing economy' is it implies

that everybody is kind of sharing in the benefits of this new economy, and that's not necessarily

true.

So the phrase that I've been using is the 'online gig economy.'

'Gig' sort of captures from the worker's perspective what's happening in that part

of the economy.

I use the term 'peer-to-peer economy,' because the 'peer-to-peer economy' explains

that individuals are using networks and platforms to connect with each other.

What we are calling the 'sharing economy' today might be thought of as a kind of hyper-capitalism.

Economic historians prefer the name 'experience economy.'

The 'experience economy,' the 'sharing economy,' the 'collaborative consumptive

economy' – whatever you want to call it – it's here to stay.

There's no doubt the sharing economy is disrupting traditional businesses.

The impact on hotel room revenue could actually be anywhere between 8% to 10%.

The taxi strike created traffic jams, and expressways were shut down by burning tires.

At the heart of the dispute is Uber.

Taxi drivers say it's putting them out of business.

You have to have a certain amount of that creative destruction in order to get the next

great innovative technology that moves us forward, and the sharing economy is doing

that right now.

It's just doing it faster than any other technology or sector that we've ever known

before.

Travel agents really don't exist.

Kayak, Travelocity…

We've basically disrupted an entire industry with an algorithm.

Resources that have long been thought of as personal resources – a personal car, somebody's

home or apartment – those resources are now being added into the economy.

They bring private parties together without anybody really setting those prices in most

of these markets.

It's just the price that will bring together a willing buyer and a willing seller.

And what we have is people competing with each other to drive those transaction costs

down across the economic spectrum and deliver higher quality goods and services to more

people at cheaper prices.

The whole sharing economy isn't just Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb – that's what's on

everybody's lips – but there are a lot of other smaller players, many of whom we

haven't heard of in the general public yet or that are coming about right now, that are

really exciting.

Entrepreneurial agility: changing to a changing environment.

That's going to be the currency of the 21st century as you continue to move on, when disruption

is going to be bubbling up all around you.

Not everybody is going to be the next Uber or Airbnb, but it's the fact that we had

that sort of vibrant, dynamic sort of marketplace, creative destruction and then new economy

birth, that's so exciting about the sharing economy.

Uber says it's just a technology company, putting passengers and drivers together.

The company says its drivers are independent contractors.

87% of Uber drivers say they work for Uber to "be my own boss and set my own schedule."

For the most part, I have the control.

They are really just a tool that I'm using to kind of process these transactions.

The whole peer-to-peer thing is amazing, and the fact that I have a choice in when I want

to work and who I want to pick up is huge for me.

I think that actually creates better work quality and more pride in work, because you

as an individual involved in this economy are responsible for your own outcomes.

If you love to do what you do, you're going to be more productive, you're going to be

more… you're going to be a better employee, you're going to be more creative.

As a society, we need to make some larger decisions about whether or not we want to

make sure that people are protected and that jobs are secure, which means not changing

very much or not changing quickly, or to allow rapid change to unfold in the hope and aspiration

that we'll end up with a better society, but accepting that that process can be stressful,

if not harmful, to certain people along the way.

You don't get all the benefits, for instance, that you would get if you were working at

a retail store full time, such as medical benefits and retirement plan and things like

that.

Particularly if you're a worker who has fewer skills than others do in our economy,

you're competing with a gigantic mass of people who are equally lesser skilled, and that has

the effect of driving down wages.

The ridesharing app has been in conflict with existing taxi fleets and regulators around

the world.

These low-cost, unregulated competitors will hasten the race to the bottom.

Whether Airbnb is breaking the law or just breaking the mold, the competitions means,

for now, consumers are winning.

The really amazing thing about the sharing economy when you get right down to it is we

can have distinct parties across the globe interacting with people in exciting new ways

without any sort of government intervention.

The law was not designed to deal with companies that are only facilitating this kind of work.

There needs to be some sort of regulatory catchup in terms of novel regulations that

acknowledge the fact that these innovative companies exist and will continue to exist,

but at the same time they have significant responsibilities to the communities in which

they operate.

So the question is should the 'sharing' or 'access economy' be regulated the same

way as the regular economy?

We're not doing a great job of regulating the regular economy, if we want to call it

that, in a sense that we have allowed ordinary, everyday, innocent, harmless economic transactions

to be encrusted by layer upon layer of regulation, many of them completely indefensible.

Taxi regulations don't make sense in a highly technologically driven society that we have.

Employers are endlessly creative in finding ways to innovate around and with regulations.

At the end of the day, whether or not they have a good product or a good service is going

to be what determines whether or not they succeed.

The reason that hotels cost more than Airbnb – at least one reason why – is that they're

regulated.

They have fire escapes.

They have safety protocols.

They have sanitation inspections.

And that just doesn't occur in the Airbnb world.

I think the government has to decide whether it's going to treat companies like Uber

or Lyft just like companies, or whether it's going to treat them as a partially regulated

or completely regulated industry, and I think that question is going to become more and

more urgent as the precursors to the sharing economy become less and less relevant.

Some people would try to regulate this economy before we understand it well enough to know

exactly how to regulate it, because they want to be safe and not sorry, but what are we

really afraid of?

People's main question is "Isn't that dangerous?" so I kind of explain it to them

like, "It's dangerous everywhere you go.

When you get on the train, when you go to work, when you get on the airplane, you're

next to strangers.

Strangers are everywhere, you know what I mean?"

As for regulation, says Nick Grossman, they are self-regulated by the customers who publicly

rate them.

The major innovation is this idea of generating trust and safety.

If you're a bad actor, we'll know.

If you're a great actor, people will know that, too.

If you think you've been mistreated or harmed or abused in any way, you can give instantaneous

feedback to the platform to say something didn't go right here.

There's always a tradeoff between making things safer and making them affordable, and

there's always a tradeoff between government regulation and freedom of choice, and that's

something as a society we need to reevaluate now that we have new tools to have new choices.

Innovators and entrepreneurs should be able to go forth and experiment with new technologies

without sort of heavy-handed, top-down, preemptive controls, and the sharing economy has sort

of rejuvenated this permissionless innovation idea and expanded it now to all sorts of sectors

that we previously thought were going to be regulated forever, but now we're seeing

that there's hope for a more innovative future because of this new model.

There's many good things about the sharing economy in terms of eliminating, in some areas,

bias, increasing economic opportunity for depressed communities, and giving access to

people like the disabled.

We have to ask ourselves the question "When innovation occurs in the economy, often without

any government involvement at all (as is true in the case here), does the innovation serve

our social purposes?"

It's not enough to innovate and even to make money off the innovation; we have to

ask ourselves "What does it mean for our economy?"

It's not just economics.

It's freedom.

It's liberty.

It's people being able to find each other and coordinate their affairs.

Not just the economy, but the world is better off when we have those kinds of interactions

happening.

That's wealth, that's prosperity, and it makes everybody's life better.

Power BI - Reading files from a folder since November 2016 upgrade - Duration: 21:11.

I am Marcel Beugelsdijk from The Netherlands

In this video we will take a closer look at the functionality of importing and combining

files from a folder since the November 2016 upgrade of Power BI Desktop.

It's quite a long video. Below the video you will find links to the various subjects so you can

jump back and forth as you like.

Subjects covered:

Explanation of the used case: so we will combine Excel files from a folder

that includes clock changes for each Windows time zone in the period 2000 to 2027.

So the date/times in any time zone can be converted to date/times in any other time zone.

A quick demo of importing and combining files from a folder.

Explanation of the objects and query steps created automatically when files are combined.

A specific point of attention for which I raised an idea for improvement.

Adjustment of generated code to filter input for a specific year only.

First without parameters and then with parameters.

And there is a specific point of attention as well.

So, let's give it a start.

In this folder, I have a collection of Excel files,

with date and time stamps the clock is changing between the year 2000 and 2027

for each Windows time zone.

Let's take a look at one of the files.

It includes the UTC time stamp starting with January first, 2000

and the local time - "Lokaal" is Dutch for "local" - for this time zone it's also midnight at

January first, 2000.

And then for each change of clocks, so typically that would be Daylight Saving Time

start and end, or just a change in policy to adjust clocks, there will be an entry in the list.

This is created from a Power Query query and the files for each time zone are the same.

Basically what I did was create the first file, have the query run, then save it,

then adjust the time zone on my local computer, then run the query again,

and save it with the name of the new time zone and so forth and so forth for 130 time zones.

Each file has the same structure, which is important,

and all output is in a table named TimeTable

You also should notice that the name of the Windows time zone is not in the file,

not in the data, but it is included in the name of the file, so if we want to combine the files,

with all the time stamps for all the Windows time zones,

then we also need the name of the file.

Montevideo on the third of February, 2020, 5 minutes to 5,

it will be already fourth of February 2020, 5 minutes to 7 in Bougainville,

So with the combined data it is possible to calculate the time in one time zone

based on the time in another time zone.

Now, I've come to the quick demo on importing and combining files from a folder.

So, I have a new file in Power BI, I select Get Data, More...

from a folder.

I use the folder over here, so I copy the path...

...paste it over here.

OK

Edit

I need to do some filtering on Excel files

And they should start with "UTC"

Open parenthesis UTC, to be exact.

So OK, now we have all the files that we need,

And we can now combine those files with the new functionality, if we press the button,

then we need to select which part of the Excel file we need, well we need the TimeTables,

the tables "TimeTable"

When we press OK...

...there we have the result we want, with the file names in the first column,

the UTC time in the second column, and the third column is the local time for that time zone

at the specified UTC time.

So far the quick demo.

We are now at the explanation of the objects and query steps that are created automatically

when files are combined from a folder.

We were over here before we pressed "Combine Binaries".

4 steps are added to the query, but - in order to understand those steps -

we first have to take a look at the objects that were created at the left hand side.

These are all grouped now, so our own query is over here,

In the group "Other Queries".

And a group "Transform Binary from DateTimeTables" was added automatically.

So the functionality of combining files consists of a sample file

with a sample query that is wrapped into a function that can be used for the other files.

So what we see are the objects over here:

First we have the Sample Binary that is the example file.

This query consists of the query steps we already had

and - if we take a look at the advanced editor -

well, this is the new step that is added:

basically it states that we use the Casablanca file as an example file.

In this query - that was also automatically created - we can see the source:

these are the Excel objects in the Casablanca file.

and the navigation is what we specified on the popup screen in the short demo:

this is the navigation to the item "Table" of the kind "Table" in the file for Casablanca.

So this will be used as an example for all the other files as well.

For this goal, this query - if we take a look at the advanced editor again - let's copy, cancel

This part is wrapped into a function for general use.

So if we go into the editor then we will see a message popping up:

stating that this function is automatically updated whenever that sample query is updated,

So that's fine for now (I won't update it, except if I paste the code we had from the sample query)

then we can see it's exactly this part of the function,

so this code is wrapped into a function with the parameter: the file contents.

So the name of that parameter is "Sample Binary Parameter".

If I go back to the objects, then we can see this parameter

which is pointing to the Sample Binary file.

So again: in the example query of the sample file, we can see

the "Source" where the parameter is used.

This parameter is used to point to the Sample Binary file,

which is the file for Casablanca, which is the first file in the folder.

And that is used in the function...

...also as a parameter, but now you should notice, that

this parameter is the parameter of the function,

so input is whatever content is supplied to the function,

That is used to convert the Excel file binary into a table in Power Query.

So this parameter is the LOCAL parameter for the function, whereas in the query...

...the parameter that is used, is not the local parameter,

but that is THIS parameter pointing to the sample file,

So again: the Sample Binary is used as an example;

the parameter is used so the exact contents of this sample query

can be included in this function.

Whenever we adjust something in the sample query, it will also be adjusted in the function.

So these are the objects that are created.

Now we can take a look at the additional steps that were added in our query.

So the first one is that the function is invoked.

That is the custom function that was created by the software

when we pressed "Combine Binaries".

Well, a new column is added to our table.

The query that is called, is this transform query.

And the parameter for that query now is the content

meaning each of the binary files from our folder.

If we go to the right in the table,

then we will see all the tables over here as a result from the "Invoke Custom Function" step

in our query, so this is the file for Casablanca,

this is another file and so on, each table, based on the sample query, using that function.

The next step is a rename of the " Name" column.

It is renamed to "Source.Name" to avoid any conflicts with a column with the name "Name"

in the Excel files, when the table is expanded later on.

So that's the only reason that this step is included.

Then, there is another step that removes all the other columns from the navigation table,

so we are left with the file name and the tables, exactly what we want in our case,

but if you would like to have some more columns,

then you can still choose the additional columns from the navigation table

like the "Date Modified"...

...and it will be included in the results of the combining binaries,

which is a huge improvement with the functionality that was introduced

in November 2016.

But we only need the Source.Name and the contents of the binary.

And the last step of course, is: the table will be expanded.

So again - as a wrap up - when we press "Combine Binaries" -

a sample file is created, with a parameter pointing to that sample file,

a query is created for the conversion of the file into a Power Query table.

That example query is wrapped into a function that is used for all the other files in the folder,

to have that converted to a Power Query table.

And then, there is some rename and selection of columns and expanding the table.

So basically, that's the functionality introduced with Power BI Desktop, November 2016 update.

We are now at the specific point of attention for which I raised an idea for improvement.

So let's take a look.

In the Sample Binary there is a hard coded link to the Casablanca file in the folder.

If that file would no longer exist, for instance we rename it with an additional parenthesis,

If we update, refresh, this query, so our master query,

it will still go fine.

But if we want to do something with this query, and have it refreshed,

then we get an error because the file doesn't exist any longer.

So, in order to solve that, I raised an Idea

bascially to have...

...this hardcoded line, replaced by...

...another code. Basically what is done is: the first row of this table, so the last step before

combining binaries, is taken as an example.

So all we need is...

... that file ...

... and instead of this double key, so the folder path and the file name,

we only use zero, pointing to the first row in the table

and then the content of that table

Adjust this name: SampleBinary.

And now we have a dynamic sample binary pointing to the first file in the folder,

whichever selection we have done.

So we will not be dependent anymore of the existence of a specific file in the folder.

So you can see I raised this Idea

to have the "combine binaries" functionality independent

from the existence of a particular file.

At this moment, the Idea has 5 votes already, but if you want to vote also,

then please go ahead.

We are now at the part of the video

where we are going to adjust the generated code to filter the input for specific years only.

We will adjust this query

and remember: all the adjustments we apply to this query

will be propagated to this function as well, as we will see.

So what we wanna to do, is get all the entries starting with a specific year,

so let's say we want to have the years 2016 and 2017.

We also need the last row before that date, so we should start with the last date on or before

January first, 2016, and then select everything including these entries,

so we have the years 2016 and 2017.

So now we have the desired data, so we can

cover the years 2016 and 2017 from this selection.

If we take a look at the function: it is indeed adjusted

with our adjustments of the sample query.

So these selections will now be applied to all the tables from the folder we selected.

We can see it's refreshed already, so this is the desired output.

Now if we want to use a parameter for that,

so instead of hardcoded start dates and end dates, over here and over here,

we want to have a parameter.

Now we are going to use these parameters in the example query.

2016 is the first year.

LastYear instead of hardcoded 2017.

So this is working fine.

But if we go now to the master query, there is a point of attention:

We get an expression error.

Because: 2 parameters are added to our function.

The function is also adjusted, and now includes those additional parameters

FirstYear and LastYear.

So when we use parameters in our adjusted sample query

these will be propagated to the function as well

but not to the code in our master query

so in this code, we need to add the new parameters FirstYear and LastYear.

We can not do that over here, as you can see, because it expects a decimal number.

So instead of doing it over there, we have to do it over here.

And it's working fine now.

So now we have the years 2016 and 2018.

And when we adjust this year

Last year for instance 2020

then we will get additional data in our table.

So beware of adding parameters in your sample query:

these will be propogated to the function, but not to your master query

and in order to have that corrected, you need to go into the function bar

and add the names of the parameters that were added to the function.

Then everything will be working fine.

As a last example: if we want to adjust the data type for these columns in our sample query,

to datetime...

...and we take a look at

at these columns, then we see that the date type was not propagated to all the files.

in the folder. So we have to reapply that in the final result.

Because the example query is used to create all these tables,

but later on these tables get expanded and then apparently the data type gets lost

so it seems to be pretty useless to adjust the data type in the example query.

That will be the end of the video. Thanks for your attention!

The 'sharing economy,' in a nutshell, is any platform that uses the internet to

who are looking for a place to stay or a ride – to connect with people who have spare

bedrooms or a willingness to give people rides.

There's a battle brewing on your next vacation.

On one side, big hotels – room prices skyrocketing.

The challenger?

Companies like Airbnb that offer short-term rentals typically at a fraction of the price

are booming.

The startup companies, like Postmates and Instacart, they aim to deliver anything from

seafood to shoes.

Her customers find her through TaskRabbit, an online service that matches customers with

taskers.

You have something like a triangular relationship, where you have an intermediary that is a platform

– an Uber or a Lyft or a TaskRabbit.

You have the worker and you have the customer, and it's the job of the intermediary to

marry the worker to the customer.

You talk about the 'sharing economy,' and not everybody agrees that that's the

best term for it.

The 'sharing economy' implies a sort of communalism that is not necessarily the case.

I'm not a big fan of the phrase 'sharing economy,' because it seems to imply, like,

a barter system.

The thing I think that's missing from calling it the 'sharing economy' is it implies

that everybody is kind of sharing in the benefits of this new economy, and that's not necessarily

true.

So the phrase that I've been using is the 'online gig economy.'

'Gig' sort of captures from the worker's perspective what's happening in that part

of the economy.

I use the term 'peer-to-peer economy,' because the 'peer-to-peer economy' explains

that individuals are using networks and platforms to connect with each other.

What we are calling the 'sharing economy' today might be thought of as a kind of hyper-capitalism.

Economic historians prefer the name 'experience economy.'

The 'experience economy,' the 'sharing economy,' the 'collaborative consumptive

economy' – whatever you want to call it – it's here to stay.

There's no doubt the sharing economy is disrupting traditional businesses.

The impact on hotel room revenue could actually be anywhere between 8% to 10%.

The taxi strike created traffic jams, and expressways were shut down by burning tires.

At the heart of the dispute is Uber.

Taxi drivers say it's putting them out of business.

You have to have a certain amount of that creative destruction in order to get the next

great innovative technology that moves us forward, and the sharing economy is doing

that right now.

It's just doing it faster than any other technology or sector that we've ever known

before.

Travel agents really don't exist.

Kayak, Travelocity…

We've basically disrupted an entire industry with an algorithm.

Resources that have long been thought of as personal resources – a personal car, somebody's

home or apartment – those resources are now being added into the economy.

They bring private parties together without anybody really setting those prices in most

of these markets.

It's just the price that will bring together a willing buyer and a willing seller.

And what we have is people competing with each other to drive those transaction costs

down across the economic spectrum and deliver higher quality goods and services to more

people at cheaper prices.

The whole sharing economy isn't just Uber, Lyft, and Airbnb – that's what's on

everybody's lips – but there are a lot of other smaller players, many of whom we

haven't heard of in the general public yet or that are coming about right now, that are

really exciting.

Entrepreneurial agility: changing to a changing environment.

That's going to be the currency of the 21st century as you continue to move on, when disruption

is going to be bubbling up all around you.

Not everybody is going to be the next Uber or Airbnb, but it's the fact that we had

that sort of vibrant, dynamic sort of marketplace, creative destruction and then new economy

birth, that's so exciting about the sharing economy.

Uber says it's just a technology company, putting passengers and drivers together.

The company says its drivers are independent contractors.

87% of Uber drivers say they work for Uber to "be my own boss and set my own schedule."

For the most part, I have the control.

They are really just a tool that I'm using to kind of process these transactions.

The whole peer-to-peer thing is amazing, and the fact that I have a choice in when I want

to work and who I want to pick up is huge for me.

I think that actually creates better work quality and more pride in work, because you

as an individual involved in this economy are responsible for your own outcomes.

If you love to do what you do, you're going to be more productive, you're going to be

more… you're going to be a better employee, you're going to be more creative.

As a society, we need to make some larger decisions about whether or not we want to

make sure that people are protected and that jobs are secure, which means not changing

very much or not changing quickly, or to allow rapid change to unfold in the hope and aspiration

that we'll end up with a better society, but accepting that that process can be stressful,

if not harmful, to certain people along the way.

You don't get all the benefits, for instance, that you would get if you were working at

a retail store full time, such as medical benefits and retirement plan and things like

that.

Particularly if you're a worker who has fewer skills than others do in our economy,

you're competing with a gigantic mass of people who are equally lesser skilled, and that has

the effect of driving down wages.

The ridesharing app has been in conflict with existing taxi fleets and regulators around

the world.

These low-cost, unregulated competitors will hasten the race to the bottom.

Whether Airbnb is breaking the law or just breaking the mold, the competitions means,

for now, consumers are winning.

The really amazing thing about the sharing economy when you get right down to it is we

can have distinct parties across the globe interacting with people in exciting new ways

without any sort of government intervention.

The law was not designed to deal with companies that are only facilitating this kind of work.

There needs to be some sort of regulatory catchup in terms of novel regulations that

acknowledge the fact that these innovative companies exist and will continue to exist,

but at the same time they have significant responsibilities to the communities in which

they operate.

So the question is should the 'sharing' or 'access economy' be regulated the same

way as the regular economy?

We're not doing a great job of regulating the regular economy, if we want to call it

that, in a sense that we have allowed ordinary, everyday, innocent, harmless economic transactions

to be encrusted by layer upon layer of regulation, many of them completely indefensible.

Taxi regulations don't make sense in a highly technologically driven society that we have.

Employers are endlessly creative in finding ways to innovate around and with regulations.

At the end of the day, whether or not they have a good product or a good service is going

to be what determines whether or not they succeed.

The reason that hotels cost more than Airbnb – at least one reason why – is that they're

regulated.

They have fire escapes.

They have safety protocols.

They have sanitation inspections.

And that just doesn't occur in the Airbnb world.

I think the government has to decide whether it's going to treat companies like Uber

or Lyft just like companies, or whether it's going to treat them as a partially regulated

or completely regulated industry, and I think that question is going to become more and

more urgent as the precursors to the sharing economy become less and less relevant.

Some people would try to regulate this economy before we understand it well enough to know

exactly how to regulate it, because they want to be safe and not sorry, but what are we

really afraid of?

People's main question is "Isn't that dangerous?" so I kind of explain it to them

like, "It's dangerous everywhere you go.

When you get on the train, when you go to work, when you get on the airplane, you're

next to strangers.

Strangers are everywhere, you know what I mean?"

As for regulation, says Nick Grossman, they are self-regulated by the customers who publicly

rate them.

The major innovation is this idea of generating trust and safety.

If you're a bad actor, we'll know.

If you're a great actor, people will know that, too.

If you think you've been mistreated or harmed or abused in any way, you can give instantaneous

feedback to the platform to say something didn't go right here.

There's always a tradeoff between making things safer and making them affordable, and

there's always a tradeoff between government regulation and freedom of choice, and that's

something as a society we need to reevaluate now that we have new tools to have new choices.

Innovators and entrepreneurs should be able to go forth and experiment with new technologies

without sort of heavy-handed, top-down, preemptive controls, and the sharing economy has sort

of rejuvenated this permissionless innovation idea and expanded it now to all sorts of sectors

that we previously thought were going to be regulated forever, but now we're seeing

that there's hope for a more innovative future because of this new model.

There's many good things about the sharing economy in terms of eliminating, in some areas,

bias, increasing economic opportunity for depressed communities, and giving access to

people like the disabled.

We have to ask ourselves the question "When innovation occurs in the economy, often without

any government involvement at all (as is true in the case here), does the innovation serve

our social purposes?"

It's not enough to innovate and even to make money off the innovation; we have to

ask ourselves "What does it mean for our economy?"

It's not just economics.

It's freedom.

It's liberty.

It's people being able to find each other and coordinate their affairs.

Not just the economy, but the world is better off when we have those kinds of interactions

happening.

That's wealth, that's prosperity, and it makes everybody's life better.

YouTube Mistakes To Avoid And How To Fix Them - Duration: 6:35.

YouTube Mistakes To Avoid And How To Fix Them When starting or growing a YouTube channel

you make mistakes that waste you or your viewers time.

These mistakes can easily be avoided if you know what to look out for.

Stay tuned for the top YouTube Mistakes you can avoid and how to fix them

Make sure you subscribe to my channel to receive more video tutorials like this one every week

First we are going to deal with Mindset Mistakes Unclear purpose

If you aren't clear about why you want to set up a YouTube Channel you'll soon lose

interest and stop spending time creating videos.

Instead pursue a niche that you're passionate about so on days that you lack motivation

you'll still have the drive to keep going.

No goals Goals are like a road map to your destination.

If you don't set a goal for yourself or for your YouTube channel you'll take less

and less action which leads to lack of results.

For example your internal goal maybe to have an impact on as many people as possible in

your niche.

Your external goal maybe to generate 10,000 subscribers to your channel by the end of

the year.

No target audience If you don't know who to target then you'll

create videos for people who aren't interested in your content.

For example if your niche is about running you want to create content that appeals to

people who are interested in running.

Unappealing content If your audience is not interested in your

content, they are not going to keep watching your videos.

One of the best ways to create content that people are interested in, is to type a keyword

into the search box of Google or YouTube.

You'll get a bunch of suggestions related to your main keyword.

Channel Mistakes Many beginner youtubers forget to optimize

their channel for their visitors.

When people first visit your channel they want them to immediately know what your channel

is all about.

Therefore create a channel banner and add a channel trailer that reflects the content

that you're going to create.

Include a description of your channel content on your about page.

Also organize the content on your home page so it's easy to find.

Let's talk about Video mistakes Improper camera use

Most people these days just use their iPhone to record video but it needs to be high quality

video that you record.

For example make sure that your whole body takes up the frame in the viewfinder.

Also make sure that your eyes are level with the view finder and look straight into the

lens of the camera instead of looking off to side like this.

Blurry shots You videos will be blurry if you don't focus

on the object.

To prevent that from happening place an object in front of the camera and lock the focus

of the camera.

When you're ready to go replace the object with yourself.

Poor lighting Poor lighting in your video will give the

impression you don't know what you're doing.

When I began making videos, I just went outside to use the daylight.

Later on I just pinned the bed sheet to the wall then purchased a few cheap lights to

light up the background.

Lack of confidence on camera If you speak softly and use a monotone voice

you won't keep your viewers engaged.

When appearing on camera you lose a certain amount of energy so speak a little louder

and vary the tone of your voice to keep your viewers engaged.

Not looking into the camera lens If you look to the side of the l camera, it

doesn't look like I'm actually talking to you, however if I look straight into the

camera lens, then it looks like I'm engaged with you.

Bad audio When I first created videos I just used the

built-in mic of my phone camera.

This was a big mistake because I often got background noise particularly if I was outside.

If I was inside the audio sounded echoey or metallic.

If you use an iPhone I highly recommend the Rode SmartLav+ Microphone.

It records great sound.

Click the card icon to check out my review of the Rode SmartLav Plus Microphone

Rambling Avoid rambling in your videos.

If you don't get to the point quickly you'll soon lose your viewers.

Use the first few seconds to hook your viewers.

For example you can say "in this video I'm going to talk about the YouTube mistakes to

avoid and how to fix them".

No call to action If you want to attract more viewers and subscribers

to your channel, include a call to action by using end cards and end screens.

Encourage viewers to keep watch related videos by including them in your end screen.

Let's talk about video mistakes Lack of editing

Don't waste the precious time of your viewers by not editing out the ums, ahs, ramblings

and mistakes made during the recording process.

Use a video editor such as Screenflow for the Mac or Camtasia for the PC to edit out

your mistakes or to spice up your videos.

Poor thumbnails Don't use the auto-generated thumbnails

that YouTube produces.

They won't make your video listings stand out in the search engines.

Instead create a custom thumbnail by using the free graphics editor such as canva.

Lack of optimization Your video won't appear in Google or YouTube

if you don't optimize it after uploading it to your channel.

Make sure you include your main keyword in the title, description and tags so it will

be found in the search engines.

Don't copy other channels Avoid copying the channel art, thumbnails,

title, description and tags of other channels.

Instead try to use your own unique voice and graphics to make your channel stand out from

millions of others.

Lack of promotion Don't expect your video to go viral just

by uploading it to your channel.

Make sure you share it on your social media sites, embed it on your own website and also

join other groups and forums where you can share your videos.

Avoid asking sub for sub when commenting on other channels.

Most people that do this are only interested in getting a subscriber to their channel but

are not interested in your content.

Don't buy subscribers and views I often receive emails from companies who

want me to purchase subscribers and views.

YouTube frowns upon this practise and may suspend your channel so it's not worth the

risk.

If you want to go the paid route, then it's best to create an adwords for video campaign

which Google approves.

Lack of consistency You won't generate many views or subscribers

if you only upload a video once a month.

Try to upload a new video at least once a week on a consistent basis.

Not monitoring channel performance If you don't know how your videos are performing

you won't know how to improve them.

Visit YouTube Analytics to see which videos are performing the best.

You'll be able to see if people are actually watching your videos all the way through,

known as retention rate and what keywords they used to find your videos, known as traffic

sources.

There you have it.

History and experiment to the flat earth - Other Topics [English] - Duration: 12:49.

Welcome back, my Name is Sascha.

Today we want to talk about the ideas of a flat and a round earth.

Here, the look at the history of these ideas is interesting.

At the end of this video, we have a little experiment with that nearly everyone can check

whether the Earth is flat or a sphere.

In ancient cultures, the people were convinced of a flat earth.

We don't want to start the history so early.

We start with Aristoteles who lived about 350 years before Christ.

He observed that the masts of ships turned up at the horizon at first.

In southern countries, the southern constellations are higher over the horizon than in northern

countries.

He also observed that the earth's shadow on the moon during a lunar eclipse is round.

With this observations, he came to the conclusion that the earth is round and not flat.

About 100 years later, Eratosthenes calculated the earth's radius at first.

For this, he used the angle of incidence of the sun in Alexandria and Syene.

Later, we have a look at those calculations.

In 1517, Fernando de Magellan started his earth circumnavigation.

Not to go down in history as a foolhardy explorer, but he got the task to find a westward route

to east-India.

This earth circumnavigation counts as a proof of a spheric earth.

Now, let's go a bit back in history.

Did the people in the middle ages really believe in a flat earth?

The answer is simple: no.

Especially the scholars were convinced of a round earth.

Just to mention some names of scholars whose works got attention: of course, we have Aristoteles.

Pliny the elder, who lived in the first century, took the ideas of Aristoteles and added his

own observations in his book „Natural History".

Saint Isidore of Seville, who lived in the 7th century, described the earth as round

object or a globe, in his work „De Natura Rerum".

The book „Lucidarius" was published in the 12th century.

Even when the authors are unknown, the book describes the earth as a shpere.

One of the most influential theologians was Saint Thomas Aquinas.

He lived in the 13th century and was also convinced of a round earth.

Of course, there are many, many more Names of popes, priests, theologians, philosophers,

kings and politicians who said that the earth is round and not flat.

Now, let's talk about Nicolaus Copernicus, born in 1473.

As for the most scholar people, it was no question for him that the earth is round.

But there was one opinion that he disagreed.

The opinion was that the earth is the center of the universe.

He looked for proofs that the sun is the center.

This is called the heliocentrism.

He was not the first one with this idea.

About 300 years before Christ, Aristarchus of Samus had the idea, too.

Copernicus didn't publish his heliocentric idea because he feared mockery by the other

scholars.

Galileo Galilei linked to Copernicus' idea and provided physical evidence.

This heliocentric idea is the reason why he got stress with the church.

Later, Johannes Keppler found the correct mathematical model to Copernicus' worldview.

Isaac Newton's law of gravity counts as a proof of the heliocentrism.

Now we know that the people in the middle ages didn't believe in a flat earth.

But where comes the myth of this believe from?

The origin is not clear.

Probably, it originated in the 19th century, to emphasize that the people in the middle

ages were strongly influenced by the church and to claim that they were anti-science.

In the same century, Samuel Rowbotham was born in London.

Who was he?

He was the founder of the Flat Earth Society.

He was convinced of a flat earth with the North Pole in the middle and the South Pole

as a kind of wall.

After his death, his followers founded the Universal Zetetic Society that published the

magazine „The Earth Not a Globe Review".

After World War One, there was a decline of this movement.

In 1956, Samuel Shenton founded the International Flat Earth Society.

After Shenton's death in 1971, Charles Johnson became president of this Society.

He died in 2001.

Now, Daniel Shenton is president of this society.

Since 2009 they advertise for new members on their website.

At any time, no one knows when there were some videos about the idea of the flat earth

on YouTube.

After that, it seems that there are many people who support this idea on YouTube.

Now, we had a little look at the history.

I promised you to give you an experiment.

Sorry, this one is a bit mathematical.

We need the history to understand that even Eratosthenes had the idea of a round earth.

With this idea, he was able to calculate the radius of the earth.

The principle of this is easy.

He needed two sticks or wells.

To make it even easier, we just need one stick and say that the shadow at noon at the equator

is the smallest.

We take our stick, put it vertical on the ground and observe the shadow at noon.

When we are near enough to the equator, but not exactly on it, we can use the intercept

theorem to get results that are good enough at this point because the direct line to the

point at the equator is nearly the same as the real line.

The intercept theorem says that the height of the stick divided by the length of the

shadow is equal to the earth's radius divided by the way to the equator's point.

When we do the same experiment on a flat earth, the result would mean something different,

because the earth's radius would be infinity.

In this case, we would get the distance to the sun.

When we put numbers into the equations, we get the result that either the earth's radius

is about 6.4 million meters or the sun has the distance of 6.4 million meters.

Now, we can ask how big the sun would be, when the earth is flat.

When we observe the sun, we see an angle of about 32.15 minutes of arc.

When we multiply the sinus of the half of this angle with the distance, we get a radius

of the sun of about 29 800 meters.

Sorry for this comparison, but when the earth would be flat and you would walk around the

sun, you would get only 37 Dratini-Candies and you must walk more than two times around

the sun to get a Dragonite.

The next thing that we can ask is, how big the moon would be when the earth was flat.

So, how is the distance calculated?

Vienna and Cape Town are nearly on the same longitude.

In both cities, the astronomers align their telescopes to the same point on the moon.

Now, they need the angles of these telescopes and the distance of both cities.

Let's look at the flat earth.

We have three angles, a,b, and c.

With the law of sines, we can get the distance between Vienna and the moon.

Now, we can simply calculate the distance from the equator to the moon.

With a flat earth, the distance is about 3.4 million meters, just to compare: the distance

to the sun would be just double of the distance to the moon.

Now, we have the radius and distance of the sun and the distance of the moon.

From solar eclipses, we know, that the moon just covers the sun.

That means we can use the intercept theorem again.

So, we divide the distance to the moon by the distance to the sun and multiply it with

the radius of the sun and get about 16000 meters.

That would mean, about 20 Dratini-Candies when you go around the moon.

Yes, Dratini-Candies are an international unit.

While the radius of the moon is just a little fun, we need for the experiment the distance

to the sun.

When you are on the equator, it could be much easier.

To keep it vivid, we use a very simplified drawing.

First, we know the angle of the sun that we can see.

This angle is independent of the distance, so we can draw the near and the far sun.

The near one is green, the far one red.

When this experiment gives the result, that the sun is far, the earth would be round.

If the result would be that the sun is near, the earth would be flat.

Now, you need a stick again.

The longer it is, the better the results would be.

Put it vertical on the ground.

Of course, you can also use a very high building, whatever is more practicable for you.

The main thing is that you know the height of it as exactly as it is possible.

Exactly at noon, the stick should show into the center of the sun.

When you look from the ground over the tip of the stick to the edge of the sun, you need

a certain distance to the stick.

This distance should be measured as exactly as possible.

Now, you've got some triangles.

To make it vivid again, we only look at these triangles.

Of course, with these triangles and our data, we can calculate the distance of the sun.

But for this, the measurement is not good enough.

A is the distance to the sun and B the distance to the stick, while E is the height of the

stick.

When E or B is just a little bit inexact, A would differ a lot.

We have only two assertions.

The first is a far sun, the second is a near sun.

So it would be practicable to get B in dependence of A. For this, we need only A, E, and c1

to c3.

I don't want to read all these equations, so you can pause the video to recalculate

it.

I put the final equation into a computer and took as A1 the distance of the sun with a

flat earth, A2 the distance with a round earth, E the height of the stick and c2 the half

of the angle of the sun.

B1 and B2 are the distances to the stick.

Up to here, all units are in meters respectively in radian.

The last result is the difference between the distances to the stick in millimeters.

You see, when your stick is just 20 meters long, you'll get results that you can measure

relatively good.

The longer the stick, the better the results.

Conclusively, when you get the shorter distance to the stick, the sun would be far away and

the earth would be round.

Yo Emma Roberts, is that a big ole engagement ring?

It seems like Emma and her boyfriend, Evan Peters, couldn't have had a more cordial

holiday season, because the actress seems to be rocking an engagement ring.

And while she seems to be flaunting it quite proudly around the streets of Los Angeles,

check this out!

The actress posted a picture on Instagram in the same leopard print jacket promoting

her Coach Delancey watch…

But, notice how her left hand is pretty conveniently cropped out.

Why would that be, Emma?

Hiding a way more headline grabbing piece of jewelry?

The happy couple has been on/off again since 2012 when they reportedly met on the set of

Adult World, and the Daily Mail reports they first became engaged in 2014.

New year, new time, new ring…

So if Emma and Evan have reached fiance and fiancée status once again, then congratulations.

and then rotate, scale, crop and trim that image.

I'm going to use these parameters to show you

how to make a two up split screen.

First, I'm going to add a clip to my timeline

using a timeline based three point edit.

In a timeline based three point edit,

you set the in and out points in the timeline,

the first two set points,

and the third point is either the in or out point

in the clip you are adding.

The clip will be edited in to fill the time

set by the first two points.

Lets try it out.

I'll select one of my clips in my timeline for my split screen.

I want to add another angle

at the same point in my timeline, and match its duration.

With my skimmer over my selected clip,

I'll press X on my keyboard to mark the range around my clip.

These are the first two points of my three point edit.

Simply selecting the clip does not set

the duration for the three point edit.

Pressing X marks the start and end points

to the duration of the clip.

The visible difference is the handles

at the ends of the marked clip.

In the browser, I'll skim the clip I want to add

and mark the end point.

I can connect it by pressing Q and FCP

will line up my start points.

But since I want to line up my end points,

I'll perform a back timed connect edit by pressing shift Q.

FCP lines up my out points,

and ripple trims my clip to the duration

defined in the first two points of my three point edit.

My two clips are stacked on top of each other.

I'm going to separate them in the viewer

to make them both visible.

I'll hold down the Option key and click my top clip.

Holding down the option key selects the clip

and moves the playhead over it at the same time.

Now in the viewer, I'll click the transform button.

A wire frame along with control points

appears around the clip.

Click and drag the centre handle until

the clip takes up about 2 thirds of the screen.

The yellow line helps me keep the image centred.

I'll click and drag the lower right control point

towards the middle of the clip until the full clip is visible.

I'll select my bottom clip, and drag it to the right

until my helmet is about in the middle,

and resize it until the vertical size matches.

Don't worry about the clip in the background,

we'll deal with that in a bit.

Lets crop the bottom clip to make it fit in the viewer.

From the drop down menu, select crop.

The crop tool has 3 modes - trim, crop and Ken Burns.

Trim allows you to cut off parts of the image.

Crop also lets you cut off parts of the image,

but than scales it up to fill the current frame size.

And Ken Burns allows you to add some motion,

like pans and zooms.

I'm going to use the trim mode,

and click and drag the left and right handles

to trim off parts of the image.

If you can't see the handles, zoom out on the image.

I'll click done and review my edit.

Now I'm going to deal with the image in the background.

Beside editing the video parameters in the inspector,

and in the viewer, there's a third way,

the Video Animator Editor.

I'll disable my top clips to make this one visible,

right click on the clip and select show video animation.

Besides the spacial parameters,

that are also available in the inspector,

there's an opacity parameter here.

I'll click on the maximize button to reveal the controls.

Just like in audio clips,

there's fade handles at the start and end

of the clip you can use to fade it in and out.

Using these you can manually cross fade clips.

I'll press Command Z to undo that.

The control I'm interested in is the opacity control line.

Moving this down will make the clip see through.

I'll drag this all the way down to make my clip disappear.

I'll click this X to close the video animation editor.

One down, half left to go.

For my next clip,

I only want the start of it to disappear.

With my skimmer lined up with the end of my top clips,

and the bottom clip selected,

I'll blade my clip by pressing Command B.

I can make this clip transparent the same way as the last one,

or I can copy and paste attributes.

I'll select the left clip and press Command C to copy it,

select the right clip and press Command Shift V.

A pop up box lets me select which

of the copied clip's parameters will be pasted to this clip.

I'll select Compositing, thats where

the opacity control was listed under and click paste.

Copying and pasting attributes

can save a lot of time when editing.

I'll re-enable my top clips and review my edit.

My bottom clip is completely transparent,

and since there's nothing under it,

its a black background.

Last thing I'd like to show you today

is how to make a compound clip.

Final Cut Pro lets you combine one or more clips,

including video, pictures, music, and so on

into a single compound clip.

This is handy if you have several clips layered

on top of each other that you'd like to use in different project,

like a video intro, or you can collapse

multiple lanes into one easily manageable clip

to tidy up your timeline.

Lets go back to the start of my project

and select the two clips I layered

on top of each other before for the depth of field effect.

With both clips selected,

I'll right click on either one and select New Compound Clip,

name it and select the event i want to add it in.

FCP collapses both my clips into a single,

easily manageable clip.

Now I can add a fade in transition,

without having to apply it to both clips.

I've now completed the first enhancement pass on my video.

Next step is the finishing process,

where I'll clean up all the tiny things

wrong with my video and audio,

and add some fun elements such as titles and graphics.

I'll show you all that in my next few videos.

Come back next week,

Mobile Home Life Pondering with Sal - Duration: 3:30.

Hello everyone, and welcome to the first

episode of my show for 2017, "'Winks' with

Cynthia Tiddly." I'm your host, Cynthia

Tiddly, and this week we'll be talking

once again with Sal, who, if you recall, is

living at home with her parents after a

bad breakup.

We'll find out what Sal is up to, what

her job prospects are, and where she is

planning to live. Welcome, Sal!

everyone it's Sal here again. Uh, just

wanted to give you all like a little

update about what's going on in my life

right now, um, so, still looking for a job but,

um, got a couple of leads there, and as

far as continuing to live with my

parents, I started looking around for

like maybe an alternate living space.

So, like all of a sudden I was thinking

like what about mobile homes in the area?

You know what I mean?

So like I started doing some research

into that, and my mom did make a valid

point she was like, uh, "Sal, you're, you're so

cold in your own room that

you gotta wear a jacket, how do you think

that's gonna work with like a breezy

mobile home?" And I was like, "Well at least

I'll be by myself," you know what I mean?

Like independent and stuff, um, so that's kind

of the one like drawback about the whole

thing like I'm not really convinced

necessarily that that's gonna work out

but the thing about the mobile home

thing is like they are like lower cost,

you get to own it, like you know, I mean,

like I could have my like real own space

like the whole thing could be mine, like

not just like little apartment.

The other thing that I was kind of

thinkin' about with the mobile home is

like, it's so exposed,

I'm wondering like, is there like a

rodent problem potentially? Or like other

kinds of like I don't know. Like I've

heard that some animals like go under

porches to like die and I'm like, like

you know sometimes you see those like

exposed bottoms or underpinnings of the of

the mobile home areas and you're like,

"What's under there?" And you're like, "No one knows, maybe

a carcass or something!" You know what I

mean? Like I would just hate to find like a,

like an animal carcass underneath my

house -- or smell it.

Like I'm lookin' into some temping work, um

like construction's not that good for me

just because like I don't really

construct, um, but like I'm looking into

like maybe like a mall job or something

like that like I think I might be

looking at like those those mall

accessory shops where they like pierce people's

ears and other parts.

Right. Thank you so much, Sal. Good luck with your prospects

um, both on the shelter front as well as

the work front. And thank you, viewers, for

tuning in once again. We wish all of you

a very happy, safe 2017, and we look

forward to seeing you again next week

with another tantalizing guest. Thank

you. Cynthia Tiddly.

Journaling | Tips to Be Creative in 2017 - Duration: 6:28.

Hello YouTube! Kaitlyn here! And do you want to be more creative in 2017?

Or any year! You can be creative any time! Or anywhere!

(INTRO MUSIC)

So when the new year starts, everyone's like, "I gotta set some New Year's Resolutions and some goals!"

And usually I'm out there making resolutions too, but this year I've been thinking about it a little differently.

As you'll see from last week's video.

I'm thinking more about things I can change that will foster an environment, a sort of mental state that I

can flourish in.

And for me that definitely means expanding my creativity. So if you're like me and you're looking for more

unique ways to be creative, to be inspired, then January is going to be a fun month for you.

This Thursday we're gonna be talking about Journaling!

Cuz journaling seems to boring, right?

Wrong-a-ding-dong! Journaling is actually quite cool and quite creative. It just depends on how you look at it.

So let's talk about how to have creative and inspired journaling.

Pick a notebook that speaks to you!

Dah dah! Isn't it beautiful? I'm actually quite a collector of journals.

It's about are there lines or no lines? Is it big or tiny? Is it something that you can decorate or do you want

it to live on its own?

This is a good place to point out that I really recommend handwriting a journal. And now I know that handwriting

is not really the "thing" now with all computers and technology and all that stuff, and I love typing on a

computer too, but for journaling there is something beautiful about writing it with your own hands, and it also gives you the ability to, you know, stick things in there

or draw on the page too. It's also a physical thing that you have to bring with you wherever you go so it's a

reminder to write versus an insubstantial document on a computer.

So once you've picked your notebook and you've decided that you're going to physically write in it, then you

have to decide, how are you going to structure the journal?

This is where you can get REALLY creative and you realize that there are no real rules to journaling.

So there's the stuff that you heard your grandparents talk about how they journaled which is, what they ate and

where they went and who they saw that day. Or maybe some quotes from people that they talked to.

That's a really interesting way to document your life, especially if you're a foodie or if you love visiting new places or talking to new people.

But of course, not everyone is going to that interesting which is why there are so many different ways to journal.

Maybe if you feel like you're move of an artist rather than a writer, then you could do a sketch a day and then write

a brief description about what that sketch is from or something else that happened in that day and how

that sketch connects with it.

Whether or not you have a very busy or active life, you could write down the events of the day and reflect on them.

You could write about the emotions that you're experiencing that day and this I highly recommend for

anyone who's struggling with mental illness.

I really like titling each entry and it may be a lyric from a song or a title of a movie or something that I

heard that day, some inspiring little phrase. Usually, it's somehow connected to how I'm feeling that day and

then I'll reflect on my emotions, sometimes I'll talk about events if more interesting things have been happening.

And sometimes I'll talk about dreams that I've had because I have very vivid dreams and this is a great

place to kind of hash them out and kind of interpret them.

For a while, instead of writing in prose I would actually write a poem a day and try to encapsulate my

emotions, and I think that's also a really cool thing to do.

Then your next step is, how will you make it unique?

You could put in quotes from people or books or songs.

If you're mostly doing writing, then throwing in a fun sketch or drawing or doodle is always a great addition.

What about journaling in 3rd person or writing it from the point-of-view of an imaginary observer of your life.

Or maybe, if you feel self-conscious or you don't really like writing about yourself, then you could write vingettes

about imagined situations for people or things that you've observed.

You're still documenting some part of life around you which is really great to have.

It also helps you process it!

Finally, because I am a big fan of mixed media and collage, think about what can you collect to include in your journal?

Are there movie tickets stubs or other events that you've gone to?

Cut outs from magazines of things that have inspired you or maybe things that made you a little a bit mad

and you wanna rant about it.

Photos from your daily life.

Whoa!

I'm really excited because I got a Fujifilm Instax camera for Christmas which means I'll be able to take pictures of

my daily life and print them out right there and so I can include them in my journal versus having them all on my

phone and having to think about, "Oh maybe I should print these out." *sigh* But now this gives me a place to put the photos that I'm using my camera for.

Simply use some pages to try to make a collage of interesting things in your life. It doesn't all have to be writing.

One final thought. If you are really feeling at a loss for what you could even like even start to put down on paper,

there are lots of journals out there that are guided journals and are very cool and helpful for you.

These are some of the ones that I have. I haven't actually used them which is sad but I told you, I'm a collector

of journals, but I plan to use them one day.

You've probably seen a "Wreck This Journal" before. And it's really just about, it gives you prompts of things to do to destroy the journal which is kind of interesting.

This one is "List Yourself" which is says "List making as a way to self-discovery." And as someone who LOVES

lists this is really exciting for me.

And then this one is "A Guided Journal for Introspection and Self-Discovery" so it uses like lists or you know,

interesting things. It wants you to remember things in your life.

So if getting a blank journal and starting writing is kind of scary for you, then I would really recommend starting

with something like that. And I think it will give you ideas for what you could then write in your own blank journal.

So if you haven't gathered it so far, journaling is NOT boring. You just have to make it your own!

So what do you guys think? Do you journal? Do you want to journal? If you have been journaling, what are your tips for people who want to start?

Also, all the Thursday videos in January are going to be "Tips to Be More Creative in 2017" and there are four

Thursdays and I have 3 ideas so I wanted the 4th Thursday to be something that you guys picked.

Put some ideas down in the comments and then I'll make a poll next week that you can vote on and

whatever kind of has the most interest will be what I cover!

So I hope you guys are having a wonderful start to 2017, and you remember to like, favorite, share, and subscribe

if this video made you smile!

See you guys on Tuesday!

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth are 'Seriously Looking at Adoption' | Splash News TV - Duration: 0:57.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth look to be going strong, but now there are rumors that

they're looking to start a family in 2017.

Get this, an insider close to the former Hannah Montana star claims that she and Liam have

been having very serious conversations in the past months about a family, and while

the couple has spoken about wanting kids for some time, now we'rewondering what route

they're going to take.

Rumor has it they're looking at adoption… something that is near and dear to Miley's

heart after she visited Haiti twice in 2011 to help less fortunate children.

The insider revealed that Miley's looking at adoption more seriously and she gets overwhelmed

at all the children in need around the world… and she wants to adopt them all.

Of course, the source says that the couple also has the mindset right now that if she

does get pregnant – that'd be great – but if she doesn't it would be OK.

Miley and Liam met while filming The Last Song in 2009.

Hilary Duff Admits She's Never Been a 'Great Dater' | Splash News TV - Duration: 1:14.

Newly single Hilary Duff seems like she's the first to admit that when it comes to the

dating life, she's not the best at it.

The 29-year-old mother of one tells Cosmopolitan magazine that the main men in her life are

her son, Luca, and her ex-husband Mike Comrie.

She says, "We're so ingrained in each other's lives.

I wouldn't choose anyone else to co-parent with.

We are really good friends and care a lot about each other."

Which must make finding someone new all the more difficult.

Hilary tells Cosmo, "I meet, like, one person a year that I'm maybe attracted to…

I never want to be that girl who's desperate to find a mate."

It seems like, for now, Hilary is more focused on getting to know her best self as she approaches

her thirties, and tells the magazine, "I think I'm a pretty confident person.

I've had a career for a long time, but I've put a lot of unnecessary pressure on myself

as a woman, a businessperson, an actress."

In time, we're sure "good dater" will be added

to her accomplishments.

Major Shifts in Consciousness Observed Throughout the Animal Kingdom - Duration: 6:54.

Major Shifts in Consciousness Observed Throughout the Animal Kingdom

by Christina Sarich.

Humans have long thought themselves to be the smartest animals on the planet, but evidence

continues to reveal that even with little shared DNA � animals are catching up, and

perhaps even surpassing our own evolutionary intelligence.

Some philosophical perspectives suggest that this anthropomorphic egocentrism is misplaced,

since all creatures, not just people have �mind,� which is capable of evolving toward

higher levels of consciousness.

We share a quarter of our DNA, after all, with a single grain of rice, but there is

something even more intelligent in our design, and many believe it permeates everything.

The Buddhists and Taoists regularly call for us to be mindful of all sentient beings, while

the suppositions of panpsychism, the view that mind (psyche) is everywhere (pan), reaches

back into ancient Greece and the teachings of Miletus and Plato.

Terrence McKenna supposes that the Universal psyche has been given an extra push overtime.

He theorizes that animals moved to grasslands as the North African jungles receded after

the ice age.

These animals grazed on whatever they could find, including psilocybin-containing mushrooms

growing in the dung of ungulate herds.

McKenna suggests that the psychedelics in the animals� diets helped to create synesthesia,

and then language, followed by additional higher-intelligence skill sets.

McKenna argues that when mushrooms disappeared from their diets another 12, 000 years later

due to climate change, animals simply regressed back to less intelligent primates.

Mainstream science says that it is only subtle refinements in our brain�s architecture

that allows us to be �smarter� than most other animals.

While dogs can�t yet compose music, birds do it every day.

Perhaps the expression is not as complex as a violin concerto, but even the most rarefied

composer has looked to nature for musical inspiration, if not immaculate intelligence.

No matter what drives our evolution, though, there is clear evidence that it is changing

� obviously in people � but perhaps more subtlety in animals from a number of species.

Footage of animals learning to use tools provides evidence of this evolutionary shift happening

to all of us on earth, not just the human race, but there are other indications of intelligence

as well.

We all seem to be awakening together.

If consciousness is truly primordial and all things are just �minds in a world of mind�

it would explain some of the fascinating behaviors of animals in recent times.

Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have caught New Calendonian crows carrying two

items at once using a stick � a feat normally only seen in the human race.

First one crow slipped a wooden stick into a metal nut and flew away, and just a few

days later another crow conducted a similar behavior, carrying a large wooden ball with

a stick.

Octopuses exhibit amazing abilities, including short and long-term memory.

They�ve even been known to sneak aboard fishing vessels and pry open crabs caught

be fishermen � no tools needed.

They are also such great escape artists, they can squeeze through openings no bigger than

their eyeballs.

Scientists also have documented monkeys called Serra da Capivara capuchins making stone �tools�

that bear a striking resemblance to early human implementations for digging, cutting

meat, or opening nuts.

The sharp rock �tools� made when the moneys bang one rock on top of another are so similar

to ancient tools made by early humans, that archeologists are having to rethink giving

credit to previous human civilizations.

Chimps in Bakoun, Guinea recently stunned scientists when they were found using long

twigs like fishing poles, dragging the rods in water to scoop up algae that they could

then eat.

The footage is an affront to the notion that people are the only intelligent creatures

with an ability to consciously evolve.

Even bees are exhibiting more complex behaviors.

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) have discovered that bumblebees can

learn how to carry out complex instructions, and then pass that knowledge along to other

bees in the hive.

Scientists set up an experiment with three artificial flowers containing sugar-water

and attached pieces of string to each flower.

They were then placed inside a clear, Plexiglas panel with just the strings poking out.

Researchers were curious to see if the bees could problem-solve and get the �nectar�

from the fake flowers.

Out of a control group of 110 bees, only two figured out how to pull the strings to get

to the nectar.

They did this with no training.

A second group was then �trained� by gradually moving the flowers out of reach gradually.

This group did much better.

23 out of 40 learned to pull the strings to get the reward.

Amazingly, when a new group of bees was introduced to the problem, 60 percent were able to pick

up the new skill simply by observing the other �trained� bees access the reward.

Researchers learned that the transmission of knowledge (consciousness) does not require

sophisticated cognitive abilities which only humans currently have, and that many animals

may have more intelligence than we have given them credit for.

So, where do we draw the line for consciousness evolution?

Do we stop at vertebrates, or primates?

The nervous system of insects may not be as complex as ours, with the capability of transmuting

energy through the chakras as ancient martial artists and yogis have done, but even with

minds totally unlike ours, it appears that all sentient beings are indeed evolving toward

a grander design and expanded intelligence.
