hi and welcome to Hedgehog Hollow and welcome back to our next installment of our
alcohol markers skill builder we're now going to be focusing on one type of
marker every single week and this week is kopeck week so I'm going to talk a
little bit about why I chose kopecks some of the different markers in the
range the lettering and numbering conventions I've also got some great
downloads and course ideas for you if you want to go into a bit more detail
hi and welcome to Hedgehog collar and welcome back to the next installment of
our alcohol marker skill builder we've now looked to ink we've looked at paper
and we've looked at some other basics of each of the pens so we're gonna look in
more detail each week one different brand so this week I'm gonna have a look
at kopecks for you we're going to talk about why I chose code picks the
lettering and numbering convention I've got some great downloads for you and
also some more advanced class ideas if you're looking for something to build on
certain techniques so let's have a look at my Copic well first of all and then
we can start going through so I chose code picks around about 10 years ago and
at the time they were the only real sort of alcohol markers on the market I now
have all but two of the colors which are currently on back order so I hope to
have those very soon I also have this bottle of colorless blender now the
reason I have this is whether you work with spectrum Noirs whether you work
with copics Nouveau markers any type of alcohol marker I do recommend having
this there's some really fun techniques you can do and it will often save you if
you have a project that has a bleed or something in it having this bottle on
hand is definitely one of those things that I really recommend and of course
I'll link it all up below the video as well as some of my favorite places to
get my copics now here are all of my Copic stored in those spectrum noir
trays and I'll link up the video that I did on this hallmark wall and how it's
well stored but I have them by letter and then by numbers so they run from the
four zeros through $2.99 depending on how many are in between so we start here
why ours are yellow Reds we move into our ygg yellow greens yellows which are
wise odds which are Reds then we have our these which are on red fire
so these all correspond to the color wheel we have V for violet G for green B
V is our blue violet up here we have our B G's which are our blue greens our B's
for blues we have our ears for earth tones and they have a slightly different
convention but we'll have a look at those later we have our C zeros through
two tens and so these are our coal grows in C T's our toners ends our neutrals
and w's are warm this row here is slightly different so we have our
colorless blenders which are the zeros I have a hundred and 110 which are two
shades of black we then have our fluorescence so fluorescents are
preceded by an F and then have this naming convention as I previously
mentioned so we have are these white ours
y YG v YG b g and b so that covers our fluorescents as well so there are over
300 colors available and there are multiple different types of markers
available so let me grab a few different ones so we have our original let's grab
a sketch and we can also grab a Chow so these are the three that I have in my
collection the sketch is the one that you're going to see it most often that's
got the oval barrel it has your number on the end with the appropriate on so
this is our V 21 light pink now one end will have this thicker gray piece and
that is your brush tip so that's how you all know if you're looking for your
brush the opposite end right now has a chisel all of mine are quite old so they
have the chisel in it there's also now an option to have a nib end on there as
well but all of your nails are interchangeable so if your brush nib it
gets damaged you can interchange it for a new brush or if your chisel gets
damaged you can put chisel in there you can put a nib in there all sorts of
different options all the pens are refillable now the sketch is unique in
that all 300-plus colors are available in the sketch
whereas in the Chou's and the co picks your color scheme is a little bit more
limited and that's another reason why I love the Copic because there are so many
colors in there every shade is covered plus you can get empty markers and with
the refills you can create a custom shade as well as if there's one that
doesn't quite fit your needs and you although maybe I need a be 40 well you
can make that yourself in there as well and that something else we'll cover in a
future lesson the next option is the chow
so the chow is very similar to the sketch and that you have HSL end and you
have your brush end again you've got that thicker piece where your brush nib
is it tells you this one is an r32 it doesn't have them on the end but there
are plenty of online printables that you can print out and stick those on the end
with some sticker paper these have less ink in them than the sketch so they're
less expensive originally again they're still refillable so they might be a
great option for you to start out at because you could maybe have more chels
and you could sketches I've tended now to migrate fully to sketches but there's
still a few hours left in there as well there's also the original code pic so
this has the square barrel and you have two different ends you can you have a
chisel edge and in this one you have the nib but again you could replace either
of these with whichever one you were looking for so you could add a brush tip
and things in there as well I have got a little piece that I'm going to scribble
out these different ends on there to remind you as well of what they are so
let's grab those out this folder and then I'll go through some of the
principles that I have here as well so I printed just wrote these out myself
so the original idea because the only original I have in here is my colorless
blender I had a couple in my reserves in the back so you've got that chisel for
larger areas and you've got that finer nib this is the Chow so let's fill that
one in and I'll take photographs of all of these so you have this chisel that
you can cover large areas with or you can go a little bit finer and of course
you have that brush which gives you so much control and you can really build up
color with and of course the sketch is the same it just contains a little bit
more ink so again we've got that brush and we have the chisel so you can either
use it like this or you can really color in some dense areas really easily now
one that I do not have in my collection is the wide chisel so the wide chisel is
a much wider pen as the name suggests it only
has a chisel tip and it is much larger probably around about half an inch I
would estimate and that's also available in a selection range of colors refills
are available in every single color so again if you wanted a chisel in a color
that isn't currently available you could just go the refill and an empty marker
and refill it so now I want to talk to you about how I have all my swatches
organized and some of the quick help guides that I have that will also link
up in the blog post for you as well so this is my marker folder so you can see
here I have it organized by types we've got copay expection was etc and then I
have these dividers and these are extra wide dividers that fit with plastic
pockets so I'll link those up too because they took me a while to find but
once I found them I was really happy with them so this is the Copic marker
hand color chart that you can download from Copic again of course I will link
all these up for you so this gives you by color family all of the intensities
it tells you from the four zeros down to 99 or however dark each color goes all
of the colors are as I said a rate oven sketch plus it tells you what is
available in wide in the Copic original and in the ciao so it shows you the
overall the square and the circular barrels that we discussed so you can
check that out in here as well it also gives you a quick reference guide of how
the numbers are divided up so we have color family so those BG's are blue
greens then we have blending group so zero in this case and you get one two
three four five and then within that blending group you get a specific value
they learn lower the number the light of the shade the higher the number the
darker the shade as well so for instance if we look at our blue greens which are
over here we start at four zeros we go to three zeros then we go to zero one
zero two zero five zero seven and a zero nine then we reset back to light at a 10
11 13 15 and 18 and again then we reset into a blending group two and so on so
that's how kopecks in general work and when we have some coloring techniques we
will look at all of these in a bit more detail this is really just an overview
you so something else that I have in here that again I printed off the Copic
website and I will link up for you is the Copic color wheel this is really
useful so this gives us all of our different shades of Gray's in the middle
here so our calls are neutrals or toners and our warms in the appropriate places
as well we also have our fluorescence our different shades of black and our
zeros and then on the outside of our color wheel we have our earth tones now
you have to think these earth tones as being split into these two different
groups so you can follow the numbers here and then again we go from blending
routes light to dark and again here light to dark so this is really handy if
you're looking for what is go together it's not necessarily and following the
same way of other colors they do come slightly differently they are very
distinctly different into these ready and these more sort of neutrally earth
tones so I would really recommend printing this off and keeping it close
to you when you're coloring again it shows you the quick help guide down here
with regards to our numbering convention and the other thing that I keep in my
folder that is worth showing you I have a couple of different things in here so
the first one I found online was from Sharon harness website and I find this
one is great I use this all of the time and again I will link all this up for
you she's got some great color combinations in here so whether you want
a cool gray or you're maybe doing an ocean spring grass there is a second
page of soft lilac because maybe we're doing something Orange when I was doing
a snowman the other day I needed some oranges lots of different options in
here it's also a great flesh tone in here and there's lots of these different
kind of color combos around on the internet if you're maybe looking one for
hair I can link some of those up too so lots of different options in regards to
color combinations and I have a few printed off that I keep in here as well
now the other thing I wanted to mention to you is about kit and clowder so one
of your my lovely followers here recommended kit and cloudier to me and
they recently had this a freebie which is why I can show it here and they give
you printed instructions all the different color
and options and things that you can do on there plus it had videos to go with
it as well you can purchase lots of different videos whether it's watercolor
pencils watercolors all sorts of different fun things as well so I really
would recommend kitten powder the other person that I would recommend is sandy
or NOK she is a fantastic colorist I've been following her for many many years
you can just see at the bottom here her hex chart is peeking out again I'll link
that up for you is absolutely fantastic you can either color in your own or
print out her coloured one I won't show it here it is a purchase but it's really
useful it shows you all of the light to darks and I think even more useful
sometimes I've done this color wheel as well so that is great she also does some
fab courses on advanced techniques on winter scenes all sorts of things I've
taken all of those and learnt so much from her as well so just a little bit
more about the Copic section in here I also have this great principle from my
favorite things which tells you about the my favorite thing as cardstock
colors and some of their ink cards as well and how that matches with copics so
again I'll link that up for you I just downloaded that from the MFT website and
then I go into my speaker pens or Spiker pens these are some fantastic little
pans that Copic makers make and they have shards of glass in them to give
them the most amazing shine and then I go through all my other markers we'll be
looking at that in future weeks when we get next week to our spectra Noir so
that is an overview for you of kopecks I hope you have enjoyed that we will of
course we looking at more details there's so much more to show you about
how to do blends and things and blending color families together but we will get
to those when we start getting to blending techniques so thank you so much
for joining me today on your screen right now you can see some pictures of
those quick swatches that I made I hope you find those useful as well I've also
put plenty of links in the description below about where I buy make ho pics
from and some of the other things that I've shown you on today's video I'll
also link up the blog post that has all of these printables on and Sandy all
Knox website for her classes and things so you can check those out as well again

Tony Stark "You Want My Property, You Can't Have It" Scene | Iron Man 2 (2010) Movie Clip - Duration: 4:20.
He asks us to trust him
as we cower behind it.
I wish I were comforted, Anthony. I really do.
I'd like to leave my door unlocked when I leave the house,
but this ain't Canada.
You know we live in a world of grave threats,
threats that Mr. Stark will not always be able to foresee.
Thank you. God bless Iron Man, God bless America.
Well said, Mr. Hammer.
The committee would now like to invite
Lieut. Col. James Rhodes to the chamber.
Rhodey?
Hey, buddy. Didn't expect to see you here.
Look, it's me. I'm here. Deal with it. Let's move on.
- I just ... - Drop it. - Alright, I'll drop it.
I have before me a complete report on the Iron Man weapon
compiled by Colonel Rhodes.
and Colonel, for the record, can you please read page 57, paragraph 4?
You're requesting that I read specific selections from my report, senator?
Yes, sir.
My understanding that I was going to be testifying in a much more comprehensive and detailed manner.
I understand, a lot of things have changed today.
You do understand that reading a single paragraph out of context does not reflect the summary of my finding?
Just read it, Colonel. I do. Thank you.
Very well.
As he does not operate within any definable branch of government,
The Iron Man presents a potential threat to the security of both the nation
and to her interests.
I did, however, go on to summarize that the benefits of Iron Man far outweigh the liabilities
and that it would be in our interest
to fold Mr Stark into the existing chain of command.
I'm not a joiner but I'll consider Secretary of Defense, if you ask nice.
We can amend the hours a little bit.
I'd like to go on and show, if I may, the imagery that's connected to your report.
I believe it is somewhat premature to reveal these images to the general public at this time.
With all due respect, Colonel, I understand. And if you could just narrate those for us,
we'd be very grateful.
Show the images.
Intelligence suggests that the devices seen in these photos
are in fact attempts at making manned copies
of Mr. Stark's suit.
This has been corroborated by our allies
and local intelligence on the ground
indicating that these suits are
quite possibly at this moment operational.
Hold on a second buddy, let me see.
There's something here. Oh, boy I'm good.
Now can I get more screens.
I need them. Time for a little transparency.
- Let's see what's really going on. - What is he doing?
If you'll direct your attention to said screens,
I believe that's North Korea.
Can you turn that off? Take it off.
Iran.
No grave, immediate threat here.
Is that Justin Hammer?
How did Hammer get in here?
Justin, you're on TV, focus up.
Wow. Yeah, I'd say most countries, 5-10 years away.
- Hammer Industries 20. - I'd like to point out that that test pilot survived.
I think we got the point that he's making. I don't think there's any reason...
The point is you're welcome, I guess.
- For what? - Because, I'm your nuclear deterrent.
It's working. We're safe. America is secure.
You want my property? You can't have it!
But did I you a big favor.
I've successfully privatized world peace.
What more do you want?
For now!
I'm tired of all of these ass clowns!
Fuck you Mr Stark. Fuck you buddy.
- We're adjourned, we're adjourned for today. - Okay
You've been a delight.
My bond is with the people.
And I will serve this great nation
at the pleasure of myself.
One thing I've proven is that you can count on me...
...to pleasure myself.

Why Susan From The Blacklist Looks So Familiar - Duration: 5:03.
When NBC decided to create a spinoff from their hit series The Blacklist, they had the
perfect star in mind to headline the series: Famke Janssen.
After making her debut in the show's third season, her character Susan Hargrave became
the focus of The Blacklist: Redemption.
If you think you recognize her from somewhere, it's probably because you've seen Janssen
in one of her dozens of film and television roles.
Here's why Susan from The Blacklist looks so familiar.
GoldenEye
Janssen got her start as a model in the late '80s, but in the early '90s she decided to
transition to acting.
She soon landed small roles on shows like Star Trek: The Next Generation and in films
such as Fathers & Sons.
But her big break came in the 1995 James Bond film GoldenEye, where she played the sinister
Russian agent Xenia Onatopp.
"Xenia Sergeyevna Onatopp."
"Onatopp?"
"Onatopp."
The character has become a fan favorite, consistently ranking among the best Bond Girls ever.
House on Haunted Hill
Following the success of GoldenEye, Janssen was offered a number of roles.
One of the most high profile was opposite Geoffrey Rush as one half of the eccentric
couple running the show in the 1999 horror remake House on Haunted Hill.
The flick was a critical punching bag, but has become a bit of a cult favorite anyway.
X-Men
No matter what Janssen does in her career, there are many fans who will always see her
as Jean Grey from 20th Century Fox's X-Men franchise.
Since 2000, Janssen has played the red-haired mutant psychic multiple times, including the
original X-Men, X2: X-Men United in 2003, and X-Men: The Last Stand in 2006, where she
was killed off.
She later appeared in 2013's The Wolverine as a figment of Logan's tortured imagination,
but thanks to some time travel shenanigans, she was returned to life for realsies in 2014's
X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Nip/Tuck
A year after X2 hit theaters, Janssen landed a recurring role in the second season of FX's
medical drama Nip/Tuck.
The primary antagonist of that season, transgender life coach Ava Moore became a key recurring
character, returning in season six for a major arc.
Hide and Seek
One of Janssen's stranger roles was in the psychological thriller Hide and Seek, where
she played opposite Robert DeNiro.
Her part as family friend Dr. Katherine Carson wasn't large, but she figured prominently
in each of the film's five different endings.
And you thought the X-Men movies were hard to keep straight…
Taken
Twentieth Century Fox apparently didn't want to let go of Janssen following the original
X-Men trilogy's conclusion, so they cast her as Lenore "Lenny" Mills in their Taken series.
In 2008, she played the wife of Liam Neeson's Bryan Mills, whose daughter is taken captive.
Bad move, fools.
"I have a very particular set of skills.
Skills I have acquired over a very long career.
Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you."
In 2012, she returned in a larger role, this time as the victim of a revenge kidnapping.
Neeson, of course, saves her.
Too bad he couldn't get the job done in 2015's Taken 3, where it's her life that gets taken
at the start of the film.
One of these days, one of Janssen's characters will actually survive a trilogy.
Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters
In-between Taken installments, Janssen starred as the sinister grand witch Muriel in 2013's
Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, a re-imagining of the classic fairy tale.
The film wasn't exactly a critical favorite, but it did well enough at the box office to
warrant a sequel.
Whether or not Janssen will be involved hasn't been announced yet.
Even though her character died, don't count her out.
Hemlock Grove
In 2013, Janssen shifted away from movies and back into television in a big way, starring
in a leading role in the groundbreaking Netflix series Hemlock Grove, which was one of the
first digitally streamed shows to ever receive an Emmy nomination.
She played Olivia Godfrey, head of the sinister Godfrey Institute for Biomedical Technologies,
for all three seasons before the show ended in 2015.
Yuck.
How to Get Away with Murder
Before landing the lead in The Blacklist: Redemption, Janssen took another juicy role
in the hit series How to Get Away with Murder, playing attorney Eve Rothlow, a former friend
and lover of Viola Davis's lead character, Annalise Keating.
Still smarting from their breakup years ago, Eve finally got over Annalise in season three,
and walked away.
Whether or not she ever returns may depend on how long The Blacklist: Redemption stays
on the air.

Jeff Sessions Banned Protestors From Attending His Speech on 1st Amendment Freedoms - Duration: 3:09.
On Tuesday of this week, Jeff Sessions, Attorney General of the United States, spoke at the
Georgetown University Law Center in Washington, D.C.
He was giving a speech about the importance of the First Amendment and the freedoms that
the First Amendments grants U.S. citizens.
Before we get into what actually happened during the speech, let's take time to appreciate
the irony of the fact that his boss, Donald Trump, is currently attacking NFL and NBA
players who are exercising their First Amendment freedoms.
Probably not the best time for Jeff Sessions to go out there and talk about the freedoms
of the First Amendments when his boss is out there attacking people for using those exact
freedoms.
But, Jeff Sessions is clearly immune to that kind of irony.
Because during his speech ... Or, I guess before his speech even began, protesters were
banned from attending a speech about the First Amendment from the Attorney General.
Photographs of the speech itself showed many, many empty seats through the auditorium because
a lot of people who were not necessarily Jeff Sessions's fans, had been dis-invited from
attending the speech in addition to the protesters.
Here we have the highest attorney in this country, giving a speech about basically freedom
of speech, and not allowing people who disagree with him to attend or even show up.
I mean, I know conservatives like to call liberals "snowflakes who love their safe spaces",
but isn't that exactly what Jeff Sessions just proved to us that he is?
I mean, you can't get much more of a little delicate snowflake than not allowing people
to attend a speech on free speech because they disagree with you.
In essence, Jeff Sessions turned that whole auditorium into his personal little safe space
because he's too much of a coward to have to answer questions from someone who disagrees
with him or from someone who knows more about the law than Jeff Sessions does.
Jeff Sessions is an absolute disgrace, a worthless human being, serving as our Attorney General.
He has proven time and time again that he is a racist bigot.
Now he's proven that he's so much of a coward that he can't even be in the same room as
someone who disagrees with him.
I think we all know now that conservatives are the real snowflakes out there and they're
trying to turn their little rallies into their own personal safe spaces so that they don't
ever have to be faced with a question or look another human being in the eye that happens
to disagree with them on any issue.

Shreem Brzee Miracle Story: Dr. Gudal Caba's Success Story - Duration: 4:50.
[Jai Radha:]> Our next guest is Gudal Caba from Ohio.
And she's been a friend for a while.
I love seeing youm Gudal.
You are gorgeous.
you have a Naturopath and Medicine Woman, and Psychologist business.
Is that correct?
[Gudal:]> Right.
What is that?
Right.
[Jai Radha:]> You have a lot of things going on, so tell us a little bit about how Dr.
Pillai's teachings have really transformed your life.
[Gudal:]> I'm going to try to do this concisely.
People did a beautiful job.
I have always been someone who has been intuitive and I have worked as a healer.
So my psychology practice chasing the PhD was all about finding evidence for Body/Mind
connection and how our thoughts affect everything around us.
And that just led me on a trajectory of all kinds of things.
So I got a doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine.
Along the way, teachers and mentors came along and continued to gift me with that gift of
healing.
So I was working with others and trying to work on myself.
And I was in desperate need for someone to put their hand out for me.
You know, like to be in that spiritual guidance.
And all of the stuff that I was seeing and learning what to do with it because it was
clogging me.
So I found Dr. Pillai right about then, or he found me, however that works.
So since that time to now, I have my own television show.
I have my own Podcast radio show.
And I got stuck again, because I started working too hard and not listening.
and things felt a little stagnant, just a little bit like Vipool lost his job.
All of a sudden, the monkey mind started going; and I felt stuck, kind of like in a cast.
So that's when Shreem Brzee comes back in.
So I'm thinking, "Okay, Lakshmi.
I'm stuck, I don't like it.
I have poverty thinking again.
What is going on with me?
I can't help others if I'm stuck here.
Wah, Wah, Wah."
So I would just get quiet periodically.
And just say a prayer to Lakshmi.
And [I'd] say Shreem Brzee from my heart, asking, "Anything to break the cast open."
I want a new house; I want a new office; I want to live somewhere else; I want this car
which I've been wanting for 5 years whichever is the quickest.
Make it happen."
And I would just do that through the day because I knew something would break.
I didn't know when.
So, immediately when my car breaks down; so the monkey mind says, "See, that's what
you get for doing Shreem Brzee.
You're going to lose this car too."
But the truth is — the car breaks down; I get a rental car.
I pick up the rental car.
The next thing I know, I'm driving to the dealership of the car I always wanted.
And I'm thinking to myself, "What are you doing?"
I'm still driving.
I show up.
They look at the rental car; they think it's my my new car.
"Oh no.
That's my other car that I traded in."
These things are coming out of my mouth.
I leave.
Now [I'm] afraid.
A week later, everyday I'm doing Shreem Brzee, not even connecting the dots.
And I hear this car calling me.
"No, no, no.
The one you want is in the lot; just come get me."
I'm like, "I can't come get you.
I don't have the money."
I drive an hour and a half.
I go to the [car] lot.
I hand the guy my car.
I sign.
I don't know what they saw that made it possible, but I got the best deal.
I got this car for half of what it would have been worth in terms of what I thought I was
going to have to pay, driving my dream car for half the price.
So, there you go.
And now my house is up for sale.
And I'm moving everything.
So.
[Jai Radha:]> Wow.
It happens.
[Gudal:]> It's fun, so much fun.
It's like literally talking to Lakshmi as I am driving to get this car.
I know she's beauty.
She's beauty.
You know, it's the symbolism of it.
Yes, sure — A car is a thing.
But what's most important is the symbolic representation because we humans — we need
evidence.
[Jai Radha:]> Right.
[Gudal:]> We need evidence.
We need to believe that what we believe is possible.
We need to believe that this negativity doesn't have to be.
And if we can just trust enough to follow those little voices, anything is possible.
So the car is great.
She's awesome.
She's beautiful.
And she gets washed all of the time, but it's what she represents.
[Jai Radha:]> Right.
[Gudal:]> My internal world changed that day.
[Jai Radha:]> Yes.
Exactly.
And that's what seekers are looking for — internal world shifting and external.
Then the external responding to that.
[Gudal:]> Absolutely.
A little bit of evidence.
So if that story can help anybody else, then I'm happy to share. It was a great, great week.
Thank you. It was so much fun.

a little more careful.

Do You Eat Ginger? Then You Should Watch This! - Duration: 4:17.
As a supplement and ingredient in a wide variety of recipes, ginger has been used for thousands
of years—not only in the Far East, but also in Europe.
Different cultures incorporate this spicy root into their dishes because it's so flavorful,
but also because of its health benefits.
In India they grate it into their tea, while in Japan ginger is used in miso soup, and
in Greece it goes well with fish.
However, there's another great way to enjoy ginger's benefits: By using ginger oil.
Used on the skin, rather than ingested, ginger oil has been known to relieve minor aches
and pain.
Did you know that ginger oil can also reduce swelling and bloating, aid in digestion, kill
microorganisms in the body, and help the blood circulate normally?
Those are are enough reasons to use ginger oil if you have the following issues:
Digestive problems If you're someone who has problems gaining
weight, ginger is great because it promotes a healthy appetite.
Issues related to gas, reflux, or overall discomfort in the gastrointestinal tract can
be solved by ginger.
If you have problems with an upset stomach, try massaging a few drops of ginger oil onto
your abdomen for relief.
Food poisoning Because it's capable of killing microorganisms
in our bodies, ginger oil is widely recommended for most intestinal infections like food poisoning
and bacterial dysentery.
Respiratory illnesses Ginger oil is a powerful expectorant, meaning
it will make that normally dry cough more productive, by letting us expel more mucus
from our throat and lungs.
That may be one of the reasons why they add it to their tea on the subcontinent of India.
So it's great if you struggle with arthritis.
Additionally, it helps soothe the throat and fights the flu and asthma.
Add some drops to a vaporizer to get some relief from the common cold.
Pain Both raw and as an oil, ginger has been used
to treat headaches and other minor pains.
It's a wonderful anti-inflammatory.
Cardiovascular issues By incorporating ginger oil into your normal
diet, you can strengthen your heart health.
Over time it will bring down your bad cholesterol and help slow the hardening of your arteries.
Together, the lack of these symptoms not only reduces the risk of blood clots but is also
capable of bringing down high blood pressure.
To be sold in stores, companies normally use a process of distilling the steam from boiled
ginger to create its essential oil, but we've got a recipe that will allow you to make your
own ginger oil at home.
It's very simple.
Ingredients:
- Fresh ginger; - 1 1/2 cups olive oil;
- Oven-safe bowl; - Cheese grater.
Directions:
1.
Wash about a cup of fresh, unpeeled ginger.
Allow it to dry completely.
This may take a few hours.
2.
Take the oven-safe bowl and add the olive oil to it.
3.
Using the grater, grate the dry ginger into the olive oil and mix well.
4.
Set the temperature in the oven to 150 degrees.
Place the ginger-olive oil mixture in the oven and let it simmer for at least two hours.
5.
Filter the mixture by pouring it through a cheese cloth (make sure that the cheese cloth
is unbleached) in order to remove the small bits.
After filtering, squeeze out the cloth to remove all of the oil possible.
6.
With a funnel, if necessary, pour the oil into smaller vials and store them in a cool,
dry place.
If your ginger oil isn't super concentrated, it's safe to use topically, because it's
non-toxic and shouldn't irritate the skin.
It's best to test it on a smaller area to make sure you're not sensitive or allergic.
This home made ginger oil recipe will stay fresh for up to six months.

Episode 7 | Space: How-To Number Two - Duration: 4:10.
(typewriter keys tapping)
- We don't mean to sound indelicate,
but here is a topic we need to talk about
when it comes to living and traveling in space.
All humans produce lots and lots of waste.
And as we've known for our entire lives,
this waste can be gross and smelly and sticky,
and that's just here on our planet.
In space, pooping and peeing is an ordeal.
First of all, gravity is a very very important factor
in going to the bathroom in the first place.
Our body is used to one gravity that
we feel here on our planet.
And so our bladders and colons have evolved
to use gravity as a sign of whether or not
it's time to go to the restroom.
So whether urination or defecation,
all of that gravity is super helpful
to let you know when it's time to go.
In micro gravity however, that gravity's
not there to help you.
And so for the very early missions from NASA,
the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo programs,
going to the bathroom was not something
most of the astronauts wanted to do.
Alan Shepard in 1961 spent 15 minutes
as the first American astronaut to make it into space,
but while he was locked in his capsule
for four and half hours, no one realized
that he had no way to go to the bathroom.
And so, on what have might have been
one of the single greatest technological feats
in the history of the United States,
Alan Shepard spent his entire time in space
soaked in his own urine.
By the time of the Gemini spacecraft,
there's only a limited amount of space
but with missions lasting several hours
and even several days, you're going to have
to go at some point.
NASA had given all of the astronauts a specific diet,
one high in protein and low in what scientists call residue.
These are foods that the body can accumulate
most of its nutrients and produce
very little waste in return.
However, when it was time to go,
it was time to strip down as well.
Since there was very little water
on any of these spacecrafts, if you got
fecal matter on yourself, on your spacesuit,
or on anything in the spacecraft,
it would be almost impossible to clean it.
And so the horror stories of being in an Apollo capsule,
stripping down while two other astronauts moved
as far away as they could from you
while you attached an adhesive bag to your buttocks
and then because gravity's not there to help you,
manually remove your feces from your body.
And so, if one gets out, you know it's
going to float around.
Apollo X, there is a transcript showing
the three astronauts talking about how
a single fece had made its way into orbit
inside the spacecraft.
That's about as far as we'll go on that.
Today, astronauts have it a little bit better.
In space, vacuums are your friend.
And so for urination and defecation,
astronomers use specialized space toilets
that actually imitate the one G of gravity
that we feel on our planet's surface.
While it's still difficult and oftentimes you need to aim,
it is a much easier way for us to be able to take
human waste and treat it carefully
on the international space station.
But that's not the best part.
The best part today is that scientists at NASA
and around central Florida are looking for ways
to take pee and poop and turn them into rocket fuel.
Almost all of the urine that's created
on the international space station will eventually
find it's way back into the station
as drinkable water and cooling for
the systems on the station.
And so, if you got to go, you got to go,
and that is one of the ways that space can gross you out.

Who Got Eren's Love Letter? Top 5 Picks! - Attack on Titan Theory - Duration: 5:32.
Where is our super special awesome letter going to? So what's up guys Foxen
here! The destination of Mr. Krueger's letter has gotten a lot of attention
from you guys! I gave a few quick predictions in my chapter 97 review.
Let's now go ahead and delve into this! Here's my top 5 candidates for Eren's
love letter. Make sure to leave your top 3 or 5 predictions down below too! Number
1 Reiner, this big guy has been shown to be extremely depressed and really at the
end of a cliff in this chapter. Eren should have gotten access to other his
father's or Krueger's past memories over these four years. You already found this
chapter how Eren seemed a lot more mature and perhaps hardened. Also think
back to that interaction between him and Reiner in the Titan forest. Like you and
me Eren should now have a lot more context to what was going on in Reiner's
head at that time. It is also possible that Eren could have been gathering
more info from the Eldians inside the internment camp too. Hell Eren might have
even ran into Reiner from afar. The point is either Eren alone or perhaps after
discussing it with others analyses a way of persuading and
gathering an old armored buddy. Tight now that Reiner is at his lowest it'd be the
perfect time for Eren to extend an olive branch to him.
Reiner currently is really only living to help out Gabby and other kids. If Eren
offers him a good plan I don't think convincing him would be too difficult.
Either way the interaction between Reiner and Eren after four years alone
is gonna be quite interesting. There is one thing that makes me doubt this
though. It's just what address is gonna be on that letter? If it is Reiner's, Falco
should instantly recognize it so that'd be a huge issue. Number two Zeke. If that
love letter really is going to Zeke I do hope that they thought this out.
Revealing themselves alone would put everyone in danger.
Zeke already was suggesting for Marley to head over to paradise island to get
the coordinate. Eren could possibly be delivering it on a golden pillow. I give
that a 50% chance of it happening but let's look at this more. Zeke is supposed
to be extremely intelligent and you seen that he's clearly hiding something. Just
what are you up to Zeke? Zeke previously mentioned to Eren about how he would
save him. He could have been lying at that moment but I got a feeling that
Zeke was actually being genuine. Bringing back your half-brother and then having
and eat him that be the complete opposite of what he said. So the other
50% shot would be Zeke would actually decide to work with Eren, and just a
good thing to that this is a much older mature Eren compared to before.
Otherwise I couldn't see this working out at all! By the way the issue of Zeke's
name being on the address does exist here too.
I guess there's also the question of how Eren would even know Zeke's address so
just keep that in mind. Number three Mikasa, Levi, Hange, Armin and the horse!
Alright so I've seen a lot of you mentioned how you want this to be a
trigger for Armin to Colossal Titan on their ass. It would just give them a
taste of their own medicine and honestly that would be fun to see
just for them to get some revenge but I do think there is like zero chance of
this happening. Assuming Mikasa and others are there
they should be aware of the other Eldian's horrible situation. They also do
know about the supposed Devils that history claims them to be. Besides even
if they all agree to it I can't see Armin from four years ago agreeing to do
anything like that. Although who knows I'm not sure how much darker Armin has
becoming, not to mention taller! Anyway I do think that Hange and others have
been sneaking around but I don't think they're inside Marly. Hange could
have parked one of the ships they stole in a nation right outside of Marley. At this
time they could be trying to gather allies. Eren's letter to them would then
confirm the state of Marley and the prison Eldians. Let's just hope that Marley
has an amazing postal service. Number four Annie's father. You know that I
really want to see Annie out of that crystal and if you see my theory video
on it I do believe that she's been out for quite some time. This could in fact
be a letter from Annie to her father just letting him know that she's still
alive. This could have been a condition for Annie in order for her to help out
the Paradise Island people. It is true that she's killed a ton directly and
indirectly but her situation is similar to Reiner and Hange should be aware of
why they did what they did. Just keep in mind that a letter to her father could
put all of them at risk. Hopefully the plan is for him to meet
them somewhere for them to rescue him the grand escape from Marley may show us
the Attack and female Titan versus the beast and Armored Titan. Number 5 Mr. and
Mrs. Yeager. Since there's been a lot of talk about family
there's always Annie and Zeke's grandparents. There is a chance they
could get some valuable information from them these are the grandparents that
raised Croatia and should have known Deana after grish on the group got
caught they should have gone in question and perhaps given some info from the
marley government there's also the important fact that they did raise deke
after his betrayal perhaps they could give some insight into Zeek what makes
him do what he does honestly though the possibility of this
one out of the other ones seems to be the lowest but anyway was more important
are your own thoughts after seeing this breakdown who do you see receiving
Aaron's love letter perhaps the next chapter is just gonna end with Zeke
reading winter is coming but really this is attack on Titan wash the marley
government or the type r family get it first as always be sure and give this a
colossal thumbs up and subscribe especially if you enjoy these attack on
Titan Theory videos if you're looking for more stuff to watch check out my
past video on any a Micasa and i'll see you guys later

Why Do All YouTubers Start the Same? - NEZIH CIHAN AKSOY - Duration: 4:29.
Hello everyone! Welcome to my channel.
"Why do we always open with the same sentence?" I had asked that question before.
You can watch that video from here.
In the meantime, I did a little research and I have found it.
What if I started like,
Hello everyone, welcome to my channel.
Would you continue watching?
Today, I'll tell you about a girl, first.
This girl is a little different than the girls
we see on the streets and gossip about
with their bags and stylish shoes.
For instance, she doesn't own shoes.
She does not like to wear shoes at all.
Well, she is not living in the city anyway.
She is always wandering up on the mountains.
Does she ever get bored?
Maybe.
Is she ever stressed?
Rarely.
So, why does this girl constantly running
and jumping up on the mountains?
I am not saying either running or jumping.
Jumping and running at the same time!
I think you all know whom I am talking about.
If you don't, you should.
HEIDI!
girl of the mountains with rosy cheeks.
🎤!!!HEIDİ!!!🎶
She is probably the best example for today's topic.
There is only one reason for her to stay positive and happy.
ENTHUSIASM!
What is enthusiasm?
According to its first meaning in the dictionary,
an extraordinary expression of emotions
that comes along with joyful demonstrations in a person.
but the meaning that is relevant for us is
an extraordinary emotion state in a person where internal or external stimulators hit.
Enthusiasm motivates you
and the ones you interact, it pushes you.
Enthusiasm makes you run.
Not just running, it makes you run a marathon.
Enthusiasm makes you climb Everest.
Enthusiazm make you write the word
"enthusiasm" with Z.
Enthusiasm make you "FRANK BETTGER".
Who is Frank Bettger?
Frank Bettger is somebody like you, with dreams.
He only has one difference.
His enthusiasm.
Frank grew up in a poor family.
He had to work but
he also went after his passion for baseball.
One day, as he was getting ready for a game, team manager shows up and tell him,
- Frank,
- Frank, you're out!
- Why?
Repeating "why", Franks runs after him.
- Why are you firing me?
- You wander around the pitch like old veterans.
- You show no signs of effort and enthusiasm.
- I am very excited and
- I am trying to cover up this excitement, hide it from the opponent.
- This way I get calmer and relax myself.
says Frank.
- It's not working Frank.
- Here is an advice from me:
- Whatever you do after today, do it with enthusiasm.
Frank gets really upset.
Shortly after, a friend of his
convinces another team to try him out.
Frank is about to go on his first match and he is getting ready in locker room.
At that very moment,
He remembers his old manager's words.
"Whatever you do after today, do it with enthusiasm"
Franks plays with such grace and power that day
it's almost like he is electrified.
As if he swallowed a million batteries.
He is everywhere on the pitch,
he hits the ball with such force
that he keeps on scoring.
the following day,
Frank is on the cover of newspapers
!!!!ENERGY BETTGER!!!
THIS MAN WILL MAKE US CHAMPION!
In just 10 days, his salary gets raised 7 times and
after 2 years, it becomes 30 times more than his first one.
You may have passion for something.
You may be loving it.
However, as long as you don't express it with enthusiasm,
no one will think you actually enjoy it.
When you sell,
when you love,
when you work,
or when you talk about yourself...
Unless you show your enthusiasm,
it becomes almost impossible to convince others.
From the word structure of a sentence you use,
to the volume of your voice and your gestures, they are all a part of a whole.
They all help you give way to the enthusiasm inside.
I think, now, we all understand why all YouTubers start the same.
Right?
Now it's your turn!
Please comment below what you are most enthusiastic about in life.
let's all be enthusiastic together!
While we are talking about enthusiasm,
you can click on "subscribe" button with those enthusiastic fingers.
Don't embrace the Pollyanna inside
but Heidi, all the way!
You'll be surprised to see what enthusiasm brings you.
Hope to see you soon.

JUST IN: Governor of Puerto Rico Rises Up, Issues Shocking Trump Message | Top Stories Today - Duration: 3:59.
The unusually active 2017 Atlantic hurricane season continues to rage into fall as Puerto
Rico recovers from Hurricane Maria's devastation.
Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello praised President Trump for his rapid response to
Hurricane Maria, adding that the American island is still struggling to recover from
"the biggest catastrophe in modern history for Puerto Rico," according to Politico.
Gov. Rossello and other officials lauded President Trump and the Federal government for having
a comprehensive relief plan in place before the storm hit.
The American island of Puerto Rico has long been neglected by the Federal government.
The territory, which is home to 3.4 million Americans, does not send Representatives or
Senators to Congress and has no Electoral College votes.
Resident Commission Jenniffer Gonzalez, Puerto Rico's non-voting congressional representative,
explained that President Trump's response is a welcome change from previous administrations.
"This is the first time we get this type of federal coordination," she added.
Hurricane Maria hit Puerto Rico on Wednesday as a Category 4 storm.
The devastation was immediate.
Authorities have confirmed 10 deaths, but the number is expected to rise as mayors report
from remote towns and communities.
Many major stretches of the island remain inaccessible to first responders.
Mayors continue to arrive in the capital of San Juan to meet with Gov. Rossello, and they
bring a long list of desperately needed supplies.
Mayor Jose Sanchez Gonzalez, from the coastal town of Manati, told the governor that his
community is completely out of fuel and fresh water.
"Hysteria is starting to spread.
The hospital is about to collapse.
It's at capacity," he said, with tears streaming down his face.
"We need someone to help us immediately."
Authorities from the community of Vega Alta told the governor that the entire neighborhood
of Fatima could not be reached.
The authorities were desperate to enter the neighborhood and evacuate residents from a
local nursing home.
"I need to get there today," Mayor Oscar Santiago said to reporters.
"Not tomorrow, today."
Hurricane Maria ravaged Puerto Rico's already outdated infrastructure.
1360 out of the island's 1600 phone towers have been downed by the storm, and 85 percent
of the above ground internet, cabal, and phone lines have been knocked out.
Major swaths of the island are completely in the dark, as the island cannot afford to
repair their already crumbling infrastructure.
Puerto Rico sustained massive damage, as did Houston and Florida.
Will the US be able to help Puerto Rico?
Puerto Rico's main port opened Saturday allowing 11 ships stocked full of federal
aid to dock.
The ships delivered 23,000 cots, 1.6 million gallons of water, food, and generators.
Many more ships are scheduled to arrive over the next few days.
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) officials arrived with the ships and brought
satellite phones to all of the island's towns and cities.
Many municipalities are still without power, fresh water, or lines to the outside world.
The Federal government freed up $1 billion in local funds to provide relief for Hurricane
Maria, but Gov. Rossello says the island still needs more.
"We're going to request waivers and other mechanisms so Puerto Rico can respond to this
crisis," the governor said.
"Puerto Rico will practically collect no taxes in the next month."
Puerto Rico is a shadow of its former self due to the storms and the humanitarian crisis
in the aftermath.
Hopefully, with the aid and relief efforts heralded by the Federal government, the nation
can recover and persevere as Americans do.
Will the US be able to help Puerto Rico rebuild?
what do you think about this?

The Real First Black Man to Play Major League Baseball - Duration: 9:43.
The great Jackie Robinson accomplished an amazing amount in his lifetime both on and
off the field.
Despite all the adversity and pressure he experienced, he somehow managed to put up
legitimate Hall of Fame numbers doing what is often described as the hardest thing in
all of sports- hitting a round ball with a thin round stick.
One thing that he didn't do, something that's often credited to him, was become the first
African American person to play in the Major Leagues.
That was something that had been done at least three times before Robinson made his historic
Major League debut on April 15, 1947.
Now if you happen to be a trivia buff and knew that already, odds are you think the
first was actually Moses Fleetwood Walker, the second was his brother Weldy Walker, and
you're probably scratching your head trying to come up with the third.
It turns out, that's probably not correct either, although the verdict is still slightly
out on the matter (being a very recent discovery).
The real first African American to play in the major leagues, and the only former slave
to do so, is now generally thought to be a man by the name of William Edward White.
Eighteen year old White, who at the time was a student at Brown, replaced an injured Joe
Start in one single game in the Majors, playing for the National League Providence Grays on
June 21, 1879.
This was five years before Fleetwood Walker would make his Major League debut.
In that game, White went 1 for 4 and scored a run in a game the Grays won 5 to 3.
While not a lot is known about White, what is known is that he officially claimed he
himself was "white" and not of African heritage (his skin color apparently being
light enough to pass as such).
This is why up until very recently he wasn't given credit for being the first African American
to play in the Majors, with that honor going to Moses Fleetwood Walker.
This all changed when members of the Society for American Baseball Research, more commonly
known as "SABR", uncovered the fact that, according to an 1870 U.S. census, White's
mother was a woman named Hannah White, one of the 70 slaves owned by the person William
White listed as his father according to Brown University's records- Andrew Jackson White.
Hannah's other two children also appear to have been fathered by Andrew Jackson White.
A.J.
White also left the bulk of his estate to Hannah's three children when he died, including
William White, though he only acknowledged them as "the children of my servant Hannah",
rather than his own children.
In the context of solving the mystery of whether William White was the first African American
to play in the Majors, the important bit in the Will is that he named William the child
of Hannah, which backs up what the U.S. census stated.
Thus, with the evidence at hand so far, it appears William White was the first African
American to play in the Majors.
As to why he never played again after that game, it isn't known, but of course speculation
is that his heritage was discovered, though it may have simply been that a better player
was in the wings, as his replacement was future Hall of Famer Jim O'Rourke.
Whatever the case, the person long considered to have been the first African American to
play in the Majors was, as mentioned, Moses Fleetwood Walker.
Walker made his Major League debut on May 1, 1884 playing for the Toledo Blue Stockings
against the Louisville Eclipse.
He had been playing for the then minor league Blue Stockings when the team was added to
the American Association, which later became the American League.
By all accounts, Walker was no less of an amazing player than the great Jackie Robinson,
and is deserving of a lot of credit for what he went through during his time in the Majors.
How good was he?
Let's just qualify the stats with the fact that Walker was a catcher… who caught without
a glove or any other major protection, as was common at the time.
Needless to say, catchers of the day were incredibly injury prone and rarely did well
offensively because of the beating they took behind the plate.
Walker had it worse than most because many of the pitchers didn't want to let a black
man ostensibly tell them what to do by calling the pitches.
As one pitcher, Tony Mullane, stated:
[Walker] was the best catcher I ever worked with, but I disliked [the] Negro and whenever
I had to pitch to him I used to pitch anything I wanted without looking at his signals.
As a result, Walker was in the unenviable position of crouching behind the plate attempting
to catch baseballs with no protective gear nor glove and not knowing the location nor
what pitch was going to be thrown.
Despite this, in his 42 games played in the Majors, he batted .263 (some accounts claim
.264).
Now that might not sound impressive, but you should consider the fact that this was well
above average in his day- the rest of his team combined for an average of just .231
with the league average just .240 the season he played.
Further, as catchers took an incredible beating (and still do today, though to a drastically
lesser extent), most catchers typically batted between .100-.200 in his day.
He was so good with his bat, that when he was too beat up to catch, they'd typically
put him in the outfield so as not to lose his offensive production.
He also had to overcome the same type of obstacles as Jackie Robinson, including death threats,
constant personal and physical attacks, and certain players refusing to play if Walker
was allowed on the field, such as future Hall of Famer Adrian "Cap" Anson (the first
major leaguer to accumulate more than 3,000 hits, finishing with 3,481).
In fact, Fleetwood Walker's brother, Weldy Walker, who also played in the Majors (5 games),
blamed Anson for the banning of African American players in the Minor and Major leagues in
the first place.
(In truth, Anson's despicable antics probably didn't have nearly that much to do with
it, though Anson was quite vocal about his opinions on the matter and not shy at all
about trying to pressure others into advocating for the same stance.)
For instance, in Anson's first encounter with Walker, Walker was supposed to have the
day off, but when manager Charlie Morton heard that Anson and his team, the White Stockings,
were refusing to play if Walker was allowed on the field, he put Walker in the lineup
and told Anson that not only would they be forfeiting the game if they refused to play,
but they'd also forfeit the money from ticket sales.
Once money was brought into it, Anson and the White Stockings begrudgingly agreed to
play.
After being injured to the point where he couldn't bat, Fleetwood Walker's Major
League career ended up being over.
Once he was healed up, he continued his career in the minors (which in 1887 boasted 13 African
Americans despite rampant segregation).
He also played in a few other leagues before finally both the National League and the American
Association decided on their "gentleman's agreement" to not sign any African American
player, with that decision trickling down to other leagues that had not already instituted
similar bans.
Robbed of the ability to play in the American and National Leagues as well as most others
of any note at the time, Fleetwood Walker left baseball, as his brother also later did
after playing and managing in a Negro league that ultimately failed.
The two went on to various business ventures, at which they were seemingly quite successful,
such as owning an operating a hotel, a movie theater, as well as a series of restaurants.
Fleetwood Walker even attempted to get patents on a few different pieces of equipment he
invented for showing "moving pictures"; he also held a patent for a certain type of
exploding artillery shell.
The two also became involved in politics with Weldy Walker serving on the Executive Committee
of the Negro Protective Party, which was formed in response to the government turning a blind
eye on the frequent lynchings that occurred at the time.
The two also owned and operated the newspaper, The Equator.
I'll close this with an excerpt from an open letter from Weldy Walker to the President
of the Tri-State League published in The Sporting Life on March 14, 1888, after African Americans
were officially banned from playing in those leagues when a law permitting them to be signed
was repealed by the league:
…It is not because I was reserved and have been denied making my bread and butter with
some club that I speak; but it is in hopes that the action taken at your last meeting
will be called up for reconsideration at your next.
The law is disgrace to the present age, and reflects very much upon the intelligence of
your last meeting, and casts derision at the laws of Ohio- the voice of the people- that
say all men are equal.
I would suggest that your honorable body, in case that black law is not repealed, pass
one making it criminal for a colored man or woman to be found in a ball ground.
There is now the same accommodation made for the colored patron of the game as the white,
and the same provision and dispensation is made of the money of them both that finds
its way into the coffers of the various clubs.
There should be some broader cause–such as want of ability, behavior, and intelligence–for
barring a player than his color.
It is for these reasons and because I think ability and intelligence should be recognized
first and last–at all times and by everyone–I ask the question again, why was the "law
permitting colored men to sign repealed, etc.?"
Yours truly, Weldy W. Walker
While on the whole the Walker brothers did quite well for themselves financially in their
lives after baseball, particularly considering the racial obstacles they had to deal with
at the time, Fleetwood Walker was once attacked by a group of white men.
During the ensuing melee, Walker killed one of the men, Patrick Murray.
The remaining attackers attempted to kill Walker, but he escaped, though was later arrested
and imprisoned.
Somewhat surprisingly given attitudes at the time, on June 3, 1891 at the conclusion of
his trial, a jury of all white men acquitted
Walker
on all charges.
