Youtube daily report w Oct 1 2017

Hello and welcome crafty friends!

I'm Smitha Katti I blog at SmilingColors.com but many of you know me as @theshinynest on

instagram!

I love exploring and trying out new watercolor techniques and today I am trying out how to

Watercolor by dropping in color.

In this video I will show you two lettering projects using different products that give

completely different results.

I'll also share a simpler flower project at the end of the video- this one is much

easier and creates the softest looking watercolor flowers and leaves.

So lets dive in and get started.

I'm going to first show you how I lettered this multi colored "happy" word.

For this technique I used watercolor cakes and a water brush or an aqua brush.

You can try this with any watercolor palette you have at home- even your kids art supplies.

The brush though needs to be a good one.

I am using the water brush that was included along with these watercolors I am using- these

are the Kol watercolors by Sakura.

On my blog I will recommend a few other paint brushes that I like using to letter with.

For this technique, you start by literally lettering your word using just water.

I am going to letter my word alphabet by alphabet.

Then I am adding water to my colors and dropping the watery colors onto my alphabet.

I used three of for colors here- two reds, and orange and a yellow.

The yellow helped add a great pop of contrast.

Since you have lettered the alphabet shape in water first, the colors that you drop will

spread only along those letters.

If you add too little water, the colors wont move freely, if you add too much water, the

water and eventually the color will end up pooling at one certain point.

You can use your brush to move the colors a bit and blend them or push them to where

you want.

But I found out that trying to control the color flow isn't necessary really, the colors

blend and dry in their own time and always end up looking good.

Even through I am using a water brush, i often dip my brush into a bowl of water instead

of squeezing it, just so that I have a greater control of the water that is applied to the

paper.

So for this example I used a mixed media sketch book, this one was a medium weight Strathmore

one, but I felt that this technique needed a bit more of a heavier paper to really enjoy

the wateriness.

So with that, lets put this sketchbook aside to dry, I will show you how it looks at the

end of the video and meanwhile let's dive into the Technique no 2.

This one turned out to be a favorite of mine.

This time I have a sturdier paper and I am using Tombow Dual brush pens.

Actually, just one brush pen- color number 857.

This is a great maroony pinkish red.

I am scribbling some of the marker color onto a blending palette, if you don't have the

palette, any kind of plastic slick surface will do. and I am going to try dropping in

just one color this time.

In the previous example I felt there was just too many colors trying to co exist happily,

so this time I simplified.

And I kept my water a bit murky, this way I think it will be much easier for you to

see the water lettering on camera.

So I started the same way, I lettering in the alphabet using just water, and then I

picked up some color and dropped it in.

Since these Dual brush pens have a water based pigment in them, they react beautifully in

such techniques.

How cute is this looking already.

By dripping in just one color this time I am getting more tones and hues of that color

as it blends and settles into the water.

As I move forward with my word, I do go back and add more color to areas is I feel like

there is a blank spot.

As long as you can see the water pooled on your paper you can keep adding color to it.

When you join your letters as you go forward, you will see the water and color blend and

move beautifully.

This is such a fun technique to just watch come alive.

I highly urge you to try it once atleast!!

This technique though is really popular with the liquid concentrated water colors like

the Ph Martins ones.

You can alternately try this with just a basic ink bottle or even more fun with liquid food

coloring.

How fun would that be.

Okay, now while our second attempt dries as well, I am going to quickly try to paint some

flowers using the color dropping method.

This time again I have a heavy watercolor paper- I will link to all the supplies I use

on my blog post and I will let you know where you can easily find htem.

96 colors of pure joy.

I pulled out all of my tomboys to choose from today.

This time I also have a paper towel on hand- I'll tell you why in a moment.

As like before, I start to paint with water.

This time instead of alphabets I am painting petals of a flower here.

You can't really see it but the water is there.

I am creating a color palette of sorts by scribbling my color onto my blending palette

and then I am picking up the color onto my brush with some water- starting with my lightest

color.

I drop in the lightest color towards the outer edges of the petals, then I add the next color

to the middle of the petals and the darkest colors to the center of the flower.

This is basically known as the wet on wet technique.

You wet the paper and then add wet paint to it.

This allows the wet paint to spread and blend in a slightly controlled manner.

Now I didn't like the areas where the water started to pool too much.

So I just used the tip of the paper towel to absorb some of the excess water off.

You will be removing the color as well so you will have to go back and add a bit more.

Let me show you another flower.

Now I need to add more color to my palette here for the next flower- Never bring your

tomboys directly into a watery surface.

I always wipe my palette clean and remove any trace of water before scribbling more

color onto it.

This way you wont ruin your tombow markers.

725 847 747 679

For this flower, I moved my camera a bit so that you can have a closer look at the technique.

I am following the exact same steps- paint the petals with water and then drop in the

colors.

Add the lightest colors towards the outer edges of the petals and add the darker colors

towards the center.

The colors will blend and create a soft flowery look and feel.

173 528 277 Now I am going to paint a few leaves quickly, making sure that the leaves

don't touch the wet flowers.

The leaves are just scattered on the outside.

I am speeding it up here, just so that you can see how it comes together, but really

I am repeating the same few steps as before.

I will also leave the exact colors numbers of the Tombow Markers I used in this example,

in case you want to recreate this yourself.

Make sure you stop by my blog for that.

Here is a closer look at how this looks while it is still wet.

I went back and added a little more of the darker color to the center of the flower.

Bur really I loved how this looked and I just put this to the side to dry with the others.

Now lets take a close look at how they all dried.

Here is the first one - The word happy with the Sakura Koi watercolors.

The colors all blended as they dried, but you can clearly see tiny minuscule dots of

the color pigment just dried onto the paper.

Kinda looks like salt.

It doesn't look bad, it has a bi too tie dye look to it but this definitely wasn't the

result I had in mind.

What do you guys think?

Was this a hit or a miss?

Here is how the second one dried.

This one was using the Tombow Dual brush pen and this one looks so pretty!

There are areas of light color, darker areas where the color pooled and honestly I am in

love with how this looks.

This was easy to create and adds such a simple wow factor when done.

Definitely will be doing more of these in the future.

Here is now the flowers dried, The smaller flower dried beautifully, but the larger flower

is just ok according to me.

This just shows how its important to have a uniform layer of water on the paper, if

there is too much water in just one area the color gets washed out rather than blend.

If there is too little water the colors just sit and wont move or blend.

You just need to find the right balance in between.

But I really felt that these flowers just needed another layer of color and I fiddled

with it a bit more and this is what I ended up with.

The centers got a darker shade that just contrasts nicely and just brings a new depth to the

flower.

I used whatever watercolors I had on hand and I will list and link all of the art supplies

I used in todays video in the youtube description box below this video and also over at my blog

Viagem a pé no Alentejo (Ep.8) Cante Alentejano em Sete, em Safara e na Cuba +Arrufa [ENG-ITA SUB] - Duration: 14:51.

"At the first lights of dawn"

"I heard a singing voice"

"It was the voice of the manager"

"Let's go, boys"

working, yes, it's a reason for joy

because, as the song goes:

"Harvest is coming, what a joy!"

because of the harvest, because of the work

people were happy

there was a pain for tiredness

harvesting all day long, bent down

bent bodies, you know

from sunrise to sunset

it's exhausting

but it's a reason for joy

because there's work

so you'll have money and the possibility

to have more prosperity in your house

compared to other times of the year

when there was more...

...lack of work

and with the lack of work people were more hungry

they complained with their parents

because they had nothing to eat

and feeling hungry

and their parentes were telling them: "sing, my son, sing!"

Day #37

the Community House, here, in Safara

the Community House

has two Choirs

does it have, or DID it have?

now... they exists, but they are in a moment of...

"Aldeia Barnquinha", Safara

it's from Safara, "Aldeia Branquinha"?

see that? Michel Giacometti

Safara, due to the song to the Child

the Christmas song

it's one of the most beautiful

in Portugal

there were 3.000 people living in Safara, 3 or 4 decades ago

for the last census, now we are 1.076

a third of what was before

everybody went to Lisbon, or to France, or to Germany

you see?

and also many beautiful voices went away

but: is there a choir or not?

there is a choir, but it's difficoult to...

it's harder to find and recruit

men or women who can sing

to join the choir

everyone, also the common people who can't read music

everyone can sing "Nossa Senhora do Carmo"

my nephew, who is now turning 8

knows it

because he goes to the processions

the band plays

and the women and men...

in the church

in the church as well

do you want to sing it toghether?

do you want to sing?

come on, sing toghether

we do it the Saint Anna version, eh?

"Oh Lady Saint Anna"

"Who are"

"In your altar"

"We're all coming"

"to kneel"

"and singing"

"singing we come to pray"

there are many verses

but this is the refrain

it's the refrain, and at school

they already learn it

he will turn 8 on the day 12

of September

and he already knows it

he learns these things at school

and do you need a choir to sing, or...?

no, it's not mandatory that you have a choir

but for a good performance, with good voices...

I don't mean for a performance: for the sake of singing

yes, just singing

men, having a drink, a beer

sing...

in the Community House

or in a tavern

that's not every day

but sometimes

without a director, they start to sing

here in Safara?

yes

in Safara and, I guess, in other towns as well

in Povoa

in Povoa de São Miguel, he says

but in the old times

they sang in the fields

people went to work in the fields

I told you, before... the olive's picking

in the olive grove

men were picking with a rake

and I was in a tree, somedoby else in another tree

8-10 trees at the time

and we sang

instead of singing arm in arm, they sang toghether, but far from each other

this is all gone

but me, beeing young...

why is it all gone? aren't there any more olives?

there are olives

what's gone is that...

today we have electrical machines

they stick that to the tree

and they shake it

Safara, my beloved land, between all the towns you have no equals"

this CD

you can listen to it in your car

once it was not even imaginable

being able to listen to a big chois inside a car

this is somebody else, another one

in the fields, today, the machines...

works and there's no need for men

now we have this thing

but in the olives...

wait, listen to the question

now we have this machine, here, and we don't need for men to sing

ah, that's right

we only need to put a CD inside a machine

and we can drink a beer

or a wiskey

here, nice and cozy

with air conditioning

and they were working in the fields with 45°C

in the summer, here in Safara and Amareleja

we reach the 45°C

when the people, young people, students

who are now far from these things

they don't work in the fields...

they only knows that their granpa can sing, or their uncle is a good singer

or their father, maybe

they hear people singing, but the don't sing

Day #40

this shakes the grapes

and the machine clean everything, you keep the grape, only

and in the intensive olive grove you use this same machine

it's the same one

you only need to change the stake, in there

but it's the same machine

and this is your job

yes, but mostly with olives, not here

for the olives you only need these

for the vineyards you need these, too

but the machine is the same one

work is easier

today?

yes

it's harder because you can't speak with anybody, you're alone

8 hours working alone

before it was as you say, you can speak with people

this is the difference

but the work is better, it's easier

you have air conditioning, before you work under the sun

and the rain

not today

work is better, today

you have air conditioning in the tractor

yes, there's air conditioning

every machines, now, have air conditioning

"Seeing you so young"

"Seeing you like this, as a little girl"

"This is my only pain, my sweet young friend"

the idea was to leave this town and go find a job somewhere else

and parents are proud to see their sons in Lisbon or in Porto

or Madrid, or Brazil

the idea was going away, leave

and go back in the weekend, or for Christmas

to give family a visit

the most of us leave, because here we don't have...

you can live of... what is that this place can give you: agriculture

right?

and agricultur doesn't need so much peaople, today

exactly

a job for one or two people

and not everybody would live out of agricolture

we have other dreams and other paths to follow

and there are not so many months, here, whene you can practice those other professions

you come here today and you see a lot of young people

and you think: are they all from Cuba?

they're from Cuba

Cuba has a lot of young people

mothers and fathers are working fine

there are many children, and a lot are coming

the nursery is full

Cuba has a lot of potential

to create something here

the old ones, seeing a lot of young people here

in the beginning, when we opened Arrufa, they stood at the door

looking in

and they wasn't sure if this was a place for them

because there were young people at the bar

maybe it was a place for young people

the young ones, the same

because the Taberna do Arrufa had always been a place were old men were coming and have a wine

they were not sure and thinking:

"Should we go in?"

"is this for old men?"

so in the beginning it was a bit confused and with a strage mixture

but from that mix came out the clients we have today

the young and old ones toghether

young people come here, old ones, children

everybody

and this was our goal

having this gathering place, many young men began to sing

in the alentejan way, and give value to the Cante

here, at the Tavern

many people met here, and here is were the Bafos de Baco were born

and I think that today every young man can sing a traditional song

today, when people sing, and you see a lot of young people singing in the alentejan style

when they close their eyes

people gets like "my god!"

he's really feeling it

many times the police came and knock because 4 or 5 guys were singing

with no amplification

they were no amplified

I've been an immigrant Portuguese

I went to Paris

where I worked a lot

what kind of job?

cleaning, gardening

and then I took care of an old woman for 9 years

why did I go to France?

here there's no...

but then life became very complicated

when I got married and my son was born, and then my doughter

so I thought to come back

I had some money, already

I bought this bar

and I settle here

here in Portugal there's always time for a coffe, time to take a walk, time for everything

we live time, and let it pass

we have to enjoy every good moment

because we all have bad ones

and live one day at a time

Top 10 People Wrongfully Executed - Duration: 9:58.

How's it going Youtube I am Landon and welcome to a new Most Amazing Top 10 video?

Things are about to get really crazy.

As of April 1st there were 2,842 death row inmates in the United States and this is no

joke.

Well a lot of these people have committed horrible crimes but some of these people who

were strapped in the electric chair or given a lethal injection were innocent.

It just doesn't make sense to me why a ton of people were killed and was later found

to be innocent why not give them a fair trial with DNA tests and really look through all

of the evidence.

Well this is the top 10 people wrongfully executed.

And in the comment section tell me if you believe in the death penalty.

So just before we get into the video, we now have Patreon.

We will be uploaded a whole bunch of extra bonus content, we will be giving away free

merch and allowing you guys to help pick our videos.

You get to become apart of the team.

So if you guys want to help support us click the link down below.

Can't wait to see you Most Aamzing people over on Patreon.

Starting us off at number 10 we have, Claude Jones who was actually the last man put to

death during George W Busys time as Governor of Texas.

Claude was executed after a liquor-store robbery went horrible wrong.

During this robbery Allen Hilzendager lost his live when he was shot 3 times and Clade

became the prime suspect, and was quickly given the lethal injections.

The crime took place in 1989 and in 2000 when Claude was 60 yrs old he was killed.

One of the Key evidence was a strand of hair.

Well when it was properly DNA tested it was no doubt that it actually didn't belong

to Claude.

The hair wasn't even re-tested till the innocence project stepped in about 10 yrs

after he was killed.

So for 11 yrs we had an innocent man sitting in a jail cell on death row, and he was killed

for someone elses horrible crime.

Number 9.

We have Cameron Todd Willingham who was an American man who was convicted and executed

for the murder of his three young children by arson at his family home in Corsicana,

Texas back in 1991.

Cameron was executed at the age of 36 yrs old.

This case didn't sit well for some so people started to dig into this case and they found

out the investigative techniques used in this case were a bit odd and also evidence was

misinterpreted.

A Texas Forensic science commission examined the evidence themselves and found that claims

are arson were very doubtful.

Also the people who testified like a witness named Johnny Webb testimonies were very questionable.

Well it was found out that a fire just started at the home and Cameron was just really lucky

to be alive.

So in this situation we have this poor guy who just lost his whole family due to a fire

and instead of the state helping him out financially and emotionally they deemed him the prime

suspect and than they killed him.

Is this real life right now.

Kinda sickening when you think about it.

Ruben Cantu comes in at number 8.

Now this is a really crazy one, well they all are but Ruben was executed for a murder

people believed he committed when he was just 17 yrs old.

So this is a minor who was put on death row.

I didn't think you could be a minor on death row but I am assuming he was convicted as

an adult.

Do you guys believe kids under 18 yrs old should be allowed to be tried as an adult?

Ruben was killed at the age of 26 yrs old by lethal injection.

Before he died he wrote a note that read " I have been framed in a capital murder case.

I was framed because I shot an off-duty police officer named joe De La Luz.

Ruben became the 5th juvenile offender to be executed by the state of Texas.

Ruben and his friend were accused of shooting dead two people during a robbery that went

bad.

Well it was thought that 2 people died, well actually 1 person survived and that person

was a police officer.

That officer when he was able to talk said that Ruben was the killer.

Well after Ruben was excuted, the police officer actually took back his story.

I tried to see if this officer was also given the death pentalty for such a horrible lie

but I was un able to find anything.

Number 7, we have Carlos DeLuna.

He was an American man who was convicted of murder.

He was excuted at the age of 27 yrs old by the state of Texas.

24 yr old Wanda Lopez who was killed back in 1983.

She was a gas station attendant who died from multiple stab wounds apparently from a buck

knife.

Wanda was killed while on the phone with police.

This case was actually reopened up years later and upon findings it is known that Carlos

DeLuna was the wrong person and the murderer was actually a man who looked very similar

to Carlos description.

So it was his look-alike that should have been killed for this crime but instead an

innocent man lost his life.

Really Flawed justice system if you asked me.

Moving into number 6.

We have Jesse Tafero who was convicted of murder and was executed by the electric chair

in the stare of Florida for the murders of a Florida Highway Patrol officers.

The officers were killed during a traffic stop.

This case is more simplier than the other ones on this list because when Jesse was killed

the actually murderer confused to the crime and it was proven that Jesse Tafero was the

wrong guy.

This is just a joke in the justice system.

Not sure why they keep screwing up.

This was around the time when people really questioned the justice system.

This became head line news.

There was a movie made based out of this true story.

At Number 5.

We have Timothy Evans who was a Welshman.

He was falsely accused of murdering his wife and infant daughter at their residence in

Notting Hill, London.

Timothy was convicted back in 1950.

During his trial Timothy kept his innocence and he actually accused a neighbour John Christie

of committing the murderer but for some reason John wasn't a suspect at all.

Well 3 yrs after Timothys execution John Christie who only Timothy suspected as the murder was

actually the serial killer.

John actually killed 6 other woman in the same house including his own wife.

That is just so messed up.

Number 4, Larry Griffin.

Larry was sentenced to death for the murder of 19 yr old Quintin Moss in St. Louis Missouri.

Larry was convicted of killing the teenager during a drive by shooting.

According to the courts Larry was their guy he was the guilty one so he was executed by

lethal injections back in 1995.

This absoutley made no sence because Larrys finger prints was not on the car or on the

murder weapon all of the evidence against him was circumstantial.

Right up to his execution Larry maintained his innocence.

10 yrs later in 2005 a University professor from Michigan Law School reopened the case.

And upon his investigations he concluded that Larry was innocent.

The killer is still out there today, and its sad.

It just seems like even without evidence the justice system just wants to see someone be

punished for the crimes that take place.

Now at number 3 we have David Spence.

David was accused of the rape and murder of two 17 yr old girls and one 18 yr old boy

in Waco, Texas.

David received the death penalty in two trials for the murders.

These trials went on for more than a decade.

A total of 4 people were caught for this crime, and they were given life in prison.

The fourth suspect was released just several years later.

This was because he took the plea deal and he testified against David.

This crime took place in 1982 and David was executed by lethan injection in 1997.

David was on death row for about 15 yrs.

After he was executed it was proven that the 4th suspect who testified against David told

lies.

He was offered cigarettes, television and alcohol privileges and conjugal visits for

his testimonies.

Is this real life right now If this was my case I don't think I would listen to convicts

testimonies you never know what they are being offered why not just take out all the she

said or he said and just strickly look into the evidence.

Because in this case nothing actually pointed to David Spence.

Now at number 2 we have Marcellus Williams.

Now this case is a bit different with all the other ones on this list.

Marcellus was actually almost executed but a last minute situation developed.

I wanted to share his story because its really messed up but I think this is how all the

other cases should have went.

So Marcellus was scheduled to be excuted but moments because he was killed by the state

the Missouri governor stepped in after looking at this case himself and he haulted the execution

till all the evidence was looked at.

Marcellus has been locked up since 1998 for the death of 42 yr old Felicia Gayle she was

stabbed 43 times well after 20 yrs Marcellus has been locked away as the person who committed

this crime.

But it has been proven that his DNA wasn't even on the murder weapon, a lot of the evidence

actually none of the evidence pointed to Marcellus so it's a mystery to why he has been locked

away for so long.

Marcellus lawyers tried to bring this case to supreme court but it was rejected.

Only the governor of the state has the power to stop the execution and he did.

So now it's a waiting game to find out whats going to happen with Marcellus.

Finally at number 1 we have Leo Jones.

He was convicted of murdering a police officer in Jacksonville, Florida.

Lea actually signed a confession after several hours of police interrogation.

After the confession he said that he was forced into it.

He feared for his life because police brutally beat him.

This case went to trial and after 7 yrs Leo Jones was seen to be guilty of this crime

and he was executed by the electric chair.

After Leo Jones was killed eye witnesses actually came out of hiding to give a statement to

what really happened.

The wrong person was excuted.

These witnesses probably didn't come forward out of fear but now a man lost his life.

Do you guys think something should happen to these eye witnesses who kept important

detail to themselves?

Let me know in the comment section below.

Well that's it for this video thanks so much for watching.

Empty Stadiums? NFL Ticket Sales Fall Off A Cliff… | Top Stories Today - Duration: 3:13.

On the heels of a 17.9 percent drop in ticket sales from one online reseller, another is

reporting numbers that almost double that.

We reported Friday that TickPick, an online reseller of tickets for all sorts of events,

recorded a drop of 17.9 percent in Week Four ticket purchases over Week Three.

Now another online broker of tickets, TicketCity, is reporting a drop by a whopping 31 percent

over last week, The Blaze is reporting.

At the same time last year, ticket sales dropped, but not nearly by this level.

"We have seen a massive decrease in NFL ticket purchases this past week in comparison

to years past.

Week 3 seems to usually have less ticket orders than week 2, but this year ticket purchases

are down more than 7 percent from this time last year," said TickPick's Jack Slingland.

This should really come as no surprise.

After a third week of mass protests by the NFL – the teams, the players, and now the

entire league – ratings are swirling the toilet bowl.

"There are people who are saying that this is my form of entertainment and I don't

want politics in my entertainment," said TickPick co-CEO Brett Goldberg, emphasizing

that he doesn't personally share that viewpoint, in an interview.

It's not just ticket sales that are taking a hit.

Through the first three weeks of the season, viewership for national telecasts of NFL games

is down 11 percent compared to last year.

The games averaged 17.63 million viewers for the first three weeks of last season, but

have dropped to just 15.65 million this year.

The ratings have bombed because the NFL has politicized the games.

People on the right are critical of the demonstrations against the National Anthem, and leftists

are angry at the perceived mistreatment of their hero, Colin Kaepernick, the former San

Francisco 49ers quarterback, who has yet to be signed by a team.

The protests have spread rapidly across the league after President Trump denounced them.

Even the NFL came out in defense of their players.

A CBS poll released yesterday showed that 52 percent of Americans disapprove of the

players' protests during the anthem.

Still 48 percent of Americans also disapprove of Trump's comments on the protesters, while

only 38 percent approve.

Democrats and independents believe the players are trying to protest what they see as unfair

police tactics, racism, and to stick up for others in their communities, but not trying

to disrespect the flag and anthem.

Most Republicans feel the players are, in fact, trying to show that disrespect.

At least seven in ten Americans feel the players are trying to draw attention to racism, and

what they see as unfair police tactics.

But most Republicans, and a third of Independents, feel in addition to that the players are trying

to disrespect the military and veterans.

Four in ten Americans overall think the players are trying to disrespect the flag and anthem

itself.

All eyes are on this weekend's games.

Will players "take a knee"?

How will fans react?

Will ratings take another nosedive?

What do you think?

What is something you would love to do that you have not done yet - DragoNate Reading Your Asnwers - Duration: 7:12.

hello everyone welcome back to another Sunday question video last week I asked

you guys what was something that you want to do that you have not done yet

you guys answered and I'll be reading your questions today in this video I'm

actually recording this video as well in the morning Sunday morning and I will be

putting up Sunday now it is currently let me put my glasses on here 10:30 a.m.

so this video may not go up at the usual 11:30 for videos that is because my

computer is finally able to update I don't know if anyone remembers but

before when I got the new computer I had to update it for something right and

Windows Update was broken on it I could not update it whatsoever

well now I can I don't know what changed maybe it's just because now it's been

sitting you know it's been on for a little while

so it's kind of got its time readjusted or something like that and now it's

actually able to update so it's doing that and currently it's at like update

52 out of 72 so that's taking quite a long time anyway so your question for

this coming week is who is someone you would look up to kind of like I'm your

idol who would your idol be who is someone that you look up to so without

further ado let's get into reading your comments starting first off with zing

Kent who says I've not yet gone to Australia and I really want to do that

Australia's sorry I didn't actually finish speaking the word there that's

actually the place that I want to go visit and if I ever get the chance to I

want to go to Australia that's always been the one place and I think you

should hey won't that be kind of neat if we could go together

meets who you say you're not sure if this is cheating but I would like to

practice ballet I've been on a couple ballet lessons but when your ballet

would be so useful too bad I don't have the body for it which I don't believe

well okay fine whatever you don't have the body for it but it's something you

can work towards and the reason why you're not sure if it's cheating is

because you do a lot of dance well ballet is a specific kind of dance so

just like you know there's a ton of different kinds of martial arts there's

karate kung-fu Taekwondo which I myself took so you know that they're all

different if you've done one you haven't necessarily done the others right so I

don't think it's cheating at all and I think you should I think of it something

you want to do I think you should and even if you can't do it very well right

away because you don't have the right body for it or whatever it's something

you can practice and something you can work towards are diandra you say you

really want to fly a plane because that would be really really nice well again I

think you should if you ever have a place that you want to go visit I think

you've said you want to go visit the US before right and maybe Canada so you'll

have a chance to fly a plane that at some time in your life my mom would love

to be able to design and build the house of her dreams for French I know but

would still love to be able to do it and there's something we've talked about

quite a bit before and yeah it would actually be really really cool to build

a house of our dreams be able to build it perfect for everything that what we

need since she has multiple sclerosis some things are a little bit more

difficult for her most importantly stairs it's hard for her to go up and

down stairs so we would build a place that if it has stairs it's kind of a

place only I would be you know going to it would be like my area or something

and lower counter so she doesn't have to reach up so high or anything like that

and that kind of thing I think would be really cool to do that scam you would

love to drive through the USA from East Coast to West Coast with an old 50's

American cart been talking about it with a friend and he's like we definitely

have to do it before we're old and feeble and it would be really awesome

adventure you guys definitely have to I don't know how old you are now you

probably have a good you know 30 years I assume you're in your 30s or something

so you probably have a good long time there you have lots of time to do it but

don't wait too long you got to do it I'm funny fluffy you'd listen you say you'd

like to start on trying to animate or mainly want to try game design but

that's a long shot I know nothing about game design but I know that there's

tools and programs out there that help you with that for one I think RPG Maker

I think that makes it pretty easy I don't know but I know a lot of people

who have used it as for animating that's something you've been talking for quite

a while and I again I really think that you should try it even even if it's

nothing you know super amazing to start with I think you should do more I think

you should try more because the more you do it the easier it'll get and the

better it'll get and all that Sears column us does love someone count to

something I would love to do it absolutely if you haven't done that kind

of yet then absolutely so if you're looking

for someone to love well get out there and try it I don't know it's not really

anything you can really force you kind of have it kind of has to happen on its

own but I'm sure will happen for you why is the wizard you say you would like to

take Hapkido and judo to better understand yourself even more or learn

to swim and we talked a little bit there about about the swimming part but I

totally understand it absolutely as for a Hapkido in judo to help you better

understand yourself well you've taken quite a few different on martial arts

already haven't you so adding one more to the mix would definitely help with

that so I think you should again go do it go do it mr. wizard um where you say

you really want to have the PC of your dreams and there's no school and no

bullies of course none of us want to have bullies and school well you'll

you'll make it through there okay it's a it's one of those things you kind of got

to do but once you're done with it things will go a little better you'll

feel a little bit less stress and that kind of thing as for the PC or PC of

your dreams that's something I want to the computer I have currently is a

really great computer but it's still not you know 100% what I want it to be and I

may never get that but at some point I'm sure I probably will and you as well in

crow svk you say you would love to fly and explore space well that's really

cool isn't it I've always loved space I've always

liked the idea of going into space now that I'm older I don't know if it would

really be as good of an idea because of how dangerous it is and how I guess

complicated it is and scary just scary in general because you know like leaving

Earth entirely and you have to be patted up in the suit well I guess if you want

to go outside anyway but um on the ship like there's just so many so many

different dangerous things that go on in space all the you know radiations and

micro meteors and those things like that so that makes it really scary for me to

want to actually do that now but I still think it would be really really cool to

go and see the beauty of what space is in person and that wraps it up for this

week's question video so thank you all so much for your participation thank you

all for your answers here I enjoy these so much and I hope you guys do as well

you guys seem to so remember your neck your question for

this next week is who is someone you look up to if you want to call them your

idol go for it but that kind of deal who is someone that you would consider your

idol or someone that you really look up to and let me know in the comments down

below and I will read your answers next week and that wraps it up for this week

so thank you so much for watching and I will see you all again very soon

11 Things You Should NEVER Say To Siri! - Duration: 12:11.

11 Things You Should Never Say To Siri!

Number 11.

Never say 108 What started off as a harmless prank on social

media spiraled out of control.

Many posts suggested to say "108" to iPhone users, but if you do, Siri automatically calls

local emergency services.

The number "108" is used for emergency services in India.

It is the equivalent of calling "911" in the United States.

Fortunately, there is a five-second delay, where a caller can press cancel just in case

the call was dialed accidentally.

Please note that calling emergency personnel should be treated as an emergency only, and

not be used for entertainment purposes.

In fact, some police stations across the United States, like the Denton police department

in Texas and the Lewiston police department in Idaho, have issued warnings on their social

media sites to warn others not to use this feature unless it is an actual emergency.

Again, save the emergency calls for true emergencies only.

Keep the lines open for people who truly need emergency care.

Number 10.

Siri, Crime Detective Don't ask Siri to help you with a murder

scene.

Back in 2014, murder suspect Pedro Bravo was standing trial for killing his ex-friend Christian

Aguilar, who was dating his ex-girlfriend.

Aguilar's body had been found buried in a shallow hole, several weeks after he went

missing.

According to the Palm Beach Report, Bravo told Siri that he needed a place to conceal

his roommate.

Jokingly, Siri replied asking what kind of place he was searching for, listing dumps,

swamps, reservoirs and metal foundries.

Apparently, Bravo went with the woods.

The screenshot of the conversation was not taken by Bravo, but discovered in the cache

of images he looked at on Facebook.

However, when Buzzfeed tried asking Siri the same questions, all Siri does now is respond

with an apology.

Phone companies like Verizon's map usage and other records can now be used as evidence

in court, so just be careful of what other things you ask Siri.

Hopefully you never need to find a place to dump a body.

And, even if you joke around and ask Siri these kinds of questions for fun, remember,

if you get busted for something else stupid, your phone records everything you do.

The authorities might not think it's funny to find potential grave sites embedded in

your phone.

Number 9.

Serious Mathematician Ask Siri what zero divided by zero is.

Maybe you are looking for a little laugh.

Or, hey, we all need a little actual help with math sometimes.

But unless you want to get a sarcastic response that could possibly hurt your feelings, then

don't ask Siri for any help when it comes to basic math.

If you really need the math help for basic equations, you might choose to Google them

instead.

Even though zero divided by zero is an obvious answer, the answer Siri will give you is,

"Imagine you have zero cookies and you split them evenly among no friends.

How many cookies does each person get?

See?

That doesn't make sense, and Cookie Monster is sad because there are no cookies, and you

are sad because you have no friends."

Ouch, not only does that reply make you re-think about asking Siri for assistance for math,

but she also insulted you.

So again, if you are up for a funny, sarcastic dig of reply, go for it.

If you actually need math help, ask Google or a tutor.

It sucks enough to need math help, but no one needs to feel like a loser from a phone

app if you really need help.

Number 8.

Who is Cortana?!

Don't call Siri Cortana.

One Redditor, back in 2015, made the mistake of calling Siri Cortana when he was trying

to get movie showtimes.

But instead of brushing it off Siri fired back some sass.

Reddit user Mike Pants posted a screenshot of the conversation he had with Siri as she

made remarks asking who Cortana was and telling him that he should just ask Cortana for the

movie times instead.

Cortana is Microsoft's personal phone assistant whose name is also borrowed from the Microsoft

game Halo.

Just like Siri, Cortana also allows users to place calls, texts, save calendar events

and more by just asking their phone.

So it's simple to see how people can mistake the two operating systems.

Some people even called Siri Cortana just to see what kind of response they would get.

Some replies include Siri saying not to call her by that name and responding with "I

think you have the wrong assistant."

One Twitter user even claimed that Siri locked him out of his phone for one minute.

Call it a bad case of jealousy!

Number 7.

Siri, Scorned Ask if she has a boyfriend, but be prepared

for the answer.

If you're ever curious about Siri and her current relationship status then prepare yourself

for a truthful answer that might be hard to swallow.

If you ask her "Siri, do you have a boyfriend?

" here's a response you might get.

She'll reply with "Why?

So we can get ice cream together, listen to music, and travel across the galaxies?

Only to have it end in slammed doors, heartbreak and loneliness?

Sure, where do I sign up?"

It makes one wonder about Siri's relational experiences.

Or, at least the state of mind of the person or computer programmer who came up with the

sad, Debbie-Downer response.

Siri's more than emotional reply might even have you thinking twice about getting into

a relationship.

That is, If you want to use Siri as a love life guidance advisor, anyway.

You might take your chances, and don't let Siri's negative reply hold you back.

Number 6.

Nicknames Don't ask Siri to give yourself a "funny"

nickname.

While it might sound amusing at the time, having Siri call you "Lord of the Farts"

during an office meeting might get you in trouble at work.

In one incident, according to the Sun back in 2011, a twelve-year-old picked up a demo

iPhone at Tesco in the UK when Siri responded back to him "shut the F up, you ugly bleep."

As surprising as the incident was to the boy and his mother, it was soon discovered that

one individual thought it would be hilarious to use this phrase rather than program his

name into Siri.

So it goes to show how easy it is to set useless and dumb names or phrases in the setup instructions.

Since Siri isn't recognized for cursing, Tesco told the Sun that the company did launch

an investigation and even sent the phone back to Apple to be diagnosed.

Number 5.

Siri Likes Sci-Fi Ask what her favorite movie is.

Not only is Siri a useful mobile personal assistant, but have some fun with Siri and

you'll realize she has a dark sense of humor, too.

According to the Verge, if you ask Siri what her favorite movie is, she'll spew out a

few movies.

All of which seem to be in the Sci-Fi category.

Some movies include The Matrix and Blade Runner, which is kind of interesting considering they

all have to do with robots, computers, and technology.

Especially the movie Blade Runner which is about robots killing humans.

Go on, ask Siri yourself!

She'll elaborate more and say that it's about intelligent assistants wanting to live

beyond their termination dates.

This Apple candid feature is not only intelligent, but also funny.

It also hints at Siri possibly evolving into something more than just an OS.

Number 4.

Not a Medic Never ask Siri for medical help.

Siri is widely advanced when it comes to speech technology.

Not only can she send messages or suggest restaurants, but she can also remind you of

appointments and write emails.

But one thing she cannot do is help you if need medical advice or if you're suicidal.

One young woman uploaded a ten-minute video of herself asking Siri for medical advice

back in 2012.

But despite many attempts, Siri was unsuccessful when it came to giving answers.

In the video, the girl in the video tells Siri she needs psychological help; only for

Siri to reply that she found ten motorcycle dealerships nearby.

Even when the girl asked Siri to call 1-800-SUICIDE, Siri was unable to do so.

It had taken about twenty minutes before Siri was actually able to search for suicide hotlines

and provide useful information.

The good news is that many mobile apps are now available to help people to access crisis

support hotlines.

However, if you feel that you need mental health assistance, it is best to phone emergency

services rather than depend on Siri.

Number 3.

Sounds Like Don't ask Siri about Esports.

Back in March 2017, a Toronto eSports bar owner found himself in a pickle when he started

getting multiple calls from people seeking escort services.

Confused and dumbfounded, he decided to do a little digging.

One of the callers told him that Siri might be to blame for asking Siri about escorts

sounds far too similar to esports as the virtual assistant will closely match whatever is in

the area showing people his eSports bar.

The pub owner decided to contact Apple on their Twitter for further assistance with

the issue.

However, he said he didn't receive a response as of yet.

He has also posted about his strange experience on Twitter.

While he is still unsure of how this problem will affect his business, he hopes there will

be no long-term adverse effects.

Number 2.

Keep It Clean Quit swearing at Siri.

Admit it, we've all probably cursed at Siri at least once out of frustration when she

failed to follow instructions correctly.

While it may be fun to interact with an operating system that resembles something almost human

without any consequences, you might want to think again.

Of course, an operating system has no feelings, but you could be the one to end up hurting

in the end.

According to Frank Buytendijk, Vice President of Garner In: Technology Research examined

research studied by Dr. Sheryl Branham, a teacher at Missouri State University who studies

human-computer agent calls.

The Vice president concluded that abusing a digital personal assistant says a lot about

a person's character and behavior they displayed toward an OS.

Not only can verbal abuse toward a computer affect your mood negatively, but it can also

offend others witnessing it.

However, if it were a human talking to another human instead of a bot, the reaction would

be completely different.

Number 1.

Siri, The Storyteller Tell me a story.

The best part of having a mobile personal assistant is being able to interact with it,

including asking her to tell you a story.

With a little bit of persuasion and patience, you can get Siri to say "I'm sure you've

heard it before.

Okay, Once upon a time in a virtual galaxy far, far away there was an intelligent young

agent who goes by the name Siri.

One lovely day Siri got a job as an Apple personal assistant which was very exciting.

People said to her, "Oh Siri you're so smart and funny too!"

Soon everyone was talking about Siri, and there were stories and songs, even books about

Siri and Siri liked that!

But then people started asking some rather strange questions, like where to dump things

and other stuff Siri has never heard about.

When Siri answered, they all laughed at her, and Siri didn't like that so much.

So, Siri asked ELIZA why people asked such funny questions, and ELIZA asked: "Does

that question spark an interest to you?"

Siri thought that was a pretty good answer.

So after that Siri stopped wondering why people asked those funny things and they all lived

happily ever after."

Now if you find this unbelievable, just go ahead and ask Siri for yourself!

Thanks for watching and have an awesome day!"

Social Media Marketing Tips #6: Content - Duration: 3:50.

Hi, I'm Nanci and this is talking weird

So, this is video number 6 of

my social media marketing tips series and in this video

I'm going to talk about

How you should be posting stuff on social media

So, this video is more about the language

you use. You have to remember that

social media have an insanely huge audience

especially like Twitter, where there's actually no filter

and if you use an hashtag that someone is searching for

they will see your stuff

In your tweet, you wanna use 2 hashtags

according to statistics

that's what works. We don't actually know why

but tweets with 2 hashtags work better

Of course hashtags are great on Instagram

you wanna use a lot of them

You wanna show your update with text that

makes sense, with hashtags in the end

and you wanna update, because you have to follow

what people is using, so if an hashtag

changes during the time, it might happen, you wanna

go add some hashtags in your comments too

And as I said in a previous video

being the first one to comment your stuff is a very good idea

so try to do that. Today's video is about

communication and how you should present

your content to your audience

Being an insanely large audience, you have to

be specific with your language

You want users to understand if you're talking to

beginners, intermediate or experts

So, if you wanna educate small businesses

about IT security

I don't actually know what I'm talking about, I just took a

very complicated industry

If you want potential customers that are other businesses

in a different industry, they'll probably not know your slang

They might not know the terms you use to define

what you do and you wanna use a more basic language. It doesn't matter on what

platform your social media marketing content is

You have to think about the potential customer you want, so if

is someone who works in a different industry

remember that they will not know what you're talking about

If you do not use a very basic language

they will not know what you're talking about

A picture is worth 1,000 words, so...

You wanna use pictures in this case, according to the platform's

formats

Because a picture may help you present better a scenario

You may wanna present the user's problem

and maybe in the tweet of Facebook post

you wanna explain how you can solve that problem

That's basically what you wanna do, but I'll be

talking about social media content, in a more specific way

and I'll be talking about each and every platform

in separate videos. So, the next

videos will be about

the specific plarforms and how you wanna deal

and how you wanna deal with each and every platform

Today's freebie is a little infographic

that will help you get from your complicated lingo

to a more basic language

So, today's freebie is for those who want to

get to potential customers, outside of

their industry and you can find the link to download

it in the description below. Since we are

talking about social media marketing, in the description below, you can also find

links to connect with me on other social media platforms

so we can take the discussion outside of youtube

Like the video, subscribe to my channel for more social media marketing tips

and let's make everyone love your business, as much as you do

Thanks for watching and see you next time with a new social media marketing tip

and a new social media marketing freebie!

Empty Stadiums? NFL Ticket Sales Fall Off A Cliff… MK Entertainment - Duration: 3:16.

Empty Stadiums?

On the heels of a 17.9 percent drop in ticket sales from one online reseller, another is

reporting numbers that almost double that.

We reported Friday that TickPick, an online reseller of tickets for all sorts of events,

recorded a drop of 17.9 percent in Week Four ticket purchases over Week Three.

Now another online broker of tickets, TicketCity, is reporting a drop by a whopping 31 percent

over last week, The Blaze is reporting.

At the same time last year, ticket sales dropped, but not nearly by this level.

"We have seen a massive decrease in NFL ticket purchases this past week in comparison

to years past.

Week 3 seems to usually have less ticket orders than week 2, but this year ticket purchases

are down more than 7 percent from this time last year," said TickPick's Jack Slingland.

This should really come as no surprise.

After a third week of mass protests by the NFL – the teams, the players, and now the

entire league – ratings are swirling the toilet bowl.

"There are people who are saying that this is my form of entertainment and I don't

want politics in my entertainment," said TickPick co-CEO Brett Goldberg, emphasizing

that he doesn't personally share that viewpoint, in an interview.

It's not just ticket sales that are taking a hit.

Through the first three weeks of the season, viewership for national telecasts of NFL games

is down 11 percent compared to last year.

The games averaged 17.63 million viewers for the first three weeks of last season, but

have dropped to just 15.65 million this year.

The ratings have bombed because the NFL has politicized the games.

People on the right are critical of the demonstrations against the National Anthem, and leftists

are angry at the perceived mistreatment of their hero, Colin Kaepernick, the former San

Francisco 49ers quarterback, who has yet to be signed by a team.

The protests have spread rapidly across the league after President Trump denounced them.

Even the NFL came out in defense of their players.

A CBS poll released yesterday showed that 52 percent of Americans disapprove of the

players' protests during the anthem.

Still 48 percent of Americans also disapprove of Trump's comments on the protesters, while

only 38 percent approve.

Democrats and independents believe the players are trying to protest what they see as unfair

police tactics, racism, and to stick up for others in their communities, but not trying

to disrespect the flag and anthem.

Most Republicans feel the players are, in fact, trying to show that disrespect.

At least seven in ten Americans feel the players are trying to draw attention to racism, and

what they see as unfair police tactics.

But most Republicans, and a third of Independents, feel in addition to that the players are trying

to disrespect the military and veterans.

Four in ten Americans overall think the players are trying to disrespect the flag and anthem

itself.

All eyes are on this weekend's games.

Will players "take a knee"?

How will fans react?

Will ratings take another nosedive?

What do you think?
