Hey Geeks, it's Andrea and today we are going to take a look inside the life of one
radiant woman.
Geeks of History
With the partition of Poland at the end of the 18th century, its lands were distributed
among Russia, Austria and Prussia.The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ceased to exist as an independent
nation.
At the turn of the century, Napoleon gained power in France and turned his sights outward.
This naturally made Europe nervous and helped France's long standing rival, Great Britain,
gather allies against France once more.
This became the War of the Fourth Coalition.
You would think fourth time's the charm, right?
Eh, not so much.
Napoleon claimed victory once again in 1807, and in doing so gained nearly half of Prussian
territories with the help of Poland.
This included Warsaw, or Warszawa, which he made into an independent state, the Duchy
of Warsaw.
Lead by his ally, of course.
Even though Russia technically lost in the war too, they were late to the party and were
left mostly unscathed.
Because of this, they never joined Napoleon's trade blockade towards Great Britain, so in
an attempt to force them to join, Napoleon marched towards Russia again.
Of course, the official reason given was much more noble than that.
They were pegging it as an effort to protect Polish lands from Russian influence.
So, this created some hope of a fully reunified Poland.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be the infamous land war against Russia that Napoleon lost.
The Russian lands are vast and the campaign stretched into the winter.
The French army had to play whack-a-mole as the Russians kept retreating further and further,
bleeding the invading army slowly.
Once Napoleon finally retreated, his army was in shambles.
Russia pushed back and took the Duchy of Warsaw for itself.
Once again, Poland was under external rule.
Russian was made the official state language to be taught in schools, pushing Polish into
the background.
After failed uprisings in 1831 and 1864, Russification intensified, going so far as to even ban the
use of Polish in public places in 1864.
And in this tumultuous time, on November 7th, 1867 Maria Sklodowska was born, the fifth
child in a family of Polish nationals, patriots of a nation that hadn't existed for over
70 years.
Her parents had lost a lot due to their families' involvement in the failed uprisings, but that
didn't keep them from raising Maria with the same sense of patriotism.
Both of Maria's parents were teachers, her father an instructor of mathematics and physics.
This instilled a curiosity and the thirst for knowledge in her at an early age.
After Russian authorities eliminated lab work from Polish schools, Maria's father brought
his lab equipment home and taught his children how to use it.
Once she was old enough, Miss Sklodowska had her eyes set on university with a dream of
becoming a scientist.
The only problem was, she was not allowed to attend the all-male University of Warsaw.
Luckily for her, Warsaw had a secret "Flying University."
Sadly this doesn't mean the university defies gravity, but it did something equally amazing.
Polish professors secretly offered classes in their homes to Polish women, who otherwise
were not allowed into college.
These night classes changed locations to keep their chances of getting caught by the czar's
police as low as possible.
She learned everything she possibly could from the underground university, but Maria
and her sister Bronya dreamed of more.
Their dream was to travel abroad to earn their official degrees.
This naturally carried a hefty cost, so they came to an agreement.
Maria would first work to send money to Bronya while she achieved her degree and afterwards,
Bronya would support Maria through hers.
Maria was hired by an owner of a beet-sugar factory as a governess to educate his children,
but was able to do so much more than just educate his children.
During some of her free time, he allowed her to teach the children of his workers how to
read.
Today this sounds like a very simple thing, but if the Russian authorities had found out
that she was teaching poor Polish children how to read, she could have faced severe punishment.
When she wasn't educating the Polish youth and had some free time, she studied books
on chemistry, math, and physics.
Inspired by Maria's efforts with the children, a chemist at the beet-sugar factory gave her
lessons in secret.
Russian authorities had forbidden Polish people to teach sciences, so he was taking a great
personal risk.
After the first three years of Bronya's education, Maria's father became financially
stable enough to send money to Bronya in Paris every month.
This relieved a heavy burden from Maria's shoulders and allowed her to spend more time
studying.
Although she still continued to work as a governess and tutor children, she also studied
chemistry in secret at a Museum.
This museum was a front to a lab used to educate and train Polish scientists.
After several years and hard work, her dreams finally came true in 1891, when she finally
made it to Paris.
As soon as she arrived, she dove right in and enrolled at the Sorbonne University.
Marie devoted all of her free time to her studies.
After paying for her tuition, she had just enough money to rent a small room in an attic
that was freezing during winter and scorching during summer.
During winters, she couldn't afford to heat the room, so she wore all of her clothes to
keep warm.
Her diet consisted solely of buttered bread and tea.
Being so engrossed in her studies, she often forgot to eat entirely.
Despite all of this, she was ecstatic to be studying under some of the world's greatest
scientists of the time.
Coming from Poland, where she couldn't get an official education, her classmates were
better prepared initially.
Not many people are as determined and driven as Miss Marie Sklodowska though.
She completed two master's degrees, one in math and one in physics, in just three
years.
Marie did such an amazing job in her studies that she even earned a scholarship for her
doctorate.
After receiving her masters in 1894, she was commissioned to investigate the magnetic properties
of different steels.
So, naturally she had to find a lab to work in.
Marie was introduced to French physicist Pierre Curie by a colleague because he just so happened
to have a lab that she could use.
You would think that a man with the title Laboratory Chief at the Paris Municipal School
of Industrial Physics and Chemistry would have an amazing state of the art lab, but
you would be wrong.
His lab was less than modest, but it was a lab that she could work in.
It also had the added bonus of containing one Mister Curie.
The relationship between these two great minds began to grow.
On July 26, 1895, the couple married.
After giving birth to their first daughter in 1897, Marie set out to do something no
woman had done before.
She wanted to get a doctorate in science.
When trying to decide what to dedicate her research to, she landed on continuing work
done by a German physicist a couple years prior.
Wilhelm Roentgen had discovered rays that could travel through both solid wood and flesh.
A few months after he discovered this, a French physicist by the name of Henri Becquerel further
added to his research.
Discovering that minerals containing uranium also gave off these rays.
Scientists really took to the concept of Roentgen's X-rays, but didn't pay too much attention
to Becquerel's.
Simply because they saw it as a weaker version of what Roentgen already discovered.
This didn't hold Marie back, though.
Marie became determined to study uranium rays further.
Almost nothing was known on the subject, so she was paving new ground.
She began her work in a storage room at the school that Pierre was a professor at, the
Paris Municipal School.
It wasn't quite the lab she needed, but she always made due with what she had.
She made many discoveries quickly.
Science begins and ends with measurements, so first she had to find a way to measure
these rays.
Roentgen and Becquerel before her had used photosensitive plates to obtain images, but
there was no good way to quantify the results for different samples since they were for
all intents and purposes, pictures.
Instead, Marie used a version of the electrometer developed by Pierre and his brother 15 years
prior.
She found that the air exposed to uranium rays became electrically charged, which the
instrument could pick up and quantify.
She quickly confirmed Becquerel's findings that the rays were constant no matter if the
uranium was solid, pulverized, wet or dry, or exposed to light or heat.
Like the French scientist before her, in compounds she saw that the more uranium there was in
the compound, the stronger the rays became.
The only factor was the amount of uranium present.
Her big breakthrough came when she hypothesized that the rays were a property of the uranium
atom itself.
This was a groundbreaking idea at the time.
The word atom comes from Greece and it means undividable.
At that time, scientists didn't know about elementary particles.
To them, atoms were the smallest units of matter.
How could the atom itself emit anything if it was unable to divide?
Even Marie and Pierre were not fully convinced by their own hypothesis with alternative thoughts
in mind.
Like what if the Earth was bathed in cosmic rays that some atoms could absorb and then
later emit as radiation?
Marie started testing the conductivity of air around all the known elements that she
could get her hands on.
Many chemists came to her aid, donating elements from their supplies.
By April 1898 she had only found one other element with such a property – thorium.
She could only conclude that her hypothesis had been true, that the rays were a property
of the uranium and thorium atoms.
She dubbed this property radioactivity.
Soon after, she discovered that the mineral pitchblende, which contains a lot of uranium,
was giving off more radioactivity than the uranium inside of it could be emitting and
there was no thorium present to account for it either.
So she logically came to the conclusion that pitchblende had to contain another element
even more radioactive than either uranium or thorium.
A completely unknown element.
Pierre was so excited that she was discovering a whole new element all together, so he dropped
the study he was doing on crystals and began to work side by side with his wife.
With the Curie couple working together, they could isolate this new element faster.
Pitchblende is now better known as uraninite.
It is packed full of uranium goodness, but can also contain many other chemical elements,
so it made discovering exactly which element was causing this radioactivity a difficult
task.
Difficult, but not impossible.
The Curies discovered that there were actually two previously unknown elements within the
chunk of pitchblende.
One that they named polonium after her homeland of Poland and another that they named radium,
which is the Latin word for ray.
In order to prove their discovery to their peers, they needed to produce more polonium
and radium.
That just wasn't going to happen working in a tiny storage room, so they began to work
in an abandoned shed.
Once they were able to share their discoveries, scientists were fascinated by radium.
The radium gave off heat and light and even damaged human flesh with a long exposure.
Even if all you knew about radiation before this point was from playing Fallout, you probably
know radiation to be a dangerous thing.
We know this today, but at the time Marie never believed that radiation was harmful.
The signs were there in her own health, but she was too close to see it and perhaps maybe
a bit unwilling to believe.
The Curies were given a better lab and they worked hard extracting the radioactive materials
for potential medical uses, but there were other products as well.
They had glow in the dark paint, watches, and more.
While their hard work lined the pockets of those providing them a lab, they were not
personally growing wealthy.
They both had to take more teaching jobs to help pay their bills.
In 1903, after giving her doctoral thesis on radioactivity, Marie Curie became the first
woman to receive a doctorate in France.
Not only did she become the first woman to get a doctorate in France.
In that same year she also became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for this work.
Alongside her husband, Pierre, and Henri Becquerel, of course.
This landed them fame, their place in history, and the ability to pay their bills.
Pierre was promoted at the Sorbonne and Marie was even hired at the school as laboratory
chief.
On April 19th, 1906, tragedy fell on the Curie family.
One morning when walking from the lab to the library, Pierre slipped on a wet street and
fell in front of a horse-drawn wagon.
The wheel crushed his head and he died instantly.
Marie was crushed by her grief and was now left to raise her children alone.
Through her pain, she knew she had to continue to do her research, so she went back to work
the day after Pierre's funeral.
Soon after, the Sorbonne gave her the opportunity to be its first female professor.
This meant taking Pierre's former position.
Over the next several years, she continued to work on radioactivity.
She even opened a Radium Institute and headed a laboratory dedicated to radioactivity.
In 1911, one of Pierre's top students, Paul Langevin, had fallen in love with Marie.
Although he was unhappy in his marriage for reasons that didn't involve her, the press
accused her of being a homewrecker.
Newspapers released offensive articles about her as a foreigner breaking up a marriage
and she even once had a mob in front of her house when returning home with her two young
daughters.
Through all of this, she continued to work hard and in the same year became the first
person to win a second Nobel Prize.
This time in Chemistry for discovering radium and polonium.
Although she was given this award alone, she also accepted it on behalf of her late-husband
when giving her acceptance speech in Sweden.
After returning from Sweden, she began to have kidney problems and fell into a deep
depression.
She didn't return to work again until late 1912.
At this point she dedicated her life to the Radium Institute.
After the institute was completed in 1914, many things changed.
In August, Germany invaded France.
Naturally, almost all of her staff enlisted to help aid France in the war.
Although this put a halt to the research, Marie found a way for her research to help
soldiers.
X-rays could easily be used to help save lives.
If a field doctor had access to them, they could find bullets and other shrapnel or even
just get an image of broken bones to see what they are working with.
That lead to an issue though, how could they get the x-ray machines to the front lines
where they needed to be?
Marie convinced wealthy people to donate cars so they could turn them into mobile x-ray
stations.
She was able to deploy 20 mobile x-ray machines that were referred to as "Little Curies,"
as well as 200 stationary ones.
Marie and her teenage daughter Irene worked for over a year in x-ray stations.
During this time, she developed another way for radioactivity to aid in healing.
They prepared tiny glass tubes with radon, a radioactive gas, at the Radium Institute.
Doctors would then insert these tubes into patients in locations with diseased tissue,
so the tissue would then be destroyed.
For the rest of Marie's life, she continued to do research on radioactivity, but most
of her focus was dedicated to the Radium institute.
Marie Curie died on July 4th, 1934 of aplastic anemia.
This is a blood disease caused by prolonged exposure to radiation.
Marie was known to carry test tubes of radium around in the pocket of her lab coat and obviously
worked with radioactive materials for many years.
After her death, she was buried next to Pierre.
In 1995, decades after her death, Marie and Pierre Curie's remains were interred into
the Panthéon in Paris.
The Panthéon is the final resting place of many of France's greatest minds.
Marie was the first woman to be laid to rest there.
There are at least 86 people there today, although some only symbolically.
As of today, there are only 4 woman entombed.
Although she had passed away many years prior, Marie still became a trailblazer for women
one last time.

Chat with the Chancellor - Dec. 15, 2018 - Duration: 3:17.
[Intro Music]
I am Dr. Bruce Leslie the Chancellor of the Alamo Colleges.
Tonight is the first night of Hannukah and of course, we're well into entire Christmas
and holiday season so on behalf on the entire Alamo Colleges family, we wish you a wonderful
holiday and a joyous new year.
I'm standing in front of the Ray Ellison Family Center at Palo Alto College to acknowledge
a new grant that I'll talk about in a second, but before I do that I wanted to mention our
holiday e-cards . We, each year, we've been doing this for about ten years now, we have
a competition for students to submit electronic holiday cards with a different theme every
year and the top three winners receive an Alamo Colleges District scholarship.
We love this exercise.
Students have a great time with it and of course, this is what we send out to the community
and all of our friends and partners to celebrate the holiday season.
So, congratulations to Jeanette Serrano-Mendoza, Brad Villa and Karla De La Cruz for their
festive E-Cards to wish our community a happy holiday season.
You go on to our YouTube site and look at each of the three cards and I want to congratulate
the other students who submitted their candidations as well.
We love going through all the cards and selecting the ones we want to show off, but they're
all so much fun, and I know the students have a great time.
And of course, our faculty help support the students in this exercise.
Palo Alto College received a child care grant.
It's a half-million dollar project awarded to the college from the U.S. Department of
Education's Child Care Access Means Parents In School or CCAMPIS Program.
This will help twenty limited-income student parents to become a parent scholar for the
daycare program so that they have one less issue to worry about at Palo Alto College
as they're completing their degrees and certificates.
So, congratulations to the team at PAC for submitting this winning proposal.
And also, tonight is the, excuse me, Friday is the annual graduation for St. Philip's
College.
St. Philip's, as you know, is the only college in our district that has a December graduation.
About 650 students will be graduating the end of the semester, which is a little bit
more than last year which is also a good thing.
And also, the San Antonio Police Department which is one of the nation's largest police
departments is holding their graduation at the Watson Fine Arts Center at St. Philip's
College as well, so we'll be having these two graduations going on this week.
Again thank you for joining the Chancellor's Video Blog.
Have a wonderful holiday season.
God Bless.

The Life of Marie Curie - Geeks of History #1 - Duration: 16:02.
Hey Geeks, it's Andrea and today we are going to take a look inside the life of one
radiant woman.
Geeks of History
With the partition of Poland at the end of the 18th century, its lands were distributed
among Russia, Austria and Prussia.The Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth ceased to exist as an independent
nation.
At the turn of the century, Napoleon gained power in France and turned his sights outward.
This naturally made Europe nervous and helped France's long standing rival, Great Britain,
gather allies against France once more.
This became the War of the Fourth Coalition.
You would think fourth time's the charm, right?
Eh, not so much.
Napoleon claimed victory once again in 1807, and in doing so gained nearly half of Prussian
territories with the help of Poland.
This included Warsaw, or Warszawa, which he made into an independent state, the Duchy
of Warsaw.
Lead by his ally, of course.
Even though Russia technically lost in the war too, they were late to the party and were
left mostly unscathed.
Because of this, they never joined Napoleon's trade blockade towards Great Britain, so in
an attempt to force them to join, Napoleon marched towards Russia again.
Of course, the official reason given was much more noble than that.
They were pegging it as an effort to protect Polish lands from Russian influence.
So, this created some hope of a fully reunified Poland.
Unfortunately, this turned out to be the infamous land war against Russia that Napoleon lost.
The Russian lands are vast and the campaign stretched into the winter.
The French army had to play whack-a-mole as the Russians kept retreating further and further,
bleeding the invading army slowly.
Once Napoleon finally retreated, his army was in shambles.
Russia pushed back and took the Duchy of Warsaw for itself.
Once again, Poland was under external rule.
Russian was made the official state language to be taught in schools, pushing Polish into
the background.
After failed uprisings in 1831 and 1864, Russification intensified, going so far as to even ban the
use of Polish in public places in 1864.
And in this tumultuous time, on November 7th, 1867 Maria Sklodowska was born, the fifth
child in a family of Polish nationals, patriots of a nation that hadn't existed for over
70 years.
Her parents had lost a lot due to their families' involvement in the failed uprisings, but that
didn't keep them from raising Maria with the same sense of patriotism.
Both of Maria's parents were teachers, her father an instructor of mathematics and physics.
This instilled a curiosity and the thirst for knowledge in her at an early age.
After Russian authorities eliminated lab work from Polish schools, Maria's father brought
his lab equipment home and taught his children how to use it.
Once she was old enough, Miss Sklodowska had her eyes set on university with a dream of
becoming a scientist.
The only problem was, she was not allowed to attend the all-male University of Warsaw.
Luckily for her, Warsaw had a secret "Flying University."
Sadly this doesn't mean the university defies gravity, but it did something equally amazing.
Polish professors secretly offered classes in their homes to Polish women, who otherwise
were not allowed into college.
These night classes changed locations to keep their chances of getting caught by the czar's
police as low as possible.
She learned everything she possibly could from the underground university, but Maria
and her sister Bronya dreamed of more.
Their dream was to travel abroad to earn their official degrees.
This naturally carried a hefty cost, so they came to an agreement.
Maria would first work to send money to Bronya while she achieved her degree and afterwards,
Bronya would support Maria through hers.
Maria was hired by an owner of a beet-sugar factory as a governess to educate his children,
but was able to do so much more than just educate his children.
During some of her free time, he allowed her to teach the children of his workers how to
read.
Today this sounds like a very simple thing, but if the Russian authorities had found out
that she was teaching poor Polish children how to read, she could have faced severe punishment.
When she wasn't educating the Polish youth and had some free time, she studied books
on chemistry, math, and physics.
Inspired by Maria's efforts with the children, a chemist at the beet-sugar factory gave her
lessons in secret.
Russian authorities had forbidden Polish people to teach sciences, so he was taking a great
personal risk.
After the first three years of Bronya's education, Maria's father became financially
stable enough to send money to Bronya in Paris every month.
This relieved a heavy burden from Maria's shoulders and allowed her to spend more time
studying.
Although she still continued to work as a governess and tutor children, she also studied
chemistry in secret at a Museum.
This museum was a front to a lab used to educate and train Polish scientists.
After several years and hard work, her dreams finally came true in 1891, when she finally
made it to Paris.
As soon as she arrived, she dove right in and enrolled at the Sorbonne University.
Marie devoted all of her free time to her studies.
After paying for her tuition, she had just enough money to rent a small room in an attic
that was freezing during winter and scorching during summer.
During winters, she couldn't afford to heat the room, so she wore all of her clothes to
keep warm.
Her diet consisted solely of buttered bread and tea.
Being so engrossed in her studies, she often forgot to eat entirely.
Despite all of this, she was ecstatic to be studying under some of the world's greatest
scientists of the time.
Coming from Poland, where she couldn't get an official education, her classmates were
better prepared initially.
Not many people are as determined and driven as Miss Marie Sklodowska though.
She completed two master's degrees, one in math and one in physics, in just three
years.
Marie did such an amazing job in her studies that she even earned a scholarship for her
doctorate.
After receiving her masters in 1894, she was commissioned to investigate the magnetic properties
of different steels.
So, naturally she had to find a lab to work in.
Marie was introduced to French physicist Pierre Curie by a colleague because he just so happened
to have a lab that she could use.
You would think that a man with the title Laboratory Chief at the Paris Municipal School
of Industrial Physics and Chemistry would have an amazing state of the art lab, but
you would be wrong.
His lab was less than modest, but it was a lab that she could work in.
It also had the added bonus of containing one Mister Curie.
The relationship between these two great minds began to grow.
On July 26, 1895, the couple married.
After giving birth to their first daughter in 1897, Marie set out to do something no
woman had done before.
She wanted to get a doctorate in science.
When trying to decide what to dedicate her research to, she landed on continuing work
done by a German physicist a couple years prior.
Wilhelm Roentgen had discovered rays that could travel through both solid wood and flesh.
A few months after he discovered this, a French physicist by the name of Henri Becquerel further
added to his research.
Discovering that minerals containing uranium also gave off these rays.
Scientists really took to the concept of Roentgen's X-rays, but didn't pay too much attention
to Becquerel's.
Simply because they saw it as a weaker version of what Roentgen already discovered.
This didn't hold Marie back, though.
Marie became determined to study uranium rays further.
Almost nothing was known on the subject, so she was paving new ground.
She began her work in a storage room at the school that Pierre was a professor at, the
Paris Municipal School.
It wasn't quite the lab she needed, but she always made due with what she had.
She made many discoveries quickly.
Science begins and ends with measurements, so first she had to find a way to measure
these rays.
Roentgen and Becquerel before her had used photosensitive plates to obtain images, but
there was no good way to quantify the results for different samples since they were for
all intents and purposes, pictures.
Instead, Marie used a version of the electrometer developed by Pierre and his brother 15 years
prior.
She found that the air exposed to uranium rays became electrically charged, which the
instrument could pick up and quantify.
She quickly confirmed Becquerel's findings that the rays were constant no matter if the
uranium was solid, pulverized, wet or dry, or exposed to light or heat.
Like the French scientist before her, in compounds she saw that the more uranium there was in
the compound, the stronger the rays became.
The only factor was the amount of uranium present.
Her big breakthrough came when she hypothesized that the rays were a property of the uranium
atom itself.
This was a groundbreaking idea at the time.
The word atom comes from Greece and it means undividable.
At that time, scientists didn't know about elementary particles.
To them, atoms were the smallest units of matter.
How could the atom itself emit anything if it was unable to divide?
Even Marie and Pierre were not fully convinced by their own hypothesis with alternative thoughts
in mind.
Like what if the Earth was bathed in cosmic rays that some atoms could absorb and then
later emit as radiation?
Marie started testing the conductivity of air around all the known elements that she
could get her hands on.
Many chemists came to her aid, donating elements from their supplies.
By April 1898 she had only found one other element with such a property – thorium.
She could only conclude that her hypothesis had been true, that the rays were a property
of the uranium and thorium atoms.
She dubbed this property radioactivity.
Soon after, she discovered that the mineral pitchblende, which contains a lot of uranium,
was giving off more radioactivity than the uranium inside of it could be emitting and
there was no thorium present to account for it either.
So she logically came to the conclusion that pitchblende had to contain another element
even more radioactive than either uranium or thorium.
A completely unknown element.
Pierre was so excited that she was discovering a whole new element all together, so he dropped
the study he was doing on crystals and began to work side by side with his wife.
With the Curie couple working together, they could isolate this new element faster.
Pitchblende is now better known as uraninite.
It is packed full of uranium goodness, but can also contain many other chemical elements,
so it made discovering exactly which element was causing this radioactivity a difficult
task.
Difficult, but not impossible.
The Curies discovered that there were actually two previously unknown elements within the
chunk of pitchblende.
One that they named polonium after her homeland of Poland and another that they named radium,
which is the Latin word for ray.
In order to prove their discovery to their peers, they needed to produce more polonium
and radium.
That just wasn't going to happen working in a tiny storage room, so they began to work
in an abandoned shed.
Once they were able to share their discoveries, scientists were fascinated by radium.
The radium gave off heat and light and even damaged human flesh with a long exposure.
Even if all you knew about radiation before this point was from playing Fallout, you probably
know radiation to be a dangerous thing.
We know this today, but at the time Marie never believed that radiation was harmful.
The signs were there in her own health, but she was too close to see it and perhaps maybe
a bit unwilling to believe.
The Curies were given a better lab and they worked hard extracting the radioactive materials
for potential medical uses, but there were other products as well.
They had glow in the dark paint, watches, and more.
While their hard work lined the pockets of those providing them a lab, they were not
personally growing wealthy.
They both had to take more teaching jobs to help pay their bills.
In 1903, after giving her doctoral thesis on radioactivity, Marie Curie became the first
woman to receive a doctorate in France.
Not only did she become the first woman to get a doctorate in France.
In that same year she also became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize for this work.
Alongside her husband, Pierre, and Henri Becquerel, of course.
This landed them fame, their place in history, and the ability to pay their bills.
Pierre was promoted at the Sorbonne and Marie was even hired at the school as laboratory
chief.
On April 19th, 1906, tragedy fell on the Curie family.
One morning when walking from the lab to the library, Pierre slipped on a wet street and
fell in front of a horse-drawn wagon.
The wheel crushed his head and he died instantly.
Marie was crushed by her grief and was now left to raise her children alone.
Through her pain, she knew she had to continue to do her research, so she went back to work
the day after Pierre's funeral.
Soon after, the Sorbonne gave her the opportunity to be its first female professor.
This meant taking Pierre's former position.
Over the next several years, she continued to work on radioactivity.
She even opened a Radium Institute and headed a laboratory dedicated to radioactivity.
In 1911, one of Pierre's top students, Paul Langevin, had fallen in love with Marie.
Although he was unhappy in his marriage for reasons that didn't involve her, the press
accused her of being a homewrecker.
Newspapers released offensive articles about her as a foreigner breaking up a marriage
and she even once had a mob in front of her house when returning home with her two young
daughters.
Through all of this, she continued to work hard and in the same year became the first
person to win a second Nobel Prize.
This time in Chemistry for discovering radium and polonium.
Although she was given this award alone, she also accepted it on behalf of her late-husband
when giving her acceptance speech in Sweden.
After returning from Sweden, she began to have kidney problems and fell into a deep
depression.
She didn't return to work again until late 1912.
At this point she dedicated her life to the Radium Institute.
After the institute was completed in 1914, many things changed.
In August, Germany invaded France.
Naturally, almost all of her staff enlisted to help aid France in the war.
Although this put a halt to the research, Marie found a way for her research to help
soldiers.
X-rays could easily be used to help save lives.
If a field doctor had access to them, they could find bullets and other shrapnel or even
just get an image of broken bones to see what they are working with.
That lead to an issue though, how could they get the x-ray machines to the front lines
where they needed to be?
Marie convinced wealthy people to donate cars so they could turn them into mobile x-ray
stations.
She was able to deploy 20 mobile x-ray machines that were referred to as "Little Curies,"
as well as 200 stationary ones.
Marie and her teenage daughter Irene worked for over a year in x-ray stations.
During this time, she developed another way for radioactivity to aid in healing.
They prepared tiny glass tubes with radon, a radioactive gas, at the Radium Institute.
Doctors would then insert these tubes into patients in locations with diseased tissue,
so the tissue would then be destroyed.
For the rest of Marie's life, she continued to do research on radioactivity, but most
of her focus was dedicated to the Radium institute.
Marie Curie died on July 4th, 1934 of aplastic anemia.
This is a blood disease caused by prolonged exposure to radiation.
Marie was known to carry test tubes of radium around in the pocket of her lab coat and obviously
worked with radioactive materials for many years.
After her death, she was buried next to Pierre.
In 1995, decades after her death, Marie and Pierre Curie's remains were interred into
the Panthéon in Paris.
The Panthéon is the final resting place of many of France's greatest minds.
Marie was the first woman to be laid to rest there.
There are at least 86 people there today, although some only symbolically.
As of today, there are only 4 woman entombed.
Although she had passed away many years prior, Marie still became a trailblazer for women
one last time.

We could live adventures in parallel universes !
We could swim in a violet ocean.
And if we arrive in a world where there is no air ?
Or on a battlefield ?
It's too dangerous, we don't know how it works.
If we stay here, we'll be happy.
What is holding you back ?
You don't have a job anymore.
Yes, but I kept contacts.

How A Mens Dress Shoe Should Fit & How To Find The Right Shoe Size Online & In Store - Duration: 11:56.
Welcome back to the Gentleman's Gazette!
Today's video is all about dress shoes and how you can find the right fit, what constitutes
a good fit, and how you determine your proper size.
In recent years, buying shoes online has become very popular.
Originally, people thought "How can I buy a shoe that I've never tried on that actually
fits properly?".
Now, even if you're at a store in your try on shoes,
you might not find some that fit because at the end of the day, all that
matters is the last, its shape, and the size, and whether it works for your foot or not.
Humans are an asymmetrical bunch.
For example, look at me, my right shoulder is a lot lower than my left one and because
of that, the arm is a different length and it's the same for your hands, for
your face, and for your feet.
The left side is never like the right one.
The solution to that problem would be that every man out there gets a pair of bespoke
shoes.
The problem with that is it costs about $2,000 for one pair and
it's simply not something the majority of men out there can afford.
That's where off the rack shoes come into play; they're nicely finished on an elegant
last with high-quality leather, hand polished and burnished, at just a fraction of what
a bespoke shoe would cost you.
For example, look at these shoes by Ace Marks, they cost $300,
they're made in Italy from high-quality leather, they use a rather flexible Blake rapid stitch
sole and the inside is cushioned with some foam between the leather,
that way, you just have a very comfortable feel.
On top of that, their last is well thought through and it fits my foot really really
well.
It's a medium D width and it's slim in the heel, it hugs my foot in the middle, and overall,
the fit for me is very close to a custom shoe even though it just costs a fraction.
So today's video is brought to you by Ace Marks and all the shoes you can see here are
from them.
So how do you find a pair of shoes that fits you really really well?
First of all, let's talk about what a good fit constitutes and
then let's talk about sizing.
In my opinion, the most important part for fit of a shoe is the middle part.
You want it to really fit snugly around your foot so it holds it in place even without
you having to tie your shoelaces.
At the same time, you want the front part of your foot to have enough room in the front
and be neither too wide or too slim at the side.
When you walk, your foot gets longer and shorter and because of that, you want about half an
inch to an inch or one to three centimeters in front of your longest toe inside the shoe
so you compensate for the movement and you're always comfortable.
So what's right?
The perfect width of the last is the one that just hugs you without being too tight or too
loose.
Another important aspect of the fit of the shoe is the vamp.
If there's too much space between the vamp and your foot, you'll easily see wrinkles
in the leather and it's also more uncomfortable to walk in them.
Ideally, you want the leather to be very close to your foot without it being too
tight and uncomfortable for you.
Finally, my pet peeve with most ready to wear shoes is the heel.
Most shoe company is designed so it's very roomy and wide so it fits every kind of shoe,
however, I find it's very important that it's very close to your heel because that way,
it hugs it, you're not gonna slide out when you walk, and it's a lot more comfortable
to wear a shoe that way.
Because of that, all bespoke shoes are always very tight and so whenever I slip into a shoe
that has a tight heel, I immediately feel like oh wow this is more like a custom shoe.
Also to keep the shoe in shape, you have caps in the front and in the back.
Most of the time, heel caps are stiffer than the front caps and some are really stiff and
uncomfortable.
So if your heel doesn't fit a hundred percent in there, it's gonna hurt and you may end
up with blisters.
These shoes here are quite nice in the sense that the heel is not too wide, the cap gives
stability but it's not too hard, and the leather is really soft so there's some room for different
heels and different sizes.
Now with the lace-up shoe, you always have the benefit of having laces that keep things
in place but you don't want things to be too tight.
When a shoe is new and the leather is unstretched, you will likely see a slight v-shape in between
the laces in an Oxford that should close overtime.
Too much of V shape means that you need to last that's slightly bigger or maybe you just
have a bigger foot.
Now, if you have laces you can get away with a fit that is maybe just 90 or 95 percent
versus if you go with a slip on or a loafer shoe such as this penny loafer from Ace Marks,
you have to get a fit that is much better because you don't have laces that help you.
Again, it's super important on a loafer that hugs you tightly around here and that the
heel isn't too wide otherwise, your feet will slide out all the time.
With new shoes, when in doubt always go slightly in a smaller side with a slip-on shoe because
you don't want them to come loose and otherwise, you won't be able to wear them at all later
on.
So one of little secret that you don't hear about very often is that when you remove the
shoe and you get that sound like the release of a vacuum, that's a good indicator that
you have a tight fit.
On a bespoke shoe that's usually what you get and it's also a little more difficult
to take them off so if you experience that, chances are this shoe fits your foot quite
well.
So now that you know how a shoe should fit properly, how do you find the proper size?
Of course, it sounds very simple and you just have to measure your feet before you buy.
The problem is your left foot is not just different than your right foot but the size
of your foot also varies throughout the day with a swelling and depending on how much
you walk.
For most people, the feet are biggest in the evening so that's a good time when you should
measure your shoes or go and buy shoes.
Goes without saying that you should always measure both feet because sometimes people
have more than a size difference between left and right.
In the US, the most common sizing system is the Brannock system.
You can find these metal sizers in shoe stores all across the US or you can buy them on Amazon
for about 60 to 65 bucks.
That device is very simple you just step in take the reading of the width as well as your
length based on your big toe.
Now, most people don't have a device at home and because of that Ace Marks provides you
with a letter-sized and a din a4 format shoe sizer that you can just print out at home.
We will provide you with the different links in the print out below and once you have that,
you simply take it, you tape in the middle, you check the size either with a dollar bill
or with a credit card because sometimes printers are calibrated in a weird way that makes things
print bigger or smaller and that would of course throw off the sizing.
Once you have it though your heel must be on the line.
I always suggest to take a big book put it down.
That way you can't slide back then you stand there and then you take a pen and mark it
slightly facing inward where your big toe is and that way you determine your size, do
it on both feet and you know exactly what size you should get.
What I've found over time is that a lot of shoe companies have different sizes within
their own brand, meaning, different lasts have different sizes and I had ten, ten and
a half, and eleven in one brand; now that's not helpful at all and it always meant I had
to buy shoes, return them, try them on again, and it's just a big hassle.
What I like about Ace Marks is that their sizing conforms to the US Brannock system
so it's all in line and if you know what your Brannock size is, you know Ace Marks is going
to fit.
While it's possible to determine the right size of your foot with a print out at home,
I suggest to have someone help you just to make sure it's 100% accurate.
Now if you don't have a printer, what you can do is to trace the outline of your foot
with socks and make sure to hold the pen slightly inward so you get a neat tight outline of
your foot.
Once you have that, you measure it from the longest point of your heel to your big toe.
With that measurement, you can check out the size chart in centimeters or inches on the
ACE Marks website and you can exactly determine what US Brannock size you are.
When you do this, make sure you stand because the size can be different than when you sit.
Personally, I wear a size 11 and a half US on the US Brannock system and it works quite
well for me.
The Ace Marks come in a medium D width and overall, they hug the middle part of my toe,
they leave enough room for my toes, and they really are good around the heel.
Lets you measure and you come up in between sizes, I suggest you simply get both
sizes have them shipped to you at home, then you can try them on on a carpet or a rug so
they don't scratch the bottom and you can send the pair back that doesn't fit you and
that way, you make sure that you get the best size
for your foot.
When it comes to the width of the shoe, most manufacturers have numbers so A means it's
a slimmer width, D usually is a medium width, and E or EE or F are larger widths.
The problem is this is not a uniform standard and so you have to look at each individual
brand and determine what is wide and what is slim and how wide or how slim they are.
So with the US Brannock system device or the printout, you can also determine your width
in medium, wide or extra wide.
All you have to do is align the outside of your foot or the inside at that line and then
you just take the measurement on the other side.
in today's video I'm wearing a tweed sport coat in brown it's a Donegal tweed and it's
perfect for fall/winter I'm combining it with a light blue and blue striped twill shirt
with button barrel cuffs and a medium spread collar the tie
you see is a olive green cris de la soi knit tie from Fort Belvedere which you can find
in our shop here just like the pocket square which is a printed silk Paisley
pocket square in light blue blue with black from Fort Belvedere and it's
printed in England it's nice because it picks up the colors of my shirt but it pops on my
jacket the skacks I'm wearing are part of a navy suit they have turnups
they were custom made for me and they have a rougher heavier fabric and
because of that they drape nicely my shoes are a pair of medium brown Oxfords with half
broguing which means it's a cap toe with broguing it's a very versatile
shoe that I like a lot for travel and of course it's from Ace marks it's quite comfortable
it's a Blake construction which means it's a thinner sole a much more flexible sole so
if you have issues with Goodyear welted shoes because they're too hard definitely check
out Blake rapid or Blake stitch the last is quite elegant classic
and round and I think for $300 they're really great buy as you
can see the shoes are hand polished and hand burnished which takes much longer is more
expensive but it results into a much nicer look because you have different rates of brown
on top of the leather and it helps to create really
nice and rich patina the socks I'm wearing here from Fort Belvedere they are shadows
striped in navy and yellow so they work with the pants but contrast the
shoes and overall create a nice look that's interesting and different from the standard
plain sock last but not least I have a pinky ring in silver with a malachite stone which
is green which picks up the green in my tie if you

5 Days Of Hygge | Try Living With Lucie | Refinery29 - Duration: 9:13.
I'm Lucie Fink, and this week is 5 Days of Hygge.
Hey guys!
It's me.
Welcome back to another
Try Living With Lucie 5 Day Challenge.
Before we start if you're new to our channel,
click right here to subscribe!
And also comment below right now to let me
know what other 5 Day Challenges you want
to see me try.
We all good?
Let's get into it.
I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it 100% correctly.
This little book is going to be my guide this week.
Amd the book tells that me it's pronounced "Hoo Ga,"
so—
we'll go with that.
It's a word that the Danes in Denmark use
to describe a feeling.
Some call it being consciously cozy,
or cocoa by candlelight.
The term originates from the Norwegian word
for well-being and my major takeaway after
reading this entire book from cover to cover is that
you cannot really describe hygge.
The book did breakdown some of the major hygge
pillars for me.
So you'll definitely want to watch until
the end of this video if you want to get the
clearest and fullest possible picture of
what hygge means.
So sit back, relax, grab a hot cocoa, and get comfy.
I started out today by making the atmosphere
of my apartment more hygge-like.
Candles are arguably the most important piece
of the hygge puzzle.
When asked how many candles you're supposed
to light at once, most Danes will tell you
that it's more than five.
So I got myself 20 candles, all unscented.
And I turned my apartment into what most Americans
would call a fire hazard.
In Denmark though, candles are burned at home,
in offices, even at school.
I opened up my windows to make sure there
was proper ventilation and I was being very cautious.
Most Danes will tell you that an open fireplace
makes a room more hygge-like.
Living in a New York City apartment,
that wasn't really an option for me.
But I did take my big TV and I turned on YouTube
and put on the yule log video that lasts 11 hours.
And I had a crackling open fireplace in here.
I decorated my living space with excess fluffy
blankets and pillows.
I strung up some lights around my lamp.
And I also went around replacing all of my
LED light bulbs with lower temperature bulbs.
As I learned in the book, the lower the light temperature,
the more hygge it is.
Hygge can happen all year-round.
Yes, even in the summer months.
But in Denmark, December is arguably the biggest
month for it which is why I chose this time of year.
Also most of the clothing associated with
hygge is clothing that you would most likely
associate with a warm winter's night spent
locked inside by the fireplace.
What better way to show you guys
my hygge wardrobe than to do a
The book told me about a word hyggebukser.
I'm not sure if I'm saying it correctly
but it basically refers to a pair of pants
that you would never be caught dead wearing in public.
Maybe I should get a pair of hyggebukser.
We're here.
This blue chunky sweater is from my friend
over at Hania by Anya Cole.
And you'll see a few other pieces in here from them.
They actually let me borrow a few of their
items for this week of hygge.
First item is this sweater that I wore yesterday.
This is a chunky, oversized but sort of cropped,
long-sleeve turtleneck.
I got it from Tobi.
And it's really really freaking soft.
Beautiful.
Here are another of those Hania by Anya Cole sweaters.
How soft is that, right?
So nice.
You can't have hygge without scarves as
I learned from The Little Book of Hygge.
This one I just don't remember, oh—
I blew out the candle with the scarf.
Don't remember.
I'm making a mess.
Please hold.
Food plays a major role in hygge.
Especially, sweet, delicious, and really indulgent food.
And certain foods are very hygge-like while
others are just not.
For instance, cookies are.
Mmhmm.
Celery sticks are not.
Ew.
Score!
So today now that I had my hygge environment
in the living room glowing and I had my comfy
hygge clothing on, I spent today indulging.
I started with a mug of rich, dark hot chocolate.
Piled to the brim with mini marshmallows.
Sugar and sweets are part of a balanced, hygge-like
lifestyle so I of course was munching on gummy
bears all afternoon.
But something that I read in the book is that
the longer it takes to make something,
the more hygge-like it is.
It's all about preparing food and our relationship
with food and the joy that comes from eating
something that we worked hard to make.
Cinnamon buns.
I'll put the link to this recipe in the
description box below.
I started by making the dough from scratch
with yeast.
I mixed in the salt, eggs, and flour which, let me tell you, was a real workout on forearms.
And then I let it rise.
I cleaned off my countertop before pouring
some oil on to it.
And then I spread out the dough into
a rectangular shape.
I poured melted butter on it.
And then I spread my cinnamon sugar mixture on top.
Next I rolled it up into a log shape and then
I cut out slices.
While they were in the oven baking, I whipped
up some homemade cream cheese icing.
And I've got to be honest with you as always,
they looked really great but they were not great.
But if I took anything away from the food
section of the hygge book, it's that the
food you're cooking doesn't have to come out perfectly.
So even if my cinnamon buns didn't come
out that well, the entire experience of making
them could not have been more hygge.
Time for another hygge definition.
Hyggekrog.
A comfy or cozy corner, or a snug place.
Apparently most Danes have a hyggekrog in
their home where they like to snuggle up with
a warm blanket, a cup of tea, and a good book.
My windowsills aren't exactly wide enough
to sit on so I decided to make that little
corner of the couch my hyggekrog for the day.
I spread out my fluffiest blankets.
Brought along a few good books and a journal.
Popped on my fuzzy socks.
And relaxed.
Today was all about having a hygge filled
day using some of the hygge tips that I've
learned in the book so far.
In my journal I wrote down a few of the happiest
hygge-like moments that I've had in the past.
And then I created a hygge bucket list of
hygge moments that I want to have in the future
with the people I love.
Things like a board game night with my siblings,
renting a cabin with my family, and getting
snowed in with Michael.
This is a good time for me to mention that
even though I'm hygge-ing at home this week,
Hygge does not need to take place in the home.
Actually some of the best hygge can take place
outdoors in nature or in coffee shops.
This is also a good time for me to mention
that I've been by hygge-ing by myself this
week because it's the middle of the work
week and all the people I know and love are
either at school or at work.
But most Danes will tell you hygge is the
best when it's experienced with others.
So once Michael gets home from work tonight,
we're going to snuggle up in our little hyggekrog.
And he recently just went through and printed
all of our photos from when we first started
dating in high school
So we're going to look through our new photo album.
I got Michael.
And we're in our little hyggekrog.
We've got some candlelight on.
Dark outside.
This one is our first photo that we ever took together.
We're so young!
Oh yeah that was my college graduation.
That's when we went to Newport.
Happy Friday!
Or as they say in the book, Happy Fredashygge.
Which is hygge on Fridays.
So last night Michael and I hygged together
on the couch, but any Dane will tell you that
the sweet spot for hygge is with three to four people.
So tonight we invited my sister Ally over,
because the three of us, Me, Michael, and
my sister, have always called ourselves
The Three Musketeers.
We're best friends and we love spending time together.
Sine hygge is all about being present we turned
our cell phones off, and then we worked together
to cook a delicious dinner.
And then we spent the rest of the night laughing
together, playing board games on the couch,
and just enjoying being with one another.
Doing the hoedown.
Yes!
Writing a book?
Hah!
Yes!
I think looking like an idiot.
Skiing.
Three Musketeers!
I don't think I've enjoyed another five
day challenge quite as much as this one.
And this little book here could not have been
more helpful at allowing me to integrate this
amazing Danish feeling in to my everyday life
here in New York.
Comment below letting us know how you hygge
and if you've never heard the term before,
I highly recommend you get this book and give it a try.
And as always, let me know what you want to
see me try next time for five days.
Bye!

Bastiaan floats like a balloon after taking salvia | Drugslab - Duration: 8:25.
It's as if my hands are being lifted up. My hands don't want to go down.
Hello, I'm Bastiaan. -And I'm Nellie.
And welcome... -In our Drugslab.
Every week we test a drug to test its effect on our bodies.
If you're curious about a drug, let us know in the comments.
Just like Rachelle and Joshisja. -And Trippy Jitte and MrLeethium.
And they want Bas to try Salvia.
This is Salvia. It has a greenish colour.
It looks like tea, and it smells like... tea as well.
I've already tried it. It's the most powerful herbal hallucinogenic on earth.
It makes you hallucinate, very briefly, but very intensely.
It's also known as 'sage divine', but I didn't think it was that divine.
I thought it was unpleasant, and a lot of people share that opinion.
I have to admit that I'm very nervous.
It's unreal. I've never been this nervous on Drugslab before.
I've known I was going to do this for a few weeks. I'm well prepared.
I also watched your video a few times. -Not a good idea.
I feel a lot of tension. -You wanted to try it yourself.
I really want to try it. I'm very curious, but I am really nervous though.
The zero values are on the board.
The Mazatec people used to chew on the leaves or used them to make tea.
The trip is then longer, but less intense.
We have an extract. It can be bought in smart shops.
An extract is a concentrated version of the leaves.
We have what is known as Extract 10X. We're going to use 50 mg.
The dosage differs per extract. Ask for more info at the smart shop.
We're going to try 50 mg.
That's fine. -That's 50 mg of extract.
We have a tiny filter in our pipe, so that it doesn't fall through.
We're going to use this lighter.
The effects of Salvia are unpredictable.
They can vary from barely noticeable to very intense.
It can trigger psychoses, if you're prone to psychoses.
Be aware of your environment, as Salvia affects your coordination...
which can cause you to fall.
That's why we're remodelling the lab into a relaxed and chill setting.
Well, here we are on the couch, in our new setting.
No odd objects laying around. I'll explain what's going to happen.
Salvia divinorum contains salvinorin A. It mainly affects your opioid receptors.
But unlike other psychedelics, it binds to your kappa opioid receptors.
It can make you hallucinate, but it can also result in a bad experience.
A lot of things can happen. It can make you feel like an object...
like you're somewhere else, or make you babble in a strange language.
You never know beforehand. I'm here for you.
Try to be relaxed, and focus on your trip.
Don't worry about the setting. It's unimportant. You don't have to talk.
Okay. Let's go. -Here's the pipe with the Salvia.
You have to heat it up, inhale smoke, and keep it in for about twenty seconds.
Then you hand the pipe to me, and we'll see what happens next.
I don't know why you'd want to, but don't mix it with medication...
drugs, or alcohol. It's intense enough as it is.
It's not that intense, it just feels like I'm taking off. That's all.
It's not like I'm going out of my mind.
If I do this with my hands, it feels like I have helium balloons under my hands.
As if they're being pushed upwards. -It really feels that way.
What if you hold them like this? -They still go up.
You want to lift off, but...
My hands... My hands don't want to go down anymore.
It's as if I also have helium in my hands. -I thought it was scary.
That's all that I'm feeling. I'm not tripping or anything.
It has the same effect on my feet.
The same feeling? -Yes. When I lift them up.
It's like I'm pushing down helium balloons, but they won't stay down.
Now it's over. I can't feel it anymore.
What about your legs? -Neither. I just feel it a little bit.
And in your mind? -My mind is normal.
It's a bit hazy, but it's not as if I'm tripping.
When I hold them here, they still go up. I'm constantly doing this.
But especially this one. -That's weird. Weird. That's just weird.
Perhaps your reaction to it was so mild that all you felt were 'helium hands'.
This one has stopped, this one hasn't.
Aren't you also a bit relieved? -I am.
That you didn't get launched right away. -That's what I thought would happen.
Salvia has six levels. They're mentioned in the description.
I think you're on the first level, which only has a subtle effect.
It did have some effect on you. -I'm a bit disappointed.
I just tried Extract 10X. That only had a mild effect on me.
Now I'm going to try the Extract 20X. -This is 60 mg of Extract 20X.
You want me to light it, right? -How about now?
I feel nothing, guys. I feel nothing. I inhaled a lot. It burned in my throat.
I just feel warm. -Maybe it just has little effect on you.
How is that possible? -Salvia has no effect on some people.
It could be that the dose was too small.
This goes to show that everyone reacts differently to drugs.
2CE, for example, had no effect on me, but it made you go bonkers.
That's why you should listen to your own body.
It's odd that the second, and stronger, extract had less effect.
Usually the effects are quite intense.
That's why it's not addictive, because you don't want this every day.
But maybe something exciting will happen tonight or tomorrow.
I feel fine, but I expected that.
I have a headache, but I don't know if that's because of the Salvia.
I was disappointed yesterday, mainly because I was well prepared.
I was fucking nervous, so it really sucked that it had no effect.
It can happen to anyone. This was Drugslab for this week.
If you're curious about a drug, leave a comment. Like and subscribe.
Follow us on Instagram, and on our personal Instagram.
I'll see you again next time. Bye.

Prince Harry and Meghan to wed on May 19, 2018 - Duration: 1:37.
Prince Harry and Meghan to wed on May 19, 2018
Britain's Prince Harry and American actor Meghan Markle will marry on May 19, 2018,
Kensington Palace announced Friday.
The pair, who will get married in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle, announced their
engagement in November.
On that occasion, Harry told reporters that he knew Markle was "the one" from "the very
first time we met."
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announce their engagement to the press.
The couple attended their first royal event together in the city of Nottingham earlier
this month, where they were met by well-wishers.
On Wednesday it was revealed that they will spend their first Christmas as an engaged
couple with Queen Elizabeth and other members of Britain's royal family at the Sandringham
royal estate.
Harry and Markle meet well-wishers in Nottingham during their first royal event together earlier
this month.
The couple will live in Nottingham Cottage in the grounds of London's Kensington Palace,
the official residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
The couple opened up for the first time about their relationship in an interview last month
when Harry told the BBC that his late mother, Princess Diana, would have been "over the
moon" about the pair's engagement.
Harry and Markle first met for a drink in July 2016 on a blind date, brokered by a mutual
friend, whose name they would not reveal, but "it was definitely a setup," Markle said
in the interview.

The Messed Up Thing In Christmas Vacation No One Talks About - Duration: 2:42.
For those of us who dread seeing our relatives over the holidays, National Lampoon's Christmas
Vacation is a comedy classic.
It's got memorable characters, great slapstick gags, and some of the most quotable lines
that you'll see all season.
"Where you gonna put a tree that big?"
"Bend over and I'll show you."
But as funny as it is, there's something at the core of the story that makes the whole
thing seem more than a little sad.
For one thing, despite his all-consuming dedication to Christmas cheer, Clark Griswold is actually
a pretty terrible person, a fact that's obvious from, well, pretty much every frame
of the movie.
He's prone to violent fits of rage, the entire plot is driven by the fact that he's
been spending money he doesn't have in an effort to be a big shot - putting a pool in
at his home.
And don't forget, most of the comedy comes from the sheer, seething hatred that bleeds
out in the form of one-liners at the expense of his extended family.
"This will be the last Christmas."
"Keeps it up it WILL be his last Christmas."
Here's where the real problem comes in: it's not just his distant relatives that
Clark seems to be having trouble with.
Pay attention, and it's pretty clear that his marriage is crumbling, too.
When Clark heads to the store to buy a present for his wife, he encounters the beautiful
Mary, and almost falls over himself with the desire to cheat on his wife.
The fact that he's fantasizing isn't the problem — Nicolette Scorsese circa 1989 hiking up
her skirt is enough to provide a distraction for a lot of people — but when his Freudian
slip goes straight to "adultery," that's a big indication that there's a problem
back at the Griswold house.
It only gets worse later, when he's fantasizing about how sweet life will be once he owns
the pool.
Mary shows up in his fantasy to do a swimsuit striptease on the diving board, which also
involves all of his relatives vanishing from both the pool and, presumably, his life — including
Ellen.
Again, the fantasy's understandable, but Clark mentally sorting Ellen into the same group
as Cousin Eddie, whom he flat-out hates, doesn't speak well for how he thinks of her.
It's not just in this movie, either.
In the original Vacation, Clark famously flirts with Christie Brinkley as they're both driving
down the highway, and even winds up going skinny dipping with her when they end up at
the same hotel.
He's only stopped from cheating when he's interrupted by his wife, and while she manages
to look past this near-infidelity, there's definitely some tension remaining as they
head into the holidays.
"Forgive my husband, for he knows not what he does."
"Amen!"
And the worst part?
Despite her happy face and the fact that she manages to keep it together through at least
five movies, Ellen is absolutely aware of how much of a sham her marriage is.
When her daughter complains about having to share a bed with her brother due to the family
staying at the Griswold house, she refers to it as "sick and twisted."
Ellen's response?
Pointing out that she's the one who has to sleep with Clark.
"I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery."

NEW FREE YOUTUBE TOOL ALERT: Video Tag Templates - Duration: 3:23.
We think YouTube's got a problem with default video tags, so we're going to fix it and this
is how
Hello everyone, welcome to vidIQ, my name is Rob.
If this is your first time here we are the YouTube channel that aims to help you get
more views in less time.
Out tool is free to download, a link is in the description and while you're at it, subscribe
to the channel and click on the notification bell so you don't miss anything.
Put the hammer down,
Sorry
PUT.
THE.
HAMMER.
DOWN!
Here's where we think YouTube's own tools, they just aren't up to the task.
The upload defaults allow you to set one collection of videos tags and in this day and age that
simply doesn't cut the mustard.
If you cover a range of topics on your channel you will want a core set of tags you use for
each of these topics
So what we propose and serve up to you fully free of charge is the Tag template tool.
You will find this tool on both the video upload page and video info page as a button
just under your video tags.
In a practical example we have this video about 10 ways to use playlists to get more
YouTube views.
We're not going to use YouTube's defaults at all so let's go straight to the tag template
tool.
We've already setup one collection of tags but it's more about how to get how to get
a certain number of views over a certain period of time.
This video will form part of series about the top 10 Youtube tips for different topics
like, comments, getting subscribers, starting a channel and of course using playlists, so
by typing out a title we start a new tag template.
To add a tag to this template simply type in a keyword or phrase and then press enter
or click add tag to add that single tag to the collection.
To add more than one tag at a time separate each one with a comma so it adds them like
this.
So now you get the idea, start writing all the tags you want within a template and when
you've finished don't forget to click the save button in the bottom left hand corner.
Now get ready for a little vidIQ magic, click the insert tags button and that automatically
adds those tags to your video, and note the vidIQ SEO score update too.
Not bad eh?
Those are the basics but you may want to consider a couple of things before you insert these
tags.
First of all while these will form your core tags that you may use in many videos you will
want to add the video specific unique tags first.
In this example I am adding YouTube Playlist specific tags before I add the tag template
tags.
When you do this your existing tags are not overwritten, the tag templates tags are simply
appended to the bottom.
Also you'll be keen to know that the vidiq keyword inspector has made it into the tool
so simply click on any tag to reveal loads more information about its popularity, historic
trend and related videos that use the tag.
And that's vidIQ template tags in a nutshell.
No more need for txt files full of different tags, simply setup them up in our tool and
add them to your videos in a matter of seconds.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on this brand new tool and don't forget it's absolutely
free when you download the vidIQ chrome extension a link is in the description.
Enjoy the rest of your video making day.
Bye for now.

How To Treat Fungal Infection - 6 Easy Ways - Duration: 10:31.
Natural ways to beat fungus. Do you have questions about fungal infections like
who gets them? Where do they happen? Is it a toenail fungus, a chronic sinus
infection, a respiratory disease and what are the treatment options and how can
you prevent it?
So after watching this video, you'll know the four types of
infections, how you can avoid fungus, you'll know the difference between yeast
candida and fungus and what treatments are available and the six solutions for
treating fungal infections and as a bonus, the four advanced therapies for
candida, yeast and fungal infections. Hi, this is Dr. Jason West in the West
Clinic in four generations, a hundred years of healing with me and now, before
I go on, I need your help, I want to you to help as many people as possible a
cause to help people achieve and maintain optimal health without going to
doctors, without unnecessary drugs, without unnecessary surgery, aggressive
interventions and the value that I bring to you is that the information and the
report that goes with it, and in return, would you please like and
share the video? Thank you for doing that. I was asked yesterday by a patient, "What
can you do about infection?" I replied, 'What type of infection?" because there are
four types of infection, there's bacteria, there's virus, there's parasites and
fungi and after the discovery of antibiotics, it seemed like everyone
assumed infections were bacterial and we just hammered people with antibiotics, it
was called the wonder drug. The dictionary defines anti means fighting
or posed or against and bios is the Greek word for life, so it literally
means life killing therapy. Now I'm not anti-medicine but I feel you should use
antibiotics cautiously because they can be life-saving but they can also have
some detrimental side effects to your health and I need to talk about side
effects. Drugs either have effects or they don't, there's no such thing as a
side effect. Okay, I have seen hundreds of patients with the effects of antibiotics
and often antibiotics are the cause or the contributing factor the chronic
yeast or Candida infections so let's talk about yeast and mold and mushrooms.
I mean who really eats those? I mean we need an MRI schedule
your brain if you are a fungus or mushroom eater. Now I say that jokingly
because I don't like the taste of mushrooms but it's a proven fact that
people that eat mushrooms eventually die. Okay, I'll drop the comedy act, I just
have an aversion to mushrooms. I mean, do you know that they grow on? Seriously,
it's poop, okay, alright, nevermind about the fecal living organisms, the
video must go on. Really this is a good place to talk about the definitions
because mold, yeast, mildew, they're all fungus, the word gets used
interchangeably and many times people are talking about yeast, candida or
candida fungus and to describe the same thing, now yeast are unicellular fungi
while fungus are made up of long tubes of Heifetz like basically a bunch of
them and Candida basically is the precursor in yeast, it's kind of like a
butterfly so it's just different life cycles of the organism. Now there are
different areas that the yeast or candida fungus, the monster likes to go
after, you can have skin problems like athlete's foot, jock itch, fingernail or
toenail fungus and ringworm and why is this such a problem? Because Americans
unintentionally fertilize the yeast or the Candida and who does that? It's
because the American diet is filled with so much sugar and simple carbs, that's
one way to address the problem.. If you starve the fungus, you'll start feeling
worse because it's releasing toxins and the natural thing to do is to start
eating sugar and then the yeast laps up and it's sugar and then you feel better
but your conditions stay the same so yeast and Candida multiplies and it
makes us crave sugar, that's why it's such a difficult thing to take care of
and how do you know if you have a yeast problem? One clue is the symptoms, things
like oral thrush, fingernail or toenail fungus, vaginal yeast infections or even
patches on your skin your, respiratory system you can get into your lungs, there
can also be systemic Candida which can get into your muscles, your lungs and
your brain. Now I believe Candida is a huge contributing factor to fibromyalgia
and chronic fatigue syndrome or the new name, systemic, exertion, tolerance disease.
I mean, that sounds way better than chronic disease. Now a lot of medical
practitioners don't believe in Candida or systemic Candida like it's some type of a
religion or something and like Will Rogers statement here, there's two sides
to every argument. Lying and the wrong one, so a lot of
medical practitioners, they just miss the boat on yeast and Candida. Now the
medical practitioners who do recognize these problems may be treating them
wrong, many antifungals affect liver and kidney
function especially if you mix the antifungals with alcohol or another drug
therapy and antifungals weaken the heart's ability to contract, this can
lead to heart failure and the medicine that the antifungals reactant are
usually common prescriptions, or over-the-counter medicines. Now fungus
are microorganisms that are present everywhere, indoors, outdoors. In fact,
there's over 50,000 types of fungi in the environment, they can coexist or live
on your skin for years without a problem but sometimes, it change happens and then
the infection occurs and it can be ringworm on your head or nail beds or
candidiasis, it can be in the mouth, a vaginal tract or the urinary tract.
Now it's kind of a trick question at the beginning of the video because it says,
"How can we avoid fungus?" How can you avoid mold? And the answer is that you
can't, the way that you don't have those infections is you've got to make sure
that your immune system is healthy and you don't intentionally feed the candida,
this can be brought on by a weakened immune system side effects of
antibiotics, diabetes, poor hygiene, warm and moist environments, poor circulation
or a traumatic skin injury. So let's talk about something that's really important..
If you're having fungal concerns or problems, it's a sign that your immune
system isn't working. Let me repeat that. A fungal infection is a sign of a deeper
problem and you can't avoid fungus or yeast or mold spores, they're everywhere
and the immune system takes care of it when it's healthy, if you have the immune
system deficiencies or lifestyle problems, where you're unintentionally
just feeding or fertilizing the yeast and then this thing called stress. Now
stress, too much sugar, not enough sleep and empty calorie diet, what? That means
you can get food space takers, now what does that mean? It means that you can get
food in your system, it's of no well substance. In my opinion, the only
long-term viable solution for a chronic yeast or Candida infection is to work on
the person and not the yeast, you must change the environment and
make the person healthy, rely on a pill or an antifungal medicine I believe is a
recipe for disaster. So let's talk about solutions.. Here's the best way to treat
these types of infections. Number one, remove the food source, stop eating food
cocaine. Now I say that because it sounds cool and everyone says sugar is more
addictive than cocaine so avoid sugar. Apple cider vinegar helps to kill fungus
infections and the acidic properties helps to kill the problem and you can
use it externally and you can use it internally and for systemic conditions,
I really like plain yogurt not sugarfied yogurt, I love garlic because it helps to
kill the fungus, the bacteria and the yeast and oils like tea tree oil, oregano
oil, peppermint, and clove oil. Now my favorite thing to do for anti-fungal
Candida yeast is a natural Native American remedy called Lomatium,
it's a wild crafted herb, originally discovered by the Native Americans that
bolsters the immune system and I believe it's the number one remedy for fungal
infections, for yeast problems and for systemic Candida. There are two ways to
get this, you can get as a tincture, as a capsule and this is particularly
effective against fungal skin infections because it literally burns up the fungus
and it leaves your healthy tissue intact and you rub this on your toenail or your
fingernail and it really really helps that type of fungus but I must urge you,
its consistency, if you treat those areas consistently with Lomatium,
it will help, in my experience. Now you have to figure out who is more
determined you or the fungus, so you take the Lomtium, you rub it on your toenails
and fungus and you can order through that, you can order that through the West
Clinic online or Ntures NX. Now for the people that are not responding
to the home therapy, there's some advanced therapies that are important to
help your immune system. Number one, vitamin C, it strengthens the immune system,
it's my favorite overall vitamin, you may want to couple that with ultraviolet
bloody radiation therapy or UV RX therapy and then dilute hydrochloric
acid. A one to five hundred dilution has some fantastic immune stimulating and
some lymph node flushing therapy and then neural therapy helps to reset
the nervous system, I talked about this on in most every video because it's
literally life-changing. So to summarize the information, you can't avoid fungus
you got to be healthy. If you have a fungal problem, it's a sign that your
immune system isn't working that well and antifungal medicines interact with
common prescriptions and over-the-counter medicines and they're
very hard on the liver and kidney, the only way to win against and Candida our
yeast problem is to make the body healthy, it's kind of like the Humpty
Dumpty plan, you're on a wall, you fall off, you're in pieces, you have to have
someone help put the pieces back together. To beat this, you need to follow
the candida diet and by the way, as a bonus, if you'll message me, I'll send you
my favorite candida diet outline and then Lomatium is the best treatment for
Candida systemically in my opinion. You can put Lomatium
directly on the skin areas, your fingernails and toenails, it works great
as long as you're consistent, based upon my clinical experience and the feedback
that my patients are giving me and then some people with Candida, long-standing
yeast and Candida infections, the only way in my opinion to beat those is to do
the IV vitamin C, some type of ultraviolet therapy and possibly some
dilute hydrochloric acid therapy. Thanks for watching the video, this is Dr. Jason
West in the West Clinic. There's always hope and our mission is to help as many
people as possible to achieve and maintain optimal health.

Masternode cryptomonnaie en 10mn #bitcoin #altcoin - Duration: 10:06.
Hello again, good evening. For this second video after the staking, this time we will focus on masternode that is finally
Staking with a minimum entrance fee. "Exactly, in fact it's a bit staking's evolution
Wholesale to explain you take the principle of staking as explained in the previous video unless you have an entrance fee
so basically as you have your entrance fee
the network trusts you "yeah" by default
like that there's only you who can verify the transactions and those who have the same entrance fee
So there's less people who can
verify transactions, secure the network but therefor the rate of return is much more superior then
the problem is that it is less
less easy
to make masternode
because it always has a little configuration to do between two "we didn't explain in another video on staking, is
it easy to install and difficult to install; we said we had a small pc unlike mining; staking "
"Click click Next Next Next, finished, you download the blockchain, you put your coins above it, you shift your wallet
that stakes. "So basically as your wallet is connected and the machine has Internet
"There" you stake and there is nothing to adjust while masternode there's a little config, "there's a little bit of
config, there's little command lines to retrieve
stuff that's a little more complex. "" There's command lines but for those who are fans of the only windows
we can still do it with windows. "We can do it with windows
There's a console for orders on each portfolio "ok" okay? but the thing is that as there's less people that can rightly afford
that entrance fee "yes" rate of return is really superior; in general, masternode start
for example 5/6% forthe well-known as Dash
but you can get 200 300 500% and there's even many
1500% per year, but precisely because there's this entrance fee and that's what makes a little scarcity
of masternode; all transactions go through there "and that's something that is still relatively little used"
It's not very used especially as it is there's more
currencies, currencies, people can not do all, "exactly "so we remind a little bit as staking in term of power level
it doesn't requires a crazy thing; "This is the same as staking", "except that staking there's an entrance fee, it
must have this much money to be able to
claim, claim masternode and then generate a large gain in profitability
"Exactly," with gains that will make you forget you clearly Livret A "but for example
Artic coin here is actually at 30% a little over 30%, bisounours at 60%
the Interzone at 200% so you see truly like there's this rarity
the ability to secure the network, there's scarcity of nodes
so obviously we gain tremendously. "So those currencies that will bring us to 40/ 50 /60% Do we have to invest
1000 euros 2000 euros of this coin to be eligible for masternode?
As usual in the crypto currency the more you'll diversify the least you will be subject to the risks of falling
to the disappearance of a currency or so "exactly" it was a shitty project disappearing "exactly and then beyond it
For example I mentioned earlier Interzone which aims to make a complete social network blockchain
A mix between diaspora and facebook you know and everything on blockchain
There's a huge range
So the more it will be known more it will be used and more masternode go up in value "yeah and therefore the entry fee
will go up, "" exactly "so it is better to do it now." For example, I got bisounours at 11 dollars
I think right now it is 30/35 dollars
So you see it is already a plus;it will go up progressively";" So it is very interesting from there, by the end of 2017 because
In 2018 we will not hide it and you know if you're there, watching videos on
masternode, interesting in mining, trading for purchase
holding it's just I buy and wait
if you are at masternoding level you know this is the time to buy, this is the time to invest, "exactly
earlier one is in masternode, the cheaper it is", "the cheaper it is and the more it will bring you crazy
and if it is a concrete project with something that brings a real interest
typically technological, a sort of facebook on blockchain or
or other projects you know it will explode in the next two years and your masternode that cosst you maybe 15
$ of coins will make a x 50 x 100 x 200 "," and beyond the value
the thing is you do values creation meaning that when you got a
masternode as staking, every time you secure a transaction, you are paid, it is actually added to
Your portfolio so even if they drop a bit
as you have created value
Well it necessarily offset the decline, but if it goes up, well your rise will be especially high actually
and it's mostly what's interesting in a mastenode ";" So here I see auditors who are worried, yes you down here, I see you
if masternode, my machine breaks down ";" then in general,
how to explain? they have an error compensation; for example, the one I know most is the Arctic coin
if you reconnecte yourself within the next hour it is as if you were not offline
"Okay, that means what am I doing? I save a
wallet file? "," you backup your wallet and your config
Here, "" my config file "there" to be able to go back as soon as possible meaning
I take another pc lying around at home that served as the dekstop or I buy a raspberry pi
or a small PC because once again there's no need for a big config to make a masternode, a small 30
euro pc is enough nomatter if it's on windows or on linux some things like that, I remind you that I bought mini pc
during black friday that cost 32 euros, which can potentially
make two or three, "three", three masternode of 32 euros computer "here" we can not say that it is expensive "exactly", hardware
So you buy like this, you could have a backup pc when there is one that you do fail
It's okay I get out my wallet file I put my password back, I put my config file back and you relaunch
Bam I am masternode again and I will continue where I was, the blockchain
resynchronize, I get all my gains", " and also to reassure future masternode creators
When, for example, you go over time, for example for the Arctic coin, you are offline
and the time you actually reconnecteyou just lost the time when you were offline
You don't loose again / You put no time
to be back, oh yes it is him I recognize him, "here" after you catch up, "and yet when you reconnecte it takes you 15 seconds, but but the
thing ismostly that the network does'nt reject you, so actually if you're offline for three days you lost three days of gains
but you don't lose what you have created and you will not lose what you'll create
and in fact it is mostly what's interesting
Meaning even with a failure or whatever well in the worst case during three days well you create nothing but it's okay
yes it's just three days "yes exactly"
Ok something to add?
Well except that there are more and more currencies setting about masternode "yeah" So it will
go check, there's several websites that do that like masternode.pro, masternode war online
providing lists of masternode
so I recommend these websites
Go check anyway on the websites of different currencies all that how they are perceived, particularly what's said on twitter
because there's still
some shit coins that making masternode just to be in the mainstream and ultimately break down
three months after they are worth nothing
So be careful anyway", "stay on solid projects, investigate, check the forums, go see reddit, "exactly" go on
telegram
ask us questions in comments on youtube, we will tell you what we think, if we know the project or if it
is completely shit coin "here", "and then I would add if you enjoyed this video
please subscribe, put blue thumbs"," blue thumbs, subscriptions all that but also thank you to Samurai
cooperation
sorrycooperative". " Of course we are hosted tonight, you will notice that it's not the usual set up and as the video
about staking we are hosted by the samurai cooperative with a real director filming us with his"" and for once we have a pro results"," his
beautiful GH5 and we saw
the first video about staking, I think you will find that the result is much more
professional as usual with the little mike that's here and hiden on the chair and so I should stop moving the chair hoping
there is no grips; so feel free to subscribe to the channel, please, you have our BTC
Ethereum wallets, you know that if everyone was donating even a small euro
with the wallets that are below us, it will allow us to buy new equipment, new mikes, new lights
"And it also allows us to participate in other projects such as the Samurai," "exactly"
50 cents or 1 euro; if the 1,300 subscribers give it you know that concerning equipment it's
christmas for us, you have affiliation amazon links, you have affiliation coinbase
link, if you buy 100 euros coinbase you'll have 10 euros back and 10 euros for us
So actually you have plenty of ways to give us money without giving us your money with all these affiliation links
and if you do not have a small euro to invest in crypto
well I think I don't know what you do on the masternode investment video because
Believe me that in 2018 it's not a euro that you will generate; You can also see all these, all the youtube videos on
itunes, don't hesitate to put stars on it"a lot of stars", but still come to us commens on youtube because it's
more fun for us; I'm not aware of what is going on itunes compared to videos
of LanguedeGeek channel. We'll see soon and anyway for an upcoming
No. 6, No. 7 live that will be
on tuesday, wednesday we'll see "we'll see", "we communicate on all social networks, you can find us on instagram, twitter, facebook
"Yeah telegram, discord," "discord and all you want and
that's it. "" Exactly". " Well ciao "." See you soon. Ciao"
