Let's talk about superstructures. In the Salis world, superstructures are
spontaneously appearing phenomena of large scale. These structures are the
emergent result of the complex interactions the mutant descendants of
our original ancestor, '55.anc', have over time. In this video I'll
be reviewing four specific superstructures which have been discovered so
far. These structures are named: storms, walkers, reefs and nests. But before we
dive into them, let's introduce some concepts. CELLULARITY. In Salis some
superstructures are the result of a single mutant organism running amok in
the world. These are known as unicellular superstructures. However, superstructures
may also consist of many organisms, in some cases thousands of
them, and thus can be considered multicellular superstructures. LIFE. Some
of the super structures do not imply code replication. They are the work of a
single organism, or group of organisms, that has lost its ability to replicate
and simply exists in the world. These are known as abiotic, or non-living super
structures. However, many structures do contain living, replicating code in them.
They are alive and thus are known as biotic, or living superstructures.
METABOLISM. Lastly, some structures contain organisms which carry out a
process I've named metabolism. These are known as metabolic superstructures, as
they consist of metabolic organisms. However, other superstructures contain
organisms that don't metabolize, and thus are considered non-metabolic super
structures. But wait, what exactly is metabolism? We can think of metabolism as
a way for organisms to trade memory space for extra CPUs, by using the memory
block-swap instruction. It also allows organisms, or more accurately code, to be
kept on top of the execution queue for a long period of time,
and then be executed repeatedly by newly generated CPUs. Metabolism is, in my
opinion, one of the most interesting discoveries I've made in Salis. It's a
very powerful, self-preserving exploit that organisms have found through
evolution, all by themselves, and that I never imagined possible when
implementing the Salis instruction set.
OK, let's now talk about the superstructures one-by-one. Let's begin with
the simplest superstructure, one that always appears early on simulations and
that has a profound effect on the early evolution of the world. STORMS. Storms
appear when a mutant organism tries to allocate a memory block of huge size. It
can be caused by a simple mutation that makes the organism decrement the value
on a register that already contains zero on it. In Salis organisms' registers
cannot contain negative values on them. Thus, decrementing a register containing
zero, places the largest 32-bit integer possible (2^32 - 1)
into it. If the organism later tries to allocate a child memory block while
using this register's value as the size parameter, it will attempt to allocate a
memory block over 4GB long. This size is, by obligation, larger than
the size of the world, so the allocation will never be completed as it is
impossible to complete. Even so, the seeker pointer will be sent out to try
and the result will be an ever-growing block of memory, expanding in one
direction or another, until it either hits another block of allocated memory
or reaches the edge of the world. Storms can get very large, especially at
first, when there are large, empty areas of memory. Storms can cause the total
memory allocation of the world to rise quickly to 50% and when that happens,
many organisms die as a result of them being rapidly popped out of the
execution queue. On a brighter note, storms can also help spread organisms
around by temporarily allocating a large area of memory and obligating nearby
organisms to send their seeker pointers further away from their parent's address.
Organisms can then form new colonies far away from their ancestors, spreading
their species around the world. It thus seems that Salisian storms, just like
storms on Earth, act both as a destructive force and a beneficial
seeder of life.
WALKERS. In Salis, organisms are simple computer programs whose only purpose in
life is to copy themselves. Once these organisms are let out in the
world they compete fiercely for memory space and execution time. This
environmental pressure, in the context of natural selection, pushes the organisms
to evolve into smaller, more streamlined forms. Keep in mind that, the smaller an
organism is, the less space it will occupy in memory and the less CPU cycles
it will need to replicate itself. Thus, it is very common to see '55.anc' quickly
evolve into smaller forms. One example of this are parasites, which are
organisms that merely measure themselves and then execute the replication code of
an adjacent organism. However, in Salis parasites tend to become less common
later on, being replaced by more cooperative species that are oftentimes
as short as the parasites themselves, but do not depend of a host organism for
replication. These organisms are called walkers. They are short programs that
merely measure themselves and replicate once in a single direction.
Walkers form huge moving colonies that slowly drift in one direction or another.
Organisms inside these colonies share their code in order to be able to
replicate more than once while saving space and accelerating replication. We
could think of them as 'voluntary hosts' for their sibling organisms. Walker
organisms also sometimes concatenate their measuring locks and dismiss the
arithmetic operations needed to measure themselves individually. With some luck
walkers can bypass large barriers, by continuously trying to allocate on the
other side of it. The larger the number of organisms inside a walking colony, the
higher the chances are of jumping through such barriers. However, the
long-term survival of a walker colony is only ensured by its ability to split.
With a single mutation happening on its allocation gene, an entire colony can
split into two child colonies that will eventually walk away from each other.
Could we consider this multicellular reproduction?
REEFS. Reefs are non-living structures. They
appear spontaneously, and quite commonly, in Salis, and sometimes form huge
barriers of allocated, non-living and non-sensical code. To this day I do not
fully understand how reefs form. However, I do understand the way they can
persist over long periods of time. It is thanks to metabolism. As implied earlier,
metabolism allows non-living code to push itself back to the top of the execution
queue, time and time again, each time generating a new CPU that will run its
instructions. Thanks to metabolism, pieces of code can
stay intact and protected over long periods of time. These code structures
may survive until cosmic rays disintegrate them, a process that may
take millions of generations. Thus, reef barriers are metabolic
structures, they execute continuously for a very long time until they lose their
metabolic ability due to mutation. Even though they are metabolic, reefs do not
replicate. Therefore, reef barriers cannot be considered living structures, instead
being abiotic or dead.
NESTS. Nests are by far the most fascinating superstructure discovered in
Salis so far. They are comprised of metabolic, but living, organisms. These
organisms are able to exploit the power of metabolism while also having the
ability to replicate. I've called these organisms nestlings and together they
form huge static and complex colonies. These colonies contain a central layer, a
zone where nestlings are located along with their metabolic byproducts. This
central layer is surrounded by two reef barriers, one on each side, which seem
to act as protection against external threats. Nestlings have evolved the
ability to metabolize continuously by allocating tiny memory blocks, usually
one byte long, and trading them for new CPUs. These small memory blocks, also
known as metabolites, can be thought of as byproducts of metabolism, waste if you
will, and can be seen filling in the gaps between the actual nestling creatures.
Inside a nest each individual nestling can live for a very long time, just like
reefs do, thanks to their code being safely kept at the top of the execution
queue via metabolism. Thus, most nestlings will live until cosmic rays make them
unable to metabolize anymore. Lastly, thanks to metabolism nestlings are also
free to evolve into longer, more complex forms. Nestlings are almost always larger
than their original ancestor organism, and this, as simple as it sounds, is
actually the first sign of complexification, or enlargement, of a
virtual genome thanks to evolution. This enlargement goes against the more common
trend of shortening and streamlining of organisms in order to allow for more
efficient replication. Wow! We've come a long way. Thanks for staying with me
until the end of the video. I know that for many of you Salis may not be as
eye-catching as other artificial life simulations. There are no robotic agents,
no complex 2D physics, no neural networks and no artificial intelligence. SALIS,
just like Tierra, attempts to fill its ecosystem with creatures that are more
naturally bound to the physical reality of its
underlying system. In this case, the underlying system is a computer and the
creatures, computer programs. One last thing... If you enjoy these kind of videos
and if you would like me to keep working on fun artificial life projects like
Salis, please consider becoming a patron. Link for that in the description. Any
small contribution will be greatly appreciated. Make sure to give this video

biologists, very soon.

Indie Game First Look: Make Sail | Fair Winds and Following Seas! - Duration: 3:50.
Hello and welcome to a First Look at Make Sail, a physics based boat constructing simulator
with an emphasis on exploration, developed by Popcannibal and released into Steam Early
Access in March 2018.
For disclosure, I received this game for free.
The setup behind the game is a simple one.
Long ago, people gathered around a magical tower with a myriad of chimes which, for a
time, did spread calm and prosperity.
However, as other islands called to them, the people began to remove the chimes and
to sail away, after which the Tower got upset and unleashed a violent storm.
The descendants of these people then attempted to bring the chimes back to the tower but
the force of the storm was too much, sinking the fleet of ships that approached.
As a survivor of the fleet, you awaken in the eye of the storm, desperate to calm the
seas by returning said chimes.
The core loop is simply sailing the seas to the different islands, picking up chimes
and ship parts, and returning said chimes to the tower at the centre of the map.
Doing so will calm the storm a little, increasing the range of the islands that you can explore,
with I presume, the ultimate objective of returning all chimes and resolving the issue.
There isn't much more to the loop which does seem simple as of now, but the core fun
lies in the ship building.
As a physics based game, do expect your usual assortment of bugs and glitches since things
do not fit exactly right together, but I really did enjoy the sailing, modification and rebuilding
of the ships.
The tech behind the physics in this game is pretty impressive, in that there are realistic
feeling systems such as wind drag and lift, a buoyancy system and of course the rudder,
interacting in unique ways that actually make it feel more like sailing a ship
rather than in other games where ships control like cars on water.
For example, pushing the up button doesn't accelerate the ship, but rather raises the
sail.
You then have to angle and catch the wind in order to move and of course, flotation
and density of the ship plays an important role.
The game even has a handbook with some common construction tips, such as what to do if your
ship is tipping over, or where is the best location to place your sails.
Of course, physics comes into play as the designs get more complicated, and even more
interesting is in the case of sailing into an obstructions such as rocks, parts of your
ship may get destroyed but there may just be a chance it could still float and work
to some extent.
If you are not into the creative aspect, you do find parts and blueprints for pre-built
ships which do function pretty well, but I do like messing around in these sandboxes
to see what I can make.
Just look at this monstrosity for example, 3 sails, all of the flotation barrels available to me, a vertical
narwhal horn for some reason and a density greater than water which should make it sink
but somehow manages to continue sailing even while tipping forward.
Through a projected 1 year early access period, the devleopers plan to add more parts, islands,
creatures, polish and a New Game + mode, with the objective of making this the best boat
building spectacle.
From what I have played, I really enjoyed the tinkering aspect and the pure physics
based sailing experience, so I'm waiting for a more polished final product.
Anyway, that will do it for the video, thank you for watching.

form huge static and complex colonies. These colonies contain a central layer, a
zone where nestlings are located along with their metabolic byproducts. This
central layer is surrounded by two reef barriers, one on each side, which seem
to act as protection against external threats. Nestlings have evolved the
ability to metabolize continuously by allocating tiny memory blocks, usually
one byte long, and trading them for new CPUs. These small memory blocks, also
known as metabolites, can be thought of as byproducts of metabolism, waste if you
will, and can be seen filling in the gaps between the actual nestling creatures.
Inside a nest each individual nestling can live for a very long time, just like
reefs do, thanks to their code being safely kept at the top of the execution
queue via metabolism. Thus, most nestlings will live until cosmic rays make them
unable to metabolize anymore. Lastly, thanks to metabolism nestlings are also
free to evolve into longer, more complex forms. Nestlings are almost always larger
than their original ancestor organism, and this, as simple as it sounds, is
actually the first sign of complexification, or enlargement, of a
virtual genome thanks to evolution. This enlargement goes against the more common
trend of shortening and streamlining of organisms in order to allow for more
efficient replication. Wow! We've come a long way. Thanks for staying with me
until the end of the video. I know that for many of you Salis may not be as
eye-catching as other artificial life simulations. There are no robotic agents,
no complex 2D physics, no neural networks and no artificial intelligence. SALIS,
just like Tierra, attempts to fill its ecosystem with creatures that are more
naturally bound to the physical reality of its
underlying system. In this case, the underlying system is a computer and the
creatures, computer programs. One last thing... If you enjoy these kind of videos
and if you would like me to keep working on fun artificial life projects like
Salis, please consider becoming a patron. Link for that in the description. Any
small contribution will be greatly appreciated. Make sure to give this video
a like and subscribe to the channel! I'll be seeing you all, my fellow digital
biologists, very soon.

Indie Game First Look: Make Sail | Fair Winds and Following Seas! - Duration: 3:50.Hello and welcome to a First Look at Make Sail, a physics based boat constructing simulator
with an emphasis on exploration, developed by Popcannibal and released into Steam Early
Access in March 2018.
For disclosure, I received this game for free.
The setup behind the game is a simple one.
Long ago, people gathered around a magical tower with a myriad of chimes which, for a
time, did spread calm and prosperity.
However, as other islands called to them, the people began to remove the chimes and
to sail away, after which the Tower got upset and unleashed a violent storm.
The descendants of these people then attempted to bring the chimes back to the tower but
the force of the storm was too much, sinking the fleet of ships that approached.
As a survivor of the fleet, you awaken in the eye of the storm, desperate to calm the
seas by returning said chimes.
The core loop is simply sailing the seas to the different islands, picking up chimes
and ship parts, and returning said chimes to the tower at the centre of the map.
Doing so will calm the storm a little, increasing the range of the islands that you can explore,
with I presume, the ultimate objective of returning all chimes and resolving the issue.
There isn't much more to the loop which does seem simple as of now, but the core fun
lies in the ship building.
As a physics based game, do expect your usual assortment of bugs and glitches since things
do not fit exactly right together, but I really did enjoy the sailing, modification and rebuilding
of the ships.
The tech behind the physics in this game is pretty impressive, in that there are realistic
feeling systems such as wind drag and lift, a buoyancy system and of course the rudder,
interacting in unique ways that actually make it feel more like sailing a ship
rather than in other games where ships control like cars on water.
For example, pushing the up button doesn't accelerate the ship, but rather raises the
sail.
You then have to angle and catch the wind in order to move and of course, flotation
and density of the ship plays an important role.
The game even has a handbook with some common construction tips, such as what to do if your
ship is tipping over, or where is the best location to place your sails.
Of course, physics comes into play as the designs get more complicated, and even more
interesting is in the case of sailing into an obstructions such as rocks, parts of your
ship may get destroyed but there may just be a chance it could still float and work
to some extent.
If you are not into the creative aspect, you do find parts and blueprints for pre-built
ships which do function pretty well, but I do like messing around in these sandboxes
to see what I can make.
Just look at this monstrosity for example, 3 sails, all of the flotation barrels available to me, a vertical
narwhal horn for some reason and a density greater than water which should make it sink
but somehow manages to continue sailing even while tipping forward.
Through a projected 1 year early access period, the devleopers plan to add more parts, islands,
creatures, polish and a New Game + mode, with the objective of making this the best boat
building spectacle.
From what I have played, I really enjoyed the tinkering aspect and the pure physics
based sailing experience, so I'm waiting for a more polished final product.
Anyway, that will do it for the video, thank you for watching.

subreddit to keep up with the best indie games and I will see you in the next video.

Strange Things That Don't Make Sense About The Olsen Twins - Duration: 4:36.
It's safe to assume that any hope for a normal life gets dashed for people who become millionaires
before they can even walk, but Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen cranked the dial on their wacky
personal lives way up.
Though they've found massive success in the fashion world, they've also become increasingly
reclusive.
And they don't really smile... but we're getting ahead of ourselves.
Let's dive right in to the peculiar lives of Mary-Kate and Ashley, shall we?
"You got it, dude."
The Heath Ledger connection
It seems to have been forgotten over the years that Mary-Kate was somehow linked with actor
Heath Ledger's passing in 2008.
There was never any suggestion of foul play, but when Ledger's masseuse found him unconscious,
the first person she called was Mary-Kate, twice — instead of 911.
According to the Daily Mail, Mary-Kate's security team arrived at Ledger's apartment at the
same time as the ambulance.
Multiple news sources reported that Mary-Kate refused to talk to federal investigators about
Ledger's death unless she was granted immunity.
Still, her attorney denied she had anything to hide, saying in a statement,
"Mary-Kate Olsen had nothing whatsoever to do with the drugs found in Heath Ledger's
home or his body, and she does not know where he obtained them."
A source told the New York Daily News,
"The U.S. Attorney of the Southern District decided not to serve Olsen with a subpoena."
...which effectively let Olsen off the hook for any further speculation.
Sweating for art
We get that fashion isn't always meant to be functional.
Clearly that's the case for the Olsen twins, who were spotted in May 2017 stepping out
in New York City wearing what appear to be some heavy fall fashions — including a long
wool overcoat and a huge scarf.
As Refinery 29 points out, the twins were photographed walking down, quote, "a piping
hot New York sidewalk in 90-degree weather."
Either the Olsen twins have secretly been cold-blooded this whole time, or sweating
one's face off is about to be the award-winning look of the summer.
"Congratulations."
Why so serious?
At some point in their lives, the Olsen twins decided that smiling either wasn't cool or
was too off-brand for them, so they basically stopped doing it in public.
And though they rarely do red carpets, this sullen choice has resulted in countless photo-ops
where their expressions say: "We'd love to be anywhere but here."
"We are definitely attracted to that aesthetic."
There's even been zany speculation that they no longer have teeth.The 2017 MET Gala was
no exception.
Not only did the twins show up in their "signature boho-chic looks," but according to Bravo,
they ice-grilled every other megastar there.
Old is the new young
When Mary-Kate started dating Olivier Sarkozy, who is about 17 years older, eyebrows immediately
shot up.
But then they actually went the distance and got married, leading skeptics to reconsider
whether the unlikely pairing was actually a match made in heaven.
Ashley has also been connected to a string of old dudes.
According to W Magazine, she's been linked to visual artist George Condo, nearly 30 years
her senior, as well as the CEO of Oliver Peoples, David Schulte, who is 17 years older.
Ashley also had a romance with art dealer Richard Sachs, nearly 30 years her senior,
from whom she split in March 2017.
Perhaps this is just a demonstration of the fickle fashionistas having "old souls."
Mary-Kate's wedding
There are few details about the notoriously press-shy Mary-Kate's wedding, but like many
things in the eccentric twins' lives, one bizarre tidbit leaked from the nuptials that
left everyone scratching their heads.
A source told Page Six there were:
"...bowls and bowls filled with cigarettes, and everyone smoked the whole night."
Page Six also reported that guests, of which there were only 50, were required to turn
in their cellphones before a cocktail reception and indoor dinner at a private New York residence.
Missing Michelle
Portraying Michelle Tanner on Full House was the starting point for the Olsen twins' fame…
"I've been on Full House forever."
... but when the cast signed on to be in the sequel series, Fuller House, the Olsen twins
were the only ones to decline.
While it's understandable they've taken their lives in a different direction, it doesn't
seem too much to ask for the Olsens to at least make a cameo as a nod to the fans and
co-stars that cemented their lives of leisure and luxury.
The reclusive duo did sort of share their reasons for skipping the reunion.
According to show producer Bob Boyett,
"Ashley said, 'I have not been in front of a camera since I was 17, and I don't feel
comfortable acting,'" and "Mary-Kate said, It would have to be me because Ash doesn't
want to do it.
But the timing is so bad for us."
Amazingly, Full House and Fuller House creator Jeff Franklin didn't consider the snub a burned
bridge, although he did tell Us Weekly that after three years of rebuffed invitations
to join the show, he's done asking.
He added,
"But when somebody rings a doorbell, the girls yell, 'It's always open!' on the show.
So that's kind of how we feel about the Olsen twins.
The door is open."

"Don't think of me" Jason Zhang
Translation: Gloria Wu
I have been lonely for a while now
Feeling like the world is laughing at me
How proud can I be?
I am fragile, alright?
Once I touch you I fall into pieces
Escape after rousing the sleeping iceberg
You always have your methods
A faraway smile
awakens surging waves
I can smell the scent of scorching tears
You love me too
no reason why love cannot flourish
As long as you dare to stay strong
why should we miss our chance?
Night is long and dreams are plenty
Try not to think of me
Then you will know how much it hurts
Our happiness was so precious then
Can you really want to give it up?
A dream just formed
vanishes in the blink of an eye
I hope you can really sleep well
You love me too
no reason why love cannot flourish
As long as you dare to stay strong
why should we miss our chance?
Night is long and dreams are plenty
Try not to think of me
Please don't come back to apologize
Try not to
lose your mind thinking of me
You love me too
No reason why love cannot flourish
As long as you dare to stay strong
why should we miss our chance?
Night is long and dreams are plenty
Try not to think of me
You love me too
No reason why love cannot flourish
As long as you dare to stay strong
why should we miss our chance?
Night is long and dreams are plenty
Try not to think of me
Let the night guard hear how much you love me
Try not to think of me

Huawei P20 Pro // Mini Review - Better than the Galaxy S9? - Duration: 6:23.
what's up guys Matthew Mona's here and I've been using the Huawei P 20 pro for
48 hours and just got back from France I'm excited to share my mini review with
you but by no means is this a full one that will come in the coming weeks I'm
also going to provide you guys some context I'm gonna be comparing this to
the galaxy s 9 plus I feel context always tells a better story than just
talking about the device by itself now the first thing I want to talk about is
the design I really love the color scheming Holloway went with there's blue
there's pink there's a matte black and there's even a brand new Twilight color
that changes colors depending on the light dimensions are also fantastic this
is a 6.1 inch device and when you have any next to the galaxy s 9 plus it's not
nearly as tall it's also slightly thinner but it's a little bit wider now
if I was to actually say which one's more comfortable in the head I'd have to
give it to the p20 probe the more rounded edges feel more comfortable to
hold and the fact that there's no edge in general just makes it a lot easier to
type on so let's just get the elephant out of the room right away
there's a notch on this device and you guys absolutely know how I feel about
notches I don't like them but there is hope holly has introduced a feature that
allows you to disable the knotch I think it's a great idea
Android 8.0 is just not optimized to handle notches if the application itself
hasn't been optimized things just look really off now here's the weird thing
this is a glass device the back is made out of glass and usually put glass on a
smartphone you usually incorporate wireless charging it's all in the big
flagship devices so I don't understand why it's not on the p20 Pro in fact it
wasn't even on the make 10 pro the only way to get wireless charging on a
high-end flagship device from Huawei is to buy the Porsche mate RS there's no
headphone jack on it which Bobby took away last year so kind of expected but
you'll notice how perfectly symmetrical this device is when you compare it to
the iPhone 10 when you compare it to the Samsung Galaxy S 9 plus the ports line
up a lot better I mean you look at the back of the s9 plus the ports are not
centered the headphone jacks a little bit too far one way the USB type-c
connector is also too far one way and the speakers are not lined up now this
is not a big deal this is not gonna stop you from buying
the phone I'm only mentioning this is because it shows how much more details
were always putting into their design another interesting point is the fact
that there's no more fingerprint scanner on the back of the device while we took
it and put it on the front it's there it's comfortable if you can use it to
take you home and it's also really flush with the screen so you kind of don't
feel a bump or an intrusion in it but if you don't like using a fingerprint
scanner there's also face unlock I don't think it's nearly as secure as the one
on the iPhone 10 but my god is it ever fast I did a comparison in my live
stream a few days ago comparing it to the s 9 plus and it completely smokes it
out of the water stereo speakers are still there right on
the earpiece and the bottom of the phone now it's not as good as the S 9 plus or
iPhone 10 in terms of sound quality but still much better than having a mono
speaker in general the display is 6.1 inches it's all that and has a
resolution of 20 to 80 by 1080 so it's not quite q HD but it's F HD plus it
looks fine it's not the best display for an AMOLED panel and it's probably using
one of Samsung's inferior ones it's definitely better than the one on the
pixel 2 XL but obviously not as good as the one on the galaxy s 9 plus when you
compare them both you can see how much brighter how much more vivid how much
deeper the blacks are on the Galaxy device but overall it's still a very
good display the biggest feature of this device is obviously the camera this
thing has a 40 megapixel sensor on it that takes great photos there's a 20
megapixel monochrome sensor so it shoots black and white and when you pair it
with that big 40 megapixel RGB sensor you get some great results but also
there's a telephoto lens and that telephoto lens goes up to three times
zoom that's one more than the galaxy s 9 and iPhone 10 now I don't know if this
is the best camera on the market I haven't done a full comparison yet but
I'm going to but what I do know is nighttime photography is hands-down the
best on this device some of the night shots I took look absolutely insane I've
never seen this good of quality on a smartphone before but Holly does apply a
lot of image processing on their photos just like other manufacturers they
really do bump up the contrast and the vibrancy of the photos and because it's
using artificial intelligence it's able to detect what you're taking a picture
of for example we took a picture of a blue sky the phone detected it and
completely cranked up the Blues in the photo it looked good on the screen but
once we brought it in to post it was just way too oversaturated the next
thing was a video in 1080p there's optical image stabilization electrical
image stabilization and you think called artificial intelligence
image stabilization this is always new technology they're providing three ways
to stabilize the footage in 1080p when walking down the street it looked
absolutely awesome definitely comparable to the pixel two but when you bumped it
up to 4k one of those image stabilization processes were completely
removed in terms of software it's running Android 8.1 which is above the
galaxy s 9 and I'm just hoping that hallway updates their phones a little
bit quicker in the future I mean everything is what you expect it's using
mui 8.1 so if you've used the version from last year it looks a lot like the
iPhone 10 bigger boxy icons you have to enable the app drawer but you do get
Google Assistant when you swipe to the right battery life is absolutely nuts
with this phone four thousand milliamp so I'm easily getting six hours of
screen on time in comparison with the galaxy s 9 plus I'm only getting about
four I have zero issues of battery anxiety I don't have to worry about my
phone need to be topped up throughout the day I can make it from 5 a.m. in the
morning to midnight and still have about 20 to 30% battery life left so here are
my closing thoughts the Huawei P 20 Pro has fantastic performance the keren 970
may not benchmark as high as a snapdragon 845 but in day-to-day use it
runs much better than the galaxy s 9 plus I do love this camera this camera
is amazing it has the possibility of being one of the better cameras of 2018
but more testing has to be done I do like the design I do like the fact that
I can disable the knotch I do wish the dual speakers were slightly a little bit
better I do wish there was wireless charging
and the software is either hit or miss you either love it or hate it but it's
definitely no stock Android so stay tuned for my full review subscribe so
you can be one of the first people to see it let me know what you guys think

10 Times Gordon Ramsay Ate EXOTIC FOOD! (Part 2) - Duration: 12:50.
Gordon Ramsay travels the world in search of the best food and the best tastes imaginable,
partly to expand his knowledge of food, but also so we can follow him and explore cuisine
too.
Ramsay's ability to stomach almost anything means he will try all kinds of exotic food,
so much so that we had to make two videos!
Ten just wasn't enough, so don't forget to see part 1 by following the link in the
description.
So, on with part 2!
Wild Boar War
Who doesn't love a barbecue, especially when it's covered in pork!
This dish is special, as you get paid to eat it!
Who wouldn't want that?
Ramsay sets out to hunt some wild boar that are plaguing the American countryside.
With the help of some soldiers, a war is declared on the elusive wild boar - or in this case,
not so elusive.
With a $40 bounty on their heads, these pigs are in the sights of Ramsay and his military
mate, Major Bobby Toon.
It doesn't look good Ramsay.
After finally working out how to fire a gun, Ramsay scores a few bullseyes with the rifle
but just can't get to grips with the handgun.
"Sod the Pistol".
The next morning at 6am they begin their hunt by tracking down a hog by following its poop.
On the floor and on the trees, Ramsay enjoys a good smell before realizing he's sniffing
pig butt.
Delicious.
Ironically, it is Ramsay's bad smell that scares off the hogs so they resort to trapping
one.
Once it has been killed and washed in the creek, they get to butchering it in the wild.
Shoulders, Filet, Tenderloin, Ribs, and Hams - Ramsay cuts them all as Major Bobby Toon
points out the mountain oysters - much to Ramsay's disgust.
After boiling the ribs in a stock, Ramsay makes his own barbecue sauce and grills them
for a squad of hungry American soldiers to devour.
As the British would say, "put more pork on your fork!"
Good riddance to bad hog, eh boys?
Before we move on to more Gordon goodness.

Babble Top.
Now Back to the show.
Thai Spicy Sausage
Sausages are a breakfast staple.
Served with eggs, this humble meaty morsel is a favorite across the world.
However, in Thailand, things get a little spicy as you might expect.
When Ramsay visited Chiang Mai, he was told he had to try the local spicy sausage delicacy
- Sai Oua.
This sausage is packed with chilies and herbs galore - and boy can you tell.
After some concerns that Ramsay was there to steal her secret recipes, Auntie Rot was
finally convinced to take him out back and show him how it was made.
Filling a grinder with hundreds of chilies, Ramsay looks nervous as he adds shallots,
garlic, and Thai herbs.
Out come the intestines that need to be filled and Ramsay begins to gag once again.
At this point, Ramsay throws away his notes, much to Auntie Rot's pleasure!
Trying to fill the intestines with the spicy pork filling leaves Ramsay dropping the food
on the floor and Auntie Rot laughing at him from behind.
Poor Ramsay… never again.
A Cuddly Puffin Snack
Ramsay heads to Iceland to try some puffin - much to bird lovers' dismay.
After grilling the local chefs about puffin meat, he decided to go out grill one himself.
Before you get upset, in Iceland puffins are eaten daily.
They are a staple dish, and only the best air fishers can catch them.
Before heading out Ramsay makes a bread that is baked in the volcanic ash underground for
a night - pretty cool!
The next morning Ramsay and Oli head out to practice their air fishing skills.
The first catch is traditionally released, so Ramsay tries to give it a kiss and almost
gets his nose pecked right off!
This lucky bird is soon released, although Ramsay probably wanted to cook it up right
there and then.
It takes Ramsay three hours to catch his first bird.
Talk about staying in the kitchen!
When he finally does, he almost falls off a cliff!
As Ramsay and Oli skin their birds, Oli takes a raw heart and chews it down - and poor Ramsay
follows suit, nicknaming Oli Hannibal under his breath.
Well done Gordon - you're a braver soul than any of us!
When preparing to cook, Ramsay found out his bread was stolen overnight… or maybe he
just forgot where he buried it.
Luckily for him, Oli had a bread at hand and they enjoyed a delicious puffin dinner with
a yogurt cucumber salad and grilled vine tomatoes.
Much better than the raw heart earlier, eh Oli...or was that Hannibal?
Thai Style Oysters - They're Spicy!
Back in Thailand, a topless Ramsay heads out on a boat to catch some oysters.
Hot stuff, Ramsay.
After grabbing a haul of fresh gooey oysters, he heads to a shack to cook.
His fellow chef teaches him how to make a traditional hot and sour soup that is filled
with fish and spices.
Gordon then is instructed to make a paste, mashing together Thai herbs and chili.
"Bang bang until smooth,' she tells him, "More Bang Bang!"
- Ramsay is not here for the bang-bang, auntie, he is here for the food!
Dipping his little finger in, he tastes the spicy dip before coughing again at the spiciness!
Gordon cannot handle his spice it seems!
After shucking some oysters, he enjoys them raw and fresh with the spicy sauce and washes
it down with the hot and sour fish soup.
Not bad for a day at the beach, eh, Gordon?!
Farmed Caviar - Is it as good?
Caviar is one of the finest and most prestigious foods in the entire world.
Ramsay describes them as individual pearls exploding in your mouth - "absolutely delicious"
- calm down Ramsay!
Caviar is, however, a rare ingredient and with sturgeon fish going extinct, Ramsay heads
to Spain to try out farmed caviar - and he is not convinced.
Despite the owner claiming the caviar tastes better, Ramsay needs to try it for himself,
so he heads out to the farm and catches his own.
After grabbing a mother that is almost 20 years old, they give it an ultrasound to check
her eggs.
What a proud mother.
After heading to the operation theatre, the female fish are ready to have the eggs extracted,
and they put Ramsay in charge of the scalpel.
Is that what you ask all the ladies, Gordon?
Naughty boy.
After the eggs are extracted, they are seasoned with salt and left to mature for four months.
One fish can have up to 10,000 British pounds worth of caviar - an incredible haul.
After all that, however, Gordon goes and puts his caviar in a potato salad.
Hmm… interesting choice.
Torpedo Soup
While on a great escape in Malaysia, Ramsay meets with two bikers who love to bike around
and find the most exotic food to eat.
When they visited a small market, they ordered Ramsay a bowl of Torpedo Soup.
The bikers try to subtly tell Ramsay that the torpedo is exactly what he thinks it is…
yep, it's a bull's penis.
Whipping out the elongated penis, Ramsay gets to work.
ouch ouch.
I bet all the ladies tell you that, Gordon!
The story goes that the penis brings strength to the men that eat it and make them last
longer in the sack.
Ramsay surely doesn't need any of this but he was gracious and gave it a try.
Flavored with cloves and cinnamon, the soup was actually delicious.
It's hard to tell what Ramsay is blown away by more, the long bull penis or the delicious
soup.
Number One Thailand - Pat Krapao
Back to Thailand, Gordon discovers the real official Thai dish, and it's not Pad Thai.
Mister whiskers throw everything into the wok and gets to work creating arguably the
best Thai dish out there - Pat Krapao.
Sweet and sour, this basil-rich dish is all the rage in Thailand, especially with a fried
egg on top!
Unconvinced, Ramsay tucks in and is pleasantly surprised!
See Gordon, not all exotic food has to be weird, some of it is actually good!
Bird's Nest Soup
Eating exotic doesn't always mean eating cheap.
Flying all the way to Malaysia's Borneo, Gordon admits to NEVER eating a real birds
nest soup!
Call him a fine dining chef…
On the hunt to try it fresh, he meets with a villager from a local tribe that takes him
into the jungle and helps him harvest the nest from a dark cave.
The nests are taken after the birds have left their nests so no chicken kiev and a fried
egg to go with this soup!
Malaysia exports these nests to China, where birds nest soup is said to improve your lifespan
after an ancient Chinese emperor named it 'longevity soup'.
Click like if you want longevity for Ramsay!
Today, these exports are worth five million pounds a year!
That's a sh*t load of birds nests, as Ramsay would say!
Almost falling down into the cave… whoops…
Ramsay begins to think this is not the best ideas when he catches a whiff of bat sh*t
and asks if the taste is worth it!
His guide quickly confirms that, no, he has never eaten bat sh*t - what a donut!
Deeper into the cave and at risk of a bat dropping a fresh one in his mouth, he reverts
back to his good old ways - "I hope this tastes f*cking amazing".
At the top of a 100m high cave, Ramsay and his guides head up a bamboo ladder that he
hopes can hold his weight.
"I hope it can hold 15 stone".
At the top of the ladder, tempers begin to fray as he is greeted by a massive spider.
After all that, he heads back to a shack where an auntie boils the nest in water and adds
some sugar.
You can tell by the look on Ramsay's face that it really wasn't worth all that effort…
So much for a hot and spicy soup.
All he was left with was a bowl of boiled woven bird spit… yum.
"Doesn't make sense".
Ramsay Goes Vegi in India
To end this list, we meet Gordon on his final leg of his Great Escape as he re-visits India
to discover their most popular dishes.
As he visits a vegetarian restaurant, Ramsay sits through a lecture about how eating too
much meat makes you bad-tempered.
Looks like she's right, Gordon!
Ordering the most popular vegetarian dish in India, Gordon better be on his best behavior.
Idili Sambar and Roll Dosa Pancake.
Mixing the idili in a spicy sambar soup, Ramsay begins to have his heart changed about vegetarian
cuisine.
See Gordon, vegetarian food is good for your soul.
But please don't go full-on vegetarian, otherwise, Hell's kitchen may turn into
heaven's kitchen.
Halfway through his dinner, Ramsay is invited to spend a week in a temple, eating only vegetarian
food with a bunch of monks.
Needless to say, we all know what meat-fueled response he gave.
Stuffed Frog in Cambodia
Although Gordon Ramsay can be a bit of a drama queen in the kitchen, he doesn't shy away
from getting down and dirty when out on tour.
When Chef Ramsay heads to the lagoons in Cambodia to hunt frogs, the first thing he sees is
a snakeskin.
Flashbacks to Vietnam maybe Lucky for him, the owner of this snakeskin is long gone.
Phew!
Frogs are on the menu for dinner tonight, but first, he has to catch one!
His Cambodian hunter friend soon shoots and nabs dozens of frogs that are just begging
to be stuffed.
Killed, gutted and skinned, the frog meat is then finely chopped.
Ramsay does a good job until he is told twice to stop!
Making mends by stuffing the frogs very well, they set to grilling them.
They say the French love frogs, but Cambodians seem to love them more - with a "très bon"
from the dinner guests.
Well done, Gordon!
So, Gordon wows us again with another ten of the most exotic foods he has ever tried.

How to Copy (almost) Any Object - Duration: 18:38.
Hello and welcome back to Switch and Lever!
I'm sure I am not alone in having some precious objects around me which I wish I had more
of.
If only there was a way to copy physical objects in a similar way to sticking it into a copy
machine and hitting print.
Surprisingly, it may not be terribly much more complicated than that.
In this video we will go through the steps involved with scanning a physical object all
the way through holding the copy of it in our hands.
So come on, let's get going!
Comparing copying something flat, like a photo, through a regular copy machine and copying
a physical object is fairly similar.
You first have to scan the object you wish to copy, and secondly you need to print it
out.
First step is scanning.
Various technologies to do 3D scanning have been around for quite some time, but unfortunately
most technologies for highly accurate 3d scanning are very expensive, and require highly specialized
tools.
I have used a couple of these methods in the past when scanning my own head, something
which I used to CNC mill my own coin in a previous video on this channel, as well as
done other fun stuff with.
Fortunately for us there have been great advances made in methods which require no specialized
equipment beyond a decent camera.
In this video I will focus on copying two objects, one small, a ring, and one larger,
a mannequin head, each with their own challenges.
The first, and coincidentally free method, as long as you have a camera, is photogrammetry.
Photogrammetry is the technology of constructing 3D geometry from photographs.
We'll use software to analyze photos of our object to be copied, and the software will
measure and match photos with each other until it hopefully understands how the 3D geometry
of our object fits together.
I say hopefully, because it is dependant on having good photos of your object, from every
conceivable angle.
You really want to make sure you're capturing every little nook and cranny, especially so
if your object is intricate.
A rule of thumb is to try to photograph every point of the object from at least three different
angles, to give the software a good chance of triangulating different points on your
object and successfully constructing 3D geometry.
Photogrammetry works great on slightly bigger objects, like this mannequin head, but can
be used on a much larger scale as well.
When you're taking your photos there are some important things to consider though.
Some tips while taking photos of your object Work in good even lighting
Shoot with small aperture (for crisper photos) Make sure your photos are in focus
Avoid reflective objects (as reflections will vary depending on your angle)
Avoid shadowing your object (as that can cause issues with matching photos together)
Once we have our photos, what do we actually do with them?
I mentioned software just a short while ago, and there are a few really good photogrammetry
packages out there.
The most popular one is probably Agisoft PhotoScan, and if you're curious about it they do offer
a 30 day trial, but after that will charge quite an exorbitant amount of money for continued
use.
Autodesk also offers a software called Recap which also has a free trial, and uses cloud
based analysis, but after the trial comes with a monthly subscription cost.
I started the process of scanning with Autodesk ReCap, but soon moved over to a more recent
addition to the photogrammetry scene called 3DF Zephyr.
Luckily enough they offer a completely free version of their software, and it is truly
amazing!
The free version does have some limitations, like the amount of photos per project is limited
to 50, but for most simpler objects that's going to be more than enough.
If you're interested in diving deeper into different photogrammetry software look at
the Wikipedia article linked in the description, as the selection of software is vast.
The mannequin head that I scanned took quite a few tries to get right, for many reasons.
It's actually easier for the software to scan something that's not completely smooth, something
with more defining features, than what this head was.
The more detail or texture there is the more unique points the software will find.
The plastic of the head was also a bit too reflective to get a good result.
I tried different ways of rectifying that, such as painting the head with a matte primer
and adding sticky dots to give more defining features.
Even though the results were better it still had a lot of issues.
I tried rotating the head on a lazy suzan instead of moving the camera, and tried to
mask the background completely away.
Even though my results left something to be desired, masking is a method which is proven
to work.
Check out Niels Provos' recent video on copying an antique axe head where he successfully
uses this method.
The full video is linked in the description.
Another method to use is to set up an array of cameras around the object, and trigger
them all at once.
This is especially useful with objects which won't stand perfectly still, but on the downside
requires a lot of cameras.
This is being used right now in 3D photobooths, to which you can go, get scanned and have
a miniature copy of yourself made.
Continuing with the head, I even ended up drawing small dots all over, and when that
failed tried connecting them with lines, to create enough points for matching.
Even though quality mostly continued to improve they still were spectacular failures.
In some ways the failures are more interesting than the final result, and you could definitely
use these failed scans for artistic purposes if you were so inclined.
What did end up working was spattering the whole head with both white and black spray
paint, to give a random painted texture over the head.
The results also started getting a lot better once I switched over to using 3DF Zephyr.
It's not immediately visible right here, but up close the detail is quite a lot higher
with 3DF Zephyr compared to Autodesk ReCap.
The mesh is more than ten times more dense.
The results after this process was simply better than I expected going into this!
3DF Zephyr has a fairly easy learning curve.
You drop your photos into the software, and let it match the photos to each other and
calculate what is called a sparse point cloud, which is basically matched points between
the photos.
From this sparse point cloud it will further calculate a dense point cloud, and finally
from this point cloud will create a 3D mesh with your geometry, even with textures if
you so desire.
Prepare to let your computer do quite a lot of heavy lifting, so go and make a coffee
and read a good book while it's computing all the 3D data.
I'm not going into all the little details of how to use the program, but a healthy dose
of experimenting ought to set you on the right path.
If everything went well your geometry should be pretty close to your object.
It's quite likely that the result has some issues though, like holes in the geometry,
or things being completely distorted, sometimes with hilarious results.
For some things, like smaller holes, 3DF Zephyr has tools to fix, for others there's no choice
but going back and taking better photos or spending a lot of time in a 3D modeling software.
In fact, when you're starting out you're probably going to find yourself going back and redoing
the photography several times until you get a result you're happy with and start developing
a method you know works for you and with your equipment.
This is of course not the only thing you can scan using this method, any object that's
roughly the size of a fist and bigger ought to work great, provided you can get around
the object and take photos from multiple angles.
This method has been used extensively to capture architectural features, like this entryway
to where I used to work.
Or this stone step, with every little detail caught.
You don't even need an amazing camera to capture decent results, like this rock nearby where
I used to live, which was put together from just ten photos taken with an iPhone, in just
a few seconds.
Or this face which came from a facade in Stockholm's old city was also captured with an iPhone
camera.
If you have access to a remote controlled helicopter you could even do video shoots
of your house from different angles and use the same software to piece it together into
a model of your house.
This house model came from a website called Sketchfab which has a lot of 3d photogrammetry
models available for download from their users.
I highly recommend to check it out, just follow the link in the description of this video.
Once you start seeing the world with 3D scanning eyes you start to realize that the sky is
the limit, and almost anything can be 3D scanned, whether it should be 3D scanned or not.
And with that, I bring you, bread!
Why would you scan bread?
Why wouldn't you scan bread?
The whole reason I actually started this project was because I wanted to copy a very special
object, a plastic ring I've had since I was a kid.
I think I got this (and a few like it) from a chewing gum machine well over 25 years ago.
I loved this ring, but it's made of plastic and my fingers just aren't the size they were
when I was a kid.
To make a long story short, I wanted to copy this, so I once again could wear my childhood
ring.
I tried, repeatedly, to use photogrammetry to get this ring scanned.
The reflective surface obviously wouldn't work, but neither did painting it with a gray
primer, and neither did giving it a little structure.
It was time to turn to another method.
Another very popular method of scanning is structured light scanning, where you usually
pass a laser line over an object and use a camera to interpret how that line bends over
the object.
There are more budget variants to use this, even some homebrew hacks where you can build
your own scanner.
At my previous place of employment I was lucky enough to find an old NextEngine 3D scanner
hidden away in a dusty corner and managed to get it up and running again.
This has a few years on it, and newer ones produce a bit better results, mainly due to
better cameras, but this was sufficient for what I needed.
It constructs a point cloud, similarly to what 3DF Zephyr does from photos.
The strength is that you can easily scan once, reposition the item being scanned and scan
again, to get all angles of your item.
Then you can merge all of these in the software.
Bear in mind that this method still has the same limitations as before when it comes to
reflective surfaces, so priming or dusting the object with talcum powder may be a good
idea.
NextEngine's 3D scanner is just one such scanner on the market, and it does cost a pretty penny.
However, if you need really high quality meshes using structured light scanning technology
may be the only way to go.
There's a good comparison of different methods on the NextEngine website, which shows what
you can expect from each method.
Unfortunately though they don't really compare it to better photogrammetry methods, like
Agisoft Photoscan, or 3DF Zephyr.
Also, the open source community is working on exciting things in this field, like the
FreeLSS platform, which is essentially an open source, 3D printed, laser line scanner,
based on Raspberry Pi.
All the material you need is open source, so if you want to experiment with it yourself,
do check it out!
You can actually do proper laser 3D scanning as well, using LIDAR sensors and essentially
measuring the time for the laser to bounce from the emitter and back to your sensor.
It's generally not something that's commonly used for the kind of scanning that we're doing
in this video, but is common when measuring elevation and creating topographical maps.
If you want to experiment at least with the source material from such scans a lot of the
earth is available for download in various Digital Elevation Map formats.
With them you can create 3D topographic maps, to use for visualization or similar things
which we will do later in this video.
Back to the ring, and as you can see the result of the scan was still not perfect, but compared
what I got from doing photogrammetry it was like night and day.
The result from the scanner may seem quite rough, but aside from the holes where the
scanner couldn't reach, it is a pretty accurate representation of the original ring, as the
plastic itself isn't all that high definition and has plenty of small bumps and mold lines.
So, there is still plenty of work to be done.
which is mostly true regardless of 3d scanning method.
The more care you take in the scanning the less issues you have to fix afterwards.
Either way there may be noise in the scan, disjointed parts, holes or other geometries
which need to be fixed.
As you can see the skull ring still has some major issues, but most is there.
Using a software package like Zbrush or Sculptris, which allows you to sculpt 3D geometry rather
than use traditional 3d modeling tools you can fix these geometries and smooth the surfaces.
I cleaned up the ring, smoothed some areas and increased the definition in others, until
the ring looked the way I wanted to.
Sure, it was not an exact representation of the plastic ring I wore as a child, but it
definitely shares provenance.
Right now, regardless of which method you used, still all we have is some 3D geometry
in the computer, but I think you can easily figure out how to get it back into the physical
world.
That's right, through the wonders of 3D printing!
First of all let's tackle the head.
Once I had cleaned it up after the scanning I simply pushed it out in ABS plastic on a
Flashforge Dreamer 3D printer, and indeed it came out pretty nice.
Just copying something may be fun, but you could also do more interesting things with
it.
I did some modeling and reprinted the head, making a snazzy USB flash drive from it.
Stupidly I didn't take into account how thin my computer is, but eh such is life.
If you don't have access to a 3D printer yourself there are services, such as Shapeways, which
happily will print your models for you in a variety of materials.
I've used Shapeways plenty of times in the past, so it's no surprise I'm a fan, but I
have no affiliation with them and my endorsement is entirely from my own experience.
In a previous video, making a branding iron, I demoed how you can 3d print steel with Shapeways,
but since we're making a ring something a bit more sparkly is definitely more aprorpriate.
This time around we're printing in silver.
Well, that's kind of a misuse of the term.
Shapeways will actually print it in wax, and then use the wax to cast a silver piece for
you.
The process may not be the cheapest, but it's an entirely custom part, and for that it's
not terribly expensive.
Try going to a jeweler and getting a custom piece like this made and see what it will
cost.
Quite frankly, I couldn't be happier.
The ring fits and feels amazing, and while it arrived to my doorstep highly polished
and reflective given a couple of months of use it's tarnished beautifully, and got an
amazing depth to it.
I know wearing a skull ring may be seen as tacky by some, but hey, live and let live
huh?
Of course, you can choose to print things out in other metals, or plastics, even colored
or transparent plastic if that catches your fancy more.
Remember the scanned bread from before?
Yep, you could even have a piece of 3d printed bread, though I wouldn't recommend eating
it, even though it is gluten free.
I will actually be giving away this 3d print to one lucky instagram follower, so be sure
to head on over to the Switch & Lever instagram account for more information and rules for
the giveaway.
Come on, you know you want this absolutely unique piece of Switch & Lever memorabilia!
That's really all there is to it, if you have a camera you can start experimenting with
photogrammetry today already.
Download 3DF Zephyr, photograph your favourite thing, sleeping person, an unsuspecting pet,
your house, or whatever else floats your boat, and print and scatter copies of the weirdest
things imaginable all around.
Thank you so much for watching, I really hope you enjoyed this much longer than usual video,
and maybe also learned a thing or two.
Even so, there are plenty of other videos on this channel, why don't you give one or
thirty eight of them a look?
Remember to head on over to instagram and enter the raffle for the 3d printed bread.
You could be the lucky winner!
Until next time!

Sony XB21 Review & VS Sony XB20 - Well, At Least Its Durable - Duration: 8:23.
Just like the Sony XB31, the Sony 21 is a refined version of the previous XB20.
I really like the new design and durability improvements found on the XB31 and XB41.
But unfortunately, I don't think the new design langue carried over very well to the
XB21.
Don't get me wrong… its still good, but I prefer the looks of the XB20 over the XB21.
The Sony XB21 is the smallest and most affordable speaker in Sony's newest portable bluetooth
speaker line up.
It currently retails for $99.99 and it comes in 4 color ways black blue red or white.
The older Sony XB20 is now going for as low as 70 bucks.
If you want to pick up either of these speakers I'll have a link in the description below
and if you use the link it really helps out the channel.
Personally I would pick up an XB20 before they're gone and I highly suggest you check
out the XB21 cause sony products routinely go on sale so you never know.
Under the hood, the Sony XB21 is rocking very similar internals to the Sony XB20.
They're both using bluetooth 4.2, they both charge via a micro USB cable, and they both
have an AUX jack.
They both also have 1.65 inch diameter transducers and dual passive radiators that shoot out
the front and out the back.
Both of these speakers also feature a light feature on the front, but they look and perform
very differently.
Both the light features on the Sony XB31 and XB41 have been improved from their previous
generations, they're much more vibrant and they look much better.
But on the other hand, I feel the light feature on the XB21 doesn't look nearly as good
as the XB20.
The light feature on the XB20 is much easier to see and it much more dramatic.
Just like the XB31 and XB41, the XB21 now has a fabric outer shell.
But I don't think the XB21 looks as good as its larger brothers, due to its proportions
and how visible the light strip is… it kind of looks like a rectangular baseball to me.
Personally I prefer the pill shaped industrial look the XB20 has with its exposed speakers,
painted metal grill on the front, and soft touch body.
I know looks are completely subjective so comment down below with which design you prefer.
But the XB21's new shape does give it the ability to stand up straight while the XB20
can only be laid flat.
Ok, now that I've ranted about the XB21's design lets talk about its improvements over
the XB20.
In general, Sony's new speakers are way more durable than its older speakers.
The Sony XB20 is just IPX5 rated so a splash over water here and there isn't going to
be a problem.
But you should still take it easy on the XB20… you shouldn't submerge it and I would try
to avoid getting sand in it.
The XB21 on the other hand is IP67 rated, so its dust proof, its water proof and it
also floats and sony also claims that its shock proof as well now.
Having all of this extra durability is always a very welcomed feature for small portable
speakers.
Battery life is also pretty much the same between these two speakers.
Both of these speakers advertise a battery life of 12 hours but only expect to achieve
that if you're playing music at 50% and with the light feature turned off.
Real work use with the light feature turned on and with the volume set at 80% I was able
to get 6 hours of battery life before the speakers started interrupting the music by
saying please charge every 30 seconds… ok lets get the sound test going!
Unlike the Sony XB30 and Sony XB31 which sound exactly the same in their default settings,
I actually think the Sony XB20 sounds better than the XB21 when they both have the extra
bass feature turned on.
Both of these speakers have the same amount of bass, but I feel the sound is much fuller
and the mids and vocalist are much more pronounced on the XB20 than on the XB21.
And for those who might not be familiar with Sony's Extra Bass line up, these speakers
are on the warmer side so they're going to be better for hip hop, rap or EDM cause
they put a lot of emphasis on the bass.
If you listen to pop, rock, or anything that has an emphasis on vocals then you might think
these speakers sound muddy.
But if you head over to Sony's music center app you will find a sound mode called live
sound.
And live sound is different from just having the extra bass feature turned off.
With live sound on turned on the Bass on the XB21 is lowered a little bit, mids and vocalists
get pushed to the front and the treble is increased a little bit.
This is the setting you want to use if you're not listening to a lot of rap.
Unfortunately the XB20 doesn't have this setting but you can always just change the
equalizer settings on either of these speakers through the App.
When listening to a podcast I usually like to turn off the extra bass feature on the
XB20.
And it super easy you literally just press the extra bass button.
The XB21 doesn't have a dedicated Extra bass button anymore but you can still turn
the feature off by pressing and holding the Play and Minus button at the same until the
power indicator light turns green.
And to turn the extra bass feature back on all you have to do is press and hold the Play
and minus button again until the light turns white again.
Regarding connectivity both of these speakers have the same wireless range of about 50 feet
and they both have surprisingly very little latency when watching video.
Now you can connect up to 100 sony speakers which sony calls wireless party chain, anything
from the XB20 all the way up to the XB90 and they'll all play in sync… and the newer
XB21 connects to the XB20 with no problems.
If you want to learn how to pair these speakers up watch my tutorial.
But if you want to get left and right stereo sound going then you need to have 2 of the
same speakers.
Unfortunately the XB20 and XB21 wont play in stereo mode, only in sync.
Sony's app also allows you to play around with the light feature found on both of these
speakers and you have the same three options.
Theres Rave where the lights will flash to the beat of your music, theres chill where
the lights will gradually blink on and off and theres strobe.
But unlike the larger Sony speakers, the light feature on the XB20 and XB21 doesn't change
colors.
And like I mentioned earlier…
I feel the light feature on the older XB20 looks much better than the one
on the XB21.
Personally, I still like the XB20 more than the XB21.
I feel it looks much better than the XB21 and I think it sounds slightly better than
the XB21 right out of the box.
But the XB21 is much more durable than the XB20 which was kind of its achilles heel when
comparing it to
the JBL Flip 4.
The XB21 is ok but I think you're better off getting the XB20 before they're gone
or spend the extra 50 bucks and get the XB31, you cant go wrong
with the XB31.

Plumber Feels Bump In Water, Sees Tiny Foot Float To Surface. That's When He Starts Pulling - Duration: 3:12.
Plumber Feels Bump In Water, Sees Tiny Foot Float To Surface.
That's When He Starts Pulling
Angelo Mondragon was just planning on spending a relaxing day at the lake with his family.
He had no idea that by the end of the day he would have saved a little girl's life
and thousands would be hailing him a hero.
Angelo, a plumber from Fort Collins, Colorado, was spending the weekend at Windsor Lake with
his family.
He waded out into the water and was about waist deep when he felt something bump against
his leg.
Startled, he kicked at whatever it was, and that's when he saw something the left him
cold – a tiny foot had floated up to the surface of the water.
"It felt like something you normally wouldn't feel in the water," he recalled.
"I did sort of a back kick to bring up whatever it was, and then I saw the bottom of a baby's
foot float up."
Immediately he grabbed the foot and pulled the toddler – a little girl – out of the
water while he screamed for her family and for someone to call 9-1-1.
"I grabbed her and carried her limp body to the shore," he said.
"The girl was already blue.
She wasn't breathing."
Angelo began to perform CPR on the little girl and two off-duty nurses rushed to help
as they waited for emergency crews to arrive.
The little girl, 3-year-old Sitlali Hernandez, was rushed to the children's hospital in
Aurora.
Miraculously, doctors were able to save her.
Angelo was able to visit Sitlali and her grateful parents in the hospital and was happy to see
the little girl in good condition.
He said he is thankful he was in the right place at the right time.
"If I was not in that right spot at the right time, it could have been a search and
rescue mission," Mondragon said.
Since Sitlali's near-drowning, Angelo has made it his mission to ensure something like
this never happens again.
The CDC reports that "from 2005-2014, there were an average of 3,536 fatal unintentional
drownings (non-boating related) annually in the United States."
That comes out to about 10 deaths every day.
One in five of those deaths are children 14 years old and younger, and for every child
who dies from drowning, another five receive emergency care for injuries related to near-drowning.
Angelo knows that if Sitlali had been wearing a life vest that day, the situation could
have been much different, so now he is working with local residents and businesses to collect
life vests for those who don't have them or can't afford to buy them.
While a life vest is not a substitute for a parent or guardian's supervision, accidents
do happen, and it could mean the difference between life and death.
Many people have been hailing Angelo a hero for what he did that day, but the humble man
says he just did what he hopes anyone else would do.
"As I told the little girl's mom," he said, "when I saw the baby's toes that
became my baby."
Do you agree that Angelo is a hero?
So share this!

Turning Points and Timing | Felix Zulauf Outtake | Real Vision Video - Duration: 9:46.
Felix Zulauf is one of the true legends of the investment industry and a man I've been
waiting to meet in person for almost a decade.
Over the course of a day in Naples Florida, I was treated to a fascinating look inside
the mind of a man whose made bold calls and demonstrated an uncanny knack of identifying
big turning points in markets and then capitalizing on them.
Not all of what we talked about made it into the final cut of our conversation but that
certainly doesn't mean that what was left out is any less valuable, here's a little
look at what was a truly wonderful conversation.
Market timers tend to be early by 6 months to a year, sometimes more, particularly in
this cycle because as we've talked about, it's been elongated.
But '87 you were early by a matter of days, Japan you were early by almost a matter of
hours and the Telco, dotcom you were right there in 2000.
In terms of spotting turning points coming, but watching for that moment at which to actually
do something about it, are there any particular signs that you look for that make you say
"OK".
What was it about January 2000 and what was it about September 87, and what was it about
the beginning of 1990 in Japan?
Because there's something going on here that's remarkably close to those turning points.
Well, first of all, it's the fundamental framework when the monetary liquidity situation begins
to tighten you know you are close to a turning point.
And then its a timing question, then you go to your timing tools, that's technical analysis.
So then you do your trend analysis, and you measure the trends.
Will the trends begin to mature, and lose power?
And you work closer to that point where it turns.
You can still make mistakes but that's how I work, the trend and momentum.
You know valuation is crazy at that point.
You see the monetary situation is detereorating, then you go to your technical tools, and trend
and momentum is what I use and then somehow the days before something crazy happens I
always had sort of a gut feeling.
It was always like I had some electricity vibrating in my stomach, you know, and I always...
my wife could confirm that I always told, in all those instances, I told my wife "something
is going to happen.
I can feel it, something is going to happen."
We are getting close, so when you live with the markets and when it means a lot to you,
what you do as a profession, as a job, and analyzing the world and markets then it just
feeds back to you.
And you feel it.
I find this really interesting.
I spoke to Richard Pomboy, Stephanie Pomboy, and Eric Pomboy's father, and he had a similar
experience in '87.
He went to 100% cash the day before it happened, and he said, it was just a gut feeling, that
I knew something was building and something was going on that didn't feel right and for
whatever reason that morning I just came in and I said "there's a crash going to happen."
And he went to 100% cash.
So soon before it happened, that he hadn't had time to tell his investors, so they were
ringing up on the morning of October 19th, 1987 saying "oh my god we're ruined."
And he said, "Well I'm sorry, I didn't have time to tell you but we're 100% in cash, don't
worry."
I think that was a Monday, October 19th, and I was actually out, I was delivering a speech
in Southern Germany.
There was a reunion of a big company with their clients and I delivered a speech before
dinner, pre-dinner speech, and I think I opened the speech by saying "This is a speech you
will never forget, not because of what I tell you but because of what's going to happen
tonight."
And you saw the opening already, you saw the closing on Friday and we didn't have smartphones
at that time but we had those little Reuters machines, the pocket pager things, and I saw
the opening with the delay, I saw the opening, so I said, this is a dinner speech you will
never forget, not because of me but because of what will happen tonight.
And the other morning at breakfast, they all showed up at breakfast, everybody was pale.
White-faced yeah!
It was an interesting experience.
Yeah, it's interesting because when you describe these turning points, the reduction of liquidity,
the trends the momentum the technical analysis, we're there now it feels like to me.We can
see the liquidity in many ways, certainly from the Federal Reserve, it's starting to
be reigned in, even though on a global basis, which I guess is maybe the difference now,
it still feels like it's expanding.
It's very interesting you say that because on January 24th this year I held a webinar
for our clients together with Ed Heiman for his clients and it was just a fireside chat
about what we see going on and what's coming and in that webinar, I said "it feels to me
like '87.
It feels to me like '87, something is in the air."
We have liquidity getting tighter, we have extended markets and something could happen
very short-term.
You have the finance, the secretary of the treasury talking down the dollar just like
then, you have bond yields going up, you have stocks going up and losing momentum, something
is in the air.
And a few days later things started.
So yeah, when you look at that now, but we do have this... the world seems much more
globally connected now than it was back in '87.
Even though it was a global crash, it was a bunch of isolated crashes happening in tandem,
now it feels as though, since the end of QE3 there's an extra 5 trillion dollars of stimulus
that's been applied by the Bank of Japan, People's Bank of China etc and the Swiss National
Bank who are at it like crazy.
When you have that feeling like you had at the end of January, do you feel as though,
the ultimate outcome of that feeling is going to be dissipated now?
Because the money can be injected into the system from anywhere.
I think we are... it's more synchronized today but we are not quite there in the liquidity
tightening cycle where we were in '87.
We are not quite there.
It's not as extreme yet, there is still plenty of liquidity around so I think this was a
warning, a little warning crack.
Market's have rallied after that crack, the NASDAQ and those disruptors are making new
highs but just a few names, the majority of the NASDAQ 100 stocks is not making new highs
so that shows you deteriorating rates.
I think there is going to be a second decline coming into this Spring or so, I do not know
exactly when but I think the downside is bigger, clearly bigger than the upside.
And once that is over I think markets are going to try the upside once again but I do
not know for how long because when you look at the monetary situation, the FED will tighten
and will soak up liquidity, the ECB will stop its QE in September, that's a big change,
I think the Chinese are trying to restructure the financial sector which is slowing down
the credit aggregates so I think they are also tightening.
They have raised interest rates quite a lot of over the last 2 years, so I think there
is some tightening going on in the global arena, but it's smoother, it's gentler it
is spread out because nobody wants to rock the boat.
So until we see some deterioration somewhere in the world economy or the financial system
the strong stocks will try to rally again, and the strong stocks and the strong segments
of the global markets will make new highs.
I doubt that the weak ones will, Europe, for instance, is by far the weakest region, they
will not make new highs I really doubt.
So I think 2019 is probably the situation or the window when liquidity is really tight
and when the fiscal stimulus is slowly abating and then I think we are ready for the big
downturn.
I think peeking out, sometime in the second half of this year and then down into 2020.

Alex Jones Son Goes Off The Rail And Just Challgened David Hogg In Bombastic Video!
Shock talk show host Alex Jones' son, Rex Jones, has now come out to challenge the Parkland
shooting survivor David Hogg on his far left wing narrative against guns, and the second
amendment.
After having to listen to Hogg and his friends spew left-wing propaganda against guns Jones,
who is only 15-years-old has said he has had enough.
So he challenged David Hogg to a debate about guns, and the way their generation looks at
guns and feels about the second amendment.
This challenge came about when Hogg, in his "can't be touched" status given to him
by the mainstream media actually tweeted about Alex Jones and even referred to him as a "Shit"
journalist.
This hasn't been the only attack Hogg has made.
and then come out in the real world and try to make a difference.
But for now just sit down, your 10 minutes of fame are up and no one wants to hear your
whiny voice any longer as you attack those who don't agree with you, while your friend
in the media try to convince people you have impunity.
What do you think about this?
