This is East Asia—comprised of China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan—and this is Europe.

2.4 billion people live in these two areas—a third of the world's population.

More impressively, each of these two regions have a GDP of about $20 trillion.

Combined, just these countries account for half of the world's economic activity.

They are two of the world's most dense, most developed, and m ost economically interlinked

regions and are home to the world's largest and most influential cities yet laying between

them is just one country—Russia.

This more of less means that one country controls whether Europe can get to Asia and vice versa

and for a while, they couldn't.

During the cold war, almost universally, non-soviet airlines were not allowed to fly over the

Soviet Union.

This proved a huge barrier to travel.

In the 1950's, flying on BOAC, which later became British Airways, the fastest route

from London to Tokyo involved leaving London at 10am on Friday and stopping in Rome, Beirut,

Bahrain, Karachi, Calcutta, Yangon, Bangkok, and Manila before finally arriving in Tokyo

at 6am on a Sunday.

All in all, that was 36 hours and 10,000 miles of travel to get between two cities 6,000

miles apart and that was also their fastest service on the Comet jet plane.

Their slower and cheaper propeller plane service would leave London on a Sunday and not arrive

in Tokyo until Thursday after 88 hours of travel.

It was just hugely inefficient but there was a better way—over the Arctic.

SAS was the first to develop routes overflying the Arctic but other airlines soon followed.

These routes were first used to get to the American west coast faster.

This involved developing new navigation systems to overcome the issue of traditional magnetic

compasses not working properly in the high north.

In the 1950's no commercial airplane had the range to fly to the American west coast

non-stop but with SAS's new polar route they would take a relatively quick route from

Copenhagen stopping in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland and Winnipeg, Canada before arriving in Los

Angeles.

This cut what was previously a 36 hour trip down to 22.

With SAS having proven that commercial flights over the Arctic were both safe and commercially

viable, other airlines quickly followed not only setting up routes to the American west

coast but also to the far east.

The most direct route from London to Tokyo flies over Siberia, but since that airspace

was closed airlines chose another way—the other way around the world.

In 1960, only 40,000 people lived in Anchorage, Alaska and Alaska had just became a state

the year before, but its airport emerged as a crucial stopping point between Europe and

Asia.

BOAC's thrice weekly polar route from London to Tokyo would leave Heathrow at 1:45 pm,

arrive in Anchorage nine and a half hours later, stop for an hour to refuel, and then

fly the remaining seven hours to Tokyo.

All in all, it was timetabled to take only seventeen and a half hours—half of what

the trip took before.

It was as drastic a reduction in travel time as when Concorde cut New York to London flights

from six hours to three.

BOAC wasn't the only one.

All the major European carriers set up routes to the far east via Anchorage in the 1960s

and 1970s.

While Anchorage sees only a few dozen daily commercial flights mostly to the continental

US today, in the 1970s it was served by Air France, SAS, KLM, Iberia, Lufthansa, Japan

Airlines, Korean Air, and more.

This tiny town in Alaska quickly became one of the most connected and cosmopolitan areas

of the world with passengers and flight crews from all around the world stopping over all

because of where it was.

As aircraft became more advanced with longer range, there were a few airlines that managed

to avoid stopping in Anchorage on their way from Europe to East Asia.

Finnair, for example, starting flying from Helsinki to Tokyo non-stop in 1983 by flying

in international airspace north of Russia over the North Pole.

This made what is today a nine hour flight thirteen hours but it was still faster than

stopping in Anchorage.

Overwhelmingly, though, airlines continued to fly through Anchorage.

Eventually, though, the Soviet Union did of course fall in 1991 and with that Russia started

to grant overflight rights to European and East Asian airlines.

They first had to modernize and anglicize their air traffic control system.

All international pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide speak English but before, since

there were few international flights over Russia, the Russian air traffic controllers

didn't speak english.

Once the changes were made, airlines quickly switched to flying non-stop from Europe to

Asia over Siberia.

That left Anchorage largely deserted.

The airport built a large and modern international terminal in 1982 to handle all the traffic

passing through the airport but then, less than ten years later, all those airlines that

kept the airport busy left in droves.

Today, that international terminal, built to handle hundreds of flights per month, only

sees a flight every few days.

Russia, meanwhile, is prospering thanks to the opening up of its airspace.

Flying to Asia over Siberia saves airlines huge amounts of time and money so Russia therefore

charges airlines huge amounts of money to do so.

Exact numbers vary by airline and are kept secret, but for each roundtrip flight between

Europe and Asia, Siberian overflight fees are believed to account for up to $100 of

a single passenger's ticket price.

Russia has an enormous amount of power by controlling this airspace and they use it

to their advantage.

133 countries have signed the International Civil Aviation Organization's Transit Agreement

which essentially allows any airline from any country to fly through the signatory's

airspace but Russia, however, has not, so they can pick and choose which country's

airlines get to fly through their airspace.

The country can and has used its airspace as a geopolitical weapon—in 2014 they threatened

to shut down their airspace to European Union airlines in response to sanctions, in 2017

they threatened to close the airspace to Dutch airlines in response to a reduction in landing

slots for a Russian airline at Schiphol airport, and in April 2018 they tacitly threatened

to close their airspace to US airlines in response to US military action in Syria.

But Russia not only decides which countries can fly in its airspace, it also decides which

specific airlines.

There is more or less a rule that only one airline per European country can overfly Russia.

There are certainly exceptions—both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic are London based,

for example, but both overfly Siberia on their routes to Shanghai and Hong Kong, but Air

France is the only French airline with Siberian overflight rights, Lufthansa is the only German

airline with overflight rights, Iberia is the only Spanish airline with overflight rights,

and so on and so forth.

For the longest while, this wasn't a problem.

European countries aren't that big and few had more than one intercontinental airline

but nowadays, however, that's changing.

We're seeing more and more budget airlines competing with the large, established carriers

on long-haul routes but, with this system of overflight permissions, the legacy carriers

more or less have a monopoly on east Asian routes.

SAS, for example, operates out of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden and they have Siberian

overflight rights that take them to destinations like Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai.

SAS is therefore the only Scandinavian airline allowed to overfly Siberia.

But also in Scandinavia is Norwegian Air.

As one of the largest low-cost airlines in the world, Norwegian has pioneered long-haul

budget flying mainly focusing on flights from major European cities to the US.

The airline has said, though, that it wants to expand eastwards.

They already have flights from Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm to Bangkok and from London

to Singapore, but these destinations are far enough south that they don't involve flying

over Siberia.

The airline has repeatedly applied for Siberian overflight rights and repeatedly been denied.

They argue that SAS does not operate any flight from Norway to Asia so they should be granted

permission as the only Norwegian airline but, since SAS is partially registered in Norway,

Russia isn't granting permission.

Norwegian does have a subsidiary legally registered in the UK but its unlikely that Russia would

grant overflight rights to this since British Airways and Virgin Atlantic also have overflight

rights.

Norwegian airlines also has a subsidiary based in Ireland which does not have an airline

with Siberian overflight rights but, SAS also has a subsidiary based in the country which

could mean that Russia will deny rights to this subsidiary too.

As of now, Russia has not granted overflight permission to any budget airline.

Others have tried—Icelandic airlines Wow Air and Icelandair have attempted to negotiate

overflight rights—but Russia views overflights as a way to make money and wants to charge

fees that would make it impossible for a low-cost airline.

For now, Wow Air has planned to start flights from Reykjavik to Delhi, India which, in a

direct routing would fly over Russia but can route around Russia by only adding 45 minutes

in extra flight time if an arrangement isn't made before flights start in December 2018.

Russia is a powerful politically-savvy country that knows that these overflight rights are

a huge negotiation tool.

Pulling the rights of a country's airline would be a huge financial blow and granting

rights is also a huge advantage.

Competition, though, is good for the consumer and this current system stifles it.

Until Russia starts granting overflight rights to budget airlines, nonstop flights to Asia

will stay expensive.

The fact that this shortcut over Siberia is now open at all, however, saves millions of

passengers yearly enormous amounts of time and money.

Watching this ten-minute video of our technological progress might make you think that we got

here in one giant leap, but that, of course, is not the case.

We had to develop new navigation systems to work around old-school compasses, build airports

to help planes refuel, and extend the range of aircraft.

The problem of advancing enough to be able to fly non-stop to the other side of the world

was huge but it was broken down and approached in small steps.

Brilliant works in a similar way—breaking a problem down, identifying the relevant concepts,

thinking clearly through each part, and building it back up to the conclusion.

In this manner, super complex topics like number theory or calculus can be easily understood

by anyone.

My favorite from Brilliant is their logic course, which starts simple, but then builds

up your skills so you can solve seemingly impossible problems.

USA vs Syria - Who Would Win? Military Comparison - Duration: 4:41.

The United States of America has a landmass of 3.8 million sq miles (9.8 million sq kilometers)

and a population of 325.7 million.

Syria, which is officially known as the Syrian Arab Republic, has 18.4 million people with

a landmass of 72 thousand sq miles (185,000 kilometers squared).

The US dwarfs Syria in terms of size and population, but how does that translate to the military

capability of these two nations?

That's what we'll be exploring today, in this episode of The Infographics Show:

USA vs Syria.

The most recent figures we could find for the Syrian defense budget are from 2011 with

a figure of 2.5 billion.

As for the US, president Donald Trump recently proposed an increase to the military budget

to $681 billion.

Of Syria's 18.4 million people, there are only 150-178,000 active personnel.

The US military, on the other hand, has a little over 2 million personnel, of which

1.28 million work as active personnel, and 800,000 are reserves.

It also has some of the best special forces outfits in the world.

The United States has a hefty 8,848 tanks against Syria's smaller number of 4,600

tanks.

And with Armored fighting vehicles, Syria is far out matched with The United States

holding 46,000 vehicles, to Syria's 4,000.

Other land vehicles include self-propelled artillery with The United States holding more

than double at 950 to Syria's 460, and rocket artillery where The US has 1197 to Syria's

582.

When it comes to airpower, The United States also far outweighs Syria, with a total number

of 13,362 aircraft vs Syria's 706.

With fighters, The United States has 388 and Syria is a little closer at 278.

Multirole aircraft, The US has 2,062 to Syria's 40, and other aircraft, including attack aircraft,

The United States has 470, Syria 120.

As for helicopters, The United States has as many as 5,000 to Syria's 163.

Looking at naval power, The US also shadows Syria with 436 total ships to Syria's 64.

Where The United States has 20 aircraft carriers [navodilo za script preperatorja: tukaj na

zaslon dodajmo text kjer pise: "The U.S. Navy operates 20 ships that could be called

aircraft carriers, but only considers 10 to be actual carriers."

and 85 destroyers, Syria has zero.

And under the water the United States has 70 submarines to Syria's 2.

A battle fought at sea between these two nations, would be a very one-sided contest.

And what about nuclear arsenal?

The United States was the first country to manufacture nuclear weapons and to date is

the only country to have used them in war, with the bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki

in World War II.

As of 2017, according to the Federation of Nuclear Scientists, The United States has

a total of 6,800 useable warheads, of which 1,800 are deployed, 4,000 are stock piled,

and 2,800 are retired.

Though at one time it's thought Syria did seek to develop nuclear weapons with help

from North Korea, in 2007 the Israeli Air Force destroyed its plutonium production reactor

and Syria is not known to have any nuclear warheads.

Oil is also an essential ingredient when it comes to fighting and winning wars, and an

abundance of fuel is required to power tanks, aircraft and warships.

Current figures for Syria are hard to find, with the civil war that's being fought,

but as of 2012, consumption was 258,800 barrels per day, production was 182,500 barrels per

day, and reserves were 2.5 billion barrels.

While the United States consumes an average of about 19.9 million barrels per day, they

produce 9.3 million barrels per day, and has, in reserves, about 35.2 billion barrels.

Another factor of strength when fighting wars is the number of overseas military bases a

country has.

The United States outnumbers all other countries in this area and still maintains nearly 800

military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad.

And though Syria plays host to other countries military bases, by contrast, they have none

overseas of their own.

Who you partner with is also important when it comes to combat, and today The US maintains

military alliances with as many as 60 countries, including the mighty NATO military bloc in

Europe, Israel and a string of Gulf countries in the Middle East, Japan and South Korea

in East Asia, and Australia in the South Pacific.

Since the ongoing civil war, Syria has been increasingly isolated from countries in the

region, and the wider international community.

Syria does continue to foster good relations with its traditional allies, Iran and Russia,

and in total has 38 allied connections.

That's a brief comparison of the US and Syria's military capability.

Do you think Syria could even stand a chance?

If so, under what circumstances?

Let us know in the comments!

Senderismo en lluvia - hiking in rain - 3F UL vs 3F UL vs Keela (subtitles) - Duration: 5:22.

did it happen to you that planning a trip,

you find raining weather?

let me tell you

2 days at Palecia mountains

amazing at Spring

with so much rain, everything green

pants wet, shoes wet

2 great hiking routes

recommend Fuente y Cueva del Cobre

and this go up and up

recently I got the new 3F poncho

the one with sleeves

for the type of trail

that we made

hiking up

this was a condensation trap

it´s a mix of poncho and jacket

like this one, but this one is breatheble

you can do exercise with it

but the poncho does not breathe

you sweat like a chicken

I can start feeling the condensation

sweating like a chicken......!!!.....

as I told you

sleeves

no lateral ventilation

as you can see

the poncho

covers very well

even the legs

no head visor

the problems starts

when I do exercise with it

the old version I have

I will keep using.....

you got the sides open

and its shorter

you can see in this poncho

is a bit shorter than the new one, but we have

both sides totally open

and that gives us some ventilation

with a lot less condensation

this Jacket

really waterproof

but will have a couple problems when hiking

one would be getting our pants wet

the second getting our backpack wet as well

it gets wet

and things inside can get wet

if we have a down sleeping bag or other delicate materials

would be no good

we got 2 options

an inside bag

so everything is protected

but the backpack would get wet and heavy

another option is to put a cover

but the backpart would get wet

it get wet in the "lab test"

and things inside can get wet

the conclusion: its your choice.....

I personally would keep my old version poncho

I think because the

the protection, small tarp use,

hanging points, price and volume

I will keep bringing it in my backpack

Die Schweizer Regierung ist hochkriminell - Swiss government are criminals E sub - Duration: 7:44.

You live in Switzerland and have discovered a great thing, that you already know

go for a long time ! What is this about ?

It is a crime of the nineties and eighties, 1988-1989

where the largest Constitutional FRAUD of the

Swiss history has taken place ! So a real Criminal Conspiracy !

And specifically on December 4, 1988, we had one

Vote, the city-land initiative ! Which was rejected by 70%

of the People and with 100% of all 26 Cantons !

81% of the homeowners were against ! Even the Swiss Tenants with 41% against !

And there it was about Restrictions in Land Law !

Good evening Ladies & Gentlemen ! We welcome you to the Swiss Daily News !

Since a half an hour, the results for all 3 Federal Templates are available !

From all cantons. Now we have the final results for all

3 Petition. Toni Zwissig ! First the map to the city-land initiative ! All

26 Cantons reject the Reform of Land Law (4x NO) ! Proposed by the initiators !

685,861 votes voted for (Yes), 1,544,205

pronounced against the city-land initiative (NO) !

And now actually 9 months later, then Bernese politicians, the

7x Federal Councilors of 1989, through the back door on October 6, 1989 !

An extraordinary Federal Decision established, decided and this very tricky ! Because

they packed that up = "non-agricultural" real estate should be

will not be sold for 5 years ! And retroactively ! Why tricky ? Everyone

People who read this thought: "Non-Agricultural" Real Estate-Land ?

That does not affect me ! I'm not a farmer !

Federal Bern, the then Federal Councilors, have decided an Extraordinary Federal Decision !

On the same topic, where we already voted (1988)

had agreed and it was formulated over night = "non-agricultural" Real Estates (why no clearer ? = 99% !),

can not be sold for 5 years ! This new law was even Retroactive Closed (see the Int. Retroactive Ban) !

That is, it was concrete on October 6, 1989 !

That meen's, that real estate that I had bought: 1 or 2, 3, 4 years before (this Decree 1989)

fell also under this law ! That is completely absurd ! That is a NoGo ! You can not

retroactively change Valid Laws (that's CRAZY) !

Look, at the beginning of the 90s we did not have internet ! The

Awareness of the people was not so great ! The obguseness was massive and everything

what came from above was swallowed by the population. I can not imagine that,

why I was one of the very few who vehemently opposed it then !

Has approached and protested (see the SCAM) ! Whereby I never came through ! Because then

to stand up against a bank was a sacrilege ! When I was still at that time

tried to clarify the whole thing to courts ! The whole Swiss Courts (s. Coup d'Etat 1989-1999) have

pulled along ! Carried this constitutional breach (FRAUD). All Land Registry Offices !

All Politicians ! Because every little kid understands, that the 1988 vote, which was so clear, only 9 months later

can not be turn upside down ! So that was and is a constitutional break (FRAUD) !

So that this was and is a constitutional break (FRAUD)

In 1 hour I have explained this to any jury in the USA and every citizen in Switzerland ! I think !

In the preliminary advisory council of the Nationalrat, 8 parliamentarians initially

spoke in favor of a 10-year blocking period (Ban) !

Then, eleven (11x) voted for five (5x) years BAN and six (6x) for three (3x) years BAN = the Constitutional Scam LIFE ! on Camera (Proof for the US-Fla. Federal Court) !

On the other hand, the preparatory Council of States Councils (Senat) gave preference to a "only" (against the will of the 1989 voters = FRAUD = 100% Proved !)

voted for "only" a 3 year blocking period (Ban) ! With 6 to 0 votes ! (The SCAM 100% proved for the US-Fla. Miami Federal Court = Life on Camera = Stupid Criminals) !

With this decree, what happened ?

We could not trade and sell anything anymore ! The key interest rates were increased in parallel !

Only 8 weeks later (No coincidence !) ! Then we had mortgage interests from 8% to 9% the year !

That means you could not sell anymore !

And in the next few years, practically all of them who owned more than 2-3 houses

the real estate was auctioned ! And then we were left behind

expropriated, empty, and still with debts ! Because they went then, under the

Mortgages away ! That means that each of us had hundreds of millions of debts,

although we have never violated any law !

Although we always paid taxes ! Have employed people and so on !

So an insane great FRAUD (Case No: 17-CV-62542-BB) !

What did the state want to achieve with it ? It was for me

clear then = Cui Bono = Who benefits ? That was a redistribution, a classic one

Economic War ! I mean it was a civilian economic war ! And there are the Old Rich,

the Power Elites took away all to the New Rich, as I was one, in a relatively elegant way !

So the Nazis (SS = Nazi Party) expropriated !

The Communists have expropriated ! And the Swiss have expropriated too ! Only in typical Swiss style !

If one considers the excesses of speculation already with legal

Fiscal Measures to tax over-high wins in the sale of

of land and property rather suitable, then

Fiscal Measures are less bureaucratic burdened and less radical

in the Property Guarantee ! and in the Trade and Commercial Freedom !

Mr. Federal President ! Ladies & Gentlemen ! The Federal Council has with big satisfaction ! taken note

that the people (70%) and estates (100%) the city-land Initiative against land speculation have rejected !

Only 10 minutes later = So the fight ! against the ground speculation ! will be added = New YES ! Hää ?! = FRAUD ! Are there, for example, also lock periods in it ?

That's absolutely in it (FRAUD)! A working group already comes to me in the course of 1989 (FRAUD) !

make suggestions ! This BR Elisabeth Kopp was fired in late 1989 = Great, but to late !

Almost daily company bankruptcies !

The construction industry threatens collapse danger !

The noise of the compressed air hammer is deceptive !

The Swiss construction industry is in the deepest ($ 900 trillion losses) crisis since 2. World War (50 years ago) !

Foreclosure ! Bruno Bonometti on the bankruptcy shadow in the Swiss Sun State (Ticino).

Ermidio Antonini, head of the debt collection office, is auctioning off a multi-apartment building.

In the 80s, this occurred at most 20 times a year.

Since the crisis he is auctioning 10 times more ! This is 200 real estate auctions annually, only in Lugano / TI !

(in Switzerland about 10.000 a year) ! In the first 9 months of last year (1990), the auction

Ticino bankruptcy and debt enforcement agencies real estate for 1.1 billion francs !

In the same period, they have already introduced new ones because of real estate debt

Debt for 500 million francs through !

There is no End in Sight !

We have not experienced such a situation in Ticino since the 1970s !

I do not know where that still leads, as long as the

Foreclosures mainly of real estate continue to increase !

And the Future? Black ! I do not see a way out ! Every day more forced auctions, always

since 5 years, this is constantly increasing !  And there is No End in Sight !

The doors of the SLT Bank Thun are expected to close soon !

While the EBK Bank Commission today announced this decision in the Federal Palace !

It was said once more for the bruised customers to wait. Queue stands for poor 500 francs !

Many still hoped, that a big bank

save the financial institution and thus its savings ! This hope has

This hope has break up ! Understandably, the mood is irritated !

The Press Conference in the Federal Palace ! With harsh words criticized the

in charge of the banking commission EBK the behavior of the bank manager and

deprived them of the Bank Licence ! The SLT bank has by its very expansive

credit grant repeats and severely legal

rules about the risk distribution violated ! These law violations (EBK started with it !)

this mischief lead, according to banking law to withdrawal for approval (licence) !

The Banking Commission EBK, the supreme supervisory body, has said that it is too delicate to participate the TV.

Moreover, in the context of its overbearing credit grant, the bank has thes

risk distribution regulations of the law violated ! One more reason for that

to withdraw the bank authorization (licence) !

If no major bank buys SLT, only bankruptcy remains !

Before the SLT Bank Thun (7.10.1991) bank customers today snakes !

They were able to get from their blocked account

500 francs ! For many, of course,

just a drop on a hot stone ! Because they have not only their job-salary account,

but also the Passbook account at this bank !

The SLT Bank Thun, is the water to the neck ! The regional bank was

grown above average in recent years !

She had been heavily involved in the real estate sector !

And stuffed big one-sided risks ! And by the collapse of

the Real Estate Markets today lack around 100 million in the cash register !

Does a small saver now have to expect that a large part of his money is lost (the Decree = Cause !) ?

A big part will not be lost ! But a part ! (the Decree 10.6.1989 = Effect 1989-1999 !)

What is the final amount (in the pending US-Fla.claim) ? So we're talking here, about

around 750 million, which are accounted for, by official Swiss Land Register Entries and so on !

And if you now calculate the 30 years, then two times

Inflation-related, the real estate prices in Switzerland were also through the ceiling or

and then we are just 1.5 billion ! So for all a 1 a 5 and 8 zeros ! That's the sum ! Is a lot !

But is not for me alone (all together 20 victims) ! Where I have to say I am now

when I do not need the money anymore ! I do not know fore what. I just need

gesundheit mit diesem geld die jungen rights

health ! With this money I want establish very good the: www.human-rights-defenders.com !

Then we will start our own people's initiative next year ! Then I want this Swiss Justice (to much politic)

Completely re-set, reform (see the FRAUD 1989) !

The Most Valuable Airspace in the World - Duration: 10:48.

This video was made possible by Brilliant.

This is East Asia—comprised of China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan—and this is Europe.

2.4 billion people live in these two areas—a third of the world's population.

More impressively, each of these two regions have a GDP of about $20 trillion.

Combined, just these countries account for half of the world's economic activity.

They are two of the world's most dense, most developed, and m ost economically interlinked

regions and are home to the world's largest and most influential cities yet laying between

them is just one country—Russia.

This more of less means that one country controls whether Europe can get to Asia and vice versa

and for a while, they couldn't.

During the cold war, almost universally, non-soviet airlines were not allowed to fly over the

Soviet Union.

This proved a huge barrier to travel.

In the 1950's, flying on BOAC, which later became British Airways, the fastest route

from London to Tokyo involved leaving London at 10am on Friday and stopping in Rome, Beirut,

Bahrain, Karachi, Calcutta, Yangon, Bangkok, and Manila before finally arriving in Tokyo

at 6am on a Sunday.

All in all, that was 36 hours and 10,000 miles of travel to get between two cities 6,000

miles apart and that was also their fastest service on the Comet jet plane.

Their slower and cheaper propeller plane service would leave London on a Sunday and not arrive

in Tokyo until Thursday after 88 hours of travel.

It was just hugely inefficient but there was a better way—over the Arctic.

SAS was the first to develop routes overflying the Arctic but other airlines soon followed.

These routes were first used to get to the American west coast faster.

This involved developing new navigation systems to overcome the issue of traditional magnetic

compasses not working properly in the high north.

In the 1950's no commercial airplane had the range to fly to the American west coast

non-stop but with SAS's new polar route they would take a relatively quick route from

Copenhagen stopping in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland and Winnipeg, Canada before arriving in Los

Angeles.

This cut what was previously a 36 hour trip down to 22.

With SAS having proven that commercial flights over the Arctic were both safe and commercially

viable, other airlines quickly followed not only setting up routes to the American west

coast but also to the far east.

The most direct route from London to Tokyo flies over Siberia, but since that airspace

was closed airlines chose another way—the other way around the world.

In 1960, only 40,000 people lived in Anchorage, Alaska and Alaska had just became a state

the year before, but its airport emerged as a crucial stopping point between Europe and

Asia.

BOAC's thrice weekly polar route from London to Tokyo would leave Heathrow at 1:45 pm,

arrive in Anchorage nine and a half hours later, stop for an hour to refuel, and then

fly the remaining seven hours to Tokyo.

All in all, it was timetabled to take only seventeen and a half hours—half of what

the trip took before.

It was as drastic a reduction in travel time as when Concorde cut New York to London flights

from six hours to three.

BOAC wasn't the only one.

All the major European carriers set up routes to the far east via Anchorage in the 1960s

and 1970s.

While Anchorage sees only a few dozen daily commercial flights mostly to the continental

US today, in the 1970s it was served by Air France, SAS, KLM, Iberia, Lufthansa, Japan

Airlines, Korean Air, and more.

This tiny town in Alaska quickly became one of the most connected and cosmopolitan areas

of the world with passengers and flight crews from all around the world stopping over all

because of where it was.

As aircraft became more advanced with longer range, there were a few airlines that managed

to avoid stopping in Anchorage on their way from Europe to East Asia.

Finnair, for example, starting flying from Helsinki to Tokyo non-stop in 1983 by flying

in international airspace north of Russia over the North Pole.

This made what is today a nine hour flight thirteen hours but it was still faster than

stopping in Anchorage.

Overwhelmingly, though, airlines continued to fly through Anchorage.

Eventually, though, the Soviet Union did of course fall in 1991 and with that Russia started

to grant overflight rights to European and East Asian airlines.

They first had to modernize and anglicize their air traffic control system.

All international pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide speak English but before, since

there were few international flights over Russia, the Russian air traffic controllers

didn't speak english.

Once the changes were made, airlines quickly switched to flying non-stop from Europe to

Asia over Siberia.

That left Anchorage largely deserted.

The airport built a large and modern international terminal in 1982 to handle all the traffic

passing through the airport but then, less than ten years later, all those airlines that

kept the airport busy left in droves.

Today, that international terminal, built to handle hundreds of flights per month, only

sees a flight every few days.

Russia, meanwhile, is prospering thanks to the opening up of its airspace.

Flying to Asia over Siberia saves airlines huge amounts of time and money so Russia therefore

charges airlines huge amounts of money to do so.

Exact numbers vary by airline and are kept secret, but for each roundtrip flight between

Europe and Asia, Siberian overflight fees are believed to account for up to $100 of

a single passenger's ticket price.

Russia has an enormous amount of power by controlling this airspace and they use it

to their advantage.

133 countries have signed the International Civil Aviation Organization's Transit Agreement

which essentially allows any airline from any country to fly through the signatory's

airspace but Russia, however, has not, so they can pick and choose which country's

airlines get to fly through their airspace.

The country can and has used its airspace as a geopolitical weapon—in 2014 they threatened

to shut down their airspace to European Union airlines in response to sanctions, in 2017

they threatened to close the airspace to Dutch airlines in response to a reduction in landing

slots for a Russian airline at Schiphol airport, and in April 2018 they tacitly threatened

to close their airspace to US airlines in response to US military action in Syria.

But Russia not only decides which countries can fly in its airspace, it also decides which

specific airlines.

There is more or less a rule that only one airline per European country can overfly Russia.

There are certainly exceptions—both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic are London based,

for example, but both overfly Siberia on their routes to Shanghai and Hong Kong, but Air

France is the only French airline with Siberian overflight rights, Lufthansa is the only German

airline with overflight rights, Iberia is the only Spanish airline with overflight rights,

and so on and so forth.

For the longest while, this wasn't a problem.

European countries aren't that big and few had more than one intercontinental airline

but nowadays, however, that's changing.

We're seeing more and more budget airlines competing with the large, established carriers

on long-haul routes but, with this system of overflight permissions, the legacy carriers

more or less have a monopoly on east Asian routes.

SAS, for example, operates out of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden and they have Siberian

overflight rights that take them to destinations like Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai.

SAS is therefore the only Scandinavian airline allowed to overfly Siberia.

But also in Scandinavia is Norwegian Air.

As one of the largest low-cost airlines in the world, Norwegian has pioneered long-haul

budget flying mainly focusing on flights from major European cities to the US.

The airline has said, though, that it wants to expand eastwards.

They already have flights from Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm to Bangkok and from London

to Singapore, but these destinations are far enough south that they don't involve flying

over Siberia.

The airline has repeatedly applied for Siberian overflight rights and repeatedly been denied.

They argue that SAS does not operate any flight from Norway to Asia so they should be granted

permission as the only Norwegian airline but, since SAS is partially registered in Norway,

Russia isn't granting permission.

Norwegian does have a subsidiary legally registered in the UK but its unlikely that Russia would

grant overflight rights to this since British Airways and Virgin Atlantic also have overflight

rights.

Norwegian airlines also has a subsidiary based in Ireland which does not have an airline

with Siberian overflight rights but, SAS also has a subsidiary based in the country which

could mean that Russia will deny rights to this subsidiary too.

As of now, Russia has not granted overflight permission to any budget airline.

Others have tried—Icelandic airlines Wow Air and Icelandair have attempted to negotiate

overflight rights—but Russia views overflights as a way to make money and wants to charge

fees that would make it impossible for a low-cost airline.

For now, Wow Air has planned to start flights from Reykjavik to Delhi, India which, in a

direct routing would fly over Russia but can route around Russia by only adding 45 minutes

in extra flight time if an arrangement isn't made before flights start in December 2018.

Russia is a powerful politically-savvy country that knows that these overflight rights are

a huge negotiation tool.

Pulling the rights of a country's airline would be a huge financial blow and granting

rights is also a huge advantage.

Competition, though, is good for the consumer and this current system stifles it.

Until Russia starts granting overflight rights to budget airlines, nonstop flights to Asia

will stay expensive.

The fact that this shortcut over Siberia is now open at all, however, saves millions of

passengers yearly enormous amounts of time and money.

Watching this ten-minute video of our technological progress might make you think that we got

here in one giant leap, but that, of course, is not the case.

We had to develop new navigation systems to work around old-school compasses, build airports

to help planes refuel, and extend the range of aircraft.

The problem of advancing enough to be able to fly non-stop to the other side of the world

was huge but it was broken down and approached in small steps.

Brilliant works in a similar way—breaking a problem down, identifying the relevant concepts,

thinking clearly through each part, and building it back up to the conclusion.

In this manner, super complex topics like number theory or calculus can be easily understood

by anyone.

My favorite from Brilliant is their logic course, which starts simple, but then builds

up your skills so you can solve seemingly impossible problems.

USA vs Syria - Who Would Win? Military Comparison - Duration: 4:41.

The United States of America has a landmass of 3.8 million sq miles (9.8 million sq kilometers)

and a population of 325.7 million.

Syria, which is officially known as the Syrian Arab Republic, has 18.4 million people with

a landmass of 72 thousand sq miles (185,000 kilometers squared).

The US dwarfs Syria in terms of size and population, but how does that translate to the military

capability of these two nations?

That's what we'll be exploring today, in this episode of The Infographics Show:

USA vs Syria.

The most recent figures we could find for the Syrian defense budget are from 2011 with

a figure of 2.5 billion.

As for the US, president Donald Trump recently proposed an increase to the military budget

to $681 billion.

Of Syria's 18.4 million people, there are only 150-178,000 active personnel.

The US military, on the other hand, has a little over 2 million personnel, of which

1.28 million work as active personnel, and 800,000 are reserves.

It also has some of the best special forces outfits in the world.

The United States has a hefty 8,848 tanks against Syria's smaller number of 4,600

tanks.

And with Armored fighting vehicles, Syria is far out matched with The United States

holding 46,000 vehicles, to Syria's 4,000.

Other land vehicles include self-propelled artillery with The United States holding more

than double at 950 to Syria's 460, and rocket artillery where The US has 1197 to Syria's

582.

When it comes to airpower, The United States also far outweighs Syria, with a total number

of 13,362 aircraft vs Syria's 706.

With fighters, The United States has 388 and Syria is a little closer at 278.

Multirole aircraft, The US has 2,062 to Syria's 40, and other aircraft, including attack aircraft,

The United States has 470, Syria 120.

As for helicopters, The United States has as many as 5,000 to Syria's 163.

Looking at naval power, The US also shadows Syria with 436 total ships to Syria's 64.

Where The United States has 20 aircraft carriers [navodilo za script preperatorja: tukaj na

zaslon dodajmo text kjer pise: "The U.S. Navy operates 20 ships that could be called

aircraft carriers, but only considers 10 to be actual carriers."

and 85 destroyers, Syria has zero.

And under the water the United States has 70 submarines to Syria's 2.

A battle fought at sea between these two nations, would be a very one-sided contest.

And what about nuclear arsenal?

The United States was the first country to manufacture nuclear weapons and to date is

the only country to have used them in war, with the bombings at Hiroshima and Nagasaki

in World War II.

As of 2017, according to the Federation of Nuclear Scientists, The United States has

a total of 6,800 useable warheads, of which 1,800 are deployed, 4,000 are stock piled,

and 2,800 are retired.

Though at one time it's thought Syria did seek to develop nuclear weapons with help

from North Korea, in 2007 the Israeli Air Force destroyed its plutonium production reactor

and Syria is not known to have any nuclear warheads.

Oil is also an essential ingredient when it comes to fighting and winning wars, and an

abundance of fuel is required to power tanks, aircraft and warships.

Current figures for Syria are hard to find, with the civil war that's being fought,

but as of 2012, consumption was 258,800 barrels per day, production was 182,500 barrels per

day, and reserves were 2.5 billion barrels.

While the United States consumes an average of about 19.9 million barrels per day, they

produce 9.3 million barrels per day, and has, in reserves, about 35.2 billion barrels.

Another factor of strength when fighting wars is the number of overseas military bases a

country has.

The United States outnumbers all other countries in this area and still maintains nearly 800

military bases in more than 70 countries and territories abroad.

And though Syria plays host to other countries military bases, by contrast, they have none

overseas of their own.

Who you partner with is also important when it comes to combat, and today The US maintains

military alliances with as many as 60 countries, including the mighty NATO military bloc in

Europe, Israel and a string of Gulf countries in the Middle East, Japan and South Korea

in East Asia, and Australia in the South Pacific.

Since the ongoing civil war, Syria has been increasingly isolated from countries in the

region, and the wider international community.

Syria does continue to foster good relations with its traditional allies, Iran and Russia,

and in total has 38 allied connections.

That's a brief comparison of the US and Syria's military capability.

Do you think Syria could even stand a chance?

If so, under what circumstances?

Don't Get Ripped Off | 10 INSANELY High Markups On Everyday Items - Duration: 8:39.

10 Insanely High Markups On Everyday Items [0:00:00]

Movie tickets, a 192% markup.

Popcorn, a 900% markup.

average markup price, so that you can use this information and go out there make better

buying decisions and save money.

[Music] Now, let me be clear.

I'm a businessman, I understand that companies need to mark things up to make a profit and

that's a good thing.

But, if you understand how much they've marked stuff up, as a consumer you can use

this information to negotiate.

You can use this information to look for sales to look for deals to save money and that's

what this video is all about.

So first up, let's talk about clothing and accessories.

Custom suits, what are we going to see the markup there?

Only about 100-200%, so actually coming in on the low end.

Next up, let's talk about designer suits, 200-400%.

The difference between custom and designer customs made for the individual designer is

made for the mass market.

Fragrances, anywhere from 100-500% markup.

Designer shoes, on average, 354% markup.

Designer jeans, a 650% markup.

Next up, let's talk about jewelries.

So, I'm talking about rings, talking about necklaces, cufflinks and we're going to

be talking about watches.

What we see here is anywhere from a 200% to over 1000% markup.

Oftentimes, it's going to be with gold we're going to see a higher markup than we will

on steel or silver.

And, when it comes down to precious stones, the highest markup of them all.

And coming in with the highest markup in menswear at 1329% markup, we've got designer eyewear.

Now, I know what you might be thinking.

Hey, I wear glasses, my son wears glasses, my wife wears glasses, someone I care about

Let's talk about the markups that you're going to run into.

That airline ticket, a 388% markup.

Oh, traveling internationally, let me add another 100-200% markup.

through your data plan.

Guess what?

You now got to pay by the texts.

Well, let your wife know you're out of the concert ready to get picked up, that text

[0:05:03] Wow!

Those are some crazy markups, but I get it companies got to stay in business.

However, I've got a road trip in front of me.

I need to stay awake, I want to go with a nice mocha.

Oh, wait a minute, if I go for something like that, probably a high markup, I'm going

to go for a plain coffee.

Well, guess what?

On a plain coffee, still a 1000% markup.

If I would have gone for that really nice mocha, closer to a 3000% markup.

So, what do you think, guys?

Can drinks get anymore absurd?

Can it get any crazier on the markup?

The answer is yes.

Topping the list coming in at 2000-4000% depending on how you buy it, guys, we've got bottled

water.

Yes, bottled water is at the top of the list.

Next up, let's talk about you hard-working students and how you're getting ripped off.

Let's start this off with your textbooks.

Textbooks on average, 163% markup.

I thought this would have been a lot higher and I'm sure there are some books out there

that have like a 300% or 400% markup, but, guys, on average 163%.

Next up, we've got printer ink coming in at a 300% markup.

Need a table for your apartment?

You need a bed for your dorm room?

Guys, a 400% markup on furniture.

That fancy calculator that does all those calculations, that TI83, guess what, gentlemen?

An 892% markup.

Oh, and it gets better, when you graduate you've got to buy a cap and gown.

You've got to buy it.

Guess what?

A markup of just over 1000%.

All of this fails in comparison though to the markup on prep classes.

We're talking classes that you get ready for the GRE for the SAT for the ACT for the

GMAT.

There's a 3082% markup on these classes.

Not too bad, right?

So, these next ones, I didn't know how to categorize them except wow.

Your funeral casket, a 350% markup.

I thought this percentage was going to be a lot higher, so in this case I'm actually,

look, not too bad compared to everything else we've seen.

Calling a psychic hotline apparently has a markup of 9186%.

Now, I'm not sure what to think about that.

Legit?

Probably not.

And wrapping things up, we've got healing crystals.

I've got to read this at 2493828% and they did calculate that and I don't know, it

sounds legit, right?

That's a legitimate markup.

All right, gentlemen, now it's your turn.

I want to hear from you down in the comments.

How do you deal with markups?

How do you save money when it comes to huge markups like we talked about in today's

video?

I want to hear from you, I want to learn from you.

Let me know down in the comments your tips and tricks.

And, guys, go check out Glasses USA.

If you are paying for retail, you are paying too much.

Guys, I've got a link down there which is going to have an awesome discount deal.

Use it or lose it.

Not going to be around forever.

And like I said for years, I've been using their service.

My wife uses glasses, my son wears glasses.

I actually have a pair of prescription glasses from them right here and I'll put this on.

And, the way the procedure work is I just went into my local eye clinic.

I actually had them do an exam.

I got the exact numbers I needed.

I simply sent it to them and in a very short time period they had it delivered to me.

I've got a wide variety of different frames.

I've been testing these things out, guys.

Great company great quality at a fair price.

I'm linking to them again down in the description.

All right, gentlemen, that's it.

Take care.

I'll see you in the next video.

[Music] Ah, I can taste the markup.

Yes, I can on my essential everyday life.

Ah, taste that markup.

Oh, yeah, probably what?

It's probably only 2000% on this one.

40 Outrageous Facts Most People Don't Know - Duration: 13:00.

40 Outrageous Facts Most People Don�t Know

Once you go down the rabbit hole, you will discover things that most people don�t know.

Here are 40 outrageous facts that most people are clueless about.

1. The IRS is not a U.S. Government Agency. It is an Agency of the IMF. (Diversified Metal

Products v. IRS et al. CV-93-405E-EJE U.S.D.C.D.I., Public Law 94-564, Senate Report 94-1148 pg.

5967, Reorganization Plan No. 26, Public Law 102-391.)

2. The IMF is an Agency of the UN. (Blacks Law Dictionary 6th Ed. Pg. 816)

3. The U.S. Has not had a Treasury since 1921. (41 Stat. Ch.214 pg. 654)

4. The U.S. Treasury is now the IMF. (Presidential Documents Volume 29-No.4 pg. 113, 22 U.S.C.

285-288)

5. The United States does not have any employees because there is no longer a United States.

No more reorganizations. After over 200 years of operating under bankruptcy its finally

over. (Executive Order 12803) Do not personate one of the creditors or share holders or you

will go to Prison.18 U.S.C. 914

6. The FCC, CIA, FBI, NASA and all of the other alphabet gangs were never part of the

United States government. Even though the �US Government� held shares of stock in

the various Agencies. (U.S. V. Strang , 254 US 491, Lewis v. US, 680 F.2d, 1239)

7. Social Security Numbers are issued by the UN through the IMF. The Application for a

Social Security Number is the SS5 form. The Department of the Treasury (IMF) issues the

SS5 not the Social Security Administration. The new SS5 forms do not state who or what

publishes them, the earlier SS5 forms state that they are Department of the Treasury forms.

You can get a copy of the SS5 you filled out by sending form SSA-L996 to the SS Administration.

(20 CFR chapter 111, subpart B 42 2.103 (b) (2) (2) Read the cites above)

8. There are no Judicial courts in America and there has not been since 1789. Judges

do not enforce Statutes and Codes. Executive Administrators enforce Statutes and Codes.

(FRC v. GE 281 US 464, Keller v. PE 261 US 428, 1 Stat. 138-178)

9. There have not been any Judges in America since 1789. There have just been Administrators.

10. According to the GATT you must have a Social Security number. House Report (103-826)

11. We have One World Government, One World Law and a One World Monetary System.

12. The UN is a One World Super Government.

13. No one on this planet has ever been free. This planet is a Slave Colony. There has always

been a One World Government. It is just that now it is much better organized and has changed

its name as of 1945 to the United Nations.

14. New York City is defined in the Federal Regulations as the United Nations. Rudolph

Gulliani stated on C-Span that �New York City was the capital of the World� and he

was correct. (20 CFR chapter 111, subpart B 422.103 (b) (2) (2)

15. Social Security is not insurance or a contract, nor is there a Trust Fund. (Helvering

v. Davis 301 US 619, Steward Co. V. Davis 301 US 548.)

16. Your Social Security check comes directly from the IMF which is an Agency of the UN.

(Look at it if you receive one. It should have written on the top left United States

Treasury.)

17. You own no property, slaves can�t own property. Read the Deed to the property that

you think is yours. You are listed as a Tenant. (Senate Document 43, 73rd Congress 1st Session)

18. The most powerful court in America is not the United States Supreme Court but, the

Supreme Court of Pennsylvania. (42 Pa.C.S.A. 502)

20. The King of England financially backed both sides of the Revolutionary war. (Treaty

at Versailles July 16, 1782, Treaty of Peace 8 Stat 80)

�and as history repeats itself, Prescott Bush, father of George HW Bush and grandfather

of George W. Bush, funded both sides of World War II. The Bush family have been traitors

to the American citizens for decades.

�Sarah, if the American people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have

done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched.�

George Bush Senior speaking in an interview with Sarah McClendon in December 1992

21. You can not use the Constitution to defend yourself because you are not a party to it.

(Padelford Fay & Co. v. The Mayor and Alderman of The City of Savannah 14 Georgia 438, 520)

22. America is a British Colony. (THE UNITED STATES IS A CORPORATION, NOT A LAND MASS AND

IT EXISTED BEFORE THE REVOLUTIONARY WAR AND THE BRITISH TROOPS DID NOT LEAVE UNTIL 1796.)

Respublica v. Sweers 1 Dallas 43, Treaty of Commerce 8 Stat 116, The Society for Propagating

the Gospel, &c. V. New Haven 8 Wheat 464, Treaty of Peace 8 Stat 80, IRS Publication

6209, Articles of Association October 20, 1774.)

23. Britain is owned by the Vatican. (Treaty of 1213)

24. The Pope can abolish any law in the United States. (Elements of Ecclesiastical Law Vol.1

29. We are slaves and own absolutely nothing not even what we think are our children. (Tillman

v. Roberts 108 So. 62, Van Koten v. Van Koten 154 N.E. 146, Senate Document 43 & 73rd Congress

1st Session, Wynehammer v. People 13 N.Y. REP 378, 481)

30. Military Dictator George Washington divided the States (Estates) into Districts. (Messages

and papers of the Presidents Vo 1, pg 99. Websters 1828 dictionary for definition of

Estate.)

31. � The People� does not include you and me. (Barron v. Mayor & City Council of

Baltimore. 32 U.S. 243)

32. The United States Government was not founded upon Christianity. (Treaty of Tripoli 8 Stat

154.)

33. It is not the duty of the police to protect you. Their job is to protect the Corporation

and arrest code breakers. Sapp v. Tallahasee, 348 So. 2nd. 363, Reiff v. City of Philadelphia,

477 F.Supp. 1262, Lynch v. N.C. Dept of Justice 376 S.E. 2nd. 247.

34. Everything in the �United States� is For Sale: roads, bridges, schools, hospitals,

water, prisons airports etc. I wonder who bought Klamath lake. Did anyone take the time

to check? (Executive Order 12803)

35. We are Human capital. (Executive Order 13037)

36. The UN has financed the operations of the United States government for over 50 years

and now owns every man, women and child in America. The UN also holds all of the Land

in America in Fee Simple.

37. The good news is we don�t have to fulfill �our� fictitious obligations. You can

discharge a fictitious obligation with another�s fictitious obligation.

38. The depression and World War II were a total farce. The United States and various

other companies were making loans to others all over the World during the Depression.

The building of Germanys infrastructure in the 1930�s including the Railroads was financed

by the United States. That way those who call themselves �Kings,� �Prime Ministers,�

and �Furor.�etc could sit back and play a game of chess using real people. Think of

all of the Americans, Germans etc. who gave their lives thinking they were defending their

Countries which didn�t even exist. The millions of innocent people who died for nothing. Isn�t

it obvious why Switzerland is never involved in these fiascoes? That is where the �Bank

of International Settlements�is located.Wars are manufactured to keep your eye off the

ball. You have to have an enemy to keep the illusion of �Government� in place.

39. The �United States� did not declare Independence from Great Britian or King George.

40. The etymology of government means to control the mind. From Latinised Greek gubernatio

�management, government�, from Ancient Greek ??�e???s�??, ??�????s?? (kybernismos,

kybernesis) �steering, pilotage, guiding�, from ??�e???? (kybernao) �to steer, to

drive, to guide, to act as a pilot� plus Latin mente �mind�.

This is East Asia—comprised of China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan—and this is Europe.

2.4 billion people live in these two areas—a third of the world's population.

More impressively, each of these two regions have a GDP of about $20 trillion.

Combined, just these countries account for half of the world's economic activity.

They are two of the world's most dense, most developed, and m ost economically interlinked

regions and are home to the world's largest and most influential cities yet laying between

them is just one country—Russia.

This more of less means that one country controls whether Europe can get to Asia and vice versa

and for a while, they couldn't.

During the cold war, almost universally, non-soviet airlines were not allowed to fly over the

Soviet Union.

This proved a huge barrier to travel.

In the 1950's, flying on BOAC, which later became British Airways, the fastest route

from London to Tokyo involved leaving London at 10am on Friday and stopping in Rome, Beirut,

Bahrain, Karachi, Calcutta, Yangon, Bangkok, and Manila before finally arriving in Tokyo

at 6am on a Sunday.

All in all, that was 36 hours and 10,000 miles of travel to get between two cities 6,000

miles apart and that was also their fastest service on the Comet jet plane.

Their slower and cheaper propeller plane service would leave London on a Sunday and not arrive

in Tokyo until Thursday after 88 hours of travel.

It was just hugely inefficient but there was a better way—over the Arctic.

SAS was the first to develop routes overflying the Arctic but other airlines soon followed.

These routes were first used to get to the American west coast faster.

This involved developing new navigation systems to overcome the issue of traditional magnetic

compasses not working properly in the high north.

In the 1950's no commercial airplane had the range to fly to the American west coast

non-stop but with SAS's new polar route they would take a relatively quick route from

Copenhagen stopping in Kangerlussuaq, Greenland and Winnipeg, Canada before arriving in Los

Angeles.

This cut what was previously a 36 hour trip down to 22.

With SAS having proven that commercial flights over the Arctic were both safe and commercially

viable, other airlines quickly followed not only setting up routes to the American west

coast but also to the far east.

The most direct route from London to Tokyo flies over Siberia, but since that airspace

was closed airlines chose another way—the other way around the world.

In 1960, only 40,000 people lived in Anchorage, Alaska and Alaska had just became a state

the year before, but its airport emerged as a crucial stopping point between Europe and

Asia.

BOAC's thrice weekly polar route from London to Tokyo would leave Heathrow at 1:45 pm,

arrive in Anchorage nine and a half hours later, stop for an hour to refuel, and then

fly the remaining seven hours to Tokyo.

All in all, it was timetabled to take only seventeen and a half hours—half of what

the trip took before.

It was as drastic a reduction in travel time as when Concorde cut New York to London flights

from six hours to three.

BOAC wasn't the only one.

All the major European carriers set up routes to the far east via Anchorage in the 1960s

and 1970s.

While Anchorage sees only a few dozen daily commercial flights mostly to the continental

US today, in the 1970s it was served by Air France, SAS, KLM, Iberia, Lufthansa, Japan

Airlines, Korean Air, and more.

This tiny town in Alaska quickly became one of the most connected and cosmopolitan areas

of the world with passengers and flight crews from all around the world stopping over all

because of where it was.

As aircraft became more advanced with longer range, there were a few airlines that managed

to avoid stopping in Anchorage on their way from Europe to East Asia.

Finnair, for example, starting flying from Helsinki to Tokyo non-stop in 1983 by flying

in international airspace north of Russia over the North Pole.

This made what is today a nine hour flight thirteen hours but it was still faster than

stopping in Anchorage.

Overwhelmingly, though, airlines continued to fly through Anchorage.

Eventually, though, the Soviet Union did of course fall in 1991 and with that Russia started

to grant overflight rights to European and East Asian airlines.

They first had to modernize and anglicize their air traffic control system.

All international pilots and air traffic controllers worldwide speak English but before, since

there were few international flights over Russia, the Russian air traffic controllers

didn't speak english.

Once the changes were made, airlines quickly switched to flying non-stop from Europe to

Asia over Siberia.

That left Anchorage largely deserted.

The airport built a large and modern international terminal in 1982 to handle all the traffic

passing through the airport but then, less than ten years later, all those airlines that

kept the airport busy left in droves.

Today, that international terminal, built to handle hundreds of flights per month, only

sees a flight every few days.

Russia, meanwhile, is prospering thanks to the opening up of its airspace.

Flying to Asia over Siberia saves airlines huge amounts of time and money so Russia therefore

charges airlines huge amounts of money to do so.

Exact numbers vary by airline and are kept secret, but for each roundtrip flight between

Europe and Asia, Siberian overflight fees are believed to account for up to $100 of

a single passenger's ticket price.

Russia has an enormous amount of power by controlling this airspace and they use it

to their advantage.

133 countries have signed the International Civil Aviation Organization's Transit Agreement

which essentially allows any airline from any country to fly through the signatory's

airspace but Russia, however, has not, so they can pick and choose which country's

airlines get to fly through their airspace.

The country can and has used its airspace as a geopolitical weapon—in 2014 they threatened

to shut down their airspace to European Union airlines in response to sanctions, in 2017

they threatened to close the airspace to Dutch airlines in response to a reduction in landing

slots for a Russian airline at Schiphol airport, and in April 2018 they tacitly threatened

to close their airspace to US airlines in response to US military action in Syria.

But Russia not only decides which countries can fly in its airspace, it also decides which

specific airlines.

There is more or less a rule that only one airline per European country can overfly Russia.

There are certainly exceptions—both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic are London based,

for example, but both overfly Siberia on their routes to Shanghai and Hong Kong, but Air

France is the only French airline with Siberian overflight rights, Lufthansa is the only German

airline with overflight rights, Iberia is the only Spanish airline with overflight rights,

and so on and so forth.

For the longest while, this wasn't a problem.

European countries aren't that big and few had more than one intercontinental airline

but nowadays, however, that's changing.

We're seeing more and more budget airlines competing with the large, established carriers

on long-haul routes but, with this system of overflight permissions, the legacy carriers

more or less have a monopoly on east Asian routes.

SAS, for example, operates out of Norway, Denmark, and Sweden and they have Siberian

overflight rights that take them to destinations like Tokyo, Beijing, and Shanghai.

SAS is therefore the only Scandinavian airline allowed to overfly Siberia.

But also in Scandinavia is Norwegian Air.

As one of the largest low-cost airlines in the world, Norwegian has pioneered long-haul

budget flying mainly focusing on flights from major European cities to the US.

The airline has said, though, that it wants to expand eastwards.

They already have flights from Copenhagen, Oslo, and Stockholm to Bangkok and from London

to Singapore, but these destinations are far enough south that they don't involve flying

over Siberia.

The airline has repeatedly applied for Siberian overflight rights and repeatedly been denied.

They argue that SAS does not operate any flight from Norway to Asia so they should be granted

permission as the only Norwegian airline but, since SAS is partially registered in Norway,

Russia isn't granting permission.

Norwegian does have a subsidiary legally registered in the UK but its unlikely that Russia would

grant overflight rights to this since British Airways and Virgin Atlantic also have overflight

rights.

Norwegian airlines also has a subsidiary based in Ireland which does not have an airline

with Siberian overflight rights but, SAS also has a subsidiary based in the country which

could mean that Russia will deny rights to this subsidiary too.

As of now, Russia has not granted overflight permission to any budget airline.

Others have tried—Icelandic airlines Wow Air and Icelandair have attempted to negotiate

overflight rights—but Russia views overflights as a way to make money and wants to charge

fees that would make it impossible for a low-cost airline.

For now, Wow Air has planned to start flights from Reykjavik to Delhi, India which, in a

direct routing would fly over Russia but can route around Russia by only adding 45 minutes

in extra flight time if an arrangement isn't made before flights start in December 2018.

Russia is a powerful politically-savvy country that knows that these overflight rights are

a huge negotiation tool.

Pulling the rights of a country's airline would be a huge financial blow and granting

rights is also a huge advantage.

Competition, though, is good for the consumer and this current system stifles it.

Until Russia starts granting overflight rights to budget airlines, nonstop flights to Asia

will stay expensive.

The fact that this shortcut over Siberia is now open at all, however, saves millions of

passengers yearly enormous amounts of time and money.

Watching this ten-minute video of our technological progress might make you think that we got

here in one giant leap, but that, of course, is not the case.

We had to develop new navigation systems to work around old-school compasses, build airports

to help planes refuel, and extend the range of aircraft.

The problem of advancing enough to be able to fly non-stop to the other side of the world

was huge but it was broken down and approached in small steps.

Brilliant works in a similar way—breaking a problem down, identifying the relevant concepts,

thinking clearly through each part, and building it back up to the conclusion.

In this manner, super complex topics like number theory or calculus can be easily understood

by anyone.

My favorite from Brilliant is their logic course, which starts simple, but then builds

up your skills so you can solve seemingly impossible problems.

Stossel: The College Scam - Duration: 5:49.

These days all Americans are told

go to college!

A higher education is the

single best investment.

But a new book, The Case Against Education

says this college push

is a big mistake.

How many thousands of hours

did you spend in classes studying

subjects that you never thought about again?

Economist Bryan Caplan says

most people who go to college shouldn't.

I learned little in college.

I liked my friends and illegal drinking,

but I slept through lectures.

At least tuition then was $2,000,

now it's almost $50,000.

People usually just want to talk

about the tuition, which is a big deal

but there's also all the years that

people spend in school

when they could have been doing something else

if you just take a look at the faces of

the students it's obvious that they're bored

and people are there primarily

in order to get a good job.

Because a diploma is a signaling device

for people with

no more brains than you have but they have

one thing you haven't got,

a diploma!

The con man who was the Wizard of Oz

hinted at the problem years ago.

Doctor of Thinkology.

Why'd you write this book?

The Wizard of Oz already made the argument.

But almost no one seems to believe it.

College graduation has never been more valuable

than it is today.

Education is my top priority

and by supporting this budget

you'll make it yours as well.

Meaning taxpayers must pay for it.

All the politicians say, go to college.

And there is evidence

the higher you go, the more money you make.

It's totally true that when people go

and get more and better and fancier degrees that

their income generally goes up,

but the reason why this happening is not really

that college is pouring tons of job skills into you,

the reason is that it's impressive.

You aren't saying,

you, individual don't go to college,

you're saying

we as a country

are suckers

to push it

and subsidize it.

Exactly.

Just because it is lucrative for an individual

doesn't mean that's a good

idea for country.

Because when most everyone goes to college,

that just raises the bar.

Imagine that you're at a concert

and everyone is sitting down and you

want to see better, what can you do?

Well you can stand up alright, and of course

then you'll see better.

Now it does not follow though

that if everyone stands up

everyone sees better.

You just block each other's views.

The same thing has happened

in education, says Caplan,

as more people got degrees,

more employers insisted on degrees.

The result isn't that graduates

get better jobs,

it's that employers require degrees for

most every job.

There are so many jobs

where it used to be crazy to think that you

would need a college degree,

like to be a waiter in a fancy restaurant

where now it would be very normal.

Of course a college education is about more than

getting a job,

it's also about learning

but Caplan says if students really

wanted to learn, they would just do it.

If you want to go to Princeton,

you don't have to apply,

just move to the town and start attending classes.

Nobody does that.

In people's bones they realize

that what really counts is that diploma.

Today that's a taxpayer subsidized diploma

and when you subsidize something,

you get more of it.

More students apply to college,

so schools raise tuition.

Tuition cost has risen

at triple the rate of inflation.

Schools use that money

to attract more students

and more tax money.

Many compete by advertising luxury.

They promote things like lobster dinners,

fancy pools.

Students will come to us and say,

this is what sealed the deal.

Used to be reading, writing, and

arithmetic,

and well we're now the 4th "r",

recreation.

600 colleges now have rock walls.

Give our Tigers spring break every time

they step in

to the Student Recreation Complex.

This is a public school,

taxpayers fund that spring break.

We also fund years of study in subjects unlikely

to help students get jobs,

like social justice, gender studies, multicultural studies.

If we're doing computer science

or electrical engineering,

then you probably

are actually learning a bunch of useful skills,

but every year we graduate about

twice as many psychology bachelor's degrees

as we do engineering bachelor's degrees.

Of course there's value in learning psychology,

philosophy,

literature,

many employers say they want liberal arts graduates.

It's technology married with liberal arts,

married with the humanities,

that yields us the result that makes our hearts sing.

It makes us better, wiser people.

But you can't assume that works.

How many years of people's lives should

they be made to study stuff

when the odds that they'll ever appreciate it are

1 in a 100, 1 in a 1000?

Maybe it makes our brains work better?

It's the kind of thing

you'd expect teachers say,

but there's a whole field of people who have

actually studied this.

Much as they want to believe that you're right

they generally come away

after looking at a lot of evidence and saying,

wow actually

it's wishful thinking.

Although Caplan calls college a scam,

he says it's great

for a few people.

People like him.

I'm a tenured professor. Your audience may not

realize how good of a gig this is,

but a tenured professor cannot be fired

for almost any reason

and you get a nice income

and there almost no demands upon your time.

You just have to teach five hours a week?

Well there's people who consider that

a horrible burden.

That's a scam that we're paying so much money for

people like you to teach you five hours.

Yeah well, I'm a whistleblower.

The bottom line of The Case Against Education:

taxpayers ought to know

that they're getting ripped off.

Government has made a tremendous effort

to make education

accessible to everyone.

I say really what we need to do

is to go back to a world

where college is not so accessible,

where it really distinguishes you,

and in this way,

people are going to be able to

start their lives years earlier.

The wisest solution all things considered

would be if government just got out.

It would be good if government

got out of a lot of things.

Movies That Completely Split Audiences In Half - Duration: 10:06.

While some movies are universally acclaimed, and others we can all pretty much agree are

just garbage.

But then there's a third category: films that inspire both adoration AND disgust, blockbusters

that split audiences completely in half.

This phenomenon spans all genres, but these films all have one thing in common—they're

movies everyone either loves or hates.

Forrest Gump

When Forrest Gump hit theaters in 1994, it grossed $677 million worldwide and won six

Academy Awards.

It elevated Tom Hanks from actor to superstar, and many of its iconic lines are still quoted

today.

"Run, forrest.

Run!"

It's currently ranked on IMDB as the 12th best film of all time, and has a 95% audience

approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

But for all the love Gump has received, it's picked up some haters, too.

"He must be the stupidest son of a bitch alive, but he sure is fast!"

It caused a huge upset when it beat Pulp Fiction for best picture at the Academy Awards.

Many right-wing news outlets have lauded Forrest Gump as one of the best conservative films

of all time.

But to put it simply, critics feel the movie is all melodrama with no real message, while

fans love it for its simple perspective of a complicated world.

"life was like a box of chocolates.

You never know what you're gonna get."

Titanic

Sailing into theaters in 1997, Titanic became the highest-grossing film of all time.

The epic period piece became a major cultural touchstone, inspiring everyone who's ever

been on a boat to shout the iconic line:

"I'm the king of the world!"

"I'm king of the world!"

"Hey, somebody has to do this: I'm king of the WWWWWWW"

"Don't ruin a perfect week!"

Its beautiful costumes, tragic romance and revolutionary special effects touched so many

moviegoers that Roger Ebert wrote an entire essay about how he could "hear the warmth

in people's voices when they discuss it and see the light in their eyes."

But critic Owen Gleiberman says the film "gave rise to hater culture."

For every enthusiast, there's a cynic who feels the film is too cliché, and that its

theme song, My Heart Will Go On, should only be played for prisoners.

Even Kate Winslet herself said the song made her want to throw up.

"How often do you listen to Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On?"

"absolutely never."

People have also not been able to let go of the fact that Jack absolutely could have fit

on the door with Rose instead of freezing to death in the ocean.

he should have tried harder to get on that door.

I think he could have

"totally enough room, right?"

"YES!!!"

But for the most part, fans think the film is romantic perfection, while the haters just

think it's romantic fluff.

At least everyone can agree on the romance angle, though!

"You know, No matter how noble Jack's intentions might have been, sometimes discretion is the

better part of valor."

The Passion of the Christ

Deadpool may the highest-grossing R-rated film worldwide, but when it comes to the domestic

box office, The Passion of the Christ is the king of kings.

The biblical gorefest earned $370 million at home, which is largely thanks to Christian

moviegoers.

Some congregations rented out theaters for special screenings, while others actually

screened the film in their churches.

"The faithful are flocking to this theatre this morning.

The Passion is playing on all 20 screens."

One man was so passionate that he bought 6,000 tickets and gave them away for free.

But many people saw the movie as anti-Semitic for its murder-hungry mobster portrayal of

Jews, along with the fact that director Mel Gibson refused to have any Jewish scholars

advise him on the subject matter.

Audiences were also shocked by the film's extreme violence.

"It was very graphic.

Yeah, extremely graphic.

But it was probably true to life."

Considering the subject material, it's no wonder audiences either hailed Gibson as a

cinematic saint or crucified him for his controversial film.

No Country for Old Men

In 2007, the world was introduced to Anton Chigurh, one of the most iconic bad guys in

movie history.

"what's the most you ever lost on a coin toss?"

"the most you ever lost on a coin toss?"

No Country for Old Men won four Academy Awards, including best picture, and was hailed as

one of the Coen brothers' best movies.

It is currently ranked by IMDB as the 159th best film of all time.

But a lot of people couldn't get past the movie's ending.

The hero dies, the bad guy gets away, and after Tommy Lee Jones chats about his mysterious

dream, the movie cuts to black.

For those who were expecting a conventional finale, it's one of the most infuriating movie

endings of all-time.

Leading man Josh Brolin knew the ending was going to tick people off, and told MTV:

"I love that people leave the movie saying, 'I hate the ending.

I was so pissed.'

Good, it was supposed to piss you off."

The Dark Knight Rises

The Dark Knight Rises was surrounded by so much hype that fanboys and Christopher Nolan

himself were defending it before it even hit theaters in 2012.

When film critic Marshall Fine posted the first negative review, his website crashed

under the rush of angry responses.

Rotten Tomatoes eventually had to shut down the film's comments section, a first in the

website's history.

Despite a spirited defense from hardcore fans, the film has been picked apart for plot holes

and logical inconsistencies.

Moviegoers were also upset with the film's ending, which showed Bruce Wayne alive and

well and on vacation with Selina Kyle.

Some thought the movie was a critique of the Occupy Wall Street movement, while others

suspected that Bane was a metaphor for republican presidential hopeful Mitt Romney.

"Calm down Dr., now is not that time for fear.

That comes later."

Inspiring everything from death threats to devastating takedowns, The Dark Knight Rises

is Nolan's most hotly contested movie to date.

Man of Steel

Depending on who you ask, Man of Steel is either the best Superman movie or the worst.

Zack Snyder's depiction of Superman as a cynical, complex and tortured hero stood out in stark

contrast to the colorful and quippy films Marvel had been cranking out.

Many fans appreciated this somber take, and the film earned $668 million worldwide.

However, many fans preferred Christopher Reeve's cheerful and fun version of Superman to this

dark and gritty approach.

Others were horrified by the sheer volume of collateral damage amassed during Superman's

duel with General Zod.

But perhaps the biggest controversy came when the man of steel straight-up murders his enemy,

a move that seemed to go against Clark Kent's strict moral code.

Even producer Christopher Nolan initially opposed the ending, which producer David S.

Goyer revealed on The Empire Film Podcast.

"killing zod was a big thing and something that Chris Nolan originally said there's

no way you can do this."

The murder made it into the film, and sent the man of steel in a direction that not everyone

was happy with.

La La Land

When La La Land danced into theaters, it won over audiences and critics alike.

It's also tied with Titanic and All About Eve for earning the most Oscar nominations

ever -- 14 in total.

Audiences far and wide were touched by this movie-musical homage and love letter to Hollywood,

which was written and directed by Damien Chazelle.

However, for every La La Land fan, there's a cynic rolling their eyes.

Many were annoyed by Ryan Gosling's Sebastian, who was portrayed as the white savior of jazz,

a genre that was pioneered by black musicians.

"it's dying, Mia, it's dying on the vine.

And the world says 'let it die.

It had it's time.'

Well, not on my watch."

Others felt Emma Stone's character, Mia, was far less complex than her male counterpart.

Ultimately, La La Land was a movie made for the ones who dream, but for many people, that

dream was a nightmare.

mother!

When it comes to polarizing his audience, director Darren Aronofsky has outdone himself

with mother!, an allegorical horror film that traps Jennifer Lawrence in a never-ending

nightmare of strangers with no respect for personal space.

The film was not for everyone, scoring a middling 69% on the tomatometer and an audience score

of 50%.

While horror fans enjoyed how gruesome and bloody it was, others argued that the film

was too heavy-handed with its allegories and symbolism.

"you never loved me.

You just loved how much I loved you."

"I gave you everything!"

Needless to say, with the way mother! divided its audience, it might be the very epitome

of a "love it or hate it" film.

The Last Jedi

When Rey tracked down Luke Skywalker in The Force Awakens, fans around the world couldn't

wait to see what would happen in the next Star Wars film.

Two years later, The Last Jedi caused a great disturbance in the force.

Directed by Rian Johnson, it quickly became one of the best-reviewed films of the franchise,

with some critics hailing it as the best Star Wars film since The Empire Strikes Back.

Fans praised the film for subverting expectations, demystifying the Jedi mythology, and paving

a new path for the franchise.

However, many Star Wars fans saw The Last Jedi as an attack on George Lucas's original

universe.

While the film scored a 91% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, its audience score currently

sits at only 47%.

The biggest upset seemed to have to do with Luke Skywalker, whose portrayal as a moody

pessimist upset even Mark Hamill, who played him.

"I think the world of Rian Johnson, I said to him I fundamentally disagree with what you

think about Luke."

Then again, audiences weren't too pleased with The Empire Strikes Back when it was first

released either.

Maybe in a few decades, fans will look back on The Last Jedi with a little more fondness,

too.

Bright

Described on Deadline as "Lethal Weapon meets Lord of the Rings," Bright unfortunately did

not live up to any of the hype surrounding it.

The Netflix original movie, which was written by Max Landis and directed by David Ayer,

was universally hailed as a total mess.

From its sloppy world-building to cringe-worthy dialogue, not even Will Smith's charisma could

save Bright from scoring an abysmal 26% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

"fairy lives DON'T matter today."

Somehow, though, its audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes currently sits at 85%.

Netflix president Reed Hasting said Bright was one of the site's "most viewed original

titles ever," and a sequel is already in the works.

For whatever reason, plenty of people watched Bright, which seems to be the only aspect

of the film that anyone can agree on.

Rat Rod Dually Takes Home the First Win at Hot Wheels' Legends Tour - Duration: 4:50.

(truck engine)

- Hot Wheels, to a guy that builds are...

they're everything.

(rhythmic rock music)

- [Presenter] We are thrilled that Mitch Allread

with F5 Rat Rod dually, down at the end

is taking win one out of Hot Wheels Legends.

Congratulations Mitch.

- Thank you.

- Thank you for embodying the challenger spirit

and really like living, breathing and bleeding Hot Wheels.

In not just how you built it, but what you made.

It is a beautiful work of art. So thank you.

(audience applause)

- [Mitch] I was on the verge of crying, I still am.

And this is such a last minute thing for me.

I just can't believe that it happened like this.

Really, really neat. Let's head up to Simi Valley.

(truck engine)

(lighthearted guitar music)

Hi my name's Mitch and we're here in

Simi Valley, California. My little shop.

My little 1000 square foot shop.

I've worked in motorsports for a long time

and then I worked on a Pikes Peak Truck that

a guy by the name of Mike Ryan owns.

I was on the team that built that first truck.

After finishing that truck I just thought it

would be really cool to have something like that.

Something with a diesel in it. It was kind of inspirational.

Engine here is a 7.3 liter.

Power Stroke diesel.

The donor vehicle was a '97 F350, crew cab, dually.

This particular motor didn't come with an air cooler,

so I retrofitted it. And used a Subaru intercooler.

I painted it green to kinda replicate the other green

that you find in the rest of the truck.

The seat frames were green and the engines green.

It's been on the road since March of '09

and prior to that it took me six years.

And it got shelved a couple of times and almost sold once.

Originally is was two dump trucks that had

gotten wrecked on the side of the road.

Somebody drove through a fence and it smashed them both

and so took the best of the two of them.

And kinda melted them together as far

as the stock body that I wanted.

The grill shell and hood came from

a separate truck than the cab.

And so I kinda put them together that way.

(lighthearted guitar music)

Having worked in Motorsports, of course I'm gonna

have that bent, I'm gonna have that motorsports inspired

holes, lightening holes and roll cages,

almost all my builds have roll cages in them.

I like to say it handles like a Porsche,

but it rides like a truck.

(Mitch laughs)

(lighthearted guitar music)

The rock screen on the back window,

this was on the original truck.

That was protecting the back window from

rocks coming in cause it was a gravel truck.

So then I copied that for the door panels

and the screen on the floor. This will raise your feet

off the floor because the master cylinder

and the brake booster are mounted on the back of the cab.

So we raised the floor basically up off the rods.

That thing has been driven as a daily driver for

years and years. It just recently has been kind of

shelved and weathering as it does.

And so I brought it in and I re-checkerboarded the top,

cause it had all faded away and ya could barley see it

and I liked that. Cause the rest of the truck is

not painted actually. It's all natural patina

from an original dump trucks.

I been driving that truck for nine years.

And I know the kind of attention that it gets.

Everywhere I go it's like I'm in a parade everyday.

It doesn't matter where I go or where I been

that truck always garners attention.

I have people follow me off the freeway

and ask me to take pictures. I have since it was built.

I begun to anticipate a little bit that I might be a winner.

And so I started to get a little emotional about it really,

because Hot Wheels to a car guy

and to a guy that builds are... they're everything.

I mean I have hundreds of them.

There was this big tree and would build these little ramps

and stuff up to this dream house right.

And I would build this little dream house,

this little diorama dream house.

And there would be always Hot Wheels on the driveway.

OK, that's where is started for me.

When I was 8, 10 years old or something like that.

(bouncy piano music)

Frasier's Coded Gay References in "The Matchmaker" - Duration: 8:35.

"Don't take this wrong, but it never occurred to me you might be gay."

"It never occurred to me you might be straight."

It wasn't easy to put gay characters on TV in the 1990s.

But one show managed to be gayer than pretty much any other mainstream sitcom of the time.

Frasier had two huge advantages when it came to LGBT inclusion: first, a ton of gay people

worked on it, from the cast to the writers to directors.

And second, its comedy hinges on misunderstandings, farce, and unspoken social taboos -- and unspoken

taboos just so happen to be something queer people know a thing or two about.

All aboard and welcome to Matt Baume's Culture Cruise, where we take a deep dive on queer

topics on TV, in movies, in books and games and more.

This time we're taking a peek at Season 2 Episode 3 of Frasier -- The Matchmaker.

Culture Cruise is made possible by the lovely folks who pledge their support on Patreon

-- folks like Mark Boeder.

Thank you Mark!

If you're enjoying these videos head over to patreon.com/mattbaume or click the link

in the description to join the folks like Mark who make Culture Cruise possible.

Like so many of Frasier's best episodes, it's a comedy of errors and manners that

hinges on incorrect romantic assumptions.

These kinds of comedies used to be much more common in decades past, when it was socially

taboo to discuss topics like romance openly.

But by the mid-90s there wasn't much left that couldn't be talked about on TV.

The one exception was queerness, still considered forbidden and risque enough to facilitate

a screwball misunderstanding.

Gay storylines were the secret ingredient for a perfect comedy of errors -- all that

was required was that a show be brave enough to broach the topic, and queer enough to get

the tone right.

The episode starts with Daphne lamenting the state of her love life.

"You've been seeing a man?"

"Only when I close my eyes and concentrate."

Frasier is determined to find Daphne a date.

But when his producer, Roz, suggests a few men, Frasier only manages to insult her.

"You and Daphne are entirely different kinds of women.

While Daphne is very shy and inexperienced, you are more, well a lot, well one would be

hard pressed to find anyone more..."

"Oh I get it.

I'm out of here."

"Roz, please."

"No, I can't stay.

The fleet is in."

And Roz is still a bit miffed back at the office, when the new boss pops by.

Tom's the new station manager, just arrived, and Frasier makes a good first impression.

Better than he realizes, in fact.

When Tom mentions that he recently had a breakup, Frasier gets the idea to introduce him to

Daphne…

"I take it then, you're unattached?"

"Yes, but I haven't given up hope."

"Well you may have come to the right place."

"Really."

"Yes."

And of course, Tom thinks he's flirting.

What we're seeing, although Frasier doesn't realize it, is the dance of subtext that queer

people have to go through all the time.

Especially in the 90s, there was a risk to openly identifying as LGBT, so queer people

had to employ subtle signals to communicate.

Things like noticing each other's appearance …

"Say that's a beautiful tie."

Sharing interest in culture...

"Yes, I love London.

The museums, the theater."

"Oh yeah, I'm a big theater buff.

Three shows a week."

A hundred years prior, queer people in England spoke in a dialect called Polari, which they

used to communicate without risking violence or arrest.

"How is Pauline?"

"She's had nanti bully fake.

Dyed her riah, her ends are a real mess."

"Nanti bona.

I hope she vaggeried straight to the crimper."

These days, it's not quite so perilous to be publicly gay.

We don't need a whole second language.

But even today, in most states you can be fired for being gay.

You can be evicted, lose your student loans, get kicked out of school.

So no wonder Tom is cautious, and uses subtle signals to identify himself in a way that

he could still plausibly deny that he's gay if needed.

Of course, the problem is that Frasier's too clueless to realize that's what's

going on.

Having established some rapport with Tom, he invites him over for dinner -- oblivious

to the conversation that Tom thinks they just had.

"He seems like a nice guy."

"Ah, he's okay."

"I hope he's more than okay.

He just asked me out on a date."

Misunderstandings like these have long been the backbone of sitcoms.

And although Roz could clear up the whole thing with a single sentence, she's still

annoyed at Frasier, so...

"Listen, Tom, there's something you need to know about Frasier."

"What?"

"He's nuts about chardonnay."

What follows is a standard Frasier dinner party of errors, where every innocent line

is a double entendre.

"That's a hell of a view."

"It's even better from the bedroom."

Queer people have always had to live in entendre, and become fluent in subtext for the sake

of survival.

As a result, we're always listening for the meaning behind the meaning, even when none

is intended.

"I usually hang out a place called Duke's.

Great crowd.

Lot of young cops."

"I didn't ask Tom to dinner so he'd end up talking to you all night in the kitchen.

There are others who would like to have a crack at him."

This episode is able to deploy those double meanings so well because it was written by

a gay man, Joe Keenan.

It was directed by a gay man, David Lee.

And the series itself stars multiple queer people, though they didn't talk about it

at the time: there's David Hyde Pierce, who would publicly come out years later.

John Mahoney avoided talk about his sexuality, but outside of Frasier he aligned himself

with LGBT projects.

The actor who played Bulldog, Dan Butler, is gay, as is Edward Hibbert, who played Gil

Chesterton.

With so many queer people involved with the show, it's no wonder it's so fluent in

gay misunderstandings.

It's almost a shame when the farce finally enters the inevitable unravelling stage:

"I sensed you had a problem with me dating Frasier."

"Well if you must know...I'm sorry, what was the question?"

It's interesting that Niles is the first one to understand what's going on, and also that

he instantly gets it.

Though his character is presented as straight, he is very queer coded.

Not only does Niles conform to the gay stereotype of prissy fussiness, there's also a more

genuine undercurrent of timid inhibition and self-restraint that mirrors the caution exhibited

by so many closeted gay men.

So it's not so surprising that Niles is the first to be taken into Tom's confidence.

And unlike most sitcom characters who learn that someone is gay, he accepts it instantly,

instead of going through denial:

"That's impossible.

Tom's not gay."

"He seems to be under that impression."

With the dinner party breaking up, Frasier finally realizes what's happened and he

has a little gay panic.

"You're cute when you're nervous."

"Well then I must be downright adorable."

And then we get to the misunderstanding that is the basis of the episode's farce:

"Don't take this wrong, but it never even occurred to me you might be gay."

"It never occurred to me you might be straight."

That confusion -- the double-meanings, the subtext, the potential for misunderstanding

-- is a natural component of queer conversation.

Because of the violence directed at LGBT people, we often have to talk in code so we can avoid

detection, or to signal each other without anyone else noticing.

That the subtext goes over the head of people like Frasier isn't a bug.

It's a feature.

Tom departs the dinner party with a few questions:

"Does this mean your dad's not gay either?"

"No, no, dad's not gay."

"But Niles -- come on."

And once again, there may be a double meaning behind his words.

He's asking about Martin and Niles the characters, but he could easily be asking the same about

John and David, the actors who play them.

Two men who had, at the time, chosen to avoid being open about their sexuality -- and who

were working in an industry where coming out could mean the end of your career.

In 1994, primetime TV certainly wasn't ready for a conversation about THAT.

So you could take that line at face value, and believe that's it's ONLY referencing

the characters.

You could plausibly claim that there's no subtext whatsoever to those lines spoken by

a gay character, penned by a gay writer, and crafted by a gay director.

That's certainly possible.

But for there NOT to be at least a little hidden meaning to the closing line of the

show would just be a little bit … queer.

How To 3D Print with LASERS! (SLA) - Duration: 12:10.

hey guys we're Evan and Katelyn and today we're gonna 3d print with lasers we've

had a lot of fun in the past using 3d printers to make silicone molds so the

part that's least fun is a priming and sanding and priming and sanding and prime

sand prime sand we want to avoid that so we have another 3d printed

silicone mold we're gonna make for a different project and we purposely made

this design a lot more complex so that we couldn't really easily sand it by

hand which kind of forces us to figure out SLA printing which uses a laser and

resin to make prints so smooth they shouldn't needed too much sanding we

never done this before so hopefully we can figure out how to

use this new technology and different finishing techniques so we end up with a

castable print and not a pile of goo Thank You MatterHackers for sponsoring

this video so first step is we're gonna print this design using fused filament

fabrication which is what we normally do in PLA because it's a lot cheaper this

is the first prototype we're gonna go ahead and go through all the prototypes

here on the taz 6 before we move over to the moai and do some lasering you can

see the layer lines present on this print right here that's why we have to

sand and prime and sand and prime so we're gonna be avoiding that when we do the

next print for now test fit I guess we haven't actually explained what we're

making we'll go into it more in the next video where we actually make this thing

but this is a candle holder that is supposed to hold two different types of

candles so we want to make sure that the design works oh hey haha it does work! I'm assuming if this one

works this one does yeah wow that looks really cool this design works so now we

can move forward with the SLA before we do should we explain what SLA is a

little bit stereolithography it's it's um you basically have a vat of resin and

that resin is UV curable and then you have a laser a UV laser that shoots up

into this bin of resin ha ha ha so good at explaining things and this laser very

precisely cures bits of the resin and it builds it up into a print alright so

we have the model all done we have it scaled by half

we want to save on resin on his first print while we're testing things lasers

will be happening soon good luck lasers! I'm gonna show you

what's going on in there yeah yeah I'm gonna see it yeah so that's the print bed

it prints upside down and raises up layer by layer and there's a little laser

going alrighty well that goes we are actually going to make a curing box

for this so that we can cure it okay so resin prints cure with UV light

so you can just put them in the Sun to cure it but we're not that patient so

we're gonna build a UV box instead so to make that you need a box foil UV light

spray adhesive and we're gonna go really fancy with a little solar-powered

turntable hmm

let's go see if the print's done

look at that oh that's so cool doop some goop oh man that is so

cool looking it's so tiny and delicate there's cat hair on it first print super

successful it looks great it is goopy though from the resin that just came

from so we're gonna try two different methods to clean this up before curing

it one we're just gonna put it in the jar of alcohol and then water and shake

it all around and then to get fancier we're also gonna use an ultrasonic cleaner

and then see what difference that makes

feels better it feels like it's off feels a lot better when I first took it

out it was like super slimy and now it feels kind of matte so I think it's good

now it's time to cure it fully and see how it did time to get fancy time to get

fancy this is our turntable so tiny okay this is supposed to be solar-powered

so we're gonna see if this works ah it's spinning hey that's so cool oh wait that's so pretty it's so pretty

oh my gosh alrighty so while this cures we want to thank matterhackers they

sent us the moai they helped us figure out things like how to make this box how

to finish the prints and they sponsored this video so if you have any 3d printing

needs definitely check them out second print is done looks good looks the same

as the last one which makes sense so this one is gonna go into the ultra

fancy ultrasonic vibration machine to see if it can clean it better than the

first one alright so how this works this sends

ultrasonic vibrations into the liquid and since we don't want alcohol in here

since this has electronics and stuff we're gonna isolate it in this jar right

here now the vibrations will travel through the water into this and the alcohol

will clean it and let's see how this works it sounds like a being electrocuted we're

gonna have to get the little handheld camera you can see things shaking off of

this alright now let's rinse it off in water and back into alcohol one more time and

then water and then curing time this is basically the same as the two jar method

it just might end up with a better finish because it's like more consistent

vibrations in the alcohol well like stronger vibrations

i dunno i was shaking that can pretty strong ultrasonic I don't know the jars might

work just fine that's what we're gonna figure out yeah that's what we're testing

okay same thing into the jar into the jar okay so now we're gonna swap the

part that's in the curing station this guy's been going for a couple hours now

we can't like note the feel yet because we're going to do a comparison tomorrow

morning yes I'm going to pick this up without feeling the surface finish

new one in yep now we wait then we compare all right so it's the next day

everything should be ready time to compare the two resin thingamagoppers

ultrasonic resin print shaken not stirred resin print they feel very

similar I had a theory simple surfaces like this wouldn't really need it but if

you have like a lot of complex like little holes then like tiny little

things they need to get access to you might need it but for something like

this just go with this shaken because it's easier and cheaper yeah winner

no wait winner I mean really we're all winners here

because they both worked so next we're just gonna print the full-size and we'll

probably go into montage mode

it didn't work it looks like the first layer for the inner section got stuck to this bottom

plate instead of sticking here because of suction forces so I'm gonna tilt it

add some supports and we'll try it again all righty you said here's the new

design the tilt should prevent it from getting stuck again

let's see if this one worked is Joobie helping yes

this is really exciting not just because of the laser and because of internal

partially I love SLA 3d printing and I don't think that we're gonna have to

sand this at all I'm excited to use this for all sorts of upcoming projects

they make resins that are castable that you can like pour molten liquid in that

burn off we're gonna use this to make a silicone mold and cast concrete in it so

that'll be an upcoming video if you have any questions or if you have any other

cool ideas of stuff we could do with these resin prints let us know in the

comments also thank you again to matterhackers for sponsoring this video

if you want more if you want our behind the scenes look about how this project

went head over to patreon dot com slash evan and katelyn where we're gonna do the after-show

right now. so see you guys there. bye!
