Youtube daily report Jul 19 2018

You arrived yesterday from Toronto!

I arrived yesterday yes,

I finished the tour last week.

We actually toured in the United States and Europe

with Madjid Jordan, I don't know if you know them,

they're two guys from Toronto, I met them there.

They asked me to come and open their world tour,

and I arrived yesterday from Toronto.

I propose, if you agree, that you return virtually where you were two days ago.

Ok !

It's a bit like your office in a way!

No, well, most of the time when I go to Toronto

I work in this studio, and it's an honour for me,

because when I started I made music in my room,

and I moved from my room to this studio.

It's truly amazing that I had the opportunity to work in this studio.

For those who wouldn't know him, on the screen we can see 40,

Drake's producer,

we can say, one of the biggest producers in the world.

Yes, he's one of the biggest producers of the last decade.

He started with Drake actually,

they're very close.

He made "Take Care" with him, and lots of albums

and they keep working together today.

Can you tell us exactly how you met 40?

How did it happen?

At first, it happened on internet.

I didn't produce Hip Hop beats at all,

but electronic music.

I listened to Drake's album "Nothing Was The Same", released in 2013,

and it immediately caught my ears, I don't know why in fact, melodically it was ...

In some pieces you could find three different tracks in the same one,

And I really liked that.

I started a small project, in my room,

where I imagined Drake on,

in this same kind of atmosphere and sounds.

By the time I made this project,

I received a message from 40 on Twitter.

So at first...

I jumped all over my room!

But I didn't think for a second: "That's it, I'm going to Toronto …"

I just thought: "It's cool that he likes what I'm doing

and I'll continue to send him some stuff."

That's what I did, I kept on and sent him some projects,

and he sent me a message two months later.

He told me: "I'd like you to come to Toronto."

They were working on "Views" at the time,

and he asked me to help him finish this project.

That's it! And then we pursued our collaboration,

and I've been living there for three years now.

Thanks !

I suggest we watch a second extract.

In France, your name appears in the credits of Lomepal,

but also Nekfeu.

How do you manage to put all that together?

In fact, for me there's no real difference between

collaborating with Americans or Canadians, or French people.

Basically, with Lomepal we had a good chemistry.

I started sending him some tracks,

he came to my parent's home,

It was even before I left for Toronto.

It's very organic.

When I work with someone, it's not a plan at all.

We met, we understood each other,

he likes what I do and vice versa,

so let's go!

I don't care where people come from, or their fame.

I just want to make music.

That's how I worked with them.

Same thing with Nekfeu.

He followed me on Twitter and asked me for instrumentals.

Then we met, and we got on very well, that's it!

Awesome. Third extract!

This is the one track that helped make your artist name Stwo known around the world.

Yes

So, what's the difference between this track and those you created for others?

I really have two personalities,

I guess I am schizophrenic!

There's a part of me who produces for people,

and there's another one for my own music.

When I have no inspiration to produce for people

I develop my own projects,

and vice versa.

This is what I do to always have fun and not get bored,

it's my way of remaining inspired.

And in fact, "Lovin U" is just a track that I made

without thinking of inviting this or that rapper on it.

I made the track, sampled some voices

and uploaded it on Soundcloud at the time, it was in 2013.

This is how I started having my own tours,

some people wanted to see me play my music in clubs.

And I've been told then:

"Do you know you can make music for other guys,

they can kick on it and everything! "

That's when I started creating some projects for Drake,

and it worked out of the box ...

It's really not calculated,

I can't even explain to you,

I really don't have any plan!

I know there's a lot of people who say: "You have a vision."

I have no vision, I work day to day!

I wake up, I make a beat,

sometimes I don't make any music for two weeks...

I think that's why it works,

because it's not a strategy!

Precisely, in terms of creation,

when I called you and I asked you:

"Could you send me a picture of your studio?"

There you answered me:

"No, because my studio is wherever I happen to be,

with my laptop and my Maschine, and that's it."

All I need is a room,

with no distraction,

just a keyboard, a computer and Maschine.

Starting from there, I can make music anywhere.

You can feel this in my music by the way,

it's not complicated at all,

it's very simple,

you'll see, I'll show you!

I really believe this is what's the most interesting,

working with as few things as possible and make it work!

Precisely, what if we set up your studio,

if You set up your studio tonight, at La Place?

Yes, I can try and show you!

I thought, while I'm at it, I'm going to show you something Hip Hop or RnB.

Let me show you the last track I released.

It's a track featuring Jeremih, I don't know if you know him,

he's an American RnB singer.

I've always been a fan of Jeremih

and I was lucky enough to collaborate with him on this track.

I'm gonna show you how I made the instrumental.

I work on Logic.

I use Maschine a lot,

but always in Logic.

What I usually do,

I open the interface and I build my patterns.

I don't know why, but in this track,

I made the whole session in line in Maschine.

So I don't even have an audio track of Maschine,

everything is directly played up to the end of the track.

But maybe I'll play it before talking about it.

So basically, as you can see,

there's a lot of space,

I never try to scare the person who's going to sing.

Basically for me, the more space in the piece,

the more the rapper or the singer will be able to project himself.

It's true that, asproducers, sometimes

we can't help but put a lot of elements because we want to impress people.

When in fact for the rapper, the less there is the better.

They're scared when there are lots of drums, lots of synths,

they wonder: "How can I deal with this, I have no more space..."

Hence, I really try to clean up my tracks

and remain as simple as possible.

This way, as soon as I play the track, they can hear melodies right away,

and they're totally free to do what they like on it.

So, here's the session.

The synths I used in this track come from Omnisphere.

Regarding the VST,

for my bass, I use only two, Reaktor and Razor.

I use the one called "Punch in the Balls",

and this one, too, "Under the Top".

Basically, "Punch in the Balls" is my 808.

I'm not keen on using ready-made 808 sounds,

I don't know why, I never managed to use them.

That's why I made my own 808,

but it's really stylish,

we can change the drive easily.

Regarding "Under the Top", it's more of a sub in fact,

for the breakdowns, the moments when you really need

a bass throughout the track.

I don't add any compressors or anything,

I like its original sound.

I play a little bit with the cut off or things like that,

but for the most part I use it as it is.

There's a bass, a synth, and then I added lots of drums.

I also had to mix the vocals for this track.

Even if we think we're producers and all we have to do is creating the beat,

for me it was a great experience to spend whole nights

to try and mix voices, because it's something I never did before.

Now I feel more comfortable

to work with singers.

So just take, for fun, an a cappella on internet,

which is completely dry, where there's nothing on it,

and try to make it the most listenable as possible.

I often challenge myself like that,

it's geeky stuff, but I go on Youtube and say to myself:

"So, how can I make a voice sound the best possible",

even if I do not need it for my project.

I learned almost everything I do on Youtube, for real.

You tap "tutorial no matter what" and it's great.

They explain everything.

That's how I learned most of what I know,

and I experiment a lot, too.

The second project I wanted to show you is slighlty different.

I made this track at home in Toronto, so not at all in a studio.

It's a 14-minute piece, where the bpm changes all the time,

but using only the same sounds,

and it delivers a lot of different atmospheres.

It was super exciting, and I put it on my Soundcloud.

As you can see, the session is huge.

In this part, there's one track I did in "Sketches",

for Native Instruments.

If you have a drought of inspiration, or are looking for new things,

challenge yourself a bit like:

"I'm gonna create a 15-minutes track " or ..

It's just a kind of training, that's what I do, personally.

And I think that's why I keep loving it, remain motivated,

it's because I challenge myself

instead of doing the same things all the time.

If you make only Hip-Hop beats for example, come home tomorrow

and make a piece of Electro or Dubstep or something else.

It's all about pushing all the time motivation and inspiration

to explore new things.

And again, if you're looking for some pianos,

there's the Una Corda libray, there are plenty of pianos and it's super cool.

And for the bass,

there are plenty of great sounds on Razor that you can use.

These two are really my go-to,

I use them all the time.

Same, I make all my drums on Maschine,

and the day I understood that thing ...

I guess you all know it,

but I told it to a guy who didn't it and it changed his life,

so I'll tell you.

Basically, let's say you're making your drums pattern,

just move it to your daw,

and it's turned straight into .wav format.

It's really fast!

It provides you directly a .wav file,

I mean, an audio file.

In one click, and it's done in two seconds.

It changed my life and since then, I do it all the time.

Something else. Here, if you select just one sound,

you don't want to export everything,

shift into piano mode, and export that moment. And as you can see, only the kick is taken into account.

It's just small things but ..

Knowing these little tricks changed everything for me.

That's it, thank you very much!

Debt Collection 101: Episode 48 - What Is The AB2825 Bill? - Duration: 2:52.

Alex: Hey everybody welcome back to another episode of Debt Collection 101 here on

Arbeit U. Spencer: Yes Alex and we have a great episode today for the folks at home. Alex: Yeah

we do. What are we talking about here? We're talking about AB 2825. Spencer: That is correct.

Alex: What is that? Spencer: So basically it says that auto repair and body shops are

considered collection agencies and are held to the same... Alex: If it passes. Spencer: Yeah if it

passes of course, to the same level as collection agencies first contact

Alex: Which is weird. It's this Bill that's trying to hold the first party the

person who does the service, who then collects on it they're holding them for

to the same standards as a debt collection agency. Spencer: Yes so part of it it's like

if your car is finished and needs to be picked up, the number of times you can

contact them, how you contact them just like the most ridiculous. Alex: Which is yeah.

it's crazy because there's no... it said I mean in this I don't know what it's

called but basically it says somewhere that if you're you're only considered

debt collector if your primary source of revenue is debt collection. So an auto body shop. I

hope their primary source of revenue isn't collecting on the people who don't

pay their bills originally through them so it's just I don't think it's going to pass

but obviously you know it could it's interesting that sounds proposing

it so it would completely limit everything that they do because then

everything that they every communication they have with our customers subject now

to FDCPA. Spencer: TCPA Alex: Everything and that's interesting because I mean you could

then apply that.. yeah you could apply that to everything. So what of us? You know

we have customers now. Spencer: oh-ho-ho we got to call our.. we got to call our prospects

prospects six times a day. Alex: Yeah like we send out marketing emails now. Are those

gonna be are those considered under the FDCPA? like would those fall under

communication the amount of times that we email somebody? When I send my invoice

now is does that mean now I can't talk you know call them out that day to say

hi. Check in. Like where does it end? Spencer: Where does it end?

so that's the problem. I think it's a.. it was never this... nothing. No business like

this was ever supposed to be.. Spencer: yeah I mean why auto... Alex: I was like this just

yeah I mean well because it was for like tough town towing and stuff like that I

think they were talking about was like a big thing that they are because I think

people who get towed obviously aren't looking to get towed most of the time so

they're probably... Spencer: Yeah and I think it place... they place liens on

vehicles and I think is another unfortunate way to do it, right? Alex: But it seems like a stretch

here that it shouldn't be something because yeah where does it end but if

you want to find out more about the proposed bill. We will link it below it's

interesting. Spencer: It is. I read it Alex: Yeah me too Spencer: Cool thanks for watching and as always,

see you next week. Alex: See ya!

[Eng] FGO - Sigurd My Room Lines Translation - Duration: 9:11.

Servant, Saber

My True Name is Sigurd

So you are my Master

Please, give me your orders

I promise to promptly execute them

Suggestion

Why don't we go on a journey?

You are the Master

I am the Servant

There is no room for anything more between us

If you praise evil, I will praise good and reject that

Siegfried...

An existence that is similar yet different

That sturdiness[3] is something I am somewhat envious of

However, by no means do I intend to be outdone in a battle

Brynhildr, is it...

She tries to prove her love with that murderous impulse

That makes me happy, but, unfortunately, I will be unable to prove the love I feel towards her if I die

I must survive and also let that love be proven

A difficult thing to accomplish, don't you think...

(If you have glasses-wearing Servants) So there are others beside me who wear the Crystallization of Wisdom on their body

I see, good

Oohh... A wielder of a Demonic Sword

I, too, am somebody who possesses a Demonic Sword

Let's be careful not to get swallowed up by Demons, everyone

A wielder of a Holy Sword...

The light of those swords will continue to shine no matter where they are

However, my Demonic Sword is the Demonic Sword of the Sun that burns everything to nothing

Shall we compare them a bit for fun?

Please make sure to tell me if it is snowing somewhere

Because of my birthplace, I like snowy landscapes

It's not like I hate them or anything, but...

Small animals have an unexpectedly sharp tongue

You'd better be careful

If you have a wish, I will give it my utmost effort to grant it

There are no tasks for me

Sorry to have troubled you

Understood

If there is something you need, ask away

I hope I can be of use to you

Master, huh

There are no pressing matters at hand

If you'd like to chat, I will gladly keep you company

Master, let me tell you once again

This sword, this body, it does not matter if you use everything I have as you please

You are a person worthy of this

You'd never misuse me

Dialogue 2 after Bond 4 You are the Master, I am the Servant

There is no room for anything more between us

...is what I thought

But it seems like that wasn't the case

(Dialogue 3 - After Bond 4) As long as you are not evil, I will not oppose you

Please, don't worry, I'll always be your ally

(Dialogue 10 - after bond 4) "Won't those glasses break in the middle of a fight?"...you ask?

No need to worry, Master

This is the Crystallization of Wisdom

In other words, as long as I do not turn into a beast devoid of intelligence, these lens will continue to shine...!

Master, I do not have much to offer

Even if I gave you everything, it wouldn't be enough to repay this great debt of gratitude

In that case, there is nothing left to give, but my life

By offering that, I pledge my utmost loyalty to you

(Dialogue 11 - After Bond 5) Very well, If it is for Master's sake, I shall make use of every ounce of my wisdom...!

MEGANEKIRAAN!![4]

It's just a yell of encouragement...

Please, don't worry about it

*missing*

*missing*

I see

This is the Saint Graph's Ascension

It is not a bad sensation

It feels like my insufficiencies are filling up

So my appearance has not changed with this

I see

So this is my final form

Being able to draw out all of my strength feels excellent

For pouring all this power into me, you have my heartfelt gratitude

Reporting

Master, this is the ultimate goal for which I strove for

In the present state, where everything is wrapped in fog, you are my light

I shall follow your guidance, Master

Reporting

It seems like I have gotten stronger once again

My battle preparations are complete

Come

Those who live by the sword are prepared

Be fierce, Master!

Enemies sighted

I'll begin to intercept them now

Ability employed

The dragon's wisdom never runs out

Identification of enemies and allies confirmed

Moving out

Understood

Agreed

Affirmative

Understood, activating Noble Phantasm.

*missing*

Hah!

Sei!

Naive!

Keei!

Nn!

Go down

I'll end you in the blink of an eye

That life, I'll be taking it

Demonic Sword, ready

Let me show you the manifestation of mysteries

This is the Dawn of Destruction

Bölverk Gram 『Heavenly Ring of the Kalpa of Destruction』![1][2]

Using Special Move

O Demonic Sword of the Sun, with that blade, give rise to destruction!

Bölverk Gram 『Heavenly Ring of the Kalpa of Destruction』![1][2]

If I can not withstand this...

Guh!

A blunder...

No, I was just simply weak

Farewell

How regrettable

Bryn...hildr

My gratitude

I am pleased I could sharpen my soul together with you

Alright

Master, I am glad that you are safe

Stories I Can't Tell - Duration: 1:31.

There are several tales from Canada that I am not qualified to tell.

And rather than tell them myself, I'm asking you to go and listen to some other people.

There's no adverts on this video, there's no comments, because

I would like to give some time to other people to speak.

So you could start by looking into the residential schools,

a whole generation ripped from their families,

and a part of Canada's history that very few outside the country know about.

That is still in living memory,

I have met folks in this country while I've been travelling around

who've just casually mentioned in conversation that they were taken to one of the schools.

Or you could look more into the history of Giant Mine, and how the prospectors just saw empty land

and ignored the people who already lived there.

I really wanted to talk to the local First Nations folks in Yellowknife about that,

but the timing didn't work out.

One of the disadvantages of travelling fast is that sometimes I have to miss things.

There are a couple of technical stories here in Vancouver

that haven't worked out for that reason, too.

Despite what some terrible high school teachers might think,

history is not a dry collection of facts.

Historians have to interpret, they have to analyse,

and they inevitably bring their own biases and perspectives into it.

And I am not a historian.

So take a moment, look at the links on screen,

or if you prefer to research by reading, pull down the description.

It is time for me to let some other people have a say.

Jess Glynne "I'll Be There" Official Lyrics & Meaning | Verified - Duration: 4:10.

That song was written when I was away in a house in Sussex in like the country in the UK.

One of the girls that I'm quite close with, a writer, came down and started this idea

based on kind of like stuff that we've been through and that we've got each other through

over the past year.

She'd been through this awful break up and like real low.

She started the idea when I wasn't in the room.

She played it to me.

I listened and I was just blown away.

I was like, "Did you write that for me, or…"

She was like, "Yeah."

It was kind of like you know what?

At any given point, no matter what, I'll be there.

If I can't be in the country, I'll be on the phone.

No matter what, there'll be somebody there for you.

You know when you've like come home and you're on your own and you're going through

a hard time?

And you kind of just let go a little bit.

And then you stop yourself and you get on with it.

I feel like we've all had that whether we admit it or not.

ANd I think that's that moment of like coming home and realizing that, "Okay."

"I gotta do this but I gotta do this for me."

I think sometimes people think that their issues aren't enough to justify a feeling

and they hold it in.

People forget that everybody has the right to feel shit and has the right to feel broken

no matter what it is.

No matter how big.

No matter how small.

That's where I feel like it is good to just be real with your feelings and not hide away

from it.

'Cause the more you talk about it, the more people are gonna reach out.

When I was 21, I went through a really shit time.

It was like that time where everybody was at university creating their paths and their

journeys, and I was kind of not an academic.

And I was really trying to do this thing called music.

There was a period of like six months where I've never felt so alone in my life, but

it kind of urged me to like flip my shit around and realize that I'm actually being a bit stupid.

And I just need to kind of fix

up and work.

Feeling lost is like the thought of jumping into water and there's no way out and it's

deep and you don't know what's to come.

That's the kind of vision I had when I wrote this.

It's dark.

It's scary.

And you feel alone.

But that feeling and that vision of somebody's hand coming for you and pulling you out, as

cheesy as it may sound, that was the vision for that moment.

Even if you're at the darkest point, at the lowest low,

It's gonna be okay.

I'm The New Girl - EXCLUSIVE Dreamgirls London performance - Duration: 5:48.

Hello, I'm Henry Krieger. I'm the composer of Dreamgirls.

It started with my partner Tom Eyen and me deciding we were going to write a musical about backup singers,

who clawed their way to the top basically.

My life was influenced musically.

First I would say by Fats Waller, then by Ray Charles and then I fell madly in love with Etta James who was my model for Effie.

James Brown kind of had a lot to do with Jimmy Early.

Okay I'm the new girl, we had that in the workshops for quite a long time

and then one day Tom Eyan and I went to speak to Michael Bennett and his business partner Bob Avian.

Michael was in the mood and he said 'Okay that songs got to go' and I said 'why?'

He said 'It's too musical comedy. I don't think the musical comedy is right'.

He said 'Well it is' and I said 'well I don't think it is'.

I love it because it's audacious

and the character who it was written for, Michelle, who is the new girl who comes in.

But it's fun you know, it's wicked fun.

*song*

Asmeret plays Lorrell Robinson, who is the comedy lead and she's hysterical and very poignant.

I think audiences relate to this African-American family who started adoring each other and then show business set in.

I think so many of the themes are universal no matter what skin color you are, what age you are.

I think what Henry's saying about family, themes of betrayal, love, heartbreak and

I think you couple that with music which you know it's cliche to say I think

but it's true music is universal, it's a universal language.

So no matter what country you're seeing it in or what language you're listening to the music in,

it has such a visceral effect that you can't deny that.

It heightens the drama and buoys the story.

In my experience I've never seen a more engaged, vocal audience than I have in Dreamgirls.

People are jumping to their feet in the middle of the show.

I think because the story is so gripping people feel so involved and they feel like they're going on the journey with us.

It's almost as if it's their story.

Come see Dreamgirls here in London. This is our last summer, you don't want to miss it.

You've got six months to get here.

Landscape photography - The best 3 lenses! - Duration: 9:41.

in this video I'm going to tell you which are my three favorite lenses for

landscape photography or for any photography I know that some of you when

thinking of landscape photography will think about the Holy Trinity of lenses

but because of my minimalistic approach to photography gear if you stay tuned

you will find out that I'm not going to tell you to spend all that money or

carry all that weight

welcome to my channel here we talk about photography and I make videos just like

this one where I share my recommendation about photography gear so if you're here

for the first time it might be a good idea to subscribe as I said today I'm

going to talk about landscape photography lenses and I really like to

know which is your favorite go-to lens for your landscape photography so if you

have a chance why don't you let me know in the

comments below thank you so let's get started and of course the very first

lens will be a wide so let's get started and of course the very first lens for

landscape photography will be a wide-angle lens and regardless of which

camera system you are using there are multiple options as you might know I use

a Nikon full-frame DSLR the Nikon d810 and at first years ago I thought I

needed a a very very wide angle lens possibly a zoom lens so that I had

multiple focal length possibilities and I decided to invest quite some money

buying the 12 24 F 2.8 Nikon lens which is the first lens of the Holy Trinity

the lens was and possibly still is one of the best wide-angle lens in the

market super sharp beautiful images but if you are into long exposure

photography like me that lens has a very very big limitation it doesn't have a

filter thread so the solutions to put filters on that lens are very expensive

and also very bulky besides the fact that that lens decided to roll down

into the ocean in Martha's Vineyard while I was taking this photo with the

24 to 70 lens luckily I had an insurance and because my interest in long exposure

photography was growing I decided not to rebuy this lens but I actually bought a

16 to 35 f/4 which is a great lens costs half of the price

of the 12 to 24 it's much lighter and of course it does have a filter thread

nothing wrong with that lens until I found the one yes

in fact in 2014 Nikon decided after 30 years to update its 20 millimetres lens

and released the new Nikon 20 millimeters F 1.8 which I received as a present and

since day one I loved as a matter of fact the lens was always on my camera

like it is right now and it is less expensive than the 16 to 35 it is

lighter it is less bulky and is incredibly sharp it's really sharp

especially when you use aperture between f/8 and f/11 in that range the sharpness

is throughout the picture frame fantastic also because of the very wide

F 1.8 aperture you can use it easily for your night photography which sometimes I

do and there is something that I really love about a prime lens like the 20

millimeters it forces me to proactively search and work for my composition I

need to move around more I need to move closer I need to move backwards I

basically need to deliberately decide what to keep in the frame and what not

this is for sure my favorite wide-angle lens for landscape photography and here

it is a few images that I took with that lens

Lens number two this might be a surprise because most of you will think

oh it will be the 24 to 70 millimeters zoom lens I did have that lens great lens

maybe the best lens for travel photography so that you can just keep

one lens on and do everything with it but it is not my favorite second lens

for landscape photography is actually a nifty fifty a lens that everybody should

have in their bag no matter what kind of photography they do it's a super fun

prime lens super sharp super inexpensive really really light I love this lens and

the way I use this lens for my landscape photography is mainly panoramic photos

without going too much into details because possibly I should do a video

about how I take my panoramic photos basically I take a sequence of vertical

shots on my tripod overlapping by one-third and then I merge them in

Lightroom and because 50 millimeters is the focal length of the human eye and

there is almost no distortion I think this is the ideal lens for panoramic photos

there are more expensive options for the 50 millimeters with wider aperture but I

think that the F 1.8 is more than enough for landscape photography or street

photography the third and last lens that I will recommend you for landscape

photography is for sure a telephoto lens

of course the wide angle will give us these beautiful comprehensive vistas of

the scenery but the telephoto lens will give us the opportunity to get more

intimate to get more personal to be more creative and also to find more

compositions within the same scenery so I strongly recommend to have in your bag

a 70 to 200 millimeter lens nikon has I think six different 70 to 200 millimeter

lens ranging from $4,000 to $1,300 my 70 to 200 is actually the least

expensive of them it is also the lightest and I am very satisfied with

the quality of the images as a matter of fact this image the got me quite some

attention the last few months was taken with that lens and I also made a video

about it if you care to watch

in summary with these three lenses 2 prime lenses like the 20 millimeters and

the 50 millimeters and one zoom telephoto lens the 70 to 200 F 4

in my opinion you will be able to cover 95% of your landscape photography

without compromising on quality without breaking the bank and also containing

the size and the weight of your photography gear I hope you found this

information useful so thanks for watching and I will see you in the next

video

5 Teenagers Who Summoned Bloody Mary - Duration: 8:21.

Hell-o Internet - it's me again, your host Jack Finch - bringing you some of the scariest,

the creepiest, the downright terrifying tales - from all across the internet - right here

on Most Amazing Top 5.

Before we get started, make sure to hit subscribe - and leave a comment in the box down below,

let us know what you'd like to see us cover.

Or just - generally - how your days going.

Stuff like that.

Today we are bringing you an urban legend that has been horrifying teenagers and adults

alike since its first inception.

The tale, of Bloody Mary.

You know how it goes - you wait until midnight, you put some candles around a mirror, you

write Bloody Mary in something red - and you speak her name /3 times/.

Now, I could be incredibly stupid and try this out *right now* on this video - do it

for the views.

But I'm not an idiot - and I have no intention of summoning an insane, blood red demon.

And neither should you.

The tale of Bloody Mary is actually rooted in some pretty deep history.

The legendary monarch, Queen Mary I, was the only child of King Henry VIII and Catherine

of Aragon.

She led a pretty miserable life after a series of awful physical conditions that kept her

in constant pain.

Just before Christmas, in 1554, she burned 300 people at the stake - which earned her

the title, Bloody Mary.

The name chanted by teenagers in dark, bathroom mirrors all across the world - hoping to catch

a glimpse of her ghost.

So - let's get started with 5 Teenagers Who Summoned Bloody Mary.

At Number 5, we have a story from Ezzie - which happened on Friday the 13th, 2007.

While her parents were out shopping, Ezzie and her friends, decided they'd try to summon

Bloody Mary.

Never a good idea.

Her friends had heard a different way of attempting to speak with her - and so they sat in a perfect

circle, with their knees touching.

Ezzie's friends had made it very clear that they couldn't break the circle - she'd

heard they'd be cursed, or worse.

They then all chanted, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary - please may we speak with

Bloody Mary.

Ezzie's friend then flipped a coin.

Head's meaning Yes, Tails meaning No.

It landed on Heads.

The circle of friends asked, "please may you show us a sign that you're here."

Again, the coin landed on heads.

As it happened, a CD that they were playing skipped - and started to stick on repeat.

The group began to feel dizzy and faint - and their vision started to go blurry.

Remembering the curse, they asked Bloody Mary if they could end the summon and break the

circle.

They flipped the coin, it was Tails.

No.

They started to feel long fingernails brushing across their face.

The curtains began to shake.

Terrified, Ezzie shot up and broke the circle.

She slammed the curtains shut.

Since that day, Ezzie has had a strange - creeping feeling - that she's somehow not alone.

Next up at Number 4, is a tale from Nicole, that has left her so horrified that she can't

even type Bloody Mary's name.

Initially, Nicole found it hilarious that people would believe in the urban legend.

So - ready for a quick laugh - she headed to the bathroom, turned off all the lights,

span around seven times and said Bloody Mary.

She faced the mirror, and waited in silence for something to happen.

Nothing.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard the soft voice of a woman singing.

She turned back around to face the mirror - when she saw a woman with long, dark brown

hair - soaked in blood.

Across her neck, she had a deep knife wound.

Nicole screamed.

Hearing her - her brother started banging on the bathroom door, attempting to turn the

lock.

The woman in the mirror smiled - reached out of the mirror, and drew a deep scratch across

Nicole's face.

When she woke up, Nicole was in the hospital.

The right side of her face was covered in bandages.

Her brother had told the doctors that one of their cats had scratched her, and - interestingly

enough - the doctors believed them.

Now - the weird thing about this story, is that the very same night - Nicole's uncle

had mysteriously passed away.

She believes that the two are linked, and that Bloody Mary attacks not only you - but

your loved ones.

Bringing it in at Number 3 - we have a story from Matty that took place on June 22, 1999.

Matty lived in a small town called Newport, in Michigan.

Matty and his best friend Jake were only thirteen at the time - but they were a curious pair,

and had heard people talking about Bloody Mary at school.

It was around 10 or 11 PM, when the pair were both hanging out.

Jake decided he wanted to take up what everyone was talking about - and play the Bloody Mary

game.

Bad idea, Jake.

Now - Matty didn't feel the same, and while Jake headed to the bathroom to do the usual

set-up for the summoning, Matty remained behind.

He heard Jake cluttering about in the bathroom, and then heard the familiar Bloody Mary chant.

Matty says nothing happened for ten minutes.

Complete silence.

But he could still see the candlelight flickering from underneath the door, and so decided to

head to the kitchen to get something to drink.

When he returned, he noticed that the candlelight had gone out.

The door was locked, and Matty frantically tried to open it.

His dad came running, asking what all of the commotion was.

Believing that they'd accidently locked the bathroom door, his Dad retrieved his tools

and began to pick the lock.

When the door finally swung open - they shrank back in horror.

Jake was slumped against the wall - with his head in a sink full of blood-red water.

Yikes.

Bringing it in at Number 2 - is a story from two friends Dave, and Jimmy, that highlights

the real dangers of Bloody Mary.

The pair were 14 years old, and Dave had recently told Jimmy that he was moving to California

- his mum had gotten a new job.

Jimmy was devastated, the pair had been best friends for years - he was going to miss him

dearly.

The thing is, Dave hadn't yet told any of their other friends at school.

And so the pair decided to hatch a plan - and make Dave's last day at school legendary.

They would play the Bloody Mary game, and convince their friends that she'd taken

him away.

In reality, Dave would slip out of the bathroom window while their friends waited outside.

Jimmy would then run screaming out of the bathroom, cursing Bloody Mary.

But - that's not how it went down.

The pair walked in, lit a candle - and chanted Bloody Mary three times in the darkness.

They both stared at their reflections, blinking.

Nothing happened.

The pair said their goodbyes - Dave jumped up onto the sink to slip out of the bathroom

window, but as he was halfway out - Jimmy decided to play a little prank.

He jumped forward and screamed - but Dave was caught off guard.

He lost his footing and slipped out of the window.

Terrified, Jimmy poked his head out - Dave had fallen fifteen feet, and impaled his head

on a chain link fence.

Jimmy later told everyone that David had gotten spooked when he saw Bloody Mary - and so jumped

out of the window in fear.

But in his own words - he sees the real killer every time he looks in the mirror.

And finally - at Number 1, we have the legend of Mary Worthington - A.K.A - Mary Bloodsworth.

In Boston, Massachusetts, during the early 1700's, there are prominent folk tales of

a young, beautiful woman who lived in a tiny cottage, deep in the woods.

There, she would sell herbal remedies and tinctures to the local villagers.

Some in the village believed her to be a witch.

There was a rumour spread, that Mary had whispered to a young girl in the village to chant her

name - in front of her reflection - in a pool of water.

If they did, they would be forever beautiful like Mary.

Soon, young girls from the village began to disappear.

One by one they went.

The villagers searched the woods, the farms, the barns - but there was no sign.

That is until one night, when a young family witnessed their daughter sleepwalking.

Not wanting to wake her, they followed her out of the house and into the woods.

As they travelled deeper, they noticed a strange, glowing light in the distance.

It was Mary Bloodsworth's cottage, and she was standing outside - calling the young girl

to join her.

The town soon caught on - and Bloody Mary was burned at the stake.

Some say that she burned away completely, as if she was thin air.

Other's say that she was a reincarnation of the Tudor Queen, eternally cursed to possess

another young woman, and her spirit escaped into the crowd.

 

Other's also believe that Mary Bloodsworth was actually secretly buried - and her gravestone

still stands in Boston to this day.

There are rumours that people still practice witchcraft at her graveside, leaving offerings

of candles - and three, /red/ stones.

Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody M-

The State of This Channel - Duration: 4:46.

Hello, didn't see you there!

In videos like these, people like to comment about their looks, their hair, their shave. I'm just going to say that

this fabulous thing right here will be gone in three months and

The reason for this is that I have been called into the Norwegian army

Which basically means that...

this needs to dissapear. In three months I'm going to a camp where the recruit training will begin and

we'll see what happens then. I'm supposed to become a Royal Guard but they might just

think I'm more fitting as a

bus driver or a

coat rack or whatever they find. An office job. Who knows? The reason I'm saying all of this is that time is limited.

I forgot what my li-uuuuuhh. Time is limited and this is not a good thing when animation takes a whole lot of time.

It sure does.

I spent two weeks on the latest csgo animation and less than 10% of my

Subscribers have seen it and I don't think more than 10% will I see this video either.

It's not an animation. Not that that helped.

So...

currently, I'm just wondering if...

Animations are worth the time.

I'm currently working on a smexual animation, which is five minutes long.

And... that's a lot of time if I want to make it good.

But I don't want to waste a whole lot of time...

If people are not going to see it.

It's unlikely that the

missing 90% will watch this video, but

if you do, Hello!

Somewhere on the screen

Maybe up here

I think there's a like a

Thingy here or maybe and down in the description. I'll put a link to the community tab where I have a poll

Where I just asked all of you why you subscribed? What do you want to see on this channel?

So, um, if you have time, please just go up there and...

or down there, click the thing. Click the thing and I'll be happy.

Currently there's the less than 100 votes but tf2 animations seems to be in the lead so far. So if that's your thing

Vote on it. If not...

don't

don't click on it. Click on something else. Or comment! Because of this limited time and

Because I want to dedicate this channel to the good videos

I'm creating a second channel named The2ndMonkeyKing where I'll post

shitposts,

Gameplay moments,

Work in progress videos, and about anything you guys don't watch. Which could have been

All of it.

You know what I mean. I'll try to keep uploads on that (channel) way more frequent than this (channel).

Not that I'm ditching the main channel at all

It's just that so I have somewhere to post when I feel like it. What are my future plans?

One

Saxxy project! I want to enter the Saxxy Awards this year.

Probably not going to happen. I shouldn't have said that. Um, I also want to finish some older projects

not sure if I've time. I want to finish a Killing Floor 2 video, and...

Also a fantasy themed TF2 video I've been

working on, which

could hopefully be the start of a series. But

you would have to wait an entire year for episode two, so...

Maybe not. And of course, I got the smexual and- (Aren't you forgetting something?)

Yeah, yeah, you'll get your game reviews too, even though nobody watched the first one.

But the ones who watched it, didn't dislike it. True, okay, but...

What even is that? I haven't finished the costume yet, okay!

So- what do you guys want to see? Comment down below and tell me.

Bye.

How To Make A Pearl Spiral Wrap Ring - Duration: 8:33.

To make the ring we've got two different wires here and two different thicknesses.

The thick wire is 14 gauge and the thin wire is 26 gauge and they're both silver-plated wire.

And we've got a freshwater pearl.

This is a 12 millimeter coin-shaped pearl, which means it's flat and round, and it's drilled through this way.

For tools, we have a jewelry hammer and a jeweler's bench block,

which is basically like a little metal anvil. And we've got chain-nose pliers and wire cutters.

We also have a fat Sharpie and that's a for a special trick we'll show you.

To make the ring, the first thing we want to do is cut a piece of the thick wire. This is the 14 gauge wire.

The gauges on wire, the number gets smaller as the wire gets thicker.

So 14 gauge is a low number but a fat piece of wire. And

we cut this piece to about a five, five and a quarter inches. The way you can figure out the length is

you can take a string and

wrap it around your ring finger and you'll want to go around

two times.

So you've got, well it's flipping around on me,

but you can see we want to go around two times like that. And

you'll end up with wire that wraps around like this ring does,

with one end here, all the way around once, and then one end here. Cut your little piece of string.

You can measure it and

write it down for future reference that that's how long you'll make this ring. Or you can just lay this string against your wire

like this and

wrap it around until you get to the end and then that's where you want to cut it.

So that's how I figured out how to cut this piece of wire so it'll be the right length for my ring finger.

The next thing we want to do is hammer the ends flat. Right now

the ends are kind of blunt cut with the wire cutters and they're a little bit sharp,

but if we hammer them with the jewelry hammer here on the bench block we can make a nice little paddle shape.

So I'm just going to hit this a few times. I've put the bench block here on top of a mouse pad.

It's upside down, so the rubbery side is up. This is going to keep this from slipping around.

It also takes some of the

bang out of the hammering. And the bench block we just got at a jewelry supply store. So I'm gonna hammer this.

And I'm using the flat end of this hammer because I want to flatten

that edge of the wire down. It's getting flat, but I'd like it a little bit flatter.

So altogether that was about 10 hits and you can see it's round here and then it flattens out and widens a little bit and

that's going to be nice for the ends of our ring. So I'm going to do the other side here. This is the other cut side.

And I'm not trying to straighten this wire out to work with it.

I'm gonna end up curling it to make it into a ring.

I don't want to bend it and unbend it a lot of times.

It makes it hard.

It actually hardens the silver and it just might get a little out of shape that way. So I'm just leaving it.

This is the shape it was in when I took it off of the coil here, and I'm just going to hold it

so that the end is on the bench block. This can just sit up that way.

I'm gonna hit it just like I did the other side.

That's five hits. It needs a few more.

And

there it's looking nice and kind of paddled. We call that. It's kind of paddled out there, a little wider there, at the ends.

So that's all we're going to use the jewelry hammer for. I can move that out of the way. And

now what we want to do is shape this into a ring shape so we can wear it. And

what we like to do is find something around the house that a ring fits on. So you'll take your ring off,

go around the house until you find something that's the perfect size to fit your ring on. Here's my

regular ring fits right on here. So that's my size.

Yours might be a smaller Sharpie or if you want to wear it on your thumb

you might choose a Marks-A-Lot. Some bigger marker.

We're going to use this as a mandrel. If you have a mandrel, of course, you can just use your mandrel. And

what I'm going to do--I'm not going to try to bend it around the mandrel. I'm calling the Sharpie a mandrel.

I'm not gonna try to bend it starting at the end. The ends are harder now because I've hammered them.

So it's easier to start at the center.

I've got the curve going around the Sharpie and I'm gonna hold it with my thumb here and

bend one end around.

It takes a little bit of elbow grease, but you can do it. And

flatten one side down. And

then I'm going to take the other end and bend it around

and

flatten it down.

So now you can see that this is the kind of shape we want. We're looking at this, this is the same kind of ring.

This is the kind of shape we want for the ring.

It's hard to bend these ends all the way down because they're hard from hammering and they're a little bit pointy.

So for this last bend, what I'm going to do is get my chain-nose pliers, which are my flat

pliers, and I'm just gonna grab the end of the paddle there and bend it around. So now it has that nice curved shape.

Do the same on the other side. We'll grab the little paddle and

curve it.

I can also pull these apart a little bit at this time, because what we want to do is now put the pearl on top.

Here's our pearl and

it's called a coin pearl. It's drilled this way and we want it to fit on top of these wires. If

the wires are too close together, the pearl is going to stick out on both sides.

So I'm going to just pull this apart a little bit.

So it's the right width for our coin pearl.

That looks about right. And now all we have to do is attach the pearl to our wire wrap here

using the thin wire. The thin wire is 26 gauge. As

I said the higher the number the thinner the wire, so 26 gauge is very thin.

We just cut a piece about four inches long for this. And

I think it's easiest if you go ahead and put the pearl on the wire right in the center.

Then you can hold the pearl on the ring when you do your wraps. And

the way we're going to attach the pearl then to the bigger wire--

spiral ring underneath-is we're going to take this end and wrap it around that paddle shape there.

So I'm just gonna hold this tight and I'm going to go around the paddle there. And

one of the things that the paddle did for us is it's wider here

than it is where I'm doing the wraps so that the ring won't slide off.

It would be kind of

pinched in there. I'm gonna do about five wraps.

And that's about one--two--three--four, I'll do one more

wrap.

Come up around. And then I'm going to trim that wire with the wire cutters.

I'm going to trim it on top and that way the pokey end won't be underneath where it's going to touch your ring finger. And

then I want to pull this

wire tight

to do the next wraps. I don't want a piece sticking out on this side like that.

That's ugly. I'm gonna pull that nice and tight and then push the coin over,

tight, and now I'm going to do the wraps on this side.

Just like we did before I'm going to go underneath and around and I'm gonna do five wraps. That's two...

Three...

Four...

And five. And I'm even going to use my chain-nose pliers to to pull that wire

nice and tight there.

And I can push those wraps together with my fingernails and then trim that little end off.

And that's all there is to that ring. It's pretty easy and it looks like a million bucks.

What America gets wrong about China and the rest of Asia - Duration: 7:06.

We instinctively use the lessons of European history to explain Asia's future, and it

is incredibly difficult to make the argument that we should look at Asia's history if

we want to understand where Asia is going to go in the future.

The most common way that we think about power transitions in international relations is

to look at a war between Sparta and Athens from 2500 years ago—the Peloponnesian War

in ancient Greece. There, a rising power caused fear in a declining power and they ended up

inevitably fighting.

Thucydides wrote about this in his famous History of the Peloponnesian War, and almost

ever since then what IR scholars and international relation scholars and historians have done

is used the example of the Peloponnesian War as the most foundational way in which we think

about rising powers: "Rising powers are inevitably ambitious. Declining powers are

inevitably fearful and they always clash at some point."

Well, when we get to modern China today the example seems to fit perfectly, which is:

China is a rising power, it's very ambitious; America is a declining power, it's very

fearful; and so at some point there's almost an inevitable chance that the two are going

to come into conflict.

And in fact you hear this over and over again. And yet in a way—isn't it weird to think

about a primitive infantry battle between two Greek villages from 2500 years ago that

would have any implications for what contemporary modern China, how they're going to behave

today? I mean in a way it seems like quite a stretch.

And in many cases I think that simply taking the lessons of history in this way biases

us towards looking towards conflict in ways I don't think actually are necessarily going

to play out, particularly in contemporary East Asia.

That is, what we do, is we always take European history as the sum of all things, and somehow

what happened—again, 2500 years ago in ancient Greece—is going to predict what's going

to happen in modern East Asia.

And I don't think that's the case at all, especially when we look at how East Asian

history worked.

If we were to take East Asia on its own terms instead of using Europe to explain Asia—why

don't we look at East Asia?

And if we took it on its own terms one thing that we would find is that first of all China

is not really rising; China has always been big!

Sometimes it goes into a period of decline and then it comes back, and this is more return

than a rise, so it's not anything new to the countries in the region.

In many ways what happens is: China's dominance, China's massive size has been a fact of

life in East Asia for literally centuries, so this is nothing new.

So it's not at all clear to me that we should view this as a "rising power" any more

than we would view the United States as a "potentially rising power."

The other problem is if we use East Asian history one of the biggest lessons we would

learn from East Asian history is that the dangers that arise to countries in the region

are almost always internal, not external. So even for rising and declining powers, the

fears or the threats, they are as much domestic as they are internal.

So almost every single one of China's dynasties over the centuries, the Tang, the Ming, almost

all of them fell because of internal rebellion.

If I'm a Chinese leader today I'm as worried as much about internal issues as with external

issues. And in fact one thing we know is that China spends more on internal security than

it does on external defense. So even now it's not clear that China's ambitions are all

directed outwards, they're probably just as concerned about internal.

If we look at the United States, if we were to take it the lessons from East Asian history

and say "Wow, instead of the inevitable war that Thucydides wrote about, what if we

were worried about the lessons from East Asian history, which is the Japanese shoguns all

fail from internal rebellion, Korean, Vietnamese dynasties almost all fell from internal rebellion

as well?

So what would the lesson for today be?

Self-inflicted wounds in both the United States and China may matter more than any titanic

struggle between them.

And in fact if I was to look at the United States today the challenges that we face are

far more internal than they are from China.

Yes, China and the United States haven't worked out a totally stable equilibrium. We

have things at the margins we have to deal with. Maybe some uninhabited rocks in the

South China Seas, maybe some trade disputes, but those are not things that are going to

lead to a titanic struggle for global dominance, and I don't see any war between China and

the United States along those lines.

But I do see huge issues in China itself from internal security, to environmental issues,

to a rapidly aging population. And frankly I see just as many issues in the United States

as well.

If we look at the threats that are facing the United States: it's a deeply divided

country, it's a massively underinvested infrastructure whether it's our transportation

or our education, and in many ways the issues we face today are much more internal than

external.

So if I was to say "What do I think about the future of U.S. / China," I would say

it's much more about scoring an "own goal" than it is about any kind of massive battle

between the two countries.

Europe isn't the measure of all things, and if there's different examples or different

experiences in East Asia and if they have different implications for the present or

the future then we ought to take it seriously.

And in many ways that's what I think—people like myself, that's our task. Our task is

to try and show, understand East Asian history without making a cartoon out of it, without

making a caricature out of it but taking it seriously.

And if some things are the same then fine, and if some things are different then we need

to point them out.

And this goes back to really an important theoretical point or a point about how we

think about the world, which is that in many cases local knowledge is incredibly important.

Local knowledge about situations is as important as any kind of broad theory about the way

the world inevitably works.

And we want to know both, we want to have some good theories, but we also really want

to make sure that those theories apply to the region.

And only with having that kind of knowledge can you really take East Asia on its own term.

Homemade Ice Cream Sauce Recipes: Chocolate, Raspberry & Butterscotch - Duration: 5:56.

Hi Bold Bakers!

Without a doubt you guys are rock stars at making my two-ingredient no machine ice cream.

So I thought I would show you how to make homemade sauces to go with them.

They are really easy, all you need is a few ingredients and a saucepan.

As always the recipes can be found on BiggerBolderBaking.com and I actually have so many sauce recipes

to share with you that I put a bonus one up on the website for marshmallow sauce.

So make sure you go check that out.

So we're gonna get started with butterscotch which is my favorite ice cream sauce.

Into a heavy bottomed saucepan we are going to add in some butter, dark brown sugar, and

cream.

And then just bring this mix up to a simmer, let the sugar dissolve, and let it bubble

away for around 5 minutes.

So for this recipe the dark brown sugar is really, really important, so if you cant buy

any in the store remember you can always make it at home really easily and I've got a recipe

on my website.

Also for the cream, use any type of cream you want, you don't need whipping cream.

It's important when you're making caramels or butterscotch that you don't walk away from

the pan, because you don't want it to burn or start to smoke so just keep a close eye

on it.

So a really common question I get asked is what's the difference between caramel sauce

and butterscotch.

Butterscotch is normally really creamy ingredients like butter, cream, and brown sugar whereas

caramel can just be sugar and water.

So there's a big difference.

So it's been around 5 or 6 and I can see by the color that this is what I'm going for.

I can also smell it and it smells really good.

So I'm just gonna knock that off the heat, then lastly I'm going to add in a little bit

of vanilla extract, because vanilla and that kind of caramel goes really well together.

Then of course, salt.

Give it a stir.

Now don't leave out the salt.

It just takes this sauce to a whole other level.

So that's our butterscotch sauce, could not be simpler.

And tastes amazing.

So I'm going to pour it into a jar here, so not only is this sauce delicious but it will

live happily in the back of your fridge for up to 6-8 weeks.

So whenever you have a dessert emergency, take it out, heat it up a little bit, and

pour it over your ice cream or dessert.

Now there is one delicious sauce made, now we're gonna move on to our next flavor which

is raspberry sauce.

Into your heavy bottomed saucepan add in your raspberries.

Now I am a big fan of using frozen raspberries because they are picked n season, they're

flash frozen, and they're really, really good quality.

So you can use fresh or frozen, that is totally up to you.

So next we're going to add a little bit of sugar for sweetness.

Now if you don't want to use white sugar, you can use an all natural sugar and I've

got a sugar substitute chart on my website so you can refer to that to see what you can

swap it out for.

And then lastly a little bit of water, just to loosen it up a little bit.

So just turn it on to a medium low heat, let the sugar dissolve, and let the raspberries

break down and form that lovely sauce.

Just look at that color, this is why I love raspberries, they are so vibrant and they

taste as good as they look.

So now while this is simmering away I wanted to tell you about the freezer section on my

website, it is a whole big section dedicated to summer and frozen desserts.

So make sure you go and check that out, because there's recipes on there that are not on YouTube,

so you don't want to miss anything.

So our raspberries are broken down so I'm just gonna turn off the heat, now here I have

a bowl lined with a sieve, and I'm going to carefully pour my raspberries into there.

Now just go ahead and sieve this sauce.

Now the reason you want to save this is because it is loaded with seeds so you want to get

it nice and smooth.

Keep on pushing the pulp through the sieve, because even though you might think you've

gotten it all out, there's still more in there.

Now I like to do this sauce without corn starch, some people like to add corn starch, that's

totally up to you I honestly think it's thick enough.

Okay, lovely.

Scrape the bottom of the sieve.

So because of the fruit in this sauce, it will actually last in your fridge for 7 days,

so you're going to want to eat it up pretty fast, which I don't think is going to be a

problem.

Okay, this is our second one, now let's move on to our third flavor, which is a chocolate

syrup.

Back into our heavy bottomed saucepan pan, we're going to add in some water, and some

sugar.

Then what you want to do is just turn the heat to medium-low, and let this mix come

to simmer and the sugar dissolve.

So now that it's simmering I've got my cocoa powder, and I've got my whisk, so I'm just

going to add that in, keep on whisking, to make sure that there's no lumps.

Perfect.

And then I'm just gonna keep it to a medium heat and let this mix simmer away for around

two minutes.

So while this is simmering away just continue to whisk it so the chocolate doesn't burn.

So a fun thing about this recipe, it is not just an ice cream sauce, but it can be used

to make chocolate milk.

The best homemade chocolate milk you've ever had.

Trust me.

Okay lovely, now this is good, I'm gonna turn off the heat and into this I'm going to add

in a little bit of vanilla extract, now if you don't have it, feel free to leave it out,

and again, another little pinch of salt to bring out all of those lovely flavors.

Whisk them in… and that's our chocolate syrup.

Then into a nice clean jar, we're gonna fill it up with our homemade chocolate sauce.

And when it's summertime and you're making loads of ice cream and desserts, you want

to have chocolate sauce to hand, I mean there's no question about it.

So whether you prefer creamy, fruity, or chocolaty, there is a flavor here for the entire family.

So do not be shy when you're drizzling your homemade sauces over your favorite ice cream.

For my bold bakers who make their own ice cream, go that extra step and make the sauces.

They taste amazing, they're really easy to make, and they're just a few ingredients.

Thanks for watching, and if you want more ice cream sauces, make sure you head over

to my website for that bonus recipe, and I'll see you back here really soon, for more Bigger

Bolder Baking.

Our 1st German Watchmaking Encounter! - Duration: 13:48.

Hello to all and today I am about to share with you something that may sound as an oddity,

because since the creation of TheWATCHES.tv some 7 years ago, yes time really flies, well

since 7 years we had never been to Glashütte, home of German mechanical watchmaking.

How strange or even awkward is that!!!

So better late than never and now this abnormality has finally been addressed and this thanks

to the organizers of the Dubai Watch Week, who invited a little group of journalists

to go and witness what the Saxony region is all about when it comes to watchmaking.

So a massive thanks to them of having pulled something as interesting as this 4 day trip

and I've already said it, but the Dubai Watch Week is definitely a pretty singular

event and organization where the notion of knowledge sharing and transmission is at its

core and I can only salute this.

Trying to do our share here on TheWATCHES.tv

Ok so let's now dive into this experience and there is quite a lot to be said, but I'll

really try to be as concise as possible!

So first of all, let's go back in time and understand why this region of Germany has

become home of its watchmaking industry some 170 years ago, a time when Germany was not

yet a country as we know it today.

Anyhow, during the first half of the 19th century, the region of Glashütte was facing

a major problem.

Silver mining used to be the main activity and when the mines ran out of precious metal,

the entire region suffered directly from this downfall.

So it was decided at the political level that to reinvigorate the region watchmaking would

be developed and it was a small group of people that were tasked to implement this will.

So not really an empirical and historic development, but a pure decision with consequences up to

today and when we visited the Glashütte Watchmaking Museum, it was really interesting to hear

that our guide was referring to this first group of 4 guys as our "founding fathers".

Felt very respectful and these names included Ferdinand Adolph Lange who established the

brand that still bears this family name in 1845, but also Moritz Grossman, initiator

of the Glasshütte German School of Watchmaking and the museum is now set in what used to

be the school, plus Julius Assmann and Adolph Schneider.

So working a bit like the same principle we find in La Chaux-de-Fonds, here in Switzerland,

the entire activity of this little town of Glashütte revolved around watchmaking.

Suppliers would specialize in various types of craftsmanship; gear trains, regulating

organs, cases, hands, pinions, etc. and it's the juxtaposition of all the competencies,

this division of labor that enabled the region to develop fairly fast and be internationally

recognized as a source of highly qualitative timekeeping objects.

So to make a long story short, the region continued to successfully develop itself,

but then came World War II and Dresden and some of its surrounding paid a pretty heavy

price being almost wiped out by some serious allied bombings at the end of the war and

then being emptied out by soviet forces who took whatever they could back home; machines,

drawings, inventory.

So there was really not much left of the Glashütte watchmaking industry in the late 1940's

and whatever remained had now been consolidated in a special consortium called GUB for Glashütte

Uhrenbetriebe, which mainly produced watches for what was now the Eastern Bloc, Saxony

being part of the newly founded East Germany and it was only once the wall fell in 1989

and with that the German reunification that a second chance was given for the revival

of this region and that's when we hear the name Lange once again, because it's really

under the impulsion of Walter Lange, that's the great nephew of Ferdinand Adolph Lange,

and a man we mentioned in our Who's Who of Watchmaking dedicated to the Richemond

Group, Mr. Gunter Blumlein, that the industry started all over again and this was naturally

a pretty courageous move, because to develop super high end watchmaking in what was previously

a communist region, well the two didn't necessarily fit well in the same sentence!

So 1989 was a key moment and some other intrepid visionaries joined the move and one of the

first brand to believe in a strong future was Nomos, the brand that today is enjoying

a fantastic success.

So we had the chance to visit various Nomos production sites and I can really tell you

that when you visit Glashütte you can really feel that Nomos is a big player, you have

Nomos buildings scattered everywhere in what remains a pretty small city, and even the

word city sounds probably a bit too big.

Glasshütte is found in a valley approximately 40 minutes for the main Saxony town of Dresden,

and everything, every brands, are found in a pretty small radius, there's definitely

some kind of family feeling when you walk across it.

So coming back to Nomos, we couldn't unfortunately film everything we saw, but let's say that

it's a pretty big and serious operation.

For instance I was totally blown away when they told us that there are 300 employees,

really didn't realize this, but now I believe that this number might get much higher in

the years to come.

Nomos is a cool brand, they have cool products with a distinctive no-nonsense design, they

produce their own movements, they have cool communication and best of all their prices

are really acceptable.

Quite a simple recipe for success when you say it like that, but ok it didn't happen

overnight, there's a lot of work and commitment that has been put into it and the nice part

is that it doesn't prevent all the people that we met there, including the founder of

the brand, to be really nice down to earth people.

A very pleasant and interesting visit I must say.

We then visited something that was fairly new for me as I mainly knew the brand Wempe

as being one of the most important retailers of Germany and Germany being naturally a very

important market for watchmaking.

Their installation are very nicely set in what used to be an observatory, an observatory

initially set to precisely calculate time which would then be used as reference time

by the various Glasshütte watchmakers.

So now this function is naturally not as relevant, but what was really interesting to grasp is

that Wempe has also developed this facility as a training facility for some of their young

watchmakers, watchmakers that would then operate in the retail business of Wempe for services

for instance.

Proper training is very important in watchmaking.

We went through years when quartz dominated and there weren't enough mechanical watchmakers

that had been trained and we are missing them today.

We also want to share with our collaborators our tradition, our competencies, what mechanical

watchmaking is about so they can bring this to our shops, whether for servicing, selling,

finishing departments and we want our client to experience a full service.

Our visit continued on the following day with the visit of Lang & Heyne, a pretty niche

brand, very high end and we had covered them during the last Baselworld, so was obviously

very nice for us to see in the flesh how their operation was set up.

This brand nevertheless is not located in Glashütte but in the outskirts of Dresden

in a very nice little house and you have to realize that we are talking less than 100

watches being produced per year, actually closer to 50 and they take the notion of fine

finishing to some extreme level.

For instance and this I had never heard of before, but as Marco Lang was explaining to

us, they actually polish the thread of screws used in their watches.

So I'm not talking about the head of the screws, but the thread itself and when we

asked why would they bother to do this, well Mr. Lang very proudly told us that for him

it was important that in a 100 years time, when another watchmaker would service one

of their watches, then this watchmaker will appreciate the work done at the time.

Quite crazy right?

So yes, this level of finishing is simply remarkable, but this is something that can

be said in general for the people we met everywhere, it's part of their signature and fully demonstrates

their commitment in producing super qualitative timepieces.

Something we also got to witness when we visited Moritz Grossmann, a brand relaunched a few

years back with some kind of long term thinking enliving all that has been put in place and

that's also a pretty remarkable operation, quite courageous I must say and I really appreciate

the effort, passion and pure will that Christine Hutter has injected into this endeavour.

So if you look you see it's a German movement. We work with the 2/3 plate,

not the 3/4 plate, which is usual in Glashütte.

Then we use micro-meter screw as regulation system which Grossmann

put in a lot of pocket watches and then

we are a little bit special because we change the view of the movement a little bit,

we use white sapphires so we have rise chattons and also the screws are set up

on the plate. All is hand engraved,

all letter of Moritz Grossmann logo on the plate

and then we have white stripes. We use a pillar movement, so we have our own balance system,

a step in the balance cock,

you can see that the movement is more quiet, not so coloured and it's our Moritz Grossmann taste,

our Moritz Grossmann style.

The finishing is really high.

We train our people for 6 to 12 months

and if you look into our movements some parts like on the ratchet wheel between

the teeth is hand finished.

We finish parts which normally nobody will do

and also in the traditional way, we try different woods

we also work with "zim"

If you look at our hand production,

to produce 3 hands; a minute, hour and second hand,

in one day, 3 hands in one day,

but I think you feel it when you look at our watches.

They are so simple, but when you look at them with an eye glass,

it's different and it's that style that makes Moritz Grossmann.

Our final visit was by Tutima and though we mainly know this brand for more affordable

and more general public type of watches, their Glashütte operation is focused on producing

high end timepieces, from chronos to even minute repeaters.

We again had the chance of visiting the full but rather small facility and it's always

nice to meet new people and see how they work and how they are setup.

So that was it for this very first visit of German watchmaking and we know that it doesn't

only stop in Glashütte, you can find other brands in other parts of Germany and some

significant ones, and we neither visited all the brands that are actually located in Glashütte,

such as A. Lange & Söhne or Glashütte Original to name the two most well known ones, but

one last thing I wanted to mention is that we got an extra final and fantastic surprise

as we met a man whose contribution in helping re-develop mechanical watchmaking after the

quartz crisis of the late 70's, early 80's is simply immense.

This man is Mr. Gerd-Rüdiger Lang, founder of Chronoswiss, a German brand yes, but a

brand which solely relied on Swiss components when it came to the production of their timepieces.

In a certain way he stuck with the basics of what mechanical watchmaking is and in an

adverse environment at the time, his dedication and commitment played a major role in repositioning

mechanical watchmaking as something reputable and full of substance.

So it was a real treat of being able to spend some quality time with this man who belongs

to the Hall of Fame of Watchmaking, yes that's a new concept I think we could work on, meaning

those men and women whose roles have been critical in pursuing watchmaking as a form

of essential art, as simple as that!

We had a lovely dinner, his modesty and simplicity really came through and also he showed us

some examples of his collection, the man is a very serious chronograph collector and actually

I would love to do a report just on his collection.

Well I can really say that this trip was extremely interesting and I'm very happy of having

had the opportunity of getting this report to you thanks to the Dubai Watch Week people

that I can't' thank enough for this great experience.

Something I would just like to add is that it was quite moving to witness the pride of

the different workers we got to meet, witness their commitment and the fact that they were

all really happy to share this with us.

It was also nice to talk about our passion with some colleagues and demonstrate once

again that we still have so many stories to tell about watchmaking, still so much to uncover!

So to summarize it: Viva Watchmaking and thanks for watching, see you real soon!

Native Sessions: Stwo on creating beats for Jeremih and Sketches | Native Instruments - Duration: 15:01.

You arrived yesterday from Toronto!

I arrived yesterday yes,

I finished the tour last week.

We actually toured in the United States and Europe

with Madjid Jordan, I don't know if you know them,

they're two guys from Toronto, I met them there.

They asked me to come and open their world tour,

and I arrived yesterday from Toronto.

I propose, if you agree, that you return virtually where you were two days ago.

Ok !

It's a bit like your office in a way!

No, well, most of the time when I go to Toronto

I work in this studio, and it's an honour for me,

because when I started I made music in my room,

and I moved from my room to this studio.

It's truly amazing that I had the opportunity to work in this studio.

For those who wouldn't know him, on the screen we can see 40,

Drake's producer,

we can say, one of the biggest producers in the world.

Yes, he's one of the biggest producers of the last decade.

He started with Drake actually,

they're very close.

He made "Take Care" with him, and lots of albums

and they keep working together today.

Can you tell us exactly how you met 40?

How did it happen?

At first, it happened on internet.

I didn't produce Hip Hop beats at all,

but electronic music.

I listened to Drake's album "Nothing Was The Same", released in 2013,

and it immediately caught my ears, I don't know why in fact, melodically it was ...

In some pieces you could find three different tracks in the same one,

And I really liked that.

I started a small project, in my room,

where I imagined Drake on,

in this same kind of atmosphere and sounds.

By the time I made this project,

I received a message from 40 on Twitter.

So at first...

I jumped all over my room!

But I didn't think for a second: "That's it, I'm going to Toronto …"

I just thought: "It's cool that he likes what I'm doing

and I'll continue to send him some stuff."

That's what I did, I kept on and sent him some projects,

and he sent me a message two months later.

He told me: "I'd like you to come to Toronto."

They were working on "Views" at the time,

and he asked me to help him finish this project.

That's it! And then we pursued our collaboration,

and I've been living there for three years now.

Thanks !

I suggest we watch a second extract.

In France, your name appears in the credits of Lomepal,

but also Nekfeu.

How do you manage to put all that together?

In fact, for me there's no real difference between

collaborating with Americans or Canadians, or French people.

Basically, with Lomepal we had a good chemistry.

I started sending him some tracks,

he came to my parent's home,

It was even before I left for Toronto.

It's very organic.

When I work with someone, it's not a plan at all.

We met, we understood each other,

he likes what I do and vice versa,

so let's go!

I don't care where people come from, or their fame.

I just want to make music.

That's how I worked with them.

Same thing with Nekfeu.

He followed me on Twitter and asked me for instrumentals.

Then we met, and we got on very well, that's it!

Awesome. Third extract!

This is the one track that helped make your artist name Stwo known around the world.

Yes

So, what's the difference between this track and those you created for others?

I really have two personalities,

I guess I am schizophrenic!

There's a part of me who produces for people,

and there's another one for my own music.

When I have no inspiration to produce for people

I develop my own projects,

and vice versa.

This is what I do to always have fun and not get bored,

it's my way of remaining inspired.

And in fact, "Lovin U" is just a track that I made

without thinking of inviting this or that rapper on it.

I made the track, sampled some voices

and uploaded it on Soundcloud at the time, it was in 2013.

This is how I started having my own tours,

some people wanted to see me play my music in clubs.

And I've been told then:

"Do you know you can make music for other guys,

they can kick on it and everything! "

That's when I started creating some projects for Drake,

and it worked out of the box ...

It's really not calculated,

I can't even explain to you,

I really don't have any plan!

I know there's a lot of people who say: "You have a vision."

I have no vision, I work day to day!

I wake up, I make a beat,

sometimes I don't make any music for two weeks...

I think that's why it works,

because it's not a strategy!

Precisely, in terms of creation,

when I called you and I asked you:

"Could you send me a picture of your studio?"

There you answered me:

"No, because my studio is wherever I happen to be,

with my laptop and my Maschine, and that's it."

All I need is a room,

with no distraction,

just a keyboard, a computer and Maschine.

Starting from there, I can make music anywhere.

You can feel this in my music by the way,

it's not complicated at all,

it's very simple,

you'll see, I'll show you!

I really believe this is what's the most interesting,

working with as few things as possible and make it work!

Precisely, what if we set up your studio,

if You set up your studio tonight, at La Place?

Yes, I can try and show you!

I thought, while I'm at it, I'm going to show you something Hip Hop or RnB.

Let me show you the last track I released.

It's a track featuring Jeremih, I don't know if you know him,

he's an American RnB singer.

I've always been a fan of Jeremih

and I was lucky enough to collaborate with him on this track.

I'm gonna show you how I made the instrumental.

I work on Logic.

I use Maschine a lot,

but always in Logic.

What I usually do,

I open the interface and I build my patterns.

I don't know why, but in this track,

I made the whole session in line in Maschine.

So I don't even have an audio track of Maschine,

everything is directly played up to the end of the track.

But maybe I'll play it before talking about it.

So basically, as you can see,

there's a lot of space,

I never try to scare the person who's going to sing.

Basically for me, the more space in the piece,

the more the rapper or the singer will be able to project himself.

It's true that, asproducers, sometimes

we can't help but put a lot of elements because we want to impress people.

When in fact for the rapper, the less there is the better.

They're scared when there are lots of drums, lots of synths,

they wonder: "How can I deal with this, I have no more space..."

Hence, I really try to clean up my tracks

and remain as simple as possible.

This way, as soon as I play the track, they can hear melodies right away,

and they're totally free to do what they like on it.

So, here's the session.

The synths I used in this track come from Omnisphere.

Regarding the VST,

for my bass, I use only two, Reaktor and Razor.

I use the one called "Punch in the Balls",

and this one, too, "Under the Top".

Basically, "Punch in the Balls" is my 808.

I'm not keen on using ready-made 808 sounds,

I don't know why, I never managed to use them.

That's why I made my own 808,

but it's really stylish,

we can change the drive easily.

Regarding "Under the Top", it's more of a sub in fact,

for the breakdowns, the moments when you really need

a bass throughout the track.

I don't add any compressors or anything,

I like its original sound.

I play a little bit with the cut off or things like that,

but for the most part I use it as it is.

There's a bass, a synth, and then I added lots of drums.

I also had to mix the vocals for this track.

Even if we think we're producers and all we have to do is creating the beat,

for me it was a great experience to spend whole nights

to try and mix voices, because it's something I never did before.

Now I feel more comfortable

to work with singers.

So just take, for fun, an a cappella on internet,

which is completely dry, where there's nothing on it,

and try to make it the most listenable as possible.

I often challenge myself like that,

it's geeky stuff, but I go on Youtube and say to myself:

"So, how can I make a voice sound the best possible",

even if I do not need it for my project.

I learned almost everything I do on Youtube, for real.

You tap "tutorial no matter what" and it's great.

They explain everything.

That's how I learned most of what I know,

and I experiment a lot, too.

The second project I wanted to show you is slighlty different.

I made this track at home in Toronto, so not at all in a studio.

It's a 14-minute piece, where the bpm changes all the time,

but using only the same sounds,

and it delivers a lot of different atmospheres.

It was super exciting, and I put it on my Soundcloud.

As you can see, the session is huge.

In this part, there's one track I did in "Sketches",

for Native Instruments.

If you have a drought of inspiration, or are looking for new things,

challenge yourself a bit like:

"I'm gonna create a 15-minutes track " or ..

It's just a kind of training, that's what I do, personally.

And I think that's why I keep loving it, remain motivated,

it's because I challenge myself

instead of doing the same things all the time.

If you make only Hip-Hop beats for example, come home tomorrow

and make a piece of Electro or Dubstep or something else.

It's all about pushing all the time motivation and inspiration

to explore new things.

And again, if you're looking for some pianos,

there's the Una Corda libray, there are plenty of pianos and it's super cool.

And for the bass,

there are plenty of great sounds on Razor that you can use.

These two are really my go-to,

I use them all the time.

Same, I make all my drums on Maschine,

and the day I understood that thing ...

I guess you all know it,

but I told it to a guy who didn't it and it changed his life,

so I'll tell you.

Basically, let's say you're making your drums pattern,

just move it to your daw,

and it's turned straight into .wav format.

It's really fast!

It provides you directly a .wav file,

I mean, an audio file.

In one click, and it's done in two seconds.

It changed my life and since then, I do it all the time.

Something else. Here, if you select just one sound,

you don't want to export everything,

shift into piano mode, and export that moment. And as you can see, only the kick is taken into account.

It's just small things but ..

Knowing these little tricks changed everything for me.

That's it, thank you very much!

(BLEATING)

(BLEATING CONTINUES)

This isn't the first time these guys

have tried to get their hands on game-changing weaponry.

That's Mitchell Carson, Ex-Head of Defense at S.H.I.E.L.D.

Presently in the business of toppling governments.

He always wanted my tech.

And now, unless we break in and steal the Yellowjacket

and destroy all the data,

Darren Cross is gonna unleash chaos upon the world.

I think our first move should be calling the Avengers.

(HANK SCOFFS)

I spent half my life

trying to keep this technology out of the hands of a Stark.

I'm sure as hell not gonna hand-deliver it to one now.

This is not some cute technology like the Iron Man suit.

This could change the texture of reality.

Besides, they're probably too busy dropping cities out of the sky.

Okay, then why don't you just send the ants?

Scott, they are ants.

Ants, they can do a lot of things, but they still need a leader.

Somebody that could infiltrate a place that's designed to prevent infiltration.

Hank, I'm a thief, all right? I mean, I'm a good thief, but this is insane.

He's right, Hank. And you know it.

You've seen the footage, you know what Cross is capable of.

I was against using him when we had months,

and now we have days.

I'm wearing the suit.

Absolutely not!

I know the facility inside and out. I know how Cross thinks.

I know this mission better than anybody here.

We need you close to Cross. Otherwise, this mission cannot work.

- We don't have time to screw around! - Hope, please listen to me...

He is a criminal! I'm your daughter.

(SLAMS TABLE) - No!

(SIGHS)

(SIGHING)

She's right, Hank.

I'm not your guy.

- Why don't you wear the suit? - (SIGHING)

You think I don't want to?

I can't.

I spent years wearing it,

and it took a toll on me.

(SIGHS)

You're our only option.

Before Hope lost her mother,

she used to look at me like I was the greatest man in the world.

And now she looks at me and there's just disappointment.

It's too late for me,

but not for you.

This is your chance.

The chance to earn that look in your daughter's eyes.

To become the hero that she already thinks you are.

It's not about saving our world.

It's about saving theirs.

Damn. That was a good speech.

Scott,

I need you to be the Ant-Man.

Must Have Android Apps - Part 1 - Duration: 4:49.

Hello people Welcome to tech wolf Channel.

In this video I am going to tell you Five Free Android applications

you must have installed on your device. "Volume Booster". This is a simple small

sized application helps to boost your mobile phone's volume. If you feel volume

of your device is not enough even if it is set to maximum, you must try this.

Or sometimes when you want to play one particular video or song with low audio

this application of definitely helps. Setting the volume booster percentage to

15 to 20 is enough in most cases.

"Open Camera" A great replacement for stock Android camera.

This camera is just amazing because of its limitless features.

With "repeat" mode on you can set the camera to take certain number of photos

within a time frame. Select how many photos you want to take continuously.

You can set from 2 to unlimited. With "repeat mode interval" you can set the time gap

between each capture. Here you have options from 1 seconds to 2 hours.

There are plenty of customization possible. With this application you can set

image quality, mode and many more setting. Not only photos but also for video recording.

You can set video resolution depending upon your requirement. If you just wanted

to post a video in social medias, you can select SD 720x480 for lower file size.

Or if you want it in HD video, select Highest Quality option. This is a Free

software without annoying advertisements popping up. Next application in our list

is "Turbo VPN" well there are many Free VPN software's available on Google Play store.

I found this one more helpful after trying most of them. This is a Free but

advertisement supported VPN software. Main advantage of this

application is, you can select country from the available list. Simple UI

and quick connectivity makes this one of the best. 4th application

in our list is "Call Recorder". This is another great free application.

Again there are hundreds of "Call Recorder" applications available. Most of them

doesn't work as expected or have one or other bugs. This call recorder application

is easy to use and with some custom settings. You can set a password

to the application for privacy, or you can add a contact to "ignore list".

so it will not record calls from the contacts in "ignore list". You may want to

turn off "Auto Speaker" mode because it automatically switch on speaker for every call.

Last application in this list is smart document scanner. You might not

use this application in everyday life. But it comes handy in certain situations.

It acts as a real PC scanner. You can scan Books, Photos or any Documents to

PDF or JPEG formats. Main advantage of this application is you can create a

single PDF file with multiple pages.

The clarity of plain text documents is pretty good if compared to other applications.

That's all for today. Thank You for watching and see you soon.

How To Make A Pearl Spiral Wrap Ring - Duration: 8:33.

To make the ring we've got two different wires here and two different thicknesses.

The thick wire is 14 gauge and the thin wire is 26 gauge and they're both silver-plated wire.

And we've got a freshwater pearl.

This is a 12 millimeter coin-shaped pearl, which means it's flat and round, and it's drilled through this way.

For tools, we have a jewelry hammer and a jeweler's bench block,

which is basically like a little metal anvil. And we've got chain-nose pliers and wire cutters.

We also have a fat Sharpie and that's a for a special trick we'll show you.

To make the ring, the first thing we want to do is cut a piece of the thick wire. This is the 14 gauge wire.

The gauges on wire, the number gets smaller as the wire gets thicker.

So 14 gauge is a low number but a fat piece of wire. And

we cut this piece to about a five, five and a quarter inches. The way you can figure out the length is

you can take a string and

wrap it around your ring finger and you'll want to go around

two times.

So you've got, well it's flipping around on me,

but you can see we want to go around two times like that. And

you'll end up with wire that wraps around like this ring does,

with one end here, all the way around once, and then one end here. Cut your little piece of string.

You can measure it and

write it down for future reference that that's how long you'll make this ring. Or you can just lay this string against your wire

like this and

wrap it around until you get to the end and then that's where you want to cut it.

So that's how I figured out how to cut this piece of wire so it'll be the right length for my ring finger.

The next thing we want to do is hammer the ends flat. Right now

the ends are kind of blunt cut with the wire cutters and they're a little bit sharp,

but if we hammer them with the jewelry hammer here on the bench block we can make a nice little paddle shape.

So I'm just going to hit this a few times. I've put the bench block here on top of a mouse pad.

It's upside down, so the rubbery side is up. This is going to keep this from slipping around.

It also takes some of the

bang out of the hammering. And the bench block we just got at a jewelry supply store. So I'm gonna hammer this.

And I'm using the flat end of this hammer because I want to flatten

that edge of the wire down. It's getting flat, but I'd like it a little bit flatter.

So altogether that was about 10 hits and you can see it's round here and then it flattens out and widens a little bit and

that's going to be nice for the ends of our ring. So I'm going to do the other side here. This is the other cut side.

And I'm not trying to straighten this wire out to work with it.

I'm gonna end up curling it to make it into a ring.

I don't want to bend it and unbend it a lot of times.

It makes it hard.

It actually hardens the silver and it just might get a little out of shape that way. So I'm just leaving it.

This is the shape it was in when I took it off of the coil here, and I'm just going to hold it

so that the end is on the bench block. This can just sit up that way.

I'm gonna hit it just like I did the other side.

That's five hits. It needs a few more.

And

there it's looking nice and kind of paddled. We call that. It's kind of paddled out there, a little wider there, at the ends.

So that's all we're going to use the jewelry hammer for. I can move that out of the way. And

now what we want to do is shape this into a ring shape so we can wear it. And

what we like to do is find something around the house that a ring fits on. So you'll take your ring off,

go around the house until you find something that's the perfect size to fit your ring on. Here's my

regular ring fits right on here. So that's my size.

Yours might be a smaller Sharpie or if you want to wear it on your thumb

you might choose a Marks-A-Lot. Some bigger marker.

We're going to use this as a mandrel. If you have a mandrel, of course, you can just use your mandrel. And

what I'm going to do--I'm not going to try to bend it around the mandrel. I'm calling the Sharpie a mandrel.

I'm not gonna try to bend it starting at the end. The ends are harder now because I've hammered them.

So it's easier to start at the center.

I've got the curve going around the Sharpie and I'm gonna hold it with my thumb here and

bend one end around.

It takes a little bit of elbow grease, but you can do it. And

flatten one side down. And

then I'm going to take the other end and bend it around

and

flatten it down.

So now you can see that this is the kind of shape we want. We're looking at this, this is the same kind of ring.

This is the kind of shape we want for the ring.

It's hard to bend these ends all the way down because they're hard from hammering and they're a little bit pointy.

So for this last bend, what I'm going to do is get my chain-nose pliers, which are my flat

pliers, and I'm just gonna grab the end of the paddle there and bend it around. So now it has that nice curved shape.

Do the same on the other side. We'll grab the little paddle and

curve it.

I can also pull these apart a little bit at this time, because what we want to do is now put the pearl on top.

Here's our pearl and

it's called a coin pearl. It's drilled this way and we want it to fit on top of these wires. If

the wires are too close together, the pearl is going to stick out on both sides.

So I'm going to just pull this apart a little bit.

So it's the right width for our coin pearl.

That looks about right. And now all we have to do is attach the pearl to our wire wrap here

using the thin wire. The thin wire is 26 gauge. As

I said the higher the number the thinner the wire, so 26 gauge is very thin.

We just cut a piece about four inches long for this. And

I think it's easiest if you go ahead and put the pearl on the wire right in the center.

Then you can hold the pearl on the ring when you do your wraps. And

the way we're going to attach the pearl then to the bigger wire--

spiral ring underneath-is we're going to take this end and wrap it around that paddle shape there.

So I'm just gonna hold this tight and I'm going to go around the paddle there. And

one of the things that the paddle did for us is it's wider here

than it is where I'm doing the wraps so that the ring won't slide off.

It would be kind of

pinched in there. I'm gonna do about five wraps.

And that's about one--two--three--four, I'll do one more

wrap.

Come up around. And then I'm going to trim that wire with the wire cutters.

I'm going to trim it on top and that way the pokey end won't be underneath where it's going to touch your ring finger. And

then I want to pull this

wire tight

to do the next wraps. I don't want a piece sticking out on this side like that.

That's ugly. I'm gonna pull that nice and tight and then push the coin over,

tight, and now I'm going to do the wraps on this side.

Just like we did before I'm going to go underneath and around and I'm gonna do five wraps. That's two...

Three...

Four...

And five. And I'm even going to use my chain-nose pliers to to pull that wire

nice and tight there.

And I can push those wraps together with my fingernails and then trim that little end off.

And that's all there is to that ring. It's pretty easy and it looks like a million bucks.
