BIG CS:GO ANNOUNCEMENT: European Community League (ECL) - Duration: 3:54.
Hey guys, salut mes amis, och hallå gubbar, Maxim here.
Here's the big announcement that I promised, welcome to ECL, the European Community League.
The idea behind ECL is by Jeff aka HOUNGOUNGAGNE,
a french YouTuber that most of you probably know already, together with me, Tweeday and
Trilluxe we've decided to work together to give you guys the best Matchmaking experience possible.
My issue with the current Matchmaking system is that it's crawling with just too many cheaters
and too many watermelons.
It happens way too often that you get some really toxic dude in your team, which btw
is why I prefer playing with people I know.
Even when I have a high trust factor it still happens too often, and it shouldn't have to
be that I need to play with friends to enjoy the game.
This is why I love the idea behind ECL and why I'm part of it.
ECL is for people looking for a better Matchmaking experience and is willing to support the league.
We, ECL offers prizes, tournaments, seasons and it's obviously well balanced so you get matched
with people close to your skill.
It's a very serious project and one of the biggest ones I've been involved in so far.
It's been in the works for months, and we really want to make this work.
Just to make it really clear though: Even though we all wanted ECL to be free, it just
wouldn't be possible and there's a lot of reasons behind it, Jeff has a great video explaining why.
But to join ECL is currently set at €4.99 a month, and you will get access to all features, plus
most of it will go towards supporting the league.
Now, in order to run something this big, it needs to run on a good platform.
Making one from scratch takes lots of time, energy, not to mention how expensive it would
be, so the best way to move forward was to integrate ECL with FaceIT.
Now to make this clear, we are not FaceIT, but we're working together with FaceIT.
FaceIT has all the tools needed to successfully build what we want to achieve with ECL.
This also means that you don't need FaceIT premium to play on ECL, but you will need
to use the mandatory anti-cheat which is great for us all.
I also know that many of you might be wondering if there's a possibility of getting into FPL-C
and I can say right now that we are working on it so you might see that possibility in the future.
But the more people we are in ECL, the better the experience will be for everyone and the
more things we'll be able to do.
I think the best part about ECL is that we have total control over the environment, meaning
we can moderate the league and toxic behaviors will be punished...
Now because I truly believe in ECL and it's been in the works for a very long time, I'm
going to play on it as much as possible, which means you'll get a chance to play with me
if you decide to do the same.
It's gonna be fun to meet some of you guys there, and I really felt like this was needed.
I'm also going to start streaming very soon now that my Twitch issues are gone, so let's
have some fun together and play the Matchmaking we deserve.
Right now we have the warmup season, this is the season to test how everything works,
and obviously there are prices as you can see.
Just click on join now, subscribe and then you can join the specific hub that matches
your level on FaceIT.
You can also check out the video description for everything regarding ECL and how to join.
Discord has lots of information as well.
Thanks for watching guys, and go bananas!

The Economics of Uber - Duration: 9:42.
This video is sponsored by Skillshare.
The first 200 people to use the link in the description get their first two months free.
Uber is the highest-valued private company in the world,
More than Airbnb, SpaceX, and Lyft combined.
Every day, 15 million rides are taken across 600 cities in 78 countries -
Everywhere from the Southern Tip of Africa to the tiny town of Gridley, California - home
of the Red Suspenders Festival, I'm sure you're familiar.
Uber is so successful because it's so convenient.
Open the app and choose a ride - standard, or luxury, or, in India, rickshaw.
Soon, even flying taxi.
Afterwards, you rate the driver, and they rate you.
1 through 4 stars being the worst experience of your life.
And five stars, anywhere from Mostly Tolerable to Absolutely amazing.
I'm only slightly kidding: a 4.6 average can get a driver deactivated.
Still better than Netflix's thumbs up or down, which is 80% sure I'll like The Emoji
Movie,
To which, I say:
Finally, Uber calculates the price, it's really very simple:
Start with the regular base fare, add the per minute rate multiplied by time spent in
car, plus distance times the per mile rate, all of which depend on the city.
A $40 ride in Tokyo costs $1.62 in Cairo.
Then add the booking fee, and possibly airport, toll, cancellation, cleaning, and lost item
fees.
UNLESS there are too many riders and not enough drivers, in which case multiply by a surge
price,
2, 3, or, on New Years Eve Two-Thousand-Eleven, seven times the normal price.
And as YoutUBERs have shown, algorithms can be manipulated:
If drivers log out at the same time, they create a shortage and trigger a surge.
Oh, it also uses machine learning to predict how much you're willing to pay based on
route,
so maybe don't call an Uber from the Burj Khalifa to The Bellagio, besides the fact
that you… can't.
Even despite this, Uber is almost always cheaper, faster, and easier.
It took the most outdated, inefficient industry,
sprinkled in something called "Technology"
and completely reinvented the wheel.
Oh, come on, you should know by now, there's always a twist…
In the 1930's, The Great Depression… happened.
It wasn't great, but it was depressing.
Every fourth American was unemployed and desperate for work.
Especially low-skill, low barrier-to-entry jobs,
But, YouTube hadn't been invented, so, they drove taxis - lots and lots of taxis.
Meanwhile, fewer people could afford a ride.
And, as I was taught by a monopoly educating me about the danger of monopolies, When this
line goes up, and this ones goes down, prices fall and drivers get angry.
Like, violent protests in the street angry.
So New York City wrote the Haas Act.
Now, to legally operate a taxi, you'd need one of 17,000 licenses called medallions.
But 81 years later, with a million more people, it's only 13,000.
You can see the problem.
The number of medallions issued is more political than it is practical.
Before, extreme competition made prices unsustainably low.
Good for riders, bad for drivers.
And then, the pendulum reversed - too little competition made taxis expensive and inefficient
- bad for riders, good for drivers.
One medallion, the right to operate a single taxi, was once worth over a million dollars.
But advice like this hasn't aged so well.
Because: Uber happened.
Its drivers flood the market by not requiring medallions, draining their value.
High competition, low prices, and angry calls for regulation - Sound familiar?
This time, we aren't in an economic depression, but many households are, which means lots
of drivers.
For you and I, Uber is revolutionary - the low prices of last century plus the magic
of these things.
And for drivers, well, yes and no…
If you ask Uber what the average driver makes an hour, they point you to this study: $19.19.
Another says 21.
Not too bad - unless, you look under the hood.
What they don't include are the car, its depreciation, maintenance, gas, and some of
the insurance.
Adjust for these and things aren't so rosy -
This study estimates the median hourly profit is eight fifty five before taxes,
less than minimum wage for 54% of drivers.
8% actually lose money.
You might say: But Uber is supplementary - a quick way to make extra cash between jobs.
And, that's mostly true, about 60% have another primary income.
Plus, unlike taxis, who are even legally required to wear black socks in LA, with Uber, you
have some freedom.
But the reason people don't drive more might only be they can't.
Because Uber considers its drivers not employees, but independent contractors.
Employees are entitled to minimum wage, gas reimbursement, overtime, breaks, collective
bargaining, paid leave, and health insurance,
Which would cost the company about 4 billion dollars a year.
So they're extremely careful to call drivers "partners", and itself, not a transportation
company, but a "platform" -
Simply connecting riders to drivers, who decide when to work, what to wear, and so on.
But, Uber controls the prices.
And that's the catch - if drivers are just independent businesses, Uber setting their
fares could be considered price fixing.
So, which are they?
That depends on who you ask and when, and the answer will shape the future of the industry.
But something doesn't add up, The golden age for drivers came from regulating competition,
the same regulation Uber spends millions of dollars fighting.
Going back to the days of high competition and low prices.
But …why?
If Uber takes a cut from drivers, their interests should be the same.
Regulation, of course, slows its growth, but there's also another reason:
Drivers compete - but Uber makes the same commission regardless of who picks you up.
Uber makes more money with more drivers.
But drivers want the opposite - less competition.
They look like other platform-vendor relationships - Amazon and its sellers, Apple and app developers,
Both of which need their vendors - if YouTube leaves the app store, Apple can't replace
it.
But drivers are drivers - Uber needs them - but no one in particular; they're disposable.
Something like 96% stop driving for the company in their first year.
The two seem economically intertwined, but as long as Uber can find more drivers, they
can keep fares unsustainably competitive with rivals.
The real winners of the Haas Act weren't cabdrivers, who couldn't afford million
dollar medallions, but their owners.
Instead of drivers giving away their first $100 a day to rent a medallion, now it's
25% all day.
For many drivers, it's still a very welcome and useful opportunity, but it isn't quite
the groundbreaking revolution promised.
And it may not last…
On paper, Uber has the perfect business model:
Its huge network of drivers dominate the globe,
but it need not buy a single car or gallon of fuel.
All perk, and no work.
Something thousands of startups desperately try to emulate.
Most of which belong on Flopstarter, with products like the TIMELESS watch, which…
doesn't tell the time.
So how did Uber lose four and a half billion dollars last year?
That's 12 million dollars a day!
Many startups sacrifice profit for growth, But Uber is nine years old.
Facebook made money after two.
The company's biggest problem may not be its legality, or controversy although there's
plenty of that, but basic holes in its business model.
The magic of so many companies is the network effect.
Every new customer makes it that much easier to get another.
You join Facebook because Steve is on it, Kim joins Facebook because you are, and so
on.
For Uber though, this is only regional.
More drivers in New York does nothing for Beijing.
In fact, it failed in all of China.
Every city is a new chicken-and-egg problem:
Drivers need riders before they'll drive, and riders need drivers before they'll ride,
I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.
I do not like green eggs and - oh.
This helps keep prices low, and profits, nonexistent.
It's inescapable and leaves only one path for Uber: self-driving cars.
Remove the driver, remove the money-eating machine.
But it means competing with the technology of Google and the auto-expertise of GM.
Either it'll transform into one of the biggest transportation companies in the world, or,
it'll be the end of the road.
It plans to go public next year.
which'll be fascinating to watch, doubly so if you understand the basics of the stock
market.
A great way to learn is with Skillshare.
This course explains investing, starting with the basics.
And its taught by my friends over at Business Casual, a great channel I've collaborated
with before.
I've personally watched the course, and it really is a nice, concise introduction.
Better yet, it's presented in a series of well-produced, animated videos, you're not
watching someone talk over a Powerpoint.
And that's what's so great about Skillshare - you learn from experts, in a way that you
actually want to keep going back to.
It pays to invest in yourself today so you can be a good investor tomorrow.
Maybe you're inspired to start your own business, or just see what it's like,
Classes like this one cover how an idea becomes a business, and how you can get into the entrepreneur
mindset.
There are over 20,000 courses, from cooking to making animating videos like this one.
A premium membership gives you unlimited access to all of them, and the first 500 people to
use the link in the description get 2 months totally free.
Thanks to Skillshare for supporting this show, and to you for listening.
Oh by the way - I hope you like the new logo as much as I do.
I'd love to hear from you on my newly improved subreddit and Discord.

3 plant cocktails by Matteo Di Ienno - Locale Firenze - Duration: 8:36.
Good morning, I'm Matteo Di Ienno. We're at Firenze, cocktail bar and restaurant.
Today we're showing you some twists on classics, variants of Italian
classics. The first is a twist on Americano, called
Elisir di Caterina. We're using Italian red vermouth, red bitter,
an artichoke leaf hydrolate, obtained by distilling artichoke
leaves in water and a distilled of artichoke core in alcohol. We're serving it
with lovage, meaning Motti Cress by Koppert Cress, and artichoke leaf.
Let's start by the cutting of ice, a fundamental part of the drink as
it'll cool the drink without diluting it too much. We're using clear ice,
that doesn't contain any gas.
Let's start by adding the alcoholic parts, meaning Italian red vermouth
from Turin, the bitter, a bittering part.
The artichoke distilled, a small part. It's very intense. And the hydrolate, which will
give the dilution to the drink. Let's dilute the drink and cool it. Our
Americano is a carbonated drink, hence sparkling. Instead of adding soda,
we're making the whole drink sparkling by pouring it in a neutral plastic
bottle that will be containing carbon dioxide. Dry ice is nothing
more than solid carbon dioxide, so when it contacts
the liquid, it will melt and release the gas part. As you can see, carbon
dioxide has been released inside the liquid, so a foam creates with
bubbles inside the drink. The drink is now sparkling and ready to be served. We're adding our
lovage, Motti Cress, on an artichoke leaf.
This is our Elisir di Caterina that is usually served in a
bottle, paired with our Motti Cress. For the next drink,
we're showing you a variant on Martini cocktail,
actually on dirty martini, and we call it Not So Dirty. We're using
Italian dry vermouth from Turin, a saline solution, meaning
20% salt diluted in water, london dry gin from Tuscany, extra virgin olive oil
from Tuscany, and our Wheat Grass, wheat cress. First,
we're cutting our Wheat Grass. Let's centrifuge the cress.
Let's now make the fat wash. It's used to aromatize an alcoholic
part with a fat part that we'll later separate by cold filtering.
In this case, here's our Peter in Florence london dry gin and extra virgin
olive oil, Pruneti. We're now moving our preparation in a freezer
for three hours to separate the fat part.
After three hours, our gin was separated from oil, so we're pouring it.
We're adding vermouth, saline solution drops.
We're now adding drops of Wheat Grass that we extracted before.
We're adding ice.
We're stirring the drink to cool and dilute it, as a classic Martini.
To finish our Not So Dirty Martini, we're adding Floregano
by Koppert Cress, that is the oregano flower. Here's our Not So Dirty Martini, a twist
on the classic Martini cocktail. The next drink is Elisir De Mar.
We were inspired by the Mediterranean flavors by re-distilling gin
with Mediterranean aromas, botanicals such as rosemary, sage, basil
and olives. Cuttlefish ink, pear jam, plum tomato, dry vermouth, fresh lime
and we'll serve it with Aria di Mare and Salicornia Cress. Our Mediterranean
gin, cuttlefish ink, pear jam that gives it the
sweet part. Dry vermouth,
fresh lime. Let's shake our Elisir De Mar.
We're serving our drink in this porcelain curl, together with sesame seeds
and our Salicornia Cress.
We're serving it with our Aria di Mare, that is nothing more than liquid salt, fresh
lemon juice and ester sugar, emulsified with an areator. On top of it, it'll give
the drink its sapid part. Here's our Elisir De Mar, that should be
tasted while chewing our Salicornia Cress. The next drink is
Gibson Locale, a variant on the classic gibson. Our ingredients
are Peter in Florence, a gin from Tuscany, Rock Chives, garlic sprouts, water and
sugar and acid. We'll need a vacuum bag
where we'll pour our water and sugar at 50%.
We're adding our garlic cress.
Tartaric and citric acid. The bag will be vacuum sealed. After 4 hours
cooking at a temperature of 52°C in the rohner, we'll obtain this cordial with strong hints
of garlic. The drink is prepared with the throwing technique. We're pouring the
ingredients in the tin. Our cordial. The throwing is a combination of
stirring and shaking. We'll obtain an oxigenation given by the throwing, as if
it was shaken, with the dilution of a stirring, as if it was stir. Balsamic
gel and purple cabbage powder.
We're finishing the drink with our garlic cresses, that we're serving on
the edge of the glass.
Gibson Locale. Cheers!

Absorbine® Santa Fe™ Coat Conditioner and Sunscreen Review - Duration: 1:26.
DANIELLE: Hi, I'm Danielle from Marketing,
and today I'll be reviewing Absorbine Santa Fe Coat
Conditioner and Sunscreen. I am absolutely obsessed with
this spray, and I love everything about it.
I have a young black horse who sun bleaches really easily
and this spray is a lifesaver. I've used a lot of other
sunscreens in the past to try and prevent Loki's coat
from getting sun bleached and this one by far works the best.
I originally started using this spray when my barn manager
bought it for the barn while we were down in Florida, and now
I love it so much that I use it every day before and after
I ride and I even mix a little bit in with his fly spray
so he can use it when he goes out in turnout, as well.
I also love how soft and shiny this makes him. I've gotten
so many compliments on his coat since I've started using this.
This makes grooming nice and easy because it also repels
dust and I also spray a little bit in his mane and tail to help
detangle and also shine it. Another great thing about
this spray is that it's no slip so I can feel safe about
spraying it on his saddle area, which is good because that's
where he's sun bleaches the most so I spray a lot of it and as an
added bonus it smells great. This spray would be perfect
for anyone looking to protect their horse's coat from the sun
and also give a non-greasy shine. It's especially perfect
for darker horses to help maintain their coat color but I
also use this on my gray horse. I'm Danielle,
and the Absorbine Santa Fe Coat Conditioner and Sunscreen keeps
Loki blacker than ever.

Photographing Backyard Bees: The reDefine Show - Animal Edition! with Tamara Lackey - Duration: 5:04.
This is what I'm photographing today, and
I'm focusing on loving bees, but more
importantly how to photograph them well
while you love them!
Oh that's pretty.
Ok, this light just dramatically changed.
I have to quickly change my setting!
This one's dancing! This one danced... he
like shook himself like a dog, and I'm
dropping my ISO. I want to keep my
shutter speed pretty high, because
they're really fast moving, and I'm
staying at an f/8. One of my main goals is
to get a really clear sharp macro shot.
That will be very challenging to me,
because I think these are terrifying.
Oh man that's the swarmy part.
Oh, I also want to get a shot of all of
these, as many as I can get in in one
shot. Oh this is so pretty.
Hey can you get out of the way? No not you
that guy. So we're going to go out to meet
about 70,000 bees. Bees as many people
know are facing a terrible march to
extinction. There's less and less bees
everywhere, and there are a huge pivotal
part of our entire tire ecosystem, and
how long we've been doing backyard
bee keeping? Is that what you call it
backyard beekeeping?
Okay hobbyist. Okay. This is the sixth season.
Do you think it'll be okay to get
close enough to do macro shots where
it's right on the bee.
I hope so.
I'm going to have two cameras on me.
The one is the D850, with the macro lens which
is again what I'm trying to go for. The
105mm f2.8 macro lens. The other one is the
D500, and I'm going to attach to it the
24-70mm f/28. The reason I'm going to be
shooting with the D500, is it's a crop
sensor, which combined with the 70 mm,
allows me to get even closer
than that in terms of the reach I'll have.
It does blur your vision a bit huh?
Yep okay, I'm going to keep my shutter speed
up, because I don't know how fast these
guys will be moving. I feel like I've got to get
very close to get a macro. So I don't
want to bring a tripod in here because
I'm afraid it's going to make me look like
a bear if I'm this close.
The one thing I'm noticing is that I
have to do a bit of pre-focusing, which
is not easy for macro shooting, but
they're just so fast-moving. I kind of
got to figure out where they're going to be
and get ready. Say wait, this one's a good
one, right on the honey, good job!
Oh they like on me particularly? Or is
that just me!
it normally does in a macro, the closer
you get to a subject, the more narrow
your aperture needs to be. Because the
closer and closer you get, the less is in
focus. You get their eyes and everything,
but this time I want to get a macro,
where there's one bee, like on top, but a
wider field of focus, so other ones are
clearly in the shot as well. Macro is a
one-to-one, which affords me the ability
to get so close, that I can fill the
entire frame with just one bee.
Oh I just got the shot. So what I'm gonna do here,
because I want to go in and really show
that nest of awesomeness.
I'm going to shoot it at f/16.
I want to keep my shutter speed over at
least 1/200ths, which is a little
low for my preferences here, but that
said, because I'm going deep in there, and
it gets really dark in there,
I really boost my ISO up, so I'm going to
boost it to like a 5,000th.
I'm going to bring
it down to one 1/60th, and then
just bring that aperture down to f/14.
That's a cool shot, so the, my thought is,
I have them all going up and I want to
shoot a little bit down at them. Oh this
is it, this is it, wait, wait, wait, don't
move anything, this is the angle! I wanted to
get that shot in there and I got it.
A couple of my most favorite shots, one
is that whole look at where the entire
frame is covered in a multitude of bees.
I thought that was a very cool shot. I
tried to get it at a mirror aperture so
to show more texture, and more of the
overall feel of looking at that many
bees together, and another one was just
a beautiful macro, with those iridescent
wings, when the lights hit perfectly. As
well as that beautiful honeycomb look,
was really striking.
So that's enough, all
right guys that's a wrap!
We'll see you later thank you for not
stinging us in any way... I think I
shouldn't say that 'till we're out of here!

Day 14: No-One Turned Up To The Gym, Fitness Motivation? - Duration: 7:41.
Hi members its day 14 of the 90-day health and well-being journey and
Turned up for gym today and
It was a 5:30 session. So you'd think that
people would be leaving work and they would head on over to the gym and
Do an hour workout
However, I was the only one that turned up so that was a bit shocking actually
It was Fran. She's a pretty hard task
a pretty hard
Person to you know, I mean she drives your heart. That's what I'm trying to say and
she pushes you and it was like that boot camp that I talked about last week and
Hi Joanna
he going
So I was just a bit shocked that I was the only person that turned up and she can't operate the class unless there's five
people in attendance
so
That left me a bit high and dry with what to do. So I ended up just
Heading on to the the walking machine and just did an hour of walking on the machine
I just never feel like I get a solid workout when I'm
Doing the walking machine
Hi Diana, great to see you here. Yeah, so no one turned up and
You know, she needs five people. So the comment was actually somebody walked in the second person about five minutes after I'd arrived and
Said it's not on tonight. And she said no she
said that people would prefer to be outdoors in this weather and
I
Was a bit surprised with that
I mean you when you commit to some sort of health plan or some sort of exercise regime
I think you just make that commitment you schedule it and you you know you pay for a gym membership you
Should really be just turning up making it part of your routine
Rather than all the weather's good today. I'm not going to turn up or I'm not going to go
It's a bit like, you know within our community
We know the importance of mindset and mindset development may leaning over here because that sums quite bright
we know the importance of developing your mindset personal growth personal development and
we make it as part of our routine as part of our regime and
You know we might miss a few
Yeah
but we do schedule it and we make it as part of what we do every single day and
I was just a bit surprised that you know, there is always a shift here
Apparently once the weather turns really really good
I can sort of understand because the the winters here are very very harsh
the gyms are full in the winter here and
So when the when the good weather arrives, then people are wanting to be out and about in the hotter weather
So anyway, it was a shame
However, I'm still on track. I'm still on target
I burnt in one hour of the Machine and having an incline and I was sitting at about 3.8
I burnt about
370 calories so that's pretty amazing. So when you add that to my
1320 calories that I'm allowed every day that takes it up to what 16 90 calories
So that's quite a good amount of food to eat
I don't think I will hit that at all, and I'm usually staying well under that
That 13 20 plus the exercise that I do so the exercise makes the difference with what you can actually the calorie intake
You know what it is. You can eat through the day and just to make sure that you're feeling full
I don't like the protein powder that much there's too much that has to go into your food
It's a massive scoop and I find it very very very sweet
They've sweetened it with stevia. I can see on the label
Even though it's a natural plant product
It's still extremely sweet and I don't want to be sprinkling it on everything and just become accustomed to this sort of sweet
Develop a sweet tooth. So
I put one tablespoon
In my oatmeal in my oats my rolled oats
This afternoon before I went to the gym
And I measured it out once scoop is actually five tablespoons, and that's just way too much for me to sort of consume
I'm going to try the chocolate one tonight. That was the vanilla protein powder
I'll try the chocolate one and just maybe make up a treat with water. So just do water and
the
Chocolate protein powder it just sort of psychologically goes against everything when you're actually adding chocolate you feel like you're adding chocolate to your diet
but I need the protein that you need to consume quite a bit of
Beans or meat to get your daily requirement of protein. So that's the important piece
So I'll try the chocolate protein powder tonight
Worked on youtube today
Just optimizing my videos
I'm behind with optimizing I keep saying to everyone just make sure you dedicate 20 minutes when you upload your video to
optimize
So I'm a little bit behind so I'm catching up on those videos also
I created a video today which when I was with Claudia, I wanted to show Claudia what I do with video Q and
it's my way of optimizing those videos and so go and take a look at that and
It shows you what to do in those 20 minutes when you upload that video
Diana I find that chocolate protein powders taste better, but I like chocolate. So do I
So do I so it might be a better choice? So I'm going to open that up tonight and just mix it with water
I might I was even thinking I might even put some frozen strawberries with it
in the
nutribullet and
See what that does see if there and that could be a nice treat
Because I'm not treating myself to anything like desserts or anything. So I think that might be a good idea just to say to myself
Psychologically, well, you know, I'm gonna have a treat and make it the chocolate protein powder
Yeah, that's what I'll do Diana
I think I'll just put frozen strawberries in it and just
Whip that up and see what that comes out like because I'm finding the vanilla one very overpowering and very very sweet
so
Everything's on track day 14. So we're two weeks into the 90-day health and well-being challenge. I'm feeling good. I'm feeling healthy
I like what my diet consists of. I know that I'm focusing on protein
I'm gonna have shrimp salad tonight Oh actually no, I'm gonna have shrimp
I've got the shrimp out which is high in protein and I've got a a
Tuscan vegetable soup, so I'm actually going to heat up the Tuscan vegetable soup
And I'm going to put the grilled prawns or shrimp as it's called here in America
The grilled shrimp in with the tusks and vegetables. So I think that will be really really good and low in calories
very low
So that's my share everyone and keep on track everyone
Keep at it and we're two weeks into the journey and everyone's doing awesome
Thanks Diana for being here and I think I saw Theresa join as well. So
Great to see that you're watching Theresa, and I'll check in with everyone tomorrow. Bye everyone

The Ultimate Key to Success - Duration: 3:16.
Hey are you trying to grow your business maybe even grow personally or grow in
your sales, but you're struggling to generate the results you really want? In
today's video I want to share with you what I've learned is one of the keys to
success of growing businesses and even growing personally.
Alright so we're all trying to achieve goals in our life. Maybe you're trying to grow your
business, grow your sales, even grow personally. In today's video I want to
share with you guys what I've learned over years of trying to grow businesses,
years of trying to even grow personally. You know we all face in our
life where we get into ruts, maybe you're in one right now, where you're down and
out, you're depressed because you're not generating the results you want. What
I've really realized is one of the keys to success is your focus. Where you focus
is where your energy is gonna be, your passions gonna be, and that's gonna
dictate your results. And want to share with you guys three things to think
about to help guide your focus to generate the results you want.
So, first point is are you focused on your past, your present, or your future?
See so many of us focus all of our energy on our past. Maybe it's trying to
relive the glory days of high school or college, or maybe you're focused on the
regrets that you have. That you didn't choose the right school to go to, or you
didn't choose the right job. That's not going to generate the results you want.
And then also when you think about your future, it's great to focus on your
future, but the trap that you'll fall into is you'll spend all your time
dreaming of where you want to be and no time and execution. See, you want to focus
on your future to set your vision, but then focus on the present to drive
results. What can you do today to drive results to help get you to that goal
that you want to achieve. And that really leads me to the second point. The second
point is make sure you're focusing on revenue generating activities. If you're
a REALTOR®, an insurance agent, a financial advisor, make sure in your business what
you're driving towards are revenue generating activities. Do things that
only you can do and pass off everything else. The third point is don't chase
every shiny object that comes your way. The number one mistake I see in REALORS®,
insurance agents, financial advisors, when you're new to this
business what happens is every new lead platform that gets presented to you,
every new coaching opportunity, every new business model, you tend to jump on that
bandwagon. And you spend time, money, and energy. And all of a sudden your
defocused, you're not committed, and you're not getting the results you want.
Don't chase every shiny object that comes your way. Focus, commit. If you
choose a platform, commit to that lead platform for 90 days. Be committed. Put
your focus there, put your energy there, and then measure the results. So there
you have it guys one of the keys to business that I've learned in my life
over growing a multi-million dollar business is it really comes down to
where is your focus. Because your focus will drive the energy, passion, and time,
and ultimately will dictate the results. If you like these tips, make sure you
subscribe to our YouTube channel, check us out on Facebook, and Instagram, but
most importantly, take action on this today!

BIG CS:GO ANNOUNCEMENT: European Community League (ECL) - Duration: 3:54.
Hey guys, salut mes amis, och hallå gubbar, Maxim here.
Here's the big announcement that I promised, welcome to ECL, the European Community League.
The idea behind ECL is by Jeff aka HOUNGOUNGAGNE,
a french YouTuber that most of you probably know already, together with me, Tweeday and
Trilluxe we've decided to work together to give you guys the best Matchmaking experience possible.
My issue with the current Matchmaking system is that it's crawling with just too many cheaters
and too many watermelons.
It happens way too often that you get some really toxic dude in your team, which btw
is why I prefer playing with people I know.
Even when I have a high trust factor it still happens too often, and it shouldn't have to
be that I need to play with friends to enjoy the game.
This is why I love the idea behind ECL and why I'm part of it.
ECL is for people looking for a better Matchmaking experience and is willing to support the league.
We, ECL offers prizes, tournaments, seasons and it's obviously well balanced so you get matched
with people close to your skill.
It's a very serious project and one of the biggest ones I've been involved in so far.
It's been in the works for months, and we really want to make this work.
Just to make it really clear though: Even though we all wanted ECL to be free, it just
wouldn't be possible and there's a lot of reasons behind it, Jeff has a great video explaining why.
But to join ECL is currently set at €4.99 a month, and you will get access to all features, plus
most of it will go towards supporting the league.
Now, in order to run something this big, it needs to run on a good platform.
Making one from scratch takes lots of time, energy, not to mention how expensive it would
be, so the best way to move forward was to integrate ECL with FaceIT.
Now to make this clear, we are not FaceIT, but we're working together with FaceIT.
FaceIT has all the tools needed to successfully build what we want to achieve with ECL.
This also means that you don't need FaceIT premium to play on ECL, but you will need
to use the mandatory anti-cheat which is great for us all.
I also know that many of you might be wondering if there's a possibility of getting into FPL-C
and I can say right now that we are working on it so you might see that possibility in the future.
But the more people we are in ECL, the better the experience will be for everyone and the
more things we'll be able to do.
I think the best part about ECL is that we have total control over the environment, meaning
we can moderate the league and toxic behaviors will be punished...
Now because I truly believe in ECL and it's been in the works for a very long time, I'm
going to play on it as much as possible, which means you'll get a chance to play with me
if you decide to do the same.
It's gonna be fun to meet some of you guys there, and I really felt like this was needed.
I'm also going to start streaming very soon now that my Twitch issues are gone, so let's
have some fun together and play the Matchmaking we deserve.
Right now we have the warmup season, this is the season to test how everything works,
and obviously there are prices as you can see.
Just click on join now, subscribe and then you can join the specific hub that matches
your level on FaceIT.
You can also check out the video description for everything regarding ECL and how to join.
Discord has lots of information as well.
Thanks for watching guys, and go bananas!

The Economics of Uber - Duration: 9:42.
This video is sponsored by Skillshare.
The first 200 people to use the link in the description get their first two months free.
Uber is the highest-valued private company in the world,
More than Airbnb, SpaceX, and Lyft combined.
Every day, 15 million rides are taken across 600 cities in 78 countries -
Everywhere from the Southern Tip of Africa to the tiny town of Gridley, California - home
of the Red Suspenders Festival, I'm sure you're familiar.
Uber is so successful because it's so convenient.
Open the app and choose a ride - standard, or luxury, or, in India, rickshaw.
Soon, even flying taxi.
Afterwards, you rate the driver, and they rate you.
1 through 4 stars being the worst experience of your life.
And five stars, anywhere from Mostly Tolerable to Absolutely amazing.
I'm only slightly kidding: a 4.6 average can get a driver deactivated.
Still better than Netflix's thumbs up or down, which is 80% sure I'll like The Emoji
Movie,
To which, I say:
Finally, Uber calculates the price, it's really very simple:
Start with the regular base fare, add the per minute rate multiplied by time spent in
car, plus distance times the per mile rate, all of which depend on the city.
A $40 ride in Tokyo costs $1.62 in Cairo.
Then add the booking fee, and possibly airport, toll, cancellation, cleaning, and lost item
fees.
UNLESS there are too many riders and not enough drivers, in which case multiply by a surge
price,
2, 3, or, on New Years Eve Two-Thousand-Eleven, seven times the normal price.
And as YoutUBERs have shown, algorithms can be manipulated:
If drivers log out at the same time, they create a shortage and trigger a surge.
Oh, it also uses machine learning to predict how much you're willing to pay based on
route,
so maybe don't call an Uber from the Burj Khalifa to The Bellagio, besides the fact
that you… can't.
Even despite this, Uber is almost always cheaper, faster, and easier.
It took the most outdated, inefficient industry,
sprinkled in something called "Technology"
and completely reinvented the wheel.
Oh, come on, you should know by now, there's always a twist…
In the 1930's, The Great Depression… happened.
It wasn't great, but it was depressing.
Every fourth American was unemployed and desperate for work.
Especially low-skill, low barrier-to-entry jobs,
But, YouTube hadn't been invented, so, they drove taxis - lots and lots of taxis.
Meanwhile, fewer people could afford a ride.
And, as I was taught by a monopoly educating me about the danger of monopolies, When this
line goes up, and this ones goes down, prices fall and drivers get angry.
Like, violent protests in the street angry.
So New York City wrote the Haas Act.
Now, to legally operate a taxi, you'd need one of 17,000 licenses called medallions.
But 81 years later, with a million more people, it's only 13,000.
You can see the problem.
The number of medallions issued is more political than it is practical.
Before, extreme competition made prices unsustainably low.
Good for riders, bad for drivers.
And then, the pendulum reversed - too little competition made taxis expensive and inefficient
- bad for riders, good for drivers.
One medallion, the right to operate a single taxi, was once worth over a million dollars.
But advice like this hasn't aged so well.
Because: Uber happened.
Its drivers flood the market by not requiring medallions, draining their value.
High competition, low prices, and angry calls for regulation - Sound familiar?
This time, we aren't in an economic depression, but many households are, which means lots
of drivers.
For you and I, Uber is revolutionary - the low prices of last century plus the magic
of these things.
And for drivers, well, yes and no…
If you ask Uber what the average driver makes an hour, they point you to this study: $19.19.
Another says 21.
Not too bad - unless, you look under the hood.
What they don't include are the car, its depreciation, maintenance, gas, and some of
the insurance.
Adjust for these and things aren't so rosy -
This study estimates the median hourly profit is eight fifty five before taxes,
less than minimum wage for 54% of drivers.
8% actually lose money.
You might say: But Uber is supplementary - a quick way to make extra cash between jobs.
And, that's mostly true, about 60% have another primary income.
Plus, unlike taxis, who are even legally required to wear black socks in LA, with Uber, you
have some freedom.
But the reason people don't drive more might only be they can't.
Because Uber considers its drivers not employees, but independent contractors.
Employees are entitled to minimum wage, gas reimbursement, overtime, breaks, collective
bargaining, paid leave, and health insurance,
Which would cost the company about 4 billion dollars a year.
So they're extremely careful to call drivers "partners", and itself, not a transportation
company, but a "platform" -
Simply connecting riders to drivers, who decide when to work, what to wear, and so on.
But, Uber controls the prices.
And that's the catch - if drivers are just independent businesses, Uber setting their
fares could be considered price fixing.
So, which are they?
That depends on who you ask and when, and the answer will shape the future of the industry.
But something doesn't add up, The golden age for drivers came from regulating competition,
the same regulation Uber spends millions of dollars fighting.
Going back to the days of high competition and low prices.
But …why?
If Uber takes a cut from drivers, their interests should be the same.
Regulation, of course, slows its growth, but there's also another reason:
Drivers compete - but Uber makes the same commission regardless of who picks you up.
Uber makes more money with more drivers.
But drivers want the opposite - less competition.
They look like other platform-vendor relationships - Amazon and its sellers, Apple and app developers,
Both of which need their vendors - if YouTube leaves the app store, Apple can't replace
it.
But drivers are drivers - Uber needs them - but no one in particular; they're disposable.
Something like 96% stop driving for the company in their first year.
The two seem economically intertwined, but as long as Uber can find more drivers, they
can keep fares unsustainably competitive with rivals.
The real winners of the Haas Act weren't cabdrivers, who couldn't afford million
dollar medallions, but their owners.
Instead of drivers giving away their first $100 a day to rent a medallion, now it's
25% all day.
For many drivers, it's still a very welcome and useful opportunity, but it isn't quite
the groundbreaking revolution promised.
And it may not last…
On paper, Uber has the perfect business model:
Its huge network of drivers dominate the globe,
but it need not buy a single car or gallon of fuel.
All perk, and no work.
Something thousands of startups desperately try to emulate.
Most of which belong on Flopstarter, with products like the TIMELESS watch, which…
doesn't tell the time.
So how did Uber lose four and a half billion dollars last year?
That's 12 million dollars a day!
Many startups sacrifice profit for growth, But Uber is nine years old.
Facebook made money after two.
The company's biggest problem may not be its legality, or controversy although there's
plenty of that, but basic holes in its business model.
The magic of so many companies is the network effect.
Every new customer makes it that much easier to get another.
You join Facebook because Steve is on it, Kim joins Facebook because you are, and so
on.
For Uber though, this is only regional.
More drivers in New York does nothing for Beijing.
In fact, it failed in all of China.
Every city is a new chicken-and-egg problem:
Drivers need riders before they'll drive, and riders need drivers before they'll ride,
I do not like them, Sam-I-Am.
I do not like green eggs and - oh.
This helps keep prices low, and profits, nonexistent.
It's inescapable and leaves only one path for Uber: self-driving cars.
Remove the driver, remove the money-eating machine.
But it means competing with the technology of Google and the auto-expertise of GM.
Either it'll transform into one of the biggest transportation companies in the world, or,
it'll be the end of the road.
It plans to go public next year.
which'll be fascinating to watch, doubly so if you understand the basics of the stock
market.
A great way to learn is with Skillshare.

Frontiers in Medicine: A Look at CAR T-Cell Therapy - Duration: 1:32.
Chimeric antigen receptor therapy or CAR T-cell therapy is an emerging
immunotherapy designed specifically to target a patient's cancer cells. To date,
the most successful of these therapies CD19 CAR therapy targets B cells in
Leukemia and Lymphoma. A patient begins treatment by undergoing apheresis to
extract normal T-cells. In the laboratory, a modified virus either a lentivirus or
retrovirus transfers targeted genetic information into the T-cells where it is
incorporated into the genome. Newly synthesized CD19 CAR proteins are then
expressed on the T-cells surface. The altered T-cells are expanded in vitro
and delivered to the patient by infusion. In the body, the engineered receptors
bind to specific antigens expressed by the target cancer cells, killing them.
With hundreds of trials currently being conducted worldwide, engineered cell
therapies like CAR T-cell therapy have the potential to transform treatment for
cancer and other diseases.

Games That'll Blow You Away In 2020 And Beyond - Duration: 8:52.
They say that good things come to those who wait.
If that's true, these games are going to be spectacular.
Multi-year development cycles are pretty common in the video game industry, but fans have
been looking forward to the following titles for quite a while.
Well, get ready to wait a little bit longer.
While we've seen glimpses of these games here and there, hinting at the final products,
every single one of them is years away from a proper release.
But don't worry: when these games do arrive, they're going to be great.
It's just going to take a while.
System Shock
There's a good chance that you haven't heard of 1994's System Shock.
Looking Glass Technologies' first-person action adventure is often touted as the first game
to graft role-playing game mechanics onto a first-person shooter.
It proved that action games could tell deep, detailed stories years before Half-Life and
Metal Gear Solid did the same.
It also didn't sell all that well, which is why System Shock isn't as famous as it should
be.
Still, it's a big deal, and the upcoming System Shock remake is due out sometime in 2020.
In 2016, Nightdive Studios raised $1.3 million on Kickstarter to fund a complete remake of
Looking Glass' original game.
Along the way, things changed.
The project's scope grew, and money started running out, forcing the Nightdive team to
take a step back and reevaluate the project.
All that retooling came at a cost, and System Shock will take a little bit longer to arrive
than we all originally anticipated.
That's a bummer, but if System Shock arrives at all, that'll still make it more successful
than two-thirds of the crowdfunded games out there.
The Elder Scrolls VI
When it comes to The Elder Scrolls VI, it's just a question of "when," not "if."
Of course Bethesda Game Studios is going to release a new installment in its flagship
franchise.
And while Bethesda usually uses its E3 showcase to highlight the projects that it's releasing
in the near future, in 2018 executive producer Todd Howard broke with company tradition and
revealed The Elder Scrolls VI early.
Really, really early.
In follow-up interviews, Howard admitted that The Elder Scrolls VI is still in pre-production.
It's not even playable yet, much less nearing release-ready form.
That hasn't stopped fans from scouring The Elder Scrolls VI's sparse teaser trailer for
hints regarding the game's location, of course.
Howard says that production won't truly begin on The Elder Scrolls VI until Fallout 76 and
Starfield are finished, and it's not like a game the size of The Elder Scrolls can be
cranked out in a matter of months.
Howard claims that he knows The Elder Scrolls VI's release date, but he's not telling.
With the game still many years away, that's probably the right call.
Beyond Good & Evil 2
Creator Michel Ancel never envisioned his 2003 action-adventure game Beyond Good & Evil
as a one-and-done deal.
It was supposed to be the first part of a trilogy, kicking off a brand new franchise
that Ubisoft could exploit for years and years to come.
Then, the disappointing sales happened.
Beyond Good & Evil has gone on to become a minor cult classic, and fans have been clamoring
for a follow-up for ages.
Ubisoft promised one back in 2008, and then went silent.
It took almost a decade to learn more, but as of E3 2018, we know the following: Beyond
Good & Evil 2 is a prequel, it features an open world and custom-made characters, and
it will allow players to explore numerous planets.
And judging by the trailers, it's going to be certifiably bonkers.
It also won't be out for a while.
Ubisoft says that it's hoping to get a Beyond Good & Evil 2 beta ready for fans by the end
of 2019.
That means that the full game won't be ready for mass consumption until 2020 at the earliest.
Final Fantasy VII
In 2015, Square Enix blew the minds of gamers everywhere when they announced that they were
remaking Final Fantasy VII.
Fast-forward a few years, and Final Fantasy VII is still nowhere to be seen, but it's
also a big undertaking.
Instead of a flat-out remake, Final Fantasy VII is being rebuilt from the ground up with
a brand new battle system, a deeper storyline, and a much bigger world to explore.
There have also been production problems, and the director Tetsuya Nomura's been busy
getting his other high-profile release, Kingdom Hearts III, ready for public consumption.
None of that has made the long wait any easier, and it doesn't look like relief is coming
any time soon.
Nomura says that development is going faster than expected, especially since Square Enix
decided to move Final Fantasy VII's development in-house, but the game also skipped E3 2018.
If Square Enix had something to show, they probably would have, and we're not expecting
to see Cloud return until at least 2020 - and that's only if we're very, very lucky.
Gridiron Champions
It's not often that a sports game truly blows you away.
The big ones come out every year, and while they change, they don't change that much.
But Gridiron Champions is special - or, at least, it has the potential to be.
Because unlike Madden NFL, Gridiron Champions focuses exclusively on college ball.
There hasn't been a college football game on consoles since 2013, when Electronic Arts
canceled NCAA Football amid lawsuits from former college athletes.
While Gridiron Champions won't feature real-life schools or players, developer IMackulate Visions
Gaming says that it would like to get an official NCAA license at some point, although that'd
arrive after the game's initial release.
Still, Gridiron Champions isn't due until 2020, so anything could change by then.
Death Stranding
Every time Hideo Kojima shows off Death Stranding, we end up with more questions than answers.
So it stars Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, Guillermo del Toro, and Lindsay Wagner?
Cool!
That's a great cast.
Ah, that thing strapped to Reedus' chest is a baby, huh?
But whose baby is it, and why is Reedus carrying it around?
Death Stranding's E3 2018 trailer is more than eight minutes long and even features
some gameplay, but what are we actually going to do in the game?
It's still a mystery.
This is all intentional - by this point, Kojima has even started hiding secret codes in Death
Stranding trailers, so he's obviously having a lot of fun teasing the game's fanbase.
We are eager to play the game, but it sounds like it's a ways away.
When pressed for a release date, Kojima simply says that it'll come out "Before the Tokyo
Olympic Games," which hints at an early 2020 launch.
Starfield
Bethesda revealed its next big single-player role-playing game, Starfield, at E3 2018.
The company didn't share a whole lot of information, but journalists and fans have managed to uncover
a few pieces of information.
In short: Starfield sounds really good.
Starfield is Bethesda Softworks' first new intellectual property in a quarter century,
and while the outer space setting might be new, the game reportedly stays true to the
"publisher's role-playing foundation."
Players will be able to explore an open world with the freedom to make choices as they see
fit.
In other words, if you've played the later Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, you're going
to get more of the same.
"You know, it being us, it's extremely ambitious."
Todd Howard hinted that Starfield may not launch until the next console generation,
which would put it at 2020 at the earliest.
That might feel like a long time, but it's been 25 years since Bethesda created a new
franchise.
You can wait just a little bit longer.
Avatar
James Cameron's Avatar might've made bank at the box office, but it hasn't really had
much of a lasting impact.
That's not stopping Cameron from producing a whole mess of sequels, however, or video
game publisher Ubisoft from getting to work on another Avatar tie-in.
Ubisoft's new Avatar game will run on the company's Snowdrop Engine, which currently
powers The Division, and the game is being presented as a companion to the new films,
not a direct adaptation.
At the very least, Pandora's lush jungles seem like fertile ground for the kind of open-world
adventure games that Ubisoft is known for, and while the company didn't quite nail their
first attempt, there's no harm in trying again.
Just don't expect to get your hands on Avatar any time soon.
Ubisoft says that the game won't launch before April 2020, and that the release date will
probably be tied to one of the Avatar sequels' theatrical releases.
Given that Avatar 2 currently has a December 18, 2020 release date, it seems like a turn
of the decade arrival is optimistic at best.
Star Citizen
This multiplayer space sim from Wing Commander creator Chris Roberts started development
in 2012.
Since then, Cloud Imperium Games has gathered more than $189 million from fans to make the
game through a mixture of crowdfunding campaigns and in-game purchases.
At the time of this video, however, Star Citizen is still in alpha.
"Since game development can take years, we are inviting those who have backed the game
to help provide feedback throughout the process."
To be fair, Star Citizen is wildly ambitious: when it's done, it'll blend space combat with
on-the-ground action, a galaxy full of explorable planets, an entirely separate single-player
campaign, and much, much more.
But all that assumes that Star Citizen comes out at all.
The game has already been in development for far longer than expected, and there's no end
in sight.
If Star Citizen ever arrives, it'll be well into the 2020s, if not later.

Trump: I don't take questions from CNN - Duration: 2:22.
Trump: I don't take questions from CNN
President Trump on Friday lashed out at CNN, declaring that he would not take questions from the network.
CNN correspondent Jim Acosta attempted to interject with a question during a press conference with Trump and British Prime Minister Theresa May.
Roberts went on to ask about relations between the U.S.
and Russia.
At the end of the press conference, Acosta shouted a question to Trump as he walked away from the podium.
Acosta asked if Trump would tell Russian President Vladimir Putin to stay out of U.S.
elections, to which Trump replied "yes.".
CNN has long been a favorite target of Trump's criticism of reporting he doesn't like.
He frequently labels the network "fake news." .
Administration officials have periodically clashed with Acosta.
The president refused to take a question from Acosta during a press conference shortly after he took office, and press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders has ridiculed Acosta during White House press briefings, telling him recently "I know it's hard for you to understand even short sentences, I guess." .
Meanwhile, Trump has given interviews almost exclusively to Fox News in the last year, save for one interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos following his summit with North Korea's Kim Jong Un.

Sure, for decades, critics railed against the saga of Jason Voorhees for being nothing
more than a shallow slaying delivery system, cheap and hacky, yet audiences kept coming
back for more.
Now, the series is so embedded in pop culture that even people who've never seen the series
know the face of Jason Voorhees, but unless they've sat with the whole saga, they only
know part of the story.
Here are seven things even hardcore horror fans may not know about Friday the 13th.
Zero stars
Today, whole generations have grown up knowing Friday the 13th as a classic series, but there
are likely still some critics who would scoff to hear them say it.
In fact, each entry was raked across the coals by critics, with the most well-received movie,
the original, still topping out with a "rotten" ranking by Rotten Tomatoes' reckoning.
Many critics used the series as an excuse to pen famously lacerating reviews.
Gene Siskel found the original so distasteful that he used his write-up to both spoil the
movie and encourage readers to write letters to Paramount in protest of the film.
As the critic wrote,
"I hope I've ruined Friday the 13th, which is the latest film by one of the most despicable
creatures ever to infest the movie business.
[...] If any film should be X-rated on the basis of violence, this is it."
"How does a guy like that go into a store and buy a new hockey mask?
I mean what do you think he looks like underneath the mask?"
"I know exactly what, I'd love to give away the ending of this picture.
I'm debating it."
Like the later slasher series Saw, Friday the 13th never stopped doing very poorly with
critics while working just fine for audiences.
In Friday the 13th's case, critics almost seemed vindictive, wondering how people could
enjoy and financially reward such a formulaic series of violent trash.
You'd think they would've figured out by movie six or seven that the violent trashiness was
the whole point.
Televised tales of terror
Friday the 13th: The Series ran for 72 episodes from 1987 to 1990, with Jason Voorhees and
Camp Crystal Lake showing up a grand total of zero times.
Originally developed under the name The 13th Hour and released in some markets as Friday's
Curse, the series followed two cousins who travel the world with an occultist researcher
to collect magical or cursed relics.
The open-ended story allowed for an episodic series in the vein of Supernatural or The
X-Files, with one overarching plot connecting standalone tales.
It was Friday the 13th in name only, which star John LeMay felt might have worked against
the series in the long run.
"I think a lot of people who were really big fans of the series didn't like the fact that
they stole the name and tried to sneak a fast one past everybody."
While the series is up-and-down in terms of quality, it's associated with the earlier
work of a few great filmmakers, with episodes directed or appearances by the likes of David
Cronenberg, Atom Egoyan, and Sarah Polley.
Not surprisingly, Friday the 13th was soon joined on television by a Nightmare on Elm
Street spin-off series called Freddy's Nightmares.
While that show didn't last as long, it did at least have its famous slasher, Freddy Krueger,
in the cast.
[Evil laughter]
"But the game's gotta end!"
[Gunshot]
"Arrgh!"
The series that wouldn't end
Movie series producer Frank Mancuso, Jr. was so confident that the series was over after
the 3-D third movie that he declared aloud at the movie's wrap party, which celebrated
Jason's demise with "Happy End Day" cake, that he was not going to produce another one.
"When we got done with three, I was like, 'Okay, what I wanna do now is, I really wanna
bring this thing to an effective close.'"
The decision was walked back after Part III opened to the most successful opening weekend
the series had seen yet.
This time, they decided to be decisive with it, giving the fourth entry the subtitle of
The Final Chapter.
This being a 12-film franchise, we all know how that turned out.
"Friday the 13th, 13 hour movie marathon continues right here, only on the new TNN!"
Even at the time, it seemed producers had cold feet about truly ending Jason.
Special effects designer Tom Savini and his team of artists made several sculptures that
showed Jason not just taking a machete to the face, but being fully decapitated.
These effects, of course, went unused, so Jason could live again, just in case.
The series would ultimately end up having two inaccurately-named last chapters: the
fourth movie and the ninth, Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday.
Tommy Jarvis almost replaced Jason
Portrayed by three different actors in three of the franchise's movies, Tommy Jarvis is
arguably the second-most important character in the franchise, not that he makes a lot
of sense.
Twice, the filmmakers ended a sequel with the tease that Tommy was damned to become
the new Jason, possessed or corrupted by his spirit, only for the concept to be walked
back each time.
The fifth movie appeared to end with Tommy on the verge of madness, having been driven
insane by visions of the Crystal Lake slasher.
The setup for a sixth movie with Tommy as the new Jason could not have been clearer
or more explicit, which makes it all the more jarring when the sixth movie begins with him
as a hero once again.
Evidently, his insanity was cured off screen.
Not that we're complaining, of course, in a franchise as shallow as Friday the 13th,
the tragic story arc of a slasher, Tommy is probably best left unexplored.
"I think they could've gone a great number of really cool places with it after that point."
Bring Jason back
When producers brought the series back for part five, they remained curiously determined
to make the end of Jason stick.
[Scary music]
[Grunting and even scarier music]
In Part 5: A New Beginning, the series tried to have it both ways, keeping Jason dead while
bringing in a ruthless, hockey mask-wearing copycat slayer to slay in his stead.
When the slasher is revealed to be a minor character in the movie, audiences scratched
their heads.
"Don't allow the overweight, mentally handicapped son of the local ambulance driver to get hacked
to s--- over a candy bar, because chances are that driver is gonna turn into a Jason
clone and try to take people out."
What's interesting about that?
"It remains one of the least satisfying endings in the history of film as far as I'm concerned."
The failure to effectively switch up the formula was acknowledged at the start of the next
movie's production, with a directive coming down from producer Frank Mancuso, Jr. to bring
Jason back for the sixth movie, no matter what.
"Five was a bad dream, so it was important to me that Jason come back in a very spectacular,
fun way."
A budget slashed to pieces
The most disappointing Friday is easily the eighth one.
Subtitled Jason Takes Manhattan, the 1989 release is well-known for generally not taking
place in Manhattan.
Instead, the majority of the movie takes place on a small boat slowly floating from the confines
of Crystal Lake out to the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, somehow.
This wasn't a creative decision, but rather an inconvenient financial limitation.
Many fantastic, NYC-centric setpieces were planned for the movie, almost none of which
were actually accomplished on the film's small budget.
According to producer Rob Hedden,
"Everything about New York was going to be completely exploited and milked.
There was going to be a tremendous scene on the Brooklyn Bridge, a boxing match in Madison
Square Garden, Jason would go through department stores, Broadway plays.
He'd even crawl onto the top of the Statue of Liberty and dive off."
"Production reality set in, and it was like, okay, instead of, you know, uh, 75 percent
of the movie taking place in New York, we'll do 50 percent.
And then it was, well we can't really do 50, either."
To save money on location shooting, the production shot most of the scarce Manhattan material
in the not-quite-lookalike city of Vancouver.
"So there was a joke running around, it was 'Jason Takes Vancouver,' instead of 'Jason
Takes Manhattan.'"
A long-awaited duel
In 2003, the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th series met in a long-awaited collision:
Freddy vs. Jason.
While the movie might strike the uninitiated as a cynical way to wring one last payday
out of both franchises after they ran out of gas, the first attempt to make it actually
took place in 1987, when the Elm Street series was ascendant and Friday was just beginning
to see its box office fortunes decline.
At the time, both properties were owned by different studios, meaning any crossover would
involve tricky negotiations that proved difficult to navigate.
Paramount owned Friday while New Line Cinema owned Nightmare, and both parties wanted the
upper hand.
As a result, progress on putting the movie together was full of starts and stops, not
coming together until after New Line became the owner of both properties in 1989.
With the franchises united under New Line, the crossover was teased at the end of 1993's
Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, with Freddy's fist bursting from beneath the earth
to drag Jason's mask underground.
Even so, ten years would pass and two more movies, Jason X and Wes Craven's New Nightmare,
would come and go before the fight flick finally came together.
Fortunately, after all that buildup, they ended up sticking the landing, not only is
Freddy vs. Jason a pretty fun watch, it's also the highest-grossing movie in either
series by far.
Teamwork, that's how you go out on top.
Will it ever happen again?
Well…
"There's room for more!"

Never Ignore Depression, Measures To Prevent Depression - Duration: 3:10.
Never Ignore Depression
Studies show that depression is underreported.
People aren't getting the help they need, sometimes because they don't know the warning
signs or where to turn, or are embarrassed because of the stigma that can still surround
mental health issues.
But the numbers are too great to ignore.
Up to 26 percent of U.S. women and up to 12 percent of men will experience major depression
at some point in their lives.
In any given year, that's 16 million American adults.
As many as one in 33 children and one in eight teens also struggle with depression -- that's
9 percent of kids aged 12 to 17 in any given year.
And new research suggests these numbers may be even higher.
It's important to recognize signs of depression in yourself or a loved one, including a child,
and to get help from a doctor.
Signs of depression: • Persistent sadness, anxiety or an "empty"
feeling • Hopelessness, guilt, worthlessness, helplessness
• Loss of interest in hobbies and favorite activities
• A lack of energy and persistent fatigue • Difficulty concentrating, remembering,
making decisions • Difficulty sleeping, early morning awakening
or oversleeping • Appetite and/or weight changes
• Restlessness or irritability • Physical symptoms including pain
• Thoughts of death or contemplating suicide Take immediate action if you or a loved one
is having suicidal thoughts.
If you're thinking of harming yourself or attempting suicide:
• Call 911 or go to the nearest hospital emergency room.
• Call the toll-free 24-hour National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255.
• Ask a family member or friend to help you make these calls or take you to the hospital.
The stigma around depression exists, in part, because it's poorly understood.
However, one study found that once people are educated about it -- that it's an illness
and not something those affected bring on themselves -- they are more likely to change
their thinking and accept that depression can and should be treated.
Family members of someone going through depression should become educated about the disease because
they make up an important part of the depressed person's support network and can help prevent
a recurrence.

Top 10 Things YOU Didn't Know About White Castle!!! - Duration: 13:01.
Amongst all the change in the fast food industry, one company that has essentially kept the
same menu for decades (with some options) is White Castle.
A fast-food restaurant that is so good at what they do that it spawned a movie franchise.
We wanted to delve into the history of the restaurant behind 'Harold and Kumar Go to
White Castle'.
So strap in, grab some antacids and get ready to learn about everyone's favorite place to
go after a night of hard partying.
White Castle and the Original 'Super Size Me'
In 2004, documentary maker Morgan Spurlock burst onto the scene by filming a "documentary"
that revolved around him eating nothing but McDonald's for a month straight.
There has never been a documentary that has been as destructive and transformative as
'Super Size Me', as it was very popular and supposedly showed how unhealthy McDonald's
food can be - but there's a lot of controversy over how much of the content Spurlock faked.
Either way, McDonald's responded by adding healthy options to their menu and also by
stating that their food isn't meant to be eaten for every meal.
Before Spurlock, though, there was a University of Minnesota medical student who was tasked
with eating nothing but White Castle burgers for every meal for not just one month, but
for nearly three months straight.
Back when hamburgers were invented, over 100 years ago, arguably by the founder of White
Castle, there were people who were adamantly against hamburgers for whatever reason and
who stated that hamburgers were not only unhealthy (which is true) but that they were essentially
poison.
So the powers that be at White Castle commissioned that study to prove that the burgers weren't
toxic, basically, and surprisingly the med student not only survived his three months
of tiny burgers, but felt fine afterwards as well (but considering this was the days
before antibiotics, the word "Fine" is relative, of course).

Working for White Castle Used to Be a GREAT Gig
If there's any type of job these days, and really for the past few decades, that is looked
down upon it's a fast food gig.
There are numerous statements and stereotypes that exist about working for a fast food restaurant
like calling it a "McJob" or in someone saying that at least they're not "flipping burgers"
for a living.
While that's not really true these days as most fast food restaurants have attempted
to make working for them better by offering better wages, better benefits and/or the opportunity
for advancement, the reality is, as recent movements have shown, working for a fast food
restaurant is still not the best gig in the world.
Back in the day, though, that wasn't true as White Castle used to pay their employees
between $18 to $30 a week, which was a lot a century ago.
Beyond that, White Castle offered paid benefits that weren't a regular thing in those pre-union
days like paid sick leaves, pension plans (remember those?) and upward mobility by offering
some opportunities for promotion.
That's all thanks to the little 5-cent burgers they used to sell by the sack full.
The White Castle Slider Hasn't Changed in 100 Years
White Castle is the oldest fast-food joint in the game.
As you'll see in this video, the founder of White Castle created the world's first fast-food
hamburger and its bun.
He started selling them for five cents a pop, often selling sacks full of his burgers to
orphans who would sell them around the corner to rich people in fancy cars who were too
lazy to get out.
Out of all burgers from fast food joints, the White Castle burger, known as a slider,
a White Castle or a gut bomb, is the most identifiable to people across the world mostly
due to it's size.
As it turns out, that's how they made the burger a century ago, with the same basic
recipe.
So, while things are changing quicker and quicker these days thanks to technology and
how it exponentially improves upon itself, you can rest assured that there's one constant
in the world and that constant is a small, delicious burger that you can still buy in
bulk and that rich people are still ashamed to admit they love.
White Castle is about more than Burgers
White Castle as a business seems pretty cut and dry.
It's a business that owns restaurants that used to be burger stands that makes arguably
the best burger known to man.
Anyone that has seen the movie "The Founder" about the founding of McDonald's might know
that there's a lot more to owning a fast-food empire than just the food or even the location
the food is made in, as business is cut-throat and there are a lot of different opportunities
for people to make money on side hustles.
White Castle is no different, as when it was founded the original CEO wanted White Castle
locations to be small, cheap and easy to build.
To keep all of that in-house White Castle created a company to make cheap porcelain-and-steel
structures so they could essentially make money off of building their own buildings.
They also bought the company that was supplying their employees with paper hats in 1932, which
ended up being a goldmine in and of itself as they were creating over fifty million paper
hats for the entire fast food industry by the 1960's.
White Castle Provided Vehicles During WWII
Part of the subsidiaries that we've mentioned was a company named Porcelain Steel Buildings
that provided, you guessed it, porcelain and steel buildings for the construction of White
Castle locations.
During World War II a lot of the United States' economy was based on the war effort, and with
a lot of other countries struggling to recover from the war, this created the opportunity
for the United States to become the largest economy in the world.
White Castle's Porcelain Steel Buildings was no exception as it went from fabricating cheap
facades for White Castle locations to building amphibious vehicles for the war effort, which
is surprising because when it comes to what you'd expect to float the last two things
that come to mind are porcelain and steel.
After the war, PSB was left with a surplus of supplies for those vehicles, so they ended
up creating another company that created equipment for lawn spreading.
Today, PSB still works with Scott's, one of the largest lawn care companies in the world.
So the next time you see a nice lawn remember that you have World War II and White Castle
to thank for that.
Reality is weird.
The Original White Castle Restaurant Designs
The original and old school White Castle locations were actually set up to look like actual castles.
The irony of it is that the location that the White Castle restaurants were based on
wasn't actually a castle at all but rather a church.
After the Great Fire of 1871 one of the few things that were still standing was the Chicago
Water Tower.
The Gothic design actually looks like a castle so you can't fault them for using it as inspiration
and to be honest regardless of what it looked like or what it was based on it's actually
a lot cooler than the fast-food joints we get these days that are typically stuck in
or near a failing strip mall.
Those box designed restaurants may be cheaper and larger, but they're still not as cool
as those few remaining White Castle locations and that's most likely why people refer to
the past as the good old days.
These days there are still a few original White Castle buildings around, although those
are typically not actually restaurants anymore.
For example, one of the original locations in Minneapolis still looks like it did decades
ago although there's an insurance agency inside as opposed to a restaurant.
What the White Castle Name Means
White Castle founder Walt Anderson was single-handedly responsible for the invention of the modern
fast-food restaurant, so it's safe to say that he's the king of both hamburgers and
fast food spots.
However, the name White Castle wasn't something that alluded to Anderson's royalty in the
meat patty industry.
When he invented the fastfood hamburger in 1916, the world was full of misinformed people
and because of that and the fact that hamburgers were a new kind of food, people didn't know
what to think...
Or at least some people.
Other people like Upton Sinclair and Frederick J. Schlink were adamant that hamburgers were
basically poisonous.
In their books The Jungle and Eat, Drink and Be Wary, respectively, Sinclair and Schlink
"exposed" hamburger meat as extremely unsafe to the point that it was essentially poison.
While it's true that uncooked hamburger meat will get you sick, that was just reactionary
nonsense that could've put Anderson out of business.
With that in mind, Anderson decided to combine two words that together would convey both
"purity and solidity", a pristine image, and those words were white and castle.
White Castle Sliders Were Instantly Popular
White Castle founder Walt Anderson created the modern concept of fast-food and while
it's said that the restaurant business is the most difficult to break into and sustain,
Walt had no problems when he introduced hamburgers to the world through his hamburger stands
in 1916.
In the book 'Selling 'Em by the Sack' by David G. Hogan, it was stated that there was a regular
contingent of young orphaned boys who routinely would buy an entire sack of the 5-cent burgers
that Walt Anderson was cooking up.
Anderson noticed this and considering that the young boys didn't have money, ever, he
decided to follow them one day after they bought their second sack of burgers.
Around the corner the boys were delivering the burgers to a hand that came out of the
window of a limo.
Meaning that regardless of socio-economic status or age, everyone loves White Castle,
even if they think they're too good to get out of their car to get them.
As anyone who has ordered a Crave case will attest, it's really not much different these
days as you typically end up waiting for a good half-an-hour while those delicious little
jam jam's are being cooked.
The only thing missing is the orphans.
Thankfully.
The White Castle Founder Created the Modern Fast Food Joint
The founder of White Castle, Walt Anderson, was essentially both a visionary and a genius.
Anderson took out an $80 loan after his first hamburger stand, which opened in 1916, became
an instant sensation.
He ended up receiving that loan from a local real estate broker named W.E.
Ingram (who went by Billy) who ended up as the first CEO of White Castle.
By 1921 they established a chain of burger stands with 5-cent burgers, and those stands
were known for being as efficient as they were small.
While McDonald's Ray Kroc is widely credited for that, if you've seen the movie 'The Founder',
you'll know that he stole most of what he is credited for
and the fast food concept is no exception because either way you slice it, that's the
concept that eventually took off and became what we know as the fast food restaurant today
and we all have Walt Anderson to thank.
The White Castle's Founder Created the Modern Hamburger
Walt Anderson was originally a short-order cook from Wichita, Kansas.
Before Walt there really wasn't a hamburger, at least how we know it, and the story behind
how he became the king of burgers is too good to be true.
One day Anderson was attempting to make some meatballs and he was having trouble with the
fact that his meatballs were sticking to the griddle whenever he attempted to pick them
up.
In his frustration he smashed one of the meatballs with his spatula, flattening it.
When he saw the flattened patty he had an epiphany - but rather than putting the patty
between bread, like some other people had come up with around that time, he invented
the perfect bun - and that's how the modern hamburger was born.
Like many inventions, hamburgers were created by accident and if Walt had better anger control
problems perhaps we wouldn't have any hamburger spots.
God bless that man's temper.

two different visors the one on the left is my favorite WC Hayes lights Rico
lights on the crossing gate and a WC Hayes mechanical Bell up top
so let's look again at these exposed on wires over here
okay
I would assume that at one point well actually we yeah that would be the
really case for this one right over there
because the one for the other crossing is on your side of that one so yeah I
would assume that at one point there was probably another spur over here
somewhere this it looks like there's too much of a gap there
alright you guys
thank you for viewing please subscribe or like take care over and out
