With competitive gaming on the rise and millions in prize money up for grabs around the world,
what's the real difference between regular athletes and e-Athletes?
Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're taking a look
at the training, competitions, and lifestyle of E-athletes and regular athletes to see
just how similar or not the two are.
Training is a major part of any competitive endeavor- while you can be blessed with natural
talent, that talent must be honed to perfection and your body and mind prepared for maximum
efficiency.
Regular athletes are no strangers to tough and intense training regimens.
NFL players typically spend 45 minutes to an hour with weightlifting, another hour in
aerobic exercise, and then three and a half to four hours of actual practice on the field
during the off season.
As a new season approaches, the time spent physically practicing on the field is cut
dramatically in order to reduce the risk of injury during practice, but players still
spend hours going over no-contact drills and pouring over video tape of their past games
to study flaws in their technique, or tapes of their opponent's games to study flaws in
their opponent's technique.
NBA players follow a similar training schedule, with one and a half to up to three hours of
court practice followed by an hour and a half to two hours of physical exercise.
On average, an NBA or NFL player will train for about 6-8 hours a day, 4-5 days a week.
How does this compare to e-athletes?
Robert Morris University Illinois was the first university to create a varsity eSport's
team in America.
Currently they field teams that play League of Legends, Hearthstone, Counter Strike: Global
Offensive, Heroes of the Storm, and Smash Brothers in national and international tournaments
around the world.
Their players follow a strict training regimen that includes 7 hours of play time every single
week day from 2 to 9pm.
Given the pressures of competitive gaming, players will often play for hours during their
weekends as well, sometimes getting no breaks in their training for weeks at a time.
For professional players out of school the training can be even more intense.
OpTic Gaming, one of the world's best esports teams based out of the Chicago area, puts
its players through a brutal and strenuous regimen that includes both actual play time
and social media outreach- critical to the success of any e-athlete.
Players will often wake up at 10 am and begin playing for enough hours to record one or
two good matches to upload to their youtube channels.
After editing and uploading, players then engage their live stream and begin playing
up to 12 hours a day in front of live audiences, putting even more pressure on what's supposed
to be just practice.
Not only do e-athletes dedicate more of their life to their sport, but their training and
competitions are even more physically demanding than most professional athletes.
In 2016 a study by the German Sports University found that e-athletes produce cortisol- a
stress hormone- in their bodies equivalent to a race car driver, and they achieved heart
rates as high as 160 to 180 beats a minute, equivalent to running a marathon.
According to the German study this is because e-athletes are not only executing extremely
rapid eye, hand and arm movements, but engaging multiple portions of their brain simultaneously
and conducting high level critical thinking as they formulate tactics or respond to their
opponent's moves.
They are engaging their brains in ways that very few physical sports can compare to.
While we're all familiar with the World Cup, the Superbowl, and the Olympics- how
do e-sport competitions compare to traditional sports?
In 2017 more than 111 million people watched the Super Bowl, one of the biggest sporting
events on television.
However, as impressive a figure as that may be, technology consulting firm Activate estimates
that by 2020 70 million people will watch an esports final- more than the viewership
for any American sports final except the NFL.
Esports will also constitute 3 billion hours of air time, or 10% of all sports viewing.
Yet these trends are only poised to continue growing, as today men ages 18-25 watch 1.95
hours of eSports versus only 1.67 hours of regular sports a day.
In another ten to twenty years most media experts predict that eSports will grow to
trump regular sports, eventually toppling even the Super Bowl itself.
What about money and lifestyle?
We're all used to seeing professional athletes flashing their hard-earned wealth and buying
expensive and ridiculously impractical things with all that money, so how do e-athletes
compare?
While e-athletes are starting to receive major sponsorship attention, the financial gap between
an e-athlete and a conventional athlete is still pretty wide.
Currently the NBA has an average salary of 6.2 million dollars- highest of all American
sports- with its top earner LeBron James earning $31 million for the 2016-2017 season.
The NFL by comparison has one of the lowest average salaries of conventional sports aside
from soccer, with $2.1 million average salary, and Drew Brees earning $31.25 million in 2016.
For e-Athletes a standard salary can be quite rare, with only the top competitive teams
in the world actually paying their players a fixed salary- North American based team
Ember pays its players between $57,500 and $65,000 a year, with up to $27,000 in performance
and signing bonuses.
Riot Games- the developers of League of Legends, one of the most popular eSports games in the
world- pays players in its Championship Series a base salary of roughly $12,500 for three
month's worth of work.
Instead of salary though, most professional e-Athletes have costs of living covered by
their teams, and earn money off monetized YouTube channels and rarely, sponsorship deals
from vendors.
The bulk of an e-Athlete's income comes from cash prices earned in competitions, with some
of the top prices fetching anywhere between 3 to 9 million dollars in prize money.
Unlike traditional athletes however e-Athletes must split this money between each member
of their team, typically lowering their own take to well under a million dollars.
In the end it turns out that professional e-Athletes can work harder and tax their bodies
and mind more than nearly any conventional athlete, yet earn less.
With a professional lifespan of one to two years they can expect to last even less than
an NFL player who typically lasts 3.1 years- all while paying a much higher price in time
invested and physical/mental toll taken on their body... and expecting to go home far
poorer than any conventional athlete with few if any post-career sponsorship deals or
career paths to take other than the occasional coaching gig.
Yet due to their trans-cultural nature, eSports is set to become an even bigger phenomenon
than any conventional sport, and arguably it has already surpassed many other physical
sports in popularity and viewership.
With trends continuing as they are and eSports growing in popularity it may be time to redefine
what and who we consider an athlete, and perhaps start treating them- and paying them- as such.

What is Superficial Fascia and What Does it Do? | FACEROBICS® Face Exercise Program - Duration: 5:36.
hello everybody today I've got a subject for you that is not talked about very
often it's about the superficial fascia that surrounds the muscles on our face
now fascia is a sheath or a coating or a sac that goes around all of our muscles
that encompasses all of our muscles and fascia also separates the muscles from
one to the other if you look at a chicken breast for instance sometimes
you might get a chicken breast and when you go to cut it up there's that film
that's over at the top of it a very thin white film that is fascia and fascia is
like the network that keeps all of our organs together in our body there's
other fascia there's two other types of fascia
but today we're only interested in superficial fascia now that type of
fascia is all over our chest it's around all of our neck it's at all over our
head and all over our face now the thing is is that when you are doing facial
exercises you really need to work on releasing the fascia before you do the
exercises because the fascia is taut it becomes taut and and sort of stretches a
bit it's something that has collagen other peptides and all sorts of goodies
that feed those muscles as well but when you do your facial exercises you do need
to release the fascia now next week I'm going to be putting up a video on how to
release the fascia on your face neck and head and I'm hoping that when you learn
how to do this that you will add this to your face exercise routine every time
that you do facial exercises and the reason why I'd like you to add it is
because it strengthens the muscles much faster and you've got better chance of
building those muscles also I wanted to talk to you about the fascia and
over-exercising because if you do actually over exercise
you're faced with exercises if you're rubbing constantly or if you're doing
exercises and the fascia is weak or weakened this is where you start to run
into trouble with facial exercises so what we want to do is build up a strong
fascia once you start to work with the fascia
then you will find that your exercises will go to another level because it's so
much easier to do them once you release the fascia it's so much easier I've just
been doing it myself for a while now and I've wanted to do it and then bring it
to you guys when I feel that it's it's actually working so I really hope that
you're able to do this now here is a picture of what fascia looks like over
the muscle and that's what fascia is it is the sack that holds in the muscle and
it defines each muscle in our body now I've going over to couple of times
but I want to explain to you what it is it also holds collagen and other
peptides and it helps hold all of our muscles in our body together the skin
holds everything in the fascia holds in all of the muscles and keeps it all
tight and keeps the network all nice and tight inside of our body so you can
imagine that if you do over exercise if you do damage the fascia you can then
see how that starts to damage the muscle and fatigue the muscle and also if you
break that set fascia sack then you will be getting into all sorts of trouble if
the fascia is already weakened before you start facial exercises ever but you
know let's say you've never done facial exercises and you decide to start them
if the fascia is already weakened you will run into trouble if you do not
release that fascia and work with that fascia before you start the exercises
and I would actually advise everybody who hasn't done facial exercise before
to actually release the fascia and do that for a month or two months or six
weeks even just to start releasing the fascia and making it a little a little
bit more stretchy and elastic and a little bit more pliable to the muscle
that would be my advice because what then will happen is that it'll help the
muscle grow a faster because the fascia is more stretchy it's a very very
important part of the facial exercises so if you've got any questions below
please do ask also there is a link in the description blocks bos box
that describes what fascia is it's a Wikipedia link and go ahead and click it
and have a read about what it all is so important you know because everybody
thinks facial exercises, you can just get into it let's do it let's
BAM! let's do it no! and more and more and more and more depths that I go into
it the more excited I get as to how we can actually do facial exercises, but do
them really effectively do go and click that link because I think you'll be
quite interested now next week in the next video next week I am going to be
showing you how to do a fashion release message and as I said I want you to do
these every time before you do your facial exercises and you'll be you'll be
contacting me you'll be saying in the comments over all the videos how amazing
it's changed your facial exercises I hope that's something really interesting
for you today that you have learned about and will learn more about
please do remember to subscribe go ahead and click the bell when you click that
bell it notifies YouTube to notify you when I've uploaded a video all right
well you have a lovely day wherever you are in the world and I'll see you next

I HAVE SLEEP PARALYSIS [REAL-LIFE ENGLISH #13] - Duration: 8:36.
My name is Rodger Koller
and this video is going to be very quick
This is part of a series of videos named:
"Real-Life English" in which I just start talking
at random about any topic
without having written any script beforehand
Well, again, it's exactly...Let me see here
It's 2:45 a.m. It's exactly 2:45 a.m.
adn I can't sleep
again
so again, I've decided to come outside
and walk in the park here
There's this nice park here, next to my house
and for some strange reason it is open 24/7
This park never closes. So, I couldn't sleep and
I couldn't even stay in my bedroom because I was trying to sleep
and then I felt bad about it, so
I decided to come outside to walk a little bit
I've just noticed that
the video is going to get too dark
and shaky
because it's too dark here
So, when I get home and I edit the video
I'm going to put something else for you to see
like a gameplay or something like that
I'm not going to work in the morning, so
I want to use some energy out here...
Maybe I'll feel sleepy when I get home
I know, my girlfriend is going to hate it when she sees this video
she doesn't like me to come outside after midnight
Yeah, she thinks I'm a Gremlin
I can anticipate that after seeing this video
She is going to call me and
She'll say something like:
"Rodger, you can't sleep because instead of closing your eyes...
...and trying to sleep, you keep working...
...and when you're not working, you're making videos and stuff like that...
...You should just close your eyes and try to sleep"
and she'll also say something like:
"It's not easy and simple...
"you just need to turn out the light and turn off all your devices...
and in the dark, close your eyes and do that breathing technique that I've taught you"
Yeah, she's taught me a breathing technique
My sweet girlfriend has taught me a very pleasant breathing technique
and this technique really helps me a lot
when I'm stressed out, I do this technique that she has taught me
and I feel much better. This is true.
However, it doesn't necessarily help me when I can't sleep
I tried to do what she had told me to do
I remained with my eyes closed from midnight up to 2 A.M.
I must say that even without being able to sleep, I feel much better
just by the fact that my eyes were closed, I feel rested
but I am still tired at the same time. It's really weird
I've got to admit that I've got some sleeping disorders
LOOK
The last time I slept was from Sunday to Monday
Now it is 2:50 a.m. on a Wednesday
and I'm here, walking in the park
so this is the third entire day in a row
that I haven't slept
my eyes are red
but it's funny because when I get this long without sleeping, I start seeing things
Like...I close my eyes and I see butterflies and rainbows
Stop it! Get some help!
Perhaps I'm getting crazy
I see other things as well, but maybe I'll make another video to tell you what I see
I'm not ready to talk about these things yet, otherwise you'll actually think I'm insane
and I'm not insane
yet
Today I want to talk to you about something that has been part of my life since I was a little boy
a specific thing related to my sleeping disorders
as you may have noticed, I have insomnia
"oh! really?"
but that's not the main problem. That's not my main problem
I also have sleep paralysis
I'm not going to tell you the specific explanation of what it is because
it's too complicated. I don't understand what that is
but in a nutshell. Sleep Paralysis is when a person suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night
but this person can't move anything
So, in my situation... I'm sleeping
then in the middle of the night I open my eyes. However, I can't move my body
I can only move my eyes
It's crazy. So, I'm sleeping...I wake up
and I can only move my eyes
I can't move my hands, I can't move my body whatsoever
I can't speak but I can make some sounds
like...I can use my vocal chords
but I can't move my lips in order to make words
and sometimes it takes me from 5 minutes to three hours
like that
and then Ican finally move my body, but there have been times
especially when I was younger
that I remember being at this state for around 3 hours
when I was a kid I used to be afraid of that
I used to get really scared every time it happened to me
but it was so usual that I started learning some techinique in order to
to spend my time while I was paralysed
while I'm awake, with my eyes open but paralysed
my brain is half way in what I call "dream land"
so I can see things that can only be from my dreams
right there in my bedroom
or flying around above my bed...People...
animals....colours
and other strange things
weird stuff
so I've learnt how to control these things
I can control these images, these crazy things
while I am at that state as I wait for this paralysis to pass
Nevertheless
The last five times that it happened to me
I didn't see anything in my bedroom with me
I was alone
and my bedroom was empty
I've read some things about sleep paralysis and it's nothing really serious
It's not going to hurt me
it's just some thing that happens to some people
If it has ever happened to you
I recommend that you keep calm
and wait, the more you fight against that
the longer you will be in this situation, so
So, when it happens to me now, I just remain calm
and in two or three minutes I'm back to normal
and about my insomnia
if you have any suggestions on what I should do
please leave a comment in the comment section
and give me your advice
I'll really appreciate that
Yes, I think i should go back home
I don't even know why I came out here to the park
it doesn't make sense
it's really cold tonight and
so, I'll just walk back to my house now
Thank you for listening to me. You're my true friends. I am very happy to have you because every time
I feel that I need to talk to somebody, I know that I can just
turn my camera on and start talking
I can turn my voice recorder on and I can start talking
and I know that some people will listen to me and
These people will give me advice and stuff
So, thank you very much for being my friends

as a friend
So, thank you for everything and I'll see you next class

peptides and it helps hold all of our muscles in our body together the skin
holds everything in the fascia holds in all of the muscles and keeps it all
tight and keeps the network all nice and tight inside of our body so you can
imagine that if you do over exercise if you do damage the fascia you can then
see how that starts to damage the muscle and fatigue the muscle and also if you
break that set fascia sack then you will be getting into all sorts of trouble if
the fascia is already weakened before you start facial exercises ever but you
know let's say you've never done facial exercises and you decide to start them
if the fascia is already weakened you will run into trouble if you do not
release that fascia and work with that fascia before you start the exercises
and I would actually advise everybody who hasn't done facial exercise before
to actually release the fascia and do that for a month or two months or six
weeks even just to start releasing the fascia and making it a little a little
bit more stretchy and elastic and a little bit more pliable to the muscle
that would be my advice because what then will happen is that it'll help the
muscle grow a faster because the fascia is more stretchy it's a very very
important part of the facial exercises so if you've got any questions below
please do ask also there is a link in the description blocks bos box
that describes what fascia is it's a Wikipedia link and go ahead and click it
and have a read about what it all is so important you know because everybody
thinks facial exercises, you can just get into it let's do it let's
BAM! let's do it no! and more and more and more and more depths that I go into

them really effectively do go and click that link because I think you'll be

All day all day...
I don't know why
I don't know how
I thought I loved you but I'm not sure now
I've seen you look at strangers too many times
A love you want is of a different kind
Remember when we felt the sun
A love like paradise how hot it burned
A threat of distant thunder, the sky was red
And when you walked you always turned every head
All day all day
Watch them all fall down
All day all day
Domino dancing
All day all day
Watch them all fall down
All day all day
Domino dancing
I thought that when we fought I was to blame
But now I know you play a different game
I watch you dance with danger still wanting more
Add another number to the score
All day all day
Watch them all fall down
All day all day
Domino dancing
All day all day
Watch them all fall down
All day all day

When you look around you wonder
Do you play to win
or are you just a bad loser?

I hear the thunder crashing, the sky is dark
And now a storm is breaking within my heart

砂塵の彼方へ... (Saijin no Kanata e...) Revo & Yuki Kajiura Dream Port English Subtitles - Duration: 7:23.
"Beyond the dust storm, an Extended Horizon"
"Within each wave, an everlasting melody..."
Even though it's always traveling season here, the present is taken into the past
The singing voices from that day overlap and resound even now...
What are we waiting for, if the wounds inflicted upon us don't heal?
Those Good Times for Blend; I want to believe they'll come back someday...
Within this sea of sand, we yearn for water, even when we strike some, our nails break digging at the well's bottom
Your name is a Fantasy [Dream],
Like a fleeting Melody
Caressing my lips before escaping into nothingness...
Once I surpass the final dune, My heart beats to the Rhythm of a relentless melody
Even if my prayers are lost beneath the sand, I'll still reach my hand out,
So please, Fly Me...
"Dream Port..."
Where are we going, If we'll never leave behind any footprints?
Goodbye Dear Friend; I want to believe that we'll meet again...
When the sandy sea finally goes dark, many will cry out for light
Your name is a Fantasy [Dream],
Like a far-off Melody
Igniting a song upon my lips before it leaves into nothingness...
The Harmony of this trembling night freezes my solitary voice
If its cry can reach the moon, I shall dedicate myself to this,
So please, Fly Me...
"Fly me and take me to the forgotten realm"
"Take me there..."
"Fly Me..."
"Dream Port..." "Fly Me..."
Every sound shall one day disappear, and be lost beneath the cover of silence
But, even though we may be trembling, we shall sing a Song of Love...
Beyond the roaring winds, Will our hearts ever reach that far-off riverbank?
That distant and eternal composition tells us to continue forward...
Beyond the infinite sands, Will we ever meet again by the far-off riverbank?
The singing voices from that day overlap and resound within my heart
Beyond the Dust Storm...

How Do E-Athletes Compare To Real Athletes? - Duration: 7:11.
With competitive gaming on the rise and millions in prize money up for grabs around the world,
what's the real difference between regular athletes and e-Athletes?
Hello and welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're taking a look
at the training, competitions, and lifestyle of E-athletes and regular athletes to see
just how similar or not the two are.
Training is a major part of any competitive endeavor- while you can be blessed with natural
talent, that talent must be honed to perfection and your body and mind prepared for maximum
efficiency.
Regular athletes are no strangers to tough and intense training regimens.
NFL players typically spend 45 minutes to an hour with weightlifting, another hour in
aerobic exercise, and then three and a half to four hours of actual practice on the field
during the off season.
As a new season approaches, the time spent physically practicing on the field is cut
dramatically in order to reduce the risk of injury during practice, but players still
spend hours going over no-contact drills and pouring over video tape of their past games
to study flaws in their technique, or tapes of their opponent's games to study flaws in
their opponent's technique.
NBA players follow a similar training schedule, with one and a half to up to three hours of
court practice followed by an hour and a half to two hours of physical exercise.
On average, an NBA or NFL player will train for about 6-8 hours a day, 4-5 days a week.
How does this compare to e-athletes?
Robert Morris University Illinois was the first university to create a varsity eSport's
team in America.
Currently they field teams that play League of Legends, Hearthstone, Counter Strike: Global
Offensive, Heroes of the Storm, and Smash Brothers in national and international tournaments
around the world.
Their players follow a strict training regimen that includes 7 hours of play time every single
week day from 2 to 9pm.
Given the pressures of competitive gaming, players will often play for hours during their
weekends as well, sometimes getting no breaks in their training for weeks at a time.
For professional players out of school the training can be even more intense.
OpTic Gaming, one of the world's best esports teams based out of the Chicago area, puts
its players through a brutal and strenuous regimen that includes both actual play time
and social media outreach- critical to the success of any e-athlete.
Players will often wake up at 10 am and begin playing for enough hours to record one or
two good matches to upload to their youtube channels.
After editing and uploading, players then engage their live stream and begin playing
up to 12 hours a day in front of live audiences, putting even more pressure on what's supposed
to be just practice.
Not only do e-athletes dedicate more of their life to their sport, but their training and
competitions are even more physically demanding than most professional athletes.
In 2016 a study by the German Sports University found that e-athletes produce cortisol- a
stress hormone- in their bodies equivalent to a race car driver, and they achieved heart
rates as high as 160 to 180 beats a minute, equivalent to running a marathon.
According to the German study this is because e-athletes are not only executing extremely
rapid eye, hand and arm movements, but engaging multiple portions of their brain simultaneously
and conducting high level critical thinking as they formulate tactics or respond to their
opponent's moves.
They are engaging their brains in ways that very few physical sports can compare to.
While we're all familiar with the World Cup, the Superbowl, and the Olympics- how
do e-sport competitions compare to traditional sports?
In 2017 more than 111 million people watched the Super Bowl, one of the biggest sporting
events on television.
However, as impressive a figure as that may be, technology consulting firm Activate estimates
that by 2020 70 million people will watch an esports final- more than the viewership
for any American sports final except the NFL.
Esports will also constitute 3 billion hours of air time, or 10% of all sports viewing.
Yet these trends are only poised to continue growing, as today men ages 18-25 watch 1.95
hours of eSports versus only 1.67 hours of regular sports a day.
In another ten to twenty years most media experts predict that eSports will grow to
trump regular sports, eventually toppling even the Super Bowl itself.
What about money and lifestyle?
We're all used to seeing professional athletes flashing their hard-earned wealth and buying
expensive and ridiculously impractical things with all that money, so how do e-athletes
compare?
While e-athletes are starting to receive major sponsorship attention, the financial gap between
an e-athlete and a conventional athlete is still pretty wide.
Currently the NBA has an average salary of 6.2 million dollars- highest of all American
sports- with its top earner LeBron James earning $31 million for the 2016-2017 season.
The NFL by comparison has one of the lowest average salaries of conventional sports aside
from soccer, with $2.1 million average salary, and Drew Brees earning $31.25 million in 2016.
For e-Athletes a standard salary can be quite rare, with only the top competitive teams
in the world actually paying their players a fixed salary- North American based team
Ember pays its players between $57,500 and $65,000 a year, with up to $27,000 in performance
and signing bonuses.
Riot Games- the developers of League of Legends, one of the most popular eSports games in the
world- pays players in its Championship Series a base salary of roughly $12,500 for three
month's worth of work.
Instead of salary though, most professional e-Athletes have costs of living covered by
their teams, and earn money off monetized YouTube channels and rarely, sponsorship deals
from vendors.
The bulk of an e-Athlete's income comes from cash prices earned in competitions, with some
of the top prices fetching anywhere between 3 to 9 million dollars in prize money.
Unlike traditional athletes however e-Athletes must split this money between each member
of their team, typically lowering their own take to well under a million dollars.
In the end it turns out that professional e-Athletes can work harder and tax their bodies
and mind more than nearly any conventional athlete, yet earn less.
With a professional lifespan of one to two years they can expect to last even less than
an NFL player who typically lasts 3.1 years- all while paying a much higher price in time
invested and physical/mental toll taken on their body... and expecting to go home far
poorer than any conventional athlete with few if any post-career sponsorship deals or
career paths to take other than the occasional coaching gig.
Yet due to their trans-cultural nature, eSports is set to become an even bigger phenomenon
than any conventional sport, and arguably it has already surpassed many other physical
sports in popularity and viewership.
With trends continuing as they are and eSports growing in popularity it may be time to redefine
what and who we consider an athlete, and perhaps start treating them- and paying them- as such.
Do you think e-Athletes are real athletes?

What is Superficial Fascia and What Does it Do? | FACEROBICS® Face Exercise Program - Duration: 5:36.
hello everybody today I've got a subject for you that is not talked about very
often it's about the superficial fascia that surrounds the muscles on our face
now fascia is a sheath or a coating or a sac that goes around all of our muscles
that encompasses all of our muscles and fascia also separates the muscles from
one to the other if you look at a chicken breast for instance sometimes
you might get a chicken breast and when you go to cut it up there's that film
that's over at the top of it a very thin white film that is fascia and fascia is
like the network that keeps all of our organs together in our body there's
other fascia there's two other types of fascia
but today we're only interested in superficial fascia now that type of
fascia is all over our chest it's around all of our neck it's at all over our
head and all over our face now the thing is is that when you are doing facial
exercises you really need to work on releasing the fascia before you do the
exercises because the fascia is taut it becomes taut and and sort of stretches a
bit it's something that has collagen other peptides and all sorts of goodies
that feed those muscles as well but when you do your facial exercises you do need
to release the fascia now next week I'm going to be putting up a video on how to
release the fascia on your face neck and head and I'm hoping that when you learn
how to do this that you will add this to your face exercise routine every time
that you do facial exercises and the reason why I'd like you to add it is
because it strengthens the muscles much faster and you've got better chance of
building those muscles also I wanted to talk to you about the fascia and
over-exercising because if you do actually over exercise
you're faced with exercises if you're rubbing constantly or if you're doing
exercises and the fascia is weak or weakened this is where you start to run
into trouble with facial exercises so what we want to do is build up a strong
fascia once you start to work with the fascia
then you will find that your exercises will go to another level because it's so
much easier to do them once you release the fascia it's so much easier I've just
been doing it myself for a while now and I've wanted to do it and then bring it
to you guys when I feel that it's it's actually working so I really hope that
you're able to do this now here is a picture of what fascia looks like over
the muscle and that's what fascia is it is the sack that holds in the muscle and
it defines each muscle in our body now I've going over to couple of times
but I want to explain to you what it is it also holds collagen and other
peptides and it helps hold all of our muscles in our body together the skin
holds everything in the fascia holds in all of the muscles and keeps it all
tight and keeps the network all nice and tight inside of our body so you can
imagine that if you do over exercise if you do damage the fascia you can then
see how that starts to damage the muscle and fatigue the muscle and also if you
break that set fascia sack then you will be getting into all sorts of trouble if
the fascia is already weakened before you start facial exercises ever but you
know let's say you've never done facial exercises and you decide to start them
if the fascia is already weakened you will run into trouble if you do not
release that fascia and work with that fascia before you start the exercises
and I would actually advise everybody who hasn't done facial exercise before
to actually release the fascia and do that for a month or two months or six
weeks even just to start releasing the fascia and making it a little a little
bit more stretchy and elastic and a little bit more pliable to the muscle
that would be my advice because what then will happen is that it'll help the
muscle grow a faster because the fascia is more stretchy it's a very very
important part of the facial exercises so if you've got any questions below
please do ask also there is a link in the description blocks bos box
that describes what fascia is it's a Wikipedia link and go ahead and click it
and have a read about what it all is so important you know because everybody
thinks facial exercises, you can just get into it let's do it let's
BAM! let's do it no! and more and more and more and more depths that I go into
it the more excited I get as to how we can actually do facial exercises, but do
them really effectively do go and click that link because I think you'll be
quite interested now next week in the next video next week I am going to be
showing you how to do a fashion release message and as I said I want you to do
these every time before you do your facial exercises and you'll be you'll be

it's changed your facial exercises I hope that's something really interesting

Trump Is Super Sad That No One Cared About His Rally This Week - Duration: 3:08.
So while all the news was breaking.
Most of it kinda simultaneously on Tuesday between Manafort being found guilty on eight
counts, Cohen going to court and pleading guilty on eight counts implicating Trump in
a felony.
What was happening at that time though, was that Donald Trump was preparing for a massive
rally in West Virginia.
And according to a recent report in New York Times that actually came out Wednesday, the
day after the rally and all the big news.
Donald Trump went back to the White House after the rally and was very sad.
An aide said that he was just in a weird mood.
They hadn't really seen him like that.
He wasn't energized.
He wasn't even angry.
He was just sad, very morose.
Because he looked out in the crowd there in West Virginia and just saw too many empty
seats.
No matter what he tried at that rally, he couldn't get people going.
He couldn't get them excited.
Now in case you didn't see, I didn't watch the rally.
I read the tweets about it.
But there were ... I did see a few quick clips a this.
Before the rally began, the people in the audience were still chanting, "Lock her up."
Still chanting, "Lock her up."
On a day when two of Donald Trump's close friends, and allies, and political operatives
are going to prison.
They're chanting, "Lock her up."
So yeah, that was a little weird.
But nonetheless, Trump was sad.
And he was even sadder on Wednesday, aides say, because nobody was talking about his
rally.
Nobody was acknowledging that it happened.
Likely because of all his friends were going to jail, and he was just implicated in a major
felony.
So he was a little subdued and aides didn't quite know what to do with him.
But here's the thing, he wasn't sad because he was implicated in a felony.
He wasn't sad that his buddies are going to jail.
He was sad because nobody was talking about what an amazing job he did at the rally.
That's where that man's ego is right now.
It's not worried about keeping himself outta prison, or what to do about his friends, or
the fact that they ... you know, most of them are working with the investigators at this
point.
No, he is worried that nobody was talking about his disaster rally in West Virginia.
Nobody was telling him how great he is.
Nobody was telling him that they even watched it.
That is where that man's priorities are right now.
And that is going to come back and bite him big time.
Because if he's not focused on all of these legal problems that are happening to him?
If he's only focused on what happens at those rallies?
Then he's gonna get popped with some major charges and not even realize it.
Because he was too busy trying to get crowds ginned up and trying to get some positive
media coverage, to worry about hiring decent lawyers better than Rudy Giuliani to save
his ass from going to prison.

The Moth That Drinks Bird Tears & 6 Other Absurd Diets - Duration: 10:17.
[♩INTRO]
You might sometimes venture outside your culinary comfort zone.
Maybe you've eaten toasted crickets, or you've sampled escargot on a trip to France.
But the seven organisms on this list don't just dabble in out-of-the-box delicacies,
they make some really bizarre dietary choices.
Like, you just don't expect sharks to eat plants,
or, well, anything to live on a diet of dead turtle shells.
But apparently, having an adventurous palate has its advantages,
evolutionarily speaking.
There are at least 13 species of crocs and alligators
in the order crocodilia that eat fruit, for example.
These unexpected frugivores include infamous predators
like the American crocodile, Nile crocodile and Saltwater crocodile.
But by far the best studied is American alligator.
They're known to consume basically anything meaty,
including adorable little dogs that venture too close to bodies of freshwater
in the southeastern US.
But they also eat a huge range of fruit, nuts, seeds and other plants
at least 34 different species.
And no one is really sure why.
The leading theory is that they're just generalist feeders,
so they eat whatever's available.
But some biologists think they seek out nuts as gastroliths:
stones that are swallowed to aid digestion.
You see, crocs and gators have pretty rude table manners
and do not chew their food.
They swallow it whole and leave the work to their gizzard:
a thickly walled portion of the stomach that grinds up food.
Having something hard in there can help break down tougher chunks of meat.
There are also some that think all this fruit and nut eating is purely accidental.
But... there have been sightings by locals of gators
plucking kumquats right off a tree.
And in 1871, a French naturalist noted
Mexican crocodiles are so fond of avocados
that some people started calling the fruits "alligator pears".
So it seems unlikely that all this fruit-eating is unintentional.
The bonnethead shark is a small member of the hammerhead family,
and like its relatives, its usual diet consists of shrimps, molluscs and crabs.
But it also likes to supplement that protein with a nice salad of seagrass.
In fact, stomach content analysis has shown that seagrass
can make up as much as 62% of the shark's diet.
At first, scientists thought the sharks were eating all that grass by accident
because juvenile sharks seemed to be eating more of grass than adults.
They thought the young sharks were just clumsily chomping on some grass
as they learned to hunt.
But a study presented at the 2018 Society for Integrative and Comparative
Biology conference tells a different story.
When sharks were kept in a tank and fed a diet consisting of
90% seagrass and 10% meat, they all gained weight.
And tracers put in the grass were found in the sharks' blood,
revealing that they'd actually absorbed nutrients from the grass.
The researchers think an enzyme called b-glucosidase
in the sharks' stomachs might be helping them break down
the fibrous cellulose in the plants.
This enzyme is also found in the guts of seaweed eating fish
and three species of plankton eating sharks.
But it's never before been found in a species
scientists thought was a meat eater.
The sharks probably can't survive on a purely vegetarian diet,
but they seem to be more omnivorous than scientists originally thought.
In France, escargots, or snails, are a luxurious treat.
It turns out there's a group of snakes that also likes to indulge in this slippery delicacy.
The family Dipsadini (otherwise known as the "goo-eating" snakes)
contains almost 80 species.
Some eat snails and slugs as a side dish,
while others are totally molluscivorous,
meaning feed exclusively on snails and their kin.
And they have special adaptations to cope with such slimy meals.
Almost all of the dedicated snail-eaters have a lot of loose,
folded skin on the base of their mouths and teeth that curve backward.
These allows them to clamp down on the snail shell
and squeeze much of their lower jaw into it.
Then, with a few jerky movements, they slurp the snail out.
Many also have enlarged infralabial glands in the floor of their mouths
which secrete a protein-rich fluid out of holes near the front of the lower jaw.
Scientists think this is comprised of toxins that immobilize the snakes' prey,
or help loosen snails from their shells, though no one is entirely sure.
Snails might seem like a strange diet choice for a snake,
but biologists think it evolved because of competition.
By scaling trees and feeding on less popular fare,
these snakes were able to carve out a niche for themselves.
The Indian Grey Mongoose is a ferocious little carnivore
with a protein-heavy diet of eggs, insects, frogs, scorpions, crabs and fish.
But it also has quite the sweet tooth.
Camera trap footage from 2015 caught this meat-eater
slinking up to sugarbush flowers and drinking their nectar.
And that's just not something carnivores usually do.
If they vary their fleshy diet, it's with fruit, not nectar.
So the scientists were really surprised
to see these furry meat-eaters downing nectar.
The flowers do have a bit of a cheese-like smell,
so it's possible the animals were initially drawn to what smelled like carbs or protein.
But the researchers think they return for the sugar rush
and the nectar certainly has no shortage of that.
It's about 30% sugar by weight.
It seems a few slurps and these guys were hooked.
For one of the species of sugarbush observed,
the mongooses accounted for a little less than half of all visits recorded.
They were even seen carefully pushing leaves aside
to gain access to that sweet juice.
And after the mongooses had their fill, they left with snouts covered in pollen,
which made researchers think they could be acting as pollinators
although that's a hypothesis that needs further testing.
Tineidae moth caterpillars are notorious for eating sweaters.
But one species munches on something much creepier than your clothes:
he shells of dead gopher tortoises.
Ceratophaga vicinella belongs to a sub-group of Tineidae moths
that feed on the protein keratin, usually from things like horns, hooves, or hair.
You can spot them by looking for hard, brown tubes
these are called larval casings, and they're how the caterpillars protect themselves.
In 2005, researchers in southern Florida noticed similar casings
on the shells of dead gopher tortoises
and concluded that the shells were the main food source of a new species.
But why the super restrictive and, let's be honest, somewhat disturbing, diet?
Well, all moths need to eat protein so they can spin their cocoons.
They could eat leaves or your sweaters for their protein fix,
but keratin is everywhere, if you have the tools to digest it.
These moths have super acidic stomachs
and 29 different kinds of protein-breaking enzymes called proteases
sloshing around in their guts.
And since no other moths in the area digest tortoise shells,
they've got an exclusive ticket to an abundant food source.
Or, what was an abundant food source.
The only problem though with being such a picky eater
is that you're in trouble if your food disappears
and that's exactly what's happening.
Gopher tortoises are declining due to habitat loss,
being squashed by cars, poaching and disease.
And if the tortoises disappear, so too will this strange little moth with its weird diet.
Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants that usually feast on bugs and such
that they lure to their funnels using attractive scents.
At the bottom of that funnel is an acidic digesting pool
which does exactly what it sounds like it does.
But the Raffles' pitcher plant found in the jungles of Borneo
doesn't just eat insects.
It also eats guano.
Yes... bat poop.
Raffles' pitchers actually come in five growth forms
one of which, called elongata, grows high up in the trees.
Because of its long, slender shape, fewer insect-attracting compounds,
and low levels of digestive fluid, it's not actually very good at trapping insects.
Its insect capture rates are about 7 times lower than other varieties of the same species.
What elongata varieties are good at, though, is acting as a nice little hotel for woolly
bats.
Their narrower shape and lower digestive pool mean the bats can
snuggle up in the pitchers during the day to stay safe from predators and the elements.
And the plants don't mind this intrusion because the bats' provide them with
nitrogen through their guano and urine.
Yummy!
As gross as that might sound,
the pitchers can get about 39% of their nitrogen needs from the bats' waste
enough to balance the fact that they don't catch as many insects.
So this bat-pitcher plant relationship is a nice example of mutualism,
where both parties benefit from a particular interaction.
Imagine it's the middle of the night in the forests of Madagascar,
and you're a bird peacefully trying to get a little sleep.
While you dream of tasty grubs,
you might unwittingly become the target of the Madagascar tear drinking moth.
This 26 millimeter-long moth lands near a bird's eye
and jabs its sharp, 10 millimeter long, barbed proboscis
under the unsuspecting bird's eyelid.
It then proceeds to slurp tears right out of the tear duct
a feeding style known as lachryphagy.
It's not weird that they crave such a salty beverage.
Lots of butterflies and moths engage in what's called puddling,
where they take sips of muddy puddles or other moist things
like rotting fruit to get a boost of nutrients and fluid.
But for Madagascar tear drinking moths, tears aren't a treat
they're a complete meal packed with all the protein and minerals they need.
And because the tears are the main component of the moth's diet,
scientists have labelled them ophthalmotropic moths.
There are other tear drinkers, too, but they usually go for large mammals or reptiles
the Madagascan moth is the only one to feed on birds.
Stealing from an animal that could kick or bite at you might seem risky,
but biologists think it may actually be safer than regular puddling.
That's because it's unlikely the moth's usual predators
want to risk waking a sleeping giant.
And for what it's worth, the birds don't actually seem to feel anything.
Some biologists wonder if the moths inject an anaesthetic when they stab their mouthparts in,
but so far, no one has looked to see.
These diets might seem bizarre, or even gross,
but they all offer the species on our list something useful.
Whether that's a way to survive stiff competition, get extra nutrients,
or make up for bad hunting skills,
they show that diversifying your meals can be a winning strategy.
And hey, we all love a little variety in our diets,
so why shouldn't an alligator eat a kumquat?
Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow!
If you think these animals have some unexpected meals,
you should see which species made our list of vegetarian animals that actually eat meat.

Why Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton never Dated & 5 More Facts about The Gambler - Duration: 5:53.
Kenny Rogers aka "The Gambler" is a multi-talented man.
His songs are iconic, but truth be told, the Country Music Hall of Famer has seen success
in every walk of entertainment.
He has successfully crossed genres, blending jazz, pop, R&B and country, but is loved more
for his melodic ballads.
He has released some of the best romantic songs ever like 'Through The Years' and
'You Are So Beautiful' which sounds more affectionate with his signature husky voice.
The country music legend recently turned 80 on August 21.
Celebrating his birthday month and paying homage to his contribution to the music world,
we have a list of some intriguing facts about The Gambler hitmaker.
But, before getting into the life of this sensational singer, take some time to subscribe
to our channel and hit the bell icon to stay in the loop.
#6 Respected Photographer
In addition to being one of the greatest country
music singers of all time and winning a number of accolades in the last few decades, Kenny
Rogers has also branched out into photography.
He has published 3 photography books namely Kenny Rogers' America (1986), Your Friends
and Mine (1987) and This is My Country (2005).
He was even invited to the White House for a 1991 CBS-TV special to create a portrait
of then First Lady Hillary Clinton.
He also received an honorary master of photography degree from Professional Photographers of
America at its annual conference on January 14, 2014.
#5. Played Tennis for Ten Years
He has made a mark as a singer, author, entrepreneur
and what not?
He is also a tennis ace.
He said in an interview, "I played tennis for 10 years, eight hours a day every day
and developed a national ranking while I was on the road playing with Wimbledon champions.
I have tennis rackets that some of these guys have signed, and I want to put them in as
well."
He was obsessed with tennis so much so that he even got some tennis pros to travel with
him on the road.
Talk about obsession!
#4. Great Interior Designer
Without a doubt, Rogers holds the jack-of-all-trades
card in his hands.
He has also dabbled into interior designing.
In 2003, he started Kenji Design Studio, an interior design firm in Atlanta with Jim Weinberg.
They scored some major contracts, including designing the graphics, model units, common
spaces and employee uniforms at Trump Towers Atlanta.
Rogers has admitted that he is a self-taught designer and has done 20 houses of his own.
Is there anything this man can't do?
#3. Plastic Surgery Regret
Unlike many other celebrities, Rogers admits
that he went under the knife to enhance his looks.
But, he got disappointed with the results of botched eyelid lift.
He wanted to look as young as his wife but told People Magazine in 2006 that the surgery
made it too tight around his eyelids.
Rogers' wife, Wanda, says he looks great though and it's hard not to agree with her.
#2. Relationship with Dolly Parton
Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton have become
the gold standard for country duet magic since they released their no.1 hit, Islands in the
Streams, in 1983.
Many of us might think that if they can make great music together, they would definitely
have made a great couple.
Their chemistry and amazing collaborations for years made people think what didn't
work between them.
Kenny has admitted that they flirted for three decades, but never became a couple.
In an interview on Today, the two talked to Dylan Dreyer detailing the reason behind ditching
the idea of becoming an item.
"I'm a believer that tension is better if you keep it than if you satisfy it,'' Rogers
said.
"And then secondly, she said no to me."
Parton, on the other hand, said that the two were like brother and sister and that being
in a relationship would have been like incest.
#1. Albums and Accolades
Starting off a music career in the late 50s,
Rogers has released 65 albums, more than 120 hit singles and sold over 165 million records.
His two albums The Gambler and Kenny, are considered to be some of the most influential
country albums of all time.
Throughout the years, he has banked a decent net worth of $250 million and several accolades
too.
He has earned numerous awards, including the AMAs, Grammys, Academy of Country Music Awards,
and Country Music Association Awards.
For his incredible career spanning over six decades, he was presented with a Lifetime
Achievement Award in 2003 and was also inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2013.
In December 2015, he embarked on a tour, "The Gambler's Last Deal."
However, it was cut short in 2018 after he went through a "series of health issues."
The tour was to be his farewell tour as he wished to spend more time with his wife of
over 20 years, Wanda Miller, and their twin boys, Jordan and Justin.

Are Micronations Real Countries? | The Great Knowledge Swap - Feat. DSM - Duration: 6:06.
You ever just feel ... blessed?
When my buddy KhAnubis told me I'd be talking about micro-nations today, I was ready.
Btw, hi.
My name is DSM, I'm here on behalf of KhAnubis and I will talking about micro-nations today.
I have given many minutes of my life to staring at maps, following border lines and seeking
out microscopic islands in the middle of nowhere.
Triple Geography on Monday mornings might have been my nightmarish reality back in school,
but I think I'm ready to rekindle that love by asking the question you've already seen
in the title.
Are Micro-Nations Real Countries?
Well, since I'm pretty into my words, I figured I should start with what the general
definition of a country is.
We are discussing the micro versions of "nations", so let's just chuck in that definition as
well.
So this early on, it's important to note that while the two are synonyms, a "nation"
and a "country" are still technically classified as two separate entities that can
come together.
While we're on the synonyms, we should probably have a quick look at those.
Life is short.
Be a pedant.
I'm gonna get into those in more depth in just a second.
Foist of awl, let's have a look at why micro-nations have their own Wikipedia page.
So, what we can garner is that micro-nations say they're countries, but the slightly
bigger countries don't appear to agree.
Let's have a look at the official list of micro-nations; at least they're recognised
somewhere.
Quite a few, as you can see!
While there is an entire Micronations Wiki fandom with many additional names that aren't
included in other lists, for the sake of this particular video, I'll be sticking primarily
with the more "official" one from Wikipedia.
[yes, favourite flags are a must]
[have you seen the uniform of the Aerican Empire's dictator, it's everything]
Looking back at the definitions Google & Wikipedia have given us, I noticed a few similarities,
like:
Some form of definitive "leader".
An established government.
People who are united by a certain identity.
But is that all you need?
Well, there's also this useful checklist from the Montevideo Convention in 1933, written
by people who knew much more
than I do:
So, if the world's governments aren't acknowledging micro-nations as actual countries,
it's fair to assume that these nations probably don't meet the "requirements" to be
a country.
I'm not gonna assume, I'm a guest!
That'd be rude.
I am hosting, though, so let's play a cheeky game for a minute.
We have the four important points of the Montevideo Convention, but do our micro buddies meet
all of them?
Micronations with permanent populations Micronations with defined territories
Micronations with governments Micronations in relations with other states
After all that, how many are left?
However, when it comes to deciding who is what, it's less about logical reasoning
and more about politics.
Queen Anastasia of Ruritania, a micro-nation enclaved in the United States, described micro-nations
as a political statement and a direct response to how they felt things were being run in
their countries of origin.
A lot of people on the outside believed they were simply roleplaying, which is understandably
a term that micronational leaders do not care for because it carries with it the implication
that their duties aren't being taken seriously.
Many of the countries we reside in today and had drilled into us during Geography were
also heavily contested at the time.
So it's no real surprise that current micronations are receiving the same treatment.
However, we are at a point in humanity where the political climate is still as fierce as
ever - but more and more people are less afraid of taking a stand.
Countries are complicated.
Some are still fighting over land and borders, some are judged solely on their defence strategies
and some are ... just straight chillin'.
Are countries determined based on how well they can defend themselves?
A segment on RT news mentioned that your status as a country lies in how well you can defend
your borders, which may hint at why some have none.
How many countries were born out of war?
If no already-recognised country recognises a micronation as its own country, it is not
a country.
That's probably the simplest definition there is at the moment.
Are they nations?
I'd say so.
They're united by a lot of things and that's what a nation is.
But are they countries?
Not yet.
However, in the last 30 years, some countries have changed their names, some new countries
have been born, and some just wanna update their friendship circle - so it's not exactly
big news that the world is constantly prone to change.
Maybe in the next 30 years or so, these little guys will get the recognition they've been
after.
Hey, 'Nubs, how'd I do?
Excuse me?
"Nubs"?
I will inform you that this channel has existed since 2009!
Actually, that nickname's kind of funny, I'll let it slide.
In all seriousness, though, a big thank you to Emma of DSM for taking on this question,
and executing it, despite it not being her main subject of focus.
So, if you're wondering just what the hell is going on here, six channels from WeCreateEdu
are taking part in a huge back-to-school collaboration, the knowledge-swap edition!
If you want to see where I have been this week, head over to my friend Patrick Kelly's
channel, Corporis, where you'll see me talking about the effect that your position in history
has on your health.
It's actually really interesting, seriously, I delve into topics about the history of medicine
and all that!
Oh, and subscribe to DSM for more language and etymology-related videos in that oh-so
iconic, British sarcasm.
See you on Sunday!

Instead Of Killing Myself, I Called A Suicide Hotline - Duration: 4:08.
- I don't use that phrase like, "It saved my life", gingerly
but I mean, that suicide hotline phone call,
it saved my life.
The story actually begins prior to me calling the hotline.
We use the word "crazy" loosely a lot of the time
but I think the best way to describe
the feeling I was having at the time was crazy.
I was by myself.
I was actually on my way to pick up my daughter
at the time from daycare.
Being on the bus and feeling crazy like,
I wanted to take my clothes off,
I wanted to jump off the bus, I wanted to harm myself.
I can't call a suicide hotline on the bus right now
'cause that's gonna look really crazy.
So the best thing to do would be to, I had known
that New York has like, I forget what the number is,
that where essentially you can have a text conversation
to help you through the process
if you feel like you're going to harm yourself.
It was like, I'm trying to text, I text the message.
It took like a minute to get back
and it's like, "What is your problem?"
I was like, okay, I'm gonna text you, robot person
on the other side, what my problem is.
Okay, I don't know what to do, I'm panicking.
I'm like, okay do I run across the street because
at this point, I'm trying to figure out either,
do I harm myself or do I not harm myself?
Like one or two, and I'm like, okay well I need
to do something, so I called the suicide hotline
and I can't remember the exact, like how the phone call
began essentially, but I remember the feeling
of the phone call and I remember being affirmed
because I just felt overwhelmed.
And between work, between life, between fatherhood,
between not really knowing what I was doing
and in that moment, it felt like it was going
to be easier to not be here
and to essentially try to end my life.
And to have a person kind of listen to the stress
at the moment and say, "It is okay, you're okay,
wow this must be really hard for you,
this situation is really difficult.
You're doing a fantastic job, though,
based on what you're telling me."
Listening without judgment, without bias,
without prejudice, that suicide hotline phone call
saved my life and I wish I could remember the sister's name
who I spoke to because she was so warm, she was so loving,
she was so comforting.
She sounded like a black auntie.
Warm, the warmth was the word.
There were no identifying questions at all.
She doesn't know my name.
She doesn't know where I'm from.
She didn't know where I was located.
The conversation was directly related
to what I was going through
at that present moment and those feelings.
She didn't ask me anything else like, where are you,
or you know, none of that.
Part of what she was doing was just
allowing me the space really to vent.
It was less questions and more affirming.
It was just something I needed because there's that level
of shame you feel, essentially, when you're trying
to tell a person that you care about
that I essentially wanna harm myself
because then it's very easy, unfortunately,
for people who do know you,
to start blaming themselves.
I think, sometimes there's a fear, right?
Like, okay, do I make this phone call?
Am I essentially going to look crazy?
Is it crazy, does it even work?
And granted, I'm very much the person that doesn't believe
in absolutes, so not everything works for everybody.
Sometimes maybe it's not the hotline, maybe it's a relative,
it's a friend, it's someone you know you can call who's
going to essentially be able to give you that space
and that freedom and that room to give of yourself
without concern of bias or prejudice or judgment,
but the suicide hotline did that for me, for sure.
It's easy to kind of stigmatize how a person looks
who might be suffering from some level
of like a mental health disorder
or a person who may be depressed.
I don't look like the stereotypical person
who's been suffering from that.
I'm also going through this and processing this.
I know you probably are too.
I've kind of been blessed and fortunate enough
to be given the opportunity to have the language
and have the space to do that, so I feel like it's kind
of my duty to kind of share that with other people.

What is Superficial Fascia and What Does it Do? | FACEROBICS® Face Exercise Program - Duration: 5:36.
hello everybody today I've got a subject for you that is not talked about very
often it's about the superficial fascia that surrounds the muscles on our face
now fascia is a sheath or a coating or a sac that goes around all of our muscles
that encompasses all of our muscles and fascia also separates the muscles from
one to the other if you look at a chicken breast for instance sometimes
you might get a chicken breast and when you go to cut it up there's that film
that's over at the top of it a very thin white film that is fascia and fascia is
like the network that keeps all of our organs together in our body there's
other fascia there's two other types of fascia
but today we're only interested in superficial fascia now that type of
fascia is all over our chest it's around all of our neck it's at all over our
head and all over our face now the thing is is that when you are doing facial
exercises you really need to work on releasing the fascia before you do the
exercises because the fascia is taut it becomes taut and and sort of stretches a
bit it's something that has collagen other peptides and all sorts of goodies
that feed those muscles as well but when you do your facial exercises you do need
to release the fascia now next week I'm going to be putting up a video on how to
release the fascia on your face neck and head and I'm hoping that when you learn
how to do this that you will add this to your face exercise routine every time
that you do facial exercises and the reason why I'd like you to add it is
because it strengthens the muscles much faster and you've got better chance of
building those muscles also I wanted to talk to you about the fascia and
over-exercising because if you do actually over exercise
you're faced with exercises if you're rubbing constantly or if you're doing
exercises and the fascia is weak or weakened this is where you start to run
into trouble with facial exercises so what we want to do is build up a strong
fascia once you start to work with the fascia
then you will find that your exercises will go to another level because it's so
much easier to do them once you release the fascia it's so much easier I've just
been doing it myself for a while now and I've wanted to do it and then bring it
to you guys when I feel that it's it's actually working so I really hope that
you're able to do this now here is a picture of what fascia looks like over
the muscle and that's what fascia is it is the sack that holds in the muscle and
it defines each muscle in our body now I've going over to couple of times
but I want to explain to you what it is it also holds collagen and other
peptides and it helps hold all of our muscles in our body together the skin
holds everything in the fascia holds in all of the muscles and keeps it all
tight and keeps the network all nice and tight inside of our body so you can
imagine that if you do over exercise if you do damage the fascia you can then
see how that starts to damage the muscle and fatigue the muscle and also if you
break that set fascia sack then you will be getting into all sorts of trouble if
the fascia is already weakened before you start facial exercises ever but you
know let's say you've never done facial exercises and you decide to start them
if the fascia is already weakened you will run into trouble if you do not
release that fascia and work with that fascia before you start the exercises
and I would actually advise everybody who hasn't done facial exercise before
to actually release the fascia and do that for a month or two months or six
weeks even just to start releasing the fascia and making it a little a little
bit more stretchy and elastic and a little bit more pliable to the muscle
that would be my advice because what then will happen is that it'll help the
muscle grow a faster because the fascia is more stretchy it's a very very
important part of the facial exercises so if you've got any questions below
please do ask also there is a link in the description blocks bos box
that describes what fascia is it's a Wikipedia link and go ahead and click it
and have a read about what it all is so important you know because everybody
thinks facial exercises, you can just get into it let's do it let's
BAM! let's do it no! and more and more and more and more depths that I go into
it the more excited I get as to how we can actually do facial exercises, but do
them really effectively do go and click that link because I think you'll be
quite interested now next week in the next video next week I am going to be
showing you how to do a fashion release message and as I said I want you to do
these every time before you do your facial exercises and you'll be you'll be
contacting me you'll be saying in the comments over all the videos how amazing
it's changed your facial exercises I hope that's something really interesting
for you today that you have learned about and will learn more about
please do remember to subscribe go ahead and click the bell when you click that
bell it notifies YouTube to notify you when I've uploaded a video all right
well you have a lovely day wherever you are in the world and I'll see you next

Ямщик, не гони лошадей - Dmitri Hvorostovsky (2011) - Duration: 4:29.
How rueful and hazy it seems,
how dismal and dreary's my path,
the past would appear like dream,
it torments my sore chest in wrath.
Don't drive tired horses, coach man,
there's no place to which I would trot,
for me no one's left to adore,
don't drive tired horses, coach man.
As craving among gloomy plains
betrayal and love I'd forget.
As dark lord my memory reigns,
it wakens the past yet again.
Don't drive tired horses, coach man,
there's no place to which I would trot,
for me no one's left to adore,
don't drive tired horses, coach man.
It all has been lies and deceit,
farewell to my dreams and love,
yet pain of the wounds that still bleed
forever will stay, I suppose.
Don't drive tired horses, coach man,
for me no one's left to adore,
don't drive tired horses, coach man.

Rose McGowan Mourns Anthony Bourdain's Death With Asia Argento in Italy - Duration: 4:37.
The chef-turned-TV travel show presenter committed suicide last week. Jun 12, 2018 AceShowbiz - Rose McGowan has joined her friend Asia Argento in Italy as the "xXx" actress mourns the loss of her boyfriend, Anthony Bourdain
The chef-turned-TV travel show presenter committed suicide last week (ends Jun 08) and McGowan jetted off to Italy over the weekend to comfort her pal, who is also a vocal alleged victim of Harvey Weinstein's sexual abuse
In a new open letter sent to the media on Monday, June 11, Rose salutes her pal as she returns to work after the tragedy, noting Bourdain, 61, was the same age as her father when he passed away
"Dear Fellow Humans," McGowan begins the note. "Sitting across from me is the remarkable human and brave survivor, Asia Argento, who has been through more than most could stand, and yet stand she does
She stood up to her monster rapist and now she has to stand up to yet another monster, suicide
The suicide of her beloved lover and ally, Anthony Bourdain. "I write these truths because I have been asked to
I know so many around the world thought of Anthony Bourdain as a friend and when a friend dies, it hurts
Many of these people who lost their 'friend' are wanting to lash out and blame. You must not sink to that level
Suicide is a horrible choice, but it is that person's choice." Rose then opens up about her troubled friends Asia and Bourdain, revealing both harboured great darkness and the chef once told a mutual acquaintance that he'd never met anyone who wanted to die more than him
"Through a lot of this last year, Asia did want the pain to stop. But here's the thing, over their time together, thankfully, she did the work to get help, so she could stay alive and live another day for her and her children
Anthony's depression didn't let him, he put down his armor, and that was very much his choice
His decision, not hers. His depression won. "I know before Anthony died he reached out for help, and yet he did not take the doctor's advice
And that has led us here, to this tragedy, to this loss, to this world of hurt." Rose has also asked Bourdain's fans and friends and the media at large not to blame Argento for his death, adding: "Anthony's internal war was his war, but now she's been left on the battlefield to take the bullets
It is in no way fair or acceptable to blame her or anyone else, not even Anthony
We are asking you to be better, to look deeper, to read and learn about mental illness, suicide and depression before you make it worse for survivors by judging that which we do not understand, that which can never fully be understood
" Rose concludes her letter by urging those who are considering taking their lives to seek help, listing the suicide prevention hotlines around the world

Current and former employees at Burning Man, an annual festival in a Nevada desert, said work conditions are so poor and toxic it has led to several workers committing suicide
According to a report by Salon.com, seven Burning Man employees have died by suicide between 2009 and 2015
Dr. Sally Spencer-Thomas, a psychologist and the lead of the Workplace Task Force for the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention, told the outlet that the number is shockingly high
'To give you a benchmark, in a community of 1,000 people we would expect one suicide death in one decade,' she said
Salon spoke with numerous current and former employees who blamed the high suicide rate on dangerous and stressful work conditions, alleged mistreatment by management and unfair pay
'They don't help out the workers that are injured, quite often, and they just try to get them to work for the most by giving them the least and then discard them,' former Burning Man staffer Caleb Schaber during a protest outside the company's San Francisco headquarters in February 2007
'They seem to feel that it's OK to exploit workers like they're some kind of resource that's just there to take and not help out
They're a multi-million dollar corporation that has franchises, and they're not taking care of their workers
' Schaber worked as a full-time employee for Burning Man in 2003 after working as a photojournalist in Iraq and Afghanistan
He eventually quit Burning Man but continued to volunteer at the festival and fight for worker's right
Two years after staging the protest, Schaber committed suicide. Friends and former co-workers told the outlet they believe the way Schaber was treated by the company after challenging its labor practices contributed to his suicide
'He just wanted to be paid a fair day's wage, and he wanted the crews that he worked with to be paid the same,' said a staffer who declined to give their name
'He wanted it to resemble a community and a job at the same time.' Ridge Arterburn said she thinks 'being ostracized' from Burning Man's Department of Public Works 'is very painful', but added that Schaber was 'troubled' before his death
According to employees, suicide is so prevalent among those who work at the playa, the name for where the festival is held, that the employee manual includes a section dedicated to the deceased
There is also a memorial in the Department of Public Works' saloon at Burning Man
Arterburn said a dozen names are on the memorial, a majority of them workers who died by suicide
Ricardo Romero, another employee, told Salon that from 2013 to 2014 three of his colleagues killed themselves
One of those was Ryan Brown, 40, who died in 2014 shortly after he was fired by management
Romero said that before Brown's death his friend had gotten 'more and more distressed' and there were concerns he 'would become violent with his wife'
Romero said Brown was fired, although it's not clear why, and Brown allegedly went on a drug and alcohol bender and was arrested after reportedly driving a car through a hotel lobby
A few days after that incident he was found dead in his hotel room, according to Salon
His death was ruled suicide. 'In years past, I had friends kicked off of playa or the worksite, and you can kind of tell when managers involved in this process are looking very stern, serious and looking over,' Romero said
'What they do is basically just toss you off the site. They give you no compensation, and they basically tell you you're on your own
. . a lot of times they are people who aren't getting paid or they are getting paid very little
' Romero said it can be 'a very traumatic situation' for employees. 'At (the) point (that Brown died), suicide was a problem,' he added
'It can be a traumatic experience for people just to leave there on their own will after their contract is over let alone to be fired and separated from a million people who you feel accept you
'Romero said he doesn't blame management for Brown's death but thinks they could have done more to help his friend in his time of need
'I think, in a sense, every suicide that has happened is related to the work,' he said
'They may not all be exactly caused by it, but it's all related.'Eric Close is another former worker who killed himself
An employee who didn't want to be named said Close may have had an opioid problem, but was also under a lot of stress at work
'I wasn't sure when the problem developed, but I remember him being stressed out working for (Burning Man), saying that he didn't feel like he was earning money to do what he (wanted to be) doing because he was always working,' she said
RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next Final Burning Man preparations are made as an estimated
Burning Man organizers threaten to sue federal officials. Share this article Share A spokesman for Burning Man did not comment on the suicides directly, but told Salon in a statement that 'worker safety is paramount to Burning Man and we are exceptionally proud of the extensive resources we provide to staff'
'Burning Man's medical resources at the event also include a state-licensed urgent care facility and six satellite first-aid stations, mental health support services, and on-site emergency air transport,' spokesman Jim Graham added
'We also have our Black Rock Rangers and People Operations teams on site to support staff in need of mental health resources
"Employees at Burning Man, however, are painting a different picture telling Salon that pay disparities were a top complaint among workers
Reportedly some volunteers were not paid at all, and others received low wages. Several females with the company told the outlet that they made less than their male counterparts
'Yes, women are treated different there,' Arterburn said. 'Many times … qualified women are overlooked for positions … Then have to fight and say, look, in the real world here's my certifications
Women are paid less than men. I know this from hearing what people make.' Arterburn said she volunteered with Burning Man for six years but was asked in 2015 not to return
Romero said he started as an unpaid intern, but was later offered $15 an hour. According to 2016 tax filings, upper management made between $150,000 to $200,000 a year
'I never asked for much money, kept my head down, kept my mouth shut, respected the authority,' he said
'Over the years, I just kept on seeing so many of my co-workers getting fired for complaining about worker treatment
I'd hear things like, "That person got fired because they stuck up for someone or called out some abuse that they witnessed
"' He said in 2014 he contacted a labor lawyer because he had had enough of it and started talking to workers about forming a union
In April 2017 he said he was 'uninvited' to return to Burning Man. It would have been his eight year working there
Romero said he was unfairly let go because he tried to form a union. The company said in a statement that he was not called back to work for Burning Man because his 'temporary employment expired'
'The only reason I got fired was because I talked back to management and brought up issues to how workers were treated, how we were informed and how the company supported us and cared about us,' he said
'As a laborer, I was in good standing.'Despite instance that Romero was not fired over trying to organize a union, the company was forced to issue an apology, hire him pack and pay him a settlement
Romero said their willingness to settle proves what he said. One worker was even severely injured at Burning Man and is permanently disabled
Former employee Kelli Hoversten had volunteered as a Burning Man Ranger in 2014 and had been assigned to protect the burning man effigy on the last day of the festival when a festivalgoer shined a laser hitting her in her eye
Hoversten said she was left blind in her left eye because of it. Burning Man said lasers have since been banned from the festival
Over the years, Burning Man has become a popular festival drawing out power figures like Tesla CEO Elon Musk, actress Susan Sarandon, rapper Diddy and his girlfriend Cassie, models Karlie Kloss and Cara Delevingne and singer Katy Perry
This year, the festival takes place from August 25 to September 3 in the Black Rock Desert

▶️TWITCH PRIME CHANGES!!.... SLIGHTLY...◀️ | Opinion Video - Duration: 8:22.
Tally ho ladies and gents this is JimboMantis coming at you..... I've also got a hot
take for you eh....... As you may or may not be aware Twitch, the popular video streaming
service, recently announced on Monday that they would be removing ad free
viewing from their Twitch Prime subscription service. Now a lot of people
have been up in arms about this announcement but you know what.... I don't
really care.... Before we get into it let me just explain where I'm coming from. The
only reason why I have a Twitch Prime subscription is because I have an Amazon
Prime subscription. I see Twitch Prime as basically a perk
of Amazon Prime, it's a value add product meant to make Amazon Prime look better
for £80 a year or whatever that is in your local currency. As a consequence
of this I don't really mind having to watch adverts whilst watching a stream
because I haven't really paid anything extra to have them removed, if that makes
any sense at all. You don't have to pay anything extra for Twitch Prime above
Amazon Prime, so effectively you're getting all the
perks and benefits of Twitch Prime for free. So actually Twitch Prime is a
very, very good deal, but that's just where I'm coming from other people will
come at it from a different point of view but I'm just trying to explain here
where I'm coming from. So with that in mind let's get into this. So I think it's
best if I kick things off by reading the email that Twitch sent around about this
change. Now I did run into a slight problem when trying to read this email
because Twitch sent it to me in German! Do I look or sound like ze German to you?
Luckily just before I started recording this video Twitch sent me the same email
again in English...... so I was able to read it. So this is what the email said: We may
have previously sent you an email in German in error, no fucking shit! We
are sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused, well it wasn't really that
much of an inconvenience I do have Google Translate but anyway let's get
into the bulk of this email. When we launched Twitch Prime we were determined
to give streamers and their viewers the best value in gaming and since then
we've seen the Twitch community take advantage of Twitch Prime perks like a
monthly channel subscriptions to support favourite streamers, games with Prime and
in-game loot for games like Fortnite, PUBG, Hearthstone and more. On top of
everything you get through Amazon Prime, this year alone we've offered members
more than £700 worth of games and loot. As we've continued to add
value to Twitch Prime we have also reevaluated some of the existing Twitch
Prime benefits as a result universal ad free viewing will no longer be part of
Twitch Prime for new members starting on September 14th. Members with monthly
subscriptions will continue to get ad free viewing until October 15th. If you
already have an annual subscription, or if you upgrade to an annual subscription
before September 14th, you will continue with ad free viewing until your next
renewal date. Advertising is an important source of support for the creator's who
make Twitch possible. This change will strengthen and expand that advertising
opportunity for creators so that they can get more support from their viewers
for doing what they love. You can read more details on this change in our
recent blog post.... That is something that I have not read when making this video......
All other Twitch Prime benefits like monthly channel subs, monthly games and
loot and chat badges are not changing. You can still get channel specific ad
free viewing as part of Twitch Prime by using your monthly subscription token on
a channel that has ad free viewing for subscribers turned on. Plus all twitch
viewers can get ad free viewing across all channels by subscribing to Twitch
Turbo for $8.99 U.S. Dollars per month in addition to
your Prime membership fees and with your Twitch Prime membership you can still
take advantage of all other Amazon Prime benefits like two-day shipping and
access to Prime Video and Prime Music. Thank you for being a Twitch Prime
member, we look forward to bringing you even more amazing loot, games and
benefits over the coming year. So there are two maybe three things that I take
away from this email. The first thing is that the only thing to change is that
Universal ad free viewing is being taken away from Twitch Prime. Nothing else is
changing so you still get the free channel subscription you still get games
with Prime and you still get free in-game loot for whatever the games it
specifies are, none of which I'm interested in but that's not really the
point of this video so moving on. The second point that I take away from this
email, and this is the one I have a slight contention with because I think
it's a bit of a dick move on Twitch's part, is that twitch seems to be reviving
it's Turbo product. Now the question I have for Twitch is why? I don't see what
was wrong with moving all of the Turbo benefits over to Twitch Prime. Now
speaking of benefits let's actually have a look at what you get with Twitch Turbo.
You get: ad free viewing which you used to be able to get on Twitch Prime,
custom emoticon set, a unique badge, extended chat colours and increased video
storage. All of this will set you back near as makes no difference 9 dollars a
month. Is it worth it? Let me know what you think down in the comments but for
me personally, I would say that it's not worth it........ it's not even close. The only
thing that would be remotely useful to me in that list is ad free viewing, which
as I've stated before I don't really care too much about. The custom emoticon
set, badge and chat colours are all cosmetic and therefore have no worth to
me whatsoever. These are honestly such trivial things
to get and implement that Twitch can implement them for so little money to be
insignificant. Now the final perk is the increased video storage but this has
been rendered completely useless by the introduction of the video uploader.
What you do is you download the VOD of your past broadcast and just re-upload
it using the video uploader, therefore getting round the video storage limits.
So that feature is basically worth no money, the only thing that Twitch are
actually charging you for in Twitch Turbo is the ad free viewing, so forgive
me if I see this is a very cynical attempt to extract more money from us. I
am NOT a fan of this move, it is a massive dick move by Twitch in my
opinion. Now I think it is worth pointing out that you still can get ad free
viewing on Twitch when you use your trip your free channel subscription to
subscribe to a channel. Now granted it's only ad free viewing on that channel and
the streamer has to have actually turned on ad free viewing for their channel in
their channel settings but heck it's still better than nothing I suppose. But
I'm still left wondering why they couldn't roll all of this into Twitch
Prime, even if they had to reposition Twitch Prime as a paid add-on to Amazon
Prime it would still be a damn sight less convoluted than it is now.
Anyway that's all I really had to say on the matter, I don't really care about ad
free viewing being removed from Twitch Prime, however I am very cynical about
what I can only see as a cash grab by Twitch with the revival of their Turbo
product for seemingly no reason at all. I will just also points out that this
video is basically just my opinion based on the information received in that
email. If any other information comes out before this video is released but after
I've recorded it..... then new information will come out I will probably release
some sort of update video or I will put the update in the comments one of the
two but right now the email is the only piece of information I've really got to
go off. Now, if anyone actually does have any extra information on this please
leave a comment down below with your thoughts on the matter I would love to
read the read them and talk to you about it. If you like this video thumbs up and
subscribe and share this video with your friends, let's get this
channel going, let's get a bit of momentum going. Thank you so much for
watching and until the next time this is JimboMantis checking out.
