Wat is schoonheid? (What is beauty?) | Tarah Snitjer | Art talk - Duration: 4:04.Welcome to my studio. Well, actually it is more a work room.
At the moment I am working on a collection where I want to show a different form of beauty.
I have been making pastel chalk drawings of bodies for years and I have always
chosen to put down the perfect body. So the beautiful slim woman, the
muscled man. That on a given moment I thought 'Okay this is actually
not a very real picture at all'. Because not everyone looks like this and
beside I am almost getting insecure as I
look at these images because that's also not how I look!
So then I started to wonder, what is beauty and who
determines what beauty is and how is it that we see one
as beautiful and not the other? That subject keeps me busy very much at the moment.
That's why with my collection I want to deviate from that standard beauty image
that we have. And all this with as a goal that we feel happy in our skin.
That we are satisfied with ourselves.
Every body is beautiful, everyone is beautiful.
I actually think it's too bad that in commercials, on television and on
the internet, we always see one kind of body. Mostly these are slim women, muscular
men, beautiful thick hair, not too big nose, nice teeth.
And I think that is almost giving us the idea that everything
different from that, isn't beautiful.
And I think that's a very wrong message. That's why I find it
very nice to see, that at the Primark they are now using
fuller models to show the lingerie. So there is no longer just looking for
size extra small. They also looking at women who are fuller now.
And that is now also seen as beauty. But it goes much
further than that. There are so many different people, so much
body types, thinks that happened what makes your
body look different. That also should be shown more.
Think of men with hair loss or excessive hair or women
who have had a mastectomy. I think it would be really cool that in the future
it's a very normal picture that these women also show lingerie
at the Primark, on other billboards or Victoria's Secret!
That all body type be shown.
That we no longer have the need to hide our body because we are
insecure about it, and it's different from the standard image that has been created.
For example, I have been uncertain over my belly for a long time, because I
saw a lot of images of super slim women with no fat on their stomach.
And I did not look like that. As a result, I felt very insecure about it. What
wasn't needed at all. It does not mean that because I look different
from the standard picture that I do not look beautiful. Or that that part of
my body is not beautiful. I am also very curious how other
people think about it. What do you see as beauty? What is for you the
definition of beauty? And do you have
uncertainties that might have arisen from the fact that you always
have seen another image? In my next video I will tell more about where
I am working on and maybe also the input that you have given me on
this video. You can also find me on Instagram, Facebook, I have a
website and email address. That is all below. So if you want to share something
about yourself. Let me know! You will be hearing from me!

The Keto Diet For Fast Weight Loss? - Duration: 5:12.Wow she's gone from heavily overweight heavily obese to changing her body...
What's up guys it's your boy matty, matt from a Macro Lean AKA: Where's Wally?
and in this video I'm gonna be talking about "the ketogenic diet for weight loss"
and about an article that I found on the Express online. but if you're new to the
channel and you haven't hit subscribe yet? I suggest you hit subscribe and that
bell button to get notified every time I drop new content and new videos. but
let's get into this article and it starts off, the headline says "weight loss
woman shows off eight stone drop in one year after doing this simple trick"
weight loss can be hard to achieve particularly if you are very overweight
however an obese woman defied the odds with an eight stone weight loss in just
one year. Her ketogenic diet also known as the keto diet inspired regime
involved a simple mealtime trick. Now having a look at her pics she's got some
before and after pics here, and she's wow, she's gone from heavily overweight,
heavily obese to changing her body which is awesome. Losing weight and getting
control of your life I think is awesome. It goes on to say weight loss before and
after pictures are often aspiring and this particular woman's diet trick is
particularly simple and easy to follow. Inger revealed a hundred and eleven
pounds or eight stone weight loss after one year of following a slimming routine
revealing her total weight loss she said "I've lost exactly a hundred and eleven
pounds since starting she began at a start weight of 303 pounds twenty-two
stone and went down to her current weight of 192 pounds 14 stone explaining
how she did it she wrote I ate a ketogenic diet, basically low-carb no
pastas, breads, rice, sugars etc explaining the trick behind her meals she wrote I
would typically have my meals follow this formula. protein plus leafy greens &
some kind of veggies plus cheese. so basically her trick, her formula was
reducing calories. All she has done is reduce her calories and create a calorie
deficit. We need to understand here that the keto diet/ the ketogenic diet is not
special okay! you're not incinerating body fat, you're
not burning body fat any faster by having a high fat low carb diet and a
lot the time this comes down to clever marketing. As human beings we think
we've tried everything and when we hear a formula or a blueprint
or a new way of doing something we automatically think "wow that must be the
way to get the result I want because I haven't tried that yet" So that's all it
is! The keto diet has become very popular, the high fat crew has become very
popular in the last five years especially the last two years since
about 2016 . But I want to stress that point. the keto diet is not special! any
diet works if you create a calorie deficit. It goes on to say what is the
ketogenic diet? the ketogenic diet also known as the keto diet is a high
fat/ low carb diet which forces the body to burn fat instead of carbohydrates.
now the keto diet normally has around 5% of total calories coming from carbs ,20%
from protein and 75% from fat so you only really allowed to have around 30 to
40 grams of carbs a day. Sounds fun huh? I wouldn't advise anyone to follow the
keto diet. It is full of saturated fat and animal products that clog up your
arteries so don't believe all this bullshit like" healthy fats, you can't
store them as fats and they're healthy for you" No! first off you can definitely
store them as fat as body fat and secondly if you're still alive in 20
years time I wouldn't want to see the insides of your arteries. the article
continues "she also outlined her exercise routine: I worked out for like three
weeks and I didn't do anything for a few months then started
cycling and belly dancing sporadically. she then went on to try different forms
of exercise now I do cycling and Krav Maga regularly and least three times a
week. I haven't done belly dancing since February but looking to start again I
would say the majority of my weight loss was done without exercise though. So
dieting and being a deficit without exercising is not something I suggest.
That's not the route I'd suggest at all! you definitely sacrifice muscle mass and
you end up with suboptimal results compared to if you're in the gym and
putting your muscles through resistance doing some sort of weight training. You
want to have a combination of the two. A calorie deficit, good range of
macros and obviously some type of activity that involves resistance
training. If you just try and diet without going to the gym like I said
you're gonna burn through muscle you're gonna end up skinny fat no one wants
that . So what I'm trying to stress here again is the ketogenic diet works
because it creates a calorie deficit. Any diet works because it creates a
calorie deficit. so what it comes down to is the reduction in calories, the
reduction of calories in your diet that creates the weight loss and the fat loss.
There's no one diet, no one macronutrient one food group that
is going to speed that up and make that an amazing transformation over another.
So my advice to you is if you want to lose weight do it in the proper way.
She did that over a year which I respect. I think everyone should really
take six or twelve months to really attack their weight loss especially if
you're heavily obese , heavily overweight. But I would not suggest that Keto
diet. A calorie deficit, a good
ratio of macros and getting in the gym three to four times a week and being
consistent. Guys if you like that video I suggest you hit like, share, subscribe. I'm
matt from macro lean and I track macros do you???

Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Chinese Edition - After 48 Hours - Duration: 10:29.Hi guys so I'm backing out with the redmi note 5 this of course is the new
Chinese model with the revised camera on the back so it's got that wider aperture
if you've seen my unboxing which is basically like a hands-on review I'll
give you some photo samples of that so this video here just wanted to give you
a quick update that what's the phone like after 48 hours now I have been
using it and I just wanted to mention a couple of little things here so one of
the things that's really annoying with this phone of course being a Chinese
model that you don't have Google Play Store installed now I do have it here
and I can confirm that yes it's running fine now but it took me quite some time
to get this all set up and installed I will probably be releasing a backup file
that you can just restore on the phone so you've got Google Play Google Play
contact syncs and the account manager and things like that and the framework
because that I was having a lot of problems to get it working because
normally what you do if you go into the show me me store you just normally type
in Google now there is something there that actually will allow you to run
Google's Play Store but you must go through their application and it's
almost like a VPN probably the way that the Chinese circumvent Google of course
being blocked in China and that's really annoying to use so that was quite a bit
of a problem I had to start with now I've had a lot of questions in my first
hands-on I did make a couple of errors that yes it does support quick charge
I'll just show you that now and why I originally said that it didn't because I
was only getting figures of 5 volts 2 amps coming through the charger anyway
with my meter but if I plug in my Qualcomm quick charge 3 charger you see
it comes up with a little logo at the top I actually missed that in the video
someone pointed it out and said hey isn't that the Qualcomm quick charge
logo but I've noticed that it doesn't actually seem to charge it really that
much faster so I don't know whether it's Qualcomm
quick charge 3 that it's using or it could actually just be the Qualcomm
quick charge to speak it's really hard to tell my meters not reporting the
correct charge rates on it see this is the meter I have and it hovers around
while 2 amps when it's charging and about 6 volts it gets up too which is
kind of odd so it's not really reporting that information correctly charging
about 10 watts now I did charge it last night and I can confirm that the battery
capacity is close to the 4 thousand milliamp hours it reported something
like and 12 I think it was and for you pub G
fans out there yes it runs that this is on the medium sitting and it's not super
super super smooth but I've managed to play the game for quite some time three
hours in fact last night and I managed to get my winner winner chicken dinner
and the framerate is good enough that yes that you can play the game that
you'll be able to actually win like I did here and overall not too bad that's
on the medium if you're not happy with the framerate which I say hovers around
about 25 frames per second 30 at times and when really crowded areas that will
drop down then just set it on the low settings of course now when I was
playing the game I only lost about 25% battery life in three hours which is
really good and that means that yesterday I managed to get a screen on
time of 10 hours now this is continual screen on time I had it on most of the
time because I was gaming I was downloading apps and things and I was
also in Chrome and YouTube watching videos and at the moment I've been using
it today haven't made any voice calls today and I'm into one hour and a half
and 84% battery while 90's so 91% battery that's left at the moment yes so
it's looking like it's different gonna be a 2 day mobile phone in terms of
battery life now the other thing is it's not gonna be as good as the redmi note 4
because the room you know for I managed to get about screen on time off 14 hours
was just an amazing result so it's not gonna be as good here remember there's
more pixels on this screen it is a slightly larger screen but it is looking
like that Snapdragon 636 is gonna be just as efficient as the Snapdragon 625
but it's a lot powerful and it does mean a performance of the phone overall does
feel quite good it feels to me almost like a snapdragon 616 I mean it's got
the same GPU I think isn't it the Adreno 509 but over I've noticed performance of
the ROM is good however I have now lean seen a tiny little stutter and I think
that's down to optimization and when you have a look at the synthetic benchmarks
I showed you this in my hands-on video the first one that I released that the
n22 score is really good this is in fact almost double the snapdragon 6 to 5 so
it's a huge step up over that particular chipset
now one other little minor problem I have here with my unit I found that the
wireless reception the range of it see to be about one bar less than my Xiaomi
me max to that I have and the speeds aren't as fast as I was hoping for
normally on the 5g band of wireless AC I can push around 150 hundred and thirty
both upload and download with these particular phones here and when the
flagship ones they get a lot faster with their two by two antenna set up for
example the Snapdragon 835 or the eight flew for five and the same goes for the
4G speeds 4G speeds I mean it could be my carrier but I've been testing this
and I can't really seem to get any faster 4G downloads then about 15
megabits per second and the uploads and this could be because I'm on the Chinese
version even though I've got 4G coverage perhaps the current band that I'm on
isn't the most optimized or fastest band there so that's just one area of minor
concern there a minor complaint I have with the wireless speeds and the 4G
speeds now one other thing too is the front-facing camera will support those
depth effect shots so with your bokeh blurred background simply by pressing
this and it's going to use the AI so this does have the area where the
cameras to do the stitching so stitching between the blue background and then you
in focus is handled of course by the AI now here's a sample I took with the
front-facing camera I'll have maybe a camera review coming up or definitely
will be included at my full review and you can see there the stitching seems to
be pretty good it does a good job so not bad at all there's just quite good
considering this is again a budget mobile phone now when you have a look to
the right of the earpiece I pointed out what looks like I thought an ambient
light sensor there my dental pock so many sensors over here now it could be
an ambient light sensor code in fact be like a one megapixel or two megapixel
tiny little secondary camera there just to maybe perhaps grab the background and
aid those those depth effect selfie shots now as I pointed out in my hands
on that if you want to record 4k video at the moment the stock app does not
support it so you must use a third-party camera app now this is open camera so
you could set it to 4k video now when I did my test in my unboxing video I did
not have the video stabilization and name
so someone in the comments asked me will the electronic image stabilization work
so I'm now using open camera here 4k but I have enabled the electronic image
stabilization which as you can see actually works on 4k as well now I don't
know how this is going to fit the frame rate I have noticed that it will affect
the focus performance a little bit it doesn't seem to be as quick about that
stability seems quite good so see how it locks on now to the hibiscus flower
right here it's capturing that quite well and the ending wall there in the
background so their focus really is quite good
Vera Kazmir has got to get in the shot so great to have on a budget mobile
phone like this priced around 220 us electronic image stabilized 4k web this
kind of quality I feel isn't bad at all so just do that focus test again with my
hand see it locks onto my hand really quick there and onto the background so
that is great and for once we don't have that focus pulsing and breathing issue
that we used to have on literally every single show me mobile phone including
their flagship suffering from that issue now the latest me UI that this is
running this is on Android 8.1 and it's me UI 9.5 that I'm running does now have
gestures so I've been using it and getting used to it and I actually do
like it it's not too bad so if you don't want to have the on-screen navigation
buttons here I really wish they'd still put the capacitive ones in the bottom
bezel but I don't know why they're not doing that anymore maybe it's cost or
something like that but to go back is to simply swipe on this side here and I
find that it works well now if you want to go into your recent apps
it's just hold up and stop in the middle then you go to your recent apps there
and it doesn't mentioned yet the performance of that seems to be pretty
good but now and then I've seen a couple little status so Xiaomi has to do a bit
of optimization and then if you want to go the home screen you just simply swipe
up and you get used to it and it does work I'm actually finding it to be
alright and of course your toggles are at the
top there that's all the same there you notifications and everything there so
I'm still working through all of my tests I'll report back on my full
battery life findings things like charge time will be included more gaming GPS
you know that's gonna all be in my final review so I'm really liking the
Snapdragon 636 it's my first time with this chipset and I can just say straight
away that step aside Snapdragon six to five devices this chipset is just so
much better I really do like it I think it's that perfect blend again from
Qualcomm with battery life and performance so performance the everyone
performance for playing all your games you like out there of course it won't be
as smooth as the flagships it won't give you that 60 frames per second but it
gives you playable frames per second but the best thing is to that it's going to
give you longer battery life because the Snapdragon 805 or the 835 is going to
burn through your battery a lot quicker gaming then it would of course on this
device here and this really has a lot of positives I mean the camera performance
is looking really quite good especially in daylight takes some really stunning
photos a good dynamic range and overall I am really liking this phone it's
looking like an absolute winner here from Xiaomi my only area of concern is
the wireless range and speeds just don't seem to be up to what I would expect
from a mobile like this now don't forget you can win one of these have a look at
the link down in the description of this video and I do have to catch you back
with my full and final review of the xiaomi redmi note 5 and perhaps a camera
comparison as well against my samsung galaxy s7

BJJ: Rolles Gracie's choke from guard - Duration: 2:01.(upbeat guitar music)
- This time, we counter a guy with
a good grip here.
Alright, strong grip and you're looking to break
his posture but it's not really working.
Okay a trick that I came up with was simply
by holding both hands on the collar here.
I don't need to go super high, just as I am,
I'm going to grab it.
Because this will make my arm cross
right around on his joint here.
And if you notice, usually when the guy
has a stronger hold to here,
his joint, the bend of the arm, is facing that way,
so it's hard for me to bend him here.
Naturally his arm wants to bend that way.
When I grab here, and I use my legs,
and I pull at the same time,
you can get in on the detail here,
my arm's going to turn and make his bend.
Okay as soon as I break the posture,
I'm going to shift and I'm going to open the collar
and stick my hand deep inside.
Make sure you gotta a good grip, don't just settle for this,
okay, keep your hand open,
pull the collar, and now I close it.
Now can we shift towards the other side,
grab it, clinch it, knuckles to the forehead.
That's good.
(relaxed guitar music)

Seoul and Washington jointly announce agreement on amendment to KORUS FTA - Duration: 2:20.After three months of talks,...
South Korea and the United States have officially reached an agreement in principle on the terms
of amending their FTA.
Both sides have expressed satisfaction with the concessions they squeezed out of each
other.
Kim Hyesung reports.
In a joint statement, Seoul's trade minister Kim Hyun-chong and U.S. Trade Representative
Robert Lighthizer said the two countries were pleased to announce that they have reached
an agreement in principle on the amendment of their bilateral trade deal.
The statement released Wednesday night local time said the agreement addresses issues on
investment, tariffs, automobiles, customs and trade remedies.
Seoul has agreed to lift some its safety and environmental regulations, and will allow
U.S. automakers to ship Korea up to 50-thousand vehicles each, up from 25-thousand previously.
Tariffs imposed on Korean pickup trucks exported to the U.S will be extended by 20 years to
2041.
South Korea on the other hand, secured revisions to the investor-state dispute settlement clause.
The two sides also agreed to improve the transparency of the trade dispute settlement process, which
covers issue like anti-dumping duties.
But as South Korea's trade minister mentioned at a press conference Monday, there is no
further opening of Korea's agricultural market or the mandatory use of U.S. auto parts.
The announcement comes less than three months since the first round of trade talks began
in January.
In the joint statement, Seoul and Washington said the agreement represents "an important
progress in improving Korea-U.S. trade and economic relations, based on their strong
and enduring security relationship."
As well as the FTA amendment, there's an agreement on exempting South Korea from the Trump administration's
25-percent steel tariff measures.
In exchange, South Korea's quota will be set at two-point-six-eight million tons of steel
exports a year, or 70 percent of its average annual shipments to the U.S. between 2015
to 2017.
The arrangement with respect to steel products is expected to take effect on May 1st.
Working-level officials are ironing out the details so that Seoul and Washington can finalize
their amendments to the six-year-old trade deal soon, which are subject to domestic procedures
in both countriesbefore the provisions can be brought into force.

New nuclear activity spotted at North Korea's nuclear reactor site - Duration: 1:49.As preparations continue for the summits with North Korea,... analysts have detected new
activity at the regime's main nuclear complex.
Recent satellite imagery suggests a reactor has been powered up after years of construction
work.
That's an issue that would likely be brought up by President Trump in his talks with Kim
Jong-un.
Park Hee-jun reports.
Numerous reports are indicating fresh activity at North Korea's nuclear site.
According to the New York Times,... satellite imagery taken in February shows what appears
to be emissions from a smokestack,... suggesting a new North Korean reactor, situated at the
Yongbyon nuclear complex, is firing up now after years of construction.
Recent analysis by the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University,...
also indicates that North Korea may have begun testing an experimental light water reactor.
Both can be used to produce the fissile materials needed for nuclear bombs.
Pyongyang has claimed that the plant was built to produce electricity for civilian use.
But Jane's Intelligence Review cautioned that it's impossible to know for sure without international
inspections-- whether the reactor is indeed for civilian electricity,... or whether it's
for creating weapons-grade nuclear material.
North Korea hasn't conducted any nuclear tests since last November.
However, the activity at the reactor could raise tension, as it comes at an especially
sensitive time with the Trump-Kim talks coming up in the next few months.
The new nuclear activity is likely to be the central issue for the talks,... as the United
States' core goal continues to be denuclearizing the North.
And it raises the need for President Trump to not only push for North Korea to give up
its nuclear weapons,... but also the factories and reactors that create the material to build
more weapons.
