Hello Riders! Welcome from Your MadHorse :)
here's a brand new episode for "Cult Bikes" series
This time We're gonna talk about a bike
way different despite
Yamaha R1 of the 1st video
and it is the Honda Africa Twin
It's hard to find someone that never heard anything about this bike
because it left a big mark on motorcycling history and inside the hearth of many riders
this success was mainly possible by historical period
when this kind of Enduro bikes were incredibly popular
infact at that time the "Myth" of the Paris-Dakar Race was extremely followed by people
Enduro bikes were mainly powered by a single cylinder engine
but this African Race pushed manifacturers to project 2 cylinders engines
to compete against BMW R80 G/S
during 1986 edition
Honda presented a "Brand New Bike"
the Revolutionary NXR 750
2 cylinders with 8 valves and 780cc engine
V cylinders with 50° angle
over 75 Hp
and a Weight of 160 Kg
which won this competition 4 times in a row
creating the "Myth" behind this bike
at Paris Motor Show, on autumn of 1987
debuts the Honda XRV 650 Africa Twin
almost a replica version of the Dakar one
with the HRC logo on sides
and with race colors: White, Red and Blue
50 Hp engine
and a weight of 210 Kg
make this 2 cylinders
brilliant On Road and quite good for soft Off Road
both things which made this bike a real success
specially for those which considered too much "Road use only" the Honda Transalp
but the Africa Twin wasn't a real off road
because bike's weight
imposed brakes and suspensions way different
from an Off Road use
but despite this "cons" it became a real legend
that evolved through time
before with some adjustments and then by increasing engine cc
infact to this one will follow
the Honda XRV 750 of 1990
which increased engine to 742 cc
and 5 more HP of Max power
and one of the most important things was the erogation at medium rpms
on front arrives a 2nd brake disk
and fairing became more protective, exaltating more the "Road Use Vocation"
on 1993 with the RD07
comes in a new bike evolution
with an improved frame to better distribute weights
new flatslide carburetors
a redesigned air box and a rear suspension with more travel
on 1996 it had a little restyling
with some adjustments to fairing, sospensions, exhaust and to ECU
untill 2003 when it went Out of Production
since that moment the Africa Twin owners turned this bike into a Cult Bike
who didn't bought it on past asked a new edition
but the wait ended at 2015 EICMA
with the "fresh" Honda CRF 1000 L
an exceptional Africa Twin Re-Edition
which was another great market success
but... Why this bike became a real myth furthermore the racing wins?
because it was the right bike at the right moment
borned from Rally competition when those kind of race was large followed by folks and medias
this motorbike was the legendary Dakar racing bike
buyable at the dealership
an honor shared with just one other bike: KTM Adventure 950
but it hadn't the same success on market
and quite hardy it will do good as the Honda XRV/CRF
that's all folks!
please share this video

Thor Ragnarok SECRET Soul Stone REVEAL & Thor Ragnarok Post Credit SCENE Explained!!! - Duration: 4:31.
What is good youtube Warstu here with a video on Thor 3
so hopefully you would have seen Thor 3 by now this video will contain minor
spoilers and major spoilers from all the Marvel properties now Thor comes out
worldwide on the 2nd of November so everyone knows that infinity Wars is
build infinity war is building up to Thanos so back in the Vengeance in 2012
a scene with Lowe he said this if you fail if the tesseract is kept from us
there'll be no realm no barren moon no crevice we won't find you you think you
know pain so we all know Loki failed then an angel Ultron 2015 when it was
these then I said fine I'll do it myself and that was you technically the last
time we've seen him directly so during the post-credits scene ending whatever
you want to call it off for 3 we see Thor and Loki talking about him going
back to earth and seeing as Loki tried to destroy it it wouldn't be a good idea
and then boom we get hit by a massive ship they looked amazed and it cuts out
and we can only predict what's happened based on the d23 footage and everyone
that watch that scene should know that was either that or the black order or
the children while the order most likely Thanos sojourneth or 3 Loki looks at at
at Iraq in Odin's trophy room briefly and I presume he took it so low he's
gonna hand the tazza right over to someone much taller in the d23 footage
this will be vanished the reason is he failed to do so last time losing the
mine stone from his Loki's staff and now it's in visions head so he's gonna do
anything to save his own life and even screw over the Avengers because Loki
isn't good or bad he's like an in-betweener
Thanos were attack the ship the leaving the Thor for dead floating in space we
can see this from the d23 footage Thor bumps into the guardianship and mantas
brings him back to life so to speak but was the final Infinity stone infinity
gem revealed during the Thor movie I believe potentially it could be where
would it be so also in öhlins trophy room
we see a scene where heads down there she brings her army back to life the
ultimate Fame was sold from Sirte and his weights get interesting so she can
bring back her whole army to life from this flame and that's the zach same
properties as the soul stone it's the same color so it can bring back living
people or dead people in control their souls so could that potentially be where
the last stone is secretly now I know I did a video saying it's gonna be in the
heart Ville Condor but I actually think it could be the alternate alternate
alternate flame I mean I think it's interesting guys let me know what do you
think do you think it could be that and so did Odin have the last gem after all
so also we see a second Infinity Gauntlet down there where Heller says
it's a fake but it's not a fake Kevin Feige did Ashe you say there was two
Infinity Gauntlet and seen as she's been like locked in hell for so many years
how would she know what's real and what's not
there's a common theory going around internet that there's two Infinity
Gauntlet and maybe three of the stones going one and three stones got any other
I think that's a bit lewd if we first look guys let me know what do you think
the post-credits scenes and meant do you think that's where the soul stones kept
I think I've found to think that I'd I haven't seen anywhere else
I think the soul stone was the flame because she could bring the army back
dead back to life and they were dead and vice versa so guys let me know how did
you interpret eight the post-credits scene did you like the Thor movie would
you like me to do a movie of you I've still got time as them it's not out yet
I would like to review it if there's some interest in the comment section and
where do you think the last soul stone the soul stone is if it isn't the flame
or under the flame or something like that
or do you think it's just gonna be in Wakanda anyway guys please like
subscribe and comment if you want to that would be awesome and I will catch
you in the notification squad group if you want to hit that Bell button down
but that red one and I will catch you in
another video very soon guys catch ya later

the population assumed dead after the prices of drinking water skyrocketed the
rich could afford it
timber since bhai could it be Neptune we did piss him off we did but this is way
beyond them they're still playing with tridents maybe he pulled the plug on the
seafloor no no after all that with the Kraken no that plug is sealed shut
I made sure of it might be a word aliens maybe
Who am I kidding probably then didn't unit look into it
maybe they did look at this who view
what are you doing you said ten percent of the population my mom went dad I got
a sitter okay you can't why not listen time is in flux
what happens today will mold the future I don't know what the chances of it if
you go in there and find your parents dead from dehydration it's fixed and
then you'll ask me to go back and change it but I can't if I change the events
that brought you here you'll never ask me that change those events paradox loop
okay fixed points are being written all
around us right now we have to be very careful about where we tread what we see
and what we do oh boy a Mount Everest is gone why Everest so special about it all
the other mountains are still hid among the first is vanished well it is the
tallest in the world okay biggest Natural Landmark is that it what
would you put it I want to see to myself
there are girls do you taste that that's sort of metal pang in the ellika
I don't know sort of teleport oh you can do the tracking thing just you watch me
you've got a signal come on nitrogen oxygen argon carbon dioxide neon methane
helium Krypton hydrogen xenon and ozone the elements that make up the air a
percentage from each one is missing a new-look is not something earlier
someone's not just taking the water there's some of the gases too I don't
think all of it or blow up the planet no really what I meant take over the TV
like in movies and say humans scum will be destroyed at least you know what the
plan is isn't that basically promoting terrorism
no but but in in a good way in a dare super evil don't feel bad about blowing
them up sort of a way why haven't we been to a proper alien planet by take
you to Scotland I mean a real one where the sky is purple and the flowers spit
slime and you want to go someone like that I mean somewhere really aliens
we're always on earth I travel on the budget is the TARDIS fuel like super
expensive or something something minds
we crap time anchor drop this over a planet and you can throw it along with
it one second out of sync nobody would know you were there why is it called the
pie maker what why is it always a time this or a space that I don't know it
just is sorry I've just confirmed a definite alien threat and you're asking
me what the thing is good the thing what's that shut up don't talk run
taciturn
wait go away
now we're in trouble you're right dude what what's that thing it's called a
taciturn intelligent mute species they don't have vocal chords so they
communicate with sign language did you say go away what I was under pressure I
can't say cool things all the time so
honing us bad Rhona has bad that's really no good
what's wrong I know exactly what's happened to earth
enlighten me the taciturn have been at war the race
called directons it also because they wanted independence but they didn't get
the best way about it how did they go about it they murdered
the entire victim government saint breaks it for more murdery i tried to
stay out the politics
but what does this have to do with earth
at a certain are losing they're running out of armies and funds so in order to
make some quick cash looting ships are sent out to pillage
planets for stuff to sell that ship is universe famous for ransacking thousands
of planets oh so that explains the Dalek on his gun must have forged our dead
dark I suppose if they've stolen from thousands of planets and it's taken four
years to take a fraction of our water gasses and a mountain how old are they
well surprisingly they've only got a lifespan of sixty but thousands of
generations of thieves have been born on that ship and it takes so long because
earth is a big job an illegal job this is the outer space
equivalent of a house break
a planet break
crap
but surely about the time they've finished cutting the planet the war will
be over well I shouldn't think so the returns are doing the same thing
you take minerals and elements and valuable stones in their raw state and
you've got yourself a profit take famous landmarks and species museums will pay a
fortune get your hands on the core of a level 5 planet you can buy 10 armies
money makes the universe go round
doctor
oh I I did sign language at school I think he said Christmas no he said
disembowel
I don't like him no not to you fun to myself oh you've done a thing you always
do that face when you've done something stupid and they have not good what I may
have given the whole planet an upgrade
so now the whole world knows that they're gonna become a taciturn cardigan
yep what do we do the whole planets about to
go crazy unit are gonna get their ass kicked
we have no backup no plan and no way of restoring the earth doctor what do we do
who said that I didn't have a plan what's the plan well improvise that's
like the opposite of a plan even never complained before right I'm going up
what about me you stay here no offense but they're promoting Planet rippers in
your where you're just a human why haven't you installed missiles on the
TARDIS you can just blow them up you know I think you've got issues with this
blowing up thing I can't go around blowing up everything I disagree with
don't you think I would have blown up the White House a few times by now look
we have to be better if we don't at least strive for that what's the point
contact the TARDIS they'll definitely f dematerialization capture detectives
okay Sheldon spot then how are you gonna get out there

Happy SaturNday! The Meaning Of Saturday - Duration: 3:47.
Happy SaturNday!
The Meaning Of Saturday
by Gregg Prescott,
Happy SATURN-day Everyone!
Each day has a specific meaning.
Did you ever wonder where the word Saturday came from?
In addition to the photo, in astrotheology, Saturn is Satan.
In a world where everything is upside down and backwards, it�s also not a coincidence
that religion worships Saturn, aka Satan.
Service To Others Is The Way To Unity Consciousness
Saturn is also known as Chronos, aka Father Time, which keeps us locked into this 3rd
dimensional reality.
The late Jose Arguelles, one of the founders of the Harmonic Convergence in 1987, explored
the Mayan tomb of Lord Pacal.
The most important thing he got out of it is that we are supposed to �live without
time� as much as possible.
Arguelles is also a proponent of the 13 moon (or lunar) calendar while we are still living
in linear time.
Our current Gregorian calendar is out of synch with nature as there are 13 full moons in
each calendar year, yet only12 months.
Additionally, the days in each month vary, which keeps us out of harmonic synchronicity
with nature.
�The Thirteen Moon calendar is an evolutionary tool to assist humanity in the unprecedented
act of uniting itself on one issue central to its complete well-being: time.
The harmonic convergence of humanity on this one issue, combined with the inescapable order,
perfection and simplicity of following the 13 Moon calendar will lift the species as
a simultaneous whole into the galactic timing frequency of 13:20.�
Jos� Arg�elles/Valum Votan, The Call of Pacal Votan
The controllers of this matrix know the importance of time and use this as a tool against us.
Even presidents have master astrologers.
The following is a quote by former White House aide Donald Regan�s book, For the Record
speaking about President Ronald Reagan:
�Virtually every major move and decision the Reagans made during my time as White House
Chief of Staff was cleared in advance with a woman in San Francisco who drew up horoscopes
to make certain that the planets were in a favorable alignment for the enterprise.�
By seeing how the cycles of time can influence decisions by public leaders as well as those
in the shadow governments, we can foresee specific dates and understand the reasons
why many false flags happen on these specific dates.
So, while many people are being �weakend� by drinking �spirits� over the �weekend�,
this gives you a little history and meaning behind the word, �Saturday�.
You can read more about the origin of days and months here:
The next progression of spirituality begins when �time� ends as there is no time in
higher dimensions.
This is when �The Event� happens�when �time� no longer exists.
Until �the end of time,� I�m sending you all love and positive vibes!

وقفة تأمل حال العرب "رسالة من المغرب الى المشرق" - Duration: 6:14.
" O king,
we were ignorant people
who worshiped idols,
ate the dead,
committed indecencies,
break bonds of kinship,
abused our neighbors
and whom our strongest ate the weakest "
This is how Jaafar Bin Abi Talib, one of the prophet Muhammad's -PBUH- companions,
described the state of Arabs before the apparence of Islam.
When disputes between Arab tributes was the strongest never
and when bloody wars have erupted among them
for the most trivial reasons
like the " Basus War"
which lasted for about 40 years because of a camel.
It was the case, until
the prophet Muhammad Bin Abd Allah -PBUH- came
a guidance from God.
He assembeled the rival tribes
and gatherd them into one nation.
There was no difference between a slave and a master
nor between white and black
or Arabs and Ajami's,
except in piety.
On this basis,
the Arab Peninsula was united in one word
which is : Islam.
Then it became a big empire
within a few years.
The Arabs have never dreamt of defeating the Persians
nor of expelling the Roman from Damascus
until they got under the banner of Islam.
After that, science flourished among the Muslims
and became the world's destination
and the source of civilization.
In the same period, Europe lived in pre-civilization.
It steeped in darkness and suffered
from the tyranny of men of the church.
Johannes Gross reported Europe's backwardness in one of his books
and described how it tried animals and insects
and talked about the rooster that was executed
for the infamous and unnatural crime
of laying an egg.
It didn't last forever.
After decades of the prosperity of the Muslim world,
the sectarian conflicts among Muslims started,
which gave birth to many intellectual and political doctrines.
And despite all this, the Muslim world stayed the most civilized
until Europe reached the Renaissance Era.
By the beginning of the 14th century,
Europeans began to develop themselves
by reading and deepening into fine science,
and with there invention of the printing machine,
they were able to spread awareness and knowledge
among their people to surpass Arabs.
This development affected their political system
with the appearance of many democratic systems
after the French Revolution.
They were able to sweep away the world
and to conquer many Arab countries,
especially after the fall of the Ottoman empire.
The industrial revolution and the discovery of oil played
a major role in changing the political map in the world.
This discovery pushed the developed European countries
to enter big and sophisticated wars,
which the Wold War II was the last
and where 60 million people were killed.
The results of this war made the Europeans think
seriously to find a solution for their recurrent crises,
which was the establishment of an alliance
among them that was renamed the European Union.
The EU was able to improve
the economic and political situation
of the allied countries
which number is 28 at the moment.
The Arab countries in their turn,
tried to establish an alliance
to protect them from intern wars
and bring them back to glory.
But they failed,
to continue the Arab divisions
which the division of Sudan in 2011 was the last
However, this division was followed by the Gulf crises
which took place on June 5,2017 and surprised the Arab world
after Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Yemen, UAE and Egypt
cut o relations with Qatar
because of her support of terrorism acts.
According to their statements
Fighting terrorism was the excuse that shaped all of
the global crimes in the recent years
and the Iraq war is the best example.
At the time that the European Union prepares
to develop its alliances by creating a unified army
for all member states,
despite their disagreements and races
the meeting of all of the causes of their separation,
Arab countries which still have the same religion,
history, language and all the causes of there unit,
suffers from divisions and fight each other.
In the light of all this,
we can say that the union between countries
lead to their people's prosperity and success.
Such as Europe Today and Muslims of yesterday and vice versa.
It is more like a description of Jaafar Bin Abi Taleb
for the situation of the pre-Islam Arabs today from yesterday.
" O king,
we were ignorant people,
we worshiped idols,
we ate the dead,
we committed indecencies,
break bonds of kinship,
abused our neighbors
and our strongest ate the weakest. "

The Kubrick Files Ep. 4 - Kubrick's Photography - Duration: 10:05.
Before Stanley Kubrick began directing movies, he was a professional photographer for Look
Magazine. His photos show his keen eye for composition and storytelling. Kubrick had
once said that it was his experience as a photographer that often helped him as a filmmaker,
so let's take a look at Kubrick's career in photography.
On April 12th, 1945, Kubrick was out on the streets of New York City and happened to pass
a newspaper stand. The headline that day was an important one because, it was the day that
President Franklin D. Roosevelt died. Kubrick had just received a Kodak Monitor 620 camera
as a gift and managed to capture the scene of a distraught vendor amongst the newspapers
whose headlines read "F.D.R. Dead." Kubrick liked how the picture turned out and thought
he might be able to sell it to a magazine. He had been an avid reader of several camera
magazines, so he was already familiar with how to go about submitting a photo (Quiz Kid 37).
To his delight, his photo was accepted by a few magazines who were interested in
publishing it. Look Magazine offered more than the other magazines, so Kubrick decided
to go with them. Kubrick was paid twenty-five dollars for the photo and, on June 26th 1945,
it was printed in the magazine (Kubrick Exhibit).
Kubrick would later admit that he had persuaded the vendor into giving him the emotion he
wanted (Kubrick Archive). Kubrick had around nine hundred of his photos appear in Look
Magazine between 1945 and 1951 (Kubrick Exhibit). A lot of these photos were part of assigned
photo essays for the magazine. One essay titled "How people look to the monkeys," had
Kubrick work with the zoo at Prospect Park in Brooklyn. The monkey house had an indoor
and outdoor area. While the monkeys were in the outdoor area, Kubrick [quote] "stationed
himself in the indoor cage with his lens poked through the food slit" so that he may capture
the monkeys with the spectators in the background. Reportedly, the monkeys were very interested
in the camera, but quickly lost interest once Kubrick let them look into it (Quiz Kid 41).
Another essay he did was a series on the New York subway. In order to get these pictures,
Kubrick rode the subway "between midnight and six A. M." This way he could not only
capture less inhibited subjects, but he could show a side of the subway that many never see.
Because the light was too low and because the train rides were bumpy, Kubrick could
only take a photo when the subway stopped. To compensate for the low light he had to
use a longer exposure, which would suffer extreme motion blur if the camera or subject
moved at all during the exposure. He would pick his subject and aim his camera at them
during the ride and when the train finally stopped—
*Click*
For these photos,
"Kubrick used a Contax and took the pictures at 1/8th of a second" with an F-stop of 2.8" (Quiz Kid 152).
He didn't use any extra lighting except for one photo on a flight of stairs
where a flash was used—possibly this one. And because there was such little lighting
on the train, he also tripled the development time to make the photos bright enough. He
said, "I wanted to retain the mood of the subway, so I used natural light" (Quiz Kid 41).
Around half of Kubrick's photo essays are from his own ideas and one of these was a
series of photos in a dentist's waiting room (Quiz Kid 40). Kubrick had visited the
dentist and he noticed the concerned look on everyone's face as they waited for their turn.
No one likes going to the dentist and the anxiety on the faces of the subjects of
these candids is something we can all relate to.
All of these shots were quote/unquote "stolen."
For these photos, Kubrick wouldn't frame the scene, he would let his
medium format camera hang from a strap around his neck and he had a cable that ran to a
shutter control in his pocket. He wouldn't look through the viewfinder—
when he found a good subject, he would just aim his body toward them
and press the button in his pocket (Variety).
Not all of Kubrick's photos were truly candid, however. In one series, he posed a friend
of his with a woman named Toba Metz, for a scene of a couple in the subway. She would
become Kubrick's first wife shortly after these photos were taken.
This would be among his first experiences working with performers to elicit the specific
emotion or mood he wanted to portray.
Another staged photo series—his very first photo series for Look Magazine—show a young
man trying to flirt with a young woman in a cinema. The piece was called "A Short
Short in a Movie Balcony."
Although the photos looked candid, the young man and woman were actually friends of Kubrick
and the cinema they shot in was closed at the time.
Kubrick even had his little sister sit in as an audience member.
Reportedly, he directed the scene by giving instructions
to the young man and the young woman separately. The young woman was supposed to slap the flirtatious
young man, but when Kubrick took her aside, he told her to really slap the young man hard,
which provoked a genuine reaction for the camera (Duncan 19).
Kubrick had several of these photo series published in the magazine and when he finally
graduated from Taft High School, he was offered a full-time job at [quote] "$50 a week" (Vanity Fair).
Kubrick biographer Vincent LoBrutto said, "He always took more shots than he could
use for one of his photo essays and then chose those that were most impressive for use in
the photo sequence. There are no throwaway shots in a Kubrick photo essay; each shot
is carefully composed; he made every shot count" (Kubrick Archives).
It's interesting that this practice—which he has earned a reputation for in filmmaking—started
as far back as his days as a professional photographer.
Kubrick once said about filmmaking, "I do not always know what I want, but I do know
what I don't want" and it's possible that this has a lot to do with his custom
of shooting a lot. The more you shoot, the more choice you have and the more you can
refine what it is you're looking for. Of course, some would argue against the merits
of this exercise, but it seemed to work well for Kubrick.
Within two years of working for Look, he was sent on more high-profile assignments.
One of these was on Frank Sinatra during a trip to Richmond, Virginia. For this series, Kubrick
concentrated more on the faces of Sinatra's fans, which was a great way of capturing just
how adored the singer was (Variety). Another assignment had him photographing General and
eventual President, Dwight D. Eisenhower during a visit to Columbia University (Variety).
One of Kubrick's most interesting photo series was on a boxer named Rocky Graziano—
this was one year after his story about boxer Walter Cartier, which he also made a short documentary on,
but that's a story for another episode.
Rocky Graziano was fresh off a two-year suspension
for [quote] "failure to report an attempted $100,000 bribe" (mcny.org).
He had grown up in the East Village as a hoodlum who was often found in reform schools and sometimes
in prison. He was always a good fighter—in fact he had [quote] "a dishonorable discharge
from the army for punching a supervising officer." He also sold his first boxing medal for $15 (mcny.org).
This series shows both the boxer and the family man (mcny.org). We see him having breakfast
with his wife and kids and we also see him training his body for his big fight. This
essay reveals the unseen moments in the life of a boxer and it also seems to have an emphasis
as the human body as both artistic and utilitarian. The lack of privacy of the male body objectifies
it as a tool, built for fighting and used for earning money.
We can see something similar in this series where a nude female is used as a muse for an artist.
All the while Kubrick practiced photography, he was obsessed with cinema. He would see
everything no matter if it was supposed to be good or supposed to be bad. A friend of
Kubrick's during this time said Kubrick would [quote] "watch a movie when it was silent,
to see how the story was told, and then go back to reading his paper when people
started talking" (Duncan 19). He told an interviewer, "I sat there… and I thought,
well, I don't know a goddamn thing about movies, but I know I can
make a film better than that" (Vanity Fair).
Working on these assignments forced Kubrick to tell stories using only still images, but
it still allowed him to explore the medium. These photo essays don't necessarily have
to show a sequence of events, but can instead capture a setting or event through details,
anecdotes, and spontaneity.
Some photos seem to reveal a character or tell a story in a single photo. Here are a
few of my favorites:
Look at the composition of this shot:
There's a beautiful deep-staging even though this was likely a spontaneous image.
The setting informs on our understanding of the man. He likely runs the business side of a circus.
The low angle – likely to show the high wire – also makes the man look important
and his pose seems to tell us that he is in charge.
And then there's this one:
You can really get a sense of what these kids are like and the setting they inhabit. It
looks like they shine shoes for dimes and then buy hot dogs with their earnings. This
kid near the center looks like a tough guy despite his smaller stature.
These outfits are great.
This one is really interesting:
You can almost feel the movement of this shot. There is a certain tension and claustrophobia
in the setting and it sort of conjures up a feeling of finite time quickly running out,
despite the image being static.
I'm not sure about the last one, but the first two images are part of their own series,
yet these single images say so much. Here are some of the other images in the circus series:
And here are some of the other images in the shoe shine series:
Perhaps Kubrick's biggest inspiration was a photographer named Weegee who also had a
specialty in street photography. His photography has been said to have a [quote]
"noir-ish style—bold, visceral, [and] a little trashy" (Vanity Fair). Here is Weegee and Kubrick
on the set of Dr. Strangelove in 1963. [Kubrick Weegee Strangelove set 1963.jpg]
Looking back on his time at Look Magazine in an interview with Michel Ciment,
Kubrick had this to say:
"It was tremendous fun for me at that age, but eventually it began to wear thin, especially
since my ultimate ambition had always been to make movies. The subject matter of my Look
assignments was generally pretty dumb. I would do stories like: 'Is an Athlete Stronger
Than a Baby?' photographing a college football player emulating the 'cute' positions
an 18-month-old child would get into. Occasionally, I had a chance to do an interesting personality story.
One of these was about Montgomery Clift, who was at the start of his brilliant career.
Photography certainly gave me the first step up to movies. To make a film entirely by yourself,
which initially I did, you may not have to know very much about anything else,
but you must know about photography" (Michel Ciment Interview).

Baby Jogger City Tour Vs. City Tour Lux | NEW 2018 STROLLER - Duration: 4:25.
Hi everyone its Kensi with the Baby Cubby and today we're doing a comparison
between two strollers from Baby Jogger the city tour which retails for $199
and the new City Tour lux which retails for $299 and will launch
in February of 2018
Both of these strollers are considered lightweight compact travel strollers but
there are a few key differences that we're going to show you now so let's
start off with the seat you have a smaller canopy on the City Tour the City
Tour Lux offers a little bit more of a generous canopy it also has an
adjustable footrest on the lux you're not able to adjust the footrest on the
City Tour the City Tour Lux is also a modular stroller so you can turn the
seat from forward-facing to rear-facing and the City Tour is not considered a
modular stroller. The City Tour Lux offers more padding it's going to be a
little bit of a larger seat and can accommodate a child from three months
whereas the city tour can accommodate a child from six months and the recline is
also a little bit different on the Lux you just have a button behind the seat
whereas on the Tour, you're pinching and pulling down the straps
the brake is going to be a little bit different on
each of these strollers as well on the
City Tour you have just your regular foot brake on the back and the City Tour
Lux features a handbrake
The fold is also going to be a little bit different for the City Tour you just
squeeze the handle bar and then pull
really compact as you can see that's great for
travel and the City Tour Lux it's more of a three step fold and you have the
hand strap here and then a strap for your shoulder as well as you can see it
both strollers are going to be pretty compact the City Tour is a little more
compact than the City Tour Lux and the Lux
also stands when folded when the wheels are sideways which is really nice if you
have any questions at this point feel free to comment below or send us an
email at hello@babycubby.com
There is a weight difference between the two
as well the Tour is 14.2 pounds whereas the City Tour Lux is 19 pounds
The way you unfold these strollers is going to be a little bit different as well we
found that the City Tour is a little bit easier to open it's just a matter of
undoing the lock walking out the footrest and the handle and you're good
to go. The City Tour Lux, I recommend pushing the feet out first and then
replacing the handle bar and your seat
Both strollers will come with a travel
bag both strollers fit pretty compactly into their travel bags without removing
the seat or the wheels or anything like that you do have the backpack straps to
carry around the airport with you and remember the City Tour is 14.2 pounds
and the City Tour Lux is 19 pounds I have to say this one is a little bit
heavy on my back
You can also purchase additional
accessories for the City Tour Lux such as a cup holder a belly bar and the
bassinet which you can use from birth you can also purchase car seat adapters
for Baby Jogger Britax Cybex Maxi Cosi and Graco.
Both canopies feature a
peekaboo window on the City Tour Lux it is a magnetic window and on the City
Tour it is a velcro peekaboo window so that's something to consider when your
child is sleeping the City Tour Lux also offers a little bit more of a generous
storage basket on the bottom
Thanks so much for watching our comparison between
the Baby Jogger City tour and City Tour Lux, we love doing these comparisons to

Cooking Minnesota Wild Rice with Andrew Zimmern || Food/Groups The Sacred Seed - Duration: 10:38.
- There are really obsessed people who take all these pictures
(man laughs) of their food
and then playing with it
to have it look. - Got to get
the perfect 'gram, man.
- Right,
#ThrillistMadeMeDoIt.
(upbeat music)
Rice is nice.
It's the world's most common food staple
and while this glorified grass eating is foundational
to hundreds of cuisines in all four hemispheres,
the ingredient by itself is rarely a celebrity on the plate,
which is why we came to a place where it is,
The Star of the North: Minnesota.
Now the Land of 10,000 Lakes is also the unofficial
American capital of wild rice, a naturally occurring
aquatic grass that's knocked, finished, and sold
by Native Americans in canoes whose ancestors have been
doing more or less the same thing for generations.
Now traditionally families from Bemidji to Albert Lee
have come together over bowls of home cooked wild rice
soup and they definitely still do.
But more recently it's also become a go-to hyper local
ingredient for Minnesotan chefs, brewers, and artisans
that are adding dimension to the state's hotdish
and Jucy Lucy food pedigree.
And while legit Minnesota wild rice is expensive,
its role as an edible throughline that connects
Minnesota's pristine past to its modern culinary future
just can't be understated.
Which if you think about it, is pretty wild.
- This has been a way of life for our people for years,
hundreds of years.
- From Minneapolis, we drove north, way north
to meet up with members of the White Earth Ojibwe tribe,
who consider wild rice sacred.
On the reservation, only tribe members are allowed
to harvest it and always by hand.
- My name is Selim Wadena, better known as Sonny Wadena.
We're on Lower Rice Lake area of Rice Lake, Minnesota,
located on the White Earth Indian Reservation.
Our people come from the east, migrated from there.
So when our people decided to come this way, it was because
they were told.
You'll know when to stop traveling west when you get
to where the food grows on the water.
Wild rice, we call it Mahnomen.
It was a gift to our people and that's the way we see it.
The knocker, so he's pulling the rice into the boat.
He's trying to respect the rice and.
- You don't want to break the stalks.
- You don't want to break the stalks, you don't want
to knock the heads off.
- So I'm pulling the rice in and I'm just hitting it,
just scraping it off a little bit, getting it in the boat.
His main responsibility is keeping me busy in the rice
and he's looking for the rice while I'm here.
- And I got to watch how he's knocking because if the rice
ain't over the boat, there's no point in hitting it
so I got to make sure the boat's under the rice.
- That's one of his responsibilities for being a poler.
You got to have clean rice when we sell it, no reeds
in there.
And we try to leave all the rice worms we can.
I guess it helps it somehow.
- No, not at all.
(men laugh)
Adds flavor. - Flavor!
This is kind of tough, tough.
A lot of guys wouldn't do it.
We're losing more ricers each year, but we're trying
to get the younger generation doing it.
That's a tough one.
We have the gaming systems, the smartphones,
and here on White Earth reservation, we have a big drug epidemic.
- Yeah, there are lot of things that are sort of working
to draw the youngest generation away from traditions
like this.
- If we incorporate it in our younger generation
so they can keep it going.
We figure we're not going to be out here forever (laughs).
- we've been lucky that we do have bumper years, these last
few years here.
There was a time where we had
an abundance of finished wild rice sitting on our shelves
and now that we can market it and bring in revenue,
we can't keep in on the shelves,
you know? _ Yeah.
- The experience of waking up early in the morning
in that part of Minnesota, taking the canoe through
the water, knocking the wild rice into the boat
is such a beautiful thing.
- Our journey continued to the Minneapolis kitchen
of a Minnesota super fan who knows a thing or two
about local ingredients.
You might recognize him.
How are you? - I'm great, how are you?
- Thanks for having me.
What do we got going on today?
- Oh my gosh.
Well, fried rice.
- Andrew Zimmern is a culinary explorer
for the Travel Channel.
It's literally his job to travel the world eating
its delicacies and for the last three decades,
he's called the Twin Cities home.
- I'm endlessly pimping everything that's Minnesota.
I think we have so much undiscovered stuff going on.
The wild rice is one of the most important
elements in First Peoples culture here in Minnesota.
This is something that grows naturally, that has sustained
peoples for thousands of years.
You know, let's see what else that we can do with it.
This is my sachet.
I've got some ginger and garlic and scallion in there
and when we cook our wild rice, I'm going to add
that to the pot along with some rice wine
and a little bit of soy so that we get some of that flavor
in the rice itself as well.
We'll throw in our hot chilies.
Those are hot and dried Szechuan chilies.
I like putting the ginger
right into the bottom there.
A little bit of pork for this because we're making
a roast pork fried rice.
My cooking wild rice through a Chinese prism
is just as valid as
a White Earth band of Ojibwe chef cooking this dish
just as a Chinese chef cooking this dish.
I think we need to shine bright lights on this
and illuminate it because it's fantastic
and wonderful and I think the more people that are
making this, the better. - Yeah.
Though cooking is hardly the only thing you can do
with wild rice.
Minneapolis's booming craft beer scene has created
a different demand for the ingredient, a drinkable one.
- I'm Derek Taylor with Lakes & Legends brewing company.
- Andrew Dimery, head brewer.
- We felt we had an opportunity to brew a lot
of different beers using local ingredients.
We start with those ingredients and built the beers
around those and wild rice was on the top of the list.
The farm can coach Andrew on how to treat that wild rice
to make sure the flavors come out.
- It's more of a relationship and that's something
- Absolutely. - That I feel like
you guys benefit not just from a high quality product,
but you feel like you're also getting the insights
that you otherwise just wouldn't have
access to. - Exactly.
- Yeah. - Oh, definitely.
- You get to know the farmers, you kind of feel
the heartaches that they feel if they have a bad yield
or that season, but you share in the good years as well
with them, but you really get to know them
on a personal level.
- To see their face light up when they have a beer,
it's almost a two become one (laughs).
I just made the beer, but they grew the ingredient.
- There must be a sense of responsibility that you feel
working with the ingredient.
- Oh yeah, yeah. - To certain people
in the state, it's a sacred ingredient.
- It's almost like, you definitely respect
ingredients more.
The farmers went through all the work in growing it
and then me, I'm just trying to preserve it
for a little bit longer.
- As it finishes, definitely nuttiness,
definitely earthiness.
And then like, a little bit of citrus.
I would definitely consider it a food beer.
- That's Joe, editor in chief of Growler Magazine
which chronicles food and drink culture in Minnesota.
He showed up to the brewery with a very special
Minnesota snack.
So where is this from?
- Galactic Pizza in Minneapolis.
- How?
What's this got on it? - It's got Minnesota bison,
Minnesota mozz, homemade red sauce, morel mushrooms,
and of course wild rice.
- I've never had wild rice, any kind of rice on a pizza,
much less wild rice with Minnesota, with Minnesota bison.
- So that's what it is, toasted wild rice.
- Yeah, it's amazing.
I love it.
It's like a hearty slice of pizza.
- When craft beer went bananas here, everybody wanted
IPAs, everyone wanted the standards and everyone wanted
to measure breweries by those.
- The gatekeepers. - Kind of standards, right?
Since then, we've had a lot of people
start to focus more on individual styles, niches,
and things like that in the community.
- So as this, the brewing industry and other
broader culinary scene in Minnesota expands, there's going
to be a demand for higher velocity access
to ingredients and higher volume of ingredients.
Wild rice is diametrically opposed to what that is.
- Our growing season is relatively minute
and we're trying to do a lot with that, and breweries,
and chefs, and people in the food and beverage industry
all want to celebrate that and to be able to continue
to celebrate that, we need more producers and more farmers
and more wild ricers and more people like that
that are willing to go out on a limb so that we can
continue to keep these traditions alive and celebrate
these foods the way that they deserve to be celebrated.
- This is fried wild rice.
Oh wow, the nuttiness really comes through.
The wild rice really stands up in a way that a typical
rice might not.
It might be that nutty flavor with pork.
When you start talking about, what else can you do
with wild rice?
- Let's preserve it, let's honor it, let's expand
the opportunities for the people there so that
they can make a living off it.
It's so unique and it's something that is so beautiful
and such a part of our state heritage
and it is magical.
- The food that grows on water.
If there really is any magic to this versatile
grass, it's the ability to keep bringing Minnesotans
back to the table for generations, longing for one more
taste of the wild rice of the north.
