Waching daily Nov 24 2017

Now we're going to start on the wiring.

First let's attach the positive wire on the inverter.

Screwing on the lugs.

Now we'll install the negative wire on the inverter as well.

This is the negative wire for

Volt meter, usb and 12v ports.

We'll be chaining them together.

Mark is measuring the length for each segment.

Now it's time to cut.

We're going to chain the componets

using the connectors.

Let's pull out one of the connectors.

The ring terminal is for connecting to the battery.

taking off the insulation to expose the wire.

Now we'll crimp the connector.

And give it a good tug to make sure it's secure.

Actually, we didn't need to attach this ring terminal.

I'll point out why a little later.

To chain the components

We'll splice to sections and use one connector.

The wires just barely fit in this connector.

I think it would be better to use a larger connector.

Now for the rest of the sections

we cut and expose the wire

insert them into the connector

use the crimper

and repeat.

You can see the negative wire is ready to chain.

The black wire is done (or so we thought).

The 12v meter, 12v and usb ports

all have just two plugs

but the switch has three.

The gold plug Mark is pointing out is the negative.

The middle connects to the power source.

And the last one is the positive.

Now we'll chain the positive wire in the same way.

The positive and negative wires are ready.

Now we'll connect them.

Let's connect the negative wire to the gold color plug on the switch.

It's a bit of a tight fit

but with a good push it goes in.

Now we'll connect the power source wire.

Finally, we attach the positive wire

and the switch connections are done.

Now let's connect the rest.

First we take the positive wire

And attach them to the positive plugs.

We go from the switch to the 12v port

usb port, and volt meter in a chain.

And now we'll connect the negative wire.

After connecting everything

we realized we forgot something.

On the power source wire

we didn't attach a fuse.

So now we're attaching it.

We attached the fuse to the switch.

Don't forget.

While attaching the fuse...

Earlier we mention that

the power source wire attaches to the battery.

But that was wrong.

We're connecting to the solar charge controller.

This is because AGM batteries if they go below 12 volts

it can harm the battery.

The solar charge controller has battery low voltage protection.

This will help protect the battery.

So that's why we're doing it this way.

The negative wire also won't connect to the battery

so we're cutting off the ring terminal.

Now those are my hands.

After watching Mark, I wanted to give it a try.

Now we're installing the wire that goes from the solar charge controller to the battery.

Using the pliers

I cut the red wire.

and attach the connector.

Next I crimp the connector

to finish it up.

And the same for the black wire.

And now the fuse going to the battery.

Now we're taking the wires

and inserting them into the solar charge controller.

Give the exposed wire a twist.

And inserting them in the controller.

I'm doing a good job right?

For the wires going out of the case

We're using hot glue to keep them in place.

For the USB and 12v ports

we inserted a 20 amp fuse.

For the wire from the controller to the battery

We used a 30 amp fuse.

The inverter already has a fuse

So we didn't at an extra.

The inverter is already in the case.

And now we'll place the battery.

First we put down some VHB tape.

Now Mark uses his strength.

We dropped down the 12v 50Ah battery.

We installed the battery on it's side.

This is okay for AGM batteries.

but if you're using a regular battery

You certainly don't want to do this.

And now we'll attach the wires (from the controller and inverter) to the battery.

First the positive wires.

And next the black negative wires.

Now let's turn it on.

Can you see?

The voltage meter and USB LED came on.

Now let's test it.

Take out my phone

and plug it in.

Will it work?

Take a look.

My phone is charging.

And now our DIY battery bank is complete.

What do you think?

Not bad right?

The last sockets are to attach a solar panel.

But it hasn't arrived yet.

Later when we install it we'll be sure to show you.

On our last campervan trip

We took this batter bank with us.

We were wondering how well it would work.

And it work flawlessly.

It's actually really surprising to me but I love it.

For our battery bank

We used a 300W inverter

and a 50ah battery.

We mainly built it for our laptops

So it's a bit on the small size for a camper.

But for others with more power needs in their campers

it would be good to use a much bigger inverter and battery.

If you like the battery bank we made

Show us some love with a thumbs up!

Okay, I'll see you next time.

#VLOG14 - VOL À BORD D'UN VIEUX COUCOU - Duration: 7:54.

Hi everyone!

We are in Capitol Reef National Park in Utah.

It's funny because the other day we were uploading

the last vlog in a coffee

and we met Ruston who came talk to us

because he saw our van from the parking lot.

He immediately offered us to show us around the surroundings

with her wife and his son.

We obviously said yes.

They also have a van. They are just in front of us.

We are following them.

The three of them are sleeping inside this little van.

In this big van.

Here we are trying to find a spot to sleep tonight.

They apparently are taking us to a place known for mountain biking.

His son is a big fan of mountain biking.

So they know the place pretty well.

We are excited to see that.

But we'll probably arrive at night time.

So we'll see you guys tomorrow!

We had an amazing night.

It was very calm. The place is crazy.

It looks unreal.

Have a look around.

They are a lot of motor cyclers or mountain bikers

who come here to practice in the middle of nowhere.

Here are our two vans.

The noise that you can hear is Sam playing around

with his drone. He is filming Jaron

Ruston's son and his bike.

So we are having a perfect morning.

We'll see what we do next.

We just drove an hour to arrive here.

We are in Goblin Valley State Park.

I don't know if you can see well with my camera

but it's again an amazing place.

We really feel like we are on another plantet.

We are going to spend the afternoon here.

So it's our last afternoon with Ruston family.

Because today is sunday so there is school tommorow.

They are going home tonight.

On our side

we'll have to find another place to stay tonight.

And then we'll keep on travellin.

We have so much to see in Utah.

But for this afternoon we'll just hike around here.

It's going to be nice.

We wanted to thank Ruston family again

for this weekend. It was really nice.

And also for the advice about what to visit around here.

Sam and I are so excited because

we are ready to visit the surroundings

but from another angle.

From above and not with the drone this time.

With this little plane over there.

We cannot wait to get in. We'll see you inside.

We just flew for one hour.

We went over crazy landscapes.

Personally it's the first time I do this.

It was quite impressive.

Even if it was pretty stable I was a bit sick.

So I didn't out my camera that much.

But you can see the plane right behind me.

It's pretty small. There are six seats inside.

It's not big. We booked with

Redtail Air Adventures.

So we flew over Monument Valley.

It's funny because it's our next destination.

It's nice to see it from above.

Here we just stopped to use the restroom if need it.

We'll keep on going soon for another hour flight.

It's over for this vlog.

We wanted to thank again Redtail Adventures for this beautiful experience

and the nice opportunity with the little plane. It was so nice.

- Yes! It was great!

We also wanted to show you our camp spot for thonight.

- Yes! At the bottom of this cliff.

It's really nice. We'll sleep well I think.

Even if it starts getting very cold when the sun is down.

- Yes!

New record this morning: -2° Celsius in the van.

And some frost inside the van.

We also wanted to thank all the people that are supporting us on Patreon.

We are impressed. We didn't think about having so many people.

So we are very happy.

It motivates us to keep producing the videos.

Like we said we have so much to see around here.

So it's going to be nice!

We'll see you guys in the next vlog. Ciao!

- Ciao!

10 Ways to Spot An Intuitive Person - Duration: 3:49.

10 Ways to Spot An Intuitive Person

Human intuition is an interesting thing to study.

That "gut feeling" that people describe having occasionally, or feeling dread about

something that is going wrong as it is happening.

Intuitive People, However, Exhibit Much More Of Their Intuitive Sensibilities As Part Of

Who They Are.

Here's How You Can Spot An Intuitive Person:

1 - They Are Optimistic.

Intuitive people can see some rather difficult and painful things happening because of their

intuition, but they don't let that get them down.

If they're able to see the silver lining to dark and difficult events and situations,

they're probably an intuitive person.

2 - They Over-Analyze.

Intuitive people tend to not take things at face value; instead they will analyze and

probe them to death.

They always want to know what's really behind what's been given them, like Dorothy with

the Wizard of Oz.

3 - They're Introverted.

Intuitive people by nature are happy being alone.

They find solitude comfortable and they don't get lonely.

If and when they participate in social situations, it's always on their terms.

4 - They Play Devil's Advocate.

Thanks to their intuitive abilities informing them that there are always at least two sides

to every story, they'll often play up the disagreeable side, just to make the point

of its existence and importance to the situation.

They appreciate the nuances of debate.

5 - They Tend To Be Highly Creative People.

Intuitive people tend to be very creative, and if asked, they will often admit they have

no idea where their creativity comes from, though it does seem to come from deeply within.

They express this creativity in thousands of ways.

6 - They Are Highly Aware Of Their Surroundings.

Intuitive people understand what's going on within themselves, but they also keep watch

on immediate surroundings.

They ofte notice little things that others do not.

7 - They Are Self-Aware.

Intuitive people are highly self-aware and gauge their own capacities constantly.

This can often be achieved by regularly practicing mindfulness.

8 - They Are Empathetic.

Intuitive people naturally attune themselves to others and can often sense when others

are hurting, angry or otherwise upset.

Intuitive people are often others, even strangers, will open up to because they "wear their

empathy on their sleeve".

9 - They Attend To Their Emotions.

Being aware of how others' feel is helpful, but it has to start with you.

If you're not attending to your own feelings and how you are being fueled by them regularly,

you cannot help another person.

Intuitive people have strong awareness of their emotions.

10 - You Have Extremely Vivid Dreams…

And You Remember Them.

Most people remember bits and pieces of their dreams, and that's it.

Intuitive people have dreams that are very vivid and they remember them clearly.

There's some excellent science behind this subject matter, but intuitive people simply

tend to have more vivid dreams and remember them more.

All in all, that's the 10 Ways to Spot An Intuitive Person.

Really cool information isn't it!

CALLING THE WRONG NUMBER | Dolan True Stories - Duration: 8:22.

• From mistakenly declaring your love to a random old man to singing happy birthday

for a stranger, the Planet Dolan crew re-enact some of the best true stories from our subreddit

about our embarrassing wrong number calls.

I'm Doopie and today I'll be your narrator.

Number 10 was submitted by thefakejaiden Zaraganba When Zaraganba was in the eighth grade, he

was secretly in love with a girl in his class.

They spoke every night on the phone.

One night he decided it was time to man up and tell her how he felt.

So he called her and waited.

The second he heard someone answer, Zaraganba blurted out, "I love you!

I've always loved you!"

He didn't hear anything for a few seconds, then an old man with a deep voice said, "Err…

sorry sonny…

You've called the wrong number…"

Zaraganba later found out his crush got a new number, and gave her old SIM card to a

relative.

He really wished she'd told him that before he declared his love to some random old guy.

Number 9 was submitted by awkward_scientists GhostToast

One day GhostToast wanted to call his cousin for a chat.

He accidentally got one number wrong when dialling and ended up calling some old lady

by mistake.

GhostToast apologised, but the old lady was drunk and wouldn't listen!

She thought GhostToast was her ex-husband calling and started hurling abuse at him!

GhostToast decided to hang up, but the crazy lady called back five times just to scream

at him!

In the end, GhostToast had no choice but to block her number.

He made sure never to dial a wrong number again.

Number 8 was submitted by FoxMaster2 Melissa One day Melissa was leaving work when she

noticed she had six missed calls from an unknown number.

Melissa thought this might be an urgent call from her mom's work number so she called

the number back.

A woman answered right away and shouted, "When are you guys delivering that dildo?"

She sounded really distressed, like it was a matter of life and death.

Melissa had to awkwardly explain that the woman had the wrong number.

She later found out why the mix-up had happened: her number was only one number different from

a local sex shop's phone number!

Number 7 was submitted by Xx_Daenerys_xX Pandora One morning Pandora woke up after having a

very sexy dream.

Her first impulse was to text her friend about it, so she grabbed her phone and wrote: 'Omg!

I dreamt I was squirting!'

But when Pandora hit SEND she realised she'd sent it to her mother by mistake.

Her mom sent back a bunch of question marks, so Pandora had to cover by saying 'Oops!

Stupid autocorrect!

It's supposed to say surfing.'

Her mom was not convinced by this lie, so it was a pretty embarrassing morning for Pandora.

Number 6 was submitted by Kryokimi HoneyBits One day HoneyBits was chilling in her room

when her phone rang.

She glanced at her screen, saw a short name beginning with the letter 'M', and answered

it, thinking it was her mom.

But instead of a simple "Hello", HoneyBits answered the phone by saying, "Hey Mom,

did you get my tampons from the store yet?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end…

Then a masculine voice said, "Uh… no?"

That's when HoneyBits realised that it was her crush calling!

He was calling to invite her for a drive in his truck.

HoneyBits went for the drive, but she was so embarrassed she could barely look him in

the eye the entire day!

Number 5 was submitted by Mote-of-Lobross SpinalPalm

Back in the early 2000s, SpinalPalm bought his first camera phone.

Since camera phones and texting were fairly new at the time, SpinalPalm decided the best

thing to do with his new toy was to stick it down his pants, snap a photo of his junk,

and then text it to his friend who was sitting just a few feet away.

Unfortunately he sent it to the wrong contact.

Instead, it went to probably the worst person possible: his psychiatrist!

She cracked jokes about it every time he went in for an appointment.

He was so embarrassed that he ended up changing psychiatrists.

Number 4 was submitted by Lssjgaming Grgak One time Grgak and his friend were stuck on

a really difficult level of Donkey Kong.

Grgak's friend suggested they call the official Nintendo Hotline to get some help, so Grgak

went and grabbed his mom's phone.

Grgak ended up messing up the number and calling a phone sex hotline by accident!

They realised their mistake right away but decided to play along.

Grgak put the woman on speaker and they both had a good laugh about it.

Unfortunately, Grgak's parents weren't very happy about the expensive phone sex charges

on their bill.

That was an uncomfortable conversation for Grgak!

Number 3 was submitted by MEGA_PICKLE Pringle When Pringle was fifteen he felt like catching

a movie with his friend so he found his friend's name in his phone contacts and hit CALL.

No one answered at first so Pringle waited ten minutes then called again.

On the fifth ring, someone answered!

Pringle was about to start speaking when his friend's dad suddenly said: "Listen!

I don't know who you are [pant] but give me another twenty minutes [groan] and I'll

call you back.

I'm balls-deep in the wife right now!"

Pringle was so shocked that he immediately hung up.

He looked at his phone and realised he'd been calling his friend's house phone, not

his mobile!

Six months later, Pringle went to that same friend's house for his birthday.

His friend's dad told an embarrassing story about a telemarketer who kept calling while

he and his wife were having sex…

Pringle kept his mouth shut and never called his friend's home phone again!

Number 2 was submitted by lampent51 Cidius When Cidius was a kid his dad was away a lot

for work.

He was even away on his own birthday!

Cid's aunt decided it would be a nice surprise if Cid called his dad up and sang happy birthday

to him over the phone.

Cid called his dad's number and sang the most excited rendition of happy birthday he'd

ever done.

When he finished singing the person on the other end said, "Who is this?!" in a deep,

manly voice.

Cid thought his dad was joking around so he said, "I know it's you, Dad!"

The caller told Cid he had the wrong number, but thanked him for the random happy birthday.

Cid got off the phone and melted into a pool of embarrassment.

Number 1 – What's my most embarrassing wrong number experience?

DIY Years of Dirt Buildup Gone in Seconds. 3D Bug Remover! Toyota Crown Underhood and Gas Tank Door - Duration: 4:42.

Hi Everyone! I'm Steve with Steve's POV.

This is the 1989 Toyota Crown Junction Produce VIP car I imported recently.

The car is overall very clean and nice...

But similar to my Toyota Starlet, the dirty stained white paint is making me crazy!

With the Starlet I used compound and steel wool to clean those areas up...

I now have found an easier way to do this same type of cleanup!

These are are the areas I am talking about...

A "clean car" shouldn't just clean on the outside...

When you pop the hood, you should never see something like this!

Look at these years of cleaning neglect!

This is not good!!

This type of thing drives me nuts!

Detailing a car must also include areas that you don't normally see!

A friend told me about this product... 3D Bug Remover...

He said it works really well on stained paint like this!

Spray it on your microfiber towel away from the car...

Let's try one small area here...

wow...

wow...

I'm not even pressing hard and look at the result already!

Years of dirt are coming off very easily.

Who knows when the last time someone tried to clean under here...

it's amazing how fast this product works!

This product was a good find!!! I like it!

3D Bug Remover.

I'm not sure if it's available in Japan...

It's intended purpose is to get dead bugs off the car...

But it's benefit seems to go well beyond just that!

This type of work takes time and patience to do, but with a product like this it can be done fairly quickly!

There is another part of most cars that no one ever seems to clean!

Inside the gas door!

From the outside things look beautiful!

But when you open it up...

It's disgusting in here!

This doesn't embarrass you?

You want the guy at the gas station to see this??

This drives me crazy!!

Not acceptable!!!

Let's see how this product works here!

I'm gonna do the top of the gas door first.

Wow! It works fast!

Years of dirt are disappearing!

Wow!

Let's try inside too...

Spray and wipe....

With little effort at all, years of dirt buildup is coming off!

Obviously I need to spend some more time completing the job...

but my point is, let's clean not only the obvious parts of a car...

A clean car is a good feeling...

and the next time you fill up with gas, you will definitely smile too!

Wow, look at how good that looks in there!!

It's a happy feeling!

I don't think I'm the only one who thinks this way!

You too will be impressed with the fruits of your labor!

Detailing is about cleaning areas that you don't necessarily always see.

Give it a try! I guarantee you too will have a smile on your face!

Weekend Reflection - November 26, 2017 - Duration: 2:07.

(soothing music)

- Hello everyone, and welcome to our weekend reflection

brought to you by Spirit Juice Studios.

This week is the last Sunday of the liturgical year.

We see in the first reading from the prophet Ezekiel,

Chapter 34 that God prophetically speaks through Ezekiel

to talk about how He will shepherd His sheep,

and that was all fulfilled whenever Jesus came to earth.

When the word was made flesh,

our shepherd was made manifest before us, visibly.

As we come to the end of the liturgical year,

we talk about the end times, so the end of all things.

So Jesus says, "When I come to judge, I will separate

"the sheep from the goats."

Sometimes we get into this relativistic mindset,

like, well, everybody's a sheep, if you want to be.

But the reality is that when Jesus talks about

what it is to be a sheep, it's all about action.

The sheep are those who go out and they give clothes

to the naked, they visit those who are imprisoned.

Jesus says, "When you did it for the least

"of these, you did it for me."

When we see somebody who is in need, it's an opportunity

to serve Jesus, that's what it is to be his follower.

So it may seem intimidating, as we look at this

when Jesus is talking about judgment,

but judgment is real and it's something we have to look at.

But we do have a merciful and loving shepherd,

but if we want to be the sheep, if we want to be those

who actually follow after Jesus, we have to tend

to the needs of our brothers and sisters.

It's not about what we say all the time, it's not

about the knowledge we have, it's about our actions.

And this Sunday is called "Christ the King Sunday"

because it's the last Sunday of the year.

In essence, it's a bold statement from the church

because we've said all these different things,

we've had all these different Sundays

where we've had different feasts,

but the last and final word is that Jesus Christ

is King of the Universe.

It is the exclamation point of the liturgical year.

Let's seek to follow after him like good sheep.

Let us use our gifts and our talents, not just for ourselves

but to tend to the needy, the poor and the vulnerable.

Το λιοντάρι της Κάντζας. The Lion of Kantza (English Subs) - Duration: 2:22.

Outside the temple of Saint Nicolas at Kantza

under a roofed structure

we see the statue of a lion

The legend has it that during the 10th century

every single year

when the festivities to honor the Saint were taking place

a lion was coming down the mountain

and devoured 3 young women

The citizens became so scared by this event and stopped organizing festivities

till one day

one of them had a dream

of the Saint asking him to know why they stopped their habit

When Saint Nicolas knew the reason

he reassured the frightened man that he would keep them safe

next time and that they should start again honoring his memory

So when the festivities started again and the lion came down to snatch its first victim

Saint Nicolas turned it to stone as well as its younglings that were still at the mountain

Of course this story is purely a fairytale

as this lion

was a tomb memoriam

for the fallen Athenians

of the Pallinidi

battle that took place at 541BC according to Herodotus

or 539BC according to other historians

when Pisistratus

won against the Athenians

and declared Tyranny over Athens

Until a few years ago

it was believed that here were the ruins of the temple of Pallinida Athena

but archaeologists found the in Gerakas , near Cleisthenes street

during a random excavation at a nearby field

But still here we find faint signs of archaeological interest

Marriage 2/3 - Planning your Day - Formal wear, Venues, Cars, Law - Duration: 10:16.

(cymbals crashing)

- Alex, tell us a little bit about your experience,

please, with same-sex couples.

- No problem, so over the years,

we've been part of many same-sex couple's

commitment ceremonies, whether they be pre-wedding shoots,

whatever their needs are.

We are all-inclusive.

We treat everyone with respect, consider their needs,

whatever customs or traditions they have on their day,

so it's a real customisable service for them.

There's no pre-conceptions and no bias towards anyone.

- Most couples are pretty interested in getting

the best value for their, the best bang for their buck.

What are some tips you've got around how to

maximise the value you can get from your wedding venue?

- I think firstly, it comes down to

the kind of wedding that you want.

Go back to your vision for your wedding day.

If you are looking for something that's within budget,

try and find a venue that offers you a lot of inclusions.

That's a really good way of getting value

for your money at that venue, your not having to add

so much in terms of decorations or theming.

However, if you're the kind of couple that really wants

amazing floral chandeliers and floral centrepieces, then

go for it and find a venue that's more of a blank canvas,

that you can really add some of your own character to.

I'd also look at considering your menu options

and your menu choices.

Some venues will offer you the same price no matter what

you choose, so why not go for the more expensive items

on the menu to get a bit more value or bang for your buck there.

I'd also look at the time of year you're considering

for your wedding, Bronte.

So if you're looking at peak season, a Saturday night,

for example, it's gonna cost you

a load of money to secure that day.

If you're flexible and you're happy to look at, say,

an off-peak, potentially winter, potentially Sunday,

or even mid-week, you could save a lot of money there for

exactly the same package you'd be getting in a peak season.

- Have you got some tips for couples around trying to

work out how many people to invite to their wedding?

- The easiest way, elope, run away.

Go to Bali, disappear, enjoy.

Tell them you got married while you're away.

Other than that, escape to a country town.

Daylesford's fabulous.

But we find that, not being flippant, really, about it,

people coming away from Melbourne and having

a weekend celebration for their wedding

is a really good way of limiting numbers

because not everybody can commit to a whole weekend

just to celebrate your day.

So that naturally gets rid of some people.

The other thing is don't let family and friends

pull you all over the place saying you need to

invite so-and-so, they were special.

Make sure that they're people not only witnessing your day,

and your special event, but they are people that are

gonna be part of your life together.

That's the best way to cull numbers.

- These days, I expect that quite a lot of people

would visit your store, have a look at the gowns,

have a look at the suits, and possibly take photographs,

head straight out the door and purchase online.

- Oh, yes, yeah.

- Are there pitfalls associated--

- Definitely, apart from taking photos,

photos taken on themselves as well,

so they come in thinking, sure, I'll try on these styles.

This looks fantastic, take a photo.

They're not necessarily going to get that same shape

on something they see online.

They think they are getting that same shape,

but curves are different, lines are different.

You've also got that service that we provide.

The online purchase is not going to provide that service,

so we do alterations, we customise

certain parts of the dress for you, or a suit.

You're not going to get that online.

Yeah, so it is a very different service, that the customer

does not seem to get, they think sure,

I'll just come in and try on different styles,

know what suits me, get an expert opinion,

and off I go, I've done my homework, I can buy online,

but that just doesn't work.

We get a lot of customers coming in

then wanting alterations to their online purchase.

Very distressing and don't need all that added pressure.

- So, Bec, one of the things that's really difficult

in any relationship is that relationship coming

to an end and that happening in a respectful way,

and a way that works for both people involved.

What advice have you got to LGBTI couples

around how to manage that process?

- Yeah, absolutely.

One of the real, I guess, interesting aspects

about our law is despite the fact that,

at the moment anyway, the law is

not the same about marriage equality.

When it comes to the end of a relationship,

everyone's subject to the same law,

whether you're de facto, married, LGBTI,

heterosexual, whatever it might be.

At the end of a relationship, the law treats everyone

the same, which is always an interesting phenomenon for me.

But, look, it can be a really challenging time for people.

It can be a challenging time if they

have to separate their property.

It can be a challenging time if they

have to make arrangements for their children.

But, look, I think the thing is that a lot of people

have a fear that as soon as they go to a lawyer,

that means that they're gonna be in court for three years

or five years, and spend millions of dollars.

I guess what I always encourage people to do

is go and see a lawyer really early.

It doesn't mean you're being litigious.

It doesn't mean anything has to go wrong.

But I think knowledge is power, and it's really smart

for both people to know where they stand, and then we

always encourage people to go to mediation.

The Family Law Act actually requires people to go to mediation

if they have children before they go to court,

but even if they don't, there's really, as I said,

Bronte, respectful ways that people

can manage that separation, and look sometimes people

do have to go to court.

That's a reality of it.

If they're in a position where they need something urgently

or they just can't agree, then there is judges there

to make those decisions for them,

but as much as possible, we try to help

that resolve before they get there.

- Terry, we're standing in front of this

incredibly exquisite piece of silverware.

Can you talk to us about the place, I guess,

of silverware at Ascot House and the history behind it?

- Absolutely, so the house was built in 1860

by John Thomas Smith.

He was one of the first Lord Mayors of the city

of Melbourne, really colourful character.

He owned pubs, he opened the first theatre,

allegedly owned some not-so-kosher places as well,

and particularly, had this amazing collection of silverware

that he built up from 1860s, 1870s, onwards.

A lot of the pieces were actually used at a dinner

in Government House in Canberra in the '40s

for the then Governor General.

Most interestingly, I suppose, when

John Thomas Smith's family sold the house,

this amazing collection of silverware was boarded up

basically in a cellar underneath.

In the '40s when they were excavating after the Depression,

they found this treasure trove of silverware.

At the time, it was valued to be worth

more than the entire property.

So we've got this amazing collection.

What I really like about it is we can still

use it in weddings today.

When couples are maybe looking for something

that's a bit more historic or

period style, we've got a lot of genuine pieces

that really show off maybe a time gone by.

- So Alex, what are some of the things that can go wrong

on a couple's special day

and how do you go about fixing that?

- It is definitely something to consider,

like with everything mechanical, whether it be

old cars, new cars, even aircraft, things do go wrong.

The main thing is getting the couple to where they need

to go, so we have, there's always backup cars here

on the wedding day, and there's always someone here,

so worst case, if something does go wrong,

communication between all parties involved

and a replacement vehicle will be supplied

as soon as possible to get there.

- Tell us about historic Holyrood House's niche in Daylesford.

What do you offer that sets you apart from

other wedding venues and wedding accommodation venues?

- I think the thing that we've really worked hard to do

is to provide a really personal environment.

So all the professionalism of the big business venues,

but really, it's about styling your day the way you want it

to be, so it's about your original vision.

We're a small enough property that actually is

really actively interested in making that day your day.

Not about us, it's about you.

We just provide a beautiful venue for you to celebrate in.

Easy.

- As a gay celebrant based in Melbourne,

I'm interested in the fact that Ascot House

has a history of catering to LGBTI clients.

Can you talk to me about the approach that you take

with same-sex couples, please?

- I think it's important to actually evaluate your specific

clients, and really offer them a personalised service.

It's about making them feel really included.

It's using the right language, an inclusive language,

rather than exclusive language,

and really looking to their specific needs

and how we can cater to them.

Ideally, I'd love to have individual catered wedding

for every single client that I have.

A lot of the time, just because of maybe choices,

it's people tend to choose maybe quite similar things here,

but in an ideal world, you'd be sitting down with

each client and evaluating what it is that they want

and the best way possible to please them,

and it's no different for the LGBTI community.

Cozy Exoplanet Around Quiet Red Dwarf; We're Losing Our Night Sky; MOND Not Dead yet! - Duration: 12:38.

Hello Space Fans and welcome to another edition of Space Fan News.

In this episode, astronomers using ESO's HARPS instrument find a new Earth-sized exoplanet

around the inactive red dwarf star known as Ross 128; a new landmark five-year study released

this week reveals that outdoor LED light fixtures are having an adverse effect on our night

skies; and a new model of the universe is revealed that doesn't need dark matter nor

dark energy.

A team of astronomers working with ESO's High Accuracy Radial velocity Planet Searcher

(HARPS) at the La Silla Observatory in Chile have found that the red dwarf star known as

Ross 128 has a low-mass exoplanet that orbits once every 9.9 days.

Because of its close proximity to the star, this Earth-sized world is expected to be temperate,

with a surface temperature that may also be close to that of the Earth.

Ross 128 is the "quietest" nearby star to host such a temperate exoplanet.

We've often talked about how great finding exoplanets around red dwarf stars is because

these stars are so plentiful, are so cool and live for trillions of years; and because

of these characteristics, astronomers assume this would give life a maximum chance at starting

and thriving - especially if the exoplanet is close enough to the red dwarf such that

liquid water could exist.

But there's a downside.

Red dwarf stars early in their lives are quite active throwing off enough radiation in the

form of stellar storms and outbursts that it could wreak havoc on any life trying to

form there.

These stars are so active, and an exoplanet with liquid water would be close enough to

it, that they could even blow off the entire atmosphere the planet may have.

These activity levels last for the first few billion years of the life of a red dwarf but

luckily they live for trillions of years, so if life can hold on long enough to get

through that temper-tantrum phase of an early life red dwarf, or if things like atmospheres

and liquid water start forming after that, then things get pretty rosy-looking for the

possibility of life.

Well in this press release, ESO has said that Ross 128 is one of the quietest red dwarfs

they've seen, making Ross 128b pretty temperate.

They don't know if there's any atmosphere yet much less any liquid water (it may not

be in the habitable zone, they don't know yet), so we need more observations, but this

looks really promising.

Here's what we do know from the HARPS observations.

The team found that Ross 128b orbits 20 times closer than the Earth orbits the Sun.

Yet despite this proximity, Ross 128b receives only 1.38 times more radiation than the Earth.

As a result, Ross 128 b's equilibrium temperature is estimated to lie between -60 and 20°C,

thanks to the cool and faint nature of its small red dwarf host star, which has just

over half the surface temperature of the Sun.

By comparison, the closest exoplanet to us, Proxima b is orbiting a really active red

dwarf and is subject to flares that occasionally bathe the planet in deadly ultraviolet and

X-ray radiation.

However, it seems that Ross 128 is a much quieter star, and so its planets may be the

closest known comfortable abode for possible life.

Now here's an interesting factoid: Because of the eccentricity of its orbit in the galaxy,

Ross 128 is moving towards us.

Right now, it is 11 light-years away, but in a mere 79,000 years it is expected to become

our nearest stellar neighbor.

At that time, Ross 128 b will by then be closer than Proxima Centauri b and become the closest

exoplanet to Earth!

Next, most of us are now saving energy by purchasing and installing LED lights in and

around our house and enjoying the energy savings they bring.

Cities and towns around the world have been doing the same thing by replacing high energy

mercury and sodium vapor streetlights with more efficient (and bluer) LED street lights.

While LED's are great in that they save energy, they have a distinct disadvantage

as compared to sodium vapor lights (those are the yellowish streetlights you can still

see all over the place), in that they can't be filtered out easily by astronomical telescopes.

This makes the installation of proper LED fixtures very important.

They need to point straight down at the ground, using a full-cutoff light fixture that prevents

a lot of the light from going up into the sky where it is useless.

Well a five-year study released this week has shown that what appears to be happening

is that instead of using the energy savings by just replacing the same level of mercury

or sodium vapor lighting with LED's, municipalities around the world are just using those savings

to buy and install more lights.

Why is this important?

Outdoor lighting accounts for a significant fraction of the nighttime energy budget of

the typical world city and anyone who's seen this image from NASA of the nighttime

sky - or anyone who's just tried to see the Big Dipper for that matter - can attest

to our disappearing dark skies.

I remember being astonished and grateful this past September when Hurricane Irma can through

Florida and knocked out most of the power in the state, and I looked up and could see

the Milky Way Galaxy in a way I have only seen from the darkest skies in the desert

southwest.

The difference was profound and while you may not think about it much, losing our dark

skies has important health and well-being implications for humans, not to mention the

effects it has on wildlife.

Compared to some of the other things facing humanity, like climate change, loss of natural

resources, shrinking water supplies and all that, this is a problem that can be solved

easily.

Just be careful what kind of light fixtures you install.

Make sure it's pointing down to the ground, where you need the light, not spilling out

to the sides and up into the sky.

Also, don't install more than you need.

Have you ever driven by a car dealership at night?

You can see those things from space!

Why is all that light there and why is it shining up into the sky?

Many gas stations are just as bad.

Many insurance companies know there is a limited correlation between the amount of light installed

on a property and the theft or crime rate.

If light does in fact stop crime, which is debatable, then use the minimum amount you

need to get the job done.

You don't need to show the International Space Station where you are.

If you want to learn more about this problem, as well as how you can help make things better,

I encourage you to check out the International Dark Sky Association, read their materials

and if you can, contribute financially to their efforts.

They are our main defense and tool for protecting our dark skies and perhaps getting more of

it back.

Finally, remember a couple of episodes ago, I told you about the neutron star merger detected

by the LIGO and VIRGO instruments that also had an accompanying short gamma ray burst

that was seen by the Fermi Space Telescope?

And remember I said that the fact that the gravitational waves hit the detector on 1.7

seconds before Fermi saw the short GRB?

I told you then that the fact that these two events, the gravitational waves and the electromagnetic

waves from the gamma ray burst, arriving at virtually the same time after travelling for

hundreds of millions of years, indicated that gravitational waves travelled at the speed

of light.

This also threw some cold water on the idea of MOND, the Modified Theory of Newtonian

Dynamics, which required a change in the way we describe gravitational forces at large

scales.

This is something many astronomers didn't want to do because it screwed up other things

they thought they knew about the universe too, and a great many I'm sure were relieved

by the neutron star merger event.

Well this week it was announced by a University of Geneva researcher that he may have a model

for the universe that doesn't need dark matter and dark energy.

And ,well, it also modifies Newtonian Dynamics a little bit too.

I'm going to try to get this guy in a Deep Astronomy hangout so we can learn more, but

from what I've gathered from the press release, his model departs from the General Theory

of Relativity, of which Newtonian Dynamics is a specific instance of relativity's equations,

by assuming that empty space is invariant, meaning it doesn't change over time.

In general relativity, empty space plays an important role in Einstein's equations as

it operates in a something known as a "cosmological constant", and the resulting universe model

depends on it.

This is the term that most dark energy researchers are trying to find out if it is in fact a

constant or not and helps describe the acceleration of the expansion of the universe.

Sooooo….

This researcher, Dr. Andre Maeder, carried out cosmological tests on his new model, and

he found that it matched observations.

He also found that the model predicts the accelerated expansion of the universe without

having to factor in any particle or dark energy.

In short, it appears that dark energy may not actually exist (according to this) since

the acceleration of the expansion is contained in the equations of the physics.

In a second stage test, Maeder focused on Newton's law.

It is also slightly modified when the model incorporates Maeder's new hypothesis.

Indeed, it contains a very small outward acceleration term, which is particularly significant at

low densities.

This amended law, MOND, when applied to clusters of galaxies, leads to masses of clusters that

are in line with that of visible matter: this means that no dark matter is needed to explain

the high speeds of the galaxies in the clusters.

So, where does this leave us?

Not necessarily back where we started because the neutron star merger was quite powerful

observational evidence and while I don't think it refutes the model by Maeder, his

model does raise some interesting questions.

As I said, I want to get this guy on a hangout and try to learn more.

Science ability to describe the universe is only as strong as the assumptions it starts

with, and Maeder is challenging a key assumption of Einstein: that empty space is invariant.

Sometimes going back to the beginning and looking at where we started is a vital component

to ensuring that our knowledge of the universe is as accurate as we can make it.

I'll keep you posted.

That's it for this episode Space Fans, next week I'll be at the SETI institute attending

an PLANETS Foundation workshop and I'll try to do some live streaming while I'm

there.

I want to acknowledge Deep Astronomy Patreon Patrons who help make SFN possible.

I want to give a special thanks to these guys who's contributions over the last year have

been tremendous.

Also, Kaylee: your DA Mug is on the way!

Thanks to all of you for watching and as always: Keep Looking Up!
