Waching daily Feb 6 2018

Hi, it's Maija here with my February TBR. I'm in the middle of a bunch of books

currently and also I have a couple of books planned that I want to read in

February, so I thought I'd film one of those elusive sorts of Maija Reads videos,

namely a TBR video. So I am in the middle of four books currently, and one of those

is The Raven boys by Maggie Stiefvater. I started reading this and read until

page 185 and things were just starting to happen and the plot was starting to

get rolling, but for some reason I put it down and started reading other things

instead. I would really like to finish this at some point. Then I have been

reading this book for a while now, I started this in November or December.

This is a nonfiction book, The Black Count by Tom Reiss, and it's divided

into three parts and I have read the first two parts. This tells about the

author Alexandre Dumas' father, General Dumas, who worked for the army, and he was

a nobleman who was half black and half white in late 1700s - early 1800s France.

And this is a really intriguing book, because it tells everything that is

happening in French history at the time, like the French Revolution, and also

telling us about Dumas' life. It's at the same time very educational when it comes

to France's history and the history of black people in France, but also I'm very

invested in Alex Dumas' life and I just want him to have a happy ending. I'm also

buddy-reading another nonfiction book, and that is How to Be a Victorian by Ruth

Goodman. I'm reading this together with Kelsey and Rachel, and I will leave a

link to their channels down below, and this is just about the everyday life of

a Victorian, it starts from the morning and goes on until night. And we are

reading a chapter every two days. I am just now in the Getting Dressed

chapter where I have learned a lot about the dress of the Victorian man and woman,

and I also really like how the author goes through the clothes and habits of

people from different social classes in the Victorian times and sort of compares

and contrasts them. So I've only read about one and a half chapters of this, but

it's very interesting so far. And then on my Kindle I am reading All Systems Red

by Martha Wells, which is a science fiction novella, the first in the Murderbot

novella series. And I was planning to read this before the nominations

closed for the BooktubeSFF Awards, but I didn't end up reading it. The nominations

are now closed, so I will still need to finish this one. So those were the books

that I'm currently reading and then I also have a couple of others that I'd want

to start or read this month. And AYearAThon is currently going on this week,

and the theme for that is New-to-You Authors, and I had been planning to start

The Lie Tree by Frances Hardinge for this. I haven't read anything from her

before and I have really wanted to read this one, but since I am in the middle of

All Systems Red and The Raven Boys, I'm hoping to finish at least one of those

before I start this one, so that I don't have too many books going on at the

same time. All Systems Red would also qualify for

the theme, since I haven't read anything from Martha Wells before, but I'd really want

to read this this week. There's also an extra challenge in the AYearAThon, which

is to read a translated work, and I didn't think I had anything for this, but

I actually have out from the library the first volume of... what is it, what is this

called in English... Ancient Magus' Bride. It's just called Velhon morsian or The

Wizard's Bride in Finnish, by Kore Yamazaki. It is the first volume of

a manga series, a fantasy manga series, so this could count for a new author and

for the translated work categories, so I might just read this one this week as

well. And then finally I have a book that I showed you in my last haul video, which

is borrowed from my friend, and that is Odininlapsi by Siri Pettersen,

and this is also a translated work from a new to me author, as it happens, but I

don't think I can start it this week. This is the Finnish translation of a

Norwegian book and there is no English translation, at least not yet.

So this is my February TBR, let me know what you are currently reading, and I

will see you in my next video. Bye!

Visiting Salvador da Bahia with my family - Duration: 5:44.

Hi guys!

This is Mic speaking!

I'm from Denmark, and on this channel I teach English to Brazilians.

Today's video is about a recent trip I made to Salvador da Bahia in Brazil.

I went there with my family at the end of January 2018, and we stayed for 3 nights.

Yes, I haven't mentioned it before, but I have a family of my own in Brazil.

We went to one of Salvador's many shopping malls, called Salvador Shopping, which is very nice.

I think one of the most Brazilian things nowadays is going to the mall.

A huge part of the population go there frequently in their free time, but I find this a bit sad.

I am not very fond of malls.

While it can be nice to go to the mall, it's also very stressful and somewhat "empty" in my opinion,…

...and I personally prefer doing something outside,...

...for example hiking, going to the beach or just having a walk in a park.

During our 3 days in Salvador, we also did a day trip, ...

...visiting 2 islands in the Bay of All Saints just outside of Salvador.

One of them is called Ilha dos Frades,...

...which is located one and a half hours by boat from the harbor of Salvador.

The island is small and has been protected from exploitation by the tourism industry.

No big hotels and resorts are allowed on the island.

One of its beaches has been awarded the "Blue Flag".

The Blue Flag is an ecological label...

...awarded to beaches whose water quality and preservation efforts are exceptional.

Only around 4400 beaches in the world have the Blue Flag.

On the boat there were around 150 people.

What surprised me was that it seemed like most people spoke Spanish, and not Portuguese.

I had never before seen so many people from Argentina and Chile in one place.

The second island we visited is called Itaparica.

Itaparica is one of the biggest islands in Brazil and it has around 90 thousand inhabitants.

The people who arranged the boat trip are very smart.

They took us directly to a big restaurant, which probably is theirs.

So apart from earning money from the boat trip itself, they also earn lots of money...

...from all the people on the boat having lunch at their restaurant.

But the restaurant was actually pretty nice.

It served mainly traditional food from Bahia,...

...most of it containing palm oil, which in Portuguese is called dendê.

I really like it!

For 40 Reais you can eat as much as you want from their open buffet.

This was the first time I went to the Ilha dos Frades and Itaparica,...

... even though I had been to Salvador more than 10 times before.

The first time I went to Salvador was during my first trip to Brazil in 2009.

At that time, I didn't really like Salvador, as it seemed very chaotic to me,...

...very different from Denmark.

And I also didn't speak much Portuguese at that time, so I felt like a real stranger,...

...a real gringo.

I also didn't feel very safe at the Pelourinho for example.

Now, 9 years later, my experience is totally different.

I feel like I understand Brazil very well today,...

...and a place like Salvador isn't strange to me any more.

Salvador is a beautiful city, full of history and colors.

I still don't like it that much, but that's because I personally don't like big cities in general.

I believe that living in a big city is very stressful.

It's not something we as a species are adapted to.

More than 95 percent of our evolution we lived in peaceful natural environments,...

...without the constant stress that cities bring with them.

Of course big cities also have advantages,...

...and many people depend on them for reasons such as work and culture.

But for me personally, it's important to get out into real, wild nature as often as possible.

Anyway, when I visited Salvador for the first time in 2009...

... I never thought I would have a family here in Bahia in the future.

I guess you never know what good things can happen, once you go out into the world!

Thanks a lot for watching this little video about me and family's trip to Salvador!

Please don't forget to give it a like if you think it deserves a like!

Thank you and see you next time!

President Trump Tells NBC to Go Stick It on their Super Bowl Int - Duration: 2:04.

President

Trump Tells NBC to Go Stick It on their Super Bowl Interview Request

President Trump told the far left Trump-destroying NBC to go stick it this year with their Super

Bowl interview request.

It was another good choice by the US president.

We all know they wouldn�t ask about the booming economy or record unemployment numbers

� they�re only interested in the fake news Russia, Russia, Russia witch hunt.

CNN reported:

President Trump has decided not to participate in a Super Bowl Sunday interview this weekend.

�He is not doing a Super Bowl interview,� a White House official told CNN on condition

of anonymity on Wednesday.

Sources at NBC affirmed that their interview requests have been turned down.

But Trump still has an open invitation, should he choose to change his mind, the sources

said.

NBC is televising the Super Bowl on Sunday.

It is traditionally the highest-rated event of the year by far.

A pre-Super Bowl interview with the president has become an American tradition in the past

decade.

When Fox televised the Super Bowl last year, Trump sat down with Fox�s Bill O�Reilly

at the White House.

Bill O�Reilly interviewed President Trump last year before the Super Bowl

Inside A Weed Training Program For California Convicts | Direct From With Dena Takruri - AJ+ - Duration: 5:13.

It's 2018 and recreational weed is now legal in California. It's no secret that up until now,

the war on drugs - and specifically on marijuana -

has unfairly locked up a disproportionate number of people of color.

In an attempt to right those wrongs, the city of Oakland has mandated

that half of all weed business permits go to "equity applicants,"

or people who are low income and have a cannabis conviction,

or who live in a neighborhood in Oakland that's been a major police target.

So now, established weed businesses like this one, called Nug,

are training these folks to become potrepreuners.

Careem Robinson is learning the business of cannabis, and at the end of his training,

he'll get his own 1,000-square-foot greenhouse. He says this opportunity saved his life.

Two years ago I was ready to probably jump off a bridge.

- Really?

And I believe in God and stuff, but I'm saying I had no hope at all. And I definitely didn't have no plans that

I would own my own business and I grew weed before, but never like this. So I'm really excited.

Careem qualified for the equity program because he lives in an East Oakland neighborhood

with a disproportionately high number of cannabis-related arrests.

Now, he's preparing to profit from a business he was once criminalized for.

Is this is the clone?

Yeah.

We are going to put the clone of the weed plant in the soil.

Exactly.

So I'm planting a marijuana plant.

The plants grow in what's called the veg room, where they get 16 hours of light a day.

When they're ready to flower, they're taken to the bloom room.

Go that way?

Yeah.

We set them up in a certain position, like dominoes basically. One, then one, then one, then one.

So I put mine here?

Put yours right here in the middle like that.

What happens is it starts budding and when it starts budding, these white hairs, they start turning brown.

That's how you know it's mature. This is where the money,

or where the good stuff is made, at the top, not at the bottom.

So, this is the good stuff right here. It's ready, almost.

Almost, almost.

The plants are left to dry for two weeks.

You guys use straight up hangers.

Real hangers yeah. And you see there's different colors because there's different strands.

Then trimmers remove the buds by hand.

This right here is where we keep our weed, our award-winning Premium Jack and other strands.

These are the pounds. You can take a look at them.

Every bag is a pound.

Every bag in here is a pound.

This is a pound of weed right here.

It's all different kinds of strands.

Oakland's statistics show how people of color like Careem have been unfairly targeted in the war on drugs.

The city's population is 31% white, 30% black, and 30% Latino.

But in 2015, black people made up 77% of cannabis arrests. White people made up only 4%

even though studies have shown that both groups use marijuana at the same rate.

I've seen police, well, they came and they said they were coming for weed

and they chopped down all our plants and took me to jail and they put me on probation

for three months, I mean, three years.

They use weed as a gateway. So, now we don't have to have probable cause to stop you.

You're on probation for weed. We stop you.

And why are they targeting you?

'Cause I'm black and I'm in Oakland.

Now that weed is legal, white entrepreneurs who have not been policed for cannabis

have found an immediate leg up.

Oakland's equity program is trying to correct the racial disparity by encouraging

businesses like Nug to take on equity applicants.

In return for each applicant, Nug gets a general permit that could help them expand their business.

Nico Enea is the CFO of Bloom Innovations, the parent company of Nug.

He helped select Careem and the other equity applicants.

We are giving them fully automated, state of the art, light deprivation greenhouses.

They will have those greenhouses rent free for three years.

In addition, we're giving them $10,000 for start-up funds.

It's rewarding to see, and finding that right individual like Careem,

who appreciates the opportunity and wants to capitalize on it.

How much could he be making soon?

In excess of $100,000.

Other cities in California are following Oakland's lead in making the marijuana industry more fair.

Los Angeles, San Francisco and Sacramento each have their own equity programs.

If you were able to give a message to the city of Oakland, which we know has targeted people of color

and are now trying to sort of make amends with this equity program,

what would your message to Oakland be?

That they need to support the equity program more, so more people like me can get a chance

because when the other people are supporting this thing then they could look at me and just say,

"Well if it happened for him, maybe it could happen for me."

Basically, I got a new start. I'm 40 years old, and at 38, I didn't have nothing going for me.

I have hope now and I do have things working in my favor.

Who is Sheriff David Clarke? – Senior Advisor of a Pro-Trump Super PAC | NowThis - Duration: 5:13.

I don't dial 911.

I will afterwards to say, "come get this dead guy out of my house,

"he's bleeding out and he's messing up my carpet."

That's David Clarke.

Clarke is now spearheading a pro-Trump super pac,

serving as its spokesman and senior advisor.

Although Clarke is a registered democrat,

he hasn't met a conservative policy that he doesn't love.

Folks,

we are talking about a new level of stupid from the American left.

[Applause]

Clarke's career in law enforcement began in 1978 at the Milwaukee Police Department.

He was a patrol officer for 11 years and then became a homicide detective in 1989.

He was gradually rising up through the ranks of enforcement.

In 2002, Clarke was appointed as the Sheriff of Milwaukee County, Wisconsin,

a role which lasted 15 years.

During his tenure as Sheriff, he quickly reserved a seat under the microscope

after sparking up an array of different controversies.

In 6 months, 4 people in his Milwaukee jail died, including a newborn baby—

this prompted an investigation led by Milwaukee County auditors.

He's the lead character in a B- action movie.

Clarke's lack of leadership and responsibility showed.

In July of 2016, a newborn baby died at the Milwaukee County Jail after the mother was forced

to give birth on her cell room floor.

The mother alleged that when she tried to notify guards that her water broke,

she was laughed at.

Her suit claims she was not taken to the hospital until six hours after the birth.

After Clarke's jail shut off the water supply to a man's cell for 7 straight days,

he died of dehydration.

His death was ruled a homicide.

The suit alleged that, "By April 23 he was too weak to yell or bang on his window.

After hearing six days of testimony, the jury found probable cause that 7 of Clarke's

employees had committed a crime.

And when she gave birth to her child, she was constrained by shackles.

Charges were dropped as the guard pled no contest to lesser charges.

But instead of acknowledging these allegations, Clarke sidestepped his way out of accountability

and into the national spotlight—

stumping for Trump on just about any station that would have him on.

I'm encouraging blacks—they've got two choices:

I'm just encouraging, it's their vote.

Either vote Donald Trump, like he said, give him a chance—what do you have to lose?

Or stay home.

Clarke's views stretch from believing Planned Parenthood should be renamed "Planned Genocide" to believing that

There is no police brutality in America, we ended that back in the 60s.

He sparred with Don Lemon over the black lives matter movement,

a movement that Clarke once said was forming an alliance

with the Islamic State to destroy America.

This anti cop sentiment from this hateful ideology called black lives matter

has fuelless rage against the American police officer—

I predicted this 2 years ago.

It's clear which side of the aisle Clarke is on.

He was invited to speak at the RNC where he was greeted with several applause breaks

from espousing his notorious red meat rhetoric.

Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to make something very clear:

Blue lives matter, in America!

[Applause]

But those are just his <i>thoughts</i>.

In a radio ad, Clarke actually urged people in harm's way to,

instead of calling the police, simply just fight back.

With officers laid off and furloughed, simply calling 911 and waiting is no longer your best option,

you can beg for mercy from a violent criminal, hide under the bed, or you can fight back.

Aside from using racial slurs against a CNN commentator,

Clarke took on the entire black community in general.

Let me tell you why blacks sell drugs and involve themselves in criminal behavior,

instead of a more socially acceptable lifestyle.

Because they're uneducated, they're lazy, and morally bankrupt.

With this resume, he was allegedly offered a job in the Trump administration.

The DHS never confirmed that, but it didn't matter.

Things fell apart after a report surfaced that the Sheriff had plagiarized parts of his master's thesis.

He said he wasn't going to take the job that was maybe offered to him.

Clarke's approval rating was steadily declining.

It hit 31% before he ultimately resigned from his post in August of 2017.

Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke has resigned, effective at midnight

and that announcement came late this afternoon.

Clarke is now heavily involved in a pro-Trump super pac,

although he isn't cashing government paychecks like he had hoped,

he has become a staple in conservative media and a main mouthpiece for his President.

It doesn't look like he's going anywhere but up.

3 Most Common Mistakes all Beginner Triathletes Make Swimming - Duration: 7:34.

- Mornin', trainiacs.

Great swim, eh Chris?

- Uh, what part?

- The whole thing.

- Oh, yeah, for sure; yeah, absolutely.

- Totally good.

So gang, I felt like basically a brand new swimmer there.

According to the watch it was 3600 meters,

more like 3000 meters.

That group is fast...

So considering how much of a noob I felt like

it got me thinking, in between holding back barf,

what the three biggest mistakes

the new triathletes make when they start learning

how to swim.

And I got some simple fixes for 'em.

As always, just a wealth of knowledge here, gang.

Alright guys, inside; it's really cold.

Minus 19 Celsius.

Plus windchill.

Windchill is like, is just really cold.

So, this question came up over the weekend

in the Trainiask Podcast,

that I was recording episodes for yesterday.

And the question is,

"What are the most common swim faults

that new triathletes and swimmers make in their first...

Somebody said in their first few months,

but I look back to when I first started swimming;

I was making these mistakes for three years,

and essentially not making any progress.

And then, when I changed these habits,

I made a huge amount of progress

in just a matter of two months by stepping back,

entirely changing the approach that I made.

And I went from having somewhere around

a 14:40 sprint distance swim time to,

I think I got it as low as an 11:30.

And, I didn't swim any more; I didn't swim any longer.

I just changed how I was swimming.

These three mistakes are things that, odds are very good,

that you might be making.

The number one biggest mistake is...

I need some room for this.

It is, as you're swimming,

you're lifting your head to breathe.

And that's natural, because we wanna get

up to the air...

Water's down there; air's up there,

so we wanna lift our head to breathe.

What happens is, as we lift our head to breathe,

our legs go down, because our body

is like a seesaw in the water

because the fulcrum point, the middle point,

is our lungs which has all the air.

And what you wanna do is when you're swimming

to get your breath, instead of lifting your head,

you just wanna turn your head, think of your body

like a pig that's being roasted and you're turning

along the long axis, and when you turn that way,

water is gonna cascade around your head,

and you're gonna get a little pocket of air right there

that you can grab, instead of having to lift your head

all the way out to grab that air.

And the drills that you wanna do

to learn how to do this properly

are things like the corkscrew drill;

drills that teach you how to float across the water,

and once you're floating across the water,

then you just need to turn to grab that breath.

Now the second most common mistake is just working too hard.

It's approaching the swim the same way we do all sports:

Football, soccer, baseball, running, biking.

The concept that the more we push, the harder we go,

the faster we're gonna go,

doesn't apply in swimming really at all.

Look at any masters swim group

that is large enough to have multiple lanes.

You will see extremely fit athletes, in the slow lanes,

and you'll see very unfit athletes in the fast lanes.

And that's because swimming is far more about technique,

reducing drag, body position, body awareness

than it is about fitness.

And I think that the drills that you can do

to actually change this mindset

are learning how to calm yourself down in the water.

So you're doing things like sink-downs,

you're doing things like putting your hands

on the side of the pool, putting your face in the pool,

it's calming yourself so that you don't get into the water

and all of a sudden you've got

that adrenaline pumping through your veins,

and you're like I gotta go, I gotta go!

It's learning how to bring your heart rate down,

and learning how to be calm, and treat it more like yoga,

tai chi, things like that.

Third biggest, most common problem that I see

literally almost all triathletes making;

I made it, I'm sure you're making it...

We got to pay the bills a little bit,

and thank the sponsor for this video.

Health IQ.

If you've been around for a few weeks

you know that Health IQ has been sponsoring the podcast,

and a couple of videos here and there,

and I am so onboard for letting Health IQ

get in front of you.

- (mumbles)

- And the reason for that is

Health IQ is a life insurance agency

that they have structured their company in such a way

that triathletes, former cyclists, runners, vegans,

basically us, the people that take care of themselves

can get as much as a 25 percent savings

on their life insurance.

And being a former investment advisor,

that used to grate my cheese that people like me

that used to take care of myself.

We would have to pay basically as much as the

burger and fries, sitting-on-the-couch guy.

I was essentially subsidizing their life insurance.

That is not the case with Health IQ.

Totally onboard with them.

If you want to get a quote and see if you

can actually save on your life insurance,

go to HealthIQ.com/Teran.

Or, if you end up just calling in,

mention the code word: Teran,

and that lets them know that you came from here,

and helps us out.

And if you read through a bunch of the old comments,

you'll know that we already have

a solid handful of trainiacs that have outright messaged me,

and they're like, yeah, I saved a ton of money.

It's legit.

Now the last, most common issue that a lot of

new triathletes go through when they start swimming,

is just swimming.

When you start swimming, even if you swam as

a younger person, like you went through

don't drown level one, don't drown level two,

it's going to be completely foreign to you.

We spend all of our day upright, in the air,

and all of a sudden we're expected to be horizontal,

face down in water.

And people will go in and they'll just start swimming,

and swimming, and swimming, and swimming,

and you're not going to make any progress,

as a swimmer or triathlete, if you just go in and swim,

because you're not focused on getting comfortable,

and all the techniques.

So what I would recommend to every single triathlete,

is before you go and join a masters program,

or go and just start swimming on your own

and thinking that you're going to be building up endurance

and getting better as a swimmer

just by putting in more time.

Spend a bunch of time doing drill work in the pool,

getting comfortable, building the foundations

to become a good swimmer, and I can guarantee

that if you spend even just as little

as two months doing that,

you're going to save yourself years

of swimming in circles.

Thank you to Health IQ.
