Waching daily Feb 6 2018

If there's one thing I learned over the course of 2017 it's that not everything is

going to turn out as planned. In fact, that's usually the case, and

that's exactly why you should expect the unexpected!

Life is full of goofy mistakes caused either by others by external circumstances or by us!

I spent the previous months struggling through financial, medical, technological

health, and emotional issues I've endured running out of food...

"I literally just made this pasta with the last ingredients I had in my refrigerator"

not having enough money to pay rent, having worrying symptoms and

needing to cancel trips that I had desperately wanted.

Okay, today is not my day, it's not my day!

I've experienced a cat eating my charger,

"Complimentary of Zora!"

My laptop being unusable, crashing my very expensive drone into a tree and having

to pay some guy big bucks to go fetch it!

"Really frustrating day..."

I've gone through a few anxiety attacks in which my body decides to do what it wants

and my mind forgets to put it under control

Like many others, my plans have changed,

my thoughts have evolved and my goals have shifted

in order to not go crazy during this constant need to adapt

Some go through life imagining the bigger picture,

envisioning the type of future they strive to have,

planning everything perfectly in order to reach their goals

Others spend heaps of their time wanting to focus on aligning all the small details

making sure every little thing goes exactly as planned

I know people who relentlessly look for more

because they're never satisfied with what they have

and I know others who conform and never look to change or grow

because they've simply found their comfort zone

At the end of the day, most of us are after the same objective:

to try to be happy with what we have, and what we do, and who we are.

But, sometimes our mouths fill with endless complaints about

what we should be able to do to control the uncontrollable or

change the unchangeable.

We think if we plan and we schedule and we improvise

and we hope to be an exception to the inevitable, but in reality,

we should expect the unexpected

Not everything will go our way all the time! In fact, we might go through lapses where

everything, absolutely everything seems to be going wrong!

Sometimes it'll seem like you're all alone

even when you're surrounded by those who love and care about.

Sometimes it'll seem like you're the most special person in the world

and you'll wonder, "How did I get so lucky?"

Sometimes you'll feel like you formed the perfect bond with someone you met

and you'll realize that you have to say goodbye sooner or later...

"Bye, bye!"

"See you!"

Sometimes you'll feel like you're just meeting one

more stranger and end up with a friendship that lasts a lifetime

Sometimes people will let you down

when you thought they were there to lift you up.

Sometimes people will hurt you

when you thought they were the ones that would protect you from harm.

In my case, I have found myself constantly battling

with the notion of, "It could be worse"

or sometimes "Others are going through an even deeper hell

than I am, so why should I complain?"

I try to do this without a complete disregard to my own problems

because I realized that, no matter how small the issue, it's my issue and that

And that makes it important and that means it matters!

I matter!

You matter!!

Your issues are your own and that's why, at the end of the day,

you're the one who decides how much weight

you're gonna let it have in your life

I urge you, though, to not make a storm in a teacup!

It's not the end of the world! It may feel like it but

you're strong and you'll get through this

Now, I'm not asking you to downsize your problems

or compare yourselves to others that have it worse

to make you look past this issue, this matter that you're going through.

All I'm saying is that the uncontrollable is just that:

something out of your hands!

if you can deal with it in some way or another, DO!

if you can't, get over it and little by little, you'll learn to conquer the world!

But, hey! Be prepared! Things will go wrong,

people will hurt us,

money will drive us,

we might have to face our deepest fears

but I'm sure we'll figure it out!

Yeah, we'll have our bad days and we'll also have our good days!

Something I've been witness to over and over and over again,

is that what determines whether a day was a good one or a bad one

is simply how you react to every situation that comes along

I've traveled to many countries,

many cities,

I've met a lot of people!

At times I was on edge while meeting some of them

because I didn't know what to expect from them...

I encountered so many amazing surprises!

If I hadn't given them the chance to surprise me,

I wouldn't have they're very valuable friendships today!

I wouldn't have learned the priceless life lessons they've taught me,

I wouldn't have opened my heart and my mind to new possibilities!

After every bad thing that happens to us,

we start building this wall, a barrier from harm!

we lay down brick by brick all by ourselves,

and then we complain about why we're stuck,

why we can't make friends, why we couldn't achieve our goals,

why we can't love the way we want to love,

why we can't be loved the way we want to be loved

Yes, life can be crazy, but

I say we stop complaining and we start embracing it!

Easier said than done, right? But, hey, after all you'll never know

what this insane world has prepared for you

if you don't break through those walls!

Meet new people, try new food, step on to new land, swim in different waters

and when you're asked what you want to come out of that,

may it serve as a reminder to simply:

expect the unexpected!

Drift Corvette - Race Ready intake manifold, nitrous lines, & chopping the rear! | Field Prep Ep 11 - Duration: 15:56.

- I made these and

I dropped one down there.

(beep)

Now I got my little welding wire fishing line

and I'm gonna try to fish the piece out the bottom.

(upbeat blues music)

(piece lands) Success!

What up, guys?

I'm Matt Field, professional formula drift driver'

(engines revving)

Execpt that...

Was my Twenty-17 car.

This year, we're building a Twenty-13 Chevrolet Corvette.

Welcome to Field Prep.

Something really exiting is coming in this week.

The intake manifold from Nitrous Express.

It's all direct-port, plumbed, perfect.

Ready to drop on and I can't wait to see it.

I'm gonna mess with the fuel-cell again.

I'm sure you guys are tired of seeing it.

I'm tired of messing with it

but I need to put my aim fuel pressure sensor

in the top of the fuel tank so I can see

what the pod pressure is inside of it.

I'm gonna do some stuff like door opening cables

'cause you gotta be able to get outta the car

and the Corvette door-handles are kinda crazy.

Drill some bulkheads.

Slam some stuff through the firewall, mess it up.

Then we're finally gonna move to the back of the car

where I'm gonna do the fuel-filler

since I got the dry-break from Fuel Safe

and I know where the fuel tank is placed.

I'm gonna get the fuel-filler line up to the dry-break

and then, I gonna finally start working on

my rear frame-rail section cause I'm ready to chop that off.

I'm so tired of looking at it.

This is how you open the door on a Corvette.

It's kinda strange because normally,

the mechanism is on the door itself.

Like in there, on almost every other car but on a Corvette,

the mechanism is on the actual chassis, the release.

So the door handles are an electric pop-button

that works the motor in here.

But I'm not gonna have any of that.

This is how actually get out of the car.

So what I'm gonna do is attach this

to the outside of the car, right up here on this b-pillar

so that you can open the door this way

to get in and out.

But I don't know how Formula D is gonna feel about that

because the rules state that we have to have

a pull-cable inside the car.

A way to get in and out.

No more reaching out of the car to try to open it.

But Chevy's pretty cool.

It gives you this other release.

I don't even remember where this thing was.

It's a pull-cable just like you would do

on a door to get ina and out.

So what I'm actually gonna do is

weld some tabs off the cage

here and here to hold it,

so when I do wanna get out of my car myself,

I just reach in and pull on this cable.

I have some little pre-fab tabs.

Then I'm gonna drill these things out,

put some 5-mil hardware in here,

weld it to the cage

and then my release will be done and we'll be legal.

(upbeat blues music)

Needed to round out that tab a little bit

so that it sits on the door bar properly.

So we should be good.

Fit em up in the car.

Drill out the pieces, tack em on.

So I've got it tacked on.

I'll just be sitting here, bam bam bam.

And you can see, there's the cable in there.

It's doing everything it needs to do.

Simple.

Just taking this off.

I'm gonna weld it up.

Something simple but efficient still takes so much time.

I have to drill and tap for a fuel pressure sensor

'cause we're putting a fuel pressure sensor

to see what the two fuel pumps are doing inside the tank.

Some other tweaks and trims

and messing around with the fuel cell,

so might as well take it out and do it now.

This is where the two fuel pumps feed into

and then this is where the 10-psi relief valve is inside.

I'm gonna have to take this apart

so I'll show you guys some more,

but I basically need to figure out

where that pressure sensor is going to go,

because I wanna see what's going on inside here.

So this is an aim zero to 150 psi pressure sensor.

You can see, a super-small, compact..

This is actually gonna go to our dash,

which is gonna data-log the fuel pressure back here.

Up at the front of the regulator,

The Holley is going to data-log what's going on

and what's actually going on, going into the engine.

It needs to know that,

this needs to know this.

Trying to figure out where I wanna put this sensor.

I've had the gas tank in and out like five times.

Can't decide 'cause I have to think about

how I'm gonna be tightening the fittings

when I put it up in there for the final time.

The vent's the farthest away,

then the feed, then the return,

so I have to figure,

OK, I need to tighten one, then the other, then the other,

but if I put this in the way,

I'm gonna make my life Hell.

I've found, That's what building a car

is kinda all about.

Trying to think about how

you're gonna screw yourself and avoiding that.

You gotta try to think four steps,

five steps ahead so if you say:

"If I put this right here,

"am I gonna screw myself in the future?"

You can see that there's a lot going on.

This is the vent.

This is the feed.

This is the return,

Fuel pump wiring, and then, the fill.

I think if I sneak it around back right here,

and it will fit, I'll still be able to tighten the fittings

through this little hole in the chassis, right here.

One, two and three and this will be able to stay,

and stay out of my way.

I think I got it.

Just gotta pull it apart and see,

make sure that's within the perimeter of that pressure pod.

Forgot there's nuts on the inside.

Need a wrench!

So you can see what's inside of this pressure pod now.

You can see the two tubes that fill from the fuel pump.

You can see the pressure-relief valve on this tube,

when that the actual overflow,

or return on this pod.

You see the sump pick-up which is down here,

and that's where this pick-up tube goes down to.

It looks like my mark's gonna be right inside

of where the pressure pod is gonna be,

so I think we're good.

So I got the fuel cell top plate all done.

You can see here I got my pressure sensor in.

I changed out for a dash 10 pick-up.

I had to trim this down a little bit too,

for the fuel filler to be the right hight.

And then other than that,

it's ready to go back in.

Got the pumps in the tank.

These fancy fittings from Waterman to go back in there.

I'm gonna go ahead and put this back on shortly.

Hook up the fuel lines to it

and then the fuel cell is done.

Hopefully this will be the last time

that it comes apart, for a year.

I got something pretty exciting in today.

The spare fast lsxr 102 intake manifold,

but it's all plumbed up for the

direct-port nitrous from Nitrous Express.

Yeeesssss!

So we chose to go direct-port this year

because its just that much more consistent.

You know that each and every cylinder

is getting the same amount of nitrous,

and Nitrous Express does a great job of plumbing this.

I was thinking about trying to do it myself,

and then when I looked at their website

and saw how nice they do all of this,

I'm like ya "mine's never gonna come out that nice.

"Might as well let the pros do it."

So these are their two nitrous solenoids,

'cause we're doing a dry set-up,

so you notice that each one of these

fogger jets has only nitrous in,

'cause we're adding fuel with the fuel injectors.

And this is their purge.

So this purge set-up allows you to get the nitrous

all the way up to the solenoid

so that you know there's no air in the system.

And we'll run this purge out

the hood or out back, or whatever.

I'm trying to figure out where to have

the nitrous line come through the firewall.

So I have my bulkhead fitting.

Trying to figure out what I wanna do.

I know Nitrous Express really likes you to use the "y".

I kind of initially thought that I was gonna

use a "t" fitting on the firewall,

like behind the intake manifold,

and then have two single lines run up here and here.

But now that I got the "y" and I see how it's all laid out.

Looks actually really good.

Since all my bulkheads in the firewall

for any kinda fluid or anything is right here,

thinking about right here,

and then running it up on top of these,

and then sneak it right in there.

I think that'd give me the most room.

I just welded the bulkhead in,

like I had all the other fittings.

So now everything going to the firewall

is coming through right there.

You can see where I just welded that.

I'm gonna put the bulkhead back in and then

at least the front side of the

nitrous bulkhead stuff will be done.

I just got these battery lead bulkheads.

Since the battery is in the back underneath the car,

we have to find a way to get it into the car

to power the p.d.m.s, power the e.c.u.,

power the starter, the alternator, all that stuff.

So the battery is gonna come from the back, there,

through rear firewall with one of these,

come inside the car then to get through the front firewall,

I've got another one.

I'm gonna mount it right here.

So that makes the lead coming from the battery post

to the starter and to the alternator as short as possible.

I decided to go with the bolt-in style

versus the screw-together style 'cause on the S14

I had a couple of issues with the battery post

turning when you tighten it,

or the backing screw backing out a little bit.

And every time,

if you've got a freshly painted firewall or something,

you gotta tighten down on the rear bulkhead nut-thing,

you're gonna scratch something, regardless.

So this is just a simple 2-bolt style.

Goes right through there.

Gotta drill a one inch hole with the hole-saw,

and then bolt it in.

Go ahead and do it.

This piece came with nuts but

they were just standard nuts and non-nylock.

I figured since it's not real big hardware,

it's like 10-32,

that I would ditch that,

get a 5-mil nut that's a nylock and put it in here,

since the whole car is metric hardware.

All the rivnuts, everything is all metric,

so I wanna try to continue that.

This was bought from Painless

so it's got a standard hole size

that the nut jams in there so that it doesn't twist,

so you don't need to get tighten,

you know, get through both sides of the fire wall.

So I'm just gonna go ahead and press these in here,

and then I'll have metric nylock nuts in the bulkhead.

Maybe I hit with hammer, first.

(falsetto) Perfect!

(gravelly) Oh, money!

Got the battery bulkhead done in the firewall.

Looks pretty good.

I might have to trim this back a little bit.

This looks a little long,

but I'll know once I start stacking

my battery cables on there.

I'm kind of an idiot, though,

and I just continued to drill with the hole-saw this way,

and it totally splintered the firewall.

Hopefully they can clean it up in the body shop.

I have something pretty cool and interesting here

that I just purchased.

This is a CARTEK battery isolator.

Normal battery isolators are those big on/off

killswitch that you have,

that Formula D makes us mount it up in the right side cowl,

by the hood, fender hood area, whatever.

And they're always just big and clunky

and battery cables running to it, and obnoxious,

and I was thinking there has to be a better way.

There's a better way.

A much more expensive way but definitely better.

So this is a solid-state battery isolator.

You basically run this in-between the negative post

on the battery and your ground on your frame rail.

So instead of going right to the frame rail,

you come to this, and what this does

is it actually cuts the negative battery cable

instead of cutting the positive

like most people do with the battery switches.

So this allows you to de-power the whole car

so none of the car has power.

And it has a place for your battery negative,

battery positive and then your e.c.u. or your ignition.

This will kill your e.c.u. power,

which will shut everything off,

and then it also disconnects your ground from your battery,

so it's completely done.

Got your kill outside and your on/off inside.

I got this from Pegasus.

Awesome if they have it in stock

because this is a U.K. brand.

Its all F.I.A. approved, so it's sick.

I'm just pumped that somebody had it,

and that I figured out that there

was something even more bad-ass

than just the regular "ka-chunka" switch.

Made myself a mount for this.

I'm gonna weld this right up next to the battery,

underneath the car where I can get to it.

I was gonna just bolt it to the frame rail

but the frame rail's all round there,

so I made a nice flat panel

so that I can bolt this to it,

weld that to the car.

This is where it's gonna go.

This is the battery so the battery cables are

gonna be able to jump right to this battery isolator.

Tack it in and then I'll weld it all up .

(funky bass line)

We have the dry-break placed,

with the plate and all that stuff.

It's good to go, in the quarter-panel.

I'm gonna go ahead and make this portion of it.

That side already goes, it connects about right there

so I'm gonna make this portion,

fit in whatever straight we can possibly fit.

And then we're gonna couple it right in the middle.

So I'm gonna go ahead and start getting my bends together,

weld some stuff and start building it.

So it's been kind of an inconvenience

to get from here to here.

Much more than I would have thought it was going to be.

There's not a lot of room to get tight, down in here.

I actually had to trim this back.

I got crazy angles cut into these pieces.

I think it's gonna work.

Just trying to manage all these pieces all at once.

I'm lucky that Ry is here to help me hold up,

watching the inside or else

there's just no way I'd be able to do it.

Got the first piece tacked together.

You can see that's a crazy shape.

I'm trying to not pie-cut things

'cause I just hate that.

I hate doing pie-cuts but it's so tight up in there.

It has to drop down and up and everything, so.

You can see what we got going on.

It's a bit of a mess.

Alright, this thing is going in.

Hopefully it all fits together.

That one goes in, that one's mounted over there.

(falsetto) Woooooo!

I have this piece of box tube, three by six.

I need to get it to fit in here.

There's no use in having all this back here,

especially in a drift car.

We want as much crush room as possible.

And the rule book states that

as long as it's behind the rear-most

suspension mounting point

which is right here at the sub-frame,

you can chop that off.

Probably gonna be cutting it somewhere in here,

but I won't know until my panels

and everything show up from H.G.K.

'cause kinda wraps around and

mounts right at the end of the frame rail.

So I just need to get this fit,

get ready for that stuff so that when it does show up,

I can drop this in and basically be good to go.

I'm just gonna clean it up,

grind the edges a little bit,

get it to slide in and then

I get to wait for the carbon/Kev-lar bits to show up.

I made these for the top of the frame rail, here.

You can see it's gonna go like that

and tie the frame rails all together here,

and I dropped one down there,

which is normally not a big deal

because you just take the piece out,

but the piece set perfect and everything right now.

So now I got my welding wire fishing line,

and I'm gonna try to fish the piece out the bottom.

(beep)

(piece lands on floor)

Success!

Alright, I'm gonna try not to do that again.

Alright, I'm gonna go ahead and tack these in.

Alright, it's tacked.

Might as well just weld it while it's right on here,

then I know it's not gonna warp or anything,

and I can tap it flat.

Still sitting flat.

Now the box-tube has a stop when I go to get it in there.

There's no point in leaving it in now, though.

I might as well just take it out

'cause I'm gonna have to figure out fitting everything el-

I guess I can leave it in, I don't even know.

I just want the carbon-fiber pieces, already.

The car is gonna end up getting cut about right here,

and my plan for it is that I'm gonna cut it flush, here.

I'm gonna get a piece of metal.

I'm gonna get it laser cut or something with the holes in it

Four holes, basically for a bash-bar

and that plate's gonna go around this frame rail,

but also come into here,

so that it ties this frame rail

further into this box tube as well.

Since it is a bash-bar, it's going to take a hit,

so I'd like to try to spread the load across it,

as much as possible.

And that plate that's also gonna have

the nuts and everything welded in it,

where the bash-bar bolts

coming into here is gonna really help that.

You have no idea,

I can't wait to cut the back of this car off.

I hate it.

It looks like some stuff straight off of a train track.

That's the same material

that they build train tracks out of, I'm pretty sure.

President Trump BLASTS 'Little' Adam Schiff For 'Illegally Leaki - Duration: 4:16.

President

Trump BLASTS �Little� Adam Schiff For �Illegally Leaking Confidential Information�

President Trump blasted �little� Rep. Adam Schiff (C-DA) Monday morning, branding

the House Intelligence Committee member one of Washington�s �biggest liars.� The

President also called out Schiff for illegally leaking confidential information.

�Little Adam Schiff, who is desperate to run for higher office, is one of the biggest

liars and leakers in Washington, right up there with Comey, Warner, Brennan and Clapper!

Adam leaves closed committee hearings to illegally leak confidential information.

Must be stopped!� tweeted the President.

Schiff has long been suspected of leaking key details of Donald Trump Jr.�s hearing

before congressional investigators last year.

Trump Jr.�s attorney, Alan S. Futerfas, has called on Congress to crack down on suspected

leakers.

In a letter sent to Congressman Michael Conaway (R-TX), Futerfas, called for an investigation

into leaks from the House Intelligence Committee, suggesting the individual who leaked the false

WikiLeaks story did so knowingly.

�Republicans suspect that the staff of Rep. Adam Schiff, California Democrat, leaked the

erroneous �scoop� to CNN.

They say his staff regularly leaks, with CNN being a favorite, with a spin that is not

accurate,� wrote Rowan Scarborough of The Washington Times.

Not only is Schiff accused of leaking confidential information to the media, but legal experts

believe he may have recently published classified intelligence about the FISA memo last week.

As the Washington Examiner�s Steven Nelson noted, the California Democrat �cited two

specific examples of alleged inaccuracies,� in the memo.

�The Majority suggests that the FBI failed to alert the court as to Mr. Steele�s potential

political motivations or the political motivations of those who hired him, but this is not accurate,�

Schiff said in a statement.

�The GOP memo also claims that a Yahoo News article was used to corroborate Steele, but

this is not at all why the article was referenced,� added the California Democrat.

Were these two revelations classified?

Washington Examiner reports:

Steven Aftergood, director of the government secrecy project at the Federation of American

Scientists, said it�s possible those refutations reveal classified information.

�In the abstract they could be problematic since they go beyond the official public record�

in describing classified documents, he said.

�But under current circumstances, it is hard for me to imagine anyone objecting.�

[�]

Mark Zaid, an attorney who has worked many national defense cases dealing with the handling

of classified information, also said it�s possible the Schiff release reveals classified

information.

�At first blush I would have some concerns about the details in this statement as to

whether it crosses a classification line, but it is possible Rep. Schiff, having had

access to the underlying classified information, knows these points are in unclassified paragraphs,�

Zaid said.

�So much of these back and forths about the memo are in a gray area on classification.�

Democrats have fought hard to paint the memo as a hyper-partisan piece of propaganda aimed

at discrediting the �Trump-Russia� collusion investigation.

Nobody worked harder to keep the memo classified than Schiff.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - 5 Things We Know - Duration: 3:17.

Fallen Kingdom is almost here and we've been keeping you update on everything Jurassic!

We've gotten a couple trailers now and today's video will dive into 5 things we now know

about Jurassic World Fallen Kingdom

5 It's gonna give the parents nightmares

The movie is definitely going to be the scariest and darkest yet.

The second trailer opens up in a little girls bedroom, my first thought was is this a dream,

err nightmare?

By the end of the trailer, we clearly see that this is actually happening as Owen storms

into the room.

Many of the clips feature dark scenes with this mysterious new dinosaur...speaking of

that

4: The indoraptor is confirmed We've talked about this hybrid raptor a while

back and this is the best glimpse we see of this new dinosaur.

It's definitely a hybrid, as it's arms are incredibly long, something we've never seen

before in Jurassic Park.

The beddroom scene is the stuff of nightmares as we see it step into the little girls room

tapping it's claw, it's definitely some form of raptor but bigger with way more teeth.

Which brings us to our next part.

3: Why is this dinosaur in a kids room?

It seems like the Jurassic World is taking the same steps it did with The Lost World

when some idiots thought it was smart to bring dinosaurs to the mainland and open a park

there to civilization.

Clearly Ian Malcom is against it, as he's suffered through enough dinosaurs rampaging

through the streets before.

Does no one ever learn their lesson with these dinosaurs?

Obviously this new dinosaur escapes and is trekking through neighborhoods and Owen has

to hunt this thing down.

Again, pretty similar to The Lost World when Ian had to chase down the T-Rex and lead it

back to the ship.

"I want to show you the future" not a good idea...

2.

Blue is back to save the day Blue who hasn't been seen since that epic

fight between the T-Rex and Indominus was featured in the first trailer as Owen returns

to the Island to try to become friends again with his little buddy.

In this trailer, we clearly see that their relationship is healthy and blue is ready

to protect Owen from that deadly new hybrid.

1.

What's gonna happen to the island?

There is a huge volcanic threat to the island and we don't know how extensive it's going

to get but we do know they are sending in people to take the dinosaurs out.

We don't really know where they are taking these dinosaurs but we do know everyones favorite

T-Rex does get captured and tranquilized only to wake up inside it's container, will the

T-Rex make it off the island?

Will the island get completely destroyed?

It's a bit sad to see the original Jurassic Park island get destroyed but this is clearly

their plan to move the franchise to a new location for good, sadly it may end up with

all of us getting eaten.

Will dinosaurs rule the world once again?

We will have to wait and see when Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom smashes into theaters

on June 22, 2018.

MINIMALIST PACKING: 2 Weeks in Europe - Duration: 3:25.

Hi everyone! Today I'm going to show you how I pack my suitcase for a two-week trip to England and Spain.

Some of you may recall that I went on a similar trip last year, and I'll link that above.

This year it's going to be a little different because I'm flying on a different airline that has weight restrictions for the carry-on baggage.

I am packing carry-on only so that means I'll just have to bring a little bit less.

I'll show you how I pack my suitcase as well as my travel clutch,

which I use while I'm on the airplane. If you have any tips on how to pack light

feel free to leave them down below in the comment section.

First we have three sweaters and two shirts.

In the next packing cube, we have my lounge pants, a stool cardigan, some jeans and four undershirts.

In this cube, we have seven pairs of underwear four [pairs of] socks, a pair of mittens, and a hat.

In the clear toiletry bag we have shampoo, toner, jojoba oil,

my brushing oil,

cleanser,

homemade natural deodorant, and a little bit of shea butter.

In this bag we have a pair of black boots.

Then I'm packing a kabuki brush, blush, shine powder, mascara,

concealer, floss,

tongue scraper and toothbrush, a hair tie, my Ruby Cup,

safety razor (in that bag), and then an ayate washcloth.

My hairbrush and some supplements,

my Lady-Comp,

and a hair turban for the shower.

In the small wallet I have some of my important cards,

pair of sunglasses,

and a canvas bag.

Here's the clutch I use on the airplane. I'm gonna put in my phone and my passport.

a face mask, a handkerchief.

There's an extra pair of socks that I like to wear only on the airplane. And in here I'll put my eye mask,

Some earplugs and lip gloss,

and my headphones. I use this bag around the airport

and I also put it in the seat pocket in front of me while I'm on the plane.

Here's my travel outfit,

travel shoes and the outer layers I'll be wearing.

How to Get an Extension on Your Opening Bonus | Tips & Tricks to Help Meet Your Minimum Spend - Duration: 4:21.

Hi there, it's Ernest from Trip Astute. In this video, we're discussing the dreaded

minimum spend deadlines to earn opening bonuses on you credit cards, and some

tips on getting an extension from the issuer.

(light chiming music)

One of the most difficult aspects

of the points and miles hobby is trying to meet the minimum spend when you open

a new account. For example, some of the premium travel credit cards have

spending requirements in the four to five thousand dollar range, which isn't

always easy to accomplish. In fact, we did a video a while back on some tips for

meeting your minimum spend, so definitely check it out if you're looking for some

creative ways to do it. However, sometimes it's just not possible to meet the

minimum spend requirements in the time period. Maybe you have a sudden emergency

or life change, or perhaps it's an issue with cash flow. Whatever the reason, I

recently learned that it's possible to ask for an extension on your minimum

spend deadline. And what I found interesting is that issuers seem pretty

willing to accommodate folks, especially when they were proactive about it. So

today, I wanted to run through some tips and tricks on getting an extension and

meeting your minimum spend requirements. Number 1: Understand when you're

spending window starts. This is a common misconception and a reason why folks

might not meet the minimum spend in time. A lot of folks reasonably assume that the

clock starts as soon as they receive or activate their card. However, it actually

starts as soon as you are approved. So if your minimum spend deadline is three

months or 90 days, you might actually have only 75 days to complete it since it

often takes a week or two to get your new card in the mail. Number 2: Spend

more than the minimum spend. I've totally been guilty of this one in the past. I've

tried to spend up to the amount required and then stopped thinking about it since I

had met the deadline and requirement. However, I then realized that the annual

fee that was charged did not count toward the minimum spend, even though I

calculated it as part of the spending. Also, things like refunds, cash advances, or

other fees do not count, so it's definitely worth carefully calculating

the amount and also spending more just to create a little bit of a buffer.

Number 3: Contact the issuer. The general consensus online is that it's best to

call the issuer in order to request an extension. However, you can also use

secure messaging and chat channels to contact your issuer. I personally

recommend calling though because I think it's easier to explain your situation

and more personal. It might be my perception, but I think it's easier to

deliver bad news over writing rather than having to tell the person over the phone.

I honestly think the odds are in your favor if you're able to speak to someone

about it rather than just having them send you a message. And this leads me to

number 4, which is be sincere and polite. I recommend being fully honest

about why you may need the extra time and explaining why you may or may not

make the deadline. Maybe you didn't realize that the annual fee was already

charged or perhaps you didn't expect to receive a refund on an order. Whatever

the reason might be, just remember to be honest and polite. As with a lot of

things in life, and especially with travel, your approach and demeanor can

really affect the treatment that you receive. Number 5: Keep records of your

application approvals. Whenever I apply for a card, I'll take a quick screenshot

of the offer that I'm applying for and save any messages regarding the

application and approval. This can really help if there are any issues or

questions on the timing of the offer. Also, I track all my credit cards in a

spreadsheet. For more information, check out our video on the topic and download

our free Google Sheet template. Number 6: Don't wait too long to call. If

you're close to the deadline or even just passed it, call the issuer. You don't

want to wait months after the deadline to ask for the bonus, or an extension. In

this case, it's definitely better to be proactive rather than reactive. Do you

have any experience with getting your minimum spend deadlines extended? If so,

any questions, let us know. If you enjoyed this video or found it useful, please hit

What Is The Flyby Anomaly? Why Spacecraft Aren't Where They're Supposed to Be - Duration: 8:52.

For the longest time, spacecraft operators were puzzled by the Pioneer anomaly, the strange

thrust that was slowing spacecraft down as they journeyed through the Solar System.

That anomaly was finally solved just a few years ago, but there's still another glitch

in our understanding of spaceflight, and it happens every time a spacecraft does a slingshot

around a planet to get a speed boost or course correction.

It's called the flyby anomaly.

Before we get into the flyby anomaly, let's talk about the Pioneer anomaly.

You might have heard of it, but not realized that it was recently solved.

The Pioneer anomaly was first discovered after NASA's twin Pioneer spacecraft had reached

20 astronomical units from the Sun, about the distance to Uranus.

When controllers on Earth communicate with the spacecraft, they know precisely how quickly

they're moving thanks to the Doppler effect.

Even a slight difference in speed, like even a few millimeters per second, is detectable.

They know exactly how fast they're going.

Which makes it surprising that some mysterious force was decelerating the spacecraft.

They weren't as far out into the Solar System as the laws of physics would predict.

Researchers first noticed the anomaly in 1980, but didn't start looking into it seriously

until 1994.

Scientists proposed several ideas to explain the anomaly, including dark objects in the

Solar System that might be tugging on the probes.

Of course, if that was the case they would be detected by their interaction with other

asteroids and Kuiper Belt Objects.

Or perhaps the spacecraft were leaking gas unexpectedly, although, it was strange for

them to be having the same deceleration.

Of course, some researchers wondered if they were seeing entirely new physics, like a fundamental

misunderstanding of how gravity works in the Solar System, or changing definitions of time.

It got pretty weird for a while there.

Researchers came together to form the Pioneer Explorer Collaboration, and met several times

to try and get to the bottom of it.

In the end, the answer turned out to be heat.

In 2012, Slava Turyshev from NASA's Jet Propulsion System produced a detailed study

that showed how electrical current flowing through the spacecraft generated heat.

Because the spacecraft were both pointing their main antennae back at Earth, they were

experiencing a deceleration in the same direction.

Just photons emanating from the Pioneer spacecraft could explain the deceleration.

It's like walking at night with a flashlight, and getting slowed down by the force of the

photons pushing you backwards.

Very subtle and a fascinating discovery.

Got that?

Okay great.

Well, the flyby anomaly on the other hand, is totally unsolved.

But researchers have some ideas, and again, some of them are pretty strange.

Researchers first realized there was something going on with NASA's Galileo mission.

This Jupiter-bound mission was carried into space on board the space shuttle Atlantis

in 1989.

This was shortly after the Challenger disaster, and for safety reasons, NASA decided to change

the upper stage that would boost the spacecraft out to Jupiter.

It used a lower powered booster known as the Inertial Upper Stage which would take it on

a series of flybys to get the trajectory it needed to reach Jupiter.

When Galileo did a slingshot past Earth in 1990, researchers detected that the spacecraft's

velocity had increased by 4 mm/s.

Now, that doesn't sound like much, but it's enough that it was detectable.

Here's where it gets weirder.

On its next flyby of Earth in 1992, no anomaly was detected.

Same spacecraft, same planet, no anomaly.

When NASA's Near Earth Asteroid Rendezvous spacecraft flew past Earth in 1998, its velocity

changed by a much larger 13 mm/s.

Cassini gained a fraction of a millimeter per second, and Rosetta gained almost 2 mm/s.

Oh, and NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft had no anomalies during its flyby.

And guess what, it happened again with NASA's Juno spacecraft on its way out to Jupiter.

In a paper published in November 2017, a group of Spanish researchers calculated that Juno

is off its expected velocity by about 1 mm/s depending on the point of its orbit around

Jupiter.

So, the flyby anomaly comes and goes, without rhyme or reason, and this is really puzzling

to astronomers.

And when astronomers get this puzzled, the exotic theories come out to play.

And we'll talk about what could be causing the flyby in a second, but first I'd like

to thank:

Howard Amos Bjørn Karlsen

Epyx911

And the rest of our 796 patrons for their generous support.

If you love what we're doing and want to get in on the action, head over to patreon.com/universetoday.

All right, let's get into some of the ideas that could be causing the flyby anomaly.

The first idea comes from the fact that the Earth isn't a perfect sphere, it's actually

an oblate spheroid, a squashed sphere, flattened by its rapid rotation.

Furthermore, the Earth has different densities, mountains, oceans, ice caps, etc.

As the spacecraft fly past the Earth, they could be experiencing a different amount of

gravity depending on exactly which features they're flying past.

The problem is that there are spacecraft orbiting Earth all the time, and you would expect them

to be experiencing the flyby anomaly as well.

Perhaps it's the configuration of the Moon or other planets in the Solar System during

the flyby, or the positions of the ocean and the state of the tides during the exact moment

of flyby.

Although the Earth's atmosphere is tenuous at the flyby altitude, there could still be

enough atmospheric particles to affect the trajectory.

Maybe the Sun is causing it, hitting the spacecraft with different levels of solar winds during

each flyby.

Or even just different levels of photons.

Perhaps photons of heat coming from Earth, are bouncing off the spacecraft and giving

it a slight course correction.

Some even more extreme ideas think that it could come down to relativistic effects.

Maybe the rotation of the Earth is causing a distortion of the spacetime around it that

changes the trajectory.

In order to study the predictions of relativity made by Einstein, scientists are proposing

the launch of a new spacecraft called STEP, or the Satellite Test of the Equivalence Principle.

STEP was selected a mission to study by the European Space Agency back in 2012, and if

finally selected would fly to space by 2024.

It's only job would be to study gravity.

The most sensitive measurement of gravity ever made.

The spacecraft would orbit the Earth with an incredibly accurate clock on board.

Shielded from the Universe's radiation it would be free to watch gravity.

It could be able to sense both the gravity from the Earth and the gravity of the Sun

to a sensitivity of 1 x 10^-7.

It would also be able to test a prediction made by Einstein called the weak equivalence

principle.

He said that any local non-gravitational experiment in a freely falling laboratory is independent

of the velocity of the laboratory and its location in spacetime.

STEP will be the most freely falling laboratory every built, and should be able to test this

equivalence to an accuracy of 10^-15.

It'll follow an orbit that carries it through the various flyby distances that spacecraft

experienced the anomaly.

If the cause is gravity, STEP should be able to show exactly how the magnitude of the effect

changes over distance from the Earth.

So, STEP will be a boon to the study of gravity, but as a side effect, it should be able to

figure out what's going on with the flyby anomaly.

Let's hope it eventually launches.

ESA's BepiColumbo spacecraft will be launching for Mercury in 2018, and will do a flyby of

Earth in 2020.

This will be another chance to study the flyby in detail.

This time, astronomers will be ready and making very careful observations.

Perhaps they'll finally figure out what's causing the flyby anomaly, and maybe the mystery

will continue on for decades to come.

Well, have you got any ideas?

This is still an unsolved problem, so go ahead and suggest your out-of-the-box ideas.

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

We compare and contrast the new rocket engines in the works from NASA, SpaceX and Blue Origins.

How Fast Are You Moving? - Duration: 5:08.

Hi there. Hello. I'm Jake. It is great to see you I

appreciate you. I'm trying to buy time so I don't have to say this first website

url because it's a little bit weird

But Hannah is making me say it.

So I will.

pleasetouchme.com.

That's a DONG, something you can do online now guys.

On How Fast Are You Moving, you can see...how fast you are moving.

For example, tectonic plates move about two inches per year so if you've kept the webpage

open this long, then you have moved this far.

You can measure your movement in other ways.

The Earth is spinning at 1,000 mph so you don't have to stay on the page long to move

a pretty significant amount.

Alright I guess that's it...WRONG. Because that's not it.

Because according to The Multiverse Theory, our universe moving relative to all other

universes would cause you to have gone this far in the amount of time you've been on

the page.

Ahh boy do I love moving fast. Almost as much as I love sharing YouTube video links on

ChannelSurfer.club.

All you do is copy and paste the link into this box here.

If you'd like to add a description you can do that as well.

"Black holes are awesome.

#DONGlife."

For that hashtag circle life check out

Fit Circles.

The goal is to gain points by popping bubbles.

You do this by touching two of the same color.

If you find a free-standing circle you can click it to make it grow.

This might be necessary but is not often possible because when it gets crowded most of the circles

are bound by something.

When you get 100 points proceed to the next level.

The difficulty increases due to the extra colors.

And with so many colors it can be hard to identify those random pills you find on the

floor of your car but thankfully

Poison Pill ID can help you out.

If there's a code on your pill you can enter it here or here.

But if it doesn't, select the shape and color.

If you don't see the color of your pill you can select "other color"....but there

are no pills that match this so not sure why it's even an option.

If you think you know the name of the medication you can enter it in here and make extra sure

by seeing the picture.

Now let's sPILL the details on your favorite cities with

CityData.com.

Data was collected and analyzed from a variety of sources to create detailed profiles for

cities in the United States.

You can categorize the data by schools, neighborhoods, assessments, and even restaurants.

Once you find the city you've been looking for like Los Angeles you find out things like

the estimated median household income in 2016 or median resident age or the percentage of

males and females.

For a similar but more visual version of this DONG check out this

Everythingabouthere.com, which was recommended on Twitter by @metablazingkin.

Or metabol...

metabol...azing kin.

metabolizing king...kin.

Or meta...metablazing king

Or metabolizing king. Or

M-e-t-a-b-l-a-z-i-n-g-k-i-n

Instead of scrolling through a bunch of locations just allow it to access yours.

When you do, it will show you elevation, or the fact that I'm not currently on water.

And then there are a bunch of pie charts that look consistent with the last DONG because

there are still more females than males.

There's even a chart for languages spoken at home.

But it's not time to go home because we're Lookingatsomething.com which is a website

where you can make it rain by dragging your mouse down.

You can change up the direction of the precipitation by moving it left and right. WHOA!!!!

And if you want it to be sunny and daytime take your mouse to the top.

Listen to the cute little birds.

Now listen to the scary thunder.

OHHH!!! OHHH!

If that thunder scares you don't worry just hide in your cube...out.

Which is a really complicated and cool version of tetris.

It has the added challenge of extra ways you can rotate.

Using Q, W, E, A, S, and D plus the arrow keys you need to fit the blocks together.

But since your only view is from above, it can be difficult to see what you're doing.

And trust me when I tell you

Levers is not as easy as it looks either. Even though it looks like it was made for a toddler but like a very smart toddler.

Your goal is to balance the weight.

You may have to rearrange it and let the things splash into the ocean but eventually you will

feel balanced and leveled and zen and oh my gosh I feel amazing.

Links to all the DONGs can be found in the description below and if you need more DONGs in your life there's a playlist

right here, filled with all the DONGs Michael and I have ever shared.

Now I'm gonna do something a little different here. I'm gonna talk about my father

who you might remember from a previous DONG where him and I hosted.

Well he mainly hosted it. I was kinda there for flavor

But he's a lovely man and he has this company that he works for. They just launched a product

that I'm really excited about and I wanted to share with you. It's called Philo

And Philo is TV on the internet basically. I'm sure you've seen a lot of services like this

But this one's dope because it's like 16 bucks a month. You can do 7 day free trial I believe. You don't have to put in a credit card number or anything.

You just sign up for it and they send you a code to use it.

But it's really neat. I'm really proud of him for it. Again there will be a link down there so you can check it out if you want.

Good work dad. I know you watch all of my videos and I don't think you knew that I was doing this so yay!

I hope you love me still. And as always, thanks for watching.

A New Way to Move Tiny Spacecraft | Electrospray Propulsion - Duration: 4:41.

[ ♪ Intro ♪ ]

We humans have become pretty good at sending things to space.

But once a spacecraft is up there, moving it around can be trickier -- especially if it's tiny.

The fiery rocket launches we know and love involve engines that are just too powerful

for something like a toaster-sized CubeSat once it's in space.

These little probes and satellites sometimes just need gentle nudges instead of big shoves.

But, unlike traditional rocket engines, these spacecraft do need engines that can keep nudging

for years or decades without running out of fuel.

And one promising new way of accomplishing that is called electrospray propulsion.

It nudges spacecraft with tiny, charged droplets, and it's already quietly passed rigorous

tests on one of the most sensitive probes we've got.

All rocketry is based on our old friend Isaac Newton's third law of motion, which says

that forces always come in pairs.

One way or another, fuel gets pushed out of the back of the rocket.

And when the rocket pushes back on the fuel, the fuel also pushes forward on the rocket

-- so the spacecraft moves.

That's true whether the rocket uses explosions or squeezes air out of a balloon.

Huge, traditional rockets -- the kind that get things off the Earth -- are a lot closer

to the explosions side, and use energetic chemical reactions.

But these engines can deliver more power than a lot of tiny probes need, and they can go

through their fuel faster than we'd like for long-term, low-maintenance missions.

This is where electrospray propulsion comes in.

It's a type of ion engine, which uses strong electric fields to push electrically charged

atoms called ions out of the back of the ship.

These engines can be tiny and efficient.

Like, thrusters the size of quarters can work continuously for weeks at a time.

They can do this by providing way smaller forces than chemical engines and go through

their fuel a lot more slowly.

And that's perfect for something like a CubeSat — a lightweight, mini-satellite

— that needs to gather data from orbit for a long time.

There are actually a few types of ion engines already, and one was even used for the Dawn

mission to the asteroid belt.

But these engines are a little different than electrospray ones.

Traditionally, ion engines work by relying on a bunch of individual atoms for thrust.

The atoms are pushed out the back, and the craft moves forward.

But electrospray engines use tiny, charged droplets of liquid -- or groups of atoms -- for

thrust instead.

Those liquids might be something like molten salts, although engineers are still trying

to find the best materials for the job.

Some thrusters might even use mixtures of liquids, which scientists sometimes call a

"colloid", so they're also sometimes known as "colloid thrusters".

One major benefit of these engines over other kinds of ion propulsion is that they're

a lot easier to control and fine-tune.

If you only need a little force for your spacecraft, it's a lot easier to create a smaller droplet

of liquid than it is to control a bunch of individual atoms.

This kind of control is perfect for some of today's smallest satellites, like CubeSats

or the even tinier nanosatellites, which usually don't have any propulsion systems of their own.

Usually, they just stay in space until the atmosphere drags them back down.

But as methods like electrospray become cheaper, easier, and more widespread, we'll start

seeing CubeSats that can stay in space almost indefinitely.

And the good news is, research into these engines has recently picked up.

Because as people have started imagining the kinds of things we could do with a lot of

small, inexpensive, Earth-orbiting satellites, electrospray propulsion has seemed even more important.

Like, with a bunch of satellites like this, you could have internet access or phone signals

everywhere on Earth.

Governments would also have an easier time monitoring things like nuclear arms treaties,

and scientists would have an easier time tracking something like climate change.

And, of course, fleets of small, exquisitely sensitive satellites and probes would help

astronomers, too.

We might not even have to wait very long before this technology is ready to go.

The European Space Agency's LISA Pathfinder probe tested electrospray engines between

2015 and 2017.

LISA was a proof-of-concept for a planned team of probes that will hopefully search

for gravitational waves -- ripples in space caused by super-dense objects moving around.

Gravitational waves are unimaginably tiny, so probes looking for them will have to be

super sensitive to have any shot at success.

LISA's engines and other stabilizers had to be able to move or turn the ship by the

width of a single strand of DNA and then stop without jolting -- and they needed to keep

that precision up for hours or even days at a time.

And with eight electrospray engines on board, LISA achieved all of its ridiculously precise goals.

Now, electrospray engines won't suddenly become the only engine out there.

We'll still need bigger engines to get satellites off of Earth, and to push around larger spacecraft.

But as they're improved and refined over the next decade or two, we'll probably see

them on a lot more of the Earth-orbiting satellites -- and space-based observatories -- that make

our lives easier.

So hopefully we'll have a lot more to say about them soon.

Thanks for watching this episode of SciShow Space!

If you'd like to learn about another kind of experimental engine -- one that could get

humans to Mars in just over a month -- you can watch our episode all about the VASIMR engine.
