Hi guys, we are in Laos right now.
It's actually already our fifth day here.
The first four days, we were in the capital Vientiane.
But we are sorry, we didn't make a video about that city.
Because it was just to hot,
there is actually not so much to do there
and most importantly, after 3 months of traveling we had to recharge our batteries.
But we did visit some place
like the Buddha park and the arch of Patuxai.
Places that we really recommend.
And you obviously know that if you want some tips about traveling to Vientiane,
you can always contact us on Facebook, Instagram or here on YouTube.
So after 16 hours of traveling from Vientiane, we have arrived at this place.
What you can see behind me is the Mekong River.
This is the 8th longest river in the world.
It passes through China,
Myanmar,
Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Laos.
Apart from that, it forms the border between Thailand and Laos.
So here is Laos.
There is Thailand.
And behind me, a few kilometers from here, is the border with Cambodia.
And to be a bit more precise, we are in Si Phan Don.
This means 4000 islands.
Because in this place the Mekong River opens up
and streams through 4000 islands,
of which the majority are uninhabited
because in the rain season they get flooded.
We are currently on the island called Don Det, the most famous island amongst travelers.
In the days that we'll be here, we'll explore this island
and an island called Don Khon.
But today no discovering and no exploring.
Today we're going to rest here in our hammocks.
And as you can see, Mónica is already giving a good example.
So I'll just join her.
See you tomorrow.
Third day on the island and we finally managed to activate ourselves.
Today we're going to Don Khon to see what if has to offer.
Right?
Yes.
We are here on Don Det because of a recommendation from a friend we met in Yangon (Myanmar).
Yes, thanks Luke, from Malta.
Normally we weren't going to come here.
We were actually going to visit the north of Laos.
But we decided to change our plan and come here to the 4000 Islands
of which everyone talks very higly.
So we're here,
ready to explore.
We just arrived at the famous waterfall park here in Don Khon.
Although I don't know if it's that famous,
but everyone just comes here.
The entrance fee is 35.000 kip.
So let's go see if these waterfalls are worth it.
As you could see, we came here on a scooter which cost us 100.000 kip for the whole day.
A good price I think.
But lots of people also rent a bicycle.
This is obviously cheaper, just 10.000 kip per day.
But a scooter is faster, more fun and just easier.
Which is really appreciated in this heat.
It looks like there is no age limit for scooter use here in Don Khon.
This kid must be like...
10 years old maybe.
So we are here, look.
It's not bad, although it's not the Niagara Falls.
But for 35.000 kip...
It's worth it.
And as always...
A temple.
If you have a really low budget...
you can always sleep here.
I think you'll have a spectacular view in the mornings.
Be careful with this tree.
It's a bit spicky.
This is the result of our attempt to taking our special photo.
This really hurts.
So just be careful.
Poor Kevin...
Way in the back.
Walking slowly.
Because he hurt his foot.
Why didn't anyone tell us earlier?
Here they have free bungalow, free WiFi,
free pool, free volleyball,
free sunset...
Everything is free.
We should have rented a room here.
Cheers.
Something to refresh ourselves.
Because although it's not 40 degrees anymore,
31 degrees is still a lot.
Look at this beautiful beach.
It's supposed to be possible to rent a boat here, to go watch the Mekong dolphins.
It costs 35.000 kip per person.
But we're not going to do it.
Because it's our last day here on the islands.
And there aren't any ATM's here.
And we have just enough money to eat, so...
I think Mónica prefers to eat.
That's right.
They also say that it's not always sure that you'll spot any dolphins.
And the dolphins aren't sea dolphins
so they aren't jumping.
So let's not take the risk and let's go eat.
We made it the most southern part of the island of Don Khon.
And the island you can see behind me is already Cambodia.
That's just crazy.
We are so close to crossing the border.
But we aren't going to.
Yet.
But just look how beautiful this all looks.
We'll eat something here while we wait for the sunset.
And before we say goodbye to the 4000 islands and to you,
we'll give you the answer to the question: how much does a trip to Laos cost?
We were just here for 1 week.
We arrived at Vientiane and we didn't make a video about this place.
But if you need tips about traveling to that city, you can contact us on our social media.
The hostel were we stayed in Vientiane costed 60.000 kip per night.
But if you want more privacy,
you can rent a bungalow here on the islands
starting from 100.000 kip.
And as we just received our food, we'll now tell you how much it costs to eat in this country.
You can find cheap and large meals for about 15.000 kip.
End lastly, transportation.
You can move from one city to another by bus.
The night buses have beds so they are pretty comfortable.
And as means of transportation inside the cities,
the most convenient thing is to rent a scooter.
This will cost about 100.000 kip per day.
And if you're not lazy, you can also rent a bicycle.
We chose not to, because of the tremendous heat.
But it's a nice alternative which is cheaper and more ecological.
And now we say goodbye to you and to this country to go to our next destination.
If you want to know which one that is,
don't miss the next video of VagaJuntos.
Thank you!

ACS lowers recommended colon cancer screen age - Duration: 0:46.
The American Cancer Society has lowered the age recommendation for colon and rectal cancer
screenings.
The new guidelines now recommend anyone 45 or older get screened regularly.
The ACS attributes the change to a significant rise in colorectal cancers in younger adults
under 55 years old.
And a recent study found adults born around 1990 are twice as likely to be diagnosed with
colon cancer and four times as likely to be diagnosed with rectal cancer than adults born
around 1950.
The organization says colorectal cancer "is the fourth most commonly diagnosed cancer
among adults in the United States," but that early detection lowers the risk of death.
Those at a higher risk may need to be screened before 45.

What is the Best Corneal Abrasion Treatment - Duration: 1:45.
How to care for a scratched eye or a corneal abrasion so a scratch eye just
needs to be pretty much taken care of like a scratch on the skin you want to
prevent it from getting infected so we recommend just keeping your eyelids
clean keeping that area clean and if the scratch is bad enough you may need to
patch it with the contact lens which your doctor can do for you don't do that
on your own because if you put a contact on something that was caused by like a
stick or a branch or something then that could cause actually worse problems so
we usually want to get an antibiotic on it as soon as possible because we don't
want it to get infected because you get an infection on your skin and it gets worse
the worst thing is going to happen is a scar well that's the same thing that's
going to happen with your eyes if you get an infection on your eye and will scar
leading to blindness or your scar on your skin isn't quite as bad so
how to care for a scratch eye go see your optometrist right away get an
antibiotic on it right away clean up the eyelids with the products
we talk about all the time and then you may have to patch it with the contact
lens or an ointment or something like that yeah hey it's Dr. Travis Zigler

Haunted Hotel in Lima, Peru - Gran Hotel Bolivar - Paranormal Investigation - Duration: 8:32.
hey guys thank you for tuning into Amy's Crypt I'm going to be spending the
night in one of Peru's most haunted places which is the Grand Hotel Bolivar
in Lima it's such a beautiful charming old building and I really can't wait to
show you around so let's go explore
in 1924 the luxurious Gran Hotel Bolivar was constructed overlooking what
is now the plaza san martin in lima peru it was the first large hotel to be built
in lima in the hope of modernizing the city what history has led to the gran
bolivar hotel to be considered one of the most haunted places in peru the
sophisticated and prestigious building was intended to be a base for visiting
political dignitaries being just blocks from the peru government palace the
hotel was the resting place for many international emperors and presidents it
also attracted the likes of Hollywood stars and famous musicians over the
years it was a place where Ava Gardner drank pisco sours the Rolling Stones
partied and Orson Welles John Wayne Julio Iglesias and Santana stayed as the
years passed the Grand Hotel Bolivar's popularity elegance and appeal began to
fade though the establishments charm remains it has been plagued with an
array of ghost stories that have continued to add to its decline
many have reportedly encountered the apparition of a ghostly woman in white
roaming the many long winding corridors of the hotel others believe that a woman
who once took her own life by flinging herself from one of the hotel's upper
windows remains trapped within the hotel there are also a few former employees
said to continue their work duties after death many have encountered the ghost of
a former bellboy throughout the hotel whilst at least one account of sighting
a former security employee roaming the upper levels exists so now I've shown
you guys around the hotel I really want to give you a look at my room
is the Grand Hotel Bolivar haunted and what is the hotel attempting to hide on
its upper floors I investigated hey guys now that we're in the dark let's get
cracking with a spirit box session
alright guys now it's time to turn the lights off again and we'll try an EVP
session
hello my name is Amy do you want to talk
did you die here
is there anyone here who wants to communicate alright guys so the last
thing that I want to show you around tonight is the top floors of the hotel I
read online that floors 5 & 6 have been blocked up to the public due to high
instances of paranormal activity I haven't been up there yet and I have no
idea whether this is true but that sounds like something we might want to
take a look at
check it out
that myth is true and it's definitely blocked off I don't know if it's because
paranormal
which I can't tell if it's it's just been blocked off for so long or they've been you know doing
works or renovations or I don't know how far out you can see but it doesn't look
like the walls are painted or anything so I've just caught the elevator it has no up
button it does have Ievels five and six here but they don't work all right guys
I've checked both staircases going up stairs they're both blocked off the
elevators blocked off reception has told me that it is not due to haunting but
for maintenance but I'm not so sure because it's so dusty up there it looks
like no one has been up there in a very very long time
thank you guys so much for watching if you're looking for more spooky content
head to amyscrypt.com if you enjoyed this video please remember to Like
comment and subscribe I would love to know your thoughts on those spooky upper
levels that have been blocked off and remember until next time stay spooky

'Right to Try' signed into law - Duration: 0:57.
President Trump signed the "Right to Try Act" Wednesday.
The bill allows terminally ill patients to use experimental drugs that have not been
fully approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
"Thousands of terminally ill Americans will finally have the help, the hope and the fighting
chance — and I think it is going to be better than a chance — that they will be cured."
To be clear, experimental drugs would still need to clear the FDA's first approval phase,
meaning drugmakers must prove their product does not cause harm to humans.
Vice President Mike Pence has been a supporter of the Right to Try Act.
He recently met with Jordan McLinn, a second-grader with muscular dystrophy.
Jordan has become the unofficial face of Right to Try, pushing for some patients to get access
to experimental treatment.
But critics argue this bill wouldn't change much, claiming it offers false hope.

$21 Trillion Missing From the Pentagon – Remember 911 and the Missing $2.3 Trillion - Duration: 11:24.
$21 Trillion Missing From the Pentagon � Remember 911 and the Missing $2.3 Trillion
�The day before 911 Donald Rumsfeld announced that the Pentagon could not account for $2.3
Trillion! The very next day the General Accounting Office at the Pentagon was hit by a �plane�
and everyone therein was killed! These sums of money are beyond imagination. What is the
Pentagon doing with amounts like this? How can these monies be unaccounted for?
Twenty-one trillion dollars.
The Pentagon�s own numbers show that it can�t account for $21 trillion. Yes, I mean
trillion with a �T.� And this could change everything. But I�ll get back to that in
a moment.
There are certain things the human mind is not meant to do. Our complex brains cannot
view the world in infrared, cannot spell words backward during orgasm and cannot really grasp
numbers over a few thousand. A few thousand, we can feel and conceptualize. We�ve all
been in stadiums with several thousand people. We have an idea of what that looks like (and
how sticky the floor gets).
But when we get into the millions, we lose it. It becomes a fog of nonsense. Visualizing
it feels like trying to hug a memory. We may know what $1 million can buy (and we may want
that thing), but you probably don�t know how tall a stack of a million $1 bills is.
You probably don�t know how long it takes a minimum-wage employee to make $1 million.
That�s why trying to understand � truly understand � that the Pentagon spent 21
trillion unaccounted-for dollars between 1998 and 2015 washes over us like your mother telling
you that your third cousin you met twice is getting divorced. It seems vaguely upsetting,
but you forget about it 15 seconds later because� what else is there to do?
Twenty-one trillion.
But let�s get back to the beginning. A couple of years ago, Mark Skidmore, an economics
professor, heard Catherine Austin Fitts, former assistant secretary in the Department of Housing
and Urban Development, say that the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General had
found $6.5 trillion worth of unaccounted-for spending in 2015. Skidmore, being an economics
professor, thought something like, �She means $6.5 billion. Not trillion. Because
trillion would mean the Pentagon couldn�t account for more money than the gross domestic
product of the whole United Kingdom. But still, $6.5 billion of unaccounted-for money is a
crazy amount.�
So he went and looked at the inspector general�s report, and he found something interesting:
It was trillion! It was f *****g $6.5 trillion in 2015 of unaccounted-for spending! And I�m
sorry for the cursing, but the word �trillion� is legally obligated to be prefaced with �f*****g.�
It is indeed way more than the U.K.�s GDP.
Skidmore did a little more digging. As Forbes reported in December 2017, �He and Catherine
Austin Fitts conducted a search of government websites and found similar reports dating
back to 1998. While the documents are incomplete, original government sources indicate $21 trillion
in unsupported adjustments have been reported for the Department of Defense and the Department
of Housing and Urban Development for the years 1998-2015.�
Let�s stop and take a second to conceive how much $21 trillion is (which you can�t
because our brains short-circuit, but we�ll try anyway).
1. The amount of money supposedly in the stock market is $30 trillion.
2. The GDP of the United States is $18.6 trillion.
3. Picture a stack of money. Now imagine that that stack of dollars is all $1,000 bills.
Each bill says �$1,000� on it. How high do you imagine that stack of dollars would
be if it were $1 trillion. It would be 63 miles high.
4. Imagine you make $40,000 a year. How long would it take you to make $1 trillion? Well,
don�t sign up for this task, because it would take you 25 million years (which sounds
like a long time, but I hear that the last 10 million really fly by because you already
know your way around the office, where the coffee machine is, etc.).
The human brain is not meant to think about a trillion dollars. And it�s definitely
not meant to think about the $21 trillion our Department of Defense can�t account
for. These numbers sound bananas. They sound like something Alex Jones found tattooed on
his backside by extraterrestrials.
But the 21 trillion number comes from the Department of Defense Office of Inspector
General � the OIG. Although, as Forbes pointed out, �after Mark Skidmore began inquiring
about OIG-reported unsubstantiated adjustments, the OIG�s webpage, which documented, albeit
in a highly incomplete manner, these unsupported �accounting adjustments,� was mysteriously
taken down.�
Luckily, people had already grabbed copies of the report, which � for now - you can
view here.
Here�s something else important from that Forbes article � which is one of the only
mainstream media articles you can find on the largest theft in American history: �Given
that the entire Army budget in fiscal year 2015 was $120 billion, unsupported adjustments
were 54 times the level of spending authorized by Congress.�
That�s right. The expenses with no explanation were 54 times the actual budget allotted by
Congress. Well, it�s good to see Congress is doing 1/54th of its job of overseeing military
spending (that�s actually more than I thought Congress was doing). This would seem to mean
that 98 percent of every dollar spent by the Army in 2015 was unconstitutional.
So, pray tell, what did the OIG say caused all this unaccounted-for spending that makes
Jeff Bezos� net worth look like that of a guy jingling a tin can on the street corner?
�The July 2016 inspector general report indicates that unsupported adjustments are
the result of the Defense Department�s �failure to correct system deficiencies.� They blame
trillions of dollars of mysterious spending on a �failure to correct system deficiencies�?
That�s like me saying I had sex with 100,000 wild hairless aardvarks because I wasn�t
looking where I was walking.
Twenty-one trillion.
Say it slowly to yourself.
At the end of the day, there are no justifiable explanations for this amount of unaccounted-for,
unconstitutional spending. Right now, the Pentagon is being audited for the first time
ever, and it�s taking 2,400 auditors to do it. I�m not holding my breath that they�ll
actually be allowed to get to the bottom of this.
But if the American people truly understood this number, it would change both the country
and the world. It means that the dollar is sprinting down a path toward worthless. If
the Pentagon is hiding spending that dwarfs the amount of tax dollars coming in to the
federal government, then it�s clear the government is printing however much it wants
and thinking there are no consequences. Once these trillions are considered, our fiat currency
has even less meaning than it already does, and it�s only a matter of time before inflation
runs wild.
It also means that any time our government says it �doesn�t have money� for a project,
it�s laughable. It can clearly �create� as much as it wants for bombing and death.
This would explain how Donald Trump�s military can drop well over 100 bombs a day that cost
well north of $1 million each.
So why can�t our government also �create� endless money for health care, education,
the homeless, veterans benefits and the elderly, to make all parking free and to pay the Rolling
Stones to play stoop-front shows in my neighborhood? (I�m sure the Rolling Stones are expensive,
but surely a trillion dollars could cover a couple of songs.)
Obviously, our government could do those things, but it chooses not to. Earlier this month,
Louisiana sent eviction notices to 30,000 elderly people on Medicaid to kick them out
of their nursing homes. Yes, a country that can vomit trillions of dollars down a black
hole marked �Military� can�t find the money to take care of our poor elderly. It�s
a repulsive joke.
Twenty-one trillion.
Former Secretary of Defense Robert Gates spoke about how no one knows where the money is
flying in the Pentagon. In a barely reported speech in 2011, he said, �My staff and I
learned that it was nearly impossible to get accurate information and answers to questions
such as, �How much money did you spend?� and �How many people do you have?� � They
can�t even find out how many people work for a specific department? Note for anyone
looking for a job: Just show up at the Pentagon and tell them you work there. It doesn�t
seem like they�d have much luck proving you don�t.
For more on this story, check out David DeGraw�s excellent reporting at ChangeMaker.media,
because the mainstream corporate media are mouthpieces for the weapons industry. They
are friends with benefits of the military-industrial complex. I have seen basically nothing from
the mainstream corporate media concerning this mysterious $21 trillion. I missed the
time when CNN�s Wolf Blitzer said that the money we dump into war and death � either
the accounted-for money or the secretive trillions - could end world hunger and poverty many
times over. There�s no reason anybody needs to be starving or hungry or unsheltered on
this planet, but our government seems hellbent on proving that it stands for nothing but
profiting off death and misery. And our media desperately want to show they stand for nothing
but propping up our morally bankrupt empire.
When the media aren�t actively promoting war, they�re filling the airwaves with shit,
so the entire country can�t even hear itself think. Our whole mindscape is filled to the
brim with nonsense and vacant celebrity idiocy. Then, while no one is looking, the largest
theft humankind has ever seen is going on behind our backs � covered up under the
guise of �national security.�
Twenty-one trillion.
Don�t forget.�

Z-Scores and Percentiles: Crash Course Statistics #18 - Duration: 10:55.
Hi, I'm Adriene Hill, and Welcome back to Crash Course, Statistics.
One thing that statistics are good for comparing.
You can compare your GPA with the mean or median GPA, and you can use the standard deviation
to figure out whether the amount of time that people spend on social media everyday is pretty
similar, or whether people differ a lot.
But both these examples are comparing apples to apples.
And sometimes we want to compare things that aren't exactly the same, or aren't measured
in the same way.
This is where standardization comes in.
For example some prospective college students took the SAT, some the ACT and others both.
How can we compare things that aren't the same?
It's like comparing apples to grapefruit.
INTRO
Say there are two students who are applying for admission to the same college-- one took
only the SAT, and the other only the ACT.
Both tests are trying to measure the same thing: college readiness.
But they're different tests, and more importantly, are measured on different scales; The SAT
is currently out of 1600 points, while the ACT is out of 36 points.
This makes things tough to compare.
While I can maybe assume that a perfect score on the SAT and ACT mean similar things--namely
that I've found a superstar test taker--it's not immediately clear whether a 1200 on the
SAT is better than a 25 on the ACT.
Again, apples to grapefruit.
They're similar but not quite the same.
The first thing we can do To make these scores easier to compare is to center both of the
distributions around zero by subtracting the mean of each respective test from each score.
Now for both adjusted test scores, someone who got around the mean of either test will
have a score of 0.
So, if you scored a 1000 on the SAT or a 21 on the ACT , your new, adjusted score would
be 0, since those scores are 0 points away from the means of each test.
Now that both scores are centered around zero, it's a little easier to compare them.
Things that are close to zero indicate a score that was close to the mean, while those far
away from zero indicate scores that were either a lot higher, or a lot lower than the mean
score for that test.
But our test scores are still on different scales.
A 10 (above the mean) on the SAT obviously isn't the same as at 10 (above the mean)
on the ACT.
The second, and final step that will allow us to compare these two scores is to take
our already adjusted scores and measure the distance away from the mean using units of
standard deviation.
We do this by dividing the adjusted scores by the standard deviation of the respective tests.
This rescales both distributions of scores so that the standard deviation for both is
now 1 unit.
A re-scaled score, which is called a z-score, of 1 indicates a point that is 1 standard
deviation higher than the mean, and a z-score of -1 indicates a point that is 1 standard
deviation lower than the mean.
Now we can better compare two students: Tony who got a 1200 on the SAT, and Maia who got
a 25 on the ACT.
First we subtract the mean score from each, and then divide by the standard deviation.
Let's say those standard deviations are 200 and 4.8 for the SAT and ACT respectively.
So Tony's score of 1200 minus 1000 divided by 200 gives a new z-score of 1 (which means
means that it is 1 standard deviations above the mean).
And Maia's 25 becomes 25 minus 21 divided by 4.8 giving a new z-score of 0 .83 (which
means that her score is .83 standard deviations above the mean).
These scores are much more comparable.
It's easy to see that Tony and Maia's z-scores are actually pretty similar, even
though it was hard to tell with their original scores of 1200 and 25.
Z-scores in general allow us to compare things that are not on the same scale, as long as
they're normally distributed.
In fact there's an entire z-distribution that allows us to calculate things like percentiles.
Percentiles tell you what percentage of the population has a score or value that's lower
than yours.
The median, is the 50th percentile; exactly half the data is above and below it.
By looking up Tony and Maia's z-scores in a standardized z-table, we can see that Both
scored above approximate 80% of their peers give or take.
You may have seen percentiles at the doctor's office when your physician told your parents
that you were at the 83rd percentile for height.
That means that 83% of the population-- and here we mean kids your age, not all people
ever--have heights that are less than or equal to yours.
If you look at the whole distribution of heights and found yours, 83% of the distribution would
be to the left of your height.
Now, technically you can find these percentiles for any distribution, it involves calculating
the area underneath the curve and figuring out how much of it is below a certain value.
But that calculation can be tedious, so often times we convert normal distributions into
standard normal--or z--distributions which have a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
Common percentiles have already been calculated for the z-distribution, you may have seen
a table of them in a statistics textbook.
Say you are competing for a spot at a local video game convention.
The rules state that you must be in the top 5 percent of scores for your favorite game,
Call of Civic Duty--a jury duty based video game.
Scores of Call of Civic Duty are normally distributed with a mean of 2,000 and a standard
deviation of 300.
You get 100 points each day you don't fall asleep.
So you set out to find out what score would put you at the 95th percentile.
Being in the 95th percentile means that you're in the top 5 percent of scores since 95% are
below you.
And these are just two different ways of talking about the same situation.
Looking at our z-score table, we can see that a z-score of about 1.65 would put you in the
top 5 percent of Call of Civic Duty players.
In fact a z-score of 1.65 corresponds to the 95th percentile of any z-scored distribution.
But we want to turn that back into a Call of Civic Duty score so that you know just
how high you have to score in order to qualify for the gaming convention.
We know the process to turn a raw score into a z-score, so to go the other direction, we
just reverse it.
First, we multiply the z-score by the standard deviation--300--to get 495.
Then we add the mean score 2,000 to get the final score to beat: 2,495.
We can also think of percentiles as the probability that a random score drawn from a z-distribution
will be lower than a given score.
Say, you are at the 90th percentile for marathon runners.
That means that if we randomly selected a marathon runner, 90% of the time we'd select
a runner with the same or slower run times than you.
So you're in the top 10 percent, but does that mean you're "extremely" good?
There's really no clear answer of how good you have to be or how high a score has to
be in order to be considered "extreme", it's somewhat arbitrary.
You may think the top 10% of marathon runners are "extreme", but someone might draw
the line at the top 1%.
In fact, sometimes you can be so extreme that people might start to think you're not even
from a certain population z-distribution.
Let's go to the Thought Bubble.
You're at the county fair, and stop at a game booth.
The woman running it says that she has two piles: one of apples, and one of some type
of mystery object.
She'll randomly pick an item from one pile.
If you can guess whether she picked an apple or not, you'll win a lifetime supply of
funnel cake.
She does kindly tell you that the mean weight of this type of apple is 200 grams with a
standard deviation of 20 grams.
She grabs an object, weighs it, and yells out the weight of 270 grams.
You quickly calculate the z-score is 3.5.
You take out your phone and pull up a z-score table and figure out this object would be
in the top 99.99th percentile, meaning that it is larger than 99.99 percent of apples.
It's such a big apple, it's basically New York.
If it was an apple, it's unlikely you'd get one this big, only 0.001% of the time.
So maybe it's not an apple.
Before you give your final answer you need to ask yourself whether you think that's
rare enough for you to conclude that it's probably not an apple, the limit is pretty
arbitrary, but it's enough here for you to guess not an apple.
And you swear you see a twinkle in the proprietor's eye when she tells you that you're wrong
and pulls out a very large apple.
As you walk away, you think about how nice it would have been to know what the mystery
pile was.
If it had been a pile of Bowling Balls, you probably would have guessed "apple", even
though it seemed a little heavy since it's more likely to have a 270 gram apple than
a 270 gram bowling ball.
But if the other pile were grapefruit, you might be more inclined to stick with your
original choice of "not an apple", since a 270 gram grapefruit is more likely than
a 270 gram apple.
But since you didn't know, you made the best choice that you could and you can buy
your own funnel cake.
Thanks Thought Bubble.
Z-scores help us make comparisons.
We can compare a thing to a certain population, like a particular apple weight to all apple
weights.
And we can compare stuff that's not naturally comparable like SAT and ACT scores.
Though we might not calculate actual scores, the ideas behind z-scores are what make us
feel that the likelihood of being on the same flight as Chadwick Boseman is way smaller
than the likelihood of hitting 4 red lights on our way home, even though those things
are very different.
Or maybe we're trying to compare athletes from different sports to see who the GOAT is,
no not that kind of goat, Greatest Of All Time.
Let's say our top contenders are Lebron James and Tom Brady.
But who's the GOAT?
Lebron has a career average of about 27 points per game, while Brady has an average of 1.92
touchdowns per game between 2000-2017.
While both are impressive, we're looking for the greatest.
When we're picking out our GOAT, we could compare the two athletes by thinking about
how much higher above the average score each one has.
But to know which athlete's score is more impressive we'd need to compare their z-scores.
I haven't run the math, but off the top of my head, I'm going with LeBron.
Prove me wrong.
Best analysis wins something that weighs less than 270 grams.
No other clues.
Thanks for watching, I'll see you next time.

Avengers 4 Major New DETAILS, Avengers 4 Title REVEALED!? & Trailer RELEASE DATE REVEALED!? - Duration: 7:16.
what is good youtube Warstu here that video on Marvel Avengers infinity
war so if you're into the MCU the Marvel Cinematic Universe and marble this is a
channel for you so make sure to subscribe so by now you should have seen
Avengers infinity war and they're poor - maybe but infinity war is closing in -
hitting two billion dollars at the box office so unless you've been living
under a rock for the past month you should have watched the movie a bunch of
times like we have so now Avengers infinity war is out we have ant-man
coming out in just over a month if you'd like me to do online content just let me
know down below guys although in my country it doesn't actually come out for
four weeks later due to the World Cup which is very frustrating although we
get a crown early we get ant run late it's a bit confusing then obviously
after Captain Marvel comes out we have an Avengers for then spider-man
homecoming - damn Marvel's gonna have to be really careful careful
marketing at this movie so the big question we have have is what is it
Avengers for title and why the roof of soil Brothers and Kevin Feige making out
it's so secretive almost like the titles gonna give away the whole plot line the
whole narrative which quite frankly we here don't believe so when they start to
advertise their next bunch of movies we know that Comic Con is coming up we know
that Marvel won't be at the infamous Hall H but I am expecting some Captain
Marvel news to drop that weekend so the Russos had this they had a word
exclusive about the directors talking about the Avengers 4 trailer release and
literally as I said this no idea we haven't cut any of the film together yet
we have to wait and see we're get it set for the next two to three months but
let's be honest guys you know how they're gonna rock up Captain Marvel
trailers gonna have to drop a first so Captain Marvel comes out early 2019 yeah
big b19 so don't expect Avengers 4 trailer any earlier than maybe December
their focus has to be purely on Captain Marvel but if you looked when they
you drop the civil war trailer potentially late November ish I guess
you could say so recently comic book karma spoke with
Joe Russo the Russo brothers and it was quite interesting in Russo brothers
revealed Avengers forever is the closest Avengers four I guess they've heard this
far prompting Joe to joke say the actual
tile is Avengers almost forever so this guy's this for me this is very really
weird because you've got Kevin Feige saying oh it's a spoiler then he say no
now they've built up so much anticipation and if I went to cinema and
it's called Avengers forever I'd be like yeah this just means you're gonna keep
releasing Avengers movies forever I like we already know they don't want
to say I don't think there are any comic books that correlate to it I think we
are pretty we're in a pretty fresh territory with a vengeance for if
anything I think is interesting after to go back and look at some other Marvel
films and view them foreign different from a different lens but I can't think
of any comic book comic books in particular that have any value because
obviously everyone in a moment is rushing out to buy Infinity Gauntlet
because room idli that was the actual title for the movie but seeing as it got
out kind of a guess you could say they've changed it but I never believed
that was the actual title this seems to be some advice to people who might be
basing their speculation solely on the comics to offer an insight since while
they're using the comic-book narrative as inspiration they've had a creative
library to craft their own story which I really think is awesome guys
because if they pull directly from the comics just like the flash TV show if it
pulled 100% from the comic books it would be no point watching teams show
because it just literally be a TV or movie version of the comics now what is
very interesting is they had said our job as we've said a billion million
times is to tell the story of the Marvel Cinematic Universe not to direct
adaptations of the comics because we are comic fans I have no interest in
interest as a director in telling a story that's already been told or in
a.cian one that's already been told if I knew all the events stories as they're
going to happen then what's the point of going to
film we want to keep surprising audiences and continue the story that
started with Ironman one year ago what one decade ago sorry so that's pretty
cool so basically the roosters are saying
they have no idea when the tres come out but we hear think the trade is gonna
come out late November maybe December ish around there but like I said they've
got our advertise Captain Marvel first that's got to take priority after the
ant-man drops later in a four weeks or so but for them to say don't go search
around the comic books it's pretty cool I mean if you haven't read the Infinity
Gauntlet arc I do think it would be cool to read it but seeing as James Gunn has
said that there's gonna be no Adam warlock and there's no Silver Surfer
because obviously Fox owns the TV movie rights to that sorry I don't think they
can pull much from that storyline anyway but it would be cool if you didn't read
comics to kind of get back get into reading comic books because they are
pretty fun like fancy and then yeah it would be pretty cool so guys let me know
in the comment box down below what do you think the Avengers war title would
be I think Avengers disassembled sounds better but realistically guys from the
ending of this movie you can guess what the title is gonna be Avengers almost
forever is pretty funny I don't know I I think like Avengers disassembled we bare
Avengers endgame would be pretty cool because that may insinuate that most of
the Avengers are gonna die Avengers end game sounds scary but then
you got Kevin Feige building up anticipation for a while and then
they've kind of backtrack and I guess saying no it's not really that spoilery
they just want to give everyone a good amount of time before they release it
but obviously this is a big movie it's gonna be even bigger than Avengers
infinity war was so realistic guys they're actually gonna have to start
marketing it soon and I am gonna start a giveaway in all
my Marvel videos guys so all you have to do is answer the following question why
is a fan ass fan ass and I will obviously end the competition in the car
week so the question is why is fan a synopsis comp this competition is only
for people that get to the end of the video I'm not going to promote the
competition anywhere and the giveaway would be either a
blu-ray for the Black Panther movie I guess because that comes out first but
I'll do another one for infinity what when it comes out and it most likely may
be a digital code because I'm based in Europe so getting out to America unless
I can Amazon Prime it or something but we're talking about details with the
winner in a couple of weeks and I will announce it so it's going to run this
week next week and the week after so it will end around June June and 25th 26th
ish somewhere around there so anyway guys I'll catch you in another video
very soon like always guys if you've got any video requests put me in a box down
below and I will catch you very soon guys catch ya later

Things People With Disabilities Wish You Knew - Duration: 4:58.
- I so often hear people send the message
like thank God that's not me when they see
someone with a disability or like
thank God that's not me or my kid.
And that's sending the message that
disability is equal to someone who is less than
or broken or incomplete and that's not the case.
(upbeat music)
- I have Cerebral Palsy.
It affects me pretty much from the hips down
and also just like fine motor control and things like that.
- So I have Tourette Syndrome which is
a neurological disorder which means I do
movements and noises that I can't control.
- I have Cerebral Palsy as well left Hemiparesis
and Nystagmus which means that my whole
left side is weaker than my rights.
- I have a very aggressive form for Lupus.
And I have a blood clotting disorder associated
with my Lupus and four years ago I had a clot in my foot.
And then this happened and over eight months
and 11 surgeries, this was the end.
(upbeat music)
- I...
love having Tourette's.
I love that I'm four foot, seven.
I love my obsessive compulsive disorder.
And I think that's the case that many of us
have embraced our disabilities.
- I've had my disabilities since I was born
and it's a part me.
- My brain is quick and witty and wildly inappropriate.
And it also has Tourette's and at some point
I decided not to just love parts of my brain.
(upbeat music)
A lot of times I see kids staring at me.
That's OK with me.
- I welcome it, kids are curious.
- But what I struggle with is when a parent
shushes them or quickly pulls them in the other direction.
- When a child is hustled away from a person
or hushed, it stigmatizes even just asking the question.
- Because kids then associate disability
with feeling ashamed.
- If they've never seen anything like this before
they're gonna look and if they questions let them ask.
There's nothing wrong with that.
- So instead I hope that parents say things like:
How cool that we all move differently
and walk differently and talk differently.
More than just like normalizing disability
but celebrating it.
We date, people with disabilities date!
And not always other people with disabilities.
- Just because I have I disability doesn't
mean I have to be paired with somebody with a disability.
- Direct message to everyone in my life
but if you're gonna set me up on a blind date
please have more criteria than
this guy also has a disability.
(upbeat music)
- Not every single person with a disability
is in a wheelchair.
I am not in a wheelchair.
I've never been in a wheelchair.
(upbeat music)
- If one more person calls me an inspiration
after just meeting me, I'm gonna burn your house down.
- We aren't inherently inspirational or brave
because we are disabled.
We're just kind of the idea that people
think about what when they say that.
- It's OK to call me an inspiration once you know me.
Or know something about me.
But genetics does not make me an inspiration.
Let me earn that word.
- There are people who are actually doing
amazing, brave things out there.
Whether they have a disability or not.
- But it comes across to a disabled person as:
wow I'm so happy that I'm not in your shoes.
(upbeat music)
- I get a lot of strangers trying to help me.
Up the steps by grabbing my arm or my waste or something.
And that's extremely inappropriate.
- You can say hey do you need some help?
Rather than just either forcing my chair or ignoring me.
(upbeat music)
It took me awhile to actually call myself
a person with a disability.
But I'm a person first.
Being an amputee is secondary.
- I rather have somebody say I'm a person with a disability
rather than being disabled because of the
whole control and ownership issue.
- I hear differently abled.
The word is disability.
- They used to call myself like differently abled
and some people didn't like that.
And I'm just like, but I am different
and their like no you're not
and it took me awhile to actually see
that I was using very able-bodied terms.
- It should be a descriptor.
Just like I'm right-handed, I have a disability.
(upbeat music)
When we're talking about disabilities I hear
the word that we wanna be accommodating, which is great.
Or we're working on tolerance.
Nobody wants to just be tolerated.
Like I tolerated those three years my sister
was learning to play the trombone.
I tolerate going to the dentist.
None of these things are things I like,
they're things I tolerate
because I know that I have to deal with.
So there's such an important step in communities
between opening the door to somebody with a disability
and like embracing them
and building a community with them in mind.
(upbeat music)
