Waching daily Jul 31 2018

Hello, I'm Saukki.

Today I have a little bit different video than usual.

Well, it's only a little bit different.

There is going to be some Finnish language on this video, so please put on the subtitles.

Here I'm riding to meet Niko and his Quattrovelo.

Niko is riding from Oulu back to his home in Espoo.

We agreed to meet here.

Hi!

Okay...

You are having a little bit longer trip.

Hello!

After quick introduction we moved along to find something to eat for Niko

because he is on a long trip.

Right away I noticed that the Quatrovelo can handle this annoying rumblestrip

on the shoulder of the road much better than my Quest.

I have to choose on which side of the rumble strip I ride,

but Niko with his Quattrovelo can also ride on top of the rumblestrip,

because the Quattro has four wheels.

Does the wind effect to that?

Not much. In the beginnig I thought that it's the wind throwing me around at high speed

But I haven't noticed it anymore.

There was quite strong side wind back there

The side wind effects a little bit to my Quest.

I have noticed that the speed must be over 50 km/h until I have to counter steer.

How big is the front chainring?

Is it 70t?

75t

75t? Ok.

It's huge.

It looks funny because there is only 140 mm long crank arms.

Ah, they are so short.

The crank arm almost reaches the edge of the chainring.

The rear derailleur is custom built.

The chain tensioner is not at the derailleur, instead it's at the front.

There is only this cage instead.

It seems to be working well.

Why wouldn't it work...

There is this counterweight

It stops the derailleur to change gears on it's own on bumbs or something.

How much there is ground clearance?

Seems to be enough.

It seems that there is ground clearance as much as my Quest would without the chain tunnel.

Yep, so it seems.

Ah, it's so long. I didn't realize

I thought there is only this lump for the rear derailleur.

Yes, it goes all the way to the front.

Should I go for a test ride? If I just ride around the parking lot.

With this shoes.

That's ok if we don't want to exhange shoes.

You can ride more in Nokia.

If you have other shoes, take them with you.

Yes I could take my other shoes with me.

Then you can test more.

This was only a short test ride around the parking lot.

I didn't have right kind of cleats on my cycling shoes,

so we agreed that I can do more testing next weekend at the Finnish Recumbent Championships in Nokia, Finland.

By the way, it's going to be the last time the race is going to be located in the Nokia track.

Next year we have to find some other place for our races.

Ok, back to the Quattrovelo.

I was trying to make sharp turns so I could feel how the rear end behaves.

It feels completely different than my three wheeled Quest.

It feels somehow funny and it behaves in a way you wouldn't expect.

But still, it must be very stable in high speeds.

But that's something I wasn't able to test on the parking lot.

I have to do more testing next weekend in Nokia.

The rear end feels wierd.

Very wierd.

With this speed I couldn't tell how stable this is when going with high speed.

It shouldn't tip very easily.

Yeah, I think so.

At least few times the rear end starts to slip before it starts to tip.

Do you still have energy to ride to Kokkola?

Well let's at least start to ride in that direction and let's see how far I can ride.

Then I'm going to show Niko where is the camping site where he is going to sleep the next night.

I'll show him the quickest route so he doesn't have to worry about navigating.

She didn't look at all where she was going.

No.

You would think that you can see this kind of vehicle.

Damn, I almost crashed.

Yes, I was sure she would hit you.

Oh crap!

Yeah, that lady wasn't looking much.

No, she wasn't looking at all where she was going.

Awesome bikes!

You think so?

Where are you coming from?

I'm from Kälviä.

Ah, that's not far away.

I thought you are from The Netherlands because of the color.

Well, the bikes are from The Netherlands.

Yes, I guessed so.

Last week we had one lady with one of these.

Was she from Germany?

Yes she was.

Yes, I heard about that.

She was staying here?

Yeah.

There are not so many velomobile riders here in Finland, so if there is someone foreigner, we know about that.

Yeah, I'm sure there aren't so many foreigner riders visiting Finland.

Not very much.

Have you been riding any long trips?

Well, he rode last week from Espoo to Oulu.

From Espoo to Oulu?

How many days did you rode?

One day.

One day!?

Are you joking?

Really?

Now I'm going back in three days.

It turned out to be like sport.

How long did it take?

Ride time was just over 22 hours.

So it was just within a one day.

That's tough...

How long between breaks?

The longest was about 5 hours.

The other one is a four wheeler.

Ah, okay.

It's like a little car.

Like a pedal car.

Well kind of...

Is it heavier to ride if it has four wheels?

I can't say about that.

Well, basically it should have more rolling resistance.

But a four wheeler is much more stable.

They are quite expensive.

Yeah.

Some say that you can buy a car with the same price.

But why would you want a car if you can have this kind of bike.

That's right.

Okay, that's all for today.

Stay tuned for the next week's video about the races in Nokia.

Meanwhile please remember to subscribe to my channel

and also visit my webshop and buy my T-shirts or other kind of stuff.

Thanks for watching and see you on the next video! Bye bye!

Political alliances manifest themselves here—on the voting floor of the United Nations General

Assembly in New York, New York.

In this room countries impose legislation that carries weight worldwide and so what

happens in this room is the physical materialization of the world's politics.

47 years ago, exactly that happened when one of the General Assembly's most consequential

votes occurred.

China, you see, essentially has two governments.

There's the Republic of China which used to control the mainland and Taiwan but today

only administers Taiwan and there's the People's Republic of China which controls

the mainland.

Both claim to be the rightful governments of all of the Chinese territory—both Taiwan

and the mainland—and so back in 1971 the United Nations had to decide which government

would represent China.

Essent ially, the question was which government was the rightful leader of the territory as

there could only be one in the United Nations.

The US was the main superpower opposing the People's Republic representing China as

it had a strong political and military alliance with the Republic of China government and

so the vote was essentially the US' sphere of influence versus the world.

Among the 35 countries that voted against the People's Republic were much of Africa—the

Central African Republic, Chad, Gabon, Liberia, Niger, South Africa, and plenty of others

that sided with the US.

Despite the US's efforts, the resolution ended up passing and the representative government

for China in the UN was switched to the People's Republic of China but what's interesting

about this is not the result, it's who voted against the People's Republic.

Since that 1971 vote, you see, something has changed.

In 2007, the UN general assembly met once again to vote on whether to adopt a resolution

condemning the human rights situation in North Korea.

As one of North Korea's strongest allies, this vote was China and its sphere of influence

versus the world.

In this vote, though, only Burundi, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia,

Madagascar, Malawi, Mauritania, and Tanzania voted against China.

All the 43 other African countries either abstained or voted no along with China because

in the forty years between those votes, political ties changed.

Africa no longer bows to the US.

Much of the continent is now economically and politically aligned with the world's

fastest emerging superpower—China.

The simple answer for why this is is because China has pumped huge amounts of money into

the continent of Africa.

They're buying allies.

For example, China built a $3.2 billion railway in Kenya trekking the 300 miles from Nairobi,

the capitol, to Mombassa, the second largest city and primary port, in 4 hours and 30 minutes.

That's faster than what the fastest train in the US, the Acela Express, takes to travel

the equivalent distance from Philadelphia to Boston.

China also built a $526 million dam in Guinea which helped push the country from having

constant power shortages to making more energy than it needs and selling the extra capacity

to its neighbors.

China also built a $475 million light rail system in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, the first

of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa, designed as a way to combat the capital's crippling

traffic.

These are only a sampling.

There are literally hundreds of others of Chinese infrastructure projects in Africa

each year.

All across the continent, China is playing a part in projects both big and small that

are transforming African economies.

It's important to note that these projects are not, though, free.

Each of these three were financed by loans granted by China's state-owned and controlled

Export-Import bank and these loans do, of course, need to be paid back by the countries

granted them.

Large African infrastructure projects, though, would be viewed as risky by any traditional

bank and would therefore struggle to get financed but China's export-import bank doesn't

care.

Assuming cooperation between the Chinese and African countries' governments, this bank

will give low-interest or no-interest loans to African countries so they can build these

trains or dams or other projects.

These loans are therefore considered a form of foreign aid since China doesn't expect

to get all their money back, at least adjusted for inflation, since they're not charging

much interest and there's a high risk of default.

Of course China isn't just financing these projects out of kindness.

For each of them there's a political goal behind it.

You see, the country of China is running out of growth potential.

Its era of double digit year over year GDP growth is over as it makes the shift from

industrializing to industrialized.

Africa, meanwhile, is one of the least developed areas of the world and a lack of development

actually makes fast growth easy.

The first step of economic development for many countries is natural resource exploitation.

Nearly every country has some level of natural resources that they can use to kickstart growth

but first they need to have enough money to build the infrastructure and take the steps

needed to gather these natural resources.

As everyone knows, it takes money to make money and China has money.

By investing in African mining and farming, China can profit off of Africa's growth

and fuel the business back in China that require minerals and food, but in addition to it serving

as a source of natural resources, Africa has another resource—labor.

It might seem strange that China, the country that the world uses for low-cost manufacturing,

is looking for a labor source elsewhere but that is exactly what it's doing.

China is a victim of its own success.

The economic development that its manufacturing industry brought pushed a large segment of

its population into the middle class which raised labor costs country-wide.

It's not bad news, China as a country has shifted from having a low-skilled to a medium-skilled

workforce as their education level has improved, but for the lowest cost, lowest skilled manufacturing

work, the country of China is no longer competitive.

Therefore, Chinese manufacturing firms are setting up their own operations in Africa—one

of the cheapest and lowest skilled labor markets in the world.

Today, China is now the largest trading partner with Africa as a whole.

Despite China being a vastly larger country than the US in population, the US and China

both trade a similar value of goods worldwide each year.

In this case, though, whereas $48 billion worth off goods were exchanged between the

US and Africa in 2016, China traded $128 billion worth of goods—nearly three times as much.

Now, the whole idea of setting up a structure of power over other less developed states

in order to gather resources and use their labor force might sound familiar because that's

largely what colonialism was.

The motives behind European powers expanding their territory to less developed nations

in the 15th through 20th centuries were remarkably similar to the motivations behind China's

growing economic influence in the developing world today.

Despite what some may say, there is empirical evidence that China has been using these infrastructure

investments to affect worldwide politics.

It's been found that if an African country recognizes Taiwan as a country they receive,

on average, 2.7 fewer Chinese infrastructure projects within their borders each year.

Conversely, if an African country votes overwhelmingly along with China in the United Nations General

Assembly, they receive 1.8 more infrastructure projects per year.

Considering that the General Assembly is an equal representative body where each country

gets one vote no matter if they have a million residents or a billion, China's getting

a lot of influence for, in the grand scheme of things, not a lot of money.

China touts the fact that their foreign investment and aid is "no strings attached."

Unlike other institutions that give low or no-interest loans to developing countries

like the International Monetary Fund or World Bank, China give loans with no requirements

on factors like respect of human rights or democratic elections.

Of course, this data linking infrastructure investment with political leanings shows that

there are indeed hidden strings that require benefit for China rather than benefit for

the receiving country.

Western powers are understandably concerned about this shift in power dynamics towards

a country with vastly different ideals.

In 2017, China entered a select club as it opened a military base in Djibouti.

While four other countries have bases in Djibouti—France, Italy, Japan, and the US—this base was unique

as it was China's first base abroad and those by themselves, military bases abroad,

are unique.

Only 15 of the world's most developed and militarily powerful countries worldwide have

them and now China is one of them.

Although, western powers might be worried for the wrong reasons.

The government of China is clearly putting a lot of focus and money into Africa but not

as much as you'd think based off the result they're getting—vast amounts of influence

over a whole continent.

There are two key numbers to look at.

In 2015, China loaned just $12 billion to African countries.

In the same year, the country invested a mere $3 billion in the continent.

That's just not much but the reason China is gaining this enormous influence over the

continent is because the Chinese government no longer has to force this phenomenon.

Private Chinese industry is taking hold of Africa.

Of the estimated 10,000 Chinese businesses in Africa, 90% of them are privately owned

rather than one of the numerous Chinese state-run companies.

The Chinese companies in Africa are actually making money—some substantially so.

The Chinese government certainly has provided a considerable push to the industrialization

of Africa but now that that's done, economic forces are moving the initiative further forward.

Chinese small business is gripping the continent.

Much of the western world is ignoring the prospects of the continent—ignoring that

business in Africa can now be as profitable as business in China was when its period of

tremendous growth began.

Right now, Africa is establishing itself as the source of labor and resources for China

and so, until the west pays attention, Africa will continue inching forward on its path

towards becoming China's China.

One of the techniques used to predict the GDP or GDP growth of a country, which is of

course used to decide which country to invest in, is machine learning.

For example, here's what a machine learning model predicted a country's GDP would be

over three months and here's what it actually was.

It forecasted the country's GDP far better than humans did.

The science behind predictions like this is complex but fascinating.

If you want to learn how it works, though, the best place to do so is brilliant.org.

Lady Gaga Lifestyle ★ 2018 - Duration: 10:29.

Lady Gaga was born to Joseph Anthony Germanotta Jr and Cynthia Louise, in Manhattan, on March

28, 1986.

She was originally christened Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta,

by her parents.

Stefani was admitted to a Roman-Catholic institution named 'Convent of the Sacred Heart' when

she was eleven years old.

Apparently, the girl was a good student who excelled both in Academics as well as

extra-curricular activities.

Lady Gaga first tryst with music at the age of four, when she was introduced to the piano.

When she was barely thirteen years old, Stefani had even penned her first

ballad tailored for the piano.

She moved to the renowned 'New York University's 'Tisch School for The Arts' after graduating

from school, since the institution encouraged music by offering

training classes in musical theatre.

However, she discontinued her studies just a year after joining the institution.

After taking a sabbatical from college in 2005, Stefani decided to try her luck to get

a break in the music industry.

She first collaborated with American hip-hop artiste Melvin Grover on an audio

book project aimed at children.

Lady Gaga even formed a band named 'SG Band' the same year, for which she joined hands

with a few friends like Alex Beckmann and Eli Silvermann, who were also

students of the 'New York University'.

The band started making waves in New York, after it started performing at various nightclubs

around the city, such as the 'Mercury Lounge' and 'The Bitter End'.

Their gigs earned 'SG Band' quite a few fans and they soon grabbed the attention of

a music producer named Joe Vulpis, with whom the band worked for a brief period

in 2005.

The band's talent was noticed by a musician named Wendy Starland in 2006.

This man even introduced Stefani to a music producer named Rob Fusari at around the same

time.

Rob wanted to form a new band altogether with a lead female vocalist.

Lady Gaga started shuttling between New York and New Jersey quite often from then on, in

a bid to record new songs which she had written for Fusari.

Apparently, its Rob who gave her the name Gaga, inspired

by the famous song 'Radio Ga ga'.

The singer and the producer even entered into business and started a firm named 'Team

Lovechild'.

Together, they produced some unusual pieces of music, mainly

belonging to the Synthpop genre.

The tracks received accolades from the music fraternity and soon, many opportunities came

knocking at Gaga's door.

One of them being the offer from the American record label, 'Def Jam Recordings', who

wanted to experiment by bringing out an album using this singer's voice.

Unfortunately, Gaga's relationship with the record label ended within a short period,

after which Lady Gaga started working with a label named 'Interscope Records', in

2007.

The young singer worked mainly as a lyricist and penned a few songs

for the celebrity singers associated with the label.

A few of these eminent people include Britney Spears and 'The Pussycat Dolls'.

The record label 'RedOne' gave Gaga her much needed career break in 2008, through

the single 'Just Dance'.

The song went on to become well-acclaimed by both critics

and music lovers.

It also became popular in discotheques and nightclubs, thus, Gaga's music dream finally

took wings.

2009 saw the release of 'The Fame Monster', which was more like an extension of her earlier

album 'The Fame'.

The tracks of this album went on to become chartbusters,

especially 'Bad Romance', which took the radio and the world of internet by storm.

After tasting success with her earlier ventures, Gaga returned with her second official music

album in 2011, titled 'Born This Way'.

The same year she also staged a concert titled 'Monster Ball', which was

held at Madison Square Garden, New York City.

The singer had earned approximately $220 million through the tour.

In 2012, Gaga travelled to South Korea for another musical tour titled 'Born This Way

Ball'.

Eventually 110 shows were staged under this name and helped Gaga reached

the peak of her career.

Book-Tube-A-Thon: House of Books (cc) - Duration: 2:24.

Hi Guys I'm Shelly and welcome to day....2 of the booktubeathon

I'm already bedraggled and don't know where I am.

I should be reading but instead I am making booktube videos why?

Because it's fun and because I'm daft

So I am about to attempted day 2 book challenge. which is to make a tower, or a house out of books.

But sadly we are not allowed to stack them........ like that, I can't do horizontally.

And if you have met me, or not and just watch my videos. You will know I'm slightly uncoordinated

Yeah, but I'm about to attempt it. I have 30 seconds on the clock.

What can you do in 30 seconds? But apparently that's the rules

So 30 seconds it is. Watch me try to attempt some sort of book thing....

30 seconds on the clock, big pile of books.

Oh god why am I doing this again?

Alan Alda is gonna be the base of this. Because his books are roughly the same size. Go.....

They're standing up, this is a good sign...

Music...

Beep Beep Beep

and my 30 seconds are up already, that went well dinnit.

That's all we managed, was 2 levels. So I think it's only fair, I mean I know I'm out of time.

It's only fair that Stitch gets to go on top.

Castiel there, and.......

Thump*

Well that went well didn't it!

Being that I am Stitch and I have Stitch on my arm, and Stitch was on top of it.

What do you expect? He just decided to go in, and trample on my said tower, before I even got a chance to name it.

It was the sad tower that was. But there is my creation for day 2 of the booktubeathon challenges.

reading wise oh I have no idea where I am. I'm kind of halfway through sort of everything.

I keep reading and getting bored with books.

Not that they're bad books, it's just my brain is is jumping about all over the place.

So basically at the moment, I'm reading all 7 books at once.

This is going well.....

Hope you guys are good, and I will see you guys tomorrow for the next challenge.

If I can get my butt out of bed. I am really very tired now....okay byeee

I really hope I got that on camera...

James Elder Final for youtube REV 1 - Duration: 2:06.

One thing that's really exciting, a lot of fun, about studying vision is that it is so

powerful that we don't actually think about it from day to day.

We just use it.

It's only when we pause and think, wait, how do I actually do this, that we start to think

about just how complex the problem is.

We're interested in trying to build more intelligent artificial vision systems based on a better

understanding of human vision.

We call this biologically-inspired computer vision.

The human visual system is a truly remarkable and very powerful system, so we're trying

to understand that and then use that knowledge to build better systems.

The challenge for AI in general and for my lab in particular is to behave more like humans

behave when faced with challenging problems.

There are several principles that human perception uses that machine vision doesn't.

One is that we always see in 3D.

Even if you close one eye, you don't suddenly think the world has gone 2D, it's a 3D world still.

And that's something that computer vision systems still can't really do.

A second thing is that human vision is very attentive.

We select which part of the scene we want to process.

That's something we still need to work on in computer vision.

A third thing is that human perception is very adaptive.

We change environments, you know, it's suddenly been snowing outside, and many computer vision

systems will kind of fall apart because they weren't trained to deal with that potentially,

or something has changed, but we adapt very quickly.

Vision in particular is a really cool thing to study because we experience it every moment

of our lives, we can do this real diversity of tasks: recognizing people, appreciating

shape, appreciating beauty.

It's kind of automatic, and yet there are, in secret, these billions of neurons working away.
