Nature + Engineering - Duration: 6:45.

Welcome back to Nature League!

This month has been all about evolution and speciation.

However, it's a special month with 5 Thursdays, and that means it's time for our special

segment called "Nature+"!

"Nature+" is a segment where we investigate nature in the context of something else.

For this month's "Nature+" segment, we're going to explore Nature plus engineering.

Basically, discovering how engineering and design takes some pointers from life on Earth.

[CHEERY INTRO THEME]

Using nature to inspire designs is an engineering discipline called "biomimicry".

Like other feats of engineering and design, most biomimicry projects are directed at solving

problems using innovation.

It turns out that some of the coolest projects underway were inspired by designs found in

other species.

Low-pain mosquito needles.

There are a lot of people who steer clear of the doctor's office because of the idea of needles.

Getting your blood drawn typically, well, hurts.

However, mosquito bites, which pretty much do the same thing, are initially pretty painless,

and sometimes unnoticeable.

That's because they use a special design that reduces the surface area of the point

of impact.

Scientists are now working on incorporating this design into medical needles to reduce pain.

Sharkskin antibiotics.

Antibacterial resistance poses one of the biggest public health risks of the 21st century.

A lot of this resistance comes from overuse of antibiotic agents that kill bacteria.

So instead of trying to kill microorganisms… what if we just created surfaces where they

don't like to grow?

A product called Sharklet™ is an example of shark skin biomimicry.

This engineered surface works similarly to the dermal denticles of shark skin, and provide

an unsuitable environment for bacteria.

Gecko foot adhesives.

This is an adhesive developed at Kiel University in collaboration with the company Gottlieb

Binder GmbH & Co. KG.

The inspiration came from looking at gecko feet and leaf beetles.

And by looking, I mean looking really closely.

Gecko®-Tape has microscopic elements that allow it to stick to wet and slippery surfaces,

and it doesn't leave any residue behind.

Solar panels.

The idea of turning light energy into usable energy isn't exactly new to life on Earth.

Through the process of photosynthesis, plants have been doing this for a long time.

Not only do solar panels mimic this incredible process, but some can actually follow the

sun the same way that plants do, in a process called phototaxis.

The Bullet Train.

Transportation is a major area of engineering innovations.

One of the most famous transportation biomimicry examples comes from the kingfisher bird.

When engineers in Japan were designing high speed bullet trains, they ran into issues with noise.

Kingfishers move from the air into the water almost seamlessly, and the designs of their

beaks inspired the less noisy, and more energy efficient, Shinkansen Bullet Train.

While most of the biomimicry products we've discussed so far are either still in development

or not really everyday items, there are all kinds of things we encounter every day that

use designs that have been around much longer than humans.

While some of these designs weren't inspired by life on Earth, life on Earth also uses them.

Sort of like co-evolution, we find the designs of everyday items in many species on Earth.

To name a few, I figure there's no better place than inside a home.

Thanks for watching this special Nature + segment of Nature League. Make sure to come

back next week for a Lesson Plan on our brand new theme: plants.

!ENG SUB! Clinch in Duels. Lesson 21 Historical medieval Battle - Basics - Duration: 13:55.

Hello! Today we will talk about working in a clinch in duels.

Today Batiste Hvati is visiting us.

I happened to meet him at the store. In the store "Donjon".

This store is located here in the gym. The store provided us with these good shields.

We will talk with you about the work in the clinch. Basically, how to work as a shield.

We showed you the basic knowledge. Basically this is pure fencing without close contact with the enemy.

But, this is the most important part of dueling fencing, which is now at the competitions.

If you watch the fights, you will see few blows. Fights go either at a long distance

Or there is work in the near distance. When there are captures, shoving shields behind the enemy's back and so on.

Now we consider two main situations.

Let's start with a simple one. Enemy weapons hit us in the left thigh.

We missed the blow and what we will do next.

Let's find out.

Baptiste, hit me in the left thigh.

I'll put the shield down anyway.

Usually a person simply drops the shield and regrets that he missed the blow.

But you are an experienced fighter!

You grab his sword with your shield.

After that, you will have freedom of action, while the enemy is trying to return his sword.

You can take a step forward to pull the time.

And you just ...

Do a few strikes.

I Immediately tell you what we do.

We will switch places and show again.

Hit. Grabbed it.

The best that we can do. We show the upper blow, we beat in the leg.

And we repeat this blow, we deceive the opponent.

Usually, that's all we can do. More can not be done.

The enemy will have time to return the sword.

But you have time to make a feint and hit the leg.

First of all, the opponent will defend his head.

Now we will show how it turns out to grab the enemy's weapons.

I missed the blow.

And I just lower the shield down and grab the sword of the enemy. The capture of the sword takes place between your fist and the edge of the shield.

Cover the sword with a shield and press it against your thigh.

Do not grab the sword with your hand!

The steel sword is less voluminous than the soft sword.

We clamp the opponent's sword in this triangular space.

How to return the sword? Just pull it on yourself. Try it!

Pull it on yourself!

Only so the sword can be returned.

In the end, it looks like this. We work on speed.

Now a little bit faster

You can easily practice this technique. Just ask your friend to hit you just in the hip.

Consciously substitute your hip for a blow.

A little paced.

This is not prohibited by the rules of the tournament. It is forbidden to grab the sword by hand.

But the hand is still difficult to grasp.

This can be an element of your tactics. This is often used in a duel with a buckler.

If you notice, in such duels almost do not beat on the legs.

Is that only at the end of the battle. This is dangerous, because your sword can be captured by the enemy.

For one missed strike, you are beaten twice.

Or go to the clinch. Which is also unpleasant.

About this kind of grasp we talked.

Now let's talk about the most important.

This is a grip on the arm.

Armed hand.

How does this usually happen?

It is very difficult to hide your defensive position. Especially if it's a Quinta

If he passes well from Quinta to Tertia. He took his pelvis far away. Such rivals are hard to break through.

This task can be solved easier.

Batiste, get up in the quinta.

Assume that Baptiste is very fast and agile. I can not break through his defense.

I can not.

But I'm bigger, stronger and I love clinching.

I walk over to Batiste.

With my sword I control his weapons. He should not take it away.

And I shove my shield under his shoulder.

I take my sword away. Batiste can not beat me.

And I put blows on him.

I turned off his hand from work. When your arm is pressured from below, you can only hit the enemy's head.

Now we will not develop this topic. The first way is to shove a hand under the enemy's shoulder. Come on again.

Control the weapons of the enemy. And shove your hand under his shoulder.

The deeper the better.

The harder it is to get out.

If the rules allow hard and long clinches, you can do even more evil.

You can use your head.

Control, grip.

And pull his hand.

We pulled Batiste on ourselves.

Press it here with your palm on top.

Batiste can not escape from here.

And in the first and second cases, when you enter the clinch. ..

It is better to show it separately.

Quinta, please

You reach for your hand, but if your opponent is experienced ...

(Operator, get around us on the other side.)

Your experienced rival will also reach for your hand.

Pull the shield, please.

A good fighter must do just that.

Otherwise, he will lose.

If you have a good and experienced opponent, he will repeat your movements.

How can this be avoided?

As soon as you come to him...

You must press his shield against his body.

Press the guard of the sword into the plane of the shield.

This will give you time before he grabs you.

If you are stronger and more experienced ...

We are fencing...

We pressed him.

Try to shove your shield under my arm.

Fint and blow. Always control his hand!

If Batiste remains in a passive position, he will get punches.

If he does not try to grab me. His shoulder and leg under my blow

Do not forget to control his hand.

So you can stand for a long time.

How can he be saved?

Especially when I climbed so deep.

It's almost impossible to get out of here.

His only salvation is to make a jump and shove his arm in my armpit.

Do it.

Jump on the arm! (He is French and sometimes does not understand the commands in Russian)

Yes, right here.

Now I will resist. Try to do it

Our task is not to let him do it. But he has a chance when I beat him from above.

I make a swing and my hand opens. He can grab me.

If I make a feint and beat him on the leg ...

( Stand in a left-sided stance.)

He can stand and wait. I do not let him open.

I control his hand.

But as soon as I hit his thigh, he can make the first move.

He presses his sword to his leg.

Then he draws near to me and I can not return my sword.

We looked at the situation in its development.

When you see how I fight with Ilya Ivanov.

Or me and Petrik.

Buckler or shield. The fighting looks like this.

We are trying to do something at a safe distance.

Hit the hand.

And then, when we get bored or someone starts losing. One point or two.

We have to initiate a melee. A melee, it's not an exchange of blows in the vicinity. It's a clinch.

That is, we do something like this.

(Draw your hand to me.)

Sometimes it's all very funny.

That is, two tough fighters go to each other.

And they wait until the judge disengages them.

If you do not know how to work in clinching, and do not know at least these two methods.

Cover with a shield. Pick up.

Without this, you will not win a duel.

You fight with a person who knows about clinching and you can not do anything with him.

You can not make a combination or other of your ideas.

He is either far away from you, and you have to fence at a long distance.

Or he grabs you and hits you.

Because if you do not know what to do when you are grabbed by the arm. Or put your sword to the hip.

You can not do anything and the shield will not save you.

Your hand is grabbed, you can not beat with it. And they beat you.

This can last a very long time.

About prohibitions and permits.

These techniques are almost impossible to prohibit.

If the capture is prohibited, where you use the head, you can always just straighten your arm.

Let me show you this.

Straighten your arm. Look at the judge and say, "I did not break anything!"

"He got himself here"

But you climbed, of course.

But this is a good argument for the judge.

When you lower the shield down, this can also be done. This can not be forbidden.

You do not grab the sword. You press it with a shield.

Use it!

Learn and practice.

Mormon to Atheist to Mormon | Leo's Story - Duration: 19:40.

Alright guys, we're here with our friend Leo and Leo is dressed in a white shirt and a tie,

so guess what religion he is?

Jehovah's Witness.

I'm kidding, I'm kidding!

Yeah, Leo is LDS, and you've got a great story.

So we're gonna talk about it.

Tell us a little bit about you where you're from, you know. Yeah, so I grew up in the church,

I am from Utah. I actually grew up downtown Sugarhouse area and then we moved to Bountiful.

Yeah so I lived in the bubble.

On my mission, I served in Uruguay and then I came home and went to BYU and met wife and

now I live in Dallas. Oh you live in Texas? Yeah. I didn't know that. My mom lives in Dallas. Yeah.

So you grew up LDS. A lot of people can relate to that and then

there was a period in your life, however, where you

stopped believing.

Yeah, yeah, so as we all know

the sunday-school narrative of the church

which is a wonderful narrative.

It's faith promoting. It's helpful. It's not super deep sometimes and you know,

especially as growing up the church, most of us

don't have a lot of interest in digging deeper and

understanding church history. It can be boring a lot of us.

I thought it was boring growing up and

you know the internet really helps

to

educate us.

Sometimes we don't really want to be educated, but we can be educated and in a lot of ways and so

curiosity after my mission

actually, right after I was married, I started, you know, I heard something interesting

somewhere somewhere online about Joseph having you know, 30-plus wives. And I saw a video

on YouTube that was a video of I think the Manti pageant, right? You had all these

women lined up with signs and saying, "I'm

wife number one" then her name and I'm like, man. These people are just making up stuff.

This is not true and so I started researching and you know

because I didn't really talk about that. My parents taught me great things, but we never really, you know,

dove into those kind of issues and so-- into those items of church history, right? So, yeah

Yeah, so that that kind of led me on a path of research. It went on for

probably about a year or so and

it was all negative. I was just curious, I wanted to know. I just I ignored any LDS sources like, you know

anything that I thought because I thought this is, I'm gonna look at what the other side is saying.

Yeah, so as I dug deep I lost my testimony and I turned to atheism.

I lost all faith and that happened about six and a half, seven years ago, right around the time my first son

was born.

So yeah, so I was without faith. I kept going to church

with my wife because I loved her and I wanted to but I was checked out, you know, I had phone, I just would,

you know, read stuff at church and I did not want to be there.

But I wanted to support her and

eventually, what happened was I went to

well

eventually, I had this thought come to my head out of the blue and it was a voice that said

"Contact Stephen Harper" and Stephen Harper was

one of my professors at BYU when I was there and he taught D&C and

it came out of the blue and I thought well, that's kind of interesting. Why should I do that?

And I thought maybe he could answer some of these difficult questions that I have. Yeah, and

And so I sent him an email and he replied and the email was kind. It was honest and he

was

very helpful. And so I went from that point kind of recharged me. Like I call it like my spiritual

defibrillator or like it shocked me with academia and with research and with just honesty and kindness.

Yeah, and it wasn't like he was telling me to go and you know, read your scriptures more. He said here are the facts and

here's what I think about those facts as a historian and he provided me that

chance to re-examine my assumptions about everything I've been reading.

So that started me on the path back to faith.

So I think that's really interesting because a lot of people

when they, you know,

they go toward atheism--

going back to faith is difficult because you know in your mind, you're pretty sure there's not a God.

The idea of faith, you're just sort of fooling yourself into all these things

but how did you how did you get past that wall of

even entertaining the idea of faith is just self delusion and things of that nature, how'd you get past that?

So that's been one of the biggest challenges I think for me is, you know rationalizing away spiritual feelings.

I had a lot of spiritual experiences growing up. On my mission

I had some powerful experiences and when your paradigm is rocked, right, your

comfortable state in the church

without this deeper knowledge of church history and contemporary issues and you're just kind of happily

going along which is great to do, I mean

my dear family that have lived and died

without any kind of deeper knowledge, right and they are always faithful

but once your paradigm is blown away, your initial, you know, Easy Street kind of level of

gospel knowledge and church historical knowledge, then you have to receive some kind of additional help.

Yeah, so as an atheist, I

wasn't one that was out, you know

evangelizing my lack of belief, but I had stopped praying

on my own. I would pray with my wife

but it was just to make her happy. So I didn't believe I was praying to anybody.

And so, you know my whole world was rocked by the critical

information. No faithful perspective. So once I heard that there's a rational and

reasonable faithful perspective, that really helped me to come back. I didn't think there was one,

I thought that was just the truth that I was reading and then I realized that

not all the critical information is false, right? That's one of the things that growing up in the church

is kind of hard to

understand is that you have a lot of facts that are mingled with

spin I like to call it. Yeah.

And what we occasionally get into trouble at too is I'm an LDS apologist, right? So I

sometimes we will push a little bit further than what the facts

say so I'm gonna try to spin on our side but the critics I was listening to and really following and believing

they spin a lot of stuff. Yeah, and that was where I started to you know

reverse-engineer my way away from that mindset. And I think it's interesting because I think that a

church apologists are

you know, they're they're often accused of

Spinning the truth themselves or of putting a narrative or bias behind something but I don't I don't think that's single to

Apologetics and religion. I think that's how opinion works, you know in political discourse you report what's happening

But you give your opinion and every any any topic of thought

that's even slightly deep you you have some sort of spin on you have your take on it and

so I think

You have that

with people who are critical of religion and critical of faith and yet those who are defending it, you know, someone says

You know Joseph Smith had this many wives

I think it was disgusting and it was you know, a sexual predator all this stuff. And then the apologist says

You know

We have we we have no children from any of the the wives of Josephus or to mean she wasn't a sexual predator he did

Have model was you're coming from two different angles, but you both agree on this

And I think if you can both agree on something

I

think that's where it starts and sometimes you can't agree right, but but

as the conversations come people are now starting to agree and I think I

Think Mormonism is so interesting because the claims that make are it's so bold, right?

The Book of Mormon we we don't just have a really ancient manuscript of the Book of Mormons because this is an ancient

Mesopotamian document and we we think it's true and here's why it's gold plates given to you by an angel, you know, it's like

Very very bold. Yeah, which means if anything in it is accurate at all

Then that's really telling and luckily there are things in the Book of Mormon that are accurate

So because of that, that's where that's where people go. Wait a minute. I I

I do want to say there's no god. There's nothing

But that's really interesting that this says this how would that happen if without divine intervention?

So then so I think it's I just think it's really interesting

So we didn't an episode where the next member of the church a really good guy. We we joked around we had a fun time

he uh

But he said that what works about Mormon culture

But also hurts Mormon culture is that he said Mormons are too good at disproving other religions

mhm, and we said it was coming whatwhat do you mean he says, you know Mormons are

Mormons become accountants and businessmen for a reason Lauren juror very analytical and so we're in that way

We're good at we learned history about other faiths so we can use it against them. We're good at that and it's because of that

we

Whenever we're people lose faith in our church. They go. Well, I'm not gonna become a Catholic. I'm not gonna become an evangelical

I'm not gonna have already proved those wrong my head. I'm just a guest there's no God. Yes

Yep. Yep, so we have the only true living church

and so when that's out of the picture as an atheist, you you know, you say well that's there's only one true church, so

Everything else must be false, right? Exactly. And so when he that miracle

When I had that thought come into my head. It was just out of the blue

I'm just I'm so grateful for it and I'm grateful for brother Harper and

I met with them and talked about this and I actually interviewed him on in our group

Uplift study group on Facebook so you can look us up. That'd be great enjoying and send your

You know family friends to our group if you'd like to look it up. It's great

We talked about, you know, you can ask ask any question as long as it's sincere. You're not trying to hurt

Faith, you're trying to help your your faith grow then it's welcome

But so anyway, yeah, so I've interviewed him and thank him in person for all he did

For me and and of course, I think my Savior over and over again

Through my worship and in church and my Heavenly Father through my prayers

So I've kind of a deep question when you were an atheist

Were there still parts of the gospel you believed in or that you couldn't reconcile to be false?

So I was I was a girl I was growing into my atheism, right? So it takes time

It's not like, you know, I had this revelation. I'm an atheist and all of a sudden everything is gone

And so you still see good in certain?

aspects of the church

Right and you you're I'm very analytical in the way

I process things and so I would still look at things that were positive like the community

Service, you know encourage to serve and all those things, but all the truth claims became

More and more pale over time until that recharge happened. But yeah, I know as

And it was just it was a lack of belief. Yeah and God

I just didn't believe in God, so I wasn't actively you know, promoting that idea

I didn't want to hurt anybody because I have a very faithful wife. Yeah, I love her with all my heart

She was patient with me

I mean

I finally came to her and told her I was I didn't tell her because I was afraid of hurting her and I didn't well

I didn't want to um, you know, I didn't want to cause harm I didn't want to lose her. Yeah, I goodness

because that would be a real hard thing to deal with right is if you have something that you've made covenants with and they

And they're gone, you know, so I didn't want to do that

So when I went told her I was on my way out

when I was in the safe zone and I said there's nothing else that I

Gonna lose my testimony at this point. Yeah. I've been saved. Wow, that's amazing

Why should we not not view doubt as the end-all be-all?

Killer of the thing. That's scary, right?

Yeah, if you're a doubter stay away from you because I don't want to you know be infected. Yeah, and that happens in our church

We need to create safe places for people

That are having doubt. That's very important. And I'm trying to do that. I know you guys are try and do that

and we need to get educated and

Sometimes that's thrust upon us. Right if you have someone our own lives, obviously mine

But we have a family member or a friend that we care about that turns to a lack of belief and has extreme doubt

We're kind of forced to figure it out and we have to study a little bit have to dive in

But the best approach I think is to learn

proactively about difficult issues right and to be prepared for

These things and so on you have to go through what I've been through. Yeah, I

think that

The the the comforter the Holy Spirit yet. He does his job

but we're not the Holy Spirit, you know, they comfort her job as a comfort we can comfort people but I think

apologetics and diving into the Word of God and and and

Reasoning and rationalizing with people that does worlds are good, especially for young people. I

Mean, we're both Millennials. Actually, I don't think I'm little any old Danny. I'm Jonesy. Oh Jesus, I just

Well, I think people my age so hard-headed and I think sometimes the old school just have faith

Just pray read your scriptures and that's that. I don't think that's that's cutting it for a lot of people

You know, I like Wilder Ballard said, you know about you got to get in you have to look at those things

That might be more difficult

But you you do it with the spear you come out on top I I think I have a deeper appreciation for Joseph Smith

When I learned more about him

You know when it when he's just this perfect like I'm Joseph Smith and everything was great and then some evil men assassin me

But you learned he was complex and all the prophets are complex because they're people your complex on complex. We make these mistakes and so

God still uses us

And I think being comfortable with the fault of prophets being comfortable with not knowing

But being on a path in which you are seeking to know and you're doing in a faithful uplifting way, I think that's tight

That's discipleship. And I think that's righteousness - I was going to say I did a Facebook live video

a while ago and I

talked about two sides of history and

An atheist friend of mine said there are two sides of the history. That was his comment. Am I on my feet right? And

And some people will look at history

And and yes, we can look at the historical facts the data

You know storable documents primary source documents and we can say this is what these were the documents say

This is what someone were on their journal. This is what someone said about so-and-so and

And that can tell us a part of the picture right? But we have to rely on historians

To be able to read into the facts of history read the documents understand the cultural context of the time

Avoid thinking errors, like present ISM. Yeah, and you've got to be able to avoid that stuff to be able to come away with a

Somewhat

High probability of the whys of what happened, right? Yeah

and so as is a you know rank and file the church that I was I

Look at this sensationalized material that's produced by the critics. And a lot of it is that's a fact right? I know it and

My assumptions immediately go to

well, I didn't know this and so I'm going to assume the worst and I assume that worse for a long time and

And so we've got to be patient

With material that we read it's so important to be patient and to be able to say what am I assuming about these facts?

I can't see directly into the mind and heart of Joseph Smith

I can't I can read his words and I can I can you can take his words

And say, you know, he's a monster

You had those words you could do that

you can do that and I did that and a lot of people do that or

you can take his words and you can say I think he's a prophet of God, and I'm going to assume the best and

and that's where the Spirit comes in like you said we've got to be able to have the Holy Ghost to soften our hearts and

Bring answers to our minds and be able to see into the heart and mind of these historical characters and really who they really were

And we can't listen to the critics. You got to not do it

Learn from them sure if you're exposed to it. That's okay

you can you can see I'm doubting and I you know, I realized that but

You've got to be able like you said study with the Holy Ghost and that will will so question turn into doubt and doubt

Removes testimony right actually preclude you from being able to have the spear in your life. And so try to

Research the good side of the history or the the historian the LDS historical

Perspective and and then go to God in prayer and have faith that he will soften your heart and he will answer your prayers

They I want to testify that

He will answer your prayers

So he answered mine. Yeah, so great. Yeah

So my email address if I can help you are a family member or a loved one

You can email me and it's Elio Leo my first name

winegar wi n e g AR at gmail.com

So please email me

or join our group on Facebook uplift study group, and I'd love to meet you virtually and then

If needed I could happen to call call again. And if I'm in your area, I'm in Utah today

I'll come meet you all. I'll help you. I'll give you a big hug. I

Love you

Well, thanks so much for coming in the show, this is great, this is great

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I guess the subscribe my Instagram Twitter comment below give us your thoughts and make sure you join uplift study clear

Its I'm a member that group it is a wonderful I learned so much and it really is uplifting

think you guys have managed to

Do apologetics and talk about things but with disappear on Facebook, which is not indeed addressed

The Holy Spirit on Facebook Jesus. Yeah. Well, that's a very difficult for me

when you were 16. You have purpose behind

your actions and that is powerful. You

can even bring this further. If you want

passion, start asking for it. Create date

ideas that pull for passion like tango

dancing or a beach fire. Was that first

kiss a little weak? Next time tell him to

grab you and kiss you like he means it.

Do you see what I mean? Being

unapologetic about what you want, is you

creating your purpose for dating. Now

take a minute and go down to the

comments and tell me what are some of

the things that you want? Practice now

being unapologetic. Make a declaration of

what you want, alright? Now the second

approach I want to give you for dating

with purpose is to date for the purpose

of your own expansion. Whatever you do

don't just make dating about what you

want. While the first suggestion I gave

you is powerful, it's also insufficient

and it will burn you out. So look at it

this way.

Imagine you're traveling and meeting all

kinds of different people. Don't you

learn so much about humanity and about

yourself when you do that? Bring that to

your date's. Now you're traveling your

own city beyond your limited view of

humanity and there is only so much to

gain from there. Just imagine

the difference if you had your

dating be about your own expansion in

that way. Alright and the third way for

you to bring purpose to your dating is

to date with pride. Shout it from the

rooftops!

Okay, this is an important conversation.

It is time for you to remove the

constraints that you have around dating

and looking for love. Are people around

you making you feel bad for still being

single? Screw them! Are others making you

feel like you shouldn't even want a

relationship? They're even worse! Do not

let others shame you around not having

what you want yet. You're allowed to want

whatever it is that you want and if you

want a chance of fulfilling it, you can't

be ashamed of it. If you're looking for

extraordinary love then I want you doing

this loud and proud! And the people in

your life best be getting behind you or

else you're just gonna have to wash out

that noise with how loud and proud you

are about what you want and how you're

gonna get it. So these are three ways

that you can bring purpose to your

dating life and I'm telling you they

have the capacity to revolutionize your

love life. Now can you tell this is a

different kind of conversation about

dating and love? This is power love! This

is what I'm talking about. And for many

of you, the next step is to sign up for

my free Power Love Workshop so you can

get more clear about what you want and

how to get it. Secondly, I want you to

listen to my interview with Laura

Kennedy from her Manifest Epic Love

Series. You're gonna hear some really

important conversations about power love.

For instance, you'll hear how setting

standards can be a sneaky way of not

having to risk your heart. You'll also

hear my personal story (which is a good one)

You'll hear about how achieving

power love is so much more than having a

checklist of traits. I could go on and on

but this is a conversation you'll want

to hear, so both those links will be in

the description below. Now you know I

always want to hear: Was this video

useful? Was it helpful? Tell me about it.

Do you have any questions? Be sure to ask

and I'll respond personally to them and

if you liked it, you know what to do,

click like, be sure to subscribe, share

it with someone that this could make a

difference with. Love yourself, love your

life and fall in love... don't settle!

People of beach city you might think that being a mayor is a fine and glamorous sort of thing

But I've been mayor this city for a decade and I know some things that Miss. Nano fois does

Not you see when you're the mayor you get blamed for everything

When the boardwalk has termites it's the mayor's fault. Wait aliens steal people

It's the mayor's fault when the mayor crashes the mayor mobile into the only cell tower in town

It's the mayor's fault. Most people can't handle that kind of pressure, but I can

So I say to you beach city citizens, just enjoy our wonderful ocean breeze and don't worry about a thing

The Village Part 1 | Garry's Mod - Duration: 31:21.

Hello everyone. My name is Crow_Se7en. Welcome to Garry's Mod

This map called The Village part 1. Say hello to Kenny

Kenny: Hello

Let's - - Bleh... Rusty

C7: Shall we begin? Kenny: Understood

Russian and English

Kenny: Why? Oh

I think the creator wants us to make this map more darker so we can't see anything

Kenny: It said it will make this map more realistic

C7: Are you sure? Kenny: I guess I will try that

Are you sure...? Are you sure...?

Kenny: Really

Once upon a time, you walked late at night, but something frightened you and you

decided to stay in the nearest barn, instead go back home. You slept for a while and

now decided to return to the house. Parents know that you stayed overnight in a barn,

but do not know why. But in any case, it's better to go home and sleep there, safe

Oh, Kenny is still doing the setting stuff. Great

Good?

Read the story. He didn't pay attention

So... We're staying at our farm friend's barn...

Kenny: We know who

Kenny: This place looks exactly like his barn

Our farm friend grows the hay... HAY!

We can't use the flashlight...

Kenny: Oh right...

Kenny: That's really hard to see anything!

Find another way

Kenny: Interesting...

That's scary...

Kenny: Where are you going?

I see something. Look over there!

Look, the light is over there

Kenny: It's far!

A house is over there

Kenny: Seriously, it's really hard to see

Kenny: Why did we go there?

We need to get in the house

Kenny: I can see the stars

It's really beautiful

It's ugly... It's ugly!

Stop stop stop...

Kenny: Good night

I don't want to sleep with you. Get out

Kenny: Obviously

It's still nighttime!

Kenny: Maybe we slept short

Please...

That's really helpful. They give the hints

C7: ... 1:00 AM! Kenny: I knew it! We slept short!

Oh, you put the food in the microwave. Thank you

Kenny: That's what we did in the college. Heat up the noodle soup

Put the food on the table

Come on, eat together

C7: Go to bed already? Ok... Kenny: Delicious... Already?!

Kenny: Who will wake up, eat food, and go back to sleep?

It called the midnight snack

Kenny: True

You can sleep on the floor

C7: What is wrong the windows? Kenny: It's still nighttime!

I don't see anything

Kenny: What do you think what time is it?

3:00AM!

I don't know...

Now what? I don't know what we are doing

Kenny: It said windows or something

Let's go upstairs

Kenny: I don't like this place

Oh, the parents room

This is a bathroom

Why did it have to be so bright in the bathroom?

Kenny: And why does this bathroom look so ugly like a prison bathroom?

Kenny: What are we looking for? C7: Find the key because we're locked in the house

What did you say? What did you say?!

C7: It said I don't need the key! Kenny: He doesn't need the key!

It's in the box!

I think we should split and search everywhere to find the key

Kenny: Yeah

Do you need to go to the toilet? Ok fine... Let's go to the bathroom...

Move move... Go to bed

Kenny: No thanks. Let's go to sleep

The parents are in their bedroom

Kenny: Seriously

Where is the telephone?

Kenny: I noticed they changed the color

Go upstairs

Kenny: We should call someone

Where is the phone?

Kenny: That's weird

Kenny: We're still looking for the phone

Oh my god, It's Windows XP!

Kenny: And the computer is loud

Kenny: Loud as a fan

Kenny: My god... That screen is awful

Kenny: That start up music

Now what?

Kenny: Now what?

Kenny: Yes, this is our farm friend's house. Look at the shelf

Minecraft

Let's check upstairs

I dunno

Damn...

Damn, chill out

Go go... Move move... Check the door. I dunno

Kenny: That was really good

I guess go to upstairs

Kenny: You better not scare us again!

Kenny: I don't like it

Look at the blood

Kenny: We should leave now

Fk fk fk go

It's upstairs. Duh!

Kenny: Now, we got the key

I know where it is

There you are

Kenny: Get the key?

It's green

Kenny: I know this song

It's just music

Get the key...

Kenny: I don't know

I don't know what you're saying

Kenny: Seriously, come on

Kenny: I don't understand

Kenny: It sounds like a robot's voice

The crate key

Ok

Why do we have to go to the basement?

Kenny: Ok, this is scary

Where is the flashlight

Hello

Oh hell no

Kenny: I don't like it

Hey wait!

It's hard to see anything

Kenny: I can't see anything!

Where are you? Oh

I don't know

Kenny: What are you doing?

Look, the ladder

Kenny: Seriously, what is going on?

I see the ladder

C7: But it won't let me to climb the ladder, need the flashlight Kenny: We need the flashlight

Kenny: I found it

Thank god!

Where?

I dunno

It's open

Go to the back of the house

Hello?

We leave that place... forever

Kenny: I don't like this house

Where?

I don't see anything outside

It said someone is outside

Go look at the windows

You do it

Just go

Just look at the windows

Oh, it's nothing

Kenny: Seriously

Kenny: This is really scary

I don't like it...

Kenny: Now, I'm - -

Kenny: Stay here!

Turn off the flashlight!

Kenny: Seriously, it gives me chills

I guess we're staying here overnight until we can get out in the morning

Kenny: No

Someone is walking

Kenny: Rise the white flag

Are you done?!

Kenny: That's really good

It said escape! Run! Run!

Wait, how?

No! No!

Good map. I like that

I hate that feeling

Very secret room

I bet the pictures of the inappropriate parts drawing

Kenny: I can't open the doors

This is the toys room... Ok

craft and puppy vlog | august 2018 - Duration: 7:56.

*intro music*

Hello everyone! It is me, Danna, from Waitlisted At Hogwarts

and I just wanted to say

really briefly before we get into this vlog

that it is Thursday morning and this actually wasn't the video I was intending to put up today

I had a whole other video

totally completely edited

I've been editing it for two days

somehow the footage from the SD card, as it was transferring to the computer

didn't work out

and the video would only play if my SD card was in my computer

so therefore would not upload to Youtube

and... I have to start from scratch

so... instead of editing that whole thing today

which took me forever to upload

*in dog voice* hi bebee

I'm going to be showing you this vlog

I really hope you enjoy it

it was supposed to be a reading vlog but ended up being more of a

booktube prep vlog

slash

crafty day

*in dog voice* hi bebee I know I'm filming

so instead of a reading vlog you are getting more of the crafty side of me

which I'm totally fine with

*in dog voice* hi mister!

*in dog voice* i knowww, you just want a hug don't you

*in dog voice* we all just want hugs

*laughing* o-kayyy, okay

*in dog voice* bebee I'm trying to film

I'm trying to film but you can sit right here

I hope you enjoy this!

I had a lot of fun on this day

and it gives you a sneak peek into future videos from me

so... I hope you enjoy!

hello everyone!

it is me Danna from Waitlisted At Hogwarts

and I have decided to open up a weekend

life

slash

reading

vlog

because

I'm just trying to film as much as possible at this point

I was going to start it yesterday

because I wanted to film my dogs at the dog park

because I thought it would be ADORABLE

and then my battery was fried

when I tried to charge it, it wouldn't hold charge

so I couldn't take my camera anywhere

today, I have some fun things planned!

I have to do some work first

and then my sister and I are going to go to Color Me Mine

which is like one of those painting ceramic-y places

so, I'll keep you updated

and then I also wanna, like

read a ton

so we'll see how that goes as well

just wanted to open this up

so

hello!

good morning!

and...

byeeee

*happy music plays*

hello everyone!

I'm now driving

my younger sister is holding the camera

which is my phone because my battery died again

while I was working

earlier this morning

OBD TPMS relearn on a Hyundai Azera using the VT56 TPMS Diagnostic Tool - Duration: 2:37.

How to perform an OPD relearn on a Hyundai Azera using a VT56 TPMS tool

The left front center on this vehicle is not in working order

So now we're going to need to replace it with a Dynamic Pro-Select sensor

So first we need to create new sensor IDs, so we're going to go to PROGRAM,

Select the sensor what we're working with and then select the Make, Model and Year,

Select CREATE and use the GREEN button to write the sensor IDs to the new sensor.

Now that it's been successfully programmed, we'll need to write to sensor IDs to the vehicle's ECU after it's been installed to the wheel.

Now that the sensor has been installed, we need to do a relearn procedure, so we're going to go to SERVICE and

for faster Make, Model and Year selection, we're going to scan the VIN

Select OK to continue,

and we're going to go to the OBD relearn procedure icon.

We'll need to follow the steps. The first thing we need to do is activate all of the sensors starting with the left front sensor.

Now we need to repeat it for the rest of the wheels and then follow the procedures.

Now that all the sensors have been activated we're going to follow the remaining steps, so press OK to continue,

Now let's plug it into the tool,

Press OK, and

it will show you where the OBD module is going to be located and plugged in.

Now we're going to press okay to write the IDs to the ECU.

Make sure that the ignition is on, and it's a successful transfer!

#BookNetFest 2018 Tag! [CC] - Duration: 15:09.

Hey guys! My name is Nikki aka The Dragon

Queen and today I'm here with the

BookNet Fest Tag. Now I was tagged in this by

Desirai over at Libri Libra and I can't

wait for BookNet Fest. I honestly can't.

I went last year and had so much fun. I

got to meet so many people and it was

inspiring. And it's so inspiring that I

once again am starting my BookTube

channel again! Whoo!

Now if you haven't noticed I haven't really

been on lately because I have a problem.

Mostly I haven't read much this year.

I haven't really acquired more books

either but I just I haven't read

anything or listened to anything this

year. I know

shame on me, shame on me but we're going

to change that. Yeah so first off, I

apologize for the lighting... I'm getting

readjusted-- reacquainted, also my phone is

currently haphazardly sitting on a box

on two books and a little plastic piece

on top of my tripod cause the little piece

that holds my phone where I could

actually, like, angle it to have the

better camera in the back, it's missing. I

don't know where it is. It's somewhere in

this house and I can't afford to replace

it right this second. So this is what you

get. But you get to see me! So it's

exciting, so excite! Like my haircut by

the way? Isn't it cute? All cut on the

side? This is actually a week growth.

Anyway losing track. So the first

question is to introduce myself so I'm

Nikki aka The Dragon Queen I have been

on BookTube for three ish years with the

last seven-eight months of a hiatus. I

live in Florida, I am 30, I'm married and

have two pets a dog and a cat: Jasmine and

Pixel. My husband and I are both in

the process or in the process of

adopting currently so we are hopefully

going to have a son or daughter soon as

well, somewhere between the ages of 2 and

13. We're not really picky. So we'll see.

Hobby wise, which you'll see with this

channel update, I like reading, writing,

crafting, Dungeons & Dragons, and gaming.

Not hard core at any of those except

for maybe Dungeons and Dragons. I may be

a little obsessed with D&D. If you ask my

friends they'll say it's a lot a bit of a

obsession. If you ask my husband he'll

say it's crazy obsessed. We don't ask

them. It's fine! On to the next question.

Are you going to BookNet Fest. Yes, I am!

This will be the second annual BookNet

Fest on September 7th and 8th and I went

last year. And it was so much fun! I was

so glad that I did. I didn't really know

what to expect last year and that was

when I was in BookTube but I was kind of

not feeling it. Like I was doing it, I

just I felt like I was in a rut. I wasn't--

I was just doing what everybody else was

doing and I didn't like it, like I didn't

like everybody does tag Tuesday you have

to do tag Tuesday. Everybody does follow

Friday you have to do follow Friday.

I wanted something different but I

didn't know how to branch out and I

didn't know how to talk to people. So my

best friend Ashley went with me to Book

Net Fest last year with zero

expectations and I was blown out of the

water. People actually had said like, "Oh

I've seen your videos before" or "I've seen

you on Twitter" and I'm like explosion!

Actually last year at BookNet Fest I hit

200 subscribers for the first time and I

was just like what is going on people

are liking what they're watching? They're

not just subscribing and disappearing? I

am so confused! And then of course I went

through mental shit and then just

disappeared four months later. But you know

whatever.

I'm back.

Surprise! But I had so much fun last

year and when they asked if people would

be willing to go again even if they had

to pay, I'm like sign me up! I do not care!

I will go! I will go every single time if

I am able to go every single time. It's--

it's not even like what the panels are

it's not even who's there, it's just the

camaraderie and the community that come

together and just show each other how

much love and respect and acceptance

there is in BookTube and

how open and willing people are to

accept everybody. And if I felt

uncomfortable somebody made me feel

comfortable, somebody helped me feel

welcomed. Somebody helped encourage

inclusion and inclusiveness and

acceptance for everybody and anybody and

it was wonderful. It was absolutely

amazing and this year--from what I

understand they're taking in a lot of

the suggestions from the previous year

in. Like incorporating that to improve

and that's amazing! Like one of the ideas

that I had last year and I had offered a

what kind of like this but I offered it

to volunteer for it and that was to

create a kind of welcoming committee a

group of people that just has a spot

where they can sit and if anybody ever

feels like they're alone or needs

somebody or don't know who to talk to

they can come up to that group of people.

And they are openly saying I am willing

to talk if you need to talk. And then

another idea I had was-- so did Sylvia at

Wish Fulfillment because she mentioned

it-- was a like a quiet space. A place to

go and get away from it all.

When it's overwhelming --especially for an

introvert-- so I completely understood

that I felt that way after a couple

hours... I'm like okay,

I love it, I love this, but it's a lot.

It's so much at once. And when

you're introverted you need to recharge.

And it looks like they took those into

consideration this year. And that's

wonderful. That's amazing!

They also expanded it to two days this

year instead of just the one day last

year and I think that's going to be

fantastic.

I'm actually going up Thursday night so

that I can spend time with people this

time instead of feeling like I rushed

myself like I did last year. Last year I

fully anticipated it being awkward and

uncomfortable and I'm like okay we'll

drive up in the morning we'll leave

right after, we'll be back in time for

like we'll be home by 9:00 I live like

two hours away...it'll be fine!

So we didn't make plans to meet up with

anybody, to make plans to go out to

dinner with anybody, we didn't make plans

and then I started getting drawn into

conversations and I was like I don't

want to leave! So this year I'm rooming with

two lovely women on BookTube I'm rooming

with Desirai at Libri Libra, the same

person who tagged me and Kayla at HeroicPages

as well as my

best friend and Desirai's husband. And

possibly one more person if

somebody takes the couch. But I'm so

excited because these are people that

I've been talking to you on the internet

and I met Kayla last year and we kind of

hit it off. We became friends on

Twitter and then throughout the year, we

started talking more and more and

realized we have an obsession with D&D

in common together. So that just blew

up the friendship. The only person that's

not going that I wish was going is

Heather The Happy Booktuber or Zether

Books because I would love to meet her.

But unfortunately that was not in the cards

this year. Maybe next year she'll be able

to drive down. She lives a little bit

further than I do so it's a bit of a

hike for her. What platforms do I use to

express my love of books? Now mostly I

used Facebook for most of my gushing of

anything. I do have Twitter I was active

really when I was heavily involved in

booktube I haven't been active as much

lately I do want to get back into that.

Also I have an Instagram I don't use it

very much like I'll occasionally post a

selfie or something or like a picture of

my dog, so most of my pictures it's like

I have a puppy cuddles picture and like

that's the extent of my Instagram. I

don't have any of the other sites like

snapchat or tumblr or anything like that.

I do use Goodreads but I mostly use it

to keep track of my reading and less to

actually talk to people. Occasionally

I'll scroll through and see what people

are doing and if I see somebody reading

something that I love that I'll like

like they're posted be like, "How do you

like it? Oh my god is it amazing?" but I

haven't really gotten into any other

channels. Obviously I do have a BookTube

channel which you are currently watching,

welcome! And you can follow me on Twitter

at Dragon Queen Lair

Whatever.

Are you reading, have you read, or do you plan on

reading the #BookNetReads

books. Now these books are You Bring The

Distant Near and Spinning Silver. Now I

didn't even know these existed until

today, so I have purchased them on

Audible and I will attempt to listen to

them if I can before the eighth or

seventh, but I cannot make any promises.

Mostly because one of the biggest

challenges I've run into this year is I

am obsessed with Critical Role and I've

been listening to that constantly

instead of listening to audiobooks so if

you count those I probably consume like

40 or 50 books but if you don't count

them which I can't count them

technically I've consumed nothing since

January. At least in audiobook standards.

in paperbacks I haven't really read. I am

in the middle of a book right now and I

picked it up and I read like 120 pages

in one day and then I read like 50 pages

another day and I haven't picked it up

since. It's been like a week but I had

the stomach flu last week so I'm kind of

assuming it's because of that I was just

miserable I didn't want to do anything

and I had a horrible massively horrible

migraine from dehydration. So I'm gonna

try to finish that book as well this

week which will be the first book

I've read since January other than one

audio book that I finished. I'm on the

progress to getting to my Goodreads goal--

I don't think that's gonna happen I'm

far behind. What are you most looking

forward to a BookNet Fest. Now I kind of

already answered this I just like the

community and the commrodi--why do I keep trying to say that word.

it's like everybody people people are

They're amazing.

Being able to discuss books is amazing,

being able to be surrounded by that

world and just surrounded by the

like-minded individuals, even if you have

differing opinions on what styles of

books you like. People -- everybody

there is there for the same passion of

books and the written word and that's

pretty damn awesome. And it's only like

two and a half hours away from my house--

two hours away from my house or

something. Where BookCon or whatever

that's called like in New York that's

really far and expensive and I can't

afford it. Have you attended other

bookish events that you'd recommend? Not

really. I attended one kind of sorta

bookish event in my local area it was

okay it wasn't amazing it wasn't

horrible. It was okay. It was small, it was

a lot of indie authors and kudos to indie

authors but some of these were not kudos

they're just like oh you wrote a book

Congrats-- let me walk this way.

Some are a little concerning to say the

least

otherwise I really haven't --I did attend

Megacon for a day and I bought books

there. Does that count? What book are you

planning to read that weekend? Now if all

goes as planned I won't be. I don't

think I'm driving so I may read in the

car but it's kind of rude to read when

somebody's driving, so I'll probably not

be reading in the car and while I'm there

I'm gonna be filming a shit ton of

collabs and hanging out with people and

playing D&D because Kayla and I have

to play D&D. We have to it's the only

time I could play with someone from

Canada. I mean come on now --well in person

from Canada. I don't think it'll make a

difference but you know whatever I'm

gonna play a Kayla. God. Do you have any

Internet book friends that you are

excited to see. I've already answered

that. Hi friends!

So I'm gonna tag I guess I'll tag Kayla

at HeroicPages and I'm gonna tag

Heather at The Happy Booktuber even

though I know she can't go. Some of these

questions are if you are going to be

yearning from afar or watching

from afar, so she might be doing that. So

maybe she'll participate in the book tag

as well. And she could say for next year.

That'll be fun but maybe next year

Heather we will get together and be able

to give each other hugs and be like yeah

we met and then awkwardly go read!

It'll be great it'll be fantastic. So

anyway that is my BookNet Fest

tag I don't know who the hell to tag

that hasn't already done it so... tag

you're it! If you haven't done it hi

welcome welcome to my channel I hope you

do the tag. I hope you like it. Like

it if you like it, subscribe if you want

to, and this is the Dragon Queen signing

off.
