Youtube daily report Feb 1 2017

Electric vehicles and plug-ins are

increasingly popular way to go green and

save on fuel. We put four models to the

test for safety. The two all electrics,

Tesla Model S and BMW i3, fell short

of our criteria for safety awards.

In contrast, the two plug-ins, Chevrolet Volt

and Toyota Prius Prime, earn our TOP SAFETY

PICK+ designation. To earn the 2017 TOP

SAFETY PICK+ award, a vehicle must earn

good ratings in all five of our

crashworthiness evaluations - the small

overlap front, the moderate overlap front,

the side, the roof strength and head

restraints evaluations - plus it must be

available with an advanced or superior

front crash prevention system and

acceptable- or good-rated headlights.

The Tesla Model S experienced problems in the

small overlap front crash test.

The safety belt allowed the dummy's torso to move

too far forward, and its head hit the

steering wheel hard through the airbag.

Tesla plans to make changes to the

seat belt to improve protection in small

overlap front crashes. When those changes are

in place, we'll run another test to find

out how well they've done.

The most powerful version of the Model S has

another problem. The P100D is rated

acceptable for roof strength, which is

important in rollover crashes. The rating

is based on how much weight the roof can

support. Even though all Model S cars

have the same roof structure, the P100D

weighs more so it only earns an acceptable rating.

The BMW i3 is rated

good in the small overlap front crash test.

However, it misses the TOP SAFETY

PICK+, because it's only rated acceptable

in our rear crash evaluation of the

seats and head restraints.

In contrast, the Toyota Prius Prime and the Chevrolet

Volt earn a TOP SAFETY PICK+.

The Prius Prime has an edge in that

state-of-the-art safety is standard equipment.

No need to check a box on the options

list to get a top-rated front crash

prevention system or decent headlights.

There's no reason the most efficient

vehicles can't be among the safest.

We hope that BMW and Tesla continue to

refine the designs of their electric

models to maximize safety.

THE ENIGMA OF TIBET

A documentary about the "Schäfer" expedition 1938/39

Hans-Albert Lettow

In the heart of Asia lies the greatest highlands on our earth:

Tibet.

Surrounded by ice blockades of the wild high mountains,

sealed off by the sand dunes of enormous deserts.

The surrounding countries are locked in dispute.

West of Tibet native autocrats attempt

to reconcile the millennial culture of their peoples

with modern civilization.

To the north of Tibet the Soviet imperialism has taken possession of

the ancient silk roads,

expanding it, and widening it

to disintegrate the established daily life of Inner Asia.

Once upon a time in the East

the British brutally invaded this small middle kingdom

and thus caused today's struggles

creating a new order in East Asia.

To the south of Tibet, Britain also imposed

a foreign government, and a new economy upon the ancient people of India.

Unaffected by these events, and unlike other nations, Tibet remained firm,

maintaining their ancient lifestyle and a territory enclosed by nature.

The people of this country as well as its leaders

attempted to defend their ancient laws and their individual culture

against foreign influence through xenophobic seclusiveness.

Thus only a few dauntless explorers managed to enter those areas.

Particularly the biota of humans,

animals and herbs remained unexplored.

Therefore our expedition, the German "Tibet-Expedition Ernst Schäfer"

decided to fill this gap. We were underway for 1 1/2 years.

In order for our expedition to be successful

our leaders had to engage in difficult negotiations

with the rulers and dignitaries.

But despite these problems,

the flora and fauna, the lives of people of Tibet need to be documented.

The technical leader of the expedition was Edmund Geer,

he was responsible for the organisation of the grand caravans,

for delivering food to man and animal,

and for the storage and transport of extensive samples.

Dr. Karl Wienert was assigned to take care of land surveying

and geomagnetic fields, as well as meteorological observations

which are essential

when ascertaining the origins of many species in this mysterious country.

The exact measuring of body and skull shapes was carried out

by anthropologist Dr. Bruno Beger

who studies human races in this area of scientific research.

The observation of small animals was part of Ernst Krause's assignment,

he also made a number of important scientific discoveries.

Ernst Krause was our photographer and cinematographer.

With help from all participants he created this cinematic work.

From the East the road to Tibet was blocked due to the Chinese-Japanese War.

Thus we had to try entering the Tibetan highlands through India.

But the first significant opposition had already started there.

There was an attempt to force the expedition to return,

making use of political intrigues and a sheer flood of defamation.

That was because the British-Indian rulers

were jealous and were determined to not allow any relation between Tibet

and other great powers.

Only after long-winded negotiations Dr. Schäfer finally persuaded them to

allow us to advance to the enormous bastions of ice of the Himalaya

which has remained entirely unexplored.

The deep canyon valley of Tista

formed our entry port into the wild, untouched realm of the high Himalaya.

Everywhere in India we passed by witnesses of Western civilization,

having found their strongest base in the big coastal metropolis of Calcutta.

From the plain alluvial deposits of the Ganges and the Brahmaputra

we used a modern express train in order to reach the submountains of the Himalaya.

A local railway weaves through the overgrown jungle valleys of the outsiders.

The march into the wilderness begins.

Here, at the southward slope of the Himalaya,

climate and surrounding area is dense and without air.

The same climates which usually extend from the tropics to the arctic regions

can be found together here, the altitude is between 100 and 8000 metres.

The lowermost climate exists in the greenhouse-sticky rain forests,

the air and soil steam due to moisture.

Giant trees and climbing plants, parasites live here

everything struggles for survival,

dangerously and beautifully,

silently and murderously.

Icy floods of the majestic glaciers fall into this tropical world.

Eastern floods ravage while Southern winds carry the evaporating water

from the Indian Ocean toward overlying rocks,

where it cools down and falls as a rain into the valley.

This is the dreaded monsoon, the big rain,

throughout the evening and night downpours rush toward the earth,

every single drop turns into a wild river and drags cliff debris

as well as entire mountain sides along into the deep.

Amidst the uproar of nature our pack animals kept walking unperturbed.

With bloated nostrils, their eyes close to surrender,

they diligently consider each single step.

A monsoon shattered a bridge again.

Quickly our carriers begin to work. They're Lepchas,

shy jungle inhabitants of the dark

mountain woods that surround the Himalayas.

Their only tool is a knife, their building material is the bamboo of the forest.

With it they tie the trunks for the bridge together.

In addition a couple of branches get used

as cutwater in order to tighten the bridge.

Only the monsoon knows for how long it will last.

At the arduous southern slope we tackle heights of thousands of metres each day.

Leaving behind the tropics and subtropics we then enter the third part of our mission,

the so-called Palearctic, which very much equates with our measured latitudes.

After that we witness a huge battlefield of nature,

where spruces, icicled with lichen, stand like icy grey warriors

as the last outpost of life against the bastions of eternal snow.

Above here, all growth, all life ends,

and even here the monsoon reaches its insurmountable limit,

this is where Gods and demons live.

The trails of smoke of holy fires rise up to them

as do the passionate prayers of the natives.

Relentlessly the prayer wheel whirls the enclosed dictums.

Ad infinitum the lips murmur the mysterious syllables:

"Om mani padme hum, om mani padme hum".

The unreachable throne of the Gods is our only destination.

Even for our mountain-experienced pack animals the path goes no further.

Thus we and our party return to the ice stream of the Himalaya.

With never-ending ridges, debris sliding down below

of the skyscraper-like Kanchenjungha.

Its glaciers takes us back to ancient times.

The ice river is split into gigantic fissures and chasms.

Only a handful of European men have ever entered this wild valley

and stood in front of this mountain.

It is beyond reach. A patron of the natives,

the ghostly ruler, the powerful God.

Once a year Kanchenjungha is said to appear before the natives,

They show their obedience with a great war dance.

With the clangor of the tubes and the rumbling of the tabors

the warrior kings

celebrate their ruler and God in a sacred dance.

And now Makhala also reveals himself to the humans.

He is the patron God of the southern passes,

the terrible judge.

Celebrated as the dark judge of the shining work of God,

as the blood-drunk demon among the demons.

In majestic combat Kanchenjungha unfolds his grandeur and power

and once again transforms into the luminous, unreachable mountain

that rests above the clouds for the entire year.

There's an ancient sage among the Lepchas with knowledge in the wild

areas of the mountain slaves from Kanchenjungha:

When the great God of the mountain once gave his daughter's hand in marriage

to one of the vassals, he gave her a wild animal as a wedding gift.

Concealed from the people it still lives on a secluded fort.

And the Gods will curse anyone who tries to discover

the secret of this mysterious being.

After months we gained the trust of the superstitious Lepchas,

only then we could attempt to approach to the realm

of the mythological animals of the Schapis.

The rocks pile up inaccessibly around its world.

No researcher therefore has had the luck to discover one of these animals.

Our ascent lead us through dangerous, arduous jungle walls

until reaching the border of eternal snow,

rising up beside canyons alongside dizzying slopes.

After many days of straining,

the magic realm of the unknown animal lay ahead of us.

But it was as if the mountain Gods wanted to conspire against us

and deny us their secret through fog, rock slides and snow.

Our Lepchas became distrustful and wary,

they feared the curse of their God and wanted to mislead us and retreat.

When that attempt failed they tried to convince us to return home,

but our will was stronger than the power of the mountains.

After days of pointless rock climbing

we were able to hunt down the unknown animal

and liken it to its closest relative,

the strange Tahr of the Western Himalaya.

The success even made the tremulous hearts of our natives beat faster

and full of pride we returned to our encampment.

Our camp was at an altitude of 4,600 meters, an altitude

that in Europe is only reached by the highest peaks of the Alps.

Our poor pack animals were suffering due to thin air and lean willows for food.

Despite the concentrated feedstuffs they visibly got thinner.

The wild pigeons that brood among the steep cliffs

have lost all shyness against us.

At the last ridge of vegetation snow lotuses and Sikkim rhubarb

unfold their fantastic flowers around the highest peaks.

High above the camp nearby a deserted carcass,

a well camouflaged observation position has been built.

Here the lives of the most splendid and largest birds of the Asian

high-altitude mountains are documented.

A lot of caution and patience is necessary

in order to deceive these cagey and sharp sighted gigantic birds

so that they won't notice the presence of the birdwatchers.

Still the huge birds seem suspicious

A common raven is the first to dare approaching the open corpse.

Then a second one joins him.

Their frenzied and desperate movements of the pair of ravens

clearly express their anxiety and hunger,

gluttony and fear.

Their meal doesn't last long,

their mission as frontier men is accomplished.

There they are,

aside the condor the largest bird of prey in the world,

the bearded vulture and the Himalaya vultures.

Between them a heated fight begins.

The stronger Himalaya vultures reign victorious

and the bearded vulture has to be content with the bones.

Further outside the camp

the geomagnetic scientist makes his observations.

His notes form the basis for all of our research work.

Arduously he gathers all his data,

and through them we get a clear picture of our position

over and beneath the ground of our research area.

An equally complex compound of equations is used by our anthropological researcher.

He measures the skulls and the body shape of the natives.

Length of feet, length of arm and hand,

the color of the eyes and skin,

all document this accurately.

For the natives our expert is always a helpful friend.

The anthropologist can even redeem them from their worst ailments,

toothache, which brings him foremost respect

and great trust.

They soon trusted us so much that they even

let us take moulds of their faces.

A soft, resin-like substance which doesn't really bother while breathing

and is applied, and thus a lifelike mask is created.

In the moments of helpless darkness though

the ancient fear of demons lie like a nightmare on the native's naïve mind.

Soon the substance congeals.

It's a refreshing moment for all involved

when finally the mask is taken off.

That way piece by piece

a collection of human profiles of High Asia is created.

After the work is done we join together in the camp.

Beggars and nomads from the Tibetan plains came over to us

and became our friends.

Yet the mountain range of the Northern Himalaya

separates us from the higher plains of Tibet.

It lies, in between rugged rocks,

close to the border to the eternal snow,

the realm of the precious wild game:

the realm of the blue sheep.

One morning we found ourselves on the high mountain

in dense and thick snow.

Hardly a hundred kilometres away from the subtropical jungle

we are surrounded by a desert of ice,

snow and rocks.

Like lichen the hanging glaciers are attached to the huge mountain sides.

An image of Greenland and the Arctic,

isolated lakes

are lying ahead of us,

freeing themselves from the shimmering, ice mountains.

We left the Himalaya behind in the South

and are stood at the border between two landscapes.

To the South there is the ominous lofty mountain,

in the North there are endless high plains.

We face the incalculable vastness of Tibet,

the forbidden country.

Our most beautiful dream,

our main goal that hasn't been reached by any previous scientific expedition is:

The mysterious capital Lhasa.

We neither could nor did we want to respect the will of the

British government to stop at this border.

In a well-calculated and quick border cross at Doghra

for which we had absolutely no permission,

we succeeded in reaching our goal and finding the Tibetan sovereign.

Thus diplomatic relations with the rulers of the forbidden country were established.

Through the symbolic gesture of handing a white veil of friendship

a difficult, diplomatic game began,

which lasted for months due to the Asian formalities,

until finally a letter from the government of Lhasa brought

hope for great success.

With a newly acquired huge caravan

we headed for our ultimate goal.

"Lha gyalo!", the Gods have won, that's what the Tibetans shout

when they reach the highest point of the pass.

Through sacrificing petition pennants

they invoke divine protection against upcoming dangers on their journey.

Due to the lack of nourishing meadows

we need to switch the caravan animals.

The tenacious mule gets exchanged for the bulky yak,

Tibet's very own animal.

Whether it be the biting cold or icy snow storms,

there's nothing which can harm the cloddy and thick-skinned fellow.

Our yaks are the true children of their age-old homeland.

While loading them up in the morning

their disobedient, fractious savagery runs riot.

Not until arranged in order of the caravan

do they begin to agree to carry their load above the demanding terrain.

Obscured from the caravan road the higher plains begin to fascinate us.

Its sublime solitude is mirrored through its creatures.

The argali lives on the mountain range.

In the low-lying land cannonades the hoofbeat of the wild horses of Tibet,

the proud kiangs.

The alpha male has spotted us and chases off with its pride intact.

During the toughest part of our journey

we encounter one of the many treacherous swamps in the area.

The animals' hooves sink into the black, gurgling swamp.

We need to aggressively propel them forward,

because otherwise they would meet a cruel death in the swamp.

The swamp desert troubles us throughout the entire day.

Then the night falls

and we are forced to pitch an emergency settlement.

With an empty stomach and wet clothes which are encrusted with mud and gunge

we spend a bitterly cold night.

Fresh-fallen snow covers the plain

and makes it shimmer and shine in the light of the early morning.

The warm early light encourages the mouse rabbits to leave their subterranean dens.

And the snowfinch also appears.

It uses the den of the mouse rabbit as a hatchery and a temporary home.

The lack of nesting sites probably gave way to this strange symbiotic community

between bird and rodent.

As a remuneration for living place and warmth

the sharp-eyed snowfinch warns its landlord against all kinds of enemies.

The threatening hoofbeats of our cavalcade

is a warning signal for all animals of the plain.

Suspiciously the corsa fox sneaks off.

Finally there arête kiangs again.

Ahead of us on an altitude we see the first pride.

There over in the valley, a second pride.

And yet another one.

They are the most beautiful animals of the Asian highlands.

Such a noble gait, such an ordered pride

supports the claim that these animals lead their realm.

They easily venture far distances,

they, the true owners of the endless plain.

At the height of 4,000-5,000 metres

our caravan wears on in an monotonous rhythm.

With each day we're travelling deeper into Tibet.

During the day the sun relentlessly burns upon us.

At night the icy winds freeze rivers and lakes.

Often fatigue slows us down to a standstill

because of these unusual fluctuations in temperature.

The first people of Tibet the begging nomads approach us.

According to the traditions of their country

they pay us honor with a lengthy chant.

The first residential area of the forbidden country lies ahead of us.

We as Europeans strike the inhabitants with terrible awe,

the entire village is shaken.

But soon the first fear vanishes.

The religion called Lamaism rules over the entire everyday life of the Tibetans.

Since the day Tibet was converted to Buddhism

about 13 centuries ago

the prayer wheels of all sizes rotate from morning till evening

Relentlessly the prayer beads glide through the fingers of the devoted.

Only that way can they achieve reincarnation.

After the long and lone marches

the caravan herders are happy to again be among people of their kind

They savor the tsamba, the Tibetan national dish.

It's a mixture of fired barley flour,

musty tea, and brownish toned rancid butter,

seasoned with salt and soda.

The country is so poor.

Our donkeys paw the stones to spawn puny roots.

It is always a big event in these remote settlements if a travelling rider arrives.

A regular courier service connects the Southern border locations of Tibet

through the wide highlands - with India.

Only selected, robust mules and horses are capable of enduring such exertion

of this the toughest mail delivery service in the world.

The animals had to get used to unnatural concentrated feed.

It's coagulated blood of sheep that is mixed with Zamba flour.

There's also mail for us, mail from Germany.

On the huge caravan road we move on to the Northeast.

A courier from the Tibetan government appears.

His bell-spear's jingle protects him, and he's admired even by bandits.

Through long daily marches

we approach the river basin of the Brahmaputra,

from which once originated the culture of God's country.

We advance as far as the heart of Tibet.

The entry port is a savage canyon which is littered with rock fragments.

A gigantic Buddha statue welcomes us.

The mysterious ruins show signs of an eventful history

and a militant past line our solitary path.

Chuvash Tatars, Khans Golden Horde

and wild Gurkas once roamed

the fertile ground of Tibet in order to pillage.

But our most significant discoveries are the ruins of Yalung,

the ancient, pre-Buddhist capital.

In the crumbled watchtower the northern raven,

Tibet's national emblem, hordes it treasures.

We try to get a picture of

the ancient king's palace through piecing our findings together.

Once great kings and a courageous, fighting people ruled this place,

until in the 7th century according to our calculations.

Indian Buddhism found its way into Tibet,

It replaced the belief in demons of the ancestral Tibetans

and vanquished their magic rites.

The king Songsten Gampo roamed the plains

in order to fund a new capital in Lhasa for the new Lamaistic religion.

Their high priest, the almighty Dalai Lama,

is still dreaming

of spreading their religion across the world as the cradle of mankind.

Thus they want to dislocate the origin of mankind to Tibet

in order to make it become the spiritual centre of the world.

On an arduous cliff hill

there can be found a house from the earliest Tibetan people.

As the legend goes

there lived a creature by the cross breeding of an ape and a devil-woman.

The time of the kings is forgotten,

Lamaism triumphantly shaped the country.

These gigantic relic shrines,

tower to heaven as its holy symbols.

They fill its believers with fear

of the dreadful deities and countless demons,

which only the priest, the Lama, is able to summon.

The ritual is strange and haunting, and filled with an air of death

Perpetually the lips of the laymen murmur their strange chants,

while the conjurer priest becomes

increasingly entranced and at one with the spirits.

He subdues their will using symbolic gestures,

and through magical help, spiritual daggers,

thunderbolts and magic bells.

The corpses of the deceased lie outside the gates.

On the sacred cliff

the fumes from the fires rise.

The fleshy remains are destroyed in a strange way.

For only through complete decomposition of the body can

the soul be freed for a new, fortunate rebirth on earth.

This decomposition is carried out by the holy vultures.

But before that the body gets cut into pieces and the bones get crushed,

so that no bloody remains lie on the hill.

Now the priest makes gestures to begin,

and for a short while the air quivers due to the wings of gigantic vultures.

While the body is destroyed,

the magic powers of the Lama accompany the soul

which prior to its new rebirth

needs to wander aimlessly, in between countless

demonic appearances, through the intermediate realm of the Bardo.

Throughout his life the Tibetan

is constantly acquainted with the visual nature of these ghosts

through masks, murals and temple adornments.

Evil powers, and thousands of Gods and demons

endanger and distress these earthly being in all phases of life,

through eternal reincarnation from rebirth to rebirth,

until at last the soul has found its way to its highest possible knowledge

into the redeeming realm of Buddha.

That's how the Lama influences the people of Tibet.

His power finds its expression in the countless temples and convents.

From small groups of fanatic sectarians

to the huge convents followed by the masses,

they all leave their imprint on the ancient cultural land.

An uncountable group of Lamaistic monks gather.

More than one third of the country's male population are taken

from the main body of people, and join the laborious life of the convents.

Only few get involved with the hardships and duties

of the hieratic life,

the vast mass are deprived.

In dirt and poverty they lead a life

which is regulated by outside forces,

while their abbots hold the population to ransom,

and snatch up the few riches of the country.

5,000-10,000 monks are sheltered in one of these convent towns.

Trashilhünpo became well-known because of Sven Hedding.

Here the Penchen Lama is based, in his human form

the deity of eternal shining light returns to earth.

Early in the morning the timber drum

summons the monks for their ritual daily work.

The eerie sounds rise from the Lama's chapel

to the courtyards and halls to hail Gods during daily prayers.

Then the convents and temples the districts and towns,

the cottages and houses

are surrounded by the obscure murmuring of praying monks.

Twice a day this routine is interrupted,

when young convent students bring the tea in heavy copper tankards.

Most of the mundane practical work is done

by the youngest members of the convent community.

At the early age of 8-10 they get brought to the monastery.

After a couple of years they learn the secrets of herbal pills,

medicinal herbs at the medical school.

In the largest convents the young monks

have to able to demonstrate diligence

and make an effort to replicate the holy scriptures.

There it is still being done as in the early years of the printing guild.

The wood-cut characters are manually put into black ink

in order to make the copies.

Page after page and sheet after sheet: that's how the classic writings of Lamaism

are being produced and multiplied

thus the culture of Tibet and the power of its people

are linked to the convents.

one of the few stone walled cities left today

that echoes the early kingdom's ancient wartime spirit

is Xigaze, Tibet's second-largest city.

In order to maintain separate power from the medieval clergy state

the predecessor of today's Dalai Lama

deployed a small guard of about 10,000 men

which he trained according to European standards.

Serving their time in India the Tibetan army officers learned

all about precision and the modern art of warfare.

Now they teach the small troops in the plains of High Asia

what they themselves had been taught from beyond the Himalaya.

We ride on, above high, vast plains, toward our ultimate aim.

Large herds of goats and sheep pass by, stamping their feet on the soil.

They search the scarce, leaves and grass and paw out roots.

The herds are often the sole assets of the dislodged settlers.

They produce milk and meat, and can be used for leather and wool.

The wool of Tibetan sheep and goats is a much sought-after commodity at markets

in the neighbouring countries because of its density and robustness.

But in its own country it also gets used in many crafts.

As once upon a time in our country

the spindle is still regarded as a sign of domestic necessity in Tibet.

Without the warm coat made from animals

man wouldn't be able to exist here, at the frontier of all life.

And yet Tibetans don't just produce goods

they need to withstand the life-threatening forces of nature,

but also wish to make items with beauty and for decoration.

Even if the technique of weaving carpets is primitive,

the style and overall look is attractive and delicate.

One of the most frequently seen Tibetan images

is the age-old Indo-Aryan sign of the swastika

which for the Tibetans means imperishable fortune.

Barren mountain banks interrupt the wide plains.

We need to conquer and climb them despite already being exhausted.

When we reach the arduous road we look down to the desolate mountain lake.

The thin air makes our journey even more difficult.

The flanks of our sorely tested horses tremble.

We need to abandon some loyal animals.

There the big river of Tibet lies ahead of us,

the Brahmaputra.

It's the last obstacle on our way to Lhasa.

Sluggish boats made from fur and leather carry us to the other shore.

Deep down on the bottom of the river lies, according to Tibetan faith,

a vengeful demon who is disguised as a snake.

They fear him more than licking the planks of the ferries.

High above the hills black-neck cranes are passing by.

According to the myth they carry the Dalai Lamas through the air

on their robust wings, from one convent to another.

From late autumn till early spring

the holy animals swirl around in the large valleys around the Holy City.

At 3,700 meters lies the highest and largest agricultural zone of Tibet.

Even at that enormous height we see the age-old, respected

picture of the farmer ploughing and reaping his crops.

When the pilgrim from the high plains of the North

catch sight of these fertile fields

he knows that he's close to his destination

the Holy City, Lhasa.

In its nest the black-neck crane

is shy and suspicious,

but here it flounces impartially in between the peasants,

as if being aware of its own sanctity.

This is the promised road

on which millions of faithful Buddhists have already pilgrimaged to Lhasa,

to, once in their lives,

witness and rejoice in the high-ranging temple castle of the Holy Land, the Potala.

They measure the long march with their suffering

by throwing themselves countless times to the ground

and touching the ground with their foreheads.

Now that only a few hours separate us from our great destination,

a tense agitation fills the air.

Over there on a distant hill, a temple appears from the lowlands:

the Potala!

At its feet a gold plated cauldron serves as a gate to the sanctuary.

Endless cohorts of pilgrims swarm the street.

One of the most beautiful and noble buildings of the world towers above us,

the stronghold of Northern Buddhism,

the three hundred-year-old Potala.

compassed by cottonwood groves and gardens,

Lhasa lies in the fertile wetlands of the Kyi Chu.

25,000-30,000 monks and inhabitants live here.

But during New Year cohorts of pilgrims and Lamas arrive.

Then 50,000-60,000 people fill the houses and streets of the Holy City.

Throughout the centuries only a few Europeans have entered

the walls of this city, as Christian missionaries, camouflaged as pilgrims,

or violently, during a military attack.

Despite countless, courageous, hard fought attempts

many great researchers from all nations failed

to accomplish this high goal.

As the first Germans we were welcomed

by the four highest dignitaries of the country.

We summon all our knowledge of Asian courtesy and Tibetan etiquette

in order to not violate any basic acts of courtesy.

The smallest mistake is enough to upset our hosts.

We would lose face,

and thus suffer the loss of any kind of help or support.

In exact order compliments and phrases need to be used.

For instance like this:

"Did Your Honor have the luck to produce a child?"

"For how many years has Your Honor lived in this land of happiness."

"Your Honor's smooth face equates that of a blooming youth."

"We are very much indebted to Your Excellencies for allowing us

to experience the great philosophy and the religion of Buddha

in the Holy City."

A government house is assigned to us

as our lodgings to demonstrate their goodwill.

Due to our research mission our lodgings did not resemble a place

for Buddhist meditation,

but rather a true zoological laboratory.

There skulls were dried, stuffed birds were prepared,

and the largest collections were classified and wrapped up.

The delightful collection of animals we wanted to bring home alive

completed the picture of idyllic domesticity in the heart of High Asia.

One day a long queue of carriers approached us.

They brought along generous gifts from the government.

We get tonnes of butter portions, stored in sewed bags made from furs of yaks,

which also contain flour and zambas, peas and beans,

herbs and tea.

The gifts pile up ever higher.

Among them is an entire slice of mutton.

And then eggs and more eggs.

As a special delicacy, a smoked

pig arrives.

At last the Lama hands over the white veil of friendship

and asks us to accept these gifts.

In well-put words the leader of our expedition

expresses his gratitude and reiterates our friendship and assurances

for His Holiness and the minister, with the wish

that Gods and demons may bless the bond of heartfelt understanding.

In order to protect us against attacks of unfriendly, untrusting Lamas

the government placed servants armed with truncheons at their disposal.

Under their protection we can travel unharrassed through Lhasa.

We listen to the relentless singing of the bricklayers,

which banish malicious spirits from the work place.

Walls are laid with rough, unshaped stones

and filled up with brickearth as a wet binding agent.

The rhythm of the song pounds with the noise of hard rocks.

At the margin of a city street a thief squats with his head

locked in the stocks.

After a conviction criminals are sentenced and given this punishment

for several days, until they disappear in the large dungeons of the capital.

Next to us; a criminal trapped in an iron collar and leg irons cowers.

Despite abusive denunciations his relatives stand at his side

and provide him with zamba and tea.

As in all Asian cities the entire

life in Lhasa takes place in front of the houses.

Blacksmiths, masters of a little respected craft, are often women.

Poor but undemanding, as most people in Tibet, are the inhabitants of Lhasa.

They know no abundance,

the only thing they have is plenty of free time.

Thus their work is carried out in deliberate calm.

For hours the Tibetans meet outside to cleanse and scrub each other down.

Aside from this activity intimate family life can be

seen taking place on the street everyday.

New Year's Eve brings agitation and excitement to street life.

Fortune telling beggars appear.

Pilgrims, from far away outside the province,

observe the big-city life with much curiosity.

The followers of these pilgrims become larger in number, each time bigger.

Convent communities march together.

As with the Muslims and their pilgrimage to Mecca it is the highest aim in life

and the of foremost luck for Lamaists

to experience the beginning of the new year at the sanctuary of Lhasa.

With reverence and amazement,

the pilgrims look at and bow to the monumental walls the Potala

that was erected by the Dalai Lamas to honor the Gods

and as a visible sign of spiritual and all conquering power.

Dazzled the believer stands in front of the golden grandeur of the housetops.

A religious shiver runs through him

and makes him recognize the visualized fantasy of his belief.

Lhasa and its surroundings

have become one giant temple these days,

filled with the pilgrims' prayers.

From the early morning till the late evening

they stroll from one sanctum to another.

With the hollow sound of the prayer drums

the monks try to increase the enthusiasm of the believers.

These days devoted Lamas

are the unconfirmed leaders of the Holy City.

Even the ministers have been unseated

and all governmental power has been transferred to two main abbots.

The city can no longer shelter the masses of monks and pilgrims.

Thus outside the city an enormous camp has been constructed.

Even the citizens of Lhasa celebrate the greatest of all feasts here.

The Gologs and Kampas,

predacious nomads from the Northeast of the country

are allocated to a separate camping site.

They travelled to Lhasa in order to atone for theft,

rape and manslaughter,

and to appease the Gods regarding future atrocities.

New Year's Eve is also a time for celebration.

According to ritual at New Year's, we also set up a pavilion,

and here, in the open, we invite government representatives for

an Asian-style feast.

Before Chaang, the traditional New Year's beer is drunk,

the ritual demands us to offer

our drinks to the spirits of the region.

The wild fervor of the Highland people

reveals itself during the frantic moves of the folk dance.

The festival really starts to liven up.

At the banquet a shooting match between servants and dignitaries takes place.

The arrows buzz while flying toward the target.

The long distance bows are made from a special hardened wood.

Horsemen ride wild horses beside targets with enormous speed.

They fire their rifles while galloping

and outdistance their enemy to win the game.

Riderless horses dash through the streets, cheered on by the masses.

On their backs the Gods are supposed to ride into Lhasa.

Obstacles and barriers are scattered around the Potala palace.

Solemnly the Lamas march to the dance.

At the end of the year

the worshippers again face the terrible grimaces of the demons.

They remind man of his mortality

and reveal the shape and outline of the creatures

that expect him in the Bardo, between death and reincarnation.

A bewildering dance of masks and faces greets us,

signalling the end of the old year.

A hundred Lamas ride through the gate of the holiest temple of Lhasa,

the great living place of the Gods,

accompanying the greatest conjurer priest of Tibet,

in solemn procession.

All evil elements,

devils and demons,

all ills that have taken possession of the city during the past year

are now banished

and their spell, destroyed.

A pyramid possessed by the devil is taken out as a gift to the spirits.

The sounds of drums and cymbals echo. A magic drink is drunk which,

throws the masses into ecstasy.

The masses can't be restrained anymore,

for now arrives the great guard of destiny, the hero of the day,

in demonic intoxication, possessed by supernatural powers,

and gifted with the magic potency to dislodge and destroy

the spellbound devils and ill-omened forces,

he dashes through the streets.

The Lamas gather around the high priest

who collapses in between them.

The great act of exorcism is done,

the fight against supernatural enemies

has been brought to a victorious end.

Now the masses turn to the heroes of the battlefield.

They pay homage to the generals,

showering them with thousands of white veils

that signify purity and earthly fortune.

For it was the ancestors of the generals

who once, under the leadership of the mighty Mongol ruler, Gushri Khan,

formed this land now known as Tibet.

A glorious parade of crowds and soldiers

now march through the streets of the capital.

Warriors from all parts of the country take part,

and are equipped with glorious weapons,

body armour and helmets from their victorious ancestors.

The proud parade heads toward the holy temple

to honor the Gods in order to

gain their protection and support.

Excited anticipation can be felt all around the camp outside the city.

Ministers, dignitaries and notables

arrive at the camp in sumptuous silk robes.

As representatives of the Dalai Lamas

the members of the Cabinet take a seat in the tent

and receive a full report from the troops.

Like a vision of Asian history,

like an image from heroic Asian times,

they ride along.

A medieval cavalcade in a medieval state.

They head toward the festival.

The warrior offers a silver plate and toasts his drink to the Gods.

The public servants announce the strength

and readiness of their troops to the dignitaries.

Their weapons glisten and are razor sharp.

Their shields are unbreakable and hard.

Their horses are huge beasts and lightning fast.

The warriors are brisk and battle-scarred.

They turn around the horses.

This great feast of Gods and men

reaches a climax.

A last dance from centuries past beckons, the new year begins.

Tibet remains untouched

in the midst of a war-shaken world.

There its armored warriors ride,

fraught with the fanatic will to maintain their country's peace and isolation

by virtue of their own strength and their own belief in

whatever the future may bring.

Dwyane Wade BACKS LeBron James And Blasts Charles Barkley Over His TNT Criticism Of LBJ - Duration: 7:51.

Dwyane Wade isn't the only one happy LeBron James finally teed off on Turner Sports mainstay

Charles Barkley, in ways that go well beyond D-Wade looking to support his fellow Banana

Boat ballast.

That ship doesn't figure to sink soon at Barkley's behest, in spite of LeBron's

relative "troubles" in Cleveland and Wade's altogether more unseemly issues with a Chicago

Bulls franchise he fooled last summer.

It won't go down without a fight, as we learned on Tuesday when James absolutely went

off on Barkley, rightfully characterizing him as hypocritical prior to, sadly, using

the word "hater" to denigrate the Basketball Hall of Famer.

(Not because Chuck isn't a hater.

He is.

That term should have been retired when Barkley was an active player, though.)

Wade got in on the act at shootaround on Tuesday, happily taking on a new subject after a week's

worth of Bulls woe dominated the airwaves:

… but nobody, including Wade, seemed to take offense at that.

The Bulls, featuring a front office that actually believed Wade (a Miami resident since 2003)

when he said he wanted to vacation in winter in Chicago, are a trash heap of the highest

order.

James' comments and Wade's defense, however, were a long time coming.

One doesn't even need to dive into the Google-documented subjects that LeBron and Wade referenced – the

barfights, the out-of-control loogie, the aversion to an offseason workout routine that

left Barkley crippled with back woes when he should have been flying in his prime with

Michael Jordan out of the league from 1993 through 1995 – in order to have history

on your side when taking Barkley out of the equation.

Barkley hasn't exactly entered Skip Bayless territory, he's not dead behind the eyes,

but NBA players have been waiting for too long to take shots at the bully.

Players no longer need the draw of Barkley's witticisms on air in order to lend credibility

to a struggling league or a lacking night of games on TNT.

He's hardly been witty

in recent years anyway.

Especially with Shaquille O'Neal's addition to

the show

and "Inside the NBA"'s move away

from

the lighthearted, and into the realm of the jock-toned sense of cruelty that is always

just below the surface when those who actually played the game get to talking together about

anything else but the game (which they haven't watched) itself.

Protein Damage and health benefits - Duration: 4:04.

Hello.

Are you SPORT SCIENCE.

Topic of this issue us in the comments below

Video offered Roman Bobenko, for which a special thank you to him.

In the food and not the exception important middle ground.

For people who are actively engaged sports, special significance

is properly selected diet containing optimal

the ratio of proteins, carbohydrates and fats in keeping

a certain amount calories.

Nutrition is one of the cornerstones

allowing athletes to grow and develop.

Today we would like to talk about protein.

Why about it?

The fact that this protein It is one of the most

advertised and overpriced power components.

Do not rush to throw slippers, Ladies and Gentlemen.

Let us all how to to explain to you.

The fact that the value of protein for muscle growth much

exaggerated.

One of our subjects We detail is explained,

so I will not linger at this point to save

time.

For those who want more deal with this issue

we recommend a visit our website and in the power section

look in the article "How digestible protein. "

Now we would like would be to focus on the fact

what happens to our the body in its overabundance

and disadvantages.

The increased use of protein negatively affects

on metabolism, as well as also it creates a burden on the

many internal organs, sometimes even contributing

increase their size, it was found that in

During the experiments.

Thus, for example, with excess protein diet liver

It affects cell degeneration, causing

violation of tissue respiration and reduced enzyme activity.

The intestines varies microflora, produced

increased amounts ammonia, which ultimately leads

to increased formation toxins.

Recent studies We found an association between tight

protein diet and the excitement central nervous system.

Just like the type of food forcing the body to spend

the processing of food increased and vitamin content

active substances that subsequently vitamin deficiencies can lead to

and metabolic disorders.

A decrease in brain activity and offensive

apathy.

At the beginning of a tough vysokobelkovoj diet strengthens the body

the production of gastric juice, however further

its secretion significantly decreases, which leads to fermentation

and anatsidnyh state.

Repeated excess protein contributes to overloading

in the kidneys, the emergence of osteoporosis and atherosclerosis.

When you have a lack of protein Children a sharp

slowing growth and development, older people

changes occur in the work liver, impaired assimilation

active substances is broken memory, reduced endurance

and overall efficiency, as well as problems arise

in the cardiovascular system.

In addition there is immunosuppression, development

enzymes and hormonal balance of the body, and

the violation of the synthesis of oxide nitrogen, whereby

disrupted many internal organs.

There is destruction muscle tissue.

Brakes metabolism.

As we can see in all need observe the golden mean,

especially when it comes to our health.

Democrats Block Votes Because These Two Couldn't Stop Lying - Duration: 8:09.

NOW THAT DONALD TRUMP IS ROLLING OUT ONE CONTROVERSIAL

EXECUTIVE ORDER AFTER ANOTHER, DEMOCRATS, LAWMAKERS, REALIZING,

HEY, MAYBE WE SHOULD CAPITALIZE ON THIS SITUATION AND MAYBE ACT.

LET ME BE CLEAR ABOUT SOMETHING, SENATORS LIKE BERNIE SANDERS AND

ELIZABETH WARREN HAVE ALWAYS BEEN VERY VOCAL IN OPPOSITION TO

SOME OF THESE POLICIES TRUMP HAS BEEN PUSHING FOR, BUT NOW OTHER

DEMOCRATIC LAWMAKERS ARE FOLLOWING SUIT AND PROPOSING

LEGISLATION THAT WOULD CURB SOME OF DONALD TRUMP'S POWER, AS WELL

AS SPEAKING OUT AGAINST HIS NOMINEES.

NOW, I THINK THE MOST

POWERFUL MOVIE SCENE FROM THE DEMOCRATS SO FAR HAS TO DO WITH

THE CONFIRMATION HEARINGS AND HOW THEY HAVE DECIDED TO BOYCOTT

CERTAIN VOTES.

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HASN'T BEEN DONE

BEFORE, REPUBLICANS HAVE DONE THAT IN THE PAST AND I WILL GET

TO THAT, BUT ACCORDING

TO THE HILL --

>>SO THEY ARE NOT SAYING WE ARE BOYCOTTING THE VOTE AND WE ARE

NOT GOING TO GO AHEAD AND VOTE THEM INTO THE POSITIONS THEY

WERE NOMINATED FOR -- IN FACT RIGHT NOW REPUBLICANS HAVE ALL

THE VOTES THEY NEED, THEY DON'T EVEN NEED THE DEMOCRATS, WHICH

IS WHY THEY DECIDED TO BOYCOTT THE VOTE BECAUSE THAT MAKES IT

EVEN MORE DIFFICULT TO CONFIRM THESE NOMINEES -- BUT WHAT THEY

ARE SAYING IS, LOOK, WE ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT THESE INDIVIDUALS

DIDN'T LIE TO US ABOUT VERY, VERY IMPORTANT ISSUES WHEN WE

GAVE THEM OUR LINE OF QUESTIONING, SO WE JUST WANT TO

ASK THEM SOME MORE QUESTIONS.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT?

AND OF

COURSE REPUBLICANS ARE OUTRAGED BY IT EVEN THOUGH THEY DID SOME

THINGS SIMILAR A FEW YEARS BACK.

>>I WANT TO TELL YOU THAT BEFORE WE SHOW THE VIDEO.

NORMALLY I

LIKE TO SHOW THE VIDEO AND THEN SHOW THE HYPOCRISY.

BUT YOU WILL

ENJOY THE VIDEO MORE WHEN I TELL YOU TWO THINGS -- THE FIRST IS

OBVIOUS, REPUBLICANS REFUSED TO HAVE A VOTE ON MERRICK GARLAND,

THE SUPREME COURT NOMINEE OF PRESIDENT OBAMA, FOR ABOUT A

YEAR.

THEY REFUSED TO HAVE A VOTE AT ALL.

SO YOU WILL WATCH

REPUBLICANS CRYING ABOUT DEMOCRATS NOT ALLOWING A VOTE,

THAT BEING UNPRECEDENTED -- BUT SECONDLY, THIS TACTIC DEMOCRATS

ARE USING TODAY, REPUBLICANS USED BACK IN 2013 TO BLOCK GINA

MCCARTHY, A VOTE ON HER, AT THE TIME, TO LEAD THE ENVIRONMENTAL

PROTECTION AGENCY.

THEY BOYCOTTED THE VOTE, THIS SAME

EXACT THING.

HAVING SAID THAT, LET'S HAVE FUN AND WATCH

REPUBLICANS HERE TELL US HOW UNPRECEDENTED THIS IS --

>>THE FAILURE OF OUR COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE TO CARRY

OUT THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RESPONSIBILITY, THAT'S WHAT

THIS IS.

>>THE FACT THAT OUR COLLEAGUES WON'T HAVE THE DECENCY TO COME

AND HAVE THE DEBATE, COME AND TELL US WHY --

>>I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS TYPE OF CRAP.

MY GOSH, THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR IT.

>>I THINK THE PEOPLE OF OUR GREAT NATION EXPECT US TO DO OUR

WORK.

>>I THINK SOME OF THIS IS BECAUSE THEY JUST DON'T LIKE THE

PRESIDENT.

>>IT DOES NOT REPRESENT WHAT WE EXPECT WITH REGARDS TO THIS

COMMITTEE UNDER YOUR CHAIRMANSHIP, AND FOR THAT

MATTER, WHEN THE MINORITY WAS IN THE MAJORITY.

>>I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING QUITE LIKE THIS.

>>I HAVE TO SAY I SHARE YOUR DISMAY AND DISCUSSED, FRANKLY,

THAT OUR COLLEAGUES ON THE OTHER SIDE ARE NOW DEVOLVING TO AN

UNPRECEDENTED LEVEL OF RANK PARTISAN OBSTRUCTIONISM.

>>THIS IS THE MOST PATHETIC THING I'VE SEEN IN MY WHOLE

TIME IN THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

>>I DON'T KNOW, I CAN'T REMEMBER A TIME I'VE BEEN ON THIS

COMMITTEE WERE PEOPLE JUST DIDN'T SHOW UP.

>>WE DID NOT INFLICT THIS KIND OF OBSTRUCTIONISM ON PRESIDENT

OBAMA.

I BELIEVE THAT THE DAY HE WAS INAUGURATED, HE HAD EIGHT OF

HIS CABINET SECRETARIES ALREADY CONFIRMED BECAUSE

REPUBLICANS CHOSE NOT TO OBSTRUCT THE PROCESS.

>>I DON'T REMEMBER US TREATING THEIR NOMINEES THIS WAY.

>>RON WYDEN CAN'T EVEN LIE, HE'S SO BAD IT LYING.

>>NOT WYDEN, HE'S WITH THE DEMOCRATS.

THAT WAS HATCH.

THEY ARE TERRIBLE AT LYING, THEY ARE PHENOMENALLY BAD ACTORS.

LIKE, 2013, WOW, THAT WAS A WHOLE FOUR YEARS AGO.

THIS IS

WHAT PEOPLE HATE POLITICIANS, THEY GET OUT THERE AND SAY I'VE

NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS.

HOW ABOUT WHEN YOU SPECIFICALLY

DID IT?

NOT SOMEONE ELSE 100 YEARS AGO, YOU DID IT FOUR YEARS

AGO.

BUT FOR THEM TO BLOCK A VOTE LIKE THIS, RANK

OBSTRUCTIONISM -- WHY, WE WOULD NEVER DO TO THEM!

YOU JUST

BLOCKED A VOTE FOR A YEAR FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT THING, THE

SUPREME COURT NOMINEE.

AND FOR THEM TO COME OUT THERE AND SAY,

GOLLY GEE, I NEVER -- I'VE GOT THE VAPORS JUST THINKING ABOUT

IT.

>>THEY DID IT IN 2013, REFUSING TO ATTEND A HEARING CONFIRMATION

FOR GINA MCCARTHY, PRESIDENT OBAMA'S PICK TO HEAD THE EPA.

THEY DO IT TIME AND AGAIN, THIS IS NOT UNPRECEDENTED, THEY'VE

USED THIS STRATEGY.

AND I THINK REPUBLICANS ARE STRONGER THAN

DEMOCRATS IN A LOT OF WAYS BECAUSE THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT,

AND THEY GET WHAT THEY WANT CONSISTENTLY.

SO YES THEY CAN

SIT THERE AND LIE EVEN THOUGH IT'S SO CLEARLY OBVIOUS TO

ANYONE WHO PAYS ATTENTION TO THIS STUFF THAT THEY ARE LYING,

BUT THEY WILL GO AHEAD AND BLOCK A VOTE OR REFUSE TO VOTE ON ANY

GIVEN CANDIDATE THAT'S BEEN NOMINATED BY A DEMOCRAT IN

OFFICE, AND AT THE SAME TIME THEY'LL GO AHEAD AND GET WHAT

THEY WANT, THEY'LL GO AHEAD AND CRITICIZE DEMOCRATS AS

AGGRESSIVELY AS POSSIBLE, AND WHAT HAPPENS TO THE ELECTORATE?

WHAT HAPPENS TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE?

THEY LISTEN TO THE

PEOPLE WHO YELLS THE LOUDEST, THE PERSON WHO IS MORE

AGGRESSIVE, AND THEY TEND TO BELIEVE THOSE INDIVIDUALS MORE.

YOU THINK THE AVERAGE AMERICAN VOTER KNOWS THAT THAT KIND OF

OBSTRUCTION TOOK PLACE DURING OBAMA'S ADMINISTRATION?

>>WASHINGTON IS NOT READY FOR WHAT WE'VE LAUNCHED IN JUSTICE

DEMOCRATS -- STRONG PROGRESSIVES.

IS WHAT I MEAN BY

THAT.

YOU COME INTO THE MIDDLE OF THAT HEARING AND YOU SAY YOU

NEVER SEEN THIS BEFORE?

HEY YOU, ORRIN HATCH, YOU BLOCKED A

SUPREME COURT NOMINEE FOR A YEAR.

SO WHEN YOU SAY YOU

HAVEN'T SEEN CRAP LIKE THIS, AND PAT TOOMEY FROM PENNSYLVANIA,

YOU SAY YOU ARE DISMAYED AND DISGUSTED -- YOU KNOW WHAT I WAS

DISGUSTED BY?

WHEN YOU BLOCKED A SUPREME COURT NOMINEE FOR A

WHOLE YEAR.

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE, PAT TOOMEY AND ORRIN HATCH?

YOU ARE ABSOLUTE GODDAMN LIARS.

WASHINGTON WOULD EXPLODE,

BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT USED TO STRONG DEMOCRATS.

THEY WOULD BE

LIKE, HOW DARE THEY?

YOU JUST SO REPUBLICANS SPIT IN THE FACE OF

DEMOCRATS.

DISGUSTING, CRAP, CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS?

THERE'S NO

EXCUSE FOR THIS.

AND THAT'S NORMAL IN WASHINGTON,

REPUBLICANS CAN SLAP DEMOCRATS AND DEMOCRATS HAVE TO TAKE IT.

AND THIS IS LIKE, WOW, THEY SAT OUT.

THIS IS THE BEGINNING, IT

SHOULDN'T BE THE END.

WYDEN OR SOMEBODY ELSE SHOULD HAVE SAID

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE RECORD OF THESE LIARS, WHY I'M

DISGUSTED AND DISMAYED WITH YOU.

IF YOU SIGN UP WITH JUSTICE

DEMOCRATS, WATCH THEM RIP THE FACE OF THE REPUBLICANS.

BECAUSE

THAT'S WHAT THEY HAVE COMING FOR ALL THOSE LIES YOU JUST SAW WITH

YOUR OWN EYES.

BAL X-Chock | Product Review | Lightweight Mechanical Chock for stabilizing your trailer or RV - Duration: 4:13.

Hi everyone i'm tom from mortons on the

move and welcome to road gear reviews

today we're taking a look at the

X- Chocks from BL RV products

stay tuned

the X Chock is a mechanical Chock

designed to work with tandem axle

trailers .... it works bike expanding out

against the tires and locking them

together so they cannot turn

it's designed to work on trailers and

rvs and you're typically going to have

two of them one for each side of the

trailer ... so in the boxes you get one

X chock and one three quarter inch

ratchet designed to sit on top of the

controls the contraction and expansion

of the chalk so this chalk is designed

to work with tires that are up to 10

inches apart or as close as one and

three-eighths inches together..... i have

seen it be attempted to be used on

tires that are really close together

before and I'd say that probably two

inches is about as close as they can be

and still use this function properly

The chock is relatively lightweight and has

this convenient handle that you can

easily carry it around with and put it

in between your tires with

it is made out of steel but it does have a

rust preventative coating on it and

although this one's brand-new we have

been using ours for over a year and we

don't see any rust on the chock....... a neat

feature of this is that it is lockable

when their expanded against the tires

you can put a padlock through the hole

on the end and it will prevent this from

being rotated and removed from your

trailer as opposed to other chalks out

there this is designed to work with the

natural movement of the tires instead of

against them and the benefit that gives

you is that it locks the tires a hundred

percent in place and they cannot move

and what it what it does for you is it

adds a lot of stability to an RV it

prevents forward and backward movement

that you could normally get in tires

even if you've got them chocked real

tight you're still going to have a

little bit of movement and tired and

this completely lock them up and

prevents that

that being said this is not intended to

act as a parking break to keep your RV

or trailer from rolling away it

specifically states that in the

literature as well.... the intended use of

these chocks is to place them between

your wheels once you've got your trailer

level and

set up in its appropriate place then it

will provide all the extra stabilization

that you wouldn't have without them we

have found these extremely easy-to-use

we expand them to the size of our tires

and we typically don't have to even move

them that much once we've got them set

up we just loosen them up a little bit

take them out of the tires put them away

and then we're at our next location we

can easily place them back into the

tires and tighten them up with only a

few cranks and the trailer is locked up

and very stable we've been using the

chock for over a year and they make a

noticeable difference before we had them

we didn't know we're missing but once

we've we've got them if we forget to put

them in

you definitely notice that they're not there

these chocks are easy to use and

they feel really well-built they've held

up and all the use that we've put them

through and they're also made right here

in the USA...... one drawback to these chocks

is that you can see there's a lot of moving

parts on here and that poses a bit of a

pinch point hazard if you're cranking

these down all these are starting to

move and if you get your finger in the

wrong spot that could really hurt

there's even a warning for pinch points

right on the handle so you gotta be

careful when you them another thing you

want to consider is that the the screw

in here that actually draws these up and

down needs to be kept grease it comes

with some grease on it and that could be

a drawback if you want to throw it in

your car you could get grease on your

carpet or something..... we put them in the

back of our truck so it's not really a

problem........ like i said earlier this extends

out to 10 inches but they do make a

model extends out to 17 inches for wider

space tires ........ be sure to take a look at

the description below for links of where

you can purchase these chocks.......... i'm tom

from mortons on the move
