there was a guy in the hospital...

he was suppose to be given an injection in the butt

the people were thinking that he didn't know the language

because...

they were speaking GA..

and this boy was a policeman who'd been all over the country

so he's been all over the country

so he undersood GA

the people were saying..

''let's just give him the injection''

and when he looked at them

when he looked at them, one of them said

''I think the guy understood''

right,right

Kudos for trying

they would be like ''wow, your name is long''

hahahhaa

((MANDARIN)) Speak Mandarin

((MANDARIN)) We can use Chinese to speak..

((SPANISH)) To chat it up here..

I learned 6 months of Spanish..

then I quit..because...

verbs..

((MANDARIN)) Verbs

((MANDARIN)) Verbs

very hard

((MANDARIN)) But I think if you already speak English, learning Spanish wouldn't be a problem

((MANDARIN)) The grammar..

((MANDARIN)) The verbs..

each one has 16 different forms

((MANDARIN)) Right, right..

((MANDARIN)) You're right to me it looks like different words..

((MANDARIN)) I agree

((MANDARIN)) Cantonese

''Adios''

''A pronto''

((MANDARIN)) You can also say 'A pronto' ''See you soon''

((JAPANESE)) Goodbye

((MANDARIN)) It wouldn't make me confused

see...that's what I say...

best way to learn Chinese

((MANDARIN)) You see...no, you see..

((MANDARIN)) This isn't my reason for learning Chinese

((MANDARIN)) Because I already knew how to speak Chinese before I met her

((MANDARIN)) But of course..

((MANDARIN)) I've already been with her for more than 10 years so....

((MANDARIN)) I've learned a lot of things..

((MANDARIN)) For example...idioms.....for example...

((MANDARIN)) There's a lot of idioms

((MANDARIN)) Right

((MANDARIN)) They are very good to use

((MANDARIN)) Yes, very good to use...

((MANDARIN)) After you try and translate into English...

then you'll be lost in translation..

((MANDARIN)) Right,right,right...

((MANDARIN)) Has very deep meanings

there's a story behind it..

((MANDARIN)) Right

there's a history

((MANDARIN)) A very long story

in English though...

((MANDARIN)) You can't..it's impossible..

lost in translation..

((MANDARIN)) For example, that story called...

((MANDARIN)) ''Waiting for the rabbit by the tree trunk''

ahahahhahahhahaha

((MANDARIN)) There's a long story

the best one is Maodun ''Contradiction''

He said ''I have the best shield''

then he also said ''I have the best spear''

((MANDARIN)) Right

that's contradicting...

((MANDARIN)) I'm very familiar with this one

((MANDARIN)) ''The frog at the bottom of the well''

hahahaha

yea, we have a lot of them. Maodun is good..

***I WAS TRYING TO RECALL THE FULL IDIOM***

((MANDARIN)) How do you say it. I forgot how to say it..

((MANDARIN)) There's 4 characters..

((MANDARIN)) There's a story because I read it a long time ago

((MANDARIN)) Nice to meet you

my daughter is Chinese. She doesn't know any Chinese

((MANDARIN)) It must be because she was born here

yea

((MANDARIN)) That's too bad

((MANDARIN)) But I don't think it's too late

Vietnam?

oh, Cambodia?

yea

oh, Cambodia?

Cambodia

((KHMER)) Hello

that's men's too

yea

I might get this one, I don't know..

I ask you because I study different languages

that's why I was wondering if you were from Vietnam or Cambodia

oh, that's good

Cambodia?

no

no?

one more guess..

Panama

oh, you're from Panama,too?

yea

((SPANISH)) Then you speak Spanish?

((SPANISH)) Yes

((SPANISH)) I apologize

((SPANISH)) I believed that you were from Asia

oh

((SPANISH)) I want to know because what I'm learning are Asian languages

((SPANISH)) You seemed to be from Asia

yea

((SPANISH)) Yes. Many are the same..

((SPANISH)) The same

((SPANISH)) Yes

((SPANISH)) I'm sorry

hahahhaha

No problem

((SPANISH)) Your Spanish is good

((SPANISH)) It's good?

((SPANISH)) It's....

hahhahhahahhaha

((SPANISH)) **I studied Spanish for a year** is what I should've said

((SPANISH)) But lately, I haven't had very many opportunities

((SPANISH)) Accent

((SPANISH)) Accent?

((SPANISH)) My accent?

no

((SPANISH)) What do you mean?

((SPANISH)) The vocabulary has accents

((SPANISH)) Yes

((SPANISH)) How to say it..

((SPANISH)) The vocabulary word with the accent

((SPANISH)) Yes

((SPANISH)) Like mamA

((SPANISH)) The a has an accent over it

((SPANISH)) Yes

((SPANISH)) If there isn't an accent then you say Mama

((SPANISH)) If there's no accent, you would say Mama

((SPANISH)) But with the accent, you say MamA

((SPANISH)) I got it

((SPANISH)) Like PapA

((SPANISH) If there's no accent, then you will say PapA

((SPANISH)) It isn't the same

((SPANISH)) That makes sense

((SPANISH)) It doesn't make sense

((SPANISH)) It doesn't make sense?

hahhahahhahahhaha

((SPANISH)) Because papa is a food..

((SPANISH)) for eating

((SPANISH)) Oh, it's food?

((SPANISH)) Have you seen a papa?

Papaya?

Potato

oh,OK

potato

((SPANISH))In Spanish it's Papa

((SPANISH)) But if you put the accent on it, it willbe PapA

((SPANISH)) That's father

((SPANISH)) Father,yes

((SPANISH)) I understand

((SPANISH)) But if you don't put on the accent, you would say Papa

((SPANISH)) It's different

((SPANISH)) It's different, yes..

((SPANISH)) I agree

hahahhaha

((SPANISH)) Nice to meet you

((SPANISH)) There aren't any accents in English

((SPANISH)) No there isn't..

((SPANISH)) None

((SPANISH)) Like the word maNYAna.

((SPANISH)) The NYA doesn't exist

((SPANISH)) But English doesn't need to use it

((SPANISH)) No, it doesn't need it

((SPANISH))No accents in English

((SPANISH)) Therefore..there's no accent in English

((SPANISH)) Therefore, you think English is easier than Spanish?

hahahhahahhaha

((SPANISH)) Because in English, the words don't have a lot of things/meanings

((SPANISH)) Yes

((SPANISH)) But in Spanish, different words..different letters..

((SPANISH)) right?

((SPANISH)) Right

((SPANISH)) But English..there's a lot of things..

((SPANISH)) The pronunciation is also a bit different

((SPANISH)) Yes, the pronunciation is very...

((SPANISH)) Like..door

((SPANISH)) The o is...

((SPANISH)) Sometimes pronunciation of the letters is close

((SPANISH)) Very interesting

((SPANISH)) Languages are very interesting to learn

((SPANISH)) Which languages do you speak?

((SPANISH)) English and Spanish

((SPANISH)) That's it?

probably after a year I would be a lot better

yea, you would

you'll be better than her

hahha..he said better than her..

you better not let that happen..

look, you made her mad..

alright

((TWI)) Goodbye

alright

((TWI)) Goodbye

what else did I get..

I think that was it..

a whole bunch of Twi

Yea, I saw you in there..

I was like''dang, this is the dude''

hhahhahahhaa

you're silly,man..

how long have you been watching for?

a while?

Tesla Baretrek Test Drive - Duration: 4:02.

You could boil rice right now... Yeah

Okay, Kinda on a trail... kinda on a trail...

then on a street, then a bridge, isn't that crazy?

It's a bridge to no where?!

So listen to this.

I am going down hill right here.

Hear that?

Hear that slapping?

Slapping on the street?

It's these soles.

These soles, they're great for rock protection, loud on flat surfaces.

I guess that's why they bill these as trail shoes.

But, anyway, it is something I can be aware of, and correct, if these are going to be

my daily drivers.

For $30, not bad.

Okay, 6 mile test run over.

Shoes are good.

They feel just like the old ones.

The only difference, I believe, is either the toebox is a little wider, or because I

sized up a half a size, but you got this rubber reinforcement here.

On either side, so I don't know if the sole was splitting at the flex or not, but that's

at least beefed up and other than that I think it's the same material, same fit, same placement

of the toe bumper, and I am hoping with these 12s I don't get a hole there... thanks to

my toenail.

I will cut the lace locks and these will be good to go.

The Science of a Selfie - Duration: 4:46.

If you're like me, you have a smartphone in your pocket.

It's easy to forget how incredible it is that one little device can do so many things.

Like taking pictures!

At one point, you needed a special camera

loaded with light-sensitive film to take a photo.

And if you didn't know what you were doing, all of your pictures would be ruined.

But nowadays, you can take hundreds of selfies with just the tap of your finger.

The digital camera inside your phone is doing the heavy lifting,

thanks to some feats of electrical engineering.

Digital cameras don't see images the way we do.

To them, a picture is just a series of ones and zeros.

So when you take a selfie, the first thing your phone has to do is change light into

electronic data that it can understand.

Light comes in packets of energy called photons.

And to generate an image, a digital camera needs to figure out how many photons are reflecting

off your face and coming through the lens, and how much energy those photons have.

To do that, digital cameras usually have an image sensor called

a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor, also known as a CMOS sensor.

There's a good chance that this is what's in your phone camera, or in a DSLR.

A CMOS sensor is mostly made up of layers of silicon, which is a semiconductor.

Semiconductors let you control electrical conductivity,

or how easily electrons can move through a material.

They're usually materials with chemical impurities mixed in, so they don't conduct

electricity as well as metals, but they're more conductive than an insulator, like plastic.

The CMOS sensor in your phone is made up of a grid of picture elements, known as pixels.

So when you take a selfie, a photon reflects off your face, flies into the camera,

and hits a pixel in the CMOS sensor.

When the photon hits a silicon atom in a pixel,

the atom absorbs the photon's energy, and its electrons become excited.

And if the photon transfers enough energy,

one of those excited electrons will get spit out.

This creates a charge in that particular pixel,

which the camera measures and interprets as brightness.

The more photons that hit a pixel, the stronger the charge, and the brighter that pixel gets.

Now, on their own, all these pixels can detect is brightness.

Any picture they take would be black and white.

Adding color means there's another piece to this technology puzzle.

Like paint, light has three primary colors, in this case, red, green, and blue.

By mixing them together in different amounts, you can create any other visible color.

So to make a color photo, a digital camera has to measure how much red, green, and blue

light is hitting the sensor at each pixel, rather than measuring all photons

that are hitting each pixel.

There are a couple of ways to do this, but one common system, called a Bayer array, involves

layering colored filters over groups of four pixels: one red, one blue, and two green.

The array uses two green pixels because our eyes are especially sensitive

to green wavelengths of light.

With a Bayer array, each pixel can absorb energy from

one of the three primary colors of light and become charged.

Once the sensor has measured the charges created at each pixel, the camera has to interpret

all that color and brightness information to generate an image.

There's a lot that goes into this, but one important step is called demosaicing.

Basically, the camera needs to blend the primary colors together.

Otherwise, every pixel would be either pure red, green, or blue.

Demosaicing involves some guesswork,

like how much blue light would've hit a nearby green pixel.

Engineers and mathematicians have several methods to calculate this, but most involve

algorithms that compare nearby pixels to each other and average out their values.

Thanks to this process and some more computing power,

your phone will display a picture on its screen.

But if there's something you want to do with it, like, say, post it to Instagram,

there's often one more step: the image file needs to be compressed.

See, digital cameras collect a lot of data very quickly.

And if you want to send your picture over the Internet,

you usually want to make it smaller.

There are lots of different algorithms for compressing images, but the one you'll see

most often on the web was developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group, or JPEG.

JPEG compression divides the pictures up into eight by eight blocks of pixels,

and simplifies the information needed to describe them.

Compression isn't always perfect, larger blocks can lose too much detail and make the

image pixelated, while smaller blocks will preserve more information,

but the file size will still be pretty big.

But to social media sites, which have to pay to store all those selfies you post,

small files are more important.

So thanks to a lot of technology working together, in less than a second, your phone can turn

light energy into a digital signal, piece that signal together, and compress it into

a neat little package, a picture you can share with the world.

The Week in Review - 30 June 2017 - Duration: 1:27.

UN-led talks aimed at a comprehensive settlement to the Cyprus issue resumed in Switzerland this week.

Secretary-General António Guterres encouraged all parties to show

the necessary political will and determination to "clear the final hurdle."

I call on the leaders and other participants in the Conference

to heed the call for peace of thousands of Cypriots at rallies on the island this week.

The voices in support of a solution are indeed getting louder.

The UN closed its peacekeeping operation in Côte d'Ivoire this week.

Over the past 14 years, the mission helped to restore peace and stability following the country's civil war.

The UN, through its Country Team, will continue

to support efforts to consolidate peace in the West African nation.

Education is at the heart of inclusive and sustainable development,

top UN officials told a General Assembly high-level meeting this week.

To advance the 2030 Agenda, the world needs more efforts to ensure

quality education for all children, youth and adults, throughout their lives.
