Strange New Planet Discovered --"Hotter Than Most Stars"

"It's a planet by any of the typical definitions based on mass, but its atmosphere is almost

certainly unlike any other planet we've ever seen just because of the temperature of its

day side," said Scott Gaudi, professor of astronomy at The Ohio State University and

a leader of the study.

A newly discovered Jupiter-like world is so hot that it's stretching the definition of

the word "planet."

With a day-side temperature of 4,600 Kelvin (more than 7,800 degrees Fahrenheit), planet

KELT-9b is hotter than most stars, and only 1,200 Kelvin (about 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit)

cooler than our own sun.

For instance, it's a gas giant 2.8 times more massive than Jupiter but only half as dense,

because the extreme radiation from its host star has caused its atmosphere to puff up

like a balloon.

And because it is tidally locked to its star--as the Moon is to Earth--the day side of the

planet is perpetually bombarded by stellar radiation, and as a result is so hot that

molecules such as water, carbon dioxide, and methane can't form there.

The properties of the night side are still mysterious--molecules may be able to form

there, but probably only temporarily.

KELT-9b orbits a star, dubbed KELT-9, which is more than twice as large and nearly twice

as hot as our sun.

Keivan Stassun, a professor of physics and astronomy at Vanderbilt who directed the study

with Gaudi said, "KELT-9 radiates so much ultraviolet radiation that it may completely

evaporate the planet.

Or, if gas giant planets like KELT-9b possess solid rocky cores as some theories suggest,

the planet may be boiled down to a barren rock, like Mercury."

That is, if the star doesn't grow to engulf it first.

"KELT-9 will swell to become a red giant star in about a billion years," said Stassun.

"The long-term prospects for life, or real estate for that matter, on KELT-9b are not

looking good."

Given that its atmosphere is constantly blasted with high levels of ultraviolet radiation,

the planet may even be shedding a tail of evaporated planetary material like a comet,

Gaudi added.

While Gaudi and Stassun spend a lot of time developing missions designed to find habitable

planets in other solar systems, the scientists said there's a good reason to study worlds

that are unlivable in the extreme.

"As has been highlighted by the recent discoveries from the MEarth collaboration, the planet

around Proxima Centauri, and the astonishing system discovered around TRAPPIST-1, the astronomical

community is clearly focused on finding Earthlike planets around small, cooler stars like our

sun.

They are easy targets and there's a lot that can be learned about potentially habitable

planets orbiting very low-mass stars in general.

On the other hand, because KELT-9b's host star is bigger and hotter than the sun, it

complements those efforts and provides a kind of touchstone for understanding how planetary

systems form around hot, massive stars," Gaudi said.

Stassun added, "As we seek to develop a complete picture of the variety of other worlds out

there, it's important to know not only how planets form and evolve, but also when and

under what conditions they are destroyed.

In 2014, astronomers using the KELT-North telescope at Winer Observatory in Arizona

noticed a tiny drop in the star's brightness--only about half of one percent-- that indicated

that a planet may have passed in front of the star.

The brightness dipped once every 1.5 days, which means the planet completes a "yearly"

circuit around its star every 1.5 days.

Subsequent observations confirmed the signal to be due to a planet, and revealed it to

be what astronomers call a "hot Jupiter"--the ideal kind of planet for the KELT telescopes

to spot.

KELT is short for "Kilodegree Extremely Little Telescope."

Astronomers at Ohio State, Vanderbilt University, and Lehigh University jointly operate two

KELTs (one each in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres) in order to fill a large gap

in the available technologies for finding extrasolar planets.

Other telescopes are designed to look at very faint stars in much small sections of the

sky, and at very high resolution.

The KELTs, in contrast, look at millions of very bright stars at once, over broad sections

of sky, and at low resolution.

It's a low-cost means of planet hunting, using mostly off-the-shelf technology: whereas a

traditional astronomical telescope costs millions of dollars to build, the hardware for a KELT

telescope runs less than $75,000.

"This discovery is a testament to the discovery power of small telescopes, and the ability

of citizen scientists to directly contribute to cutting-edge scientific research," said

Joshua Pepper, astronomer and assistant professor of physics at Lehigh University, who built

the two KELT telescopes.

The astronomers hope to take a closer look at KELT-9b with other telescopes--including

Spitzer, the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), and eventually the James Webb Space Telescope.

Observations with HST would enable them to see if the planet really does have a cometary

tail, and allow them to determine how much longer that planet will survive

its current hellish condition.

How Do We Know the Universe is Flat? Discovering the Topology of the Universe - Duration: 8:18.

Whenever we talk about the expanding Universe, everyone wants to know how this is going to

end.

Sure, they say, the fact that most of the galaxies we can see are speeding away from

us in all directions is really interesting.

Sure, they say, the Big Bang makes sense, in that everything was closer together billions

of years ago.

But how does it end?

Does this go on forever?

Do galaxies eventually slow down, come to a stop, and then hurtle back together in a

Big Crunch?

Will we get a non-stop cycle of Big Bangs, forever and ever?

We've done a bunch of episodes on many different aspects of this question, and the current

conclusion astronomers have reached is that because the Universe is flat, it's never

going to collapse in on itself and start another Big Bang.

But wait, what does it mean to say that the Universe is "flat"?

Why is that important, and how do we even know?

Before we can get started talking about the flatness of the Universe, we need to talk

about flatness in general.

What does it mean to say that something is flat?

If you're in a square room and walk around the corners, you'll return to your starting

point having made 4 90-degree turns.

You can say that your room is flat.

This is Euclidian geometry.

But if you make the same journey on the surface of the Earth.

Start at the equator, make a 90-degree turn, walk up to the North Pole, make another 90-degree

turn, return to the equator, another 90-degree turn and return to your starting point.

In one situation, you made 4 turns to return to your starting point, in another situation

it only took 3.

That's because the topology of the surface you were walking on decided what happens when

you take a 90-degree turn.

You can imagine an even more extreme example, where you're walking around inside a crater,

and it takes more than 4 turns to return to your starting point.

Another analogy, of course, is the idea of parallel lines.

If you fire off two parallel lines at the North pole, they move away from each other,

following the topology of the Earth and then come back together.

Got that?

Great.

Now, what about the Universe itself?

You can imagine that same analogy.

Imaging flying out into space on a rocket for billions of light-years, performing 90-degree

maneuvers and returning to your starting point.

You can't do it in 3, or 5, you need 4, which means that the topology of the Universe

is flat.

Which is totally intuitive, right?

I mean, that would be your assumption.

But astronomers were skeptical and needed to know for certain, and so, they set out

to test this assumption.

In order to prove the flatness of the Universe, you would need to travel a long way.

And astronomers use the largest possible observation they can make.

The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation, the afterglow of the Big Bang, visible in

all directions as a red-shifted, fading moment when the Universe became transparent about

380,000 years after the Big Bang.

When this radiation was released, the entire Universe was approximately 2,700 C.

This was the moment when it was cool enough for photons were finally free to roam across

the Universe.

The expansion of the Universe stretched these photons out over their 13.8 billion year journey,

shifting them down into the microwave spectrum, just 2.7 degrees above absolute zero.

With the most sensitive space-based telescopes they have available, astronomers are able

to detect tiny variations in the temperature of this background radiation.

And here's the part that blows my mind every time I think about it.

These tiny temperature variations correspond to the largest scale structures of the observable

Universe.

A region that was a fraction of a degree warmer become a vast galaxy cluster, hundreds of

millions of light-years across.

The Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation just gives and gives, and when it comes to

figuring out the topology of the Universe, it has the answer we need.

If the Universe was curved in any way, these temperature variations would appear distorted

compared to the actual size that we see these structures today.

But they're not.

To best of its ability, ESA's Planck space telescope, can't detect any distortion at

all.

The Universe is flat.

Well, that's not exactly true.

According to the best measurements astronomers have ever been able to make, the curvature

of the Universe falls within a range of error bars that indicates it's flat.

Future observations by some super Planck telescope could show a slight curvature, but for now,

the best measurements out there say... flat.

In a moment, I'm going to talk about what are the implications of a flat Universe, but

first I'd like to thank Marc Barry, Clint Kirkgard, Brian Cagle, and the rest of our

740 patrons for their generous support.

If you love what we're doing and want to help out, head over to patreon.com/universetoday

We say that the Universe is flat, and this means that parallel lines will always remain

parallel.

90-degree turns behave as true 90-degree turns, and everything makes sense.

But what are the implications for the entire Universe?

What does this tell us?

Unfortunately, the biggest thing is what it doesn't tell us.

We still don't know if the Universe is finite or infinite.

If we could measure its curvature, we could know that we're in a finite Universe, and

get a sense of what its actual true size is, out beyond the observable Universe we can

measure.

We know that the volume of the Universe is at least 100 times more than we can observe.

At least.

If the flatness error bars get brought down, the minimum size of the Universe goes up.

And remember, an infinite Universe is still on the table.

Another thing this does, is that it actually causes a problem for the original Big Bang

theory, requiring the development of a theory like inflation.

Since the Universe is flat now, it must have been flat in the past, when the Universe was

an incredibly dense singularity.

And for it to maintain this level of flatness over 13.8 billion years of expansion, in kind

of amazing.

In fact, astronomers estimate that the Universe must have been flat to 1 part within 1x10^57

parts.

Which seems like an insane coincidence.

The development of inflation, however, solves this, by expanding the Universe an incomprehensible

amount moments after the Big Bang.

Pre and post inflation Universes can have vastly different levels of curvature.

In the olden days, cosmologists used to say that the flatness of the Universe had implications

for its future.

If the Universe was curved where you could complete a full journey with less than 4 turns,

that meant it was closed and destined to collapse in on itself.

And it was more than 4 turns, it was open and destined to expand forever.

Well, that doesn't really matter any more.

In 1998, the astronomers discovered dark energy, which is this mysterious force accelerating

the expansion of the Universe.

Whether the Universe is open, closed or flat, it's going to keep on expanding.

In fact, that expansion is going to accelerate, forever.

I hope this gives you a little more understanding of what cosmologists mean when they say that

the Universe is flat.

And how do we know it's flat?

Very precise measurements in the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation.

Is there anything that all pervasive relic of the early Universe can't do?

Another mind-bending, brain breaking episode.

As before, I've really just scratched the surface of the topography of the Universe.

And I know you're going to want to learn more.

I've created a playlist with 5 helpful videos.

The first 2 come from my alien friend Zogg from Betelgeuse, who explains why the Universe

has no edge, and what a potential topology could be.

PBS Spacetime explains how Inflation flattened the Universe.

"I Forgot You're Disabled" | #SpinaBifida - Duration: 0:51.

"Oh, I forgot you were disabled."

You forgot I was disabled?

You forgot my slow pace whenever we walk to the store?

You forgot the times I asked if we could sit

for a while as I catch my breath?

You forgot telling me that my feet are swollen and turning purple?

You forgot seeing me take my medicine out during the day?

You forgot liking my posts online about disability rights?

You forgot the videos that I make

speaking about my disability?

You forgot that I'm disabled because I don't fit

your stereotype of disability.

You forgot that I was disabled because for you

forgetting that I'm disabled means that we can do "normal things".

Forgetting means you forget to treat me as whole.

To treat me as a person you care for

even though I'm not like you.

"Oh! I forgot that you're disabled."

Really means that you forgot to accept me for every part of my being.

You didn't forget that I was disabled.

You just forgot how to care.

2015-2016 F150 CGS Motorsports Stainless Cat-Back Exhaust 3.5L EcoBoost Sound Clip & Install - Duration: 4:41.

Hey, everybody.

I'm Justin with americanmuscle.com, and this is my detailed breakdown and install of the

CGS Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System available for your 2015 and newer 3.5 Liter

EcoBoost F150.

This quick review is gonna cover my thoughts on the sound you can expect when bolting up

the CGS to your EcoBoost-powered ride, what you're gonna be seeing as far as construction

materials, and then finally, we'll event talk through the install here with the system.

And right on the surface I'm gonna tell you Supercrew, Supercab F-150, this is a 100%

bolt-on job, no cutting, no permanent modification needed.

So let's call it one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, and I will have a

little bit more detail later on.

So the full stainless CGS system that we do have in this video should appeal to the truck

owners out there who really don't want to drop a huge sum of money for an aftermarket

cat-back but would still like to get a noticeable bumping sound while still maintaining a great

build in that full stainless steel material.

Now with that said, if that sounds like you, let's dive a little deeper into the system,

and sound would be a great place to start here with the CGS system so let's dive right

in.

And in my opinion guys, you heard the sound clips, I think for the price the CGS produces

a very decent tone overall.

Now to be completely honest here, the aluminized steel version and the stainless steel version

sound identical to my ears and that's not really a bad thing in my opinion.

You're looking at a middle of the road three out of five here on my one to five or one

to wake the neighbor scale, it's definitely a little louder than stock but it's not gonna

drive you crazy.

The tone is deep, it's not raspy at all, you pick up a little bit more turbo noise over

stock and that interior noise while noticeable, again, isn't gonna drive you crazy on long

trips.

With the sound aside, let's talk about how this system kind of comes to life here and

it all surrounds around the CGS high flow muffler.

It is a chamber designed single inlet, single outlet all going through the three-inch Mandrel

bent tubing exiting out the four-inch double wall slash cut tip.

I will say the tip in this kit is much nicer than the one that is included with the aluminized

steel version, but again, you're looking at a full stainless steel build throughout here

with this particular system, and as such it is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

And we have mentioned that this is an affordable option in the land of full stainless systems

and it is, it's just north of 400 bucks here for the full stainless option from CGS.

Your only other options on the site currently in that price point are the pipe systems and

also the XP series from MBRP.

But let's talk about the install as promised earlier in the video, and as I mentioned earlier

in this video here if you have a Supercrew or Supercab F-150 you're in for a very easy

day in the shop or garage.

One out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, maybe an hour or two before you're

making some noise.

Again, this is a very simple bolt-on job, there's no cutting or permanent modification

needed, so if you have a basic set of hand tools and a little bit of mechanical expertise

you're gonna be able to knock this one out.

Now when it comes to time start wrenching, obviously that factory system will need to

be removed first before you can install the CGS system here.

So get that out of the way using your basic socket set, and an extra set of hands would

definitely be helpful here as that factory system can be a little big and a little cumbersome.

With that out of the way, you can start hanging the new CGS system.

I would recommend starting from front to back.

Get the entire system on the truck, and then save your final tighten up for the very end,

and you should be good to go.

While the CGS brand or name might not be as big or recognizable as some of the other options

in the category, I was very impressed with not only the sound but also the build and

materials given the very affordable price.

So that's my review of the CGS Full Stainless Cat-Back for your EcoBoost F-150, which you

can grab right here at americanmuscle.com.

2009-2014 F150 Raxiom LED Front Turn Signal Bulb Kit Review & Install - Duration: 2:43.

Hey, I'm Alex from americanmuscle.com with my quick review of the Raxiom LED Front Turn

Signals, fitting the 2009 through 2014 F-150.

So in this video, I'm gonna give a quick overview of who these might appeal to or what you should

expect to be spending, and then last but not least we're gonna hit the installation, but

right off the bat I'm giving these a very easy one out of three wrenches in the difficulty

meter.

You should have this pair on your truck in about 30 to 45 minutes tops.

So if you're the F-150 owner that's either towards the end of your build or if you're

just looking for one of your first modifications without spending an arm and a leg, I would

definitely suggest checking out this kit as it's an incredibly easy to install modification

that's going to make a world of difference to the front end of your truck.

So with these LED bulbs are not only going to be giving your F-150 a very nice modern

makeover, but you're gonna be making it look that much more aggressive, as well as making

yourself and your truck that much more visible on the streets.

On top of that these LED bulbs are going to run that much cooler, blast that much longer

in comparison to your standard incandescent bulb, and then again, look that much better.

So taking a quick look at the construction here, we're gonna see that these are gonna

feature a very tough LED chip, as well as featuring a very sturdy body.

And now, one thing that I can't stress enough is that is if you're looking for LEDs out

there I would definitely shy away from some of the lesser costing ones as they're gonna

be very inferior.

I can't tell you how many times enough, either on my personal truck or even my car, that

I bought something that's gonna be a very low dollar amount, and then as soon as I pulled

them out of the package they essentially broke in my hands.

That's not something you're gonna have to worry about with these as I have them on my

own truck and they are definitely very sturdy.

So in terms of the pricing, you should expect to be spending around 40 bucks for the set,

which, in my opinion, is definitely a bargain for what you're gonna be getting.

Again, you're gonna be making the front end of your truck look that much more modern and

bring it up to current-day standards as well as making your truck that much more visible

in poor lighting conditions.

So again the insulation alone is going to be a massive selling point for me as this

really is not gonna require too much effort at all just to get these onto your truck.

Some of the tools you're going to need here is essentially just gonna be a quarter-inch

ratchet as well as a 10-millimeter socket.

And then once you have that, it's easy as popping the hood, pulling three bolts, moving

out your headlights, swapping the bulb, and you're good to go.

It does not get any easier than that.

Well, great.

So just to wrap things up here I definitely like this option for the F-150 not only based

on the fact that I've got a few ratcheting parts myself, but I actually do have these

on my own truck.

Now, again, for the ease of installation just like we checked out, for the very aggressive

price as well as bringing the front end of your truck up to modern standards with LED

lighting, I would definitely suggest this for any '09 through '14 F-150 owner.

All right, so that's my review for the Raxiom Front LED Turn Signals bulbs, fitting your

2009 through 2014 F-150, available right here at AmericanMuscle.com.

2015-2016 F150 Putco Smoked LED Third Brake Light Review & Install - Duration: 4:06.

Hey, everybody, I'm Justin with americanmuscle.com, and this is my quick review of the smoked

LED third brake light option from Putco, available for your 2015 and newer F-150.

In this video, I'm gonna talk about the design and construction of the Putco light itself,

what you can expect in regards to total light output, and I'm also going to give you a quick

walk-through of the install of the light here which really isn't that bad, guys.

Total plug and play job.

Expect a very simple one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, and we'll have more

on that later.

Now, the Putco smoked LED third brake light option is going to be for the truck owners

out there who is looking to make a big departure from the factory third brake light in both

appearance and functionality and will also be a key part in upgrading all of your truck's

exterior lighting to the more modern LED.

Now, this is going to be a very modern light in regards to overall style and outward appearance

as you can see but does pack some modern tech with those LEDs, of course.

And best part is, it's going to be completely plug and play.

Let's start with off with the construction of the Putco light.

And as you can see, again, guys, it took a very modern approach when it comes to designing

and styling this light.

You're looking at an ABS plastic housing here.

A row of high-intensity red LEDs are gonna make up the center portion and these guys

are going to be handling your braking duties.

Now, these LEDs are obviously gonna be much brighter than the factory incandescent lighting

in your factory third brake light.

And this is something you really want when you're talking about a third brake light,

right?

Because it's only going to increase your visibility, both day and night, and this is going to increase

your safety while on the road.

Flanking the brake light portion of the Putco light, you're going to find four individual

bright white LEDs.

And these guys are actually going to illuminate the bed and all of its cargo.

And again, are gonna do a great job.

And I think this is one of the biggest plusses when going with the Putco light in general.

The total light output is really just gonna blow you away.

From the brake lights to the bed and cargo lights, much better than the factory lighting

in general.

A portion of that can be attributed to the fact that Putco utilizes what they call a

deep LED set up with this particular light.

And basically all that means, guys, is they're gonna set the diode back into the housing

a little bit further, and that's gonna give you a little bit more light output thanks

to the reflectivity in addition to making for a very unique look.

And speaking of looks, this is Putco's smoked option, of course, here on the table.

But you can also grab this light in a clear or chrome option as well.

Both available, or all three available here at AM.

Whatever option you do decide to grab, guys, they're all gonna come equipped with Putco's

ion chrome coating which is actually a coating they apply to the interior lens here.

And again, just gonna help increase the total light output overall, thanks to the increased

reflectivity along with those deep LEDs.

Now, I do want to quickly come back to the smoked option here again with me on the table.

And honestly, guys, when I first saw this thing, I actually thought it was the clear

version.

It just doesn't resemble a smoked light to me.

Now, some of you guys might be okay with that but some of you guys might prefer the more

dark or aggressive smoked light.

And if that's what you're after, then you might wanna check out a different light.

As far as price, guys, well this is definitely gonna be one of the more premium third brake

light options available here at AM, landing you right in the mid-100 dollar price point.

Which is going to be, again, a little expensive for some of you guys out there.

But keep in mind you are getting probably one of the better built third brake light

options in the category along with Putco's one year warranty.

As far as the install again, guys, you're looking at a very straightforward job.

Total plug and play stuff here.

So first, go ahead and remove that factory third brake light using a screwdriver to remove

the two screws holding it in place.

Unplug that light and remove it from the truck.

Plug in the Putco light and then re-install in reverse order and that's pretty much it,

guys.

Again, a very soft one out of three wrenches on my difficulty meter.

And maybe 30 minutes from start to finish to get the light in place.

Wrapping this one up here, guys.

Ford did a great job of adding exterior LED lighting to the truck for the most part.

But they did leave a few key areas out, the third brake light being one of them.

By adding Putco's option here, you are getting the benefits of that modern LED lighting and

functionality, while adding a very modern and aggressive light at the same time.

So be sure to check out a Putco third brake light option for your truck right here at

americanmuscle.com.

try something new for me that has probably been touched upon various times

in YouTube but that I really really wanted to try. I was recently looking

through YouTube at new tutorials and I thought to myself "oh how I wish there

was a Princess Leia nails decal that I could use on my nails" and then I thought

to myself "how about I make it?" I started looking at DIY on

YouTube to see if anybody had any idea how to do it. I saw various methods but

this one I think was the easiest that I saw. I am going to try it

this method as seen on a video called "Cheap easy fast print your own nail

decals" by Rebekah Lawson, which I'm going to link somewhere here, and she basically

like goes step by step on what to do so I'm gonna replicate that with my Leia

nails and I'm going to show you guys the process, I'm going to tell you guys the

materials that I use, and at the end I'm going to tell you guys whether I think

it's easier, whether I liked it or not, and of course any of this is not a

reflection on Rebekah's Lawson. If there's any mistakes or any errors it's on me

and yeah just wanted to see if this actually worked. As I tell you guys

in every video, I am NOT being sponsored by any of the people that I mentioned, by

any of the youtubers that I mention, by any of the companies that I mention, by

any of the brands that I mentioned. I am NOT being sponsored by any of them. I was

not told to do this video; this video really comes out of the curiosity of my

own self and wanting to see if this works, and everything that was done on

this was done with materials that I had or that I bought specifically for this

video, to make these nails. I'm not being sponsored by any of them in any way,

shape or form. It's all done by me except for the technique.

What I'm going to be using is... I'm going to be using three different colors

of nail polishes and a nail topcoat; two of the colors and the nail topcoat are

from the brand Bissú, the other one is from Claire's, it is a blueberry one. I'm

also going to be using fake nails because of reasons. These fake nails are

also from Claire's they were on their $2 clearance section so that's what I'm

using. Of course I'm using a print of the pictures, regular tape and that's

pretty much it... that I remember... oh and scissors you're going to need

scissors. Let's go ahead and watch the process and then we'll see the results

The results are in! Now I have to tell you guys in advance that even though

these are the smaller version of the nails

I have such tiny fingers that they may look humongous on my fingers. Here they

are! Now if it will focus on it. I'm hoping it will. There are the decals of Princess

Leia and of course we have to have a glitter one for Carrie. Now what I think. I

mean I obviously works; the images did transfer into the tape but I found that

for some reason it works better on black and white than on color and this might

be because of a user error in the way that I protected them, they kind of... they

were ruined. I think that it works much better on simple images and if you work

around with you know the contrasts and things so that the little details come

out better, that'll make that we call much much better and much easier to

appreciate. In this round around the decal was a little bit too dark because

it is black and white, so I mean that's something to learn from. I think that

the smaller the image the better it'll be because the nails have like a natural

curvature, and even fake nails have a natural curvature, so when you're putting

that plastic on even if you press on as much as you want

it doesn't quite get that same curvature so you can find like a little bit of

unstickiness on the edges even though I put a lot of the top coat on because I

didn't want it to unstick. That is the con. I think that it would work much better

on like smaller images such as the one that she did and not the ones that I did.

I will say though that it is time-consuming especially when you're

trying to cut it off, because if it has as many little like corners as mine do

you have to be really really careful when you're cutting them because if you

pull at it the tape will break and it'll tear basically and when it tears

it doesn't like follow a straight line it can actually tear into your decal so

you have to be really really careful about that. I could say that it totally

works and I am going to definitely be looking more into redoing this and

trying a better and finding like better ways to make sure that this is like

fully fully flat on the nail with the natural curvature but other than that, I

mean it works and I've got Princess Leia on my nail so yay. The horrorness of this is

because I suck at nail artist so that is all user error. How huge they...do they

look on my fingers? Oh my god they look so huge, but anyway it does work. You do

have to be patient though and have to be very very very careful for this to work

but if you guys want to go ahead and try it

it shouldn't really like cost you a lot and it definitely... What do I

know? So probably search online before doing that to your natural nail which is

also why I decided to do fake nails. Thank you for looking into this whole

video and for watching it with me. I am trying to like expand my horizons and

what I post on my videos. I really never thought that I'm going to be posting nail

art or nail art attempts such as this because I'm not very good at it but it

is a method that really intrigued me and I wanted to see if it really worked so

there is that. Thank you for watching this video. If you guys want to go ahead and

Inova Blood Donor: Charles - Duration: 1:08.

Hi.

I've been donating blood since 1971 with my latest donation I'm at approximately 269 pints,

which would make me over 33 gallons most of that have been through the

American Red Cross rather than Inova Blood Donor Services but the point is that every

time you give blood or blood products you have the potential of saving someone's life

and if you don't save their life you may make the quality of

their life better so if we think about how many years I've been donating all the people

that I've donated to there are a lot of people walking this earth right now that maybe I

had role in them having a better life or even saving

their life.

Early in the years my early years they started talking about coming up with artificial blood

well it's been over 40 years and they've never been able to replace human sources for blood

so just think every time you give a blood product you could save someone's life and

if you do that then you'll give and you'll give often thank you

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency- causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, pathology - Duration: 8:37.

Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is a genetic disorder in which a protein called alpha-1

antitrypsin is defective or absent, and it causes lung and liver disease.

Trypsins are a type of protease, which is an enzyme that can break down other proteins.

So this antitrypsin protein is a protease inhibitor, and inactivates trypsins, thereby

preventing protein breakdown.

The "alpha-1" is just a holdover from when the protein was discovered – a letter

and number combination given before its role was known.

Now, in the lungs, if we zoom in on a tiny alveolus—where gas exchange happens—if

there's some sort of infection or other cause of inflammation, immune cells like neutrophils

arrive on the scene.

Neutrophils make an enzyme called neutrophil elastase, a protease capable of breaking down

elastin, which is an extracellular matrix protein that gives elasticity and strength

to lung tissues.

So while these little guys can help fight off infection by breaking down proteins of

the bacteria, it can also go on to break down that precious elastin.

Fortunately, the liver makes alpha-1 antitrypsin which gets released into the blood and sent

to the lungs, where it inhibits neutrophil elastase just like it inhibits trypsin, inactivating

it before it can break down the protein elastin.

Without alpha-1 antitrypsin, the opposite happens - neutrophil elastase goes unchecked,

and it damages the walls of the alveoli, and without that elastin, the alveoli loses it's

elasticity and structural integrity.

Zooming out a bit and looking at the acinus, which is a bunch of alveoli, it just turns

into one big cavity.

This destruction and enlargement of the air spaces is called emphysema.

It turns out that emphysema can develop in a couple different ways, and alpha-1 antitrypsin

deficiency causes pan-acinar emphysema, meaning the whole acinus is affected, and it also

tends to affect the lungs' lower lobes the most.

Another effect of unchecked inflammation in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency is chronic

bronchitis, resulting from increased mucus production and narrowing of the airways.

So alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency can lead to both emphysema and chronic bronchitis,

the two types of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or COPD.

Another, more common cause of COPD is smoking, and if someone with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

also smokes, they tend to get an earlier onset of COPD than they have otherwise, an example

of a gene-environment interaction.

The gene that encodes alpha-1 antitrypsin protein is called SERPINA1, which stands for

serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade A, member 1.

While some mutations in SERPINA1 completely abolish the gene's message meaning no protein,

others like the most common mutation, called Pi*Z, results in a misfolded alpha-1 antitrypsin

protein being made.

Misfolded alpha-1 antitrypsin can aggregate and get stuck in the endoplasmic reticulum

of the liver hepatocytes where it's made, causing some of those cells to die.

Now, each wild-type, or normal, copy of alpha-1 antitrypsin protein, termed M, contributes

50% of normal A1AT activity, meaning two normal copies gets you 100%, which just means there's

a normal amount of A1AT in the blood.

If instead they had one normal copy and one mutant copy , Z, abbreviated PiMZ, the mutated

gene only contributes ~ 10% normal amounts, so these individuals only have about 60% the

normal levels, which is usually enough to protect the lungs in non-smokers.

If both copies of the gene were mutant Z copies, then typically there's only 15 - 20% of

normal levels, which results in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency.

Since you need both mutant copies for the disease, this makes alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency

a recessive disease.

Symptoms of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency typically involve the lungs and liver.

The changes in the lungs that cause chronic obstructive pulmonary disease result in shortness

of breath, as well as wheezing, mucus production, and a chronic cough.

The death of liver cells can ultimately lead to cirrhosis, a process in which normal liver

tissue is replaced with scar tissue.

Cirrhosis can ultimately lead to a number of complications including an inability to

make coagulation factors, difficulty with detoxification leading to a buildup of waste

products that can cause hepatic encephalopathy, and an increase in the risk of a type of liver

cancer called hepatocellular carcinoma.

Although cirrhosis usually affects adults, even newborns can have complications like

jaundice, or buildup of bilirubin in the blood, on account of poor excretion by the liver.

If, however, somebody has the mutant SERPINA1 that results in no A1AT, as opposed to the

misfolded ones that get stuck, then they typically don't have liver disease!.

Diagnosis of alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency often begins with a chest X-ray or Chest CT

to look for hyperinflated lungs or evidence of damaged lung tissue.

In addition, pulmonary function testing can be used to measure how quickly air exits the

lung, which can be slower than normal.

The level of alpha-1 antitrypsin in the blood can also be measured.

Cirrhosis caused by alpha-1 antitrypsin can be diagnosed with a liver biopsy.

Liver cells are treated with a combination of two reagents called Periodic acid and Schiff,

or PAS.

This test stains glycoproteins like alpha-1 antitrypsin a pink color.

The tissue is also exposed to diastase, which is an enzyme that normally destroys alpha-1

antitrypsin, but since alpha-1 antitrypsin's stuck and hidden away in the endoplasmic reticulum,

diastase can't get to it and so it's diastase resistant.

So we say that they'd be Periodic acid and schiff positive, or PAS positive, as well

as diastase resistant.

In terms of treatment, augmentation therapy is where you replace alpha-1 antitrypsin in

the blood, although this doesn't cure the disease, so other therapies for chronic obstructive

pulmonary disease like supplemental oxygen are often needed as well.

Supplementing the deficient protein in the blood doesn't fix the liver problems, since

they're caused by defective alpha-1 antitrypsin building up in the hepatocytes.

So standard treatments for cirrhosis are needed, like lactulose to prevent hepatic encephalopathy.

Quick recap – In alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, the alveoli in the lungsvv are damaged by

neutrophil elastase since there's no alpha 1 antitrypsin to counter it, causing chronic

obstructive pulmonary disease, and in the liver, misfolded alpha 1 antitrypsin builds

up, killing hepatocytes and leading to cirrhosis.

How Studying Venus Saved Earth - Duration: 4:47.

In 1928, chemists invented a type of molecule that seemed perfect.

By the seventies, these molecules were in all kinds of things,

making companies billions of dollars a year.

Then, in 1974, a pair of scientists discovered that these miracle molecules were destroying

a part of Earth's atmosphere that keeps us alive.

It took years to convince the world they were right,

and another three decades for the planet to finally start healing.

But these scientists didn't even set out to save the Earth,

they were just studying what happens on Venus.

Those seemingly perfect molecules were chlorofluorocarbons, or CFCs,

which have chlorine, fluorine, and carbon atoms bonded together in different ways.

The great thing about CFCs was that almost nothing would react with them

or break them apart.

The carbon-fluorine bonds in a CFC like Teflon, for example, are so strong that the strongest

acids in the world can't break them.

Plus, CFCs were non-toxic, fireproof, and relatively easy to make

for lots of different purposes.

So CFCs were all over the place by the seventies: refrigerators, fire extinguishers, aerosols,

solvents, insulation, you name it.

A million metric tons of gaseous CFCs were released into the atmosphere every year, and

at the time scientists just assumed that CFCs would keep being their wonderfully inert selves

in the atmosphere and not cause any problems.

CFCs were so unreactive down here at the surface that scientists working on them didn't bother

checking what happened when they got higher up.

So they missed something important:

CFCs were destroying the ozone layer, the part of Earth's atmosphere made up of three-atom

oxygen molecules that absorb a lot of harmful UV radiation before it reaches the surface.

And it took researchers working on a completely different planet-wide conundrum, on a totally

different planet, to figure that out.

Venus's atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide, with a tiny bit of nitrogen, water vapor,

carbon monoxide, and hydrochloric, hydrofluoric, and sulfuric acids.

Basically, it's not somewhere you'd wanna go on vacation.

All that carbon dioxide confused scientists in the early 1970s,

because they didn't see an ozone layer on Venus.

UV light breaks molecules apart, and they knew that without ozone to block it, UV light

from the sun should've broken apart a lot of Venus's CO2, leaving behind much more

oxygen and carbon monoxide than they were seeing.

Then, groups led by environmental scientist

Michael McElroy figured out what was probably happening:

The same UV light that would break down CO2 would break down hydrochloric acid at the

same time, freeing up hydrogen atoms.

Then, those hydrogen atoms would act like ruthless matchmakers, ripping oxygen atoms

off of molecules so that they combined with carbon monoxide to make carbon dioxide again.

That's why they saw so much carbon dioxide in Venus's atmosphere, even though it wasn't

being protected by an ozone layer.

When UV radiation broke apart CO2, a small army of hydrogen atoms

would just put it back together again.

It took decades to prove that this was actually happening in the Venusian skies, along with

a similar process that involved chlorine instead of hydrogen.

But in the meantime, a pair of chemists named Mario Molina and Sherwood Rowland realized

that something similar was happening on Earth, too, which meant we had a major problem.

CFCs might be totally unreactive down here on the surface, but they realized that would

change once the molecules reached the upper atmosphere

and got bombarded by that powerful UV radiation.

The UV could break CFCs apart and leave chlorine atoms free to rip oxygen off of anything nearby,

just like hydrogen does on Venus when it's putting carbon dioxide back together.

So all those CFCs in the upper atmosphere would lead to a lot of chlorine stealing oxygen

atoms from ozone molecules, which meant that

there were fewer ozone molecules around to block UV light.

And a single chlorine atom could tear apart a hundred thousand ozone molecules before

permanently bonding to something.

So Molina and Rowland were saying that those supposedly unreactive CFCs were eating away

at the ozone layer that protects us from things like skin cancer, and protects the entire

world from widespread crop failures.

But everyone making CFCs wasn't just going to stop because a couple chemists said so.

Molina and Rowland were studying Venus, not Earth.

And besides, everyone knew that CFCs didn't react with anything.

That's what made them so great!

But soon, the evidence started piling up.

In 1985, scientists discovered a hole in the ozone layer above Antarctica

that was getting bigger every year.

Some people were still skeptical, though, until researchers found chlorine and fluorine

in the hole itself, and others found that the ozone layer was getting thinner

all over the world.

Today, there is no doubt about it: Molina and Rowland were right.

And in 1995, they won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for their discovery.

Since the eighties, international agreements have just about stopped CFC production around

the world, and corporations have been looking for safer alternatives.

So far, they haven't found many good ones, and the ones they have found

generally still aren't great for the environment.

But at least they're better than CFCs.

And in just the last couple of years, scientists have finally seen the hole over Antarctica

start to shrink, more than forty years after a technical mystery in the Venusian skies

accidentally saved the planet.

2015-2016 F150 Putco Smoked LED Third Brake Light Review & Install - Duration: 4:06.

Hey, everybody, I'm Justin with americanmuscle.com, and this is my quick review of the smoked

LED third brake light option from Putco, available for your 2015 and newer F-150.

In this video, I'm gonna talk about the design and construction of the Putco light itself,

what you can expect in regards to total light output, and I'm also going to give you a quick

walk-through of the install of the light here which really isn't that bad, guys.

Total plug and play job.

Expect a very simple one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, and we'll have more

on that later.

Now, the Putco smoked LED third brake light option is going to be for the truck owners

out there who is looking to make a big departure from the factory third brake light in both

appearance and functionality and will also be a key part in upgrading all of your truck's

exterior lighting to the more modern LED.

Now, this is going to be a very modern light in regards to overall style and outward appearance

as you can see but does pack some modern tech with those LEDs, of course.

And best part is, it's going to be completely plug and play.

Let's start with off with the construction of the Putco light.

And as you can see, again, guys, it took a very modern approach when it comes to designing

and styling this light.

You're looking at an ABS plastic housing here.

A row of high-intensity red LEDs are gonna make up the center portion and these guys

are going to be handling your braking duties.

Now, these LEDs are obviously gonna be much brighter than the factory incandescent lighting

in your factory third brake light.

And this is something you really want when you're talking about a third brake light,

right?

Because it's only going to increase your visibility, both day and night, and this is going to increase

your safety while on the road.

Flanking the brake light portion of the Putco light, you're going to find four individual

bright white LEDs.

And these guys are actually going to illuminate the bed and all of its cargo.

And again, are gonna do a great job.

And I think this is one of the biggest plusses when going with the Putco light in general.

The total light output is really just gonna blow you away.

From the brake lights to the bed and cargo lights, much better than the factory lighting

in general.

A portion of that can be attributed to the fact that Putco utilizes what they call a

deep LED set up with this particular light.

And basically all that means, guys, is they're gonna set the diode back into the housing

a little bit further, and that's gonna give you a little bit more light output thanks

to the reflectivity in addition to making for a very unique look.

And speaking of looks, this is Putco's smoked option, of course, here on the table.

But you can also grab this light in a clear or chrome option as well.

Both available, or all three available here at AM.

Whatever option you do decide to grab, guys, they're all gonna come equipped with Putco's

ion chrome coating which is actually a coating they apply to the interior lens here.

And again, just gonna help increase the total light output overall, thanks to the increased

reflectivity along with those deep LEDs.

Now, I do want to quickly come back to the smoked option here again with me on the table.

And honestly, guys, when I first saw this thing, I actually thought it was the clear

version.

It just doesn't resemble a smoked light to me.

Now, some of you guys might be okay with that but some of you guys might prefer the more

dark or aggressive smoked light.

And if that's what you're after, then you might wanna check out a different light.

As far as price, guys, well this is definitely gonna be one of the more premium third brake

light options available here at AM, landing you right in the mid-100 dollar price point.

Which is going to be, again, a little expensive for some of you guys out there.

But keep in mind you are getting probably one of the better built third brake light

options in the category along with Putco's one year warranty.

As far as the install again, guys, you're looking at a very straightforward job.

Total plug and play stuff here.

So first, go ahead and remove that factory third brake light using a screwdriver to remove

the two screws holding it in place.

Unplug that light and remove it from the truck.

Plug in the Putco light and then re-install in reverse order and that's pretty much it,

guys.

Again, a very soft one out of three wrenches on my difficulty meter.

And maybe 30 minutes from start to finish to get the light in place.

Wrapping this one up here, guys.

Ford did a great job of adding exterior LED lighting to the truck for the most part.

But they did leave a few key areas out, the third brake light being one of them.

By adding Putco's option here, you are getting the benefits of that modern LED lighting and

functionality, while adding a very modern and aggressive light at the same time.

So be sure to check out a Putco third brake light option for your truck right here at

americanmuscle.com.

2015-2016 F150 CGS Motorsports Stainless Cat-Back Exhaust 3.5L EcoBoost Sound Clip & Install - Duration: 4:41.

Hey, everybody.

I'm Justin with americanmuscle.com, and this is my detailed breakdown and install of the

CGS Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System available for your 2015 and newer 3.5 Liter

EcoBoost F150.

This quick review is gonna cover my thoughts on the sound you can expect when bolting up

the CGS to your EcoBoost-powered ride, what you're gonna be seeing as far as construction

materials, and then finally, we'll event talk through the install here with the system.

And right on the surface I'm gonna tell you Supercrew, Supercab F-150, this is a 100%

bolt-on job, no cutting, no permanent modification needed.

So let's call it one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, and I will have a

little bit more detail later on.

So the full stainless CGS system that we do have in this video should appeal to the truck

owners out there who really don't want to drop a huge sum of money for an aftermarket

cat-back but would still like to get a noticeable bumping sound while still maintaining a great

build in that full stainless steel material.

Now with that said, if that sounds like you, let's dive a little deeper into the system,

and sound would be a great place to start here with the CGS system so let's dive right

in.

And in my opinion guys, you heard the sound clips, I think for the price the CGS produces

a very decent tone overall.

Now to be completely honest here, the aluminized steel version and the stainless steel version

sound identical to my ears and that's not really a bad thing in my opinion.

You're looking at a middle of the road three out of five here on my one to five or one

to wake the neighbor scale, it's definitely a little louder than stock but it's not gonna

drive you crazy.

The tone is deep, it's not raspy at all, you pick up a little bit more turbo noise over

stock and that interior noise while noticeable, again, isn't gonna drive you crazy on long

trips.

With the sound aside, let's talk about how this system kind of comes to life here and

it all surrounds around the CGS high flow muffler.

It is a chamber designed single inlet, single outlet all going through the three-inch Mandrel

bent tubing exiting out the four-inch double wall slash cut tip.

I will say the tip in this kit is much nicer than the one that is included with the aluminized

steel version, but again, you're looking at a full stainless steel build throughout here

with this particular system, and as such it is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

And we have mentioned that this is an affordable option in the land of full stainless systems

and it is, it's just north of 400 bucks here for the full stainless option from CGS.

Your only other options on the site currently in that price point are the pipe systems and

also the XP series from MBRP.

But let's talk about the install as promised earlier in the video, and as I mentioned earlier

in this video here if you have a Supercrew or Supercab F-150 you're in for a very easy

day in the shop or garage.

One out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter, maybe an hour or two before you're

making some noise.

Again, this is a very simple bolt-on job, there's no cutting or permanent modification

needed, so if you have a basic set of hand tools and a little bit of mechanical expertise

you're gonna be able to knock this one out.

Now when it comes to time start wrenching, obviously that factory system will need to

be removed first before you can install the CGS system here.

So get that out of the way using your basic socket set, and an extra set of hands would

definitely be helpful here as that factory system can be a little big and a little cumbersome.

With that out of the way, you can start hanging the new CGS system.

I would recommend starting from front to back.

Get the entire system on the truck, and then save your final tighten up for the very end,

and you should be good to go.

While the CGS brand or name might not be as big or recognizable as some of the other options

in the category, I was very impressed with not only the sound but also the build and

materials given the very affordable price.

So that's my review of the CGS Full Stainless Cat-Back for your EcoBoost F-150, which you

2015-2016 F150 Putco Liquid Pedal Covers Review & Install - Duration: 3:54.

Hey everybody I'm Justin with

americanmuscle.com and this is my quick

review of the putco liquid pedal covers

available for your 2015 and up f-150 now

in this video i'm going to walk you

through what you can expect with the

putco pedal covers as far as basic

construction what they're going to do to

your interior styling how they're going

to affect your budget and finally what

it takes to get them installed now

speaking of the installation guys you

will need to bust out the drill for this

one so for that we're going to call a

soft two out of three wrenches on the

difficulty meter with a more complete

walkthrough later on the putco pedal

cover set here going to be for the f-150

owners out there looking to add a little

something extra to the interior more

specifically the pedal area here by

going with a custom-made set from an

industry leader like putco now this is

obviously going to be more of a styling

or appearance mod as opposed to a

functional mod but the pedal covers from

putco will add a little bit of function

thanks to the included rubber plugs here

that are going to add some additional

traction of your factory pedal covers

now typically personally I'm a

less-is-more guy when it does come to

the interior modifications with the

newer trucks

I really think Ford did a great job it

really didn't leave a whole lot of room

for improvement with one exception the

pedal area now I think adding an

aftermarket set of pedals or pedal

covers they're really going to make a

big difference overall considering it's

such a small mod and in true putco form

the pedal covers are going to be built

very well you're going to be looking at

quarter inch high quality cnc billet

aluminum here for the basic construction

the actual face of the pedal covers

themselves have been cnc'd as well

providing a little bit more traction

whereas the included rubber plugs are

really going to help you out with the

traction there and also add a little bit

more to the styling now paco does

include covers for your gas pedal here

your brake pedal and then finally your

parking brake pedal as well some of you

guys with the electronic e-brake this

pedal might be useless to you but

nevertheless it is in there now I do

have one small nitpick with this pedal

step from Paco and I said they don't

include a pedal cover for the dead pedal

and to me that just leaves a slightly

unfinished or incomplete look and

honestly it just loses a few points

mythili there especially when you factor

in the price now you are going to be

dropping right around 100 bucks for this

pedal kit from putco which isn't

terrible considering the great materials

and of course that custom fit

but again for that money I personally

would have enjoyed seeing a dead pedal

included as for the install well like I

mentioned earlier you are going to need

to bust out the drill for this one but

Paco does throw in a brand new drill bit

for you so that's a nice little touch in

addition to the drill you're just

looking at a basic adjustable wrench and

maybe some hand or dish soap which will

help making push these little rubber nub

into the pedal slightly easier again

because you have to drill I'm going to

bump this one up to a soft two out of

three wrenches there's really not a

whole lot of steps involved but overall

probably about an hour from start to

finish to get everything wrapped up your

first step is to remove the factory

rubber pedal covers on the factory

pedals once those are out of the way

grab a putco pedal cover whatever one

that doesn't matter and hold it up to

your existing pedal marking the four

holes on the outside four corners there

with a pen or pencil once everything's

all mark simply grab your drill and that

included drill bit and carefully drill

out the four holes you already marked

with the holes drilled go ahead and grab

your putco pedal cover and install the

rubber nubs included with the kit again

the soap might help make life a little

easier here with that all wrapped up

simply grab your putco pedal cover grab

your included hardware and then install

the pedal cover one pedal at a time of

course and that pretty much wraps up

your install in my opinion pedal covers

really are a solid choice when you're

looking to upgrade the appearance of

your interior because they really do

make a large visual improvement without

really going over the top now the putco

pedal covers aren't going to be the most

affordable option out there but you are

getting a quality build and you are

getting a perfect fit so that's my

review of the putco liquid pedal covers

which you can find right here at

americanmuscle.com

2009-2014 F150 Raxiom LED Front Turn Signal Bulb Kit Review & Install - Duration: 2:43.

Hey, I'm Alex from americanmuscle.com with my quick review of the Raxiom LED Front Turn

Signals, fitting the 2009 through 2014 F-150.

So in this video, I'm gonna give a quick overview of who these might appeal to or what you should

expect to be spending, and then last but not least we're gonna hit the installation, but

right off the bat I'm giving these a very easy one out of three wrenches in the difficulty

meter.

You should have this pair on your truck in about 30 to 45 minutes tops.

So if you're the F-150 owner that's either towards the end of your build or if you're

just looking for one of your first modifications without spending an arm and a leg, I would

definitely suggest checking out this kit as it's an incredibly easy to install modification

that's going to make a world of difference to the front end of your truck.

So with these LED bulbs are not only going to be giving your F-150 a very nice modern

makeover, but you're gonna be making it look that much more aggressive, as well as making

yourself and your truck that much more visible on the streets.

On top of that these LED bulbs are going to run that much cooler, blast that much longer

in comparison to your standard incandescent bulb, and then again, look that much better.

So taking a quick look at the construction here, we're gonna see that these are gonna

feature a very tough LED chip, as well as featuring a very sturdy body.

And now, one thing that I can't stress enough is that is if you're looking for LEDs out

there I would definitely shy away from some of the lesser costing ones as they're gonna

be very inferior.

I can't tell you how many times enough, either on my personal truck or even my car, that

I bought something that's gonna be a very low dollar amount, and then as soon as I pulled

them out of the package they essentially broke in my hands.

That's not something you're gonna have to worry about with these as I have them on my

own truck and they are definitely very sturdy.

So in terms of the pricing, you should expect to be spending around 40 bucks for the set,

which, in my opinion, is definitely a bargain for what you're gonna be getting.

Again, you're gonna be making the front end of your truck look that much more modern and

bring it up to current-day standards as well as making your truck that much more visible

in poor lighting conditions.

So again the insulation alone is going to be a massive selling point for me as this

really is not gonna require too much effort at all just to get these onto your truck.

Some of the tools you're going to need here is essentially just gonna be a quarter-inch

ratchet as well as a 10-millimeter socket.

And then once you have that, it's easy as popping the hood, pulling three bolts, moving

out your headlights, swapping the bulb, and you're good to go.

It does not get any easier than that.

Well, great.

So just to wrap things up here I definitely like this option for the F-150 not only based

on the fact that I've got a few ratcheting parts myself, but I actually do have these

on my own truck.

Now, again, for the ease of installation just like we checked out, for the very aggressive

price as well as bringing the front end of your truck up to modern standards with LED

lighting, I would definitely suggest this for any '09 through '14 F-150 owner.

All right, so that's my review for the Raxiom Front LED Turn Signals bulbs, fitting your

2009 through 2014 F-150, available right here at AmericanMuscle.com.
