Mercedes-AMG Road Trip: from London to Affalterbach | #MBFanFilm - Duration: 33:20.

It's maxed out!

Küüübleeer!

Welcome to my humble abode. My name is Raz.

I'm @rokenr from Instagram

and sometimes known by some of you as "Mister AMG".

This is another Instagramer

who focuses on AMG as well.

His name is Tristan.

He's @amg_tdso and we're both part of the

YouTube channel known as RemoveBeforeRace.

And basically we are AMG addicts.

This year we are traveling all the way up to Affalterbach

in Germany and this trip is going to be really exciting.

Because in convoy

we are going to be taking not one

but two special editions

specifically made for the 50 years of AMG!

Now we wished they were the hypercar "Project One"

but they're not. But they're the next best thing.

And we're going to show you that car right now!

So that car is...

the AMG GT C Edition 50 coupé

and it's going to be driven by Tristan

Tristan, we've made some changes on this for this trip, haven't we?

We have indeed. We've made a few changes.

I myself am going to be the lucky owner

of an Edition 50 in the next couple of weeks.

Well, yours has arrived in fact! – It has arrived.

It arrived yesterday.

Not in time for this trip

but.. you know, I'm very lucky to be able to drive this one.

There are only 25 of these coming to the UK.

My good friend Raz has one, myself...

and our good friend David has another.

We've made a couple of "homage additions"

to this car.

You notice the special "50 years of AMG" stripe here,

which has been appearing

a lot this year on AMG cars around the range.

There's a little homage inside

with a slight change in seatbelt colour here

which adds a little pop to the inside, we think.

And we've also done a similar 50 year stripe across the wing mirrors.

We didn't want to change too much

and this was all done by the

UK performance studio called ROK Studio.

But we wanted it just to look a little bit different for our trip.

We were also very kindly given an E 63 S wagon,

which in my opinion is the ultimate roadtrip car

that you could get in terms of an AMG form.

So that is this car and it's very kindly been lent to us

by Mercedes-Benz UK.

And we've also again added the "Edition One" stripes on the side

a bit of livery in terms of our own user names and whatnot.

But this is all for the #AMGroadtrip2017.

And you're probably wondering why

I've got an AMG showroom in my house.

And the reason for that is: I basically can't

stop buying them. Which is not a bad thing.

This is my daily drive, which is

the Mercedes-AMG E 63 S 4MATIC+.

This is the Edition One

as you can see from the magno night black.

Incredible! It's in the 600+ horsepower club.

What else have we got? We've got some more interesting things here.

This is Tristan's "Semi-AMG" as I like to call it. It's actually a BRABUS smart.

The fully tuned version. It's a cool car!

It's a cool car and it's going to get cooler soon

so keep an eye on his Instagram.

And furthermore... what else do we have?

Ah, my favorite...

This is the king of the hill as far as I'm concerned.

This is the Beast of the Green Hell itself –

the AMG GT R.

And although I called the E 63 my daily,

genuinely I tend to use this a lot more.

Because as Tobias Moers said when he unveiled the car:

the car has got the daily usability of a normal AMG GT

but it's got all that GT3 track performance as well.

As long as they keep making them,

I'm going to keep buying them!

This one. This one is a special little car.

This is for my little son

and he doesn't say this is his car.

He will refer to this as Daddy's car and...

THAT is his car!

And it's best if I don't argue with him on that point.

There's a little trick for you guys.

If you're ever planning your own road trip into Europe.

Eurotunnel is notorious for getting your wheels damaged.

But what we've done is: if you book with either

a roof box or like a bicycle rack

you get put into the larger cabin.

So if you look here

we've got huge amounts of space

between the kerb and the wheel

which means that there's no hassle, there's no tension

and if you come in enough cars, you get the whole carriage to yourself as well.

Which is fantastic!

How many times did you fuel the car at all?

Since the start of the journey? Twice.

Not bad at all.

So averaging about 21 miles to the gallon

according to the Mercedes me app.

I haven't really let it go below sort of half a tank,

a quarter of a tank,

while it's running in.

It was built on my daughter's birthday,

on the 5th of September,

which is really special.

It really means a lot to us in the family

and my daughter absolutely adores it.

She's eight and refers to as "Daddy's noisy car".

About a year ago I saw a few

pictures of this special edition

and they said that there was only going to be

500 worldwide of the coupés and 500 worldwide of the roadsters.

And we didn't know how many would come to the UK.

Maybe around June time I said: am I getting one?

And they said: Yes, of course you're getting one. I was like: Oh my goodness!

I didn't know! So then I started to get very excited

and it arrived in the UK two days ago.

It's ready for me when I get back to the UK

but not in time for this trip.

I started as an apprentice technician

straight from school at 16

at my local Mercedes-Benz dealer in England.

And I did my training there for ten years as a technician

working on the cars.

I remember it was 1989 and the 129 SL had just been launched.

My love for Mercedes has been since I was a young child growing up in Germany.

I think it goes all the way back to my grandfather.

He was a man who was really into his cars and his ultimate car was

always the Mercedes-Benz. But he could never quite afford one.

But even in his day and age when he was a younger man

he would factory-order cars and come to Germany to collect them. I think it was Opel that

he would buy. That's all he could afford. But that was the closest thing to him

getting that experience of coming down to Stuttgart or Germany and picking up a car.

When my father was older and earning more, this was already ingrained

in him and he already had a love for Mercedes-Benz. Every year he would buy my

grandfather a new C-Class. And my grandfather just loved it. He would come

outside and he was famous for getting one cloth and cleaning the whole car.

Just spending half an hour to an hour just cleaning the car.

Just watching that passion between the two of them that it was

inevitably gonna fall into me.

I would confess I've not always been a Mercedes-AMG lover.

I didn't know much about them until maybe about 10 years ago.

And the first thing that struck me about AMG particularly

is the emotion that they managed to get into their cars

that I never found in any other type of car.

My father was in the British military and we were based

in Osnabrück in Northern Germany. I grew up there and went to school there.

My dad used to take me to the dealership at the weekend

and I used to go and have a look at the car and take all the brochures.

It was always a running joke at school:

all my friends have pictures of girls on their walls and I had pictures

of Mercedes-Benz on my walls.

My wife used to work for Mercedes-Benz. That's how we met.

We met through Mercedes-Benz. She worked for the dealer in Jersey

and I worked for a Mercedes-Benz dealer in the UK.

And we used to swap cars between each other,

so we have Mercedes-Benz to thank for us meeting.

And you know, my daughter

has a real love for "Cedes", as she calls them.

Before she was born, I wanted to

call her Mercedes for her middle name. And my wife said: not really.

So we called her Grace, which is the Spanish translation for Mercedes.

Is it?

Mercedes in Spanish means grace, so my daughter's middle name is Grace.

So I've still got that little link to Mercedes with my daughter.

I'm from London. I have an American mother, a French father,

and I work in financial services.

I'm a chief executive officer and I have a love of cars.

The first AMG I owned was a C 63 Coupé

507 edition.

That was my first AMG.

And I really loved that car. I actually regret selling it I should have kept that one.

In terms of Mercedes-Benz, I think my first car was a A 140

which used to have the clutchless manual. Do your emember the semi automatics?

Actually my mom has such a car now. It's a 169 series, the second A-Class, right?

Yes, that was the first one. And I went on from that to a C 180 Coupé.

And then my first big purchase was a CLS 320. When they first came out – the newer CDIs.

And that was a beautiful car. It was the first four-door coupé in the world.

And I was always into my Mercedes-Benz diesels. But then my first foray into AMG was

selling the CLS and buying a SLK 55 compressor. And this was that design

which had the SLR type nose.

And I fell in love with that car

and ever since it's been it's been AMG all the way.

My first one was an SL 55 with the 5.5 compressor.

And then after that I had an SL 63. And I had two 63s:

an obsidian black and a silver.

And then after that I had the CLS 63 Coupé

and my wife had a C 63 Estate. The first one in the 204 model.

Quite a few

You just get addicted to the whole thing, the whole experience.

It's very very emotional!

So really from the SLK onwards I just climbed up into various different AMGs

I then went into the first ever C 63: the W204.

Had a number of those and

as we all know: they are pretty much the purest form of AMG of that time.

Naturally aspirated motor. Naturally aspirated 6.2 liter. Absolutely phenomenal car and again

it just built up that addiction.

And then the SLS came out and, honestly

I was a very young man at the time, this was back in 2010.

And I just went for it. I ordered one.

I got it in "AMG Le Mans red"

with the black and porcelain interior.

It was very much the launch spec.

And what a car that was!

Just incredible! With the gullwing doors, the 6.3 liter naturally aspirated engine.

Amazing! I sold that eventually

and I went into another one, which was "alubeam silver".

Do you remember the liquid metal finish cars? - Yes!

Probably my favorite spec'd car ever. It was that color,

until you see it in person... I think they use it, if I'm not wrong, in some of the concept cars.

In every concept car I think, yes.

Well, I wish it was available a bit more readily.

It is such a fantastic color. It shows off the curves

in a way that I don't think any other color, metallic or magno, can.

I had a C 63 S Edition 1 Coupé

and I loved that car.

It was my daily car really.

And I bought that after the 507

but when the opportunity came up for the Edition 50,

I knew it wasn't really a car I wanted to drive every day.

Because with work and things like this

it would stay in the car park for long parts of the day.

I wanted something fun and a little bit quirky to sit alongside the Edition 50.

I bought a smart forfour BRABUS

which is really fun actually.

That is gonna be kind of my daily runaround car

and then for the weekends and for fun I get to play with the Edition 50.

I think the nice thing for me, you know, with my love of AMG

and having owned so many,

the opportunity to own this special car

"50 year anniversary" car and a GT

you know, which is AMG's own product.

They developed this car from the ground up.

It's not a Mercedes-Benz that's been re-engineered

and rebadged as an AMG.

This is only an AMG!

And that's really special for me

and that's what means so much.

One of the amazing things about this trip for me is

obviously I have my own Edition 50, which has now arrived

but I'm driving an almost identical car; well, it is an identical car

and I'm having this long test drive to really familiarize myself

and get to know the car.

I'm convoying or following another Edition 50

belonging to David, which gives me the perspective of being able to see my car in motion.

It's a very unique perspective

for a soon-to-be owner of a car to be able to see all of this

and it's really exciting.

Also the car is so rare, you will never otherwise see this.

Exactly!

As I said before: only 500 for the world, only 25 in the UK.

So it's not a car you're going to see very much. And here I am with with two of them.

It's a lot of fun.

I'm very excited to drive our GT C. which is just finished running in.

Yes.

It's done the thousand miles,

while you guys were in the car in fact.

Yes, Tristan already floored it a little bit.

Yeah?

You're not smiling at all! How's that?

It's not my car!

I have to concentrate!

If I'm accelerating, I will build up gently

and just keep it at a comfortable level for the car

while the engine is just bedding in.

And then after a thousand miles I'll tend to use the

Sport or Sport+ modes

and do a little bit more sort of a harder acceleration.

1500 kilometers. According to this, this is now run in.

We have completed the running in instructions.

Ah, they are there.

I didn't know that it has these instructions on the window.

Yes, it has the instructions.

Strangely the GT C also needs a differential oil change

at 1875 miles, which the other GTs don't.

So it seems to be unique to the GT C.

Maybe I put into Sport+.

Now!

Yes, this is what it's about.

We better not tell Raz I did that!

I did about 500 miles in the UK,

just its first few miles.

And just hearing the sound and the sound change...

It was quite quiet when we first picked it up.

Then the sound began to build over time,

same with the throttle response.

Some people don't really value the art of running in as much

but it does make a really big difference for the car.

Well, these parts have to be running in first.

All the alloys have to get into perfect harmony

That's why there is a running-in phase

so that everything conforms.

For a piston - if you really want to get in-depth - this means the following:

Pistons have oil scraper rings and compression rings

which are coated. The bore is coated, too.

Therefore the piston must not run at 5,000 or 6,000 rpm

inside the crankcase right from the beginning.

Instead it should be gently running in.

There's one thing that all three of us wanted:

it was a Kübler engine! And we said:

is there anything we can do to get a Kübler engine?

And they said: you can't! It's just the way they are.

You know, you can't guarantee.

You can't pick who does your engine for you.

The engine is being assembled at our manufacture

gets the signature plaque of its builder

but from that point on we don't know much about its whereabouts.

The engine is being sent to the assembly plant

and installed into the car.

For the ordinary employee it is virtually impossible to know

in which car exactly it ended up.

We personally don't get to see that.

The best moments - especially for me

as an engine builder - are those

when a customer took a picture of that engine and gets in touch

and you get to see your own signature plaque.

That's really a motivation

to always give your very best.

It makes you proud!

Mike is an absolute legend, as we all know.

But he's a really just a warm, lovely person as well

He's one of the only guys that makes the engines for the

Pagani supercars or hypercars, as they really are.

In my case it was really skyrocketing.

I started off from scratch like everyone else on Instagram

and meanwhile I have 195,000 followers.

Over 3,000 customers are following me.

There are people in their mid-sixties like my father,

who asked their son for help signing up with Instagram

just to get in touch with me

and to thank me for having built their engine

and that's just plain cool!

As a joke, we all took a photo of the engine plaque

from Mike Kübler and we put them on the engines and said "Küüübleeer"

I don't know if G. De Giuseppe would be very happy

but Mike tells me he's a very good engineer, so I'm alright.

Hopefully I'll get to meet him on Tuesday.

Because I met all my engine builders.

My C 63 was Dominic Stark

and I met him last year.

So I become friends with him now, which is really great

because I think it's nice for the engine builders.

They don't see what car their engine goes into.

So I think it's nice for them to see where their engine has ended up

and I think, again, that's where social media is fantastic.

Some of the people on Instagram, you know,

I've never met them! But we've been talking

for years and so they are friends.

We get to meet them and spend time

and talk about life and cars.

That's the most important thing.

On all these trips,

as soon as we cross the border into Germany

my heart is like "yes, I'm back home almost"

It does feel like home!

Now enjoy!

This is the time, isn't it?

Be our guest!

I'm not used to this, you see?

It feels so unnatural to me.

What I find amazing, and you guys might be used to, is

how unfazed the car is

It's almost like I'm still driving at,

you know, 130 kilometers an hour.

And it helps that your roads are so good as well.

Well, it's also

at the end of the day it's also a matter of common sense for the drivers.

It's based on the trust in Germany, yet on the trust,

that people know what they are doing.

I've seen a big change in driving style.

Whenever I come to Europe,

going through France into Germany,

everybody knows how to use the motorways correctly.

Everybody sticks in the right lane. When it's time to overtake,

that's the only time they'll come into the faster lane,

which is how it should be. And it's not necessarily the case in all of the world.

We struggle with that quite a lot in the UK, where people are just in the wrong lanes.

But there is, generally speaking, quite a good discipline that I've seen

in Europe. That trust element, it makes sense!

The rate of accident speaks for itself.

Our rates in the UK are much higher

and yet we drive a maximum of 70 miles per hour

and even that is in the major motorways to be honest.

I don't think one is directly correlating with the other one.

Yes!

This is crazy!

The car just doesn't care. It's so easy for it.

Incredible!

It's like you said though: you have to be awake!

And you are awake, you are aware

and that's why there's less chance of making mistakes.

It stops at 261.

It's maxed out!

It's like coming home.

I've only been here twice

but every time I come back

to Affalterbach it's like being

right back at home.

It's like, I know the air, I know the surroundings.

You feel like just kissing the ground.

It's amazing! I love it! I love coming here.

...and it's signed! Wow! Look at that!

This kind of brand loyalty is probably unique.

Not just in Germany, but way beyond.

This meet-up has been organized privately by us

I guess we'll have a blast today!

The event itself exists in its fifth year now

it started off with just the three of us.

That is Beatrice from Hamburg

and Ahmed from Egypt.

My name is Beatrice.

I'm known on Instagram as „tt4561",

which relates to this license plate.

It all began when I ordered my car.

This one!

It was in July and I had in mind

to attend one of these tours AMG is offering.

In this case the Emotion Tour

to test-drive some more cars.

So I booked it.

I came here with the old A-Class

and bashfully parked somewhere down the road

because driving up here without an AMG felt inappropriate.

A couple of months later she posted pictures of so many AMGs

like the ones that we have around us

So I asked: what is this? Where does this happen?

And she said there's an event that happens every year.

They announce the dates.

It happens like four times a year

and if you'd be interested I'll let you know.

And that's what happened. And I came the first time.

She came to pick me up from the airport

and she told me: Michael Kübler is coming.

And I figured out who Michael Kübler was

because a couple of friends of mine had G-Wagons

with engines made by Kübler.

Right now we have an AMG GT3 race engine here.

The engine is based on the SLS

but it's modified for the new AMG GT3 race car

so we have a higher compression, different pistons, a different crankshaft

different cylinder heads, con-rod. So it's highly modified for the new race car.

The output could be around about over 700 horsepower

for a naturally aspirated that is really much.

But in case of the GT3 rules we are air-restricted.

There's a balance of performance

and the balance of performance is taking the cars on the same level.

We have different brands with different types of cars, different types of engines.

For us it's not not really a bad thing

because we can run a higher revision time.

Cleaning, changing parts,

and rebuilding it.

That is after 20,500 race kilometers, which is really much!

When we talk about the others: round about 5,000 race kilometers is

when they have to make a revision.

The build time for a GT3 engine is round about three days.

One and a half days only to make measurements.

I have to collect all the data: the compression

and such and I have to show it

on every engine for the regulation.

You want to come closer?

Here you see the pistons, this is a chain

so the engine is running and turning.

Here you have the pistons on the crankshaft and the pistons go up and down.

The pistons are these.

We're here in front of a film icon

This is the Autobot Drift

from the movie: Transformers - The Last Knight.

If you're wondering what he looked like on film

when transformed: that's him!

Really cool little toy!

So this is actually a pre-production AMG GT R.

Before the customer cars and the press cars were developed,

this car was given to the film makers and they were allowed

to do the livery and turn it into the Autobot Drift.

There are some things that are different on it compared to the production car.

Nothing too significant.

Stuff like the Mercedes-Benz badge being the old-style one

as opposed to the black badges.

It's really cool and it's great to see

this black and red theme alongside

our Drogon, who's also got a black and red theme going on

in terms of the #AMG50years.

So the two are really matching up quite well.

And on this side we have...

When the AMG GT facelift was announced,

these two cars specifically were shown, too,

for the press and for the public.

This is the actual solarbeam yellow AMG GT S,

shown in the press shots

alongside @jsyamg's Edition 50.

This has been a pretty cool honor for us,

to sit here on the hill next to the Mercedes-Benz Museum

and to show you a film icon

alongside our very special Edition 50s.

I'll tell you what: there's nothing more amazing than bringing something like the

Edition 50, a car that is to celebrate 50 years of AMG, and to bring it back to

the places that are most synonymous with AMG, Affalterbach earlier today, now the

Mercedes-Benz Museum, which is an absolute monument to Mercedes-Benz.

There can't be anything better, what do you think, Dave?

Absolutely! Couldn't agree more.

I think, to finish the day off here at the Museum

at the steps of the original factory in Untertürkheim

where it all started, is an absolute honor.

Absolute honor! And I couldn't have had a better day.

Fantastic! Good German food. - It's amazing.

Enjoy your meal, gentlemen! - Thank you!

Analog Color TV Wrap-Up--Some extra info - Duration: 12:11.

Here we go.

More stuff about the beginnings of color TV.

We're continuing from the last video so click up above if you got here somehow without

seeing those or find the link down in the description.

I'm back in a long sleeve shirt cause I'm about to go to work, so let's get cracking.

NTSC often received the nickname "Never The Same Color" or similar due to its reliance

on the phase offset alone to determine hue.

Unless the television set was dead on the money with the way it handled the color burst,

it would be very likely that it decoded the chroma data slightly out of phase and the

color would be messed up.

The tint control on a television would allow for manually shifting the reference point

from the color burst to correct for errors, with incorrect skin tone usually being how

one identified a problem.

After vacuum tube circuitry was replaced with transistorized equivalents, most of these

problems went away, and automatic tint control eventually became standard on television sets.

By the mid 1970's, broadcast equipment had progressed to the point that the color burst

was always transmitted with the exactly correct phase, pretty much removing the need for tint

control altogether.

PAL, the standard in most of Europe, reversed the phase of the color encoding on each alternate

scan line, hence its name Phase Alternating Line.

This made it such that a tint control was not needed as the television would automatically

find the correct phase offset through averaging the alternate lines, and thus PAL was generally

deemed superior.

Europe received color television more than a decade after the US, in part because of

the more challenging geography of Europe.

The NTSC system would drift color badly if transmission conditions weren't more or

less ideal.

So Europe waited patiently for a better system, which PAL most certainly is.

Telefunken in Germany patented PAL, the work of Walter Bruch, in 1962.

The first broadcasts of this new system occurred in 1967 on BBC 2 in the UK.

Apparently this was of the Wimbledon Championships and let me just say that as an American, my

reaction to learning this fact was "Of course it was Wimbledon".

ON THAT NOTE, I was rather annoyed by this sort of comment.

And I'll tell you why.

Just pause for a minute as ask yourself, was NTSC a choice?

How could it have been a mistake?

It was the first broadcast black-and-white compatible color television transmission scheme

on the planet.

PAL is virtually identical to NTSC with the exception of the alternating phase.

Of course it would be better, it was developed later, specifically to address NTSC's weaknesses.

We were stuck with it in the States because it was already there, and we weren't about

to pull the plug on an existing standard.

That's the whole reason we spent so much time making color TV compatible with black

and white sets.

I think many people appreciate PAL's much higher image resolution of 625 lines verses

525 in the US, but that extra resolution came at the expense of a reduced frame rate.

And speaking of framerates,

One commenter on the last video was singing the praises of PAL because, with a framerate

of 25 FPS, movies running at 24 frames per second just need to be sped up by 4% to be

converted to a PAL broadcast.

I'm sorry, but I completely disagree with that being "better".

I don't want to just speed up the film!

We used Three-Two pull down, which sort of blended frames together by advancing the film

frame between television fields.

In effect some film frames were shown over two fields, and some three.

Most people, in fact I'd say virtually all people, can't see this, since the fields

aren't drawn together.

And since it leaves the runtime and audio as they should be within .1%, I'd much rather

do that!

And speaking of speaking of framerates, lets discuss the 29.97 frames per second nonsense

brought to you by NTSC.

Matt Parker of Standup Maths made a video about this very thing, which I shall link

to now.

Simply put, the carrier frequency of the audio signal could interfere with the chrominance

carrier and produce a visible dot pattern on the screen.

To keep this from happening, the audio carrier frequency needed to be an integer multiple

of the line rate.

Which it wasn't.

So, something had to give.

You couldn't just change the audio carrier, though, cause that would mess up existing

TVs.

But you could change the line rate, or frequency.

By reducing the line frequency from 15,750 Hz to 15,734 Hz the audio carrier was now

exactly 286 times the frequency of the line rate, rather than some nasty number.

This would minimize interference and prevent the dot pattern from occurring, and existing

television sets wouldn't be bothered by the change as their vertical hold circuitry

was designed to compensate for slop in the vertical retrace frequency.

Of course, lowering the linerate lowered the frame rate, as it's still 525 lines per

frame, so the frame rate was lowered to 29.97 frames per second entirely as a side-effect

of compatible color.

In PAL countries, this wasn't ever an issue.

It turns out backward compatibility wasn't ever on anyone's mind in europe, or at least

those disinterested in it won out.

For example, in the UK, BBC2 started black and white 625 line broadcasts in 1964, and

owners of older 405 line televisions just wouldn't get to see it.

This was about 10 years after NTSC had started broadcasting.

And PAL was based on the 625 line standard, and likely due to the known framerate debacle,

the audio carrier in this standard was specified to be an integer multiple of the linerate,

15,625 hertz.

Thus the frame rate could stay an even 25 frames per second once color broadcasts began

without the audio carrier affecting the image.

In the previous video, I said that because the chrominance carrier is suppressed during

transmission, most of the interference between chrominance and luminance is eliminated.

But not all of it is.

Black and white televisions made after the changeover to color were designed to filter

out this interference, but earlier televisions or cheaper ones without the filter circuit

would display a pattern of dots in highly colored areas of the screen.

The dots were a visible manifestation of the chrominance carrier's interference.

Now, I'm going to make a speculative statement because I couldn't find anything to confirm

or deny this after hours of poking about online, so here goes.

Because the luminance signal is used in calculating I and Q, it seems to me that the luminance

signal itself must be manipulated at precise times to actually create changes in the calculated

I and Q values, otherwise it would seem their calculated output would always be the same

for a given brightness.

I believe that the chroma dots are the visual manifestations of this happening.

I have read that the dots are most visible in highly colored areas, which makes sense

as the amplitude of the chroma carrier dictates the saturation of a color, and the phase difference

the hue.

It therefore sounds to me like the Y carrier is constantly being altered along with color

information, and that alteration appears as dots.

If that's not at all why the dots appear please comment below.

ANYWAY, the dots would turn out to be useful in the 21st century.

Many older television programs were recorded onto videotape masters that were re-used to

lower production costs.

With these master tapes lost, the only copy of the TV shows that remained were on film,

transferred via telecine.

In many if not most cases, this film was black and white.

This had led to many of these early color television shows only being preserved in black

and white.

But some TV studios used a telecine to capture the output from a black and white monitor

that didn't filter out the chroma dots.

Using modern software, these dots have been used to reconstruct the color.

By carefully examining the magnitude and position of these dots, the color information can be

extracted.

This wasn't an easy task, mind you, particularly with the extra geometry component added by

the curved glass screens of the monitors, but it's still an amazing thing.

I'll link to some more info down below if you'd like to learn more.

Now let's talk a bit more about Guillermo Gonzalez Camarena.

Two videos ago I briefly talked about him and his clever but ultimately inadequate color

wheel adapter for black and white televisions.

He's also known for inventing a CRT with two electron guns rather than three.

This would supposedly make color televisions cheaper to produce.

However, there are two glaring problems with attributing him to "inventing" that.

First, if there were an individual who were to have experimented in two color TV long

before Gonzalez Camarena, who would you guess that to be?

Anyone?

Anyone?

I'll give you a hint, he's Scottish!

That's right, it's JOHN LOGIE BAIRD.

He's a persistent little bugger, isn't he?

Now I'm starting to see why people feel so strongly about his contributions to television.

So first, two-color "color" can be achieved using complementary colors.

In fact, the first Technicolor films were done with a red and green film strip all the

way back in 1916.

Baird used a really wonky looking picture tube called a Telechrome which instead used

cyan and red-orange phosphors.

These two colors can produce a realistic skin tone and a limited range of other colors.

He came upon the concept for the telechrome in 1942 and demonstrated it in 1944.

Gonzalez Camarena's idea is dated to 1963, with one source saying 1962.

Links are below.

But a far more damning issue against Gonzales Camarena is the fact the the 1953 NTSC standard

includes support for two color receivers!

That's right, that whole I and Q business?

It turns out, I on its own is a two color gamut.

A television could be built with cyan and red-orange phosphors and demodulate only the

I signal, and you would get a functional two color TV.

This may also help to explain why I is given three times the bandwidth of Q.

If it were meant to be able to produce a reasonable color image on its own, it would make sense

to prioritize bandwidth to I over Q.

But the fact of the matter is, two color "color" is never as good as three color.

Skin tone might look right, but not much else will.

Thus, since you'd need almost the same amount of manufacturing complexity to produce a two

color CRT as a three color--still need a shadow mask and phosphor grid, you're really just

losing one electron gun--it was never deemed to be worth the significantly worse color

fidelity in exchange for a few pennies saved.

Many people correctly commented in previous videos that the color wheel from the CBS system

survived in single chip DLP projectors and televisions.

But you might not have known that for a brief time in the 1950s, you could purchase a kit,

called the Col-R-Tel, to convert your existing black and white TV into color.

By performing a few wiring modifications, you could add a device which would extract

the color data from an NTSC broadcast, alter the CRT's output to a sequential field system,

and use a color wheel to reproduce the color sequentially.

Gonzalez Camerena's work would actually be a thing after all.

There's a great link down below, along with many many others, if you'd like to learn

more.

And for my last tid-bit, a brief word on shadow masks, aperture grilles, and Trinitron.

I'm still planning on making a separate video showcasing Trinitron, but some people

have correctly pointed out that the CRT set I've been using for demonstrations doesn't

have the same type of shadow mask that CRTs of the time did.

I do have a device which has the original type CRT, but it doesn't really fit well

into this discussion.

Well, here, I'll show you.

♫ Macintosh Startup Chime ♫

Yep. That's it.

Doesn't really fit into the video, now does it?

Most CRT computer monitors--if not all that aren't Trinitron--use a design similar to

what you'd find on the earlier color sets.

These CRTs don't have the individual triads like you see here, instead it's just a repeating

pattern of red, green, and blue circles.

Because of the high image resolution needed in a computer monitor, a very fine dot pitch,

the term used to describe how many dots appear over a given length, was required.

The CRT from the GE set uses a more modern phosphor and shadow mask design which increases

the phosphor-to-mask ratio, but at the expense of a coarser dot pitch.

This design was used in televisions to better compete with Trinitron displays.

But again, we'll talk more about that later.

Analog Color TV Wrap-Up--Some extra info - Duration: 12:11.

Here we go.

More stuff about the beginnings of color TV.

We're continuing from the last video so click up above if you got here somehow without

seeing those or find the link down in the description.

I'm back in a long sleeve shirt cause I'm about to go to work, so let's get cracking.

NTSC often received the nickname "Never The Same Color" or similar due to its reliance

on the phase offset alone to determine hue.

Unless the television set was dead on the money with the way it handled the color burst,

it would be very likely that it decoded the chroma data slightly out of phase and the

color would be messed up.

The tint control on a television would allow for manually shifting the reference point

from the color burst to correct for errors, with incorrect skin tone usually being how

one identified a problem.

After vacuum tube circuitry was replaced with transistorized equivalents, most of these

problems went away, and automatic tint control eventually became standard on television sets.

was always transmitted with the exactly correct phase, pretty much removing the need for tint

control altogether.

This made it such that a tint control was not needed as the television would automatically

find the correct phase offset through averaging the alternate lines, and thus PAL was generally

deemed superior.

the more challenging geography of Europe.

less ideal.

Effective Communication: How To Communicate Better - Duration: 13:03.

Do you constantly find yourself at odds with other people in your world? Are you

the one that says, "Man, I don't think anyone ever gets what I'm really trying

to say." Well, you're in the right place because today, we're going to teach you

how to overcome all those communication issues.

Hey, Marianne DeNovellis here and today, let's talk about communication.

Okay, so communication and let's be honest guys, I'm just going take a wild

stab in the dark here, make a guess. My guess is that you're watching this video

because somebody else has a problem. Let's get real here, communication takes

two parties, it takes a talker and a listener and a listener and a talker and

both of it all these people are communicating with each other.

It takes two to tango so let's get nitty-gritty on what we can do to

improve communication with you. First things first,

you've probably heard this before and I'll say it again because it's worth

repeating. You have two ears and one mouth, use

accordingly. Two years and one mouth means, this it means a lot of the times,

let's be honest, we're communicating and listening and having a conversation and

waiting for our turn to speak. Now just just take a self inventory for a moment,

ask yourself this question, how many times have you been talking to someone

and you're just waiting for the break in their sentence? You're waiting for them

to take a breath so that you can insert your opinion, your thought or your

recommendation and just ask yourself, how often does that happen that you're

talking and listening in order to speak instead of listening, in order to

understand? How often does this happen in your world? What if you tried on

something I call the reflective conversation. I grew up with a pilot in

the family, in fact, several of them, my dad was a pilot, all my brothers are

pilots, his dad was a pilot and so communication was absolutely vital and

very very almost cutthroat in my family because they learned from the pilot

training. If you ever read one of Malcolm Gladwell's books, you'll find that he

talks about communication very very effectively in his book. He talks about

this airline and this airline is flying somewhere out of Asia and during this

whole process, one of the pilots was trying to communicate with the tower

that they were almost out of fuel and they needed a

place to land and refuel and what this pilot did is, he's radio the tower and he

said, "We're running low on fuel." He didn't tell them how much fuel they had, he

didn't help tell them how long they would last on

the fuel and he didn't have an airport nearby and he didn't really communicate

his intention very effectively, so when the tower radioed back, they said,

"Okay, well we're going to have you fly over to here in such-and-such a place and then

refuel there." Now what the tower didn't know was that that location was actually

outside of the remaining fuel range, however, because of the class levels and

the communication rules that they had in that country at that time, the pilot saw

himself as less important than the tower, so the pilot took that instruction

knowing that they didn't have the fuel enough to get there, knowing that that

fuel would be insufficient, that they would probably crash and took that

instruction and went with it even though he knew that they wouldn't make it.

That airplane ended up actually crashing and a lot of lives were lost that day

because of simple communications. Now how do we bring that into our world?

What does that mean? That maybe there's not, forgive the term, maybe there's not body

bags on the line but maybe there are, maybe there are emotional ones or

something in your spirit that will be totally damaged if effective

communication is not in place. Now because of that experience, airlines all

around the world, in every single country, now have a standard communication system

which means that the pilot, if he's having trouble, can share that openly,

nevermind class systems, nevermind formalities, nevermind all of the things

that can happen in miscommunication. There is a system for pilots to

communicate and part of that is a reflective conversation. Now my dad was a

pilot and I can remember, we took lots of road trips as kids, we drove all the way

to Rhode Island from Denver, we would drive to Utah almost once a month from

Denver, we had a lot of places and opportunities for navigation to take

place and effective clear precise communication to come in very very handy.

Now I'll never forget, I remember turning a corner in the passenger seat while my

dad was driving and I remember changing lanes with him, I remember doing all of

these things where I was the navigator in that position and he was the pilot in

the car and a lot of the things that he would say to me was say, "Marianne, I'm

going to ask you if the road is clear and you're going to respond with either clear

or hold. Don't say not clear cause I might just hear the word clear and go for it

when it's not clear. If it's time to hold say hold, if it's clear, I'm going to hear

clear and I'm going to go for it." You know this reflective communication

so he would confirm back to me, he would say, "Marianne, am I clear?" and I would look

around, check my blind spots and I would either say clear or hold and my dad

would respond, "Confirmed clear, confirmed hold." and I would be totally like, oh my gosh

are we really having to do this? I mean we're not in a pilot sea, there's not 100

people behind us in the airplane, I didn't like, this is weird for father

daughter to be having to communicate this way and for a long time, I thought

however strange it was, it was effective and what I learned that and even though

in a lot of conversations you don't need to say confirm clear, confirm hold in

that really stringent and professional manner, reflective conversation

accomplishes the same thing. Think of it this way, maybe you're having

communication issues with a spouse, maybe despite your best efforts, you're finding

that a lot of people are misunderstanding what you have to say.

Maybe that with your kids, you're having communication issues there, maybe with

clients and employees, you're finding that the lines of communication are

muddled or maybe even non-existent. I'm going to invite you to try on this

concept of the reflective conversation. Think of a reflection, a reflection is

something that you see in the mirror, you see yourself in the mirror but you don't

see yourself exactly as you are, you see a reflection of yourself, you see your

features are actually a mirrored version not a carbon-copy version so it's not an

exact replica of who you are, it's a perception of who you are and when you

have that reflective conversation, that's exactly

what you're looking for, you're looking for the perception that the

other person has of you. So when you're communicating something and when I'm

communicating something, I always like to ask this question, and I'm going to invite

you to do the same thing, when you're communicating something that you need to

make sure the other person understands, let's say for example, you're meeting

someone to go bowling at seven o'clock, you say, "Hey, let's meet at the bowling

alley at seven o'clock." Now what did you hear? Where are we meeting? Confirm that

you heard, are you understanding what I'm trying to say? Let me know what your

perception is, that's my favorite one. Now let me know what your thought is, what

are your thoughts. The person may say, "Oh, I'm meeting you at the ultimate bowling

lane tomorrow at seven o'clock." No actually, we're meeting at the Excalibur

bowling alley tomorrow at 7 a.m. You see how the difference in perception is?

They thought you're meeting at a different bowling alley at one seven o'clock, maybe

it was p.m. and you meant another bowling alley at 7 o'clock a.m. When you

asked for feedback on what you're sharing with people, you can understand

more where they're coming from and that way your lines of communication become

totally clear. Another really important tip when it comes to communication is to

do what Allen Redpath recommends and that is to think. T-H-I-N-K, think.

Think before you speak. Now that's pretty commonplace, you've heard that before but

let's break it down into different parts. Talk about T and think. Is what you're

communicating actually true? Do you actually know if what you're

communicating is accurate? Does it represent the truth of what the real

situation is especially when it comes to gossip, that's when gossip gets to take a

hike and go out the door because there's no way you can know it's true unless

you've actually talked to the people involved. So ask yourself, is it true? Talk

about H, is it helpful? Is what you're communicating going to help the other

party or help you as you communicate it? Maybe it's not helpful, maybe again, check

gossip at the door guys, gossip I've never found to be helpful. In fact, it's

the opposite of helpful, it's detrimental. Is what your communicate

helpful? I, inspiring. Is what you're communicating inspiring? Well it lift up

someone else that you're talking to? Will it lifts you up as you share it and the

funny thing about inspiring is, you can't really lift up one without the other.

If one of you is inspired by what you have to say, the other is inspired as well.

Inspire with your words instead of damaging with your words. N, is it

necessary? Is this communication necessary? Now you could go super super

oracle on me and say, "Oh I can't share anything that's not necessary, does that

mean I'm going to be a mute for half my life? Does that mean I don't get to share

my ideas, my thoughts, my fun stuff?" No, necessary means, is it necessary for your

intention. If your intention is to get someone to laugh then whatever you have

to say, that falls in that category. Is it necessary to coordinate? Absolutely.

Necessary means, does it accomplish the goal that you're setting out to do? So if

you're thinking about before you speak, ask yourself all of these questions as

you come up and as we come to the last one, this may be the underlying yet most

important foundation for everything that you get to share. K stands for kind.

Is what you have to share kind? And even if the news, maybe you have some news that

isn't fun, isn't neat to share, can you share it with a kind heart? The kind has

less to do about your message and more with your intention. Is my intention to

be kind? Is my intention to share with love? Is my intention to create

connection between me and the person I'm talking to. So before you speak, think. Is

it true? Is it helpful? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? And is it kind? When you're

communicating with someone in your world, a spouse, a child, an employee, a client,

one of the most important things to do while remembering that you've got two

ears and one mouth is to ask for permission. There's a rule in life that

says connect before you correct, especially if you're in the position

stewardship, either you're a boss or a parent, you want to connect before a

correction needs to be made and then on top of that, you're going to want to ask

for feedback. Those two things asking for permission and being open to feedback at

the end are what is going to draw the heart in your communication because

let's face it, the whole reason we're communicating is to be on the same sheet

of music and we're not on the same sheet of music, we fall out of harmony, there is

discord, sometimes contention, sometimes confusion and that's not the purpose of

any communication that I have ever found to be helpful. So while you're thinking

before you speak, remember to ask permission and be open for feedback and

ask for feedback because when someone feels heard, they feel that they're a

part of what is being created and when you can feel like you're a part of what

is being created, you are invested in the result. You want to know how to up level

your communication? Keep in mind that it starts with you.

Okay so now you know all

the secrets to what it takes to create amazing communication in all of your

relationships. Go click the link below, we're going to be holding an event right

Melania Trump copied Michelle Obama again — but this time, it's a brilliant political move - Duration: 1:43.

Melania Trump copied Michelle Obama again � but this time, it's a brilliant political

move.

Melania Trump seems to have a new favorite shirt.

On Thursday, President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump spent part of Thanksgiving

Day with members of the U.S. Coast Guard in Riviera Beach, Florida.

Melania's shirt immediately caught our eye � a $75 button down from J. Crew.

The first lady had previously worn the shirt when returning from Camp David.

The first lady has developed a balancing act between her typical high-fashion looks � which

usually cost a couple of thousand of dollars � and clothing she wears when she's making

public visits to promote certain causes.

While Melania will wear a $3,000 coat to the annual turkey pardoning, she'll change into

a button down and baseball cap to spend time with the Coast Guard.

It's the same strategy that leads the first lady to wear stilettos while leaving the White

house, but change into her baseball cap and sneakers on the plane.

Michelle Obama became famous for her appreciation of Target and J. Crew fashion during her time

as first lady.

Obama used fashion to appear as an accessible yet aspirational "mom-in-chief" � a look

that Melania Trump seems to be adopting herself.

First Lady Trump was famously criticized for giving a Republican National Committee speech

that was eerily similar to one that Michelle Obama gave in 2008.

That isn't to say that Trump is necessarily trying to exactly replicate Obama's style.

Obama was primarily known for her more accessible fashion choices, with dresses priced at more

than $1,000 as the exception � not the rule.

However, Melania Trump is learning that, when it comes to certain public appearances, going

for a more accessible look can pay off.

And, that might require repeating a few J. Crew button downs.

Photoshop tutorial : hair and wigs ( english subtitles ! ) - Duration: 10:01.

Hi everyone, welcome to this new tutorial which was requested a lot on instagram !

About how I'm editing hair and wigs on photoshop

I'll show you how I erase hair, how I paint new hair, how I change the shape and how I edit lace fronts

You need to know that I'm using a graphic tablet - a wacom - to edit

It allows me to be more precise, but it's possible to do it with a mouse

But it will be just a little bit harder and you'll have to be more patient :)

Let's start with this Kotori picture, which is perfect to show you how I errase and add hair

I'll be using different technics, some of them are not the neatest

For example here, I've not done it really well - you can see it was photoshopped

First tehcnic I'm using is Liquify

I'm using it especially when there is a big mass of hair like here

You can find Liquify in " Filter "

Be careful slow computer owners : save your work before using liquify ;)

Take the "finger" tool, on the top left

You can change the tool size on the top right

I personaly love using not too tiny or too big sizes

I'm going to flatten the hair shape

As you can see, I'm moving the image on the right, that's not a problem, I will correct it afterwards

I wanted to make it look more "fluid"

So I flatten a lot on the top, to create a nice hair move

First step is done !

Looking a bit better :D

All these bad hair will be removed afterwards

First problem is that we moved the right edge of the image on Liquify

So we can see the layer which is underneath

It's really easy to correct it :

Take the " Spot healing brush tool " ( well, the corrector tool as I call it )

It usually does its work well.

( I'm doing it really quickly here )

Now we want to correct those hair

First tool, which is also the easiest to use : corrector tool ( Spot healing brush tool )

Choose a really tiny size - a few pixels -

And start working on the hair

Tadaaa

Sadly it's only working well on isolated hair

If I try to use it here, it's not going to work well

( Note : It sometimes works on the hair mass, so feel free to try :) I already edited messy hair only with this tool. But more often, you will have to use different tools. )

Once I have this clean area, I can use it to copy/paste it on the bad hair

So now it's time for the "not neat at all" technic

I'm using the Clone stamp tool

Opacity : 100 %

Hardness : 0 %

Size : not too big, not too small.

( Note : For example here, the size I'm using is too tiny and will result in a messy result, I should have used a bigger size )

So let's start : I'm doing it in a quick and prety messy way but it's only to show you the aim of this

Copy an area without hair

Try to align it

And paste

( Note : you don't have to mind about how the hair looks now, same for the background close to the hair cause it's going to be covered during the next step )

Try not to mess with your background too much, it has to be coherent.

I'm doing this really fast cause it's a tutorial but it's better to take your time for this step ^^

If you did something like this, you can easly correct it with the corrector tool ( spot healing brush tool )

Or with the stamp ( with a lower opacity ) to blind the areas or with the brush tool if you prefer to directly paint on the picture ( what I love to do, actually )

As you can see, we have now a clean but really unatural looking result

It looks really rigid ( and really photoshoped ahah )

We need small hair like here

It's important, when you're editing hair, not to forget that it has to look natural

It musn't look like a big " bloc" but it has to look organic and "free".

So we need to add hair now !

I'ts the funniest step - in my opinion - but also the longest ^^

We're going to draw hair ( Note : there are different technics to do it, I prefer using the brush )

Select the brush tool

Then press alt and click on the hair to take the hair color

( Note : Sometimes the color selected on the hair isn't perfect, feel free to change it a little bit, as long as it remains coherent )

Select a sharpness, depending on how blury or sharp your hair are

If it's a portrait with blury hair, select a low sharpness

If they are sharp - like here - select a high sharpness. So the hair you will add can merge with the hair of the model

Choose a brush size close to the hair size

I usually use two different size, to make the hair looking more natural

So here I'll be using a size around 5 pixel, and then add really tiny hair at 1 pixel

About the brush opacity : do as you prefer.

I personaly love using a low one

But the problem is that, when hair intersect, you can see the difference of opacity

It's not a problem for a picture like this one, but for a close portrait when you can clearly see the hair details, I wouldn't recomand it

So just do as you prefer. I love using a low opacity cause it creates a really light and natural look.

So now... let's go !

You need to follow the hair movement

And not doing big lines like this

Stay close from the mass and build the hair slowly, with patience :)

Not that it's done, you can alerady do a little before/after to check how you improved the hair :D

( I love doing this :D )

Now we will add more "free hair"

Now it's too flawless, to make it look natural we must add flying hair, imperfections...

Cause as you can see, it's still look like a "bloc"

Don't forget to frequently zoom out

For example here, it allows me to see that I used a too tiny brush size

So I'm going to use a bigger brush size

As I already said, it's a tutorial so I won't spend hours on this, but this needs more time to look perfect :)

But as you can see, the result is already really better looking than the original hair

I'm using those technics a lot

Here for example, it has been a bit harder cause the background is full of details

And I had this mass here on the top which was really hard to erase

So instead of erasing them, I decided to add hair

Which allows to hide the bad looking hair... underneath better looking hair x)

So when it's too hard to erase : adding hair can be the solution :)

You will save time and energy x)

You can also use these technics to add facial hair

For example, here on the beard

I also added hair

It's also a great way to hide something you don't want people to see, for example when the wig moved during the photoshoot

If you can see the model hair under the wig, simply adding fake hair is a great way to hide them.

For example, here I wanted to hide the delimitation between the wig and the skin

Now, lace fronts :

To be honest, this is the hardest thing to edit for me

But I have a few tips for you

First, try to figure out what can be improved

Very often, with the lace fronts, you'll have shadows like here

which show that it's a wig

There can be also glue or hair gel traces

It happens a lot with lace fronts, you'll almost always have to edit it

And luckily, it's not too hard to edit

To edit the red part, I simply used a brush, picked the red color of the hair and... painted

For the "hair roots"

I'm using different tool

Starting with the Spot healing brush tool ( corrector tool )

It often does it prety well :)

Do it little by little

Then you can add new hair, or enlighten the shadows, etc. Do everything that can make it more natural looking

I'm using the dodge tool to brighten the shadows

So again, I did it really quickly only to show you what you can do, but it's not perfect at all

That's the final result ( and there are still a few things I could have done better tbh )

So it's really a matter of patience and time

and a combination of multiple technics

to get a natural looking result

So this tutorial is now over !

I hope it will be usefull ! If yes, feel free to let me know

If you have any questions I'll try to answer them <3

Same if you have any comments to make :)

I wish you a great day, great editings and a great christmas <3

See you soon for a new tutorial, probably about how I edit light ;)

Dr. Heltsley and Dr. Riley Discuss Orthopaedics - Duration: 3:46.

My name is James Ralph Heltsley and my position here at Graves Gilbert Clinic; I'm an orthopaedic

surgeon with a specialty in sports medicine.

My name is Shane Riley and I'm one of the orthopaedic surgeons here at Graves Gilbert

Clinic.

You know, general orthopaedic care when you come to see us, our focus is to really identify

the problem and figure out how to make it better.

When you come see me, my goal is to not put a Band-Aid on your problem, not just tell

you to do something and it's probably going to come back down the road.

My goal is to find exactly what's going on with your problem, whether it be your knee,

your shoulder, your hip, your elbow, and once we diagnose it to find exactly what's going

to make you better and get you back to full activity to where you need to be.

Well orthopaedics treats both non-op and operative.

Obviously as an orthopaedic surgeon we do do surgery, but we try to get people better

without surgery first, that's the goal.

We treat all sorts of injuries, whether that be from trauma, hand injuries, sporting injuries,

joints, arthritic joints, spine and neck, so there's a variety of muscular-skeletal

injuries we treat, but the thing that often people think orthopaedic surgeon is surgery.

Well yeah, we can do surgery, but we try to get you better without surgery initially and

then when we fail all of that then we may move forward to surgery if that's required.

So arthroscopic procedures is something that you do where you make small incisions, for

a knee arthroscopy I make two small incisions about five millimeters in size and you can

do all of your work through that, utilizing a small camera and then small instrumentation

that can take care of whatever's going on within the knee and this goes for the shoulder

as well.

There's three main factors I always tell people that they need to try to eliminate before

they undergo a hip or knee surgery that's an arthroplasty.

One of those are if you're diabetic, you need to get your glucose under control, so eating

better is a good thing.

If you are a smoker, preferably try to quit as soon as possible because it harms your

healing and your soft tissues as well as your skin and bones and last if you're overweight

if you can, try to develop some kind of exercise program because not only will that help you

lose weight prior to surgery, it will also get you ready for your post-surgery with your

muscles being in better shape.

So that's three factors I always hit immediately.

When you come to my office if you have a problem that we can treat non-operatively, meaning

it's not something that has to have surgery, physical therapy is one of the main things

I go to.

This is something that's going to take four to six weeks before you start seeing the benefits

of the therapy.

Also, we can do anti-inflammatories, bracing, injections are always something we can do

as well, but like I said earlier, like I recommend for all my patients, we want to find out exactly

what's going on with you, whether it be you knee or shoulder and fix that problem and

sometimes it is just physical therapy, but other times it can't get better unless you

have surgery.

Cheap eBay Bikes - Which Is Best? | The GCN Challenge - Duration: 24:24.

(exotic drum music)

(laughing)

- He's not gonna be out the chair, is he?

He's just gonna be stuck.

- [Narrator] It's almost Christmas and Santa's elves

are about to go into gift-packing frenzy.

Our GCN heroes are looking for maximum bang for their bucks,

and 130 bucks, or 100 pounds, doesn't go an awful long way.

But just how far does it go?

Let's find out.

- Right, let's see what you boys have got.

Are those Gucci shades?

- Oh, hold on a minute.

- Oh no.

- What's that one on the end?

- There's some funny shapes.

Right, can we start on the left?

That's right, we've each been given 100 pounds

by a very kind producer to purchase or acquire

the fastest two-wheeled machine that our rather meagre

budget can offer, to carry out some tests.

Matt Stephens and mine.

- Gunwale ties, mate.

High five.

- What I'ma do, I'm gonna tighten the excitement

by giving you a slow reveal of mine, if that's alright.

- [Presenter] Like a strip tease?

A vintage?

- [Presenter] I thought it was a triple for a second.

(playful music)

- There she is. - Wow, look at that, mate!

- Look at that, I'm proud.

(cheery music)

Well this is my beauty.

Baby blue ink colour, it's a Carlton, made in England,

probably, I think, from the early 1980's.

Look at the rake on those forks, look at the large

flange hubs, look at the Raleigh chain set, basically.

It's a 42/50, I think, with 10 speed transmission.

Cogs look pretty big at the back, but I haven't been able

to count them 'cause they're just a little bit too oily.

But lovely attention to detail on this, I've obviously got

clips and straps, I think these are 28 mil gunwale tyres.

These are original, slightly perished at the side

which is a slight concern, but look at these beautiful,

centre pull breaks made by Weinmann, okay,

but look at these satellite shifters I have here as well.

Satellite braking for when I'm climbing,

so hope I don't really need.

Do you know what?

She's gonna fly.

- [Narrator] Matt likes a Carlton and I like Matt, too,

but when it comes to striking a pose,

Matt, as ever, misses the bus.

(silly music)

- Alright then, guys, you are gonna be,

you're gonna be a little bit nervous when you see this

'cause, uh, 'cause I think this is gonna be fast.

Check it out, we got disc brakes, oh yeah.

- [Presenter] Discs!

- [Presenter] Oh my word.

- A Gryphon.

(laughing)

I've even got a pannier rack.

- [Presenter] Did you think it was graphene?

- This is my Carrera Gryphon,

and that's Gryphon, not graphene.

Actually it's made out of aluminium which I just found out,

but nevertheless, this is a serious bit of tip

for a serious rider, I really need to win this challenge.

I've not won one since 2014 which is a longer drought

even than Cannondale-Drapac, but this,

this is the bike that's gonna do it me.

It's a very modern bike, got 16 gears, disc brakes,

I've got a nice wide 20/80 ties and even when you start

looking, got aerodynamic rims, and in fact,

an aerodynamic down tube, which is slightly ruined,

I'll admit, by that mud guard but anyway,

it's aero, that's all we need to know.

There is one slight problem, and that is

this horrific-looking steerer extender.

Now I'll admit, when I bought it,

my intention was to flip the stem and slam it,

get it nice and aero, and unfortunately I can't do that,

something about star fangled nut.

(beeping)

That's ...

That means I can't actually drop stem.

(beeping)

But anyway, I've got confidence this is

a mighty bike.

This rear brake isn't very good for skids though

- Stand back.

(laughing)

- I hope that's got a motor, mate,

otherwise that is not a fast bike.

(laughing)

- Please welcome, the Schwinn Stingray.

- It's a Stingray.

- [Presenter] Seriously, mate,

that is a lot of bike for 100 quid.

- Well this is my Schwinn Stingray, and to start this,

I'm going to quote directly from the Schwinn website.

"Part cruiser, part shopper, 100% muscle bike."

Now let's go through a few of the specifications:

got a big V back drag handlebar, some long range,

V drag spokes, plus a Big Boa drag rear tyre, so.

- [Si] A lot of drag then?

- It is a lot of drag, but I'm mean to my drag,

as you know, Si.

All in all, this comes in at a whooping 24.5 kilogrammes

which, in old money, is over 50 pounds,

and since I got this even in this condition at 95 pounds,

that's less than 2 pounds per pound.

That's a lot bang for your buck right there.

(classy music)

- [Narrator] Dan's bike doesn't come with horn, but

(raspberries), he adds a little toot of his own.

- Oh Christ, whacked my knee.

- [Man] Oh get that wheelie, pop a wheelie, come on.

(laughing)

- [Presenter] Right so, tell me what you've got

to explain these, mate.

- This, again, was 100 quid, slightly more than

that delivered, and it's got three wheels.

- [Presenter] Ho, ho!

- Bosch!

- Well, you know, it's got a three speed Sturmey-Archer hub.

- It's got quick release.

- It's got a beer, it's got a beer container.

- I think that's the allen key that's got stuck in there,

mate, that's not quick release.

- [Presenter] (laughing) That's amazing.

- I'm not sure there's much quick about it,

but yeah, this is my bike.

This is my Pashley Picador trike.

That's right, it has got three wheels, apart from that,

I've not really seemed to get the hang of riding it.

(beeping)

(laughing)

(beeping)

It's got three gears, it's got two front brakes,

which is new as well as the three wheel thing.

It's also got this trunk on the back

that it's presumably quite good at carrying things.

That's about it really, I don't think I can even ride it.

(laughing) It's marginally, marginally slower

than just walking, but we'll give it a go.

- [Narrator] Strangely, Tom puts his Aunt Jackie's ashes

in the trunk, the criminal mind hides guilt with laughter.

(laughing)

Time to take Jackie for a nervous spin.

(upbeat music)

- Wow.

Yeah, it's not,

it's not very good at going right,

even around slight corners.

- Right then, chaps.

Are we going for it?

- Yeah, (sighs), a challenge.

- Okay, you will undertake five challenges

to decide which presenter and his budget bike

was best value for money, ohhh.

There will be four tests to decide

the start order for the finale.

The winner of each test will win

time bonuses for the last challenge.

- [Matt] Wow.

- Tell you what, that's-

- That is like four preparatory rounds then a grand finale,

if that's what we're saying?

- I think that's what this is saying.

(sighing)

- So, as challenge number one is nearest my bike,

I shall do the honours.

Here we go, test number one, the wheelie.

(laughing)

- [Presenter] The wheelie king can't wheelie his bike!

- Kurt Osborne, nicknamed The Wheelie King, from California

in the United States, is the Guinness World Record Holder

for the Longest Bicycle Wheelie, riding on the back wheel

in August of 1998, he rode a wheelie for a record 11 hours

at the Anaheim Convention Centre in California.

Who can wheelie the furthest on their steed?

(excited poppy music)

- [Narrator] Time to find the answer to the question

that's been raging on the GCN notice boards:

who has the biggest wheelie?

- [Matt] Right, looks like it's me

to start off with the wheelies.

- Go Matt, you can do it.

- Look, watch, and learn.

- [Presenter] How not to do it.

- [Presenter] Good luck mate.

I know that face, that means business.

(chortling)

- [Narrator] Matt doesn't have the biggest wheelie,

but he's pleased with it.

- Si, you're up next.

- Alright.

- [Narrator] The cyborg was designed to be both

aero and dynamic, it's show time for GCN's stunt robot.

(grunting)

- Blew my neck.

- [Narrator] Oh, it's a biggie.

- Right, going down.

- Good luck mate.

- [Narrator] Dan goes OCD as he cleans the target zone,

not a hair out of place after a period of no hair at all.

(exclaiming)

- Whoa, that was nearly two metres!

- [Narrator] Dan sets the bar high for all Schwinn owners,

and back to the bar he goes, yet, he just can't stop.

- [Presenter] Whoa, even further!

- [Presenter] Proper little bit of lift there.

- [Presenter] Three metres!

- [Narrator] As ever, it's a cheeky triple for Dan.

But there's a younger man up next, pack it in Dan.

- Slightly nervous about this one.

- I don't know why, mate, I think you'll be fine.

- Just play it safe, yeah.

- You got it in the right gear?

- Look how coarse, I just love how coarse

he has to be on that button.

- [Narrator] Time for Tom to take granny for a ride,

just checking there's no puff of dust.

- Go on, Tom, hey, he's been out in the, in the Go.

Nice, you gonna lose point for hitting the GoPro.

- Nah, nah, points for beating you.

- (laughing) That was hilarious.

- [Narrator] And it's double helpings for Jackie in the box.

- He's got more speed, oh my God, this is ...

- [All] Whoa!

(clapping)

- [Presenter] I think it was about there, wasn't it, yeah.

- Every time I do this, the reach gets a little bit shorter.

(laughing)

- [Narrator] The best of the versed.

In these parts, that means top sausage.

Simon had the biggest, just out of Dan's spicy salami,

a chipple out of performance from Tom,

and a cocktail sausage from Matt, but it was chilly.

- Right then, number two.

The bunny hop: The highest bicycle bunny hop is one metre

45, or 4 foot 9, and was achieved by Rick Koekoek

in London on the 29th on July 2017.

How high can you bunny hop your bike?

- We shall soon find out, won't we?

- Who designed these things?

(laughing)

- Right, let's do it.

- [Narrator] The average bunny only hops around

three centimetres off the ground,

but can these guys beat the bunny in public?

- Come on Matt.

- [Narrator] Matt says he's aiming to produce

the perfect parabola.

That's a mathematically perfect curve, which should see

the wheels horizontal at the median point.

- [Presenter] What d'ya reckon that was?

4 centimetres?

- [Narrator] Well it's certainly a load of parabollocks.

- [Presenter] You've got a different foot this time.

(exclaiming)

- [Presenter] Ready, here we go.

- [Presenter] He's coming, coming in hot.

- [Narrator] Tom looks nervous about his first jump.

To succeed, he needs to clear his mind,

listen to the inner self, be at one with his ancestors,

who are clearly no help this time.

- [Presenter] Look at that, ha, ha, ha!

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Tom now realising

he should've gone for a younger model.

(chortling)

- I can't bend it back.

The pedal's touching the floor.

- [Presenter] Turn it upside down, it'll be alright.

(laughing)

- [Narrator] Tom describes his ride as quirky,

but it's a turkey and the carcass is failing.

(exclaiming and laughing)

- [Narrator] Dan Lloyd is an anagram of diyna dull.

Time to blow it up and get on with it.

- (grunting and sighing) God, that wasn't my best one,

I've got one more go, haven't I?

- [Presenter] Come on, laddie.

(exclaiming)

- [Narrator] Dan pumping iron, he performs heroically,

teasing his cruiser into a bruiser.

- Here you go, cycle up, mate.

- Thanks.

(grunting)

- That wheel didn't quite go up, no.

- [Presenter] Impressive front wheel.

Impressive front wheel.

- [Narrator] Si is a renowned disco fanatic,

he knows you've gotta get up to get down.

- Go on, Si.

(grunting)

- [Narrator] Sadly for our wheelie king, in this test,

he's no glorious gainer.

Dan the man, Si the first two letters of silver,

Matt not glossy, Tom buried like his aunt should've been.

- Challenge number three.

(ripping)

Oh, the track stand.

The current Guinness World Record

for the longest track stand is

(chuckling) 21 hours, 34 minutes?

- Well, I've got a kick stand.

- [Presenter] I think Tom could probably do that,

on his for about two days.

- Hang on a minute, hang on,

it says track stand, not kick stand.

Anyways, Jim DeChamp at Miller Motorsports Park

in Tooele, Utah, on the 18th of November 2008,

for the MTV show Nitro Circus.

How long-

- I think Tom might've won it already mate.

(laughing and chattering)

- I've got my kickstand.

- Oh, it's gonna be close between you two.

It might need to take an extra week.

(chattering)

- I didn't even think to buy a trike.

- [Narrator] Holding steady while those around you fail

is a skillset the armies seek in elite forces.

So who will wear the big pants and who will go commando?

- [Man] Three, two, one, go.

- [Man] And stop.

- [Narrator] Animal, it's the mood Dan adopts

in competition; it's also the name of The Muppets' drummer.

Those arms are busy.

- I'm down.

- [Narrator] Dan Lloyd is an anagram of all naughty,

but he can't beat big ears this time.

- I didn't realise you were allowed to move forward.

- (laughing) I've got third.

- Right then, Lasty, it's you and me, mate.

- [Narrator] Matt turns into a bronzed beauty,

well, pinky bronze.

(chill music)

- I'm just chill, then, I'm sat here,

waiting for the frame to fail.

- Dan, do you think Tom's got a little bit of an advantage?

- Well I wasn't allowed to use my kickstand.

- He's so relaxed.

- What, you're doing well.

- Thanks mate.

- It's for the extra high handlebars.

- It's true actually, it's quite comfortable.

(playful music)

(laughing)

- [Presenter] What, one-handed?

- Well,

- [Cyclist] Can you do no-handed?

(exclaiming)

- Ut oh.

- [Cyclist] No, that's it.

- (sighing) Fair play, mate.

What up, Si?

- There's bloody good skills there Tom, seriously,

that's just off the scale, mate.

Victor, it's good when you get first?

- Yeah, it's my first podium, no, no two thirds.

- [Narrator] A relaxed yet satisfying effort

from Tom and Aunt Jackie.

Simon with the skills, Matt with the thrills,

and Dan with the swills, he'll drink to that.

- Right, hope for this one is just about looking cool.

Stopping distance.

It is stated that a bike being operated should be able

to stop at a speed of 15 miles per hour

within 4.5 metres, which is 15 feet.

What distance will your bike require to stop

from 15 miles per hour to a stand still,

if you can get your bike to 15 miles per hour?

We've got a downhill, haven't we?

- A bit dicey down there really.

- [Presenter] Yeah, that is.

- I'm quite confident on this one, I am quite confident.

- I'ma bit nervous. - Come on.

- [Narrator] Sometimes a good performance

is all about knowing when to stop.

It's show time for some proper anchors.

- Are we level with Louis' front wheel or his back wheel?

(fanfare music)

(laughing)

- Well, I think there aren't any words really, are there?

It's sad.

I think it's fixable for the final stage.

I was pleased to get the win on that actually,

that stage, but, you know, but it was win at all costs.

- [Narrator] The beard and the weird tie for first.

Matt and Si mistakenly went full beans,

but couldn't control the gas.

- The final test is the hill climb, alright?

So this is the final challenge

to decide the overall champion.

Basically it's the fastest climb to the summit

of the Campolongo, which 5.8 kilometres in length,

elevation game of 3.53 metres, 11% maximum gradient,

6.1% average gradient.

Who's gonna be the winner?

- I like the sound of that.

- Yeah, we were each provided with 100 pounds

to purchase our bike, as we well know.

Now the winner of each test receives a minute advantage,

and for every pound saved on your purchase below 100 pounds,

will also receive a minute advantage.

So Dan's bike cost 95 pounds, he gets,

well he gets 5 minutes.

- [Dan] Yes.

- Which you might actually need to be honest with you, mate.

(laughing)

Right, let's do this.

(intense string music)

- [Narrator] It's time to test the metal and see who's nuts,

who bolts, who's rusty, and who's a bit of a spanner.

There's tension in the air, you can smell it.

But who dealt it?

- [Man] Three, two, one,

go!

(cheering)

(fast, intense music)

- Pacing, pacing.

- [Narrator] You don't put a Greyhound on roller skaters,

you get a lot of effort and not much go.

Straight line pace goes awol, and pretty it is not.

- Oh my goodness, this is gonna be a long climb.

(record scratching)

- [Man] Go Lasty, go, go, go!

- [Man] Is that stuff legal, sorry?

- [Narrator] Tom keeps the faith,

he believes this game is not lost, he also believes

in the tooth fairy and Father Christmas.

He should've asked Santa for a new frame.

- [Man] Three, two, one, go.

(upbeat music)

- [Presenter] Oh, look at that, it's like poetry in motion.

- [Narrator] Sometimes in life, to get the job done,

you need to find the right tool.

Think of Simon, think right tool.

Think of Tom, think last.

(laughing and huffing)

One target down, thoughts drift to the chaser.

If he can clear the fear of the rear

from his mind, he'll be okay.

- I'm nervous about Matt.

- [Man] Three, two, one, go.

- Cheers boys, let me get these straps on, oh.

- [Narrator] Matt always fumbles when it comes to straps,

but, once tied down, he usually performs

and today is no different.

(intense music)

Matt starts to look very burn out eno,

but maybe not so much badger as tadger.

Up ahead, Dan turns into middle distance legend

Haile Gebrselassie or is that slightly Gebrselassie?

- I can't see him.

(huffing) I'm at my limit.

I can't see him.

(breathing heavily) How has he done it?

Oh God.

- [Narrator] Dan tries an old motivational technique

he uses when he races his own kids.

It's called shouting.

- (shouting) Not in sight.

Look.

A big gap, a big gap.

Come on.

- It's really sad end.

(intense music)

- [Narrator] You might think Tom brought

a knife to a gun fight, but he didn't,

he brought a catapult to nuclear war.

Tom says goodbye to auntie, there's no music

and curtains with this ceremony,

and no winning ticket from the Tombola.

Dan Lloyd is an anagram of yodelin' lad.

Well he's not singing now.

(heavy drumming music)

(groaning loudly)

- First worst.

- [Narrator] Si's efforts means he lives up to the nickname

The Ringmaster, that's from the circus obviously.

Matt, he's tested his guts today, it's been full gas.

(excited, climactic music)

This winner's been a long time coming.

Si has broken a duck, got a monkey off his back,

and he says, knotted the python.

That's how much effort he's put in.

- Oh, I can't believe it, I thought eight minutes

would be too much to make up on an athlete like Lloydy,

we saw how fast he was running.

Those tips from GCN mostly paid off,

I'm just so thankful I've broken that three year duck,

(groaning) it feels good.

Go Matt!

- [Narrator] Matt lunging for glory

from an imaginary pack of opponents with actual talent.

- [Si] Eatin' a big dog as well (chuckling).

- [Narrator] Dan Lloyd is an anagram of oldy land,

but today this mountain belongs to a younger man.

- [Presenter] Good ride.

- What up, mate?

- [Dan] What up man, you get it?

- I did man, I did, just held off.

- I thought I had it for a bit.

- I thought you had it for a bit.

- I thought you had it as well.

- I beat Lasty, though, have you seen him?

- I passed him on the second corner?

- [Matt] I just passed him just past the second corner.

He didn't look to be in great shape to honest with ya,

it was bitin' him then anyway?

- [Si] Really?

- [Matt] Yeah.

- [Narrator] Tom abandoned both his trike and Aunt Jackie.

In life, neither gave him much support,

he's coping well with his loss.

- Well I tell you what, chaps, that was quite a race,

and what a bike test, oh my goodness.

- I've learned a lot actually

on this challenge, I must admit.

- Yeah, 'cause that's such a broad spread of machines,

but ultimately, it was the hybrid,

with only one working disc brake,

that stole the day by a reasonable margin.

- The hybrid being the world's best value eBay bike,

but closely followed by the retro road bike.

- Yeah, I mean

- You pushed it hard.

- Yeah, I had automatic gears at some points,

it comes decided on declines which gears it, so it chose

itself, but regardless, still quite a lovely ride.

- I'll tell you what though, that light that you got

free with your bike, is pretty darn good like as he was

sailing into the distance, I could see him miles away.

- I could see it as well, a little marker, yeah.

- I tell you what, perhaps the most valuable lesson learned

is when buying a bike off eBay,

especially when it's made out of steel,

- Don't buy it with three wheels.

- And just check to make sure it's not rust through.

- Yeah, and that it's got triangle shapes in the frame.

Always helps. - Yeah.

Still valiant effort, mate.

- Right. - It was good.

- Just before you pulled that open,

that looked like quite a good champagne,

don't go too over the top when you're spraying,

wanna keep some of that for drinking, yeah.

- That was the coolest bike though, wasn't it?

That was without a doubt the coolest.

- Hang on, hang on, hang on.

(popping and spraying)

- Whoa.

(laughing)

- [Narrator] It was a great effort, lads.

(laughing)

- It's a screw top.

- You not know it's a screw top?

Bit wasted.

Cheers mate, and well done.

Effective Communication: How To Communicate Better - Duration: 13:03.

Do you constantly find yourself at odds with other people in your world? Are you

the one that says, "Man, I don't think anyone ever gets what I'm really trying

to say." Well, you're in the right place because today, we're going to teach you

how to overcome all those communication issues.

Hey, Marianne DeNovellis here and today, let's talk about communication.

Okay, so communication and let's be honest guys, I'm just going take a wild

stab in the dark here, make a guess. My guess is that you're watching this video

because somebody else has a problem. Let's get real here, communication takes

two parties, it takes a talker and a listener and a listener and a talker and

both of it all these people are communicating with each other.

It takes two to tango so let's get nitty-gritty on what we can do to

improve communication with you. First things first,

you've probably heard this before and I'll say it again because it's worth

repeating. You have two ears and one mouth, use

accordingly. Two years and one mouth means, this it means a lot of the times,

let's be honest, we're communicating and listening and having a conversation and

waiting for our turn to speak. Now just just take a self inventory for a moment,

ask yourself this question, how many times have you been talking to someone

and you're just waiting for the break in their sentence? You're waiting for them

to take a breath so that you can insert your opinion, your thought or your

recommendation and just ask yourself, how often does that happen that you're

talking and listening in order to speak instead of listening, in order to

understand? How often does this happen in your world? What if you tried on

something I call the reflective conversation. I grew up with a pilot in

the family, in fact, several of them, my dad was a pilot, all my brothers are

pilots, his dad was a pilot and so communication was absolutely vital and

very very almost cutthroat in my family because they learned from the pilot

training. If you ever read one of Malcolm Gladwell's books, you'll find that he

talks about communication very very effectively in his book. He talks about

this airline and this airline is flying somewhere out of Asia and during this

whole process, one of the pilots was trying to communicate with the tower

that they were almost out of fuel and they needed a

place to land and refuel and what this pilot did is, he's radio the tower and he

said, "We're running low on fuel." He didn't tell them how much fuel they had, he

didn't help tell them how long they would last on

the fuel and he didn't have an airport nearby and he didn't really communicate

his intention very effectively, so when the tower radioed back, they said,

"Okay, well we're going to have you fly over to here in such-and-such a place and then

refuel there." Now what the tower didn't know was that that location was actually

outside of the remaining fuel range, however, because of the class levels and

the communication rules that they had in that country at that time, the pilot saw

himself as less important than the tower, so the pilot took that instruction

knowing that they didn't have the fuel enough to get there, knowing that that

fuel would be insufficient, that they would probably crash and took that

instruction and went with it even though he knew that they wouldn't make it.

That airplane ended up actually crashing and a lot of lives were lost that day

because of simple communications. Now how do we bring that into our world?

What does that mean? That maybe there's not, forgive the term, maybe there's not body

bags on the line but maybe there are, maybe there are emotional ones or

something in your spirit that will be totally damaged if effective

communication is not in place. Now because of that experience, airlines all

around the world, in every single country, now have a standard communication system

which means that the pilot, if he's having trouble, can share that openly,

nevermind class systems, nevermind formalities, nevermind all of the things

that can happen in miscommunication. There is a system for pilots to

communicate and part of that is a reflective conversation. Now my dad was a

pilot and I can remember, we took lots of road trips as kids, we drove all the way

to Rhode Island from Denver, we would drive to Utah almost once a month from

Denver, we had a lot of places and opportunities for navigation to take

place and effective clear precise communication to come in very very handy.

Now I'll never forget, I remember turning a corner in the passenger seat while my

dad was driving and I remember changing lanes with him, I remember doing all of

these things where I was the navigator in that position and he was the pilot in

the car and a lot of the things that he would say to me was say, "Marianne, I'm

going to ask you if the road is clear and you're going to respond with either clear

or hold. Don't say not clear cause I might just hear the word clear and go for it

when it's not clear. If it's time to hold say hold, if it's clear, I'm going to hear

clear and I'm going to go for it." You know this reflective communication

so he would confirm back to me, he would say, "Marianne, am I clear?" and I would look

around, check my blind spots and I would either say clear or hold and my dad

would respond, "Confirmed clear, confirmed hold." and I would be totally like, oh my gosh

are we really having to do this? I mean we're not in a pilot sea, there's not 100

people behind us in the airplane, I didn't like, this is weird for father

daughter to be having to communicate this way and for a long time, I thought

however strange it was, it was effective and what I learned that and even though

in a lot of conversations you don't need to say confirm clear, confirm hold in

that really stringent and professional manner, reflective conversation

accomplishes the same thing. Think of it this way, maybe you're having

communication issues with a spouse, maybe despite your best efforts, you're finding

that a lot of people are misunderstanding what you have to say.

Maybe that with your kids, you're having communication issues there, maybe with

clients and employees, you're finding that the lines of communication are

muddled or maybe even non-existent. I'm going to invite you to try on this

concept of the reflective conversation. Think of a reflection, a reflection is

something that you see in the mirror, you see yourself in the mirror but you don't

see yourself exactly as you are, you see a reflection of yourself, you see your

features are actually a mirrored version not a carbon-copy version so it's not an

exact replica of who you are, it's a perception of who you are and when you

have that reflective conversation, that's exactly

what you're looking for, you're looking for the perception that the

other person has of you. So when you're communicating something and when I'm

communicating something, I always like to ask this question, and I'm going to invite

you to do the same thing, when you're communicating something that you need to

make sure the other person understands, let's say for example, you're meeting

someone to go bowling at seven o'clock, you say, "Hey, let's meet at the bowling

alley at seven o'clock." Now what did you hear? Where are we meeting? Confirm that

you heard, are you understanding what I'm trying to say? Let me know what your

perception is, that's my favorite one. Now let me know what your thought is, what

are your thoughts. The person may say, "Oh, I'm meeting you at the ultimate bowling

lane tomorrow at seven o'clock." No actually, we're meeting at the Excalibur

bowling alley tomorrow at 7 a.m. You see how the difference in perception is?

They thought you're meeting at a different bowling alley at one seven o'clock, maybe

it was p.m. and you meant another bowling alley at 7 o'clock a.m. When you

asked for feedback on what you're sharing with people, you can understand

more where they're coming from and that way your lines of communication become

totally clear. Another really important tip when it comes to communication is to

do what Allen Redpath recommends and that is to think. T-H-I-N-K, think.

Think before you speak. Now that's pretty commonplace, you've heard that before but

let's break it down into different parts. Talk about T and think. Is what you're

communicating actually true? Do you actually know if what you're

communicating is accurate? Does it represent the truth of what the real

situation is especially when it comes to gossip, that's when gossip gets to take a

hike and go out the door because there's no way you can know it's true unless

you've actually talked to the people involved. So ask yourself, is it true? Talk

about H, is it helpful? Is what you're communicating going to help the other

party or help you as you communicate it? Maybe it's not helpful, maybe again, check

gossip at the door guys, gossip I've never found to be helpful. In fact, it's

the opposite of helpful, it's detrimental. Is what your communicate

helpful? I, inspiring. Is what you're communicating inspiring? Well it lift up

someone else that you're talking to? Will it lifts you up as you share it and the

funny thing about inspiring is, you can't really lift up one without the other.

If one of you is inspired by what you have to say, the other is inspired as well.

Inspire with your words instead of damaging with your words. N, is it

necessary? Is this communication necessary? Now you could go super super

oracle on me and say, "Oh I can't share anything that's not necessary, does that

mean I'm going to be a mute for half my life? Does that mean I don't get to share

my ideas, my thoughts, my fun stuff?" No, necessary means, is it necessary for your

intention. If your intention is to get someone to laugh then whatever you have

to say, that falls in that category. Is it necessary to coordinate? Absolutely.

Necessary means, does it accomplish the goal that you're setting out to do? So if

you're thinking about before you speak, ask yourself all of these questions as

you come up and as we come to the last one, this may be the underlying yet most

important foundation for everything that you get to share. K stands for kind.

Is what you have to share kind? And even if the news, maybe you have some news that

isn't fun, isn't neat to share, can you share it with a kind heart? The kind has

less to do about your message and more with your intention. Is my intention to

be kind? Is my intention to share with love? Is my intention to create

connection between me and the person I'm talking to. So before you speak, think. Is

it true? Is it helpful? Is it inspiring? Is it necessary? And is it kind? When you're

communicating with someone in your world, a spouse, a child, an employee, a client,

one of the most important things to do while remembering that you've got two

ears and one mouth is to ask for permission. There's a rule in life that

says connect before you correct, especially if you're in the position

stewardship, either you're a boss or a parent, you want to connect before a

correction needs to be made and then on top of that, you're going to want to ask

for feedback. Those two things asking for permission and being open to feedback at

the end are what is going to draw the heart in your communication because

let's face it, the whole reason we're communicating is to be on the same sheet

of music and we're not on the same sheet of music, we fall out of harmony, there is

discord, sometimes contention, sometimes confusion and that's not the purpose of

any communication that I have ever found to be helpful. So while you're thinking

before you speak, remember to ask permission and be open for feedback and

ask for feedback because when someone feels heard, they feel that they're a

part of what is being created and when you can feel like you're a part of what

is being created, you are invested in the result. You want to know how to up level

your communication? Keep in mind that it starts with you.
