Youtube daily report Apr 5 2018

This is a quick review of the Snow Joe "Shovelution" 18-inch, clear, snow shovel.

It claims to reduce strain when shoveling so today I'm going to find out whether it's

a gimmick or indeed a "shovelution."

A few things while I'm assembling the shovel.

The instructions are here on the pole. I live in the Northeast. We are not

strangers to snow. I have a collection of snow shovels. They typically last about

two years. What happens is the rivets pop out, the blades wear down or tear off, and

the screws come out of the handle in which case the shovels become flimsy and

you can't use them. I was excited to try this Snow Joe product because I have

other Snow Joe products, for example this snow pusher for the top of the car.

It folds up and fits in the car. It does occasionally get loose while you're

using it, which is annoying, but I do like the product. This shovel comes with a

2-year warranty which can be extended by 90 days if you register it online.

Be careful when removing this zip tie here. This handle's under a lot of

pressure. You don't want to get a black eye.

Let's take it outside.

We're coming to the end of the season so this is probably the last chance I'll have to

use the shovel. I've had a chance to use it a bit and these are my findings.

I wouldn't say it's bad. I'd just say it's different.

The shovel is well made.

There's not as much tension in this as I thought.

I am experiencing some back strain.

What I'm noticing is... Normally when I shovel, I use more of my quads. In this case this

handle is causing me to use more of my bicep and arm.

It's causing me to lean

forward, which throws my weight forward putting strain on my back.

Want to make sure you keep this arm straight. You really should be using

your legs when you're shoveling.

My old shovel, this ergonomic shovel here, causes me to

get down and use my quads to lift and throw.

So the Snow Joe is not optimal in my case.

It gives me a different winter-wonderland workout than I'd normally get.

It causes me some strain in the back so I

would say it's just "different" than what I'm used to.

The shovel also has this convenient little strap to keep the handle up for storage.

And like I said, it is well made.

There's no shakiness. It's pretty solid.

Maybe if I just use it as a regular shuffle I'll be better off.

To wrap up, Snow Joe's "sling it and fling it" "Shovelution" is more gimmick than "shovel

revolution" in my opinion. While it's a well-made tool, it didn't reduce strain.

It actually caused me to use my biceps and other muscles I shouldn't be using to lift.

If I use this as a regular shovel, that'll work great for me.

I should point out that I'm 6 feet tall so sometimes I do require "tall boy" tools.

If this video has been helpful, please do me a favor and like it. And as always...

thank you so much for watching!

All I Need are Things I Like - Duration: 4:35.

Hating weekdays and liking weekend

Hating work and liking to fall back asleep

The thought that you can't go on just slacking off forever…

Is slowly receding from my consciousness

Hating veggies and liking hamburger steak

Hating barley tea and liking juice

Knowing that acting spoiled is no good, I still like sweet things…

It's written into the very first page of this life of mine

Eyes fixed solely on those things we like

Slowly our vision grows worse and worse

Satisfied completely by those favorite things of ours

Our brains are just atrophying away

All you need are the things you like

Everyone likes the things they like after all

All you need are the things you like

Everyone hates the things they hate of course

All you need are the things you like

It's true, all you need are the things you like

If all of humanity just did whatever they wanted,

I'm sure the world would fall to ruin, but…

All you need are the things you like

I really, truly like you

All you need are the things you like

And you like someone else

All you need are the things you like

I knew it, that's the one sticking point in all this

But then again, if all of humanity were to find happiness,

Surely the universe would be troubled

Hating angels and liking demons

Hating heaven and liking hell

Your tastes always were a bit different than usual

It seems that every one of us is crazy in our own way

Hating the living and liking machines

Hating the real and liking the virtual

Those one-sided interests of yours

They keep growing worse, to the point that all thought has seemingly ceased

Surrounded by the things we like

We become unable to accept those things we hate

If we only live following our own preferences,

We'll surely wind up hated by someone, somewhere

All you need are the things you like

Everyone likes the things they like after all

All you need are the things you like

Everyone hates the things they hate of course

All you need are the things you like

It's true, all you need are the things you like

If all of humanity just did whatever they wanted

I'm sure the world would fall to ruin, but…

All you need are the things you like

I want to always be smiling alongside my friends

All you need are the things you like

But the thing is, I don't actually have any of those

All you need are the things you like

I knew it, that's the one sticking point in all this

If all of humanity's wishes were granted,

The earth would surely explode

All you need are the things you like

All you need are the things you like

We had a promise to meet up

But I hate the rain, so I didn't go

If we had gone out somewhere, maybe something good would have happened

Just thoughts that will flash before my eyes on my deathbed

All you need are the things you like…

(All you need are the things you like…)

All you need are the things you like…

(All you need are the things you like…)

All you need are the things you like…

All you need are the things you like…

If all of humanity just did whatever they wanted,

I'm sure the world would fall to ruin, but…

All you need are the things you like

Everyone liked the things they liked

All you need are the things you like

Everyone hated the things they hated

All you need are the things you like

It's true, all you need are the things you like

When all of humanity just did whatever they wanted,

The world fell to ruin, but

All you need are the things you like

I really, truly liked you

All you need are the things you like

And you liked someone else

All you need are the things you like

I knew it, that's the one sticking point in all this

But then again, if all of humanity were to find happiness,

Surely the universe would be troubled

How to update Uconnect Radio with USB 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL - Duration: 6:47.

Did you know that you can update your you connect radio with just a USB and

the internet. Well today I'm gonna show you how. My name is Brandon With Jeep

Informant and today I'm gonna be showing you how to update your you connect radio

using just a USB and the internet access now for those of you who haven't

subscribed yet go ahead and do that down below and make sure you click the bell

icon so you don't miss any new Jeep information now in a previous video I

showed you how to check for updates but today I'm going to show you step by step

on how to actually update the radio when the update becomes available now there

are three radios that are eligible for updating via USB

that is the 5.0 you connect the 7.0 you connect and the large 8.4 you connect

now I'd be curious to know how many of you actually knew that you could update

your own radio with USB cast your vote up here in the top right corner now

there's three ways that you can update the radio we have an over-the-air update

we have a USB update and you can take it to the dealership and they use a USB now

as of today April the fourth which is actually jeep 4x4 day hey check my video

out up here on jeep 4x4 date I give you a cool little tip to go four-wheeling

there is an update for the 5.0 you connect radio system now unfortunately

it's only available for dealers right now and will be coming shortly for the

customers only drive you connect website I'm gonna be using a different VIN

number to give you an example of what it would look like when you do download it

and it's available alright so let's take it on over to the computer so go to your

search engine and type in Drive you connect tom so gonna hit this gonna take

us to the website we're gonna click on support then we're gonna click software

updates then we're gonna type in our full 17 character VIN number then we're

gonna click check for updates okay this right here is where it's gonna look a

little bit different from the Jeep Wrangler but

I'm currently using a 2017 charger for this demonstration purposes now the only

thing that you're gonna see different is the alpha numerical numbers here that

represent this specific update now let's go ahead and click the get started

button now this is going to take us to another page here where we have two

options to download and what's very important is not to choose option one do

not choose option one this is a very complicated process and gives you more

steps than you need to go through okay make sure that you choose option two

here this is the easier way let's go ahead and click option to view available

updates that's going to take us to another page here that says download

update now before we click on download update as you can see right here there

is detailed instructions on how to download this update I'm currently using

a Mac so if it differs from yours you might want to click this instruction

page to help you along the way now if we go ahead and click download update you

can see down in the bottom left hand corner that download is started now I am

using Google Chrome you may be using a different web browser but basically it's

going to be downloaded to the Downloads folder now here's where you're gonna

view the progress of the download now depending upon your internet speed it

could take anywhere from 8 to 12 minutes now I have fast forwarded this so if you

want to go ahead and click on the download that's going to start the

extraction in the files now once the files are extracted you will want to

move the extracted files to your USB Drive now your USB Drive must be free

and clear of any data there cannot be nothing on it and has to be a minimum of

16 gigabytes now this will take a few minutes for the data to be copied over

to the USB Drive now once that is finished we want to go to the USB that

we're using and verify that the data is in there and again there can be nothing

else on this jump drive or it will not work only these files that were

extracted now once you've verified that the files are on the USB Drive let's go

remove it and let's go out to the Jeep now it's the new Jeep Wrangler there are

multiple USB ports here in this media center there is the auxiliary port the

micro USB and the standard USB as you can see here above then a little number

one this is the number one USB port now if you move to the center console and

lift the secondary latch up you will see the number 2 USB port now for the USB

update the number one media hub Center USB port must be used the number 2 USB

port is only for charging there's no communications that go to this port now

another very important step is to have the engine running while you're doing

the update and the reason behind that is that the 2018 Jeep Wrangler has the

keyless go feature now if the key is in the run position and the engines not

running after 20 minutes the ignition will cycle to the off position now this

update can take a little bit longer than 20 minutes so that can be a problem

that's why the over-the-air update can also be a problem now once you plug in

the USB into the media center the radio will display the old version new version

and the amount of time that it will take to do this update now you want to click

on the yes button if you want to go ahead and update it now I did put this

on a time lapse and it took somewhere around 28 minutes total to update the

radio now there are some key things that you don't want to do while this is

updating you don't want to cycle the key turn the engine off you know it's

preferably just sitting in the driveway running doing this update if you're

going driving down the road or you're driving somewhere you know there may be

that chance that you get to where you're going and you accidentally cut it off

now this goes the same for the over-the-air update you can't turn that

off during the middle of it either so be careful either way you do it now that

the radio is completely finished you can see here that it's going to reboot

itself so once it goes to the reboot then it's back to normal and your radio

is completely up-to-date guys we're all finished here your radios up to date I

hope you enjoyed this video and it's very knowledgeable to you so I want to

thank you again for watching and have a great

des and hopefully you're smarter about your Jeep now than you was when you

started

Act 1 Duet from Mozart's 'Don Giovanni' | Juilliard Yannick Nézet-Séguin Vocal Arts Master Class - Duration: 25:37.

(singing in Italian)

(applause)

- Amazing, take it, take it, take it.

And you too.

Well, we're already in the action.

This is fantastic.

You really pulled us into the action.

And as you were making this

also wonderful with our orchestra here,

I was thinking, your intensity is the right one.

Now it does translate into a little bit

of everything being a little mmmh, right?

Which is normal, okay?

And you certainly don't wanna sing this like,

heh, okay, yeah, detached.

But there are some very interesting shadings in that duet,

especially, of course in the recits,

but I think we should go right from the fuggi,

and first do, and if we have time

we can, back more in the recit,

and trust more of the dynamics of Mozart.

Which means that, of course he doesn't write in your lines,

and some of them you did,

and I was like, well that's great.

For example,

But as it happens very often,

you establish a color, and that is not only you,

it's every singer.

It's not only singers, it's

instrumentalists, conductors, we all do the same.

We establish a color, it's very good.

It lasts two notes and then we're out of the color.

So actually, just let us take time

to get into these shades.

So let's detail it.

So I was thinking we should,

the facore and the fuggi, I love,

by the way, that was a great timing between these.

So we should maybe do this again, yeah that's good.

Okay, yeah, so the timing is good.

Take it like, I feel that this fuggi,

because you do such a great "F,"

it goes very much with the reaction like,

you don't understand what I'm talking about.

So it's like, FFOHH,

instead of just Fuh.

And don't worry, the conductor will get you,

because you have this great,

your body language will give it to me.

So, same place?

Jinhee, right?

Okay.

Very nice.

See, you don't need, you have such a great voice Felicia.

You don't need to give it all the time to us.

Like, we get it.

So you pull us

(laughter)

What?

- It's just funny.

- Really?

- Yeah.

- Okay, no but it's true,

sometimes it's just like, yeah,

I feel that we, because we're in a world

where everything comes at us,

like, it's there, it's loud enough, it's good, it's direct,

we forget that the experiment,

or the experience I should say,

in an opera house or in music that we do,

in theater, is also about pulling the people,

drawing them to us, instead of just like,

paff, we're gonna give it to you.

And we have bigger halls in America and da da da da.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with this.

I think it's just a question of concept.

So it's basically not to sing softer, it's more

You know? Inside.

Okay, so I just want to check one little thing here.

Sorry, I need to check back with the score,

but I'm pretty sure I know the fuggi.

Yeah, no that's good.

Okay, let me, 'cause I vaguely conduct now.

But you still do your thing.

I'm just the usual thing in the pit.

So, same place.

Mezzo forte now.

Yeah, yeah.

So, I love the way you feel it.

Charles, right?

Love the way you feel it, but the

da da dee da da da da da da,

this is, it's the second violins who do this,

you know, and this is your turmoil inside.

Your line in this moment is very lyrical.

So if you try to put too much into that,

the to ba de di di di da,

you're almost in conflict with the orchestra.

So it's more you try to reassure, in a way, you know?

So, guaardaa, instead of guarda.

Okay, so right from the centi.

Let's give one bar before centi, okay?

Yeah, beautiful.

I'm sorry to interrupt the orchestra.

But this is what we do, conductors,

we talk too much and we interrupt the orchestra.

You do it so well, this appoggiatura.

Same for you actually Charles,

but Felicia, I've noted that you do, le penne.

So actually you give it the pain,

because this appoggiatura is all about the pain.

Whenever we get this it's like the salt to just mmhh.

If you elongate the note after,

it almost kills the effect, it's just,

it neutralizes the effect, right?

So, I loved your line, and this,

I mean you sound great in this, and it's not

- Cool, thanks.

- Can you still hear him?

Duh, yeah, okay.

Okay, so here, one of the genius moments of Mozart

is that the three bars of Jinhee

are actually your thought in padre.

So now I feel that you're not necessarily,

you're listening to her, I can see it, which is beautiful,

but you're not using it as much.

You should maybe want to, il padre, la.

So it's a body thing but it's more like

the kind of breathing you will take

to get a different lascia.

So, da da dee da da da dee.

Now take it, take it.

Yeah, now, can you do even more?

Okay, now I went off voice.

I'm not asking you to go off the voice, you know,

but just more this forte piano.

And then mezzo forte.

Because now it sounds diminuendo and normal piano.

And all those details will make sense of how

the figure, the father and the lover and the husband

and the nervous, reassuring.

I mean it's such a complex character,

and Don Ottavio, I still feel, is underestimated.

Right? Okay, good.

Yeah, okay.

No but it's true.

They say, oh he's weak.

No, he isn't, but it's just,

what do you do with this situation?

So it's all, of course, you know,

it's predictable I would say this.

It's all in the music.

But it's true, it's true.

So let's just exaggerate that for the moment.

So, il padre, right on il padre.

Now take it and slow breath.

Bravo.

Love this.

Now, legato.

Thank you, beautiful.

Now, just want to underline what you just did,

which you followed the ya-da, ya-da.

It's very important that little sigh,

because at the beginning we're more di-ya, di-ya.

The articulations here.

Let's continue.

Okay, so, in a recit like this,

of course, I appreciate that you wanna follow me.

But I'm actually more, we have always to remember

that these were written, designed

precisely not to need a conductor.

Nowadays, unfortunately, we sort of

pretend to make ourselves indispensable.

We can elaborate about that later.

I'm really not flattering to my profession, am I?

But actually, I'm here just to facilitate

what you will make as a statement.

And I hear that you have it here completely.

Like, to pull it back so that the maestos all make sense.

So now you are sort of doubting.

I just go with you, dum pa pa pum pum pum.

Then Jinhee doesn't need me, doesn't need anyone, right?

So, same.

Good, good.

I love the spacing.

Just a little more intention.

It was more, noooo, my note is nice.

I sound gooood.

Sorry, that's a, no.

See, he agrees.

You do sound good though, both of you.

Let's just do from there.

Yeah.

Yeah.

You know, these phrase offs, really important.

It's one of my pet peeves, unfortunately,

but I'm happy you react to this, because da da,

and the next one is the worst, in opera,

all the history of every opera.

Not too much but, right? Okay.

So let's do de do de doo.

And keep it open though.

Yeah, that's it.

And not too fast.

Good, good, good good good.

But now, you really can do this.

You have it in your voice and it's fantastic.

If it starts to sound pum pum pum pum,

it doesn't have the same breathless feeling.

So, right on this.

Okay, yeah, maybe that's a better place.

That's a better place.

I think you're very, you give it all.

I would be scared.

Brunhilda just said, no but what I mean,

it was not a reference to your voice, which could be,

but actually, it is very strong.

If you are not to do any embellishment on this,

hold it.

This you can give.

It's like, okay.

I think there needs, like oh, do I wanna go there?

Yes I want, so good for you.

So yum pum pum.

Good.

And stay piano.

And keep the color.

Up, up, up.

Can you do it more legato?

- Sure.

- Otherwise everything is rhythmical.

Beautiful Felicia.

Because then you give a chance to your colleague.

Otherwise that note is just like in the theater, waaah.

And then, we see the tenor, but you know.

And it's, again, it's not because you sound less,

so that we understand, right?

You have actually really perfectly matched voices.

It's just it's, yeah.

So just from a, let's do

And really in the, hah, hah.

Yeah, wonderful.

(applause)

Wonderful.

Superb, superb, really.

Superb.

And you too, superb.

Take it, take it, take it.

Great.

Opening Remarks by Brian Zeger | Juilliard Yannick Nézet-Séguin Vocal Arts Master Class - Duration: 3:08.

(audience applauds)

- Thank you so much.

Thank you. Good afternoon.

I'm Brian Zeger, artistic director of the Marcus Institute

for Vocal Arts here at Juilliard.

I want to extend a warm welcome to all of you here live.

And all of you out in the great world of the Internet

through Medici TV who we're very,

very thrilled to be partnering with.

I'm also thrilled to welcome Ellen Marcus here,

whose gift, along with her late husband Jim Marcus,

had such an important impact on our program.

And in fact, we have many donors here whose

support is very, very meaningful to us

and has everything to do with the quality you're

about to witness in a few minutes.

Let me give you a little bit of

philosophy behind this class.

A few years ago, we had produced our

umpteenth class with our umpteenth marvelous solo singer.

I bet many of you have seen masterclasses over the years,

and perhaps stretching all the way back to

Maria Callas's historic classes here

at Juilliard about 50 years ago.

But we've had some magnificent singers with us.

Renee Fleming, Joyce DiDonato, Eric Owens,

the list goes on and on and on.

And the usual format is that one very nervous

young singer comes out--

(audience laughs)

And presents a solo, and of course,

is helped by the master teacher enormously.

But I had the idea that we were missing a great opportunity,

because we have some very, very important conductors

associated with Juilliard, here in New York,

who have so much to offer in terms of musical wisdom

in the way that singers need to work to build an ensemble.

'Cause so much of opera takes place

actually between the arias

where they're singing with each other,

in ensembles, in duets, in dramatic scenes,

that the chance to learn from a great maestro,

like today's master teacher, Yannick Nezet-Seguin,

is an incredible educational opportunity

and artistic opportunity for our students.

And we are very, very grateful for this extraordinarily

busy maestro to share his time with us.

I'm sure many of you know that he is the music director

designate of the Metropolitan Opera,

as well as the music director of the Philadelphia Orchestra.

And the thing you may not know about him,

as many times as you've seen him conduct so marvelously,

is he is also a born teacher.

He has a gift of communication,

an ability to get to the heart of the music

and convey it to a young person in

a very direct and special way.

So we're incredibly lucky to have maestro with us.

Just before we welcome him,

could I please remind you to turn off your phones.

Check, in case you're not sure,

I'm usually the one who errs,

so I'm quite cognizant of that.

Anyway, we're incredibly lucky

to have Yannick Nezet-Seguin with us.

Would you please give him a warm welcome?

(audience applauds)

(audience cheers)
