((RE9630/08:42:31/YOU'RE ALWAYS
GIVEN A PONCHO, AND REGARDLESS
OF THE WEATHER, YOU GET WET, SO
YOU NEED TO PREPARE FOR THAT.
AND WE ALWAYS TELL PEOPLE TO
WEAR SENSIBLE FOOTWEAR. WE'VE
GOT NEW NON-SKID DECKING THAT'S
BEEN INSTALLED ON BOTH OF THE
BOATS. 08:42:42)) BOTH THE MAID
OF THE MIST SIX AND THE MAID OF
THE MIST SEVEN ALSO HAVE NEW
COATS OF PAINT -- AND ALL THE
RECENT ENGINE TUNE UPS THEY NEED
TO BE READY TO CARRY PASSENGERS
THIS SEASON.
((08:43:00 EACH MAID OF THE MIST
HAS TWIN ENGINES, THOSE ENGINES
ARE VERY CAREFULLY MAINTAINED,
SO THEY'RE VERY THOUROUGHLY
INSPECTED, AND THERE'S A LOT OF
SAFETY THAT IS LOOKED AT IN THE
OFFSEASON TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL
THE SAFETY MEASURES ARE TAKEN
CARE OF. 08:43:16)) THE SAFETY
INSPECTIONS CONTINUE RIGHT UP
THROUGH TODAY. WITH THE BOATS
NOW ON THE WATER AHEAD OF THE
START OF THE SEASON -- BOTH THE
COAST GUARD AND MARINE CANADA
ARE RUNNING THEM THROUGH THEIR
PACES TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE READY
TO GO -- FOR FIRST TIME AND LONG
TIME VISITORS ALIKE.

HISTORY -- THANKS TO A MILD
WINTER. THE PREVIOUS RECORD FOR
EARLIEST OPENING DAY WAS
ACTUALLY SET LAST YEAR -- WHEN
THE BOATS LAUNCHED APRIL 2ND.
LAST YEAR ALSO BROKE ANOTHER
RECORD -- FOR MOST RIDERS IN A
SEASON -- 1.6 MILLION PEOPLE
CAME FROM ALL OVER THE GLOBE TO
GIVE IT A TRY.
((08:43:53 THAT'S PART OF THE
EXPERIENCE IS TO BE AROUND
PEOPLE FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES

Irish Words Can Mutate! - Duration: 5:46.
A Celtic quiz for you. Does this Irish name start with the sound p, the sound b, or the sound f?
Awww, you knew it was a trick question, huh? Indeed, Irish words can do something
quite unusual. They can mutate their starting sounds.
I'm busy piecing together the epic history of Gaeilge. Tugging at threads, grasping for
one that ties everything together, I'm noticing I barely have time for name drops.
Proto-Celtic - boom - next!
Ogham - boom - next!
Mutation - BOOM - no, no, wait.
Let's explore that one.
In its preliterate days, about the most traumatic thing to happen to the start of Irish words
was that its p's fell off. Without this process today we'd be speaking of Pireland! So while
Rome said piscis and pater, Irish has iasc and athair. Even Ireland's oldest writing
system is missing a sign for that p. But, otherwise, this Ogham script has neat syllables
and beautiful inflected Celtic endings.
Just a couple hundred years later though, Goídelc emerged with a mystery. It was suddenly
so different that it left linguists stumped how Irish could've changed this fast from
Ogham. Out of the blue, or the emerald green, come manuscripts filled with mutations.
Mutations that Irish will never let go of. They come in two flavors. First, soft. That's
a flavor? Séimhiú, lenition, weakens letters into fricatives
or even glides: clann, mo clann.
Deas, dheas. Tú, thú. Some lenitions have changed since Old Irish, like h and ɣ
were once th and dh. We even lost my favorite lenition: today's wɔːr was once ṽoːr.
The old cló settled on marking lenition with a dot. Nowadays, you plop in an h.
Mutation number two is urú, literally darkening or "eclipse". Eclipse automatically turns
any voiceless sound voiced. P, t, c become b, d, g: poc, bpoc, croí, gcroí. Voiced
consonants turn nasal: bóthar, mbóthar. Gaeilge, nGaeilge.
If you count like this book, you'll find a third mutation: hhhaspiration. This one's
about vowels, specifically adding h to vowels after some words that end in a vowel.
Kind of breaks up the two vowels: Old Irish ed but ní hed. And modern Éireann, but na hÉireann.
What makes mutations especially devious is that they're triggered by grammar. If you
asked an Old Irish scribe whose "tech" this is, you better have known the difference between
masculine a /θʲ/ech, feminine a /tʲ/ech and plural a /dʲ/ech! And Modern Irish?
Oh yes, it keeps doing this: a theach, a teach agus a dteach!
This happens go leor. Mac means a son. Muc is a pig. You say an mac but... an mhuc. Why?
Because feminine! Some words trigger an eclipse instead: i bPáras, i mBaile Átha Cliath,
i bhFlorida.
You will be is beidh tú. But if I ask, it's an mbeidh tú?
And if you won't, ní bheidh tú.
With no word for "yes" or "no", mutations are a must.
Where do these transfigurations come from? Recall that those early elegant grammatical
inflections had eroded. This often left Old Irish nothing more than a slender consonant
to mark a meaningful difference: macc, maicc, dún, dúin.
With its endings crumbling around it, Irish noticed something, and just in time: the very
words that triggered these endings had also been messing with beginnings. Triggers ending
in a vowel, like the feminine article, had been softening the next sound: an mac, an mhuc.
Triggers in a nasal, naturally, turned the next sound nasal: Gaeilge, i nGaeilge.
Now, with beginnings in place, triggers themselves were free to erode or even vanish entirely.
Irish had evolved a new way to do grammar.
And when did this happen?
Ask Welsh. Look! Cymraeg has mutations, too!
Well then, clearly these must be inherited,
part of their shared Common Celtic ancestry. I'm told not. Instead,
their parents gave them the tools. Time provided the problem.
Each language came up with its own own solution.
So when you shout to Pádraig, remember to use the vocative: a Phádraig!
When you speak from the heart: ó mo chroí.
And when something's in Irish, it's i nGaeilge.
Stick around and subscribe for language.

When To Use A Qualitative Research Design? 4 Things To Consider - Duration: 7:32.
WELCOME TO ANOTHER ANYWAYS RANDOM VIDEO!
TODAY WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT WHEN
SHOULD WE USE A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
DESIGN. THERE ARE FOUR THINGS TO CONSIDER.
A HARDCORE RESEARCH INSTRUCTOR OR
PROFESSOR WOULD SAY YOU SHOULD USE A
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN ONLY WHEN
YOUR RESEARCH QUESTION CALLS FOR A
QUALITATIVE DESIGN, BECAUSE YOU SEE -- THE
METHODOLOGICAL CHOICES WE MAKE IN TERMS
OF HOW TO INVESTIGATE AND ANSWER A
QUESTION DEPEND ON WHAT THAT QUESTION
IS. IT IS NOT ABOUT WHAT METHODOLOGICAL
APPROACH YOU PREFER; IT IS ABOUT WHAT
APPROACH IS LOGICALLY REQUIRED BY THE
RESEARCH QUESTION. THAT IS ALL GOOD
AND TRUE, BUT WHAT THEY FORGOT TO TELL
YOU IS THAT AS THE RESEARCHER YOU
ACTUALLY GET TO ASK THAT QUESTION
YOURSELF, WHICH MEANS, IF I WANT TO, I CAN
SIMPLY FORMULATE MY RESEARCH QUESTION IN
A WAY THAT MAKES IT FIT WITH MY
METHODOLOGICAL PREFERENCES. SO, LET'S FORGET
ABOUT WHAT HAPPENS IN A THEORETICAL
REALM; LET'S NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT
EPISTEMOLOGY OR ONTOLOGY; LET'S FORGET ABOUT
WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN. IN THIS VIDEO, LET'S
TALK ABOUT REALITY; LET'S BE HONEST AND
DISCUSS IN PRACTICE WHEN WE COULD
LEGITIMATELY USE A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
DESIGN AND COMFORTABLY PRODUCE A
SATISFACTORY DISSERTATION. FACTOR NUMBER
ONE: WE SHOULD SERIOUSLY CONSIDER A
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN IF WE DON'T
LIKE STATISTICS. IF YOU HATE NUMBERS
AND IF YOU ARE TERRIBLE AT MATH, BUT YOU DO
HAVE AN AFFILIATION WITH LANGUAGE AND
WRITING, THEN FORGET ABOUT A
QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN, PURSUE A
QUALITATIVE STUDY FOR YOUR DISSERTATION.
THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH
PLAYING YOUR STRENGTHS AND STAYING
INSIDE THE COMFORT ZONE. THERE IS A
REASON WHY IT'S CALLED THE COMFORT ZONE,
WE ARE IN IT, WE ARE IN CONTROL; WE STEP OUT
OF IT, WE TEND TO LOSE CONTROL, WE TAKE
RISKS AND WE MAKE MISTAKES. SO DON'T
BELIEVE THE HYPE -- THAT YOU CAN ONLY LEARN
AND GROW WHEN YOU ARE OUT OF YOUR
COMFORT ZONE. THAT'S NOT TRUE! IN FACT, IF
YOU LOOK AT HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
ENTREPRENEURS, OR BUSINESS PEOPLE,
OR POLITICIANS, OR ARTISTS, OR WRITERS, OR WHATEVER,
NONE OF THEM ACHIEVED THEIR SUCCESS FROM
OUTSIDE THEIR COMFORT ZONES OR BY DOING
THINGS THAT THEY ARE NOT GOOD AT! YOU
PLAY ON YOUR STRENGTH -- YOU DO WHAT YOU'RE
GOOD AT AND YOU IMPROVE IT AND YOU GET
EVEN BETTER AT IT! SO IF WE'RE NOT REALLY
GOOD WITH STATS AND QUANTS, THEN WE
SHOULD CHOOSE A QUALITATIVE DESIGN.
QUALITATIVE STUDIES CAN ALSO BE
ACADEMICALLY RIGOROUS AND PUBLISHABLE.
LET'S BE HONEST HERE -- MOST BACHELOR
STUDENTS DON'T WRITE THEIR
DISSERTATIONS IN ORDER TO GET PUBLISHED,
THEY WRITE THEIR DISSERTATION TO
GRADUATE. AND LET'S BE EVEN MORE HONEST
HERE -- MOST UNIVERSITIES
DON'T NEED THEIR BACHELOR STUDENTS TO
PUBLISH THEIR RESEARCH, THEY NEED THEIR
BACHELOR STUDENTS TO GRADUATE AND THAT'S
THE TRUTH. SO FACTOR NUMBER ONE: IF
SOMEONE IS A TERRIBLE STATISTICIAN, GO WITH
QUALITATIVE! FACTOR NUMBER TWO: YOU SHOULD
CONSIDER A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN
IF YOUR SUPERVISOR OR COACH OR ADVISOR
OR WHATEVER YOUR UNIVERSITY CALLS THAT
PERSON -- IF THAT PERSON HAS EXCLUSIVELY OR
PRIMARILY PUBLISHED ONLY QUALITATIVE
RESEARCH, THAT'S ANOTHER FACTOR THAT
SHOULD INDICATE TO US THAT WE MIGHT WANT
TO CHOOSE A QUALITATIVE DESIGN FOR THE
DISSERTATION. THE REASON FOR THAT IS -- IF
YOUR TEACHER OR PROFESSOR IS A
QUALITATIVE RESEARCHER THEMSELF,
CHANCES ARE THEY DON'T REALLY KNOW THAT
MUCH ABOUT QUANTITATIVE METHODS, AND
THEREFORE, THEY CANNOT SUPERVISE YOU AND
SUPPORT YOU VERY EFFECTIVELY IF YOU
CHOOSE TO DO A QUANTITATIVE STUDY. IN THE
CURRENT WORLD OF HIGHER EDUCATION AND
ACADEMIA, AS FAR AS I CAN SEE AND IN MY
HUMBLE OPINION AND OBSERVATION, THERE IS
STILL A CLEAR DIVIDE BETWEEN THE QUANTS
AND THE QUALS. THE QUANTITATIVE PEOPLE
DON'T REALLY KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT
QUALITATIVE STUFF AND THE QUALITATIVE
PEOPLE PROBABLY KNOW EVEN LESS ABOUT
QUANTITATIVE STUFF. NOT ONLY THAT, MANY OF
THEM ACTUALLY LOOK DOWN UPON THE OTHER
SIDE AND THEY BELIEVE THAT THEIR APPROACH IS
SUPERIOR AND THEY THINK THE OTHER SIDE
IS SILLY. THERE ARE CERTAINLY
EXCEPTIONS!!! BUT GENERALLY SPEAKING,
THIS IS STILL VERY MUCH THE CASE. AND IN
A WAY, IT IS VERY NATURAL AND
UNDERSTANDABLE, BECAUSE NOBODY CAN BE
GOOD AT EVERYTHING. PEOPLE DEVELOP AND
POSSESS DIFFERENT EXPERTISE, FOCUSES AND
PREFERENCES IN TERMS OF RESEARCH AND
RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES. SO, IF YOU WISH TO
TAKE FULL ADVANTAGE OF THE KNOWLEDGE,
EXPERTISE, EXPERIENCE, AND SUPERVISION OF
YOUR PROFESSOR, AND IF THAT PERSON IS A
QUALITATIVE PERSON, YOU MIGHT WANT TO
CONSIDER PURSUING A QUALITATIVE DESIGN
YOURSELF. FACTOR NUMBER THREE: IF YOU ARE
LEANING TOWARDS A QUALITATIVE DESIGN AND
IF YOUR SUPERVISOR IS ALSO A QUALITATIVE
RESEARCHER, THEN THE NEXT THING WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE IS THAT OUR CENTRAL
RESEARCH QUESTION NEEDS TO BE FORMULATED
IN A WAY THAT FITS A QUALITATIVE DESIGN.
THIS IS SOMETHING ALREADY TOUCHED ON
AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS VIDEO, SOME RESEARCH
QUESTIONS JUST SIMPLY WON'T WORK WITH A
QUALITATIVE DESIGN. IF OUR RESEARCH
QUESTION IS HIGHLY CAUSAL OR IF WE'RE
DOING A DESCRIPTIVE STUDY WHICH DEMANDS
HIGH LEVELS OF PRECISION AND ACCURACY,
THEN WE SIMPLY CANNOT USE A QUALITATIVE
APPROACH. SO, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE
FORMULATE A CENTRAL RESEARCH QUESTION
THAT IS EXPLORATORY AND INDUCTIVE. IN
OTHER WORDS, WE WANT TO BE LOOKING INTO
SOMETHING ABOUT WHICH THERE IS RATHER
LITTLE PRIOR LITERATURE AND RESEARCH;
SOMETHING ABOUT WHICH WE CAN EXPLORE A
BIT. FOR EXAMPLE, HOW CERTAIN NEW
TECHNOLOGIES ARE BEING UTILIZED IN A
PARTICULAR FIELD AND HOW PEOPLE PERCEIVE
OF THAT; OR HOW PEOPLE RESPOND TO A NEW
SOCIAL PHENOMENON THAT HAD NEVER
OCCURRED BEFORE. WE WANT TO BE FOCUSING
ON SOMETHING ABOUT WHICH WE HAVE NO
CLEAR EXPECTATIONS; ON WHICH WE CANNOT
FORMULATE HYPOTHESES; THINGS WE CANNOT
DIRECTLY COUNT OR MEASURE. I MADE AN
EARLIER VIDEO ABOUT DIFFERENT TYPES OF
RESEARCH QUESTIONS, WHICH YOU CAN CHECK
OUT HERE, I'LL PUT A LINK SOMEWHERE
THE SCREEN. I MIGHT ALSO MAKE ANOTHER
VIDEO IN THE FUTURE LISTING OUT SOME
GOOD EXAMPLES OF QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
QUESTIONS. BUT FOR NOW LET'S JUST SAY
QUALITATIVE RESEARCH QUESTIONS NEED TO
BE EXPLORATORY AND INDUCTIVE. AND WE NEED
SOMETHING LIKE THAT TO FIT OUR PREFERRED
QUALITATIVE DESIGN. FACTOR NUMBER
FOUR: BE PREPARED FOR SOME PRETTY
COMPLICATED COMPLEX MESSY TROUBLESOME
EVEN STRANGE AND ECCENTRIC QUALITATIVE
DATA ANALYSIS. IF STATISTICAL ANALYSIS IS
NOT FOR EVERYBODY, WELL, QUALITATIVE
ANALYSIS IS ALSO NOT FOR EVERYBODY. YOU
KNOW, THE GOOD THING WITH QUANTITATIVE
DATA ANALYSIS IS THAT WE KNOW WE WILL BE
DEALING WITH NUMBERS. QUALITATIVE DATA, ON
THE OTHER HAND, CAN BE ALMOST ANYTHING --
STORIES, TEXTS, NARRATIVES, PICTURES, VIDEOS,
DRAWINGS, PAINTINGS, EVEN DREAMS...
QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS IS COMPLICATED,
EVEN IF WE JUST TALK ABOUT ANALYZING
TEXTUAL DATA LIKE INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTS,
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT PROBABLY A HUNDRED
OR MORE PAGES OF TEXTS, AND THEN THE
CODING -- OPEN CODING, AXIAL CODING,
THE SELECTIVE CODING, ALL THE SENSE
MAKING, MODEL BUILDING, IT AIN'T EASY. IF
YOU DO A QUALITATIVE STUDY, YOU MIGHT SAVE
SOME TIME BY NOT HAVING TO LEARN
STATISTICS, BUT YOU ARE CERTAINLY GOING
TO PUT IN A LOT OF TIME IN TERMS OF
QUALITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS. AND ONE MORE
THING HERE, WHEN IT COMES TO QUANTITATIVE
DATA ANALYSIS, YOU CAN USUALLY GET
SOMEBODY TO HELP YOU. I MEAN IF ONE
OF YOUR FRIENDS IS GOOD WITH STATISTICS
AND KNOWS HOW THE SOFTWARE WORKS, THEN IT
DOESN'T TAKE A WHOLE LOT OF TIME FOR
THEM TO RUN THE ANALYSIS FOR YOU. BUT
WHEN IT COMES TO QUALITATIVE DATA
ANALYSIS, PROBABLY NOBODY'S GOING TO RUN
THE ANALYSIS FOR YOU. AND THIS IS BECAUSE
IT TAKES MUCH TIME AND THERE'S REALLY NO
SHORTCUTS. IN OTHER WORDS, FOR
QUANTITATIVE DATA ANALYSIS, FOR AN EXPERT,
IT DOESN'T TAKE HIM OR HER A WHOLE LOT
OF TIME TO RUN THE ANALYSIS. FOR
QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS, IT WILL PROBABLY
TAKE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME FOR AN
EXPERT AND A NON-EXPERT TO PERFORM THE
SAME ANALYSIS ON THE SAME DATA SET. THERE
IS NO SHORTCUT.
SO YOU WILL HAVE TO PUT IN THE TIME
YOURSELF. IF YOU CAN HANDLE THAT AND IF
YOU THINK IT IS FUN AND INTERESTING AND
ENJOYABLE TO PERFORM QUALITATIVE
ANALYSIS, THEN QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
DESIGNS ARE INDEED FOR YOU. SO THESE ARE
THE FOUR FACTORS IN MY VIEW THAT WOULD
INDICATE WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD PURSUE
A QUALITATIVE RESEARCH DESIGN FOR THE
DISSERTATION. TO RECAP: FOUR QUESTIONS -- DO YOU
HATE STATISTICS? IS YOUR PROFESSOR A
QUALITATIVE RESEARCHER? IS YOUR RESEARCH
QUESTION FORMULATED AS AN EXPLORATORY
INDUCTIVE QUESTION? AND DO YOU LIKE AND DO
YOU THINK YOU CAN HANDLE QUALITATIVE
ANALYSIS? IF YOUR ANSWERS TO ALL THESE
FOUR QUESTIONS ARE YES, THEN RUN WITH
QUALITATIVE. LET ME END WITH A LITTLE
QUOTE HERE -- NOT EVERYTHING CAN BE COUNTED
COUNTS AND NOT EVERYTHING THAT COUNTS
CAN BE COUNTED. OKAY, EVERYBODY THANKS SO
MUCH FOR WATCHING, PLEASE LIKE AND
SUBSCRIBE, AND I WILL SEE YOU NEXT TIME! :-)

Nashville Treats: S'mores Sundae, Ice Cream Sandwiches and Doughnuts | Food Network - Duration: 3:05.
[music playing]
TRAVIS MCSHANE: The brownie being warmed up
in the wood fire oven kind of brings
you back to your childhood.
You get that smokiness that you get from a campfire s'more.
Meanwhile, we toast one side of our marshmallows.
It's a kind of a nostalgic dessert to a lot of people here
in Nashville, but the cool thing about it is,
whereas a classic s'more is hot all the way through,
this gives you that relief from the summer
heat with that nice scoop of ice cream in the middle.
It's that perfect timing of the hot, the cold, melting.
It hits the table and you have like that two minutes that's
just like a perfect bite.
But it never lasts two minutes at the table anyways.
Everybody races to eat it as fast as they possibly can.
You can taste that somebody put their time
and love into making this.
JAKE VILE: We are a specific niche here in town.
We're the only company here in Nashville that
delivers hot cookies fresh.
I enjoy the cookie business because it makes people happy.
It's a great business to be in.
Everybody loves to see the cookie guy
and that, in turn, makes me happy.
We use all-natural ingredients, real butter,
Belgian chocolate, sugar.
Those are the basis of a great-tasting cookie.
People look at me and think I don't eat my cookies,
but I have had meals of my cookies.
Every time I'm in here, three or four cookies.
It's hard.
The polar bake is an ice cream sandwich
with Mike's Ice Cream, which is a local Nashville
ice cream maker.
Chocolate chip cookies and vanilla ice cream is our most
popular ice cream sandwich.
But we've seen some ice cream sandwiches that you
would consider bizarre as well.
That's OK.
We don't judge here.
Chocolate chip is definitely our best seller.
It is delicious.
It is a little underdone in the middle,
and it's a little crispy on the outside.
If you want cookies, we're the best in town.
KAYLA MAY: So my morning starts at 5:00 in the morning.
I'm the first one here.
I unlock the doors, turn on the lights.
And then I get into the kitchen.
The donuts are one of the first things we do,
because they have to mix and proof.
And then we have to have them fried and ready to go
by 10:00 AM when brunch starts.
It's a classic yeasted donut dough.
It's a little sweet, but you've got vanilla and salt in there.
When you fry the donuts, if there are any bigger air
pockets, they expand in the heat from the fryer,
and you just give the basket a little shake,
and they do little somersaults in the fryer.
They're served rolled in cinnamon sugar.
There's a good amount of salt in the cinnamon sugar as well.
It helps bring out the flavor.
It's soft.
It's got some nice structure to it.
It's got little air bubbles in it.
Sugar is crunchy.
It's got a nice kick of salt to it.
That is pretty good.
Yeah, it's a delicious donut.

KISS Principle 95% Diet 5% Workout | Powerful Core Food Plan Lesson #4 - Duration: 2:14.
In today's lesson you will learn about the KISS Principle.
Let me start with a personal story.
My teachers all throughout grade school would say, "make sure you are not giving yourself
too much work.
Keep It Simple, Stupid.
"
Keeping it simple for yourself is one key principle behind this program.
You should not be causing yourself endless amounts of work by obsessively counting your
calories and trying to find out your body measurements everyday.
Although it is important to do both at certain times in the plan, you must understand the
KISS Principle when it is of the essence.
Now believe me when I say this.
Transforming yourself is based on 95% of what you eat, and 5% of working out.
Keep it simple stupid.
Focus the majority of your time on yourself and eating at the designated times.
Wake up.
Eat a meal within 90 minutes.
Eat another every 4 hours.
Workout within some period of time throughout the day.
Just make sure that you try to stop eating 2 hours before you go to bed.
Does that sound difficult?
Absolutely not.
Especially if you already have the foods weighed, prepped, and in the freezer ahead of time.
Trust me.
I would not be eating the way I am everyday if I did not have a plan set up beforehand.
My mother always says that I eat more then I have ever eaten before.
I do not cut myself off.
I eat like a king.
I am constantly full, and sometimes, I don't even feel like eating my meals every four
hours.
However, I do because I know I will be hungry late at night if I do not.
I keep it simple for myself so that I do not have to put more work into things in the long
run.
Remember: 95% nutrition and 5% working out.
I strongly believe that if you fuel your body appropriately with the correct nutrients then
it will reward you.
The right amount of Macros in your system allows your body to constantly burn calories,
even if you're sleeping!
Follow the above rule of 95 and 5 and you will make your life easier.
However, when you are working out, you better work your ass off, because that 5% does not
come easy.
This is why the workouts have been developed to challenge you in the first place.
So keep it simple!
Follow the plan, and you will have results in some fashion.
You have successfully completed lesson 3.
We look forward to seeing you in the next lesson.

Cinnamon Challenge SUCCESS - Turn Subtitles On - Duration: 3:14.
No idea why Paul decided to use this video filter...
Luckily, Edgy took one without an arty filter on it...
Not holding my breath, just concentrating on NOT spitting it out...
Man, that burned... burned like chilli.
How can cinnamon burn that much?
Chewing was very tricky!
It was at this point that every part of my mouth suddenly went very, very dry.
Hand down? No-one said anything about hands!
Every part of my brain said "spit it out!"
Even my teeth were dry.
Chewing did not work... it released more powder...
Time limit, are you kidding me?
How much is still in there?
All of it. I hadn't swallowed a damn thing.
A throat massage might have helped...
... if I had any saliva to speak of.
Jumping? Why did I jump?
Perhaps to get gravity to help out?
Sniffing like crazy because jumping made it go up my nose.
Didn't stop me from jumping some more, though.
Idiot.
Okay, chewing is starting to be possible now...
"I got this."
"I don't got this."
Rubbing my cheeks to activate some saliva.
Throat! Swallow!
Okay, it had finally turned into a paste of some kind.
I was through, just had to finish it off.
But don't think it didn't still hurt!
Almost there...
Jumping again... no idea why this time...
Excited perhaps?
That $40 is all mine!
It was honestly 2 hours before I could taste anything again.
First time...
... last time.

Muslim scientists Ep 22 (Al khwaresmi) - Duration: 12:56.
(Muhammad Ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi) Part 1
Persia embraced the Islamic religion
and became a part of the powerful Islamic Nation
and from this nation, lots of Islamic scientists came out
like our scientist, who belongs to the Xorazm city,
which is one of the cities located in Persia,
He is Muhammad Ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi,
one of the most famous mathematicians in the world
Let's go Muhammad! We have to finish to quickly catch the caravan
I'm more concerned with catching up with the tribe than you, Dad
As I have always dreamed of traveling to (Baghdad)
There, I will be seeking after knowledge
Your willingness to learn is one of the reasons
that made me think seriously about moving to live in Baghdad
also, job opportunities there
are better than the opportunities that are available in this small town
O "Muhammad"! O "Muhammad"!
Did you take any money from the money parcel that was on the table?
No, Mother! What's the matter?
There was 150 Dinars in the money parcel
and I've bought some food that would last for the trip for 45 Dinars
but now there is only 90 Dinars in the money parcel!
this means that there is 15 Dinars missing!
-Yes! - Wait a minute!
You bought some food for 45 Dinars,
then we paid the porter 2 Dinars
to deliver what we bought to the house
and we spent 3 Dinars to buy a gunny sack to fill it with food
- Did you forget? - We are still missing 10 Dinars!
Isn't it the caravan's fare ?
Yes, I remember.
I took it without telling you, (Umm Muhammad)
Tell me next time, so that I wouldn't think that I'm the one who lost it
How did you know about that, Muhammad?
I didn't know!
I just thought about the stuff on which we had spent the money
and I did my calculations to reach to this rational conclusion.
Smart! Indeed you are smart, Muhammad!
you will certainly have a better chance in Baghdad!
The Al khwarezmi didn't waste any time,
and as soon as he arrived to Baghdad
he started acquiring knowledge
Day after day, his knowledge grew
and his perceptions developed
you are almost done with all the materials that were written by the Greek scientists
in arithmetic and mathematics.
Can you give me a final test, Teacher?
and what do you want me to test you in?
In Diophantine equations
The equations of the Greek Scientist (Diophantus)!?
and did you read what he had written in arithmetic and algebra?
Yes!
After I finish this class
I go to another teacher who only teaches me what Diophantus wrote.
How can I possibly be interested in algebra and arithmetic,
without studying the achievements of the first man who wrote in this science?
- OK. - I will write you an equation for you
and I hope you can solve it.
- Come on! - You may start now!
Ok!
Here you go, Sir!
Amazing! Amazing! Your answer is correct!
I didn't expect that you will be that good in this field of science!
I've good news for you, Muhammad!
Obviously, you will surpass your teachers!
I can tell this from my experience!
If I didn't have any teachers, I wouldn't be successful!
We must give credit where credit is due, Sir
God bless you and your knowledge, Muhammad!
In Baghdad, there was another opportunity waiting for Al-Khwarizmi
to seek knowledge to his satisfaction
( The House of Wisdom)
- May Allah's peace be upon you - May Allah's peace , mercy and blessing be upon you!
Welcome, O Hard-Working Young Man!
Now you know me very well, Sir!
I won't deserve to be responsible for such a huge library
like The House of Wisdom
If I don't notice someone who comes to the library very frequently like you do
- Whats your name, Young Man?
Muhammad. Muhammad Ibn Musa Al-Khwarizmi.
Oh from Xorazm! Great! Great!
What's so great about it?
as long as you gone through the trouble to come all the way here,
and considering your frequent and regular visits to The House of Wisdom,
then I can tell that you will become an outstanding student
if not a famous scientist!
Thanks! Thanks! Thank you, Sir!
I often hear nice complements like this
but what really matters is
to not to let these words give me a sense of arrogance or contentment,
but to make me feel that the trust that those around me have put in me
is a huge responsibility
Amazing! These are wise words indeed!
- I don't want to delay you more than that. - Please go ahead Muhammad!
Go ahead!
Muhammad started to read all the scientific subjects that he was interested in,
and he became the most famous The House of Wisdom goers
With the passage of time,
he began to write his thesis in algebra and arithmetic.
Those thesis that increased his fame
to the point that his name reached the royal court of Caliph, Al-Ma'mun.
- So you're Muhammad Al-Khwarizmi? - Yes, Your highness.
I heard a lot about you, some good things and other bad things!
I'm interested in hearing the bad things first, your highness!
As I may have done something wrong and no one informed me about it,
or maybe someone mistrusted me, so, I will need to defend myself against him.
- No, I will start with the good things! - Go ahead, your highness!
I was notified that despite your young age,
you excelled in arithmetic, mathematics, and algebra,
and you achieved what no one else could achieve before you.
especially that you had studied the knowledge of the Greeks
and Indians and their achievements in this field of science.
Praise be to Allah. It all happened thanks Allah's bless.
As for the bad things, I was informed that
you propose theories in algebra which contradict the familiar methods of arithmetic,
and lots of mathematicians criticize you about it.
- Allow me to defend myself, Your Highness. - Go ahead.
In ancient times, commercial transaction was done through barter.
A camel owner would give a she-camel to someone who has food,
to buy food from him,
and the one who has food gives some to a wool owner
in exchange for taking some wool, and so on.
Then came the emergence of money,
which facilitated the process of buying and selling for people.
and what does this have to do with what I told you about the scientists' opinion about your theories?
It's the same thing, your highness!
How?
It is certain that, what happened after the emergence of money is that
some people thought that it was a bad idea,
they kept holding on to their habit of bartering,
and refused to deal with money.
However, they either submitted to using it eventually,
or that the next generations stopped bartering goods
in a time when using money spread among people.
I still don't understand the relationship between the two matters?
Your Highness, there is always a type of people who rise against any new idea
and they think that holding on to everything from the past is safer and better.
They fear new things just because they are new!
I'm a man of knowledge, your highness,
and I know what I'm saying.
I'm also aware that it might harm people if it isn't true.
As people trust what scientists say.
However, I have confidence in what I say,
and I don't declare it, until after I experiment a lot .
You are very organized in your thoughts and responses!
I'm a mathematician, Sir!
and if I weren't organized in my thoughts ,and clear in my ideas,
then I wouldn't succeed in this field of science.
So, I was right about what I was planning to do!
- What is it, your highness? - O "Khwarizmi"
You will be in charge of the House of Wisdom!
What!?
Yes! Your the best person for this position, so far!
And I believe that a mentality like yours
is more qualified to get the benefits out of
the books that you will find in my private closet.
Thank you, your highness! Thank you for this precious trust!
Caliph Al-Ma'mun trusted Al-Khwarizmi,
and he gave him the right to read the books that were in his closet.
Al-Khwarizmi took the most out of these books!
as he excelled in mathematics. He also was able to master geography, astronomy,
and he mastered the science of history as well.
Adding to that, his previous knowledge of the Greek and Indian Knowledge.
which made Caliph trust him even more.
- Prepare yourself for the trip, O Khwarizmi! - Where to, Your Highness?!
I want to send some expeditions
to some of the countries that became part of the nation recently
We don't know much about these nations,
and you are the one who I trust the most to help us if you go and see these countries.
and you can't deny that you will also get some benefits from such a trip.
Of course, your highness!
It's a great opportunity, one which may not come again.
- OK, you will get going early in the morning.
-Go ahead and get some rest. - Praise be to Allah! Praise be to Allah!
Praise be to Allah! Praise be to Allah!
Al-Khwarizmi has proven that the more knowledge a persons gets,
the more eager he becomes to learn even more.
So will this journey really be useful to him?!
What will Al-Khwarizmi add to science?
and how will he help people with his knowledge?

DHHSD Director David Rosenthal discusses the DHHSD bill - Duration: 6:12.
Greetings.
My name is David Rosenthal.
I am the Director of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Division,
with the Minnesota Department of Human Services.
Today I'd like to discuss how
in 2015, the State Legislature gave us funds
for 2 years
for the following reasons:
to help eliminate waiting lists for services,
update our resources and display equipment that the community wanted,
to conduct an analysis of how the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services Division is operated, and
whether deafblind services are being provided in the best and most efficient way.
We then partnered with the Commission of Deaf, DeafBlind, and Hard of Hearing Minnesotans
to plan how to implement this.
We formed a committee with representatives from the Commission and DHHSD staff to
lead the survey and analysis.
We contracted with 2 vendors to do the studies for us.
One vendor studied DHHSD plus our DeafBlind services.
The other vendor studied the TAM fund TED program.
Both vendors did consumer surveys, town hall meetings across Minnesota,
and individual face to face meetings with many people in the state.
They went to Deaf clubs and organizations to get their members' thoughts about what is needed.
They talked with organizations and agencies that serve people who are deaf
and collect their thoughts as well.
Some surveys were gathered by email
and by phone calls, such as through TTYs and videophones.
We contacted people all over Minnesota.
When the surveys were finished, we compiled a report.
The studies were posted online upon completion. We encourage you to go and look.
We also met with service and advocacy organizations to get their input and feedback.
This included organizations representing DeafBlind groups, Black Deaf groups, immigrant groups,
aging groups, hard of hearing groups and get feedback from as many organizations as possible.
Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens (MADC) was there.
We showed them what we learned from the studies and asked them to help us prioritize our goals.
We listened and collected that feedback.
The feedback was used by both the Commission and DHHSD.
We (DHHSD) used that information to write a report to the legislature
and asked Governor Dayton to include the recommendations and funding request in his budget.
The Governor's budget process is a closed process.
Once we begin this process, we cannot share any information with the public
until the Governor releases his budget.
Then if it is in the released budget, we can share the news.
The Commission developed their own bill separately.
We could not work on this together due to the Governor's closed process.
The Commission sent their bill to the Legislature while we waited for the Governor to release his Budget bill.
When his budget came out last February,
we were happy he included our legislative proposal and funding request in it.
This means there are two bills related to DHHSD.
The two bills are similar but there are some differences between their bill and the Governor's Budget bill.
However, both address the recommendations made by community members.
We are working together to get legislation passed
There is only a short time left for the legislative session.
We will have to see what happens.
We hope you will support the DHHSD bill.
It is a difficult time (at the Capitol) right now.
By working together,
we can successfully pass legislation
and get the funding and changes we need to improve services statewide.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Thank you!

Irish Words Can Mutate! - Duration: 5:46.
A Celtic quiz for you. Does this Irish name start with the sound p, the sound b, or the sound f?
Awww, you knew it was a trick question, huh? Indeed, Irish words can do something
quite unusual. They can mutate their starting sounds.
I'm busy piecing together the epic history of Gaeilge. Tugging at threads, grasping for
one that ties everything together, I'm noticing I barely have time for name drops.
Proto-Celtic - boom - next!
Ogham - boom - next!
Mutation - BOOM - no, no, wait.
Let's explore that one.
In its preliterate days, about the most traumatic thing to happen to the start of Irish words
was that its p's fell off. Without this process today we'd be speaking of Pireland! So while
Rome said piscis and pater, Irish has iasc and athair. Even Ireland's oldest writing
system is missing a sign for that p. But, otherwise, this Ogham script has neat syllables
and beautiful inflected Celtic endings.
Just a couple hundred years later though, Goídelc emerged with a mystery. It was suddenly
so different that it left linguists stumped how Irish could've changed this fast from
Ogham. Out of the blue, or the emerald green, come manuscripts filled with mutations.
Mutations that Irish will never let go of. They come in two flavors. First, soft. That's
a flavor? Séimhiú, lenition, weakens letters into fricatives
or even glides: clann, mo clann.
Deas, dheas. Tú, thú. Some lenitions have changed since Old Irish, like h and ɣ
were once th and dh. We even lost my favorite lenition: today's wɔːr was once ṽoːr.
The old cló settled on marking lenition with a dot. Nowadays, you plop in an h.
Mutation number two is urú, literally darkening or "eclipse". Eclipse automatically turns
any voiceless sound voiced. P, t, c become b, d, g: poc, bpoc, croí, gcroí. Voiced
consonants turn nasal: bóthar, mbóthar. Gaeilge, nGaeilge.
If you count like this book, you'll find a third mutation: hhhaspiration. This one's
about vowels, specifically adding h to vowels after some words that end in a vowel.
Kind of breaks up the two vowels: Old Irish ed but ní hed. And modern Éireann, but na hÉireann.
What makes mutations especially devious is that they're triggered by grammar. If you
asked an Old Irish scribe whose "tech" this is, you better have known the difference between
masculine a /θʲ/ech, feminine a /tʲ/ech and plural a /dʲ/ech! And Modern Irish?
Oh yes, it keeps doing this: a theach, a teach agus a dteach!
This happens go leor. Mac means a son. Muc is a pig. You say an mac but... an mhuc. Why?
Because feminine! Some words trigger an eclipse instead: i bPáras, i mBaile Átha Cliath,
i bhFlorida.
You will be is beidh tú. But if I ask, it's an mbeidh tú?
And if you won't, ní bheidh tú.
With no word for "yes" or "no", mutations are a must.
Where do these transfigurations come from? Recall that those early elegant grammatical
inflections had eroded. This often left Old Irish nothing more than a slender consonant
to mark a meaningful difference: macc, maicc, dún, dúin.
With its endings crumbling around it, Irish noticed something, and just in time: the very
words that triggered these endings had also been messing with beginnings. Triggers ending
in a vowel, like the feminine article, had been softening the next sound: an mac, an mhuc.
Triggers in a nasal, naturally, turned the next sound nasal: Gaeilge, i nGaeilge.
Now, with beginnings in place, triggers themselves were free to erode or even vanish entirely.
Irish had evolved a new way to do grammar.
And when did this happen?
Ask Welsh. Look! Cymraeg has mutations, too!
Well then, clearly these must be inherited,
part of their shared Common Celtic ancestry. I'm told not. Instead,
their parents gave them the tools. Time provided the problem.
Each language came up with its own own solution.
So when you shout to Pádraig, remember to use the vocative: a Phádraig!
When you speak from the heart: ó mo chroí.
And when something's in Irish, it's i nGaeilge.
Stick around and subscribe for language.
