[piano music]
My name is Ashley Rose Young
and I'm a graduate student
in the history department at Duke.
[laughter]
I came to Duke in 2010
and over the past seven years
I've focused primarily on American food culture.
There are a bunch of collections that I love working with
here at the Rubenstein and one of my favorites
is the advertising cookbook collection.
[cranking noise]
[softly] You never know what you're going to find down here.
You think cookbooks are primarily about recipes
but really they're about an entire world of cooking.
You get at something so much more profound,
which is actually community and identity and a sense of place.
My grandfather was actually a street food vendor
in the 1940s and that's a topic that I focus on in my dissertation
and eventually my mother and her two sisters took over the family business
and I grew up working in that business.
Cooking at home and cooking with friends and family
is really a part of my identity and I bring that here to Duke as well.
There were history grad students who had taken on these internships
at the Rubenstein and I knew about that early on in my career
and I thought "That's what I want to do."
I want to work in a library again, I want to interact
with these amazing collections.
So, today we're looking at the J. Walter Thompson Domestic Advertisements Collection
and we're focusing particularly on two companies,
Kraft, and also 7 up,
because they give us an interpretation of consumption through different angles
whether it be humor, whether it be through nutrition
or even comparisons of how advertisements were made
to primarily white American audiences versus African-American audiences.
[Ashley:Hey Meg!] [Meg: Hey!]
I actually started curating exhibits while I've been here
and that has been amazing. I mean, my heart really lies
in creating public art and public exhibits.
And that all ties into my dream of actually interning
at the Smithsonian this summer
where I will be working in the American Food History Project
at the National Museum of American History.
So, to take the skills that I learned here
at Duke Libraries and transfer them to the Smithsonian
is a dream come true. It's really all I could wish for.
So, I'm thrilled to have that opportunity this summer
I'm grateful to the Rubenstein for actually giving me the chance
to acquire these skills, and to make me a needed and a marketable candidate
for an internship at the Smithsonian.
So,
thank you! [laughter]
Thank you, Duke Libraries!

This Is Not A Bee - Duration: 2:36.
Hi, this is Kate fom MinuteEarth.
Close your eyes...no seriously, close your eyes, and imagine a bee.
Now open your eyes.
You probably imagined something with yellow and black stripes, like a honeybee.
But bee-lieve it or not, most bees aren't yellow-and-black striped.
And what's even more confusing is that there are lots of stripey "bees" that are not actually
bees.
They're flies, wasps, and even moths, yet they look so much like our idea of a bee that
we're constantly getting fooled.
But we're not actually the ones they're out to bee-devil.
Many insects that can defend themselves have bright patterns that teach predators to keep
their distance.
Say two hypothetical stinging species have different warning colorations; a predator
must sample lots of individuals of each before learning that both patterns yield un-happy
meals.
Yet if the two species look similar, far fewer of each kind will get chomped before the predator
learns to avoid that pattern.
So stinging species, like bees and wasps, often end up converging on a single appearance.
Once predators learn that yellow-and-black striped prey aren't worth the risk, cheaters
creep into the system.
Neither flies nor moths have stingers for defense, but simply looking like an insect
that does provides pretty much the same protection.
So is that insect a bee or not a bee?
If it just stung you, it's a bee or a wasp.
Along with stingers, both have short, elbow-shaped antennae and four wings - although those can
be hard to see; bees are the super-hairy ones, while wasps are mostly bald.
On the non-stinging side, if it has two wings and looks like it's wearing giant goggles,
it's a fly.
If it has long feathery antennae, it's probably a moth.
If you can get beyond the fear of getting stung and begin to appreciate their differences,
you may find that beauty is in the eye of the bee-holder, or the not-a-bee holder.
Like bees, we humans are also hairy - and for those who want to keep their hair in check,

Trump Blasts Germany In First Tweet Of The Day - Duration: 3:28.
Trump Blasts Germany In First Tweet Of The Day
by Tyler Durden
So much for Trump's lawyers gaining control over the president's tweeting habits.
Just three after the Italian G-7 meeting ended in an unprecedented lack of consensus over
the Paris climate deal, prompting Angela Merkel to announce one day later that Germany can
no longer "completely rely" on the US, Trump escalated the dispute with Germany over trade
and defense while the German Chancellor met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in
a demonstration of her ability to pivot from the U.S. to strengthen alternative global
alliances.
�We have a MASSIVE trade deficit with Germany, plus they pay FAR LESS than they should on
NATO & military,� Trump said in his first tweet on Tuesday.
"Very bad for U.S.
This will change"
Trump's tweet came minutes after Merkel and Modi held a joint press conference in Berlin,
at which the German leader sent a very clear message to the US, calling India a �reliable
partner with respect to big projects.� That contrasted with her Sunday comments at a Munich
rally that reliable trans-Atlantic ties that formed the basis of German foreign policy
since World War II �are to some extent over.�
Merkel and Modi stressed their mutual values on the economy and climate change, with the
Indian leader suggesting he will adhere to the Paris Agreement to combat global warming
even if the U.S. quits.
He praised Merkel�s experience and Germany�s economic example to India.
�We are meant for each other,� Modi said.
In the same vein, on Monday Germany's foreign minister Sigma Gabriel, called Trump�s policies
�short-sighted,� saying they stand against the European Union�s interests.
�Anyone who accelerates climate change by weakening environmental protection, who sells
more weapons in conflict zones and who does not want to politically resolve religious
conflicts is putting peace in Europe at risk,� Sigmar Gabriel said on Monday.
�The West has become smaller, at least it has become weaker.�
In a follow up tweet, Trump said Russian officials are likely "laughing" at the U.S. amid continuing
reports related to Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race.
"Russian officials must be laughing at the U.S. & how a lame excuse for why the Dems
lost the election has taken over the Fake News," Trump tweeted shortly after his German-bashing
tweet.
Trump's latest comments come after reports last week that son in law and senior aide
Jared Kushner in December sought to establish a backchannel line of communication between
the Trump transition team and Moscow.
The move came during a meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.
The FBI is looking at meetings that Kushner held with Kislyak and Russian banking executive
Sergey Gorkov in December as part of the law enforcement investigation into possible collusion
between the Trump campaign and Moscow.
The tweet also came out at the same time as news broke that Trump's communications director,
Mike Dubke, has resigned from the White House.

(Airsoft game) AA12 Gameplay - 25/05/17 part 1 - Duration: 7:58.
Welcome to this video showing the first game of the 05/25/2017 on the IPSAirsoft field !
This is a "lord of the seas" type of game : at the begining, each player is on its own
"Was it painful ?"
"No it's ok ! I was expecting worse"
When you hit an enemy, he stays where he is for 30 sec ; you can then capture him by touching him for 5 sec
Once he's captured, the enemy becomes a member of your team
"Do you vaguely know where the others are ?"
(Points all the space on our left) "This way !"
Better than nothing !
"I'll go on the side"
This video is a "sequence shot", I'm showing you here the whole game without cut ; I just speed up some parts
The point of the game, of course, is to capture every player so there is only one team left
"How do we proceed in this kind of situation ?"
"Count to 30 and then, you fall back in your own direction"
"Are Val and I still together or not ?"
"No ! You're no longer together"
I finish counting, now I'm going a bit further away before respawning
Another player is not far away, I guess he saw me walking, I'm wondering what to do...
"Back in the game !"
Do I try to shoot him or not....
Yeah, let's try...
He has a RPK and probably more range than me ; I need to get closer, I put this little tree between him and I to stay on cover
"You're hit too ?"
"Yeah ! Bbs clouds are hard to dodge ! I managed to dodge the first volley but not the others !"
This day, it was the first time I was using the AA12 on the field (reminder : it shots 3 bbs per shot) and I was surprised how efficient it is
"Back in game !"
The AA12 doesn't have a lot of range, but he has at least 2 big advantages on a field like this
1st advantage : the vegetation doesn't protect a lot from the AA12, it's easy to hit player which are "half hidden" behind a bush with it
2nd advantage : it shots a big volume of bbs, hard to dodge, which makes hitting moving targets much easier
I come back where I was earlier ; I'm assuming that other players should be there
I try to carefully check for hidden players in the landscape...
There is 2 enemies here, I need to stay mobile
I have just hit again the same player, which just has been revived by its teammate
They're both hit now, let's capture them...
The RPK player is here again, he's shooting toward us (and I have a very bad reflex, hiding behind the hit player, it's wrong... Sorry about that)
"You hit him !"
"This thing works great !"
I'll capture the 3rd player... But let's stay cautious
"You don't even need to aim do you ? Well done"
"Thanks !"
"We're a big team now, with Rémi and Juan"
"So... There is just Val missing ?"
"Val and Chris"
"Val is over there !" (behind the hill)
"I'll climb the hill"
I can see her...
"You got her ?"
"Yeah !"
"You aren't hurt ? - I'm ok, I'm ok"
"Sorry, on the hill it's hard to not hit the head"
"There is only Chris left, all the other players are on our team"
"Do you know where he is ? - He is this way" (in front of us)
"It's Fred on the left ! He's with us"
"Are you sure ? - Yes I'm sure !"
"We're together ! We're together ! Out !"
"Sorry you're the one who took it all !"
"I've hit Khan-Seb ! - Friendly fire maybe but it counts !"
"Did we hit him ? - I don't know"
"Are you hit ? - Yeah !"
And here it is, game over, we're only a single team now. Thanks for watching !

How To Improve Your Balance On A Bike - Duration: 4:55.
- Balance isn't really something
that many of us look to work on,
not since we started to learn how to ride our bikes.
But, practicing your balance
can really pay dividends with your confidence,
like riding in traffic or around other people.
So, here's a few hints and tips to practice.
- You alright there, mate? Did that help?
- Yeah that's really really helpful, that.
I think I'm getting there, mate.
Thanks, - You are, yeah,
I really appreciate it. - Brilliant effort!
Brilliant effort!
- Am I looking good?
- Aw yeah!
- Cheers, mate.
(cheery techno music)
- Now your first point is to tear your eyes
away from your front wheel,
and it's actually a lot harder to do
than you might think.
But there are many many different reasons
why you need to try,
one of them, of course, being balance.
- Yeah, and if I'm honest,
I don't really know why.
I think it has something to do with concentration.
So let's face it, if you're concentrating
on trying to keep your balance,
you're probably already on the back foot.
So keep your gaze up ahead on a fixed
yet moving point to help orientate yourself.
(cheery techno music)
Now a seemingly simple task
which is remarkably difficult to do is to ride
in a straight line whilst at the same time
looking behind you.
Now, even the most experienced riders
can often get this wrong, veer offline,
and get a bit of a wobble.
But, unfortunately, it's vitally important
that you learn to do this.
- Yeah, particularly for when riding
in close proximity to other bike riders,
or indeed just other traffic.
Now, the secret is to actually
just not turn all that far.
So it might not give you a complete picture
of what's going on behind you,
but it does allow you to keep your torso
pointing straight forward,
and keep your steering straight as well.
If you do need to see further around,
then you need to take one hand off the bars,
making sure there's enough space in front of you to do it,
and that's gonna allow you to open up your body
and turn whilst still going in the right direction.
(cheery techno music)
This one will really help
to improve your balance on the bike.
It's a little bit like the cycling equivalent
of walking a tight rope.
Because riding really slowly means
that when you do need to turn the handlebars
in order to keep your balance,
the corrections that you make
have much less of an effect,
which leads to those really exaggerated movements
and that characteristic wobble.
- Stay to your own side, you nearly had me off.
- Sorry, mate.
- Now, practicing riding slowly
will get your body used to balancing
without resorting too much to steering.
Now at first, you may find it pretty hard,
as it is a bit difficult,
but if you've got a few spare minutes
it's really worth the investment to practice.
(cheery techno music)
- As well as practicing on the bike,
a simple way of improving your balance could be
to actually look at the way your bike is set up,
and in particular, your position on it.
Because you'll find that if you have
to stretch too far to the controls,
so the brakes and the gears,
then actually you may well find
that those fine movements needed for control
are actually much harder to carry out.
In fact, if you try and do anything at arms reach
it becomes an awful lot harder to do so,
and the same is definitely true of riding a bike.
- Yeah, so a shorter, more upright position
will definitely help if you're looking
to improve your balance,
even if there may be trade-offs in other areas.
- It's a miracle you stay upright on that thing, mate.
- Yeah, come to think of it,
I might get a shorter stem.
(cheery techno music)
- Away from the bike entirely,
there are actually a number of skills
that you can practice
that will help you improve your balance, generally,
that would then pay dividends on the bike as well.
Because it might be that you actually need
to improve your core strength,
in which case doing some light gym work
or a regular Pilates class would do the job.
- Or, you could just stand on one leg
in the comfort of your own home,
and even try it with your eyes shut.
- Okay, hang on.
(both laughing)
As Matt said at the start,
balance might not be something that you've actually
ever given all that much thought to,
but it is definitely worth practicing some of these skills,
because you will feel the benefit.
Now, do make sure as well as practicing your balance,
that you have subscribed to GCN,
that's a great way to improve your confidence on the bike.
To do that just click on the globe.
- Now, for looking in particular
at how to improve your confidence on the bike
we've got a video on that,
and you can find that by clicking just down here.
- Yeah, or for five essential cycling skills,
that one's just down there.
Actually, there's quite a bit of homework.
- Yeah! There is! Lot's to learn!
Better get a like and share!
