Ok guys so today I'm going to be showing you my current set-up for what I bring to
games.
None of this is sponsored this is just what I currently use.
So this is my bucket right here and it has a screw off lid, which I really like.
The kind that you have to pull off are a lot harder to get off and one of the biggest things
that I look for in a bucket is being able to get into my items really fast so I really
like that this has a screw off lid.
So they sell these gamma seal lids separately so you can put them on any five-gallon bucket
and I highly, highlight recommend getting one of these because it makes getting into
your bucket so much easier.
I also have this backpack accessory and this makes it so that carrying my bucket is just
a lot easier.
I don't have to carry it by the handle all the time or like something like this and at
least for me my games are like really far apart I have to walk like a huge amount of
distance to get to the next field so having it be portable and being able to wear it like
a backpack is really nice like it's really easy.
It's really easy to just pop and go on and then you're ready to go.
So I'm a huge fan of this setup.
This is what I currently use right now.
So up first inside the bucket is we have my water setup.
So I drink both water and Powerade throughout the game.
For me if I just drink water then I don't feel like I get enough energy back if I just
drink Powerade sometimes I'm not hydrated enough so I drink both of these throughout
the game and I've been really happy with the results that I get from this.
So a big thing I like about this water bottle is that the lid totally closes.
I've had a lot of problems with water bottles in the past like leaking or whatever and I've
never had any problems with this so I've been really happy with the water bottle.
Up next is my filming setup so I currently film all my games now and I use a GoPro Hero4
Black with a stabilizer so for me the biggest thing that I look for for my filming setup
is that it's super easy for me to give it to somebody else and this setup is what I
found to be the easiest for other people to film with because GoPro's have really wide
angles so it's gets more of the field than normal so it's a lot easier to get the shot
than maybe a DSLR or a better nicer camera but yeah so the GoPro goes on the stabilizer
and the stabilizer keeps it steady so that there's no shaking my footage isn't like
the super best quality ever but it's good enough for me and I've been happy with this
setup.
The biggest pro to using this setup over like using multiple cameras is that you aren't
just taking up a huge amount of storage space on your external drives like when you use
two or three cameras it's gonna be like a hundred gigabytes a game and that was just
way too much footage for me to it just makes editing more difficult it makes everything
more difficult so this is my current stuff that I use.
So this stabilizer is the Evo GP Pro and I really like this stabilizer because the battery
life on it is amazing.
I can get through two full games without changing any batteries I don't have to change the
GoPro battery I don't have to change these batteries either they last the whole game
and that's really awesome for me that's like the biggest reason why I went with this
stabilizer over some other ones.
This one is a little bit of a pain to get the GoPro on though some of the other ones
are way easier.
You'll see that these have like these screw mounts and it's it's a decent it's not
super hard but it's definitely more time consuming than some of the other ones where
just you like clip it on and just go.
So next I have rock climbing chalk.
So this is something that I use when it's really hot out.
So what you do is the rock climbing chalk goes on your hand than it wicks away a lot
of the sweat so it does a really good job of making your hands feel not sweaty at all.
And all you have to do is wipe your hands on your shirt afterwards and then it will
be off and you are ready to go.
Next are Layout gloves so right now I use gloves mostly for the rain and these do a
tremendous job of performing in the rain I have some clips of me playing in just a horribly
rainy game and you'll see that I make a lot of throws in this game and I felt awesome.
The disc never slips for me at all I feel completely in control of all of my throws
when I'm using these gloves I can not recommend them enough for the rain.
I will also use them in the cold but they stay in my bag mostly for the rain.
So next are running socks so I use to have a really big problem of getting blisters on
the bottom of my feet, but once I started using running socks I've never had that
problem again.
So these type of socks have they have a little more padding than normal and they also do
a better job of just sweat control and once I started using these I've never torn my
feet since.
So I really recommend running socks if you have blister problems like I do.
So next is a sweat band so this is something that I like can not play without.
So I wear it on my wrist that is the bottom hand for catching and what this does is it
protects my wrist from the rim rubbing against it and I use to also have a problem of my
wrist just being bruised up all the time because of the constant rubbing from catching, but
once I started wearing this I've never had that problem again and I just really love
these I can not recommend this enough if you have that problem.
So I use these Wilson sweat bands I really like these because they don't shed a lot
of the brands that I've used they'll like shed on my hand and it's really annoying
these are really cheap they don't shed and I've had good results with them so I recommend
them.
Next are my cleats.
So these are the current cleats that I use.
They are the Nike Ctr 360's and I really like them they fit my feet really well and
I also really like this stud pattern.
They're more of the pointy kind over the round kind and I find that this give me a
little more better grip than the circle kind so I've been really happy with these they're
kinda old I don't know if you can find them anymore but I'm a big fan of these and finally
we have my scoreboard so for score it just really nice to have to always be able to see
what the score is for a lot of my teams when I first started we were just like really bad
at keeping score I'm pretty sure I lost like four or five games throughout my career
because my team didn't keep score and we just had to go off what the other team said
and when you have a scoreboard you never have that problem again.
So it's just something that's really nice to have and it's just nice to not have people
constantly asking you what's the score?
what's the score?
what's the score?
people can just look at the scoreboard and then you're good to go.
Also for this you will notice I put clothespin here so what this is for is when there is
wind these flaps will push over and then you don't know what the score is but if you
clamp this down and it comes over this keeps your score so all I have to do is push it
back and then you know exactly what your score was again and that's it.

unbox + review | EZN Pudding Hair Color [ENG/SUB] - Duration: 5:38.
So I'm done with coloring
However
There's a hidden
tragedy...
This section
Apparently I didn't color it well so the color is very light
Not sure why but it looks like a curtain lol
But I guess it's hard to be noticed
Also the dark color should be washed out later
I should be fine (?)
Also this part...
Should be okay, right? (I didn't see the back D:)
At least my hair color looks the same now
I'm glad :D
So...
Here's a close look
Pretty dark huh?
At the same time, I want to follow up with this color
Let's see how it look like a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks or a month later
like if the color will stays or not
Also the coloring kit comes with a conditioner
I used it after I washed my hair
and let it stayed for 3 mins
In door, the color gives a
dark red-brown ish color
dark brown, not entirely black
I actually like it
Even I didn't color it well haha
It's been 3 weeks since I colored my hair
And I wash my hair 2-3 times a week
Under the sun
my hair looks red-brown ish
In door and under the shadow
My hair looks darker
I personally think this product is very easy to use
for people who want to DIY coloring at home
color got washed out quite fast
As for after the coloring
I put a small towel on top of my pillow
to prevent my hair color the pillow case
This is my short review for EZN Pudding Hair Color
I hope this is helpful for people who want to try it
If you've used the same product before
or you have any questions

Multimedia resources by Teacher Communities - Duration: 14:38.
okay I thought I'd make a few comments on teacher resources. I had a little, sort of,
discussion with a couple of teachers in the last couple of days. I've noticed on
Twitter, that suddenly, some people might dispute this, but suddenly, people have
started to put up video resources and groups like the COG science and Team
English have begun to sort of coalesce as "grass roots" resource building
communities.Now I find this quite interesting because going right back to
1994 I started to produce resources for the internet before even really just as
the world wide web was beginning I was on the internet before the world wide
web and one of the first things as a primary teacher I noticed was that there
were no resources for the British Museum and my school the school I worked in was
doing Ancient Greeks on the curriculum and people talk about there being
knowledge organizers and things like that nowadays well the
first thing I wanted to do was go to the British Museum and I took a camera I
took an SLR and I photographed loads and loads and loads of the Ancient Greek
resources. I did ask the museum permission, the museum's permission and
they kindly gave me the permission because I remember even five/ ten years
back they used to be Kodachrome slides of exhibits in the British Museum and
then there weren't any in the mid 90s now there's a whole plethora of
wonderful resources on the web by the museum itself but in those days nothing.
So being the school closest to the British Museum and the fact that I
took school parties there on a regular basis and I'd written lots and lots of
worksheets to go with the exhibits in the cases because I always believed and
still do that children shouldn't walk through museums, shouldn't breeze through a
museum they need to have their attention focus specifically on the objects and
get them to think around how those objects were used and in the context of
that historical period as much as you can do but it does give us at a very
graphic, concrete example for them. So I took a polarizer which is a special lens
and I took loads and loads and loads of photographs of several of the museums in
the ancient Greek Trail and I put those up online. I taught myself HTML I sat
down I taught myself HTML I put them up online. Within days I was getting a
quarter of a million hits but not from this country because no one was online
in this country at that particular time. Mostly from California and
schoolchildren doing their school projects on the west coast of California
and so therefore I realised that this was quite a big deal. So in these times of Knowledge
Organisers it was very interesting to see that even in those days just to let
people know that someone like me who's quite, maybe more on the progressive side
of things, would take and atomise certain aspects of the curriculum, which
we are all discussing now, get examples of that in museums and put them up. Subsequently
with my class, I think was my year 3 year 4 class, we went to the Science Museum
and we did the same thing; we created a whole trail to do with the science of
materials exhibition that was on at the time and we actually put all that up and
we won the first STEM competition for multimedia materials online. You have got to
remember that this is in the mid-90s so it was sort of, a not very well known
thing to do in those days. I've always been an outlier in that in
that respect. So I mean one of the things I used to do was take my planning
week-by-week and in all the subject areas say what we were doing and put it
into a PDF and put it online. Only about one of two parents could read that in
those days if anyone in the population you know we were a run-of-the-mill
London school quite difficult kids in there as well
that would be sort of standard now people would be able to pull that down
and read it. So as I gained expertise in making multimedia I was then
commissioned by the Science Museum to be a museum online, sort of, writer for a web
page. So again I went deeper into HTML and I taught myself Flash and created
interactives and also created a lot of ... I created a whole site on the history
of astronomy to do with the Apollo 10 capsule that they have at the Museum and
that was put up on the Franklin Museum site and the Science Museum site. And the
deeper I went into it the more expertise I got and this is on top of a full-time
teaching job; so I was doing 80, 90, 100 hours a week, not sleeping half the time
and that led to me writing a book and that led to me having to leave teaching
in the end because my expertise became so great that I was given the choice by
my head teacher either I'd stop going out and consulting on things or working
for firms or I leap sideways and take a a job and I eventually did in a big film
company which where I then learned all about live-streaming and film and part
of my job was to take Shakespearean texts and create resources for them or
blue sky them. And what I was doing in those days was looking at CDs and
whether you could link text in the CD to the precise bit in the Shakespearean
play so you could jump from one specific bit in that Shakespearean play in the
film directly to the text and vice versa and we also did a whole
classical music site and resource which allowed someone to build their own
classical music resources according to the QCA curriculum in those days. Now the
point is fast forward 20 years, 22 years yeah, and people are beginning because of
the wonder of YouTube and online resources like that, beginning to put up
little YouTube films. Now part of what I wanted to say to the teachers was: If you
actually use the technology precisely enough you can get that granularity of
detail that you want to have for when you're teaching it. Also you'll be able
to build a bigger cohesive resource but here's the rub: these teachers who are
now finding it easier because the technology has got so easy let's face it
you can stick up a film just by putting a camera on tripod turning it on filming
someone it's not as easy as that but more or less is push it right up to to
YouTube but when you ask people when you ask teachers to go that little bit
further like point out that you can actually take the transcript which the
Google is now very good at, the AI, and pull that down, it'll only take you about
10 minutes to edit it, then you could put that up as a text resource as well.
Also you can timestamp various specific bits within the film so if you wanted to
reference these resources, in a bundle, you could but of course the teachers then
say: Well we can't do that we can't it's it's it's taking away from our
commitment to our communities and (adding)to our workload and that's fair enough I
understand that I had that back in the day myself I was doing an 80, 90
to a 100 hour week. And of course what inevitably happens is the people who do
do that inevitably build up enough expertise to jump out of teaching
because they do go the extra mile. You know I find a lot of
people who say this, also - you know, work their way up to writing a book, which - you
know, it's the same thing and it's probably more labor-intensive but my
gripe really is, that either the College of Teaching and/or the DFE should be paying
for a group of teachers to be able to do this and not everyone is going to be
like me a total nutter who will go out and learn all this and learn all the
knowledge to actually transmit the knowledge - that's quite interesting.
Looking at various theories coming up now about dual coding I noticed
that that I was up to that back in the mid 90s. I know the theory behind all
that and it's interesting to see how that's evolving coming to the fore now
how you use multimedia resources. So my point is this: When we had the Curriculum
Online, they asked all the consultants what they should put in the curriculum
and how they should build the resources and things. Well that's not how things
evolve in terms of teaching communities. What they learned very quickly is that
that was a failure. People didn't want to actually have a Curriculum
Online and then pull it down; what happened was, in terms of "folksonomies",
this is where people... it emerges from grassroots in what people want and if
you make it easy enough for people to build the resources from their own
communities, and I've said this for over 20 years because, you know, of my history
and then you are able to build a substantial, robust resource that will
stand the test of time.
The problem is workload and free time and really, this is something the College
of teaching or the DfE or other professional organizations need to think
about. To be able to enable people to do that, and I would suggest a sabbatical
for someone who is fairly technical savvy and who has the knowledge in
specialist fields in specific subject areas or in the primary area, someone been given
a sabbatical of six months to a year to be able to work with teachers and build
this resource and then to put it out there for free. That seems to me like the
real Curriculum Online that should have been happening 10, 20 years ago and we
are at the point now where the ability to be able to film and transmit that
knowledge and do it in a way that's really clever, and I feel still that
people need to work on how they do that in terms of putting out information;
there are specific ways that you could make it more easily digestible, could be
done. And I don't know why anyone isn't, sort of, pushing this and and in, in, in
that sense, this is what I wanted to to push on the agenda is that: Yes, if people
haven't got the time,they've got the time to create the initial resource and
they've got the time to sort of link it up in an ad hoc way on on Twitter or use
their subject associations, but in my, in my limited a sort of opinion that
subject associations tend to be too bureaucratic when you've got this
free-range Twitter dynamic dynamicism or whatever whatever the word is happening
and is just still happening because they did ask for examples of this and I still
see very very few examples coming from the community because very few people
actually are makers when it comes to resources in terms of putting them out
there for a wider audience let's say...So, really at this point, what would be most
useful for the teaching community I think would be paid sabbaticals for
someone to liaise with these associations and I don't want to do it but I think it
should come from the teaching force and get people to use this expertise. So if
you want knowledge organisers, if you want to flesh them out with specific
videos or specific animations or specific
Multimedia (I'm not talking about PowerPoint) I'm talking about specific
highly focused pieces of information around that knowledge, which you can then
tie together in a cohesive manner so that you have it indexed and filed. So
that someone searching for it can actually go off and find a specific
resource either for them for their CPD as a professional or for their
students. So that's what I wanted to say really. We're we're still, even after - I
think 20 years, only on the lip of being able to use new technologies and media
in very highly specific, rigorous, if you want, ways and I think there should be no
excuses for not pushing forward with that but at the same time I think
government and subject associations and something like the College should be
able to offer that kind of arena for people to create and that's all I'm
going to say on the subject...

Austrian Breakfast in Vienna, Austria | Wiener Frühstück (Viennese Breakfast) - Duration: 9:35.
Good morning good morning.
It is a beautiful Friday here in Vienna (Wien).
Yeah, it is.
And we're hungry.
We woke up with an appetite so we're going to go in search of a typical Austrian and
Viennese breakfast.
Oh yes, and there is a place we have in mind just around the corner.
So let's go there.
That's great.
Sam is just getting his camera ready.
Going to do some filming today.
Camera out.
Yeah, we're also aside from just having breakfast there is also going to be a busy day for us
filming trying to complete the city guide to Vienna (Wien). here today as well.
Yeah.
And we have to say we've loved the city.
It is so beautiful but the prices are kind of scary.
Wouldn't you say?
It is not the cheapest city that is for sure.
It is not.
But I mean it is very nice to visit but yeah not as friendly on the wallet as some of the
other places we've been to recently.
We've also noticed there is a big cafe culture here in Vienna so you always see you know
the patios, cafes, restaurants they are full no matter what day of week it is, what time
it is.
People are out brunching and eating.
So yeah, that is one thing that I really do like about the city because I like my food.
This is our beautiful street.
Just look at that architecture up ahead.
The streets in Vienna are stunning.
Okay so here we are.
We made it to the restaurant we had in mind.
It is called Wirr.
Not entirely sure what that means but they do have a cool menu with alien cats.
With alien cat.
It is like those bald cats.
I don't even know what they're called but yeah they're on the cover.
We show know the name of this cat.
We're going to look this up later on.
Haha.
If you know please tell us.
Yeah but we came here a few days ago and we actually had more of a Middle Eastern breakfast.
Like Sam had this giant hummus platter.
It was so good.
With falafel and it had shakshouka and it was really good.
Yep.
But we also noticed on the menu that they specialize in a Viennese breakfast and they
also have a farmer's breakfast.
Yes.
So that is what we've ordered and yeah it should be coming soon.
Actually our drinks are here.
Burr.
Trying to stay warm out here on the patio.
It is late September but I mean it is surprisingly chilly.
Today is a lot chillier than it has been on other days.
It is a little windy.
Maybe we should have sat inside.
But we figured let's enjoy the sunshine.
So yeah, I got myself a cafe latte.
Nice and milky and frothy.
Yeah.
And we've been noticing they sure do good coffees in this city.
Oh, they do.
Oh my.
They do.
And Sam got a little cappuccino in a cute little blue cup.
I did.
Just over here.
Check it out.
I'll be trying that after.
That is good but I can't wait for the food to arrive.
I'm so hungry.
It is past 10 in the morning already so we're a little bit late for breakfast today.
But yeah.
Alright Sir.
Time to try the cappuccino.
Cappuccino.
Mmm.
It is pretty darn good.
Yeah?
Yeah.
And the cool thing is that in this neighborhood that we've been staying in we've tried out
a couple of really other good restaurants too.
Yeah.
We went to Ulrich right?
Yeah, that was a good one.
Which is really good.
I ordered the we got the mushroom risotto.
Actually I ordered the mushroom risotto and Sam was like I'll have the same please.
Haha.
So we only tried it.
I copied you.
But it was so good.
But we also had we got a side dish of like polenta and chorizo.
Yeah.
And then we went to another restaurant that Anthony Bourdain went to many years ago.
What was that one called?
Wratschko.
Wratschko.
Yeah.
We had uh steak with um with peppercorn sauce.
Peppercorn sauce.
Yeah.
It was so good and that was our friend Kash who recommended that.
So we went and tried that.
So lots of great places to eat just in and around the neighborhood we were staying in.
And this place we're at right now.
This one we found on our own.
This is our own discovery.
Yes.
Haha.
Alright guys, so our Viennese breakfast has arrived.
This is the Wiener Frühstück and it comes with semmel which I've already dug into.
It is for our Spanish speaking clip we did.
Haha.
It is just so warm and fresh out of the oven.
This is a nice bread and it also came with croissant.
We have some ham, some cheese, a hard boiled egg, butter, jam and I can already tell you
I am a big fan.
This is a typical Viennese breakfast.
Yep.
This is the Viennese one.
Yep.
We'll showcase the other one in a moments time.
But this bread roll.
Oh my gosh.
I don't know like we've been in Vienna how many days and we've managed to only discover
this bread roll today?
How is it possible?
That is kind of sad.
It is so good.
It is good.
It is so so good.
It kind of reminds me a bit of a continental breakfast.
Mmmhmm.
Yeah.
It really does.
Mmmm.
Mmmmm.
Alright thank you for sharing.
Oh, you're right.
It is nice and warm.
I know.
Oh my gosh.
I know.
Fresh as can be.
So I'm going to have a little bit of ham and cheese on mine.
Turning it into a sandwich.
It is a little yeah it is a little mini sandwich.
A mini bite.
Good stuff.
That is really nice.
I like how you can alternate between having like savory bites with the meat and cheese
and then going over to the sweet.
There you go.
They've thought of everything.
The best of both worlds really.
Oh.
That makes a lot of noise.
And let's not neglect that egg.
Let's not neglect the egg.
As we all know Sam has a problem with eggs sometimes.
Not a big fan of boiled or runny eggs.
This one feels a little soft.
It is all yours.
Oh, it feels soft.
Ooh, it is.
Oh man, I'm going to have to like spread this on bread or something.
Haha.
Before it is a little runny in there huh?
It is going to burst all over my hands.
I'd get that bread.
Actually you know what I'm going to do?
I'd get that bread underneath.
I'm going to steal a slice of bread from the other breakfast we ordered.
The farmer's breakfast.
Alright.
We're going to show you guys that.
I'll bring that over to you right now.
In a second.
One hand on the camera another hamera.
Another hamera.
Another hand to hand you the bread.
Let's cut into that.
Camera.
Ooh.
Haha.
Look at it burst all over your hand.
Oh man.
There is no napkins.
What are we going to do here?
No napkins.
There actually is a napkin.
Look at that.
I'm going to get you the napkin right now.
Hmmm.
Just licking my hands clean.
Look at this like multi-talented over here.
Filming, handing you napkins and pieces of bread on demand.
And how is that?
It is good.
It needs a little bit of salt and pepper but I can work with this.
Okay okay.
So now let's dig into the farmer's breakfast.
Yeah, this poor little plate has been neglected.
We've been chowing down on the other one so much.
So we'll give you a little tour.
So we've got the nice bread over here.
Yeah and it came with two slices.
Yes.
Two very thick slices of cheese.
It looks like aged cheese.
And then we have um the egg which I'll be giving to you.
This is I think kind of like a carrot cream cheese type of mixture.
It is a spread to put on the bread obviously.
Yeah.
And then of course we have the gurken - the pickles.
And then we have something like prosciutto.
It does look like deli meats.
It looks like really good quality meat.
And some tomatoes.
And so what I'm going to do is make a little mini sandwich here.
A little bite.
Taking off a bit of bread.
I'm going to take a little bit of this.
Spread it on.
A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
A little bit of this a little bit of that.
A wee bit of cheese.
A wee bit of cheese.
A wee bit of cheese.
A little ripped off slice of pickle and some meat.
So I've got a little bit of everything going on aside from the egg which is all yours.
Mmmm.
Oh my gosh that is really nice.
The bread is delicious.
It is like it is absolutely amazing.
And then that nice thick slice of cheese and then a little juiciness from the pickle.
It makes a really nice yummy bite.
Alright and now if you had to choose between the Viennese and Austrian farmer's breakfast
which would you go for?
Well, you know what?
I'm more in the mood for savory so I think I'm going to enjoy the farmer's one a little
bit more today.
Alright that works for me because I like the Viennese better.
Perfect.
Haha.
Normally we like the same one.
Alright so chow down.
This works out great today.
And price point for that meal?
And to wrap things up yeah that came to just over 23 Euro so that included the two drinks
and the two mains.
So yeah it was a really good breakfast.
We'd recommend going there and yeah we're very satisfied.
We're very full.
But also ready to start the day we're going to go explore more of Vienna (Wien) right
now.
Tata.
Tata.

unbox + review | EZN Pudding Hair Color [ENG/SUB] - Duration: 5:38.
So I'm done with coloring
However
There's a hidden
tragedy...
This section
Apparently I didn't color it well so the color is very light
Not sure why but it looks like a curtain lol
But I guess it's hard to be noticed
Also the dark color should be washed out later
I should be fine (?)
Also this part...
Should be okay, right? (I didn't see the back D:)
At least my hair color looks the same now
I'm glad :D
So...
Here's a close look
Pretty dark huh?
At the same time, I want to follow up with this color
Let's see how it look like a week, 2 weeks, 3 weeks or a month later
like if the color will stays or not
Also the coloring kit comes with a conditioner
I used it after I washed my hair
and let it stayed for 3 mins
In door, the color gives a
dark red-brown ish color
dark brown, not entirely black
I actually like it
Even I didn't color it well haha
It's been 3 weeks since I colored my hair
And I wash my hair 2-3 times a week
Under the sun
my hair looks red-brown ish
In door and under the shadow
My hair looks darker
I personally think this product is very easy to use
for people who want to DIY coloring at home
color got washed out quite fast
As for after the coloring
I put a small towel on top of my pillow
to prevent my hair color the pillow case
This is my short review for EZN Pudding Hair Color
I hope this is helpful for people who want to try it
If you've used the same product before
or you have any questions

Top 10 Things That Are BETTER Than They Were 50 YEARS AGO - Duration: 13:19.
We live in an age in which bad news and negativity reigns, making it easy to overlook the positive
things that have taken place in our world over the last half century.
Further, one doesn't need to view the world through rose-colored glasses to see the many
things that have transpired over the last few decades all designed to make all our lives
easier, safer, and overall less challenging than they were for our forbearers.
All one needs to do is compare the present to the fairly recent past to recognize that
while there are still things to be depressed about, there are a number of things that have
improved dramatically.
So what are these "positives" of which I speak?
Below are my top ten "things" that have dramatically improved since 1964—and many
of which show signs of getting even better in the future—so eat your hearts out, all
you purveyors of doom and gloom out there.
10.
Automobiles
When one considers the automobiles of yesterday, one can't help but be astonished at the
dramatic improvements we see in the vehicles of today.
Consider that the average car in 1964 had no seat belts, air bags, crumple zones, or
crash bars, got maybe 12 miles to the gallon, and belched prodigious amounts of toxins in
the air, it's not difficult to see how much safer, fuel efficient, and cleaner cars are
today.
While one can argue that styling may have been more interesting back then, and no one
can deny the mystique the classic muscle cars of the late 60s and early 70s held—and continue
to hold for many today—it's obvious that today's cars are technological wonders compared
to their ancestors.
In fact, with GPS navigation, Bluetooth, Sirius radio and a host of other gadgets that come
standard with many models, today's vehicles are veritable spaceships when compared to
a 60's car.
Plus, the selection is almost unlimited, with everything from subcompacts to monster trucks
being available to the consumer, whereas back then selection was mostly limited to a basic
sedan, a station wagon, or a small truck.
Further, consumers had only a dozen or so models to choose between back then whereas
today there are literally scores of makes and models to select from (not to mention
the emerging hybrid and all electric markets to consider).
Yes, today's cars cost more than cars did fifty years ago, but most vehicles are actually
cheaper than their predecessors when one factors in inflation and the cost of a new car as
a percentage of average annual income.
Finally, with new and even more astonishing technologies on the drawing boards, the future
looks even brighter for the venerable automobile—which I believe will continue to play a big part
in the 21st century and beyond.
9.
Air Travel
I know that in the post 9/11 world, air travel is more of a hassle than it was fifty years
ago (when one could walk through security with barely a whimper), but it can't be
denied that travel by air has improved dramatically.
First of all, it is cheaper to fly today than at any other time in history.
Fifty years ago, airfares were set by the Civil Aeronautics Board, and could often be
expensive.
For example, a round-trip airline ticket from Miami to New Orleans cost around $130 in 1964—which
is about $900 in today's dollars.
By comparison, today you can fly that same route for about $330 (or even cheaper if you're
one to look around for good deals).
Second, airliners today are faster, more fuel efficient, and more environmentally friendly
than at any time in the past, drastically reducing the amount of particulates they spew
into the air, reducing flight duration, and generally making for more comfortable flying.
Third, airlines fly to more places than ever before, making practically any point on the
planet accessible by air.
And, finally, air safety has improved dramatically in the last five decades.
How much has it improved?
According to statisticians at M.I.T., the death risk for passengers in the United States
today is one in 45 million flights.
In other words, flying has become so reliable that a traveler could fly every day for an
average of 123,000 years before being in a fatal crash.
(Compare that to fifty years ago, when there were ten fatal airliner accidents worldwide
that left a total of 466 people dead.
In 2013, only 195 people perished and this despite the fact that there are ten times
as many aircraft flying than there were fifty years ago.)
All things considered, travel by air is still your best value and the safest means of travel
known to mankind.
8.
Electronics
Imagine if you were to go back to 1964.
You would probably be watching a black and white television that gets maybe four channels,
listening to AM radio, playing vinyl records on your Hi-Fi, and generally making do with
a minimum of electronic gadgets.
In contrast, today you have iPods, iPhones, personal computers, game stations, massive
HD flat screen TVs with 300 cable channels to choose from, GPS tracking, satellite radio,
microwaves, and a whole host of other innovations and devices undreamed of fifty years ago.
When you consider that your little beat-up, ten year old piece-of-junk PC you can't
even give away has a thousand times more computing power than the largest and most expensive
computer in 1964 possessed, you can't help but be impressed with the strides electronics
have taken in just the last thirty years alone.
Plus, it's extraordinarily cheap, especially if you wait a little while after a new device
is introduced for the price to tumble (as it invariably will).
It's almost scary to imagine where this revolution will take us in the next fifty
years, but if the last fifty has been any indication, get ready to be dazzled!
7.
Human Rights
I know there are still despots and tyrants out there who treat their own populace like
cattle, and starvation, disease, and poverty are still concerns in many spots around the
world, but when compared to what things were like fifty years ago, only the most hard-core
pessimist can fail to see the tremendous improvements that have taken place since then.
When one considers that homosexuality was considered a treatable mental illness fifty
years ago (at best), women in positions of power were practically unheard of, and three
quarters of the world's population lived at or below poverty level, one can't help
but see improvement.
Yes, there is still income inequality in some countries, the rights of women and minorities
are still suppressed in some regions of the world, and poverty remains the norm in some
of the poorest counties, but the fact is that for most people, things have improved dramatically.
Disease and starvation are far less common, more democracies exist than ever before, and—thanks
in part to the internet—human rights abuses and atrocities are far less tolerated than
in the past.
We're far from achieving anything approaching a utopian world—nor are we likely to anytime
in the near future—but it's hard to deny that there is at least progress being made.
6.
Frozen Dinners
Before the advent of the microwave some fifty years ago, frozen dinners were dismal affairs
whose taste was often indistinguishable from the containers they were packaged in.
Plus, it took a good twenty to thirty minutes to heat up most of them, and the selection
was very limited and largely unimaginative.
Today, in contrast, one can find a veritable smorgasbord of international culinary delights
in their freezer that can be prepared in a few minutes, many of which rival the food
served in many of the finest restaurants in terms of quality and taste (and, I might add,
they are cheaper.
Restaurant food can be pricey.)
In fact, so good and easy have frozen dinners become that today they comprise many people's
main diet, with most families preparing a meal from prepackaged frozen dinners as often
as four times a week.
While this has had the unfortunate consequence of making traditional cooking a dying art,
it has the benefit in that frozen dinners save the gastrointestinal system of those
whose partner or parents are horrible cooks.
Further, frozen dinners have also almost single-handedly banished that scourge of the refrigerator
and freezer: the dreaded leftover.
If that isn't something to rejoice about, I don't know is.
5.
Movie Special Effects
Growing up in the sixties, I was often subjected to special effects that could only be described
as primordial at best, from a guy in a rubber suit stomping on a model of Tokyo to stop
motion animation and rubber spiders on strings.
Of course, as a kid, at the time I thought these effects were pretty cool, but when I
see these same movies on late night TV today, I can only cringe—or laugh—at how hokey
Godzilla looked and how cheesy the first Star Trek episodes were.
Today, thanks to CGI (Computer Generated Imagining), we can make astonishingly convincing dinosaurs,
dragons, spaceships—even entire ancient cities—that early special effect wizards
could only dream of.
Some of the best of this stuff is so real, in fact, that one can often have trouble determining
reality from good CGI.
Unfortunately, as is often the case with all such improvements, there is a down side.
Many movies have become so enamored with dazzling effects that they have forgotten how to tell
a good story, or they so overdo it that eventually one becomes indifferent and even bored after
seeing the same effects a dozen times.
Still, when great special effects, good acting, and a compelling story are brought together—as
is occasionally the case—the results can be remarkable.
4.
Space Travel
In 1964, America was still taking its first, unsteady steps into outer space in the little
two-man Gemini spacecraft, unsure if its astronauts would survive the next mission.
The spacecraft were small, expensive, and dangerous, but they were necessary steps in
man's quest for the stars.
Today, in contrast, space travel is almost routine, far more cost effective in terms
of cost per pound of payload, and so simple that even civilian companies are getting into
the act by offering to fly rich tourists into orbit for the chance to gaze upon the planet
from fifty miles up.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the dramatic advances made in electronics
and rocketry, and space travel is still a risky business, but compared to where it was
fifty years ago, it's no longer that amazing an accomplishment to put a man—or woman,
for that matter—into space.
Further, this trend will only continue as rocket engines get smaller and more powerful,
construction materials become more rugged and cost effective, and the private sector
takes over space in much the same way it took over the airline industry almost a century
ago.
As a result, one day our grandchildren will see spaceflight as no more remarkable a feat
than an airline flight from New York to Paris is considered today, and will wonder what
all the fuss was about.
3.
Fashion
Fashions come and go, but consider that back in 1964 things were far more ordinary and
less flashy than they are today.
Back then the average Joe—and Jill—didn't have a huge selection of styles or materials
from which to choose.
As a result, men commonly wore suits and leather shoes and women generally wore dresses adorned
with bizarre hats of all shapes and sizes.
There were not nearly a thousand different brands and kinds of tennis shoes to choose
from (there were only KEDS canvas sneakers), patterns were generally limited to stripes,
solids, or polka dots, and most clothing was made from cotton, wool, or something in between.
In contrast, today the sky's the limit in terms of fashion choices available to both
men and woman, with all the benefits (and consequences) that portends.
All the colors of the rainbow in any material you can imagine are readily available, and
styles are as varied as each person's personality type.
The only downside is today it can be difficult to pick out the women from the men as clothing
styles are largely unisexual, and then there's that nasty epidemic of ugly tattoos and bizarre
body piercings out there to deal with.
On second thought, maybe fashion is in a downward spiral after all…
2.
Pollution
I know that concerns over global warming, climate change, the ozone layer and such are
all the rage, but it is difficult to maintain that things have not improved dramatically
over the last fifty years—especially in the west.
During the sixties, smog was bad in most major American and European cities and only promised
to get worst as populations continued to grow and more automobiles hit the roads.
Further, streams were often dumping grounds for all manner of toxic chemicals, and piles
of trash were ubiquitous alongside of roadways, in alleys, and even in nature, which was often
looked upon as one great garbage dump.
Contrast that with today, with our much more stringent emission standards on both automobiles
and industrial plants, the shift towards renewable energy, and strict dumping and waste management
standards and smog has become rare in most cities, rivers and lakes are far cleaner,
and even littering is becoming less common.
Clearly, changing public attitudes, a vigorous recycling infrastructure, and greater environmental
awareness have also done much to improve matters.
Of course, pollution is still a big problem in some developing countries—in particular
China and India—and it is growing worse (at least in some developing nations) but
it is only a matter of time before even they are forced to raise air and water quality
standards for the good of public safety, portending a cleaner environment in the future.
1.
World Peace
I know many people imagine the world to be one big tinderbox just waiting for a match
to be thrown, but the fact is the world is a far more peaceful place than it was just
fifty years ago.
Some may laugh at such apparent naiveté on my part, but consider the facts: between the
end of the Second World War in 1945 and thirty years later in 1975, there were no fewer than
four Arab-Israeli wars, three wars between India and Pakistan, devastating wars in Korea
and Vietnam, major insurgencies in French Indochina, Algeria, and the Belgian Congo,
and costly civil wars in Nigeria, Greece, Indonesia, Hungary and Cuba.
Further, dictatorships ruled most of South and Latin America, Africa, and Asia, while
the shadow of the cold war hovered over the entire world, just waiting for someone to
make a mistake, ushering in a nuclear Armageddon.
What a difference a few decades have made.
With the collapse of communism in Russia and the fall of the Soviet Union, Germany became
reunited, the counties of eastern Europe became free, and the danger of nuclear holocaust
became greatly diminished.
Further, normalization of relations with a once implacable Red China has turned that
country from a fierce adversary into a major trading partner, while one by one authoritarian
regimes have been supplanted by democracies all around the world.
Of course, there are still wars—though they tend to be smaller, shorter in duration, and
less destructive affairs than those of the past—and terrorism remains a threat, but
it's hard to deny that the world is not nearly as dangerous a place as it was when
I was growing up.
Of course, all of that is subject to change without notice, but the threats to peace we
see today from countries like North Korea and Iran are mere fleabites compared to the
twin dangers Stalinist Russia and Mao's China posed just a few decades ago.
Not peace in our time, perhaps, but steps in
the right direction.

Multimedia resources by Teacher Communities - Duration: 14:38.
okay I thought I'd make a few comments on teacher resources. I had a little, sort of,
discussion with a couple of teachers in the last couple of days. I've noticed on
Twitter, that suddenly, some people might dispute this, but suddenly, people have
started to put up video resources and groups like the COG science and Team
English have begun to sort of coalesce as "grass roots" resource building
communities.Now I find this quite interesting because going right back to
1994 I started to produce resources for the internet before even really just as
the world wide web was beginning I was on the internet before the world wide
web and one of the first things as a primary teacher I noticed was that there
were no resources for the British Museum and my school the school I worked in was
doing Ancient Greeks on the curriculum and people talk about there being
knowledge organizers and things like that nowadays well the
first thing I wanted to do was go to the British Museum and I took a camera I
took an SLR and I photographed loads and loads and loads of the Ancient Greek
resources. I did ask the museum permission, the museum's permission and
they kindly gave me the permission because I remember even five/ ten years
back they used to be Kodachrome slides of exhibits in the British Museum and
then there weren't any in the mid 90s now there's a whole plethora of
wonderful resources on the web by the museum itself but in those days nothing.
So being the school closest to the British Museum and the fact that I
took school parties there on a regular basis and I'd written lots and lots of
worksheets to go with the exhibits in the cases because I always believed and
still do that children shouldn't walk through museums, shouldn't breeze through a
museum they need to have their attention focus specifically on the objects and
get them to think around how those objects were used and in the context of
that historical period as much as you can do but it does give us at a very
graphic, concrete example for them. So I took a polarizer which is a special lens
and I took loads and loads and loads of photographs of several of the museums in
the ancient Greek Trail and I put those up online. I taught myself HTML I sat
down I taught myself HTML I put them up online. Within days I was getting a
quarter of a million hits but not from this country because no one was online
in this country at that particular time. Mostly from California and
schoolchildren doing their school projects on the west coast of California
and so therefore I realised that this was quite a big deal. So in these times of Knowledge
Organisers it was very interesting to see that even in those days just to let
people know that someone like me who's quite, maybe more on the progressive side
of things, would take and atomise certain aspects of the curriculum, which
we are all discussing now, get examples of that in museums and put them up. Subsequently
with my class, I think was my year 3 year 4 class, we went to the Science Museum
and we did the same thing; we created a whole trail to do with the science of
materials exhibition that was on at the time and we actually put all that up and
we won the first STEM competition for multimedia materials online. You have got to
remember that this is in the mid-90s so it was sort of, a not very well known
thing to do in those days. I've always been an outlier in that in
that respect. So I mean one of the things I used to do was take my planning
week-by-week and in all the subject areas say what we were doing and put it
into a PDF and put it online. Only about one of two parents could read that in
those days if anyone in the population you know we were a run-of-the-mill
London school quite difficult kids in there as well
that would be sort of standard now people would be able to pull that down
and read it. So as I gained expertise in making multimedia I was then
commissioned by the Science Museum to be a museum online, sort of, writer for a web
page. So again I went deeper into HTML and I taught myself Flash and created
interactives and also created a lot of ... I created a whole site on the history
of astronomy to do with the Apollo 10 capsule that they have at the Museum and
that was put up on the Franklin Museum site and the Science Museum site. And the
deeper I went into it the more expertise I got and this is on top of a full-time
teaching job; so I was doing 80, 90, 100 hours a week, not sleeping half the time
and that led to me writing a book and that led to me having to leave teaching
in the end because my expertise became so great that I was given the choice by
my head teacher either I'd stop going out and consulting on things or working
for firms or I leap sideways and take a a job and I eventually did in a big film
company which where I then learned all about live-streaming and film and part
of my job was to take Shakespearean texts and create resources for them or
blue sky them. And what I was doing in those days was looking at CDs and
whether you could link text in the CD to the precise bit in the Shakespearean
play so you could jump from one specific bit in that Shakespearean play in the
film directly to the text and vice versa and we also did a whole
classical music site and resource which allowed someone to build their own
classical music resources according to the QCA curriculum in those days. Now the
point is fast forward 20 years, 22 years yeah, and people are beginning because of
the wonder of YouTube and online resources like that, beginning to put up
little YouTube films. Now part of what I wanted to say to the teachers was: If you
actually use the technology precisely enough you can get that granularity of
detail that you want to have for when you're teaching it. Also you'll be able
to build a bigger cohesive resource but here's the rub: these teachers who are
now finding it easier because the technology has got so easy let's face it
you can stick up a film just by putting a camera on tripod turning it on filming
someone it's not as easy as that but more or less is push it right up to to
YouTube but when you ask people when you ask teachers to go that little bit
further like point out that you can actually take the transcript which the
Google is now very good at, the AI, and pull that down, it'll only take you about
10 minutes to edit it, then you could put that up as a text resource as well.
Also you can timestamp various specific bits within the film so if you wanted to
reference these resources, in a bundle, you could but of course the teachers then
say: Well we can't do that we can't it's it's it's taking away from our
commitment to our communities and (adding)to our workload and that's fair enough I
understand that I had that back in the day myself I was doing an 80, 90
to a 100 hour week. And of course what inevitably happens is the people who do
do that inevitably build up enough expertise to jump out of teaching
because they do go the extra mile. You know I find a lot of
people who say this, also - you know, work their way up to writing a book, which - you
know, it's the same thing and it's probably more labor-intensive but my
gripe really is, that either the College of Teaching and/or the DFE should be paying
for a group of teachers to be able to do this and not everyone is going to be
like me a total nutter who will go out and learn all this and learn all the
knowledge to actually transmit the knowledge - that's quite interesting.
Looking at various theories coming up now about dual coding I noticed
that that I was up to that back in the mid 90s. I know the theory behind all
that and it's interesting to see how that's evolving coming to the fore now
how you use multimedia resources. So my point is this: When we had the Curriculum
Online, they asked all the consultants what they should put in the curriculum
and how they should build the resources and things. Well that's not how things
evolve in terms of teaching communities. What they learned very quickly is that
that was a failure. People didn't want to actually have a Curriculum
Online and then pull it down; what happened was, in terms of "folksonomies",
this is where people... it emerges from grassroots in what people want and if
you make it easy enough for people to build the resources from their own
communities, and I've said this for over 20 years because, you know, of my history
and then you are able to build a substantial, robust resource that will
stand the test of time.
The problem is workload and free time and really, this is something the College
of teaching or the DfE or other professional organizations need to think
about. To be able to enable people to do that, and I would suggest a sabbatical
for someone who is fairly technical savvy and who has the knowledge in
specialist fields in specific subject areas or in the primary area, someone been given
a sabbatical of six months to a year to be able to work with teachers and build
this resource and then to put it out there for free. That seems to me like the
real Curriculum Online that should have been happening 10, 20 years ago and we
are at the point now where the ability to be able to film and transmit that
knowledge and do it in a way that's really clever, and I feel still that
people need to work on how they do that in terms of putting out information;
there are specific ways that you could make it more easily digestible, could be
done. And I don't know why anyone isn't, sort of, pushing this and and in, in, in
that sense, this is what I wanted to to push on the agenda is that: Yes, if people
haven't got the time,they've got the time to create the initial resource and
they've got the time to sort of link it up in an ad hoc way on on Twitter or use
their subject associations, but in my, in my limited a sort of opinion that
subject associations tend to be too bureaucratic when you've got this
free-range Twitter dynamic dynamicism or whatever whatever the word is happening
and is just still happening because they did ask for examples of this and I still
see very very few examples coming from the community because very few people
actually are makers when it comes to resources in terms of putting them out
there for a wider audience let's say...So, really at this point, what would be most
useful for the teaching community I think would be paid sabbaticals for
someone to liaise with these associations and I don't want to do it but I think it
should come from the teaching force and get people to use this expertise. So if
you want knowledge organisers, if you want to flesh them out with specific
videos or specific animations or specific
Multimedia (I'm not talking about PowerPoint) I'm talking about specific
highly focused pieces of information around that knowledge, which you can then
tie together in a cohesive manner so that you have it indexed and filed. So
that someone searching for it can actually go off and find a specific
resource either for them for their CPD as a professional or for their
students. So that's what I wanted to say really. We're we're still, even after - I
think 20 years, only on the lip of being able to use new technologies and media
in very highly specific, rigorous, if you want, ways and I think there should be no
excuses for not pushing forward with that but at the same time I think
government and subject associations and something like the College should be
able to offer that kind of arena for people to create and that's all I'm
going to say on the subject...
