The USS Nimitz, USS Ronald Reagan, and USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike groups are
in the 7th fleet's area of operations AOO, which ranges from the international date line
to the western Indian Ocean—a large swathe of the earth's oceans. This kind of convergence
of three super carriers is unprecedented.
Observers suggested that the rare convergence of three carrier strike groups in the region
would send a strong message to North Korea, which has launched twenty ballistic missiles
to date in 2017 and tested one presumably thermonuclear device. The convergence also
comes just days before U.S. President Donald Trump will depart to East and Southeast Asia
on his first trip to the region.It will also serve to reassure allies.
It must be noted that each of these ships lead their own Carrier Strike Group.
Each of the 3-strike group has at least one cruiser, a destroyer squadron of at least
two destroyers and or frigates, as well as nuclear powered submarine. Apart from that,
multiple Logistic ships and AWACS support them.
In this video, Defense Updates looks at the 3 most important components of the strike
group, namely the Carrier itself, the Destroyers, & the Submarines one by one, and analyzes
how powerful the combined force of 3 carriers strike group is?
All the 3 ships are of NIMITZ class.
The Nimitz-class supercarriers are a class of 10 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in
service with the United States Navy. The lead ship of the class is named for World War II
United States Pacific Fleet commander Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz.
Nimitz-class aircraft carriers were designed to be improvements on previous U.S. aircraft
carriers, in particular the Enterprise and Forrestal-class.
Nimitz CVN-68 was commissioned on 3 May 1975, Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) on12 July 2003 & USS
Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) on 25 October 1986
Nimitz-class ships each cost around $4.5 billion and have been the symbol of U.S power. They
have been used to project power far off from US mainland.
All 10 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers were constructed between 1968 and 2006 at Newport
News Shipbuilding Company, Virginia, in the largest dry-dock in the western hemisphere.
These are some of the largest vessels constructed. All the 3 ships have a displacement of around
100000 tons, and overall length of 332.8 m (1,092 feet). To give viewers a perspective,
it is about 3 football fields long.
Each of this ship is powered by two A4W nuclear reactors, kept in separate compartments.
These power 4 propeller shafts and can produce a maximum speed of over 30 knots or 56 km/h.
As a result of the use of nuclear power, the ships are capable of operating continuously
for over 20 years without refueling, and are predicted to have a service life of over 50
years. Practically they have unlimited range.
All of these 3 super carriers have a flight group of more than 60 aircraft, including
F-18 jet fighters. These are twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather
carrier-capable 4th generation multirole fighter aircrafts.
They have a payload of 7700 kg (17000 lbs), and can carry ground attack weapons as well
as air-to-air missiles.
Nimitz class possesses multitude of different radars including electronically scanned array
3D radars. It is equipped with 16 to 24 RIM-7 Sea Sparrow
or NATO Sea Sparrow missiles. RIM-7 Sea Sparrow is a US ship-borne short-range anti-aircraft
and anti-missile weapon system, primarily intended for defense against anti-ship missiles.
Close in weapon (CIWS) duties are performed by Phalanx, & RIM-116 Rolling Airframe missile.
The Destroyer component of the Carrier Strike Group generally contains 1 or 2 Arleigh Burke-class
guided missile destroyers. The class is named for ADMIRAL ARLEIGH BURKE,
the most famous American destroyer officer of World War II, and later Chief of Naval
Operations. US Navy has 66 of these, each costing around
$1.843 billion.
Arleigh Burke-class warships are designed as multi mission destroyers capable of Anti
Aircraft Warfare (AAW), Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW), Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) and
Anti Surface warfare (ASuW). These can operate in open sea or coastal waters.
Arleigh Burke class destroyers are among the largest destroyers in the world.
They have an overall length of about 505 to 509 feet (154 to 155 m) and displacement of
about 9,200 tons.
They have a speed of 30+ knots (55+ km/h) and range of 4,400 nmi (8,100 km).
The Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers (DDGs) is the United States Navy's
first class of destroyer built around the Aegis Combat System.
The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System is a US Department of Defense Missile Defense
Agency program developed to provide defense against short to intermediate-range ballistic
missiles. Aegis BMD is designed to intercept ballistic missiles post-boost phase and prior
to reentry.
It enables Arleigh Burke destroyers to shoot down enemy ballistic missiles by expanding
the Aegis Combat System with the addition of the AN/SPY-1 radar and Standard missile
technologies. SM-3 missile having range of 2,500 km & speed of Mach 10.2 is expected
to be particularly effective.
Arleigh Burke class destroyers are one of the most heavily armed destroyers in the world
and are designed to be a multi weapons platform:
They have 96 cell Mk 41 VLS, which can be configured with the combination of different
weapons, based on mission. Here are some important once.
1.Tomahawk cruise missile for Land attack 2.RIM-66M Standard medium range SAM for air
defense 3.RIM-161 Standard Ballistic missile for AEGIS
ballistic missile defense
It also has 2 × Mk 141 Harpoon Missile Launcher for Anti Ship role.
2 × Mark 32 triple torpedo tubes are present for launching Mk-46 or Mk-50 torpedoes
2 MH-60R Seahawk LAMPS III helicopters are also present for Anti Submarine Warfare.
Other than these, they are equipped with long-range naval gun and multiple Close In Weapon System.
The VIRGINIA CLASS, also known as the SSN-774 class, is a class of nuclear-powered fast
attack submarines (hull classification symbol SSN) in service with the United States Navy.
The submarines are designed for a broad spectrum of open-ocean and littoral (shallow coastal
water) missions. US Navy has 13 of these and also building
another 6. The of these cost around $1.8 billions.
These have length of 377 ft (115 m) and displacement of around 7,900 metric tons
Being nuclear powered, these can stay underneath the ocean surface for an unlimited amount
of time, constrained by only food supply and maintenance requirements.
Powered by 30 MW, S9G reactor, these submarines can reach speed of 25 knots and can move down
to depths of 800 ft (240 m).
Virginia class is designed to take out enemy surface vessel, submarines as well can strike
ground targets
12 VLS & four torpedo tubes, capable of launching Mark 48 torpedoes, UGM-109 Tactical Tomahawks,
Harpoon missile.
Mark 48 torpedoes have effective firing range of 38 km, and have a 650 lb warhead. A single
hit fro this torpedo can be deadly for any ship or submarine.
The Tomahawk is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic missile that is used for land-based
attacks. At 5.56 m long without a booster, traveling
at 880 km per hour, it is capable of delivering more than 450 kilograms of conventional explosives.
Harpoon missile having speed of 537 miles per hours, and range of around 120 km plays
the role of anti ship missile.
The combined force of 3-carrier strike group will have around 200 F 18 Super Hornet strike
aircrafts. The MiG-29 is the K P A F's most modern fighter and North Korea operates approximately
40 of these. F 18 strike aircrafts equipped with modern
air-to-air missile and coupled with US fighter pilot's better training and strategy will
be able to take out the North Korean air force in few hours.
North Korea has no Destroyers and has very few Frigates and Corvettes. The vessels are
no match for the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
The North Korean military is in possession of a fleet of about 70 submarines, comprised
of approximately 20 Romeo class submarines (1,800 tons), 40 Sang-O class submarines (300
tons) and 10 Yono class submarines (130 tons).
These submarines being small and fairly silent have the potential to sneak in close to US
Carrier Strike Group. But given the Carrier Strike Group will have cover from P-8 Poseidon
Anti Submarine aircraft, apart from its own submarine and Anti submarine warfare capable
Arleigh Burke-class, chances of North Korean vessels causing major damage is unlikely.
In simple terms, the 3 carrier strike group has more than enough capability to decimate
the North Korean military in few days.

Building and Holding Your Energetic Fire | Quantum Consult #13 - Duration: 11:11.
Do you have any ideas of what you want to talk about in these eleven minutes?
You know honestly the first thing that probably pops up is still like all the
different workshops and all the stuff I've done there's still like these
moments where you know I'll go back to like feeling just super down or like
almost just like senses of like hopelessness and stuff like that and
yeah I mean the biggest things I've been working on is like commitment and
consistency and grounding and essentially just try not to embrace like
the darkness but I don't know I guess like just find that more consistency and really just more..
When you say "trying not to embrace the darkness" what do you mean
No, no, no. Actually trying to embrace the darkness but at the same time I guess yeah I
don't know just really in certain ways just to provide more clarity on a
purpose but also I think just more or less just find out ways I can not keep
going to those dark places cuz I have been there so many times.
What is the dark place look like? what is that? What is it this that you don't want to
experience again?
Um just feeling super down even to the points
of like you know.. even just earlier this year like feeling like I don't want to
be here-like be here on this planet and realizing like I have so many gifts and
so many talents to you know offer to the world but yeah
and then when you said
not be here on this planet are you alluding to like suicidal thoughts or tendencies?
Uhm, yeah a little bit-like I said I mean that there was
really only just like one point in time where those have like-you know, really..
never even thought of actually like doing it or anything of that nature but
yeah I mean once again just more or less just like feelings of hopelessness
On that note I want immediately for me and you and for anyone that's watching like
suicidal thoughts to me is something that's way over taboo-ized. I don't
know if that's even a word but I think at some point everyone must have thought
about-suicide. That's a big difference than actually going through with it so I
appreciate you being vulnerable enough to share something that I think a lot of
other people wouldn't.
Yeah. I mean I have gone through experience-I could even
share with you later, of saving my cousin's life just over a year ago.
It's the proudest moment of my life-physically being there as he was
smashing his wrist with the knife and there's a lot while it goes into the
story. I won't-like don't think we really need to get into right now but..
so when you say you've experienced what this darker sides or darker times.. you sound
like you have experience not only for yourself but for..
oh yeah being there for
someone and literally like saving his life. Being in that presence.
Cool thank you for being there for that. And you said this planet-not being here on this
planet. Where.. Do you think you'd go somewhere else outside this planet?
I mean, I personally do believe that I think our souls here right now do
continue to be reincarnated but I think there are other dimensions and other
places that we can go as well and I thin we have been.
Ok. Cool.
Just wanted to get a little clarity on "this planet." Because sometimes-I'm not saying this is
the case for you but sometimes I think people build up fantasies and I'm..
They might be as real as people believe them to be or they might even be realer
but yeah I don't know what's more real than what's happening right now. So when
someone says this planet or this dimension or this this universe.. Sometimes I
feel a little like they might be seducing themselves into an idea that's
not as real as what's happening right now.
Okay.
So that's something that came up for me
and my main like-if I had a guess for you and
I don't know about the darkness but I do see this-it seems like you're
overcharged. Like there's an amount of energy in your body that I would wonder
what it what you would do or what your behavior-how your behavior might shift
if you didn't didn't leak it and movements and sporadicness and it almost
looks like you have so much energy-I'm just wondering what happened instead of
letting it out if you circle that back for yourself and you harnessed it
for the moment to strike rather than being like a ecstatic and crazy and wild.
Filling my own cup and giving from the overflow-like we just had this
discussion with the Misfits yesterday and one of the names for me is the
Energetic Emancipator.
The Energetic Emancipator. Okay cool and was that mean
to you? So what that means to me is like I have so much energy and so much
capability that I can free others from their own things and like I feel like by
being so vulnerable with myself-that allows others to be very vulnerable and
there were just multiple instances even just yesterday where people
literally had directly told me "oh wow thank you for just being that way and
now I'm able to open this side of myself."
Yeah and I trust that.. I think
you're very authentic in this behavior and the very like-the overcharge that
I'm talking about.. I don't think you're being deceptive or manipulative but I am
thinking that you have so much energy and I'm wondering if there was a more of
a using that energy-using it and like purposely using it.
Understanding it. Knowing it. Purposely not expending it. Like
when you feel like "oh I want to go crazy" or "I'm going to go do this" or "I want
to do that" or "I'm going to scream or yell or I'm gonna dance."
I wonder what happens if you purposely not do it in those moments and
almost-it's like you're building the fire, building the fire, building a fire.
So then when it's time to strike, whether that's with a friend thats in
need of your help or in need of your energy or whether that's a project a
passion project or a job or an opportunity to make money I'm just like
wondering what that would look like if all that energy was like bottling up
fermenting. Rather than continuously..
A lot more focused.
Yea, like lasered
rather than just like radiating all the time. I'm
not sure how that relates to this potential escapism of making sure that
you don't slip into the darkness or that you're not avoiding the darkness but
really embracing it.
I think you know part of it has to do with you know being
so over the top and sometimes I'm like such clouds that then the universe knows
no other way except you know polarity to kind of bring me back down.
Okay so you're-you that what you think that might be what's happening is a
balancing mechanism for you. Now what about what I'm saying we have about
four minutes left. What if that supercharged-you started saving it?
You started literally like creating a storage of that charge and then instead
of instead of always being so charged that you know how to keep that energy
column. It's like a volcano or a geyser rather than just kind of leaking the gas
all the time that you know how to explode it. When it's time to explode it
in the meantime you're like keeping it-you're holding it. Just as like if
someone sleeps how important sleep is.. I'm wondering how important rest might
be to you so you don't have to go to both extremes.
Yeah. Like purposeful rest.
Purposeful rest because in the past sometimes
there's was a couple of years where I was so used to just sitting around
and not really actually doing much so once again.
And that was probably a
suppression. I'm not I know this is a really like kind of esoteric thing I'm
explaining. It's not clear to me either. But it's like this. Let's just say if
Nathaniel, my youngest brother-he was a world champ great swimmer.
Top of the class-top of the United States swimmer. And for his
trainings of his event, towards the event time he would
start tapering so he would train his body literally into an obliteration and
then like two weeks up before this race he would stop moving. Like two weeks he
would start doing half the workouts like ten days he would do 1/4 of the workouts
a week before his race he would not he would refuse to carry his backpack
upstairs because he knew what was coming and he knew it was like time-"this is my
time to strike. This is my time to shine. This is when the world is looking at me
and by resting up to this point-by working myself as hard as I can and then
giving myself the proper rest-the taper then I can perform in a level I've never
performed before." Do you see that do you see these strategy in that type of
working out? This is what a lot Olympians do. They'll
build-expend all the energy they can and then up to the race time they start
resting ridiculous amounts, sleeping as much as they can, eating
as much as they can and almost being sloppish on purpose
because then they know the big games around the corner so I'm wondering what
it would look like if you start scheduling yourself big games, big events.
Do you have anything like that right now?
Uhm, no.
No, what is your big game?
What's your big event with your-with a minute and a half left. What is it? What is your swimming?
Honestly I'm not really sure. I mean.. there is a part of me that enjoys running
but like I guess like the idea of a marathon..
No. Not even anything
physical. I'm saying what's your performance? Like what's your gift to the
world? At that point the gift of the world for my brother was swimming faster
than anybody. What's your gift to the world?
I mean honestly I think my gift..
one of my biggest gifts the world is being so vulnerable and being so of my
true authentic self that I'm able to elicit and bring that out in others.
How do you want to do that? Like what's your way that you do that the best?
Not really sure.
What about retreats or seminars or a workshop or a playshop anything like
that? Have you thought about facilitating your own?
Nit really, no. And also I
think another thing is actually just like speaking into the camera and stuff.
And like, the responses I got just from one Facebook post that I put. "Why I'm So
Grateful For My Anxiety And Depression." you know?
And that was good? You felt
good about that? Do you have any of those scheduled?
No.
What was that just a live Facebook video?
No no there's it was some
Instagram videos - just like 15-second clips that I saved.
I would like to.. My prescription at this point with 30 seconds left here
is.. I'm having this inkling that, if you schedule something once a week where you
were fully performed and fully embodied in your energy that that might
be a path to you not only unveiling your gift but giving that gift in the
most potent and powerful way. Something so you know like.. your unconscious
knows that you are charging yourself to be fully expressed rather than
sporadically or randomly fully expressing yourself.

Stronghold Tournament (In a Castle!) - Duration: 5:45.
Hi it's the morning of the big event, I just got up,
out there you can see the castle that I'll be going to in a moment and before I go there
I wanted to take a warm shower but the pipes in the hotel broke so now I'm gonna have to
get the real medical experience of showering cold before climbing up to the castle.
I'm on my way now to castle Trifels and the reason we're doing the party on this castle specifically
is that after the third Crusades, Richard the Lionheart was held captive on this castle.
He was kept there from anything between four weeks and a couple months - historians aren't quite sure -
but he was a prisoner until he paid 23.4 tons of silver for his release.
And I'm now gonna go up and I'm gonna meet the people from Burgenfuchs and GDKE,
the two organizations that helped put this event together and let's see what awaits me.
I'm almost at the castle Trifels, this is as far as we can go by car.
Behind me, you can see the castle. It's still one hundred meters up on the hill.
That's where I'm gonna walk to now. Wish me good luck, I hope I can survive the way up.
Castle Trifels, war dog free zone.
Okay, I made it up the hill, it was a long journey, but I survived.
I don't even want to imagine what was like in medieval times,
but behind me you can already see the castle walls of castle Trifels.
I'm finally here, so let's go inside and see what it's like.
I'm on top of castle Trifels, as you can see it's a wonderful view from here.
You can see all the invading forces from miles away and archers up here definitely had the better position.
Behind me here are the German crown jewels. These are the reason that this castle exists.
This castle was built in order to defend these crown jewels because whoever had these was in control of the country.
And they built this castle and three others or four others around in the circle
so that they could see any invading forces and no army ever reached this place.
Behind me downstairs are 18 teams of players
competing against each other in Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader 2. Let's see who the winner will be.
Aaaaaand ... the winners of the Herr der Klinge Tournament are ...
the team with a score of 89739 points. Please help me welcome - with a drumroll ...
Team 16!
But what did Team 16 actually win?
That's the big question: What's the main prize?
For one, Team 16 will receive
A voucher for a trip including return flights & accommodation for one night to visit Firefly Studios in London.
Well, I didn't expect a prize this great, I'm already looking forward to it.
It's surely going to be fun and interesting.
The event was generally fun.
Yeah, I'm also happy that we won. The prize, obviously, is really nice.
Stronghold 1 was one of the first ever strategy games I played.
We used to play it together at his place with two laptops.
That we now - 10 years, or however many years later - win a prize in this game is obviously great.
And then on a castle, especially with Richard the Lionheart, who is part of Stronghold Crusader,
that was nice, it really was a nice event.
- And I'm sure we would do this again. - Definitely.

$63,000 CAMERA :: What do the images look like? - Duration: 18:54.
this is quite possibly the most over-the-top camera that I have ever had
an opportunity to share with you guys on this show today we're gonna be talking
about the Phase One XF medium format camera with the IQ3 monochrome back the
Phase One system if you are not familiar with it this is a medium format digital
camera and it is a modular system so that means not only can you interchange
the lenses you can also interchange the backs and the back that we're looking at
today and the one I got to use was the IQ3 monochrome to my knowledge is the
only one in the country right now it's the first one at least there have been
game changer cameras throughout history obviously you know if you look at more
the modern era I think you consider things like Leica's the Nikon F
Nikon F3 when you get into digital cameras things like the Canon 5d
series particularly the mark 2 which introduced video but there are cameras
that come along that really redefine things and this back in particular
redefines it from me now it is a monochrome back which means it shoots
black and white and there are other companies that make monochrome cameras
but this one is very different and the reason it is we're gonna get into this
when we look at some images in a second but basically the IQ3 monochrome is
able to capture light beyond the visual spectrum so if you consider the whole
spectrum of light you have ultraviolet you have infrared and then in the middle
is what the human eye can detect and so it's just kind of a small space in that
entire spectrum of light and this camera because it doesn't have a Bayer filter
in the way the sensor is designed actually starts cutting into the
infrared spectrum and it's pretty amazing it's not an infrared camera but
it does pick up a wider range of light in monochrome that we are able there
sorry a wider range than what we are capable of seeing and this allows you to
start shaping that using filters and such and I'm going to show you with the
sample images it is unbelievably amazing might as well get this out of the way
there's a little running joke that we have here that Apple started a couple
weeks ago deeper pixels that's right and look all the glass and the stainless
thanks Phil so on a scale of one to ten of your deeper pixels deeper pixels with
maybe the iPhone sorry Apple being one and the phase one where does that fall
ten didn't quite catch that TEN that's more like it
I would give this a 10 not only are the pixels deeper but they're also actually
bigger on the sensor because you have a much bigger sensor
to work with and even with a hundred and one megapixels there's a lot of room the
low-light performance on this camera we will get to in just a second keep that
in mind it's pretty much not an issue so before we get into the physical features
of the camera I want to look at some images because that really is the
important takeaway with this camera and before we do I want to give a shout out

shout-out and thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring another episode of the art of
photography okay so I want to share with you guys some of the image files from
this camera and I'm actually using an image editor called Capture One which is
made by Phase One I do want to note that Lightroom will not read these files it
does not play ball so you have to use Capture One for these having
said that though I'm very impressed with Capture One there's some things that you
can do in here that you can't do in Lightroom and it's pretty amazing just
the image quality and what you can do with it as an editor anyway this first
image this is one that I have done some edits to and the way this was shot is
actually so it's later in the afternoon and the Sun was starting to set and it
was right behind this flag and so I really wanted to get this image where I
had these dark shadows in the front and you can see the flag kind of with this
glowing quality to it and one of the things that I love about this camera is
that this sensor is able to do things that typical cameras can't in that you
retain a lot of detail in the really dark shadows and also they're really
bright highlights okay so I'm gonna zoom in here to a hundred percent so you can
kind of see the detail you're getting one thing I'm going to note here is that
even when I move this around I mean it's amazing at 101 megapixels of course you
would expect to have this kind of quality but what's also interesting is
that Capture One even when I move it it takes just a second to render the image
but it keeps up really well and it responds really quickly and it's it's a
pretty amazing combination this camera and Capture One but this is an example
of an image I have done some editing on and I want to look at some images now
that are straight off the camera so this is my friend David Brookover you
might remember him from the artist series David is an incredible guy and
he's also probably one of the greatest living landscape photographers today
he's really amazing anyway he was in town with a couple friends and I did a
video on that last week and you saw us in that video just shooting some
portraits casually in the backyard and we were doing them actually for this
purpose of kind of showing you the difference of what's going on here so
what I want to show you is that you know I mentioned that this sensor is actually
picking up light that is beyond the visual spectrum and so when you start
getting into infrared territory this means things that emit infrared light
are going to go to a brighter into things so this means like skin tones
anything like foliage grass trees so a lot of those things will start to be
more bright and so this is just straight through the camera now one of the things
you can do if you want to dial that back is you can use an infrared cut filter
and when you apply the infrared cut filter we go from this to this image and
you can see that these skin tones are much more tamed down and really the
trees in the grass and everything in the back kind of went a lot darker but
what's interesting is if you check out the histogram on here everything is
exposed properly but those mid-tones are what shift and it allows you to really
start dialing in a specific look that you might want to get with this camera
and of course once you start applying other filters - we were going for
various yellow filters and you can even go a little bit darker into red or
something like that and it really starts to shape that image and it gives you a
lot of flexibility and this to me is the key with this camera now it does slow
you down to have to dial in with filters and stuff but if you're doing landscapes
particularly or architecture or even portraits I think it really becomes
beneficial to what you're doing because it allows you to really shape that tone
this is very similar to why I got so excited the first time I developed black
and white film and started getting into that and realized that there's different
looks you can get using different film types different developers different
development times and you can really start to dial in different things just
using one kind of film and I think that this is in many ways a digital
equivalent to what you're able to do in a darkroom
so the first shoot that I did with this camera we all actually went to
Weatherford which is just outside of Fort Worth David is doing a project
right now for the gallery where he's doing a series of prints and they're
themed around really old trees that grow in the south so he's gone to
Texas New Orleans and traveling over toward South Carolina and so forth and
so we found a pecan tree that literally is over a thousand years old up until
another discovery recently it was the oldest tree in the United States it's
just on this property anyway that's what these images are and
you can see that this is where a 100 megapixel back really starts to excel is
when you're doing landscapes now I want to show you something I shot this image
wide open at F 2.8 and you go in here and look at the tree in the bark and I
mean the detail on here is just like it's outstanding you can also start to
see when your focus is off and it becomes very frustrating sometimes to
work with a camera like this especially with the really shallow depth of field
but it has have a beautiful look to it the lens that we used on this was the
Schneider 110 I believe 2.8 and it is just absolutely gorgeous but when you
start to stop that down by the way this was shot with no filter at all and it is
unedited this is straight off the camera so there's a lot of room for processing
and if I go down here I'll find another image this was done at f/8 and you can
see that everything gets very sharp and very detailed in focus and it becomes
kind of one of the interesting things on here is in post-processing when you're
looking at essentially an image that has 15 stops of light and what you're able
to do with that in post-production typically right off the camera things
look really flat it's kind of like if you've ever shot video using log
profiles when you're getting that much dynamic range in your image it
almost does require some editing at some point and with a landscape like this I
mean there's a lot of room to go on but you start to get just a lot of
especially when you get all this detail back in the foliage and stuff is really
getting this tree to stand out but it does give you room to go on that and
there's a lot you can do one other thing I want to show you this is a shot that I
set up so using this camera is typically a little bit slow to set up David was back
here he's got a really right stuff panorama shooter he was shooting a
Pentax camera and doing some panoramic stitching with it and so we set this up
so basically we took the filter off at one point and I got him to turn around
and then the amazing part about this that I noticed later in post is I'm
going to zoom in to a full 100% here on your screen and I want you to look at
the glasses around David's neck those are sunglasses you can see right through
them in this exposure it is amazing the other thing worth noting too is the
David shirt is actually black and you'll see that I
have another video that I'll do on this shoot and you can see that in some of
the supplemental footage but it is really amazing the kind of dynamic range
that you get out of this camera just know that there is a lot of
post-production involved but it's also built for that another thing I want to
address is ISO performance because it's pretty much not an issue at all in this
camera so this is a picture that I took of my cat in the window this was about
6:00 in the morning it was extremely overcast there wasn't a lot of light I
also stopped down the camera so I could keep everything in focus this is shot at
12,800 ISO 12800 now if you zoom in and look at the shadows that's typically
where noise starts to hide there isn't any in here I mean that is a clean image
and considering hid and hosts the cameras that I own really 3200 is about
as high as you can push it maybe 64 depending on what it is this is it
12,800 the camera will actually go up to 51,000 which
is amazing he goes to stop higher than this but it just is mind-blowing
the quality that you get even at really high ISO settings like that I'll show
you the same thing on a little bit darker image and again this is shot very
low light so this is f/4 1/100 of a second ISO 12800 and if I zoom all the
way in here you can see that in these shadow areas they're really isn't any noise
and there's a couple reasons why I think that this works on this camera really
well first of all you have a much bigger sensor so it is a medium format sensor
you're also not having to capture red green and blue channels so it's just
capturing light so my guess and I'm not an engineer so somebody may correct me
on this I'm imagining that the algorithm that the camera uses to deal with noise
reduction is probably a lot simpler than it would be on a color camera the other
thing is just physically the way this sensor is designed even with a hundred
and one megapixels it's a huge sensor so you're able to not only have sorry about
the joke deeper pixels you are able to have much bigger pixels and the way they
can be spaced on the sensor so I mean it's just it's insane that I could be
shooting at 12,800 ISO handheld and not have any issue at all another question I
get asked a lot is can you use the Phase One as a street photography camera and
I'm not really sure why you would want to do that because it is massively heavy
but I did try it anyway and it works just fine I mean the autofocus works
great had it set up for back button focus and did
bunch of shooting just around Fort Worth and it came out really cool another
thing I want to show you is this shot I was shooting in manual mode you don't
have to you can use aperture priority or shutter priority but I was shooting
manual in these because I really wanted to get a feel for what the sensor would
be able to do and this one was overexposed obviously I want to show you
what you can recover on this so you can see even in the histogram I have clearly
blown the whites clear over but if I just lower the exposure on this and I'm
not even dealing with just lowering highlights or using a curves channel or
anything you can see that you get a lot of it back so the amount of data that
this sensor is capable of capturing is just incredible - I'm not saying you
would want to go out and not pay attention to your exposure but it is
very forgiving in just this insane way another thing that is very cool is I saw
this guy coming and this is an old dairy factory that we were shooting in front
of so I kind of set up I was ready for it when he came by there was no tripod
involved with this this was all hand held one of the really cool things that
capture one has is this keystoning feature and Lightroom has similar lens
adjustments but this is kind of your instant 8 by 10 and there are basically
three modes that you can choose in here you can do Keystone vertical you can do
a horizontal or you can do a combination thereof and this one is a combination
basically it's hard to see on here but if you look at these little circle
points it's going to give you a square and basically you look for lines to line
that up and you apply it you can see that this was rotated a little bit
and centered in but you have a hundred and one megapixels to deal with on here
so it's it's pretty amazing so you know if you're not using a tripod it can be
forgiving just as much as I think exposure can on the sensor this camera
is really just like it's so amazingly impressive it's unbelievable I wanted
the bulk of this review to be centered around looking at images and seeing what
this camera can do because that is what separates it from anything else on the
market that's available it really is a special image and I wanted to look at a
lot of those to show you what is involved with that now the camera is no
slouch either now most of the image quality we've been talking about here is
the back it's the IQ3 monochrome you could easily swap that out for a color
back if you wanted to those are interchangeable but this is centered
around the XF system and the XF camera is amazing it is probably the most
elegantly designed user interface I have ever used on any camera it's like using
an iPhone not a camera and most of you know that are familiar
with like Sony's menus or even Nikon and Canon they get very complex they get
very deep they're non-intuitive everything on here is just a tap away or
swipe away and the way it works is basically you have your main menu
functions and you tap on any of these to change what that is so this could be you
know your priority mode this could be the metering mode this could be
autofocus and then you can swipe to go through the extra modes which include
things like an HDR mode there's a time-lapse mode you can do focus
stacking there's also a pro photo mode which is very cool because this enables
you to actually radio-control the Profoto system lights from the camera
itself also very cool is there is a seismograph built into the camera now
this is one of the drive modes and what this does is it senses any motions so if
you're shooting landscapes in windy conditions or something that's not
stable it will actually wait until there's no movement in the camera before
it makes the image which is very cool and you also get a digital bubble level
everything is very accessible and extremely well thought-out on the
physical design of the cameras well all the dials the back button focus
everything is easy to access and what I kind of felt like using this cameras
that it's just an extension of you as a photographer and that's what a camera
should be it is a tool to get the job done I never once felt like I was
fighting with the camera to find something or to scroll through a menu to
get to something and a lot of that is just very typical of just beautiful
Scandinavian design we were kind of joking around calling it the IKEA of
cameras because it there really isn't another interface like this out there
now the interface we've been looking at is on the top of the camera and that's
mainly the camera functions itself for the XF series there is a screen on the
back of the IQ3 as well of all the backs do and it controls mainly the
functions related to the sensor so this is going to be everything from image
playback to live view and so on and so forth and just like the touch screen on
the top of the camera there's a touch screen here and it's more responsive and
intuitive than anything I've ever used and it's just like working on an iPhone
the live view is exceptional and I used it quite a bit as a focus aid and what's
really cool is you just basically when you're in Live View you can tap and
scroll in and not only is the quality image good but it maintains an
incredible resolution while you're zooming in and is very useful as a focus
aid the image review layout is extremely useful as well it has everything from
histograms to warning overlays to under and overexposure light level temperature
map even and that enable you to like really be super critical if you're
making images especially in the field now a lot of times a camera like this if
you're using in the studio you may be tethered to a computer so you can
actually see your images and analyze them there but what I really like about
that touchscreen on the back is it does enable you to have a lot of control and
a lot of access to things if you don't have a setup like that and you're
shooting in the field so if you thoughts and observations about Phase One first
of all they are not a consumer camera company and I am not their target
audience and most people watching this are really not either they deal with
cultural institutions like art museums or historical societies that need to get
extremely high resolution images for documentation purposes that's probably
their biggest customer base second to that is probably architecture
photographers and then you have high-end fashion and people who are making enough
money to support it and some fine art photographers now that's why the pricing
is high and that's why what they're doing is very cutting edge we're really
not their target audience having said that though companies like Phase One
represent the cutting edge of imaging technology and so this is typically
stuff that in the next couple of years you'll start to see trickle down on to
the consumer level and I do have to admit part of me wishes that I didn't
have the chance to play with one of these because you immediately start
thinking about how you can possibly finance something to the tune of fifty
sixty five thousand dollars as a camera setup which is completely impractical
but the other cool thing is Digital Transitions the company that were nice
enough to loan this camera to us to look at
they also rent them so if it's something high-end that you need just for a day or
two for a specific shoot that is a possibility
so check out Digital Transitions because renting one of these is really not that
bad of an option and speaking of I want to give a shout-out and thanks to
Digital Transitions again they did not pay me to do this video
they simply loaned me an extremely expensive camera to play with for a few
days because Rod and I asked and that was really nice and gracious of them to
do so for those of you who are sponsors I've got some downloads for you and if
you don't know what I'm talking about it will explain just a second but if you're
sponsoring this channel if you go over to the community tab you will see
downloads to not only a gallery of images that I showed you today you can
download these at full resolution they're JPEGs but I also have put a raw
file available for download please note that Lightroom will not read this file
it's about 131 megabyte file but you'll need a copy of capture one to read it
and they have a 30-day free trial for Capture One so if you need to download
that to try it in fact you should check out Capture One
because it's pretty amazing software if you don't know what I'm talking about
with this whole sponsor business if you look below this video next to the
subscribe button you're going to see another button that says sponsor on it
and this gives people the opportunity to sponsor the channel and you can get some
additional downloads and content when they do them it's really there's no
videos behind a paywall I know there's been some confusion on that it's still
the regular Channel it just enables me to make great content for you guys and
you get access to extra things so when I review cameras and stuff I will let you
download RAW files and such so anyway it's kind of a cool way that you can
help me help you if you know what I mean so I really do think this is one of
those groundbreaking cameras that comes along and completely changes the game
and I would like to get your impressions as well so please leave me a comment
below I've got some more videos coming up we've got photo assignments on Monday
so be ready for that and then I also have some follow-up videos I've got
another one where we're actually taking this camera out in the field and
shooting with it and we're doing some landscape work and things like that so
you can kind of get some more Phase One if you want and then also I have some
stuff coming up on Rod's filter set and so it's going to be a lot of videos this
month and I'm really excited until the next one I will see you guys then
later

Taebaek Boomup concert celebrates countdown to PyeongChang 2018 - Duration: 1:40.
Amping up the festive mood in the nation are various special events held in all corners
of Korea.
The city of Taebaek in Gangwon-do province stood out with its D-minus-100 day concert.
Won Jung-hwan takes us to the celebration held under the theme 'Passion Connected'.
The Taebaek BOOMUP Concert, commemorating the start of the 100-day countdown to the
2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, was held at Taebaek Cultural Square in Gangwon-do Province
on Wednesday.
Under the slogan of 'Passion Connected', the concert was full of rich and joyful art performances.
(KOREAN)
"Although there's a lot of interest in the PyeongChang Winter Games, there's still a
lack interest, somewhat, in parts of the country that aren't hosting them.
The 2018 Winter Olympics are a festival for the whole country, not just PyeongChang, so
Taebaek city is hosting this concert to take part."
The concert began with video messages from President Moon Jae-in, the Minister of Culture,
Sports and Tourism, and other top officials.
Then well-known singers gave uplifting performances to commemorate the start of the countdown
to the Winter Olympics.
Through the voices of the Taebaek city choir and the audience, the 'Song of peace' and
"Gangwon-do Arirang" echoed throughout Taebaek.
(KOREAN)
"I learned about this awesome concert from the promotional banners on the roadside.
I'm really excited and interested in the Pyeongchang Olympics because of these cultural events."
(STANDUP)
"Around 130 local cultural events like this are being held throughout the nation as the
Winter Olympic torch continues its 100 day journey to the main stadium at PyeongChang.

It is my style to go all out.
……
These are my proper manners.
I just want to give you a good lesson.
Firstly you must acquire drift skills.
In the beginning of a corner turn yourself in the direction
of the corner.
Then press the OK key
to drift.
The letters above show that the drift
is successful.
It's making me yawn!!
That's it!!

What happened......?
Is the engine broken?
You should understand one thing......
That car is done.
......
The engine is completely dead.
Take advantage of this and give up the Eight-Six.
Did you hear a bang?

Should You Eat Every Day? - Duration: 4:57.

"Losing weight but can't keep it off?"
"Struggling to shed those extra pounds no matter what you eat?"
"Introducing the most scientifically advanced way to burn body fat like those super-smart
Silicon Valley duuudes!"
"Try intermittent fasting technology!"
"Nope, don't touch that!
Nope, none of that either.
You get to eat on Tuesday!"
"That's right, our product is the sure-fire way to just not eat for a little while."
"Unlocking your body's ancient evolution to burn extra pounds like your hunter-gatherer
ancestors did."
"For just $599 per year, you can unlock your patented genetic programming by that's right,
just being hungry."
"Get ready to burn!"
[MUSIC]
Dieting almost never works.
Research tells us eating less and exercising more can help you lose weight at first, but
those pounds rarely stay off.
Now some experts think we should focus less on what we eat and more on how often.
Intermittent fasting has become one of the hottest dieting fads out there.
Some health gurus suggest skipping breakfast every day, while others recommend eating only
five days a week, limiting yourself to less than 500 calories on the other two.
36 hours might seem like a long time between eating, but In the wild, fasting might actually
be more normal than regular meals.
Many predators only eat every few days, and penguins sometimes don't eat for as much
as six months each year!
But are the risks of depriving yourself of food worth the health benefits?
What say you, Magic 8-Ball of Science?
In one experiment two sets of mice were given the same high fat diet, but one group was
only allowed to eat for eight hours every day.
After 100 days, the mice that fasted weighed less and were in better shape, even though
both groups got the same diet!
So what makes skipping meals potentially so healthy?
When you eat, energy is stored as glycogen, mostly in your liver.
Your liver is kinda like the fridge in your kitchen.
Energy is easily added, and, via your daily metabolism, removed.
We convert excess energy to body fat for long term storage – like the freezer in your
basement.
But a chemical called insulin regulates access to that long term energy storage.
When we eat, insulin rises, and our cells consume less fat.
When we don't eat, insulin's low, and we can burn those extra pounds.
Not all body fat is bad, but too much is unhealthy.
Why would our bodies have a chemical to stop us from burning it??
The reason is we evolved through periods of scarcity.
Early hunter-gatherers probably ate whenever food was available.
Fasting is an ancient part of who we are.
These days we're surrounded by Big Gulps, Bigger Gulps, and Gulps the literally the
size of a human child.
More calories than we know what to do with.
Our bodies are wired to store excess energy for a rainy day, but since we keep eating,
that rainy day never comes.
But fasting creates artificial scarcity.
Periods without food lower our insulin, leading to more fat burning, and maybe healthier bodies.
The science is young, but intermittent fasting, might reduce triggers that lead to heart disease,
diabetes even cancer.
Short fasts also seem to benefit our brains.
You may think that hunger makes you delirious and stupid or not yourself but fasting can
feed our neurons because fat-burning creates chemicals called ketones, which the brain
can gobble up.
During periods of regular, intermittent fasting, scientists have even seen growth in brain
regions involved in memory.
Imagine your ancestors in an ancient jungle.
It makes evolutionary sense that when we really need to find food, the human brain would be
creative and alert.!
There's plenty of fine print., There have been no long term studies that might reveal
unknown negative impacts from fasting.
It's unknown how fasting compares with vegan, paleo, raw, keto, or cheeto diets.
Scientists don't know if fasting could trigger eating disorders.
And you shouldn't do it if you're a child, underweight, pregnant, nursing, elderly, or
recently deceased.
But for now, we can say fasting probably has benefits – but it hasn't been proven to
be any healthier than other diets.
It just seems to work in a special way: by calling on our bodies' evolutionary energy
programs.
Maybe the moral of the story is that what we consider when we say "everything in moderation"
really isn't moderate when we look at how our bodies evolved!
It's not that food is bad for you.
It's that not eating, sometimes, might be just as healthy.
It's some food for thought.
Stay curious.
Hungry for more?
Here's some fascinating fast fasting facts for you to feast on.
Before the Industrial Revolution, families might have enjoyed just one large midday meal
every day.
Most major religions have incorporated fasts into rituals.
Even the word we use for our morning meal refers to the end of a nightly fast.
Whew.
That was fast.

Koshin Palley Ellison and Robert Chodo Campbell on Working with Death - Duration: 3:50.
There was such a difference between being compassionate and meditating on
death, and actually being with people who are sick, frail, and dying.
I'm Koshin Paley Ellison, the co-founder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care
--I'm Robert Chodo Campbell, the co-founder of the New York Zen Center for Contemplative Care
--I grew up in the midst of the AIDS pandemic at the
beginning of it and when I was a high school student we used to go to the
hospital regularly when our friends Michael and Jerry were dying and
spending time with them in the hospital and so the reality of people that you
love dying at an early age was very real. --Before volunteering in hospice
I volunteered at St. Roosevelt on the HIV Pediatrics unit. That was a
really heartbreaking period to be working with children who were affected by HIV
and I has also worked the hotline for the GMHC, the suicide hotline, answering
calls for young kids at that time who had just become infected and were
looking for community, asking questions and really really worried about 'what's
gonna happen to me?' All these past experiences kind of gelled into that
first day of volunteering; oh now it makes sense, now I know why I'm
doing this. It wasn't so much a calling it's kind of a pushing from behind
come on Chodo, you need to be doing something here. --I thought I was so well
prepared on the cushion- when we went into training and I realized that 'whoa I
have a lot of things to learn and actually most of the things that I
thought I knew were not helpful at all' especially my ideas of compassion.
I realized that the story of Shakyamuni Buddha is so important and I realized
that I'd completely misunderstood an aspect of it, that he actually
encountered a sick person, he actually encountered a very old person, and he
actually was with a dead body. --Every bone, every muscle every tissue in the body,
from my own experience was like, (gasping) seeing someone you know hooked up to all those
machines and tubes in the ICU, in the intensive care unit. It's very loud in a hospital
setting it could be...there could be a cacophony going on outside the door and
when you want the most peace and quiet around the bedside of someone who's
dying it's not happening. --Working with dying people you never hear someone
saying 'oh I'm so glad that I was so busy my whole life'
you never hear someone say 'I'm so glad I was so distracted my whole life' and what
you hear so often is 'I can't believe I didn't really nourish my relationships'
and so to me the practice of meditation helps us really hopefully wake up to,
like, this is it! And which means oh, this is it...
this is it.

Stronghold Tournament (In a Castle!) - Duration: 5:45.
Hi it's the morning of the big event, I just got up,
out there you can see the castle that I'll be going to in a moment and before I go there
I wanted to take a warm shower but the pipes in the hotel broke so now I'm gonna have to
get the real medical experience of showering cold before climbing up to the castle.
I'm on my way now to castle Trifels and the reason we're doing the party on this castle specifically
is that after the third Crusades, Richard the Lionheart was held captive on this castle.
He was kept there from anything between four weeks and a couple months - historians aren't quite sure -
but he was a prisoner until he paid 23.4 tons of silver for his release.
And I'm now gonna go up and I'm gonna meet the people from Burgenfuchs and GDKE,
the two organizations that helped put this event together and let's see what awaits me.
I'm almost at the castle Trifels, this is as far as we can go by car.
Behind me, you can see the castle. It's still one hundred meters up on the hill.
That's where I'm gonna walk to now. Wish me good luck, I hope I can survive the way up.
Castle Trifels, war dog free zone.
Okay, I made it up the hill, it was a long journey, but I survived.
I don't even want to imagine what was like in medieval times,
but behind me you can already see the castle walls of castle Trifels.
I'm finally here, so let's go inside and see what it's like.
I'm on top of castle Trifels, as you can see it's a wonderful view from here.
You can see all the invading forces from miles away and archers up here definitely had the better position.
Behind me here are the German crown jewels. These are the reason that this castle exists.
This castle was built in order to defend these crown jewels because whoever had these was in control of the country.
And they built this castle and three others or four others around in the circle
so that they could see any invading forces and no army ever reached this place.
Behind me downstairs are 18 teams of players
competing against each other in Stronghold HD and Stronghold Crusader 2. Let's see who the winner will be.
Aaaaaand ... the winners of the Herr der Klinge Tournament are ...
the team with a score of 89739 points. Please help me welcome - with a drumroll ...
Team 16!
But what did Team 16 actually win?
That's the big question: What's the main prize?
For one, Team 16 will receive
A voucher for a trip including return flights & accommodation for one night to visit Firefly Studios in London.
Well, I didn't expect a prize this great, I'm already looking forward to it.
It's surely going to be fun and interesting.
The event was generally fun.
Yeah, I'm also happy that we won. The prize, obviously, is really nice.
Stronghold 1 was one of the first ever strategy games I played.
We used to play it together at his place with two laptops.
That we now - 10 years, or however many years later - win a prize in this game is obviously great.
And then on a castle, especially with Richard the Lionheart, who is part of Stronghold Crusader,
that was nice, it really was a nice event.
- And I'm sure we would do this again. - Definitely.

Coastal Now - Campus and Community Research Collaborative - Duration: 4:14.
We have benefited greatly from the Campus and Community Research Collaborative
at Coastal Carolina University. We have benefited by
getting to know professors, by being a part of their curriculum that they
develop for their students and by benefiting from the expertise that both
the professors and the students have brought to our programming.
I think, you know, looking back at the beginnings, Amy, you had come to me to talk about wanting to
figure out a way to connect community organizations with faculty that might have
research expertise in the area. I think that's a common issue that comes up.
The faculty get very insular in their own particular area, not realizing that
sometimes the things that they do are very useful within the community.
When I came here about four or five years ago
I did not know many people, many people at all. So I decided to go to the Research Collaborative
and right away I met people from Tidelands Health in
Georgetown and in Murrells Inlet. I met people from DHEC. I met people from all
these organizations that were-- that were wanting to do work with us with the
professors and the students. We did a great research project in Georgetown
I had students help me. I had staff help me. I just keep meeting more and more people
the list goes on and on. It all started with a few small conversations
at the Research Collaborative.
Through the Collaborative, I also had an opportunity to meet with other researchers at the University
who are doing work on age that I didn't know about and they didn't know what I was doing and those kinds of
connections have been exciting also and it's been really exciting to
find ways to build on that both through research and then in the classroom and
now also really in the community and with the state.
The people who come to the luncheon are the people who are interested in collaborating.
They are interested in furthering their mission and working with other people to see a
better way to do what they're doing.
I think the biggest thing for me is networking
with the other agencies and sharing with them what we do and
learning about what they do.
Everybody who is there is excited. They're excited about becoming engaged
and they're excited about finding a way to move forward and doing something new.
One of my favorite parts about attending the event
is engaging with the faculty from CCU. I love hearing about the updates
that are going on in their classrooms, different research that is happening in
the community and then sharing with them what I do here at New Directions and
possibly how we can team together and collaborate in giving students
opportunities, giving professors opportunities to come in to our shelters
and learn about what we do and also I enjoy going out to their classrooms to
share with the students what we do here at New Directions.
It is a complete and total win-win for everybody. In that the community organizations that may be
strapped for cash, may not have resources, may not have personnel. By connecting
with the University they're able to tap in to enthusiastic faculty
enthusiastic students who are able to provide opportunities and outreach opportunities
for the organizations that may not have within their particular service communities.
From the faculty and student perspective, it also increases the
opportunity for them and it gives them the opportunity to explore things
that they may never have thought about. Which then improves their
scholarship, their role as faculty but also improves the ability of students to
be exposed to the outside world and how the things that they are learning in the
classroom may have impact and relevance to things that are outside of the University
which may give them ideas for job opportunities, career opportunities
well after they leave Coastal.

UNPRECEDENTED: 3 U.S SUPERCARRIERS CONVERGE TO KOREAN WATERS - Duration: 10:49.
The USS Nimitz, USS Ronald Reagan, and USS Theodore Roosevelt carrier strike groups are
in the 7th fleet's area of operations AOO, which ranges from the international date line
to the western Indian Ocean—a large swathe of the earth's oceans. This kind of convergence
of three super carriers is unprecedented.
Observers suggested that the rare convergence of three carrier strike groups in the region
would send a strong message to North Korea, which has launched twenty ballistic missiles
to date in 2017 and tested one presumably thermonuclear device. The convergence also
comes just days before U.S. President Donald Trump will depart to East and Southeast Asia
on his first trip to the region.It will also serve to reassure allies.
It must be noted that each of these ships lead their own Carrier Strike Group.
Each of the 3-strike group has at least one cruiser, a destroyer squadron of at least
two destroyers and or frigates, as well as nuclear powered submarine. Apart from that,
multiple Logistic ships and AWACS support them.
In this video, Defense Updates looks at the 3 most important components of the strike
group, namely the Carrier itself, the Destroyers, & the Submarines one by one, and analyzes
how powerful the combined force of 3 carriers strike group is?
All the 3 ships are of NIMITZ class.
The Nimitz-class supercarriers are a class of 10 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers in
service with the United States Navy. The lead ship of the class is named for World War II
United States Pacific Fleet commander Fleet Admiral Chester W. Nimitz.
Nimitz-class aircraft carriers were designed to be improvements on previous U.S. aircraft
carriers, in particular the Enterprise and Forrestal-class.
Nimitz CVN-68 was commissioned on 3 May 1975, Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) on12 July 2003 & USS
Theodore Roosevelt (CVN-71) on 25 October 1986
Nimitz-class ships each cost around $4.5 billion and have been the symbol of U.S power. They
have been used to project power far off from US mainland.
All 10 Nimitz-class aircraft carriers were constructed between 1968 and 2006 at Newport
News Shipbuilding Company, Virginia, in the largest dry-dock in the western hemisphere.
These are some of the largest vessels constructed. All the 3 ships have a displacement of around
100000 tons, and overall length of 332.8 m (1,092 feet). To give viewers a perspective,
it is about 3 football fields long.
Each of this ship is powered by two A4W nuclear reactors, kept in separate compartments.
These power 4 propeller shafts and can produce a maximum speed of over 30 knots or 56 km/h.
As a result of the use of nuclear power, the ships are capable of operating continuously
for over 20 years without refueling, and are predicted to have a service life of over 50
years. Practically they have unlimited range.
All of these 3 super carriers have a flight group of more than 60 aircraft, including
F-18 jet fighters. These are twin-engine, supersonic, all-weather
carrier-capable 4th generation multirole fighter aircrafts.
They have a payload of 7700 kg (17000 lbs), and can carry ground attack weapons as well
as air-to-air missiles.
Nimitz class possesses multitude of different radars including electronically scanned array
3D radars. It is equipped with 16 to 24 RIM-7 Sea Sparrow
or NATO Sea Sparrow missiles. RIM-7 Sea Sparrow is a US ship-borne short-range anti-aircraft
and anti-missile weapon system, primarily intended for defense against anti-ship missiles.
Close in weapon (CIWS) duties are performed by Phalanx, & RIM-116 Rolling Airframe missile.
The Destroyer component of the Carrier Strike Group generally contains 1 or 2 Arleigh Burke-class
guided missile destroyers. The class is named for ADMIRAL ARLEIGH BURKE,
the most famous American destroyer officer of World War II, and later Chief of Naval
Operations. US Navy has 66 of these, each costing around
$1.843 billion.
Arleigh Burke-class warships are designed as multi mission destroyers capable of Anti
Aircraft Warfare (AAW), Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW), Ballistic Missile Defense (BMD) and
Anti Surface warfare (ASuW). These can operate in open sea or coastal waters.
Arleigh Burke class destroyers are among the largest destroyers in the world.
They have an overall length of about 505 to 509 feet (154 to 155 m) and displacement of
about 9,200 tons.
They have a speed of 30+ knots (55+ km/h) and range of 4,400 nmi (8,100 km).
The Arleigh Burke class of guided missile destroyers (DDGs) is the United States Navy's
first class of destroyer built around the Aegis Combat System.
The Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense System is a US Department of Defense Missile Defense
Agency program developed to provide defense against short to intermediate-range ballistic
missiles. Aegis BMD is designed to intercept ballistic missiles post-boost phase and prior
to reentry.
It enables Arleigh Burke destroyers to shoot down enemy ballistic missiles by expanding
the Aegis Combat System with the addition of the AN/SPY-1 radar and Standard missile
technologies. SM-3 missile having range of 2,500 km & speed of Mach 10.2 is expected
to be particularly effective.
Arleigh Burke class destroyers are one of the most heavily armed destroyers in the world
and are designed to be a multi weapons platform:
They have 96 cell Mk 41 VLS, which can be configured with the combination of different
weapons, based on mission. Here are some important once.
1.Tomahawk cruise missile for Land attack 2.RIM-66M Standard medium range SAM for air
defense 3.RIM-161 Standard Ballistic missile for AEGIS
ballistic missile defense
It also has 2 × Mk 141 Harpoon Missile Launcher for Anti Ship role.
2 × Mark 32 triple torpedo tubes are present for launching Mk-46 or Mk-50 torpedoes
2 MH-60R Seahawk LAMPS III helicopters are also present for Anti Submarine Warfare.
Other than these, they are equipped with long-range naval gun and multiple Close In Weapon System.
The VIRGINIA CLASS, also known as the SSN-774 class, is a class of nuclear-powered fast
attack submarines (hull classification symbol SSN) in service with the United States Navy.
The submarines are designed for a broad spectrum of open-ocean and littoral (shallow coastal
water) missions. US Navy has 13 of these and also building
another 6. The of these cost around $1.8 billions.
These have length of 377 ft (115 m) and displacement of around 7,900 metric tons
Being nuclear powered, these can stay underneath the ocean surface for an unlimited amount
of time, constrained by only food supply and maintenance requirements.
Powered by 30 MW, S9G reactor, these submarines can reach speed of 25 knots and can move down
to depths of 800 ft (240 m).
Virginia class is designed to take out enemy surface vessel, submarines as well can strike
ground targets
12 VLS & four torpedo tubes, capable of launching Mark 48 torpedoes, UGM-109 Tactical Tomahawks,
Harpoon missile.
Mark 48 torpedoes have effective firing range of 38 km, and have a 650 lb warhead. A single
hit fro this torpedo can be deadly for any ship or submarine.
The Tomahawk is a long-range, all-weather, subsonic missile that is used for land-based
attacks. At 5.56 m long without a booster, traveling
at 880 km per hour, it is capable of delivering more than 450 kilograms of conventional explosives.
Harpoon missile having speed of 537 miles per hours, and range of around 120 km plays
the role of anti ship missile.
The combined force of 3-carrier strike group will have around 200 F 18 Super Hornet strike
aircrafts. The MiG-29 is the K P A F's most modern fighter and North Korea operates approximately
40 of these. F 18 strike aircrafts equipped with modern
air-to-air missile and coupled with US fighter pilot's better training and strategy will
be able to take out the North Korean air force in few hours.
North Korea has no Destroyers and has very few Frigates and Corvettes. The vessels are
no match for the Arleigh Burke-class destroyers.
The North Korean military is in possession of a fleet of about 70 submarines, comprised
of approximately 20 Romeo class submarines (1,800 tons), 40 Sang-O class submarines (300
tons) and 10 Yono class submarines (130 tons).
These submarines being small and fairly silent have the potential to sneak in close to US
Carrier Strike Group. But given the Carrier Strike Group will have cover from P-8 Poseidon
Anti Submarine aircraft, apart from its own submarine and Anti submarine warfare capable
Arleigh Burke-class, chances of North Korean vessels causing major damage is unlikely.
In simple terms, the 3 carrier strike group has more than enough capability to decimate
the North Korean military in few days.

How to Make The Best Scalloped Potatoes | The Stay At Home Chef - Duration: 3:36.
Today on The Stay At Home Chef I'm showing you how to make
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes.
I love scalloped potatoes!
They are total comfort food.
Add on a little extra cheese and you have
an indulgent dish that's perfect for those
long winter months and all of those holidays in between
where you need delicious tasty side dishes.
We're going to start by peeling our Russet potatoes.
Now I want to show you a little trick that I use.
Now it's really simple. I lay down a paper towel
so that as I am peeling my potatoes
all of the peels end up on the paper towel
so that when we're done clean up is a total breeze.
It's simple, but it's effective and it makes life just a little bit easier.
Next we need to slice all of our potatoes nice and thin.
The easiest way to do this is with a food processor.
You can also use a mandoline,
or slice it by hand with a knife.
That's probably the hardest way to do it, but it can be done.
I run mine through the food processor because it is so fast.
I honestly don't know how I lived before a food processor.
We're going to take all of these sliced potatoes,
and you can see that they are nice and thin,
And we're going to pour them all into a large mixing bowl.
Make sure you get them all out.
Then pour on 1 cup of heavy cream
And then we'll add some cheesy goodness with
½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese.
And you want to make sure you are using freshly grated,
not that stuff from the plastic can.
Then we're going to season things up with
2 cloves of minced garlic,
½ teaspoon salt,
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg,
Adn ¼ teaspoon of black pepper,
And I just use tongs to toss this all together.
You want to give this a good toss until you feel like
all of the spices and garlic and everything are evenly dispersed.
Then, we're going to pour all of this into a lightly greased 9x9 baking dish.
Now if you want to be all fancy,
you can place each slice individually
and create nice little rows and nice little layers and be all fancy
But I'm all about keeping life simple
because this is comfort food for me.
So I'm just dumping it in the pan.
Then I'm going to take some sharp cheddar cheese
and sprinkle it on top to add in
some extra cheesy goodness that I promised.
And that's it.
I bet you never knew that scalloped potatoes
could be so easy to put together.
Next we're going to bake this in a 350 degree oven
for about 1 hour
Or until your potatoes are tender
which will depend on how thin you were
able to cut them so a
djust the cooking time accordingly.
If you're worried about the cheese browning
too much on top because your oven is a "browner"
simply place a piece of aluminum foil loosely over the top.
This will stop the cheese from browning anymore
and you can finish baking your potatoes until they are tender.
And then you're ready to eat.
Thanks for watching!
