Youtube daily report Dec 1 2017

You know, for creative people the seasons of ideas, having ideas, not having ideas,

being busy being creative, and not being busy being creative at all, come and go.

Recently I've had a ton of ideas and have purchased a whole bunch of supplies

so today I'm going to show you some of those things I've found and let you know

how I think I'm going to use them. Hi there, Sandy here, welcome to another

Friday findings video at keepsakecrafts.net. So yeah, you know the

creative seasons really do wax and wane. They're just... sometimes you have all

kinds of ideas and sometimes you don't. I was recently watching a video on,

it was the 2017 polymer clay adventure and I was watching Barbara McGuire's class

and her project isn't one I'm necessarily going to make but I got a

lot of great ideas, and I was really impressed with the texture sheets that

she showed. So kudos to you, Barbara. Sold! Because I went on to her Etsy shop and

bought these texture sheets. This is her business card, a really cool polymer clay

piece she's got here, but I bought these three texture sheets. First I picked out

this one with the wings which I thought was a lot of fun. I'm actually working on

a little fairy and I need little fairy wings. I thought these were fun even if

you don't use them exactly as they are it's nice to have something to start .and

she's got left's and rights. Let's see one two three four five six different

styles here so that will be useful, and they also make a nice texture, there and

then I pulled out this one which I thought was just a fantastic all-over

interesting background this one is called Klimt's Carpet as in the artist

Klimt, maybe that's why I like it cuz I actually do like his work and I'm not

into a lot of abstract but I just thought this would be fantastic for

choosing different areas that have different looks for texturing the backs

of things or whatever, and then I also got this one it's called organic Serenade,

and the same as this one you can pick and choose bits and pieces of it. They're

nice deeply etched it's nice that they're unmounted for polymer clay work

because then you can run them through a pasta machine with the clay right on it,

and then she even threw in this one. I have no idea how I'll use it... actually

I've just got a couple ideas while I was holding it! So this was a nice little

bonus. I also got some more easy mold because I love using this stuff. I try

not to be wasteful with it but I do go through it. and this is a rather

interesting purchase. This is the Cover Wonder knitter. I got the idea to get

this because I saw in one of those magazines that I showed you that I got

from the bead show there was a necklace where they had used ribbon and this tool

and knitted the cording and then they wove strands of beads in and out of it

and I thought it was really beautiful so I thought that would be fun to use wire

like they show here, use silk cord which I have plenty of ,so I'm going to have

fun playing with this and then I'll at some point make a video and show you

what I found out. I have been meaning for ages to make some more videos for you

guys using resin. Resin is fun to play with, it has a beautiful look when you're

done because it's clear and my Nature's Treasures resin pendants is still one of

my top videos ever so you guys apparently like that kind of thing. So I

ordered these molds because the molds that I used in that video were just a

little frosty on the underside and they weren't shiny and clear and they came

out sort of matte looking and I definitely want that shiny finish so that you can

see things. Again, I have a ton of ideas of how to use these. I'm not sure if I'm

happy that they've got the little post here that will make the hole because it

limits your choices - this is where the hole is going to go - unless you cover it

up and drill one elsewhere, but this was a nice set. I think all three pieces for

ten dollars and so it's worth playing with. This one's pretty cool, I didn't

really buy it for this but it makes these little tiny

gemstones. I don't know if you can see there are all these little faceted,

even these, these are tiny little pieces that you can make with resin, with liquid

clay. So again some fun things to play with, and by the way if you're interested

I will have links to everything I can find links to at my blog post. Just click

on the upper right, the lower left at the end, or in the description box, any of

those three places you will find a link to the blog post where I have more

information, things I thought of after making the video, which happens a lot,

supply lists and product links. Now these... I was standing in line, boy it was like

the week of Thanksgiving, and it was a long line at Michaels, and I saw these

and thought they were just really fun they were only a dollar fifty each.

And they're plunge cutters for snowflakes. I've actually played with one of them a

little bit and I've got some fun ideas for Christmas and winter projects with

these and I actually did find these on Amazon, a set of four so if you

purchase that set you'll actually have one more than I do. And these pro polish

pads you can see I used this to polish my brass candlesticks for Thanksgiving

dinner. Actually they wrok great for

polishing anything. I had bought I think it was called a sunshine cloth a while

back and I was I was not happy with it. It just did not do what I wanted it to

do. These are fantastic for polishing up your jewelry if you add a patina with

liver of sulfur these do a great job of bringing the high points back up. So

far I haven't yet found anything that I like better than these for polishing

jewelry, silver and copper specifically, Oh, and these are even more silicone

molds. If you're on Pinterest you've probably noticed there's so many

pendants out there that are this shape, like a long like a crystal point shape,

and so this seemed like it would be a lot of fun to pour resin,

you can also do partial molding with polymer clay. Have you seen those pieces

that are part wood and part resin? You could probably do that in a faux manner

with polymer clay. So I thought I wanted to play with these. I don't know if I'll

use the little hooks that they sent but that was nice. that all came. And then

these I didn't realize what they were when I looked at them on the Amazon listing but they

basically make three-dimensional funky crystal shapes just by pouring resin in.

If this handle has a particular purpose somebody let me know because it seems

like it's just a way to hold it still. I'm not sure. So these will be fun to

play with along with the other silicone molds. Seems like I need to whip me up a

batch of resin and see what they do. Last but definitely not least, I did place an

order with Dollar bead box. I get their monthly subscription box and there were

a few beads that I wanted to reorder. The way the subscription box works is you

play it, is you pay a flat rate I think about $20 a month and you get a box full

of at least $60 worth of beads and jewelry making findings and then if you

like things you can order them again within,I think you have about five or

six weeks from the time you receive your box to place an order and you can order

any of the things for a dollar each. So if you watch my videos regularly you've

probably heard me say a couple times I need to reorder these. These are the

opaque medium purple three millimeter Czech fire polish beads. I just love this

deep purple color. I found so many uses for it. These pretty metallic pink

daggers caught my bead, caught my eye. I just love kinds of different unusual

shapes, and these chartreuse green, I find so many different uses for them. I think

they had a sale recently. jIf you're part of the dollar bead

Club keep an eye out because they'll regularly have specials. I think if you

ordered so much you got free shipping or something and I managed to order so much.

These are some Swarovski crystals what color is that? Hyacinth, it's a bright

pink maybe didn't look quite so bright on the computer screen but they're pretty, and

cubes, always a fan of cubes, especially Swarovski cubes, and those

are blue zircon. I'll have links to these on my blog posts, too. Electroplated

Crystal point, if you're looking for this one, sorry!

I bought the last one. I was trying to buy two and it wouldn't let me. but it

let me buy one. I've got plans for these, thinking about dragons. I may be having a

reason, I can't tell you about it quite yet, but I may be revisiting a lot of the

dragons I made in 2015 and I love having them hold things like this, be part of

the environment. So these are just different electroplated crystal points.

And I thought this was cute. Sometimes I make beaded bracelets and they call for

a button closure and I thought that was just a really cute button. And just a

few metal pieces: a pretty little dragonfly, these came in a recent dollar

bead box, the cherry blossom, and I looked at them and said you know I could

do more with those if I had more than just one, so I ordered a few more, and

this is an old piece but I've got ideas for things we can do with this although

I may first make a mold with my silicone molding putty because this is a

fantastic texture to use on all sorts of things. This is what I've got

in recent weeks in jewelry making and crafting supplies. Got lots of ideas

coming up, and by the way I want to give a big shout out to those of you who are

my patrons because my patrons help support me. I'm able to get things like

this, definitely more than I would be without the patronage, so that I can try

out things, get new ideas, explore new ideas and share

them with you, so thank you so much to all of you who are my patrons. And if you

don't know what that means there's a link in the description box that will

bring you to my Patreon page that will tell you all about it and you also

can get bonus tutorials every month for being a patron. So thanks so much for

watching. Happy creating, bye bye.

How To Defend Your Thesis? My Top 10 Tips - Duration: 16:16.

I RECENTLY DEFENDED MY DOCTORAL THESIS.

IN PREPARING FOR MY OWN THESIS DEFENSE, I WATCHED MANY PHD DEFENSES ON YOUTUBE, I WATCHED

A NUMBER OF INSTRUCTIONAL VIDEOS ON HOW TO PREPARE FOR A THESIS DEFENSE, I DID MOCK DEFENSES

WITH MY COLLEAGUES AND ADVISORS.

NOW THAT I AM DONE WITH THE WHOLE THING, LET ME PUT TOGETHER MY TOP 10 LIST OF USEFUL TIPS

TO HELP YOU PREPARE YOUR OWN THESIS DEFENSE.

NUMBER 10: THIS IS A VERY OBVIOUS ONE -- READ YOUR OWN THESIS.

MOST LIKELY YOUR DOCTORAL THESIS IS COMPOSED OF MULTIPLE EMPIRICAL CHAPTERS REPRESENTING

A SERIES OF STUDIES THAT YOU HAVE DONE THROUGH THE YEARS.

IT IS ALSO VERY LIKELY, AS A RESULT OF THE SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESSES, A SPECIFIC

EMPIRICAL CHAPTER IS NO LONGER THE MOST UP TO DATE VERSION OF THAT STUDY.

BETWEEN THE TIME OF WHEN THE THESIS WAS SUBMITTED AND PRINTED TO THE TIME OF THE ACTUAL DEFENSE,

A FEW CHAPTERS MAY HAVE GONE THROUGH THE REVISION PROCESS FOR VARIOUS JOURNALS, SO WE REALLY

NEED TO REFRESH OUR MEMORY RIGHT BEFORE THE DEFENSE WHICH VERSION OF THOSE EMPIRICAL STUDIES

ARE ACTUALLY IN THE THESIS.

SO, GIVE YOUR THESIS A QUICK READ A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE DEFENSE.

NUMBER 9: MAKE USE OF REVIEWER AND EDITOR COMMENTS.

THE EMPIRICAL CHAPTERS OF YOUR THESIS HAVE PROBABLY BEEN SUBMITTED TO ACADEMIC JOURNALS

FOR REVIEW AND PUBLICATION.

AS PART OF THAT PROCESS, YOU MUST HAVE BEEN CONFRONTED WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF REVIEWER

AND EDITOR COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS.

MAKE USE OF THEM.

THOSE JOURNAL REVIEWERS ARE USUALLY EXPERTS ON THE SUBJECT AND THEY READ YOUR MANUSCRIPTS

VERY CAREFULLY.

SO, THEIR QUESTIONS AND REMARKS ARE USUALLY VERY GOOD ONES.

USE THOSE QUESTIONS IN THE PREPARATION FOR THE DEFENSE.

PRETEND THAT THEIR QUESTIONS ARE THE ONES WE NEED TO RESPOND TO.

I FOUND THIS TO BE HELPFUL.

NUMBER 8: RESEARCH YOUR COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WHO WILL FUNCTION AS OUR OPPONENTS DURING THE DEFENSE ARE LIKELY

TO ASK QUESTIONS THAT ARE SOMEHOW RELATED TO THEIR OWN EXPERTISE.

IT IS VERY POSSIBLE THAT THEY WILL LOOK AT YOUR THESIS FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THEIR

OWN TOPICS.

SO, LOOK THEM UP, READ A FEW OF THEIR PUBLICATIONS, LOOK FOR PRESENTATIONS OR SPEECHES THEY GAVE,

GET AN IDEA OF WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE THEY ARE, SO THAT WE WON'T BE SURPRISED.

NUMBER 7: KNOW THE RULES AND REGULATIONS AND NORMS OF YOUR FACULTY.

OBVIOUSLY, DIFFERENT UNIVERSITIES AND FACULTIES WILL ORGANIZE THEIR THESIS DEFENSES DIFFERENTLY.

FOR INSTANCE, ARE YOU ALLOWED TO CONTACT THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS BEFOREHAND AND TALK ABOUT

YOUR RESEARCH?

CAN THEY GIVE YOU AN INDICATION OF THE TYPE OF QUESTIONS THAT THEY PLAN TO ASK?

HOW ABOUT DRESS CODE?

WHAT'S TYPICALLY DONE WITH THE RECEPTION?

IS THERE A DEFENSE PROTOCOL?

LOOK INTO THESE THINGS, SO THAT WE CAN BE SURE THAT WE ARE NOT BREAKING ANY RULES WHILE

TAKING FULL ADVANTAGE OF WHAT THE RULES AND REGULATIONS ALLOW FOR.

NUMBER 6: DO A FEW MOCK DEFENSES.

THIS IS ALSO AN OBVIOUS ONE.

TAKE THE TIME TO ORGANIZE A FEW DRESS REHEARSALS WITH COLLEAGUES AND FELLOW RESEARCHERS, FOLLOWING

THE FORMAT OF A REAL DEFENSE AS CLOSELY AS POSSIBLE.

LOOK, WE CHAT WITH COLLEAGUES ABOUT OUR RESEARCH ALL THE TIME, WE GO TO CONFERENCES AND PRESENT

OUR RESEARCH AND ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE, BUT THEY ARE ALL DIFFERENT FROM

THE SETTING AND THE ATMOSPHERE OF AN ACTUAL DEFENSE.

SO, DO A COUPLE OF MOCK DEFENSES, COULD BE VERY USEFUL.

NUMBER 5: BRING THE RIGHT ATTITUDE AND EMOTION.

I KNOW THIS SOUNDS VAGUE.

THE POINT IS -- DON'T FALL INTO THE WRONG STATE OF MIND DURING THE DEFENSE.

WE WANT TO STAY SERIOUS, BUT NOT TOO SERIOUS.

WE WANT TO PUSH BACK A LITTLE ON OUR OPPONENT'S CRITICAL REMARKS BUT WE DO NOT WANT TO GET

TOO COMBATIVE OR TOO DEFENSIVE.

WE WANT TO STAY PLEASANT AND MAYBE THROW IN A COUPLE OF HUMOROUS REMARKS HERE AND THERE,

BUT WE DO NOT WANT TO MAKE TOO MANY JOKES.

SO, REMEMBER TO SMILE, BE PLEASANT, BE HOSPITABLE.

PERSONALLY, I THINK THE WORST MISTAKE ONE CAN MAKE, OR THE BIGGEST AND MOST UNFORTUNATE

DOWNFALL DURING A DOCTORAL THESIS DEFENSE, IS TO SOMEHOW FALL VICTIM OF ANGER OR A SENSE

OF DEFEAT OR DESPAIR OR EXHIBITING WRONG EMOTIONS.

THAT'S GONNA RUIN IT.

SO, BE AWARE OF OUR STATE OF MIND.

BE CALM, BE PLEASANT, AND BE IN CONTROL OF OUR OWN EMOTIONS.

NUMBER 4: DON'T BE TOO NERVOUS.

BUT HOW?

IN MY EXPERIENCE, A FEW THINGS HELP -- YOU WANT TO WEAR SOMETHING IN WHICH YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE;

IN WHICH YOU FEEL LIKE YOURSELF.

I KNOW SOME PEOPLE WOULD BUY A NEW SUIT TO WEAR AT THE DEFENSE, BUT BECAUSE IT IS A NEW

SUIT, IT FEELS NEW AND DIFFERENT AND JUST AWKWARD.

THAT'S NOT GONNA HELP WITH THE NERVES.

SO I WOULDN'T DO THAT.

I'D RATHER WEAR SOMETHING THAT I KNOW I'LL FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH.

WHAT I ALSO LIKE TO DO IS TO CHEW SOME GUM RIGHT BEFORE THE DEFENSE.

I KNOW QUITE SOME PEOPLE WHO SAY GUM CHEWING MAKES THEM LESS NERVOUS BECAUSE THIS MOTION

OF CHEWING AND EATING DOES SOMETHING TO THE BRAIN.

SOMETHING ELSE WHICH MIGHT HELP -- TAKE A DEEP BREATH EVERY NOW AND THEN.

TAKE A LITTLE BREAK, SLOW THINGS DOWN, DON'T RUSH.

AND FINALLY, YOU CAN ALSO SIMPLY ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR NERVOUSNESS.

TELL THE AUDIENCE AND THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS THAT YOU FEEL A LITTLE NERVOUS.

IN MY EXPERIENCE, AS SOON AS I TELL THE AUDIENCE THAT I AM A LITTLE NERVOUS, I ALREADY FEEL

A BIT BETTER, COZ I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING HONEST AND TRANSPARENT, AND THAT MAKES ME A BIT LESS

NERVOUS.

YOU MIGHT HAVE YOUR OWN TRICKS TO DEAL WITH NERVOUSNESS, SO USE THEM.

DON'T BE TOO NERVOUS.

NOW, THE LAST A FEW TIPS ARE ABOUT ANSWERING QUESTIONS.

PEOPLE CAN CATEGORIZE POTENTIAL QUESTIONS INTO A NUMBER OF CATEGORIES -- QUESTIONS ABOUT

THEORIES, QUESTIONS ABOUT METHODOLOGICAL ISSUES, QUESTIONS ABOUT DATA ANALYSIS, QUESTIONS ABOUT

PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS, QUESTIONS ABOUT THEORETICAL CONTRIBUTIONS, SO ON AND SO FORTH.

NOW IF WE THINK ABOUT IT, WHEN IT COMES TO DEFENSE, THERE ARE JUST TWO KINDS OF QUESTIONS

REALLY -- QUESTIONS I KNOW THE ANSWERS TO, AND QUESTIONS I DON'T. SO, LET'S FIRST TALK

ABOUT THOSE QUESTIONS TO WHICH WE HAVE AN ANSWER.

NUMBER 3: LET THEM FINISH AND THEN GIVE A STRUCTURED ANSWER.

YOUR OPPONENT MIGHT TAKE QUITE A BIT OF TIME TO ASK A QUESTION, THEY MIGHT SAY A LOT IN

ORDER TO BUILD UP TO THEIR QUESTION.

FINE, LET THEM.

IT IS ACTUALLY A GOOD THING THAT THEY ARE TAKING THEIR TIME.

SO, LET THEM TAKE A LOT OF TIME.

OBVIOUSLY, DON'T INTERRUPT THEM, DON'T RUSH THEM, LET THEM TALK, LET THEM FINISH, THANK

THEM AND COMPLIMENT THEM FOR THEIR GREAT QUESTION, THEN GIVE A STRUCTURED AND ORGANIZED ANSWER.

SAY SOMETHING LIKE -- I'D LIKE TO THANK MY HIGHLY LEARNED OPPONENT PROF.

SO AND SO FOR THIS VERY INTERESTING AND IMPORTANT QUESTION.

WITH RESPECT TO THE ISSUE OF BLABLA, I'D LIKE TO SAY 3 THINGS IN RESPONSE, FIRSTLY, SECONDLY,

AND FINALLY.

GIVE YOUR ANSWER IN A STRUCTURED MANNER, THANK YOUR OPPONENT AGAIN, AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT.

NUMBER 2: WHAT YOU CAN ALSO DO IS TO MAKE CONNECTIONS AMONG QUESTIONS.

AFTER YOU HAVE RESPONDED TO A FEW COMMITTEE MEMBERS, YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO MAKE CONNECTIONS

AND LINKS AMONGST THEIR QUESTIONS.

SO, IT IS NICE AS PART OF THE ANSWER TO A PARTICULAR OPPONENT TO REFER TO AN EARLIER

QUESTION FROM ANOTHER OPPONENT.

YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING LIKE -- THE ISSUE OF BLABLABLA IS INDEED A TRICKY ONE.

EARLIER, PROF.

SO AND SO ALSO TOUCHED UPON THIS ISSUE IN HIS REMARKS.

AS SUCH, I CAN IMAGINE A POTENTIAL READER MAY INDEED BE CONFUSED ABOUT THIS ISSUE, SO,

LET ME CLARIFY THIS A BIT FURTHER…

OR, LET ME ADD TO WHAT I ALREADY MENTIONED IN MY EARLIER RESPONSE TO PROF.

SO AND SO…

BECAUSE THESE COMMITTEE MEMBERS WANT TO SEE THAT WE ARE ABLE TO REASON AND THINK, SO BY

MAKING CONNECTIONS AND LINKS AMONG THEIR QUESTIONS, WE DEMONSTRATE THAT ABILITY.

AND THAT'S SOMETHING NICE.

AND NOW, FOR TIP NUMBER 1, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA

HOW TO ANSWER.

NO MATTER HOW WELL WE ARE PREPARED, NO MATTER HOW CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY WE HAVE DONE

EVERYTHING WE COULD, THERE WILL ALWAYS BE QUESTIONS THAT WE DID NOT ANTICIPATE, AT ALL,

QUESTIONS THAT WE JUST SIMPLY HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO ANSWER, AT THAT TIME, OFF THE TOP OF

OUR HEAD.

AND TO BE HONEST, SOMETIMES WE DO NOT KNOW HOW TO ANSWER A QUESTION BECAUSE WE ARE NOT

WELL PREPARED, SOMETIMES IT COULD JUST BE BECAUSE OUR MIND GOES BLANK, OR BECAUSE WE

ARE NERVOUS IN THIS PRETTY INTIMIDATING SITUATION.

OR MAYBE BECAUSE IT IS JUST A QUESTION WHICH IS NOT ANSWERABLE WITHOUT FIRST DIGGING INTO

THE LITERATURE AND THINKING ABOUT IT CAREFULLY; THERE MAY BE MANY REASONS FOR WHY WE MIGHT

JUST DRAW A BLANK AND CAN'T ANSWER A QUESTION.

SO, WHAT TO DO THEN?

SO, THIS IS MY TIP NUMBER 1 AND YOU MIGHT AGREE OR DISAGREE WITH IT.

BUT IN MY EXPERIENCE, IT IS HELPFUL TO HAVE A ROUTINE PREPARED FOR WHEN OUR MIND GOES

BLANK AND WE ARE SIMPLY UNABLE TO ANSWER A QUESTION.

THIS IS NOT TO SAY WE WANT TO FAKE AN ANSWER.

THIS IS JUST SO THAT WE HAVE SOMETHING PREPARED, SOMETHING RESPECTFUL AND INTELLIGENT TO SAY

FOR WHEN WE DON'T KNOW AT ALL HOW TO ANSWER A QUESTION.

SOMETHING LIKE --

LOOK LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IN THE SUBMISSION AND REVIEW PROCESS OF MY PAPERS, I WAS CONFRONTED

WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF CRITICAL QUESTIONS FROM REVIEWERS AND EDITORS, AND YET NONE OF

THOSE QUESTIONS TOUCHED ON THE IMPORTANT ISSUE THAT MY OPPONENT HAS JUST RAISED.

THIS REALLY GOES TO SHOW THE LEVEL OF CRITICAL THINKING AND ATTENTION TO DETAIL FROM MY OPPONENT

HERE.

BUT SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM CONFRONTED WITH THIS QUESTION, I AM GENUINELY NOT SURE

HOW TO BEST ANSWER THIS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

COULD WE PERHAPS MOVE ON TO THE NEXT QUESTION AND REVISIT THIS ISSUE IN JUST A MOMENT?

OR, WE COULD SAY -- … BUT SINCE THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I AM CONFRONTED WITH THIS QUESTION,

I AM GENUINELY NOT SURE HOW TO BEST ANSWER THIS OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

HOWEVER, I COULD THINK OF A FEW ISSUES RELATED TO THE QUESTION, PERHAPS I COULD MENTION THESE

THINGS IN RESPONSE.

LOOK, I AM SURE YOU CAN COME UP WITH BETTER ROUTINES THAN I. THE POINT IS -- I BELIEVE

IT IS BEST TO PREPARE SOMETHING RESPECTFUL AND POLITE TO SAY FOR WHEN WE HAVE ABSOLUTELY

NO IDEA HOW TO ANSWER A QUESTION.

IT IS IN MY VIEW BETTER TO GO WITH A PRE-PLANNED ROUTINE THAN TO HAVE DEAD AIR, BECAUSE THAT'S

GONNA CONTRIBUTE TO THIS SENSE OF DEFEAT AND LOSS OF CONTROL.

SO, PREPARE A FEW ROUTINES, JUST IN CASE.

IN ADDITION TO THESE 10 THINGS WHICH WE CAN DO IN ORDER PREPARE FOR THE DEFENSE, THERE

ARE ALSO A FEW REFLECTIONS THAT I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL.

THESE ARE NOT REALLY TIPS PER SE OR ACTIONS THAT WE CAN TAKE IN ORDER TO PREPARE, BUT

THEY ARE THINGS WHICH MIGHT INTERESTING OR USEFUL TO KNOW.

THE FIRST POINT IS THIS -- I BELIEVE IF A QUESTIONER IS BEING PARTICULARLY TOUGH ON

YOU, BEING UNREASONABLY TOUGH ON YOU, ASKING YOU REALLY DIFFICULT QUESTIONS, IMPOSSIBLE

QUESTIONS, YOU KNOW WHAT, IT IS NOT PERSONAL!

THE REASON THEY ARE DOING THIS IS PROBABLY NOT BECAUSE THIS PERSON DOESN'T LIKE YOU.

IT MAY BE BECAUSE THIS PERSON DOESN'T QUITE LIKE YOUR SUPERVISOR.

MAYBE THIS GUY HOLDS SOME KIND OF A GRUDGE OVER YOUR SUPERVISOR; MAYBE THERE IS SOME

TENSION OR ANIMOSITY BETWEEN THEM, THAT'S WHY THEY ARE DOING THIS, AND YOU ARE SIMPLY

THE VICTIM.

SO, JUST KEEP IN MIND THIS POTENTIAL POSSIBILITY.

IF AN OPPONENT IS BEING REALLY TOUGH ON YOU, IT PROBABLY ISN'T REALLY ABOUT YOU.

ANOTHER THING IS THIS -- AS A COMMITTEE MEMBER, AS A PROFESSOR WHO IS SERVING ON THE COMMITTEE,

THIS PERSON WOULD OF COURSE WANT TO ASK GOOD AND SMART QUESTIONS THAT ARE IMPORTANT AND

INTELLIGENT, THEY WANT TO DO JUSTICE TO THEIR OWN REPUTATION.

AND IT IS NOT EASY -- THEY HAVE TO SPEND TIME READING THROUGH YOUR THESIS AND THEN THINK

OF THINGS THAT CAN BE THE BASIS OF A GOOD QUESTION AND THEN THEY HAVE TO FORMULATE THE

QUESTION IN AN ELOQUENT WAY.

IT TAKES EFFORT.

BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?

THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ASKING A QUESTION THAT'S INTELLIGENT AND IMPORTANT VS.

ASKING A VERY DIFFICULT QUESTION THAT THE CANDIDATE SIMPLY CANNOT ANSWER ON THE SPOT.

SO, AS A PHD CANDIDATE, OR AS A STUDENT WHO IS DEFENDING A THESIS, WHEN YOU ARE CONFRONTED

WITH AN INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT QUESTION WHICH IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ANSWER WITHOUT DIGGING INTO

ADDITIONAL LITERATURE AND ENGAGING IN PROPER REFLECTION, CHANCES ARE, THIS PERSON WHO IS

ASKING YOU THIS DIFFICULT QUESTION IS NOT TRYING TO MAKE IT DIFFICULT FOR YOU, BUT RATHER,

THEIR REAL MOTIVE IS THAT THEY ARE JUST TRYING TO SEEM SMART IN FRONT OF OTHER PROFESSORS

AND THE AUDIENCE.

SO AGAIN, DON'T TAKE THIS PERSONALLY.

GO WITH YOUR ROUTINE, SEE TIP NUMBER 1, AND JUST CARRY ON.

WHAT YOU CAN ALSO DO IS TO POLITELY TOSS THE QUESTION BACK OVER.

BECAUSE IF THE REASON THAT THEY ARE ASKING THAT QUESTION IS TO SEEM SMART, I'LL BET YA

THAT THEY HAVE AN ANSWER AND THEY ARE EAGER TO TELL IT.

SO YOU COULD OF COURSE FIRST MAKE YOUR ATTEMPT AT ANSWERING THE QUESTION, AND THEN POLITELY

ASK YOUR OPPONENT TO SHARE THEIR THOUGHTS AND PERSPECTIVES ON THAT QUESTION WITH THE

AUDIENCE.

CHANCE ARE, THEY ARE QUITE EAGER AND HAPPY TO DO SO.

ONE MORE REFLECTION: WHAT DO YOU THINK THE MOST DIFFICULT KIND OF QUESTIONS ARE DURING

A DEFENSE?

IN MY VIEW, DEFENSE QUESTIONS COME IN THREE MAIN FLAVORS -- ASKING FOR CONTENT EXPLANATIONS;

ASKING FOR REFLECTIONS AND HYPOTHETICALS; ASKING FOR YOU TO REFUTE AN ARGUMENT.

SO, ASKING FOR EXPLANATIONS COULD BE SOMETHING LIKE THIS -- ON PAGE 120, YOU SAID THIS AND

THAT, CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHAT YOU MEAN EXACTLY?

CAN YOU EXPLAIN THIS POINT IN MORE DETAIL?

CAN YOU ELABORATE A BIT FURTHER?

THESE QUESTIONS USUALLY ARE NOT THAT DIFFICULT.

YOU HAVE YOUR THESIS IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU WROTE THE WHOLE THING, YOU CAN EXPLAIN.

RIGHT?

THEN REFLECTIONS AND HYPOTHETICALS, AN EXAMPLE COULD BE -- WELL, HYPOTHETICALLY SPEAKING,

IF YOU WERE TO REDO THE STUDY DESCRIBED IN CHAPTER 3, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?

THESE TYPES OF QUESTIONS ARE ALSO NOT THAT DIFFICULT.

IT'S REFLECTIVE AND HYPOTHETICAL, SO FEEL FREE TO SPECULATE.

THE MOST DIFFICULT TYPE OF QUESTIONS IN MY VIEW IS WHEN THE OPPONENTS PRESENT YOU WITH

A WELL REASONED ARGUMENT FOR YOU TO REFUTE.

THAT CAN BE REALLY DIFFICULT.

AN EXAMPLE -- ON PAGE 76 YOU SAID THIS, THEN ON PAGE 98 YOU SAID THAT.

THIS CLEARLY SHOWS YOU SUBSCRIBE TO WHICHEVER THEORY OF PARADIGM.

NOW, ACCORDING THIS PUBLICATION BY PROF.

SO AND SO IN THIS OR THAT JOURNAL, THEY HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE THEORY OR MEASUREMENT YOU

USED IS IN FACT INVALID BECAUSE OF THIS AND THAT REASON.

SO, PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT LED TO YOUR DECISION TO HAVE CHOSEN TO USE THIS PARTICULAR OUTDATED

OR INVALID THEORY OR MEASUREMENT.

THIS COULD BE QUITE DIFFICULT.

WE COULD TRY TO REFUTE PART OF THEIR PREMISES OR FIND FLAWS IN THE LOGIC.

BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS -- THEY SPENT MUCH TIME COMING UP WITH THIS QUESTION BUT YOU

DON'T HAVE TIME TO REALLY THINK ABOUT THIS QUESTION ON THE SPOT.

SURE, IF THEY GAVE YOU THIS QUESTION A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFOREHAND, THEN YOU CAN PREPARE AN

ANSWER.

BUT HEARING THIS QUESTION ON THE SPOT, WITH NO TIME TO THINK, WITH NO OPPORTUNITY TO DIG

INTO LITERATURE, IT IS VERY HARD TO ANSWER IT WELL.

SO, FEEL FREE TO GIVE IT A TRY.

IF IT DOESN'T WORK, YOU HAVE YOUR ROUTINES.

ALL RIGHT, FINALLY, LET ME END ON A POSITIVE NOTE.

WHETHER YOU ARE DEFENDING YOUR THESIS IN CONTINENTAL EUROPE, OR THE UK, OR IN NORTH AMERICA, OR

AUSTRALIA, WHEREVER, THE STATS ARE CLEARLY IN YOUR FAVOR.

SOME PEOPLE SAY -- OH THE BRITISH VIVA SYSTEM IS REALLY TOUGH; OR COMPARED WITH EUROPE,

AMERICAN UNIVERSITIES ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO FAIL YOU ON YOUR DEFENSE.

WELL, IT IS TRUE THAT THERE ARE SOME GEOGRAPHICAL DIFFERENCES.

IN SOME COUNTRIES AND UNIVERSITIES, THE PHD DEFENSE IS REALLY MORE OF A CEREMONY WHEREAS

IN OTHERS, IT IS MORE OF AN EXAMINATION.

BUT THE FACT IS -- FAILING A THESIS DEFENSE IS REALLY RARE, REGARDLESS WHERE YOU ARE DEFENDING

IT.

IF YOU GET TO DEFEND YOUR THESIS, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY PASS.

A PHD CANDIDATE FAILING A DEFENSE WILL REFLECT VERY POORLY ON THE ADVISOR, THE COMMITTEE,

THE FACULTY, AND EVEN THE UNIVERSITY.

AND ALSO, IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, ONE CAN ONLY SCHEDULE A DEFENSE ONCE THE THESIS HAS BEEN

APPROVED OR AT LEAST PRELIMINARILY APPROVED, BY THE ADVISORS AND SUPERVISORS AND RELEVANT

REVIEWERS.

IF YOU ARE NOT READY, YOUR ADVISORS WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO SCHEDULE YOUR DEFENSE.

SO, IF YOU GET TO DEFEND YOUR THESIS, YOU WILL MOST LIKELY SUCCEED.

THE STATS ARE CLEARLY AND OVERWHELMINGLY IN YOUR FAVOR!

SO, JUST GO FOR IT.

THANK YOU FOR WATCHING THIS RANYWAYZ RANDOM VIDEO, PLEASE LIKE AND SUB, I'LL SEE YOU NEXT

TIME.

S. Korea considering various ways to increase pressure on N. Korea - Duration: 2:16.

The live-action remake of Disney's Mulan has finally cast its main character and fans

are praising the production's choice.

Chinese actress Liu Yifei, also known as Crystal Liu, was

picked out of nearly one thousand candidates to play the lead role.

The casting comes amid criticism that Hollywood was using white actors to play Asian characters.

Recent films accused of whitewashing include Japanese anime 'Ghost in the Shell' - the

main role of which was played by Scarlett Johansson.

Chinese epic 'The Great Wall' starred Matt Damon as its lead character.

Mulan is slated to be released in 2019.

Every Illegal Criminal Cheering Today After Traitor Rubio Granted All SICK Gift Overnight - Duration: 12:23.

Every Illegal Criminal Cheering Today After Traitor Rubio Granted All SICK Gift Overnight

� This Means War Americans are still left in shock following

the non-guilty verdict for the illegal alien who shot Kate Steinle in the back of the head

in 2015.

Her murder launched a national debate on immigration policy in this country, and for the past two

years, we had hoped and waited for justice to finally be served, only to realize we live

a world where illegals can now shoot Americans in broad daylight and get away with it.

As liberals are collectively rejoicing over the news of their precious illegal walking

free, one of Washington D.C.�s most infamous traitors, Marco Rubio, has just made an unbelievable

announcement following the non-guilty verdict, proving once again that this man is nothing

but an Obama minion set on destroying this country.

Kate Steinle�s murder falls directly on the shoulders of Barack Hussein Obama who

refused to protect our Southern Border, as well as the mayors of these sanctuary cities

who keep thumbing their nose at federal law by choosing to harbor illegal aliens in their

cities.

Rubio has constantly had the back of Obama and his criminal-pandering agenda over the

years, as evidenced by Rubio�s unbelievable act of treason earlier this year where he

worked alongside known Muslim terrorists to author Senate Resolution 118, that would make

speaking out against Islam an illegal crime.

So it should come as no surprise that following the non-guilty verdict of Kate Steinle�s

killer, Rubio would immediately throw America under the bus by pushing for another Obama-motivated

policy.

What is shocking however is the timing that Rubio announced his new mission to protect

Obama�s illegal aliens, as his announcement came just hours after the non-guilty verdict

was handed down.

Back in September, Trump ordered the end of DACA, an unconstitutional Obama-era program

that protected 800,000 people who were in our country illegally from deportation.

Trump understood the seriousness of sending these illegals back to Mexico, as many of

these Obama �dreamers� have been the perpetrators of absolutely horrifying crimes on Americans,

including that of illegal Francisco Rios-Covarrubias, who kidnapped, raped and murdered a 3-year-old

girl back in 2012.

The little girl�s body was found by authorities duct-taped and covered in feces inside of

the illegal alien�s closet.

But apparently Marco Rubio doesn�t care about murdered 3-year-old children, and following

the shocking exoneration of Kate Steinle�s killer, is announcing his mission to protect

illegal aliens from Trump�s deportation.

�The former co-architect of the infamous 2013 �Gang of Eight� amnesty bill, Sen.

Marco Rubio (R-FL), suggested that he is open to a temporary amnesty for nearly 800,000

illegal aliens that would eventually lead to a �permanent� amnesty,� Breitbart

reported.

Rubio announced his plan in an interview with Fox News� Laura Ingraham, where he�s standing

firmly with the Obama-created policy that was put into place under the Obama Administration

that successfully shielded illegals in our country from being deported.

The very same policy that led to the deaths of countless Americans!

What planet is this guy from where following the acquittal of Kate Steinle�s murderer,

he would immediately come out fighting for the rights of these illegal criminals?

Is Rubio a closet liberal?

Here�s just a few of the horrifying crimes committed by Obama�s DACA recipients that

Rubio is all too eager to protect, proving once again we have straight up traitors in

the Republican Party.

1.

Obama�s DREAMer Kills Two Girls in Hit-and-Run While They Were Playing Outside

One of the most horrifying incidents perpetrated by one of Obama�s �dreamers� was back

in 2014 when Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros, an illegal alien protected by DACA, killed two little

girls � Anna Dieter-Eckerdt and Abigail Robinson ages 6 and 11 respectively � in

a hit and run accident.

Garcia-Cisneros was convicted of counts of felony for the incident.

�Dreamer Cinthya Garcia-Cisneros ran over step-sisters Anna, 6, and Abigail, 11, in

2013, who were playing in a pile of leaves in the road, killing them both.

Garcia-Cisneros then drove straight to an auto car wash in what the court ruled was

an attempt to wash the evidence from her SUV,� The Daily Wire reported.

2.

Obama�s DREAMer Rapes 3-Year-Old, Duct Tapes Her, Puts Her In Trash Bag, Covers Her With

Feces

This horrifying crime from January 2016 was absolutely horrific, as it involved a sex

crime against a three-year old little girl who was found by authorities duct-taped and

covered in feces inside of a closet.

Breitbart News reported in January 2016:

�The illegal immigrant who was arrested this week in Arizona for a sex crime against

a three-year old girl, was being shielded from repatriation by President Barack Obama�s

2012 �Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals� program, according to the Senate Judiciary

Committee.�

�The little girl was found Monday, while duct-taped, inside a trash bag, and covered

in feces in a closet in an apartment occupied by Francisco Rios-Covarrubias.

He was charged with kidnapping, sexual conduct with a minor, felony child abuse, and sex

trafficking.

The child�s mother was also arrested.�

3.

Obama�s Dreamer Murders Los Angeles High School football star Jamiel Shaw II

The Daily Wire reported: �In 2008, 17-year-old Los Angeles High School football star Jamiel

Shaw II was murdered in cold blood by gang member and Dreamer Pedro Espinoza.�

4.

Obama�s DREAMer Murders American Teen in a Sanctuary City

Laura Wilkerson described the horror of what happened to her young son Josh, who was savagely

murdered by an illegal alien protected by Obama�s unconstitutional DACA program in

2013.

Breitbart News reported:

�We found out later that what he [Hermilio Moralez] did was he asked Josh for a ride

home from school and Josh said, �sure,�� Wilkerson said.

�Then he kicked him so hard in the stomach.

Josh was about this big around and he weighed about 100 pounds in the body bag.

He kicked him so hard in the stomach that his liver sliced in two and his spine sliced

in two.

He ruptured his spleen.

He took a closet rod and beat Josh over the head so hard with it that it broke in four

pieces.

He strangled him, then let him go.

Strangled him, let him go.

Per the medical examiner, it was just torturous.�

�After he murdered him, as he said, when Josh quit having bloody bubbles come out of

his nose, he knew he was gone, he tied him up like an animal with about 13 ropes from

his the back of his neck to the back of his hands, to the back of his feet.

He covered his head with his school shirt.

Then he put him in the back of my son�s truck and he drove around and he took two

dollars out of Josh�s wallet and he stopped and bought gas.

Then he took him to a field and he took his wallet and school ID out and just placed it

by the body.

Then he doused him with gas and set him on fire.

It was just incredible.�

5.

Obama�s DREAMer Brutally Rapes Woman In Sanctuary City

This horrifying crime was so brutal that it rocked the local town of Burien, Washington.

Salvador Diaz-Garcia, 23, attacked a local woman at a gym who was walking on a treadmill,

attacking the woman viciously, breaking her jaw and nose, and ripping half of her ear

off.

6.

Father of Murdered Florida Mother Reveals Killer Was DACA Recipient And an Obama DREAMer

Breitbart reported: �Curt is the father of Kelsey Engelsen, the 24-year-old woman

who was allegedly murdered outside a bar by alleged DACA recipient and convicted felon

Carlos Ruben Rodriguez, 24-years-old.

As previously reported by FOX 4 Now, Rodriguez has been charged with second-degree murder

following the incident in which he and another man were allegedly in a fight.

Witnesses say that�s when Rodriguez began allegedly shooting, killing Engelsen, and

wounding another woman, Cassandra Santos.�

7.

Three DREAMers Arrested in ICE Raid With Enormous List Of Felonies

�Three illegal alien gang members arrested in an ICE operation back in May had protected

status under the Obama-era DACA program.

Since DACA�s inception, more than 1,500 illegal immigrants saw their protected status

revoked after they were found to be involved with a gang or committed a crime, Breitbart

Texas reported.�

8.

Obama�s DREAMer Helped Smuggle Illegal Aliens in Texas

Illegal alien protected by DACA, Juan Valdez Molina, was busted in Texas for helping a

drag queen smuggle illegal aliens across the U.S.-Mexico Border, Breitbart Texas reported.

9.

23 DACA Recipients Arrested In Unprecedented Nationwide Crime Sweep

Breitbart News reported in March 2015:

Of 2,059 criminal immigrants arrested in a recent nationwide sweep, 23 were beneficiaries

of President Obama�s 2012 amnesty, or the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program,

according to DHS.

The nearly two dozen illegal immigrants had been shielded from deportation by DACA, and

while all 23 had been part of the program eight failed to get their status renewed,

meaning that 15 of the arrested criminal aliens were current DACA recipients, the Washington

Times reported Thursday.

10.

15 Other DREAMers Of Obama�s Arrested for �Dangerous� Crimes

In 2015 federal agents did a sweep targeting 15 people who were receiving amnesty from

Obama, who were found to be guilty of serious crimes.

Breitbart News reported in 2015: �A U.S. official who was briefed on the arrests told

the Associated Press that 14 �of the 15 had been convicted of a crime.�

11.

Obama�s DREAMer Caught With Meth and Other Drugs

Breitbart reported in May:�Juan Manuel Martinez, 19, will soon become one of a few DACA recipients

who will be deported back to his native country after run-ins with the law.

Earlier this year, Martinez was arrested for drug possession after Monterey County sheriff�s

deputies found meth and marijuana in his vehicle.

Martinez was also charged with trespassing, which he later pleaded no contest to.�

12.

Obama�s DREAMer Arrested For Leading Child Sex Ring

�Hernandez-Rodas, an illegal alien protected by DACA, was charged with child sex crimes

after he allegedly lured a 14-year-old girl, who ended up being a federal agent, into a

hotel room for sex, Breitbart Texas reported.�

13.

Obama�s DREAMer Found Guilty Of Embezzlement

Gus Zamudio, one of Obama�s 18-year-old �dreamers� was returned to Mexico after

embezzling �approximately $3,000 from Harris Teeter, the grocery store he was working for

in February, according to police,� reports confirmed back in May.

Had Obama put the lives of Americans before his own agenda or keeping illegals in this

country to serve as the next generation of Democratic voters, Kate Steinle and all these

other victims would still be alive today.

Marco Rubio is a disgusting human being for leading the latest push in D.C. to protect

these criminals, proving yet again that is is just another Obama minion set on destroying

our country.

Turtle Shell Peeling? What to do during shedding! | Turtle 101 - Duration: 6:21.

Hey guys, welcome back to the channel, it's the Turtle Girl.

Today, we're talking about turtle shedding.

So, I noticed that Nemo was just shedding recently, so I thought I'd do a quick video to show you guys

what this is, why they do it, how it works, and what you can do to help it along.

So basically, turtles shed both their skin and their shell scutes

in order to keep their shell healthy and to allow growth.

So when they shed their skin, you can only see it in the water

and it'll look kind of translucent and metallic. You'll know it's shedding because it looks kind of thin and wispy

Some people mistake it for fungus

but if it's thin and wispy, it's probably shedding. This is totally normal, all reptiles do it.

The only time you would need to be concerned is when you see excessive shedding. This is when the skin is just

sloughing off and there's a lot of it, you can see it very clearly,

and there's just layers upon layers of skin coming off. This usually means one of two things:

Either it is a sign of rapid growth, which can be caused by overfeeding or high temperatures -

so if you notice that your turtle is growing really fast

and they're shedding a lot, then you might want to tweak either how much you're feeding them

or the temperature of the water. Alternatively, this could mean that

your turtle has some sort of irritation or infection, so you might want to investigate that.

However, shedding of the skin is usually a pretty easy process - nothing to be worried about.

In fact, you won't always notice that they're doing it.

Then there is also scute shedding. Scute shedding is the way that they allow their shell to grow and

keep their shell healthy. Scutes are just the little portions or sections of the turtle shell.

Periodically your turtles will shed these. For growing turtles,

this is more often in order to allow for their growth, whereas adult turtles just do it to make sure that

their shell is healthy.

It's a pretty regular occurrence for most turtles.

I say most because certain turtles don't shed until a certain age or they shed in a different way.

For example, diamondback terrapins won't shed until they are adults whereas things like soft shells

will have to shed differently because they don't actually have hard shells. But most turtles will shed their scutes.

Some indicators that your turtle is shedding

is first of all, you might notice that their shell looks a little bit metallic

or shiny when they're in the water,

and this is a result of air bubbles being trapped underneath the scutes,

because those scutes are loose. So that would be your first, (kind of most obvious) indicator of shedding.

Also, you might notice that your turtle is basking in an effort to get UVB to keep the shell healthy and to promote shell growth.

Then you might notice that your turtle is rubbing its shell against decorations.

So these are all good signs that your turtle is shedding.

Then when they actually start shedding, the scutes start coming up in

papery thin sheets and these are made out of keratin, the same material as our fingernails,

And you usually can just find these floating around the tank and you can take them out.

There are a couple things you can do to help shedding along and make it an easier process for you and the turtle.

So first of all, something really easy you can do is add a pellet to their diet that is high in vitamin E

and vitamin A. So vitamin E and vitamin A just

help promote a healthy shell and shell growth,

all those types of good things. The pellet that I use and that a lot of other turtle keepers use is

Hikari koi wheat germ. Now, it is a pellet made for koi, but it's high in both those two vitamins

so this really helps with shell growth and you can just replace about

30% of your turtles normal pellets with this and that can really help shedding along.

Links to Hikari wheat germ in the description if you want to check that out.

Another thing you can do is take them outside for

some real UVB, of course when it's warm enough - at least over 70* F

and if they're younger than probably more like 73* or 75*, just to make sure they don't get cold.

But you can take them outside when it's sunny for some

real UVB, because the artificial stuff that we provide them

isn't always the strongest or the best, so it's a good idea to take them outside

and just give them 15 to 30 minutes of

outdoor time in order to let them soak up that real,

strong, healthy UVB actually from the Sun.

Now, you just want to make sure that you are ALWAYS watching your turtle when they go outside.

They can move surprisingly fast, so just always watch your turtle when they're outside and

make sure there's no predators around. Make sure your cat

or dog isn't out there. They can quickly snatch up your turtle and bad situations can happen.

Just watch your turtle if you take them outside, but natural sunlight is a

great thing that really helps with shedding.

Finally, another thing that you can try is taking a soft bristled toothbrush and

gently rubbing your turtle's shell with this. This will also help clean the shell and loosen the scutes.

Now, some turtles don't always like this, so if your turtle seems really

irritated because they feel the bristles through their shell, then just leave them be and

give them some rough decorations for them to

scratch their shells on. But if they'll allow you, that can be another thing that helps with shedding.

Now, one thing you should never ever ever do when a turtle is shedding is

once you see the scutes coming up and they start peel off, never use force

to pull off those with your own hands, because though you might be

intending to help that turtle shed, you could actually

end up hurting them more, because by pulling up the scute you could

accidentally be damaging the growing shell underneath. So never pull up a turtle scute

that is being shed in effort to try to remove it with force. Just let it fall off naturally.

They will eventually come off naturally.

So yeah,

shedding is a totally normal thing.

Nothing to be worried about. If you have any questions about it feel free to leave it in the comments!

Thank you guys so much for watching,

I hope this video helped you, and I'll see you next Friday!

Have a turtley awesome day! See you guys later, Bye!

Oh, WAIT, wait, wait I almost forgot... okay.

So, you guys, we have merch now, so if you want to get a cool - turtley awesome shirt,

then be sure to check out my recent video - all the details are in that description, so yeah... ok for real now -

See you guys later. Bye!!!!

Minimalist Parenting: The 5 Baby Items You'll ACTUALLY USE - Duration: 7:10.

Hello it's Chloe from Veggie Magnifique and as per usual I'm

wearing my baby. And today I'd like to lend a helping hand to any parents to be

out there who've been confronted with the list - the liiiist. Now, the list is something that you'll

typically receive when you announce you're pregnant and it's a sort of 9 to

15 page document with a whole load of stuff that you need for your baby

And I personally beg to differ. Sorry, we just needed a little reshuffle

there. Much of the list will be clothes and now you can just ignore all of that because

you're gonna get a ton of clothes as gifts. So simply rely on that, and I have

to say I was very lucky because I also had three massive big bags full of

clothes gifted to me as hand-me-downs from my friend Lucie, so that was awesome. And

the same thing may well happen to you because kids grow out of stuff like nobody's

business so you're likely to have a friend or

relation in your entourage who is looking to get rid of a pile of little

person clothes. So without further ado here is my list: something for their bum,

something to sleep in, something to journey in, something to carry them in,

and something to protect them. And that is it.

The first one something for their bums is obviously nappies and I'm sort of to-ing and fro-ing for

practicality's sake, between cloth nappies and disposable nappies so I have

these little BumGenius ones and they're actually the best in the market as per

my research. And then when we run out of our stash of cloth nappies we just

switch over to disposables and sort of back and forth like that and that way we

go through our disposable nappies less quickly and we're adding a

fewer nappies to the mountain of disposable nappies in landfills.

So next up, something to journey in - simply a car seat, and the latest regulation is that

they sit back to front in a sort of a rounded little seat and we've found,

incorrigible minimalists that we are, that the car seat can double up as a little

rocking chair for baby inside and he loves it. We sit him down in that and it

has the same effect as one of those all-singing all-dancing £200

rocking chair things that play music and vibrate and all of that - no, just

double up your car seat as a little nook for baby and he'll love it. And the car

seat we got secondhand so that was good.

So next one, something to sleep in. For this one you have lots of choices. We went with the co-dodo little sidecar

sleepy bay thing that attaches to the side of the bed and to be honest he

hasn't slept in it once. Because the difference between actual co-sleeping, so

with him actually in the bed with us, and putting him in the sidecar is massive.

It's the difference between him sleeping and not sleeping and crying - wailing -

because he can't touch or smell us I suppose. So I have to say that the

co-sleeper was a bit of a waste of money. So in the interests of extreme

minimalism you can certainly avoid buying a newborn baby bed or sidecar

thingy. And I've actually found that co- sleeping has saved our nights because he

just kind of gets on with it and I go back to sleep. And then for daytime naps,

either a bassinet or one of those massive U-shaped breastfeeding pillows

that tie up in the middle so it creates a kind of big cushion for him. Again, I was

very lucky to be a gifted a bassinet by lovely Lucie - thank you, Lucie!

Now, the fourth thing - something to carry them in. Now this is a lifesaver.

So I have the Ergo Baby carrier which I was wearing earlier on in this video. And it

is amazing. It's really comfortable, you can customise the size of it so it's

good for men and women. Baby Magnifique absolutely loves it he just goes

straight to sleep in it whenever we put him in it and take him outside for a

little walkie. And that was gifted to us as well by another amazing friend Sylvaine.

And these Ergo Baby carriers are really built to last because she used it for

her child then she lent it to another friend and then she lent it to me so

it's seen a lot of babies so far and it's still going strong so I would

highly recommend the Ergo Baby carrier. And it seems to be unanimously popular.

Another thing to consider would be a sling it's a little bit perhaps more

complicated and tricky to put on but you soon get used to it. So I have the Moby

wrap, another amazing hand-me-down. I think

baby Magnifique is gonna win the eco-baby award because we haven't actually

bought him anything new.

And then the last thing is something to protect them and I have it right here. It's this cutie little hat and it's got special protective fabric on the top bit that

protects from electromagnetic frequencies so that's excellent because

nobody really knows what the long-term effects of radio-frequency EMFs are and

that is the frequency that's emitted by mobile telephones. We just don't have the

data yet, it's all so new. So the World Health Organisation came out with a

statement about EMFs that said that they are possible carcinogens. So as we wait

for actual proof to come out I'm just not willing to take that risk so I

choose to protect baby Magnifique's little head with an EMF shield and I did

the same during my pregnancy with a blanket that had the same EMF shield

material in it. And it just makes me a little more at ease about all of these

crazy invisible rays that are around us. So those two products are by Belly Armor

and you can find those online very easily. So that's it those are my 5 essential

things for a happy baby and a happy family. And you'll soon get a feeling for

what's essential and what's not when your baby's here so don't fall into the

trap of ordering everything on those lists while you're still

pregnant with your first child because you really don't know what's superfluous

and what's really going to help you. And if you do realise there was something on

that list that was really really essential that's something that a quick

shop on Amazon will solve. So my best advice for parents to be is to just wait

it out, wait and see and most of all focus on the wonderful period that

is pregnancy and not on the overwhelm that can come with trying to buy

everything in advance. And you'll also receive a lot of gifts and hand-me-downs

which is wonderful. So wait and see what you get and buy as

little as possible. Because nobody wants a house filled with baby clutter and

nobody wants to be overwhelmed with a whole load of new things that you have

to buy. So it's goodbye for me and goodbye from little baby who's currently

eating my arm and if you could hear suckling sounds during this video your

ears did not deceive you. Multitasking is the name of the game. So bye bye from me

and baby Louis, and we will catch you next time. Bye!

Beauty Edu: Why Does Tea Tree Shampoo Tingle? Cue peppermint! - Duration: 3:50.

I'm well happy today because I got a question on Twitter from @MorRobots and

he asked me why does tea tree shampoo work so well on a dry scalp and the

answer is probably the tingling of course but I bet you he wanted to know

the science behind it because this is a science and beauty channel and although

I don't know exactly why tea oil tingles I do know why peppermint tingles

so I figured we would examine that because there may be some clues in there

on why tea tree oil tingles so to do some research for this project I bought

a bag of peppermints these were actually really hard to find I guess they're just

out of vogue nobody has them anymore and I wanted to do a test where I put

one in my mouth and talked about how it feels because it feels in some ways like

tea tree oil mmm and it feels very cooling and it feels very tingly and if

you leave it long enough it actually can be kind of numbing so let's talk about

what's going on there gross put that on a piece of paper no big deal so what's

happening here is that we have these receptors in our skin that can sense

cold they're protein receptors and the name of the protein receptor is trpm8

and what it does is it sends a signal from the skin to the brain when the

temperature falls now what's interesting about the peppermint is that it has a

molecule in it called menthol and menthol can bind to this receptor and

activate it so it can fool the brain into making you feel cold even when it's

not we also have these protein receptors for heat we have this receptor called

trpv1 and that is triggered by capsaicin and capsaicin is found in peppers like

the habanero and the ghost pepper and when we put one of those peppers into

our mouth we feel extreme heat we feel the temperature increase even though the

temperature outside isn't changing at all that's pretty cool so how this relates

to tea tree oil is that the tea tree oil may be doing the same thing it might be

binding to the trpm8 to the cooling receptor and fooling our skin and our

brain into feeling cool when it's not and so that might be why we have the

cold sensation when we have a tea tree oil in a shampoo and then that's applied

to our scalp I was doing some research online and I found out about another

receptor it's called the Kappa opioid receptor and that receptor is

responsible for a numbing sensation and so when I looked on the Wikipedia I'm

gonna look it up right now it's my computer's off screen but I noticed a

line where it said that the K-opioid receptor can be activated by natural

alkaloids and terpenes it turns out that tea tree oil has some terpene molecules

in it so the numbing sensation that we feel could be part of tea tree oils

molecules or at least some of them binding to the K opioid receptor now

I don't know any of this for sure it's not 100% right now we're just talking

about what I've learned but what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go out and do some

research I figured some of you though out there might know the answer already

and if you do definitely send me any research or information that you have

and that way we could help @MorRobots find out why his shampoo feels so good

like this video if you enjoyed what you've seen or subscribe to this channel

and if you want to be notified every time I put out a video click that

5 Vigilante Movies & Shows for The Punisher Fans - Duration: 5:51.

5 Vigilante Movies (or Shows) for Fans of The Punisher by Zach Quest

Welcome to WickedFeed.

A place to kill time, be inspired, and embrace everything wicked.

Every human on this Earth has intense feelings for something.

Whether it's your significant other, video games or Twitter drama, we all care about

something.

But, have you ever cared about something so much that you would, I don't know, kill for

it?

Netflix's The Punisher quenched everyone's justice-and-bloodlust.

For a while at least.

Now that we've watched the first season, it has us thinking.

What other vigilantes are out there?

In our dark world of crime, violence and evil, we hear screams for justice.

Which is exactly what we're talking about today.

In fact, everyone who seems to be driven by that insane sense of justice should probably

leave it to the people in movies and TV.

Hi, I'm Brad with WickedFeed, and today we're taking a look at 5 vigilante movies and shows

for fans of THE PUNISHER!

#5 The Batman Series

The most obvious choice on this list is Batman.

I mean you can't make a list about vigilantes or justice without talking about this dude.

A man who's scared of bats dons the appearance of a bat to fight crime and punish evil, by

breaking their bones!

And leaving them in prison to eventually escape He's cold, calculating, callous and will do

anything to stop the bad guys.

The dude's pretty weird, he just sits in his house all day in the dark waiting for bad

shit to happen on the computer (pause) not.. like.. me.

Umm, hey, what's Batman's favorite drink?

Just ice.

#4 24 24 is an iconic TV show.

Not only is it one of the shows that helped hearken in the golden age of television, it's

also one of the few pieces of main stream media to have a real vigilante as the main

character.

Jack Bauer, played by Kiefer Sutherland, isn't just one of the best characters in espionage

fiction TAKE THAT JAMES BOND he's also one of the most intense, badass characters in

television.

Listen, in most TV shows when the main character gets taken hostage they conveniently wait

for help or find ways to approach a situation non-lethal.

Sometimes they don't even like killing people! Jack Bauer though?

The dude gets taken hostage and a minute later drives a pair of scissors through a covert

agent's neck.

Even before Jack knows that they're a REAL bad guy.

Forget Jason Borne, forget James Bond.

All hail JACK BAUER.

#3 Boondock Saints Has there ever been a case where people have

killed someone over religious reasons?

Oh (somber tone) well, I guess there has been, but this is different.

They kill for good.

Or, at least that's the constant debate in these vigilante-type conversations, isn't

it?

In Boondock Saints, two irish brothers, Connor and Murphy accidentally kill some mafia dudes

and turn themselves in.

But the cops release them as heroes.

They take it upon themselves to say it's a calling by Our Lord God to start purging some

evil.

Are they doing the wrong thing or the right thing?

Well, that's what's fun about vigilante stories...

It always gets a little messy.

(scene where cat explodes)

#2 Prisoners I know this is a weird pick, but you gotta

listen to me!

Prisoners is about two fathers determined to find their missing daughters.

And one father, played by Hugh Jackman, is, shall we say, VERY determined to find his

daughter.

A vigilante is someone who takes justice into their own hands and disperses punishments

as they see fit, right?

Well how about a story that involves a father who is so convinced that a certain person

has taken his daughter that he builds an enclosure in the bathroom, chains the accused inside

and he makes it so the hot water pipes only disperse boiling water.

It all really comes down to that age-old vigilante question: What are you prepared to do?

Seriously though, watch Prisoners and pick your jaw up off the floor when the movie is

over.

#1 Kick Ass Yes, it's hilarious.

But it's also one of the best vigilante/super hero movies of all time.

Kick Ass has many levels of referential humor to comic books, movies and also you, the viewer.

It's a scathing movie that pokes and prods at nerds and the culture.

Dave Lizewski is just a stupid loser in high-school, obsessed with comic books.

One day he gets his ass kicked so bad...

Well, stabbed and hit by a car that he has to get metal rods put into his body.

Ironically, this sounds like so many comic book hero stories before it... but Kick Ass

has no powers besides basically being an quirky, well-intentioned nerd.

But eventually, he begins patrolling the streets, stopping petty criminals and saving cats from

trees.

But really, the whole cast of would-be superhero vigilantes is amazing.

Hit-girl, Big Daddy Captain Stars and Stripes.

Kickass isn't as dark as the punisher although it does have it's moments.

(clip) It's still one of the most fun and entertaining vigilante movies you can find.

China 'partially' lifts tour ban on S. Korea - Duration: 2:11.

After months of hurting South Korea's tourism sector with visible retaliatory measures to

express dissatisfaction over Seoul's defense upgrade, China is partially lifting a ban

on sale of group tour packages to the nation.

As of now, it only affects brick-and-mortar travel agencies in Beijing and Shandong.

Oh Jung-hee explains further.

China's tourism authorities decided to partially lift their ban on tours to South Korea on

Tuesday.

The decision comes over eight months after the tour ban came into effect in mid-March

this year...

reflecting Beijing's opposition to Seoul's deployment of the U.S. anti-missile battery

THAAD.

But, it's (quote) "partial."

Only tour agencies in the capital Beijing and in the eastern Shandong province... are

allowed to sell group tour packages to South Korea.

According to industry insiders,... agencies in other provinces are still not allowed to

do so... but will eventually be allowed on a gradual basis.

And several more conditions are tied to the authorities' partial ban removal.

Only offline tour agencies can sell Korea-bound tour programs,... meaning online agencies

can't.

The use of chartered planes or cruise ships is not allowed... and tour programs shouldn't

be of a low price.

Package tours can't include visits to hotels or duty free stores owned by Lotte -- Korea's

retail conglomerate that offered the land for the THAAD battery.

When asked whether group tours to South Korea are now being sold... or will be sold again

soon,... a few major tour agencies located in Beijing refused to give a clear answer.

A local branch of a Korean tour agency vaguely said... they have tour programs to South Korea

and the local atmosphere has loosened up a little quite recently.

The news comes a month after South Korea and China agreed to end their dispute over THAAD...

and move on.

South Korea's foreign affairs ministry said... it expects Seoul and Beijing to fully recover

bilateral human exchanges... and expand interaction in other areas as well.

Regarding the ban still in place for Lotte,... the ministry said it would look into the matter...

and take the necessary measures.

S. Korea's intel agency says North's latest missile most advanced ICBM tested - Duration: 1:47.

It appears North Korea has made significant progress in its missile development.

South Korea's intelligence agency briefed the National Assembly this morning,... saying

this morning's missile was an upgraded version of the Hwasong-14.

And it added that there could be more provocations to come.

Kim Min-ji reports.

South Korea's intelligence agency says North Korea's latest missile is the most advanced

ICBM that it has tested so far.

At a parliamentary briefing on Wednesday,... the National Intelligence Service was quoted

as saying that it was an upgrade from the ICBMs the North has launched previously -- flying

higher and faster.

"The NIS said the distance flown was about 960 kilometers with an apogee of around 4,500

kilometers.

Given the high altitude and speed,... it appears to be an improvement on the Hwasong-14."

The spy agency's analysis is in line with Pyongyang's own statement which it made hours

after the test,... claiming a successful launch of the Hwasong-15.

The NIS said there were several likely reasons for the latest provocation -- to show that

the North can hit the U.S.,... to protest the sanctions against it,... and to solidify

internal unity.

It also said the test was foreseen given that Pyongyang was recently relisted by the U.S.

as a state sponsor of terrorism,... and that the regime has historically launched a provocation...

70 percent of the time when it has warned of a response.

(Stup) The spy agency added it cannot rule out the

possibility of another nuclear test either -- noting that North Korea's nuclear and missile

capabilities are progressing.

It said tensions could get higher,... should Pyongyang's provocations continue amid stronger

pressure from the international community.

BREAKING NEWS Out Of KENTUCKY… We Need To Spread This QUICKLY! - Duration: 3:46.

BREAKING NEWS Out Of KENTUCKY� We Need To Spread This QUICKLY!

Many a politician has made the claim that civil asset forfeiture was originally intended

as a way to cripple organized crime through the seizure of property used in a criminal

enterprise.

What it has actually become is a tool for unscrupulous law enforcement officials.

Wherein they act without due process, in an effort to profit and enrich themselves by

destroying the livelihood of innocent individuals, many of whom never recover the lawful assets

taken from them.

Take the case of Gerardo Serano.

Serano is an American citizen from Kentucky, a farmer, and a one-time GOP Kentucky statehouse

candidate.

He was the proud owner of a brand new $60,000 Ford F-250 pick-up truck and was driving it

when he went to visit his relatives in Mexico.

He did the usual things one does on a trip snapping pictures on the way with his cell

phone so it seemed rather ludicrous to him when Customs and Border Patrol agents halted

him at the border, demanded his cell phone, and asked him why he was taking pictures.

Serano stated �

�I just wanted the opening of the bridge.

I was gonna take the opening of the bridge, the entrance of the bridge.

That�s all I wanted to do.� Serano states I know my rights and therefore

protested vehemently when Customs and Border Patrol agents when they asked him to unlock

his phone.

They then demanded to search his truck to which he told them they would need a warrant.

Customs and Border Patrol agents then proceeded to search his vehicle anyway claiming the

price of the vehicle itself and the fact that he was taking pictures as some sort of �probable

cause.�

As a result, they found a 5 round magazine filled with 5 bullets which as a Kentucky

concealed carry permit holder, Serano was well within his rights to have.

He did not even have his firearm in his possession since he was on his way to Mexico, just the

loaded magazine.

That, however, was enough.

He was detained, but never arrested, nor charged, nor tried, nor convicted.

However, agents did seize his prized new truck.

It has been two years since the truck�s seizure, they have yet to give it back claiming

it was used to �transport munitions of war.�

The Civil Asset Forfeiture program has its roots in English law that American colonists

rebelled against.

Their rebellion was ultimately codified within the Fourth Amendment which states �

�The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects,

against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall

issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing

the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.�

Despite that unambiguous language, civil asset forfeiture was revived in the 1930s Prohibition

era against bootleggers and mobsters.

It was revived again in the 1980s war on drugs under the Reagan administration and continues

to this day.

Many believe this practice is highly unconstitutional.

Kentucky Senator Rand Paul is one of those people �

�There are instances of people, young people, getting some money and saying, �I�m moving

to California from Boston.� They�re stopping in some small town in Nevada, and they have

a thousand bucks their dad gave them to get started and the police just take it and say:

�You prove to us that this isn�t drug money.��
