Liverpool open talks with 2 clubs over January exit for Lazar Markovic ● News Now - transfer ● #LFC - Duration: 2:16.
Markovic has dropped way down the pecking order since his £20 million move to Merseyside
from Benfica, and is yet to feature in a competitive game under Jurgen Klopp.
Despite the Reds' attacking options dwindling with Daniel Sturridge's loan move to West
Brom on Monday, this is not set to change.
The 23-year-old has already attracted interest from Russian Premier League outfits Spartak
Moscow and Lokomotiv Moscow, and now two other sides have entered the race.
According to BBC Sport, Liverpool have begun negotiations with Swansea and Wolfsburg over
a deal for Markovic.
This could be either a permanent or temporary switch for the winger, though it is likely
the Reds would prefer the former given Markovic's lack of prospects at Anfield.
Markovic has 17 months left on his current contract, and capitalising on any residual
value would be a wise decision this month.
Last summer, Liverpool were reported to have placed a £20 million price tag on the ex-Fenerbahce,
Sporting CP and Hull City loanee, though this will have now dropped significantly.
Markovic's success in the second half of the season with Hull last time out, despite
their failure to avoid relegation, may be fuelling Swansea's interest.
Though they sealed a valiant 1-0 victory over Liverpool at the Liberty Stadium eight days
ago, Carlos Carvalhal's side still remain rooted to the bottom of the Premier League
table.
Addressing his desire to add more bodies to his squad in a bid to avoid relegation, the
Portuguese acknowledged the need for committed players.
While it may be a back-handed compliment given Carvalhal's reference to "good players,"
Markovic's 14-game spell with Hull could suggest a move to south Wales would be ideal
for all parties.

Reality TV That Lied Straight To Your Face - Duration: 6:26.
Most reality TV doesn't really concern itself with, well, "reality."
And why should it?
Reality is boring.
Get up, brush your teeth, and try not to be crushed by the boredom of everyday life.
But sometimes producers need to throw a curveball at our favorite reality personalities to keep
things interesting.
Here are just a few lies that reality TV has made us swallow.
The Discovery Channel series Alaskan Bush
People makes a big deal about how the Brown family was "born wild" and love nothing more
than surviving on their own in the Alaskan wilderness.
But a bit of digging proved the "Wolf Pack" doesn't exactly abide by the pioneer spirit.
"I'm keeping it wild and free!"
An interview with a woman named Heather Baygas, a former girlfriend of Alaskan Bush People
star Matt Brown, revealed that Brown lived in a "white house" when they met, and, as
far as she knew, he spent his childhood in the tiny town of Haines, Alaska.
She admitted to being puzzled by the family members' reality TV claims about their life
because they allegedly didn't match up with what she knew about her ex and his family
before they were famous.
Early YouTube videos that the family posted pre-fame seem to agree.
The primary lie of The Biggest Loser is that
the rapid weight loss featured on the show is realistic and healthy when, in fact, it's
not only unsustainable in the long-term, but can be potentially dangerous.
That's not all though; over the course of 17 years, the show has been full of lies.
For starters, there's the accusation made by contestant Joelle Gwynn, who told the New
York Post that her trainer allegedly furnished her with pills — which an anonymous source
later claimed were Adderall and ephedra pills, which is a federally banned weight loss supplement.
Then there are the claims made by contestant Kai Hibbard, who accused the show of bugging
people's computers, borderline physical and psychological torture from trainers, and even
faking the time between weigh-ins and using phony scales.
"I'm gonna get plenty of hate mail for this so make sure you spell check Fame Whore is
with a 'w'."
There's no doubt that "Turtleman" Ernie Brown
Jr. has spent his life as a self-taught pest control operator, and his crooked grin, country
charm, and signature call make for great television.
Unfortunately, the producers of his hit show, Call of the Wildman, allegedly took things
too far.
According to a Mother Jones investigation, there were several occasions when animals
were allegedly hurt or killed because of inappropriately staged situations.
One episode portrayed Brown wrestling a "stray zebra" to the ground, except the zebra had
been sedated beforehand and was on loan to the show by a drive-thru safari park.
And those baby raccoons that Turtleman supposedly rescued?
Due to neglect, only two survived.
"To me..
We lost one and that was tragic.
That we saved two was a miracle."
Further investigation revealed that Brown had lost his Nuisance Wildlife Control Officer
license, which was required in Kentucky, where much of the show was filmed.
Given the number of animals that were hurt or killed during staged rescues, it's probably
for the best that Turtleman's only new videos now are of him playing with fidget spinners
and eating candy.
The premise of Last Comic Standing is simple:
20 comedians compete to see who's the funniest.
During Season 2, this pool was judged by a panel of celebrity comics, including Drew
Carey, Brett Butler, and Anthony Clark, who all reportedly became infuriated after producers
essentially overrode their judgments to create the "best reality show cast."
Speaking with The Los Angeles Times, Carey said,
"They're presenting this to the public as if it's a contest, but it's not."
He also alleged that he and his fellow judges were led to believe they would determine who
got to advance to the finals, but the producers made their own choices anyhow, adding that
Clark ripped off his mic in disgust when the results were announced.
In the end, the only evidence really needed to prove the show was completely contrived
was Dat Phan's Season 1 win.
"POTATOES!"
Although Iron Chef America presents itself as one of the most dramatic cooking competitions
on television, it turns out, like most reality TV, a lot of it is for show.
"HAMBURGER!"
When food critic Robert Sietsema attended a taping of the show, he left hungry for the
kind of intense competition portrayed on TV.
What he experienced, according to Gothamist, was a mundane couple of hours during which
the Iron Chefs and their competitors cooked "well-tested recipes" because they allegedly
knew about the secret ingredient in advance.
Ingredients like…
"HAM!"
"SAUSAGE!"
"FROZEN PEAS!"
As for the judgment rounds, it reportedly takes up to two hours to film, so the judges
aren't even eating what was cooked during the televised cooking segment.
Supposedly, sous chefs re-create the dishes that the judges are filmed eating.
Sounds like the secret ingredient for every episode of Iron Chef America is baloney!
Anyone who's watched enough episodes of Catfish
already knows that the internet is filled with creepy liars and desperately lonely,
lovelorn saps.
But are they all real?
Executive producer Marshall Eisen shared insider knowledge on how a catfish encounter is crafted
in a 2014 interview with Vulture.
Before hosts Nev and Max begin their investigation, producers already know exactly how it'll end,
since they've already secretly collaborated with both the catfish and their prey to ensure
they can get a full episode out of the pursuit.
The trick is, producers don't tell Nev and Max anything, meaning the show is basically
a TV version of an escape room.
This revelation means the show is less about the participants, and more about how good
the hosts are at creeping on Facebook pages.
The relationships?
All real.
"How'd you like my d--- pic?
"That was uh...interesting."
The process?
Not so much.

Gandalf vs Saruman | The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) Movie Clip 12 - Duration: 4:47.
Smoke rises from the Mountain of Doom.
The hour grows late.
And Gandalf the Grey rides to Isengard...
...seeking my counsel.
For that is why you have come, is it not?
My old friend.
Saruman.
- You are sure of this? - Beyond any doubt.
So the ring of power has been found.
All these long years, it was in the Shire.
- Under my very nose. - Yet you did not have the wit to see it.
Your love of the halfling's leaf has clearly slowed your mind.
But we still have time. Time enough to counter Sauron if we act quickly.
Time?
What time do you think we have?
Sauron has regained much of his former strength.
He cannot yet take physical form...
...but his spirit has lost none of its potency.
Concealed within his fortress, the Lord of Mordor sees all.
His gaze pierces cloud, shadow, earth and flesh.
You know of what I speak, Gandalf.
A great eye, lidless, wreathed in flame.
The eye of Sauron.
He is gathering all evil to him.
Very soon, he'll have summoned an army...
...great enough for an assault upon Middle-earth.
You know this?
How?
I have seen it.
A palantir is a dangerous tool, Saruman.
Why?
Why should we fear to use it?
They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing-stones.
We do not know who else may be watching.
The hour is later than you think.
Sauron's forces are already moving.
The Nine have left Minas Morgul.
The Nine?
They crossed the river Isen on Midsummer's Eve...
...disguised as riders in black.
- They've reached the Shire? - They will find the ring.
And kill the one who carries it.
Frodo!
You did not seriously think that a hobbit could contend with the will of Sauron?
There are none who can.
Against the power of Mordor...
...there can be no victory.
We must join with him, Gandalf.
We must join with Sauron.
It would be wise, my friend.
Tell me... ...friend...
...when did Saruman the Wise abandon reason for madness?
I gave you the chance of...
...aiding me willingly...
...but you have elected the way of pain!

Are the Descriptions of the Plates Believable? Knowhy #403 - Duration: 2:11.
Some may wonder if there is any evidence to verify the reality and antiquity
of the golden plates that Joseph Smith claimed he found on a hill near his farm.
Based on the descriptions left by numerous witnesses,
there are a plenty of reasons to believe the plates were both real and ancient.
Although ancient metal records were largely unknown in Joseph Smith's day,
literally thousands of metal documents, including those made of gold and gold-alloys,
have now been discovered throughout the world.
According to witnesses,
the plates of the Book of Mormon contained both a sealed and an unsealed portion.
This unusual detail is remarkably consistent with a variety of doubled, sealed,
and witnessed documents from antiquity.
Several individuals independently reported that the plates were bound together by three
D-shaped rings.
It's notable that an Etruscan book, dating from the time when Lehi left Jerusalem,
was also made from gold plates bound by D-shaped rings.
Based on the witnesses' descriptions of the weight, dimensions, and appearance of the plates,
metallurgists have suggested that they were likely made of a gold and copper alloy called Tumbaga,
which was well-known in ancient America.
Furthermore, several studies have shown that it is entirely plausible
that the surface area provided by the plates was large enough to fit the entire text of the Book of Mormon.
Finally, several witnesses remarked upon the engravings on the plates,
which the Book of Mormon calls "reformed Egyptian."
It is now known that before and during Lehi's day,
ancient Israelites implemented Egyptian characters in their scribal tradition.
Although it may be surprising to some,
ongoing research has only increased the plausibility of the numerous accounts of the plates.
The story of their discovery is supported by a large number of similar archeological finds.
And each reported detail,
no matter how unusual or unlikely from a 19th century perspective,
has checked out in light of 20th and 21st century research.
And now you know why.

CEERES of Voices Interview with Laura Engelstein: Russia In Flames - Duration: 20:44.
Later today we will be discussing your recent book, Russia In Flames.
So, can you just begin by telling our viewers a little bit about the book, about its arguments
and about what you wanted to do by writing it?
Well, the book has an interesting origin, which was that I hadn't planned to write this
book.
It was an assignment.
I had a relationship with an interesting editor at Oxford University Press, and it was about
2011, something like that, and he said, "you know, the anniversary of 1917 is coming up,
you've been in the field of Russian history for your whole career, had you ever thought
of writing a history of 1917?" And I said, you know, I've always written books on very
idiosyncratic, odd, subjects that interested me, but I've never taken on a sort of - well,
it's not true.
My first book was on a revolution, the revolution of 1905, but 1917 is the big event in modern
Russian history, and I had never gotten that near it.
So I thought, and he said he had a series called Pivotal Moments in World History, and
of course, this is obviously one, and I thought, what an interesting idea.
I'll do it.
So, typically I wrote a book that I wanted to write, and it was published, which it was,
and that was well and good, and this time, it was a book, a sort of set piece.
So I started writing it, and I discovered that, of course, hundreds of books have been
written on this subject.
The difference is that since 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, archives were opened,
historians in Russia, in the successor states, started to go and discover new material to
write, publish, to think in new ways about the old subjects, so that the whole framework
of 1917 which was somewhat off putting before, very ideological, very pro and contra, had
shifted.
And what I discovered in writing was that that was very exciting.
So almost as exciting as the challenge of putting everything together was this new view,
this opportunity to think again about a subject that had been thought about many, many times.
A sort of de-ideological perspective on it.
And so that became very exciting.
And the other thing that happened was that in the field of Russian history overall a
lot more attention had been paid to the scope of empire.
We all know it was an empire before 1917, and of course the word was there, but the
idea of how the dynamic of imperial rule was essential to the nature of pre-1917 imperial
Russia, and of course this was somewhat stimulated also by the fall of communism when the thing,
the Soviet Union broke apart in national terms.
So almost without planning it, without a program in mind, I found myself thinking in order
to tell this story in the year 2017, you have to really take on the big picture.
That was a fatal decision.
It meant that the story was enormous, and very complicated.
But also, very fascinating.
So this is how the nature, the origin and the nature of the project evolved.
Right.
It is a huge story, and it's a huge book to match the huge story.
So can you talk to us a little bit about the process of researching and writing this?
How did, where did you begin, how did you begin?
And then how did it unfold from there?
Well, the other thing that, and the name of this editor by the way is Timothy Bent at
Oxford University Press in New York, and he said, this book is gonna be a book for the
general educated reader.
So it's not just a book for the field, for your colleagues, it can't be just engaging
in methodological arguments and so on.
It has to inform this general reader.
It had to have a story, it had to have a narrative.
And so, aside from the imperial idea, it also had to tell the political story.
Now I was known in the field for cultural history, and other kinds of approaches.
So I started with the story.
What happened?
Of course I had already been working a lot on the history of the first world war, which
also had a centenary in 2014, and I thought to myself, having written on 1905, that there
was a time period that had to be covered as well as a geographical period.
So 1905 as background, the first revolution, World War I as the, really the instigation
of the collapse of the old regime, and the dynamics of that leading into the year 1917,
the revolution itself in that sense, the political events, and then the civil war, which lasted
until 1921.
You could argue you should take the story further, bit I thought that was a nice beginning
and an end.
So I had to say to myself, what does this reader need to know?
So a historian might say: too much attention to Lenin.
But, excuse me, you can't tell the story of 1917 without a lot of attention to Lenin.
You might not conclude that he was the reason for everything, but he had to be there.
You had to introduce him in a way that wasn't condescending to this educated reader, but
that provided enough information.
And in my mind, a book, even if it's in narrative form, has to have an argument.
So the challenge was to embed the argument, whatever it turned out to be, in the story
itself.
And that was my aspiration.
I don't know whether I succeeded, but that was how the project unfolded.
So this project took you away both from the previous themes you had worked on, and as
you said from maybe the previous audiences you had written for.
It's a book for the public as well as for an academic audience.
Did that change your writing process at all, the way you went about it technically or imaginatively?
Yes.
So my first book was on the revolution of 1905, and that was a social history.
So it was very much an analysis of social movements.
And there's some of that in this book, actually, as well.
And my other work was more or less essayistic or analytic also, but in terms of late nineteenth
century culture, or I wrote on religion, on the history of law and medicine, so they were
problem oriented, most of them.
And this one, but then I had to pay a lot of attention to how to construct a narrative.
Now, the trick with this book is, until the end of 1917, it's more or less one narrative
thread, because you have a government, you have a state in turmoil, in trouble, but still
there's a center.
After the Bolshevik coup in October 1917, there's more than one center.
You have many narratives.
And the trick, which I'm not certain at all that I solved the challenge, is to at the
same time show the different strands that emerge, the nationalist breakaway movements,
the regional stories, the story of Siberia, of the simultaneous and intersecting conflicts
of the civil war, have them be comprehensible on their own terms, and somehow manage to
show how they intersect without driving the reader crazy.
Also, it had to be vivid.
It had to have personality, had to have some sense of the texture.
So, some, a few readers have already complained: why are there so many people in this book?
I tried to make the stories of people not merely decorative, but actually exemplary,
so a certain type of person, or a certain type of background.
And sometimes, for example, in discussing the peasant movements there was one very outstanding
leader who, and by telling his story, you can really sort of bring it to life.
So I tried to be coherent as a narrative, to be enticing, so to speak, in terms of characters,
personalities, and events.
These are very, a lot of very dramatic events.
So that was a different kind of challenge, yes, definitely.
This is a broader question, maybe about the writing process, perhaps aimed at our graduate
student audience who sometimes wonder: where to begin writing? How to write, how do historians
write?
So can you walk us through what an average day looks like, in writing Russian In Flames?
How do you deal with writer's block, the frustrations that come with dealing with such a big topic?
Well, one thing I would, yes, one thing I want to say about this book which is also
different from what I have done before is, this book is built 95% on secondary literature,
or documentary material that was prepared by other people.
There's very little, there's some primary research in the sense that I myself went to
the archives and looked at the material, let's say, on the pogroms of 1920 at YIVO, which
I did.
But mostly, at that level of a narrative, you can't afford to go in yourself at every
moment, even if you wanted to.
And also, since 1991, all this new material is there.
So my research process did not include in this case sitting in an archive and taking
notes and assimilating and organizing it.
It involved finding among secondary works ones that had the kind of information and
the interesting sort of inspiring arguments that got me thinking about how to think about
something.
So if you read the book, you'll notice that many chapters say "this chapter owes a lot
to so and so" because I really wanted to give credit.
Sometimes I felt I gotta be sure that I'm really using it in my own way, but there's
a lot of work that went into this book not done by me.
Process?
Get up in the morning, get to the computer, and sit there.
And Regenstein Library was absolutely key, this is a fabulous library.
I have the experience of the library at Yale which is wonderful, but Regenstein is absolutely
superb in our field.
Modern European history, this whole, the latest thing, rare publications that you wouldn't
imagine being on the shelf, and then an enormous resource was the HathiTrust, I don't know
how to pronounce it, where digitized material.
So, to a greater extent than any other book, I could sit in my room.
And the question was, again, it's the same process.
Reading, assimilating, choosing what's important, and rewriting it about a hundred times.
I think it's a really valuable point as access in Russia can become more difficult and restrictive
for some topics, to make the point that you can do all of this without working extensively
in archive.
Can you say a little bit more about other places that you've done research in Russian
history? Are there other archival repositories or other libraries that are particularly near
and dear to your heart, other than Regenstein?
Well, I would say that the library most dear or dearest to my heart other than Regenstein
is the Slavonic Library in Helsinki, where I have spent many, many, many months over
many, many years, actually I think I first went there in 1971, and it is a fabulous library
in the whole environment and the personnel are wonderful.
I did some of the work on the war there, and many illustrations come from Helsinki, they
have a fabulous collection of World War I postcards, some of which are used as illustrations
in the book.
And YIVO was also very interesting for the purposes of civil war and the telling the
Jewish story and the pogrom story and partly the Ukrainian story.
And another challenge of this book actually is that, linguistic.
So when you get into empire, Russian, German, and French were the three basic working languages
of the field, and over the past decade I've acquired Polish, so Polish OK, Ukraine, oh
dear, Ukraine is a big part of the story, and I can fake it to a certain extent, but
actually...
However, it was very interesting that some of the new writing on Ukraine, some of it's
in English, some Ukrainian historians have written in Russian in order to speak across
the divide still, so I was able to some extent to access that, and to a very interesting
dialogue with some of the Ukrainian scholars in North America.
But when it comes to, you know, the Caucasus or Finland or the Baltic states, you have
to recognize your own limitations.
Yeah, it's a daunting problem.
Another really unusual and I think remarkable thing about the book is the number of memoirs
that you yourself worked through, of the very vivid memoirs we have of this period, and
you've done a lot to assimilate them.
I guess that makes me wonder about the relationship between your voice and the voice of your authors.
Obviously as you read these memoirs you're of course shaped by their views, but you are
of course forming your own views as you read them.
So can you speak a bit about that relationship, and in particular with regard to these first
person sources?
Well, I, of course one is so happy to find a memoir of any given moment, because it does
give you a kind of depth and of perspective and vividness you otherwise don't have.
I was interested in memoirs of political actors, and of course you realize you have sympathy
for some and not for others.
But I was looking for memoirs that illuminated a particular moment.
Some characters I knew already, at least a couple of these characters are carryovers,
characters, actors, historical personages, carryovers from my original work.
V.D.
Nabokov, the father of the novelist, Maxim Vinaver, the prominent Polish, Russian, Jewish
activist of the liberal party.
And back to your point about archives, I just want to say that some of the works I drew
on, I talked a lot about new work, but some of the classics in our field, and you might
want to know really good books on Russian revolution from the pre-1991 days.
For example, William Rosenberg's book on the Liberals.
It is filled with archival material, none of it in Russian, it was published in, I can't
remember, the 1970s or something like that.
And it stands up to this day.
So he went from the Hoover to the Bakhmeteff to Columbia.
There is lots of material in North America and the United States.
In fact some Russian scholars have come to America to mine, publish, edit material, some
of these important Kadet materials that ended up in the United States, and publishing them
in Russian for Russian readers.
So I would say Tsuyoshi Hasegawa's book on the February revolution stands up, it's fantastic
- even though he's changed his mind a little bit, given the more recent publications.
Some of that work was done in the Soviet Union but not in archives.
So yes, archival, I would say I don't want to say that it's a fetish to want archives,
because many of the documents I rely on came from the archives, only I wasn't the one who
found them.
So there is a lot of primary material in this book.
And there's been a huge resurgence of interest, as we would expect, in 2017 about 1917, at
this centenary moment.
And your book has also I think been in dialogue with a number of other books that have come
out at the moment.
So perhaps we can close by reflecting on what you think we've learned new about 1917 in
2017 with this new resurgence of literature, and these new discussions about the revolution.
Well, I would say I have an actual dialogue, conversation, there are a couple of books
that came out almost simultaneously on the revolution itself.
Though I must say in celebration of the centenary of 1917, it's been interpreted broadly as
a year to think about the Soviet Union.
So some of the major publications have not been about the revolution, they've been about
Soviet society and Soviet history, which is perfectly legitimate.
The two books closest to my own, the first one was by Steve Smith, S.A. Smith, also at
Oxford, and he wrote a history from 1905 through 28 I think, and he's a colleague with whom
I've been in dialogue for years and years, and he has a more sympathetic view of the
socialist project than I ended up certainly having after having gone through this material
- he's not uncritical.
He also takes this more economic social history approach to the story.
It's also shorter, I wish mine were shorter.
You know the famous saying, if I had more time I would have written less, that is definitely
true, but we have had very interesting conversations about where to put the emphasis, and how to
evaluate things and how to think about it.
Another book that came out very recently by Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, who was the author of the
big book on the February revolution, oh I also want to add Alexander Rabinowitch's books
on Bolshevik politics and 1917 from the political - I don't always agree with his conclusions
but he's a meticulous historian, and those books are incredibly valuable if you want
to know, tell me, what happened on what day, and who was doing what?
He was very careful, and they are still after all these years - he is an archival historian.
So Tsuyoshi Hasegawa just recently published a book on crime in Petrograd during the revolution,
and this is not only interesting in itself, but it's part of a tendency in the current
literature on our side and over there to reject the political story in favor of a view of
chaos and violence.
This is a trend also in thinking about the first world war, this sense that it's a sort
of a kind of anthropological wave of violence that overwhelms, as part of the falling apart
of society which opens the door to, perhaps, authoritarian solutions, and so on.
And Tsuyoshi, who's a very smart historian said we have to spend more time thinking about
not political violence but violence per se.
And my argument with him is I think that it's not, it's very hard some times to see where
politics begins and ends.
And some of this mass violence is chaotic, extremely brutal and violent, and one has
to put that into the story.
It's not some beautiful airbrushed proletariat.
On the other hand, a lot of these mass movements were structured, organized, had purposes,
had a sort of not an ideology, but had more of a coherence and purposefulness than the
notion of mere violence would suggest.
I think partly in Russia and even in the west there's a reaction against the very old Soviet
narrative that it was a nicely organized political movement, of conscious proletarians...
I'm oversimplifying, but basically this was the idea.
So Russian historians and the reaction against that like to say, well, no no no, it was more
a collapse, more a crisis, and I think you have to integrate, you can't give up on the
political story.
Well, thank you so much for taking the time to have this conversation.
Thank you for your questions!

The Most Extreme Life Forms On Earth… And Beyond? - Duration: 5:48.
[PBS Bumper]
On April 15th, 1912, an "Unsinkable ship" named the Titanic hit an iceberg and came
to rest nearly 4 kilometers beneath the surface.
Light?
None.
The temperature?
Two degrees Celsius.
Pressures?
5000 pounds per square inch.
But more than 100 years later, this watery graveyard is somehow teeming with life.
Those strange icicle shapes covering the Titanic are full of microscopic organisms that thrive
in one of Earth's most inhospitable environments.
They can literally *eat metal* and someday soon, they'll leave nothing but a rusty
pile of powder where the ship once was.
These deep-sea microbes are extremophiles, one of countless organisms living hidden in
Earth's most extreme habitats, adapted to conditions where, until recently, we figured
life couldn't exist.
Extremophiles have changed how we view life's possibilities on Earth.
They hold clues to how life may have taken hold on this planet, and also give us hints
about life's possibilities deep in space.
Off the Galapagos islands, 2 kilometers underwater, Earth's mantle and the ocean directly meet,
creating strange, smoking vents with temperatures above 100˚C… yet home to ecosystems as
rich as any rainforest.
At the base of this deep-sea food chain is a weird kind of single-celled life.
Archaea.
When it was discovered by Carl Woese, it completely redrew the tree of life.
They look a lot like bacteria–prokaryotes–but Archaea have unique internal machinery.
And in Earth's most extreme habitats, we find them more often than any other life form.
Organisms adapted to high temperatures, can grow above 120˚C, hot enough to disintegrate
most cells' machinery.
The microbes at these deep sea vents have unique adaptations like specially wound DNA,
and putting extra bonds in their proteins to keep everything from melting.
And it's not just single-celled life.
Larger organisms like tube worms and hairy crabs thrive in these super-hot ecosystems
too.
This is a place completely devoid of light, where energy must instead be harvested from
hydrogen and sulfur gases bubbling from the tectonic vents.
Not unlike conditions we expect to find on Jupiter's moon Europa, where the geologically
active interior creates pitch black oceans of liquid water beneath its icy surface.
When it comes to pressure, we don't know what life's limits might be.
The deepest places probed on Earth, like the Mariana trench, are home to microbial life
able to withstand pressures more than a thousand times higher than we feel at Earth's surface.
And when scientists exposed other microbes to *low* atmospheric pressures like those
on, say, Mars, many were like "no problem, this is fine".
But there ARE a couple things it seems life can't do without.
The universal needs for life are good ol' carbon and water.
Life is basically organized chemistry.
Inside every cell on Earth, the making and breaking of bonds, building cellular machinery,
copying DNA, even the membranes that keep a cell from spilling its guts… all depend
on liquid H2O.
But salty environments, frozen environments, or low-pressure atmospheres lack usable H2O,
they're essentially as dry as deserts.
Yet, in places like super-dry Antarctica, and deep in hidden caves, we find microbes,
tucked away *inside* rocks and crystals, where they've carved out tiny water-filled pockets–little
microscopic oases in deserts made of stone and salt.
In places like Chile's Atacama desert, one of the driest places on Earth, microbes pluck
water molecules right from the air, and make their own liquid shells.
On a planet like Venus, where it's just too darn hot for water to remain liquid at
the surface--microbial life could be suspended in tiny droplets of water in the upper atmosphere.
One of the biggest risks to life anywhere is dangerous radiation: UV, gamma rays, and
X-rays, which can damage cells and mutate DNA.
We don't worry about it much here because our magnetic field protects us, but elsewhere
life would either be forced to shield itself underground or else figure out how to put
up with a daily dose of mutation.
Microbes seem to have this figured out too.
In places like Chernobyl, we've found bacteria that can withstand huge doses of radiation.
Even cockroaches can handle at least 100 times more ionizing radiation than humans can, although
this is surprising to no one.
If these extremes seem harsh, it's probably because animals like us have a very narrow
window of survival.
Life has existed on Earth for more than 3 billion years, and it's flip-flopped from
super scorching to super snowball many times.
Our extremes may have been normal to Earth's earliest inhabitants.
Even our oxygen-rich atmosphere would be considered extreme to some life forms.
There's a good chance the first lifeforms were similar to what Woese discovered at those
boiling black smokers beneath the Galapagos.
Understanding how life survives our extremes broadens our horizons for where we think life
can exist--and tells us where to look beyond Earth.
So far, we've only found life in one place, but if the odds of sharing this galaxy with
another living planet ever seem too extreme, just remember that life, uh, finds a way.
Stay curious.

Gluten Free Lactose Free Fructose Free Rice Pudding - #CocinaConFlandy - Duration: 3:41.
Hello everybody! I am Andy and today I bring you a recipe for a dessert
fructose free, lactose free and gluten free
rice pudding
The first thing we have to do is wash our rice well
for cleaning all the impurities
that it may have
At this time
I choose a milk that is lactose free, half-skimmed
and gluten free
We are going to put the milk in a pot
and we are going to heat it up
Generally, the people
that can't eat fructose, can use some flavorings
like lemon peel or cinnamon
I don't like cinnamon, so i'm going
to use lemon peel, and it works pretty well
To get this dessert sweet
You can use sucralose like i'm doing
or you can use stevia
This is obviously at taste
if you like your dessert sweeter you can add more sucralose
if you like it less sweet you can add less sucralose
When them milk is about to boil
We are going to add the rice that we washed previously
And to avoid the heat directly to our pot
We are going to cook this on the roaster
Like the rice we eat with salt
When it has passed 10 minutes
You are going to see it this way
it isn't cooked so we have to wait and stir continuously
At 20 minutes, it's going to be thickened up
but we have to keep cooking it
At 30 minutes
It is thicker
At 40 minutes, it's cooked
if you like it thicker, you can wait till 45 or 50 minutes
But i liked the consistency at 40 minutes, so i took it away from the heat
Once you take it off the heat
We are going to put it in a bowl
or in individual bowls
so we can take it to the fridge to cool down
and when it's cold you can eat it (you can eat it warm too is up to you)
I hope you like this recipe
So we can incorporate to our channel
people that are fructose intolerant and lactose intolerant
and obviously to the people that can't
eat gluten, i remember you all the time :)!
and so you can have a choice of a nice dessert to eat some times :)!
Have a great day :D!

Episode 5 Gather and Glean: Publicity Mistakes - Duration: 8:38.
Background music playing
Welcome to the fifth episode of Gather and Glean, where women's ministry leaders
gather and glean tips to help them better serve the women in their church and in their community.
Today we're going to be talking about publicity mistakes
and I'm going to be sharing the top three publicity mistakes I see
ministries makes - many of which I'm guilty myself!
We're also going to take an in-depth look at a Valentine icebreaker game.
We're going to review a great tool that will help you with your graphics and publicity.
I'm going to share with you the one thing you should always do when you're publicizing an event.
And then I've got a little bit of show-and-tell.
Today's icebreaker game is all about Valentine's Day!
Real quick, if you hop on over to the website you'll see.
Hover over the ice breakers, slide down to Valentine's and we're gonna scroll just a little bit.
Today we're gonna focus on the Heart to Heart icebreaker game.
Have you ever made one of those connections with somebody that you meet?
You know, a heart to heart connection, where you instantly bond over trivial stuff.
Well that's what this game is going to try and provide for your women.
It's gonna help bring out those connections that they have - those shared experiences - those shared likes.
Perfect for a group of eight or more, it only takes about 15 minutes to play.
You'll see where that red is, you just click on that and what pops open is the free PDF.
All you need to do is print this sheet off and you'll be ready to go!
So you're going to give your ladies directions
to connect and collect one signature per line from those in the room who can say:
That they have watched the movie Sleepless in Seattle.
Decorate their home for Valentine's Day. Can recite John 3:16.
Traveled outside of the country for their honeymoon - and more.
Quick, fun, ready-to-go icebreaker game that your ladies will absolutely love!
Today I'm focusing in on three publicity mistakes that I see teams make all the time.
I admit, we've made them ourselves many, many times!
So the first mistake is not putting all the crucial details on there.
Missing info is so important! Think about your target woman - the one who's never been there before
and is not going to know where to go or what the routine is.
So even if it's an event that you hold monthly or weekly, make sure you've got those critical
when, where, ,why, what, how questions answered in your piece of publicity.
The second publicity mistake is not sending out the publicity early enough.
I recommend that you send your publicity out at least three weeks in advance for smaller events.
And big events, like a retreat or something, you're going to want to send those - especially depending on the cost - out months in advance.
And that partners with our third publicity mistake -
not sending those pieces of publicity out often enough.
You want to send them out on a regular basis. Your women are going to need to see those
publicity pieces repeatedly - over and over and over again - before they remember,
"Oh yeah, we've got operation sandwich coming up this Friday."
We all need reminders. Don't be afraid of over-publicizing an event. It's almost impossible to do that.
There are lots of other publicity mistakes that we could discuss and
I'm going to link to some posts that are going to help make sure you don't miss a
single detail of the publicity that you're sending out for your next event.
In today's question and answer session we're going to talk about -
what's the best way to publicize an event? The one publicity method that I recommend you
always use - every single time with every single event - is email.
Your women are used to getting informational emails. Whether it's from you, the catalogs they
subscribe to, or any other organization. Make sure you give great details in the emails that you send out.
Yes, make sure you also include it in the bulletin, on the website, save-the-date cards, at Bible study, and in Bible study announcements.
Hit all those other areas, but always always make sure you send an email out.
It's going to give your women all the information they need right at
their fingertips, especially if they carry it on their phones.
They're going to be able to go back and refer to it. With a lot of the other publicity methods we use
they're not going to have instant access to it and they're not going to be able to refer to them easily.
My recommendation this week is publicity-related.
One of my favorite tools for creating publicity is PicMonkey.
I will tell you it used to be free, but it's not anymore.
There's a small monthly fee. I believe right now it's $5.99 per month if you purchase it annually.
But I feel like it's totally worth it. Maybe, perhaps, even your women's ministry budget can cover that cost.
So I'm going to take you inside my account just so you get a glimpse of how this all works.
Let me take you inside. Here we go!
So I'm going to actually go inside the hub which saves things online on the PicMonkey - site up in the cloud.
You can see some of the different graphics and whatnot I've created.
But what I want to show you that is really cool is I can go back and edit those things that I've already created.
So when I create a new post for a new Question of the Day on Facebook, I just go in here and I retype it.
You can edit photos, you can create graphics, you can do a lot of really really cool things.
It's not all that difficult to learn.
You could create logos, you could create graphics you, could create memes for posting to your Facebook group.
One of the things I did when we were in Kentucky
was to create this poster for our Bouquet of Tables event.
That quilted piece is a collage and you can make collages in PicMonkey.
We sent these off to Sam's and printed them as a photo. I think they were like maybe 11 by 17, or so.
They were bigger than a regular sheet of paper. They may even have been bigger than that.
Those were the signs that we hung up. Technically they were photos
that we hung all over our church advertising that event.
I just wanted to show you a good example of things that you can do and make in PicMonkey.
Everything that I post on the Women's Ministry Toolbox Facebook page,
everything I can think of, was made in PicMonkey.
So that is my recommendation for you if you are looking for a great resource for publicity.
I want to actually share a really neat publicity idea with you.
This is something that I received at the church we've just recently started going to.
I love that it's not just a plain card but there's a pencil attached to it. How cool is that?
A few Sundays ago women were standing with baskets as we exited the worship center
and handed one of these to each woman who exited.
I love publicity that catches your attention and gives you a tiny little gift.
The neat thing - when I went to the actual event - those same pencils are ones that they used in their decor
and ones that they gave us to use as we worked on writing our stories.
So think outside the box!
Consider what could you pair with an announcement for your next event.
I've done some really cute things with candy in the past.
Like we're "bursting with excitement over our women's ministry fellowship that's coming up on June 8th."
You could attach mints - "you were mint to come to the women's ministry retreat."
You'll find all kinds of ideas on Pinterest for things like that.
Get creative! It will catch your woman's attention and it will help them remember the event that's coming up.

CEERES of Voices Interview with Laura Engelstein: Russia In Flames - Duration: 20:44.
Later today we will be discussing your recent book, Russia In Flames.
So, can you just begin by telling our viewers a little bit about the book, about its arguments
and about what you wanted to do by writing it?
Well, the book has an interesting origin, which was that I hadn't planned to write this
book.
It was an assignment.
I had a relationship with an interesting editor at Oxford University Press, and it was about
2011, something like that, and he said, "you know, the anniversary of 1917 is coming up,
you've been in the field of Russian history for your whole career, had you ever thought
of writing a history of 1917?" And I said, you know, I've always written books on very
idiosyncratic, odd, subjects that interested me, but I've never taken on a sort of - well,
it's not true.
My first book was on a revolution, the revolution of 1905, but 1917 is the big event in modern
Russian history, and I had never gotten that near it.
So I thought, and he said he had a series called Pivotal Moments in World History, and
of course, this is obviously one, and I thought, what an interesting idea.
I'll do it.
So, typically I wrote a book that I wanted to write, and it was published, which it was,
and that was well and good, and this time, it was a book, a sort of set piece.
So I started writing it, and I discovered that, of course, hundreds of books have been
written on this subject.
The difference is that since 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, archives were opened,
historians in Russia, in the successor states, started to go and discover new material to
write, publish, to think in new ways about the old subjects, so that the whole framework
of 1917 which was somewhat off putting before, very ideological, very pro and contra, had
shifted.
And what I discovered in writing was that that was very exciting.
So almost as exciting as the challenge of putting everything together was this new view,
this opportunity to think again about a subject that had been thought about many, many times.
A sort of de-ideological perspective on it.
And so that became very exciting.
And the other thing that happened was that in the field of Russian history overall a
lot more attention had been paid to the scope of empire.
We all know it was an empire before 1917, and of course the word was there, but the
idea of how the dynamic of imperial rule was essential to the nature of pre-1917 imperial
Russia, and of course this was somewhat stimulated also by the fall of communism when the thing,
the Soviet Union broke apart in national terms.
So almost without planning it, without a program in mind, I found myself thinking in order
to tell this story in the year 2017, you have to really take on the big picture.
That was a fatal decision.
It meant that the story was enormous, and very complicated.
But also, very fascinating.
So this is how the nature, the origin and the nature of the project evolved.
Right.
It is a huge story, and it's a huge book to match the huge story.
So can you talk to us a little bit about the process of researching and writing this?
How did, where did you begin, how did you begin?
And then how did it unfold from there?
Well, the other thing that, and the name of this editor by the way is Timothy Bent at
Oxford University Press in New York, and he said, this book is gonna be a book for the
general educated reader.
So it's not just a book for the field, for your colleagues, it can't be just engaging
in methodological arguments and so on.
It has to inform this general reader.
It had to have a story, it had to have a narrative.
And so, aside from the imperial idea, it also had to tell the political story.
Now I was known in the field for cultural history, and other kinds of approaches.
So I started with the story.
What happened?
Of course I had already been working a lot on the history of the first world war, which
also had a centenary in 2014, and I thought to myself, having written on 1905, that there
was a time period that had to be covered as well as a geographical period.
So 1905 as background, the first revolution, World War I as the, really the instigation
of the collapse of the old regime, and the dynamics of that leading into the year 1917,
the revolution itself in that sense, the political events, and then the civil war, which lasted
until 1921.
You could argue you should take the story further, bit I thought that was a nice beginning
and an end.
So I had to say to myself, what does this reader need to know?
So a historian might say: too much attention to Lenin.
But, excuse me, you can't tell the story of 1917 without a lot of attention to Lenin.
You might not conclude that he was the reason for everything, but he had to be there.
You had to introduce him in a way that wasn't condescending to this educated reader, but
that provided enough information.
And in my mind, a book, even if it's in narrative form, has to have an argument.
So the challenge was to embed the argument, whatever it turned out to be, in the story
itself.
And that was my aspiration.
I don't know whether I succeeded, but that was how the project unfolded.
So this project took you away both from the previous themes you had worked on, and as
you said from maybe the previous audiences you had written for.
It's a book for the public as well as for an academic audience.
Did that change your writing process at all, the way you went about it technically or imaginatively?
Yes.
So my first book was on the revolution of 1905, and that was a social history.
So it was very much an analysis of social movements.
And there's some of that in this book, actually, as well.
And my other work was more or less essayistic or analytic also, but in terms of late nineteenth
century culture, or I wrote on religion, on the history of law and medicine, so they were
problem oriented, most of them.
And this one, but then I had to pay a lot of attention to how to construct a narrative.
Now, the trick with this book is, until the end of 1917, it's more or less one narrative
thread, because you have a government, you have a state in turmoil, in trouble, but still
there's a center.
After the Bolshevik coup in October 1917, there's more than one center.
You have many narratives.
And the trick, which I'm not certain at all that I solved the challenge, is to at the
same time show the different strands that emerge, the nationalist breakaway movements,
the regional stories, the story of Siberia, of the simultaneous and intersecting conflicts
of the civil war, have them be comprehensible on their own terms, and somehow manage to
show how they intersect without driving the reader crazy.
Also, it had to be vivid.
It had to have personality, had to have some sense of the texture.
So, some, a few readers have already complained: why are there so many people in this book?
I tried to make the stories of people not merely decorative, but actually exemplary,
so a certain type of person, or a certain type of background.
And sometimes, for example, in discussing the peasant movements there was one very outstanding
leader who, and by telling his story, you can really sort of bring it to life.
So I tried to be coherent as a narrative, to be enticing, so to speak, in terms of characters,
personalities, and events.
These are very, a lot of very dramatic events.
So that was a different kind of challenge, yes, definitely.
This is a broader question, maybe about the writing process, perhaps aimed at our graduate
student audience who sometimes wonder: where to begin writing? How to write, how do historians
write?
So can you walk us through what an average day looks like, in writing Russian In Flames?
How do you deal with writer's block, the frustrations that come with dealing with such a big topic?
Well, one thing I would, yes, one thing I want to say about this book which is also
different from what I have done before is, this book is built 95% on secondary literature,
or documentary material that was prepared by other people.
There's very little, there's some primary research in the sense that I myself went to
the archives and looked at the material, let's say, on the pogroms of 1920 at YIVO, which
I did.
But mostly, at that level of a narrative, you can't afford to go in yourself at every
moment, even if you wanted to.
And also, since 1991, all this new material is there.
So my research process did not include in this case sitting in an archive and taking
notes and assimilating and organizing it.
It involved finding among secondary works ones that had the kind of information and
the interesting sort of inspiring arguments that got me thinking about how to think about
something.
So if you read the book, you'll notice that many chapters say "this chapter owes a lot
to so and so" because I really wanted to give credit.
Sometimes I felt I gotta be sure that I'm really using it in my own way, but there's
a lot of work that went into this book not done by me.
Process?
Get up in the morning, get to the computer, and sit there.
And Regenstein Library was absolutely key, this is a fabulous library.
I have the experience of the library at Yale which is wonderful, but Regenstein is absolutely
superb in our field.
Modern European history, this whole, the latest thing, rare publications that you wouldn't
imagine being on the shelf, and then an enormous resource was the HathiTrust, I don't know
how to pronounce it, where digitized material.
So, to a greater extent than any other book, I could sit in my room.
And the question was, again, it's the same process.
Reading, assimilating, choosing what's important, and rewriting it about a hundred times.
I think it's a really valuable point as access in Russia can become more difficult and restrictive
for some topics, to make the point that you can do all of this without working extensively
in archive.
Can you say a little bit more about other places that you've done research in Russian
history? Are there other archival repositories or other libraries that are particularly near
and dear to your heart, other than Regenstein?
Well, I would say that the library most dear or dearest to my heart other than Regenstein
is the Slavonic Library in Helsinki, where I have spent many, many, many months over
many, many years, actually I think I first went there in 1971, and it is a fabulous library
in the whole environment and the personnel are wonderful.
I did some of the work on the war there, and many illustrations come from Helsinki, they
have a fabulous collection of World War I postcards, some of which are used as illustrations
in the book.
And YIVO was also very interesting for the purposes of civil war and the telling the
Jewish story and the pogrom story and partly the Ukrainian story.
And another challenge of this book actually is that, linguistic.
So when you get into empire, Russian, German, and French were the three basic working languages
of the field, and over the past decade I've acquired Polish, so Polish OK, Ukraine, oh
dear, Ukraine is a big part of the story, and I can fake it to a certain extent, but
actually...
However, it was very interesting that some of the new writing on Ukraine, some of it's
in English, some Ukrainian historians have written in Russian in order to speak across
the divide still, so I was able to some extent to access that, and to a very interesting
dialogue with some of the Ukrainian scholars in North America.
But when it comes to, you know, the Caucasus or Finland or the Baltic states, you have
to recognize your own limitations.
Yeah, it's a daunting problem.
Another really unusual and I think remarkable thing about the book is the number of memoirs
that you yourself worked through, of the very vivid memoirs we have of this period, and
you've done a lot to assimilate them.
I guess that makes me wonder about the relationship between your voice and the voice of your authors.
Obviously as you read these memoirs you're of course shaped by their views, but you are
of course forming your own views as you read them.
So can you speak a bit about that relationship, and in particular with regard to these first
person sources?
Well, I, of course one is so happy to find a memoir of any given moment, because it does
give you a kind of depth and of perspective and vividness you otherwise don't have.
I was interested in memoirs of political actors, and of course you realize you have sympathy
for some and not for others.
But I was looking for memoirs that illuminated a particular moment.
Some characters I knew already, at least a couple of these characters are carryovers,
characters, actors, historical personages, carryovers from my original work.
V.D.
Nabokov, the father of the novelist, Maxim Vinaver, the prominent Polish, Russian, Jewish
activist of the liberal party.
And back to your point about archives, I just want to say that some of the works I drew
on, I talked a lot about new work, but some of the classics in our field, and you might
want to know really good books on Russian revolution from the pre-1991 days.
For example, William Rosenberg's book on the Liberals.
It is filled with archival material, none of it in Russian, it was published in, I can't
remember, the 1970s or something like that.
And it stands up to this day.
So he went from the Hoover to the Bakhmeteff to Columbia.
There is lots of material in North America and the United States.
In fact some Russian scholars have come to America to mine, publish, edit material, some
of these important Kadet materials that ended up in the United States, and publishing them
in Russian for Russian readers.
So I would say Tsuyoshi Hasegawa's book on the February revolution stands up, it's fantastic
- even though he's changed his mind a little bit, given the more recent publications.
Some of that work was done in the Soviet Union but not in archives.
So yes, archival, I would say I don't want to say that it's a fetish to want archives,
because many of the documents I rely on came from the archives, only I wasn't the one who
found them.
So there is a lot of primary material in this book.
And there's been a huge resurgence of interest, as we would expect, in 2017 about 1917, at
this centenary moment.
And your book has also I think been in dialogue with a number of other books that have come
out at the moment.
So perhaps we can close by reflecting on what you think we've learned new about 1917 in
2017 with this new resurgence of literature, and these new discussions about the revolution.
Well, I would say I have an actual dialogue, conversation, there are a couple of books
that came out almost simultaneously on the revolution itself.
Though I must say in celebration of the centenary of 1917, it's been interpreted broadly as
a year to think about the Soviet Union.
So some of the major publications have not been about the revolution, they've been about
Soviet society and Soviet history, which is perfectly legitimate.
The two books closest to my own, the first one was by Steve Smith, S.A. Smith, also at
Oxford, and he wrote a history from 1905 through 28 I think, and he's a colleague with whom
I've been in dialogue for years and years, and he has a more sympathetic view of the
socialist project than I ended up certainly having after having gone through this material
- he's not uncritical.
He also takes this more economic social history approach to the story.
It's also shorter, I wish mine were shorter.
You know the famous saying, if I had more time I would have written less, that is definitely
true, but we have had very interesting conversations about where to put the emphasis, and how to
evaluate things and how to think about it.
Another book that came out very recently by Tsuyoshi Hasegawa, who was the author of the
big book on the February revolution, oh I also want to add Alexander Rabinowitch's books
on Bolshevik politics and 1917 from the political - I don't always agree with his conclusions
but he's a meticulous historian, and those books are incredibly valuable if you want
to know, tell me, what happened on what day, and who was doing what?
He was very careful, and they are still after all these years - he is an archival historian.
So Tsuyoshi Hasegawa just recently published a book on crime in Petrograd during the revolution,
and this is not only interesting in itself, but it's part of a tendency in the current
literature on our side and over there to reject the political story in favor of a view of
chaos and violence.
This is a trend also in thinking about the first world war, this sense that it's a sort
of a kind of anthropological wave of violence that overwhelms, as part of the falling apart
of society which opens the door to, perhaps, authoritarian solutions, and so on.
And Tsuyoshi, who's a very smart historian said we have to spend more time thinking about
not political violence but violence per se.
And my argument with him is I think that it's not, it's very hard some times to see where
politics begins and ends.
And some of this mass violence is chaotic, extremely brutal and violent, and one has
to put that into the story.
It's not some beautiful airbrushed proletariat.
On the other hand, a lot of these mass movements were structured, organized, had purposes,
had a sort of not an ideology, but had more of a coherence and purposefulness than the
notion of mere violence would suggest.
I think partly in Russia and even in the west there's a reaction against the very old Soviet
narrative that it was a nicely organized political movement, of conscious proletarians...
I'm oversimplifying, but basically this was the idea.
So Russian historians and the reaction against that like to say, well, no no no, it was more
a collapse, more a crisis, and I think you have to integrate, you can't give up on the
political story.
Well, thank you so much for taking the time to have this conversation.
Thank you for your questions!
