English Tutor Nick P Proverbs (77) A Good Man is Hard to Find - Duration: 2:57.
Hi this is Tutor Nick P and this is Proverbs 77. The proverb today is a 'good
man is hard to find. " Okay. Let's take a look at the note here. You can also hear
this proverb as good men are scarce. Scarce meaning rare. Also meaning hard to
find. All right let's continue. This proverb basically means men who would be good
partners, especially husband material, you know, somebody that you'd want to marry
and make into your husband are difficult to find. This proverb could also be used to
mean good workers are hard to find as well. So you know, if a company said you
know good men are hard to find, they just might mean workers, but I think I usually
hear it more in regard to relationships. All right, So let's continue. This
proverb was originally coined by Eddie Green. Remember if somebody coins
something, it means they invented the word. And then it caught on, and it became part
of the vocabulary eventually. So by Eddie Green. He wrote a song titled " A Good Man
is Hard to Find ' in 1918. So it's a long time ago and of course this would be
very fitting and very suitable today. I just copied out some of the lyrics. One of the
choruses here. Just to see why this song was popular. Of course, I'm sure they had
some woman singing this song. ' A good man is hard to find. You always get the other
kind. ' So I'm not the one that's a good man. " Just when you think he is your pal."
You know, your good friend your close friend. " You look for him and find him
fooling around with some other gal. " So basically he was probably having a
romantic relationship with another woman. " Then you rave. " You rave, you get very very
angry. "Then you crave. " Then you have this great desire to see him lying in his
grave. Yeah . You hope he dies. You want to kill him or something like that. So
that's how the original chorus of that song went. That made this phrase very
popular, and it's way back in 1918. So yeah.
The world hasn't changed that much in a hundred years. Let's continue. All right.
Let's look at some examples here.. Example number one. I cannot believe I had, had so
many loser boyfriends. Yeah. You hear a lot of women say things like this.
My God , a good man is hard to find and they might often follow it with like
this, this line. This is exactly how you hear this proverb used. All right. Let's
look at number two. Yeah. You have a good husband. Don't ever let him go . You don't
know how lucky you are. A good man is hard to find. So that's another way that
you could hear someone use this as well. Okay. Anyway, I hope you got it. I hope it was
clear. Thank you for your time . Bye-bye.

Sculpt Boxes by ArtDolls.com-Flower Pixies-Friday Findings Review - Duration: 14:37.
Have you ever admired those cute sculpted fairy dolls and wished you
could make one yourself but didn't know where to start? If so I have a product a
kit with instructions that you might find helpful. Hey there creative
people, Sandy here with another Friday findings video at keepsakecrafts.net.
So when I recently saw that Apryl at makingfairies.co,was putting out
sculpt boxes I was intrigued and she sent me one to review - it's a pretty
clever idea each month there's one project that you get all the supplies
and instructions for all sent to you in a box - just like all the boxes that are
so popular these days - the one she sent me is flower Pixies - one of the things I
love about this project is that Apryl made one and her friend Sherrie made one
and you get instructions from both of them - that's really helpful because while
their projects are very similar they do have slightly different approaches and it's
nice to see that and I'll get into more of that in a bit -so what you get in the
box is some DVDs you also get access to this same instruction plus more and I'll
talk more about that in a minute too online so you get the two DVDs on these
two DVDs I believe this one is an hour long and I think this one is two
and a quarter hours long so you get a lot of instruction some of its redundant
but it's great to have up in front of you as you're working so you can refer
to it - by the way you'll find Apryl on YouTube her channel is Aprylian -sorry I
don't know how to pronounce that: Aprylian, Now in the box one thing you get is
a big chunk of pro sculpt polymer clay - I'm really excited about using this
Apryl and a couple other doll artists that I'm familiar with swear by Pro
sculpt and I've wondered if some of my frustration with sculpting comes because
I'm using the wrong clay so I'm excited and this is enough to make a lot of
these dolls - so once you get the hang of it you can make but a bunch more and
then in the box you also get a whole bunch of
materials for making your doll. Now I will have to say I would have found it
really helpful if they had had a supply list explaining what the things are for,
example in her YouTube video April mentions this product and she says will
tell it she'll tell us more about it but she never really does not in any of the
videos I've watched - now I did watch all of the DVDs but then there were more
many of the same ones online and there might be another one where she talks
more about this but I didn't have time to watch it I watched three and a
quarter hours and of the DVDs. You get wire to make your armature as well as
some foil tape and this was one thing when I was watching the DVD I there were
no explanations for how to make the armature, it just suddenly appeared but
online there are directions and you can also download this, this I printed out and
just cut out and Sherrie shows how to use that and the lengths to cut these and
how to wrap it to make the armature for your little pixie which is about five
inches tall so that's helpful and of course this is information you can use
in future projects for making armatures. I've made armatures different ways this
is a good way so it's good to just add them all to your toolkit. This is batting
for wrapping your doll again Sherrie shows how to do this Apryl and Sherrie both
show how to use the clay in sculpting a head and the hands Sherrie shows how to
sculpt boots and also how to use this bias tape to make little cloth covers
for the boots which is pretty cute and these are eyes that Sherrie made so you
get those in your kit which i think is pretty awesome and I can't read this
Sherrie N. Gilson I think so you can look her up and I believe she sells
these eyes, they're kind of a pretty green yellow which makes sense for a Flower
Fairies so that's a nice kind of special thing to get in the kit. I mean you could
obviously go to the fabric and store buy piece of bias tape or buy some
flowers but those are nice to get, you also get a few flowers which you know
she kind of shows how to use but you can also use other things. I don't remember
what this wire is for, again it would have been nice to have a packing list so
that we'd know exactly what everything is. I think April mentions this in the
video that these are for antenna but I don't think either of them use them I'm
not sure about that - this is for hair and they don't show how to use this for
making the hair - somebody did refer to a video that Apryl put online showing how
she did hair but even that video kind of had details left out - this is a pretty
cool product and there actually is an information sheet in here so that's
helpful because it's something I was totally unfamiliar with it's China paint
and it's a powder and I guess it's, you can see the teeny tiny amount you get
in there but she says it's very very concentrated it's often used on
porcelain and china dolls and plates so if you like them they show you where you
can purchase more. So I think that's everything you get in the kit, now let me
talk a little bit more about the instruction because for the price that
you pay really the instruction is the most valuable thing. You know most of
these things with the exception of the eyes the china paint you know these
things and the wire and the batting I have around my house. I have clay
although I'm excited to try this brand which you can't find in like Michaels or
anything you have to order it online, yeah these things you know these I have
all of these in my house that I could assemble but it's nice to kind of have
it all assembled for you. Really what I think the most valuable thing is the
instruction, now when I watched the DVDs I was a little bit dismayed, I hadn't yet
gotten the information to log in to the online course and the DVDs seemed rather
disorganized to me they don't have any chapters on
them so if you just had the DVDs you could find it very frustrating you might
have to make your own notations as to where the sculpting for the head is and
where the sculpting for the hands is and where the costuming... oh and I missed this
one speaking of costumes this also came in the kit which is kind of fun this
fabric was interesting Sherrie and Apryl use the this a little bit differently in
their two projects so I thought it was kind of fun to see different ways that
they did the costuming - oh that's what this wire is for I just remembered this is
for making the wings that's right, Sherrie shows a really cool way that she
used that she makes wings. Back to the DVDs I thought it was a little bit
confusing it was all mixed up so I was really happy when I went online and I
was able to download my armature pattern because I was looking at the DVD like
What? So I was able to download and print this and online you have everything
that's on these two DVDs plus some, online you have directions for building
your armature you have a few more things that were missing in the DVDs the only
thing that I was hoping to find online that I didn't was how to put the hair on
the doll everything else was there and it was separated into sections so you
could see Apryl making the head part 1 Apryl making the head part 2 Sherrie
making the hands Apryl making the hands and so on so it was much better
organized online so if you're not online if you're in a situation where you don't
have internet access the dvds are a great resource but hopefully you'll be
able to access the online information and have a little bit more easily
accessible and organized. So I'm going to take my kit and have a little fun and
build myself a flower pixie. So here's my little flower pixie mostly done it was a
cute little project to make I'm not a hundred percent thrilled with it I
think largely because not because there was anything wrong with the box but just
because it wasn't my own project and it wasn't I didn't really have my own clear
vision for what I wanted to do with it. So I just sort of used what they had and
used some of those suggestions, changed some things to do it my way and I
suspect if I were to use the hands and the head and the shoes and remake it in
my own vision I'd probably be much happier, that being said it was a really
cute project a great way to get into sculpting if it's not something you've
done before and you could use some direction. The instructions were
excellent, I thought. As I said Sherrie and Apryl both teach most of the parts
there's some things that you only get one of. Apryl tends to zoom in very
closely but not explain every detail she does and Sherrie explains in great detail
which is fantastic but she is quite zoomed out so we can't always see it - so
between the two of them I thought it was a pretty good learning experience. There
were a few things they didn't explain how to do, like how to use the hair. I've wigged
dolls before although you couldn't tell by this one I was kind of in a rush to
get this done so I could do the video. I didn't put the wings on because they're
not dry. I sort of followed Sherrie's directions for making the wings but then
ended up using Pebeos and they're not dry, so so yeah that'll have to come later.
Just to show you what I had leftover I had this much of the clay left so that's
like all I used so you can definitely make a lot more use it if you're new to
sculpting then this is just press and seal that will protect it if you're new
to sculpting don't be afraid to practice. I've sculpted many heads and faces well
not many a good handful and this was my fourth go
and I still wasn't a hundred percent happy with it. I will warn you I tried
something that they suggested in the videos and I've seen suggested before
which was to get your face to where you want it and then take a heat gun and
heat set it before moving on to the next step - that's
a great idea because then you set your features and you can't wreck them.
However what you can do is forget that it's just the surface that's cured and
that the clay underneath will still move and when you forget about that and start
squishing and pressing you end up with cracks which really showed up through
this China paint the blue and green powders that I showed you earlier that's
what's used to paint the hands and the face. I opted to just do plain clay boots
and I didn't cover them with the seam binding but Sherrie shows you how to do
that you have little cloth boots. So this
forehead, I think it looks like a little man, his forehead is kind of a mess so so
do be warned of that that if you're heavy-handed which I can tend to be and
I get lost in what I'm doing and I forget that I'm holding it and I end up
mashing it I think I prefer to do my usual method which is to just do a full
bake in between every step and not the partial baking. I'm sure if you're doing
production work that saves their way saves a lot of time. So I thought I'd
show you what I had leftover from this project: I didn't use this for the boots,
that fine wire was for the wings, this was all I had left of the foil tape and
that was a pretty good method for making an armature I'd never done it that way
before I liked it I didn't use much of this I only used a little tiny bit so
this will go in my doll making supplies. I used most of the fur for wigging
although don't know that I would use this again
for wigging I've done other things, little bits of the flowers left I used a
little bit of I think I have a tiny bit of the China paint left I don't know where
I put that. Now neither Sherrie nor Apryl showed how to use these little
antennae. I'm not even sure what this is actually yeah I think these are meant to
be for antennae because they had in mind to make sort of a bug like creature but
neither of them showed how to use them and I didn't think of it either,
although Sherrie shows how to sculpt on a little antenna on her creature see, oh no
in the photo they're on, okay but they don't show it in the video that I saw at
all - and almost enough wire left to make another one and lots and lots of clay. I
loved using the eyes that was really cool.
So all in all if you're learning how to sculpt and you want to learn how to
sculpt figures and you like having all the materials assembled for you then I'd
recommend it. I think it's a fun thing to get in the mail a fun project, and since you
spent money on it it's kind of an incentive to practice and and work on
these things. So thank you so much to April for sending along the sculpt box
for me to try out, it was a fun little project and I enjoyed learning a few
tips and tricks that I didn't know already. So if you enjoyed this video and
you're interested in sculpt boxes go to my blog post where I will have a link
for how you can get one yourself. Thanks so much for watching, happy creating, bye
bye.

How to Get More Out of Your Scripture Study - Duration: 1:33.
Are you trying to figure out how to make your scripture study more exciting? Don't
worry we've got you covered. I'm Jess with LDS Living and here are five fun,
easy ways to jazz up your scripture study.
Number one: mark your scriptures by
topic. Find a topic that interests you and mark
all the scriptures relating to that topic. Number two: mark all commandments
and blessings. Underline the commandments and put a box around the blessings.
Number three: write your spiritual impressions. Studying your scriptures is
a great way to receive spiritual guidance from our Heavenly Father.
Number four: draw pictures in the margins. Get in touch with your artistic side and
draw pictures to help you study and remember the messages. Lastly, number five:
insert your name. This is a great way to make studying the scriptures feel more
personal. In a scripture that you love, highlight the name or reference to a
scripture hero, then replace it with your name and have the scripture speak to you.
Remember, you don't have to try out all these ideas. Just find a study habit that
works for you and make it your own. Thanks so much for watching. Make
sure you like, share, and subscribe to all things LDS Living to stay in the loop.

Mercedes-AMG GT Roadster: Sports Car vs Racing Drone | Drag Race - Duration: 3:26.
This is our racing drone which we use for drag racing this weekend.
You are at 100 km per hour in under 1 second.
We built that for only one reason:
be faster than the race car.
This is just a standard carbon frame on a 4S battery.
I just have 4x25 ESCs.
I have the AMG GT.
This is the standard road car. And we have 476 horsepower
and the torque, which is really the most fun in this car,
is 630.
It's like an explosion.
From 0 to 100 it's about...
1 second, maybe less.
1 second? It's really unbelievable.
Because this car is around 4 seconds,
which is, for a standard road car, unbelievable.
And if you are sitting in it, it's really like:
wooooooh!
For me it's unbelievable to see, somebody is sitting
next to you while he cannot really see you but is only
watching me through the camera.
It was a fantastic battle against this unbelievable race machine.
Yeah, I would like to do it again, for sure.
Just bring more power then!
Ok!

[NEW!] Alien's Guide to DEMOLITION MAN - Duration: 7:31.
Greetings, and welcome to Earthling Cinema.
I'm your host, Garyx Wormuloid.
This week's artifact is Demolition Man, starring white collar criminal Wellesley Snipes
and the Italian Stallion himself, Sylvester Stallion.
The film takes place in a bizarre alternate universe where people always address each
other by their full names.
Our protagonist is John Spartan, a cop who is beloved for his ability to destroy things.
That is, until he crosses paths with a blonde bombshell named Joaquin Phoenix, whose one
lie is enough to make everyone suddenly hate John Spartan and throw him in ice jail for
fifty years.
Cut to the future: where everything is all kumbaya because Emperor Palpatine over here
outlawed swear words and salt and kissing.
Reminds me of my ex-wife!
The first one.
Well, and the third one.
But especially the second one.
Joaquin Phoenix escapes from ice jail and goes on a homicidal laughing spree.
Guess blondes really do have more fun.
Since the police in the future have lost their flair for beating civilians, they decide to
bring back the one guy who can get the job done: Rambo.
I mean Rocky.
I mean Judge Dredd.
I mean The Expendables 3.
Look, whoever he is, he immediately gets back to his old hobby of letting Phoenix get away
for the millionth time.
In a shocking twist, we learn Palpatine is a bad guy, and freed Phoenix in order to scare
people into giving him more power, even though he is already extremely powerful and everyone
treats him like a god.
That night, Spartan tries to play Nintendo Wii with his new co-worker Huxley, but she
Switches it up and puts an X over her Box.
No Play in this Station tonight.
Instead, they journey down into the sewers to gab with some mole people.
While they're talking with their defenses completely down, Phoenix has a wide open shot
at them from a higher vantage point with the element of surprise.
Somehow he ruins all that by just spraying gunfire aimlessly, and things quickly devolve
into a car chase along the 10 freeway, although at that hour they probably should have taken
the 101.
Realizing there's only 20 minutes left in the movie, Phoenix hurries things along by
killing Palpatine and adopting a new plan: defrost some more dudes and then sort of see
what happens.
What happens is that John Spartan shows up just in time to get caught in a claw machine.
Phoenix fires about a thousand rounds at him from point blank range, but none of the bullets
make contact, despite the fact that Spartan is STUCK IN A CLAW MACHINE.
Spartan escapes and the drops some sort of infinity stone on the ground, which instantly
freezes everything except himself, because they're just making up the rules as they go
along.
Then he blindsides Huxley with some workplace harassment and calls it a day.
Demolition Man is a parody of '80s sci fi action films, many of which were already parodies
of themselves.
The film pokes fun at all the tropes that make the genre nervously tick from the non-stop
cussing, to the necessity of having sex after action sequences, to the hero's insistence
on driving, when everyone knows a Lyft will get you there in half the time with twice
the mints.
This parody is especially effective since it's performed by a prototypical action
star whose star blew up in the 70s.
Unlike the other star that blew up in the 3000s and made everything all melty.
Where many future dystopian films take place in a tattered husk of a world or show a society
oppressed under a totalitarian regime, Demolition Man portrays an apparent Bachelor in Paradise,
where the grass is green and the seashells are...crappy.
There's no violence and everyone's feelings are treated with the utmost importance by
robots.
But underneath this utopian veneer lies a warning about attempting to arts and craft a perfect
society: Rob Schneider will still be there.
The film hints at its ominous message by totally plagiarising names from Brave New World.
Lenina Huxley takes her first name from the book's character Lenina Crowne, and her
last name from its author General Huxley.
John is an homage to John the Savage.
And Alfredo Garcia probably means something too.
Right?
Isn't that a kind of pasta?
The film imagines the effects on society when politeness becomes law, just like the five
second rule.
In Palpatine's world, anything deemed unhealthy or unpleasant has been exorcism-ed.
While the intention is presumably to prevent people from getting butthurt, the film suggests
a dehumanizing effect.
The Verbal Morality Statute, enacted to encourage civilized conversation, has become an oppressive
moderator that wastes an extraordinary amount of paper.
That stuff doesn't grow on trees.
Technology, ostensibly created to empower people, has come to inhibit their natural
urges.
Science has made it possible to simulate sex, but in doing so, has made it suck, and not
in the fun way.
And when people can't get their release in the traditional way, they're inevitably gonna
start sticking shells up their butts.
While crime has become virtually non-existent, the film suggests that the lack of conflict
has rendered society ill-equipped to deal with adversity, a disease that humans like
to talk about at graduations.
The contrast to this squeaky-clean, hyper-rationalized version of government is the sweaty, hot dirty
anarchy below.
The film, however, suggests that this is not a good option either, because the lack of
any system at all leads to starvation...and worse: a surplus of gluten.
The film's conclusion is to strike a balance between the two.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go strike a balance between sobriety and a handful of
'ludes.
For Earthling Cinema, I'm Garyx Wormuloid.

Understanding "Like A Stone" - Duration: 9:19.
hey, welcome to 12tone! in the past we've looked at songs by Soundgarden and by Rage
Against The Machine, but what happens when you smash those two bands together?
well, that's how you get Audioslave.
Audioslave was a supergroup that formed after Rage singer Zach De La Rocha decided to quit
the band and the other three members recruited Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell.
a lot of supergroups struggle to be more than the sum of their parts, but Audioslave managed
to put out quite a few hits, including the one we're looking at today, Like A Stone.
the song starts like this (bang) with just really sparse guitar arpeggios.
an arpeggio is when you play the notes of a chord one at a time instead of all at once,
so technically this is a chord progression, but it's also a melody and before we get into
harmony I want to look at its shape.
this line can basically be broken up into four leaps: we start with a small jump down,
then go to a larger jump down, then switch directions with a similar jump up, and finally
end with an even larger jump up, followed by this extra bonus jump at the end.
this pattern, where the gap keeps getting bigger and the direction switches halfway
through, gives us a sense of building momentum, like the whole thing is ramping up to a big
finish, and the last leap at the end, which starts shrinking and walking back down to
the starting note, helps the pattern repeat without feeling abrupt.
on harmony, though, this is a little more complicated, because while they're certainly
outlining chords, those chords are incomplete. for instance, in the first bar we have Bb
and G, which implies a G minor triad, but we have no D to finish it off.
then we have C and F, implying some sort of F chord, but we don't know which one.
if we look ahead to where the vocals come in, though, we see that Cornell sings an A
over it, so let's call it F major.
likewise, this next chord is D and A, and the melody's gonna have an F, so D minor.
and finally we have Eb and D, which implies an Eb major 7 chord, which is again supported
by the melody using a G over it.
overall, I think we're pretty clearly in G minor here, which means we're starting on
the I chord, going to bVII, then V minor, then bVI. to understand this, though, I'm
gonna pretend for a second that the V chord is major, 'cause if it was this'd be a great
example of what's called functional harmony.
don't worry, I'll explain why it's minor in a bit.
anyway, functional harmony is the idea that different chords in a key have different functions,
or jobs to do.
we start on the I chord, which has tonic function, meaning it provides a sense of rest.
it's like our home base.
then we go to bVII: this can have a couple different jobs, but here I think it has subdominant
function, which introduces some instability in order to lead us away from that home.
then we hit V major, which has dominant function.
dominant chords are the drivers of functional harmony: their job is to point you back home.
instead of going to I, though, we get what's called a deceptive cadence, where the V chord
resolves up to the bVI. this works because the bVI is also tonic, and it shares a lot
of notes in common with the I chord, so even though we don't go straight home, we still
land somewhere fairly similar.
but in this progression, the V is minor.
for various reasons that aren't super important right now, this means it can't really carry
that same dominant function.
it can't do its job.
so what is it doing? well, at this point it's worth noting that when we first hear it, we
don't actually know it's minor.
we figured that out by looking ahead at the vocal melody, but for the first couple statements
it's just a power chord, and our functionally-trained ears are likely to fill in an F#. this gives
us an easy analysis, and then when the vocals come in and sing F natural our ears adjust
to this new information and take the whole thing as a variant of that functional progression.
it works because it doesn't show you the problem until you've already accepted it.
but we're only four bars into the song and I've been talking for… wow, ok, let's move
on.
after that the bass comes in, but instead of playing roots like we'd expect, it does
this: (bang) ignoring the guitar chords and just playing the same figure in each bar,
with only a slight variation in the last one.
this is what's called an ostinato, where a short pattern repeats itself over and over
without regard for what's happening around it, and it helps create a sense of grounding
or weight.
you know, like a stone.
usually ostinatos are longer than this, but since the guitar part is, itself, just a slightly
longer ostinato, the bass one has to be pretty short in order to make its point.
then the vocals come in, and remember how most of our guitar chords didn't include 3rds?
well, the melody makes good use of that, emphasizing both the 3rds and 4ths of a lot of the chords,
like with this bit in the second bar: (bang) normally those Bbs would rub really hard against
the A in the chord, but since the guitar's not actually playing an A the melody has more
freedom to do whatever it wants.
skipping ahead to the chorus now, we get this: (bang) here we start on the I chord and move
to bIII. the bIII is a bit of an ambiguous chord, but here I think it has subdominant
function, serving to take us away from our root. then we hit the bVII, which leads back
to I minor.
remember how I said earlier that the bVII could do multiple jobs?
well, here it's playing the role of dominant function, creating what jazz theorists call
a backdoor resolution.
this is kind of like the cousin of that deceptive cadence from earlier: it's a dominant chord
resolving up a step, but instead of feinting away from the root, it's resolving to it.
that section repeats twice, then we hear this: (bang) and the main point here is that it
keeps falling back to the I chord. we step away to different major chords, but every
time it gets pulled back to that minor root. it's weighing us down.
you know, like a stone.
anyway, that section starts to repeat, but halfway through it switches up to this (bang)
where that F# in the melody means we finally have that D7 chord we wanted earlier, giving
us a strong dominant function and setting up a V-I resolution back into the verse.
we go through all that again, and then we find ourselves in the solo. this is over the
chorus progression, or at least the chorus bass part, and it breaks up into three main
sections.
over the first 8 bars, Morello plays sparse, long notes, using what's called a whammy pedal
to shift the notes around and create a fairly open feeling with lots of empty space.
then he switches to a fast, 16th-note descending figure, which he plays over and over, unchanged,
for the next four bars. this creates more motion, and ramps up the energy of the solo.
it's still descending, though, so it feels like it's falling: the energy is kinda directionless.
then he ends with a big walk-up, featuring what're called double-stops, where he plays
a melody on two strings at the same time.
in this case, he's bending those strings so that they're actually playing the same notes,
but it gives the sound a little extra weight, and the insistent rising line helps point
the solo towards its conclusion.
it's almost like the melodic structures are taking on functions of their own: we have
a sparse, open, tonic-y start, then the directionless, subdominant energy of the second section,
followed by a dramatic, dominant build into the end of the solo.
I don't know, just seemed like a neat parallel.
anyway, from there we hit the bridge, where most of the band drops out and we're left
with just vocals and acoustic guitar.
if we look at the first four bars (bang) it kinda seems like we've changed keys.
it feels a bit like we're in Eb now, starting on the I chord, dropping to the V, and ending
up back on the I. this D chord is a bit weird, though: it kinda fits, giving us like a major
version of a backdoor resolution, but really, it's hard to analyze in Eb. instead, I think
what it's doing is foreshadowing the next four bars (bang) where we seem to return to
G minor, indicating that our Eb was just a brief little field trip, not a real key change.
however, before we leave that key we do see this Eb minor chord, which darkens the overall
sound.
this chord has no real place in G minor, but because we had just implied a visit to Eb,
we can interpret it as what's called modal interchange, where we borrow chords from a
neighboring scale.
we were in Eb major, stole a chord from Eb minor, and then switched back to G minor through
this series of dominant 7ths.
as for these chords, they're a bit tricky to explain.
well, the D7 isn't: it's the V chord in the key of G, and it sets up the resolution to
the G minor.
but C7's a little strange.
setting up our D7 with another dominant chord helps emphasize it and makes the final move
to G feel a lot more resolved, but normally if we wanted to set up a D chord, we'd use
A7.
C7 usually points to some sort of F chord, but here it seems to be cleverly exploiting
that deceptive resolution technique from earlier, resolving up instead and taking us to our
V chord in a cool, unexpected way. after that, the band comes in and they play all that again,
except this time they hang on the D7 for two bars setting up a huge final chorus before
ending on an Eb major chord, calling back to our brief stop in that key during the bridge
and indicating…
I don't know, escape?
freedom? it depends how you interpret the lyrics.
and that's pretty much it, although before we go I do want to acknowledge the important
role the drums play here: most of the guitar and bass parts are pretty sparse in order
to give the vocals plenty of space, so a lot of the actual rhythmic driving has to be done
by the drums.
I mean, that's kinda the point of drums, but here it's even more important than normal,
and Brad Wilk does a great job laying down a beat that's compelling without being distracting.
it doesn't change much throughout the song, only really mixing things up in the bridge.
mostly it's serving as an anchor, holding the song in place.
you know, like a stone.

EUCHARISTIE MIRACLE ... NO MIRACLE AT THE PROSTESTANTS AND EVANGELICAL ... - Duration: 2:13.
By dint of looking for miracles for my videos ... I found that Protestants
and evangelical Protestants had not a lot of miracles, because not having
of statues in their church, blood, oil and tears could not flow from the eyes
of Jesus and not believing in Mary our Lady, they could not either sink
Mary's eyes ... Muslims, too, have the same problem,
they do not have a real miracle, they have miracles that are natural phenomena,
like a sea of sand that moves, a little bird that breaks his shell ...
The Orthodox, they have miracles thanks to the icons covered with oil, they
also have a religion based much on the songs ….
All religions are guided by God, they all have a role to play, the goal
being at the moment of death, souls choose God and not satan ... but
all religions are not identical, some are more complete than others ...
Eucharist miracle ...
In Poland, the miracle began the day Christmas 2013.
The priest who was sick celebrated Mass and he gave Holy Communion.
By wanting to put the host on the tongue of a parishioner, the eucharist has landed
On the ground.
According to the established procedure, I confess not know this procedure, the host
was picked up and placed in a cup with water. it had to be dissolved.
After a while, the water colored red and flesh appeared.
An investigation has been set up.
Scientists analyzed the pieces and they concluded that it was cloth
heart muscle.

Understanding "Like A Stone" - Duration: 9:19.hey, welcome to 12tone! in the past we've looked at songs by Soundgarden and by Rage
Against The Machine, but what happens when you smash those two bands together?
well, that's how you get Audioslave.
Audioslave was a supergroup that formed after Rage singer Zach De La Rocha decided to quit
the band and the other three members recruited Soundgarden singer Chris Cornell.
a lot of supergroups struggle to be more than the sum of their parts, but Audioslave managed
to put out quite a few hits, including the one we're looking at today, Like A Stone.
the song starts like this (bang) with just really sparse guitar arpeggios.
an arpeggio is when you play the notes of a chord one at a time instead of all at once,
so technically this is a chord progression, but it's also a melody and before we get into
harmony I want to look at its shape.
this line can basically be broken up into four leaps: we start with a small jump down,
then go to a larger jump down, then switch directions with a similar jump up, and finally
end with an even larger jump up, followed by this extra bonus jump at the end.
this pattern, where the gap keeps getting bigger and the direction switches halfway
through, gives us a sense of building momentum, like the whole thing is ramping up to a big
finish, and the last leap at the end, which starts shrinking and walking back down to
the starting note, helps the pattern repeat without feeling abrupt.
on harmony, though, this is a little more complicated, because while they're certainly
outlining chords, those chords are incomplete. for instance, in the first bar we have Bb
and G, which implies a G minor triad, but we have no D to finish it off.
then we have C and F, implying some sort of F chord, but we don't know which one.
if we look ahead to where the vocals come in, though, we see that Cornell sings an A
over it, so let's call it F major.
likewise, this next chord is D and A, and the melody's gonna have an F, so D minor.
and finally we have Eb and D, which implies an Eb major 7 chord, which is again supported
by the melody using a G over it.
overall, I think we're pretty clearly in G minor here, which means we're starting on
the I chord, going to bVII, then V minor, then bVI. to understand this, though, I'm
gonna pretend for a second that the V chord is major, 'cause if it was this'd be a great
example of what's called functional harmony.
don't worry, I'll explain why it's minor in a bit.
anyway, functional harmony is the idea that different chords in a key have different functions,
or jobs to do.
we start on the I chord, which has tonic function, meaning it provides a sense of rest.
it's like our home base.
then we go to bVII: this can have a couple different jobs, but here I think it has subdominant
function, which introduces some instability in order to lead us away from that home.
then we hit V major, which has dominant function.
dominant chords are the drivers of functional harmony: their job is to point you back home.
instead of going to I, though, we get what's called a deceptive cadence, where the V chord
resolves up to the bVI. this works because the bVI is also tonic, and it shares a lot
of notes in common with the I chord, so even though we don't go straight home, we still
land somewhere fairly similar.
but in this progression, the V is minor.
for various reasons that aren't super important right now, this means it can't really carry
that same dominant function.
it can't do its job.
so what is it doing? well, at this point it's worth noting that when we first hear it, we
don't actually know it's minor.
we figured that out by looking ahead at the vocal melody, but for the first couple statements
it's just a power chord, and our functionally-trained ears are likely to fill in an F#. this gives
us an easy analysis, and then when the vocals come in and sing F natural our ears adjust
to this new information and take the whole thing as a variant of that functional progression.
it works because it doesn't show you the problem until you've already accepted it.
but we're only four bars into the song and I've been talking for… wow, ok, let's move
on.
after that the bass comes in, but instead of playing roots like we'd expect, it does
this: (bang) ignoring the guitar chords and just playing the same figure in each bar,
with only a slight variation in the last one.
this is what's called an ostinato, where a short pattern repeats itself over and over
without regard for what's happening around it, and it helps create a sense of grounding
or weight.
you know, like a stone.
usually ostinatos are longer than this, but since the guitar part is, itself, just a slightly
longer ostinato, the bass one has to be pretty short in order to make its point.
then the vocals come in, and remember how most of our guitar chords didn't include 3rds?
well, the melody makes good use of that, emphasizing both the 3rds and 4ths of a lot of the chords,
like with this bit in the second bar: (bang) normally those Bbs would rub really hard against
the A in the chord, but since the guitar's not actually playing an A the melody has more
freedom to do whatever it wants.
skipping ahead to the chorus now, we get this: (bang) here we start on the I chord and move
to bIII. the bIII is a bit of an ambiguous chord, but here I think it has subdominant
function, serving to take us away from our root. then we hit the bVII, which leads back
to I minor.
remember how I said earlier that the bVII could do multiple jobs?
well, here it's playing the role of dominant function, creating what jazz theorists call
a backdoor resolution.
this is kind of like the cousin of that deceptive cadence from earlier: it's a dominant chord
resolving up a step, but instead of feinting away from the root, it's resolving to it.
that section repeats twice, then we hear this: (bang) and the main point here is that it
keeps falling back to the I chord. we step away to different major chords, but every
time it gets pulled back to that minor root. it's weighing us down.

anyway, that section starts to repeat, but halfway through it switches up to this (bang)
where that F# in the melody means we finally have that D7 chord we wanted earlier, giving
us a strong dominant function and setting up a V-I resolution back into the verse.
we go through all that again, and then we find ourselves in the solo. this is over the
chorus progression, or at least the chorus bass part, and it breaks up into three main
sections.

for the next four bars. this creates more motion, and ramps up the energy of the solo.
it's still descending, though, so it feels like it's falling: the energy is kinda directionless.

followed by a dramatic, dominant build into the end of the solo.
I don't know, just seemed like a neat parallel.
anyway, from there we hit the bridge, where most of the band drops out and we're left
with just vocals and acoustic guitar.
if we look at the first four bars (bang) it kinda seems like we've changed keys.
it feels a bit like we're in Eb now, starting on the I chord, dropping to the V, and ending
up back on the I. this D chord is a bit weird, though: it kinda fits, giving us like a major
version of a backdoor resolution, but really, it's hard to analyze in Eb. instead, I think

7 Best And Worst Things About Playing Fallout 76 Solo | PC Beta Impressions - Duration: 13:34.
Hello and welcome to Rock Paper Shotgun.
Today we're looking at Fallout 76 - a game that, coincidentally, has a lot of rocks,
paper and shotguns.
The bombs have fallen and what is left of humanity is about to leave its underground
home.
What does this mean for the outside world?
Well, a lot of things are going to get shot.
These mad robots probably deserved it.
This chicken, however, did not.
It also means we'll be doing lots of classic Fallout things: praying our hairpins don't
break in a lock… finding skeletons next to conveniently placed props…
Or just running like hell from Deathclaws.
The big difference is that there are now other people to run like hell with you.
And this is where it gets bumpy.
You see, online Fallout wants to capture the manic fun of social play, but somehow do it
in a post-apocalyptic fiction famed for its isolation and storytelling.
Can you have one without compromising the other?
I've been trying to play the current beta as a solo game, to bring you these PC impressions
and see if we can find the DNA of the older games away from the crowds of people.
I'll be looking at how it handles quests, other people, survival and world building
- but let's kick off with one of the few things I really did like.
Before we go further, I wanted to answer a question I've seen many people asking: can
you fight a monster with a giant beehive for an ass?
As you can hopefully see under the cover of night: yes, there is a monster with a beehive
where it's ass should be.
It's called the Honey Beast, which I think is distant relation of the Honey Monster - another
sugary abomination that gave me nightmares.
The honey beast guffs out swarms of bees, which is pretty funny when they're attacking
ghouls, but not so funny when the ghouls are stung to death and they come looking for a
new victim.
If you do kill it, you get a load of sweet honey at the end.
Or should that be, from the end?
While we're on the subject of new monsters that I like, here's the Grafton Monster.
This is a creature from West Virginian folklore, although the folk story doesn't mention
it being stuffed with sweet, sweet loot.
As with the Honey Beast, I enjoyed watching this hulking brute fight my enemies for me.
If there's something Fallout 76 does well, it's big crowds of monsters picking fights
with other crowds of monsters.
I want to know how many radroaches could take the Grafton Monster.
Of course, when it ran out of super mutants I had to hide in a nearby cafe and throw molotov
cocktails at it.
I just thought it would be good to start with these beasties before I look at the real monster:
your fellow humans.
Back at E3, Todd Howard said it didn't matter that the game has no NPCs, because "every
character you see is a real person".
And yes, at moments there's a thrill in knowing that it's a fellow human coming
to your rescue as you tag-team baddies in an abandoned water park.
Humans are certainly better at keeping themselves alive then Preston Garvey ever was.
But it comes at a cost: people are weird and unpredictable, and weird and unpredictable
isn't great for building immersion.
Take my first interaction in the whole game.
When I stepped out of Vault 76 I wanted to drink in the awesome sight of the vast West
Virginia landscape; but all I could focus on was the name 'Cocktimus Prime' floating
on the screen.
We are the last remnants of humanity and one of us is called CocktimusPrime.
We are doomed.
If it isn't the gamertag, it's the body the gamertag is attached to.
It's very hard to buy into the mystery of a deserted camp when you've got this idiot
jumping around in it.
Even worse is the endless parade of survivors on the same quests as you, all using the same
computers and following the same routes.
One mission asks me to play detective and track down a missing kid, but it's impossible
to take it seriously when I can see another detective doing all the same work a couple
of seconds ahead of me.
This behaviour isn't distinct to Fallout 76 - human weirdness is something you need
to overlook to buy into any MMO's world - but the Fallout universe isn't just any
MMO world.
It's a place that trades on loneliness and a sense of discovery - both of which are much
harder to find when you're hanging out with CocktimusPrime.
Put aside other people and you're left with that massive hole where Fallout NPCs should
be.
The decision not to include NPCs, instead using robots and computer terminals to share
information, is one of the more damaging in the game.
However you feel about Bethesda's characters and writing, they gave your missions emotional
context - it's bleak exploring a world where everyone is dead.
Worse, it's too predictable: any quest that involves finding someone?
Spoiler alert: they're dead.
You can tell, because /everyone/ is dead.
It puts huge limitations on what missions can actually involve.
With no characters to challenge your actions or conjure moral dilemmas, the missions can't
go beyond 'go to a place and look for an object or kill the monsters'.
And it's so hard to create drama when all you have is text documents to set the scene.
Take that search for the missing kid I mentioned - I normally love detective missions, but
this case is solved by going to a computer in a theme park that tells me to go to a computer
in a post office which takes me to the killer's house where he confesses… on his computer.
It's like browsing my google documents with a bit of molerat shooting in-between.
There are also Holotape audio logs - in other words, a text document you don't have to
read.
I'm in two minds about these: they're well written and performed, and bring much
needed human voices into this otherwise silent world.
But man alive, they are so long and cumbersome to listen to.
A radiated hell world, full of very loud gunfire, is not a good place to listen to a radio play...
That happens so many times, and people monologue for so long I can't bring myself to start
the tape again.
Honestly, by the time I got to the second beta session I was skipping them entirely.
It's a shame that the quests lack that spark of life, because West Virginia itself is a
fun place to have adventures.
It's a much more vivid world than Bethesda have made before, with its burning orange
leaves of the opening area making way for regions where it's hard to tell anything
bad has actually happened while you've been in the vault.
Well, zero population aside.
Even the Toxic Valley - not a name that fills you with hope - is quite an unusual take on
poisonous swamps, with the ground bleached white by chemical spillages.
Where previous Bethesda maps could blur from one charred hillside to the next, there's
a tangible shift here.
It needs it, of course, what with the map being their biggest yet.
It's the lumpiest map too - with rolling hills and giant mountain ranges carving the
map into distinct regions.
I'm a big fan of hills in games - I like terrain where navigating it is a bit of a
puzzle in itself and where it rewards with you a stunning view when you get to the top.
And for all its changes, I do think Fallout 76 delivers on the core exploration I want
from a modern Fallout game.
I'm a huge sucker for the compass bar, which still shows the outline of a landmark that
then pops into life when you finally reach it.
I love seeing just what pops into view as you head towards these ghostly icons - often
it's just another boring farm (although I will take those handy wood supplies, thanks),
but when it's a pumpkin party with a free clown costume, it's worth the trip.
My best hours with the game have definitely been the ones where i walked in the opposite
direction to the other human dots on the map and started to see what the world looked like.
And I definitely want to see more.
Being online also changes how Bethesda's traditional auto-targeting combat works.
In the older Bethesda fallouts, you could freeze time and see hit probabilities for
every potential shot.
Time can't stop in a shared server so it's replaced with a real-time VATS.
This version still removes the need to manually aim, but does asks you to position yourself
to improve the hit odds in real-time.
It's really just an over-zealous auto aim, especially if you equip the character perks
that let it target limbs or heads.
It's still limited by action points, mind you, so it's not the instant-win aimbot
that it might sound like.
I don't hate it as a system - I've always found it useful to have something to pick
enemies out from Fallout's cluttered settings, and to track small and fast enemies.
Slow mo or not, it's still useful for sniping buzzing pests.
The bigger combat change is actually the number of enemies that get thrown at you.
In order to give teams a run for their money, you're constantly facing down gangs of ghouls
or the new Scorched enemies.
It's a pace I just don't expect from Fallout - pushing a big focus onto melee combat as
you desperately swing at creatures grabbing at your body.
I traditionally play Fallout in stealth mode, but it just doesn't work here - once one
enemy is off, you've got a manic punch-up on your hands.
Swarming enemies make more sense in events, which are communal missions that task any
nearby people to fight off waves of attackers or protect a robot or machine while it finishes
a task.
They're big, broad punch-ups, but it's good to see a normally chaotic crowd of people
work to a common goal.
I also enjoyed the hints of tower defence in combat tasks that give you a few minutes
to place turrets and defences to protect a workbench I take control of out in the wild
- plopping down guns is about all I can manage with the impossibly fiddly building interface.
I also like that the survival elements of the game are quite generous.
Normally when I see a thirst or hunger meter my own disinterest meter begins to rise - I
play games to get away from the hideous toil of existence.
Fallout 76's food and water needs are gentle as far as the genre goes.
Both deplete slowly and when they are down, it only saps your action points, which is
Fallout's answer to stamina.
It's a background concern, and easily managed.
Dirty water and raw meat is everywhere and just needs heating - you'll find big piles
of wood in most rural locations.
You don't really need to worry about building cooking facilities either, as they're all
over the country or you can just fast travel back where you get your cooking tutorial.
Oh, and make sure to use a meat spit while wearing a clown outfit if you want to give
yourself nightmares.
In fact, it's pretty generous across the board - although fast travel comes with a
cap cost, it does mean you're quickly able to make in-roads across the vast map.
As long as you reach and activate the next landmark - never more than a minute or so
apart - you've got a handy respawn point.
And death really isn't a big deal anyway - it dumps your junk items in a bag to collect
where your body was.
And if there's a high level enemy still lurking about?
It's not the end of the world to lose a sack of junk.
I mean, it's called junk.
Of course, there's lots I've yet to really dig into I've only started tinkering with
the perk cards - a revamp of character building that lets you rewire your hero on the fly
based on collectible ability cards.
Or the PvP aspect that sees rival gunslingers get caught in a war of escalating revenge
kills - I've stayed away from other people and so their bullets can't get me.
And I've yet to play with the building - I built enough to plant a stash box to dump
my junk and haven't looked back since.
Short four hour beta bursts are not the way to discover a world of this size, and I imagine
much of it won't make sense until it's out in the wild.
But I do struggle to see how it'll overcome the big storytelling problems at the centre.
Of course, if you've been playing the beta I'd love to hear your thoughts.
And if you have any questions about the game, do pop them in the comments below and I'll
try my best to find answers to them, too.
I hope you found this Fallout 76 tour useful - I'm still clarifying some of my thoughts
and we'll be doing more thorough analysis over the coming weeks.

Using The Lenovo Smart Display as a Digital Photo Frame - Ambient Mode - Duration: 6:28.
Hello everyone. thanks for tuning in again. I'm going to take you through
what's called Ambient Mode with the Lenovo Smart Display. So google's Ambient
Mode was released some time ago for Google Chromecast and other Chromecast
style devices, but what they've done since is they've allowed it to go out to
devices like the Lenovo Smart Display, and I'm going to show you how to use it
here today.
Google Home has created Ambient Mode and what they did initially with the Google
Chromecast was they allowed you to look at kind of historical paintings, big
landscapes, and other kind of big pictures like that on your TV that had
Chromecast. So if you had either a Chromecast enabled TV or you had a
chromecast on your TV, these images were basically downloaded and rotated through.
Now what you can see going on on my display here is a lot more personalized,
so you can see pictures of me, my family, other pictures that were important to me,
showing up here on my Lenovo Smart Display. That's what I'm going to show
you how to do here, so I'm going to bring up my iPhone, and we're gonna start
rolling through the different settings here. So the first thing you have to do
is actually go into the devices section of the Google Home application, that's up
in the top right of your screen and then you're going to scroll down and you're
going to find your device. Now mine is called basement office display and you
can see right now that the pictures are synchronizing between the two devices so
that's what's going on we're rolling through the pictures here and that is
actually ambient mode so I can either tap on the three dots and tap on ambient
mode settings or you can see down below I can tap on edit ambient mode now
editing ambient mode gives you four options so there's the Google photos the
art gallery the fullscreen clock which I'll show you and then you can see I'm
using the experimental mode and that's how I'm getting these kind of
personalized pictures on my Lenovo smart display no more than that I can show and
hide whether the time I can show personal photo data so for example it
says on my device that I took the picture any time I took the picture and
it's uploaded to my account the other thing you can do is actually change the
slideshow speed so you can range from about 5 seconds all the way up you can
see to ten minutes so this gives you a pretty wide range of how often you're
going to switch that picture and really changes the functionality quite a bit so
now again I'm going to roll through some of the different options so you can
go into google photos now this is the Google Photos application so if you have
an Android phone you're much more likely to be using Google photos if you have a
Google Drive account again you're much more likely because you have the storage
space but ultimately what you can do is go in and pick from any of your albums
you can see as I picked that it's changing the picture on my device so
going back I can go to the art gallery which was the initial way that this
feature worked and you can see it switching right away again to all those
different pictures that Google basically curates
they create that list now heading back the full screen clock is a nice feature
if that's all you're looking for really if you really just want to see the time
on your device and I can see why there's a number of different clocks here that
you can choose and from there there's not much else to talk about now heading
to the experimental mode this is where I think this feature really changed for me
you can see that you can connect your Facebook and your Flickr account so if
you haven't already connected that you simply tap here it will ask you for the
login settings and you're basically all done at that point but for now I'm
already connected so I'm just going to tap in to there and then you can see I
could turn on and off my Facebook account I could remove my Facebook
account if I wanted to ever in the future and then I can also go in and
again here's all my different albums from Facebook that I can scroll through
and I can switch between so I can remove the cover photos album if I'd like to
simply by tapping on it and that will no longer show up on my Lenovo smart
display the other thing that's really great about this feature that's about
where I'm going to leave the actual work here on the phone but the other nice
thing about this feature is you can switch this per device so that's a big
differential you can have certain photos on certain devices and you can have
other photos on say the Lenovo smart display just
illustrate that Here I am using my upstairs TV which is a true chromecast
here I'm going to tap on edit ambient mode and then you can see that I have
some more features here you can see I can change the weather from Celsius to
Fahrenheit or show both if I'd like that's different from the Lenovo smart
display which was just showing show or hide on weather I can also choose the
art gallery and you're noticing that my Lenovo smart display did not change to
the art gallery it stayed with my curated Facebook content or my Facebook
content there so I think that's a pretty good run-through of ambient mode here
for your Lenovo smart display I think it's a great feature
you guys can always let me know down in the comments below but I have one thing
to tell you about here before you get going we actually have a giveaway here
on automate your life for this Lenovo smart display now this is an 8 inch
Lenovo smart display we actually have a 10 inch smart display that we're giving

EUCHARISTIE MIRACLE ... NO MIRACLE AT THE PROSTESTANTS AND EVANGELICAL ... - Duration: 2:13.By dint of looking for miracles for my videos ... I found that Protestants
and evangelical Protestants had not a lot of miracles, because not having
of statues in their church, blood, oil and tears could not flow from the eyes
of Jesus and not believing in Mary our Lady, they could not either sink
Mary's eyes ... Muslims, too, have the same problem,
they do not have a real miracle, they have miracles that are natural phenomena,
like a sea of sand that moves, a little bird that breaks his shell ...
The Orthodox, they have miracles thanks to the icons covered with oil, they
also have a religion based much on the songs ….
All religions are guided by God, they all have a role to play, the goal
being at the moment of death, souls choose God and not satan ... but
all religions are not identical, some are more complete than others ...
Eucharist miracle ...
In Poland, the miracle began the day Christmas 2013.
The priest who was sick celebrated Mass and he gave Holy Communion.
By wanting to put the host on the tongue of a parishioner, the eucharist has landed
On the ground.
According to the established procedure, I confess not know this procedure, the host
was picked up and placed in a cup with water. it had to be dissolved.
After a while, the water colored red and flesh appeared.
An investigation has been set up.
Scientists analyzed the pieces and they concluded that it was cloth
heart muscle.

Amnesia Kush feminized marijuana strain by Dinafem Seeds - Duration: 1:32.
Hello everyone. This is Jásminka, from Dinafem Seeds.
And I am with the result of mixing two icons.
The old world and the new world come together
in this cannabis plant.
She will offer you a very high effect.
But the cross between an Amnesia and a OG Kush
could never be light.
On this video I´m introducing you our Amnesia Kush.
When you take the Queen of The Netherlands
and cross her with the most beloved girl in California,
you get a dream come true.
Because the meeting of an Original Amnesia
and an OG Kush gives way to a highly regarded
cannabis cocktail with a potent effect
that goes far beyond any expectations.
This Sativa-dominant hybrid
evolves into a vibrant marijuana plant
offering a heavy yield.
If you want her to became a huge lady we recommend
lots of light, a nutrient-rich diet
and dry temperatures during the blooming.
As for the aroma, Amnesia Kush has
a really intense one,
with strong and fresh notes of citrus.
The sensation produced by this strain
is quite strong: a kind of psychedelic effect,
very powerful and cerebral.
With a THC level of about 20%,
it couldn't be otherwise.
