Partnering with landowners to restore wildlife habitat for endangered species - Duration: 2:25.
Hi, I am Carl Daubach, Executive Director of an all volunteer, not for profit group called Clifftop.
Uh, we are talking to you from Monroe County which is in southwest Illinois.
We're on the site of the Paul Wightman Subterranean Nature Preserve,
a major restoration effort launched three years ago to help Illinois's longest cave, the Fogelpole cave system.
The principal partner in this initiative is the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
They have been an invaluable support in providing cost share partnership monies
for us to begin to tackle components of this restoration effort.
Right now, we've begun non-native invasive species controls.
And you can see through your camera a major CRP prairie restoration that is also a piece
of this overarching restoration effort.
I'm Pam Dauback, Secretary/Treasurer with Clifftop Not For Profit.
Um, the restoration that we're doing here is highly beneficial for wildlife, both subterranean
animals that depend upon the water quality going through the Fogelpole cave system,
such as the Illinois cave amphipod, a federally - federally listed species, and nearly two
dozen additional globally rare cave species.
But the cave system and this property also hosts three threatened and endangered bat
species.
Our goal in the restoration is to increase plant species diversity in the hope of increasing
food sources for healthy foraging habitat for bats.
And getting rid of non-native invasive plant species,
such as bush and vine honeysuckle, is an important first step
and we thank the Partners for Fish and Wildlife Program of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Kevin: And that key change
Kevin: I just flew, like a macaw Yunyi: Oooh they just- they just skipped and they skipped
A step entirely
Hugo: I wasn't the biggest fan of that high note Gwen: Kapanaaa
Gwen: I'm not sure how the vowels work in Korean but
That could
Sing on the c- on the, vowels
Hugo: She could just use a little more breath support Gwen: Yeah
Hugo: Is what it is like the ta- the technique is there but she- if she just gave a little more
Huh hwoo
I might even wanna say- I don't wanna say sqeeze but if she just like
Hugo: kept it energized more Gwen: Like to actually sing
Hugo: Yeah then I think she- Gwen: I mean she- she's going for the sound of like light and breathy
Hugo: That's true

Henry: In a major key Emiel: DAaaa duuhhh
Lindsey: Oh- ah- and now he's got an electric guitar in the shower or something
Kevin: I want that guy
How much does he cost to hire
As like, background musician for like a day
kevin th-that wasn't even in time! yunyi: The glissando didn't sync!
Yunyi: It's fine, it's fine Kevin: It was great, no that's what that- that's the charm
Shimon: Iced tea
Yunyi: String players rippin away
Both: Oh modulation Naoki: THaaaa- that makes it more interesting
Kevin: Oh we missed that key change
I was gonna ri- rise from my chair again
Naoki: They use a glissando like the strings to like do their modulation so it seems less sudden I guess
Fiona: He could be the soundtrack of my life
Henry: When you like f*** up he just tries to play an instrument he can't play Emiel: Ahah!
Henry: And it's just like Fiona: Mee at music school
Hugo: I get the feeling every time she goes up to those high notes she's probably gonna go flat Gwen: Yeah cuz they're- they're getting higher and higher so we're- we're getting scared
Hugo: I'm just waiting for it to go flat
Hugo: Like i'm just- my Gwen: I mean that was
Hugo: Yeah
Yunyi: See they're still teasing us cuz- Kevin: She's very good at the moi thing
Yunyi: Cuz they're going one
Major 1, flat 2, major 1 Kevin: Yeah
Yunyi: So they're teasing us with the modulation Kevin: Uhuh well from the beginning it was augmented tee taag
Gwen: She's so pretty
Kevin: Brass
Kevin: I don't care if it's real or not, it's good Yunyi: It's reaall, it's gotta be real
Umu: It's real Kevin: It could be just a sample Yunyi: Where did it go
Emiel: Oh man this is like Broadway disco it keeps modulating to every freaking key in the book Henry: *Whistle* Hahhahahaha it keeps modulating
Yunyi: *Gaasspp*
Fiona: I really do enjoy her voice though
Emiel: Her voice is good though Fiona: Yeah it's like velvety
Davis: It's like I can't love you and the bird
Lindsey: HAHAHAHHA
Emiel: That was her trying to get it out not belt it Henry: They were going to and then they didn't
Emiel: I told you this is like Broadway
OOAAAHHH
Emiel: No again Henry: AAOOOOWWWWW
Fiona: I feel like her- she's gonna like explode if she goes any higher
Davis: Damn
She had the range
Did not think- did not think she she would have the range for that note but Both: She did
Emiel: Nice picardy third there
Hugo: It was good until she went up to a higher note and it was less good Gwen: and it was less good and then she released it and went Uhgu
Lindsey: There were just so many things
that happened in that song
Kevin: It's not traditionally Yunyi: Piano postlude
Shimon: The sound of snow does not sound- Naoki: Oh wait not she's gonna like
Fall in love with the music guy
Cuz you know who doesn't love musicians right
Emiel: It's snowing you can't play outside when it's snowing
Fiona: He's playing the snow
Yunyi: I like these fourths
Kevin: I like- Yunyi: chordal harmonies should be used more often
Umu: Yaay Fiona: Striinnngsss Henry: I'm really hungry
Umu: That's fine you guys are- Emiel: Aaannndd you're still on her roof that's weird
Fiona: That's s- I- Uh- ok I don't wann- Henry: Creepy dude
Kevin: or could you say pLANING outro
Yunyi: Well, yeah yeah Kevin: Cuz like it just- it just goes down yeah
Kevin: Nice
Naoki: So we just scored ourselves some pringles so that we would talk (Wow)
Shimon: I like- I like that. I like that one Naoki: yeah Umu: Mkay
Davis: The orchestration was- was one thing I was thinking about the whole time cuz it was like, it was really thicc
Davis: You know you had strings, you had horns that weren't fake Lindsey: She thicc
Davis: Were not samples of a- they were real instruments which I always will be a fan of
Davis: umm Lindsey: Well yeah
Davis: So I- and then that's sorta what kind of like directed me towards that like musical theater comment
was I was like you know this is- this is definitely- it seems like an orchestration that she's singing over
So, they did really good
Naoki: I like the storyline aspect of it Shimon: Yeah
Umu: Mhm
Naoki: And the music was pretty- Shimon: Oh god
Umu and Naoki: Hahha
Yunyi: Musically I think that was one of the best ones we've seen
Umu: I'm curious like how can you tell when like
the notes aren't very good when they're high
Hugo: When you hear a singer and it's just a little bit of a weaker sound it's cuz they're not engaging their breath mechanism correctly
And then they're not connected to their breath so they're not gonna be just as vocally
Present
Gwen: And honestly if they're singing a high note without vibrato it's probably b-bad
Umu: Oh Hugo: Bbad
Gwen: Pff sorry, it's probably bad because vibrato happens naturally when you have air support Hugo: Yeah
Gwen: So in taking it out
You're- you can do it the right way
Hugo: It uses more muscle to have straight tone than it does to have- use vibrato Gwen: Yeah
Hugo: Vibrato is naturally occurring while straight tone is not
Gwen: So you can do straight tone, you can support straight tone and have it actually be straight tone
But most people when they think- do straight tone they just think don't have vibrato
And so then it- they just take out the air support that causes vibrato and then you're like hwarjar Umu: Right Hugo: Yeah
Hugo: Alright Gwen: Alwright
Yunyi: Cuz whoever the arranger is needs to like
Aww they need to win some kind of an award for this
That was arranged so well
Umu: Yeah what did you guys think
Henry: It was ok, incredo disco, had Fiona: It was ok, very dosco-ey, kinda painfully disco-ey Emiel: That was super disco-ey
henry: featured all the keys ever
Henry: Like Emiel: I'm not gonna lie Broadway music that modulates to every key in the book is not necessarily my taste of music but it grooved
Emiel: But it grooved, like a disco tune Henry: It did groove
Umu: So in the one you're about to see is actually my favorite
Umu: This next one it's really- it's real- Kevin: I feel like if this song didn't have the modulations then we still would've appreciated it quite a bit
just cuz it was so well mixed Yunyi: Yeah just because of the writing
Kevin: But of course just, pulling an early modulation when the first chorus comes and then not letting you down by the end is- is
Kevin: Quite- Ohh yeah hah Yunyi: Literally not letting you down
Yunyi: Cuz they don't- they never modulate back down afterwards

A Tribute to Bathsheba Everdene - Duration: 5:43.
Liddy: Hey Bathsheba, I um, I promise this is not
another attempt at an intervention, but
I wanted to make this video just so you
know we all support and appreciate you.
You know I've said a million times how
boring Weatherbury is but... since you've
arrived everything's been a little bit more exciting.
That's not just because
you're sophisticated and cool and all
that... you've been a real friend to me and
that means a lot.
So, just so you know,
I've got your back and if you want to go
all "Goodbye Earl" on Frank's arse then
(tongue click) I'm in.
Jenn: Hey there The Queen of Sheeba.
I know it's
no secret that we haven't always been the best of friends.
But, if i'm honest,
since you've arrived The Maltster's been completely transformed.
Seriously, everyone in the
village is really impressed with you.
So don't let this wanker bring you down
, you've got better things to do.
Boldwood: Bathsheba. I know that we haven't been
spending as much time together since...
You are a phenomenal young woman and you
deserve everything that life and love has to offer.
I hope that we will grow
closer has the years pass, and that you
will come to realize that there are many
people in your life who care very deeply for you.
Sherry: Hi Bathsheba, don't know you incredibly
well but I can honestly say you're the most confident and hardworking person
I've ever been briefly acquainted with.
Keep your head up, we're rooting for you!
Henri: Bonjour Bathsheba... I'm just going to get
to the point. Tou're hot. And I mean a
proper 10.
And there ain't many of those around.
So, if you're ever looking for a rebound...
Liddy: Henri you're supposed to be encouraging her!
Henri: Oh I'm encouraging her.
I'm encouraging you.
Okay. Fine (clears throat)
You're smart. You're funny
, you take no shit and you run the fuck out of that pub.
I mean you're even out my league and,
since I'm the most eligible bachelor
around here, you're definitely out Frank's.
I mean God, I'm french!
Liddy: Sorry Bathsheba, can't do a thing with him.
Gabriel: I know I haven't been... great about all this lately.
There are things I should
have told you and things I definitely shouldn't have said.
(Sigh) I dunno. It's just hard
when you see someone you care about getting hurt and...
Anyway, I'm not going to
give you any advice or anything.
I just want to tell you that I'm here for you
Always will be.
Maryann: Bath, I'm so sorry to see you
feeling miserable.
But we all know you'll come through this
stronger than ever.
You know, there's a quote I love by Johnny Cash, he said:
"Close the door on your past.
You don't try to forget about
your mistakes but... don't dwell on it.
You don't have to let it have any of
your energy, or any of your time
or any of your space."
and I think that's just brilliant
Because... shit happens
but you don't have to let it define you.
Trust yourself , and YOU define you.
Joe: Bathsheba! it's me... Joe!
Well, er, of course
you-you know that because this is a video!
Anyway...
Bathsheba: You're a good, kind person.
You're smart and dedicated
and you don't deserve to feel the awful way
you're feeling right now.
I know this won't mean much coming from me or
any of the others until you decide to believe it yourself but
For the record,
it's all true.
Liddy: (Amongst general chatter) Okay everyone, on three, yeah?
One, two
Jenn: This is so cheesy.
Liddy: Three!
Everyone: We support Bathsheba Everdene!
(Liddy whistles the Mockingjay theme)

The Organs of Homeostasis (Biology for O'Level) - Duration: 2:22.
hi guys my name is Sharmin jahan. I'm
your biology teacher. Today I am going to
talk about the organs of homeostasis.
your skin helps keep your body within 1
degree Celsius either side of 37 degree
Celsius and Sweat glands let your
body lose excess heat and cool down and
layer of fat under your skin helps keep
heat inside your body and the Shivering
action of muscles generates extra heat to
warm you up in cold weather and the
fur of hairy animals traps a layer
of warm air next to the skin like the
clothes you wear and without clothes, your body
can only keep at 37 degrees Celsius in
the year temperature stays above 27
degree Celsius and you liver and
pancreas together control the amount of
glucose in your blood and tissue fluid.
If the glucose level falls below normal
and glands in the pancreas and
produced the hormone glucagon this
is which makes the liver release glucose
into the blood if there is too much
glucose in the blood these glands
release the hormone insulin which makes
that liver and remove glucose from the
blood the liver also controls the amount
of amino acids, and removes poison
from blood and these are and it makes
heat to help keep the body warm and
your kidneys this is I keep a blood and
tissue food clean by removing urea
and access water and other wastes, and
excreting them and these controls the
amount of amount of dissolved substance
in the blood and tissue fluid a process
called awesome regulations so guys I
hope that's all. Thank you very much

Blue Promise: Health Benefits for Pet Owners - Duration: 3:48.
[Music]
DAN: Did you know that adding a dog
to your home could have a positive
benefit on your health?
Hello I'm Dr. Dan McCoy
and welcome to Blue Promise
I'm here today with
Carianne Fisher from Therapet
We're going to talk about dogs
in your home
So we have a dog and it's had
A positive impact on our family
but we're going to talk about
how it could help your health
CARIANNE: Well if you've had a stressful day
you've probably already experienced how much
better it feels to have a wagging
tail greet you at the door after a rough day
and the unconditional love of an animal
it just already feels good to come home to
that but what's nice is there are a lot of
physical benefits and emotional benefits
to pet ownership
DAN: Ok so before we go there
most of the time on the show
I talk about evidence-based
medicine and the importance for studies
So is there evidence here or how do we
come to this conclusion?
CARIANNE: There's growing evidence
about the benefits of
pet ownership and there are
more studies being done
There's actually a organization called
The Human-Animal Bond Research Initiative
that is funding a lot more studies
a lot more evidence-based
practice around the benefits
that pet owners have
DAN: But anecdotal it makes sense that
So get some of the benefits of
having an animal in your home
Carianne: Well some of the studies
have found that by walking a dog
for example if you own a dog and
walk the dog regularly
there's a decreased incidence of obesity
and we've all heard a lot about the
difference obesity makes in terms of
health conditions there have also been
some studies that show better pain management
for people if they pet a dog
reduction in some of the more
negative impacts of some of the hormones
in our body like cortisol the stress hormone
there's been some studies showing
that decreases and also some increases
in positive hormones like oxytocin and dopamine
DAN: Ok so just so we don't
discriminate are we just talking dogs?
CARIANNE: We aren't Cats have some
great benefits as do birds
I've even seen some people experience
great benefits from iguanas and llamas
and guinea pigs and cows and horses
DAN: So really the relationship with
another animal in the home that's
really the issue?
CARIANNE: Absolutely I think the connection
Is very important animals seem to be
able to touch us in a place
where sometimes other people can't
DAN: Great okay so what's the downside?
CARIANNE: Well the one thing that's
a little tricky is there have been some
studies that show a reduction and
allergies if you're exposed to
an animal in your first year of life
but there are allergies people
do have an allergy to a cat sometimes
to various dogs Sometimes there's a
breed that might help you not have
quite the same reaction that it
can be tricky
There can also be a few
infection issues with certain things
Cat litter boxes are dangerous for
some people because of
the toxoplasmosis You know things
like that can happen and for the
most part it's mostly positive benefits
DAN: And I think also its choosing
the right animal too
The temperament is important
CARIANNE: Very important and your
schedule and your lifestyle are
very important
When picking an animal as well
you want to make sure the
sizes of an animal that it's
manageable for you
somebody with the balance problem
probably shouldn't have a very big dog
because if the dog pulls even a
little bit you can be
knocked over and I know
my dog if he turns the corner
and wags his tail
everything is off the coffee table
so you have to be careful about
those kind of things about where you live
DAN: Well it's been good for my health
to know that I have to take my dog for a
20-minute walk every night
gets me out of the house
CARIANNE: Absolutely makes a big difference
DAN: Carianne thanks for
being here and thanks for
being here for this epidode
of Blue Promise

TB or Not TB: An Innovative Gastric Collection Device for Improving Pediatric Tuberculosis Diagnosis - Duration: 3:25.
(mid-tempo music)
- TB or Not TB?
That is the question unknown to many
of the million citizens of South Africa,
where tuberculosis is the leading cause of death.
- With antibiotic treatment, the survival rate is 93%,
but effective treatment is dependent on accurate diagnosis.
Indiscriminate administration of these antibiotics
is not a feasible solution,
as it can lead to dangerous, drug-resistant strains.
Preventative vaccines remain only 40% effective.
- Given a viable bacterial sample, diagnosis can be made
using light microscopy or a gene expert device.
However, children pose a unique challenge,
as they lack the necessary muscle strength
to cough up the essential bacterial sample.
The procedures seen here,
sputum induction and gastric lavage,
are the current best in class methods
for diagnosing children,
but for the 80,000 children
infected with the disease each year,
these solutions are not good enough.
They're invasive, painful, and distressing,
and additionally average around $81 per procedure.
Both gastric lavage and sputum induction
can result aerosolization of tuberculosis particles,
require a steady source of electricity
and a trained clinician to administer.
- The difference is in our approach.
We aim to work with, rather than against the body,
by condensing the gastric lavage process
into a self-sealing smart pill
that collects a bacterial sample in the stomach.
The device is played in the upper esophagus
using a specially designed delivery tool.
A lubricant coating facilitates passage
of the device into the stomach, where the acidic environment
dissolves the basic contents of the device.
This allows the internal spring to expand
and suction tuberculosis-laden gastric acid
into the internal compartment of the device.
A tethered plug then seals off the collected sample,
preventing the bacteria loss
and enzyme entry in the intestinal tract.
Once excreted, the sample can be easily recovered
for diagnosis using a disposable syringe.
Bench testing has demonstrated that all materials used
are both bowel-compatible and acid-resistant.
On average, just one of these pills has been found
to collect over 20 times the number of bacteria required
for light microscopy diagnosis.
Bench testing has also demonstrated that each pill requires
an average of just 17 seconds to collect the sample,
and a simulated use test has demonstrated these bacteria
are easily recoverable using a disposable syringe.
Furthermore, public testing has demonstrated
that the device is completely sealed after sample collection
and a cost analysis has found a tenfold reduction
in cost materials compared to gastric lavage,
the next least expensive alternative.
- We believe these tests demonstrating safety and efficacy
will allow us to pursue animal testing, clinical trials,
and eventually regulatory clearance
for the sale of our device in South Africa.
- The World Health Organization estimates
that the global cost of TB contractivity
was $3.1 billion in 2008.
About 450,000 South Africans
are diagnosed with TB each year.
Many more are tested for TB at least once a year.
At a retail price of $25 a pill
and a market size of well over 450,000 people,
TB or Not TB will gross over $11 million a year.
Prior to the launch of TB or Not TB,
animal and clinical testing will need to be performed
to ensure safety and efficacy.
We are seeking a total of $100,000 in support
to manufacture 1,000 pills and to perform animal testing.
In exchange for your support,
we will give you 10% equity in our company.
- We expect the implementation of our device
to revolutionize TB diagnosis
in the South African pediatric population
due to its simplistic and naturally intuitive design,
improving and saving the lives of thousands.
- TB or Not TB, that is the question
that your support can help us answer.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship rock solid, actress prepares for royal duties. - Duration: 2:59.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship rock solid, actress prepares for royal duties.
There may have been some public doubt at the beginning of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle�s
relationship, but the two seem to be making things work despite the geographical distance
between the two of them. Moreover, some media outlets are claiming that the American actress
is already preparing for her royal future.
�Despite the distance, the media attention and everything else, there�s a real ease
to their relationship,� a source told People Magazine. �It just works. They are deeply
happy.� The source then went on to say that, despite her place in Hollywood, Meghan is
a down to earth person and wonderful woman overall. �It�s very easy to see why Harry
was so drawn to her.�
Meghan�s best friend, Lindsay Roth, shared the same sentiments. She applauded how the
�Suits� star has handled all the extra media attention. �We should all strive to
handle the ups and downs of our lives as gracefully, smartly, elegantly, positively, realistically
and graciously as Meg has,� she said.
Their relationship has been going so well that E! News even claimed that their engagement
is no longer a question of �Will it happen?� but is more a matter of �When will it happen?�
An insider told the publication that it is all about timing at this point as both Harry
and Meghan are ready to settle down and are in the relationship for the long haul. �Everything
has fallen into place,� they described.
Dating a royal, much less the fifth in line to the throne, is not easy. Harry�s former
girlfriend, Chelsy Davy, admitted as much in 2016. �I found it very difficult when
it was bad,� she told The Times (via Hello Magazine). �I couldn�t cope� I was trying
to be a normal kid, and it was horrible.�
Nevertheless, it seems as if Meghan is handling the pressures of dating Harry with poise and
indiscretion. Some critics questioned her motives at the beginning of the relationship
and wondered whether or not she had the ability to marry into the royal family. However, it
has since been noted that Meghan has been less vocal about her life on social media.
It is unclear at this point whether or not Harry or Meghan have plans to tie the knot,
as neither party has made any public statements about the same. However, it is speculated
that an engagement announcement may come soon. thanks for watching. please subscribe my channel.

AJ Mendez Brooks: Life advice for young women - Duration: 1:35.
I feel like it is my duty to pass along some pieces of life advice
to the next generation of women.
First, I would say, be a kid and like it.
When I was fourteen, I was wearing my brother's clothes and playing Duel Monsters and talking
about Dragon Ball Z.
And now, 14-year-old girls are posting their boobs to Instagram.
So generations have changed.
I want you guys to not rush to grow up - there's nothing out there besides paying your bills,
and buying prophylactics without blushing.
Take your time, take your time.
It just gets harder.
Next, I would say, never fit in.
Fitting in is basically resigning yourself to inferiority.
Who wants to just follow somebody else?
Let me tell you something, here's a secret to life: people just wanna follow someone.
So if you're confident enough, idiots will just blindly do whatever you do!
So be confident, be weird, be different.
Everyone will just try to be you!
And last, but certainly not least, have some selfie-respect.
Look I know this is the social media generation and you guys are just taking selfies left and right.
I want you to stop...and think...before you take a selfie.
Think to yourself: is this the picture I want the news to use if I go missing tomorrow?
Cuz it's gonna be!
Think about it...

Actors Who Permanently Damaged Their Bodies For A Role - Duration: 10:36.
Many actors are willing to transform themselves for roles, from gaining and losing weight,
to wearing prosthetics, and more. But for some actors, taking on the ultimate film role
means going to extremes — sometimes even permanently hurting their bodies in the process.
Here are some actors who've earned some serious, albeit sometimes invisible, scars for their
art.
Jared Leto in Chapter 27
As we've come to know very well at this point, Jared Leto is a method actor who doesn't hold
back when it comes to transforming his body. He's lost major weight for films such as Requiem
for a Dream and his Oscar-winning turn in Dallas Buyers Club. But it was actually gaining
weight for the 2007 indie film Chapter 27 that really did a number on the actor. Playing
Mark Chapman, the man who shot and killed John Lennon, Leto admitted he gained so much
weight so abruptly that he suffered gout.
Leto revealed that the weight gain hurt his body so much, towards the end he couldn't
even walk. He told The Los Angeles Times, "I had a definite problem with my feet. Towards
the end of the shoot, one of the glaring issues was the pain I had with my feet. I couldn't
walk for long distances. I had a wheelchair because it was so painful. My body was in
shock from the amount of weight I gained. It took about a year to get back to a place
that felt semi-normal. I don't know if I'll ever be back to the place I was physically."
Hey, at least dying his hair green and putting in metal teeth to play the Joker in Suicide
Squad left no indelible marks — well except for on his career.
"I'm just gonna hurt you really really bad."
Tom Hanks in Philadelphia and Cast Away
The affable Tom Hanks isn't necessarily known to be one of those actors who loses himself
in roles, but he has gone to a few extremes here and there — and has won two Oscars
for his efforts. In both the 1993 drama Philadelphia, in which he plays a lawyer diagnosed with
AIDS, and the 2000 survival pic Cast Away, Hanks had to lose a lot of weight during the
shoot.
Thanks to the forced fluctuation, and his own genetics of course, the actor revealed
that he was later diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes. He said that he probably won't be taking on
any more roles which require him to drastically change his size as a result of these experiences.
George Clooney in Syriana
While George Clooney didn't have to undergo much of a physical transformation for his
Oscar-winning role in 2005's Syriana, he still experienced a real headache during the making
of the movie. While filming a torture scene for the political thriller, the actor cracked
his head open during a stunt and severely injured his spine.
He told Rolling Stone at the time that the pain from the injury was so bad, he considered
taking his own life. "I was at a point where I thought, 'I can't exist like this. I can't
actually live.' I was lying in a hospital bed with an IV in my arm, unable to move,
having these headaches where it feels like you're having a stroke, and for a short three-week
period, I started to think, 'I may have to do something drastic about this.'"
Doctors couldn't quite pinpoint where the injury was at first — they clearly weren't
as good as his ER alter ego, Doug Ross — but finally noticed fluid leaking from Clooney's
spine, and realized that the condition was more serious than anyone had thought. The
actor revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that he was forced to take strong pain medication
as part of a long process and eventually turned to pain management for help dealing with his
chronic discomfort. But he'll never again be 100 percent. "I've gone from where I can't
function… to, 'I've got a bad headache'… My ears will literally pop and my head goes
apes***. But I'm scrappy."
"I'm not kidding because I think I've crossed the line"
Sylvester Stallone in The Expendables 3
As a longtime action movie star, Sylvester Stallone knows a thing or two about cuts,
bruises, broken bones — the whole shebang. In fact, he once joked that he grades the
quality of his movies by how badly he got hurt making them. So, sufficed it to say,
he's certainly experienced more than his fair share of pain on the set of movies, including
a permanent injury on the set of The Expendables 3, in which he reprised his role as mercenary
Barney Ross. The action star suffered a nasty fall on the set that left him in need of spinal
surgery.
"That hurts"
But believe it or not, Stallone's injuries weren't even the scariest from that film set.
Co-star Jason Statham almost lost his life during production: while he was driving a
truck on a loading dock, the brakes failed and the truck plunged 60 feet into the Black
Sea. Thankfully, Statham — who once competed as an Olympic diver — was able to get free
and swim to safety. And here you thought those shoot-'em-up-bang-bang blockbusters were totally
just pretend.
Linda Hamilton in Terminator 2: Judgment Day
Linda Hamilton's badass turn as Sarah Connor in 1991's Terminator 2 set a precedent for
female action stars to follow. She took the role very seriously, training her tail off
to play the hardcore mother of the leader of the future world. But for all the fight
sequences and stunt work, it's hard to bounce back when a shotgun blast goes off near your
ear. While shooting the scene in which Sarah is trying to escape the psych ward and has
to reluctantly accept help from the new and improved Terminator, the actress forgot to
put her earplugs back in after a take. When Schwarzenegger let off a round in the elevator,
trying to stop the T-1000, the amplified sound caused Hamilton permanent hearing loss. Of
course, Hamilton wasn't the first action star to get hurt from guns shooting blanks.
Bruce Willis in Die Hard
That's right: the same type of injury also befell the man who played John McClaine while
he was making his action thriller breakthrough, Die Hard. According to the actor, after firing
off a fateful round, he suffered "two-thirds partial hearing loss" in his left ear. He
added that now has the "tendency to say, 'Whaaa?'" His daughter Rumer Willis even said the reason
her dad isn't as talkative while promoting a movie is because he sometimes struggles
to hear the questions. That explains a lot. Or...does it?
"He's …"
"I dreamed I was on a boat"
Michelle Yeoh in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
It comes as no surprise that Michelle Yeoh injured herself during the spectacular Crouching
Tiger, Hidden Dragon. With all the incredible stunt choreography involved, there had to
be a misstep.
"I think in life you must make a choice. Either you do it or you don't."
Indeed, at one point during filming, Yeoh landed wrong and her knee gave out. Sure enough,
the action star completely tore an ACL in her knee. Yeoh had to have surgery and months
of physical therapy. And while she was able to recover, she admitted, "You never get all
the way back to what it was."
Angelina Jolie in Salt
Angelina Jolie is another star who never does any of her action movies half-assed — especially
her 2010 spy thriller Salt. Jolie played a CIA officer accused of being a Russian spy
who must prove her innocence while on the run. To prep for fight scenes, Jolie had to
learn a combination of Muay Thai and Krav Maga, which she did during two-hour sessions
three to four times a week. Some of her stunts included jumping off a highway underpass onto
a moving truck. But amazingly, that wasn't the scene that literally scarred her for life.
Speaking at Comic-Con at the time, she said it happened during a scene which involved
her rolling onto the floor — and left her with a permanent scar. Her stunt trainer Simon
Crane told Us Weekly, "During her final fight with Liev [Schrieber] … She had to dive
through an opening door firing a gun … as she carried the sequence on, she rushed into
a corner piece of a set and bumped her head." The injury left a permanent mark, or so they
say. Not that anyone can tell.
Daniel Craig in Spectre
British actor Daniel Craig's time playing James Bond has left him with his fair share
of injuries, as the stunts became more elaborate with each film. In Casino Royale, two of his
teeth were accidentally knocked out during his first stunt and had to be capped, and
in Quantum of Solace, he suffered several injuries. There was a blow to his face that
required plastic surgery, and he was rushed to hospital after slicing off the top of his
finger. He also tore a muscle in his shoulder, and suffered badly bruised ribs.
But it was Craig's time on Spectre that did some permanent damage. While filming a fight
scene with the hulking villain Mr. Hinx, he injured his knee. It required surgery and
threatened to halt filming for six months, but Craig didn't want to wait and put off
the surgery, working through the pain. He told Empire,
"This has been a two-year process since we began talking about the script. It gets to
this point and you say: 'We can shut down for six months and you can go have surgery
and come back then.' I was like: "F— that." I don't give a f—. Stick two planks of wood
on it and I'll f—ing crack on."
Crack on he did, and in the end, production was stopped for only two weeks. Craig has
since had a few surgeries to repair his knee, and has joked he'll only keep playing 007
as long as his knees hold out.
Jackie Chan in...basically all of his movies
Kung Fu legend Jackie Chan has never held back and views any injury he sustains while
filming a stunt as just part of the gig. It's the one reasons Chan is considered a true
hero of the martial arts genre.
"I hear the crack"
"I look at my feet. Upside down"
"Then the cameraman, 'Are you OK?'"
"I'm OK, did you get the shot?"
He's broken fingers, his nose, ankles, his tailbone, even his hip; he's dislocated his
shoulders more than few times and suffered multiple concussions and spinal injuries.
The injury list is as long as his resume.
However, there's one particularly serious boo-boo that made a lasting impression on
his banged-up body. During the shoot for Armour of God , he was supposed to do what was a
"simple" stunt jump, but he was so hurt by the maneuver that he had to have brain surgery
which included the permanent implantation of a metal plate.
Even so, Chan's movie momentum, and commitment to doing his own stunt work, has never wavered.
Chan's the champ!
