Waching daily Apr 14 2017

His last two albums went platinum with no features

and now it looks like J Cole's also closing up shop when it comes to being featured on other rapper's

projects as well.

So that's it rappers.

No more hitting him the "Can I get a verse, bro?"

J Cole may be out the guest verse game after Joey Badass' "Legendary", but was this

move inevitable?

Let's look at his guest feature numbers through the years.

J. Cole put in work in 2011, shelling out more verses than he ever did before or after.

That's also an important year and may explain why Jermaine's been on the road to isolation

since.

2011, not just the year J. Cole dropped the most guest verses, but also the year he dropped

his debut album, Cole World: Sideline Story.

That project, which was also the last time he included rap features, was a success numbers

wise, debuting at #1 & selling 218k first week, but according to Cole, it was the worst

time he's had making music.

2013 gave us Born Sinner, where Cole only used sung features, even Kendrick who was

on the album, sang, no raps.

And Cole's verses as a featured artist went down to seven.

Most notably, Drake's "Jodeci Freestyle."

2014 Forest Hills Drive did so with no features at all and just five Cole guest verses out

to the world including Maroon 5's "Animals" remix.

Then there's 2016 4 Your Eyez Only, another no features album, and Cole only lent himself

to two songs, DJ Khaled's "Jermaine's Interlude" & Bas' "Night Job."

And here we are, 2017…

J. Cole's alleged last feature given to Joey Badass' "Legendary."

I'm Letty for Genius News, bringing you the meaning and breaking knowledge behind

the music.

See you next time.

Best Practices for Online Science Education Using YouTube - Duration: 16:09.

I called this presentation "Best Practices for Online Science Education Using YouTube."

as this is a quick overview of what I've learned over the last 5 years that I've been using video lectures for my courses here at Utah State University,

and how to make better lecture videos for education, particularly in science, but this can be applied to other disciplines as well.

A better title for this presentation would be "10 things I wish I knew about making YouTube videos lectures before I got started."

And I hope these tips and ideas will be useful to you.

When I was first asked to design an online class, and later when I develop some flipped classes, I was scared out of my mind.

Because I had never taken an online class or been in a flipped classroom before, so I knew very little about how to make one.

I did what most educators do, I enrolled in a free Massive Open Online Class or MOOC,

I choose my own discipline in paleontology, and took a class on Dinosaurs offered through the University of Alberta,

and it was the worst idea.

Why?

Well I knew a lot about the subject to begin with, so as I worked through the course I critiqued everything about it,

as I was already an expert in the subject itself, it was too easy and I was actually very bored during the class,

and skipped ahead all the time, because I was not learning along with the other students.

My suggestion is instead to find a discipline that you know very little about.

Say you always wanted to learn French, start by watching YouTube videos about learning French.

Or maybe you want to learn to cook Indian Food.

One of the things that you will notice as you learn more about the topic, is that there will be some online educators in the subject that will be very good,

and many that are not very good at presenting the information.

Start focusing on why you watch this particular video, and not this other one.

Why are you learning more from Mrs. X and not Mr. Y.

If you don't know what to subject to learn more about,

I suggest learning filmmaking, or video editing as a great start,

because that is really what you do when you put together video lectures. You become a film maker.

When I first started, I sat down and outlined all my lessons,

then filled them in with a script, writing out an outline of what I would say in each lesson.

However, this took a very very long time, and I was under a lot of pressure to record as many lectures as quickly as possible.

So, I quickly abandoned the idea of scripting everything I was going to say,

and just recorded myself, basically like I was in a classroom,

using powerpoint, and talking through the lesson without a script.

This lead to problems later on.

First, you will likely have a deaf student, or a student who'se second language is English,

and you will need to provide close captions to your videos.

This is really easy if you wrote a script,

but hard if you don't have a script and need to transcribe everything.

Second, if you have a coughing fit,

you burp, or your microphone does not work,

or if you get interrupted with a phone call while recording

then you have a script to go back to and can quickly re-record your video.

And finally, you have a record of what you said during the video.

When writing an exam, you can review what you said, and build an exam or quiz question around your lesson much easier than if you did not use a script.

Yes, it takes a longer time up front,

in fact about 60% of my time is writing out what I am going to say in a lesson, 39% is editing the video, and 1% is filming it,

but I found having a script very useful and worth the time.

O.K. you have a script now, and you want to record your lecture

but you don't want to just read the script and sound like a boring professor going on and on.

Instead you need to learn how to act.

And the secret to acting is interaction.

In teaching, you need to provide a dynamitic relationship between you and your students.

This may seem impossible when recording a lecture alone to a camera.

I found one useful tip:

imagine the camera lens is your student,

or even better a person that you care deeply about,

and is very passionate in learning about your subject.

Some of the best online educational videos are made when the expert in the field is talking

to the person actually holding the camera who is interested in the subject and is a student themselves.

For example, a father teaching a son, or older sister teaching her younger sister.

This develops an intimate feeling in your lessons, and a kindness that your students will enjoy, because they feel important and care for during the learning process.

When I got started recording my lectures, I used what equipment I had.

First I used the Camera built into my laptop, and sometimes my camera phone.

I edited the videos using Camtasia, our using the video editing software that came with my computer, like iMovie.

This was o.k., but the first thing after the first semester I did was to get a better microphone,

about $100 as my voice was crackly with the onboard microphone, and I got an $150 HD video camera,

that I put on my computer and plugged in with a UCB. Both of these were about $250 investment.

I should've not spent this money, as it was only a minor improvement over what I had already.

Later I invested in about $2,500 with a nice DLSR camera with various lens, and a nice set of microphones.

And the difference between spending $250 verses $2,500 in my videos was very apparent.

I fell in love with my Canon 70DS camera, and set of lenses I use.

I mostly use a wide-angle lens 14mm, and my stock Canon lens that zooms between 18 and 135 mm.

I also fell in love with my microphones, I have a RODE microphone, but also use a clipped microphone.

This upgrade made my videos look and sound much more professional.

When I started recording videos, I would record in my office, and I had some little lights that I would place on either side of me.

But I had a large window next to me, which would change the lighting during my recording.

If I recorded a video at night: it was dark. If I recorded in the morning: it was light.

If it took me all day to record a video, it would be both light and dark.

And I tried all sorts of things, putting sheets up to cover the sunlight, recorded at different spots in my office.

What I finally discovered, was that I should record my videos in a windowless room,

and have two small table lamps turned away from me and turn off overhead florescent lights.

This means that when I record a video the light remains the same, and will not change.

I turn the lights away from my face so that they reflect off the walls in the room, and provide a nice cool smooth lighting.

So lighting needs to be considered before you start filming, and played with until it is ideal.

If you are filming outside, try to film in the morning at sunrise or evening at sunset, and face-toward the general direction of the sun.

Always be aware of the light.

There are two things I am addicted to,

coffee in the morning, and Powerpoint.

I rely very heavily on using Powerpoint in my lectures, mostly as a prompt for what I am going to say next.

I still use Powerpoint in my classes that I have not developed video lectures for,

and most of my older videos you will find that I am using Powerpoint,

and would film myself as a floating head or window overlaid on my Powerpoint slides,

using a video screen capture and camera on my laptop.

The reason I stopped using Powerpoint was that I started recording myself using an external Camera not running through my computer,

and it was technically too much work to capture a Powerpoint presentation and my video at the same time.

And I switched to using Adobe Premiere for video editing needs,

basically because I was learning more about film making, and liked some of the features in that editing software over what I was using before.

When I started recording videos the dimensions of the box that I recorded was not 1920 x 1080 pixels.

This produced black bars on either side of my videos.

You should record using a 16:9 ratio,

otherwise there will be black lines on either side of the video when you upload your video into YouTube.

These bars are not the end of the world, but not as cool as using all the space on the screen.

When I first started, I did not make thumbnails for my videos.

Thumbnails are smaller images which are displayed when you video is not playing.

So, it is the default image shown before a student plays the video.

If you don't make a thumbnail for your video YouTube it gives you three choices of screen shots to use.

And I would just choose one.

There are three settings when uploading a video into YouTube.

Private, only you can see the video when login in to your free account.

This might be a good setting when you first upload videos and want to review it before making it go live to students.

Another thing under this setting is invite people using their email address

Unlisted, only those viewers who have a direct URL link can view the video

This is the best choice if you want only your students to view the video.

How you do it is that you embed the video into a Canvas page.

The general public on YouTube will not see your video show up in any feed or internet search

and only people who have the direct URL address to the file will see the video.

And finally, you could make the video public,

which means that everyone in the world can see your video,

and find it on the YouTube website and comment on it.

Alright, the previous suggestion was on how to control your audience,

now I'm suggesting that you make most if not all of your videos public.

This took me a while to adopt.

This does not mean that everyone is going to rush in and watch your video.

When I first started making my lecture videos public, I would get about 10 to 20 views.

And a class with 30 students would raise that count to 50 views

However, over time my videos started getting viewed more and more and my total view counts started to get upwards and beyond 1,000 views per video,

and I started getting comments basically every day from people around the world.

Last fall, I went to an international meeting of scientists in Salt Lake, and many people,

especially professionals in my discipline came up to me and spoke with me about the videos that I had made public on YouTube.

I had a high school student interested in studying paleontology come up to me, as well as a professor in Africa who used my lectures in his classes.

All of them had seen my videos.

It was scary, but I realized that there was a global audience to the content I was providing.

Although not a large audience, the people who are watching the videos were people that would not be able to get the information

from their particular location, they may not have access to a library or maybe miles from a university or college, but are interested in the subject that I was teaching about.

I feel that I'm an ambassador for the university to the world and work really hard to make the videos as professional as possible,

and hopefully inspired you to make video content for your own courses.

Plan For Pipeline To Keep White Bear Lake Water Levels High - Duration: 3:02.

WATCHED STATION, THIS

IS WCCO 4 NEWS.

HELLO, THANKS FOR JOINING

US.

WHITE BEAR LAKE IS ON THE RISE,

THANKS IN PART TO

LAST SEASON'S RECORD RAINFALL

AND DECLINING GROUND

WATER USE.

BUT IT DOESN'T DIMINISH

CONCERNS AFTER THE LAKE

DROPPED MORE THAN 6 FEET TO THE

LOWEST EVER

RECORDED.

THE DROP LEFT DOCKS HIGH AND

DRY, CLOSING BEACHES,

AND FRIGHTENING HOMEOWNERS.

NOW PLANS ARE IN THE BOXER FOR

A SOLUTION SO IT

DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

BILL HUDSON IS ALONG THE

POPULAR LAKE FRONT TO

EXPLAIN WHAT THAT PLAN ENTAILS,

BILL.

THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.

REPORTER: IT IS

UNBELIEVABLE.

I GUESS YOU COULD CALL IT A BIT

OF PIE IN THE SKY AT

THIS POINT, BUT A BIT CLOSER TO

GETTING SERVED UP.

THE PLAN REALLY WOULD BE

PUMPING THROUGH A PIPELINE,

ABOUT A 4 AND A HALF MILE

PIPELINE OUT HERE INTO

WHITE BEAR LAKE.

STILL IT NEEDS A LOT OF

APPROVAL AND TENNESSEES OF

MILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING.

FOR NEARLY A DECADE, THE WATER

LEVELS ON WHITE BEAR

LAKE HAVE BEEN ON A WILD RIDE,

STRANDING DOGS AND

STARTLING HOMEOWNERS IN 2013,

THE LAKE HAD FALLEN

MORE THAN 6 FEET FROM AVERAGE

TO ITS LOWEST LEVEL

EVER RECORDED.

HEY, IT'S NICE IN THE

SPRING.

WHAT'S IT GOING TO BE LIKE WHEN

WE HIT THE DOG DAYS

OF JULY AND AUGUST?

REPORTER: BUT COMPARE

PICTURES FROM THE LAKE

FOUR YEARS AGO.

WHITE BEAR LAKE IS BOUNCING

BACK.

STILL THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT

RISE CONTINUES.

IT'S UP A LITTLE BIT, BUT

THAT WATER SHOULD BE

OVER THE ROAD.

WE'VE GOT A RIFFRAFF WALL IN

THERE IT'S NOT EVEN

CLOSE TO NOW.

REPORTER: PROMPTED BY

LAWSUITS AND SETTLEMENTS,

THE DNR WAS INSTRUCTED BY

LAWMAKERS TO EXPLORE

SOLUTIONS.

A PIPELINE TO BRING WATER INTO

THE LAKE DURING

CRITICALLY LOW TIMES

WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE

EVERYBODY TAKING THE TIME

TO BE HERE.

REPORTER: TO PAY,

STAKEHOLDERS GOT THEIR FIRST

LOOK AT THE PLAN A24-INCH

PIPELINE THAT WILL PUMP

WATER FROM NEARBY -- LAKE ABOUT

4 MILES AWAY,

INCLUDING FROM 1 TO 2 BILLION

GALLONS OF FRESH WATER

INTO WHITE BEAR EACH YEAR.

FOLKS THAT ARE INTERESTED IN

THIS, THEY'RE

LOOKING AT SORT OF THE LONG-

TERM, WHEN DOES THE NEXT

DROUGHT CYCLE HAPPEN?

WE UNDERSTAND THAT.

YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT'S WHY

THE LEGISLATURE ASKED

US TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WOULD A

PROJECT LIKE THIS

ACTUALLY COST?

REPORTER: THAT CURRENT

ESTIMATE IS ROUGHLY

$45 MILLION.

MOSTLY INSURANCE TO FIGHT

FUTURE DECLINE.

NOW, I SHOULD POINT OUT, TOO,

IT WAS NOT THE DNR

THAT REQUESTED THIS ENGINEERING

STUDY TO BE

PERFORMED; IT WAS ACTUALLY

STATE LAWMAKERS.

SO THEY'RE THE ONES THAT ARE

GOING TO HAVE TO SIGN

OFF ON IT AND FUND IT IF

NECESSARY.

AGAIN, ABOUT 42 $45 MILLION,

SOMEWHERE IN THERE.

AND EVEN IF THEY DID GIVE FIT

GO AHEAD AND ALL THE

SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES GAVE IT

THE GO AHEAD --

COUNCIL, IT WOULD TAKE PROBABLY

A FEW YEARS BEFORE

THIS THING GETS GOING.

THEY'RE ESTIMATING ANYWHERE

BETWEEN FIVE AND EIGHT

YEARS BEFORE WE SEE ANY RESULT.

I THINK FOLKS ARE HAPPY WE HAD

THE RAINFALL, THE

GROUND WATER IS COMING BACK UP,

AND THIS LAKE IS

FILLING UP NICELY.

We'll help you find your bliss

and make sure it stays organized.

There are also ways to keep your

indoors just as comfortable.

Help on how to choose the

right HVAC system for your home.

Plus a carpet that helps fight against

allergens and a way to keep Fido safe

when he's in the yard.

Mortgage 101

continues.

Today's lesson, renovation loans.

So let's get planning (Music)

Creating the perfect backyard doesn't

take a magic genie.

It just takes a little

know-how and the right pieces.

You know the saying, to the victor goes

the spoils.

what better to spoil yourself than with

a hammock and today we have our very own

Victor.

Hi I'm Debi Marie and joining me

on this edition of Designing Spaces is

Victor Sabbagh he is with Blis Hammocks.

and he's an expert at creating

the perfect backyard.

Victor, so happy

to have you here today.

Thank You Debbie.

It's great to be here.

So Victor what did

you bring today to show us how to relax

and find your bliss?

okay, well we brought a

few items but for starters this is our

gravity free chair.

Oh this is beautiful.

Yeah it's very very comfortable.

Why do they call it gravity free

though.

Because when you're sitting in a fully

reclined position.

Yeah.

It reduces the g-force on

your body to make you feel like you're

floating on air.

Okay I have to try that

then.

I want to feel that way ahh.

Oh my goodness you were not lying.

Not at all it's really comfortable.

This is so comfortable.

what's great about it is your legs are

elevated above your heart so you're

increasing your blood circulation,

gravity-free chair is cradling your back,

it's giving you that feeling that you're

floating on air and puts less stress on

your body.

Doctors recommend this

position as the best way to sit.

I could see why, this is so comfortable

so you're actually doing something good

for yourself and relaxing at the

same time.

That's right.

I have to ask you I noticed

that there's some Hammocks over there

that's near and dear to my heart.

We could take them out?

Absolutely my

favorite too.

It will be hard to beat

this, I gotta say.

So we've brought a few

different styles with us today this

one's called a hammock in a bag.

And this style goes back thousands of years.

It's extremely portable so you can

take it to the beach, you to take a

camping.

The kids take them to festivals.

They're really trendy

and stylish and come in many different

stripes and different colors.

Yeah.

I love how bright it is I just love

this in my backyard.

But we don't have two trees.

That's a huge misconception Debie.

We have hammock stands in different

sizes in different colors.

So that you can put it

anywhere in your backyard, front porch or anywhere

in between.

So everyone can have a

hammock now.

Yep.

I love it.

You know I'm sitting here

I'm looking over there you brought

something that's kind of a twist on a

hammock.

It's a different style.

Yep, different style.

Let's go check it out.

I really don't

want to leave here but I do want to take

that out.

Let's go.

Now this is a

hammock chair.

This is beautiful.

Yeah it's great, it comes in

different styles and this particular version is

our Metro hammock chair series.

So it's

Cushioned, comes with armrests and it's

reversible.

So yeah, solid on one side.

That's great.

Strips on the other side and

these particular hammock chairs are

great for people who don't have enough

space to put a full-size hammock.

You still get that hammock feeling.

Right you can recline, relax, so you

have that great hammock relaxing

feeling Absolutely, it is very comfortable, it kind of

just cradles you.

I love it.

Victor I have to thank you

so much for being here today bringing us

amazing products and really showing us

how we can find the bliss and relax in

our very own backyard.

Thanks Debbie it

was a pleasure being here.

Appreciate it and thanks to all of you for

joining us today on this episode of

Designing Spaces.

I'm Debi Marie and until next

time.

Think I'm going to be sitting

here relaxing.

Bye for now (Music)

Oh our four legged friends.

We love them but we want to keep them safe,

independent and give pet owners a much needed break from

worrying.

So this

story is about to go to the dogs.

A pets behavior especially those that

threaten ia pet's safety is important to any

animal lover.

Unsafe behaviors in the

home can be anything from chasing cars,

to getting to garbage, to jumping onto

furniture.

That could damage the

furniture or harm the pet.

All dog

owners have worries when it comes to

their pets so today Designing Spaces is

learning about one effective way to keep

them safe and protected in and around

their homes.

Meet Clyde and Fozzie.

So you move into a new neighborhood, as

we did about a year ago and you want to

make a good impression on the

neighbors.

Ours was that everybody kept showing

up with our dogs in hand and wondering

whose they were.

Including the HOA president.

Sometimes what you can't see is the most

important and that's the case with

Invisible Fence.

What you can see however are a few

electronic components that help to

create an Invisible barrier designed to

keep dogs in.

The basic concept behind

Invisible Fence outdoor solutions is to

create an Invisible barrier around your

property.

That Invisible barrier is

created through a transmitter that's

usually mounted in a garage or in a

discreet location.

That sends a digital

signal throughout the cable that is

buried around the property.

That Invisible barrier is there to

remind the pet of the training that they

received once the system is first

installed.

We remember from the neighbor the

little flag that they had in their lawn

that said Invisible Fence, so of course

I just went online and I researched

Invisible Fence.

Called them up.

She had a representative over to our house

like within that next day.

The first question

that comes to mind.

how does the dog know

not to cross the Fence line?

The answer?

Training.

This is Sandy.

Lead trainer for

the Invisible Fence brand.

As a trainer,

we're making sure that your pets are as

safe and comfortable as possible.

we do go through a free test process

with them.

Checking to see if they have any sensitivity to the site, sound

and feel of the collar.

The trainer's go through

a collegiate level curriculum, developed

in collaboration with leading animal

behaviorists.

To become certified to train a

pet with the Invisible Fence system.

Becoming certified to be a Perfect Start

Plus Trainer.

All of our trainers must go

through a nine-hour online course for

dog behavior.

If you also do a two-day

classroom portion and an infield mentoring program.

We trained as long as

we needed to for them to understand the

system.

As for concerns about

possibly hurting the dogs ,there's no need

to worry.

The technology uses a sensation

that feels like when you walk across a

carpet and socks and touch a metal door knob.

It is set up and serviced by a

certified trainer and technician and can

be customized to each pet's sensitivity.

My dog has been on the system for a

few years and he's comfortable.

He lays out

in the yard and I would never put him

through something that I would'nt feel

comfortable with.

And the Invisible Fence

is not something new.

Established in 1973 they advanced as technology has.

Founder Richard Peck invented and

patented the world's first electric dog Fence

system.

Taking his passion to protect pets from

danger into a business.

This became the

Invisible Fence brand.

With over 3 million

pets protected since 1973.

Technology that is exclusive and patent to

Invisible Fence brand is our boundary

plus technology.

That technology has a

perceived endless boundary that perceived endless boundary is

time based non distance-based and it's all

done through the computer color

that's a pet wears.

We can customize your ear system

if you have multiple pets in the house

and you want to want to keep one off the

couch and the other one is allowed to

lay on the couch with you.

We can set the

collars to different settings.

So one dog stays off the couch and one dog

gets to go on there.

If you have a cat and a dog on the

system, you can keep the dog out of the

litter box and the cat has that access

to the litter box. to get more information on all the solutions

that Invisible Fence brand offers or

to schedule a no obligation free

consultation.

Visit our website at

InvisibleFence.com To be able to not

worry that they're going to take off and

go down to the beach or the neighbor's

house and we're going to get a call from

the HOA.

It's just been such a relief we

love that part of it so much.

It just works for us and our family and

our dynamic greatly.

Coming up: The first carpet system,

desiged to help you fight

allergens.

Looking to renovate?

Stay with us for tips on how you can

refinance.

(Music)

(Music) Airborne allergies.

They are more common

than you think.

In fact the Asthma and

Allergy Foundation say an estimated 50

million Americans suffer from them.

Including the Garcia family.

I suffered

from allergies from some time now I

think even before we met.

I've always had

those clogged ears, a runny nose,

the itchy eye, is something that I really

had some discomfort with all the time.

Im trying our best, I think we're trying

our best and being in our home and

making it as clean as possible and make

it comfortable especially for our kids.

Allergies can have a variety of symptoms

including headaches, sneezing, runny nose,

swelling and can be triggered by a

number of different allergens.

Many people don't realize carpet in

area rugs which account for more than half

of all floor covering purchases every

year.

Have gotten a bad rap about

allergies.

Carpets definitely faced a stigma over

the years.

In reality studies have shown that clean

carpet can actually improve indoor air

quality by keeping allergens out of the

breathing zone.

We've been studying

allergens very closely and how they

interact with carpet over the past

several years really focused on improving well-being in the

home.

Vacuuming is the key to really keeping

it clean people are vacuuming one to two

times a week so that was a big part of

our solution and we were looking forward

to bringing a new option into the market.

With 30 years of experience Stainmaster

decided to create the first carpet

system designed to help you fight

allergens.

Stainmaster Lavelle carpet system

is the first carpet system designed

to help you fight dust and allergens.

It's made with kid and pet safe

technology that's designed to reduce the

bonding of allergens to the carpet fibers.

The technology is called Allure

Shield and its patent-pending and

unique to the marketplace.

It can actually help you reduce

allergen particles and half the vacuuming time.

Shelby Holmes from

Stainmaster research and development

demonstrates the effectiveness of the

livewell carpet and cushion system.

On this side of the sample of

control carpet and on the opposite side

is a sample of Stainmaster Livewell

carpet.

Since allergens are hard to see I'm

using this fluorescent powder as a

substitute.

Which is similar in size to

dust and household allergens.

I'm applying an equal amount of

allergen substitute for each carpet and

simulating foot traffic by rolling into

powder.

After vacuuming you can see under blacklight the

less material remains on the Livewell

carpet.

With our show technology every passenger

vacuum can be ninety percent more

effective in reducing allergen particles.

these new corpus system give us peace of

mind and is another step forward to keep

our house cleaner.

Right?

Absolutely especially keeping up with our

filter air conditioner.

Using a special

detergent for not only our clothes our

children's clothes.

it's just another

step to reduce allergens in our home

and make our home feel comfortable.

And the carpets are actually really

beautiful, bringing our home together we

want to be and and spend time together.

As another step to improve their home

environment the Garcias can combine Live

Well carpet with Stainmaster carpet

cushion.

Stainmaster carpet cushion

contains a proprietary breathable

moisture barrier that releases moisture

vapors helping to inhibit the growth of

mold and mildew.

Like all Stainmaster

carpet, Stainmaster Livewell carpet is

designed to be stained and soil resistance so it allows you to

keep it clean and easy to maintain.

Having this carpet in our home really makes

me feel at ease but I'm providing not

only for our family the cleaning area for

our children to play.

Being a stay-at-home

mom, I do vacuum offen but it still

provides me and comfort knowing that the

environment that our kids are in are so

it's okay to be in and it's clean.

Yeah it's our home we want to

feel comfortable in our own home.

A simple solution, that's nothing to

sneeze at.

(Music) Let's face it.

We all know a control

freak or two and they can be well you

know but when it comes to having maximum

control of our heating and cooling in

our home well that's a whole nother

story.

And here to share a tip or two is on

other than Allied Air's Joe Leonard.

Hey Joe.

All right Joe where do we go?

Let's go to the thermostat and start there.

Let's go.

All right the thermostat.

Kind of the center of the

system for most home owners.

Yeah, absoulty.

Now what we're trying to do is avoid hot

spots and cold spots throughout the

house.

How do we do that?

Your typical thermostat can't.

Okay.

Our comfort seen control can.

By dividing the house into different zones.

What homeowners

really want are even temperatures and

humidity throughout the home.

Comfort seek a little different and it

controls both.

Okay and it does that by doing zoning.

So we can keep the bedrooms warmer,

living rooms cooler, we can also control

it from anywhere in the world.

You can really mess with someone.

You can have a

lot of fun, you can.

But it does make the

home more comfortable and maximizes our

energy efficiency.

It's part of our

Pro Team in Pro Series equipment line for

Armstrong air in areas.

Okay.

All for effiecies up to twice what

the typical home is today.

So I would say to

get total control of our air quality and

our energy costs I think we need to be a

little of a control freak.

Exactly.

Yeah okay well Joe thank you that was

really really good great tip.

Well if you want

to get total control of your environment.

Then just jump on the web and you can

visit Armstrong.com or AirEase.com.

And you could always check us out at

DesigningSpaces.TV So for all of you

control freaks, we love you.

Thanks for joining us.

Bye.

Later our professional

organizer is in the garden with ways to

sort your tools, seeds and supplies.

So we can get planting and planning.

(Music)

(Music) It's that time of year again

when spring is in the air and you're going

to want to spend a lot more time

outdoors.

Hi, I'm Tatiana Knight and i'm a

professional organizer and I've heard that

gardening is great for clming your nerves

and reducing stress and that's

exactly how I feel about getting organized.

So let me show you some tricks of the

trade for getting your gardening area

ready for spring so that you can enjoy

what you love and get inspired to create.

Here we are in our fabulous gardening

corner and I brought in some Trinity

organizational solutions to help us out.

First of all I

have the utility cart which gives me the

ability to move around all the stuff

that I need.

I've got my seedlings right

here, extra ones down low and even more

space for other items.

I've also got this

fabulous shelving unit and the reason

why I think it's so great is because

it's certified for outdoor use.

And the most important thing when you're

organizing is to bring in shelving.

We're using up all the vertical space

we have more than enough areas to put

all of the stuff I have here plus more and

that keeps it off the ground from

getting ruined and outside that's a big

concern.

Over here I've taken all my unsightly

things that I didn't want anybody to see

and I've hidden them away in the Trinity

deck box.

It's really multi-purpose.

Right here, I brought it in for my

garden and it stores all kinds of stuff in

this case I've got my moss and my

potting soil and all the stuff that I'm

going to need but you can put anything

you want in there.

Why is it so great not only

does it look really attractive but it's

waterproof so everything is going to be

protected from the elements at all times.

Did you see how soft that lid was?

That's because it's a soft closing lid

and no fingers are going to get pinched

in between.

So with these great organizing

solutions as well as my tips good luck

gardening this spring.

(Music) Mortgage tips you should know.

Brought to you by Affinity Partnerships.

Homeowners all eventually face the reality

that a house needs care and maintenance

and that can get expensive.

How can you

afford major home renovations?

There are a number ways an individual can

approach getting in renovation loan or

ways to improve their home one of those

happens to be a 203K.

A 203K product is a

mortgage product which certain leaders

will offer that allow you the ability to

renovate your home, put in a new kitchen,

remodel your living room, put in windows.

And those are loans that are coordinated

not only from the with the lender but

with the contractor that helps you get

the type of home that you would like to

have.

What is the process to get a

renovation loan?

Part of the process for

getting a renovation loan is to be able

to know and establish what it is you

want to do in that rehabilitation

process.

That is followed by being able

to establish a budget and after that

being able to go and talk to various

lenders to be able to know what rates

and fees will apply to that specific

loan.

How our loan proceeds called draws

distributed?

The jobs are distributed and

those are in funds that are given back

to the contractor as they complete the

work.

So that's one of the things you can

be careful about or at least assured

that a contractor is only going to be

paid for the work that's been accomplished.

Those are called draws.

You should shop lenders and their

reputations for renovation loans.

I think it's very important to consider

that there are lenders who specialize

in 203K's.

What I would do is look

for references.

References are the key

not only for lenders but also for

contractors.

203K's are

specialized FHA loans.

But they're really

helpful and they can really help you

enjoy the home that you live in.

The 'Mother Of All Bombs,' Explained | For The Record | MSNBC - Duration: 10:51.

VISIT THERE SINCE 2009. WE'VE GOT A FULL PANEL TO

DISCUSS THIS. WITH ME NBC CHIEF FOREIGN

CORRESPONDENT RICHARD ENGEL, BOB SCALES, THE ATLANTIC'S

WASHINGTON EDITOR AT LARGE STEVE CLEMENS, AND HUFFINGTON POST

GLOBAL EDITORIAL DIRECTOR HOWARD FINE MAN.

GREAT TO HAVE ALL OF YOU HERE. GENERAL, SECOND LARGEST BOMB IN

OUR ARSENAL, WALK US THROUGH. WHAT IS THIS THING AND HOW MUCH

DAMAGE CAN IT DO? >> THIS IS A MODERN VERSION OF

THE VIETNAM ERA DAISY CUTTER. IT IS 11 TONS OF EXPLOSIVE.

IT'S NOT DROPPED FROM A BOMBER. IT'S DROPPED FROM THE WEIRD GATE

OF A CARGO PLANE. A PARA CHUTE PULLS IT OUT, IT

SEPARATES FROM THE PARACHUTE, AND IT'S GUIDED TO THE TARGET BY

GPS. >> SO IT'S ACCURATE.

>> IT'S PRECISION ACCURATE. BUT THE PURPOSE OF THIS IS NOT

FRAGMENTATION, NOT SHRAPNEL. IT'S TO BUILDUP AN OVERPRESSURE

OR BLAST, IF YOU WILL. PURPOSE OF IT IS TO COLLAPSE

BUILDINGS, TEAR UP RAIL JUNCTIONS, COLLAPSE TUNNELS

THROUGH THE BLAST. IT DOESN'T KILL THROUGH

SHRAPNEL. SO, IT MAKES IT UNIQUE IN THE

ARSENAL. AND THE NATION, WE'VE GOT 13 OF

THESE LEFT. THEY'VE BEEN SITTING IN FLORIDA

FOR, WHAT, 15, 16 YEARS. >> WHY USE IT NOW?

>> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, THIS WAS A SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND

REQUEST. IT'S THEIR MISSION.

THIS MISSION HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR ABOUT THREE MONTHS.

AND WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO WAS TO TEST IT IN THE NARROW

CONFINES OF THOSE AFGHAN VALLEYS TO SEE IF THE, IF THE BOMB

LANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THAT CAN USE THOSE CONFINING WALLS TO

BUILDUP OVERPRESSURE AND CAUSE DAMAGE TO TUNNELS, MOSTLY

TUNNELS IN THE AREA. THEY WANT TO SEE WHAT EFFECT

THAT WOULD HAVE ON TUNNELS. SO PERHAPS IN THE FUTURE THEY

CAN USE IT AGAIN AGAINST MORE LUCRATIVE TARGETS.

>> IT'S BEEN IN THE WORKS, THEN, BUT STEVE, EVEN THOUGH THE

PRESIDENT HAS SAID FROM THE VERY TIME HE STARTED RUNNING FOR

PRESIDENT THAT ISIS WAS GOING TO BE IN HIS SIGHTS, WHY THIS, WHY

NOW? >> WELL, I THINK THAT HE HAS

DONE WHAT HE SAID, WHICH HE'S GIVEN THE MILITARY AUTHORIZATION

TO MOVE ALMOST WITHOUT HIM KNOWING WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

THAT'S WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME.

AND I THINK RIGHT NOW ISIS -- I MEAN, IT IS ODD BECAUSE THOSE OF

US WHO HAVE BEEN LOOKING AT THE DIRECTION OF ISIS HAVE BEEN

LOOKING AT SYRIA AND IRAQ. AND, SO, THE FACT THAT YOU'VE

GOT ISIS ACTIVE -- >> WHEN HE SAID I'M GOING TO

BOMB THE -- I'M NOT GOING TO SAY THE WORD -- OUT OF THEM, HE WAS

TALKING ABOUT SYRIA AND IRAQ AND THE OIL FIELDS.

>> RIGHT. WHAT REALLY IMPRESSED ME,

THOUGH, ABOUT WHAT THE GENERAL JUST SHARED IN TERMS OF HIS

KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT THIS DID, IT ALMOST REMINDS ME OF THE OLD

WORLD WAR II STRATEGIST, FAMOUS STRATEGIST PAUL NITZA, WHO BUILT

HIS REPRESENTATION OF SOMEBODY WHO STUDIED BOMB DAMAGE DURING

WORLD WAR II. IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE A MEETING

OF A STRATEGIC NEED THAT WAS DECIDED IN THE FIELD TO TRY AND

DO SOMETHING HERE. WHAT COULD YOU DO WITH THIS BOMB

THEY'VE NEVER USED BEFORE? SOUNDS LIKE A BIT OF

EXPERIMENTATION AS WELL AS WHAT IS THE NEED OF ACTUALLY TRYING

TO DISRUPT ISIS? THAT RAISES THE QUESTIONS OF

WHAT DO THEY THINK THEY CAN DO NEXT WITH THIS BOMB AND WHERE

WOULD THEY DROP IT. >> YEAH, WE'LL GET TO THAT.

BUT RICHARD, I WANT TO GO TO YOU.

TELL US A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE REGION WHERE THIS WAS, WHO

MIGHT HAVE BEEN THERE, AND WHAT YOU CAN TELL US ABOUT THE

STRATEGY OF GOING THERE. AEL SO, JUST TO PICKUP ON THE

THEME THAT WE WERE JUST DISCUSSING ABOUT

EXPERIMENTATION, THEY'RE NOT THAT MANY PLACES WHERE YOU CAN

DROP A BOMB LIKE THIS. AS THE GENERAL MENTIONED, IT IS

DROPPED FROM A CARGO PLANE, THE REAR OF THE CARGO PLANE OPENS, A

PARACHUTE PULLS THE THING OUT. CARGO PLANES FLY RELATIVELY LOW,

THEY FLY SLOWLY. SO, YOU CAN'T GO INTO AN AREA

LIKE SYRIA OR IRAN WITH A CARGO PLANE.

NOWHERE WHERE THEY HAVE HEAVY AIR DEFENSES.

SO, IN REMOTE AFGHANISTAN WHERE THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE,

PARTICULARLY IN THIS AREA NANGAHAR PROVINCE --

>> THAT'S NEAR THE PAKISTAN PROVINCE, IS THAT RIGHT?

>> IT IS. IT'S A VERY, VERY REMOTE PART OF

AFGHANISTAN ALONG THE PAKISTAN I BORDER.

IT IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE BIG STRONG HOLDS OF ISIS.

AND IF YOU WERE TO HIT A TUNNEL COMPLEX, WHICH IS WHAT THE

MILITARY SAID IT HIT, A TUNNEL COMPLEX IT CLAIMS WAS BEING USED

BY ISIS, THERE ARE NOT THAT MANY PEOPLE IN THE AREA.

ONE WOULD PRESUME THERE ARE NOT MANY PEOPLE IN A TUNNEL COMPLEX

IN NANGAHAR PROVINCE. AND THEY'RE NOT SOPHISTICATED

AIR DEFENSES SO IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO DROP THIS BOMB ON

AN ENEMY THAT IS DECLARED AND CLEAR AND UNDERSTOOD WITHOUT THE

RISK OF TOO MANY CIVILIAN CASUALTIES.

AND WITHOUT THE RISK OF BEI BEI SHOT DOWN BY SOPHISTICATED AIR

DEFENSES. THE QUESTION IS, AND THE GENERAL

HAD A VERY SORT OF SLIPPERY PHASE THERE, HE SAID PERHAPS

THEY'RE TESTING IT FOR MORE LUCRATIVE TARGETS.

SO DOES THAT MEAN IRAN, DOES THAT MEAN NORTH KOREA?

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE LUCRATIVE TARGETS MIGHT BE.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE CURRENT CLIMATE, NORTH KOREA WOULD COME

TO MIND. >> LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS TARGET

AND WHAT EFFECT THIS MIGHT HAVE IN THE FIGHT AGAINST ISIS,

RICHARD. >> WELL, ISIS HAS FRANKLY THE

WAR IN AFGHANISTAN IS NOT GOING TERRIBLY WELL.

THERE ARE JUST UNDER 10,000 U.S. TROOPS THERE.

BUT THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT REMAINS QUITE WEAK AND THERE ARE

MANY POCKETS OF THE COUNTRY WHERE THERE IS STILL GREAT ISIS

INFLUENCE. AL QAEDA INFLUENCE, TALIBAN

INFLUENCE, AND THOSE GROUPS CAN EFFECTIVELY CARRY OUT HIT AND

RUN STYLE ATTACKS WHENEVER THEY WANT TO IN KABUL.

IF YOU REMEMBER A MONTH AGO, ISIS STAGED AN ELABORATE DRAWN

OUT ATTACK ON A HOSPITAL RIGHT IN THE CENTER OF KABUL.

AFGHAN SPECIAL FORCES HAD TO LAND ON THE ROOF AND TRY AND

BREAK INTO THE BUILDING. AND THERE WERE PATIENTS AND

MEDICAL STAFF WHO WERE CLINGING TO THE SIDES OF THE BUILDING

WHILE ISIS WAS GOING FROM ROOM TO ROOM KILLING PEOPLE.

THAT'S HAPPENING IN THE CAPITAL. SO, THE IDEA WOULD BE TO USE AN

ENORMOUS BOMB LIKE THIS TO ELIMINATE A CONCENTRATION OR

TUNNEL COMPLEX OF ISIS FIGHTERS, BUT ALSO TO TRY AND SEND A

PSYCHOLOGICAL MESSAGE. IT IS A FRIGHTENING WEAPON.

IT MAKES A LOT OF NOISE. IT ACTUALLY LITERALLY WILL MAKE

THE GROUND SHAKE. SO, YOU WOULD WANT TO TERRIFY

YOUR ENEMY, SHOCK AND AWE THE ENEMY, AND USE IT IN A PLACE

THAT IS PERMISSIBLE. >> SO A MESSAGE TO THE ENEMY,

BUT I WONDER IF IT'S A MESSAGE TO THE PRESIDENT'S BASE DOING

WHAT HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO DO. HE CALLED IT TODAY A VERY

SUCCESSFUL MISSION. LET ME JUST PLAY THAT.

>> IF YOU LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS' HAPPENED OVER THE LAST EIGHT

WEEKS AND COMPARE THAT TO REALLY TO WHAT'S HAPPENED OVER THE LAST

EIGHT YEARS, YOU'LL SEE THERE IS A TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE,

TREMENDOUS DIFFERENCE. SO, WE HAVE INCREDIBLE LEADERS

IN THE MILITARY. WE HAVE INCREDIBLE MILITARY.

AND WE ARE VERY PROUD OF THEM. AND THIS WAS ANOTHER VERY, VERY

SUCCESSFUL MISSION. >> SO, ONE PART OF THIS IS THE

MILITARY PART OF IT. THE OTHER PART IS THE POLITICAL

PARTS OF IT. HOW DO YOU READ THAT PART OF IT,

HOWARD? >> WELL, THERE ARE TWO OR THREE

PARTS TO THE POLITICAL ANSWER. ONE OF THEM IS TYPICAL TRUMP

THINK, WHICH IS I'M GOING TO DISTINGUISH MYSELF FROM BARACK

OBAMA IN ANY WAY I POSSIBLY CAN. >> SO, SYRIA, NOW AFGHANISTAN.

>> YES. AND ALSO BARACK OBAMA HAD LITTLE

DRONES. I'VE GOT A 21,000-POUND BOMB,

OKAY. >> NOBODY HAS EVER USED IT.

>> NOBODY HAS EVER USED BEFORE. BARACK OBAMA DIDN'T HAVE THE

GUTS TO USE, BUT I HAVE THE GUTS TO USE.

EVEN THOUGH I DON'T THINK HE KNEW ABOUT IT IN ADVANCE,

ACTUALLY. OKAY.

THAT'S NUMBER ONE. NUMBER TWO, THERE IS THE

INTERPLAY WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION WHICH IS THE

PENTAGON IS SHOWING PRESIDENT TRUMP THEIR WARES.

DON'T FORGET WE HAD THE FIGHT AGAINST STEVE BANNON.

THAT'S OVER. H.R. McMASTER, REX TILLERSON

PRETTY MUCH CORNERED THE ISOLATIONIST, SO-CALLED,

ANTIGLOBALIST STEVE BANNON. PUT HIM IN A CORNER.

AND THIS IS A DEMONSTRATION WHAT THEY COULD DO.

NUMBER THREE, THIS IS DONALD TRUMP'S KIND OF WAR ACTION.

IT'S DROPPING A BIG BOMB. IT'S NOT PUTTING BOOTS ON THE

GROUND. IT'S SHOWING STRENGTH WITHOUT

COMMITTING TROOPS. AND IT'S MESSAGE SENDING.

SO, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT HE WANTS TO DO AND IT'S ISIL.

THIS IS A BRANCH OF ISIL OUT THERE IN AFGHANISTAN, ISIL-K.

AND HE'S GONE AFTER WHO HE SAID I WAS GOING TO GO AFTER WHEN HE

RAN FOR OFFICE. SO, AND ALSO THIS SHOWS THE

FURTHER SHIFT OF DONALD TRUMP FROM DOMESTIC ISSUES TO GLOBAL

ISSUES. EVERY PRESIDENT EVENTUALLY

DECIDES THEY'VE HAD ENOUGH WITH CONGRESS, ENOUGH WITH THE

BUREAUCRACY, ENOUGH WITH THE PRESS.

I'M GOING TO GET INTO GLOBAL AFFAIRS.

DONALD TRUMP HAS RUSHED IN TO GLOBAL CONSCIOUSNESS WITHIN A

FEW WEEKS OF THE BEGINNING OF HIS PRESIDENCY.

>> ALSO SOMETHING INTERESTING THAT McMASTER IS GOING, A

SMALLER MESSAGE MAYBE, BUT WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT, STEVE?

>> I THINK McMASTER IS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT -- THEY'VE ADVOCATED

PUTTING MORE TROOPS BACK INTO AFGHANISTAN AND TRYING TO SORT

OF LOOK AT WHAT THEY CAN DO TO RETURN IT.

OUR LEVELS OF TROOPS RIGHT NOW ARE THERE TO MAKE SURE KABUL

DOESN'T FAUM. YOU HAVE A RISE OF WAR LORDS IN

AFGHANISTAN AND A RISE OF TALIBAN.

VIRTUALLY EVERYWHERE ELSE WE ARE.

INTERESTING ABOUT ATTACKING ISIL AND AFGHANISTAN, IT IS PROBABLY

THE LEAST SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THE SO-CALLED ENEMY OR LIST OF

CONCERNS THERE. IT WILL HAVE NO IMPACT ON THE

STRATEGIC TIP OR BALANCE. IT LOOKS LIKE IT BECAUSE IT'S

BIG THEATRICAL, IT'S SCARY. THIS WAS NOT TAKING OUT THE

HAKANI NETWORK. IT WAS NOT TAKING OUT VARIOUS

PIECES OF THE AL QAEDA AFFILIATED TALIBAN NETWORK.

I THINK THAT HAS TO BE THOUGHT ABOUT, THAT, YOU KNOW, IT'S

PROBABLY CRUDE TO CALL IT THIS, BUT BOTH IN SYRIA IN THE KIND OF

STRIKE WE HAD ON THE AIR BASE AND WITH THIS BIG BOMB THAT WAS

IN A REMOTE AREA, THEY'RE PRETTY POLITE STRIKES THAT HAVE LOW

RISK AND THAT DON'T NECESSARILY CREATE LOTS OF BLOW BACK FOR THE

UNITED STATES. >> TO BE CYNICAL ABOUT IT

POLITICALLY, THEY CHANGED THE SUBJECT BIG TIME.

OKAY, WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE HEALTH CARE BILL, WE'RE NOT

TALKING ABOUT THE WALL. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT DONALD TRUMP

AS A GLOBAL ACTOR. >> AND SO IN OUR LAST 30

SECONDS, WHERE MIGHT THERE BE USED NEXT?

>> I DON'T KNOW. I THINK IT HAS TO BE A PROOF OF

PRINCIPLE. I DON'T THINK THE PRESIDENT EVEN

AUTHORIZED THIS. I THINK IT CAME FROM THE

GENERAL. I KNOW THIS MISSION AS I SAID

EARLIER HAS BEEN IN THE WORKS FOR SEVERAL MONTHS.

THIS IS PART OF A EXPLORATION, IF YOU WILL, OF HOW THEY COULD

USE THIS WEAPON. PERHAPS IN OTHER PLACES.

>> NORTH KOREA HAS A LOT OF TUNNELS.

>> YEAH, BUT THIS BOMB IS INAPPROPRIATE FOR NORTH KOREA.

IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MISSION, COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

SET OF C

Sno-Isle Libraries Transform: Turning on the Light Bulb for Customers - Duration: 1:09.

[music]

I work in Library on Wheels and I take the library to people that are home bound or in

one case, I take the library to a nice man named Nicholas, who lives in Delta Rehab.

Delta Rehab is a brain injury facility.

And Nicholas is in his mid-40s, he got kinda spiky black hair.

He always has a big list of books he wants us to put on hold for him.

And Nicholas always is so excited to see us.

The last time we were there Nick says, "How great is this?

This makes me feel like a modern day Thomas Edison!"

And I'm thinking to myself, "How great IS that?

We're turning on the light bulb!"

It makes us feel like we do a great job.

I'm Anne Jones.

I work for Sno-Isle Libraries in Library on Wheels and I'm an expert at turning on the

Take up my message from the veins Speaking my lesson from the brain

Seeing the beauty through the

(Pain) You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

(Pain) You break me down, you build me up, believer, believer

(Pain) I let the bullets fly, oh let them rain

My luck, my love, my God, they came from (Pain)

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Third things third Send a prayer to the ones up above

All the hate that you've heard has turned your spirit to a dove, oh ooh

Your spirit up above, oh ooh

I was choking in the crowd Living my brain up in the cloud

Falling like ashes to the ground Hoping my feelings, they would drown

But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing

Inhibited, limited Till it broke up and it rained down

It rained down, like

My luck, my love, my God, they came from (Pain)

You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

Last things last By the grace of the fire and the flames

You're the face of the future, the blood in my veins, oh ooh

The blood in my veins, oh ooh

But they never did, ever lived, ebbing and flowing. Inhibited, limited

Till it broke up and it rained down It rained down, like

(Pain) You made me a, you made me a believer, believer

(Pain) You break me down, you built me up, believer, believer

Snapshot Review 17w15a for Minecraft - Duration: 2:52.

Hello, this is dg092099 with another snapshot review.

Today we will be reviewing both 14 and 15 a.

I was having some issues with my Minecraft launcher last week.

So I couldn't get the snapshot review done.

To start, we have some of the advancements have been renamed.

And when you do unlock an advancement, it will show a little...

...box in the upper right indicating this.

So, like for example, if I grab a... [FINDING SOMETHING THAT WOULD WORK.]

What would happen it will display a box in the upper right saying that new recipes are unlocked.

So anyway, they also have the parrots, they will...

In the previous snapshot, you would right-click them, and they would hop on your shoulder, and now they sit.

One of the more major changes are these beds.

You would either dye it by using colored wool in the recipe.

A lot of the changes in the past couple of snapshots were bug fixes.

But now we also can place torches on the stairs.

So, thank you for watching and I'll see you in the next episode.

Will Meghan Markle Get Queen Elizabeth II's Approval?

Prince Harry Enjoys Date Night At Museum With Girlfriend

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were recently spotted together in London when the couple

stepped out for a romantic date night at the Natural History Museum.

The "Suits" star traveled to London Thursday to spend the weekend with the royal and is

staying with him at his Kensington Palace home.

During the museum visit, the couple stopped at the dinosaur exhibits and were photographed

by U.K. tabloids.

Some reports claimed, citing Markle's friend that the actress might soon move to London

as "as their relationship becomes more serious.�

Over the weekend, E! News reported that Markle was thinking of changing her career but her

high profile relationship with Prince Harry may not be the reason.

The 35-year-old is "ready to be done with 'Suits'" and with "acting in general," a source

told E! News Friday.

"Even before Harry, she was starting to think about transitioning out of acting.

She wants to focus on other worldly endeavors she is passionate about, like her philanthropy."Markle

and Prince Harry started dating in August 2016, and the Kensington Palace confirmed

their relationship on Nov. 8.

While several engagement rumors surfaced, Prince Harry and Markle require the queen's

approval for their marriage before taking their relationship to the next level.

So far, Markle has met Prince William, Middleton and their two children, Prince George and

Princess Charlotte.

Many have speculated about Markle's role in the royal family after her possible wedding

with Prince Harry.

According to reports, Markle will not be Princess Meghan but is likely to be titled a duchess

if Queen Elizabeth II gives the title of duke to Prince Harry.

Earlier this month, Us Weekly magazine reported Prince Harry is likely to propose to Markle

by �the end of summer.� Since the two started dating, Markle has been made several

trips to London to spend time with her boyfriend.

Cancion de los Soldados - Rolando Alarcon (English Translation) - Duration: 2:32.

They say your country is

A rifle and a flag

My country is my brothers

Who are working the land

My country is my brothers

Who are working the land

While here they teach us

How to kill them in war

I won't shoot no, no

I won't shoot my brothers

I will shoot, yes

Against those who suffocate

the people in their hands

They prepare us for the struggle

Against the workers

May lightning strike me down

If I attack my comrades

The war that was so feared

Doesn't come from abroad

They are strikes

Like those of the brave miners

I won't shoot no, no

I won't shoot my brothers

I will shoot, yes

against those who suffocate

the people with their hands

If my brother rises up

When I'm in the barracks

I'll take the rifle in my hands

And go to the hills with him

Officers, Officers

You are so brave...

Let's see how brave you are

When our day arrives

I won't shoot no, no

I won't shoot my brothers

I will shoot, yes

Against those who suffocate Spain in their hands
