Renewable energy is way too expensive, right? - Duration: 6:28.
- Renewable energy, it's a nice fad
but it's way too expensive.
What about poor people?
It's all very well for those rich movie stars
to drive around in their fancy Prius's and Teslas.
But there's a billion people in the world
who don't have access to energy of any kind.
Are you telling me they're not allowed to use
coal, or oil or gas now?
That's not very fair.
One of the favorite arguments people have
against climate action,
is that fossil fuels are a moral necessity.
We need them, so they say, for energy here and now
as well as to help poor nations develop.
But, is that really true.
We're rapidly getting to the point where no, it's not.
When we look at where all the coal, oil and gas reserves
are in the world, they're not in Africa.
Africa only has 6% of the world's remaining
fossil resources.
What about Latin America?
Just 14%, most of those in Venezuela and Brazil.
No, between them, North America, Europe
and the Middle East have almost 80%
of the world's remaining fossil reserves.
Expecting, or even requiring developing countries
to develop the exact same way we did,
isn't moral, it's inviting them to a lifetime of debt
to rich countries that they'll need to buy their fuel from.
And what's more, it's patronizing.
Like saying to them, "Oh, you aren't ready
"for modern cars and cellphones yet.
"At your stage of development,
"you get the party line telephone, and Ford Model-T's.
"Check back with us in 50 years."
The latest news coming out of developing countries
is proving those naysayers wrong as well.
Pay as you go solar, is taking Africa by storm.
Bringing affordable electricity
to people who aren't on any grid,
and growing the local economy in these communities
Solar technology has improved so much in recent years,
that the cost of solar is dropping below that
of fossil fuels, shattering records along the way.
And that's happening in countries without subsidies.
In developing or emerging economies,
including Mexico, Peru, India, and Dubai
new bids for solar energy are coming in below
three cents per kilowatt hour.
That is way cheaper than fossil fuels.
Today, the idea that clean energy will be too expensive
for developing countries to afford, is already a myth.
Hang on though, the naysayers will continue.
Even if it is affordable, what happens when the sun
isn't shining, and the wind isn't blowing.
Guess what, energy storage is where the biggest investments
and some of the greatest progress is being made
in the clean energy sector today.
And the options are plentiful.
Elon Musk has the power wall,
an energy storage unit or a battery,
that you literally install on the wall of your garage,
hopefully in combination with his new solar shingles,
to power your house.
Others are using old time approaches to store energy,
like pumping water uphill, for example,
when the wind is blowing
and letting it run back down again when it's not.
Or, here in Texas, pumping water into old oil wells
under pressure, and then letting it back up again
when it's needed.
Innovative new solar farms, from Spain to Arizona,
are using molten salt to store the heat on site.
And Pacific Islands, including Kauai and Hawaii,
are using solar and storage rays
to replace their dependence on expensive,
traditional energy sources that had to be imported.
Adding storage to the grid, allows renewable energy
to supply base load power,
reducing the need for traditional sources of energy.
Now, it's true, storage still does have a long way to go.
But if you look at how far it's come over the last 10 years
you'll see that times are changing fast.
At this point, with news of all these innovations,
you might be surprised and even intrigued.
But there's always a few diehards ready to grasp
at the last straw.
But aren't wind and solar energy bird killers?
It would be safer for wildlife
if we just kept on using fossil fuels.
It's true, that wind turbines do kill birds.
They kill about 300,000 birds every year,
that die by running into their blades.
But if we were really concerned about birds,
there's an easy way to balance the scales.
Did you know that cellphone towers kill 6 million birds
a year, and outdoor cats kill 3 billion birds a year.
That's right, reducing the outdoor cat population
by 0.01% would have the same effect
as getting rid of all our wind turbines.
And that's not even counting the fact that every year
fossil fuel pollution kills 200,000 people
in the United States alone,
And around the entire world, about 2.5 million people.
And that continued dependence on fossil fuels
is estimated to lead to the total extinction,
yes the total extinction of more than 30%
of all species in the world.
Cutting down on kitties won't fix that.
I live in West Texas, where every time you turn around
these days, it seems like there's a new crop
of shiny white wind turbines
that have sprung up overnight.
I admit, I'm one of those people
who thinks they look good.
But I often hear from people who are concerned
by the boom.
Probably my favorite myth is the idea
that too many wind turbines will,
by capturing so much wind, slow the rotation of the earth.
They can't.
But, by continuing to use fossil fuels,
and unsustainably withdrawing water
from underground aquifers,
and melting the massive ice sheets that anchor the poles,
the irony is that we are affecting the earth's
axes of rotation.
So if that's what you're concerned about,
bring on the wind turbines.
The reality is, that we need energy.
Clean energy that doesn't pollute our air and our water,
that doesn't run out on us, and that can supply our needs,
and the needs of all of us who share this planet.
Old and young, rich and poor.

How bareMinerals Powder Foundation Is Made | How Stuff Is Made | Refinery29 - Duration: 3:54.
A dash of red, a hint of blue,
maybe a splash of yellow too.
The world is a wonderful rainbow of hues
and you deserve to have the foundation
that especially fits you.
Be bare.
Be nude.
And be you.
Variety is so damn beautiful.
The use of foundation dates back to antiquity.
In the Middle Ages,
men and women favored pale makeup,
while today we favor a look that
is a little more 'au natural.'
BareMinerals has over 30 shades of foundation
and they're committed to providing women
and men with natural looking coverage
for their unique skin tone.
Perfect!
The first step is making a bareMinerals powder.
A technician makes a blend of
titanium, mica, and zinc.
This blend is often mixed with red, yellow, and black
until it's a perfect and precise
consistency and shade.
Who knew there were this many colors involved?
Once the pigment is perfect
the formula is sent to the factory
to be produced on a much
larger scale.
A mixer is tasked
with mixing an exact amount of powder
to replicate the pigment in the lab.
Now let's see some magic happen.
Hmm, that color doesn't seem quite right.
That's because the color needs to be transferred
to a compounder where the particles are compounded
and the pigment comes out.
The mixture turns from a light white
to whatever shade it's meant to be.
Before it's sent to the line for packaging,
a worker must test the pigment to ensure it
matches the standard from the lab.
It's a match!
Since the colors match,
it can be sent to the line for packaging.
The powder is transferred into big barrels called "drums"
and brought to the powder room for distributing.
This is where they package
all 30 shades of their foundation.
Each container is equally filled with powder,
sealed with a plastic bottom,
and labeled based on their color.
Along with bareMinerals Foundation,
Bare Escentuals makes many more makeup products
in their factory
like these
and those.
The finished foundation containers
are polished and cleaned by a line worker to get rid of
the excess powder.
And now they're ready to ship.
Almost 76,000 units of bareMinerals are
produced in a day.
Swirl, tap, buff, and blend.
This is the way to compliment your skin.
30 unique shades so everyone can play
and rock natural Bare skin in their own special way.

[HEALTH]What Is Insomnia? - Duration: 5:37.
What Is Insomnia?
People with insomnia have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep. Some people with insomnia wake up too early in the morning and arent able to return to sleep.
People with insomnia typically dont get enough sleep or dont feel well-rested in the morning despite having had enough time for sleep.
Insomnia isnt defined by a set number of hours of sleep per night, because some people need more sleep than others. Episodes of insomnia can be occasional or last for a long time.
Insomnia is the most common sleep complaint in the United States. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine estimates that about 30 percent of U.S. adults have some symptoms of insomnia. About 10 percent of U.S. adults have chronic insomnia.
Chronic insomnia is defined as sleep problems that last for four weeks or longer. Insomnia is most common in women and older adults. Common symptoms of insomnia include:.
Variable sleep (a few nights of poor sleep followed by a night or two of better sleep). Feelings of fatigue or reduced energy. Forgetfulness.
Irritability. Anxiety. Depression. Increased errors or accidents during daily tasks.
Insomnia can have many causes. Changes to your sleeping environment (temperature, light, noise). Excessive worry over a life event (the loss of a loved one, divorce, job loss). Too much caffeine, alcohol, or nicotine.
Certain medicines (heart and blood pressure drugs, allergy medicines, corticosteroids). Keeping an irregular sleep schedule (going to bed or waking up much later or earlier on some days than others). Worrying too much about not being able to fall asleep.
Insomnia can also occur as a result of certain medical conditions, including:. Mental health problems (depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder). Medical conditions that cause pain (arthritis, vertebral stenosis). Nerve disorders (Parkinsons disease, Alzheimers disease).
Other sleep disorders (sleep apnea, restless leg syndrome, periodic limb movements). Insomnia can have harmful mental and physical effects. People with insomnia often feel tired, depressed, irritable, or confused. Insomnia can also cause problems with coordination, balance, and memory.
People with insomnia are more likely to be involved in car accidents than people without insomnia. Insomnia may also raise your risk of developing certain health problems, including:. Diabetes. Obesity.
Depression. Anxiety. Insomnia is a common complaint during pregnancy. Nearly 80 percent of pregnant women experience some insomnia symptoms, according to the American Pregnancy Association.
Insomnia during pregnancy typically wont harm your baby. Common causes of insomnia during pregnancy include:. Discomfort due to the size of your belly. Heartburn.
Frequent need to urinate during the night. Anxiety or anticipation over the arrival of your baby. The following steps may help ease insomnia during pregnancy:.
Try different sleeping positions. Practice relaxation or breathing techniques (including ones you may have learned in childbirth class). Exercise regularly during the day. Get out of bed and eat a small snack or read a book until you feel sleepy.
Fatal familial insomnia (FFI) is a very rare genetic disease. It affects the brain and nerves. People with FFI typically begin to develop symptoms in midlife. Symptoms of FFI include:. Insomnia that worsens over time.
Hyperventilation or rapid breathing. Teary eyes that arent from crying. Loss of coordination or loss of control of bodily movements. Theres no cure for FFI, but treatments can help reduce some of its symptoms.
There are a number of ways to treat insomnia. Some treatments require medication, while others dont. If you have insomnia, your doctor can help you find a treatment that works best for you and your symptoms.
Some people find that simple changes to their daily routine can help with insomnia. The following actions may help you sleep better:. Avoid caffeinated beverages after lunchtime. Avoid nicotine and tobacco products.
Avoid alcohol, especially before bed. Keep a regular sleep schedule (go to bed and wake up at the same time each day).
Follow a routine that helps you wind down and feel relaxed before bed (take a hot shower or bath, read a book, or listen to soothing music). Exercise regularly, for at least 20 minutes, four to five hours before bedtime.
Avoid using light-emitting screens (laptops, tablets, smartphones) in bed. Make your bedroom as dark and quiet as possible. Dont eat heavy meals or drink a lot before bed. Avoid taking daytime naps.
Your doctor may recommend a prescription medicine to help you sleep if your insomnia interferes with your daytime functioning. There are many different prescription medications used to treat insomnia.
Some will help you to fall asleep, while others are meant to help you stay asleep. Some are meant only for short-term use, while others are safe for longer periods of time. Popular types of prescription sleep medications include:.
Which medicine your doctor prescribes will depend on your insomnia symptoms. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks of taking prescription sleep medications.
Some sleep medicines can be habit-forming and have serious side effects. Side effects of some prescription sleep medications may include:. Unusual behaviors (driving, walking, or eating) while asleep. Grogginess or drowsiness the next day.
Impaired driving the morning after taking sedatives. Addiction. Nonprescription or over-the-counter (OTC) sleep aids can also be used to help you fall asleep. Most over-the-counter sleep aids contain antihistamines such as diphenhydramine.
Antihistamines are typically used as an allergy medicine, but some also cause drowsiness and may be marketed as sleep aids. Over-the-counter sleep aids arent a solution for long-term insomnia.
Some people prefer to treat their insomnia without medications. Therapy from a trained sleep specialist can help. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a method of treating insomnia that focuses on changing habits and factors that may be giving you sleep anxiety.
Youll meet regularly (usually weekly) with a sleep specialist who will help you change the way you sleep. Alternative and Natural Sleep Aids.
Herbal products and hormones are often used as sleep aids. But there is little scientific data showing that these natural sleep aids are effective for people with insomnia.
Common natural sleep aids include:. Melatonin: This is a hormone produced by the brain that plays a role in sleep. Melatonin may be helpful for some people with insomnia, including people who have:. Certain sleep-wake rhythm disorders.
Sleep problems related to shift work. Melatonin appears to be safe when used for periods of three months or less, but little is known about the safety of long-term melatonin use.
Valerian: This is an herbal remedy used to treat sleep problems. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health states that there arent enough medical studies to back up claims that valerian helps with insomnia.
Valerian appears to be safe for short-term use. It may cause mild side effects, including:. Tiredness the morning after use. Headaches. Dizziness.
Stomachache. Additionally, the following alternative therapies have helped some people manage their insomnia:. Acupuncture. Yoga.
Massage. Biofeedback. If you're experiencing insomnia, it's important to know the condition is treatable. You need reliable resources to help you learn about the condition.

NORTH KOREA CRISIS: Kim warns West there is 'no place safe on Earth from our nuclear bombs - Duration: 4:09.
NORTH KOREA CRISIS: Kim warns West there is 'no place safe on Earth from our nuclear bombs
boasted of "our nuclear bombs and H-bombs" and warned all-out war was on the horizon. Despot has repeatedly promised to rain fire down on America, South Korea and Japan in an ever-tightening spiral of threat and counter-threat.
Now another provocative warning has been issued by the secretive state, a week after US president Donald Trump said he would "totally destroy" North Korea.
A statement issued by a North Korean committee dedicated to the reunification of the peninsula hit out at Mr Trump and warned of a deadly comeuppance.
The message featured in a Pyongyang-based propaganda newspaper said: "Trumps rubbish is the open declaration of war against our supreme dignity, state, social system and people, and an unpardonable extra-large provocation.
"This is not a just invective of Trump but a vivid revelation of the vicious hostile policy of the US administration toward the DPRK and its wicked intention to ignite a war." They said America was insulting North Korea, a charge which could only be met with "the fire of our nuclear bombs". READ MORE:.
The statement continued: "Anyone who dares insult our supreme dignity and deny the existence of our state can never go scot-free.
"Our toughest counteraction will bring unimaginable consequences to the US warmongers and their vassal forces, and the American empire will completely be destroyed in exchange for the rubbish of 'total destruction' of the DPRK.
"The enemies will find no place safe on the earth from the fire of our nuclear bombs and H-bombs fitted into the powerful striking means of Juche." They also hit out at South Korea's government, who they described as "puppet authorities" displaying "dastardly behaviour", warning they too would face ruin. READ MORE:.
The article concluded: "We will surely settle accounts with the traitors for their disgusting behaviour and thrice-cursed crimes, who will be made to pay dearly for the crimes." South Korea appears to be taking these threats seriously, with citizens stocking up on emergency survival kits. Hong Soon-chul of eBay Korea warned: "There has been a recent surge in demand for survival kits.
"We don't advertise or market such items because it could raise unnecessary concerns but the demand is out there.".
Auction, another website, also reported a surge in demand. They said sales for hand-held radios had risen 46 per cent and combat rations by 77 per cent from September 2 to 5.
This was around the time North Korea carried out a highly provocative nuclear test, a move which sent alarm bells ringing from Washington to Japan. One employee of a shipping company said: "I was confused at first but I thought it wouldn't be bad to have a war survival kit at home after watching recent news.".

What is Heaven All About? - Two Minute Message - Duration: 2:02.
- Hey everybody, Daniel Fusco here.
Welcome to today's Two Minute Message.
Today I wanna talk with you about heaven.
What is heaven?
Now, here's the thing you need to realize,
according to the Bible, this life
we're on a journey, a pilgrimage through this,
that this is not our forever home, that's where heaven is.
See now heaven is the place where you and I
are no longer limited by time and space.
It's where God dwells and where we know,
just as we are known.
The book of Psalms says that in heaven
there is fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore.
That word fullness literally speaks of a glass
that is so full that everything is pouring out over it.
So when I think of heaven, I realize that I wanna be there,
but for many people, heaven and the idea of heaven,
is off-putting because this is the only life that we know,
and for many people, they're giving up
their ability to experience life on this side for heaven.
Now what I always tell people is that Jesus is interested
in us maximizing our lives,
this life and the next life.
He wants to give us an abundant life now
through the power of the Holy Spirit
and he wants to give us an eternal life in the hereafter.
And we wanna have all of that
because eternity is important.
But what's also beautiful is that
for those of you who have put your faith and trust in Jesus,
and I pray that all of you are doing that,
that all of you are walking with Jesus.
When Jesus places his Holy Spirit in you,
through your faith in him,
you get to be a little slice of heaven here on earth,
that because the spirit of God is changing
and transforming us, now all of the sudden,
we get to experience a little bit of heaven
right here on this side,
until we get to to be there later.
So listen, we wanna respond to this.
What does it look like for you to be a little slice
of heaven for people on this side of earth?
For you to be salt and light,
to show people what heaven is gonna be like,
that you're almost trailer for heaven
in this life right here and right now.
Also, share this video
because as soon as this life has passed,
only what we've done for Christ will last
and we want to be able to have people's eyes on heaven
and have a heavenly mindset.
God bless you guys, I'll see you real soon.

[HEALTH]7 Reasons Love is Good for Your Heart - Duration: 5:04.
7 Reasons Love is Good for Your Heart
No other organ in the human body can measure up to the heart's social reputation.
References to the heart paint our pop culture — sonnets ("How do I love thee?"), songs ("My Heart Will Go On," "Hungry Heart"), everyday idioms ("heart of gold," "broken heart").
Most of the heart's fame, of course, comes from its connection to good old L-O-V-E.
So it's a bit of scientific serendipity that the act of loving another — be it your mom, your spouse, your pup, your BFF — actually improves your heart health.
Read on to find out how and why a little lovin' helps your ticker. 2 / 8 Spending Time With a Loved One Lowers Blood Pressure.
Not like you need another excuse to veg out with your best friend or cozy up with your significant other, but here's one anyway.
A study in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine found that people who spent time with their romantic partners experienced a greater dip in blood pressure than those who hung out with a stranger.
Researchers correlated the blood pressure drop to sweet silence — less talking and more "perceived emotional support," like the kind you would get from someone who knows you really well, so you could easily experience the same benefits from hanging out with your partner in crime as you would with a marital partner.
3 / 8 Your Heart Gets a Workout When it Goes Pitter-Patter.
When you lock eyes with the person who makes your heart race — whether it's a new crush or the love of your life — your brain releases hormones such as dopamine, adrenaline, and norepinephrine, which make your heart beat faster and stronger.
These short-lived spikes can train your heart to pump blood more efficiently, similar to the way aerobic exercise would (though to a lesser extent, of course).
Yep, you still need to hit the treadmill no matter how much love you have in your life. 4 / 8 Hugs Are Good for the Heart.
Could a hug a day keep the doctor away? When you partake in a warm embrace with someone you love (like a parent, child, or spouse), your body releases oxytocin, the feel-good hormone, which has the power to reduce stress hormones and lower blood pressure, according to research from the University of North Carolina.
5 / 8 Laughter Makes Your Blood Flow More Freely.
Have you had a good laugh yet today? Call up a good friend or family member, stat! Recent research from the University Of Maryland School of Medicine presented at the 2011 European Society of Cardiology (ESC) annual conference found a link between mental stress and the narrowing of blood vessels, which can restrict blood flow and lead to atherosclerosis.
Laughter, however, had the opposite effect. So get the pals you love most together for a good chuckle more often.
For the study, participants watched segments of a funny movie, like "There's Something About Mary" on one day and a stressful movie such as "Saving Private Ryan" on another day.
The stressful film caused vasoconstriction, or narrowing of the blood vessels, while the comedy caused the vessels to expand.
"The magnitude of change we saw in the endothelium [blood vessel lining] after laughing was consistent and similar to the benefit we might see with aerobic exercise or statin use," Michael Miller MD, a professor of medicine and lead investigator, said in a release from the ESC.
6 / 8 Love Letters Can Lower Cholesterol. Feeling love is one thing, but writing about it appears to be a completely different way of reaping the health benefits.
In two randomized, controlled trials published in Human Communication Research, healthy college students who spent 20 minutes writing about their affection for loved ones (friends, relatives, and/or romantic partners) experienced significant drops in total cholesterol (the mean cholesterol levels reduced from 170 mg/dL to 159 mg/dL), while students in the control group, who wrote about random topics, did not.
7 / 8 A Positive Attitude Reduces Heart Attack Risk. Research published in the European Heart Journal shows that having a positive outlook on life can protect against cardiovascular disease.
The researchers defined "positive affect" as feeling joy, happiness, excitement, enthusiasm, and contentment, all of which may stem from having people you love in your life.
Researchers measured each participant's level of positive affect based on a 12-minute in-person interview and checked health records over the following 10 years to look for incidences of cardiovascular disease.
They found that people who scored even a single point higher for positive affect had a 22 perfect lower risk for cardiovascular disease.
They also found that those with higher positive affect were more likely to be female, less likely to smoke, had lower levels of total cholesterol, and lower levels of hostility and anxiousness, suggesting that a positive attitude contributes to better health overall, according to the study.
8 / 8 Holding Hands Calms Nerves. Holding hands with someone you love has a calming effect on the body, according to a study published in Psychological Science.
Researchers recruited happily married couples and placed each woman in an M.R.I. scanner, preparing her to feel a mild shock to the ankle.
Of course, the women were anxious. But feeling their husbands' hands (the husbands reached into the scanners) reduced the women's brain activity associated with anticipating pain. The study also found that a stranger's touch provided comfort, but less so than a spouse.
High stress and anxiety are linked to high blood pressure, increased heart rate, and other factors that can contribute to heart disease, such as weight gain.
In the stresses and worries of everyday life, this research lends new meaning to the phrase "helping hand.".

WHY THIS MORRIS MINOR IS THE BEST CAR FOR LONDON - Duration: 9:02.
Welcome to the Silent D Motor Show.
I'm your host Silent D. In this episode we're
going to take a drive around London in this very unique Morris Minor.
But first
let's go and meet the builder and owner Matt at his garage and he will explain exactly
why it's so unique and why this is quite possibly the best, and certainly most
affordable car, you can drive in London right now.
Hey Matt, thanks for letting us
check out your Morris Minor.
Hey Erlend, how you doing?
Good, how are you?
Very well thanks.
Would you like a cup of tea?
Yes, please.
Brilliant.
Here you go! Thank you!
So it's a 1953 Series II Morris Minor.
That we have taken..., it's completely original,
so we've taken out the 1098 motor that was originally in it, and
we've replaced that with an electric motor and batteries.
And who's... who are we?
That's your company, right?
So it's London Electric Cars, something I started in December last year and
I'm trying to figure out ways of getting people driving electric cars in a more
affordable way.
Can we have a look? Yes, absolutely!
We have nine prismatic
Thunder Sky cells at the front, we've got another 16 in the boot where the fuel
tank used to be.
The motor is under the front battery pack.
You can just see it
through the grill and it's bolted directly to the original gearbox, so we
kept the gearbox, four-speed gearbox.
So you can use the gears if you want to.
But in reality, I tend to, you start in second, drive around like an automatic
and then occasionally put it into fourth, and skip third gear, and the fourth is a
straight-through drive gear, so it becomes completely silent.
Can we take it for a ride?
Absolutely!
Let's go for spin.
So we're in second gear right now, as a start, I didn't use a clutch, you'll see I'm
just on the gas basically.
And then...
And when we get going I'll stick it in forth.
And it just becomes completely quiet.
And here watch, if we stick to forth,
so clutch in, into fourth.
Now we're in fourth, can you hear that's a
street through drive.
Noise completely disappears.
So the Morris Minor is
basically the Volkswagen Beetle of England, right? Yes, it's the British Beetle.
Exactly.
They made over a million of them.
They made them for 20 years basically, maybe 25 years.
Every British family has like a story of,
you know, the Minor in the family.
And they made.. like I've seen the Pickup, Van...
Yeah!
Yeah! The Traveler,
the Convertible, and then also quite often they'll take the
Saloon, the two-door Saloon like this and turn it into Convertible.
Yeah, they made
tons of variants.
The Vans are very sought-after.
And it's one of those cars, that you know, you find them everywhere, and that's part
of the, the sort of argument of getting people to drive old electric, so old cars
convert to electric, is just that they're cheap.
Getting spare parts for it is really easy.
Every junkyard seems to have a few in them.
And they're just so easy to maintain.
The average journey in London is 4 to
5 miles.
This has a range of 45 miles.
Which is...
I've done that.., you know, some
people might say oh that's a bit short, but it's been done because that's...
it's much cheaper.
The most expensive parts of the car is the battery pack.
And
in this case it's got a 13 kilowatt battery pack.
If you compare that to say
a Tesla where I think the base model is now 75, used to be 65, and they got rid of
that, and now I think it's 75.
So they're 75 kilowatts to 100 kilowatts, this is 13.
Imagine the difference in cost.
But if the average journey in London is 4 to 5 miles,
and this can do 45 miles on a charge...
I charge it once a week.
I charge it
at home, and yeah just sort of when I feel like it really.
And you told me earlier that
it's about 1 pound per charge.
Yes.
So you spend fifty quid a year.
Yeah, well, and
then and then as you're saying you don't condone it but there's an awful lot of
unclaimed 13 amp sockets lying around London, and people are very generous, you
know, if you rock up in your electric car and you say - do you mind if I plug in for
a few hours?
They say - yeah, go for it!
You know, they want to talk to you about it.
So, to be honest I rarely pay to charge it.
We're in the Congestion Zone right now, which means...
that to enter it you have to pay 12,50 pounds these days.
Per day?
Per day, yep.
But with this being an electric car,
it's free.
Road tax, this is free.
It's also free because it's an old car, if
your car is over 40 years old you don't pay road tax.
And what about insurance?
So insurance...
It's classic car insurance, but you then call them up and say it's been
converted and they'll generally then use that as an excuse to charge you a bit more,
but not a lot.
You also become really aware when you're in a car like this how gross
all the other cars are.
You know, it's just that they're just sitting here,
particularly these taxis.
Just [engine noise].
I smile at other electric car drivers because we're
the sort of fellow non-polluters, but obviously they can't tell that I'm in
an electric car, so they just think I'm crazy!
So there's like nothing on this
car other than the lack of the noise of the combustion engine that would give it away?
Well the lack of exhaust pipe.
Oh yeah there's that.
And then the fact I've got a big sign in the back
window, but you only see that if you're behind me, so...
So people are being like
really nice to you when you drive around in this, right?
Oh totally!
You can get away with anything?
Yeah, so for example we're about to make a right-hand turn here I'm not allowed to
make a right-hand turn, but I don't think anyone's gonna complain.
No, no, hold on, I can't do this,
there's a police car here.
They're gonna give me shit.
So what would you say are
good cars is to do this kind of conversions?
Well, so, I would say.. all the Morrises are great, lots of people have
done Beetles.
Those are the sort of main ones you get coming out of California.
But yeah anything really.
I mean as long as there's plenty of space, which most
of these cars do have these days, they have tons, you know, compared to
modern cars, there's so much space in them, because it's just not all the...
What about a Volvo 240?
Ah, hell yeah!
I think that'd be awesome to do!
Thank you!
So Matt, are you gonna let me try driving this car?
I don't know Erlend.
Huh, yeah go then.
Hehe ok.
So what do I gotta do?
Just try..
If you put your foot on the gas you'll hear the
motor to spin a little bit. Gently.
Can you hear that?
Yeah.
Okay, so then you just put it into second gear.
You don't need to put the clutch down.
Oh. Straight into second gear.
There you go.
And then you just go!
This is easy enough.
Yeah.
Did you feel the engine braking there?
Yeah.
That's the re-gen braking.
Can also feel how right when you put your foot down there's a slight pause,
because I turn down like the initial hit from the torque just to save the old
drivetrain, it just slightly feeds in.
I feel like it's really responsive though.
Oh yeah yeah yeah, I mean,
if you jam it, it'll go!
Wow.
This is fun, this is awesome.
I love this!
Thank you so much for letting me shoot this episode, for letting me try your car.
My pleasure.
Absolutely.
It's been a lot of fun.
Yeah. I think so too.
And also thank you so
much to you for watching.

You missed Big Ben bonging for the last time
for like 4 years.
Everyone got terribly emotional about it for no particular reason.
What's that about?
Big Ben. They're repairing it. You can see how they're covering it all up.
So it stopped bonging. It stopped its ringing.
And they all got really, all the traditionalists got really upset about it.

Caitlyn Jenner 'worries daughter Kylie is too young to have a baby' - Duration: 2:59.
Caitlyn Jenner 'worries daughter Kylie is too young to have a baby'
Caitlyn Jenner is reportedly excited but also worried about Kylie Jenners rumoured pregnancy. The 20-year-old TV personality is believed to be expecting her first child with her boyfriend Travis Scott, but Caitlyn has mixed feelings about her youngest daughters baby news.
Caitlyn is excited for Kylie but is also worried and thinks she is too young to move forward with such a big life decision like this, a source said.
Caitlyn, 67, has pledged to support Kylie through her pregnancy, but the former Olympian questions whether becoming a mother at such a young age is a good idea.
In particular, she thinks it could distract the brunette beauty from her money-spinning make-up business. The insider told Us Weekly: Caitlyn is supportive of her daughter, of course, but she doesnt necessarily think this is the right time for Kylie.
She has a hugely successful business and Caitlyn doesnt want to see that taken away from her. By contrast, a source previously claimed that Kylies family are over the moon with the prospect of the reality star having a baby.
The source said: The family is over the moon! Kylie loves how close knit her family is and is thrilled to bring that to her immediate family. Kylie feels more prepared than ever to be a mom..
Meanwhile, another insider revealed Kylie had always wanted to be a young mother.
The source explained: Kylie is doing well and is happy. Kylie always wanted to be a young mom. She may be young, but shes very maternal and has lots of practice with babies!.
Shes a very hands-on aunt and was basically a step-mom to Tygas kid. The baby will be very well cared for and so loved. Kylie is excited that her baby will have cousins close to her age too!.
We have reached out to representatives for Kylie and Caitlyn Jenner.

Khloe Kardashian is pregnant with her first child, according to US reports
KHLOE Kardashian is reportedly expecting her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson. Us Weekly reports that multiple sources have confirmed the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is pregnant.
Khloe Kardashian is expecting her first child with boyfriend Tristan Thompson. TMZ are also reporting the news and claim the reality star is three months pregnant.
They also claim that Khloe conceived naturally - after previously undergoing fertility treatments with ex-husband Lamar Odom - and doesnt know the sex of the baby.
It comes just days after her youngest sister Kylie Jenner, 20, was revealed to be expecting her first child with boyfriend Travis Scott.
Khloe has been open about her desire to start a family for years and it was first reported back in August that she was pregnant.
Heat magazine reported that Khloe, 33, and NBA basketball player Tristan, 26, were on cloud nine after discovering the happy news. The insider revealed: Everyone is so happy Khloess going to be a mom at last. Shes wanted this for so long.
Khloe, 33, and Tristan, 26, have been dating for a year. To say this is a magical time in her life doesnt do it justice. Shes on cloud nine from morning to night..
The couple met late last year and have been dating since then with Khloe diving her time between LA and Cleveland.
Speaking during season 13 finale of Keeping Up With The Kardashians, Khloe joked that she and Tristan would be having enough kids to form their own basketball team.
She said: He wants to have, like, five or six kids with me, and thats lovely.
We could start at one and then grow from there. But now, knowing Im not on birth control, its really scary. Its like a really big step.. Cleveland Cavaliers player Tristan is already dad to son Prince from a previous relationship.
Khloe told ES magazine: I would love to have a family. Weve talked about it. He [already] is a father, and I know for a fact that he would be an impeccable father.".
Khloe Kardashian reveals she was told Lamar Odom had died after his overdose in 2015. Meanwhile, it was reported today that Kylie is expecting a baby girl and is already five months pregnant.
The 20-year-old's boyfriend Travis Scott, 25, has been telling friends they are having a daughter, reports TMZ.
Kylie Jenner is reportedly already five months pregnant.
Travis has reportedly been telling pals for two months. The US website claims the rapper has been privately discussing Kylie's pregnancy with pals for nearly two months.
The news means that Kylie's baby will be due around January, which is the same time that sister Kim is expecting to welcome her children via surrogate.
Kylie Jenner says shes desperate to be a mum in flashback video from when she was 15.

Why kumamon is so popular ? - Duration: 10:32.
Hi guys, today I like to talk about why kumamon is popular around the world.
wai, so cute
this is a very serious program
because I am going to analyze why kumamon is so popular in Japan
in Asia
and even around the world.
Before I talk about why it is popular
We have to know a little bit of history about kumamon
if you don't know about the history
it is hard to understand why it is popular
it is hard to analyze what happened
actually, Kumamon came to the world in 2010
the main reason he came to the world
due to the open of kyushu train
kyushu railway is connected between Osaka and kyushu
well, I like osaka
I wanna go there
When the shinkansen operates, many people in kansai can go to kyushu
It doesn't mean they like to come to kumamoto prefecture
because of the large network of railway, people not only go to kumamoto prefecture
but also miyazaki
I am not talking about the movie director, miyazaki
I like him so much though
especially (I like) this pig movie
this girl movie
and (I like) every movie made by miyazaki
except miyazaki prefecture
also kagoshima
If you watch 5 centimeters per second \
for the second Episode
the episode is in tanegashima
I really like this movie, as the pictures are so beautiful !
the kumamoto governor was worried about other ppl travelling to other prefectures
that's why in 2010
the govt created this cute, fat, black guy
you are fat
most of the people get to know kumamon after 2012
Kumamon has become super famous after 2012
now we focus more on from 2010 to 2012
these 3 years
what happened in these 3 years ?
especially the crucial period in 2011
and 2012
you see in 2011
the sales of kumamon items were just around 2 billion yen
but in 2012
around 30 million yen
these are the crucial years
I like to talk about how I analyze it first
for me, I not only focus on the marketing strategies
of course I will talk about some strategies such as
Kumamoto governor said he did the ground battle strategies (from this book)
They did the sky battle strategies
we will talk about these in the end
as I think many people have talked about these before
first I will look at the economic situation (in japan in 2011 and 2012)
or the political situation
and other environmental factors
in japan from 2010 to 2012
at the same time, we will look at timing
did they do something at the right time ?
for example
the free licensing marketing strategy
there are many Japanese idol groups or mascots which make use of this strategy
for example, mikarika
these twins idols, yeah, they are so beautiful !
I want 2 of them to be my girlfriends
Hug both of them while sitting on the sofa
I 'm just joking
I'm just joking
by the way, what am I talking about ?
they also use the free licensing strategy (to let other parties use their photos for commercial purpose)
in 2013
of course they are also popular in Japan
but not as popular as kumamon
Now kumamon is as popular as pikachu
doraemon
or even sailor moon
so it is worth studying why it is popular
actually, the kumamoto governor used the free licensing strategies in 2010
in 2010, there were around 9000 applications for the use of kumamon icons
free of charge
in 2011
the sales of kumamon items were just around billion yen
in 2012, there was a big difference in terms of sales
it was around 30 billion yen !
there must be something that happened in 2011
I think everyone can guess it, yeah
there was one big event that happened in 2011
this was the ...
tsunami
in 311
this was a very horrible disaster
the 311 tsunami negatively affected Japanese economy and it went very down
the most important point was that many visitors were afraid of visiting Japan
they were afraid of going to Tokyo
they were afraid of going to osaka
tohoku region
and even hokkaido
Many of them were not afraid of earthquakes, but radiation
Many of the visitors to Japan are asians
from Hong Kong, Taiwan, south Korea
or china
they were afraid of radiation as many of them have got kids
many of them were going to have kids as well
but you see in 2012
sorry for the Japanese graph
but no worry, you just have to look at the years of 2011 and 2012
there was a big jump for number of people coming to kyushu in 2012
this graph is about the visitors to Kyushu
there was a big jump. you know the reason, right ?
because people were afraid of going to Tokyo
many of them changed their destination to kyushu
at the same time
the kyushu railway was also connected with osaka
in 2012, people in kansai area
when they went travelling, they didn't go to tohoku region (due to radiation)
but going south
there were more people going to the south part
at the same time, other Asian travelers swarmed to kyushu for visit as well
the exposure of kumamon increased
in 2010 and 2011
kumamoto governor did many marketing (campaign) in Osaka
the governor made a "fake" press conference
to say that kumamon hanged around in Osaka
if they did it after 2 years later
if they did it right now (in 2017), actually it doesn't work
because at that time
there were not so many youtube videos
in japan
at that time, even hajime was not that famous
it is easy for the governor to spread the message (he wanted)
to tell the people in osaka what kumamon did
there are not so many Japanese governor to do such unusual thing
to make this kind of joke
with the mascot
that's why it drew the attention from people in Osaka
we also have to give credit to osaka people
if they did it in other prefectures
it might not work
people in Osaka are well known for its funniness and friendliness.
they liked this joke,and searched for kumamon as well
it created the big news in osaka
even all over Japan
to give a high opportunity for the exposure of kumamon
Moreover
the value of yen in 2012 went down, down and down
what does it mean ?
it means it's easy for Japanese companies to export the products all over the world
at the same time, it's easy to attract customers coming to Japan
as they could buy cheaper yen and traveled in Japan
it was the reason to attract tourists coming to Kyushu to visit
at that time
kumamoto government offered the free license for companies
to use kumamon items
many of those companies were foreign companies
that exported the products (related to kumamon) all over the world
of course, you have to appreciate the marketing strategies from the kumamoto government
I mentioned there were sky battle and sky battle (strategies)
I like to talk about the ground battle strategies first
they sent kumamon to participate in different kinds of events
you see from the ground battle strategies
kumamon did many things for kids
like visiting kindergartens
like visiting elementary schools
and many videos about kumamon, for example, teaching kids how to take train properly
actually, they made kids fall in love with kumamon
this's a very good marketing strategy
as kids like it, kids would ask their parents to bring them to kumamoto
kids would ask their parents to buy something about kumamon as well
it's a very smart strategy
if you wanna sell the products
if the kids like it
it's easy to get money from their parents
for the sky battle
I have to give a credit to the kumamoto governor
when they visited different countries
they would bring this fat guy
so cute !
I like doraemon
to help increase the exposure of kumamon as well
That's why I mentioned about ground battle and sky battle strategies
there are many factors to make kumamon so popular
like 311 earthquake
to get more people who came to kyushu
People in Osaka like it, so many people in kansai area came to visit kyushu
at the same time
Asian people like cute things
free licensing strategies
the right timing
the value of yen went down
it helped Japanese companies to export the products to the world way more easily
there are many factors in fact
That's what I think about why kumamon is so popular
maybe I am wrong
you may leave your comment below (to let me know)
I could tell you guys what episode I am going to make next time
My next video is called " the decline of dragon ball "
many people like to talk about the quality of dragonball
this one is from dragon ball super
this one is from dragon ball Z (HAHA)
you see the qualities are big differences
is a huge difference
I like to talk about why the quality is of big differences
why happened ?
why people keep complaining but keep watching it
I will analyze it and this video will be made next week
this kind of video takes time for preparation and editing
not that easy in fact
Thanks for watching it. See you next time, good bye
