Science Is No Longer Welcome At The EPA - Duration: 5:29.
Last week, an email was sent out to about half of the members on the EPA's Board of
Scientific Counselors letting them know that their services are no longer needed.
Now, this Board of Scientific Counselors, the people on this board are appointed by
a president, usually serve one to three year terms, and half the people on the board were
just told that they're not going to be renominated for the term.
Your time is up.
Time to get out.
Now, these are members of the scientific community, scientists, and their job is to review the
scientific data that comes into the Environmental Protection Agency to determine, I don't know,
if a new pesticide is safe to use, or if it's safe for humans to come in contact with it,
or if an industrial plant, if the pollution they're spewing out, if that's going to hurt
us.
That was the job of this board, to look at all of that data and make those decisions
and recommendations to keep Americans safe.
Now, half of them are gone, but Scott Pruitt, the climate change denying head of the EPA,
has said that what he's thinking about doing is replacing these scientists with people
from industry.
Now, that should come as no surprise, but it's no less disgusting.
He said he wants to replace scientists with corporate hacks, people who profit off the
destruction of the environment, people who profit off of the suppression of science,
people who profit off of the poisoning of citizens in the United States.
Those are now going to be the people making the decisions about what chemicals are safe
for them to spray on your children, what chemicals are safe for them to spray on your food.
It's not going to be based on science.
It's not going to be based on health and safety data.
It's going to be based on what's best for a corporation.
During the George W. Bush years, the budget for the EPA was a hell of a lot lower than
it was during the Obama years.
That's a given.
George W. Bush, and Obama, put just as many people in the revolving door system from industry
into these agencies as anyone before them, but they never went this far.
Even George W. Bush, as dumb as he seems sometimes, and as much of a war hawk and phony Christian
as he was, he never took it to this level.
He would occasionally listen to the EPA, and he damn sure listened to the Pentagon in 2006
when they told him that climate change is real and is a threat to the United States.
George W. Bush knew that, understood it, and accepted it.
Obama knew it from the beginning because he wasn't an idiot, but now Donald Trump and
Scott Pruitt at the EPA are actually launching a war on science within the administration,
within the agency.
They're replacing scientists, good, hardworking, honest people who have nothing to gain either
way, and they're replacing them with people from industry, people who may have sat on
boards of these corporations, people who may have a financial interest in approving a deadly
chemical, or allowing a corporation to spew pollution into the air and into the water,
that people are then later going to breathe and drink.
That's what we're looking at today.
You know, a lot of things during the Obama years, he had to fix a lot of the mess that
George W. Bush created.
The economy, just in the last two, three years finally kind of started to rebound, unemployment
numbers went down, job creation went up, so after Bush killed the economy, it took a good
fix, six years for Obama to really get her humming again.
It still wasn't perfect by any means, but this kind of assault on something like the
environment, this isn't something that we can fix with the next president, reverse it,
and start it on the right track again.
We're talking about generations of destruction in a matter of years.
You can't just go out there with a vacuum cleaner and suck up all this mess.
It's in there.
It's in the earth.
It's in the air.
It's in the water, for decades.
A lot of the problems caused by the Trump Administration, a lot of the ones that are
predicted to be caused can be fixed.
It'll take time, but they can be fixed, but the reason I like to talk about the environment
so much is because this isn't something we can just reverse.
This isn't something that the next president'll just come in after a few months, "Okay, great.
Environment's all clean again.
Climate change is fixed.
We got this."
No.
That's not how this problem works.
This problem is a problem that is going to plague generations, and the Trump Administration
has made absolutely no qualms about the fact that they are always going to put the profits
of corporations over the safety of the American public.

Where Are The Asian Borders? (Part 2: Europe!) - Duration: 10:53.
*I'm Kento Bento*
This video is sponsored by HiNative Learn languages for free with the HiNative app.
Asia is the largest and most populous continent in the world.
From the physical extremes....
to the cultural
It's a continent that has shown tremendous diversity from one end to the other.
But what exactly counts as Asia?
Where are the Asian borders?
In a previous video, I started defining the borders in a clockwise direction from East Asia
through the boundaries bordering Australia and Africa
ending on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.
If you want to know where exactly the Asian borders lie in those regions
the link is in the description below.
In this video, we'll continue on in our journey to Europe.
Stick around to the end for more details on this Asian border series.
So let's start where we left off, between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.
With Asia being so large and diverse, the continental division can often have more to do with
human geography than physical geography,
and there's no better example of this than the controversial Asia-Europe border.
Now, continents are large continuous, discrete masses of land, ideally separated by expanses of water.
So, we can see all of this is within Asia - Palestine, Israel, Lebanon, Syria and Turkey
actually, I'll get into Turkey in just a minute.
Keep your eye on this red border line as everything contained within will be considered part of Asia
and everything outside, belongs to a different continent.
Ok, but what about the island country of Cyprus?
Since most major islands, by convention, are associated with a continent
Cyprus is usually placed in Asia.
I say 'usually' because while Cyprus' proximity to the rest of Asia makes it Asian to many people
it is sociopolitically a European country.
Cyprus was admitted to the Council of Europe in 1961
and is politically a member of the European Union since 2004.
Sure, it's a little further away than the rest of the EU countries, but according to the EU's own requirements
Cultural and geographic definitions of Europe are intertwined & thus are "subject to political assessment"
Now, for the sake of this video and due to its physical geography
I'm still going to place Cyprus in Asia.
Keep in mind, as with much of the Asia-Europe border, this is not definitive
and can be open to interpretation.
Moving on to Turkey.
If we follow the 'continuous landmass', we can trace the Asian borders along the Aegean Sea,
the Dardanelles and the Sea of Marmara up to, for now, the Turkish city of Istanbul.
We know Greece and Bulgaria are part of Europe so the continental division should be somewhere here
which would put at least most of Turkey in Asia.
As for these islands, it's a lot easier to place the divide along country lines
Most of these are Greek
but of course, just like for Indonesia, it's debatable.
If we take into account a combination of factors including mainland distance, island clusters
and just having more of continental consistency with other archipelagos,
you'll see that quite a few Greek islands can be claimed by Asia, including Chios, Samos and Rhodes.
This is where I'll draw the maritime border, which would technically make Greece a transcontinental country.
And speaking of transcontinental countries, back up here, the continental border is usually placed here
instead of at the Greek & Bulgarian borders, splitting Turkey into Asian Turkey and European Turkey.
This actually makes sense historically and geographically.
If we zoom up on Istanbul, you can see the narrow Bosphorus strait, an internationally significant waterway
already creating a clear, natural divide between the two sides.
This is unlike the man-made division of, say, the Suez canal.
Not only does all this make Turkey a transcontinental country
but it also makes the cities of Istanbul and Canakkale transcontinental cities.
As for whether Turkey as a whole should be considered Asian or European (if we had to choose one)
that's probably too complicated a topic to get into now
but I may do a video on it in the future if enough people are interested.
Now, this is where things get even more complicated.
Since there is no significant geographical separation between Asia and Europe,
from the point of the Black Sea onwards,
the border becomes largely an arbitrary, historical and cultural construct.
And this is a big part of why many people feel Asia and Europe
should never have been considered different continents to start with.
But, let's try to answer this anyway.
Where should the borders be?
If we go with the most long-standing, traditional border convention - I'm talking historically, throughout the ages
since the time of Strabo & Ptolemy till only recently, you have this route.
Continuing along the coast of the Black Sea, and through the Kerch Strait
you find the Sea of Azov (we're now in Russia).
You follow the Don River and Volga River to the Samara Bend,
move across the highland ridges of which I cannot pronounce
then finally follow the peaks or crest of the Ural Mountains
all the way to the Arctic Ocean.
Here, Russia is split into Asian Russia and European Russia.
Now, maybe you feel that the boundary should be defined more along large bodies of water,
such as the Black Sea and Caspian Sea, and since the Kuma-Manych Depression is a valley,
that once upon a time, connected the two into an even larger body of water,
perhaps we should instead have the border move through the Kuma-Manych Depression
along the Caspian coast, and from there the next best option might just be
following the Ural River up to the Ural Mountains, then once again reaching the Arctic Ocean.
This time both Russia and Kazakhstan are split up.
Ok, two choices so far, but we do have a third.
We see that the Ural Mountains divide is the only natural feature that isn't much disputed,
and for good reason, so in keeping with mountainous divides
maybe here the peaks of the Greater Caucasus Mountains is the way to go
instead of the Kuma-Manych Depression.
And you could also argue that just like the Urals, it's the most prominent natural feature in the region.
Now, from here, it's the familiar path along the Caspian coast and Ural River, to the Ural Mountains
I should mention though that some note the eastern foothills of the Ural Mountains
as the borderline instead of the peaks.
Right, this leaves us with three options to choose from - the classical, the water-centric and the mountainous.
Actually there's even more, but these are the main three.
For this video, I'm going to go with the one favoured by most modern-day geographers
and that's the last one, along the Greater Caucasus mountains.
You can see this puts Georgia and Azerbaijan physically in Asia,
with a few bits and pieces technically in Europe.
This can seem odd as the two countries, along with Armenia, are often considered more 'European'
by many people, for reasons historical and sociopolitical.
All three are in the Council of Europe, the EU's Eastern Partnership, and most importantly...
the Eurovision song contest.
Azerbaijan even won it in 2011!
So, you can see how some are adamant that the borders be drawn along country lines.
Of course this completely neglects the concept of a 'natural' continental boundary
which is important since, as we know from history, state borders can change over time,
but natural borders, well they stay relatively consistent.
Moving along to Kazahkstan, the provinces of Atyrau and West Kazakhstan extend on
both sides of the border making it clearly transcontinental.
But still, Kazakhstan is mostly associated with Asia due to the cultural and geographic similarities
to other Central Asian countries.
If we zoom up over here, to the Ural River Bridge in the city of Orenburg, Russia
you'll actually find that on one side of the river, it is labelled and marked 'Europe'
while on the other, it's 'Asia'.
Now, I'm not going to get into whether Russia is considered Asian or European
for reasons similar to Turkey, but it is clear that physically, there's a greater part of it lying in Asia.
So, let's continue the borders over in this North Asian region.
We'll move along the Arctic coast of Russia, which spans the Kara Sea, the Laptev Sea, the East Siberian Sea
There's also the Russian Arctic Islands of Komsomolets, October Revolution, Bolshevik, New Siberian
and many smaller ones.
This brings us to the final leg of our journey.
Here lies the Asia-North America border, where Siberia comes real close to meeting Alaska.
This actually isn't as straight-forward as you might think
and I've decided to cover this final portion, in a separate part 3 video.
I'll be connecting it back to where we started off in East Asia
so make sure you're subscribed to get that.
Now, on this channel we talk a lot about different countries
of which there are of course many spoken languages.
Which brings me to our awesome sponsor for this video, HiNative.
If you're trying to learn a new language, you'll find this super useful.
It's a FREE language-learning app where you can get help with over a 110 different languages
from across the world.
It's really a great app as you can actually communicate with native-speakers of the language.
Nina over here can't stop using it.
She's trying to learn Japanese for our trip to Japan next week.
"Nihongo!"
This is how it works.
You create a profile.
You choose your native language, and any others you may have proficiency in.
Then you choose which language you want to learn.
From there you can either get help from natives of that language
or you can help others with learning your language.
You can ask for translations, phrase meanings, grammar, questions about local culture,
really anything you want.
And this is all made easier with ready-set question templates that you can use.
Ok get this, you can even record your voice and ask if your pronunciation is good
or not so good
and the native community can give you real-time feedback. For example:
Alright, so what do you like eating?
Apples
ok...
Ok, so apples... I thought you'd say that, so
Why don't you say this line?
Alright, I'm gonna try
"watashi wa ringo o tabetai" (Japanese: 'I like to eat apples')
Sound good. And then post!
So they can rate your pronunciation, and give you pointers if needed.
Oh, four people have responded
Yeah, already
Ooh, I'm Japanese
No, you're not Japanese
I'm officially...
No, these people are being generous to you
"watashi wa ringo o tabetai"
I would have given you the second one: "A little unnatural"

Facebook Video vs YouTube – How to Get More Views on YouTube and Facebook - Duration: 4:25.
Facebook Video vs. YouTube – how to get more views on YouTube and Facebook
Where to publish videos – on YouTube or on Facebook?
The obvious answer to this question is of course: publish your videos on YouTube AND
on Facebook, post all your videos on both platforms, and then share your videos as much
as you can!
If you have a new business or are a new video producer, if you are just starting to build
your online presence it's most important that you get visible and that you make your
brand known.
Build a strong personal brand so that you aren't dependent on any specific platform.
Make it possible for you to switch platforms and to be on all platforms necessary to find
your audience.
YouTube and Facebook have had very different algorithms until now, but since the competition
between Facebook and YouTube is becoming much more intense this year I think we will see
a lot of changes and new features in the next few years.
One benefit in using YouTube is that your videos will show up in search results on Google.
YouTube is still the best platform if you have been on the platform for a long time
and already have a lot of views and subscribers.
YouTube's algorithms are favoring channels which already have a lot of views.
YouTube is a search engine, and to get ranked high in searches you must be established on
the platform.
But if you are a new video producer Facebook is the best platform to get you visible, in
my opinion.
So publish a lot on Facebook to get visible, and also post the same (or slightly modified)
videos on YouTube, so that you will be found in YouTube searches and Google searches later
on.
We don't know how Facebook and YouTube will develop their algorithms and features in the
future, but my prediction is that the competition between Facebook and YouTube will result in
better opportunities for new video producers and vloggers on both platforms, because Facebook
and YouTube need to attract the best new content and the best new talents.
So, in conclusion, if you have a new business or are a new video producer:
Posting videos on Facebook is a good way to build a new brand!
Use Facebook for short term visibility, and to be found in searches within Facebook, and
to communicate with your audience in your Facebook Groups and on your Facebook pages,
and to get shared on Facebook.
And post on YouTube to rank in YouTube searches and Google searches, and to build a community
of loyal YouTube subscribers.
Thank you for watching!

My 4 Favorite Baseball Throwing Drills to Throw Harder! - Duration: 3:54.
What's up guys, Coach Madden, official trainer of YouGoProBaseball.com and today I've got
my 4 favorite drills to throw harder in baseball.
Now these 4 baseball throwing drills are great drills if you're trying to throw harder from
shortstop, or second base, or anywhere in the infield, even if you're a catcher, pitcher
even, or outfielder.
These are just general throwing drills, baseball throwing drills, to throw harder and if you
incorporate these 4 baseball throwing drills, you're going to see increases in your arm
strength, in your arm speed, in your velocity across the diamond or wherever you're throwing
from.
So, let's get right into it.
The first baseball throwing drill is going to be Sit Drives.
That's where you sit on a bucket and you really try to drive out of there, drive off of that
bucket and use your legs to drive off and throw that baseball.
Using your legs is very important when you're throwing and trying to throw harder because
that's where you generate all your energy.
The second of the baseball throwing drills is going to be medicine balls.
We know in the first one we were working on our legs, but once we transfer that energy
up our body now we get into our core, our midsection, and we have to have good rotational
energy.
By using the medicine balls we can work on that.
We can become stronger and more explosive through our core.
If we do medicine ball throws from our back hip and from our back shoulder, as well as
hip to shoulder separation medicine ball throws, we're going to have a lot of an increase in
our throwing speed.
The third of the baseball throwing drills is going to be Connection Ball Rockers.
Now, we're continuing up the kinetic chain.
The first drill we worked on our legs, the second drill we worked on our core, now we're
going to get into our arm and our arm action.
What I see a lot of guys do when they are throwing is they'll get real separated back
here.
They'll kind of let this arm drag behind and we don't want to do that.
So how we work on that is by doing Connection Ball Rockers.
The Rocker, we're going to get into this position where we get nice and wide, heel to heel,
we're going to get a connection ball in between our forearm and our bicep, we're going to
go through our Rocker Drill and throw this baseball and stay connected, here, inside
of our 90 degree angle as we throw that baseball.
That's going to help us stay connected, stay loaded, and be able to unload which is going
to make us throw harder across the diamond.
And last but not least, number 4 of the baseball throwing drills we're going to work on our
deceleration.
Again, we're continuing up the kinetic chain, we've talked about the legs generating the
energy, transferring it into our core, and then we worked on our arm here, now we have
to work on the brakes of the delivery.
The brakes of our throw.
If we're throwing and we have bad brakes, we can't go that fast.
If you're in a car that has bad brakes, you don't want to go that fast, do you?
Heck no I don't want to go that fast!
Same thing with throwing.
If you've got bad brakes on your arm, you're not going to want to throw that fast, if you
do, you've got more of a chance of hurting yourself.
So we've got to work on our brakes, we've got to work on the back of our arm, the deceleration.
Alright, how we do that is Reverse Throws.
What you're going to do is you're going to get a weighted ball, you're going to get on
one knee, you're going to put that ball down by your throwing foot, your lead leg foot,
and then you're going to turn, follow the ball with your head and throw backwards.
This is a great way to work on the back of the shoulder and the deceleration muscles.
So those are my 4 favorite drills to throw harder in baseball.
If you like those drills please give me a thumbs up.
If you're interested in throwing harder in baseball and you're going to work on this
stuff, please again, give me that thumbs up.
