Sørensen: Google celebrates the creator of pH scale with a Doodle

Søren Peder Lauritz Sørensen, the trailblazing chemist who introduced the pH scale to the

world, is celebrated in a Google Doodle.

The Danish scientist introduced the scale as a method for testing the acidity or alkalinity

of a substance, which still has a wide range of real-world uses to this day.

Here, we look at five things you need to know about the scientist.

He almost didn't study chemistry.

The son of a farmer, Sørensen was born in Havrebjerg in 1868 and began his studies at

the University of Copenhagen at the age of 18.

However, rather than chemistry, the young scientist initially had ambitions to forge

his career in the field of medicine.

Under the tutelage of the influential chemist SM Jørgensen, he decided to turn his ambitions

to chemistry.

He didn't spend his whole life in the laboratory

Like most students, Sørensen sought employment to make ends meet as he was working towards

his degree.

While studying for his doctorate, he also acted as assistant in chemistry at the laboratory

of the Danish Polytechnic Institute and assisted in a geological survey of Denmark.

However, in a slightly more unusual step, he also managed to find work as a consultant

at the royal naval dockyard.

He ran probably the best laboratory in the world Sørensen served as the director of

the chemical department at the Carlsberg Laboratory in Copenhagen from 1901 to 1938.

The laboratory was opened by Carlsberg brewery founder JC Jacobsen in 1875 with the aim of

furthering biochemical knowledge, especially in the field of brewing.

Although many will be thankful to the brewery for its work in the 19th Century isolating

the yeast now used to brew lager, Sørensen made an arguably more important discovery

while working there.

He devised the pH scale.

Sørensen's most notable achievement was his introduction of the pH scale, which is

used to this day to describe the acidity or alkalinity of a substance or solution.

The scientist developed the scale during 1909, developing two methods for measuring acidity

of substances.

Measurements of pH are now important in a variety of fields, including medicine, water

treatment and chemistry.

He had a lot of help from his wife

Throughout his working life, Sørensen was assisted in his studies by his second wife,

Margrethe Høyrup Sørensen, herself a scientist.

Working at the Carlsberg Laboratory, the pair studied lipo proteins and researched the complexes

of carbon monoxide and hemoglobin.

In 1917, the husband and wife became the first people to successfully crystallize egg whites

during an experiment at the lab.

Language and the Arrow of Time - Duration: 18:49.

Welcome to the Endless Knot!

Today we're going to look at the direction of time and see if the word arrow can point

the way!

"Time flies like an arrow".

We all know that's not literally true, but it's easily understood by any English speaker.

It's a way of talking about an abstract (time) in terms of something more concrete

(place).

Why do we push meetings back, look forward to tomorrow, fall behind schedule, wait a

long time, and take a short break?.

These ways of understanding the world, known as spatio-temporal metaphors, are introduced

to us so early that they seem completely natural and objective truths, but in fact they're

different from culture to culture, and looking at them closely can open up all sorts of fascinating

avenues to explore.

The phrase time's arrow was coined by English astronomer, physicist, and mathematician Sir

Arthur Eddington in 1928 to describe the asymmetry of time, always flowing from the past to the

future, though the similar phrase arrow of time had already been used in 1917 colloquially

to refer to the ever-flowing nature of time.

Eddington had noted that at the microscopic level processes could be time-symmetric operating

in either direction without breaking any physical laws, but at the macroscopic level things

operated in one direction only, toward the future.

For Eddington this was the result of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics: the

total entropy of a closed system never decreases over time, or to put it another way a closed

system always moves from order to disorder.

Why this asymmetry exists, and why it doesn't on the microscopic level, is still an unsolved

question in physics.

This arrow of time can be seen in many areas of science, including psychology.

We perceive time in only one direction.

We know the past, not the future.

So the cognitive arrow of time, and the language we use to describe it, points in one direction.

However, as we'll see, that direction is variable.

And since we're using an arrow, something that points a direction in space, as a metaphor

to describe which way time points, we should first have a look at the word arrow, and the

arrow as a physical object, and see how it became a symbol, and eventually a metaphor

used in both thought and language to construct our understanding of time.

The word arrow comes from Old English forms earh and arwe (which may have been influenced

in form by Old Norse), which go back to Proto-Germanic *arkhwo and Proto-Indo-European *arku-.

The curious thing about the root *arku- is that it seems to have meant bow and/or arrow.

In the Germanic languages, like English, it produced words with the sense "arrow",

but in Latin it produced arcus meaning "bow", which came down through French and into English

giving us archer and archery, but also arc and arch because of the bow-like shape these

words describe.

The word bow, on the other hand, comes from the Proto-Indo-European root *bheug- "to

bend" because of its curved shape.

The Latin word for arrow is sagitta, of unknown origin, possibly from a pre-Latin Mediterranean

language, from which we get the word Sagittarius, the zodiac constellation representing a centaur

with a bow and arrow.

But we'll come back to this word and astrology and other forms of predicting the future.

The bow and arrow is a very ancient technology.

The earliest archaeological evidence of the arrow, which may or may not have been shot

from a bow, was found in the Sibudu cave, located in what is now South Africa, in which

were also found a number of other technological firsts, such as the earliest bed, the earliest

needle, and the earliest compound glue.

This arrow dates to about 64,000 years ago, but the earliest conclusive evidence of an

arrow meant to be shot from a bow, shown by the groove in its base, dates to about 10,000

years ago.

The technology spread worldwide (except perhaps Australia) and was widely used for both hunting

and warfare.

In terms of archery in warfare in the western tradition, it can be found in Greek mythology

(Herakles and Odysseus are both associated with the bow, and it appears in Homeric battles),

but by the later classical period, when formation fighting was predominant, archery in warfare

fell out of use in many Greek cities, and was even associated with foreignness (for

instance the Persians used archers).

Initially archery wasn't really a part of Roman warfare either, but later in the history

of the Empire, the Romans gradually used auxiliary archers drawn from parts of the empire that

did have a history of archery in warfare.

And it could be said that one of the factors of the collapse of the western empire was

the threat posed by the devastatingly effective mounted archers of the Huns.

During the European middle ages archers became important on the battlefield but there was

a class distinction: the nobility were knights, heavily armoured mounted cavalry, because

maintaining the equipment for this, including the horse, was very expensive, and all the

famous stories of chivalry involved the noble class of the knights, whereas the archers

were of the lower classes (Robin Hood and his gang were outlaws so their weapon was

appropriately the bow and arrow).

But eventually the archers won the day, being the decisive factors in battles between the

English and the French such as the Battle of Crécy and the Battle of Agincourt, made

famous in Shakespeare's Henry V, with the English longbow marking the beginning of the

end of the age of chivalry.

Of course archery too became obsolete as firearms were developed, and this is only the briefest

of historical accounts of the bow and arrow, which could also have included for instance

archery in Asia or the Americas or anywhere else in the world.

And there are places named arrow, companies named arrow, and vehicles named arrow, such

as the ship Arrow which was detained in 1856 sparking the Arrow War between Britain and

China, better known as the Second Opium War, and the Avro Arrow fighter jet prototype which

was designed by a Canadian company in the 1950's but ordered destroyed by the Canadian

government in favour of US-designed fighters amid much controversy and even conspiracy

theories.

But we're going to leave these aside and take aim at the arrow as symbol, specifically

a typographical symbol.

As a symbol the arrow shape mimicked the shape of a real arrow, a shaft with a triangular

arrowhead at one end and the fletching (the feathery stabilizing fins) at the other, but

gradually over time the shape became abstracted and streamlined.

There were of course precursors to the arrow symbol that served the same role of pointing

to something, such as picture of a footprint next to a woman's face carved into the pavement

in the ancient Greek city of Ephesus in the first century CE: follow the direction of

the footprint and you'll find the local brothel.

Moving on from feet, if fingers are more your thing, medieval manuscripts are the place

to look.

The image of a pointing finger, called a manicule from Latin manus "hand", was frequently

used in manuscripts to mark or divide sections in the text, a practise that dates back to

the 12th century.

Similarly the Portuguese cartographer Pedro Reinel seems to have established the use of

the fleur-de-lis on the compass rose pointing the cardinal directions, north, south, east,

west.

But the arrow as a typographical symbol really only dates back to the 18th century.

For instance in 1737, the French engineer and pioneer of hydraulics Bernard Forest de

Bélidor published a treatise called Hydraulic Architecture which included technical diagrams

with arrows to indicate the flow of water in the machines.

Interestingly, one of Bélidor's other claims to fame was that he worked for a while on

calculating the arc, that is the curvature, of the earth, and the word arc as we've

seen is related to arrow.

Similarly the German illustrator and engraver Friedrich Bernhard Werner began to use arrows

to indicate the direction of the flow of rivers in his maps and illustrations.

And over time as the arrow symbol became more abstracted it could be put to more and more

uses.

In the 19th century English cartographer Emil Reich used triangular arrowheads along curved

lines to show the movement of troops on maps of battles that accompanied John Richard Green's

A Short History of the English People.

And in the 20th century arrows began to be used in logic and mathematical notation, such

as German mathematician David Hilbert's 1922 introduction of the arrow to indicate

logical implication, and a decade later Albrecht Becker's use of the double-headed arrow

to indicate logical equivalence.

And in 1976 mathematician Donald Knuth introduced up-arrow notation for indicating very large

numbers.

And in linguistics, angle brackets or the greater-than and less-than symbols can be

used as arrows to indicate etymological relationships indicating that a word or sound developed

into another over time.

And of course in this very video I've used the famed red arrow in the thumbnail, which

popular You Tube belief has it will increase the views of the video (we'll see if it

works).

So ultimately the arrow can be used as a symbol to indicate or point to something, to show

direction, or to represent some other type of relationship that at least metaphorically

has some sense of directionality to it.

So let's pause for a moment and consider the words symbol and metaphor.

Symbol comes, through Latin, from Greek symbolon "sign or token".

The word originally came to English with a religious context meaning "creed or religious

belief" as the Creed was a "mark" distinguishing Christians from pagans, only gaining its modern

senses of something that stands for something else in the late 16th century and of a written

character in the beginning of the 17th.

The Greek word is made up of two elements, syn "together" and bole "a throwing",

from the verb ballein "to throw".

So a symbol is literally "a throwing of things together", which thus came to mean

a "comparison" and therefore a "sign of whether something is genuine" or "outward

sign".

This idea of comparison is even more evident in the related word parable, which comes from

Greek parabole "juxtaposition or comparison", literally a "throwing beside".

And fittingly for our purposes, Greek ballein is related to the Greek word belos, which

means "arrow".

And from Greek belos we get the English word belomancy, which is a form of divination or

fortunetelling using arrows.

This was a common practise in a number of ancient civilizations including the Greeks,

the Babylonians, the Arabs and the Scythians, and could be performed in a number of ways,

such as tying possible answers to a given question to arrows and seeing which one flew

the farthest.

And this of course brings us back to fortunetelling again and that astrological symbol Sagittarius,

so let's take a quick look at the word fortune as all our arrows converge on the target.

Fortune comes from Latin fortuna meaning "chance, fate, good luck", which was also personified

as Fortuna the goddess of fate with her Wheel of Fortune.

The word fortuna is derived from another Latin word, fors meaning "chance or luck", which

seems to come from the Proto-Indo-European root *bher- "to carry", a root which also

gives us the English verb to bear and the Latin verb ferre "to carry".

So how then did a root meaning "to carry" produce a word meaning "chance or fate"?

Well if this etymology is correct it would be from the notion of "that which is brought",

so then fortune would literally mean "what fate brings".

And interestingly, that same Proto-Indo-European root also came into Greek as pherein "to

carry or bear" which when combined with meta meaning "over or across", leads to

the verb metapherein "to transfer or carry over", especially in the rhetorical sense

of transferring a word to a new sense, and the noun metaphora "transference".

So in a sense, the word metaphor is a metaphor, from physically carrying something across

to metaphorically carrying over a meaning.

And a metaphor is another type of comparison like a symbol.

So finally let's now return to the spatio-temporal metaphors I mentioned in the beginning, and

see how languages talk about time by comparing it to space.

Because the important thing to realise here is that metaphor is not just a literary technique,

but is in fact a way of thinking.

This was an idea most famously pioneered by George Lakoff and Mark Johnson in their 1980

book Metaphors We Live By.

We use metaphor to map understanding from one more concrete domain of experience onto

another more abstract domain.

It's how we get around the problem of thinking about, and speaking about, abstractions.

For instance we borrow from the concrete experience of space to think and speak about time.

What's particularly interesting about this is that different cultures and languages use

different spatial metaphors to think and talk about time, a fact that in recent years has

been explored by cognitive scientists and linguists, such as Lera Boroditsky.

And as it turns out, that arrow of time can be pointed in a number of different directions.

For instance, if you were given a set of pictures that showed different temporal states, like

say a whole apple, an apple with a bite out of it, a half-eaten apple, and an apple core,

and were told to put them in order, if you're an English speaker you'll probably line

them up in front of you from left to right.

But if you're an Arabic speaker you'll probably lay them out right to left, so in

this case it seems that writing direction influences the direction of that arrow of

time, and this seems to hold true for many other languages as well.

These metaphors may even begin before literacy, given that even pre-literate children are

aware that the story in a picture book progresses from left to right as they are read to.

But they don't necessarily map onto other types of temporal thinking, or the language

we use to describe them—for instance, we would never say that Friday is to the left

of Saturday.

Instead, in that sort of situation, in English we use a front-back metaphor when speaking

of time: the past lies behind us and the future lies ahead, we think back on our past and

look forward to the future: Friday is before Saturday.

But the arrow can also point vertically, as Boroditsky found.

In Mandarin, the past can be viewed as up and the future as down.

So for instance the "up month" is "last month" and the "down month" is "next

month".

And when given the same task of ordering pictures, Mandarin speakers were much more likely to

arrange them in a vertical column in front of them.

Now all of these left-right, front-back, and up-down arrangements are relative to the body

of the person using the metaphor.

So in English when we talk about the future being ahead of us and the past behind, we're

using the sagittal plane, from that Latin word sagitta meaning "arrow".

But there are in fact other ways of arranging that arrow without reference to the body,

as Lera Boroditsky and Alice Gaby discovered.

In the languages of Pormpuraaw Australia, such as Kuuk Thaayorre, body-relative spatial

words aren't used but instead the cardinal directions, north, south, east, west.

You wouldn't, for instance refer to your right leg but to your north leg.

People who speak these languages have to always remain oriented in absolute space in order

to use their language.

And what's more, this carries over into their temporal reasoning as well.

When given that same task with the pictures, they would always arrange them east to west,

mirroring the course of the sun in the sky, so a row running left to right if they were

facing north, or a column top to bottom if facing east.

And there seem to be a variety of other shapes and spatial arrangements for time as well,

such as concentric, near and far, up and down hill, and so forth.

Now in English as we've seen, we're accustomed to talking about time in the sagittal axis,

back to front relative to our bodies, with the future in front of us and the past behind.

But this also isn't the only direction that arrow can point.

There are some languages that locate the past in front and the future behind, due to the

fact that we know what has already happened, but can't "see" the future.

This has long been suggested of Ancient Greek, with the word opiso meaning "backward"

in reference to space but "in the future" in reference to time.

A similar claim has been made of the Madagascar language Malagasy (according to Øyvind Dahl),

and other languages as well.

While there has been some criticism of these claims, Núñez and Sweetser very convincingly

demonstrated that this is the case in the South American language Aymara.

The nice thing about their research is that they draw not only on linguistic evidence

of this metaphor, but gestural evidence as well.

And there is one last issue relating to our spatio-temporal arrangements: how movement

is used to think about the passage of time.

One can think either of time moving, as if you are watching a river flow towards you,

as in "the holidays are approaching", or ego-moving, as if you yourself are moving along a path,

as in "we're rapidly coming to the end of the year".

In English, both of these metaphors are available, though this isn't necessarily true in all

languages.

And it turns out, you draw on spatial reasoning actively, so that if you are already predisposed

to thinking of yourself moving in space, by say going on a journey, you are more likely

to think of yourself moving through time.

This sort of thing can affect how we interpret ambiguous phrases such as the sentence "let's

move Wednesday's meeting back two days".

Does this mean the meeting is now on Monday or Friday?

It depends on whether you are thinking from a time-moving perspective or an ego-moving

perspective.

And as a final treat, I'll give you a very brief sampling of my own ongoing research

on spatio-temporal metaphor in Old English.

The full story is much more complex than this, but for now I'll just focus on a few words

meaning past, present, and future, specifically forðgewiten, andweard, and toweard.

Let's start with the word toweard which in terms of physical space can mean "facing,

approaching" or "towards, forwards" but when referring to time means "future",

so the toweard tid is future time, or in grammatical terms the "future tense" (though as we

know, English doesn't really have one of those!).

The word is made up of the elements to which means more or less what to does today, and

weard which means something like "turned toward" coming ultimately from the Proto-Indo-European

root *wert- "to turn".

We still have that element in modern English words like northward, and of course the word

toward itself.

The word andweard means "physically present" or "opposite, facing" and in reference

to time means "the present".

Literally it breaks down in to the elements and or ond meaning "against, opposite"

and that same weard meaning "turned".

And finally forðgewiten is the past participle of the verb forðgewitan "to go forward

or depart", with gewitan on its own meaning "depart".

That prefix forð means basically what you would expect from Modern English, "forth"

or "forward", so the directionality of forðgewiten is perhaps the opposite of what

we might have expected for a word referring to the past.

Forð on its own can be used in temporal senses as well, referring in those cases to a future

time, much like we would say henceforth in Modern English, or in compounds, such as forðweard

literally "forth-turned" used to mean "onward in time, henceforth, or in the future"

and forðgesceaft literally "forth-creation" used to mean "future state or condition".

Putting it all to together then, the future (toweard) is approaching or turned toward

time, the present (andweard) is physically present or turned against time, and the past

(forðgewiten) is the departing time.

And what this suggests is that the metaphor being used, in these words at least, is one

of arriving, being present, and departing.

There are of course a number of other spatial words used metaphorically to refer to time

in Old English, but this gives an idea of what is going on with some of the main ones.

What's important to note here is that the basic words used to refer to the three times

in Old English are different from those in Modern English which are borrowed from French,

ultimately from Latin, and are thus not native Germanic words.

So this raises some questions: do spatio-temporal metaphors change over time as language changes,

and if so how and why?

Well, I don't know the answers to those questions yet, but as time goes by along that

forward-pointing arrow, I hope to learn more — and I'll report back!

So,when you think about the future, where is it?

And are you moving toward it, or is it moving toward you?

Let me know in the comments, and tell me what language or languages you speak and how they

handle time.

New Zealand—the destination of choice

for fabulously wealthy Chinese.

After the United States, Australia, Thailand,

Canada, and the UK.

That's why I came to New Zealand.

To see all it has to offer!

My first stop was in Karaka.

I came to see this stunning, brand-new,

ultra-modern 4,000 square foot, luxury lifestyle home,

sitting on 10 acres of lush countryside.

With four sun-drenched bedrooms,

an expansive high-end kitchen,

and floor-to-ceiling windows.

Plus a heated saltwater pool complete with gas fireplace.

I couldn't wait to get the tour.

So what does a home like this go for?

Well this property is going to auction

and we would expect interest

at upwards of three million.

It is a brand new home,

it's only one and a half years old.

Everything's brand new here.

Wow.

Similar properties have sold in the

four to five million dollars around the area.

Four to five million dollars in the area?

Yes.

So it is a premium area in Karaka.

Is New Zealand still a hot property market for Chinese buyers?

I think New Zealand will always be

a hot property market for Chinese buyers

because of what it offers.

Why are they attracted to this area?

I think it's due to, well,

it's the beautiful environment that Karaka offers,

the lovely openness,

green pastures, fresh air.

There's a very good private school close by,

we do have quite a lot of Chinese people looking in the area.

How many homes in the area

are going to Chinese buyers?

Well, the Chinese buyers,

they've been in the market quite some time now.

I haven't got a percentage

but the last two properties that I've sold in Karaka

have been to Chinese buyers.

How have Chinese buyer affected the property market?

They've offered...

yeah, certainly they've offered competition for local buyers.

Has that affected the prices of the houses at all?

A little bit, yes, yes.

Yes, it has.

Turns out, more than a bit.

According to this report from the Economist,

New Zealand has the most unaffordable houses in the world.

Prices have jumped 75 percent in four years,

largely because of foreign buyers.

And the majority of those are Chinese.

Karaka was so nice that I was thinking of

becoming a foreign buyer myself.

But I couldn't spend all day lounging by

the heated saltwater pool.

I had more luxury homes to visit.

So I was off to Auckland, New Zealand's biggest city,

to check out one of its most sought-after neighborhoods.

I spoke with real estate agent Diana West.

She offered to show me a 3 million dollar suburban home.

It was...a different kind of luxury.

So this house will most likely go for over 3 million dollars?

Absolutely

And so what is the draw to a location like this?

Is it the stunning luxury lifestyle?

Well when you get rid of this and build your luxury home it will be.

But it's the location for the school zones,

you've got Auckland Grammar, Ipsen Girls Grammar,

so it's actually the land value here.

Because it's such, once you get rid of this house,

and build two luxury homes here,

they will be worth easily $3.5 million dollars each.

In this property market,

how many homes are going to Chinese buyers?

I'd say probably 80-90%.

80-90$?!

How has that affected the property prices?

Well it's driven them up hugely

because we've got an influx of population

and seemingly with a lot of funds available

and that has actually driven out a lot of the local buyers.

Has that caused resentment?

Yeah it does.

For a number of years in fact,

the local Kiwi people wouldn't come to auctions

because they said what's the point?

We're going to get beaten so yeah,

there has been resentment.

Okay, so 10 years ago

how much would a house like this have gone for?

Probably a million.

A million.

So prices have basically doubled.

Or tripled in this case.

Because what's happened in the meantime

was the council has changed all the zoning rules,

so you've got properties like this

that would have just been one house,

and now have the ability for multiple dwellings.

Are Chinese buyers still as interested in this market?

There has been a little cooling.

We find in general the Chinese are the first to get on the bandwagon

when they perceive there's a lot of growth in the market,

and then, in general,

they are the first to recede and start to become cautious

when they see the market plateauing

and that's what we believe we're doing at the moment.

The market is cooling a bit.

Yes  it is, a little bit.

Do you think it will ever go back to the pricing of 10 years ago,

before the influx of Chinese buyers.

No, no there's just too much population pressure in Auckland.

Okay.

Particularly in these well sought after suburbs.

Trying to tackle this problem,

the government proposed new laws

regulating foreign buyers.

But Diana thinks its too little too late.

There are proposed laws

that would restrict foreign buyers.

Do you see that affecting the market?

No I don't,

I think it's a bit like shutting the gate

after the horse has bolted.

The real change we saw here

was when they brought in the Bright-Line Tax rules several years ago,

and that requirement was for people

to have a New Zealand bank account

and a New Zealand IRD number,

and that stopped a lot of the foreign speculation

happening from people who did not live here

because they couldn't comply with those rules.

And so that's when we stopped seeing all that happening.

So really, the people who have been buying

for the last couple of years

are generally resident or applying for residency.

So I don't see this ban on foreign ownership

having any difference at all.

I realized that to be able to afford property in New Zealand,

I would need to be fabulously wealthy

to be just moderately well off.

Which gives me an idea....

Welcome to Lifestyles of the Moderately Well Off!

Life is slightly better

for the fabulously wealthy in New Zealand.

Luxury pools

Luxurious lounges

Exotic animals

All on the doorstep of your 3 million dollar dream home.

Behold what the world has to offer

on Lifestyles of the Moderately Well Off!

So I might never be able to own

a luxury property in New Zealand.

But you know what?

Even without a house,

I can still enjoy the moderately well off lifestyle.

6 Ways To SUPERCHARGE Your Energy Levels (WARNING: Not For Everyone!) - Duration: 13:07.

Six ways to supercharge your energy levels.

Warning: this is not for everyone.

Techniques to boost your energy may come as no surprise.

You may think you only had to sleep well,

to eat well, or exercise.

And some of you might even go the extra mile

to optimize your environment, whether by organizing

your room, infusing it with essential oils,

removing distractions, and eliminating toxins!

You may think these are already comprehensive,

but for you diehard energy architects out there,

the list of energy-boosting strategies can go on.

And that's what I'll talk about in this video:

lesser-known secrets about how to take your energy

from amazing, to supercharged.

As some of you already know, we talk a lot about ways

to increase your energy levels here at Activated Potential.

And you might have actually seen a number of other videos!

Well, guess what?

We're not done.

Today, we'll talk some more ways to boost your energy.

But this time, the techniques I'll share

are not for the faint of heart.

Unlike the techniques I've shared in other videos,

these ones are fairly advanced.

In fact, some of you might even consider them to be extreme!

Still, I have a good feeling about this.

I think many of you will still want to give these a shot.

I'll share six ways for you to take it up a notch,

to tap into energy levels

you've never dreamed to be possible.

So are you ready to rev up your engines

and supercharge to the max?

Let's begin!

Number one, long fasts.

Coming in at number one, we have long, long fasts.

How long is long?

For long fasts, they're at least 36 hours.

And I'm not talking about some fat fast,

where you can still consume calorically rich fats.

Nor am I talking about some pretty little juice fast,

where you can still sip fancy little juices!

No, I'm talking about a hardcore,

honest-to-goodness water fast.

No food, no fancy drinks, no nothing.

Just plain water, period.

For at least 36 hours.

So you might ask,

"Why is fasting good for our energy levels?"

I know that seems highly counterintuitive.

When you think of fasting, you probably associate that

with starving, and the image of hunger and fatigue

cannot escape your mind.

But the reality couldn't be further from the truth.

These days, many people are acquainting themselves

with intermittent fasting, and with good success.

They're enjoying boosts of energy!

And while I'm a big fan of intermittent fasting

and even practice it myself, I still think

that occasional long fasts have their place.

And they're effective especially when you want

tremendous boosts in energy.

Okay, so how do we actually get energy from fasting?

There are many factors that could come into play.

The most obvious one, of course, is ketosis.

Have you tried a ketogenic diet?

I'm sure many of you have.

You experienced the energy-boosting

effects of ketones, right?

But there is more to fasting than just that.

One of the biggest factors is the role that fasting plays

in adaptive cellular responses.

These responses can actually optimize your metabolism!

Furthermore, they provide a number of other health benefits,

like decreased inflammation levels,

which in turn could help energize you even more.

In fact, there are numerous other factors

that could be contributing to your energy surges.

Too many to go over in this video.

So please just let me know in the comments below

if you want a video that discusses fasting

in even greater detail!

Let me close off this segment on fasting just by quoting

a manuscript from Longo and Mattson,

published in the journal Cell Metabolism:

"Indeed, a highly conserved behavioral trait of all mammals

is to be active when hungry, and sedentary when satiated."

Number two, nootropics

Next are nootropics.

Nootropics are substances that enhance cognitive function.

Now, many different substances can be called nootropics,

but people debate about what true nootropics are.

You have things like modafinil and racetams,

which are generally accepted as nootropics.

Then you have things like vitamins and magnesium.

They have nootropic effects in that they can increase

your cognitive function,

but some argue that they're just, you know,

just supplements that you can't label as nootropics.

Another candidate on the list of nootropics is adderall,

which can enhance certain aspects of cognitive function:

mainly focus, energy and motivation.

But again, not everyone agrees that they be labeled

as nootropics, because they can actually harm your body.

So as you can see, not everyone agrees!

But for the purposes of this video,

when I refer to nootropics, I'm talking about

all substances that can enhance cognitive function.

And the ones I want to focus on today

are the ones that can enhance your energy levels.

And they do so by varying degrees.

The most potent ones are Modafinil,

Adderall and Phenylpiracetam.

These are very stimulating and might not be for everyone!

They should be used with extreme caution.

Other nootropics enhance energy levels in gentler,

perhaps more passive ways.

Such as by increasing your motivation

or helping you get into a more focused state of mind.

And finally, there are also certain nootropics

that could actually deplete your energy!

Such as Bacopa.

So definitely be careful when selecting the one for you.

If used correctly though, nootropics can certainly boost

your energy to the next level.

Like these tips so far?

If so, before moving on, I'd like to quickly introduce you

to the Ultimate Energy Crash Course!

Your free copy awaits you at activatedbody.com,

and you can find the link right below this video.

The course will provide you with even more tips

on not only how to gain more energy,

but also how to stay more focused

and live your best possible life.

So claim your copy today!

Number three, tDCS.

Next is tDCS.

It sounds deceptively short and simple.

But it actually stands for something

far from short and simple.

Ready for it?

tDCS stands for transcranial direct-current stimulation.

But let's do ourselves a favor and just call it tDCS.

tDCS is a process whereby electrodes are attached

to your head, and a small current is used

to stimulate certain areas of your brain.

Yikes, sounds scary, right?

But don't worry, your brain won't get electrocuted.

The current used is low, and the procedure is very safe.

There are many forms of neurostimulation,

but this one is probably the most effective,

and it's so safe that it can be used at home!

Many people already do.

They use it to improve their cognitive functioning,

but also of course their energy levels!

What's more, promising studies have shown that tDCS

has potential benefits in treating a number of diseases,

such as Parkinson's.

So the future for tDCS is bright.

It's becoming more and more available to the general public,

and it's rising in popularity.

I think we'll see a definitive rise

in the number of tDCS users in the coming years.

Number four, LLLT.

The fourth energy booster is yet another form

of neurostimulation: Low Level Laser Therapy, or LLLT.

LLLT is safer, though probably less effective than tDCS.

In LLLT, you direct certain types of low-level lasers

or LEDs onto your body.

It has been used in medicine to treat pain,

but many people also use it in the same way they use tDCS.

They direct the lasers onto specific parts of their head

to stimulate certain parts of the brain.

As with tDCS, there is a considerable amount of anecdotal

evidence supporting its ability to enhance

cognitive function and boost energy levels.

Number five, TRT.

At number five is something

for all you older adults out there.

And that is testosterone replacement therapy,

or TRT for short.

When we get older,

our testosterone levels drop considerably.

The results are lower energy levels.

Fortunately, you can supplement with testosterone

to bring your levels back up to where they were

when you were just in your 20s!

This practice is called TRT.

TRT can provide a number of health and energy-boosting

effects to both men and women,

and it can truly transform people's lives.

Testosterone can be administered

as pills, creams, or injections.

However, TRT should always be done with a doctor's

supervision, as it will affect your hormones.

But if you go to an anti-aging doctor

and are medically supervised,

it can truly change your life and health for the better.

I recommend that anyone over the age of 40,

or anyone showing signs of low testosterone

talk to their doctor about TRT.

I plan on using TRT when I get older,

and I think you should consider it as well.

Number six, cerebral-electric stimulation.

Now for the final item on our list,

we have another scary-sounding one:

cerebral-electric stimulation.

This is a process whereby your brain is stimulated

with electricity while you're sleeping!

To do this, you need an electrosleep device.

The device is placed on your head, and it provides

your brain with electrical support

to help you get more quality, energizing sleep.

The cool thing is that this also means

you might even need to sleep less!

But let me insert a word of warning:

you can't use the electrosleep device too often.

That's because our glymphatic system still needs time

to clear the waste from our central nervous system

while we sleep.

But for those times where you know you'll be getting little

sleep, then this device can prove to be a real life-saver!

So there you have it:

six ways you can supercharge your energy levels.

Korean boy band BTS tops Billboard 200 - Duration: 2:33.

K-Pop group BTS opened a new road for K-POP music.

This week, the boy band topped the Billboard 200, a chart ranking America's most popular

album of the week.

Hong Yoo highlight the significance of this feat, a first by Korean artists.

South Korean boy band BTS set a new K-pop record this week, reaching the top of the

Billboard 200.

Their new album "Love Yourself: Tear" became the first Korean album to rank first on that

U.S. chart.

Still, they're not the first K-Pop artists to make the Billboard.

That title belongs to the Wonder Girls, who hit the charts in 2009.

And in 2012, Psy of "Gangnam Style" fame reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.

But the only one to make it to the top is BTS.

Not only did they sell the most albums and tracks this week, but for their online activity,

they also won "Top Social Artist" for the second year in a row at the 2018 Billboard

Music Awards.

This was the first time a South Korean artist has won a Billboard music award twice.

There are reasons why it was BTS that wrote a new chapter in K-Pop history.

"Their main difference with other K-Pop artists is that BTS made their way to the top step

by step, already having a fanbase.

They won more fans based on their music, and due to that fandom, BTS was able to make it

into the U.S. Language is no longer a limit in the global

market."

This was the first time in 12 years an album not in English reached this level.

That BTS sings mostly in Korean... clearly isn't a problem for their fans.

I love them so much.

It's really amazing that they came from a non-victory company but could come this far.

It gave so much people hope.

So I don't feel like we are fans and idols but we feel like a big family together.

Their song always includes social issues that many people can relate so much to the song

that they sing in their album.

BTS found a way to reach a global audience with their songs and opened a whole new avenue

for K-pop.

With so much momentum, eyes are on what they'll contribute next to the world of K-pop and

beyond.

Views differ on how long North Korea's disarmament process could take - Duration: 1:57.

There are various political and technical factors to be taken into account when it comes

to the timetable for North Korea's denuclearization.

Some are confident the process could require just a couple of years,... while others say

at least 15.

Park Hee-jun turned to some experts for their analysis.

Views differ about how long it could take for North Korea to denuclearize.

Some experts say it could take well over a decade.

Professor Siegfried Hecker of Stanford University, who's a former director of the Los Alamos

weapons laboratory in New Mexico,... told the New York Times that the disarmament process

would require at least 15 years.

According to a roadmap drawn up with his colleagues at Stanford's Center for International Security

and Cooperation,... denuclearization would happen in three stages.

Step 1 involves halting nuclear tests and all operations at nuclear reactors and related

facilities.

Step 2 is the dismantling of missiles and nuclear facilities,... which would then have

to be monitored and inspected.

Finally, in the third step, North Korea eliminates its nuclear program and joins the non-proliferation

treaty,... redirecting its nuclear scientists and engineers to civilian programs.

The last step alone would take a decade,... meaning a total of more than 15 years.

But other experts say the process could end much more quickly... if the North is determined

to do it.

"I think it's possible for North Korea to denuclearize within President Trump's remaining

years in office,... as long as it chooses to.

And it's likely to,... because the U.S. only ease its sanctions and protect the regime

when it does."

"President Trump has set his own timetable for the North's denuclearization.

If North Korea follows through with the plan until it's no longer a threat to the U.S.,...

it could take maybe two-and-a-half to three-and-a-half years."

So rather than the technological issues of nuclear disarmament,... the main factor could

be North Korea's will and sincerity.
