Though we might think of film as an essentially visual experience,

never underestimate the importance of sound.

So why is sound so important?

For instance, cresendos create tension

As the volume gets higher and higher

we know something is about to happen.

For example, we associate bright sounds with positive emotions.

Pitch, tempo, and volume can all be manipulated to strengthen certain emotions.

We can even use the same bright music but slow it down.

to achieve a sense of nostalgia with a tint of sadness.

Often called Leitmotif

characters own their sounds.

Heavy and upbeat rhythm suggest armies and authority.

Whereas light and slower or less regular rhythm

suggest spirituality, liberty or warmth.

Joyful melody with terrifying actions on screen serves a disturbing contradiction

but it can work.

Take away sound and you take away part of the film experience.

Always?

Well, maybe not.

Often, filmmakers underestimate the use of silence

and it can be a very effective tool to emphasise the feelings of

peace

emptiness

and even death.

Feels like ABS, but is PLA - Polymaker's Polymax review! #Filaween - Duration: 1:30.

For a PLA, this stuff feels remarkably like ABS - but there are a few giveaways.

Polymaker's Polymax is an impact-modified PLA that sells at around 70€ per kilogram.

This is the True Orange color, which matches up quite well with the printed parts on the

Original Prusa i3 MK2 i use for all Filaween tests.

I printed Polymax PLA at 205°C onto a heated bed at 55°C and got good prints on the first

try.

The parts looks great, and if i didn't know better, i'd be convinced they were ABS.

The filament itself doesn't snap like PLA and printed parts can be carved and cut, one

of the things I love about real ABS.

Polymax shows barely any stringing and solid performance on overhangs and bridges, so it

earns a combined quality score of 18 out of 20, which is top of the class for PLAs.

In the strength tests, it again shows a more gradual deformation before failing, while

still providing very good rigidity.

It nets itself a combined rating of 60.5kg, which again is in the very top group of PLAs.

But one thing where all PLA are the same is the low temperature resistance, which does

limit where you can effectively use them.

But if that's not an issue for you, and if you can swallow the steep price, then the

Polymax PLA is the closes thing you can get to ABS without actually buying ABS.

EVIDENCE OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATION MYSTERIOUS OVAL STRUCTURE FOUND - Duration: 2:20.

EVIDENCE OF ANCIENT CIVILIZATION?

MYSTERIOUS OVAL STRUCTURE FOUND IN ANTARCTICA!

Varbage Antarctica is considered one of the most mysterious

places on Earth and many experts and researchers claim that the cold continent was home to

an unknown ancient civilization.

There are some curious ancient maps that depict Antarctica as an ice free land.

One of these maps is the 16th century composed map called "Piri reis", which was created

by a Turkish admiral.

Strangely, the continent of Antarctica was supposely discovered in the 19th century,

so the 500 year old Piri Reis map is mind-boggling.

There are many satellite images featuring regions of the continent that show suspicious

structures, which could hint that an ancient civilization could have actually existed in

the distant past.

There's one particular image that has baffled experts.

It shows a wall surrounded oval structure that couldn't possibly be made naturaly.

It has been thought that the formation was a result of Sastrugi, which is created by

wind erosion.

But the structure isn't so random to be considered a natural formation.

What do you think?

RECENT READS 2017 (BOOKS 1-4) [CC] - Duration: 4:20.

Hey, everyone! This is Symone from Symone Books

and today I'm coming to you guys with

a "Recent Reads" video. I think this is

going to be better for me than having to

scramble and put together a wrap-up at

the end of the month, but I am still in

the experimentation phase so I'll let

you guys know later how I feel about it

and if I plan to continue doing it this

way. The first book that I'm going to

talk about today is THE BELL JAR by

Sylvia Plath. when I bought this book I

told myself that I really wanted to read

it in 2017 so I'm glad that I did what I

said I wanted to do, but I'm disappointed

because this book did not live up to

expectations for me. I don't know if I

just read this at the wrong time or if

it just completely flew over my head but

I kept reading and thinking, "Okay, so

everyone really loves this book. It's going to

definitely get better soon so I'm just

going to keep reading," but it never did

get better. I would love to detail

everything about this book I didn't like

for you guys but I honestly can't

remember anything about it which should say

something because I only read this a

couple of weeks ago. This book just

didn't engage me in the way that I

wanted it to and I think this book

relies really heavily on Esther and when

a book relies heavily on a character I

feel like how much you like the book

depends on how well you connect to the

character and I just couldn't connect to

Esther at all. Next up is THE SUN IS

ALSO A STAR by Nicola Yoon. This is a YA

contemporary novel that takes place over

the course of one day and it's about a

Jamaican girl named Natasha whose family is

about to be deported and a Korean-

American boy named Daniel whose parents

want him to be a doctor but his dream is

actually to be a poet. They meet by

chance and Daniel pretty much falls in

love with Natasha at first sight but Natasha

doesn't believe in love at first sight

so Daniel decides that he's going to

make her fall in love with him using

science.

This book is definitely for all the

hopeless romantics out there. If you're

more of a cynical type you'll probably

find yourself rolling your eyes a bit at what

was definitely a case

of insta-love. I'm more of a cynical type

myself but I was still able to

appreciate this book. The story is told

in many perspectives with Natasha and

Daniel's being the main ones. Every so

often a random character that they meet

throughout the day will get a

perspective and it will be a page or two that

sort of gives their backstory and it just

goes to show that you never

know what someone's going through. The

main thing I liked about this book and

what initially drew me in about it is that

both main characters are people of color.

It was really cool to see a different

kind of interracial relationship being

represented in books and I believe that

this story is somewhat based on

Nicola Yoon's relationship with her

husband because Nicola Yoon is Jamaican-

American and her husband is

Korean-American. Overall, I think this

book accomplished what it set out to

accomplish. It was a super cute romance

with some life lessons thrown in.

Personally, I don't see this story

sticking with me but I enjoyed the ride.

Nicola Yoon is definitely one of the

best YA contemporary writers out

there right now so if you're looking for

a cute contemporary to read, this is the one for

you. Next up is FOREVER, INTERRUPTED by

Taylor Jenkins Reid. This is an adult

contemporary romance novel about a

couple, Elsie and Ben who fall in love over

the course of six months and they end up

eloping and after nine days of being

married, Ben is tragically killed in an

accident. Of course this shatters Elsie's

world and on top of that, when she goes

to the hospital she meets his mother,

Susan, who has no idea she even exists.

This story is told in alternating

timeframes, one being in the past showing

how Ben and Elsie got together and one

being in the present showing how Elsie and

Susan are dealing with Ben being gone.

This is my second novel by Taylor Jenkins

Reid and I've found that her books tend

to have just the right amount cute

moments and just the right amount of

depth. From the synopsis it might seem

like this is going to be a very sad

book and of course there are some sad

moments but overall I feel like this

book is very hopeful and there are a lot

of moments that warm your heart, as well.

I enjoyed this book a lot and I think

that I can now safely call Taylor Jenkins

Reid one of my favorite contemporary

authors. Next up is CHRISTODORA by Tim

Murphy. This is a literary fiction novel

about a group of people who are living

in a building called the Christodora

and all the ways that their lives

intertwine. And this book takes place

over the course of 40 years against the

backdrop of the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

I thought this was a really good book

that more people should be reading so

definitely check out my full review for

it. I'll leave it in the eye and also in

the description. So those are all the

books that I've read recently. If you

have thoughts on any of these, leave a

comment below! Thank you so much for

watching, make sure you subscribe and

I'll see you in my next video. BYE~

Four Questions For Labor Secretary Thomas Perez | With Marilyn Geewax | NPR - Duration: 7:55.

It's that business journalist's favorite day of the month when the jobs report comes out

in the morning and we get to see what's happening in the labor market.

And I'll let you tell us a little bit about today's report.

What did we find out?

Well, again the economy continues to move in the right direction -- 156,000 jobs.

I think the best news in this report is the wage growth, Marilyn.

In 2016 we saw the best wage growth in this recovery.

And I tend to put reports like this, given it's my last month, in perspective.

You know, eight years ago this economy was hemorrhaging jobs.

800,000 jobs a month lost roughly eight years ago.

And now we've had 75 months in a row of job growth.

That's the longest streak on record.

The second longest streak was 48 months.

So we've passed that streak.

The unemployment rate when the president took office was heading towards 10 percent.

Now we're at 4.7 percent.

This has been a global recession, as you well know, and your listeners know.

And we've gained more jobs in the United States than all of the G-7 economies combined.

And so I hear these dooms-dayers talk about "that job-killing Affordable Care Act."

Well, the unemployment rate was 9.9 percent when the president signed the Affordable Care

Act and now it's 4.7 percent.

The Affordable Care Act has been anything but a job-killer -- it's been a lifesaver.

There are about five and a half million job openings right now but we have seven and a

half million people without work.

So, how do you describe that?

Why do we have so many job openings and yet still all these people who are not working,

and the labor force participation rate is pretty low.

So there is some kind of a giant mismtach where there's jobs, wages are rising, and

yet we don't have the seven and a half million people moving into those jobs.

What's the key problem?

I actually think it's important to put it in a broader perspective.

We have an economy -- we've got 140 million people or thereabouts who are in the workforce

in any given month.

So you're always going have that churn.

You have people coming in and out of the workforce.

And one sign of a vibrant workforce is the number of openings.

In the depths of the Great Recession we had 2 million openings a month.

Now over the last year or so the range has been 5.5 to 5.9 thereabouts.

That's a good sign.

In the depths of the recession the number of people who voluntarily quit their job slowed

to a trickle because they didn't have faith that they could get a better job.

Now you've seen that number go up precipitously because, as you correctly point out, Marilyn,

the labor market is indeed tightening and so people have confidence they can leave that

job for a better job.

And so, when you look at all of the various metrics -- the first-time claims for unemployment -- again

when this president took office we were talking about 600,000 roughly per week.

Now first-time claims for unemployment that we reported just over the course of the last

day or so, I think, was 235,000.

And we have the longest streak of first-time claims under 300,000 since 1970.

So when you look at the broad picture of the economy, we were in a deep ditch and we've

come a long way, and I absolutely agree with what you said. We still have work to do.

We gotta make sure that the wind at our back creates shared prosperity for everyone because

there's still too many people who aren't feeling it.

So I'm sure that each of us could go back to our hometowns and find a heck of a lot

of people who would feel pretty bad about the economy even though in the aggregate --

really, these are great numbers.

But there's still all these mismatches between job openings and the people getting into them.

What is it?

Is it mostly a skills gap?

Is it a relocation problem?

Is it a communication problem that people don't hear and know about what opportunities

are there?

What do you see is the single biggest impediment to getting those people that we know into

the jobs we know exist?

Well I think a number of things we need to do: I'm a big believer that when you upskill

someone you give them a better chance to succeed.

The education dividend is undeniable.

In Buffalo and Youngstown, when you were growing up and I was growing up, a 10th-grade education

could punch your ticket to the middle class at Bethlehem Steel or Republic Steel.

And those jobs -- many of them dried up, as you know.

And so that steel worker I met in Ohio, who was on the line for literally 28 years, what

we did with him -- and I remember vividly -- was we used our tools of training and we

helped that person upskill.

So now he's working in advanced manufacturing.

And that's what we do at scale at the Department of Labor, and that's been a main component

of the president's job-creation strategy -- is upskilling people because the more skills

you have, the better your chances are of punching your ticket to the middle class.

And that's why we invest in apprenticeship.

Apprenticeship is the other college -- except without the debt.

And there's so many people -- some of whom have more than a high school degree and some

of whom don't -- but the apprenticeship model can work for everybody.

And I meet so many people for whom life has already intervened.

You can't ask them to take two years off to upskill because they got kids.

They're taking care of mom or dad or grandma and that's why the apprenticeship model -- it's

not only a model we're using in the skilled trades.

It's a model were using in IT, in cybersecurity, in healthcare -- these are growth industries

-- in places like Youngstown and Buffalo and everywhere else.

We've seen the largest investment in renewing and restoring apprenticeship under this president

than we've seen in generations.

We were discussing how much things have changed.

I started out in newspapers and I think when I went into newspapers I just assumed they'd

been around for, you know, a hundred and fifty years or something, that they would be there throughout

my career.

And having to learn all the different skills, constantly changing, constantly updating -- it's

frustrating and annoying, but it does keep me employed.

So you know you've gotta continue educating yourself and I hope that that's something

you feel like you've accomplished.

Absolutely.

My father and mother always taught me that the one constant in life is change.

And the challenge and tragedy of my upbringing in Buffalo was that many folks in my parents'

generation, when manufacturing went south literally and figuratively, they didn't get

the opportunity to transition to the next phase of the economy and that's what this

president has focused on -- making sure that not only do workers have the skills to compete

in today's market, but they have the core competencies to thrive tomorrow.

And that's what it's all about -- that's what upskilling is about.

Innovation and change is always gonna be America and we've gotta equip workers with those tools

to ride that wave not get overtaken by that wave.

Alright well thank you so much -- really appreciate you joining us.

And thank you.

Ad he's basically been with President Obama for the entire second term as the labor secretary,

so really appreciate you coming to see us today.

Marilyn, it's been a pleasure to be with you.

TBR | Winter Biannual Bibliothon 2017. - Duration: 4:18.

Hey nerds, what's up?

The bibliothon starts on Sunday, so I'm posting my bibliothon TBR today.

I'm very excited, and let's just jump right on into it

[ MUSIC ]

First of all, I'm going to be reading the group book,

Stalking Jack the Ripper by Kerri Maniscalco.

And I got this from the library, and I'm really excited about it.

For those of you who are scared of spending money, or don't have the money

and all of those things, don't forget about the library.

The library is awesome. They have OverDrive now

where you can just get ebooks on your phone and stuff

for free. You get them from the library and then they disappear

after 21 days and that's amazing.

and then of course the physical copies too, which I know

some people are weirded out by because they're used

and stuff, and they don't like touching them.

My best friend is like that, but use the ebooks at least.

It's also going to be my 2016 new release because this

was released back in, I want to say September

but it might have been October.

I'm excited to read this.

The next book I'm going to be reading is Schizo by

Nic Sheff. This is my booktuber recommends

book because I actually got it from Sierra over at sierrareads.

She was my secret santa from our bibliothon gift exchange.

I'm so excited, I've been wanting to read this for so long.

It's about a schizophrenic boy. This is also going to be

my read a diverse book because its about mental illness

and our main character is schizophrenic, which you don't

see all that often especially when they're not the bad guy.

I'm excited to see him as the protagonist. I'm so excited for this.

My next challenge book that I'm going to be doing is

The Bane Chronicles by Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan,

and Maureen Johnson. Now this is a honker.

This is the biggest book I have here, and this is going to be for

my excited but never picked up challenge and

my throwback challenge, which I'm doing a novella, companion, or prequel

which it kind of matches all three of them.

So these are a series of short stories all about Magnus Bane.

Magnus Bane is one of my favorite characters in all of the books

that I've ever read. I just love him so much. You will see him

frequently this coming week on my channel.

I don't know if I'll be reading all of the prequel novellas

The next book I have here is Cinder by Marissa Meyer.

I'm actually already listening to Heartless by Marissa Meyer.

I'm forty percent done with it, which is why I'm going to

try to pick up Cinder since I'm halfway through with it

and the bibliothon hasn't started yet, for Heartless.

I will be listening to Heartless on audio throughout the week

so I'm definitely going to be counting those pages

as they happen. So this is going to be the last book

Itry to pick up since its possible I'll finish this challenge

without this one anyway and that's the goal for me.

But I haven't read Cinder yet, and I know that's crazy.

Everyone is obsessed with this series. I'm reading Heartless

by Marissa Meyer and it's the same author and I just haven't

picked it up yet I don't know. Those are the books I'm planning

on reading this week. If I get through all of these, which

is really unlikely, I'll probably go back - I'm currently reading

My Sister Rosa by Justine Larbalestier.

If I haven't finished that in two days, which is unlikely,

then I'll pick that up again and finish that off and we'll go from there.

But that's unlikely so I'll probably stick with these four books.

Ihope you guys are excited for the bibliothon. Let me know

what your readathon TBR's are down below. Also be sure to

follow us on our Instagram and of course on our Youtube.

Instagram is BiannualBibliothon and so is Youtube.

And then our Twitter is @BBibliothon and we'll be running sprints

on Twitter, we have Instagram challenges on Instagram

this week, which will be hosted by seven different

bookstagrammers that are not us. I'm really excited about that.

So make sure to follow us there, and of course our Youtube

is where you can get all of our giveaways, and have a chance

to win seven different books. I hope you guys are excited

and I'll see you guys very soon with Day one of the bibliothon. Bye!

Jægerkorpset/The Huntsman Corps - Danish special forces - Duration: 4:07.

We have in the past year witnessed terrorist attacks, which have created anxiety and dismay.

But we have learned that we should not become paralyzed by fear, life must go on. We must be steadfast and keep spirits up.

Here there is reason to say thank you to all those who make an effort for our safety.

They have taken on a responsibility which they may be required to, but they attend with dedication and care.

I believe it is much more actual to say that the huntsmen are people too,

because in reality it makes the incredible things that the huntsmen do, much more incredible.

But we may never give up on our everyday and our free life

Never be afraid to use the train or sit down at a café table,

because then the terrorists would have won.

And if the fear makes people look askance at others, with a different background than their own,

then the terrorists would also have won.

Former WWE Superstar Returns to NXT, Shelton Benjamin Denies Return Rumors | Wrestling Report - Duration: 1:41.

What's up everyone?

My name is John, and this is the Wrestling Report.

First up, we have some news about Shelton Benjamin returning to the WWE.

When being asked about his recovery, Benjamin stated that he still has many months till

he is fully recovered or do anything physical.

He even said that the predictions about him returning at the upcoming pay per view were

incorrect as well.

He said that it would take anywhere from 4 to 6 months back in late November, but one

also has to keep in mind that he wrestled with this injury for 2 and a half months.

So don't be surprised if you don't see Shelton at the Rumble.

Next up, we have news about a former superstar returning to NXT.

It can be seen through footage from last night's NXT tapings that Chris Hero, under the name

Kassius Ohno, made his return.

He came out to confront the NXT champion Shinsuke Nakamura after his match.

How do you feel about Chris Hero returning to WWE?

Let me know in the comments.

Finally, we have yet another leaked 2017 Hall of Fame inductee.

This time around rumor has it that Rick Rude is set to be in the Hall of Fame this year,

along with Diamond Dallas Page.

In other news, WWE gave an update on plans for Monday Night Raw, claiming that the main

event would feature Roman Reigns defending his United States championship in a handicap

match against Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens.

And this has been the Wrestling Report.

I hope you're all having an awesome day; thank you so much for watching Wrestling Hub,

and I'll see you tomorrow with more wrestling news.
