Chillin' like a villain | STREET MAGIC by Maxim Baz - Duration: 3:39.

Hello guys, so today we're at food fest in Kyiv 'Made in Ukraine'.

We're going to check out some toasty stuff they have in store for us and try to blow their mind with street magic.

So take your dog with you, if you have no dog, then take a cat and follow me.

Can I check your hands out?

Yes, but...

Watch this is a half-dollar coin in your hands over here.

Watch, so I have two bills of 1 and 5 UAH value.

Now hold both of them tight and turn your wrist over.

Now name any bill, 1 or 5?

5.

Fine, I take the 1 UAH bill, let it go, please.

Now hold the second one. Hold it tight.

What's cool, if you shake the 1 UAH bill, it actually turns into 5 UAH bill.

That means you have?..

1 UAH!

I waive the 1 UAH bill, and now I have 5 UAH and you..

Yeah, that's cool!

That is sick!

No way, how did you do that?

Can I check the 1 UAH bill?

But of course, feel free to unfold it yourself.

So many decks you have, huh?

It's fine.

And owing to whom do you have so many decks?

decemberboys.com.ua

Ok, now both of you think of any card.

A Jack.

Which Jack? Wait, now you name the suit.

Hearts.

A Clubs of Spades? Wait, this makes no sense.

3 of Clubs.

Watch, all cards in the deck face up, and only one is in the middle facing down.

Ok, screw this sh*t, we're out.

Watch, I have one card facing down.

All the rest of the cards face up.

One card facing up.

I don't know to be honest, have no idea how did that happen!

I'd like to show you a trick!

Ok, go for it.

Can you split 1 UAH for 5 UAH?

Hey, babe, can you split 1 UAH for 5 UAH?

I'm from Odessa, bro, what's your point?

Ok, so do you want me to treat you with barbecue now?

Ok, that's fair enough, well played.

You can try it, if you want.

That is so generous of you. Soooo generous.

There's even a walnut there.

Also I have a pinky, that bends.

Oh..

I can click like that too!

For real? Show us.

My boyfriend beats me when I do that.

Like that.

They say if he beats you, he loves you. But I don't believe in that.

Looks like you have to run away from him.

So you're going to show us on youtube, and everyone will poke jokes at us?

Cool, we'd like to send our regards to Vitaly!

We can show you a trick as well. What would you like to have?

Chocolate? Nothing?

You disappointed us.

Scared to imagine why are you let down.

Subscribe to the channel, it has to be said in the end, *******.

4-Part Writing: The Minor Mode, Part 4 - Harmony II, 08 - Duration: 7:16.

The Minor Mode –

Part 4: Wait, A Second!

(A2) There is something seriously wrong with the

writing in each of these Minor Mode chord progressions.

Can you find the voice leading errors?

Look closely.

Yes!

Each of these bad examples contains a Melodic Augmented Second interval, which we know is

against the Rules.

In a, b, c, and d, the Alto Voice is the Rule-Breaker, in e, and f, it is the Tenor.

Why this is wrong was discussed in a previous video; see link in the Description.

How do we get rid of the Melodic A2?

Easy!

The previous video discussed how, in a Dominant to Submediant or V-VI progression (or the

reverse: VI-V), we simply double the Third of the VI chord instead of its Root.

Listen!

We can often avoid the Melodic Augmented Second when connecting other pairs of triads, by

applying the technique of Contrary Motion.

For example, listen to these Minor Mode connections between a pair of dissonant triads: the iio

and III+ triads.

Incidentally, don't worry about the "dissonant triad followed by another dissonant triad"

yet, as we haven't discussed preparation of dissonances!

As for that circle-of-fifths connection between iio and V, Contrary Motion saves the day again.

We allocate the Sixth and Seventh degrees of the harmonic minor scale to separate voices,

and Voila!

No Melodic Augmented 2nds.

What happened here?

We tried to retain the common tone in the same voice, moving the other voices to the

nearest chord tones – according to the Rules – and made a big mess: One voice, either

Alto or Tenor, is forced to break the new Rule re: "No Melodic Augmented Intervals'.

"I just did what I was told to do!"

Yes, you did, but that is what happens when we obey Rules without thinking.

Here, it is a question of priorities: The 'No Melodic Augmented Intervals Rule' is practically

an absolute in four-part vocal writing.

Notice that we don't retain the common tone, the note B, in the same voice; we move the

B to a different voice.

So, to connect iio and V in minor, USE CONTRARY MOTION!

An Alternative?

Switching one chord to Open Position would technically allow us to retain the Common

Tone in the same voice.

Unfortunately, "confusing difficulties" can come up once open position

chords enter the mix, so we advise first-semester theory students to find close position solutions

to the exercises.

Figured Bass: We recall that figured bass follows the key signature.

So, a bass figure consisting of a only an accidental refers to the altered third, say,

the artificial LT found in the V, or Dominant Triad, in minor.

Figured Bass: So, what do you think these figures represent?

Yes, this is the augmented III+ triad of the minor mode, created by raising the seventh

scale degree to produce the artificial LT in minor.

Note that these are ROOT position triads, and that both figurings, the sharp following

the five, and the slash through the five, mean the same thing.

Each of these is an initial chord of an exercise, to which we have applied figures.

They're all root position triads.

The figures indicate the starting note of the soprano, and perhaps the position of the

upper voices as well.

What follows is a DEMO of how to realize the figured bass.

The starting line-up of voices, Bass Line, and Figuring, are given, as yet unrealized.

Think of this as the "point de départ" of lines of musical "code."

First and second chord realized (remainder figured and unrealized): Soprano starts on

C, Alto on A, and Tenor on E, working from the figures of the initial chord.

Voices progress to the 2nd chord according to the Rules.

Third Triad: The lone sharp with the bass note E designates the raised third of the

Dominant or V chord, which is G#, the artificial LT of a minor, our key signature.

Fourth Triad: The figure "5" with a slash through it designates the raised Fifth of

the Mediant or Augmented III+ chord, again a result of our chromatically-raising the

seventh scale degree from G to G#.

We finish working out the rest of this DEMO according to the voice-leading Rules we know.

Now, Listen to the complete realization!

It takes time and repetition to learn and automatize all these Rules, so don't feel

bad if you have to go over earlier videos again, and again.

By all means, post a comment if you have a question.

Share with someone, and Subscribe for updates.

Next, Food for Thought ... STUDENT ASSIGNMENT: To get used to handling

triads in minor keys, TRANSPOSE the DEMO to these keys: c, b, and b-flat minor.

The transposed bass lines are given, as well as the Thorough-Bass Notation, adjusted for

each key.

You only have to add the upper voices!

STUDENT ASSIGNMENT, CONTINUATION: TRANSPOSE the DEMO to these minor keys: g#, g, and f#

minor.

Here are the transposed bass lines.

By the way, these are all ROOT POSITION TRIADS; no Inversions.

You just have to add the upper voices!

Thank you for your attention!

(Airsoft game) HK417 DMR - 01/04/17 - IPS AIRSOFT - Duration: 6:37.

Welcome to this new video showing the "VIP" game we played (04/01/17) on the field used by IPS Airsoft

"It's no use he's too far away... Unless you have a super awesome range"

"No I don't have a super awesome range !"

"I have... A a very decent range, that's all"

The opposing team has to escort a VIP to the other end of the field

My team basically has to protect all the paths so they can't advance

I'm playing here with my HK417 Tokyo Marui, which has been heavily upgraded (details in the video description)

"Look out, there is someone in the middle !"

With 380 FPS, I have a "reasonnable" power, so I allow myself to shoot fast

"On the pathway in front of us... Did you see ? - Huh... Where ?"

However I use here 0.36 gr bbs, which is probably a bit heavy for the power of my gun, my bbs are sloooow

It makes it really hard to hit targets which are moving perpendicularly to my position

Shots through trees, it never really work...

But at least it puts pressure on them

I'm getting a bit closer so I can block the left pathway as best as I can

"Watch out Séb, some are coming your direction - All right"

"A lot of them are going on our right"

"Well done Séb ! - Thanks !"

My gun stops shooting : the joy of Marui EBBR, I have no bbs left so the gun stops shooting

This and the recoil shock, it really improves your experience on the field... I really like it

Hit ! I move back and respawn

"They're too far away ! - I'll try this direction"

I think about trying to get a good angle so I can completely block the path on the right, but I'll have no cover on my back

Here, it's good enough

The bipod has been quite useful this day, with all the stuff on it my HK417 weighs about 6 kg

Here are some adversaries on the hill... They saw me, but we won't manage to hit each other

I guess my bbs went really close to him... At this moment I'm not sure if I have hit him or not...

"Are you hit ?"

I don't think he saw me at all... Let's try to not hit his mouth

I think it moves behind me... I'll change position now

I hear some sound in my back

"I'm not sure you did hit me but well... You did hit me ? All right !"

After the respawn, I'm going on the hill, it appeared that a lot of adversaries were going that way

I draw my HK45 since I might need to shoot people close to me

Well, no one in sight... I re holster the HK45 and take back the HK417

Not long after I can see 3 players advancing on the path next to where I am ; they didn't see me

In the same time 2 other players appeared on the other side of the hill ; my HK417 is empty !

The first magazine I pull out is empty... I pull a second one

They had enough time to advance

Adversary is too close to me now, I draw the HK45

Right in the forehead... Sorry !

There is at least one remaining player

This one hadn't saw me, I should have not shot so fast

One left... I can use my HK417 again

Here it is, this was my coolest action of the day, now I clean up my mess :-D

I don't really have anything else to show you, the game finished a few minutes after that... Thanks for watching !

Doug McKinlay & Mark Wallace Discuss Travel Experiences Part 2: Adorama Special - Duration: 8:23.

That one thing, though, that I do

hear is, it'd be great if I was on a

two-year vacation or three year. I've

been traveling now for three years and

I'm not on a three year vacation,

I'm working all the time.

The assumption is, because I have all this

freedom, there are no deadlines.

But there are. There are deadlines.

So, you know, I've

got AdoramaTV episodes that I need to

send regularly. Then I'm writing

articles for my blog and other blogs

and those have to be filed. Then I've

got some sponsors and some people

that I'm working with on the motorcycle side.

So there's always this pressure and

then, the other thing on top of that is,

on a motorcycle you just can't ride

after dark because of cows and

sheep and people and all kinds of things.

But it is really, really,

your chances of

having something really bad happen

after dark go up exponentially.

There are many times where I'll see

something that's really fantastic and I

have a little computer that says, "This is

how long you have until sunset and this is

how long it's going to take you to get

to where you're going," and I realize I

have about 10 minutes out of the whole

day that I can not be moving. I don't

have enough time to take this picture.

Then I have to weigh the price;

if I take this picture and get a

great image, the chance that I'm going to

have an accident later is pretty darn

high. Is it worth it?

Most times it's not.

I was told, by, quite

a funny anecdote by another fellow

long-distance motorcycle driver, his name

is Boorman,

Charley Boorman, that's it.

I did a piece on him a few weeks,

few months ago

for one of newspapers and he

and Ewan McGregor do these trips, great trips

through Africa and South America etc.

He was recently in South

Africa and he was in Kruger National

Park on his bike but he was told by the

rangers he wasn't allowed to ride the

bike in Kruger because the lions look at

his bike and think it's pray and will

attack him for it. Have you ever had that

problem?

Yes, actually. So I didn't go to

Kruger because they don't

allow motorcycles. But I was in Tanzania,

riding, I rode across, I can't remember

the park, and I didn't see anything.

I saw some hippo and so I

went to this park and it was great. Then

I went up the western side of Tanzania,

had to turn around and come back because

the roads were rained out.

So I was coming

back to the same park I'd been through

and the ranger stopped me and he said

"What are you going to do if

a lion comes out?"

I'm like, "I don't know, I'll outrun the lion".

I thought he was giving me a hard

time, because I haven't seen anything.

I didn't think there were lions and he said,

"Don't stop. Don't stop for anything."

So I get into the park and this

pack of eland, which are like deer

with long horns. They're crossing

in front of me, so I have to stop.

They're going, it's about, I don't

know, 15 or 20 of them they zip across

the road and as soon as they're done

I see up the road a lion cross the road.

We're talking 50 yards in front of me.

Lions, they don't go by

themselves, they move in prides.

I have to go that way and I hear the guy

saying, "Don't stop, don't stop."

So now, I'm riding toward where I just saw a

lion and thinking he doesn't want to

eat me, he's after those guys that I just saw, but

maybe he will eat me I don't know.

It was rainy and muddy and really bad so

I couldn't even go fast. It was

terrifying. I never saw the lion again, by

the way. I did have elephant that

would stop in the middle of the road in

Botswana.

I hope you got good pictures.

Well I was using a GoPro

and so unless they're right there.

So you see these elephant and they look tiny but

to me they're huge.

I had something sort of similar, I suppose,

in British Columbia, in Canada a couple of

years ago. I was doing a story about the

coastal grizzly bears and we approach

them with kayaks, single person kayaks,

and I had a monopod mounted in the

middle so I could use a longer lens,

300mm lens. But we were told by the

park rangers that we couldn't get

within 50 meters of the bear.

Well as a

photographer you're taught, when you're

first starting out, that you've got to get

close. Close, close, close, close. That is

the mantra that goes through your head.

So as I'm in this canoe, this little one

person canoe, and I'm slowly paddling,

picking up the swells a little bit,

pushing me a little closer into the

shore. All I in hear in the background

is from the ranger saying, "Doug, get

back! Doug, get back!" and I'm like,

"He doesn't know anything."

That somehow bears can swim?

There's this big female grizzly bear on the edge,

eating some sedge grass with her two

cubs and I'm looking through my 300mm

trying to get a nice, tight headshot. I'm

getting just to that spot where

I'm close enough to get the image.

And what does the bear do?

The bear comes

out into the water after me and I

realize I'm about 15 metres away from

her and I can hear the guy behind me

screaming at me. So I'm trying to put the

camera down, and back paddle as fast as I can

so this bear doesn't catch me.

But I think

it's a problem a lot with

photographers. You get lost

in what you're doing and you don't

listen to anything around you.

Not usually for the better

of yourself.

You can die that way.

So then the gear that you take,

here's mine and here's yours.

There's quite a difference as far as size, weight.

All of my stuff that's

right here, this is everything. That's my

entire camera bag, which is about the

same size as your camera.

Well the Leica stuff is bar none.

The lenses are fantastic. The Leica

stuff, I think, is the best for up

close photojournalism or reportage.

It's just so unobscure

and you can hide behind it. You can

hide it really easily.

So much easier to

approach somebody with this.

Yeah, definitely.

Now, the reason why I've still

got, I do have a couple of Leicas, by the

way, but I still prefer the DSLRs.

The main reason for me is the autofocus.

I'm getting older and my eyes aren't so

great anymore so I tend to rely a little

more on the autofocus, unless I'm

shooting landscapes and through live-view.

I like the versatility, the longer lenses

because I do often switch to the

70-200mm and 300mm lenses.

I do like that about the DSLRs

and I still will use two

cameras at once often times. So I'll

usually mount a 50mm and maybe a 24mm on

here if I'm in markets and such.

I think it's just a

matter of what you get used to.

The cost, of course, are definitely something

you have to think about. I personally

still like DSLRs. I know it's a lot of

weight to carry and I do have a bad

shoulder because of it but I think I'm

going to stick with the DSLRs for a

while yet.

I mean, this has its advantages.

Really it's the size of the

camera that did it for me. It's

not that much lighter when you pick up a

Leica, they're not so light.

But the size,

the unobtrusiveness and the

sharpness, the clarity, the contrast of

the lens is unmatched by any

manufacturer. Which you can't see in

videos, can't see it online. You can't see

that until you have a print then you can

see it. So a lot of comparisons that I've

seen on YouTube, everything has

been basically downgraded. So you

can't really see it until you see it and

it's like, "Oh my gosh."

Yeah there's just a clarity about Leica

that you don't really get unless you

go up to a medium format or bigger.

So when people found

out about how much this was, I got tons

of emails about the cost. But I've had

Lumias, Hasselblads, a Nikon D4, 1DX,

never have I heard any comment

about the price and those are as much as

this. But this red dot, for some

reason, to some people just says it's too

much money to be worth it. But for me it

is worth it because of the lenses and the

system and all of that kind of stuff.

Wow, it's a lot to think about.

I think we're going to sign off here,

I'm Doug McKinlay with Mark Wallace

for AdoramaTV.

All you travellers out there,

I hope you got some

good food for thought and

keep traveling.

Why Trains are so Expensive - Duration: 12:39.

This is a Wendover Productions video made possible by Videoblocks.

Get an exclusive 7 day free trial of Videoblocks with up to 140 free stock footage clips for

your videos by using the link videoblocks.com/future.

Before I start, I want to quickly mention that I started a podcast with Brian from Real

Engineering called "Showmakers."

In the very first episode which is out now we chat with none other than Hank Green.

I'd really appreciate if you give it a try and the link is down in the description.

Trains are expensive.

So expensive, in fact, that on three of the most travelled routes in three countries—New

York to Washington in the US, Edinburgh to London in the UK, and Paris to Lyon in France—they're

pretty much the same price as the plane.

These routes start at $49, £30, and €30 respectively on the train and $52, £13, and

€53 on the plane.

On a longer route like New York to Chicago, the difference is even more pronounced: $59

for the plane, $108 for the train.

And that's keeping in mind that trains are subsidized or government run in almost every

country while airlines are highly profitable commercial enterprises.

The planes flying between DC and New York are $49 million dollar machines, while the

trains traveling the route cost no more than $10 million total.

The plane has to burn 1.7 gallons of fuel per mile flown (3.9 liters per km) while the

train relies on cheap, clean electric power.

All this therefore begs the question, why are trains so expensive?

Now, I mentioned that fares between DC and New York start at $49, but that's far from

the average price—$73.

Let's look at the expenses that go into that fare.

The single largest expense for Amtrak is staffing.

Trains require a lot of people to operate.

85,000 passengers journey on Amtrak daily, but for that Amtrak employs 20,000 people

meaning that, daily, Amtrak requires one employee for every four passengers.

On top of that, the majority of those working for Amtrak are highly specialized, unionized

workers who demand high salaries.

Amtrak's financial reports tell us that they spend $105,000 per employee, but that's

not to say that everyone at Amtrak is making six figures.

Taxes and benefits typically cost an employer 30-40% of a salary so the actual average salary

for an Amtrak employee is around $75,000.

These salary costs are so high that they account for over a third of the ticket price between

DC and New York—$25.82 total.

The cost of employees is so high for train operators largely because trains are so slow.

For a flight from DC to New York, an airline would only have to pay employees for an hour

of work while Amtrak has to pay their employees for three and a half hours of work.

The difference is even more striking on long-haul routes—Chicago to Los Angeles for example.

An airline would have to pay for four hours of work, while Amtrak pays for 44 hours of

work.

In addition, trains have physical infrastructure to maintain along the journey—the rails.

Airlines also have infrastructure to pay for on each end—the airports—but between those

they just use the sky, which is free.

Amtrak only owns 730 miles of the 21,000 miles of track they use, but they still indirectly

pay for the employees who maintain those 20,000 miles of rented track through the fees charged

by the track owners for their use.

The next largest cost for train operators is that of the trains themselves.

Trains aren't that expensive compared to airplanes, but they still cost millions of

dollars.

The locomotive pulling the train from DC to New York costs $6.5 million dollars and then

each one of the passenger cars costs an additional $400,000.

With a seven car train, that works out to $9.4 million dollars which accounts for $9.67

on this particular ticket.

The other part of infrastructure—rails—costs Amtrak an additional $3.66 on this ticket.

Railroad tracks are extraordinarily expensive to build—typically more than $1 million

per mile—but on routes like DC to New York, they're just used so much that the per train

or per ticket cost is negligible.

Amtrak is a business, so it also needs to pay to run the business.

$2.15 of this ticket goes to administrative costs, and then another $1.31 to advertising.

Moving on, trains are extremely safe compared to cars, but you're still more than 3 times

as likely to be killed on or by a train than a plane.

Trains do occasionally crash, and they also crash into people.

When this happens, Amtrak often has to pay a settlement to the victims, and the fees

associated with that account for $0.79 of the DC to New York ticket.

That does mean that when traveling between DC and New York, in essence, you're paying

$0.79 in order for Amtrak to kill or injure people.

Those were all the major costs to run a train, but there's still another $5.91 on that

ticket that just represents other minor costs.

So the total expense for Amtrak to run that train is $50.14.

The remaining $22.86 is pure profit.

You see, the train from DC to New York, the Northeast Regional, is one of the few Amtrak

routes to make a profit.

The demand, speed, and frequency of the train helps it succeed financially where other routes

failed.

Per passenger per mile, Amtrak makes eight cents of profit on the northeast regional,

the low speed train, and 29 cents per passenger mile on the Acela Express, the high-speed

train.

These profitable routes help pay for Amtrak's unprofitable routes… and there are a lot

of them.

Some routes like the Sunset Limited between New Orleans and Los Angeles lose as many as

21.7 cents per passenger per mile, and when passengers can travel 2,000 miles on that

route, that's a lot of loss.

As I mentioned, that $49 fare is not the average ticket price to travel between DC and New

York.

The $49 fare is the price at which Amtrak starts selling tickets, but as the date of

travel nears, the price can increase to hundreds of dollars.

That might seem like price gouging, but its actually a way to make sure everyone can afford

a ticket.

That's not to say Amtrak and other train companies are these altruistic organizations

trying to bring travel to the masses—it just makes more money.

Especially with trains where it costs the operator roughly the same to transport 5 passengers

as it does to transport 500, the operator always wants to have as many seats as possible

filled, even if that means selling cheap tickets.

In a perfect world for the operator, they could ask every potential passenger what the

maximum amount they'd be willing to pay for a journey is.

If they adapt the ticket price to every passengers maximum price then they can fill each seat

with passengers paying the highest possible amount.

However, in practice, nobody would ever answer the question truthfully so it would never

work.

Ticketing systems, however, try to ask this question subliminally.

Going back to that route from Edinburgh to London, the operator, Virgin Trains East Coast,

sells three types of tickets—advance, off-peak, and anytime.

The advance tickets range anywhere from 30 pounds to 140 pounds, the off-peak fares cost

137 pounds, and the anytime fares cost 148.50 pounds.

For the advance fares, there are a certain unknown number of tickets at different price

levels on sale and once they're gone, they're gone.

For example, there might be 15 tickets at 30 pounds and once they're sold, the price

would increase to 35 pounds, then 40, 45, and so on a so forth.

That encourages those who can buy early to buy early.

Normally that means tourists.

Tourists tend to plan far in advance and are more budget conscious since they're paying

their own costs.

They're also more likely to travel down to London on the often cheaper plane since

they're less attracted by the convenience of the train.

These advance fares are only valid for the exact route, day, and time bought which is

fine for leisure travelers, but business travelers typically want more flexibility.

Buying advance fares often doesn't work for business travelers since their plans are

only made a few weeks or days in advance and, since they don't personally pay for their

tickets, its no problem for them to pay for the convenience of taking the train on a flexible

ticket.

That's why they often pay £148.50 for an anytime ticket.

With these, you can just hop on a train whenever—it doesn't matter if its in 10 minute or 10

days.

You just step on the train and take a seat.

The middle ground between those two is the off-peak single which lets you take any train

that arrives in London after 11:17 am or is on the weekend.

These fares are still geared towards business travelers, but by restricting against the

early morning trains they give a discount to those who can avoid the busiest morning

trains..

For each of these fares there are equivalents in first class—the advance first fares range

between 40 and 200 pounds, the off-peak fares are 185.50 pounds, and the anytime fares are

236.50 pounds.

On top of that, young, disabled, and elderly people get up to 1/3 off their fares with

a rail-card.

This all means that there are essentially 12 different types of tickets for sale and

that one person heading to London might be paying 20 pounds while the person sitting

right next to them is paying 200 but what they're really paying for is convenience.

Now, back in the US, if Amtrak only operated profitable lines, their route map would look

like this, but the routes that don't make money are the ones that really matter.

Amtrak serves over 500 destinations in 46 states—many of which are small towns with

no other means of public transportation.

While trains are normally the more expensive means of transport, they are less expensive

than planes to service small communities.

The small airports in the rural parts of America are extraordinarily expensive to operate.

Even if there are just two or three flights a day, they still need a runway, terminal,

security, and air traffic control while a rural train station needs barely any infrastructure

or maintenance.

In fact, it's cheaper to fly from Chicago to London ($741) than it is to fly from Havre,

Montana to Chicago ($811 May 17-22) whereas Amtrak brings passengers from Havre to Chicago

for only a few hundred dollars—much more in budget for the average resident of Havre

who makes only $22,000 per year.

Of course this is a political issue, but a part of why trains are so expensive is to

allow train operators to fulfill obligations to serve small communities who need solid

transport links.

Research has shown that ease of access to transport has a stronger influence on whether

someone will earn more than their parents did than the level of crime in their area

or whether they grew up in a two-parent household and so keeping trains running through rural

America is incredibly important.

Next time you take the train from DC to New York, just keep in mind that that $22.86 of

profit goes to making sure that someone from Havre can get to Chicago for less than you

can fly to Europe.

So you see this number?

That's how much these last few seconds would cost if I were buying footage from a traditional

stock footage provider.

Luckily, I get my footage from Videoblocks where with their membership you can use as

many of the 115,000 clips in their unlimited library as you want.

Since I started Wendover Productions, I've used 686 clips from videoblocks—almost every

piece of footage you see in my videos is from them—and that means that I've saved $54,194

with my Videoblocks subscription.

Without Videoblocks, there's no way that my videos would look as professional—I simply

would not be able to afford it—and whether you already have a youtube channel or plan

to start one, Videoblocks will do amazing things for your production value.

I can honestly say that it's one of the best purchases I've ever made and I've

used Videoblocks since day one.

You can try out Videoblocks exclusively for seven days with the link videoblocks.com/future—that

is not a publicly available trial—so please go try them out.

Not only is that a great way to help Wendover Productions make more videos, you'll also

get a chance to use what is truly an amazing service.
