Power Supplies 3: UpTone Audio UltraCaps LPS-1 and sBooster BOTW P&P ECO 5-6V - Duration: 7:17.
In Power Supplies 2: 3 PSU's for Raspberry Pi and HiFiBerry DAC+, I compared three power
supplies in a relatively low quality setting.
Now it's time to go upmarket and listen what they do on the Sonore microRendu networked audio adaptor.
The Raspberry Pi offers a very dirty USB signal that - in my honest opinion - is not suited
for music reproduction.
But combined with a HAT board that provides a proper SPDIF signal and a good power supply,
it offers a quality that can be better than the SPDIF signal from a Squeezebox Touch and
thus isn't bad at all.
But the Sonore microRendu is of a different class.
It only offers USB output but - again when used with a very good power supply - that
signal is extremely clean, making it easy for the DAC to perform optimally.
One power supply often named in combination with the microRendu is the UpTone Audio UltraCaps LPS-1.
During the review time there even was a delivery delay. Luckily I got a sample.
The device got its name from a new kind of capacitor, effectively a cross between a storage
capacitor and a battery, called supercapacitor.
It is not suited for high voltages but that's not needed here.
A major advantage is that they can deliver current very fast, a lot faster than normal batteries.
They also charge faster and are able to hold large loads in small packages.
The LPS1 on review here holds 60 Farads of supercaps.
The acronym LPS stands for linear power supply, but it's not like the other linear power
supply in this review in that it needs a DC input voltage rather than a cord to the grid.
You can use a switching power supply rated at 7.5 volts 2.5 amps, 9 volts, 2 amps or
12 volts 1.5 amps.
The LPS-1 converts that to a clean 3.3, 5 or 7 volts DC.
Switching is done with a switch on the back of the unit.
A three color LED on the rear indicates the state of the unit.
What exactly happens in the LPS-1 is not fully clear to me.
The board holds an FPGA and a lot of other chips that normally can't be found in in
a linear power supply.
The sBooster is more like a normal linear power supply, although it contains a lot more
than an average linear power supply.
To begin with it has an internal voltage selector ranging from 100 VAC to 240 VAC, a mains filter,
a large toroidal transformer, a discrete rectifier circuit, a voltage regulator on a cooling
profile, a switch for the output voltage, six 4700 µF capacitors and a power led.
A 'Split current unit' is found at the end of the output cable.
This not only is an additional filter, it also buffers the power to provide the electronics with current instantly.
Of course I used Setup 1, using the recent addition of the MQA able Mytek Brooklyn d/a-converter,
fed from another sBooster power supply and the Chord Hugo running on its internal batteries alternatively.
The DAC's were connected to the Audio Note Soro SE, modified by AudioMagic, driving the
AudioPhysic Scorpio speakers over AudioQuest Castle Rock cable.
The interlinks were a prototype of the Crystal Cable Ultra Diamond and Grimm Audio TPM cable.
As said there were some strong opinions on the web and I was not sure about my observations.
Thus was this review postponed for a week, just to be sure.
This might already give some indication about the outcome of this review:
there are differencesbut they are small, very small. In my setup anyway.
The differences?
I would prefer the dynamic behaviour of the sBooster but the sibilance control of the UltraCaps.
As said, the differences were very small and only when forced I might choose the UltraCaps
over the sBooster since I value sibilance control over dynamic behaviour.
But again, the differences are minute.
They both are very good and clean power supplies that I can wholeheartedly recommend.
Still there are some differences of a practical nature.
The UltraCaps uses a switching mode power supply to get the low DC voltage that feeds the UltraCaps.
This poses the risk that the switching circuit pollutes the power lines and /or radiate into
your audio cables so you better keep it away from audio cables and equipment.
On the other hand, the UltraCaps has three practical voltages to choose from: 3.5, 5
and 7 volts as where the sBooster offers voltages very close together.
To feed the microRendu the 5-6 volts version is used.
Another factor is of physical nature: the UltraCaps comes in the shape of two small
boxes with cables in between as where the sBooster is only one box, but it is very large.
There also is a small price difference in favour of sBooster, although that might differ per country.
But which way you choose, you're fine - at least when using a stereo like my set-up 1,
which costed around 20k in Euros.
Whether there still is a better power supply out there I don't know, but I'll keep looking.
And if I find one, I will try to review it.

How To Strengthen Your Aura And Protect Yourself From Being Emotionally Drained - Duration: 7:03.
How To Strengthen Your Aura And Protect Yourself From Being Emotionally Drained
BY GOSTICA
How To Strengthen Your Aura And Protect Yourself From Being Emotionally DrainedDo you end every
day feeling like you�ve run a marathon even if you�ve just spent it talking to people?
You�re not alone!
Your energy is a limited resource and will only get you so far as it depletes throughout
the day.
Use these techniques, and follow the advice about what might cause a drain on your energy,
to ensure that you optimize the energy you do have, and keep a happy, healthy aura.
What Causes Aura Drain?
There are plenty of common mistakes people in modern society make every day, which weakens
their aura.
Here is a list of all the things that might be weakening your aura.
It may also give you an idea of some the things you should be avoiding!
Lack of exercise Poor diet
Use of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco Lack of fresh air
Stress Not getting enough rest
To know more about the condition of your Aura you should take this AURA TEST!
As a start, you should try and get into better habits surrounding all of the above.
If you struggle to find the motivation to follow these healthy habits, think about their
impact not just on your physical body, but on your body�s energies too.
That should help kick-start that motivation!
What Can You Do To Maintain a Healthy Aura?
Technique #1: Prevent Yourself From Being Drained
If you find that talking to certain people leaves you feeling utterly drained and lacking
in energy, it might be that these people are, often unintentionally, stealing your aura�s
energy!
In many cases, these people are using others� energy to supplement their own, rather than
creating it for themselves.
If people ever tell you they feel better after having spoken with you, it is often because
they are using your energy in this way.
You can be, and should be, in complete control where your energy is concerned.
To stop other people from latching onto your auric energy and sapping it away, you need
to close your energy circuit.
Currents of energy flow within and around you in your auric field.
If you leave your circuit open, other people can all too easily feed off of it.
How to do it
When you are talking with someone who often drains your energy, cross your ankles, and
bring your hands together touching the thumbs and fingers to one another.
This will create a closed circuit.
The energy flows within and around you but won�t leech into others.
After practicing this for a while, you may find that some people tell you something about
you has changed, or that they don�t feel you refresh them in the way you used to.
This is simply because they are no longer feeding off your aura�s energy.
You will certainly feel a lot more energized at the end of each day if you practice this
technique!1
Technique #2: Energy Breathing Technique
Your breath is essential for revitalizing your energy stores and topping up your auric
energy.
One of the leading causes of weakness in auric energy that we mentioned earlier is a lack
of fresh air.
However, the way in which you breathe is just as important.
Breathing through the nose not only warms the air before it enters the lungs, reducing
the risk of inflammation of the respiratory organs, it also �filters� the air entering
the body.
Your nostrils capture and remove a lot of the dirt and pollution in the air that surrounds
us, promoting much cleaner breathing.
Your energy has polarity, positive and negative, male and female, sun and moon.
The balance of these is called Sushumna.
This breathing technique energizes the aura and balances the polarity of the body.
How to do it
Begin by placing your dominant hand on your nose with your thumb on one side and fingers
on the other.
Place your tongue against the roof of your mouth, but remain relaxed.
Using your thumb to close the nostril on that side of the face (right hand, right nostril)
inhale for a slow count of four.
Then, close the other nostril using your fingers (so both are now closed) and hold for a count
of 16.
If this is too long a time to start off, work towards increasing whatever you can manage
over time.
Once completed, release the thumb (but keep the fingers closing the other nostril) and
slowly exhale for a count of eight.
Now, you can breathe back in again through this open nostril, alternating as you go,
for around five or six breaths in total.
Technique #3: The Cleansing Vortex
This technique is a powerful visualization procedure and is fantastic for sweeping out
and cleansing any energy detritus that may have accumulated over the course of the day.
It is particularly useful if you spend your days interacting with a lot of people.
They might be filling you up with some negative energies!
How to do it
Find a comfortable, seated position, and if you want to, perform Technique #2 to relax
and ready you.
Next, visualize a small whirlwind of crystalline white fire around 20 feet above your head.
Then visualize the small end of the funnel entering through the crown of your head and
going down through your body.
It should be rotating clockwise, and as it touches your aura, you should see all the
detritus being sucked in and burned away.
As it moves through you, more and more of the negative energies will be swept away,
until it exits through your feet and into the ground.
Give Them a Try
The next time you feel like the day has taken its toll on you, try some of these techniques.
You may find that you were victim to an �aura vampire,� that you just needed a moment
to breathe, or that you have been filled with energy debris.
Simply by taking some time to correct and refill your aura�s energy, you may find
a second wind, a new lease of life, and go on
to have a happy, healthy aura.

but when we visit that time
the hot spring not working
can't working
and the winter weather + no function hot spring
... is damn cold ...
actually so cold
and their staff don't know who to fix it too
and finally the hot spring doesn't work
so we jump into the sing and dance section
Good Morning
today I'm at Atayal Resort
maybe still ok?
oh? that's a pond there
is that right?
is six something in the morning now, I wake up on six
because that's a lot to prepare
oh? that's some fish is the pond
I do go the hot spring yesterday night
but ..
doesn't working (the hot spring)
water are warm
so
I ask the staff there, they say don't know too
and I feel disappointed
have to prepare your own swim wear and cap
then only you can enjoy the hot spring
but if you don't have swim cap
you can use bath towel
opps, not bath towel! is shower cap
you can use shower cap
and can't wear normal shirt but swim wear
tonight we are going to Liuhe Night Market
so I will record some video if I find some delicious food or something special

Master Cylinder Spiegler Rebuild - Duration: 6:22.
We've got Spiegler master cylinder with unique design for rebuild
The main feature is the variable pivot
Pulling the lever, pivot becomes shorter
Variable pivot is realized due to inverted piston
On practice you get less effort, better sensitivity and more efficient braking
This master is automatically bleedered, because the brake box hole is located in the topmost point of the cylinder
Disassembling is started with lever removing
Unscrew the piston rod completely
Next unscrew the lever bracket
To remove the lever bracket unclench the clamp
Variable pivot is realized by brass slides in the bracket and rotary guides on the lever
Also, lever has two positions of pulling effort, which can be switched by bushing rotating
To remove the cap you need special wrench We made it from the nut head
There is a dirt inside
The dirt can accumulate, If you don't change the brake fluid for a long time
The spring remains, but the piston with seal are changed
The seal in the cap should be removed
I use aerosol cleaner Suprotec to clean all parts, it has nice smell and does not affect the rubber
O-ring on the cap should be change
I install new piston with seals Parts should be lubricated with brake fluid
First, I install piston seal
Next, I install o-ring on the cap and small seal in the cap
Small seal is hard to install, because it has bigger diameter than the hole in the cap
The seal is symmetric and no matter which side to install it
Now the cap is installed
To install the bracket, the clamp should be unclenched
Rotating bracket allows to use master cylinder both right and left side: for front brake and clutch or handbrake
All parts of the lever should be lubricated
The master cylinder should be attached to the brake system and left under pressure for a while to check it
Lever position can be adjusted rotating the piston rod

video will be like I'm and I pulled crap
I really shouldn't use my credit card to
buy that anyways who cares we done it
now we're going to open this up so as
you can see I did go to gamestop and by
this kingdra xbox I actually said I
wasn't going to buy this box because I
don't know I wasn't too huge on the fact
of kingdra IX having a box but I don't
know gamestop credit card and cards
there and new stuff so you know
sometimes you got to do it so anyways
we're opening this up and we're going to
see what we pull of course you're going
to get the kingdra DX promo which will
pull out right now i'll show you poor
shoot your code card as well boom code
card right there and there is your king
dru e ex promo I mean it's not really a
problem it is a reprint of the original
so obviously you can see it does not
have the promo stamp down the corner so
it is not considered a promo so they
basically just re-released is all they
did code card right there obviously can
see I have a little bit of I don't know
weird setup I wanted to include my face
in these opening so maybe you can see
reactions and things like that so that's
why I look sideways to get the camera
recording this way and then i'm
recording down this way a little bit of
a weird setup we got our booster packs
right here and then we got our jumbo
card that nobody likes I don't like
jumbo cards I don't know about you guys
about like them I love when the figures
are in the box so right there exact same
thing as the promo so we'll just set
that right back there and then we have
our booster packs right here we have a
sudden moon a fates collide a steam
siege and a break point and if you know
me I do not like to break sets i
absolutely hate them so let's start off
with let's go from oldest to newest so
break fate steam sun and moon all right
here we go break point let's do this
there is a code card if you want it
right there boom you can freeze the
frame and get that code before anybody
else does
so will do the trick since everybody
loves the trick I'm not a huge fan of it
but I know you guys like it so we'll do
anyway we got a duck 'let a fur furfrou
fur are a Psyduck yes bomb diggity right
they run put that side up over there
frogadier a Lapras I'm max pushing a
reverse holo garbodor which is a rare as
you can see right down there so I will
take that for sure and then our rare is
upside down a hollow slowking so two
rares one of them being a hollow so
that's actually not a bad pack at all
even though is a break set we'll set
those right up there because those are
all the cool cars been pulled from the
set or from that booster pack next up we
will go with fates collide not a bad set
at all not a bad set gots Alakazam xin
the set so not bad here we have the code
if you want the code go ahead and take
it feel free to take the code and let me
know what you get set that over there
three from the back and here we go a
wish mer I'm in Sana'a better car I saw
a lot off I'm on my mom don't fossil
Kabuto alternative spirit link Oh volo
ball reverse olive and then our rare is
a carving kit is not a hollow so that
was actually not a good pack at all at
least in my opinion that was not a good
pack so we're going to set that all over
there no cool cards from that one next
up we got steam siege right here not a
bad set at all this was actually one of
the better sets I thought I got the ball
cannon all that fun stuff the code card
is actually reversed around for some
reason but there you go i'm going to
give it to you right there steam siege
boom now someone on instagram I don't
remember who but someone on Instagram
actually told me that a lot of people
have actually been having some pretty
good poles from the set so hopefully
that will apply to my box a lot of our
style I prom a young ma I'm on time I'm
on time pokemon ranger I rock my gosh
I'm prime my pom a reverse holo this
sharp and that is a rare and then our
rare is going to be a hollow yveltal not
bad so two rares in that pack not i mean
the box is ok so far we got two packs
with two rare so i mean i guess you
can't really complain too much with that
getting a lot of rare overload and then
sun and moon right here the newest set
released so far if we're going to pull
an ultra rare a full art or see career
let's make it from the set oh okay there
is the code card for you guys right
there go ahead and take that code clerk

9 Signs You're Not Drinking Enough Water - Duration: 6:09.
We've heard it.
We get it.
We know!
Drink more water!
But it's not just overplayed advice from fitness magazines and your mother.
When we get dehydrated our bodies send out clear warning signs that we need to check
our fluid levels.
If that happens, it's important to do everything to get your hydration level back on track.
Here are some of the symptoms associated with not drinking enough water.
Lotion ain't cutting it
It's normal for our skin to change with the seasons.
While summer months bring normal to oily skin, by winter, our skin seems dull and lifeless.
According to the Dermalogica website, dry skin lacks sebum, commonly referred to as
simply oil.
It should respond to the application of oil-rich products.
In these situations, applying plenty of moisturizer is often enough to improve the situation.
But dehydrated skin is another story.
If, at any point in the year, your skin stays dry and chapped despite being slathered in
healing lotions, you may want to grab a drink of water — or several.
When skin loses its luster due to dehydration, all it desperately needs is to be watered!
Dry, sticky, and thirsty!
It seems so obvious.
Dry mouth and a sticky tongue equals dehydration.
But so many people reach for a pack of gum or a piece of candy before they reach for
a glass of water.
The Mayo Clinic tells us that being excessively thirsty is actually a symptom that you've
been dehydrated for a while.
When thirst or dry mouth hits, grab a glass and start replenishing any lost fluids.
And according to Colgate, desert-like conditions in your mouth can cause a serious case of
bad breath.
It's worth mentioning, however, that a dry mouth and increased thirst can be a sign of
something more serious.
The National Health Services website will tell you that if your symptoms haven't improved
after a few days of focused rehydration, it might be time to see your doc or your dentist.
Pounding head
We've all been there.
Your head is throbbing and, with each passing minute, you can feel it getting worse.
It makes it hard to concentrate on anything, and your patience begins to run thin.
Fortunately, drinking more water could be enough to not only prevent these painful episodes,
but also cure them.
According to the National Headache Foundation, headaches are actually a common sign that
someone is experiencing mild to moderate dehydration.
In fact, an inadequate intake of water can trigger a migraine!
The NHF suggests drinking only water when experiencing headaches and avoiding sugary
or overly salty sports beverages, which can worsen dehydration.
"Ahh!"
Weight without the water
Believe it or not, an expanding waistline can be a sign that you aren't drinking enough
water.
A study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism showed that drinking as little
as 500 milliliters, or about 17 ounces, of water can boost your metabolism by up to 30
percent.
No wonder all of our fitness and beauty magazines keep telling us to drink more water!
Along those same lines, dehydrating can be one big mixed signal for your body.
Alissa Rumsey, Registered Dietician and spokesperson for the American Academy of Nutrition and
Dietetics, told Health magazine,
"Mild dehydration is often masked as feelings of hunger, when really your body just needs
fluids."
A tip from Shape magazine says that drinking one to two glasses before mealtime can fill
you up and prevent you from eating when your body just needs more hydration.
Moving things along
Things moving slowly… down there?
You just might need to increase your water intake.
Just one look at WebMd will tell you that dehydration is a leading cause of chronic
constipation.
Biologically speaking, your body needs fluids in order to pass waste through your digestive
tract, so if you haven't had enough to drink, things are going to get a little backed up.
So start drinking throughout the day and you should begin to experience some relief.
If not, check with your medical professional just in case something else is going on.
You've had a UTI
Anyone who has ever had a urinary tract infection, or UTI, will probably say that it was one
of the most uncomfortable, unpleasant experiences of their life.
UTIs are caused by a variety factors but often arise after bacteria has entered our bodies
through sexual intercourse or failing to wipe from front to back after using the bathroom.
But there's one other possibility: dehydration.
A study in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that drinking water helps
to flush bacteria from our bladders, thus preventing infection from setting in.
Some warning signs that our water intake is too low include dark colored urine or a decreased
need to urinate at all.
Of course, if it feels like you've got an infection, drink your water, and please don't
wait to see a medical professional.
You feel irritable and moody
In a bad mood?
This may shock you, but a simple glass of water might be all you need to turn things
around.
A research study published by the Journal of Nutrition and cited by CNN found that just
mild dehydration can lead to neurological changes that affect our ability to focus and
can cause irritability.
Even more shocking is that you only need to be 1 percent below your optimal level of hydration
to feel these negative effects.
So, next time you're feeling cranky and can't understand why, pour yourself a nice tall
glass of water — or two! — and let the good feels wash over you.
You're having muscle cramps
Having muscle cramps can be annoying, frustrating, and painful.
Typically, people will try stretching or using massage techniques to relieve their symptoms,
but what you really need might be much simpler.
While there is some disagreement on this, the same article from CNN points out that
there may be a relationship between dehydration and muscle cramping.
Dr. Ray Casciari, medical director of the La Amistad Family Health Center explains that
our blood circulation slows down when we don't drink enough water.
He says,
"The body will protect its vital organs, so it shifts fluid away from muscles and anything
that's not vital."
Things can be exacerbated further if our sodium and potassium levels begin to change due to
sweat loss.
This is why it's crucial that we consume enough water every day, but especially in hot weather
and when we're exercising.
How much water?
There are so many different opinions when it comes to knowing how much water we need
to consume each day.
We've all heard the standard eight 8-ounce glasses a day advice.
But the Mayo Clinic reveals that we should be focused on gender and size-based requirements
for optimal health.
For example, a six-foot-five man might feel that eight glasses a day isn't enough, while
a four-foot-ten woman might feel it's too much.
The Institute of Medicine's adequate intake guidelines indicate that 13 cups for men and
nine cups for women is sufficient.
Obviously, if you're sweating, increase your intake accordingly and use common sense.
If it feels like you've had enough water, respect your body.
Remember, if you feel thirsty, you're probably already mildly dehydrated.
"These pretzels… are making me thirsty!"
If your mouth feels parched, guzzle a cup or two to get back on track!
Ahh.
Doesn't that feel better?

BIG BOOKS | Book Recommendations - Duration: 8:49.
Hi guys. It's Trina and this is my
Monthly Recommendations topic for the
month of April. Monthly Recommendations is
a Goodreads group created by myself and
Kayla Rayne where we give you guys a
topic every month and then the entire
book community is welcome to join in and
recommend books that fit that topic. As
always, there will be a link to the group
and to Kayla Rayne's channel in the
description. April's topic is big books, or
books that are more than 500 pages long.
I have 10 books that I'm recommending
today that have more than 500 pages in
them. I've got five adult books and series
and I've got five young adult books and
series, and when I recommended series I
had like the guideline for myself that
every book in the series had to have
been over 500 pages. First up, I want to
recommend an adult series to you. It is
the Game of Thrones, or Song of Ice and
Fire series by George R. R. Martin. I
know a lot of people know about these
books, they're somewhat interested in
them but a lot of people are put off
because of the length. But I read the
entire series, all five books that are
currently out, in 2015. I read them in
just about like nine or ten months and I
did that because I listened to the audio
books, which I did enjoy. I talked about
the audio books of this series in my
recent video about all my all-time
favorite audio books. So I just want to
say that if you are intimidated and put
off of it by the length of it but
you feel like you would enjoy a high
fantasy series, the audio books are
definitely a good option to help you
kind of move through it more quickly.
Next I want to talk about two Stephen
King books that are over 500 pages that
I really enjoyed. I really enjoyed Under
the Dome, which is an adult sci-fi
novel. It is about this small town that
just like wakes up one day and there's
this invisible barrier all around their
town. Nobody can come in, nobody can get
out. The town that is stuck inside of
this dome is running out of food and
supplies and there's like all this
corruption about the politics in that
town that comes to light because
everyone's kind of caged in together, and
they're just trying to figure out like
why is this here and can they get out?
Stephen King is a horror writer but
I don't think that this book is too
scary or anything. Like, it's got a
couple of moments that are like, 'what is
happening here? I don't know!' that maybe
like make you uneasy because it deals
with some like darker themes sometimes,
but I did enjoy it I think it's a good
starting place for like horror if you're
not into like the hardcore scary stuff. I
also really enjoyed his book 11/22/63, which is about a
teacher who finds a doorway into the
past and he decided his his job in life
is to go back and stop the JFK
assassination. I just really enjoyed the
ways this one played with time travel,
like the mechanics of how that one
doorway into the past worked and then
what our character had to go through to
get where he wanted to go and all the
different times that he had to try this.
It's a very long book but I really
enjoyed it and definitely recommend it.
The next thing I want to recommend is
Night Film by Marisha Pessl. This one is
about a young girl who is found dead and
police and everybody, her family, is
like it was a suicide but we follow an
investigative journalist who is like,
'Uh, there's some weird stuff that's been going
on with her family and I don't really
believe that this was a suicide.' So he
starts looking more into it and just
uncovering these really weird facts about
her family and I really enjoyed this
book because it kind of leads you to
think that something paranormal is
happening but it also leads you to think
that maybe you're just imagining that,
maybe the characters are just imagining
that. So it's one of those weird books
where you don't really know what's
happening and you're just trying to
figure it out but I really enjoyed this
book a lot. I would definitely recommend
it if you like mysteries or thrillers.
The last adult novel I want to
recommend is for readers who don't like like
high fantasy and you also don't like
horror or scary stories. It's The Host by
Stephenie Meyer. I know this has been out
for a long time. A lot of people have
already read it or you already know of
it. It's an adult sci-fi novel about when
the world has been taken over by aliens
and they like use human bodies as hosts
and they just like live in your body and
you kind of - like your consciousness
disappears. And we're following a
character who is human and she's having
one of these aliens put inside of her
but her consciousness doesn't disappear
and she actually still regains some
control over her body so it's kind of
like her and this alien trying to get
along and figure out what to do. I would
recommend this one to readers who
like a bit of romance, who like survival
stories, who like stories about aliens.
And I really enjoyed the alien side of
this one because these were such unusual
aliens and this alien character that's in
the main person that we follow like, just
her thoughts about humanity were something
that I really found very fascinating. As
for the YA books that I would
recommend, I would recommend the
Inheritance Cycle series by Christopher
Paolini. There are four books in the
series. It's basically like a hero's quest type of
fantasy story. It's about a young boy
that finds a dragon egg. There's like
elves, and dwarves, and different types of
fantasy creatures. There's like
rebellions, and alliances, and dragons
which are really cool. I love the dragons
in this series. All the books in this
series are over 500 pages and again this
is a series that I really enjoyed
the audiobooks for if you are
intimidated by their length. Another YA
book that I would recommend for fantasy
readers is a fantasy standalone. It is Carry On
by Rainbow Rowell. You do not need to
have read her book Fangirl in order to
understand or read Carry On. This one is
set in a Wizarding school and because of
that a lot of people say it feels a lot
like Harry Potter but I didn't find that
this one was hard to read or hard to get
into. I didn't compare it to Harry Potter
a lot while I was reading it, I
definitely saw it as its own thing. But
this was basically a romance story
between Simon and his roommate Baz, and
these two boys they have this - a lot
of antagonism. They don't get along. They
both think each other is really really
out to get them because Simon is
like the guy who everyone thinks could
be the hero. Baz is the guy that
everyone thinks it's going to be the
villain. I really enjoyed the
relationship in this book. I really
enjoyed the characters in this book. You
know, the world building and stuff leaves
a little bit to be desired but I think
it's a really fun fantasy that reads
pretty quickly and it is over 500 pages,
so if you're looking for a longer tome
to get through quickly this one might
fit that for you. Next, I would recommend
The Diviners series by Libba Bray. So far
there are two books out in this series
and this is a paranormal series about
these different characters that have
supernatural powers. The first book
is about a series of murders that is
happening in the 1920s in New York.
There's like a big stigma around the
people that have these powers so like a
group of different ones kind of band
together to solve this mystery and it's
a pretty big world, a big story going on
here. There's a lot of different elements
to it but I would call this one paranormal.
There's like demons, and ghosts, and there
are some really creepy moments in it but
I don't think it's anything too scary but
if you like paranormal YA books I
would definitely recommend this series.
Again, if you are intimidated by the
length of these books I highly recommend
the audio books. They are some of my
favorites of all time that also made my
favorite audiobooks video. Next, I
recommend the Illuminae series by
Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. The first
book is Illuminae and the
second book is Gemina. This is a sci-fi
series that is following an attack on a
planet. Like, this planet was completely
destroyed and all the survivors that
managed to get off of the planet are
stuck on board these different
spaceships and stuff just keeps going
wrong. There are people that are coming
after the ships in order to like finish
the job and kill everyone that was from
that planet. Then there's like an illness
that breaks out on one of the ships. One
of the computer systems goes rogue and
starts trying to kill people within the
other ships. Both of these books are over
500 pages but they are super quick reads,
like you can read these in just a few
sittings because I feel like the story
is so gripping and there's a lot of
formatting in these books too so some of
the pages look like this or like this.
This series is just a really really fun
ride. I know they're extremely popular
but if you have not read them yet I
definitely recommend them. The last book
that I want to recommend today is
actually a graphic novel. It is Blankets
by Craig Thompson. This is one of my
favorite graphic novels of all time. So,
this one is a true graphic novel. It is just
one installment, that it. It's not a
comic series that has different issues
and different volumes. You can just pick
up this one book and you'll have the entire
story. It is over five hundred pages so
it is very long but because it is
illustrated it reads very quickly. And
this one is a YA contemporary story
about the author's - like it's his memoir
of growing up, and coming of age, and his
first love. I personally feel like
Blankets is a very great starting place
if you're just starting to get into
graphic novels or comics because this
one has such a full story arc. Like it's
a long book so you're getting a
lot of story and I feel like a lot of people
struggle with comics or graphic novels
because they're so short and you're like
oh that story didn't feel very developed.
This one is extremely developed and it
reads a lot like just your typical text
contemporary book but it just has the
illustrations with it. So if you're used
to reading YA contemporaries and you
want to make that jump into graphic
novels or comics I definitely think
Blankets is a great place to start. So
those are some of my favorite books that
are over 500 pages. I would love to hear
your recommendations. What is a big book
that you would recommend to me? If you
know of any that you feel like really
suit my reading taste, please let me know
that down below. Thank you so much for
watching and I will see you in the comments. Bye!

The Real Reason We Don't Hear From Famke Janssen Anymore - Duration: 5:02.
At six feet tall, Famke Janssen has always stood out from the crowd.
The Dutch beauty started her career as a model before breaking out as Bond villain Xenia
Onatopp in GoldenEye and beloved mutant Jean Grey in the X-Men franchise.
But since her character's dramatic death in 2006's X-Men: The Last Stand, the once high-profile
Janssen has somewhat disappeared from the movie spotlight.
Here's a look at the real reason we don't hear from Famke Janssen anymore.
The Last Stand
While the first two installments of the original X-Men trilogy were well received, X-Men: The
Last Stand was a critical disappointment despite making a ton of money.
Fans weren't happy with director Brett Ratner's treatment of the classic Dark Phoenix storyline
from the comics, or with the throwaway deaths of Cyclops, Professor X, or Jean Grey herself.
While the character has since returned to the movies, Janssen has mostly been replaced
by Sophie Turner, who plays a younger version of the superhero.
Janssen reached out to producers about being involved in the prequels, but never heard
back, which she's chalked up to sexism and ageism.
She told Entertainment Weekly, "Women, it's interesting because they're replaced, and
the older versions — or more mature, whatever the politically correct version of that is
— are never to be seen again.
Whereas the men are allowed to be both ages.
Sexism.
I think that I should be back along with my younger version … the way that we've seen
it with Magneto and Professor X."
Hopefully, like Phoenix, Janssen will eventually get the chance to be reborn in the franchise
she helped popularize in the first place.
Breaking the mold
Janssen told The Independent that she's well aware of how Hollywood thinks of her, but
she's determined not to get stuck in the Bond girl roles she's usually offered.
"I'm in a business where 99 percent of casting is typecasting and people compartmentalize
me into a specific area, but it's up to me to fight against it.
I don't want to be typecast, that's my big mission in life and it makes it a harder path
in this business for me."
"People instantly judge you on the way we look; that's human nature, unfortunately.
And the way I look is definitely a double-edged sword.
I've been lucky because I've never been out of work since I started acting, and I've been
in some big studio films, but that's not actually enough creatively."
Instead, Janssen has turned to independent films and television rather than be typecast
as just a femme fatale in blockbuster action flicks.
The directing bug
Janssen took three years off from acting in order to write and direct her first feature
film, Bringing Up Bobby, which appeared on the festival circuit in 2011.
Shot on location in Oklahoma in just 20 days, the film stars Milla Jovovich as a Ukrainian
con artist and single mother who moves to Oklahoma to start a new life.
Janssen was dating Oklahoma-raised actor and producer Cole Frates at the time, and was
inspired by the people and culture of his home state.
"I felt so much like an outsider, and we started talking about the idea of coming up with,
you know, the story of an outsider in Oklahoma, and out came Bringing up Bobby."
Sadly, the film earned poor reviews and never received a wide theatrical release.
But Janssen says she still has some other scripts on the back burner which she may eventually
direct.
Active activist
One of the reasons she's been out of the spotlight is that in addition to working in show business,
Janssen's also a dedicated activist.
For instance, she and her dog Licorice appeared in a People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
advertisement in 2006, while she was also made a U.N. Goodwill Ambassador for Integrity
in 2008.
She's also since become a Water Ambassador for Green Cross International.
She spoke to The Huffington Post about her water activism, saying:
"It is a sin that in today's world, more than 800 million people live without access to
safe drinking water and that 2.5 billion people have no access to appropriate sanitation…Green
Cross International and the UN are doing wonderful things to help bring attention to the topic
of water and change the horrific statistics."
"We can all agree that billions of people lacking access to clean water and sanitation
is one of the colossal failures of the modern era."
The Blacklist
Though Janssen has had a lot of memorable film roles, she got her start in television.
After retiring from modeling in the early '90s, she was cast in a string of guest appearances
on popular series like Melrose Place, Ally McBeal, and The Untouchables, and even appeared
alongside her future X-Men co-star Patrick Stewart in an episode of Star Trek: The Next
Generation.
And since stepping away from the film scene, Janssen has returned to television for a number
of guest starring roles.
But her biggest part these days her lead role as lethal assassin Scottie Hargrove in The
Blacklist: Redemption, a spinoff of NBC's popular drama The Blacklist.
Janssen told The New York Times that one of the big draws of working in television is
that she doesn't have to move to Hollywood.
"One of the deciding factors was New York City.
The fact that I get to stay at home and sleep in my own bed is such a luxury after working
all over the world."
Keep doing your thing, Famke!

Dark Secrets The Cast Of That 70's Show Tried to Hide - Duration: 7:32.
The cast of That '70s Show might've been "all alright" in their on-screen smoke circles
most of the time.
But behind the scenes, there was a lingering haze of drama, some of which came to light
in 2017 with disturbing allegations about star Danny Masterson during his time on the
show.
That got us wondering what else the cast might be sweeping under the rug.
Of course, not all secrets are created equal.
From the serious to the silly, here's a look at some of the other dark secrets the cast
of That 70s Show tried to hide.
The young one
Ukrainian transplant actress Mila Kunis started landing TV gigs at the tender age of 13, appearing
in guest stints on shows like Baywatch and a small recurring role on 7th Heaven.
But while those shows might've been game for working with under-aged actors, the producers
of That '70s Show weren't quite so kid-friendly.
She admitted to People that in order to nab the role of Jackie Burkhart on the show at
the age of 14, she pretended to be a good bit older than she really was.
She said, "I told them I was going to be 18.
But I didn't tell them when I was going to be 18!"
As fate would have it, her "first real kiss" took place in front of the cameras that year.
In character, she planted one on her future husband Ashton Kutcher, who played her character's
then-boyfriend Michael Kelso — and was 23 at the time.
If not for that so-called "little white non-truth," she might not have ended up making the Jackie-Kelso
ship sail onto a romantic island of marriage and babies together.
Of course, there was more to the story than just that.
The unlikely lovers
They played an on-again-off-again young couple on That '70s Show and got together in real-life
several years after the show's end.
But Kunis and Kutcher didn't care for each other very much during the years they shared
the screen.
Kunis told Glamour in 2016, "There's nothing we don't know about each other because we've
known each other for so long: the ugly, the bad, the good.
We went through a period where I thought he was crazy.
At the height of his career, I was like, 'Ugh, I don't like you.
I don't even know you anymore.
You think you're such hot sh-t.'"
She added that even though they went through "full friendship breakups" over the years
of working with and knocking each other, they always reconciled in the end.
What ultimately brought them together was a mutual decision to become bedroom buddies
without any romantic entanglements.
Perhaps not coincidentally, both of them had starred in movies where that exact arrangement
failed to work out.
In 2011, Kutcher appeared in No Strings Attached and Kunis appeared in the similarly-styled
rom-com Friends with Benefits the same year.
"And if we would've just paid attention to how those movies turned out we would know
that we can't go into a relationship this way."
The jailbird
One of the most memorable minor characters of That '70s Show was Leo, the pothead who
works with Hyde and develops a friendship with the gang thanks to his marijuana connections.
The character was played by Tommy Chong, who could've easily floated between his off-screen
persona and on-screen alter ego for how similar they seemed to fans.
But after regular appearances in the show's second, third, and fourth seasons, Leo disappeared
from the group.
His absence was the subject of a season 5 manhunt mission after which only a good-bye
note was found.
He eventually returned near the end of season 7.
In his big comeback episode, Leo explained his absence in his usual way.
"Nah.
Just wandering around, trying to find my place in life."
In reality, though the reason for his time off the show was that he was actually doing
time.
In 2003, Chong was sentenced to nine months in jail for selling pot pipes.
Talk about being far out.
The troubled one
Actress Lisa Robin Kelly portrayed Eric Foreman's big sister Laurie for the show's first five
seasons.
But her role was significantly lessened after the third season.
She didn't appear at all in season 4 and only in a handful of episodes in season 5.
Thanks to her off-screen issues, though, she was completely replaced by actress Christina
Moore in season 6, after she decided to leave the show altogether.
She would later explain her departure to ABC News by saying, "I had lost a baby.
As a result of that I lost it.
I lost everything and I was abusing alcohol … With That '70s Show I was guilty of a
drinking problem, and I ran."
She claimed to have recovered from the troubles that sparked her departure from the show in
time to make a celeb comeback.
But she subsequently spiraled in the spotlight, with a DWI in 2010, followed by allegations
of domestic abuse in 2012, and, ultimately, her death from a drug overdose in 2013.
Too big for his bell bottoms
The hatchet may have been buried over the time that's passed since the group left Point
Place.
But when Topher Grace and Kutcher left the show, Grace's departure was a little more
cutting than his co-star's.
When the two announced they would not return for season 8, Kutcher came back for a couple
of salutary episodes in the new season, while Grace only stopped back by the Foreman residence
for the finale.
Grace has claimed there's no bad blood between them and that he's still close to all of his
former co-stars.
But he has still been noticeably absent for major show-related events, like the cast reunion
in 2016 and Kunis and Kutcher's wedding.
He said he was working on both occasions, but he's also the only major cast member who's
had nothing to do with Netflix's The Ranch.
The show stars Kutcher alongside Danny Masterson and has featured Wilmer Valderrama with public
intentions to welcome Kunis and Laura Prepon to the guest list soon, too.
He was also the only one of major cast members who was never Punk'd by Kutcher.
"Hey, I'm sorry I just got swept away by the super good burn."
Even though he got together with the gang in 2013 to sing the theme song, he's still
been the odd man out on a lot of occasions.
The devoted wife
It may have seemed a little out of left field that Donna's parents, the Pinciottis, suddenly
got a divorce and Brooke Shields came along to play her dad's new love interest in season
6.
But there was a very good reason for actress Tanya Roberts to take her leave of the series.
"Ah, yep.
It was Midge's idea."
The former "Bond girl" reportedly left the program because of the news that her husband,
screenwriter Barry Roberts, was terminally ill.
She did end up coming back for a few episodes, after a three-year hiatus, so there was obviously
no bad blood between her and the show's producers for her decision to take a leave of absence
from the role.
The terrible kisser
Nowadays, Joseph Gordon-Levitt is something of a big screen powerhouse with flicks like
Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, and Looper under his belt.
But in the late '90s he was still just a former child star whose biggest claim to fame was
playing an ancient alien on 3rd Rock from the Sun.
Shortly before his breakthrough role in 10 Things I Hate About You, Gordon-Levitt appeared
in a season 1 episode of That '70s Show.
He played Eric's pal Buddy Morgan, who had a secret crush on him and shared a kiss with
him before being turned down.
That on-screen kiss is credited as being the first gay smooch on North American prime time
TV, but audiences reportedly hated it.
What would've been a potential recurring role was relegated to just one episode appearance.
It didn't hurt Gordon-Levitt's career much, of course, but filming the scenes did leave
a bad taste in his mouth.
He told The Advocate that Grace was "probably one of the worst kissers [he's] ever kissed."
"Aw, look at our poor little tough guy.
Hurting others to ease his own pain."
"I think someone needs a tickle."
Grace's long-time love interest on the show, Laura Prepon, echoed the kiss diss when she
said on a radio show that her Orange Is the New Black co-star Taylor Schilling was the
better kisser of the two.
"Oh ummm."
Talk about bad lip service.
