Hey everybody and welcome to the video.
This is Josh here, and today we're making Chocolate s'mores mini pies.
I've always had a huge sweet tooth, and it can be tough to satisfy those sweet cravings
sometimes, especially when you're dieting and don't have a ton of extra calories to
spare.
These pies only come out to 140 calories each and take about 10 minutes to make.
I really hope you give these a try, be sure to let me know down below if you do and subscribe
if you'd like to see more, I put out new recipes every other Friday.
First off, we're going to prepare our graham cracker crust.
I'm using cinnamon graham crackers, just because any true s'mores aficionado knows
they make the best s'mores, but the traditional or honey flavor will work well too.
Smash the graham crackers with a rolling pin or mallet of some kind, until you get a medium
to fine consistency.
Instead of butter, we're using nonfat plain greek yogurt for our liquid along with a bit
of stevia.
Thoroughly mix everything together until a dough-like consistency has formed and divide
the crust mixture evenly into 4 lined muffin tins and spread it out as evenly as you can.
Next, we're going to make our chocolate pudding.
I say make but this is really a cheater recipe since we're using instant.
Take one packet of instant sugar free pudding along with some unsweetened cashew milk and
whisk them until the powder is gone and the pudding starts to thicken.
Divide the pudding evenly between the graham cracker crusts and let these cool and set
in the fridge for a minimum of 5-10 minutes.
Once cooled, we're going to top the mini-pies with some marshmallows.
It's totally okay if you don't have one to do this, but a quick hit from a kitchen
torch to brown the marshmallows will really elevate the presentation if you're serving
these at a party or event.
These pies are really too good to be true.
Nothing about them feels or tastes like a diet recipe, yet they're a fraction of the
calories from what you'd expect.
They're incredibly rich and chocolatey, and you're sure to impress your friends
or family bring these to your next gathering.
Ingredient amounts and all other info is up on the blog, be sure to check out beardedfatloss.com
for that, but until next time I will talk to you all later.
Have a good one.

Mini-Video - Accounting 2 - Chapter 21 "The High-Low Method" - Duration: 8:34.
Now, once we determine once we determine, folks, that there is a relationship between
two variables, we still want to come up with the equation of that line, the Y equals A
plus B times X.
One way that we can do that, kind of a quick and dirty little way, is what is known as
the highlow method.
And the objective, again, is to calculate the equation of the mixed cost.
That Y equals A plus B times X, okay?
Now I've learned that the best way to teach highlow method is actually just to do an example.
So we're going to do an example here.
All right?
Okay, here is a series of months and the units produced and the total cost for each.
And let's say we feel that these, this is a situation that is a mixed cost.
And we did that, perhaps, by plotting out a scatter diagram.
Okay, the first thing that we want to do here is identify which of these columns is the
X variable and which one of these is the Y variable.
Okay, well which is the X variable?
Units produced.
Okay.
And total cost is the Y variable, okay?
Now what we do, come off that if you would and show me, is once we've identified the
X and the Y there we go, show it all if you can.
Then what we want to do, actually, is we kind of want to cover up the Y's, don't even look
at them.
Just look at your X's.
And I want you to determine which of these is the highest X and which of these is the
lowest X. I'm not asking you which is the highest Y and lowest Y no, no, no.
Cover up the Y's so you're not even tempted to look at them right now.
Which of these of these is the highest X?
Which of these is the lowest X?
Okay.
So going back to the computer, once you do that, which is the highest X?
>>February.
>>February, okay?
That's the high.
Which of these is the lowest X?
>>June.
>>June.
That is the low.
You with me?
Okay.
So, what we're going to do then, once we've determined the high month and the low month,
we're going to actually use all the data from those months now, and we are going to figure
out the equation of the mixed cost, okay?
The first thing that we're going to do is we're going to determine the variable cost,
okay?
So let me go back over the document camera, all right?
Okay.
The first thing we're going to solve for is B, which is the variable cost.
Well that equals the change in Y over the change in X of the high and the low point,
okay?
So the change in Y is is it 29,000 minus 20,500?
Somebody help me oops, I just wrote on that.
>>That's right.
>>Okay.
Divided by the change in X of the high and the low point.
So that would be 67,500 units minus 17,500 units; is that correct?
>>Yup.
>>So if you compute that out, that comes out to 17 cents a unit.
That is the B in our line.
Are you with me?
Okay.
Now the next step is we want to solve for A, which is our fixed cost.
The way we're going to do that is we're going to, once again, consider the entire equation
of a mixed cost.
We just solved for B, okay?
Now what we're going to do is we're going to borrow the Y and the X from either the
high or the low point, okay?
From the high or the low point.
So going back to the computer, we're going to use either this X and Y up here or this
one down here.
Either way it'll give us the same answer.
I usually use the low one because it seems like it's sometimes easier math, okay?
So what is the Y what is Y at the low point?
>>20,500.
>>20,500.
A is what we're trying to solve for.
What is X at the low?
>>17,500.
>>17,500; is that correct?
Okay.
So once you do that you get 20,500 equals A plus let's see what .17 times 17,500 equals.
I think that's 2,975.
>>I can barely see it.
>>Thank you.
So 20,500 equals A plus 2,975.
So what does A equal?
17,525?
Okay.
So we now have our B and we now have our A, okay?
Now let me show you how I don't like you to show this answer.
Some students will write this out, they'll say Y equals 17,525 plus .17X.
Well, yeah, sort of.
But let's go ahead and define these variables for this specific situation.
What does Y, in this situation, equal?
We're looking back at the computer, Y equals total costs, right?
So let's say total costs equals $17,525 plus – well, what does X equal in this example?
Units produced, right?
So let's say 17 cents per unit produced times the number of units produced.
Now, doesn't that just give you a better warm fuzzy in your tummy that you really understand
what this what we really did was?
Okay.
Because now what can we do?
Well, now what we can do is once we have that equation right there, let's say we expect
an activity level of 20,000 units.
Well, what would we expect to be our total costs?
Well, we can plug it into that equation and we can come up with an answer of 20,925.
Are you with me?
Okay, that's why we want that equation.
So as managers (inaudible) costs.
(Inaudible) costs is a huge part of running a business.
Are you with me?

How to charge Battery on Mini R50 R53 2000-2006 First Generation - Duration: 3:23.
Hello Guys and Girls it's Lurgs here. Welcome to my Mini World and today
how to check and also charge the battery on your Mini First Generation. This is
the R50 R52 and R53. So before we get started let's have a nice cup of tea!
(Hey careful Man there's a beverage here huh).
Oh lovely, right so first of all we need to open the bonnet there's another video
about that on my channel very simple. So come around the front of the motor
there's a small little lever underneath the bonnet (or the hood) lift that up and
the battery is actually here just under a little plastic cover. So just pull that
clip in gently and then just lift and at the back you've got like a rubber
housing just lift that up and then the plastic cover just lifts away.
There we go. And there is the battery....'Bosch'.
So that actually looks pretty good but I've had trouble starting it
today so I think the the voltage is quite low so I've got my multimeter. So
put that on 20 volts and test. I'm going to test the battery so put the black one
on the negative(-) and the red one on the positive(+) and let's see what the voltage
is. Now bearing in mind this is a 12 volt battery and we've got just over 10 volts
and that's why I'm having problems starting it. So that should read 12-13 volts
really so what I'm going to do now is get out my battery charger. Now in an
ideal world you would disconnect the battery from the car and the terminals
to avoid any damage to your electronics but I've never ever had a problem in all
the years I've been doing it, and it's only a small trickle charge anyway and
just give it a quick charge just a couple of hours. So put the crocodile
clips on there make sure you put them on the right way round that is very
important! RED on the positive(+), BLACK on the NEGATIVE(-) and plug it in and the jobs
a goodun'. Leave that for as long as you need to... Right this is an hour later
let's test it again and we've got 12.78 volts. Absolutely perfect.
So let's just put the cover back on that's just a reversal of what we did
before, it just gently lays on there put the rubber strip back at the back.
This is all fairly simple, obviously it's a bit more tricky with one arm and filming at the same time so there we go.
Please subscribe by pressing this button

Appreciate you visiting my channel. Cheers Guys and Girls.

Super Soap Hyper Concentrate and Pink Car Soap on Mini Cooper and Honda - Duration: 7:38.
Thanks for checking out 3D Products I'm Donald Williams in this segment we're
going to show you super soap versus the regular pink car soap now this is not in
any way shape or form diminishing the power of our pink car soap but it's to
show you what we're getting in the package with the super soap that we have
in our own nano drums we have two cars here we have Francisco Mendoza's the
2014 SEMA buffing champion in the background he's gonna go ahead and spray
down this one with some BDX and we're going to use the APC on this MINI Cooper
that we mixed here in a previous segment we're going to spray all the wheels we
have the super degreaser it's diluted at 40:1 on the honda accord we're going to
use and wash it down with pink car soap now just to show you that we're doing
everything even we're going to go ahead and fill this these bottles up with the
bucket of water now they're one of these buckets we're going to use maybe about
800 milliliters and whether it be 3D Pink car soap or the competitors soap
there's anywhere from four to six ounces of soap now we have a local mobile
detailing company here that's going to provide us with the pressure washing and
it's Superior detailing he's got a pretty nice-looking rig here he's gonna
let us go ahead and crank this up and here we go okay so we're gonna go ahead
and screw this on here it's your typical foam cannon or foam lance. You can find
this at the 3D location here in Santa Clarita and a lot of your distributors
throughout the US we're gonna give a little bit of a stir just to kind of
make sure it's nice and tight just make sure your valves on we're gonna open it
up they got six ounces of regular pink car soap and this 32 ounce bottle I'm
gonna fire this baby up we got good foam to do this car with
soap and the idea is to keep us with as little touch as
possible now here we go we got good foam nice clean even foam looks like the
owners got something on there to put it over the car windshields until you've
got a good base coat of wax we're gonna make sure we bathe this baby with some
foam and allow this foam to sit now the pressure washer is going to shower
this guy here with foam and the soap is going to do a lot of the work you see
the BDX cleaned off with a little bit of purple in there got good foam ability
it's got a good cleaning ability now we just wanna make sure we have good rinse
ability as we do with all forms of members good for mobility good cleaning
ability and great rinse ability you can see what pink car soap one of the
standards of it is how well it foams up how easy it is to rinse off and what we
can tell so far is how easy it is to clean off for how much cleaning
cleanliness it has. It is able to clean a lot of that dirt off this cars looking nice and
clean and again notice how easy it is to rinse, so we're not even having to touch
this car. BDX did its job The tires look nice and clean. We will rinse this
off here real quick make sure we get everything rinse it down and then all
you have to do after this is make sure you dry it off either your choice
microfiber shammies using as little touching as possible now we're going to take empty
this out rinse out the bottle now we're going to do 800 milliliters and we're
going to put in an ounce. After the runoff be about 3/4 ounce of super
soap so we're use this same measuring cup and we are looking to fill up about an ounce
but is a little bit thicker we'll probably end up with about 3/4 ounce we
don't want have to put too much in here so we're at 1 ounce here as you pour it
off a little bit of it poured out all over the place let's just call it
3/4 ounce screw the lid on do the same procedure
we did before a little back and forth and look at how quickly and easy it
mixes the pressure wash of this car off get some of the dirt off just because
it's already bit dirty rinse it off give it a quick rinse prior to putting the
soap on here because you want to try and get as much of the loose dirt off of the
car as you can and we've got the wand back on set it up and here we go Wow
look at that foam ability things amazing jeez remember this is only about three
quarter ounces we tried to get a whole ounce in there and good thing we didn't
because otherwise this sucker would be covered in stucco actually we're not
really worried about it because not only does it have great foam ability
you'll see in a second how much rinse ability we have here a nice little
close-up on how much this foam sticks on here okay got great build he's breaking
down loose dirt particles we can even get a little bit more out of this
Francis who's going to tighten this up for us and show us even how much more
foam we can get out of just that 3/4 ounce oh wow look at the build on that
it's amazing now we're comparing this to I think we did four ounces maybe six
ounces pink car soap and for those you use have used Pink car soap. Pink car soap
foams up really well not quite like this I think Frank's having a little bit too
much fun here in a little Francisco Mendoza I think he's going to be the
2018 soaking champion after this one can you see how much build we have on it now
I might be a little overkill probably want to back that down also depends on
pressure and water and how much foam you're gonna get but probably want to
back this down to about a half ounce for 800 milliliters or 32 ounce bottle now
we have all this foam on here everybody gets nervous that it's not gonna wash
off because that's a lot of foam now if you do the math half ounce does six cars
per tank and it's 250 six of these fill ups times 6 that's 1536 car washes you
can get out of just one gallon a 3D NANO super soap now we're gonna check out
the rinse ability here and wow look at that comes right off all that foam still
comes right off not hard and one thing that's important about it is you know
you want to make sure your little water conscious as well so if it takes way
more water I'm gonna spend more water so you're not going to worry about that so
rinse ability check we've marked that off in the Box got very very good rinse
ability we'll look at the clean ability here looks very clean look at the tires
nice and clean body of the car which had a lot of dirt behind the wheel wells
clean grille windshield clean look really really good
and again rinsing right off the car looks nice so basically all we'll have
to do now is dry it off I think our job here is done
Thanks for checking out 3d products again the we appreciate you guys taking
the time we really appreciate superior detail
down in Santa Clarita California for letting us use his machinery and his
equipment to show and demonstrate our brand new nano drum super soap obviously
you can see the benefits it speaks for itself you're gonna get that great foam
ability that easy vents ability and their wonderful clean ability all in the
power of one half ounce to an ounce of product as opposed to any other leading
product at anywhere from six ounces to eight ounce of product we appreciate you
checking us out again thank you to superior detail I'm Don Williams we'll
see you next time 3dproducts.com and make sure you keep up speed looking for
these new nano systems we're going to show you how to be able to use them
using only one pump 32 ounce bottle very easy very simple breakdowns coming soon
we'll see you that make sure you watch one keep it up I'll talk to you soon
have a good time, later, mic drop.

Mini Read: Dark Souls—Games as Art - Duration: 10:10.
Dark Souls from 2011 is special for a lot of reasons,
but one the most impressive things it does is how it constructs the past.
The way in which the player discovers the past of its world, Lordran,
is a striking metaphor for how historians work, our relationship to the past,
and what we have to do in order to keep it.
Today I'd like to put this into the context of a discussion I've seen blooming up again
around the tubes in the past weeks:
the question of whether games are art or not.
But instead of just further bloating the argument for games as art, I want to try adding something
new to the discussion.
You see, I could wax philosophical about Duchamp's urinal, Wittgenstein's or Immanuel Kant's
ideas on art and aesthetics, or try to define concepts—
but would that really have any potential impact?
Would that help?
I also wouldn't want to write a polemic against other voices around the internet arguing
for the inclusion of games, for reasons which will hopefully become clear.
Roger Ebert, on the other hand...well, on a map representing the art establishment he's here.
If anything, with the only caveat being that he is sadly no longer with us, he could be
brought down a peg or two.
It's certainly true that the argument against games as art is a semantic one, and consequently
its goal is exclusion.
So I'd like to start off with a thought from Ebert himself:
"Why are gamers so intensely concerned, anyway, that games be defined as art?
… Do they require validation?"
Welcome to Ludocriticism.
This is Mini-Read, a series where we step back from the big picture,
and look at single elements from a game.
In Dark Souls, the past is not laid out before you as it is in so many other games with rich back stories.
Instead, you need to search for tiny scraps of the past—
scraps found in item descriptions, architecture, and environmental designs—
in order to create a full picture of just what has happened in its dystopian world.
It's a process of breaking up elements of myth, legend, and history and putting them
back together that took a communal effort from players to reach something close to a conclusion.
The process can be seen as a metaphor, or even analogy, to how the historian works.
The historian, too, needs to sift through fragments of the past together with a global
community to make some sense of those parts of our existence that aren't with us anymore.
Dark Souls requires a 50 hour long flourish of creative expression to represent so well
the tragedy of how much of the past always continues to be lost to posterity.
It's an astounding expression of the conditions of the human experience, and I can't imagine
any of our other mediums being able to represent it so competently.
But here's the thing: studying, or even appreciating, art is inherently demanding.
It requires interpretation, which is a skill you need to cultivate.
Jonathan Blow has spoken at length about his desire for games to speak to the human condition.
But I think they already do.
There are other examples that, albeit doing things differently from Dark Souls' construction of the past,
also speak to a condition of human existence.
Shadow of the Colossus can pretty easily be read as a parable of the environmental damage
humans cause: the world is cold and uncaring, populated only by these mysterious colossi
we're unable to communicate with.
And we—the players, humans—react by decimating the only other possible life-forms,
as if the cold and uncaring world is some great unfairness thrust upon us that entitles us
to not only not take care of that only world we have, but also destroy those we share it with.
That's definitely there if you want to see it, and know how to find it.
Then there's Journey, which can easily be read as a representation of the generality
of all human life-times.
You're a nondescript character in a culturally nondescript world.
You run into other non-descript characters controlled by other players—
sometimes you share only a moment of your respective journeys,
and sometimes you spend a good chunk of it traveling together.
You encounter mystery, hardship even, but also triumph, joy, and beauty,
before you make a final climb into oblivion.
That's there too, if you look for it.
Even a game like QWOP, which is absolutely absurd, can be viewed as a meditation on our
relationship to our own bodies:
are your limbs you, or are they separate?
Are they something in between, acting on your behalf but only insofar as some vague and
undefined feeling of distance allows them to.
All these things are there in all of these games, but only if you look for them and have
the ability to see them.
Only once gamers as community members grow old enough, and take themselves seriously enough
to actually have some interpretive skills and qualifications to know what to
look for and how to share their ideas with other members of the same community,
do these things travel outside of the games.
I think we're in that transition now.
Ebert's words from the start of this video become relevant in light of this,
and they betray both a privilege and a lack of compassion on the part of Ebert.
Why wouldn't we require validation?
Ebert seems to take for granted whatever grace made him—
—the son of an electrician from Illinois—
the first film critic to receive the first Pulitzer Prize for Criticism.
Isn't it true that the prize he received validated film lovers from around the world?
Isn't it true that it validated the medium as such?
In 2010, Ebert wrote a rebuttal to the criticism levied at his views on video games through
a critique of a Ted Talk arguing for games as art.
He concludes like this:
"I allow Santiago the last word...
[Oh, Roger, you're too generous!]
Toward the end of her presentation, she shows a visual with six circles, which represent,
I gather, the components now forming for her brave new world of video games as art.
The circles are labeled: Development, Finance, Publishing, Marketing, Education, and Executive Management.
I rest my case."
His wildly condescending tone aside, that's a damn good point.
But he fails to realize that capital is, and always has been, incredibly slow to include
marginal markets.
Making something with a marginal market in mind is risky, so most market actors require
a trailblazer to prove the profitability of said marginal market.
That just makes sense.
The industry is not what's going to validate games as art.
So what is?
It ultimately falls to the gaming community, because Ebert, and people like him,
have nothing to gain by actively including gamers in his world of art...except, you know, being a better
person than he is mandated to be.
My point is he's being rude by omission, and if he's so appreciative of art he could
maybe aspire to be a better fellow human, as art so often inspires us to be.
A more compassionate reaction would be to say "Wow, you find some existential meaning
in this seemingly meaningless thing?
That's wonderful, what are you seeing?"
Gamers are in a special place when it comes to the two strategies of exclusion and inclusion.
We still remember, as a culture, a time when our medium was connected to a
sense of stigma and shame.
So I present you now:
the Ludocriticism Guide to Validation From the Art Establishment™:
Step 1: Hang out in basements and hide your enjoyment of games from society...like a troll.
Step 2: Start demanding things from games.
Step 3: Allow games to demand something from you—interpretation—
and rise up to the occassion.
Step 4:
Step 4: ???
Step 5: Profit.
I think we're in between step two and step three at this point in time.
But I'd ask this: do you see Roger Ebert in this step-by-step guide?
Do you see the gaming industry?
I don't.
I see us.
And if I'd venture a guess as to what step four would consist of, it would be this:
help legitimizing the meaning others find in games.
Be it Dark Souls, Shadow of the Colossus, Journey, QWOP, or any other game,
appreciate the meaning you and other people find in them.
Share it with others.
Shove it down their throats.
You'll probably find that you won't have to push very hard at all,
because below a certain age everybody plays games—
—whether you know about it or not, and whether they admit it or not.
Whatever grace has allowed us to be here in this historical moment that contains video games,
this is going to be our lives.
Sooner or later, they too will be lost to posterity.
Thanks so much for watching!
And thanks for the responses to the first episode of Mini-Read—
that obviously means a lot to me.
How do you feel about the artsy aspect of video games?
Can you just not shut up about your intense interest, or do you think Janet in accounting's
Candy Crush obsession doesn't qualify as a mutual interest?

Being a transgender makeup artist in Singapore: a mini-documentary | BEYOND SKIN DEEP - Duration: 6:32.
I think that for makeup,
it's always about colours
Colour is the thing that really brightens up the mood
and
it will lift the spirit as well.
By being a makeup artist,
it is my passion,
my job to make people look good
and feel good
I think that my very first encounter with makeup is
when I was really about 7 years old.
That's when I started to see my mum
apply makeup on her face and it was like,
oooooh, she changed to a different person!
I told myself that maybe, yeah
maybe put a little bit on myself
and see how is the change going to be.
And, after I put it on, it was amazing
At the age of 10,
I think that I was very different from people.
Ya.
I love to play cooking,
I love to play paper dolls.
Ya, it's a very iconic thing for all the girls to play.
And during then, I noticed that I was different.
To be frank with you, nobody wants to be called
Bapok, Ah Kwa
There are some nicer terms to call us.
You know, like, you can us Sisters.
I think when you mention us like
"Ehh, I saw a Sister walking around the street',
I think
none of us will really, bite back at you.
Ya.
We will be very happy and
we'll say "thank you to you, for calling us Sisters".
I believe that people who know me has
always thought that 'oh
Ginger is a very flamboyant
makeup artist in MAC.
Very loud. and very daring."
But initially when I started,
it wasn't like that
I needed to overcome how people looked at me
and what do people think of me.
When people are so insensitive
You know, in the MRT,
"Nali? Nali? Nali?" ("where?" in Chinese)
and keep on looking around me
and when she look at me, "Ohhhhh".
You know it's so embarrassing?
And I will just stand up and ask them,
"Are you looking for me?
Do you need my autograph?
I'm standing in front of you.
Which part do you want to see?
It's really very scary.
The most important thing is that
being transgender is not really as people think about
being glamorous, being different.
Nowadays, I think people are more welcoming,
and more accepting,
but during those days
when we are starting to go through our transition, it's not easy.
The most difficult part is about family's acceptance
which I think that part really
slightly difficult, because I love my family a lot.
And, how society looks at us.
I mean you can talk about us, it's fine.
But,
don't let my ears hear, don't let my eyes see,
that's the most easy thing.
You can walk out of sight, then you say
"not sure whether that person a guy or a girl?".
That is fine.
I mean that it is perfectly normal but
please have a little bit more
empathy towards people.
That is the part that I think is really difficult and
Sometimes, I get suicide tendencies.
It will come to that as well, because
it's like whatever you have done,
it's not being accepted.
So, how I'm gonna fight,
how I'm gonna survive, in society.
When you are in secondary school,
then you start to like boys,
just like any other girls.
But you don't dare to say,
because you are so worried
about how people look at you.
How people will laugh at you.
How are you a disgrace to your family.
My mum, she knows
but she cannot accept.
But however, I was having a hard time also because
during then, she was diagnosed with cancer.
And she also revealed my identity.
She saw tell-tale signs and she revealed to my dad
to let me be who I am.
Ya.
So that also had a little bit of influence
to my dad and my family as well.
Because, she's the head of the family,
when she mentioned that, naturally,
my brothers
will tend to be a bit more submissive and
tend to be a bit more open.
When I went for my surgery, after my surgery,
I still don't want to, I still don't have
the courage to face my relatives and everything
And it's my family who supported to say that
'you have already been (transformed) as a woman now, so
just face it, we will be together with you'.
This is so nice and i'm so
happy about that.
Ya.
To be frank with you, until now, sometimes
I still think, "Why am I like that?"
Ya.
In the world, in this so-called the fashion industry,
I feel that sometimes I'm also still
not given much opportunities to prove myself as well.
So,
you know the negative thoughts will off and on come back again
But however, I start to educate myself as that
I am an abled person.
I am indeed more fortunate than any other people
who are suffering, and they are disabled,
and they have some illness.
So, that will help me to counteract my negative thoughts
and make me feel that
'eh, at least,
I'm still enjoying my passion'.
For being transgender,
I think
beauty is coming from inside.
Not from outside.
You need to love yourself.
Makeup is only an external thing,
to help you to boost some self-confidence.
But the most important thing, is a true heart.
That really you need to know what are you looking for.
