Welcome back to Kids Fun Science. My name is Ken. Today's experiment is the famous iodine clock reaction. As always adult supervision is required. What you need for this experiment is the iodine clock reaction kit. If you look in the descriptions, I put a link where you can get that. So this is a really awesome experiment. As you can get it online, as I showed you the description, you're going to start off and you're going to add chemical solutions to two different cups, which I marked A and B. Both cups come with the with the kit. I've already poured 40 milliliters of distilled water in each cup. And then in cup A, I'm going to add two small scoops of the sodium iodate. The little measuring cups come with the kit, so it makes it very easy and you're going to put those into cup A. You can just pack that down a little bit and then you're set. And then like I said, there's 40 milliliters of distilled water in each cup. Now for cup B, I'm going to add one scoop of sodium sulfate and four scoops of citric acid. So all these chemicals come really nicely in small little containers and they're labeled very well. And so you use the scoops and you're going to put these into B and we're going to do four scoops of the citric acid. And I did one scoop of the sodium sulfate. The directions are inside the kit, so it makes it very easy to do this experiment and you could do it over and over as I've only bought one kit and I've been using it for well over five years. So once you get those in, then we're going to take our liquid starch. It comes with the kit. You're going to get that really good shake. You want to shake it up very well and then you're going to put eight drops into cup B and then we are going to stir both cups very well. Now we're going to stir these up with popsicle sticks. You've got to make sure that all the chemicals are completely stirred up. You don't want any of the chemicals still in the bottom. You can see it. So stir those very well and what you're going to have to do is supply yourself a plastic clear cup that I will bring in. We're going to pour both A and B into one single cup and they do not supply this cup in the kit, so you're going to need to get in yourself. And so I got one right here and once we put the cup out, we're going to pour A and B into the single cup in the middle at the same time and in about 15 seconds or so it's going to do a complete reaction which is hence the name the iodine clock reaction. So we get both of these pour them in and I give it a little swirl and we shouldn't see any color if we didn't mix it completely right. So we're seeing a little bit of color on the bottom so it could have mixed it a little bit wrong, not enough one of the other chemical. So we're coming close to about 10 seconds and we're getting really close, 5th, 11th, boom, it goes beautiful. All right and the science behind this is iodine has two different oxidation states where one iodine molecules have a negative charge and the others where they have no electric charge. So only the iodine with the no electric charge can combine with starch to make the blue-black color. When solutions A and B are first mixed, all the iodine have a negative charge. When the two separate reactions begin reaction one oxidation changes all the negative charges to the no electric charge but reaction two reduction is faster and it changes the negative charge right back to the electric charge. So it has no chance to combine the starch. The iodine zooms back and forth between two states of thousands of times a second. Of course you can't see this until all of a sudden the chemicals that make the reaction two happen are all used up and then it's time for reaction one to change all the negative back into the electric charge the last time and it combines with the starch and then you have ink and that's the famous iodine clock reaction. So if you ended up blinking you're gonna end up missing the whole reaction it's that quick. So I hope you enjoyed this video remember to click thumbs up or share. I do a new video every day and thanks for watching.

Thank you. We had a great, positive meeting tonight. As what happens when groups of Canadians get together, we found out very quickly that we have far more in common than we have differences. It's been over six years since the last First Minister's meeting took place, and I think we can agree that this one was long overdue. As you know, I've been looking forward to working with the premiers on a range of key priorities. I have the deepest respect for each and every one of them, and for the knowledge they bring to the table on their respective provinces and territories. This meeting was the first of the meetings that took place during the long and fruitful relationship on openness and transparency that I'm looking forward to. Today, we have made concrete progress in connection with two pressing questions that are important to the eyes of Canadians, the climate change, in the provision of the 21st conference of parties in Paris, and the reinstallation of Syrian refugees. Next week, the world will negotiate a new agreement to tackle climate change, and I will personally be attending the leaders segment on November 30th in Paris. Even if all the premiers cannot be in Paris at the same time, I am very happy that most of them are present at COP 21, and I salute the leadership of the premiers in this issue, which is locally and worldwide important. In Paris, a united Canada will demonstrate that we are serious about climate change. This means making decisions based on science. It means reducing carbon emissions, including through carbon pricing, towards a climate resilient economy. It means collaborating with our provincial and territorial partners, supporting climate change efforts in developing countries and investing in sustainable economic prosperity. In the 90 days following the conference in Paris, we will set the date of a meeting between the premiers to make the balance relative to the Canadian pan-Canadian framework aimed at fighting together against climate change. Canada is also going to be there for Syrian refugees who are so desperately seeking safety. Our discussion tonight on the refugee crisis remained focused on ensuring the safe and efficient arrival of incoming refugees, building towards their successful resettlement and participation in Canadian society. As I've said in the past, the security of Canadians remains at the very core of our planning to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees. Robust security planning continues to be an extremely high priority. I am very happy that the provincial and territorial governments, as well as the municipal leaders, have already acted, and that Canadians are personally helping them. We will ask for their close collaboration in the coming days to welcome the victims of this tragedy. This national project consists of testing leadership and doing what is worthy of Canadians, as we have done for the Vietnamese refugees in the 60s and 80s, and for the Soviet refugees in the 90s. I would like to thank the minister, John McCallum, and the many other federal ministers involved and their provincial and territorial counterparts for playing an essential role in the resettlement of Syrian refugees. They all have my complete support. In the years to come, we will look back with pride on what Syrian refugees have brought to Canada through their contributions to our country. I would now like to turn it over to the premiers.

By Kim Hutchinson, guest writer, in 5D.com in a previous article, I described a feeling of being in the void. At the time, I wasn't exactly sure what was happening. Since then, I've received fascinating insights from a variety of sources, including Source itself, and have experienced a transformational healing with golden light beings in the void. I now have a clearer idea of what the void is including its function and how it is assisting with our ascension. I am excited to share this information with you. What exactly is the void? The word void denotes emptiness. It is a null space, a state of nothingness, where nothing, or rather no thing, is manifest. The word void can also be used to cancel or invalidate something. From this level of understanding, being in the void sounds bleak, and yet, the experience has been wonderful. That's because the void isn't empty. Certainly, it is devoid of matter. But source transcends matter. Source is pure awareness. This endless expanse of divine consciousness is the source of all life. The womb of creation When you are in the void there is nothing to separate you from source, there is only source. You, the void and source all become one. This state of divine unity consciousness is where all life begins, and it is to whence we all return. We call this the great void. You and I, along with every universe, galaxy, star, and atom, came from the great void. It is the grand cosmic womb. This is where source created geometric pattern that fractalized into the universe. All life is created from this sacred geometry. Everything from cell division to the separation of worlds follows this geometry of creation that was born in the void. In fact, the atoms in your body contain 99.999% void space. Zoning out since mid-summer, I have been consciously aware of being in the void. Rather than having returned home to the great void, the space I have been visiting feels like a buffer zone. Specifically, this void separates the fourth and fifth dimensions. It serves as a divider, or containment field, between contrasting densities. This neutral zone is very important. As the two dimensions named are so dissimilar, the fourth is dense, polarized, and heavily populated with dark souls. The fifth, on the other hand, feels heavenly. It makes sense to keep the two separated so there is no bleed through. Traversing this void is essential for ascension. I first started zoning out after the summer solstice. The time spent in the void, coupled with the frequency of visits, slowly began to increase. I would be sitting in the sun in my backyard, and then just zone out. It was different from daydreaming. I actually felt like my soul left body and re-merged with source. Something about the sun's light triggered these euphoric soul journeys. We enjoyed an incredibly sunny summer. And so I had many void experiences. As the cooler weather approached I spent less time outdoors, but the source reunions continued. In fact, I found myself slipping off into the void during meditation, healings in the bath, and falling asleep at night. Later in the fall, I found I could slip in and out of states of consciousness as easily as breathing.   It's almost like a toggle switch or a pulse. I hear, I'm in the void, I'm back here, I'm in the void again, I'm not even aware what is happening most of the time. The incubator my experience with the void has been hugely beneficial. It has helped me stay relaxed throughout some intense times. It has also enabled me to be kinder to myself. I feel more peaceful, centered and loving. On the other side, I have experienced increased loss since being in the void, i.e. people dropping out of my life. In retrospect, I now see that anything that did not serve my highest good simply fell away. The void has prepared me for ascension. Perhaps the best result of being in the void is my enhanced connection with source. I have had some truly amazing conversations with source, whom I like to call Source God. One of the questions I asked Source God was, What is the nature of the void that I visit frequently? Source God answered me with a word, incubator. I asked Source to elaborate, and was told, The void is where creation is nurtured into being. Transformation in the void. Following this fascinating exchange with Source God, I experienced an incredible transformational healing in the void. While in deep meditation, I sensed myself in the void. Slowly, I began to manifest the appearance of a light body. I then moved to an observer position so that I could witness what I intuitively knew would happen. I was dressed like a butterfly with huge purple wings. These, I knew, were representative of the spiritual metamorphosis, ascension process, we are experiencing. Golden light beings came to me and offered their assistance. I gladly accepted, and they began to integrate my multidimensional being. I watched in fascination as timelines and dimensions came together in one stream of light. Some were out of phase. These appeared blurred. Others were moving at different speeds, some slower. Other faster. Watching them integrate was like watching CGI effects in a sci-fi movie. Everything was made of golden white light. It was as stunning to behold as it was to experience heightened Mandala effect. In the weeks following my healing, I have experienced numerous timeline anomalies, aka the Mandala effect. Consequently, my memories of certain past events are now different from those of the majority. This makes sense given that my healing merged a multitude of timelines. Given the fact that every timeline has its own unique past, present and future, the process of timeline unification alters one's history. The closer we get to the shift, the more timelines will converge until they come together in one singularity, or event. Life is but a dream. From my experiences, I have learned that the void is where we go to commune with source and to, ultimately, realize that we are source. We move into the void when we are ready to ascend or descend. If you're working your way down through the multiverse, the void is a transitional, womb-like space where we undergo the final stage metamorphosis that will enable us to be birthed into another dimension. Our divine creative powers are unleashed when we are in this dark, dreamy state. Then, when we are ready, our light shines out of that void and creates form through the channel of love. Happy ascension. Note the author. Kim Hutchinson of www.cleahotheiling.ca is a multidimensional dream healer and ascension guide.

Before I get started with the video if you guys could help me out by quickly hitting that like button It literally takes a second and it really helps my channel out. I'd honestly appreciate it so much I'm trying to get this channel back up and running so I'd really appreciate all the support I can get if you're new around here, and you enjoy NBA content. Hit that subscribe button for more videos videos Hit that subscribe button for more videos and obviously if you want to be notified any time I upload a new video Hit that notification button with that said let's get started with the video The Los Angeles Lakers have been major winners in this 2021 off-season. They've managed to improve their roster after winning an NBA championship in the 2020 NBA season and whilst it was a strange season because of the pandemic The Los Angeles Lakers were always seen as front runners to win the NBA Championship from the beginning of the season and even through the pandemic Sure, there was other teams that involved the Clippers and in the East the Bucks and potentially the Celtics But really it was out of the box in the Eastern Conference and the Lakers or the Clippers in the Western Conference Those were the teams that most people expected to win the NBA championship And we saw some surprises particularly in the Eastern Conference with the Miami Heat advancing to the NBA Finals Unfortunately, they had injuries and they weren't as competitive in the NBA Finals We also saw on the Western Conference some surprises with the Clippers not making it to the Western Conference Finals And the Denver Nuggets coming back from three games to one on multiple occasions Which hadn't ever been done before so overall it was a weird season But nevertheless the Lakers achieved the outcome that many expected they would achieve Going into the season. They won the NBA championship Anthony Davis and LeBron James turned out to be the duo that we all expected and they were able to lead this team to an NBA Championship without any real third option They had some solid players in Morris to White Howard, Rajan Rondo, Carl Kuzma But it was really their firepower in Anthony Davis and LeBron James that got the NBA championship for season 2020 Now we are moving on to a new season a new time and a new Los Angeles Lakers squad With new acquisitions in Dennis Schroeder, Montres Harrell and of course Wesley Matthews They are replacing guys like Danny Green, Rajan Rondo, Dwight Howard And then there are a few other outs for the Los Angeles Lakers that have either been waved or have been let go by the team Such as Avery Bradley, Quinn Cook, Deon Waders and JR Smith Most of those guys didn't actually have an impact during the NBA finals. Avery Bradley didn't actually play in the bubble Quinn Cook wasn't really a part of the rotation and neither was JR Smith or Deon Waders The real losses come from Dwight Howard and Rajan Rondo Two veteran players that really gave their career a lifeline Both players were seemingly in and out of teams in the past couple of seasons Dwight Howard could not find a home and neither could Rajan Rondo But they were great veterans for this Lakers team and they really meshed well during the NBA playoffs And of course they were valuable pieces for an NBA championship team Especially Rajan Rondo and during the season Dwight Howard with his extreme career turnaround, which was amazing to see But the Lakers now are looking a lot better They've replaced Danny Green who was really inefficient during this season and had a very down year not even on the offensive end Of course his offensive shooting was not great at all But even his defense which Danny Green is known for being a really great defender Especially in San Antonio and of course when he won his championship with Kawhi Leonard in Toronto Danny Green if he wasn't shooting well, at least it was a very very good defender Last season though He wasn't the Danny Green that was worth $15 million a season and he wasn't playing like a third option Which the Lakers signed him up for which is why acquiring Wesley Matthews on a far cheaper contract and an even better Shooter and a better defender makes this Lakers signing Incredible. He's a guy that you want on your team and he's also a great veteran player to have as he's getting older But he's also still hungry for that NBA championship And then of course the two big names that the Los Angeles Lakers have acquired The big question for the Los Angeles Lakers was who would be that third option now They have two players that play their role exceptionally well and can either be starters or great six men Montres Harrell was a sixth man of the year last year and Dennis Schroeder came second in the award So both players know how to play their roles either off the bench or on the starting lineup and Dennis Schroeder brings so many great things To this Lakers team. He's an isolation threat Which gives the Lakers a great player to have on the offensive end either off the bench or on the starting lineup Which I think he would probably be the starter for this team He's also a really good defender and a player that's willing to dive on the ball and is really gritty Which the Lakers really liked in Rajan Rondo and I think they're gonna love with Dennis Schroeder Who's also much younger in addition Dennis Schroeder is a really good three-point shooter Which is a lot better than what they had with Rajan Rondo and any of there are the playmakers in the Lakers offense Obviously LeBron James is an incredible playmaker But to have a guy like Dennis Schroeder no doubt helps this Los Angeles Lakers team and of course Harrell Harrell is such a grit and grind player a play that the Clippers loved and now he's not a part of that Los Angeles Clippers Patrick Beverly obviously wasn't happy with this and with that Lakers and Clippers rivalries really interesting to see him I guess join the dark side according to Clippers fans, but Lakers fans now have to love this man He goes after every loose ball and it's gonna be really interesting to see how he matches up with LeBron James and Anthony Davis If he plays in the same starting lineup as them or if he comes off the bench Which I think will be most expected out of the sixth man of the year He plays that role so well and you can just see Dennis Schroeder and Montres Harrell playing off together Similar to Lou Williams and Montres Harrell the way they played together And it also addresses one of the big problems the Lakers had last year, which was basically just bench production Who would be the guy to come off the bench and be able to score for this team? Kuzma was there Danny Green was there Cadwell Pope was there But no one was seen as an extreme scorer That was the role of Kyle Kuzma when he was able to come off the bench But it was just random nobody knew who would be the third scorer for this team or a play that would come off the bench to score The Clippers though They had Lou Will and Harrell and you knew that they would be able to score buckets because Lou Will is a great Scorer but he's also able to feed Harrell the ball And that's exactly what they'll be on the Lakers with Dennis Schroeder potentially playing with Harrell like a Lou and Harrell type role for the Los Angeles Lakers and they still have Kyle Kuzma and Morris who looks like he'll resign in addition to guys like KCP and That's enough I think for the Lakers to address their scoring problems off the bench whilst also having the firepower in the starting lineup with LeBron James and Anthony Davis Which is actually really scary in addition Anthony Davis really loves playing at that four positions So if they want a great shooting lineup, they can have Dennis Schroeder, Leslie Matthews, Kyle Kuzma or potentially Morris LeBron James and Anthony Davis if they want a really great tall ball defensive lineup They can run LeBron at the one Matthews at the two Morris if they resign him at the three Davis and Harrell No team is going to be able to score against that lineup and even if they decide to go fast and small They've got Dennis Schroeder, Leslie Matthews, LeBron James, even though he's old He's still extremely athletic and fast and even Harrell He's another guy who's not incredibly tall at six foot eight But the way he plays he can run multiple positions either at the four or the five just because he's simply so versatile This Lakers team has gotten even better during the 2021 offseason. I want to hear what you think down below So, yeah, let me know how you think the Los Angeles Lakers have gone this offseason. I obviously see it as a massive win I'll probably make a complete winners and losers of this year's offseason But the Lakers definitely they've done incredible in my opinion They've obviously got a lot of room not in terms of cap space But they've got a lot of room to still make a trade Kyle Kuzma could potentially be on the block They could even trade away Harrell if he isn't producing what the Lakers want if he's not the correct fit for this team Because of his contract and if you combine Kuzma's and Harrell's together they can potentially get another third option I'm not sure what the Lakers are going to do But what they've done so far is really interesting So I'm excited to see how they play next year if you're new around here Be sure to hit that subscribe button leave a like if you enjoy the video and I'll catch you guys in my next one It's been your boy, Nick Smith.

curiosity, passion, building community. It's brilliant, awesome, extraordinary. Good morning. Welcome to the San Francisco Public Library. It's a pleasure to be a part of the Early Literacy Network here in San Francisco. This has probably been my third year actually participating in the event and leading one of the workshops and it's always a joy because I have the opportunity to learn from other Early Literacy professionals just preparing for the workshops. It's always a challenge because we know that there are so many veterans that come to this event every year so it's always interesting trying to find the material that we know is going to be new and innovative for them but also just make it fun for them where they really feel like they're learning something new from all of the amazing organizations that come to the table to put this event together. It's bringing us in to learn from each other, bounce off of each other so that we can take it back out to our centers, our daycares, our schools and make things a little bit better. We feel like we have a lot of support when we come and so it's like once you leave, once I left the first session, when I first came to the first one it's like I couldn't wait for the second one. I know I will be learning something and bringing it into my classroom. Sometimes when we teach we always teach in a certain way but it's not until we go outside and we see how other people do their teaching and getting ideas you know it's always refreshing to learn new ideas and bringing it into the classroom and it just makes you feel very exciting to be a teacher. We get free books then we get a lot of different activities, handsome activities. And you really provide us a lot of really good trainings but we just enjoy it and keep coming and I love to be here today. When I come here I really feel like I am a unique contributor to a larger network of early literacy professionals and especially all of the men and women that are part of the San Francisco Early Literacy Network. They've been a crucial part in my growing up as a young professional within this field and so it's hard not to get emotional when we do some of these warm and fuzzy activities as a part of a larger whole but it really makes me feel like I've had something to contribute but I know that I've also learned so much. The library has always been an important part of my focus in the classroom. I always came to the library on a regular basis to get books that were related to the theme that we had. It's so important to have the linkage because literacy and language development is becoming the forefront for the school district and so the opportunities to combine what's happening in the community and also what's happening in the school will just provide that redundancy that I think will support better learning for the children and also show the families in the community the importance of language and literacy development. I think that if every sector had a platform like the ELN we could all go deeper and farther and really increase the quality of our work across the city so my hope is for the future of the ELN that it really continues to thrive and continues to inspire people across the city no matter what content they're working on to use the ELN as kind of a model collaboration how agencies and professionals can work together. The Early Literacy Buffet is a beacon program of the San Francisco Early Literacy Network hosted by the San Francisco Public Library to showcase united support for local early childhood educators. The 2000 Buffet was made possible by contributing members of the ELN which included Katharine Aranda of Jumpstart, Brian Castain, Christy Estrevitz and Catherine Reimler of the San Francisco Public Library, Allie Quintos and Lynn Mays of Pulsingware Consulting, Jude Deckenbach from First Book and Joe Potter from Raising a Reader. 80 early childhood educators ranging from SFUSD early education programs to private daycares and family daycares gathered for a morning of nourishment professional development and networking at the Buffet. The Mimi and Peter Haas Fund provided a bag of books to refresh the classroom of every participant and a certificate of professional growth. Supporting educators sharing resources and partnering together are core to the mission of the ELN. The annual Buffet is one example of the many ways the ELN's mission is put into action.


Ah, the Nintendo Entertainment System, with just a little bit of a slide, a click, and a close. This started off many people's childhoods, ranging from Mario, the Legend of Zelda, all the way to the Kirby games. It is a long journey that it's made all the way to the Nintendo Switch, but I'm going to show you how I turned this, with a little bit of power, a little bit of know-how, into a shrunk-down version. So, stay tuned. Right here is one of the many business cards I've collected throughout my travels. Right here, for a size comparison, is a 1.4GHz quad-core computer that runs a multitude of different operating systems that are Linux-based. It can run a retro operating system called, I believe, a retro arc, or it is also commonly known as emulation station. And basically what that is, is an operating system that goes onto an SD card, and then loads into the bottom slot right here. So I'm going to show you how I go from this tiny card-shaped computer to putting it in something that looks just like a Nintendo Entertainment System. Therefore, shrinking down an older console and making it something more modern. Let's do this. So the first thing we need to do is take this out of its nice pretty little box that it came in, and then slide this baby out, and put that to the side. So this is a really nice case, and I picked this one specifically because some of the ones had the colors mismatched. If you look at the side, it has a bunch of different openings for the things to go into. Let's say HDMI, the audio, and the micro USB, and back here it even has a place for the SD card, and a place for the LEDs to show up. So that's really nice. Not to mention a ventilation. So if we take this apart right here, set that down. You can see that it comes with a nice little tool kit, which is nice because I don't know where my iFixit kit is. There's some screws here at the bottom, and then a nice little screwdriver that we can use. Let's go ahead and open this up. I'll take the screwdriver out, and then get something to set these on top of. Let's see what I have around my desk. I'll just use the box right here, and we'll just slide these out. We have a bunch of little screws right here. It looks like some of these have a little lip on them, so I'm assuming those are used for something different. But let's go ahead and put this here and grab the Raspberry Pi. So it has four screws right here, and it looks as though it needs to lay down into this little section. So let's see how well it fits. That's nice. As you can see, it falls in there pretty nicely. Alright, so now that we have that in there, we need to go ahead and attach this portion right here. It came with a heat sink on a more expensive version, but I opted out on it. Hopefully there's enough ventilation. So let's go ahead and adjust the flap, and then set it down on top of here. That's satisfying. Closes up pretty well. Adjust the little flap, and it clips on. And then I believe from the bottom, yeah, you can see the motherboard, kind of cool. We're actually going to put the screws in right here so that we can attach everything together. Yeah, a tiny bit of flex, but it's pretty much all in there now. And if you open this little latch right here, which actually clips in, you get the full USBs right here. A really cool thing about the Raspberry Pi is if you want to load retro games onto a USB, you can actually load them off from right here.  It also has Ethernet as well if you want a fast connection for your save. You want to put it by your TV, and install a version, I believe, of Moonlight. You can stream your PC games to your PC with low latency, which is kind of nice, kind of like a steam link. But let's go ahead and close that up. I already have an operating system loaded, I believe, on this 64GB Samsung Evo. So I'm going to go ahead and load this in here and then boot up some games, since we've already kind of shrunk down this guy and showed you how simple it was to go from the original to something that can do the same thing. Let's see what we can do with this. And now with a little bit of software tinkering and getting Super Mario Bros. 3 on here, we're just going to go ahead and plug in the HDMI. And then we're also going to plug in the micro-USB that is used to power it on, which is only 5 volts, by the way. As you can see, it's starting to boot up. It starts up and says RetroPie. You can actually customize the loading screen if you wanted to. I've seen people do it before. I'm not sure how to do it myself, though, as it says Emulation Station. And now it says No Game Pad Detected. I have a PlayStation 4 controller plugged in with a micro-USB right here, and all we have to do is un-latch this and plug it into one of the mini-USBs. Hold down a button, and it is now working. Then we can go over to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and then click on Super Mario Bros. 3.  And just like that, you have a console that is actually smaller than the size of the original cartridge. It's really amazing how technology has progressed throughout the years and that you can pretty much do whatever you want now with your older games. You can run them on a credit card, a sized computer, and everything. Let's see if we can get a little bit of gameplay going on in here. As you see, I can move around in everything and start the level. Everything runs super smooth. And I can pretty much play it just like I would, except this time we're doing it in high definition. So that's pretty cool. But yeah, what do you guys think? I think this is probably one of the most advanced things that I've ever done besides the Game Boy one, where I kind of redid the shell on an old Game Boy advanced. But yeah, I want to do more videos like this in the future, and I really think that technology is one of my specialties. But yeah, Super Mario Bros. 3 shrinking down a Nintendo Entertainment System.

You're Pablo Escobar, world-renowned drug kingpin, seventh richest man in the world, DEA's most wanted, trying to relax on a Saturday afternoon. What do you do? Well, Netflix wouldn't be around for a few more years, and the Xbox hadn't yet been developed. So, what are you supposed to do with all your free time? Well, why not play with some hippos? Yep, that's exactly what he did. If you liked the video, don't forget to subscribe, and let's jump in. In the early 1980s, Pablo Escobar was the leader of the Medellin Cartel, dubbed the King of Cocaine. The cartel pulled in more than $70 million a day, totaling more than $22 billion a year. If the Medellin Cartel was a company today, that would put them just outside of the top 500 largest companies in the world by revenue, and the ninth largest in South America. But what do you do with all your wealth when you're one of the world's most wanted men? Well, you can't access most banks or financial markets without getting your assets seized by the Americans, and there are only so many Colombian companies you can buy. At their height, the Medellin Cartel was spending $2,500 a month on rubber bands just to keep their cash bundled together, and each year they lost more than $2 billion to hungry rats nibbling on the bills they had to hide throughout Colombia, again, since they couldn't keep most of it in banks. At a certain point, you just have to start spending money on random things, otherwise the rats will just have more to eat. So Escobar decided to take one of his mansions east of Medellin, and make the largest private zoo on the planet. He imported many animals, from giraffes to rhinos to zebras, and yes, even some hippos. Although there were some logistical challenges to importing hippos. For starters, their native homeland was some 5,000 miles and an ocean away. Not to mention, they can go up to 5 tons and every year kill more humans than any other mammal. Except for people, I guess. But Escobar was determined to make it happen. Luckily for him, his side business taught him a lot about smuggling things across borders, and he was able to sneak four hippos from California into the country. Over the years, Escobar enjoyed his zoo, and the hippos reportedly became his favorite animal. After Escobar's death in 1993, the Colombian government quickly seized his assets. When they came across the zoo, they began distributing the animals they found to other zoos across the country. Except for the rhinos and hippos, which they decided were too big and expensive to transport, and so they released them into their surrounding swamp land. The rhinos, which weren't as good at living in the Colombian wilderness, quickly died out, but the hippos started thriving. Without the big cats and hyenas that preyed upon them in Africa, their population grew. And seemingly opposed to the fight-fire-with-fire mentality, government officials didn't bring these apex predators to Colombia to keep the hippo populations in check. It might seem strange that the government decided to release these apex predators into the wilderness, but back in the 1990s, invasive species and the effects they could have on an ecosystem weren't as well understood as they are today. And honestly, they probably didn't think the hippos would survive very long so far from their natural habitat. Today, we know that invasive species can have an enormous effect on the ecosystems they encounter. Overall, invasive species like the cantoed in Australia and Asian carp in the US cause more than $100 billion in damages every year by killing native species, eating crops, damaging infrastructure and growing uncontrollably without their natural predators. And Pablo's hippos haven't turned out any different. A hippo eats more than 80 pounds of food a day, depleting resources from many native species like Colombia's native catfish and the endangered Amazonian manatee. Since they were first released, the hippo population in Colombia has grown rapidly and now sits at more than 50 from the original four just a few decades ago. With them tearing up the ecosystem and threatening the lives of the now many tourists who have started to come see them, how does one solve the hippo problem? Well, the easiest answer would be for the government to deal with the hippos the same way they dealt with Escobar. But in 2009, after hunters acting on government orders shot Pepe, one of Escobar's original hippos while he was rampaging through nearby farmland, animal rights activists sued the government. This led to a court ruling prohibiting hunting the hippos. With their enormous upkeep costs, remember, each one eats 80 pounds of food a day. No local zoos want them. The next obvious solution is to neuter them. The hippos will still be alive, but they won't be able to father any offspring, so it just turns into a long waiting game. A pretty long one. But as you can imagine, doing work down there isn't easy when the down there is attached to a 6,000 pound human eating machine. So neutering a hippo requires getting it away from the other hippos, tranquilizing it and then operating and all of these logistics aren't cheap. With local authorities strapped for cash by the time they neuter one, five more are born and sending them back to Africa isn't an option either. As you can imagine, going from 4 to 50 required a lot of inbreeding and officials aren't sure how their genes would affect the already delicate African herds. Their last option, authorities are currently trying to develop a birth control compatible for hippos, but so far this hasn't amounted to anything and those same animal rights groups that block their hunting probably won't like putting them on the pill. Things like these are why, in recent years, governments have been putting increasing restrictions on transporting foods and animals across borders, but as global markets become ever more connected, it seems invasive species are inevitable. After all, it only takes a few slipping through the cracks to cause big problems. A perfect example happened in Australia in 1857 when a handful of European rabbits were released into the wild for hunting before ballooning into more than 600 million a century later. Even with costly measures taken in the last few decades, their population still sets at around 100 million today. Only time will tell what will happen to Escobar's hippos, but for now this is where our story ends. I hope you liked the video and if you did, consider watching the one tagged in the outro. Have a great day and remember, there is always more to learn.
