Now ladies and gentlemen, I don't want you to panic, but we're about to do daily tech news show Oh, yeah, and also don't panic but Lamar Wilson is here Calm down. Yeah. No, don't don't don't go screaming and running after him trying to tear Pete pieces of his clothes off. We know we get it It is what it is guys Something it's a burden. You have to live with them are yes, you know I live with the burden with the S on my chest every day You know super Lamar or go out and soak up the rays of that yellow Sun to strengthen yourself Yes Yes, and that the yellow Sun creates the power we needed to power my new Xbox Is the Xbox one s kryptonite powered is that did I read that I mean It could not possibly be yeah, it could not possibly be At all in any way, it's not green, right? There's no green on it No, at least not this version They're gonna have some special editions like Gears of War some other ones that might have some dip the Gears of War one Looks great because I love red and black, but yeah Hopefully I get to unbox it. I won't keep it, but I definitely want to box it Did you treat? Oh good the Gears of War one. Yeah. Yeah, I tweeted it 115 I'm getting better about that tweeting before I go on Let people know we're actually doing the show. I Have a social media advisor tells me if you let people know you're doing the show more people will actually take part in watching or listening Boy, did you need to pay somebody for that? $1000 an hour to get that Like huh And that's the case. I mean I'm need to switch careers really quick. Yeah, right All right, let's get this show on the road you ready? Yes. Yes, sir. Let's do it. Let's do it. Here we go Daily Tech news show is powered by its audience not outside organizations to find out more head to Daily Tech news show comm slash support This is the Daily Tech news for Tuesday August 2nd 2016. I'm Tom Merritt joining me today Lamar Wilson is in the house Can you believe it's August already? I'm just sorry to be that guy who's just like I was that guy yesterday. It's like what's what's going on here? Yeah August man feels like it was just January 1st 2013 when I worked it when When I worked in schools we it was a year round so we had to come back in August So I'm used to working really hard in August. Oh, yeah, so that's the odd you're like the opposite of Europe Yeah, yeah, well Lamar was lucky enough to get his hands on an Xbox one s early So we're gonna get your impressions of having played around with that over the weekend here in a little bit If you if you could sum it up in one word, would you be able to? Yes, oh That would be the oh, I thought maybe I was I would say Sleek Sleek, all right. Good. Yeah, that seems to fit a lot of the reviews. I'm seeing let's first of all look at some top stories Samsung had its big New York announcement a new 5.7 inch galaxy note 7 was unveiled as expected If you were keeping track, they skipped the note 6 There's a lot of theories as to why Peter Wells thinks that they were just wanted to distance themselves from the note 5 But yes, the last one was the note 5 this one's the note 7 the internals are very similar to the s7 and the s7 edge It has IP68 water resistance although the note extends its water resistance to the stylus or the Spen the S Pen They really put a micro SD card slot back in the note note 7 has 64 gigs of internal storage So a little more than the s7 USB-C port not a USB an old USB port 3500 milliamp hour batteries about 500 more milliamp hours than the previous note also has an infrared iris scanner That can be used to unlock the phone use in place of the fingerprint And they can even use it to lock apps and files in a secure folder note 7 will launch with Android 6 They said Android 7 will come someday, but they didn't tell you when you can get it in black silver and blue in the US Internationally you can also get it in gold pre-orders for the note 7 begin August 3rd in the US for shipping August 19th And pricing will vary by carrier, but they said it'd be more expensive than the s7. So at least more than $770. Yeah, I looked at the verges I didn't get to see the announcer, but I saw the verges video on it the first look and yeah, it looks fantastic I mean they got the it's edge to edge basically and I I forgot that the five Took away the SD card. I thought that was just the Galaxy line that did that because they got eviscerated for that when they when they did that, but uh, Yeah, I wish it well I kind of wish they would have stuck to their guns because the performance is better if they can you can manage to memory internally better You know theoretically, but you know, they gave it to the fans, which I guess will help them some more Yeah, I think it's better. It's a nice-looking phone It's funny how the note used to be this ridiculous size and now it's just kind of a normal size at 5. I wonder why that happened I wonder what company came out with one that made it popular to have a modified that But yeah, it was really good this iris scanner. Well, I was talking with beatmaster in our slack before the show He's like come on man retina scan iris scans can be fooled by pictures And you have to have like a 1200 dpi photo and you have to have access to the phone and stuff It's not something that is going to happen often But fingerprints scans can be fooled as well with 3d printers and in even like touch conducive paper Could fool them. So yes iris scanner is not the be all end all security option for your device But it's a nice differential here. It's a nice gimmick to just to say you have something extra to know layer security You could you could use They also announced a few other products the Samsung gear VR has an updated form factor They flattened out the touchpad added a dedicated menu button Increased the field of view from 96 to 101 degrees and they added usb-c in an interesting way So you can pull out the little usb-c connector that's inside the gear VR and replace it with a micro usb connector So it's not an adapter like once the once the little connector is in there. It stays flush So it's not gonna Take up space which you kind of need it to not take up space if you want your phone to fit in there So that gives you the ability to use the usb-c on the note 7 but also use your older galaxy phones With the micro usb and then they put a usb-c port on the bottom Which they used to have a regular usb micro usb port for charging your phone while you're using the gear VR The usb-c port will still be able to do that, but it will also be able to carry data So you might get some people making accessories Maybe controls.  I've seen it at E3 I walked past it if you tell it the lines are just crazy. I haven't had a chance to play with one of these before I've only the Oculus and the HTC Vive but that's so funny because the gear VR is the more ubiquitous one But I think I've only tried it once Versus the HTC Vive I've tried multiple times. Yeah, and do they have an option where you can buy this get a Lower-end phone to put in it.  Okay. Yeah, you gotta get I'm that's where the problem is you've got to get a Samsung phone They changed the color used to be white. It's now dark blue including dark blue on the inside A lot of people were distracted by the white on the inside. Oh, okay Pre-orders are starting tomorrow $99 for shipping August 19th And Samsung also announced its gear 360 VR camera. It's the one they announced it at CES We'll go on sale in the US August 19th for 349 dollars and that one you can use to record video and put wherever you want Yeah, it's a nice looking camera. Again, it's one of those things like Someone finally got that form factor, right? But at 360 you put on a desk, but it's only for Samsung products. I mean, of course People will say the same thing for Apple is Apple made one it'd be only for Apple stuff But I don't know it looks it looks really cool. I've played with some 360 cameras before and they were clunky And and they did not look as slick as this. I'm happy for Samsung owners I might have to get a I just have to buy one just to play with this stuff Yeah, I mean we're like, you know these when webcams what webcams were in 2001 these 360 cameras are now So it'll be a few years before they get really slick I'm wondering when the equivalent to you remember the What was that? There was the bloggy from Sony and there was another one for for taking web video that you could then upload to the internet Those little single-use devices, I'm wondering when we're gonna get the equivalent of that Instagram added a new feature called stories today that lets you post photos and 10 second videos that disappear after 24 hours Since ideas and generic names are not protected by intellectual property law snapchat will not likely sue Also snapchat still lets you put stickers Filters and lenses and Instagram doesn't have those yet Instagram stories will appear in a row at the top of your feed It'll roll out worldwide for iOS and Android over the next few weeks at Lamar. I haven't got it yet But you said you got it right before the show I did and I'm not understanding what people saying They stole from from snapchat. They they because Kevin's sister basically said It looks like it is an update by the way if you're looking for a hard update for yaps, it won't come in that way It's just a server update. They'll they'll update Yeah, but it has my my most frequent friends up there and then a new button where I can create a Story this is this is kind of what's there is light there But this is the one that's running about cats because they know I like cats I guess yeah And yeah, and then I can I can make most I'm actually excited about a Trying it out because as I was talking to you before the show I wanted reasons. I don't like using snapchat is that I it's yet another app and I'm always trying to minimize Integrate and I had a vision about this a few days ago You've got a vision you say He was I had thought about some type of thing to be an Instagram similar to this and then they come out with this So I think Facebook and Instagram are reading my mind and have a camera somewhere in my house Well, you're the target then because I look at this as someone who uses snapchat and I'm like Not sure why I would use this. I guess it does reduce my my need to make the perfect picture on Instagram And I guess there's some people I know like Lamar who I know I have on Instagram But they don't really use snapchat So I can kind of see it But if you're somebody who doesn't use snapchat at all and you're looking for a relief from like Instagram photos always have to be so perfect I don't want them to have to last forever or I need to I want to do like 12 of them But I don't want them to stick around on my timeline forever. This is your take people. Yeah. Yeah, exactly So I'm looking forward to I'm gonna play with it today Google announced its plans to deliver amp links to all mobile search results amp is a standing for Accelerated mobile pages. This is Google's open source version of Facebook's instant articles It's an open source project on GitHub started by Google to deliver faster loading pages Google has highlighted app based news stories in its carousel at the top of mobile search results for a while now You may have seen that on mobile where you you see the little amp logo or the lightning bolt You tap on it and and the story comes up really fast Well now amp enabled links will show up in the main search And those will show a small lightning bolt by them as well Google will start with a developer preview of amp pages in search results before they roll it out to the rest of us later this year And they said they will not give preferential treatment to amp pages in search rankings However, the verge pointed out that one of the search ranking Signals is how fast your page loads. So if your page loads really fast on amp that is going to help you in search engine Rankings I would think Absolutely, and they totally didn't steal the the lightning bolt thing from Twitter, which has Twitter moments, you know, well Well, yeah, and Facebook uses the lightning bolt for instant articles. Yeah, right, right the universal symbol I guess it is the universal one. I Like there's a there's a really good argument and the verge makes this argument that this is unnecessarily complicated and Takes away control from the page owner, right? So instead of just making HTML Google is operating a system that you have to now build separately to amp enable your pages And that that while it's open source means that I as a publisher Have a limited number of options in my mobile pages if this catches on because amp restricts how many ad units how many images So it can run faster, right? Yeah, okay So yeah, they could go sorry. No, no, I was just saying so now it's overly complicated for publishers Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm just thinking I could end up causing some some problems as fairness I guess people like it's you know, this company has more resources. They can you know do this or Google treats them better It's it's an argument for Google using its dominant position in search For it maybe you think it's a good thing to say hey reduce the complexity on those pages So I don't have to use an ad blocker And I'll see your ads more often the load faster. They use less of my data. Everybody wins But and I can granted it is an open-source project and Google's letting anybody use it who wants but it's Google Putting it in its search results that really drives it forward and it's not standard. It's not an HTML standard It's a standard that Google created on top of that So the right, you know, yes now you've got a if you're a super publisher You have to have a Facebook instant article version an HTML version and an amp version And a mobile responsive version in case somebody's not using Google and searching boy Yeah, I used to build websites and I'm glad I got out of that game Well, I mean what I did a Daily Tech news show was I went found a plug-in for WordPress and said Make an amp version of all my pages and it does make an amp version Okay, but that's not gonna be good enough for somebody like the verge who has like loads of decisions to make about what ads they want To show up in this thing and absolutely TP link admitted violating US radio frequency rules by selling routers that allowed users to change the country code and then Operate at power levels beyond approved US limits. So you could just go in there You didn't have to prove you were in a country you could change the country code on your router and get a little extra range out of it While violating FCC rules at the same time. I don't even know you can do that Yeah, apparently you could but you can't anymore TP link is gonna pay $200,000 comply with rules going forward They've pushed firmware out to fix that option. So you have to use old firmware if you want that option and break the law and interestingly in their agreement with the FCC to to be punished They agreed to allow customers to install open-source firmware on their routers and why that's interesting if you remember Recently the FCC put in rules that require vendors to prevent third-party software From changing certain things that cause radio interference a lot of companies instead of writing the extra code to Prevent open-source router software like open WRT from being able to access the radio frequencies Instead just said we're not gonna allow third-party software and a lot of people said ah the FCC is waging more on open-source software Because they put through this rule that effectively encourages companies to limit the kind of firmware I could put on my router There were exemptions links is for instance routers are accommodating the new rules and allowing third-party open-source software But this settlement which has nothing to do with that radio frequency It has to do with a power thing that's totally separate this settlement requires TP link To a loud third-party firmware to be installed So the FCC is using the settlement to show it does not at least it's trying to say look see we don't want to prevent Consumers from using open-source software. We may TP link do this even though it has nothing to do with their violation Okay, yeah, that's confusing my answer. I know and I followed along but that's just like Yeah, well, it's a weird thing because I mean if you don't understand the difference between the two violations It's like well they violated something with the router and they have to do something else I get it, but it's basically said like saying you use too many volts And so in punishment you have to allow third-party software on your router Yeah, yeah, they're basically yeah They're basically using them as an example since they already had them for an over the knee for one one Issue already that that's what the confusing part was. Yeah, and and now there's another router manufacturer involuntarily Saying hey if you're an open WRT user or some other third-party router software user now you've got another option I'll be curious to see if TP link sees an uptick in their sales because of that And will that uptick lead to revenue more than $200,000 which is what they pay the fine Hmm. I like what you think Finally on Monday, Japan's NHK began the first TV satellite broadcast in 8k resolution Lamar 8k broadcast I'm throwing away my Xbox. Yeah, throw away your Xbox throw away your TV And just red get ready to watch NHK now some of the programming is in 4k But they all they have lots of 8k comment content at 76 80 by 43 20 Supports 22.2 channel audio. They they only broadcast from 10 a.m. Until 5 p.m But they're doing a lot of content in advance of the Olympics and the whole point is to be able to show a Olympic coverage in 8k once the Olympics start later this week. Here's a problem though Lamar. Yeah An 8k television, no, I barely have a fork Yeah, you can't get an 8k television because I don't think there are any on the market Are they so in Japan models? I feel like I eat three. No, they always come out with one That is a reference model, but never you you can you could definitely find one on the floor at CES I'm sharp. I'm that sharp had a 3 had a couple on on display Not for sale not for you to take home So the so NHK is having to install public viewing stations around the country so that you can watch this and I love this because I Do a book called the year in tech history I do daily post called today in tech history and it's always fun to see like the first television broadcast Took place in August and one of the things they did was install televisions in local shops So that people could watch it because nobody had a television and here we are history repeating itself doing the exact same thing.  Maybe I mean that would be great for 4k. So yeah, I'm a K No, it's a case gonna be excellent for large screens It will it will allow you to get up close to your television and see detail instead of pixels Which is kind of insane, right? Yeah, that's correct. You can you can zoom in by just walking up to your TV It won't fuzz out on you. That was Sherry Sark from Engadgets on 8k television at CES when you're and told me on tech news today that He was like it's amazing.  That is scary. Yeah, so I want it's cool in that respect And it convinced me that like I think I might just hold out on 4k until 8k comes along, which is gonna be a long time though Yeah, and that's good Okay, always does this NHK always finds whatever that like they did it with HD in the 80s They they were doing oh really high-def broadcast. Yeah, they always do it well ahead to kind of show off their their technical chops Thanks to everybody who participates in our subreddit at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com It definitely helps us put together a fine fine show every day a you tiger fan helped us out strike it rich one motang Go share Steve. I owe Funk around was in there today and more get in there submit some stories and vote at daily tech news show dot reddit dot com That's a look at our top stories Let's get to this Xbox one s I know I just I just bummed you out because I'm like 8k and the whole deal with the Xbox one s is it can show video Yeah, 4k. I don't even want like I want to just toss this out the where's the window? Don't know mark. Don't I hold up to it for the for the sake of it's too small It will hurt no one Break the window. It'll just like compared to me. It is really tiny, but go ahead Let's get some oh, yeah So it's a no Xbox one s 40 percent smaller than the original integrated power supply and 4k HDR video, but not gameplay So Yeah, Eurogamer digital foundry did it did some tests on it and basically the GPU's clock speed is 914 megahertz 7.1 percent faster than the Xbox ones 853 megahertz GPU this GPU can do 2.4 teraflops, which is up from 1.31 That's still less than the ps4 which does 1.84 and according to Microsoft Upclocking the graphics core core is essentially what they needed to do to get that real-time Non-HDR version of the game of the game DVR features streaming and screenshots, so They they did enough to make it play video, but not enough to do real-time game rendering Right, and they weren't trying to do. Yeah, they weren't trying to do that in this version Good so is it really feel smaller. Oh Yeah, I did a boxing of it I have had this since Friday and I did on about seven and absolutely small I put this one on top of the other one and as I'm doing the video I'm like wow like it is it's definitely smaller they managed to get the The power situation solved where you don't have that big brick anymore So it's just one plug that you that you plug in You know smaller as Roger was saying before the show Could lead to some other problems they you know when it's bigger They had more room for the fan as Roger was saying so it was in a big quieter Now they have to ramp the fan up especially with you know with 4k and I'm sure there's some heating issues there The reason I say that is is that although I've had no problems with this I have noticed when I pause my TV. I hear I hear it and not as loud as the 360 Like an airplane taking off like yeah, but because the 360 used to drag out the airport next door Would I yeah, so it's not that bad good. No, no, no, but it was noticeable I got pause and I say wait a minute. Is that the Xbox and it was weird cuz I've never heard my one so I don't think that's a deal breaker But it is something to You know understand and know that it you will hear or hear this one I guess that's a sacrifice for for making it more compact and get and get rid of That fan as well now the other thing Eurogamer was saying is you've got about a nine frame per second in the moment differential between the two consoles In essence the difference is rather like a factory overclocked PC Did you notice that in playing any of the games on it? Did it feel like it was quicker better or less lag etc? No, I felt that the Interface of you know, their main dashboard was a little snappier. I played Star Wars Battlefront. I played The new technomancer play Call of Duty. I ran through the apps the Netflix app had 4k available Amazon at the time did not so I wasn't able to look at their 4k, but yeah, everything seemed about the same With with gaming. I don't have a 4k disc just has to blue rate. I was really excited to do that So I'm gonna probably run out to mess by today or tomorrow to do to get that Well, I gotta say I looked up prices of 4k blue ray players. This is the cheapest one out there I mean, that's 399 right for the two. Yeah, yeah, right and the 500 gigabyte one which comes out a little bit later Yeah, be 299 so I mean and I'm seeing these these going for two to four hundred five hundred dollars These 4k blue ray players. So like if you just want a new age blue ray player You know, yeah beat this right now beatmaster in our chat room has a fair point He's like does that fan noise disqualified it as a like high-end home theater source though Like that was it bothersome while you're watching videos. No, no, I did that's the thing I didn't I didn't hear anything while even at low volume I don't hear the only time I heard it was I hit mute and I just heard a notice they hummed in the house I normally don't hear okay, there's a real sensitive to the noises around so most of us wouldn't notice it Maybe like Yeah, I mean if you gotta be sitting really close to it. I'm sitting what No, eight to ten feet from it and yeah, even at low volume. I don't hear it at all Like there's some machines that you can tell that it's on And I got I remember the 360 So you you you're not gonna see a whole lot of gameplay difference in this Maybe a tiny bit if you're if you're really paying attention But you got actual 4k HDR video and you said you watched it on Netflix. You've got a 4k TV Yeah, I have a 4k. Yeah. Yeah, I mean it looks as well as my the 4k app that's built into my Vizio I have a 2014 Vizio, so it doesn't have the HDR It only has one port for the 60 The 60 Hertz, you know, so I was able to plug this in thank goodness So yeah, and I'll honestly The new games that come out Gears of War Four and a couple of the games will take advantage of the HDR capability and it'll take advantage of I believe the faster processor, so the newer games will start to see a Parity difference, but in general as I said in the video This is for people if you're you sitting on a 360 you looking to upgrade you got it You want to do it this year? It doesn't make sense to get to get the one just go ahead and get this one If you're Xbox one person that you have a 4k TV and You want 4k because you don't have any other way It's want to look at but I'm gonna be honest I said in a video and Microsoft did send this to me by the way for for For review, so I do want to disclose that but and as I said in video Honestly, if you have a Xbox one and it's working fine, and you know your power cord is out the way and you There's there's nothing compelling in this Especially if you don't have 4k to to buy it. I don't I don't think it's gonna make your games that much better As the as to advertise scorpion. Well, it sounds like the only choice is I don't have an Xbox one And I don't have a 4k TV And I'm looking to buy an Xbox do I get the one s for say $249 later this month for the 500 gigabyte or do I get the Xbox one for a hundred ninety nine dollars from Best Buy and save myself You know 50 bucks. Yeah, it'll be too. Now. It's already gonna Lord to 249. I thought well I think it's 249 unbundled. I think that the 299 Oh, okay, okay, but you may not be able to find it unbundled for a while, too. So yeah I always say Get the latest thing if you if it's not that much of a difference worth that 50 bucks unless you just don't have that 50 bucks. Yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely if you're gonna invest in it going to get the latest one the the controller The controllers great it has a Bluetooth So you can use a controller not for not for the Xbox before Windows 10 for your PC So no longer do you have to have that big extension? To make a wireless controller work. It's double the range on the Xbox one s So if it was 20 feet in your house now, it's 40 you can go outside and still control Hey, I don't know why you like head down to the corner store and keep playing. Okay, good Yeah, but you know, but what it's used for is having hit a headset on and I will go to another side of the house and keep talking Someone it'll go out now that probably won't happen And they got some did you talk about the Cortana stuff when you were well Before we get off the controller though, like otherwise, it's just the textured grip and the and the new thumb And the new thumbstick design. Is that I make any difference to you? Did you notice me? Yeah, it's I didn't notice the thumbs as much as I did notice that the texture grip which I guess helps you hold it a little bit better. I I don't I didn't really see a big difference Yeah, and the new summer software update came today for all the Xbox ones It's got the big thing is Cortana now I was talking about Cortana earlier today on my Xbox And so that that has definitely improved the voice recognition Although if you like the current Xbox voice recognition, you can keep it You can go into settings and turn off Cortana and go with the regular one There's also a few other things in their background music support region free language choice Did the Xbox one has come with the update? Yes, well, no, I had to download it when I when I got it I do want to say something about the connect. I had to connect in the last one. A lot of people don't have the connect It does not come with the with the ability to plug in the connect You have to get an abide adapter which then plugs in the USB I Thought about it and I looked at how much I use the connect and I said, you know I don't use it that much to Even bother with that. So I just I took the connect off and I haven't used it This weekend I can still use Cortana if I put a headset on To let you know to talk to her but other than that I just I thought about like I use it to say open twitch and That I think that's it. I think maybe open YouTube I'll say two commands and so to me just wasn't worth the extra power We use it We run our Tivo which has an over-the-air signal on it through the Xbox one And so we use the voice commands We to like watch TV Like if we're if we turn on the Xbox and it's still on the menu or on a game or something It's the easier way to do that. I lean uses that all the time We'll even usually to pause because it'll it'll be able to control the Tivo Interesting. Okay. So yeah, so that is option. You do have to buy the dunk the dongle For that but for the Xbox. Yeah. Yeah other than that sleek is still my word. I think it's I think it's sleek I think it looks cool. I don't really as I said in the video I really care too much about looks once it's in my TV cabinet. I don't really care what Yeah, what it looks like or how big it is but for those who do care they did provide a solution for you and I think I think it's a good investment so far I Haven't had any glitches or anything. So yeah, so yeah If you don't have an Xbox one and you want one or you have a 4k TV now and you want a source for it. There you go. Those are your two use cases. Otherwise, you're fine. Don't worry about it Yeah, you're good. Yeah Thank You Lamar appreciate taking a look at them. Yeah, our pick of the day comes from Tyler Who says look you guys have been having a lot of discussions about stock prices It was earnings week for a couple of weeks there He says so I want to recommend Yahoo Finance for anybody who wants to get quick stock prices or historical data I've been using it since I took a finance course in college back in 2006 Now I track a non-profits endowment and compare it to benchmarks that reflect similar holdings Yahoo Finance's historical price section Easily downloads into Excel where I can play with the numbers I'm sure there are programs or websites that could do all this for me But I love to work with the raw data on my own and I can get it from Yahoo Finance. So there you go. I Used Yahoo Finance back in the day. I didn't buy stocks but just to learn about stocks I've always been a fan of Yahoo's little, you know, apps not apps So what they're they're sites like this. So good choice. It's a really good site even today Thank You Tyler because I send us your picks folks feedback at daily tech news show comm You can find more picks at daily tech news show comm slash picks Real quickly William Madison at blind insight comm talking about uber said it would be great If uber would build into its profile and notification system to the drivers that the rider is blind or maybe deaf Or any other kind of accessibility requirement because the dry if you're blind You won't be able to see the driver and additional assistance may be needed I've gone back to calling a cab so that their dispatch can relay the information that I'm blind So the driver won't just pull up and expect me to see him and get in the car Highly accurate maps and GPS would also help drivers see where the disabled individual is. Yeah I think it's a good idea. There's another thing about uber. I did know I had to ask a driver They don't see our picture like you put your profile picture in that they have no idea What should look like when they pull up and always thought they did I don't know Maybe uber does that to avoid discrimination if they see someone they don't want to pick up But I think in this situation that would be helpful for the driver to see Okay, this is what the person looks like this, you know, and and be and safely be able to pick them up If they have a disability absolutely now John we've dykstra wrote in from sunny Salisbury, New Brunswick, Canada and I sworn I was done talking about John Deere tractors after after we strung that conversation out for a few days But he said as I sit in my John Deere 7330 piling grass silage. I'm happy you gave a shout out to the many farmers listening to podcast whether driving tractors or milking cows I love to keep up with the tech news that being said I believe the reason that John Deere so adamant not to let farmers work on their tractors is that it saves them time Effort and money when designing new tractors. They've moved to utilizing Software to limit the capability of a range of tractors and I know a couple of you already mentioned this But John has a really clear description He says a series of range of tractors might have five models But instead of putting five different sized engines in them They want to put the same large engine in all five and reduce the horsepower comes down to the fact that John Deere Doesn't want to let farmers overclock their tractors. It's all about protecting their investment So you buy a bigger tractor that has the same engine as the smaller one and there similar situation with certain processors where they'll just turn off a core and sell it as a a Processor with fewer cores and they'll even sell you an in in place upgrade to a quad core If you only have three core runs cores running. I Never thought I hear about a a tractor having software and overclocking that is that is no I know I love I love this so I thank you John for sending that to us And finally Evan Koblen's president of the vintage computer Federation wanted us to remind you that the vintage computer Festival West is this weekend It last ran nine years ago under a former owner and Evan's group as a non-profit Acquired it last fall.

Oh, is right. Yeah. Yeah.  We have a situation where a lot of people have Like lied about their giveaways.  I just rather not be part of that. No, I hear you know, yeah, I Give away good tidings and they were video. That's the giveaway. I gave away I did I'm doing a short series and I didn't have a new episode last week So I brought already broke my first rule of regularity, but I'm called. It's called What is that where I just hold something up on my YouTube channel? I saw that I like that and I gave away an e-book because that's easy. Oh, yeah, that's digital. That's fine Yeah, it's digital. I can I can give it. Yeah, I can give it very easily with just a link I've done gift cards occasionally to people. Oh, yeah, we're in other other countries Especially if they Wants up at the time when I was doing giveaways and I want something that I couldn't ship it to them For whatever reason.  I read it is Logistics of all that. I remember the prize closet at tech TV Roger Had to keep a closet for the prizes we would give away and then you'd have to remember to ship them and get somebody to Put them in boxes and send them out and keep track You said I'm out or not. Yeah. Oh, yeah, it was always in turns. I Don't think Roger remembers the closet Closet the prize closet.  Yeah closet. Yeah, we came out of the closet a long time ago No, we're talking about giveaways and prize closets We Are you talking about that you're just talking in general but not talking about the one I was talking about the tech TV prize closet And how much of a mess it was? Well, so there was a generic one, but there was also like call for help at a show specific one We had our own closet, which was under my desk Well, right You'd have to go find Robin Huseveld if you wanted to get anything out of the tech TV one So you needed to have your own for the shows because it wasn't always convenient we screensavers and call for help because of the because of the the shows we're able to basically manage our own Prize giveaways on the show because we did a we did remember we did a daily one. We had the little wall And then all those prizes were by my feet and you did the fridge magnet thing and That was the fridge the fridge magnet thing was Yeah, yeah, but we would send people the fridge magnet too. Oh, yeah. Yeah, we give them There's a lot of Probably We had a boatload of things that we didn't give away at the end when When G4 moved everyone down and I just called all the vendors like It's like I'm gonna return this stuff because we can give away I knew a couple of people wanted them, but it's like nah Well, I remember Intel did a deal where they wanted us to give away their netcams This was when Intel started to do hardware briefly sound effects things and digital netcams and stuff and and Then they stopped and we weren't allowed to give away the Intel netcams because there was a different sponsor so there were all these netcams just taking up space in the closet and I Was allowed to take them and use them at my wedding Instead So we use those instead of the disposable cameras on all the tables This year you had an Intel sponsored wedding, but you didn't get paid for it. Yeah, Intel didn't have didn't pay us anything We We had some pretty smart we had some pretty good deals going In terms of like partnerships with product giveaways and stuff and it's always random I mean random in so much to where I would you know on the game board was interesting. It was fun And the thing is most of them were pretty inexpensive. They would be like, you know, hey, you want a tee Like 90% of the prizes were called t-shirts I'm sure you win a t-shirt Like the grand prize would be like oh you win the Sound Blaster USB sound card whoo your winner. Here's your $60 prize. Give us your address Wait, tell tell me USB sound cards didn't really exist. Yeah, they still do. What are you talking about? Hey? I'm using one right now Are you okay? I Well, I'll I'll yeah, my stuff was always internal. I just yeah, I didn't the USB sound cards were The outgrowth. I mean they've always existed for professional recorders because they want oh Usually they were firewire USBs didn't come around until later until USB 2.0, but It was just easier for I mean if you have if you're if you're recording artist or music producer You don't want to climb over your equipment and take out your box that you have your digital audio workstation on and plug it And you card and all that so It was just here especially for people with laptops, you know, you don't have you don't have PCI Now I make sense and the reason I'm using one is that the computer. I'm on only has mini jack in and out and I don't like that It causes interference problems, so I have a little Berenger USB sound card that allows me to go RCA in and out to my mixer okay, I Retract I Mean they're actually really handy and especially if you're an audio file you can get some really Not custom, but you can get some price here models that are designed specifically for headphone use They're basically high-end DAX with you know, super Awesome, Japanese, you know high-grit aciders that don't leak after 10 years, and they're like they're like that's a little like if you pack like a bunch of Playing card decks together about that size But they work really well, and yeah, it's just you know, you take it out of an environment where it's really noisy to one where But I think traveling is the digital signal which won't be corrupted anyway, so It's good For some people I mean like for the most part the whole reason of having an internal Separate sound card really doesn't exist anymore other than you know people have a legacy card Because not nothing in Windows is excel like audio isn't accelerated anymore, right? Like you don't get hardware it's accelerated sound Because windows that I mean you use third-party 30 you can use third-party drivers for that, but Windows doesn't support it ever since Vista they drop that to increase just a little bit of Windows by dropping it at the kernel And this ladies and gentlemen is how you wake up Roger You mentioned sound I Used to be super. No, I learned a lot. Thank you I used to have eight for some reason I just collect them because they used to Have to build all the machines on screensavers. It's like hi. I got all these stupid Okay, you know my weird collect my weird collection was routers I like and my franken attest to this I will go to Fries electronics in Illinois every weekend so like stare and look at the newest routers because It was at the time where I think it was like 2008 2009 What HD streaming in the house was still something that was struggling It wasn't sure a thing and I was always trying to be the first person to figure it out I was tweaking and going in and try and and trying yeah So I had like five routers at one time in the house trying to go back and forth. It was weird I mean they still are but they're inexpensive like you could buy routers for less than 50 bucks Yeah, I did again. I was really it's a d-link. I got a I got a couple d-links there like 250 bucks Which is pretty high for the time. Yeah. Yeah, did you ever get into any of that third-party firmware then like open No, I tomato. No, I knew I knew about it. I knew about the links this when I never I never Got into the into the kind of stuff. Yeah, you were you were like, no, I knew some guys who did that and really tore Yeah, and then the pre-in was frustrating because I wanted the official and Yeah, it was just it was a weird time in my life where that was my collect Something I was into. Yeah, you know, what was the weirdest? There was a time when I had What was the I had a six no six I had seven machine computers in my house. I had three pts and four max I had like two I had Like two Mac quadras I had a power Mac and I had like a Mac power Mac clone And I had like five four monitors and that's like, why do I have all this stuff in my house? Because it was just clean because there's a lot of stuff that our IT department at tech TV Just literally like giving away because it's like dude. We need to get rid of it if you want to take it It's like, oh great.  He's literally eating ramen noodles every night to pay rent at the end of the month It's like you finally fall into a bonanza of like computer gear.

I wouldn't yeah would have had any other way, but yeah, it was really tasty Yeah, I love ramen It was funny though when all I knew was top ramen and the first time I saw a ramen store I laughed and feel like no no man. It's really good like it's not it's not what you're thinking I found out about real ramen not from a restaurant, but from watching the cart the anime on Naruto Oh, really?

That's weird looks like Exactly it says shrimp flavor not actual shrimp. Yeah. Well, that was yeah I remember the first time I bought top ramen and I was like wait. There's no shrimp in here I've been fooled. No, they're shrimp. It's just the it's just the dried essence that they grind out Grind shrimp, maybe yeah. No, no, no You're at shrimp chips. Oh, yeah, those are great. It's basically they take the prawns they prawns and they process and they grind Dust it on everything. They're so good crepiation Fast not fast food junk food junk food. Yeah, and it's so bad for you. It's so bad for you All right, ladies and gentlemen, we will be back with Scott Johnson and Peter Wells tomorrow.


My name is Victoria Hughes and I'm Catarina Bogg. We run 21 Plus which is a charity based in Monmouthshire which supports families who have children with Down syndrome. Victoria and I both have children with Down syndrome. We got to know each other and found supporting each other very helpful. So from that we decided to start a small support group which started about ten years ago and it's expanded from there. We provide the families with lots of opportunities to get together, to get to know each other, to form some friendships, for the children to get to know each other, the siblings. Lots of opportunities for support, a chance to share information and educate the families. We run regular speech and language therapy groups for preschool children and we run a summer camp for school aged children where they get to do lots of different sports and they get speech and language therapy sessions there as well. Catarina and I have met lots of families now, we've got lots of experience to draw on and it's nice to know that you're part of a bigger family who are going down the same sort of road that you are. We were really surprised when we found out about our nomination but we feel that it's a wonderful acknowledgement of the work 21 Plus does and it's also a great opportunity to raise the profile of families who have a child with Down syndrome and the work we do for them.


Hi everyone, this is Chichu. Welcome back to my channel and we're in fall 2017 and it's pomegranate season and the season this year has been absolutely magnificent and this has sort of become a yearly ritual for us I guess to sit down and have some pomegranates and this year seriously we've already gone through one bowl of pomegranates and we've got a I got another bowl here that I just tapped out last night let me show you this and there the season this year is absolutely magnificent right like so good and usually in pomegranate season you end up getting you know if you're a supplier of the store you're buying it from they're bringing a lot of pomegranates it's a seasonal thing that they do and I'm a firm believer in eating seasonal fruit and if the store where you get it from usually brings in pomegranates sometimes they have two different batches one of them are the smaller pomegranates they're sort of not perfect and they have the bigger larger pomegranate sort of like perfect that are picture perfect basically you can put in display and stuff right and I've been sampling from both piles and both piles are absolutely fantastic really it's one of the best pomegranate seasons I've seen for a long time right oops it's one of the best pomegranate seasons I've seen for a long time and I thought we sit down and enjoy a little pomegranates and what I've done this year is actually I've added one more ingredient to the way I eat the pomegranates with a spoon as you know you know sometimes I make pomegranate salad dressing that we put up the video for already and it's fantastic it's unfortunate that pomegranates come out in the fall and winter because salads a lot of salads I personally end up eating usually in the summertime right in the spring and summer where you get fresh greens coming out so I do eat make the pomegranate salad dressing every now and then I haven't this year yet and I have basically squished the pomegranates and sucked out the juice had some fresh pomegranate juice as well but the main way I've been eating pomegranates is in a bowl with a spoon and just usually by itself half the time well split between 50 50 half the time with yogurt pomegranates and yogurt half the time just pomegranates by themselves and you know I guess that's a third of time third time with yogurt third time by itself and a third time I mix other things in there today we're going to mix a little bit of things in there we're just going to mix a couple of ingredients one of them is going to be here let me show you I've been adding apples and apples I usually add apples or fall fruit they're fantastic right so this is a small green apple so we're cut up that I'm going to throw in my bowl then it goes fantastic with pomegranates really really good with pomegranates and then we're going to bring the pomegranates big bowl here and I'm just going to fill up well within reason right so like seriously look at those those are delicious pomegranates right mix it in there that's two two big spoonfuls anyway three let's mix this up as you can tell it looks fantastic it's amazing I guess fruit salad but it's just pomegranates and apples they mix it up and the apples that they're green they sort of start taking on the red color of the pomegranates and it's a nice nice combination because the pomegranates the seeds are sharp and the apple is very you know it's nice and fibrous and mixes in with the with the seeds really well right you can tell right the apples are picking up the red tint of the pomegranates and this year one thing I've been doing let me show you this adding some organic cocoa or coca or cacao all right however you choose to pronounce it and it's baking baking cocoa or baking cacao right so it's very it's got a strong flavor you don't need very much I'm not going to add this much let me show you how much I'm going to add I'm going to add just one little teaspoon to the bowl that we have okay and it turns uh and I sort of spread it all around right and then mix it and if I want more I'll add more okay but mix it in and what happens is you know things start turning dark like chocolate all right so you can think about this thing think of this thing as sort of a pomegranate and apple chocolate fruit salad right it loses this beautiful red color but the taste if you want a little bit of a chocolate taste it's fantastic okay so that's what I've sort of been munching on lately for last month or so because pomegranates season started about a month ago a little bit longer ago but they're the pomegranates that first came out they weren't that great so I held off a little bit to binge binge eat pomegranates during the peak season when they're really just beautifully red and flavorful okay so this is our officially our yearly ritual of eating pomegranates okay and I usually try to grab at least one apple with the pomegranate with a spoonful of pomegranates right seriously very good right fantastic it's like an explosion of flavor in the mouth all over and get the juices watch this fresh pomegranate juice right very good


Are you stuck in an ever-ending cycle of people-pleasing, even at the expense of your own well-being? It might be deeper than you think. In this video, we'll explore the signs and effects of fawning, a trauma response that often goes unnoticed. So, what is fawning? Pete Walker, a psychotherapist and PTSD expert, defines fawning as a maladaptive response to create safety in relationships. It involves people-pleasing, marrying others' expectations, needs, and desires, while neglecting one's needs to avoid conflict or harm. But how does fawning come into play? It's one of the four fear responses, fight, flight, freeze, or fawn. And it can be triggered by childhood trauma, domestic violence, bullying, racism, kidnapping, war captivity, cults. However, one can get trapped in fawn mode. If our nervous system gets dysregulated due to early or consistent exposure to trauma. So what are the warning signs that your overly nice behavior might be rooted in fawning? Let's find out. Solitary retreat. Do you frequently isolate yourself, preferring your own company over interacting with others? Well, this can be influenced by trauma. Past trauma can make people withdraw from social interactions.  And there's more to it, too. Additionally, fawners shut down their own emotions to satisfy the emotional needs of others. Ultimately, this constant people-pleasing makes fawners mentally and emotionally exhausted. So, to cope with overwhelming demands, fawners create a protective barrier by mentally disconnecting from people. Harmonious appeasement. Fawners often go to extreme lengths to please others and avoid potential conflicts and are often afraid of saying or doing something that could upset others. This behavior is closely tied to setting high standards and striving for perfection. As fawners worry that any mistake or disagreement could result in losing the people they care about. Apology Reflex. Do you constantly say sorry, even when it's not your fault? You always apologize to keep the peace and prevent potential disagreements. It feels like you've got an automatic sorry button. According to psychotherapist Katie McKenna, excessive apologizing is a common characteristic of fawning behavior. If this video is helping you, please give it a thumbs up and subscribe for more. Helper's Burden. Do you constantly find yourself preoccupied with other people's problems but struggle to accept help for yourself? Is it challenging to let others assist you because you prefer to be the one offering help? Fawning can lead individuals to develop a pattern of self-reliance, making it hard to accept help from others and finding it uncomfortable to be on the receiving end of support. Altruistic Neglect. Fawners often think about everyone's problems except theirs. Likewise, they often feel a strong need to keep others happy and may disregard their own issues in the process. Do you prioritize solving everyone else's problems? Your kindness and selflessness is admirable but it's essential to remember that your needs matter too. Perfectionist Idealism. Fawners often struggle with perfectionism because they fear failure and feel the need to be perfect in everything they do. Sadly, this pursuit of perfection can lead to ongoing stress and unhappiness when they can't meet their unrealistic expectations. Do you always feel bad when you don't satisfy everyone? Remember, you're human. Not a superhero. Suppressed emotional eruptions. Fawners prioritize their loved ones' happiness, making it hard for them to open up during tough times. They fear burdening their loved ones with their issues as a result, emotions build up and can become overwhelming. Eventually, Fawners may have sudden outbursts or find relief by expressing their feelings to strangers or on platforms like social media where the stakes feel lower. So, are you too nice for your own good? If you can relate to these signs, it's possible that fawning, a trauma response, plays a role in your overly nice behavior. But fear not. Change is possible. You hold the power to reclaim your self-worth, learn new behaviors, and unlearn old ones. Being nice doesn't mean sacrificing yourself to please others. It's about finding a middle ground where kindness, self-respect, and self-compassion coexist. If you feel stuck in Fawn mode or are seriously struggling to recover from trauma, know that it's okay to ask a mental health care professional for help. You can be kind and understanding without neglecting your needs. If you're wondering how to start, this video here may help.

a show designed to bring you the best physical therapy tips and exercises to decrease pain and get you back to doing what you love. I'm your host, Christine Linders, board certified orthopedic physical therapy specialist. Today, I challenge you to join me in another 14 day challenge to a better feeling body and a happier you. In the short videos that follow, I'll teach you simple stretches and exercises that you can do every day in a minute or two and enjoy less pain and more physical freedom. As promised from last show, I'll start with the best exercise to alleviate pain in your back. Then we'll go to the shoulder, the elbow and wrist, the neck and your jaw or TMJ, temporal mandibular joint. Let's start with a video to help you learn one thing you've been missing when it comes to alleviating your back pain. And that is to engage your deep core muscles properly. To learn to engage your transverses abdominis correctly and engage your anatomical girdle, I'm gonna show you how to do it in standing first. So you're gonna stand up and I'll visualize that for you.   You don't wanna pull it in from here too because then you stop your diaphragm from breathing. You can hear how it changes the sound of my voice when I do that. You just wanna pull it in from here. Your transverses abdominis. And if you see it from the front, the fibers run this way.  Belly button in, belly button in. So practice that in standing first. That way you can use it, pull your belly button in, bend to pick something up. Pull your belly button in, reach for the car door. Pull your belly button in, put your short on up over your head. Enjoy. For those of you that know me, this is redundant. For those of you that don't, I have suffered two serious back injuries. One when I was in my early 20s playing beach volleyball and the other one was lifting a patient in my mid 30s. I herniated two discs in my low back and I had numbness in my inner thigh down the back of my buttocks all the way down to my foot and my leg became very skinny. That was around 2012 or 13.  So I talk about this very frequently because I see a lot of news alerts on Good Morning America over the years in Shape Magazine, all these news channels talking about back pain and they continue to say there is no specific treatment for low back pain and I continue to write into them with no response to tell them, yes there is. And so I keep talking about this because I want the message to get out to everyone that you can suck it in, you need to engage your deep core because studies have shown those with back pain, their deep core is functioning in a delayed fashion and those without back pain, their deep core is functioning. A second their brain has a thought for motion and before the arm moves to reach for something or before the foot moves to take a step. So I harp on that and I also have finally my book is gonna be coming out that everybody will be able to get. It's a shorter version of what I was trying to launch. That's gonna be coming out soon so I'll explain that in more detail but I want you to really take that on, share the video with your friends. So let's move on to the video about our shoulder. One of the best things you can do for your posture is to strengthen the muscles that support your posture especially if you've been sitting prolonged at your desk or if you have neck pain. Here's what you do.   Squeeze your shoulder blades, lift your chest. Then you do what I call the T.  Pull your thumbs back and squeeze those shoulder blades to enjoy better posture and a pain-free neck. That is one of the best exercises that you can do in minutes for your shoulder. And the reason why is that your shoulder bone sits on your shoulder blade, which sits on your rib cage. And if you have poor posture, that shoulder blade gets pushed forward, the shoulder bone, your humerus gets pushed forward and your rotator cuff now has to reach out and strain and hang on to the ball to keep it on the socket. If you are working on good posture with those eyes, the T's and the W, you're gonna be keeping the quarterback of the shoulder, the shoulder blade in the right spot so that your rotator cuff can just control the ball on the socket with ease. I do those every day. I've had five shoulder surgeries. I'm trying to prevent a six, I grew too fast and I play lots of sports. So I'm always working my rotator cuff and I'm always working my shoulder blade to make sure there's no strain on my rotator cuff. And so far the five surgeries I've had had nothing to do with my rotator cuff. My rotator cuff is healthy. I just was a little bit too flexible. So that's the best exercise to do for your shoulder. Now let's talk a little bit about your elbow and your wrist. Now a lot of people are working from home right now. And so they might not have their best desk setup and you could be getting tennis elbow or golfers elbow. You could be getting carpal tunnel from having to type on the keyboard this way.  You don't wanna type like this or type like this because that puts a lot of strain on your muscles that are attached at your elbow and the carpal tunnel itself.  This is a great thing to do if you have elbow pain, massage the muscles on the outside of your arm. You can grab them and wiggle them side to side, massage the muscles under your arm too, like on the other side right there.  You wanna pull a little bit. Yeah, that's a better position to pull more in the hand than on the fingers to stretch those muscles out. It's great to take breaks while you're typing and do that throughout your day. So when I'm working, I will stretch them like this or I will stand and stretch them on my thigh.  I'll do it on the table too. So it's important to really stretch yourself out because I'm using those muscles to grab patients' limbs or to massage patients to get rid of their pain or hold an arm after surgery to range that shoulder, which brings me to a question I got this morning about rotator cuff. I was asked and I'm often asked with those who have a rotator cuff tear or a rotator cuff injury if they can rehabilitate it without getting surgery or then they need to get surgery. And most surgeons will send people to physical therapy, especially if it's not a complete tear where the tendon has snapped in half because so many people are able to work their other rotator cuff muscles. There's a few of them, there's four of them. And so where one is lacking, others can take up this lack. And also every muscle in our body has one action and at least another secondary action. So we use other muscles in the shoulder to help support the rotator cuff. And a lot of people are able to avoid surgery on their rotator cuff by doing this and we call them copers. And they gain the range, they gain the strength and they're able to get back to their golf game, get back to their tennis game, me, get back to my volleyball game. If that doesn't work, then they go down the surgical route. So I hope that answers your question. And also I had a question about hyper extending your elbow. I play beach volleyball and so do many of my friends. We were doing a training session this morning and three of us had hyper extended our elbows. You go to get that ball and maybe it's, you think it's coming hard and it doesn't. So you kind of reach and your elbow hyper extends and then it hurts for the minute. You're not sure what to do afterward because it doesn't hurt anymore then you go to play again and ouch, it's right there. So same thing that video I showed before, massage out the muscles in the area.  And then you wanna start doing some exercises that work the wrist extension. A weight all the way up, slow down. Weight all the way up, slow down to start stabilizing this joint that you just hyper extended. You can also use kinesio tape.  My brain felt the tape and went, oh yeah, don't let it go that far. So that's another good tip for you if you've hyper extended your elbow. Let's go to the next video to talk about how you can be hurting your neck. I decided to go to Lanakai Beach this morning to show you why you have neck problems. So when you have poor posture, let me show you this side.  So you really need to work on getting your posture up so that you can open up the nerve root. I talk about posture because it's so important for us to maintain our normal spinal curves. The neck has a gentle sloping backwards curve. Your middle back has a gentle sloping forward curve and your low back has a gentle sloping backwards curve. But as soon as you slouch, that curve in your middle back becomes very forward and the curve in your neck and the transition point where they come becomes like this. And so there's too much compression that goes on that.  And that's just because when you look up the canals where the nerves exit your spine and come down to your arms, get narrow. When you look down, they open. So when you're slouching like that, it's essentially like looking up and the space that those nerves have is compromised. And if you sit like that every day for five years for 10 years and you're not doing say a stretch or something like I showed the best exercise, that's undoing the sitting posture, you can get pain down your arm or a disc herniation because it has nowhere else to go. So let's go to the next next video to learn more. So if you notice that you maybe can't turn your head to the left as far as you can turn your head to the right, it could be because you're starting to get some arthritis or overlap or some osteophytes or bone spurs in that and those neck joints, what happens in our 30s, by the way.  In order to gain range of motion so you can turn and view traffic, turn to look right and left equally, you wanna make sure you get your posture upright. Let those joints slide like they were designed to do.  I like to put my hand in the base of my neck and pull up towards the top of my head and over to stretch. Up and over to stretch. Also, now it's a ear-to-shoulder stretch. You can look down at your armpit and stretch that nice muscle in the back.  Bring it over. Now I'm in good posture. I'm not cranking my head forward. I'm pulling up and then over to stretch that I'm gonna look at my armpit. Stretch this nice back muscle here. Then you can do the stabilization exercises after we're done. Enjoy a better feeling neck. That is one of my favorite neck stretches. And the reason why I pull upward towards the top of my head as I go over is because I don't wanna just yank my head over and compress the muscles on this side. I wanna elongate those neck muscles to really stretch. I have also injured my neck. I had a car accident when I was about 20. T-bone from the side, a guy ran a red light. But then I also had a rear end accent in the freeway. And so my neck on an X-ray is kind of shifted forward. And in order to avoid having a neck fusion, because I really wanna play beach volleyball as long as I could possibly do it for. And that would stop me from doing it. I work on elongating my already extremely long neck to decompress and stretch those muscles. Those muscles run in the back from bottom up. And so elongating them is like stretching them. A lot of people that have compression there, if you're just pulling it over to the side, you're not getting the elongation of that muscle. And that's what we want to lengthen that muscle. So now let's look at the next video where I will show you some of the best exercises you can do for your neck. My patients love them. I've used them for the past 20 years. Let's take a look. If you are suffering from neck pain, whether it's the top of your neck or the base of your neck from too much sitting, looking down at a book or a puzzle or too much working from home, there's some great things you can do right now to get rid of your neck pain. One of them is exercise your postural muscles. You wanna take a band and squeeze your shoulder blades and rotate your hands out. Keep your elbows in, lift your chest, lift your chest, lift your chest. You can also do it at shoulder height. Keep your chin down so you have a long neck. Squeeze those shoulder blades. Squeeze those shoulder blades. One of my favorites to get rid of my neck pain, I had a car accident when I was very young, is to take a band and use your thumb and your first finger here to keep the band flat.   You'll feel a stretch in the back of your neck. And then also if you wanna do some chin tucks, I tend to do them sitting in the car where I have the car seat here and I'll tuck my chin down to make my neck long. Chin tuck, chin tuck and also tucking my chin and pushing it into the car seat. Tucking my chin, pushing it in the car seat. If you were gonna lay down and do it, it would look like this.  And then the second one is the tuck and squish. Tuck and squish the table. It's very gentle.    And then breathe and then switch sides.  Hi, those exercises, they take about two minutes, maybe less because I was talking you through them. I have many patients right now who have injured their neck doing projects at home, working from home, yard work because they're not having the right position or their neck is a little bit more up and compressed. So everyone's coming back and that's how I designed these exercises. I do them as well, but I've been asking my patients over the past two months when they come in and say, you know what, that exercise really helped. I ask, because not everybody does everything that I suggest, they pick the favorites, the ones that work the best for them. So I've been asking which ones and those have been the ones that everyone's saying including a foam roll stretch, which not everybody has a foam roll at home. So I put a pec stretch.  So overuse, overuse. That's just the way things are. Our eyes are in front, not in the back of our head, although sometimes we wish they were. So it's important to stretch the pec muscle and one way to do it is on the foam roll. Another way to do it is to stand in the doorway and stretch your chest. So let's go to the next video for the pec stretch. Stretch out these tight pec muscles right here that are holding you down to bad posture, making your shoulder at risk and hurting your neck. You're gonna put your arms like a T in a doorway. Elbows are straight.  Raise your elbows a little bit higher than shoulder height.  Then you're gonna breathe in quick and exhale all the way to the bottom.  Quick exhale all the way out and then another deep breath in and exhale all the way out. What it does is it takes your pec minor and pulls your ribcage up.  So enjoy that. Okay, thank you. So thank you to Noel, my coworker for taking these videos. I usually am doing them on my own. So that was fantastic. So I learned the concept for using the pec minor to pull the ribcage up in a class by Mary Master. I had her on the show in March and April to talk about her genius contribution to physical therapy and to many patients. And I put it into practice in that stretch for myself with the breathing, putting the pecs on stretch and breathing up because it lifts your chest. Instead of just standing in the doorway and stretching or a lot of people are just stretching this way, all this way just to stretch it, use breathing, your pec minor attaches from your ribcage to your shoulder blade. It goes straight through there. And so you need that shoulder blade, remember to have a healthy shoulder and you need to pecs to be open to have a healthy neck. So it's an easy stretch to do. You should feel no pain other than the tightness in your chest when you go and breathe. And Mary Master showed me one that I probably learned in her class but I didn't remember where she said, use it this way, straighten your arm out. No lazy elbows, I remember. That's for you, Mary.  You go, you should try this again. Again, and then one more time, I always do three. And afterward, you not only expand your lungs but you connect to your ribcage which opens up your chest and don't forget to do it on both sides. Okay, so let's talk a little about the TMJ. It's the Temporal Mandibular Joint.  And a lot of people that have headaches or achy jaw or upper neck pain or pain that's going across their head, clicking when you go to open up or bite into a sandwich, grinding at night, those folks will have Temporal Mandibular Joint Problems or TM Joint Problems. And so I have suffered them as well. Sometimes you can sleep on your side in a wrong place and it pushes your jaw and you wake up and you're like, whoa, why do I have a headache? So you massage the muscles first which I'll show you in a minute. But I also wanted to talk a little bit about the joint mechanics before I show you the video.  And then as you get further open, it translate forward. So if you want, you could put your fingers there to feel and open your mouth. Mine translates too quick on this side. I tried to, I corrected it. So to correct that, let's go to the video on the jaw. You are suffering from tension in your jaw or even headaches kind of at the base of your skull. You might be clenching at night or grinding your teeth. Also, if you bite into a sandwich and you feel a pop on one side or the other, your jaw might not be aligned right and a very quick and easy way to help you get your jaw aligned is to place the tongue up in the roof of your mouth, not behind your teeth, but up in the center of your mouth and then open and close your mouth. It's not a lot of pressure. It's a little bit of pressure.  You can do 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 100, 500 times. You could do it at the light while you're sitting in your car. What that helps to do is it helps to restore the role of your TMJ, your temporomendibular joint. When you open up your mouth, it first rolls and then it glides forward. But if you don't get the roll to spin, it glides forward and that's where you get that pop and that pain. So you want to tongue and roof, open and close. Many times also you can massage your masseter muscles, the ones in your cheek here.  You can go forward, back. You can push up and then open your mouth to give it a stretch. You can go in circles, really just try to release those muscles in your jaw when you're chewing and you will feel so much less pain in your jaw. Also, doing a nice mindfulness meditation before you go to sleep can help relieve some stress that's making you clench at night. Enjoy. That's so important for anybody that's suffering from jaw ache, jaw pain, clenching. I worked on someone yesterday for about a minute just like this through her mask and I said, I'm sorry, I'm just digging around this mask area and she goes, no. She goes, whatever you just did, helped so much. She has head pain up here and I have a lot of people coming in with head pain. I've been doing different kinds of techniques to treat it but your jaw and your first cervical vertebrae, that whole area right there is just millimeters away. So it's really important to help yourself feel better to be your best self. So you can enjoy life to the fullest to do these simple tips. So to wrap up, I challenge you for the next 14 days to do something good for your body.  Remember the posture not only helps your neck, it helps your shoulder, it frees you from pain, it helps your back. And I just wanted to show one more thing because I forget to tell many people about this. I published an article two years ago here on the transversus abdominis and why it is so critical learning to activate it to get rid of low back pain. And so it actually explains everything, it explains everything about the epidemic. I illustrate exercises and explain them for how to progress yourself through beginner to more advanced exercises to train your deep core muscles. And you can access that if you Google Christine Linders and the word transversus abdominis, T-R-A-N-S-V-E-R-S-U-S, A-V-D-O-M-I-N-I-S, you will get this article. The link they sent me is extremely long, but it's open access. And the link that they post to share actually is linked up to a different article. So I wanted everyone to be able to access this incredible article where you can learn everything you need about having to access your deep core and then maybe you can tell good morning America about it or shape magazines so they can get the right information out there. So we can get this 80% epidemic down of everyone that's gonna have that back pain. That's my mission, that's what I want. And I want that for you and everyone. So thank you for joining me on thinktechawai.com. Thanks everyone for watching and for tuning in. And remember, life is better when you listen to your physical therapist, aloha.


OK, let's try this one, which is the same problem as that last one, except instead of multiplying, we're adding. So it's going to be different, significant, figurables. So remember when you're doing addition of significant figures, you have to go to the number that has the least amount of significant figures after the decimal point. So in order to do that, you want to effectively find a common multiplier for all of the figures. So this one has 10 to the 6, this one has 10 to the 5, this one has 10 to the 5, so you probably want to change this one to 10 to the 5 as well. So when you do that, what you get is you're going to move your decimal point over to here, and then that's going to be 10 to the 5. So in other words, you're going to have 12.3 times 10 to the 5. So now the easiest way to do this, since they're all of that common 10 to the 5, is you can do how we did them in class, just add them up relative to their decimal point. So when we do that, we get 12.3. Now remember, we want to put the decimal point right underneath this first one, 8.35 and 5.39. So all of these are to the common times 10 to the 5. So we really don't have to worry about that portion of the answer because it's going to be times 10 to the 5 as well. So when we do this, we have to realize that this one only has one behind that decimal. These have two, so the answer is only going to have one behind the decimal. So 12.3 plus 8.35, we're going to get 26.0 and then at 4, which is next, it's going to not be there because we only want to get one decimal. So the 3 in this doesn't really have to do with each having three significant figures. So the answer is three significant figures. Does that make sense? So the answer, effectively, would be 26.0 times 10. Are there any questions on that? Again, remember to get them to the common factor. This one's kind of a messed up problem because of that O, so don't. I hope it doesn't to mess you guys up too.
