Why are some athletes able to crush world records when other records remain unbroken for years? The answer has to do with the kind of materials used in the competition and the type of athletic event one is competing in. Hank Green explains in this episode of SciShow. This episode is inspired and brought to you by the upcoming Focus Features film, RACE, which releases nationwide on February 19th.

"How To" video number 18: Pop Shove It aka Shuv It, Shuv, Pop Shuv, Shove It, Pickle Twist This time around I tackle the oft requested, Pop Shove It. This is a super fun trick and also considered one of the basics. If you can get this trick down you are well on your way to understanding the fundamentals of the scoop and keeping your board level. Just remember: It s all about the scoop and keeping your board level. Your backfoot does most of the work and your front foot catches the board, keeping it all wrapped up in a tight little bundle. I hope you have fun learning this one, it s not too bad! If you need any specific help just leave a comment and I ll try my best to explain things more. Thank you for watching! P.S. I am going to make a video explaining my absence and plans for the future soon. I meant to put it up before this but I just got my wisdom teeth out and I can barely talk!

http://bit.ly/BurnFST99S Perfectly weighted for fast swinging intermediate through advanced level players, the Burn FST 99S was designed for speed and spin. At 11.1 ounces this racquet should also work well for classic and stronger ball strikers who want a great platform for customization. Boasting Wilson’s new Fast Speed Technology, this stick comes with a uniquely aerodynamic beam and an extremely ‘whippy’ head light balance. Factor in the grippy Spin Effect string pattern and you have a formidable topspin weapon. The FST 99S also features optional handle inserts to provide optimal leverage on two handed backhands (called X2 Ergo Technology). (Note: The X2 Ergo inserts come installed, optional normal inserts come included with racquet.) From the baseline this racquet’s low swingweight and ultra head light balance give it a light and explosive feel, making it ideal for taking powerful cuts at the ball or flicking winners on the run. The firm Carbon Fiber beam delivers plenty of pop, yet the power remains very controllable, especially compared to the first generation Burns. Thanks to this racquet s easy acceleration and grippy string pattern, spin comes very easily. Advanced players looking for more plow-through and stability will find the stock balance and swingweight very amenable to customization. At net this stick’s maneuverable weight makes it well suited to fast exchanges and reaction volleys. Finally, the high level of control on serves should inspire confidence and keep double faults to a minimum. Offering an impressive combination of spin and precision, the FST 99S is perfect for those who want a light and very speedy player’s racquet.

http://bit.ly/BurnFST99 With the Burn FST 99 Wilson blends the lightning speed and lively feel of a modern player’s racquet with the control of an 18x19 string pattern. Although this racquet is built with a very firm Carbon Fiber beam, the comfort level is quite high. Like other members of the Burn FST family, this model comes with Fast Speed Technology - a feature that combines a uniquely aerodynamic beam with a ‘whippy’ head light balance. With their new X2 Ergo technology, Wilson has created a customizable grip for the modern two handed backhand. This innovative technology consists of removable handle inserts so that players with two handed backhands can enjoy additional leverage. From the baseline this racquet rewards big swings with plenty of power. The dense 18x19 string pattern helps keep the ball on target, a fact that should give some players the needed confidence to swing bigger and play more aggressive tennis. Quick handling at net makes for easy volleying, with plenty of pop available for putting the ball away. Easy targeting on serves should prove dangerous in the right hands. With the Burn FST 99, Wilson has delivered a speedy and comfortable racquet with controllable power. A great option for intermediate and advanced players.

I m back at the bushcraft camp! This time I m focusing on improving my A frame shelter. I m using a tarp to make it more waterproof and I also made it larger to store logs and have more space etc. I finally finished the 4th wall of the camp! Took me ages but it s done now. I only have about two more walls to finish and then I can build the second shelter which I plan to be a lean-to. Oh, I also made a chopping log which you can see in a recent bushcraft video I did separately. I decided to make a small cup table too, from an old log I found. The camp is really starting to come along now. Didn t manage to finish putting the bracken on the shelter, so that will need to happen next time I go there. I will also start thinking about making a fire pit. Thanks for all your input guys! Any more suggestions as to what you think I might need in camp, please comment below.

But as you study the inscriptions in the darkness, two wisps of green smoke burst forth. The walls begin to shake. The giant sandglass begins flowing with less than an hour before it empties, and a rumbling tells you that you don’t want to be around when that happens. Can you use math to escape the temple? Dennis E. Shasha shows how. Lesson by Dennis E. Shasha, animation by Artrake Studio.

He stands somewhere between a boy and a man, a charming crossroad. That s why YU SEUNGWOO s new album [Pit a Pat] contains both the youthfulness of a teenager and the passion of a young man. This album is familiar but not cliche, expressing the different moments of YU SEUNGWOO s young days. YU SEUNGWOO s unique style tells us the cycle of puppy love. The title song "Whatever" featuring Crucial Star is about YU SEUNGWOO s emotional maturing and changing at the point of a break-up. He sings, "Sometimes, we d laugh to tears / Sometimes, we d shout and fight / But they re all nothing, things I can forget". It s about a young man in his twenties learning how to cope with saying goodbye. The song shows YU SEUNGWOO growing a bit more mature from the shy boy he used to be. ▶1theK FB : http://www.facebook.com/1theK ▶1theK TW : https://twitter.com/1theK ▶1theK G+ : https://plus.google.com/+1theK 少年と青年の境界にいる青春は妙な魅力を漂わせる。その意味で、二十歳のユ・スンウのニューアルバム『Pit a Pat』は、10代の若々しさを超え、青年の爽やかさまで盛り込んだ結果物である。このアルバムは、馴染みありながらも陳腐ではない展開で、青春の断片を目の前に繰り広げておく。未熟な恋のサイクルを順次に聴かせてくれるユ・スンウ式の話法である。 タイトル曲「どうだっていい（Feat.Crucial Star）」は、彼の成熟した感情の変化を別れの視点から表現した代表曲。‘たまに涙が出るほど笑ったことも、時には叫びながら二人でケンカしたことも、忘れればいいのに、大したことないのに…’と大胆に対処することができる二十歳の別れの歌。恥かしそうに見つめるだけだった少年の一段と成長した感情でもある。 소년과 청년의 경계에 선 청춘은 묘한 매력을 풍긴다. 그런 의미에서 스무살 유승우의 새 앨범 [Pit a Pat]은 10대의 풋풋함을 지나 청년의 싱그러움까지 고루 담은 결과물이다. 이 앨범은 익숙하면서도 진부하지 않은 전개로 청춘의 단편을 눈앞에 펼쳐놓는다. 설익은 사랑의 싸이클을 순차적으로 들려주는 유승우식의 화법이다. 그 중 타이틀곡 ‘뭐 어때 (Feat. 크루셜스타)’는 그의 성숙한 감정의 변화를 이별의 시점에서 담아낸 대표곡이다. 가끔 눈물 나게 함께 웃던 일도, 때론 소리치며 둘이 싸운 일도 잊으면 되는데 별일 아닌 건데..’라며 제법 대범하게 대처할 줄 아는 스무살의 이별 노래. 수줍게 바라만 보던 소년의 한 뼘 더 자란 감정이기도 하다.

There are wonders of the world and then there are places on planet earth that seem like they deserve an upper echelon category. Machu Picchu is certainly one of those places. The lost city of the Incas, also known as the Old Mountain (Machu Pikchu), is a 15th-century Inca site located 2,430 meters above sea level. Visiting Machu Picchu again for a second time was a reconfirmation of its ability to impress all over again. We toured the site, this time around with a guide, on the first day with rainy conditions in the morning and overcast by the afternoon. On the second day, it was just gorgeous and sunny outside from the moment we arrived. My biggest tip for anyone visiting Machu Picchu is to budget several days to visit the site because of its sheer size and how unpredictable the weather can be.

I m not too sure. It s quite foggy right now. Where could we be? What could be off in the distance? Good question. Should we tell? Yes. It is Machu Picchu. Machu Picchu. That is Machu Picchu guys. Breathtaking is it not? This is a baby llama having breakfast. Breakfast time. Can you give us an update on the current situation? So the current situation is that it has stopped raining. Yes. And it is starting to clear a bit. We re hopeful. Right now it is eight thirty six, and we re hopeful that maybe around ten or eleven, if it doesn t rain again, that we ll have some sunshine. Clear visibility of Machu Picchu. Get those iconic views. Yeah. We know that the Quechua people were able to mummify people. But they used to mummify some important people from their culture. So they used to mummify to the royal family, they used to mummify to some people who were part of the high class people. So then they d take the bodies. The mummies into the cave and they d put them you know in the fetal position because they used to believe that they could enter into a different life after this life. Rocking the new hats. The chuyos. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So the soldiers possibly used this to place the torch. The fire. Okay. But also they could maybe place here a pet which was maybe a llama or this was maybe an alpaca that they would use to sacrifice in one of the temples. So here we re checking out an Inca toilet. Is it an en-suite? I d say so. What are we doing Audrey? Getting our Machu Picchu stamp. So this one is yours. Ready. Ta da. Welcome to my home. This is the living area. It still needs to be furnished. And this over here is going to be a little reading nook and I m put my books there, there and there. Alright, so we found a nice quiet spot here and I want to know your impressions of coming back to Machu Picchu for a second time? Okay, so Sam, you visited Machu Picchu about six years ago, how has does this trip compare to that one? This is like night and day. Six years ago I was the ultimate cheapskate backpacker. I came to Machu Picchu using the cheapest transportation route possible. Basically I took this van on this really twisty serpentine off-road area and then I went across on this cable car using this wooden trolley. It was really dangerous. Okay, so now next question. I know people always see Machu Picchu in documentaries, postcards, magazines. Do you think it is important for people to see it in person? Yeah, absolutely. It s actually one of these wonders of the world that actually lives up to its reputation. And what I really think, what I really get out of coming to Machu Picchu is just a sense of the sheer scale of the place. Like it is massive. When you come here and walk around you get a really good sense of just how big this lost city of the Inca s is. Woo hoo! Go Machu Picchu! This is part of our Travel in Peru series. We re making a series of videos showcasing Peruvian culture, Peruvian arts, Peruvian foods, Peruvian religion, Peruvian cuisine and Peruvian people. All things Peruano. The best of Comida Peruana and Cocina Peruana. Music in this video courtesy of Audio Network
