TV Shows that Make My Brain Happy

Scooby Doo has been a favorite of mine since I was a child. I watched it at lunch growing up and I still watch it when my brain needs the happy chemicals today. And I would say it doesn't matter what Scooby Doo version I watch but that isn't true.

Scrappy Doo is creepy and the live action movies nailed him as a villain.

Ok, Ok, Ok.... I know.

Feel free to judge me for this one, everyone else does lol but Mountain Monsters makes my brain SO MUCH DAMN SEROTONIN. Its like the Spanish version of the Jim Adler the Texas Hammer commercial. All the tickles so happy. Its a dumb show, a bunch of hillbillies from Appalachia trying to catch Bigfoot in traps nee Wylie Coyote. Its fun.

Have you ever seen someone just "copy paste" something that worked and it just missed the mark? I still like the show, mainly because of the beauty of the Alaskan backdrop but this show was WEIRD and that's coming from me.

This is one of the best live action survival television shows ever. Period. Hard stop. No arguments will be accepted. Masters of survival, Terry Schappert - special forces, Jake Zweig - Navy Seal, John Hudson - RAF SERE instructor, and Matt Graham - "primitive" skills, take turns kidnapping each other and dropping the "victim" in a remote location where they have 100 hours to find civilization. Its a lot of fun and I've introduced this show to everyone I know because they have never heard of it.

This was an awesome show but Netflix dropped the ball. She has her own YouTube and patreon now so go check her out. She does elaborate DIYS and makes creepy and kooky a lifestyle choice. She is motivation incarnate.

These are my streaming happy chemical producers. Honorable mentions also include: The A-Team, Psych, Murder She Wrote, Tremors the Series, River Monsters, and the Addams Family.

What are your favorite TV Shows? I'm also ways mining for dopamine and searching for serotonin.

Aviation Film Seeks To Grow The Pilot Population

Jason Schappert, a flight instructor and founder of the online ground school MzeroA.com, is producing a documentary feature film about pilots who haven’t flown in years taking to the skies again called “Flying Again,” and has turned to crowd funding giant KickStarter to raise funds.

The short period fund raising project started this Monday and has already raised half their initial funding goal of $20,000.

“Flying Again is a film that any aviation enthusiast would enjoy,” said Schappert.

The film crew is seeking funding to pay for the computing power needed to edit the 4k footage, and to pay for gear rentals so they can film with professional cinema cameras and stabilization so they can film from a second aircraft while completing training of the documentary subjects.

Schappert is the author of eight industry best selling books, and is writing a companion book called “Help! I haven’t flown in years!” to help guide rusty pilots back into the sky.

Sponsorship rewards include a three year membership to their online ground school, a $5,200 value for a $750 sponsorship, or a day of flying with Schappert to beautiful Cedar Key, Florida, an island with a 2,000 foot water surrounded runway.

“We want to wow the viewers with beautiful aerial footage, but the film is about realizing dreams,” said John Ellis, the director of the film.

“The emotional core of the film is the pilots, and their stories. Each of them has stopped flying for some reason. Life, money, family can all get in the way. But each of them dreamed of being at the controls every time they saw a plane fly overhead,” Ellis said.

“I totally understand it,” Schappert said. “We’re out to get those rusty pilots back in the cockpit and start growing our pilot population.”

Great free resources for learning and practicing communications skills

While not a genuine stick-and-rudder skill, being good at talking on and – equally important – listening to the radio is a crucial ability to have as a pilot. Whether you are a general aviation pilot flying VFR and announcing your location and intentions at an uncontrolled field or an airline pilot flying IFR and talking to approach control, good communications allow efficient, effective, and safe air traffic. There are many ways to improve your radio procedures, even when not actually in the cockpit. Here are some great free resources to help pilots of all skill levels improve their communications skills.

Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM). Obviously one of the official source documents for pilot communications. During your flight training, you became intimately familiar with this manual. If you have not read it since your formal flight training program, download the most recent edition and check to see what has changed or look at the table of contents and reread some sections that interest you. Great sections to review, specific to communications, are: “Radio Communications Phraseology and Techniques,” “Air Traffic Procedures,” “Two-way Radio Communications Failure,” and the “Pilot/Controller Glossary.” But since communications are inherently linked to everything we do, you’ll see “Phraseology” examples throughout other sections of the AIM that are also key to know and understand. Read it here

LiveATC.net has mobile apps that make it easy to listen in on communications from around the world.

LiveATC.net. This website is a great resource to listen in to a lot of ATC frequencies, from ground, tower, clearance delivery, ATIS, approach, center and even FBO/Unicom. You can listen to a feed from their website or download a mobile app. They have archived sections of “Interesting Recordings” and also filter different frequencies that are in “Potentially Bad Weather,” which would theoretically make the radio communications a little more complex. For student pilots working on their private pilot certificates, this is a great way to get familiar with the new world of aviation communications. For those working on their instrument rating, listening to IFR communications will help add on that extra layer. Just by listening to how pilots and controllers talk on the radio is a great way to learn. Listen here

Some other good ways to train with LiveATC:

Clearance Delivery: Listen to a clearance delivery for a Class B airport. Pretend you are receiving a clearance and copy it down. Practice your shorthand so that it becomes second nature.

Ground: Pull up an airport diagram of an airport you are going to fly into and listen to ground controller instructions on how they route aircraft to and from the runways. For more advanced practice, find a Class B airport and listen to the ground controller (or more likely, one of multiple ground controllers) and be ready to copy a taxi clearance for an airliner that just cleared the runway and is taxiing back to the gate, or is leaving the gate and ready to taxi to the runway for departure. Pretend you are in the cockpit and write down the clearance. Finally, practice repeating back the clearance to the controller.

Tower: If you haven’t flown to a Class B/C/D airport and have not worked with a tower controller, familiarize yourself with proper procedures and protocol. Also, if you are going to go to an unfamiliar airport anytime soon, it might be useful to tune up their tower frequency before you head out there to listen to common traffic patterns in use so that you are somewhat familiar and know what to expect when you show up there in the airplane.

Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF): To brush up on your non-towered controlled fields, listen in to a busy CTAF. Practice building that mental picture of where each aircraft is in the pattern based off of their advisory calls. Practice making your own calls. Be sure to cross check the AIM Table 4−1−1 “Summary of Recommended Communication Procedures.”

Terminal Radar Approach Control (TRACON or approach/departure control): In the IFR world, probably one of the most often used and busiest radio calls is the approach clearance. Pretend you are in the aircraft transitioning from the en route structure to the terminal area. Listen to the approach controller, be ready to copy a clearance, and then rehearse your response. Listen to airline pilots to see what of the original clearance they actually responded with and come up with your own response technique, using at least the minimum read-back items.

Handheld Aviation Scanner or Navigation/Communication radio. Although much of this capability can be replaced with LiveATC.net, if you have a specific VHF frequency that you want to tune up, but is not available on LiveATC.net, a handheld aviation scanner (or your backup handheld Nav/Comm) will do the trick, as long as you are within line of sight range of a transmitter. Find one here

Airline Inflight Entertainment. Certain United Airlines flights allow you to tune into Channel 9 on the inflight entertainment systems to listen in on the specific channel the cockpit is tuned into. You can follow along the Air Traffic Control (ATC) communications from departure to your destination. As an added bonus, follow along with a chart and an approach plate from your Electronic Flight Bag, while ensuring you are following the latest rules and regulations governing electronic devices.

YouTube. Certified Flight Instructor Jason Schappert from MzeroA.com has several good videos and webinars on YouTube discussing various communications topics from: “Uncontrolled Airport Radio Communications,” Class B/C/D communications, and their most-popular “The Secret To VFR Radio Communications Webinar.” Watch here

King Schools. John and Martha King have a free online course on “Non-Towered Airport Communications.” As with all of their paid courses, this one is also high quality. Watch here

A portable radio allows you to listen to local air traffic.

FAA Order JO 7110.65 “Air Traffic Control” order. This is the official FAA publication that “prescribes air traffic control procedures and phraseology for use by personnel providing air traffic control services.” Although it is specifically for air traffic controllers and is pretty advanced reading for pilots, it is nonetheless the official instruction that the FAA prescribes for air traffic controllers. Read it here

FAA Advisory Circular 90-42F “Traffic Advisory Practices at Airports Without Operating Control Towers.” This Advisory Circular “contains good operating practices and procedures for use when approaching or departing airports without an operating control tower and airports that have control towers operating part time.” Although published in 1990, its procedures are still applicable. Read it here

Other FAA Handbooks. Download the latest “Pilot’s Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge,” “Instrument Procedures Handbook,” and “Instrument Procedures Handbook.” Read them here

AOPA Rusty Pilots Seminar. If you have been out of the cockpit for an extended period of time, and want to get back into flying, you can attend one of its Rusty Pilots seminars for free. Among other topics discussed are radio procedures. More info

It is incumbent on all pilots – whether student, sport, private, commercial, or airline transport – to be professional aviators. Using standardized, clear, and concise radio communications is one of those ways to achieve that goal. The only way to get better is to learn and understand the rules and to continue to practice those procedures. With these resources, best of all, you don’t even need to be in the cockpit to practice. Mastering listening and talking on the radio while on the ground will make these skills just as natural as breathing. Then, when you’re actually flying, you will worry less on making the correct call, which will make the actual flying that much more enjoyable.

Google's subsequent trick for Android is 'copyless pasting'

New Post has been published on https://worldupdatereviews.com/googles-subsequent-trick-for-android-is-copyless-pasting/

Google's subsequent trick for Android is 'copyless pasting'

Google’s recognition of context is going beyond talking with Assistant, it’d appear. The hunt juggernaut is operating on a function that “thinks” of what you had been looking at in Chrome and makes it be had in other apps. It is referred to as “Copyless Paste” for now and a glimpse at the code documentation ought to supply a few clues as to the way it works:

So, it is not the same as copying a string of text from a recipe or article after which Android robotically dropping it in an email or a text message, but it still sounds pretty useful. The data won’t leave your phone, both. VentureBeat writes that you could activate the feature if you’re going for walks Chrome Canary on your tool, however, that you may not observe any changes.

What is greater, the code overview suggests that this might not be available on low-quit devices. With I/O developing subsequent month, It is quite likely we’ll hear extra approximately this option quickly, and what it’s going to mean in the context of Android O.

Google’s subsequent Move – Videogame Ads? Seeing that AdWords become launched in 2001, Google has improved to picture Commercials, video Commercials, and print Advertisements, and has frequently been rumored to be getting into radio and television. Even as many think that television Ads (ala Spot Runner) might be Google’s next most important Pass, they’ll be neglecting a potentially larger possibility: in-game Video game marketing.

In advance this yr Massive Integrated, a Video game advertising, and marketing network announced a landmark deal with most important League Baseball and 2K Sports activities to provide dynamic marketing in the famous Online game important League Baseball 2K6. According to their press launch [http://www.Massiveincorporated.Com/site_network/pr/04.05.06.Htm], “Large’s network and technology permit MLB Superior Media and 2K Sports titles to leverage dynamic marketing for ever-fresh logo messaging of their video games, mirroring the swiftly changing and expanding marketing opportunities within the stay motion Sports activities enterprise.”

Why have to Google Care?

The Amusement Software program Association positioned U.S. sales of Online game hardware and Software program at $7.3 billion returned in 2004, a determine that competitors Hollywood box office revenue. In-game Video game marketing is not anything new for the booming recreation industry – big agencies were shopping for static advertisements in video games for years. What’s new is the growth of online gaming into the mainstream. As soon as reserved for most effective Laptop Game enthusiasts, console Gamers have now located a whole new world of competition over a broadband connection.

In the latest interview with TechNewsWorld, EA’s John Schappert, who oversees the biggest interactive sports studio within the international, turned into asked about in-game marketing: “In-game advert integration is a growing commercial enterprise where we see each advertiser and clients looking for more. It’s an extra revenue circulation this is nonetheless small, however developing. There’s the capability for scalability in this place with dynamically-served Advertisements. It is nevertheless inside the early ranges [in terms of] how in sport Advertisements will develop in importance.”

Starting with Microsoft’s Xbox and Sony’s PS2, and persevering with into the following generation of online gaming with Microsoft’s Xbox 360, Nintendo’s Wii, and Sony’s PS3, it has emerged as a digital fact that almost all Game enthusiasts might be playing Even as connected to a broadband connection. With that broadband connection comes an advertising opportunity that’s difficult to disregard.

Is History Repeating Itself?

The ability flaw in what Big Integrated does is that their ad community nonetheless best includes the massive advertisers. Big’s internet site gives no precise facts regarding the way to buy marketing, simplest citing that “blue-chip” advertisers can paintings with their “veteran” sales crew to begin an account. I suppose it’s safe to say that small groups aren’t their target marketplace. So While they’re imposing dynamic Ads, the one’s Ads are still most effective cheap to larger groups. Anyone familiar with internet advertising can see the capacity for History to repeat itself.

Manner lower back in 1996, lengthy earlier than Overture (now Yahoo! Seek Advertising and marketing) and Google AdWords, an employer known as DoubleClick pioneered internet site advertising. Their downfall, however, became that they required a proper sales contract, limiting their capacity customer base to only large agencies. Overture and AdWords made it easy for the small advertiser and small website owner to participate in their advert networks, essentially beginning their career to Everybody on the internet. Several years later, one could assume that Google is maintaining a watchful eye on what’s taking place over at Massive Included. Massive can be the first to go into the market, but it’s tough to ignore the truth that the small enterprise proprietor remains close out. Ought to Google make Big the following DoubleClick?

How could Google Do It

There’s absolute confidence that with the quality programmers inside the world Google is able to develop and improving upon the generation that Huge has. It’s also now not hard to imagine advertisers paying in keeping with thousand impressions (PPM) for his or her text or photo Commercials to be proven in unique video games, just like they do now for particular sites. The hard component for Google, however, would be the distribution of these Ads.

As opposed to signing up websites to display their Ads via copying a few code on to their web page, Google might work with sports programmers for the duration of the improvement process. This would be much more time ingesting and might be a miles large risk for Google. inside the identical Way that Big signed the agreement with 2K, Google might sign massive contracts with recreation developers and paintings with them for Several months to integrate their Ads.

This enforces the fact that the primary distinction among what came about with DoubleClick and what Ought to occur with video games is that it might in all likelihood be more paintings for Google to distribute their Ads over more than one channels (i.E. extra video games). Considering the fact that each game is programmed in another way, there may be no sport equal to the JavaScript used in all AdSense Ads. Each recreation might want to be tailored to Google’s ad network personally. Difficult: sure. Impossible for Google: no Way.
