![]() ![]() While going for royalty-free music is certainly the safest option, it’s not all too appealing. That’s why, under Fair Use, YouTube highlights the fact that they have created an Audio Library -a collection of royalty-free tracks-that everyone can use without fear of violating any rules, guidelines, or regulations. The only one who can authorize you is the original creator, but it would be ludicrous to constantly send emails to authors and ask if you can use their music in your videos-and YouTube knows this. You can’t use other people’s intellectual property and pretend it’s your own-that much is a given.Īt the same time, the rule suggests that you can use music tracks in your videos, as long as you are authorized to do so. The “first rule” doesn’t go much further than what you’d ascertain through common sense. The platform references the “first” rule of copyright, implying there are other rules you need to adhere to, but fails to tell you what they are. The wording of YouTube’s policy is dubious. The logical thing to do would be to take a look at YouTube’s Copyright & Fair Use Policy for answers, right? You might as well take a wild guess, given the fact that the three-sentence “guidelines” YouTube posted offer next-to-no actionable information. That works for making lyrics videos, but YouTube won’t allow you to use copyrighted music in your own content, even with that disclaimer. If you ever glanced at the descriptions of music videos, you’ve noticed that everyone merely says that they don’t own anything and that all the rights belong to a band. The odd thing is that, while YouTube is quick to reprimand people for breaking their guidelines, the platform doesn’t provide clear instructions on what constitutes copyright infringement, and it doesn’t offer plenty of alternatives.įor the most part, people have been figuring out how to wiggle out of YouTube’s strict policies on their own. They are in place to protect viewers and the intellectual property of artists whose music YouTubers often incorporate in their videos. Nobody is trying to undermine the importance of these rules and policies. You’ll often hear content creators complaining about demonetization and copyright issues. If you have a YouTube channel or are spending a lot of time on the platform watching other people’s content, you’ve probably noticed that YouTube is quite stern when it comes to its policies. We’ve put together this detailed guide that will show you how to utilize YouTube’s audio library, as well as avoid copyright infringement, while still adding awesome tunes to your video content.īefore we get to the step-by-step guide, we have to go over YouTube’s music policies, so you can get a better idea of what the platform allows and what it prohibits. You may want to upload a specific song or add your own tunes, which might complicate things slightly. This royalty-free music, although 100% safe to use, is generic and boring. ![]() You can add a bunch of catchy tunes to your videos through YouTube’s video editor. It becomes obvious why most people chose the easy option when it comes to music and opt for royalty-free music YouTube provides by default. This makes it difficult to understand what type of music you can use, where to find it, and how to make a video that includes music or other audio.Īdd to that the conundrum regarding YouTube video size, as well as all the time and effort that goes into writing video descriptions, adding tags, and creating a thumbnail. ![]() You have to worry about all these different things, such as: While most people understand the role music plays in a video, many of them view adding music to a YouTube video as an impassable hurdle. At a bare minimum, content creators utilize sound effects for emphasis and during transitions, but you’ll also find that a good percentage of videos include background music. You’ll be hard-pressed to find a video on YouTube that doesn’t leverage audio to enhance the experience. A crucial element of every great video is the complementary audio that helps bring the scene to life. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a live performance and you’re talking to them. I feel a really strong connection with the audience. Do you like having those audience interactions? I love the way you structure your jokes in that they continuously subvert the audience’s expectations about your identity so the joke just gets funnier and more interesting in a way where you’re revealing something not just about yourself, but the audience as well. Sex is a really beautiful thing and we should be able to talk about it without feeling a sense of guilt or shame. Like to talk about sex in public is so no-no, especially for women it’s so not elegant to talk about sex in public. ![]() Yeah, I think what’s happening is, in Japan, it’s like so oppressed. Why is talking about this topic important for you? I love how you’re just so unapologetic about women advocating for their pleasure. You’re talking to this couple in the audience about the right way to go down on someone. A video of one of your sets recently went viral. I’ve noticed that sex is a big topic in your comedy. He’s like totally outside the box and it sort of changes my perspective on comedy or what comedy can do. Dave Chapelle, I love him because he is like so effortless and casual like he could totally be your friend. And that’s when I said oh maybe I should do comedy.ĭave Chapelle and Wanda Sykes, Bo Burnham. And then, I realized when you do comedy it’s really interactive and you get to create something special with the audience and it made me happy. And when I said the first line, the audience started laughing which, I wasn’t expecting that and I had to wait a little bit to say the next line. One of my actor friends, he wrote a comedy play called How Much Are Those Feelings In The Window? And then I got to play a Japanese wife who was like really not happy in her marriage. And in order to fit the Hollywood standard, I have to change how I talk and I felt so wrong. And then my agent asked me to go to see a dialect coach to get rid of my Japanese accent and I took a few classes and I felt so wrong because this is how I talk and this is what happens when Japanese people try to speak English. I started studying acting around 2015, or wait a little bit before that, and I was kind of struggling because I have a thick Japanese accent so, like whenever I go to auditions I will have to be like a “Japanese Waitress” or like “Japanese Nuclear Scientist” or like the roles that make sense with my Japanese accent and it was like really limited opportunity. What attracted you to comedy? Have you always been a funny person? We had the privilege of speaking with the rising star about her road to comedy, her creative process and how she’s challenging western stereotypes of Asian women. You can see her perform at this year’s Winnipeg Comedy Festival, or YouTube where she frequently uploads new bits. In her new debut album, My Name Is Yumi, Nagashima covers a range of topics, such as racism, international dating preferences and working in entertainment, from her unique viewpoint as a millennial woman from Japan to establishing a performance career in North America. In the video, titled “Japanese Sweet Bite Technique,” Nagashima casually addresses the lackluster sex life of a couple, seated in the front row, mulling over different methods of oral sex for them. A YouTube clip from one of her sets has recently gone viral with over 400,000 views. The Japanese-born Vancouver-based standup’s brand of observational humor and deadpan delivery is delighting audiences nationwide. Yumi Nagashima ( is the kind of comedian who continues to surprise. ![]() ![]() ![]() And in the second week my plants stretched as hell and I had no time to rise the lights, they were 90%.Īlso, there are no nanners at the canopy level. Offgasing has come to my mind, but I have an air purifier with formaldehyde filter in it. There is no light leaks, no temp or humidity fluctuations. Defol before switch, than defol and lollipoping at the end of week 2 flower. I top 2 times, first time above 3rd node, second time above 3rd node too.

When I saw the nanners today, first thing on my mind was to set the grow room on fire. It's extremely frustrating for me because I'm trying really hard to grow some nice buds, I spend 2-4 hours every day taking care of my girls and I don't know if it's me or Barney's genetics to blame for that catastrophe. Well, here I am, 4 month later, growing Wedding cake from Barney's, at the end of week 3 flower and guess what.Ĥ out of 16 plants are hermies! It's my second grow and it's happening again. It has been brought to my mind earlier that Barney's tends to herm. BUT I've found around 1 hundred seeds during trimming.

I've become obsessed with cannabis cultivation, spent every free minute reading forums, watching Dr. I've spent a little over $10k on equipment, including 3.5kw mini-split ac with Wi-Fi, enviro-controller, CO2 setup, 4x MarsHydro TS 3000, Secret Jardin Intense 240 grow box, two dehumidifiers etc etc. ![]() Long story short, I did it with no help because growers in my country have never heard about such thing, so some things are a bit off / useless (tent for example, or CO2 with one 450W led light covering 1.2mx1.2m of canopy). So about 1.5 year back I decided to build myself a sealed grow room. I'm here for your opinions and advices again, humbled by my recent failure. ![]() ![]()

Except that two months later-it happened again. It would be irresponsible for me to use Ronald’s bizarre mishap to claim there is a larger problem in the way our culture hides the dead, refusing to see death as it truly is. By default they assume she is nothing but an old white horse. A quite literal wondrous magical creature stands before them, but it has been too long since a human has seen a unicorn. ![]() It is a dangerous trip across the countryside, but she is able to travel incognito, going unnoticed, because men do not recognize her mythical status. Unwilling to believe this is true, she leaves her forest on a quest to find others like her. Our protagonist, a unicorn, hears a passing hunter’s claim that she is the last of her kind. If you haven’t, don’t let the title fool you, the plot was deceptively dark-as all the best children’s stories are. (This seems like a non sequitur, but stay with me.) One by one the group gazed down at the woman and saw only a cheap Halloween decoration. By the time they brought the body to the dumpster, rigor mortis had taken hold (stiffening her limbs and rendering her mannequin-like). Neither did the other apartment complex employee to whom Roland showed the “mannequin.” They lacked familiarity with the singular traits of a dead body: the cold skin, the blank, absent expressions. The teenage paperboy didn’t know what he was looking at, either. And he was not alone in his misidentification of the woman’s body. Ronald threw away a dead body not out of cruelty or recklessness, but because he had no idea what he was looking at. In the midst of the reactions, one stunning truth was ignored. ![]() Later that morning Ronald received a phone call at home: “You’ve got to get back here right away.” When he arrived back at the complex, his employers told him that earlier that morning, he had thrown away a dead human body. Lifting the lid, they tossed the mannequin in, ending the ghoulish prank before any of the residents woke up. Ronald grabbed the feet, the boy grabbed a clump of the clothes, and together they carried it across the parking lot to a standard issue beige dumpster. In the dawn light it wasn’t the most convincing mannequin. “Before you leave,” Ronald asked the boy, “come help me move this.” Bending down, they saw the rubber face poking out from under a shock of white hair. Two hours later, a woman and her teenage son arrived to deliver the morning papers. Shaking his head, Ronald tossed his cigarette and headed back inside to finish out his shift. Considering this was a complex for elderly residents, a pretty sick prank. Some drunk guy must have thought it would be hilarious to pay a visit to the apartment building to toss out a mannequin, along with some splattered red paint (meant to look like blood). It was the morning of April 2, 2014, and the leftover April Fools’ Day rabble had been spat into the world only an hour earlier. Petersburg, Florida can legally remain open until 3 a.m. Ronald squinted into the dark the outline seemed almost human. ![]() Pulling smoke into his lungs, he caught sight of something sprawled on the front patio. when Ronald, the night clerk at the Peterborough Apartments, decided it was time for a cigarette break. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can also run the command several times for every file format: mogrify -format png. to a wildcard that only matches the image files in your directory.

Be careful not to modify images without a backup! Processing Individual Images Mogrify on the other hand will quite happily change the original file, unless you specify a separate output location. The main difference is that ‘ convert‘ tends to be for working on individual images, whereas ‘ mogrify‘ is for batch processing multiple files.Īnother key distinction is that convert is designed to modify an image and output to a separate file. ![]() It’s worth pointing out that Imagemagick has two main commands for modifying images. There is a very good and comprehensive list of ‘ basic‘ commands, but I find it dwarfs the selection that I actually need, so here are some useful Imagemagick commands that I can never remember how to use. It’s hugely powerful with all kinds of functions and features, and I can never quite remember how to use my favourite commands.

He wakes up, and after failing to commit suicide with his spacesuit's suicide bomb due to it being rendered useless by sea water, he immediately flees, stealing an ambulance she had called for him. In the days leading up to Relena's 15th birthday, she finds Heero Yuy washed up and injured on a beach, who after ditching his Gundam in the ocean following a fight with Zechs upon reentry had fallen unconscious. Realizing Relena was his younger sister and shamed to face her with bloodstained hands, he left without telling her who he was. Relena was targeted by assassins and saved by OZ rookie Zechs Merquise who was in fact her elder brother Milliardo Peacecraft, who had survived the attack and joined OZ under an alias in order to get revenge for the Sanc Kingdom from within. That man, Vice-Minister Darlian, adopted Relena and he and his wife raised her as their own. Relena, only a baby at the time, was saved by a local politician loyal to the family who fled the invasion. However, this leads to the downfall of the kingdom when the United Earth Sphere Alliance invaded Sanc Kingdom, slaughtering the royal family. King Peacecraft was a great admirer of the colonial leader Heero Yuy, who advocated total pacifism as a way to stop the wars between nations. 180, the younger sister to Milliardo Peacecraft. Relena Peacecraft was born to King Peacecraft and Queen Katrina Peacecraft of the Sanc Kingdom on April 7, A.C. Relena also had some form of weapons training (e.g., firearms), as demonstrated in episodes 5 and 11, when she used a pistol against Doctor J's assistants and Lady Une, respectively (and in the latter's case, tried to shoot her out of revenge). She was also noted to be very strong in character, even stronger than the Gundam pilots, which they freely admit is true. As well as when she was able to convince Mariemaia that what she was doing was wrong until Dekim Barton interfered.ĭue to her actions, she holds a huge amount of political influence, a major reason why she was kidnapped in the OVA. For example, when Mariemaia Khushrenada had barely given Relena any hints to as why she was abducted, she was able to figure that Mariemaia and her coup were using Relena for her influence with the people of the Earth. She appears to be able to deduce things very easily. ![]() As a princess and politician, she may not be a soldier, but she has her own personal army for protection and can use them for military operations if needed. She's also a natural speaker, able to convey her thoughts and feelings towards her audience for open dialogue and continued negotiations. Relena was raised by the upper-class, thus she is endowed with the knowledge and culture of high society on socializing and communicating. Their rather unique relationship ultimately leads to them getting married at the end of the photo novel Frozen Teardrop. She is also exceptionally kind as, even after Heero first threatened to kill her when she learned of his secret mission and drastically changed her life, she remained a very close ally and friend of the grief-stricken Gundam pilot. While their personalities conflict, as Heero is a soldier living only to fight while she is a pacifist (or Heero is seemingly without emotions while she becomes quite emotional several times in the series), Heero also appears to become quite close to her over time and vows to protect her even if it means his death. From early on, she appears to fall in love with Heero Yuy as she goes to great lengths just to be near him throughout the events of Gundam Wing. She eventually dedicates her life to the pacifism preached by her family, but admits in the OVA Endless Waltz that peace cannot be gained simply by handing it to the people and that some fighting is necessary. Once a rich, wistful girl, Relena grows more mature throughout the series as she learns the truth about her past and takes an active role in rebuilding the future. 3.5.1 Frozen Teardrop - Preventer 5 Special. ![]() ![]() The film, directed by Sumerian Records founder Ash Avildsen, was released on October 13, 2017.
