DIY Christmas lights upgrade
well it’s that time of the year again time to get christmas lights ready before the snow falls but first I’ll check in on the existing lights from last year they’ve been up there all summer because you know I’m lazy like that and they all still work which is a good sign i have to get up there and re-secure some of them that’s not a big deal but i am going to uh pull them down and make a bit of an upgrade on them just so that they’re a little bit more visible from a distance let’s check in on the control box too it’s also been sitting out here all summer well for like a full 12 months actually not a drop of water inside there excellent no reason to do anything there I’m glad those christmas lights survived their ordeal being outside for a full 12 months plus a little bit through full-on Canadian winter so down to minus 35-ish and up to i think we got over plus 30 celsius in the summer and heat and rain and everything else but i think I’m going to do a little bit of an upgrade on them so I’ve gone up on the ladder and pulled them down off the roof so that i can work on them down here in the workbench rather than up there because that just seems janky and dangerous up there so I’ve got them all down here I’ve got all the clips with them so hopefully they can just go back in the same spot they don’t have to faff around with that up on the ladder because that was kind of awkward last year anyway so the upgrade that i’m going to make on these and i think i mentioned it earlier is i printed off uh well i spent some time learning cad and then printed off these little guys that should just slip right on over there and glow with the light so that you’ve got a traditional bulb shape rather than just a little point of a point of light up on the side of the house so to experiment with this just as i was designing this uh obviously i wasn’t going to go up and down on top of the house but i do have some more of these lights uh and this little board that i got from these guys uh so i want to get this right because i gave the wrong name in the in the previous video where i introduced this thing this thing is officially called the Renard plus esp wi-fi pixel controller um the software that runs on the esp itself is called wi-fi pixel stick so just just wanted to get that straight to make sure that uh if you’re looking for this little board here you can find it it’s an esp8266-01 there’s a standard one right there it’s running uh some software called esp pixel stick and it uh and this board interfaces that with the string of lights uh provide some voltage regulation and whatnot makes it a whole uh simple little uh package so 5 volts in there you could put 12 volts in if you put a regulator the 12 volt regulator on there and then the three wires out to the string and the little esp does the wi-fi and controls everything so i’m just going to use that for testing here right on the bench and as you can see i’ve been experimenting with how to attach these things this is heat shrink tubing designed for going around 18650s so it shrunk down quite a bit there and that seems to be holding mostly this is just black electrical tape but what i’m actually going to be using is this half inch heat shrink tubing that i got from princess auto obviously you get it from any local supplier but this shrinks down two to one it’s 10 feet long not sure why they are labeling it in imperial measurements but whatever and this stuff shrinks at between 725 celsius the 3d printing filament melts at about 200 degrees well 180 or so so i’ve got some range to play in there so i can shrink that down without melting this i’m pretty sure it’ll hold on but i noticed that uh these printed in the light gray pla don’t really oh you see a little bit of a glow in there but not much so i was delayed a little bit until i could get some translucent or transparent natural filament and i think that shows up a lot better i hope anyways then again the black shrink around that base there so i think in the dark outside that’s going to show up pretty well certainly better than that standard gray so after that filament showed up i spent some time printing a whole bunch of them i’ve got 146 of them in there and i think there’s about 138 on my string that goes on the house i hope i counted right so i think if i do about a centimeter worth of heat shrink which is two of those lines um i should be able to get a good shrink down on there sort of uh five millimeters above and below so let’s uh give that a try let’s put that over there and that down over there but like that sure there i think that’ll look pretty good especially in the dark i wonder if people will even be able to tell that it’s not a traditional bulb if i’ve got these on a solid pattern i think that’s gonna work so i’ll just repeat that about 138 times but on the string that came in from outdoors not on this one you may have noticed that i changed methods a couple of times and this seemed to be the smoothest way i was using this uh northwest shoreline chopper for a while but with the groove underneath the blade this soft material kind of moved out of the way this thing’s not really made for that it’s made more for chopping uh model railroad lumber and rigid styrene and stuff like that but it’s really cool for that if you need to make a bunch of repeated cuts just set the stop and go but that wasn’t cutting it for me plugging the pun so i ended up just with this and i have gouged up this little area on my cutting mat here so oh that’s what it’s for and now time consuming thing part two hmm what is the easiest way to do that slide that over there slide that on nice tight fit and slide that up and then shrink 150 130 sometimes so and that is the last one yay so tomorrow i will uh when it’s light outside i will get up on the ladder and put these guys back up in the house and see how they look hmm 23 left and i made 147 of them my brain is fried i can’t even do that math so i’ve got 124 weights in this string okay which also means i’ve got a bunch of these things left over and i’ve got two strings or string and a half of these so i might actually i’ll probably have to print some more of these to finish that but i might actually do that that’ll be about 75 or so um i might put that on the tree in front of the house too you never know anyway i’ll come back to you tomorrow my tomorrow your bike and there we go with it on the house um i should have done this bit of video earlier but uh so be it it’s quite dark and uh yeah it looks pretty good let me just put a different uh pattern on there that’s kind of cool and these are all the same patterns as last uh the last time you saw these i just think it looks better with the larger bulbs on it well that was a fairly time consuming project on my site i’m not sure how exciting it was for you guys but uh maybe there’s uh something interesting in there for you i’m going to put the stl for these bulb covers on i don’t know i guess my google drive and i’ll link that down below um in case anybody has these kind of strings and wants to print something off like that i don’t know how useful that’ll be but uh there you go i may print a bunch more of these and add a add another string to these things and put them up on the tree in front of the house pending of course wife approval because all decorating projects must go through that approval process anyway um hope you found something interesting in here or at least i didn’t waste too much your time comments questions down below as usual i’ll talk to you later .

Distinguished and Named Virtual Ceremony 2020
[MUSIC PLAYING] MITCHELL E. DANIELS JR: I read once about a junior scholar who had to deliver a lecture in front of a very distinguished and esteemed colleague, and afterwards returned to his seat and rather nervously asked the senior professor how he thought the speech had gone, to which the answer was a very tactful. Well, you were concise. To which the young man said, well, I wished not to be tedious.

Lewis Hamilton may renew the contract with Mercedes for another year, Liberty media may be about to sell Formula 1 and Ferrari will discard the year 2021 to focus on 2022, in addition to the fresh news that São Paulo has renewed with formula 1 for five years, let’s talk about all of that now. Hello friend of the hangover F1, welcome to another video I’m Matheus Pucci and lots of news this Thursday pre Turkish Grand Prix that we have here in the hangover F1, so we will bring you here already talking about Lewis Hamilton and his novel of the renovation that at the beginning it would have already renewed with Mercedes according to what is in Auto Racing, the Moto Racing that is known for giving great news there, let’s say a lot sooner than other vehicles so over the years some great ones have already surfaced first in Auto Racing, what is said in Auto Racing is precisely that Hamilton has already met with lawyers, Daimler, Mercedes etc and all the details of the contract are already decided there but they will still be announced and that in this contract there would be a clause that until October of the current year ie in the case of 2021 Hamilton could choose not to renew and leave Formula 1 regardless of position in the results table etc so we are talking about a contract where Hamilton already gives nder who does not want to stay in Formula 1 for a long time, another thing that would be on the contract is the permanence of Toto Wolff, who at the beginning would also remain for another year in the role of mercedes team leader, it is interesting news if this is confirmed for Mercedes soon so we will know that then it’s not so much in order to stay in Formula 1 for a long time just there another year maybe two still Hamilton should remain for 2021 which is where I Matheus would particularly bet all my chips, but we have here is also news on motorsport.

What is a VICTIM MINDSET (What do victims want from others)
whilst diana the princess of wales the victim of her own childhood and her own parents divorce was she made a victim after her marriage to prince charles or was she playing the victim to gain sympathy and support in her war against the royal family in this video i am looking at what victims think and what victims feel so do stay watching because today let’s talk about victims and the victim mindset if you’re new to my channel i’m sue blackhurst and i bring the world of social psychology into everyday language i post videos every monday and every thursday so by subscribing to my channel you’ll get weekly insights into the fascinating world of human behavior and if your life isn’t quite what you’re feeling it should be right now then do download my free book on reframing self-critical thoughts the link is in the description box below it just might open up a whole new set of opportunities for you and talking of new i’ve been quite excited this week because my new logo was finalized just yesterday and i said i’ll give you a shout out so massive thank you to wish studio 308 for being so incredibly patient with the hundreds of revisions it literally went back and forwards for a full day but you nailed it i love it i hope everyone loves it too the death of diana the princess of wales is still making headlines around the world and as new personal details of her life are brought to the surface there is still this ongoing debate on whether diana was the manipulator or the manipulated many say the real diana was headstrong mischievous and too clever for her own good whilst others believed she was this helpless young beauty swept of her feet by the unfaithful and unloving prince but following her divorce diana was painted as the victim as she distanced herself from any blame whatsoever in the collapse of her marriage she was photographed embracing and protecting william and harry images that showed this devoted mother resilient and defiant enough to protect her kids from the world’s invading headlines while still having to face the adversity by herself when prince charles finally sat down to relate his version of events in that game-changing interview with jonathan dimbleby princess diana appeared that same night in the famous black off-the-shoulder cocktail dress renamed the revenge dress she was the wrong woman and wanted the world to be on her side her press coverage pushed charles right to the bottom of all the pages and nothing the royals could do or say would change this public opinion that diana had been thrust into the royal family like a lamb to the slaughter and they needed to pay the price a view that seems to remain to this day the newspaper headlines during her marriage also supported this victim status diana driven to five suicide bids by uncaring charles and marriage collapse led to illness and for those who still need to be convinced that she was the victim of an adulterous husband and loveless marriage the 1995 televised interview with martin bashir was a master class in public image management of a wronged woman with her head bowed ever so slightly downwards enabling diana to cast her eyes down during the interview and then raise them to the audience at that opportune moment cementing her emotional turmoil and drawing every ounce of sympathy from those glued to their television screens even her eye makeup was carefully applied to enhance this victim image prince charles and the royal family have always been held accountable for diana’s unhappiness and untimely death so in order to work out whether dana’s words in the martin bashir interview reflect the mindset of a victim and were a true reflection of how she was really feeling or whether it was an orchestrated performance in revenge for her husband’s adultery we need to look at what it means to be a victim and see how much of it comes from these external influences or are driven by internal beliefs bad things happen in life and it’s perfectly normal to feel sorry for yourself and feel powerless in the face of challenge like a bereavement or a divorce but whatever the reasons you have every right to feel that things were out of control because at the time they were but there are also times when things happen where the mind allocates fault and blame externally leading us to question our own value and what we do and do not deserve having a victim mentality means that you blame your challenges in life on the actions of others around you and behave according to those beliefs you will see your entire life through the negative perspective that things constantly happen to you and beyond your control and therefore it’s something that you should be given sympathy for experiencing as in your mind it is not your fault and you deserve better victim mentality is an acquired personality trait and those with a victim mentality have in most circumstances being the victim of wrongdoing by others or have otherwise suffered misfortune through no fault of their own victim mentalities usually developed during childhood from family members and situations and it’s well known that diana struggled with the divorce of her own parents and the relationship with her mother when someone has the belief that life is happening to them they tend to take this approach of self-preservation when deciding how they are going to behave so they’ll turn to a healer a psychic or a doctor looking to be somehow fixed but without being willing to gain greater self-awareness they fail to address the core issues that are causing the emotional pain and distress in the first place in other words the victim believes that others are responsible for their feelings so they set about seeking to protect themselves from the pain that they are actually causing in extreme cases the victim has experienced so many unscrewed up and emotional experiences in their own life that they believe that they are entitled to or have somehow earned exemption from fault for their own actions no matter how painful they are whilst continuing to complain about every situation and blame everyone else for everything that’s happening it’s almost like they feel that their past experiences give them freedom to act how they want without any consequence this may sound familiar when looking back at the many reports about diana’s mindset but it also rings alarm bells for prince harry because his actions over the past couple of years have been heavily criticized but his behavior and lack of comprehension about the consequences of these actions has victimization all over it diana and harry are both victims of a broken marriage but so was william so the external factors experienced by both boys are the same meaning that harry’s internal beliefs point blame and fault on everyone else’s doorstep other than his own and it’s well documented that princess diana turned to psychics and healers for critical information about her life throughout her later years she became more and more paranoid and felt that she couldn’t trust anyone so sought help from these types of people it wasn’t unusual for diana to make five calls a day to her psychic healers leaving messages when she couldn’t get hold of them straight away so it feels like they provided her with this emotional crutch to lean on leaving her feeling even more vulnerable without their guidance so i do wonder if harry sees megan as his crutch and his healer and is turning to her believing that she’s not only the one person he can trust in the royal family but that she is the one to save him from his own self-fulfilling prophecy at his heart a victim mentality is actually a way to avoid taking any responsibility for yourself or your life because if you believe that you have no power to do anything about it then you don’t have the ability to take any action the victim’s mindset is black and white it’s them against everyone and everything else and by dismissing any belief that they are partly to blame for co- creating any negative consequences they are also dismissing the possibility of or acknowledgement that they could be at fault it did take time but diana gained in tremendous strength from the overwhelming public support and i think she realized that she did have the ability to do something about her life and her public image and i wonder if by doing the interview diana was in fact seeking an apology or at least recognition for the impact of the wrongdoing from the royal family diana agreed to do her one and only interview believing that she was a victim of her marriage and the institution that she married into when in fact she was the victim of the heartless and dishonest lies that martin bashir fed her and her brother el spencer to reel her in one of her closest friends said that she was in the grip of interviewer martin bashir and there was not even a glimpse of the level-headed fun-loving and compassionate person who was my friend one of the interview questions that bashir asked her was do you really believe that a campaign has been waged against you a question that was bound to challenge her trust and confidence in her friends family and palace staff and only now 25 years after she bared her soul i was seeing that bashir was both the inventor and orchestrator of the very campaign that he was asking her about and a man who will only now know what it feels like to have the world turn against you and go from being victor to victim if you’re looking for some support and guidance to all the challenges being thrown at you at the moment then do take a look at my 20-day overcoming obstacles and build mental strength training program the link is in the description box below you can spend as little as much time as you want or
