Xiaomi Mi7 & Mi7 Plus | The Future is Here - Duration: 2:35.
Xiaomi's Mi series flagship phones have always carried low pricing
until 2017.
Last year, the Mi 6 was launched as the first Mi series phone with dual rear cameras setup
with a price tag of 2,499 Yuan or that is roughly 395 US Dollars and its premium ceramic
variant carried an inflated price tag of 2,999 Yuan or that is roughly 475 US Dollars.
Recent rumors have claimed that the Mi 7 would be arriving with an even more expensive price
tag compared to the Mi 6.
Welcome back to Qatnip and come on, let's learn together :D
Fresh information claims that the Xiaomi Mi 7 could be the most expensive Mi series phone
ever as it is pegged to be available with a beginning price of 3,000 Yuan or that is
roughly 475 US Dollars.
The increased pricing could be because of the high-end specs that it will be featuring.
Rumors have it that the Mi 7 would be arriving in two models namely, Mi 7 and Mi 7 Plus.
A 5.65-inch 18:9 aspect ratio display is expected to be available on the Mi 7 whereas the Plus
variant is expected to house a larger screen of 6.01-inchs being an OLED panel from Samsung.
The Mi 7 duo are rumored to arrive with facial recognition feature and AI equipped with dual
rear cameras just like the Honor View 10.
Recent reports have also suggested that the Mi 7 could be the first Mi series phone to
arrive with support for wireless charging as well.
The Mi 7 models are to arrive with Snapdragon 845 mobile platform.
The base model of the Mi 6 arrived with 6 GB of RAM.
There was no 8 GB RAM available.
In that department, it is speculated that Mi7 may actually feature an advanced 8GB RAM model.
Hence, the Mi 7 and its variants are speculated to arrive with 3,000 Yuan or 475 US Dollars
or higher pricing.
Recent leaks have suggested Xiaomi will using the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2018 platform
in the coming month to announce the Mi 7 and Mi 7 Plus.
Even though the Mi 7 will be coming with a heftier price tag, it would still be a value
for money phone because of its specifications at it's price range.
So that's it for now and we hope you liked the video.
A million thanks to our dear subscriber family for your continuous love and support, and support!
And until next time, stay tuned for more :D

Here's How Vitamin C Kills Cancer Cells and Decreases - Duration: 15:08.
Here�s How Vitamin C Kills Cancer Cells and Decreases Inflammation in Cancer Patients
By Dr. Joseph Mercola
Vitamin C is one of the most well-established traditional antioxidants known and its potent
health benefits have been clearly demonstrated over time � especially for the prevention
and treatment of infectious diseases.
Research has also shown that vitamin C is selectively cytotoxic to cancer cells when
administered intravenously (IV) in high doses, and has a number of heart- and cardiovascular
benefits.
From my perspective, vitamin C is a very useful supplement that should be part of most cancer
treatment protocols.
Vitamin D is another crucial anti-cancer component I�ve written about on numerous occasions.
How Vitamin C Kills Cancer Cells In order for vitamin C to effectively kill
cancer cells, you need to have a very high concentration of vitamin C in your blood,
and the only way to obtain these extreme levels is through IV administration, although using
oral liposomal vitamin C can approach effectiveness at a fraction of the price, improved convenience
and cost.
By bypassing the digestive tract, IV administration results in blood levels up to 500 times higher
than what you can achieve through the oral route.
The mechanism behind vitamin C�s ability to selectively target cancer cells has to
do with the generation of hydrogen peroxide, which is ultimately what kills the cancer
cells.
As reported by the University of Iowa:1
�In a new study2,3 � Buettner and his colleagues have homed in on the biological
details of how high-dose vitamin C kills cancer cells.
The study shows that vitamin C breaks down easily, generating hydrogen peroxide, a so-called
reactive oxygen species that can damage tissue and DNA.
The study also shows that tumor cells are much less capable of removing the damaging
hydrogen peroxide than normal cells �
�Thus, cancer cells are much more prone to damage and death from a high amount of
hydrogen peroxide,� says Buettner, a professor of radiation oncology and a member of Holden
Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Iowa.
�This explains how the very, very high levels of vitamin C used in our clinical trials do
not affect normal tissue, but can be damaging to tumor tissue.��
The reason normal tissues are not harmed by the high levels of hydrogen peroxide generated
is that healthy cells have several ways of effectively removing it, thereby preventing
buildup to toxic levels.
One of the primary pathways of removal is the enzyme catalase, and the study found that
cells with reduced catalase activity were indeed more prone to die when exposed to high
amounts of vitamin C.
This provides a hint at which cancers are likely the best candidates for high-dose vitamin
C therapy � tumors with low catalase levels are likely to be the most responsive, whereas
tumors with high catalase levels would be the least responsive.
Next, the research team wants to develop methods to measure catalase in tumors.
Vitamin C Lowers Inflammation in Cancer Patients, and More
Another way vitamin C benefits cancer is by lowering inflammation in your body, as shown
in a 2012 study.4,5,6
As a general rule, chronic inflammation is a hallmark of cancer, and here they found
that IV vitamin C treatment helps lower pro-inflammatory cytokines and C-reactive protein � two inflammatory
markers � and that these improvements correlate with a reduction in tumor size.
It also helps lower the risk of metastasis.
A positive response was noted in 75 percent of patients.
This study was done by scientist at the Riordan Clinic, which is the successor to Linus Pauling
and his work on vitamin C.
There is likely no clinic in the world with as much experience with vitamin C as the Riordan
Clinic.
Riordan carried out a 15-year-long research project called RECNAC (cancer spelled backwards),
which showed vitamin C was selectively cytotoxic against cancer cells.
Other research7,8 done by scientists at the Lewis Cantley of Weill Cornel Medicine in
New York found high doses of vitamin C helps kill and eliminate colorectal cancer cells
with certain genetic mutations.
Other studies9 have shown high-dose vitamin C can help slow the growth of prostate-, pancreatic-,
liver- and colon cancer cells.
Human studies also show IV vitamin C can help improve symptoms associated with cancer and
cancer treatment, such as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, pain and loss of appetite, and improve
overall quality of life.
Vitamin C for Infectious Diseases Vitamin C may be best known for its ability
to combat infectious disease.
Dr. Thomas Levy�s book, �Curing the Incurable,� details these benefits.
A perfect real-world example is the dramatic case of Allan Smith, who contracted a serious
case of swine flu and was brought back from the brink of death using a combination of
IV and oral vitamin C.
The case report was sent to me by Levy, who noted that, to his knowledge, vitamin C �has
never failed to cure an acute viral syndrome.� According to Albert Szent-Gyorgyi (who won
the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his discovery of vitamin C), �health� occurs when there
is an ample flow and interchange of electrons in your cells.
Impaired or poor electron flow and interchange equals �disease,� and when the flow and
interchange ceases entirely, your cells die.
Oxidation, caused by free radicals in your body, involves the loss of electrons.
Antioxidants, both from your diet and endogenously produced, counter the disease process caused
by oxidation (loss of electrons) by supplying electrons.
Vitamin C is a major antioxidant, and according to Levy, perhaps the most important electron
donor to maintain optimal electron flow in your cells.
In 2005, the Orthomolecular Medicine News Service (a non-profit and non-commercial informational
resource), published findings that vitamin C is an effective treatment against the dreaded
bird flu and other viruses.10
As with cancer, extremely high doses are needed though � upwards of 200,000 to 300,000 milligrams
(mg) of vitamin C, given intravenously.
The reason for this is because the avian flu appears to �consume vitamin C very rapidly,
similar to an acute viral hemorrhagic fever, somewhat like an Ebola infection.�
A number of other studies and clinical experiences also attest to vitamin C as a potent treatment
strategy against all sorts of infectious diseases, including influenza,11 encephalitis and measles.12
Vitamin C for Sepsis Vitamin C in combination with thiamine (B1)
and hydrocortisone has also been shown to be dramatically helpful in the treatment of
severe sepsis and septic shock.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition triggered by a systemic infection, caused by bacteria,
viruses or parasites that ultimately affects the function of vital organs.
Hospital-acquired infections that progress to sepsis is a significant cause of death.
As many as half of all in-hospital deaths are related to sepsis,13 and recent research
published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal proposes sepsis should be recognized
as a distinct cause of death in hospitals around the world.14 The cost of treating sepsis
is high, topping $24 billion in 2014, with nearly 25 percent of all hospital charges
attributed to the treatment of sepsis.
As reported by Dr. Malcolm Kendrick, the study in question:15
�� demonstrates that if you give vitamin C (along with hydrocortisone and thiamine)
for just over two days in patients admitted with sepsis (blood poisoning) the mortality
rate falls from 40 percent to 8.5 percent.
The mortality rate in low income countries is normally around 60 percent.
Now, this was a small study, but it seems robust.
It represents an almost five-fold reduction in mortality � �
Vitamin C Is Also Good for Your Heart, Blood Vessels, Lungs and Eyes
Other studies focused on vitamin C shows it helps:
Decrease risk of post-operative atrial fibrillation after heart surgery, thereby reducing the
risk of stroke and heart failure.
It also reduced the length of hospitalization after heart surgery.
Oral administration reduced the length of hospital stay by 7 percent (less than half
a day), whereas IV shortened it by 16 percent (1.5 days)16,17
Reduce high blood pressure � likely by protecting your body�s supply of nitric oxide (NO),
a molecule that relaxes blood vessels.
In one study,18 both the systolic and diastolic (top and bottom) readings were inversely associated
with ascorbic acid levels.
Specifically, women with the highest levels of ascorbic acid had about 4.6 mm Hg lower
systolic and just over 6 mm Hg lower diastolic blood pressure compared to those with the
lowest ascorbic acid levels Reduce your risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD), especially among smokers.
In one study, heavy smokers with the highest vitamin C intake had a 77 percent lower risk
of COPD than those with the lowest intake.19 The mechanism for this effect is thought to
be related to vitamin C�s ability to improve levels of vascular endothelial growth factor,
and boost proliferation of alveolar cells in your lungs
Prevent heart attacks, primarily by reducing inflammation20
Protect your vision by improving the function of your retinal cells, and reduce your risk
for cataracts by fighting oxidative stress Important Contraindication for IV Vitamin
C Treatment While the evidence strongly supports the use
of IV vitamin C in high doses for infections, inflammation and even cancer, it�s important
to get your glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) checked beforehand.
G6PD is an enzyme your red blood cells need to maintain membrane integrity.
High-dose IV vitamin C is actually a strong PRO-oxidant, and giving a pro-oxidant to a
G6PD-deficient individual can cause hemolysis (rupturing) of their red blood cells.
So, administering IV vitamin C is not for the novice!
I strongly recommend getting it done by an experienced practitioner who uses the Riordan
protocol or some other protocol that ensures its done in a safe manner.
Fortunately, G6PC deficiency is relatively uncommon.
People of Mediterranean- and African decent are at greater risk, but it�s rare even
in those groups.
Still, while it�s not a great concern that will prevent its use in most people, should
you happen to be that rare person with a G6PC deficiency, the ramifications of barreling
ahead with high dose IV vitamin C could be disastrous.
General Vitamin C Dosage Suggestions Dr. Ronald Hunninghake � chief medical officer
at the Riordan Clinic who has supervised 60,000 IV administrations of vitamin C � discusses
the use of vitamin C for health and cancer protocols in the featured video.
For cancer, research by the Riordan Clinic suggests you need a vitamin C blood level
of around 300 to 400 mg/dl to achieve selective cytotoxicity against cancer cells.
To reach that post-IV saturation level, you�d need to administer somewhere between 25 to
50 grams of vitamin C intravenously.
That�s up to 300 times the normal amount of vitamin C you�d get from eating a healthy
diet.
It�s important to understand that these extremely high levels are really only indicated
for the treatment of cancers and infectious diseases, not for everyday, general health.
This is because vitamin C starts to have a pro-oxidant effect at these extreme levels
� this is in fact what causes the hydrogen peroxide to be created in the first place.
In other words, the hydrogen peroxide is a pro-oxidant effect of the vitamin C, so it
needs to be used judiciously.
You can learn more about using vitamin C as an adjunct to your cancer protocol on the
Riordan Clinic�s website.21
For everyday health, I believe your best bet is to eat a varied whole food diet, rich in
vitamin C and other antioxidants, to avoid causing a nutritional imbalance.
For example, taking large doses of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) on a regular basis lowers
your copper level, so if you are already deficient in copper and take high doses of vitamin C,
you can compromise your immune system.
So, while temporarily taking mega-doses of vitamin C supplements to combat a case of
the cold or flu is unlikely to cause a problem, for long-term, daily use, you�re probably
going to be better off simply squeezing some lemon juice into a glass of water and/or eating
a vitamin C-rich diet.
Also remember that vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, so when you do take a supplement,
it�s best to divide your daily dose and take it three times a day.
Also, if you�re sensitive to vitamin C, you may experience diarrhea.
This is an indication that you need to lower your dosage.
Lastly, evidence suggests liposomal vitamin C provides better absorption, so it�s my
personal favorite.
I always bring some liposomal vitamin C with me when I travel in case I or someone I travel
with gets sick, and then I use two to four capsules every hour until better.

How to Stay Hydrated: Here's Everything You Need to Know - Duration: 10:18.
Water is a necessary ingredient for human survival
to say nothing of optimal physical and mental performance.
Now if you're watching this, it means that you are alive
which means that you are at least getting the bare minimum.
But are you drinking enough water?
For years we've been told from many many sources
that we are constantly dehydrated
and that if we want our bodies to work optimally,
we need to get our eight glasses a day.
And some people think that eight glasses
actually isn't enough.
They go further saying you need three or four liters.
And others say that the timing is crucial.
You need to spread out your water drinking
over each hour of the day, which come to think of it, oh no!
(suspense music)
(exhales forcefully) Okay, I'm not gonna die now.
But all jokes aside, do you really need
to be drinking eight glasses of water a day?
Or to ask the more general question
that you probably have in the back of your mind,
how do you really know if you're hydrated
and how do you make sure
that you stay hydrated on a daily basis?
Well, after far more time than I initially expected
to spend researching for this video,
I hope to answer those questions for you today.
Here is everything that you need to know about hydration.
Let's start with the common assertion
that you need to be drinking eight glasses of water per day.
This idea has been out in the wild for decades
with many believing the original source to be a 1945 notice
put out by the Food and Nutrition Board
which recommended that people get about
two and a half liters of water per day.
From there, the idea spread and entered
the general consciousness, becoming the mantra
of many a nutritional food blogger and gym teacher.
Unfortunately, what seems to have been left out
is the very next sentence in that recommendation.
Most of this quantity is contained in prepared foods.
This puts quite the damper on the idea
that you need to be gulping down
two and a half liters of water every single day.
And more importantly, no scientific evidence has come out
in defense of that idea in the intervening decades.
In 2002, an extensive research review published
in the American Journal of Physiology concluded as much.
And interestingly, it also noted that,
"This conclusion is supported by published studies
"showing that caffeinated drinks, and, to a lesser extent,
"alcoholic beverages like beer in moderation,
"may indeed be counted toward the daily total."
As that notice from 1945 points out,
solid food counts toward the total as well,
though the Mayo Clinic states that it's around
20% of the total rather than being most of it.
And of course, that amount's gonna vary based on your diet.
If you eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits,
which at the end of the day are mostly water,
then that total's gonna be a little bit higher.
But if you're like me and your breakfast consists
of a bowl of nails and 6,000 push-ups,
then you're probably gonna be leaning
a little bit heavier on the beverages.
So if you don't need eight glasses of water a day,
how much do you need?
Well, as you might expect, the answer is it depends.
Your body's individual hydration needs vary
based on different factors like age, weight, gender,
environmental factors like altitude, temperature,
your proximity to certain Dragonball Z villains,
and of course, your level of physical activity.
Luckily, your conscious brain doesn't have to worry about
meticulously tracking any of these factors because,
as it turns out, your body already has built-in mechanisms
for maintaining an optimal fluid balance automatically.
For instance, when your body detects
that it's a little bit low on fluids,
it releases an antidiuretic hormone called vasopressin
which increases water absorption in the kidneys
and returns it back to the bloodstream
to restore that balance.
When that isn't enough, you body brings the issue
to your attention by making you thirsty
to which you're almost certainly going to respond
by drinking something if you can.
There's no meticulous timing or spreadsheets or measurements
or rolling 20-sided die needed and this makes sense.
Until very recently, the human body,
and almost all land-dwelling animals for that matter,
have had to evolve and adapt in an environment
where there was no guarantee to regular access to water
so systems for maintaining a good fluid balance,
even in the dry times, were a necessity.
So to put things simply, yes, you need water to survive
and you need even more to perform at your peak
but your body will tell you how much and when to drink it.
So follow the thirst rule.
When your body tells you you're thirsty,
go and drink something to quench that thirst, very simple.
Now if you really want to double check your hydration,
one easy way to do it is by
checking the color of your urine.
If it's light yellow, then that means
you're hydrated, you're good to go.
Solid yellow or dark yellow means you're dehydrated,
you should probably drink some water.
And blue means you're an escaped government experiment.
Now at least in terms of hydration, the one other thing
you need to survive is a healthy balance of electrolytes.
What are electrolytes?
- It's what they use to make Brawndo!
- In general terms, an electrolyte is any substance
that conducts electricity when mixed with water.
But within the human body, electrolytes
are essentially rocks or minerals.
They do everything from regulating the function
of your nerves and muscles to balancing your blood pressure.
They're also essential for hydrating the body.
Without them, water would have no way
to get into your bloodstream and cells.
It would just pass through you like you were a tube slide.
A really dead tube slide.
Some of the most important electrolytes in your body
include sodium, potassium, calcium, adamantium, magnesium,
and guess what, that's right,
you don't have to meticulously track these either.
As long as you're eating enough
and you follow a relatively balanced diet
that consists of more than just chicken tenders
and Tinder rejections then you get
all the electrolytes you need from your normal meals.
And this means that even if you exercise regularly,
even if you're hitting the gym,
even if you're going for runs or fighting bears,
you have no need for the supposed
electrolyte benefits of sports drinks.
Sure, maybe chugging a quart of Brawndo before a workout
will make you feel more energetic
but that's mostly due to the buttload of sugar that's in it.
And I will remind you that buttload is a technical term.
Okay, so now it's time to talk about the exceptions
because there are always exceptions.
So here's the thing.
For 99% of the people watching this video, the vast majority
of my audience, the thirst rule is all you need to follow.
And honestly, I probably don't even need to talk about
the 0.1%, it's probably gonna kill my YouTube watch time
but I want to be thorough, so who falls into that 0.1%?
First and most importantly, people with certain types
of illnesses are susceptible to dehydration.
For a particularly disgusting example, if you have diarrhea,
you could start losing a lot of fluid really really fast.
And other illnesses can cause rapid dehydration as well
which is why hospitals carry oral rehydration solutions
that are specifically formulated
to rehydrate you as quickly as possible.
So if you're sick and you are,
for lack of a better term, expelling a lot of fluids,
then listen to your doctor when it comes to hydration.
Don't listen to me because while I am from the internet
and I have heard that means I cannot tell any lies,
I'm not a doctor.
The other exception is a very specific group of athletes.
Now as the author Mark Sisson points out in his book,
"The Primal Blueprint", many athletes who train intensely
on a regular basis can often come into training sessions
slightly dehydrated and because they're working so hard,
they're thirst response can't really keep up
and that can lead to decreased performance.
That being said, most athletes tend to drink
a lot of water while they're training.
It's just something that's been
kind of drilled into our heads.
So that isn't really the risk here.
For a specific group of athletes, for marathoners,
for endurance athletes, triathletes, cyclists, people
who are out training for a really long period of time,
the risk is actually hyponatremia, or water intoxication,
which is a dangerous dilution
of the sodium concentration in your bloodstream.
This is a potentially deadly condition
that's caused by overhydration by drinking too much water
which is something that a lot endurance athletes
if they're out running for a long time
or out on the bike for a long time can do unconsciously.
In fact, an observation of the participants
in the 2002 Boston Marathon found that 13% of the runners
tested after the race had hyponatremia.
Now I'm not gonna go too far into this because, like I said,
99% of you are not gonna be at risk for this
and it's really only a factor if you're out training
for a really long period of time.
But if you do want to learn more about this problem,
Tim Noakes' book "Waterlogged" has lots more information
about it and I'm assured many charts and graphs
and data to sink your teeth into.
Alright, so we have all of our science bases covered
and with that, I want to move onto one little
anecdotal problem that I have observed in my own life,
which I'm gonna call flow state dehydration.
So we talked about the thirst rule but here's the thing.
I'm the kind of guy who gets really into the work
that I'm doing, like laser focused, in the zone,
in the flow state and when I'm researching for a video
or I'm editing something, I can work for hours and hours
without eating or drinking sometimes.
Now on occasion, I have noticed that this has resulted
in mild dehydration and I try to fix that.
But more often, when I actually come out of that flow state
and I realize that I'm thirsty, I'll typically want to reach
for something a little more novel and interesting
than plain old water, like coffee or orange juice.
Now as I mentioned in my previous video
about coffee and dehydration,
I don't think there's a problem
with having a single daily cup of coffee
or having a morning glass of orange juice.
But it becomes a problem when I get ultra-focused
on my work, I let my discipline slip
and then I go and drink three lattes
instead of switching to water after the first one.
As a result, I've got a single simple goal
for myself every single day.
I've got this 27-inch stainless steel
water bottle and once per day,
I need to drink this thing in its entirety.
That plus all the coffee and tea and orange juice I drink
keeps me well-hydrated and ensures
that a lot of that hydration is coming from water.
And on a related note, I always make sure
the backpacks I buy have a water bottle holder on the side
otherwise I don't really have a good way
of bringing my water bottle with me when I go work somewhere
and that, again, leads to more
lattes purchased than necessary.
So those couple of little hacks work perfectly for me
but if you do happen to want to track your water intake
for some reason, yes,
there are water tracking apps out there
but a lot of them adhere to that
eight glasses per day standard
which we've kind of refuted in this video
so I don't really feel the need to link to these.
And what I think would be more useful anyway
is to use a more general purpose habit tracker
like Habitica which is my favorite or maybe Momentum
each of which would allow you
to also track other goals in your life.
But to wrap this up, optimal good hydration
can be had by following three simple rules.
Number one, the thirst rule.
When you're thirsty, drink something hydrating.
Number two, make sure you're eating a balanced diet
with plenty of vegetable and fruits
and high quality protein sources
to ensure your body gets all the electrolytes it needs
and you don't turn into that really dead tube slide.
And finally, number three, be vigilant about noticing
when you're starting to replace your water consumption
with a lot of less healthy drinks and when that happens,
take action to change your habits.
That's it, seriously.
Now I will let you be the judge
about how smooth this final product came out
but I will tell you the research that went into this video
is far more complicated than I had initially anticipated
and there are a lot of sources to this.
So if you're curious to learn more or you want to check out
the sources that I used to make this video,
I highly recommend checking out the companion article

What Happened to Pontiac? | Wheelhouse - Duration: 8:43.
- One of my favorite movies ever
is Smokey and The Bandit,
starring Burt Reynolds, his mustache,
and the 1977 Pontiac Trans Am.
For decades, the film has been responsible
for putting the Trans Am somewhere
on everybody's dream car list.
It's fast, it's sleek,
and it's got a badass fire chicken on the hood.
Badass fire chicken on the hood.
The pairing of box office success
and a great car cemented Pontiac's place
as an automotive icon in pop culture.
Pontiac's not around anymore,
and that really sucks.
Why'd we lose one of America's most legendary auto brands?
What happened to Pontiac?
I'm Nolan Sykes, and this is Wheelhouse.
(hip hop music)
Pontiac was around for a long, long time,
opening their doors in 1926.
General Motors introduced Pontiac
to fill the gap between Chevy
and the more expensive Oakland brand.
Imagine GM as an apartment building.
Chevy's in the entryway, and Cadillac's in the penthouse,
with Oakland, Oldsmobile, and Buick
filling in the floors in between.
GM formed Pontiac and three other brands,
Viking, Marquette, and LaSalle,
to build more floors.
GM believed that filling these gaps
would help brand loyalty,
and inspire customers to buy their way up the stairs,
eventually making it to the penthouse.
But Pontiac was the only one
of the companion brands to survive,
and did so by outselling Oakland
by such a wide margin that Oakland
was merged into Pontiac.
Pontiac kept building their affordable
and reliable cars through the 1950s
when sales started to decline.
The brand was gaining a reputation
as a car for old people, and like cable TV today,
young people just weren't into it, man.
I'm Nolan Sykes, and I'm 63 years old.
(people laugh)
So Pontiac boss Bunkie Knudsen decided
to get Pontiac involved with several racing series
like NASCAR and the NHRA
with legends like Mickey Thompson
and Smokey Yunick driving his cars.
It was a good first step,
but Pontiac really got into factory performance in 1963,
when Pontiac designers led by John DeLorean,
yeah, that John DeLorean,
decided to soup up the Tempest Coupe.
This Grand Tempest Option, or GTO,
was a watershed moment for the brand.
It was a mid-sized car with a big engine
from a full-sized car, and the result was fast.
This formula of combining a small car and a big engine
would help set off one of
the most important movements ever in Detroit,
the muscle car era.
(dramatic music)
But the GTO wasn't Pontiac's only muscle car.
They released the Firebird in 1967,
and with the GTO and Firebird killing it
with looks and performance, Pontiac was cool.
More importantly, it was making money.
Trouble started in the mid '70s.
People didn't want a muscle car anymore.
They couldn't afford the gas.
Pontiac started to develop a car
that was economical while still being fun.
Originally pitched as a fuel-efficient,
two-seat commuter, the Fiero promised to do just that,
and it did.
People loved the Fiero, and high sells helped
reignite Pontiac's reputation for affordable performance.
Throughout the '80s and '90s, things were good.
The "Wider is better" slogan was revived from the '60s
to help promote the new Grand Prix's wide track technology,
which didn't really mean anything,
but it sounded really cool.
The excitement around the Firebird and the Fiero
had successfully trickled down
to Pontiac's more practical models,
but despite Pontiac's successful turnaround
from the '70s to the 1990s,
the turn of the 21st century marked
the beginning of serious problems for the brand.
Sales were slumping hard,
and Pontiac had to reinvent itself once again,
this time with a cutting-edge SUV
featuring new-age styling and some unconventional features.
The seats were water-resistant.
The tailgate had cupholders.
There's even a camping lifestyle option
that included a two-person air mattress.
It also had a cool name, Aztek.
It was a good car.
Critics praised the Aztek for
its comfortable ride and practicality.
But unfortunately for Pontiac,
the Aztek was plagued with airbag recalls
almost immediately after release.
Despite the Aztek's great safety ratings,
the recalls really tainted the car's reputation.
Also, it was kinda ugly,
Pontiac needed to sell 30,000 Azteks to break even,
but they only sold 27,000.
Not a great start to the reinvention.
The great Pontiac refresh of the early 2000s
continued when Pontiac brought back the GTO in 2004,
this time as a rebadged Holden Monaro from Australia.
It was a handsome car with good performance,
but the GTO didn't quite scratch the retro itch
like Ford's new old Mustang.
Everyone was like, "Yeah, it's a cool car,
"but Ford's new Mustang looks like a Mustang.
"I'll just get one of those.
"This GTO doesn't."
As a result, the GTO was canceled
after only three years of production.
Pontiac then introduced the Solstice in 2006,
the brand's first two-seater since the Fiero.
Like the GTO, the Solstice was an attempt
to spice up Pontiac's otherwise stale lineup,
and like the GTO, it was a good car.
Car and Driver called it a surprisingly pure roadster
from an unlikely source, a quote that summed up
what people thought of Pontiac at the time,
like being voted least likely to make an exciting car
in your senior yearbook.
The Solstice's only crime was
being released at the wrong time.
Unfortunately, the Solstice wasn't
the only Pontiac killed by the economy.
Pontiac had brought another Holden to American shores,
the legendary Commodore.
Pontiac called it the G8.
It was a four-door sedan with a V8 engine,
and it looked awesome.
The G8 was so good that auto journalists
were calling it the American M3.
That's high praise.
It was definitely a high point for Pontiac,
but 2008 came, and with it, a global economic crisis.
- At one point, the market fell as if down a well.
- Down over 16%.
- Dow, at the same time, has fallen about 18%.
Everyone agrees the clock is ticking for Detroit,
and the casualties are already mounting.
- Consumers didn't have any money
to spend on a new car, let alone something sporty
like the G8 or Solstice.
Obviously, Pontiac wasn't the only brand
affected by the crisis.
General Motors as a whole had been
hemorrhaging money for years
For the 2007 fiscal year, GM had reported
a loss of 38.7 billion dollars,
So in order to survive, Detroit asked
the government for a bailout.
GM received 30 billion from Uncle Sam,
but on one condition.
They had to slim down.
Saturn, Hummer, and Pontiac all closed their doors,
and Saab was sold to Dutch automaker Spyker.
This decision wasn't easy for GM,
but the reality was that Pontiac's attempts
to rebuild the excitement just weren't successful.
Despite consensus that the GTO, Solstice, and G8
were all great cars, they just didn't sell well enough
to be saved by GM.
In January of 2010, the last Pontiac
rolled off the assembly line.
There was no ceremony to mark the occasion,
and no journalists were invited.
The final Pontiac was a white G6 sedan,
built to fill a fleet order.
It was a meek representation of a brand
with a long history of pushing the boundaries.
They helped invent the muscle car.
They were one of the only American companies
to mass-produce something mid-engined.
The Aztec, yeah, it was ugly,
but it was ahead of its time.
It was one of the first crossover SUVs,
which are huge nowadays.
But in the end, Pontiac was a mismanaged shadow
of its former self that only returned
to its performance roots when it was too late.

BREAKING NEWS About Hillary Clinton… SHE ACTUALLY DID IT AND HERE'S THE PROOF!!!- BreakingNews24 - Duration: 22:06.
BREAKING NEWS About Hillary Clinton…
SHE ACTUALLY DID IT AND HERE'S THE PROOF!!!
Liberal feminist icon and failed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton protected one of
her senior advisers during her 2008 presidential campaign after he was accused of repeatedly
sexually harassing a young staffer, according to a bombshell new report in The New York
Times.
The report, supposedly sourced by four different people familiar with the matter, details the
allegations against Clinton faith adviser Burns Strider and the shocking fact that after
his young subordinate came forward, Clinton herself apparently stepped in to keep him
on her campaign while moving his alleged victim elsewhere.
The Times wrote:
Mrs. Clinton's campaign manager at the time recommended that she fire the adviser, Burns
Strider.
But Mrs. Clinton did not.
Instead, Mr. Strider was docked several weeks of pay and ordered to undergo counseling,
and the young woman was moved to a new job.
Mr. Strider, who was Mrs. Clinton's faith adviser, a co-founder of the American Values
Network, and sent the candidate scripture readings every morning for months during the
campaign, was hired five years later to lead an independent group that supported Mrs. Clinton's
2016 candidacy, Correct the Record, which was created by a close Clinton ally, David
Brock.
He was fired after several months for workplace issues, including allegations that he harassed
a young female aide, according to three people close to Correct the Record's management.
Mr. Strider did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Those familiar with the accounts said that, over the years, a number of advisers urged
Mrs. Clinton to sever ties with Mr. Strider, and people familiar with what took place did
not want to see Mrs. Clinton blamed for the misconduct of men she was close to.
The allegations that Clinton specifically helped cover up sexual harassment while remaining
close friends with the alleged attacker come at a time when women across industries throughout
the country are coming forward with their stories of abuse and, in many cases, coverup
afterwards.
The woman's experience and the reaction to it have not been previously reported.
Until now, former Clinton associates were unwilling to discuss the events for publication.
But that changed in the wake of the #MeToo movement, in which dozens of men across the
country and across different industries, have been fired or suspended for sexual misconduct.
The complaint against Mr. Strider was made by a 30-year-old woman who shared an office
with him.
She told a campaign official that Mr. Strider had rubbed her shoulders inappropriately,
kissed her on the forehead and sent her a string of suggestive emails, including at
least one during the night, according to three former campaign officials familiar with what
took place.
The complaint was taken to Ms. Doyle, the campaign manager, who approached Mrs. Clinton
and urged that Mr. Strider, who was married at the time, be fired, according to the officials
familiar with what took place.
Mrs. Clinton said she did not want to, and instead he remained on her staff.
So not only did Clinton herself protect Strider, her own staff, who were completely aware of
his conduct, refused to even speak about it for almost 10 years in order to protect Hillary
and her political ambitions.
This is the Clinton machine at its finest folks and once again destroys the false media
narrative surrounding who Hillary Clinton the person actually is.
One can imagine that Clinton operatives within the media will soon begin to downplay this
shocking report while somehow blaming Donald Trump.
Mark it down.
This will happen.

Here's Why Fred Durst Basically Disappeared - Duration: 4:17.
Around the turn of the millennium, Fred Durst was a face music fans couldn't avoid.
As the lead singer of Limp Bizkit, his lashing lyrics were everywhere.
But these days, it's rare to even hear Durst's name anywhere.
So what happened to the rap-rock singer?
Let's take a look at what became of Fred Durst after the fame and celebrity feuding started
to fade.
"Alright."
15 minutes up
Limp Bizkit's mainstream success was undeniable by the late '90s, and that created an unexpected
problem for the band.
Durst initially created the band to fight back against the bullies he'd encountered
in his youth, but, quote:
"The sound was so ferocious that bullies themselves would embrace Limp Bizkit."
As a result, he started to sour on a sizable portion of his own fan base who, like his
own tormentors, appeared to be a bunch of tough guys.
But that was hardly the cause of Limp Bizkit's decline.
After their hit singles raised the band's profile to international levels, their own
priorities began to clash with their record label's.
Durst explained:
"The label milked us to death and we all started living success in our own ways.
Wes [Borland] realized that he was an eclectic artist — Limp Bizkit got too huge and he's
always been more indie.
He left and we sort of looked at each other wondering what happened."
The band eventually parted ways with Interscope Records in 2011, following grim sales figures
for their album, Gold Cobra.
And Durst said they were ultimately relieved by the change.
"We just want to go play a concert and crush it and turn it into a big-a-- party.
The record thing sort of kind of always got in our way … this way, we can still go tour."
But there are still some limits to their public presence.
Lower key
Following their label drop, Limp Bizkit has continued to tour the world … just very
selectively.
"It's more like we do it because we had some time off and we think it'd be fun to go rock
and play."
In 2017, they popped up everywhere from Indiana to Kazakhstan, and in 2018, they'll be performing
in Australia and Germany, among other locales.
According to Durst, they've got a very relaxed approach to touring nowadays.
"We have no idea what's gonna happen on stage because every night is different, we make
the set list about five or ten minutes before we go on."
The band has also been intentionally mysterious about their long-awaited new album, Stampede
of the Disco Elephants.
Durst was rumored to have hidden the album online somewhere in 2016, but no one has found
it yet.
But he's since stated that they are still very much working to complete their long-awaited
new album.
Meanwhile, their scattered schedule is also part of his own personal plan to keep a varied
creative profile.
New pursuits
In addition to continuing his work in the music industry, Fred Durst has also become
an ambitious auteur.
Along with appearing on-screen in a few acting roles, Durst has put his history of directing
Limp Bizkit's music videos to use by stepping behind the camera of a few feature films.
Durst directed back-to-back films The Education of Charlie Banks and The Longshots, in addition
to several short films, and he said this new work makes him even more selective about accepting
other projects, explaining:
"My film directing is about to be in a very wonderful place.
I've been working on it for a long time, making sure that I'm in the 'no' business.
I say 'no' a lot."
In 2015, Durst attempted to move to Crimea, with his new wife, who was native to the region,
in order to shoot film and TV projects.
However, the Ukrainian government reportedly denied Durst's request, citing national security
interests, and even banned the artist from entering the country for five years.
So, we can probably expect that Limp Bizkit won't be touring that area any time soon.
But that setback hasn't stopped Durst from toeing new creative waters.
New jams
Though jazz is probably the last thing anyone would expect Fred Durst to be connected to,
the musician is apparently a lifelong fan of the genre.
So much so that he's made showcasing new talent in the jazz world something of a passion project.
He was reportedly inspired by 2016's La La Land to launch his own show series, and the
unlikeliness of his latest endeavor is not lost on Durst.
He said of the project:
"I felt like a target, you know.
Like someone's gonna see this and think, 'Oh, Fred Durst's doing a jazz night?
What's this, lounge versions of 'Nookie'?'
I just don't know how people perceive it."
But that fear hasn't stopped him from continuing to stage and host shows at the Black Rabbit
Rose, a Los Angeles club and lounge.
In fact, Durst is so into the project, he's been digging into his own pockets to keep
it going.
He explained:
"It's not a money play.
I have to pay my players.
You know, jazz musicians rarely make any money around here.
It's very interesting to find that out.
They're doing it for the passion and very, very, very small amounts of money."
So, while you may be hard-pressed to catch one of Limp Bizkit's limited stage runs across
the globe, Fred Durst is still very much involved in the entertainment business in some surprising
new ways.

Why you won't be seeing a remastered Kirsten Price interview here (for now) - Duration: 3:22.
Hi folks, Steven here. So, I'm going to do something a little bit unusual here and
talk about something that's not appearing on my channel. So, as you may
know, coming up on the channel the within the next- oh I'd say week or two-I'm going to be
posting parts of the Darkrai movie discussion-you know, the end themes
there-English and Japanese, and I figured now would be a great time to do
a remaster of the old Kirsten Price interview. Remember, she sang "I'll
Always Remember You" for that movie. This was recorded back in 2008-long time
ago-I had a very unusual set up for this back then. I was not using Skype like I
tended to for later interviews. Instead, I had an old flip phone that I was still
using, and a very strange cableing that went to a mixer and then to my
computer, and that set up kind of led to a number of audio issues. So, I have tried
to do this remaster before, and as I said, I ran into a number of audio problems.
First of all, because of the way the audio was done, the tracks aren't fully
separated like I do in a modern one-I have a completely separate track for me
as well as anyone who's on the phone. In this case, it's just a little bit of
panning, so I can't fully do a separation there. Also, my side of the audio for some
reason has a very heavy amount of bass, and to go on top of that, there's
also a lot of "popped" consonants in my side, you know the P's, B's, D's T's other
consonants like that. So, I kind of put that aside a while back, but I decided
now I would do a second attempt on it. However, as you might expect I ran into the
same problems, and after trying to fix mostly my audio, I noticed that Kirsten's
audio was pretty much okay. It was, you know, phone quality of course, but didn't have
too many technical defects or anything like that, and there weren't too many times
where my sound overlapped over hers-at least that I would have to keep.
So I thought, "why don't I rerecord my end of it?" Now, just to be clear I plan on
disclosing this I would put up a little title or whatever on there, ,and I did get
through, you know, silencing my side of the audio so it was mostly just Kirsten
talking, and I thought about this for a little while afterwards, and I decided I
just didn't think I could do a good enough job rerecording my audio. I
would loosely follow the "script" there I would think, and I just didn't think I
could do it-deliver it well enough to put it out there so that was sort of the
problem I ran into. So, I guess right now I guess I'm kind of looking for
validation, um... I want to know what are your thoughts? Do you think I made a good
decision here? Would you be interested in me trying this anyway,
and are there other interviews that maybe have fewer technical flaws that
you'd like me to sort of try and clean up and improve? If any of those apply go
ahead and give us a comment. Alright folks, thanks.
