If you thought Memphis was only known for Elvis and barbecue, guess again. This
is a place that mixes historic charm with a modern mentality. There's
something for everyone here, even vegans. Here my top 15 favorite things to do in
the city of Memphis. Welcome to M town, Memphis, Tennessee.
Hey! Hey! 1. Cruise around Memphis in style with rockabilly rides. I pretty much felt
like a celebrity in his dreamy 1955 Plymouth Belvedere. Okay hello apparently
this is my ride for the tour. We got so many looks and for good reasons, I mean
just look at this bad boy. This tour will make you feel like you're going back
into time as you explore the rich musical past of Memphis. They offer
several private experiences but I did the Red Hot & Blue tour which let me
relive the early days of Elvis before and during his rise to fame. 2. Visit the
legendary Sun Studio. Now this place has the claim of being the birthplace of
rock and roll. You'll stand in the same place where music legends like Elvis, BB
King and John Cash recorded some major hits. They do 45-minute tours every day
between the hours of 10:00 and 6:00
3. Go to the Stax Museum of American Soul. Now if you want to experience the
studio that's pretty much synonymous with southern soul music then Stax is
where you want to go facts legends includes Isaac Hayes and Otis Redding
who sang one of my favorites song, Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. 4. Hit
up Beale Street all this summer until September you can experience Bike Nights
on Beale. Every Wednesday night thousands of motorcycle enthusiasts descend on the
area and you can watch them cruise by you on America's most iconic street
Honestly no matter what night you go and Beale Street it's always poppin
5. Experience live music. If you can't tell by now from this video Memphis is
all about the music and remember Brad from Rockabilly Rides? Turns out he's
also a musician so he invited me out to hear him perform live at Blues City where
he killed it. The man really knows how to work an audience y'all. 6. The Peabody
rooftop party. Beale Street isn't the only place to hit up at night. Summertime
is rooftop party season at the Peabody Hotel so if you like a good party with
live music then the Peabody is where you need to be
at on a Thursday night. 7. Stay at the Peabody. On top of throwing the best
rooftop party it's actually one of the most famous hotels in Memphis. It's a
luxury hotel with old-school charm and it's even a part of the historic hotels
of America making this more than just a hotel but an important Memphis landmark
Oh and they have this really big obsession with ducks, like really big
which brings me to number eight. Watch the Peabody ducks. You don't have to be a
hotel guest to see the number one thing that the Peabody is famous for, its daily
duck March. Meet the most pampered ducks in Tennessee. Every morning at 11 they
march down to the hotel lobby fountain where they play all day and then at
5pm they march right back on up to their rooftop palace. 9. Rent a bike.
Memphis unleashed a very new bike-share program like literally the day that I
arrived here so I'm super stoked because you guys know I like to stay
active when I travel and I'm super excited to try this out so I'm gonna
go ahead and get on one of these and take it around
They have bike stations all over the city and they're super simple to use
Okay so first things first you basically download the Bcycle app and then it's
going to ask you to login and you would tap this screen to find out the code of the
bike that you want to unlock and then you enter that code into here and it
unlocks the bike and then you can start writing it. 10. Walk to Arkansas. Did
you know that Memphis is just a hop skip and a jump away from the state of
Arkansas? Yeah you can literally walk across the big river crossing the
longest pedestrian bridge across the Mississippi River. 11. Hang out at the
Crosstown Concourse. The building was constructed in 1927 as a Sears
distribution center but then shut down in the 90s as a result of the decline in
the mail-order business. Years later it was transformed into what you see today
a mixed use vertical urban village. I came here at least twice stuff my face
and also to walk around and admire the art. 12. Walk around the Broad Avenue Arts
District. Where my art lovers at? This one's for you. It's filled with over 70
locally owned businesses like boutique shops art galleries, bars, cool stuff like
that. I was able to duck into this artsy looking bar that was literally called
the Liquor Store where I simply asked for their most Instagrammable cocktail
and voila it didn't disappoint. After grabbing a drink I walked in and out of
all these cute little shops and I swear everything just spoke to my soul like
this and this oh yeah both of these two oh yeah definitely this, although this is
me 90% of the time. 13. Explore Overton Square. Okay so welcome to Midtown
Memphis food lovers and art lovers alike are going to love this
place and you guys know if you follow me on Instagram, that t I love art and this is
where it's all at. Not only can you sign up for an art tour here you can also eat
to your heart's content at the huge variety of restaurants they have in the
area. 14. Eat good food. While we're on the topic of good restaurants can I just say
I ate so good in Memphis. While a lot of people come here ready to devour
barbecue I ended up dining at a ton of vegan and vegan friendly joints which
I'll be gushing about in a separate video that will be all about the
amazing vegan food scene in Memphis. And finally 15, visit the National Civil
Rights Museum. Gloria from the Blog Abroad wrote an amazing piece about her
experience here and it inspired me to visit as well. The museum will guide you
through five centuries of history from the beginning of the resistance during
slavery all the way to the events of the late 20th century that inspired people
all around the world to stand up for equality. Wanna see more of my travel

FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Daniel Freitag – Zürich - Duration: 3:11.
I'm most at home in Districts 4 and 5,
the part of Zurich that means Zurich to me.
District 5's a former working-class area
and 4 is what used to be the red-light district.
It's the liveliest area in Zurich,
and you'll find an incredible mix of people
Bahnhofstrasse, Bellevue and the lake are pretty popular,
but I think we can forget Bahnhofstrasse.
For me, the city's central axis is Langstrasse:
it pulsates with life.
OK, I live there, but it's still a great place to get your bearings.
The only really sensible way to get around town is on a bike,
and there a number of bike-lending systems in the city.
You can ride along the river.
For culture in Zurich, we have an axis made up of museums,
starting here with the Museum of Design,
up past the Löwenbräu complex with lots of great galleries.
After that, up to the Toni complex,
which is home to Zurich's School of Design
and has lots of cool stuff with good exhibitions.
For a good view of Zurich, you can go up to the Uetliberg,
nicknamed "Relationship Hill".
If you go up to there on Sunday for a walk,
you'll run into couples deep in conversation.
It seems if there's a problem with your relationship,
you go up to the Uetliberg to solve it.
You can carry on to the TV tower
where you can really see everything.
I usually walk down to a little café and eat a bit of cake.
I won't mention the name, but I really recommend it.
If you want to test your courage,
you can go to the Kornhaus bridge and leap in the River Limmat.
It's literally a jump into cold water
and will get the adrenalin going.
Back here we've got the Letzigrund stadium
and next to it the Letzi lido.
It has a really beautiful pavilion designed by Max Frisch.
We know him best as a writer, but he was also an architect.
Really cool. In summer, when it's really hot,
the Letzi lido's the place to go.
Next up, logically, the Bäckeranlage.
On a beautiful day, it's completely packed,
but lively, with families, alcoholics, you name it.
Here, of course, you've got to visit
the nine-story FREITAG container tower.
And behind it is Gerolds Garten, great place for a beer.
I reckon all of that's a must-see.
I've got a bit of gray hair coming on,
so going out's not really my thing any more.
Hey, Thomas, going out.
What do you reckon?
Which days do you go out?
Thursday, Friday.
Most of us head for District 5. District 4.
Supermarket, Hive (clubs), in the 3rd
we've got (Frieda's) Büxe near Albisriedenplatz.
A lot of people in Zurich knock it because
they say it's too small, too claustrophobic.
But I think it's great because
there's so much packed into such a small space.
And I also like the fact
it's so international. So there you are. My Zurich.
-------------------------------------------
FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Rossana Orlandi – Milano - Duration: 4:13.
Milan's an amazingly interesting city.
It offers a wealth of opportunity, encounters, and wonderful things to see.
Leaving the fashion district,
we have via Brera and via Solferino,
the latter an area where you can still find genuine artisans.
I'd then head for the Castello Sforzesco
since we are so near the park,
you absolutely cannot miss the Triennale.
I'd say it's the pride of Milan:
it has interesting exhibitions,
a very cool theatre
and a restaurant on the terrace with spectacular views.
It's also interesting to go to the tower near there.
very cozy
I'd call this a vary cozy area
where there's my dearest thing
my place
RO
I love my gallery very much
I don't call it my gallery anymore, I see it as my home
this is what we want to convey to others
to feel at home, with simplicity but with great warmth
Not far from us are the via Tortona and via Savona districts.
The Mudec is a must-see,
and then you can move on to the Porta Venezia area.
They've opened a swimming pool here called the Bagni Venezia:
an amazing building with an incredible structure.
Then you could head for Corso Como.
The passage from old to traditional Corso Como is really interesting.
There's an old electrician who's awesome,
the lady inside looks like she's 120 years old
and sells all kinds of old light bulbs.
Now we can leave historical Milan,
cross the bridge, and enter the new world,
the new Milan,
which is Porta Nuova.
To round off our tour we have City Life,
which consists mainly of skyscrapers.
I'd say that the three towers and Porta Nuova
are the two areas that support our claim
to being a modern metropolis,
and I would absolutely recommend you not to miss it.
The Duomo is simply magnificent.
it's interesting because on one side of the square
you'll find the Rinascente shopping center
and on the other the Royal Palace,
which puts on the most incredible exhibitions.
To the right of the royal palace
is the famous Museum of the Twentieth Century,
then from the Piazza del Duomo
through the Galleria that leads to Piazza della Scala:
I suggest having a look,
either from the entrance or the center of the gallery,
to admire the cathedral dome.
One thing I never miss out when I visit a city is the markets.
In Milan, you go to Navigli for antiques,
for flowers, if you're here at the right time,
Sant' Angelo and San Marco in the church gardens.
One thing not to be missed is the Orticola:
this is a knock-out,
where you can see the ladies of Milan
wearing their big floral hats
and is one of Milan's best-known places to meet people.
Why do I like living in Milan?
Because Milan contains absolutely everything that life has to offer.
-------------------------------------------
FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Florian Kapps – Vienna - Duration: 3:36.
The Viennese are slow, pig-headed
and totally immune to any form of renewal.
The Danube here once posed a big threat,
so they built this entire artificial island
and turned it into a huge recreation area.
Over here, on the Gänsehäufel, is the old Danube,
where everything's so nostalgic.
Along here on the banks, you've got
a few nice, really old restaurants.
It's particularly interesting in winter,
because these areas freeze over entirely,
so you can go and discover it all on your ice-skates.
I find the Prater an incredibly beautiful recreation area.
On the one hand, you've got all these sausage stands,
and then this park with lots of wonderful old things to see,
as well as the show booths.
Over here, this long straight road
is what we call the fitness stretch,
but we don't mean it negatively.
It's around 4 kilometers, and you can go jogging
or stroll along with the whole family.
That's something worth doing.
Compared with other cities, there isn't much
that's fake here:
there's still a lot of authenticity and honesty,
which isn't necessarily always good.
Famous for the biggest Wiener Schnitzel,
they're like wagon wheels.
I'd avoid it myself because that's where everybody goes.
They bash out the meat from racks of pork
to create this absurd shape.
And Wiener Schnitzel, as we all know, must be made with veal.
You can still get a fantastic Wiener Schnitzel.
In the Leopoldsgasse, there's a new,
very well-done recreation of a traditional Viennese pub.
You go there, and you can say, OK,
it doesn't always have to be traditional and classical:
you can inject it with a new spirit.
The well-known Hawelka Café is one of those places
where you come in and find yourself in a den of creativity.
You feel like you have to whip out your notebook
and start writing a novel.
For me, it's totally magical, a place
where you understand how the coffee culture really started off.
Where you spend hours and hours over a coffee
talking philosophy and contemplating life.
Certain death for any café owner, of course.
You can take a stroll along here, surrounded by greenery,
and when you get to the Schweizerhaus forget the world.
When they open the beer taps in the morning
and take them outside, they won't be turned off again
until the evening.
Behind it, every Saturday,
is a super flea market
with everything your heart could desire.
Here, to the right of the Wienzeile, is the Kojiro,
a small Japanese restaurant.
Normally, when you've been to Tokyo,
you can't eat sushi anywhere else for two weeks.
Here, you're happy to go after 4 days and can enjoy it.
As you've noticed,
there's been a definite emphasis on cuisine here.
But the distances between A and B here are short,
and there's a lot to discover.

Oprah Winfrey, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston, More in A Guide to Apple's TV Slate | THR News - Duration: 2:51.
Apple has been putting its $1 billion video programming budget to
good use as it continues to snap up high-end series projects and top creators.
While we still don't know exactly when and how the content will be rolled out,
here are a few of the shows we can look forward to.
On the scripted originals front, we have 'Amazing Stories,'
which was Apple's first official scripted order. The individual episodic anthology
is a reimagining of Steven Spielberg's original series that transports
viewers to worlds of wonder through the lens of today's
most imaginative filmmakers, directors and writers.
'Are You Sleeping' is a 10 episode drama that offers a glimpse into America's
obsession with true-crime podcasts and stars Octavia Spencer, Lizzy Caplan
and Aaron Paul with Reese Witherspoon executive producing.
Apple's first animated series will be 'Central Park' from Emmy-winning
'Bob's Burgers' creator Loren Bouchard.
The show tells the story of how a family of caretakers, who live and work in
Central Park, end up saving the park and the world.
The show features a voice cast that includes Josh Gad, Leslie Odom Jr.
Titus Burgess, Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci, Daveed Diggs and Kathryn Hahn.
'Little America' is an eight-episode half-hour episodic anthology
being written by Oscar-nominated 'The Big Sick' writers
Kumail Nanjiani and Emily V. Gordon.
'Master of None's' Alan Yang executive produces the series, which is based
on the true stories included in the Epic Magazine feature of the same name.
The Apple series will go beyond the headlines to look at the funny,
romantic, heartfelt, inspiring and surprising stories of immigrants in America
at a time when they are more relevant than ever.
Also on the way, Hailee Steinfeld as Emily Dickinson in the comedy series 'Dickinson,'
Sara Bareilles teaming with J.J. Abrams for a half-hour dramedy, 'Little Voice,'
and M. Night Shyamalan's untitled drama.
Plus, Jennifer Aniston will return to TV for the first time since 'Friends'
in an as-yet untitled morning show drama which will offer an inside look
at the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning.
Aniston will star alongside Reese Witherspoon with both women executive producing.
When it comes to overall content deals, Oprah Winfrey has signed
a multiple-year pact that includes everything from scripted and unscripted
originals, podcasts, books and applications.
On the unscripted originals side, James Corden's uber-popular
'Carpool Karaoke' will return for a second season on the tech giant,
the show is, of course, a spinoff of the hilarious segment
featured on Corden's 'Late Late Show' on CBS.
And in the scripted development pipeline is 'Swagger,' a basketball-themed
drama inspired by NBA superstar Kevin Durant's early career.
Also in development as Apple's first international drama is 'Shantaram,'
based on Gregory David Roberts' best selling book of the same name.
The drama tells the story of Lin, a man on the run from an Australian
prison looking to get lost in the teeming city of Bombay.
Cut off from family and friends by distance and fate,
he finds a new life in the slums, bars and underworld of India.
These are just a few of the shows we can expect to see as Apple
begins to roll out its content, so for a complete guide,
as well as ongoing updates, head to THR.com.
And tell us, which show are you most excited about seeing?
Let us know in the comments.

FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Francesco Franchi – Milano - Duration: 3:40.
I'm fascinated by the fact that Milan's changed
so radically over the past few years.
It's been turned upside down and reinvented itself.
It's become very contemporary
and developed its design aspects
but also fashion and contemporary art.
The great thing about Milan
is that it's so easy to find your way around.
It's concentric and everything radiates out from the Duomo,
which is right at the heart of the city.
People particularly like it during Design Week
because it's so easy to get to the various districts.
There's the Brera district, for example.
Another interesting one in the center is Cinque Vie
and then there are the other outdoor areas such as Isola,
which is very new and has lots of skyscrapers,
the Unicredit tower, and Piazza Gae Aulenti.
Then there are many other areas
like the one where I live in Tortona/Parco Solari,
or a whole new area that's currently emerging, City Life.
Milan here is almost like Dubai.
And then there's the cultural side.
I studied design and now work as a designer in the city itself.
One of the areas I love most for cultural events
is the Triennale di Milano, which is great for exhibitions
and coffee and the bookstore inside.
But the greatest thing about it
is the new rooftop restaurant on the Triennale,
which has a terrace from which
you can see the whole skyline of Milan through the park.
There's the Unicredit tower
and the newer part of Porta Nuova,
you can enjoy the spectacular views,
especially at sunset in spring and summer.
one really cool thing is grabbing a bike and just riding around.
The city's deserted, and you can really appreciate it.
The continuous change of architecture
in the center is particularly attractive.
On Saturdays and Sundays in summer,
if you can't make it to the beach,
there's an incredibly beautiful swimming pool
located behind the Teatro Franco Parenti
and called Bagni Misteriosi.
The pool itself is encircled by elegant buildings
and is in a nice area of Milan,
which only opened up a few years ago.
Milan is the capital of publishing,
so it's perfect for my work.
All the big publishers, both newspapers and books,
are right here.
At the moment, I think Milan is the best place to live in Italy.
Everything happens here, it's the most European city in Italy.
You see it in the way people dress,
the locations, the art and design:
to put it in a nutshell: I love being in Milan!

The Hip Flask Guide - Gentleman's Gazette - Duration: 9:28.
Welcome back to the Gentleman's Gazette!
Today's video is all about hip flask and coat flask.
We discuss the history the do's and don'ts, what to pay
attention to, the different materials and anything else you want to know about
this classic gentlemanly accessory.
First let's start with a history of the hip flask.
Before the modern era consuming alcohol was almost a health measure
because it could disinfect and help to deal with not so clean water.
Some say it all started in the Kalahari Desert in
South Africa 60,000 years ago where people would use ostrich egg shells to
use as a canteen.
Earthenware containers evolved around 2,000 BC and
they were eventually replaced with glass and metal flasks.
For approximately 500 AD to the Middle Ages, Christian pilgrims would use
flasks to bring home oil or other sacred substances.
The flask as you know today is a modern beverage bottle and some
pinpoint its origins to the 18th century England.
The rounded edges of the flask were brought into a curved form that
matched the contours of the body in order to conceal it more than just a
square container on your chest or your hip.
In the US, prohibition made alcohol illegal from 1920 to 1933 but
nevertheless people continued drinking.
Of course it was better not to do so in public and a hip flask was really
helpful to conceal your alcohol consumption.
Interestingly people who carried hip flasks during Prohibition
were called hipsters.
Today we still have that word but it has an entirely different meaning.
Other terms used for people carrying flasks were vile villain, gentleman from
Kentucky or someone suffering from hip disease.
Flasks weren't just limited to the hip or the coat pocket but they
were also worn by ladies in their garters or by men in their boots which
is where the name bootlegging comes from.
Some states thought they were smart.
They made it unlawful to sell flasks or cocktail shakers but
ultimately it didn't work out.
Today, a flask is primarily used to just carry one's
own hard liquor if you know that you can't find it at the place where you're going
to.
So why is it called a hip flask or coat flask?
It's because it was carried in the hip pocket of trousers or in
the coat pocket of a sport coat, suit or blazer.
Carrying your flask in your trousers is much more obvious and it
also makes it more prone to breaking.
On the other hand, if you have a flask that's curved and shaped to match the
contours of your body and you combine it with a heavier jacket or suit you can
hardly spot it at all.
Flasks are great gifts because you can have them engraved
with little mementos, initials, maybe important events or other things that
remind you of something.
In terms of materials, most flasks coming out are
pewter, glass, sterling silver or stainless steel.
Sometimes you can also find something that is leather encased
but on the inside you'll always either have glass or steel.
The first material used for flasks was glass because of its
neutral effect on flavors and aromas.
Obviously it breaks very easily so if you're done drinking the contents of
your flask you're much more likely to break it and even hurt yourself.
Because of that pewter flasks were introduced which
is a mix of tin, silver, lead, copper and other elements.
While pewter ages very nicely and develops a sophisticated
patina and is not prone to breakage,
the issue is that it has negative impacts on
the flavors and the aromas.
In fact it's so bad that it's not allowed to be used
as a flask anymore.
Alternatively sterling silver was used for flasks and
today these older Victorian flasks are prized possessions and you can find
collectors paying top dollar for them.
As a consequence stainless steel became a lot more popular for flasks because it's relatively
lightweight.
It doesn't have off flavors if you don't keep your
liquors in there for more than three days.
It won't break and it's just something that can be covered in leather for
example or other items.
Sometimes you also find them glass lined or somewhat insulated so you
drop them the glass won't shatter on the inside but those are more expensive more
sophisticated flasks.
Stainless steel can also easily be washed with dishwashing
liquid and it's easy to maintain.
Some flasks even come with a small funnel which help you not to waste any of your
precious liquor.
In terms of size, a standard flask contains about 8 ounces or 240 milliliters.
You can also find much smaller ones but obviously they won't contain more than a shot.
An 8 ounce container, you get about 4 to 5 decent-sized shots.
So what should you fill in your flask?
Honestly, the best thing is hard liquors - Whiskey, bourbon, rum, vodka, brandy, Armagnac.
You name it, anything that's a hard liquor is
perfect for a flask.
That being said flavored alcohols are not ideal in metal
flasks because the flavor can change.
I'd also stay clear of beer, wine, sparkling wine
or anything else with a low proof content except maybe port wine because
that works well with a cigar and it's not something you often find if you're out
and about.
Some even say the best companion for a hip flask in one side of your pocket is
a cigar case on the other side so everything looks symmetrical.
For a stainless steel flask I suggest not to
leave it in there for more than 7 days.
Some people say they can discern some off flavors after three days.
If that's you the shorter you leave it in there, the better.
If you store it in a glass flask technically you can leave it in there
indefinitely but I'd still make an effort to consume it or fill it back
into the bottle it came from.
Alright what are the flasks do's and don'ts?
First of all, do understand that even though prohibition is long gone certain
states still have laws that prohibit you from carrying containers of alcohol in
public except maybe for the trunk of a car so it pays to read up on your state
law so you don't break it.
Don't attempt to bring a filled flask on an airplane
because the TSA won't let you.
Do carry to a wedding party maybe private places
or any kind of event where you are absolutely certain that it will be acceptable to
drink from your flask.
Don't just carry a flash purely to get drunk because that's not gentlemanly.
Also don't take a flask to restaurants bars or theaters with the intent to save money
on buying their drinks because that's just cheap and rude and those are both
things the gentlemen should not be.
When you are in company make sure you do offer your
friends a round, a sip from your flask.
After all it's hard liquor and its use as a disinfectant so you don't have to
worry about anything.
Also don't bring a flask to funerals or occasions where flasks would be simply
inappropriate.
Do prepare to definitely get some judgment from people but at the
end of the day if you enjoy it and you own it, that's all that matters.
I also stress, you don't buy kitschy shaped flasks
in the shape of a Nintendo NES, a banana or maybe an umbrella.
Stick to the classic shapes that are hard to
see on your body.
Most importantly don't carry more liquor in your flask that you
can consume without embarrassing yourself.
Do plan a safe ride home and don't make carrying a flask a habit or a
personal hallmark because that would be over the top.
Leave it for special occasions where it's appropriate.
That being said personally I'm not a huge drinker and I never feel the need for a flask.
That aside it also changes the seal of my jacket and I never
feel like I just can't wait until I'm back home or maybe at the party where
liquor is served anyways.
At the end of the day it is a nice accessory and if
you want to have your favorite spirit with you at all times, go for it.
In today's video, I am wearing a summery combination consisting of a
fresco jacket in grey which is part of a suit.
In this case I'm combining it with a pair of seersucker trousers, a white cuff
link shirt, a knit tie from Fort Belvedere in a mottled
blue and dark blue which you can find in our shop here,
just like the pocket square and the boutonniere.
I am carrying my flask in my right coat pocket because in my left one I have the
pocket square and so it kind of evens it out.
My shoes are burgundy double monk straps with silver buckles and I picked up the
same colors in my leather belt.
To tie it all together I opted for a pair of grey
socks that pick up the grey color of the jacket but at the same time it
contrast with the shoes as well as with the pants.

pants, please check out this in-depth guide here.

RHA MA390 UNIVERSAL: In-Depth Review & Buying Guide - Duration: 3:03.
Hey Guys! This is Raghav here
from Headphone Zone.
Today I'm here to talk to you about
the RHA MA390 Universal in-ear headphones
and for those of you who aren't familiar
RHA is a high end audio brand
from Scotland and they are known for making
some outstanding in-ear headphones
across various price points.
390 Universal is their entry level product
and is priced at just under ₹2,000
here in India.
I'm going to talk to you about
5 reasons why I think
the 390 Universal is the most compelling
product under ₹2,000 that you can buy
If you're looking for an in-ear headphone.
First, the earphones are made almost entirely
of aircraft grade aluminium
Its really built like a tank
and durability is always been RHA's forte.
The earphones are shaped almost like an inverted
trumpet and this really is what RHA believes
makes the music sound a lot more natural and life like
and they call the design an 'Aerophonic' shape.
Number 2
RHA has made these earphones to really work along
with your smartphone,
so they have included 1-button remote and a microphone
in the wire itself
this really makes the earphone universally compatible
virtually all the smartphones out there
and extremely convenient to both pickup and drop calls
and speak into them while you're on the move.
Number 3
RHA has really put a lot of thought in designing
its cable really well.
The bottom half of the cable
uses a fabric braided design and that really helps
to keep the earphones both tangle free
and extremely durable against any kinds of cuts
and tears.
The top half of the cable on the other hand
has a soft rubber sheathing
and they have done this intentionally
to make sure there's very little microphonic
disturbance especially when you're gonna be using
to pickup and drop calls.
Number 4
The RHA 390 Universal sound absolutely fantastic.
They've got what you call a warm and smooth sound signature
There's lots of bass added to this to make
the music both fun and enjoyable.
Now most audiophiles may not like that
but you'll find that as an entry level
offering, this is really a earphone made to
please the crowd and most people who enjoy
a little bit of bass in their music, will find these
sounding absolutely phenomenal.
They have also rolled off the treble on these earphones
so you find that especially if you're gonna be using
these earphones for a long periods of time
they're not gonna fatigue your ears
and its gonna sound a lot more enjoyable
and comfortable.
Number 5 and the most impressive part
of these earphones is that they
come with a phenomenal 3 year warranty
that means if anything goes wrong with these
earphones over the next 3 years
RHA's got your back,
and its hard to find any earphone
at any price point that offers
this kind of a warranty and confidence
behind the product
and for an entry level product
I think its absolutely phenomenal.
Thank you so much for watching guys
I hope this video's been helpful.
Bubye!

Yazz's story - Horizon: Teenagers vs Cancer: A User's Guide - BBC - Duration: 5:18.
All around the country one of the biggest challenges for treating young
teenagers is when their family lives a long way from a principal cancer hospital
Like Yazz and her family. We brought her up to Tristana's on the
Sunday evening and we got told two or three days later that what she has is
AML which is acute myeloid leukemia.
The treatment started quite soon because I
started going getting poorly quite quick got told that we weren't going back to
Plymouth until it was all finished.
And how long ago has that been?
Six months nearly now it's quite a while
The treatment has been
so intense it's left Yazz temporarily in a wheelchair.
So then what have we got today? We've got daybeds today haven't we? Em hum
Yazz was quite poorly a lot of sweating a lot of shakin went through two bouts of
chemo then her blood pressure started raising she ended up in intensive care
with sepsis very poorly we didn't think she was gonna pull through at one point
Yazz needed a stem cell transplant and is now recovering slowly from that for the
past six months Yazz's mum, dad, brothers and sisters have
been split with a hundred and twenty miles between them.
For families like this
charities such as CLIC Sargent fund accommodation that is just minutes from
the hospital.
This is our home away from home
Sam's house come and have a look around
This is the lounge big enough to fit my
brother's wheelchair in so he can come and watch films aswell.
This is the teenage room further down the corridor
Huh! We have the social workers hiding
and then to make it easier for Yazz and our family we have a room right across
from the kitchen this is big enough to fit the whole family in with two people
on the floor but we've got blow up beds
Yazz has been through a really really
hard time I remember when she first came in she was really poorly and she was
really quiet and scared and she didn't really want to engage with anyone which
I totally understand but as time has gone on we've got to know the real Yazz
seeing you know the side to her that I guess all her friends and family see at
home and it's been wonderful
oh it's cold today.
Yazz and mum Tara make
their regular trip to the hospital for monitoring on Yazz's blood
Oh it's chilly today isn't it?
It is chilly darlin it is
it's nice and sunny though
but the news is not what
they want to hear
Yazz has an infection
You alright? You sure?
Yes, yup
x-ray looks okay but her CRP was up and her her heart rate is up so because
she gets poorly quite quickly they want to admit her and it would be a couple of
days antibiotics hopefully won't it mm-hmm
and then out again back to Sam's house
hey
you okay?
need a cuddle?
no?
After another month in Bristol Yazz is finally able to go home to her family
the hardest thing was not seen Jess mainly cause Jess is my twin sister at
home even though we don't share the same room I know she's next door at Bristol
it's like two hours away you don't realize how close you are when you're
with someone and then when you get separated you realise how much you like
miss them and like need them more
it just feels like unbelievable in a way
because it just didn't feel like we would ever get back to Jessica's next
door
it's still kind of like we're actually home
I feel quite proud that I managed to keep my head up and get through it
But I'm also like relieved as well that is they get into the end and we can go back
to normal

FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Eike König – Berlin - Duration: 3:35.
If you take this road, you get straight to Schöneberg
and Kasparstrasse, where I live.
The district is brutalist architecture at its best,
and an incredible mix of buildings.
Here, we have the Bergmannkiez, the best-known of them all.
It teems with restaurants, but they're all lousy
and somehow designed for tourists.
In other words, people who go once and then leave.
Here, there's an amazing cemetery.
You either like morbid stuff or you don't,
but I'm drawn by the peace and quiet.
Sometimes I do a bit of sport. That's here in this street,
and there's a club, the Ritter-Butzke, right behind it.
If you go there at 11 on Saturday morning to do a bit of sport,
to do a bit of sport, the music's still pounding out
and you can hear people partying.
They start coming out like zombies,
and you ride there on your bike and see them.
I find it a nice contrast.
When you've finished working out,
you head straight for the Koyote Restaurant.
Not sure how you spell it.
They do the best Bircher Muesli.
Great location: you can sit outside, next to the canal.
Then you can go here – Am Maybachufer
to the Ankerklause
and get your first beer in – probably not the last.
On the other side, Paul-Lincke Ufer,
we've got Cocolo Ramen,
where you get this Japanese soup,
the best thing to eat when you've got a hangover.
Amazing.
Here, there's a cool gallery, whose name escapes me.
There are also super places to get cake,
ceviche and super ice cream.
Just can't remember the name. But it's all so concentrated,
you just stagger from one cool place to the next.
My favorite bar is here,
but if I tell you about it, everyone will want to go.
The Würgeengel.
My absolute favorite: I lived above, it for two years.
If you're an artist, you have to go here
to the Moritzplatz there is Modulor.
It's like a pharmacy for artists,
where you can buy anything and pays lots of money for it.
There are tons of galleries in Berlin, just everywhere.
There's the König Gallery, located in a brutalist church –
a crazy place called St. Agnes.
It's worth a visit just for the place.
Often, when you have a definite destination in mind,
you don't see the things around you.
Berlin just invites you to walk around.
You really have to go with the flow.
Just walk, look around and discover.
It might be great or not so great.
But, hey, that's not so bad, is it?
-------------------------------------------
FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Hannah Neunteufel – Vienna - Duration: 3:30.
Vienna's unique because
you can take everything at your own pace.
If you just want to take things easy
and do nothing in particular, you can.
But if you want to live life at full speed, you can do that too.
I spend most of my time in the city center.
That's my space.
Here, we've got the Bitzinger sausage stand.
It's a place where real estate tycoons
and garbage men rub shoulders.
You can order a cheese platter
and a bottle of champagne.
Of course, you can do that in any upmarket bar,
but it's nowhere near as interesting.
Go down to the Stadtpark, and there's a little canal.
It's a lovely, romantic little place.
You really have to go there, preferably at night.
Very important.
I really need to emphasize that.
In the Stadtpark,
there's this gourmet restaurant, the Steirereck.
And a bit further down, also on the canal,
the Milk Bar.
Incredibly well done, super food,
and a really cool place to hang out,
not so upmarket as the Steirereck.
Just wander down, have breakfast. Nice place.
In the Prater there's this amazing minigolf course.
It's all incredibly sleepy, directly under the Ferris wheel.
Brilliant.
You wouldn't believe it, and it's definitely an insider tip.
It's beautiful in November, too,
when the atmosphere's a bit subdued.
There's something gloomy about it, but hey, why not?
On Tiefer Graben is the Orient, Vienna's most beautiful
and celebrated hotel for discreet amorous encounters.
Which means, of course, that you can't just walk in
and say, "I'd like to take a look around…".
You've got to …
HAHAHAHA.
Something I always find intriguing
are the things you take back with you.
What makes a city unique?
It's the small things you can't order on the Internet,
things that are produced specially, right here.
Altmann and Kühne, for instance,
is a small Viennese chocolate factory
that specializes in miniature chocolates and pralines.
Forget Mariahilfer Straße you don't need to go there.
It's been done to death.
Mariahilferstrasse really is a no-go: so don't!
But what is nice is the towpath along the Danube Canal.
There's no traffic, just the occasional bicycle.
It goes on forever, wonderful,
and you'll see a whole lot of Vienna, super-relaxing.
In the Berggasse is the Red Bear,
an unpretentious old inn taken over by young owners.
Very impulsive, very hip without being too cool.
I really recommend it.
You don't really need to go to the Naschmarkt.
You can stroll through it, but it's not a must-see.
It's nice enough, but don't bother looking at the stores.
Really embarrassing.
But the Karmelitermarkt is, I think,
the best food market in Vienna,
everything sustainably produced. Really good news!
So where do you find out what's on at the moment?
Your best bet is the Falter.
They have an events calendar and stuff like that.
Very important too, right?
-------------------------------------------
FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Jörg Brüggemann – Berlin - Duration: 3:35.
What I always find so cool about Berlin
is that it's like an open-air museum
of European history of the 20th century.
You've got the Empire,
the Weimar Republic,
the Nazi era,
the GDR and former West Germany,
and they're all there, next to one another.
And, wow, you find them juxtaposed everywhere.
I know it's nothing especially new,
but personally, I love the Tempelhofer Feld.
It's a really weird feeling to walk along these runways,
where planes used to take off and land.
It's like a Field of Dreams,
people with the craziest ideas
for things you can do in a wide-open space.
And they do it there.
I've seen cricket matches there,
kite skating,
juggernaut players,
radio freaks hanging out in the bushes:
it's freaky: a totally free space
where people can do what they want.
Something I can recommend is an e-newsletter
called Photography in Berlin:
it's all there, in super-concentrated forms.
Görlitzer Park is also worth seeing,
and you can hang out and party there at the weekend.
But if you do go, you've got to like bongos,
and I can't stand them.
Something else that's crazy is the Sonnenallee,
also known as Arab Street, with lots of immigrants.
There in all the parallel streets and the Donaustrasse too
there's been an incredible change in the past few years.
Bars, cafés: lots of people have come in,
and they're all from different cultures and social backgrounds.
It's really multicultural and the one place in Berlin
that's closest to big cities like London, Paris or New York.
That's the thing that makes Berlin unique,
the most multicultural city in Germany.
If you're looking for non-European food,
this is probably the best place to come.
The Kottbusser Tor is here,
and Adalbertstraße goes down to the south,
and there's a residential complex
with a Turkish restaurant that serves the best döner in Germany.
I don't remember the name, but you can find it
directly under the complex, which is built over the street.
Preußenpark, out here in the west of the city,
has the Thaiwiese,
where they have the best Thai street food imaginable,
with all the fruits and everything that goes with it.
I really recommend it. Cheap, and fantastic food.
There are some really good indoor swimming pools.
The James Simon pool in Gartenstraße, for example:
it's an old Bauhaus-style building with a glass roof.
The Columbia outdoor pool is here,
between Hasenheide and Tempelhofer Feld
is a real cultural experience,
especially on weekends in summer.
It's a lot of fun, but you've got to be careful.
I don't want to sound mean, but when you go,
you know the cops are going to show up
two or three times a day.
Berlin's got a hold of me and has given me
so much over the past 12 years.
The experiences I've had here have brought me
further in life, and I'm incredibly grateful for that.

Alex Audio Butler EARLY-ACCESS - Quick Guide (Dutch with English subs) - Duration: 4:27.
Welcome.
In this Quick Guide I will explain how to automatically mix the sound of your video
with Alex Audio Butler in Premiere.
After installing the plug-in can be found in the Effects/Sends module
of the Audio Track Mixer panel.
There are three variations: Alex Audio Butler Voice, Music and Master.
Every audio track has a corresponding instance
where you can give high level directions.
There is no need to worry about things like Hertz or dB
because in the background Alex is constantly realizing your audio-goals.
This is an example project from Adobe, with raw audio.
The raw material is fine, but the voice is lost in the music
and you can see the master is clipping.
The goal is clear for these kinds of projects: an intelligible Voice in the foreground,
Music with an appropriate volume that ducks during speech,
and a total volume ready for delivery.
On Track 1 is the voice-over, on Track 2 the music.
next is the Master track where all audio is mixed together.
Let's listen how it sounds now.
The voice has a correct volume, and is more intelligible because of the ducking.
Also there is no more clipping going on.
Sometimes the default settings already suffice.
By double-clicking the name the Interfaces comes up.
Click "Targeted" to open multiple instances simultaneously.
The interface consists of Settings and Volume Meters.
On the left you can see the original volume.
And on the right you see the volume after Alex Audio Butler's processing.
Here the music is a bit quieter, and the voice is boosted.
Music is the most importing thing to adjust.
Auto-Volume controls the target-volume for Alex in 5 steps.
Choose Off to control the volume yourself.
Auto-Ducking controls how much quieter the music will be during speech.
From Subtle, almost unnoticeable, to Contrasting, an obvious effect.
Have a listen
Auto-Volume of Voice is set to Varying Source(s) by default.
Alex will bring everything to the same volume,
for example multiple speakers, locations or takes.
Choose Constant Source for professional voice-overs with an already constant volume, like here.
Compression, also called Dynamics, can create a more tight volume.
From Natural, where it's barely noticeable, to Max, sounding like radio or commercials.
The Master also has compression, tying all tracks together
and giving the final mix a slight boost.
The most important setting of Master is Export Target,
creating an end-result that's perfect for online content,
or ready for tv or radio.
By experimenting yourself
you will quickly find out which settings you like best for your projects.
To finish up, let's listen how it sounds now
And for comparison one more time without Alex Audio Butler.
One more time with Alex.
That's how quickly you can be done mixing when you leave it to Alex Audio Butler.
Of course this video too is mixed by nothing but Alex Audio Butler.
I have appointed the screencast audio as music in this case,
so it moves to the background during my voice-over.
For more explanation, and tips & tricks view the rest of the videos in this channel.

5 4 The Supreme as the Friend, Teacher and Guide - Duration: 3:26.
For real spiritual progress, I need three relationships. Firstly, the relationship
with the Supreme as my mother, my father and my friend. And in these relationships
I feel love and nurturing. And this love sustains me, but love is not enough. For
me to continue to progress, I need learning. And so I begin to
explore the relationship with the Supreme as my teacher. And so, as I go
about my day, I'm constantly learning about myself and observing my responses.
So I begin to grow but even love and learning is not enough I need guidance
because as we know all of us experience many obstacles in life and so many
challenges. We need guidance to show me the way through a lot of the roadblocks
which come my way. I think that relationships take on different flavours.
For a full life, I need all types of relationships to make me a whole and
complete individual. And one relationship I really love with my relationship with
the Supreme is as a friend. Because friendship is probably the most
sustainable relationship in life. And what I love to do is, I meditate in the
morning and I feel that connection I feel that closeness but then I step into
my day and during the day there are so many distractions, so many personalities
and sometimes I can disconnect. But when I keep God as my friend I'm able to feel
support and a companion that is traveling with me, throughout my life.
It's not my imagination, it's real. And this is why often, we call it remembrance
As I go about the day, I just remember my friend and when I
feel that connection that natural sense of support is there and it gives me a
feeling of resilience a strength to face the inevitable challenges that are
coming my way. I also love the relationship as a Teacher and a Guide.
How much is there to learn in life? I feel each day, I'm stepping into the
classroom of life and sometimes I make mistakes, things go wrong, but I feel that
the Supreme is educating me about how to live by my highest values and not get
caught up in all the stories, the justifications, the blame, the reasons, the
excuses, all that stuff but to remain in my self respect. And remain beyond that
state of mind. And I think when I begin to hold these natural relationships, as
we've been saying relationship is intrinsic, it's a natural way of
progressing spiritually, I'm able to feel stronger and stronger as I move forward
on my spiritual journey.
-------------------------------------------
FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Judith Luig – Berlin - Duration: 3:35.
For me, Berlin's all about freedom.
You can constantly reinvent yourself,
get involved in projects,
and you'll always find people who are happy to join in.
That's what so exciting about it.
At the moment, my life revolves around Kreuzberg,
where it's all happening.
But what I also find exciting is this Weimar spirit,
this reincarnations of the 1930s,
this dance on the volcano, as they call it.
And that's all in the old west part of the city.
The Romanische Café is somewhere around here.
You run into all kinds of people there,
and it used to be a meeting place for artists and writers.
A bit further down the Kurfürstendamm
we get to the House Cumberland,
which they've renovated and reopened.
I find it really cool there,
a place for the creative scene and actors.
Motzstraße is Berlin's best-known gay and lesbian district,
a position it held back in the 1930s and still does today.
You can go there any time of the day or night
and find something to suit your sexual preferences.
Over here, we have the Prenzlauer Berg,
with this maze of small streets
and thousands of little shops and stores.
It's something you really have to see, I think.
Here's Schlossstraße,
where there are scores of mooring places.
You can hop on a boat and sail all the way down the Spree.
And that's really beautiful.
Here, there's an industrial district,
where you can rent one of these little houseboats.
They have a little engine and you hire them
and get out of Berlin even without a driving license.
Great when you want to spend time on the water
at the weekend and have no idea about watersports.
Here's the New National Gallery.
When the Wall divided the city,
East Berlin had all the really cool old museums,
so the others had to build equally cool new museums.
This is the Tulus Lotrek,
the city's hottest new restaurant,
where they specialize in French/fusion cuisine.
They've been here for two years,
already got their first Michelin star,
and Ilona Scholl is Berlin's Host of the Year.
I'd go at any rate, not least for the people
and the cocktails, but mainly for the food, of course.
Let's move over to Neukölln.
Here, everybody speaks English,
order chai lattes or stuff like that.
Hipster happening.
Then there's Savignyplatz, where the best Asian food is.
They've got it all: Thai,
the best Peking duck outside of Peking.
Here's the KitKatClub:
a swingers' club for hipsters. What's not to like?
Berliners can be a bit brash, gruff.
It's something you have to get used to.
Or you may get straight into it from the start.
When I first came here,
I'd often burst into tears in front of my friends
because I didn't understand it,
I didn't get that it was supposed to be a joke.
But Berlin's full on, that's all there is to it.
-------------------------------------------
FREITAG CITY GUIDE LINES: Kevin Fries – Zürich - Duration: 3:42.
Zurich's a cool city because it's so compact.
You can just come and start walking around.
For breakfast
you best head to Salon on Weststrasse.
They've got the best Egg Benedict.
They've got the best Oeufs Benedict.
A really nice breakfast eatery.
I suggest you start the day there.
Set off on a bike
and ride alongside Sihl (and its absurd highway)
There is a nice bike path
that takes you to Allmend.
That's like the Central Park of Zurich.
The entire area around the lake – just forget it!
There's no room, it's just chock-a-block.
Unless you want wall-to-wall bodies.
Then you find here an infinite number of people.
But here at the Allmend, it's virtually deserted.
This is a really great spot:
the Old Botanical Gardens.
Totally underrated.
The Rigiblick funicular:
from the top you have a great view
over the city and lake
and see you how small it all is.
Or maybe not so small.
It's especially cool
to bring a skateboard with you.
This is one of the best downhill runs in Zurich.
We used to spend entire evenings doing it.
Do we need to go shopping?
You could go to my favourite district.
Wiedikon!
Helvetiaplatz:
There's a super flea market every Saturday.
There's another one at Bürkliplatz.
Although the only thing in common
is probably the term flea market.
Helvetiaplatz is very authentic
you can get everything from an electric drill
to bikes to ladies' lingerie.
Bürkliplatz is more of an antique flea market
where you can buy an Eames lounge chair
for CHF 5000...
Then you head to Volkshaus.
Get a good beef tartare and a wine spritzer
and you're good for the next few hours.
In the evening you best roam around this area.
The Helsinki Club's here
a great spot fo small gigs.
For a few years now,
things have been moving out towards Prime Tower.
But it's absurd: what used to be an indutrial area
is turning into a business district.
Then you should head for the Zukunft.
You don't go there before 2am
but by 4am it's dripping from the ceiling
because it's so full.
They've got good sounds
if you're into electro, minimalist, techno stuff.
And you should read Vice Report on Zurich.
