Life without Jesus is a nightmare and a disaster that leads to certain destruction. If you
follow Jesus, He will guide you in all things and give you eternal life. Sadly very few
people follow Jesus. Many don't know to follow Jesus and others choose not to follow Him,
but rather to follow other people and their own mind.
Jesus is alive and He speaks, He guides everyone who comes to Him, trusts Him and stays with
Him. Jesus gives His Spirit, the Holy Spirit, to be in and with every believer who obeys
His words and seeks Him with all their heart. The world, the unbelievers and those who do
not obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, cannot receive the Holy Spirit.
To follow Jesus is a practical walk, day by day. Many people claim to follow Jesus and
be led by the Holy Spirit, but it does not play out in their lives. They are no different
from other people who are not believers. Jesus Christ and His Spirit is not a reality in
their lives, it is only words and jargon, religious talk. Their spirituality is just
fuzzy vague ideas from their imagination. If you are serious about following Jesus,
He will guide you, give you direct instructions, warnings, revelations and understanding of
His will for you. You will have to trust Him enough to do what He tells you to do without
doubting. You might ask Him for confirmation and understanding but if you do not have faith
and courage to do what He tells you to do, then walking by faith and following Jesus
is not for you. "Faith comes comes from hearing, and
hearing by the word of Christ."Romans 8:17. Please pause to listen, understand what
is written here. " Faith comes from HEARING." Hearing WHAT? "Hearing by the word of Christ."
Let me put it in different words: You believe when you hear Jesus speaking to you. Then
you ACT on what He SAID TO YOU. So what are you believing? You believe what Jesus told
you. If Jesus did not say anything, then you have nothing to act upon.
Many believes act on ASSUMPTION. They read something in the Bible, or hear a preacher
say something, or even come up with their own idea and then they act of that assumption.
They say thy are "stepping out in faith." They assume that Jesus will follow them and
make their idea work out. That is not faith, it is rather presumption or just plain stupidity.
Then things do not work out as they expected and they blame God, but God was never in their
project. It was their own idea. They lose faith in God and many of them stop believing
in God and become agnostic. Even when you have heard from God and you
do what He tells you to do, things hardly ever work out the way you expected or thought,
because God's ways are not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. God does not
give you a detail plan or a map, He gives you direction and when you follow His directions
you end up where you do not know further. Then you get further direction. You have to
stay with Jesus and follow Him in faith after hearing from Him. His timing is not our timing.
It is of no use to become frustrated or in a hurry. In His time, He will guide you further.
You have to stay with Jesus all the way, until the end.
It is of no use to ask the opinion of other people or followers of Jesus, if He gives
you guidance, or tells you to do something. You have to stay with Jesus, trusting, waiting,
doing what He tells you to do by FAITH, because you HEARD from Him. If you do not have the
courage to do what Jesus tells you to do, even if it sounds irrational by human opinion
and standards, then you cannot follow Jesus. It is written:"BUT MY RIGHTEOUS ONE SHALL
LIVE BY FAITH; AND IF HE SHRINKS BACK, MY SOUL HAS NO PLEASURE IN HIM."Hebrews 10:38.
Jesus will guide you all the way, in all things, work, relationships, marriage, finances, bringing
up your children, where to live, how to serve Him, but you have to trust and obey Him above
all, more than your spouse, your parents, your employer, your children, your family
and your friends, even the government. If you want to follow Jesus, you have to obey
Him in all things, obey His words as recorded in Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Start right,
repent, stop sinning, turn from your own desires and plans, turn to Jesus. Be baptized in water
for the forgiveness of your sins. Be holy. Seek Jesus, seek His will, ask Him to baptize
you in the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit will convict you of sin, if you do wrong, He will
guide you into all truth and righteousness. He will guide you in what you must do and
He will tell you things that will happen in future, He will warn you. He will be with
you until the end of your life but you have to seek His guidance, obey Him and stay with
Him. You have to work out your own relationship with Jesus. He will guide you all the way
but you have to stay with Him. Jesus will speak to you, in a dream or a vision,
or a voice, that only you can hear, not in your ear, but in your spirit. He will speak
to you through circumstances, through revelation, through sickness. He will put knowledge in
you, understanding. If you seek His will and guidance, trust Him and stay tuned in to Him
you will immediately recognize His hand and His intervention. "Those who are pure in
heart, will see God." Through your relationship with Jesus, you will grow in knowledge and
understanding of Him and His ways. Do not allow anything to distract you from
Jesus, not churches, other Christians, books or even your own interpretation of the Bible.
Many go astray because they run after people and various teachings. Jesus Christ alone
is the way, the truth and the life, follow Him relentlessly and He will guide you, He
will give you eternal life.
May Jesus bless you.

Top 10 Cherry Blossom Spots in Tokyo | japan-guide.com - Duration: 6:08.
Tokyo is Japan's capital, most populated metropolis, and also boasts more cherry blossom-viewing
hotspots than anywhere else in the country.
Nestled amid its giant buildings and winding expressways are a plethora of parks, gardens,
tree-lined lanes and riverbanks that offer some of the best sakura experiences in all Japan.
Visitors from around the world flock to Tokyo each spring to take in the beautiful blossoms.
In the average year, the peak of sakura season occurs during one week in early April.
However depending on temperatures in the preceding weeks, the peak can start in late March or
last into mid April.
It is also worth mentioning that due to the variety of cherry trees found throughout the
city, even if you are visiting a few weeks on either side of this zone, you should still
be able to find a few blossoms.
With so many spots to choose from, we thought we'd make planning your perfect, petal-filled
trip a little easier by giving a quick rundown of our Top 10 cherry blossom locations in Tokyo.
Number 10: Koishikawa Botanical Garden
Belonging to the prestigious Tokyo University,
Koishikawa Botanical Garden is home to thousands of varieties of trees and plants as well as
a beautiful landscape garden.
During spring it doesn't get as crowded as other popular sakura spots around the city,
making for a pleasant atmosphere for visitors to enjoy the blossoms.
Numer 9: The Meguro River
The Meguro River is an attractive canal lined
with hundreds of cherry trees and a plethora of shops and cafes in one of the capital's
hippest neighborhoods.
During peak season, the many bridges which span the waterway provide picturesque views
of the river crowded by pink petals so don't forget to bring your camera.
Number 8: Koishikawa Korakuen
Among Tokyo's prettiest traditional gardens,
Koishikawa Korakuen is particularly famous for its weeping cherry trees, which take center
stage in spring among the park's many other picturesque features.
Number 7: Asukayama Park
This hilltop park in the north of the city
has been popular as an atmospheric hanami spot since the Edo Period and still attracts
a large number of cherry blossom lovers of all ages even now.
Number 6: Yoyogi Park
One of the city's more well-known parks.
Yoyogi sits across the street from the stylish Harajuku neighborhood and directly next to
the famous Meiji Shrine.
This expansive park is a hotspot for hanami parties, having enough space for a lively
atmosphere to prevail here throughout the season.
Number 5: Showa Kinenkoen
With over a thousand trees, this huge, family-friendly
park is located 30 minutes west of Tokyo.
The abundant blossoms here typically bloom a few days later than those in central Tokyo,
making the park popular with those who missed hanami downtown.
Aside from the cherry blossoms, the park also boasts other beautiful flowers and a variety
of facilities and amenities.
Number 4: Sumida Park
During spring the walking paths along the
shores of this picturesque river become lined with pink petals.
Located only a short walk from the famous Sensoji Temple in Asakusa, Sumida park is
an ideal place for visitors to take in views of the iconic Tokyo Skytree framed by cherry blossoms.
Number 3: Chidorigafuchi
One of the most photogenic sakura spots in
the city, Chidorigafuchi consists of a path alongside the sakura-lined moat of former
Edo Castle just west of the Imperial Palace.
For a fee, visitors can even rent a rowboat to paddle around in the old moat.
This atmospheric area makes for a charming petal-filled stroll both during the day, and
also in the evening during nightly illuminations..
Lastly, the nearby Yasukuni Shrine is home to hundreds more cherry trees, including Tokyo's
representative tree, which the meteorological agency uses to determine the state of the
sakura season for the entire city.
Number 2: Ueno Park
Ueno Park is the most renowned party spot
in all of Tokyo during sakura season, and is a true hanami haven packed with vistiors
enjoying the festivities both in the upper section where the wide central walking path
is located and also around Shinobazu Pond in the lower section.
The park's paths are lined with hundreds of cherry trees, and it's recommended to
get here early if you intend to get a place under one.
Number1: Shinjuku Gyoen
This large, family-friendly park stands as
a natural oasis in one of Tokyo's busiest districts.
This peaceful park boasts over one thousand cherry trees which span a range of species
and bloom at different times during the season, making Shinjuku Gyoen a great place to visit
for blossom enthusiasts who are in town a little before or after peak season.
One point to be aware of is that the park doesn't allow alcohol inside and so is not
a good option for visitors intent on enjoying their hanami with some drinks.
Nevertheless, with so many beautiful scenes and sakura viewing opportunities throughout
its vast and varied grounds, Shinjuku Gyoen takes the cake as our number one sakura location
in all of Tokyo.
So there you have it, our top ten cherry blossom spots in Tokyo.
Hopefully this video helps you to plan your perfect petal-filled trip.
More in-depth information on the cherry blossoms can be found in the dedicated section of our website
including this year's forecast, lists of the best sakura spots, tree varieties, and during sakura season,
daily cherry blossom reports from around the country.

Nazaré, Portugal: Beaches and Barnacles - Rick Steves' Europe Travel Guide - Travel Bite - Duration: 3:53.
Our first stop -- the fishing town of Nazaré.
We're here in May, and the beach is all ours.
While touristy in the summer, Nazaré offers a good look
at how bits of traditional Portugal survive.
♪♪
The community faces its sweeping beach.
People stroll the promenade.
Old-timers enjoy the scene.
Kids use the beach for a soccer field.
-Oh! Oh!
-And families catch some springtime sun
before the hordes of summer vacationers arrive.
Nazaré has a strong fishing heritage.
While nothing like its heyday,
fishermen still manage to harvest the sea.
Working as a team as the sun drops,
they set their nets with wisdom
passed down from their grandfathers.
The next morning, the women of the town
prepare the day's catch.
Splayed and salted fish are put out on nets
to dry under the midday sun.
This simple way of preserving fish
carries on, unchanged for generations.
Locals claim they're delicious,
but I'd rather eat another salty treat -- barnacles.
So, this is a barnacle? -Yep.
-How do you say that in Portuguese?
-Percebes. -Percebes.
Can you show me the trick to opening it?
-Okay. -Yeah.
-You...
-Oh!
[ Laughs ]
Mmm, it's good! -Yeah.
-So, where do these come from?
-From the rocks, from there.
-Just from right over there, huh?
-Yeah. -Today?
-Yeah. -Really?
Today. So it's fresh.
So, I break it, okay, like so.
Look at that. It's beautiful.
Mmm.
How do you say "delicious"?
-Muito bom. -Muito bom.
-Percebes -- muito bom. -Good.
-And with beer, perfect.
-Obrigado. -Bon appétit.
Thank you. -Thank you.
-Obrigado.
Nazaré's women are known for their traditional skirts
with many layers of petticoats to keep them warm,
reminiscent of the old days when they'd sit on the beach
awaiting the return of their fishermen.
Bom dia.
And this proud woman is eager to describe her outfit.
The short skirts are made bulky by many petticoats.
The aprons are embroidered by hand.
The stockings are high and loud.
Flamboyant jewelry is passed down from generation
to generation.
And when the wind whips up, her shawl keeps her warm.
-Si?
Si? [ Speaks Portuguese ]
-Nice!
Obrigado. -[ Laughs ]
Okay. -Obrigado.
- Boa tarde. - Boa tarde.
-Nazaré's folk club keeps their traditions
lively with music and dance.
This troupe's been gathering crowds since the 1930s.

Cappadocia Guide: Hot Air Balloons | Cave Hotels | Best Season | Best Day Tour - Duration: 16:53.
9:45 am
I am going for a day tour
Cappadocia is the name of a region, not a place
lies in an area of 60 kms
let me share some basics about Cappadocia
biggest city is Nevsehir
Buses from Istanbul, Pamukkale, Izmir, etc. come to NevSehir
Goreme is the main centre of tourists in Cappadocia
So type 'Goreme' on Google maps if you are looking for Cappadocia
there are many travel agencies and hotels in Goreme
I am in Ortahisar village
almost 4-5 km away from Goreme
there is a famous castle in Ortahisar
You can stay in Goreme, Ortahisar and Uchisar
atleast 2-3 days to visit Cappadocia
or atleast do a day-tour if you are visiting Cappadocia
so that you can see the rock formations, chimneys, etc.
which makes Cappadocia special
He has come to pick me up
We are now going to the travel agency
Then I will join a few more tourists in a bus
we will travel together and do a guided tour
my hotel arranged this trip
its costs me 200 lira
around 2000 INR
Winter is not the proper season to visit Cappadocia
From Nov to Feb
Days are extremely hot in summer in Cappadocia
Its like Delhi, extreme climate
This is 12-13 september
weather is pleasant
there is no AC in my cave room
still it was very comfortable at night
while boarding this car
i went on that side to sit
as we do in India
probably he got annoyed
this is the main road
thats Hotel ramada
Dont forget to experience the chimneys if you are in Cappadocia
if possible, stay in a cave hotel
thats the reason I am staying in Hezen cave hotel
what a pleasant beginning of the day!
with an elderly gentleman
you can also do hot air balloon acitivities
they start early in the morning
its quite famous, but expensive
around 12000 INR
balloon tour starts around 5:30 am
and trip finish around 7 am
This is Goreme Town
many travel agencies, restaurants, hotels,
this is the place where I came yesterday - Bus terminal
let me share a money saving trick
My day tour costs 200 Lira and offers a guide, lunch and tickets
but if you don't want to spend 200 liras
then you can travel in these local buses called Dolmus
they cost maximum 4 LIra for a trip
from one point to another
but you may have to wait for the next bus...
Trip time - 10 am to 4:30 pm
Lets start the trip
First point
Uchisar castle
He said...
Thats Uchisar castle
means, high castle
he said. Iranian named this place Cappadocia
This place was attacked by many invaders
Iranians took away some horses from here
those horses were very good
so then named this place - Cappadocia
means - land of beautiful horses
He told that temperature varies is a lot in Cappadocia
According to him
in 2016 winter, minimum temp went down to -39 degree celcius
in 2017 summer, maximum was recorded 45 degree celcius
this impacts these rocks
these rocks are very soft
they get eroded by wind
According to the gentleman...
tourists were allowed to enter Uchisar castle
but not allowed now
a few years back a tourist fell down to death from the castle
that is why these agencies don't allow us to climb the castle
they say. you can go wherever you want after finishing our trip
there are a lot of agencies which conduct such day tours in Cappadocia
most of these tourists are brought here by the agencies
This is the next point
Goreme open air museum
entry fee = 30 Lira
this is UNESCO's world heritage site
My entry fee is already covered in day tour fee of 200 Lira
it covers - vehicle, tour guide, lunch and all other entry fees
pay 15 lira for audio guide
but for me ... he is the guide
Mr Ahmet
there is a chapel
turkish history is quite rich
like Indian history
byzantine empire
romans...
ottomans...
many people ruled this country
they followed different religions
this place has connections with christianity
male and female nuns used to stay in different places
because they were devoted for the cause of religion
so they had to live separately
so that they can focus only on religion
he also said...
There used to be a large Greek population in some areas of Cappadocia
Like India-Pakistan partition, when...
a lot of people migrated from their places to the new country
it is said to be the largest migration in the human history
a huge amount of people migrated from here to there during that time
similarly... here, the Christians went to Greece
and Muslims from Greece came to Turkey
this way, the churches in Cappadocia got abandoned
he said, the paintings on the wall of churches ...
were destroyed by the children
also, as the followers of Islam don't believe in idol worshipping
they erased all the paintings
so now very few churches are left where the paintings are still in good condition
Humans started living in these caves in 2000 BC
They carved these caves using bones and small tools
these are the caves
around 1950-60s AD, people abondoned these caves
due to erosion
after tourism started growing here
many caves were turned into hotels
Ahmet has left us
he wanted us to visit this place on our own
he has already explain everything about this place
he is waiting for us there
he has given us 40 minutes
do whatever you want.. and come back after that
There is an underground city in Cappadocia near Urgup town
You have to join another tour to visit that
but its quite claustrophobic
its very cool inside the caves
my sound is echoing
this looks like underground city... quite adventurous
Mother... look at them
when these elderly couple can travel
why can't you!
I am talking to my mom
but also applicable to all the mothers in our country
please travel and visit the beautiful world
age hardly matters

How To Unlock Infinite Ammo Handgun In Resident Evil 2 Remake | S Ranking Starting Guide - Duration: 4:15.
How do you get infinite handgun in Resident Evil 2 Remake?
The answer, is to finish the game with an S rank on any scenario.
And you only have to do it on 1 playthrough.
That will add an infinite ammo samurai edge handgun to your item box with both characters
in all their scenarios on any difficulty, even the ones you didn't beat.
So how do you obtain this magical S rank and what is the HUGE secret nobody is talking
about?
Let's find out!
In order to garner that S ranking, the only thing that matters is your final game time.
You can save the game 500 times, you can use every first aid spray in the game, you can
die a million deaths you CAN even use infinite knife or ammo.
I just tested it.
And It works.
The time requirements are stipulated in the results menu and it depends if you select
first run, 2nd run and the difficulty you choose.
But this video isn't about how to pwn noobs with hardcore S+ ranks, it is about the easiest
way to get infinite ammo, so here are the 3 main things you need to do before you start.
Number 1, select new game first run.
First run is easier than 2nd run.
Number 2, select the character who you are most comfortable with and who's path you know
best.
Many say Claire is easier.
And Number 3, select standard difficulty.
This gives you the max time, 3 hours and 30 minutes to complete the game and tons of checkpoints
if you mess up.
Now that you've started it is a race against the clock.
You can check your current game time by pausing.
Just don't trust other online guides.
the INVENTORY SCREEN, ITEM BOXES AND MAP DO NOT STOP THE TIMER!
I just tested it.
If you need to take a break, take a phone call, use the new RPD bathorrom or follow
wheresbarryb on twitter hit PAUSE.
Don't let time waste away in a puzzle screen either while you're looking for the solution.
PAUSE, it is the only way to stop the clock.
That being said, feel free to chill out during cut scenes, they do not count.
Here's the big secret.
When you die and hit continue, the timer does NOT restart from your previous save.
So if you fought a boss for 7 minutes, then die and continue, you just lost 7 minutes.
To fix this, instead of hitting continue, just go down to load game, and load from your
previous save or auto-save.
But this poses a slight problem.
this will make the game harder or more accurately it will never get easier, as Resident Evil
games include adaptive difficulty that changes when you die.
If you always reload saves, it means you never died.
the game knows this and will rub it in your face with pain.
The final key lies within you!
You will need the skill, knowledge of key items, practice and experience, or a good
online guide, to get to the end in under 3 hours and 30 minutes.
But you can do it!
"You can do it all night long"
Once you've unlocked the infinite Samurai Edge once, it magically transports itself
into your item box, on new games and on previous saves for both characters and in all scenarios.
You can use it to collect most trophies and achievements quicker without penalty, but
you can't get S+ ranks using it.
So get the job done and in no time, you'll be running around Raccoon City bustin up zombies
with your infinite ammo Samurai Edge.
The game also lest you unlock infinite knife, machine gun, mini gun and rocket launcher,
so stay tuned for future videos.
Crimson Army, have you unlocked infinite ammo yet?
Are you having trouble?
Let me know in the comments and don't forget to like and subscriibbe!

Eurovision in Tel Aviv: 3000 Rooms Needed
Loads of money.
You know everyone's going to make a profit on this Eurovision?
You can, too.
Sublet.
Housing problems,
the cost of living's going up,
hotel room shortage.
In Hungary, it's called "A tökéletes vihar"
"The Perfect Storm."
We've been waiting for this moment all our lives.
A tourist who comes here from England
doesn't understand our distances.
To him, everything looks about the size of a pea.
What's this?
What is Holon?
7 kilometers as the crow flies to "HaBima."
It's like riding the tube from the Tate Modern to Camden.
Repeat after me:
"It's just a stroll
"to Tzomet Holon Train Station
"and you're practically there."
It doesn't matter if there's no way you can get from the HaShalom train stop to the city
besides a really threatening taxi company.
As far as they're concerned, they're on an adventure.
You also don't have to be afraid about charging a high rate.
How many times have you heard that their GNP is high?
That they have an efficient public transportation system?
That there's no corruption?
They are loaded.
How do they even live with themselves?
The people demand justice: Spread the wealth!
And it doesn't end here.
There are other ways to make a profit.
Because when the tourists show up, they'll arrive with extremely deep pockets
because many of them will be gay.
A study I came across in Wikipedia
claims that gay tourists spend approximately 140 percent more
than the average straight tourist.
So maybe it's true.
Fill the house with local exotic pieces.
A refrigerator can turn into a mini-bar.
It's good
You need to eat traditional things, OK?
Make them a T-shirt.
And sell it at an exorbitant price.
Basically, we don't have Israeli merchandise.
When you fly to France, you buy the Eiffel Tower.
When you fly to Russia, they have Matryoshka dolls.
What do we have in Israel?
Sand.
The holy land of Israel.
Take a sandwich bag, add a little bit of sand,
maybe write something and... poof!
A collector's item for 120 shekels.
Of course it's strange.
If only one person does it.
But what if we all set up tables on the street during the Eurovision?
Tourists will say: "Oh, those Israelis. They are so strange.
"They think their land is holy.
"Cool. I'll buy one."
They will believe it.
But only if we all do it.
In the end, take it to the max.
Take as many tourists as you can into your apartment.
It's not greed.
We're doing them a favor.
What do we remember from our trips?
The people!
Anyone who's ever spent time in London or Paris in a real apartment
knows that despite the moaning and the groaning
in Israel,
the apartments are pretty big
when compared to a real metropolis.
Europeans don't know that.
They don't have to know, either.
You can set up another tent in the stairwell, no problem.
And there you go. Another room for rent.
You could say that's how it works by us.
We love roughing it.
We love camping out.
Like Israeli soldiers you sleep.
That is Zionism!
Improvising.
Maybe this... no, okay?
But you... continue.
That's it.
And good luck!

The Blitz Unicum Guide for the IS-3 Defender - Duration: 3:22.
The IS-3 Defender is a tier 8 premium Russian electric heavy tank
Which makes it the Tesla Model S of the World of Tanks Blitz.
To all who are wondering, why did I chose this Tesla model:
This is the correct way to defend the countries of the Warsaw Pact: you put Calibrated Shells
(Because the gun's penetration is not enough against every capitalist tanks),
Improved Modules,
Improved Optics (because Russian heavies are blind as f*ck)
Enchanced Gun Laying Drive,
Enchanced Armor,
Engine Accelator,
Vertical Stabilizer,
Toolbox,
and Consumable Delivery System.
You load mostly APCR, but you will need several heat rounds too.
You put Multi-Purpose Restoration Pack,
Repair Kit,
and Ecoboost.
You will need a glass of vodka, a glass of vodka, and another one glass of vodka
You put Condensed Milk, Improved Fuel, and Extra Combat Rations.
The gun of this tank is an autoloader gun,
which spams three communism capsules per magazine.
So you have to get behind some noob teammates while you are reloading it, or you gonna be raped.
The defender DPM is average, but who the hell cares
if you are having the most Russian armor you can ever imagine?
This tank is retardproof, and by that I mean
60% of retards will make it to work 100% of the time. I know because I did.
The vodka loader IS-3 should be played to get somebody to delete this game forever.
You have probably made a deal with the Devil to get this tank.
So why not ruin somebody's day? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
So fucking satisfying.
Start training your entire crew with the heavy tank skills.
When you're finished them, drop for Precision Fire,
Hasty Shot,
Rage,
Deadly Accurary
and Clutch Braking.
And once you're ready, go to reduce the population of the World of Tanks Blitz even further.

The Koppen-Geiger Climate Classification System - A Quick Guide - Climate Casebook Prologue - Duration: 11:39.
In pretty much every area of interest, human beings love to put things into boxes.
They love to categorise and classify.
From artistic subjects such as music and literary genres, to science including stars, chemical
elements and animals.
Our planet's climate is no exception to this.
And one at first might ask why is it necessary to put a label on weather patterns from one
part of the globe to another.
Knowing the patterns of temperature and rainfall is important mostly for understanding how
the earth can support population in that area through farming.
But general knowledge of this also impacts on other areas such as tourism and migration.
Regardless, humans will be humans, and in the absence of any perceived application to
such knowledge will still classify, for the love of science, or to improve understanding.
The primary classification of earth climate is known as the Koppen-Geiger system.
It has evolved over the past 150 years to define precisely the nature of weather patterns
on every part of our planet.
Each of these climate zones has been covered in detail in my previous series – Secrets
of World Climate, in which I show real places in each climate zone and explain why the patterns
of rainfall and temperature are the way they are.
In this new series, I'll be picking up on aspects of global and local climate that transcend
these zones, case by case, in what will be known as the Climate Casebook.
The first in this series is intended as a quick reference work, summarising each of
the Koppen Zones, so that in the episodes that follow, anyone new to the subject can
get a quick grasp of what on earth I'm talking about.
If you want to find a specific section, I've provided video bookmarks in the accompanying text.
Overall, the Koppen-Geiger system has five broad categories, which describe a general
pattern and roughly start at the equator and end at the pole.
These are always the capital first letter of the shorthand codes that every climate
zone has, and are as follows.
A. TROPICAL – the zones around the equator, which are hot all year round and either have
heavy rain all year round or during some part of the year.
B. DRY – subtropical or continental areas with very little rain year round.
C. TEMPERATE – areas which have relatively mild temperature ranges year round, and occurring
at the mid-latitudes near coasts.
D. CONTINENTAL – areas of high temperature ranges occurring usually deep within the northern
continents, experiencing cold or very cold winters.
E. POLAR – areas which are cold all year around, occurring near or at the poles of our planet.
Each of these broad categories is further subdivided, to account for more precise differences
in temperatures or rainfall, and these give us the full two or three digit Koppen-Geiger codes.
These codes at first might seem like they're just hieroglyphics, but a quick look can reveal
the logic on 80% of them.
In all the temperate and continental codes, the second letter tells us when there is a dry season.
"s" means the dry season is in summer, "w" the dry season is winter,
and "f" for no dry season at all.
The third letter tells us how warm or hot it is, with "a" being the hottest and
"d" being the coldest.
So, armed with this knowledge, lets get straight into looking at each and every one of the
Koppen zones.
Af – The Tropical Rainforest, also known as the Equatorial Climate, or Selva (which
is Spanish for "jungle").
Occurring only within the tropics at low elevations, the key defining characteristic of this climate
is rain and hot temperatures all year round.
This produces the famous rainforest that the zone is named after and the largest biodiversity
on Earth.
Am – The Tropical Monsoon.
Found also exclusively within the tropics, this climate zone experiences heavy rain during
part or most of the year, but also has a relatively short dry, or longer drier season, due to
the shifting direction of trade winds from land to sea and vice versa.
Aw – Tropical Savannah.
A close sibling of the Tropical Monsoon, and covering much larger areas in the tropics,
here the dry season is either completely dry, or is dry over a longer period.
Both the Savannah and Monsoon have a mix of woodland and grassland depending upon the
amount of rain and local topography.
Both support enormous populations and many large cities due to the combination of heat
and rainfall without the human health issues of the rainforests.
BWh – Hot Desert.
Lying on the border of the tropics, these areas experience very little rain, and searing
summer temperatures which hold the records for the highest on Earth.
Little or no vegetation exists here, with only bare rock and sand as landscape.
BSh – Hot Semi Arid.
Lying next to Hot Deserts, these areas have a little more rain to support scrub-like vegetation
but are still marginal in terms of sustainable human settlement.
BWk – Cool Desert.
Lying deep within the continents far from the ocean, or on the leeward side of mountains
sheltering them from moist winds, these areas are as parched and desolate as the hot deserts,
but experience winter temperatures that often fall below freezing point.
BSk – Cool Semi Arid.
Like the Cool Deserts only with more rain, but not enough to be classified as temperate
or continental.
Like their Hot Semi-Arid counterparts, they support shrub-like vegetation or hardy grasses.
Cfa – Humid Subtropical.
Lying at a similar latitude to the Hot Deserts, these areas on the eastern fringes of the
continents, however, are next to warm oceans that bring in plenty of moisture.
They experience tropical summers, but cool winters, and rain all year round.
They are among the most important areas for human civilisation, housing enormous populations
and many great world cities.
Typical natural vegetation ranges from forest to swamp and grassland, but much of these
areas have been given over to farming.
Cwa – Subtropical Monsoon.
A sibling of the Humid Subtropical, and found mainly in Asia at the same latitudes, this
varies only in that it has a winter dry season instead of rain year round due to the presence
of the Asian Monsoon.
Csa – Hot Summer Mediterranean.
Lying just above the Hot Deserts in latitude, and always on the western fringes of continents,
these areas experience the hot and dry conditions of deserts in summer, but significant rain
from oceanic westerly winds in winter.
Natural vegetation is limited by the desert-like conditions of summer, and is typically shrub-like.
Csb – Warm Summer Mediterranean.
Always lying above their Csa siblings on the continental western coasts, these areas have
warm dry summers instead of hot, and usually even heavier rainfall in winter.
With less harsh winters, natural vegetation is usually in the form of coniferous forest,
including the Redwoods and Sequoias of California, the tallest in the world.
Cwb – Subtropical Highland.
Occurring in tropical latitudes, the heat of the rainforest and savannah is reduced
significantly through being at high altitude.
The result is year round mild temperatures, with a pronounced dry season.
Found mainly in Latin America, East Africa and the foothills of the Himalayas.
Natural vegetation is a mix of forest and grassland.
Cwc – Cool Subtropical Highland.
At even higher altitudes in the tropics, the mild temperatures of its sibling Cwb zone
gives way to noticeably chilly weather, year round.
It is not common.
Cfb – Oceanic and Subtropical Highland.
One of the more confusing Koppen codes, due to an accident of nature creating very similar
conditions for completely different reasons.
Small upland areas near the equator, such as in Colombia and Ecuador, have this mild
year round climate which also experiences rain year round.
But over much larger areas in mid-latitudes, this climate exists next to western coasts,
where prevailing westerlies moderate temperatures year round such that warm summers and cool
winters are the norm.
In both cases, limited seasonal temperature range and year round rain are its defining hallmark.
Natural vegetation is mixed woodland, but these areas are heavily farmed.
Cfc – Subpolar Oceanic.
lying in certain areas higher in latitude or elevation to the Oceanic, these areas still
have mild winters, but cooler summers.
Dfa/Dfb – The first of the six Continental climates, occurring only within the great
land masses of the Northern Continents.
All these climates experience high temperature ranges between summer and winter, and all
have cold winters, routinely falling below freezing.
These first two experience rain year round, with Dfa experiencing hot summers, and Dfb
experiencing somewhat cooler but still warm summers, and are the most prevalent, occurring
across wide continental areas.
Natural vegetation is usually in the form of grassland, but these areas are heavily farmed.
Dwa/Dwb – The same as Dfa/Dfb except that there is little to no rain during the winter.
These occur exclusively in Eastern Asia due to the influence of the Asian Monsoon.
Dsa/Dsb – The same as the other Continental climates, except that the summer is dry instead
of winter.
These areas are not common, and usually occur inward from Mediterranean climate areas.
Dfc/Dfd – The first of the six Subarctic climates.
These areas, lying to the north of and similar to the Continental climates, except winters
are much, much colder.
These two zones have rain or snow year round.
Like all the subarctic zones, the vegetation is dominated by coniferous forest, known by
the Russian word "Taiga", and farming is almost non-existent.
Dwc/Dwd – These Subarctic zones are identical to the first two except they have dry winters
– they occur only in Eastern Siberia.
Dsc/Dsd – These very rare Subarctic zones are like the others except that the dry season
occurs in summer.
ET – Tundra.
Even further North than the Subarctic, the true Arctic has the treeless waste of the
Tundra, where summer temperatures are just too cold to support tree growth, a situation
compounded by the presence of permanently frozen soil just below the surface, known as permafrost.
Only hardy grasses and shrubs survive here.
Tundra also occurs in comparatively small alpine areas, and around the Straights of
Magellan between South America and Antarctica.
EF – Icecap.
Below freezing point all year round, these areas produce ice sheets several kilometres
thick and are confined to Greenland and Antarctica.
Nothing can grow in these harshest of conditions.
So that was your rapid-fire summary of the Koppen Climate Zones of Earth.
I hope you found it useful in introduction to this system, or to link the various zones
together into a general pattern for understanding.

5 Reasons to Read: "The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy" by Mackenzi Lee - Duration: 8:18.
Bibliophiles of the internet, my name's Adriana,
and today I'm here to give you five reasons to read "The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy" by Mackenzi Lee.
This is a companion to "The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue,"
but I would definitely say it can be read as a stand-alone book.
This is queer YA historical fiction about Felicity Montague, a young woman who is explicitly aro/ace.
The only thing she wants in life is to is to acquire a medical license
and to be recognized by a medical institution or practice.
However, as a woman in the 18th century,
there are no medical boards willing to even hear Felicity make her case.
After yet another rejection, she learns that an old childhood friend is getting married to a famous doctor
she *worships*, and if she can take advantage of this connection, this could be her big chance.
In her desperation to find a way to Germany before the wedding, Felicity recruits a shady pirate
who offers to pose as her maid, but who may have her own motives.
Reason #1 to read this book is that the story offers tremendous aromantic/asexual representation on the page
and explores an f/f queerplatonic relationship with a Muslim love interest.
This is rep we need, it's rep we deserve. And I think it's truly at the forefront of this story
because of the historical era in which it's set.
In this time period, especially, there is a lot of emphasis on women being "useless" if they don't find themselves
an advantageous marriage, and how their interests are worthless and should be shoved aside
to make room for the *husband's* aspirations.
So it makes sense that Felicity feels her aro/ace-ness taking up her focus in a very profound way,
because romantic and sexual fulfillment are not at all the markers by which she navigates her life.
And when it weighs on her the most, you see that she wishes she *could* make herself fit those expectations.
Sometimes it seems like things would be "easier" if she could just feel the way everyone else feels.
But that would mean becoming someone that she's not.
This was a period of history when women's voices were drowned out by the voices of men
and the expectations of society, and it's refreshing to see a character who is pushing back against that.
Felicity is striving to find how this world and its rules can reshape themselves around *her*
and not the other way around—and I love that so much.
It's powerful to have a character who measures her self-worth and personal fulfillment
by different "barometers," so to speak, and I wish we saw that in more books.
Reason #2 is that, along her journey, Felicity is learning that just because someone has different values
does not make them less.
You really see this in Felicity's relationship with her estranged childhood friend, Johanna Hoffman,
who basically carries herself as the ideal ultra-feminine woman befitting society's standards.
And when they first reconnect, Felicity is unforgiving in her criticism of Johanna and her lifestyle choices—
—the frilly dresses she wears, her dainty mannerisms, even the tone of her voice.
To Felicity, any woman who carries herself in this way is "giving in" to what society wants,
which in turn makes them weak and flippant.
She sees ladies like Johanna and is convinced that they don't take themselves seriously,
that they don't want to be taken seriously by anyone else,
and that everything about them could never amount to anything more than frivolous.
But after spending more time with Johanna, Felicity realizes that she is intelligent, driven, passionate,
and determined to find her own way in this world on her own terms.
She is *allowed* to like dresses and heels and parties and glamour, because none of that negates
the other things that make up her personhood. She still contains multitudes.
Johanna has her own strengths, and the way she chooses to carry herself
is its own kind of armor and shield.
And just because Felicity wouldn't choose it for *herself* doesn't make it any less.
Going off of that, Reason #3 is that this entire narrative is unapologetically feminist as fuck.
I love seeing this female-centric narrative where no two women are alike, they're each seen as their own person
with their own conflicts, and even though the odds are stacked against them—socially, legally, literally—
—they are still fighting tooth and nail for their right to take up space.
That idea of "taking up space" is a really important reoccurring theme in this story,
because these women often feel the urge to apologize for occupying their space.
Or they have to fight against this instinct that tells them that they have go through pre-determined
rites of passage in order to "earn" their place and become "valid" enough.
Felicity has this piece of paper she carries around with her where she's written herself a reminder
that says "You deserve to be here." And that's something she often has to repeat to herself.
Eventually, after enduring every challenge that comes her way, she is finally realizing,
"I have to stop *saying* this to myself and start believing it."
Reason #4 is that the story shows the importance of interrogating
the things we deem to be acceptable and legitimate.
As I've touched on, Felicity wants to study medicine and become a doctor,
but because she can't get a single quote-unquote "legitimate" practice to recognize her efforts,
she doesn't feel like she's good enough.
And I think many of us struggle with this deeply-ingrained thought process.
We tell ourselves "If I want to be a *real* [insert career title here], I have to go to this school,
I have to get this degree, I have to be recognized by these organizations, I have to make this much money,
I have to have these numbers"—so on and so forth and whatnot.
But that's not actually the case.
There are so many paths to discovering what we really want—paths we don't even know exist yet—
—and playing into what we think of as "real" and "legitimate" is just making ourselves part of a system
that was really only designed to uphold itself.
After a lifetime of rejection and belittlement, and internalization *of* that rejection,
Felicity is finally asking herself why she is seeking the approval of people
who have decided that her existence is inconvenient.
What makes up the institutions we respect? Who created them and for what purpose?
Who gets to decide what is "legitimate" and what is not?
Is approval or acceptance from said institutions the only pathway to validation or respect?
Felicity is finally being confronted with these questions.
And for Felicity, it's more than just out of necessity,
but a fundamental difference in the way she learns and what she values.
Within these institutions and practices she's regarding so highly and assigning so much meaning to,
knowledge is framed as something to own, something with limited access,
something for scholars to horde as a means to distinguish themselves.
That is not Felicity's way. That's not the way of *any* of the female characters in this narrative.
And they're realizing that if no one's going to allow them to succeed within the existing framework,
well, they're just gonna tear it down and write their own damn rulebook.
And Reason #5 is that Felicity and her crew are proof that "losing" or missing a milestone
does not mean you have failed; it's merely an opportunity to readjust your sights.
As I've said before, Felicity, Johanna, and Sim have had a lot of doors shut in their face,
a lot of opportunities that were yanked out of their reach, a lot of failures to launch,
but that does not, by association, make *them* failures.
On the contrary, they are merely casualties of a system that was designed *to* fail them as humans.
There's so many times in this story where things don't go their way in the slightest,
where they were banking on a certain outcome to keep them afloat and keep their hope alive
that just never came to pass.
And yet, they don't stop.
They don't have the luxury of being complacent or content with their circumstances,
because society will happily leave them behind as cautionary tales.
They keep moving forward. They keep finding work-arounds,
and unprecedented, unsanctioned, unimagined ways to validate their own existence.
In some ways, having nothing left to lose frees them up to think differently about the shape of their lives
and all the different forms they might yet take.
So with all that said, I do acknowledge that this story's brand of feminism is, in some ways, fairly simplistic
or idealistic, and it's not always as intersectional as I would like.
But I think it's still very powerful and I would still recommend it.
As always, if you've read this one yourself or if you would like to read it in the future,
I would love to talk more about it in the comments below.
But that's everything I had for this recommendation and review today. Thank you so much for watching this video.
I really hope that you enjoyed it, and I will catch YOU on the flip-side of the page.
Bye!
