USA news on Youtube Nov 1 2017

Halloween is just around the corner, so let's talk about something that scares us and makes

us feel a little bit uncomfortable -- or at least makes me feel uncomfortable -- death.

Hey everyone! I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living Abroad.

In two days it will be Halloween, a holiday during which millions of people in the U.S.

and more and more people in other parts of the world dress up in scary costumes.

Some people, as I explained in last year's Halloween video, dress up in funny or sexy

costumes too, but the holiday itself is in general still about the celebration of things that

haunt and terrify us. One of those things being death.

Death is something that we often try to avoid talking about the whole rest of the year,

and then kind of let ourselves go crazy with on certain days, for example Halloween in the U.S.

So in honor of Halloween, I thought that I would make a video talking exactly about that

very uncomfortable and terrifying topic.

Because while death is something that we all have to face, it is handled differently in

some ways in Germany and the U.S.

For one, because death makes us feel uncomfortable, in both cultures we have a lot of euphemisms

for death.

In fact, I could probably spend a whole video just talking about sayings related to death,

but I'll just mention a couple of them here.

In English some idioms for "to die" include pass away, which is a polite ways of saying it,

as well as some more crude sayings like to bite the dust and to kick the bucket.

In German there's actually a similar saying to bite the dust except instead of dust, in

German it's grass -- ins Graß beißen.

And a polite way of saying it that's kind of like to pass away in German is

von uns gegangen, which literally means "went from us."

Another more crude way of putting it in German is abkratzen, which basically means something

like in English "to croak."

And then in German there's also den Löffel abgeben, which literally means in English

"to give up the spoon."

And in English I also know of two idioms that describe a person actually being dead:

six feet under and pushing up daisies.

And speaking of pushing up daisies, as far as I could find, in the U.S. when you purchase

a cemetery plot you're basically paying for that plot for "forever."

Of course at some point in the future it could happen that that land starts being used for

something else, but the general idea is that you are buying the cemetery plot for "forever."

So for the foreseeable future "forever."

Whereas in Germany that's not the case.

In Germany the cemetery plots are actually rented.

Exactly how long the rental period is differs around the country, but it's often around

20 to 30 years.

And for some graves, after that time the family can renew the rental, but for some types of

graves they can't.

For some types of graves that's it; you just get the one rental period.

And one difference that I've noticed as far as the cemeteries go is that in the U.S.,

from my experience and from what I've seen on American TV shows and in movies, because,

you know, that's a great place to get the most accurate information, movie and TV shows...but

yeah, from what I've seen, it seems like in the U.S. people often visit the grave of a

loved one on a special day of the year, for example maybe an anniversary.

And then they often bring a bouquet of flowers to lay on the gravestone.

Whereas in Germany I've seen people visiting the grave or graves of their family members

every week.

They go there, put out new candles, they light the candles, they place new flowers on the

grave, and they clear away any leaves that have fallen on the grave.

They pick out the weeds that have grown there, really tidying up the grave or graves on a

pretty regular basis.

Something else that I have heard of and have seen happen here in Germany that I personally

haven't ever seen or heard of happening in the U.S. is that sometimes in Germany when

a person dies at home, instead of the deceased being picked up right away, the body is kept

in the home and friends and family can come over and say their final goodbyes, gather

around together and cry, tell stories.

And then later on in the evening, the deceased is picked up and taken to a funeral home in a hearse.

Like I said, I don't have any experience with that happening in the U.S., and I don't

really recall ever seeing it in any American movies or TV shows or hearing about that from

my friends or anything like that.

I think that usually the deceased is picked up right away, but I would love to hear about

your experience with it down in the comments. Thank you.

Also while in the U.S. cremation I would say is a pretty common thing, in Germany the option

of cremation is still a relatively new one, and up until rather recently even if someone

was cremated in Germany those ashes still had to be buried, whereas now from what I

could find Germany has started to allow the possibility of ashes, for example, being strewn

in a cemetery, rather than being buried.

Or brought out to sea, beyond the three mile limit. But that's it.

Unlike in the U.S. where many families keep the ashes at home in an urn, which is sometimes

put up and displayed in the living room.

And as far as funerals go, in both the U.S. and Germany black is the traditional color

worn for mourning.

And in Germany after the funeral it's a common tradition for the family of the deceased

to provide what is called Beerdigungskuchen, literally "funeral cake."

So my question for you is: What are your thoughts on this topic and how are things surrounding

death done differently in other places?

Please let me know in the comments.

bit more of a creepy topic this time.

Yeah, but I laugh when I am talking about topics that make me nervous.

I start to laugh.

And then people are like, this isn't funny.

And I'm like no, I don't think it's funny, I'm just nervous.

5 Things I LOVED & HATED in Florida - Duration: 6:56.

Huge flying cockroaches, but at least there's the beach, right?

Hey everyone, Dana here!

Before moving to Europe, I lived in sunny South Florida, and there were some things

that I loved about life in South Florida

and there were some things that I definitely could have done without.

So let's take a peek behind the curtain at life in South Florida.

And speaking of sunny South Florida, the weather was a huge plus.

Before moving to Europe, I had actually no idea how much I took the weather

in South Florida for granted.

It was just sunny so much of the time.

Like for example, I would plan a pool party in the summer and sure, it was probably going to

rain for about an hour in the afternoon, but other than that, you had a pretty good

chance of it being sunny weather.

Most of the time when planning events, especially events not in the summer, so not during the

rainy season, it just never really even crossed my mind that the weather might not be good.

Like, sure, okay, yes; sometimes it surprised us and the weather wasn't good, but I would

say most of the time the weather was just pretty nice.

But in the summer, yes, sometimes a little bit too hot.

You had to kind of work around the heat.

As I mentioned in this video about how hot it got in South Florida, it got really hot

in South Florida, and you can check that out for more information.

And what goes great together with sunny weather?

Why the beach of course.

When I was younger, looking back on it now, I feel like I just didn't really go to the

beach enough, nor did I appreciate it enough, but as I got older then I really started loving

the beach, and now it's one of the things that I super, super miss about Florida.

I just love walking along the beach, listening to the relaxing sound of the waves,

the seagulls overhead. Yeah. I really miss the beach.

It's one of the things I really miss about Florida.

But something kind of shocking about the beach in South Florida is that in the summer the

water is actually really warm in a lot of places.

It's often pretty shallow water, and at one in the afternoon it can definitely feel

like bath water.

You're chilling on the sand, get a little warm and think like: ah, I'm going to go cool

off in the water.

Nope, that often just backfires, and it makes you even warmer after you go for a dip in

the water than before.

Okay, so now how about something that I did not like about Florida: the bugs.

Cockroaches. These huge ones with wings, they would fly right at you sometimes.

Fire ants. Had to make sure you didn't step on the wrong pile

or they'd crawl up you leg and attack.

Humongous mosquitoes.

Tiny little ants that we called sugar ants. And more!

South Florida was home...or is still home, but I'm not there, to lots and lots of bugs.

We had to keep basically everything food-wise either in the fridge or sealed away in a plastic

bag in the panty.

You leave the raisins sitting in the pantry not sealed in a plastic bag?

There's a good chance that they would then be crawling by morning.

Another thing that I really hated about living in South Florida was the intense focus on beauty.

In South Florida there was a lot of pressure coming from all over the place to look perfect, flawless.

No flaws allowed.

Mr. German Man was pretty shocked when he came back with me to Florida for the first

time and we listened to the radio in the car and when the ads came on it really felt like

every other advertisement was for some kind of cosmetic surgery, botox, teeth whitening,

hair removal, hair implants, liposuction, permanent make up...the list goes on.

And as if the radio advertisements weren't enough, the road, itself, was plastered with these

huge billboards advertising basically the same thing using the most beautiful, "perfect"

models to show you what you could be, "should be" of course.

So that was a pretty hard place to spend my teen years, with that kind of intense focus

on looking perfect, feeling pushed toward the need to strive for this impossible perfection

all the time; all around me.

And lastly, speaking of driving around in the car, just driving there in general was, yeah, bad.

First of all, the road rage was intense and scary.

And then it also just seemed like so many people in South Florida drove wild and crazy.

And learning to drive in South Florida, the catch phrase that was always thrown around

was "defensive driving."

I was told over and over and over again that in South Florida I needed to learn

how to drive defensively. Yeah, it was just a very, um, intense place to drive.

And whenever I drove out of town and then came back to South Florida, I didn't need any

mile markers on the highway to tell me that I was almost there.

I knew that I was almost home when the driving changed.

I could really feel that shift that suddenly people started driving really crazy.

So my question for you is: Have you ever been to Florida?

What did you love and hate about it?

And what do you love and hate about the place where you grew up?

You want to leave those...nah.

It just never really even crossed my...

January was a little cold. I'm not a very good snapper. These are my best snaps though.

There were a lot of bugs.

$63,000 CAMERA :: What do the images look like? - Duration: 18:54.

this is quite possibly the most over-the-top camera that I have ever had

an opportunity to share with you guys on this show today we're gonna be talking

about the Phase One XF medium format camera with the IQ3 monochrome back the

Phase One system if you are not familiar with it this is a medium format digital

camera and it is a modular system so that means not only can you interchange

the lenses you can also interchange the backs and the back that we're looking at

today and the one I got to use was the IQ3 monochrome to my knowledge is the

only one in the country right now it's the first one at least there have been

game changer cameras throughout history obviously you know if you look at more

the modern era I think you consider things like Leica's the Nikon F

Nikon F3 when you get into digital cameras things like the Canon 5d

series particularly the mark 2 which introduced video but there are cameras

that come along that really redefine things and this back in particular

redefines it from me now it is a monochrome back which means it shoots

black and white and there are other companies that make monochrome cameras

but this one is very different and the reason it is we're gonna get into this

when we look at some images in a second but basically the IQ3 monochrome is

able to capture light beyond the visual spectrum so if you consider the whole

spectrum of light you have ultraviolet you have infrared and then in the middle

is what the human eye can detect and so it's just kind of a small space in that

entire spectrum of light and this camera because it doesn't have a Bayer filter

in the way the sensor is designed actually starts cutting into the

infrared spectrum and it's pretty amazing it's not an infrared camera but

it does pick up a wider range of light in monochrome that we are able there

sorry a wider range than what we are capable of seeing and this allows you to

start shaping that using filters and such and I'm going to show you with the

sample images it is unbelievably amazing might as well get this out of the way

there's a little running joke that we have here that Apple started a couple

weeks ago deeper pixels that's right and look all the glass and the stainless

thanks Phil so on a scale of one to ten of your deeper pixels deeper pixels with

maybe the iPhone sorry Apple being one and the phase one where does that fall

ten didn't quite catch that TEN that's more like it

I would give this a 10 not only are the pixels deeper but they're also actually

bigger on the sensor because you have a much bigger sensor

to work with and even with a hundred and one megapixels there's a lot of room the

low-light performance on this camera we will get to in just a second keep that

in mind it's pretty much not an issue so before we get into the physical features

of the camera I want to look at some images because that really is the

important takeaway with this camera and before we do I want to give a shout out

shout-out and thanks to Squarespace for sponsoring another episode of the art of

photography okay so I want to share with you guys some of the image files from

this camera and I'm actually using an image editor called Capture One which is

made by Phase One I do want to note that Lightroom will not read these files it

does not play ball so you have to use Capture One for these having

said that though I'm very impressed with Capture One there's some things that you

can do in here that you can't do in Lightroom and it's pretty amazing just

the image quality and what you can do with it as an editor anyway this first

image this is one that I have done some edits to and the way this was shot is

actually so it's later in the afternoon and the Sun was starting to set and it

was right behind this flag and so I really wanted to get this image where I

had these dark shadows in the front and you can see the flag kind of with this

glowing quality to it and one of the things that I love about this camera is

that this sensor is able to do things that typical cameras can't in that you

retain a lot of detail in the really dark shadows and also they're really

bright highlights okay so I'm gonna zoom in here to a hundred percent so you can

kind of see the detail you're getting one thing I'm going to note here is that

even when I move this around I mean it's amazing at 101 megapixels of course you

would expect to have this kind of quality but what's also interesting is

that Capture One even when I move it it takes just a second to render the image

but it keeps up really well and it responds really quickly and it's it's a

pretty amazing combination this camera and Capture One but this is an example

of an image I have done some editing on and I want to look at some images now

that are straight off the camera so this is my friend David Brookover you

might remember him from the artist series David is an incredible guy and

he's also probably one of the greatest living landscape photographers today

he's really amazing anyway he was in town with a couple friends and I did a

video on that last week and you saw us in that video just shooting some

portraits casually in the backyard and we were doing them actually for this

purpose of kind of showing you the difference of what's going on here so

what I want to show you is that you know I mentioned that this sensor is actually

picking up light that is beyond the visual spectrum and so when you start

getting into infrared territory this means things that emit infrared light

are going to go to a brighter into things so this means like skin tones

anything like foliage grass trees so a lot of those things will start to be

more bright and so this is just straight through the camera now one of the things

you can do if you want to dial that back is you can use an infrared cut filter

and when you apply the infrared cut filter we go from this to this image and

you can see that these skin tones are much more tamed down and really the

trees in the grass and everything in the back kind of went a lot darker but

what's interesting is if you check out the histogram on here everything is

exposed properly but those mid-tones are what shift and it allows you to really

start dialing in a specific look that you might want to get with this camera

and of course once you start applying other filters - we were going for

various yellow filters and you can even go a little bit darker into red or

something like that and it really starts to shape that image and it gives you a

lot of flexibility and this to me is the key with this camera now it does slow

you down to have to dial in with filters and stuff but if you're doing landscapes

particularly or architecture or even portraits I think it really becomes

beneficial to what you're doing because it allows you to really shape that tone

this is very similar to why I got so excited the first time I developed black

and white film and started getting into that and realized that there's different

looks you can get using different film types different developers different

development times and you can really start to dial in different things just

using one kind of film and I think that this is in many ways a digital

equivalent to what you're able to do in a darkroom

so the first shoot that I did with this camera we all actually went to

Weatherford which is just outside of Fort Worth David is doing a project

right now for the gallery where he's doing a series of prints and they're

themed around really old trees that grow in the south so he's gone to

Texas New Orleans and traveling over toward South Carolina and so forth and

so we found a pecan tree that literally is over a thousand years old up until

another discovery recently it was the oldest tree in the United States it's

just on this property anyway that's what these images are and

you can see that this is where a 100 megapixel back really starts to excel is

when you're doing landscapes now I want to show you something I shot this image

wide open at F 2.8 and you go in here and look at the tree in the bark and I

mean the detail on here is just like it's outstanding you can also start to

see when your focus is off and it becomes very frustrating sometimes to

work with a camera like this especially with the really shallow depth of field

but it has have a beautiful look to it the lens that we used on this was the

Schneider 110 I believe 2.8 and it is just absolutely gorgeous but when you

start to stop that down by the way this was shot with no filter at all and it is

unedited this is straight off the camera so there's a lot of room for processing

and if I go down here I'll find another image this was done at f/8 and you can

see that everything gets very sharp and very detailed in focus and it becomes

kind of one of the interesting things on here is in post-processing when you're

looking at essentially an image that has 15 stops of light and what you're able

to do with that in post-production typically right off the camera things

look really flat it's kind of like if you've ever shot video using log

profiles when you're getting that much dynamic range in your image it

almost does require some editing at some point and with a landscape like this I

mean there's a lot of room to go on but you start to get just a lot of

especially when you get all this detail back in the foliage and stuff is really

getting this tree to stand out but it does give you room to go on that and

there's a lot you can do one other thing I want to show you this is a shot that I

set up so using this camera is typically a little bit slow to set up David was back

here he's got a really right stuff panorama shooter he was shooting a

Pentax camera and doing some panoramic stitching with it and so we set this up

so basically we took the filter off at one point and I got him to turn around

and then the amazing part about this that I noticed later in post is I'm

going to zoom in to a full 100% here on your screen and I want you to look at

the glasses around David's neck those are sunglasses you can see right through

them in this exposure it is amazing the other thing worth noting too is the

David shirt is actually black and you'll see that I

have another video that I'll do on this shoot and you can see that in some of

the supplemental footage but it is really amazing the kind of dynamic range

that you get out of this camera just know that there is a lot of

post-production involved but it's also built for that another thing I want to

address is ISO performance because it's pretty much not an issue at all in this

camera so this is a picture that I took of my cat in the window this was about

6:00 in the morning it was extremely overcast there wasn't a lot of light I

also stopped down the camera so I could keep everything in focus this is shot at

12,800 ISO 12800 now if you zoom in and look at the shadows that's typically

where noise starts to hide there isn't any in here I mean that is a clean image

and considering hid and hosts the cameras that I own really 3200 is about

as high as you can push it maybe 64 depending on what it is this is it

12,800 the camera will actually go up to 51,000 which

is amazing he goes to stop higher than this but it just is mind-blowing

the quality that you get even at really high ISO settings like that I'll show

you the same thing on a little bit darker image and again this is shot very

low light so this is f/4 1/100 of a second ISO 12800 and if I zoom all the

way in here you can see that in these shadow areas they're really isn't any noise

and there's a couple reasons why I think that this works on this camera really

well first of all you have a much bigger sensor so it is a medium format sensor

you're also not having to capture red green and blue channels so it's just

capturing light so my guess and I'm not an engineer so somebody may correct me

on this I'm imagining that the algorithm that the camera uses to deal with noise

reduction is probably a lot simpler than it would be on a color camera the other

thing is just physically the way this sensor is designed even with a hundred

and one megapixels it's a huge sensor so you're able to not only have sorry about

the joke deeper pixels you are able to have much bigger pixels and the way they

can be spaced on the sensor so I mean it's just it's insane that I could be

shooting at 12,800 ISO handheld and not have any issue at all another question I

get asked a lot is can you use the Phase One as a street photography camera and

I'm not really sure why you would want to do that because it is massively heavy

but I did try it anyway and it works just fine I mean the autofocus works

great had it set up for back button focus and did

bunch of shooting just around Fort Worth and it came out really cool another

thing I want to show you is this shot I was shooting in manual mode you don't

have to you can use aperture priority or shutter priority but I was shooting

manual in these because I really wanted to get a feel for what the sensor would

be able to do and this one was overexposed obviously I want to show you

what you can recover on this so you can see even in the histogram I have clearly

blown the whites clear over but if I just lower the exposure on this and I'm

not even dealing with just lowering highlights or using a curves channel or

anything you can see that you get a lot of it back so the amount of data that

this sensor is capable of capturing is just incredible - I'm not saying you

would want to go out and not pay attention to your exposure but it is

very forgiving in just this insane way another thing that is very cool is I saw

this guy coming and this is an old dairy factory that we were shooting in front

of so I kind of set up I was ready for it when he came by there was no tripod

involved with this this was all hand held one of the really cool things that

capture one has is this keystoning feature and Lightroom has similar lens

adjustments but this is kind of your instant 8 by 10 and there are basically

three modes that you can choose in here you can do Keystone vertical you can do

a horizontal or you can do a combination thereof and this one is a combination

basically it's hard to see on here but if you look at these little circle

points it's going to give you a square and basically you look for lines to line

that up and you apply it you can see that this was rotated a little bit

and centered in but you have a hundred and one megapixels to deal with on here

so it's it's pretty amazing so you know if you're not using a tripod it can be

forgiving just as much as I think exposure can on the sensor this camera

is really just like it's so amazingly impressive it's unbelievable I wanted

the bulk of this review to be centered around looking at images and seeing what

this camera can do because that is what separates it from anything else on the

market that's available it really is a special image and I wanted to look at a

lot of those to show you what is involved with that now the camera is no

slouch either now most of the image quality we've been talking about here is

the back it's the IQ3 monochrome you could easily swap that out for a color

back if you wanted to those are interchangeable but this is centered

around the XF system and the XF camera is amazing it is probably the most

elegantly designed user interface I have ever used on any camera it's like using

an iPhone not a camera and most of you know that are familiar

with like Sony's menus or even Nikon and Canon they get very complex they get

very deep they're non-intuitive everything on here is just a tap away or

swipe away and the way it works is basically you have your main menu

functions and you tap on any of these to change what that is so this could be you

know your priority mode this could be the metering mode this could be

autofocus and then you can swipe to go through the extra modes which include

things like an HDR mode there's a time-lapse mode you can do focus

stacking there's also a pro photo mode which is very cool because this enables

you to actually radio-control the Profoto system lights from the camera

itself also very cool is there is a seismograph built into the camera now

this is one of the drive modes and what this does is it senses any motions so if

you're shooting landscapes in windy conditions or something that's not

stable it will actually wait until there's no movement in the camera before

it makes the image which is very cool and you also get a digital bubble level

everything is very accessible and extremely well thought-out on the

physical design of the cameras well all the dials the back button focus

everything is easy to access and what I kind of felt like using this cameras

that it's just an extension of you as a photographer and that's what a camera

should be it is a tool to get the job done I never once felt like I was

fighting with the camera to find something or to scroll through a menu to

get to something and a lot of that is just very typical of just beautiful

Scandinavian design we were kind of joking around calling it the IKEA of

cameras because it there really isn't another interface like this out there

now the interface we've been looking at is on the top of the camera and that's

mainly the camera functions itself for the XF series there is a screen on the

back of the IQ3 as well of all the backs do and it controls mainly the

functions related to the sensor so this is going to be everything from image

playback to live view and so on and so forth and just like the touch screen on

the top of the camera there's a touch screen here and it's more responsive and

intuitive than anything I've ever used and it's just like working on an iPhone

the live view is exceptional and I used it quite a bit as a focus aid and what's

really cool is you just basically when you're in Live View you can tap and

scroll in and not only is the quality image good but it maintains an

incredible resolution while you're zooming in and is very useful as a focus

aid the image review layout is extremely useful as well it has everything from

histograms to warning overlays to under and overexposure light level temperature

map even and that enable you to like really be super critical if you're

making images especially in the field now a lot of times a camera like this if

you're using in the studio you may be tethered to a computer so you can

actually see your images and analyze them there but what I really like about

that touchscreen on the back is it does enable you to have a lot of control and

a lot of access to things if you don't have a setup like that and you're

shooting in the field so if you thoughts and observations about Phase One first

of all they are not a consumer camera company and I am not their target

audience and most people watching this are really not either they deal with

cultural institutions like art museums or historical societies that need to get

extremely high resolution images for documentation purposes that's probably

their biggest customer base second to that is probably architecture

photographers and then you have high-end fashion and people who are making enough

money to support it and some fine art photographers now that's why the pricing

is high and that's why what they're doing is very cutting edge we're really

not their target audience having said that though companies like Phase One

represent the cutting edge of imaging technology and so this is typically

stuff that in the next couple of years you'll start to see trickle down on to

the consumer level and I do have to admit part of me wishes that I didn't

have the chance to play with one of these because you immediately start

thinking about how you can possibly finance something to the tune of fifty

sixty five thousand dollars as a camera setup which is completely impractical

but the other cool thing is Digital Transitions the company that were nice

enough to loan this camera to us to look at

they also rent them so if it's something high-end that you need just for a day or

two for a specific shoot that is a possibility

so check out Digital Transitions because renting one of these is really not that

bad of an option and speaking of I want to give a shout-out and thanks to

Digital Transitions again they did not pay me to do this video

they simply loaned me an extremely expensive camera to play with for a few

days because Rod and I asked and that was really nice and gracious of them to

do so for those of you who are sponsors I've got some downloads for you and if

Williams sees heaps of potential for Team USAgymnastics: - Duration: 4:06.

Williams sees heaps of potential for Team USA

MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada, Oct.

6, 2017 – The U.S.

men's team has given coach Mark Williams encouraging signs at these World Championships.

Now, with medals on the line, it's about seeing if they can make them stick.

Williams boasts a tremendous track record at the collegiate level, but knows translating that success to the world stage doesnt necessarily come easy.

Williams, once again, received a firsthand look at the challenges on Thursday night in the men's all-around final, where Yul Moldauer finished seventh.

Moldauer, a 21-year-old making his World Championships debut, is one of Williams' charges at the University of Oklahoma, whose program he has transformed into the nation's best.

But the hall of fame coach recognizes the different challenges international elite gymnastics poses.

"Obviously, this is a bigger stage and the competition is a lot greater.

Yul is going to have to get better.

At the NCAA program, he has been at the top for awhile so we're going to have to move beyond the expectations of just a college athlete and start to train the type of things that will make him successful on this stage.".

Moldauer was thrust into this leading role with four-time U.S.

champion Sam Mikulak still recovering from an Achilles tendon tear in February.

Williams' challenge with Moldauer is the same facing his entire squad.

"The message is we need to be stronger as a team consistency-wise.

We have potential and talent, we just have to draw it out of these guys so that it gets that theyre comfortable when they go out on the arena floor and do the same gymnastics they did in practice," he said.

Moldauer and Donnell Whittenburg compete in Saturday's floor exercise final, while Alex Naddour will be performing for a medal on the pommel horse.

Naddour, who won pommel horse bronze at the Olympics, looks like the closest thing to a lock for success.

"We're a team with some great potential but we're a little bit young after you get past Sam," said Williams, who has guided the Sooners to seven NCAA titles since taking over in 2000.

"We're hoping we can handle that as we get into the next World Championships and set ourselves up for the Olympic Games.".

Looking ahead to Tokyo 2020, Williams is keen to see the U.S.

win its first team gold medal since 1984.

Moldauer is confident Williams can help him be a part of what would be a historic moment.

"Mark has so many different plans for each section.

He's always there to help you, he talks about your routine construction, he talks about what you need to work on, and after the meet, he said we have to get back and work on your high bar," said Moldauer.

"It's good having a coach like that who already knows what you need.".

Williams' conviction is perhaps the team's greatest asset.

He rejected being pushed toward wrestling in high school and stuck with gymnastics despite his coach's wishes.

The rest, as they say, is history.

And that bodes well for Team USA.

Maradona's 5 FIFA World Cup™ Moments - Duration: 4:30.

It was against Hungary in 82. The ball was there and I just dived in head first. I didn't care

if the Hungarian defender was going to leave his studs on my head. I wasn't bothered.

How did it feel to score your first goal at the World Cup proper?

It felt amazing when the ball bounced up off the keeper and I beat my marker to it.

It's like touching the sky. It's like... There are so many things that go through your head.

There are times when the opposition goes too far. They want to make fun of you and knock the ball around.

Falcao started to say, 'Knock it around! Knock it around! Knock it around! Knock it around!' And I was fed up of them

making fun of me. I just wanted to get hold of Falcao

anywhere I could and at any price.

They played a one-two and I said to myself, 'This one's mine.'

And it was Batista, of course. It was Batista. When I saw Falcao I said to

myself, 'What have you done, you idiot? You kicked the wrong one!' It was awful.

It's the best goal I ever scored, no question. We all dreamed about dribbling past the whole lot of them, including Shilton.

I'm still looking for an explanation for what

Shilton did. I can't find one. I don't know what he did.

I sold him a dummy, yes. I sold him a dummy, but he's still got to block part of the goal from me.

And when I went by him I clipped it with the outside of my boot. Butcher came in and whacked me

on my right side. It was a straight red. It didn't bother me.

Brazil had us under siege the whole game.

They didn't give us any space. The thing was, a light just switched on inside me.

That's when I woke up and said, 'I'm going to take them on. Let's see what happens.'

I see this flash of white [Caniggia] ahead of me, but I overrun the ball a bit. So I hit it

with my right and it goes straight through Ricardo Rocha's legs.

I was lying on the ground shouting, 'Hit it! Hit it! Hit it!' But he didn't. He feinted and then he feinted again

and again. We were all waiting on him! And so, we won with that goal from Cani, who really made us suffer.

This is very special, because that penalty was the toughest one of my career, because

I'd just missed against Yugoslavia. I put the ball down and

Zenga says to me, 'I know you.' And I say to him, 'I know you better.' And when I stuck it

past Zenga's foot I said, 'Ciao'. It was me who knocked Italy out because Serena missed his

penalty just after that. So it was me who knocked the Italians out of the World Cup in 1990.

Restaurant Tipping in America Is...Bad?! - Duration: 11:35.

A tip is supposed to be a little extra bit of money, often given to reward good service,

but nowadays in some industries in the U.S., such as restaurants in particular, tipping

has stopped being a little something extra and instead it has become the customer actually

paying most if not all of the employee's earnings.

So is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Hey everyone, Dana here!

And I think tipping is good. And bad. Hmmm, okay wait, let me start over.

When I lived in the U.S. I did work as a server for a little while.

And let me just start by saying that I'm very sorry to anyone out there who had to

have me as their server, I was not cut out for that job and it wasn't one that I enjoyed at all.

But I did like the idea -- in fact I loved the idea that what I earned each day or evening

was based on my performance, and perhaps a little bit of luck as to who I got as customers.

I would go into each shift feeling like the sky was the limit for how much money I could make.

If I could just smile and really hustle and get to as many tables as possible without

spilling or dropping anything, who knows how much I could earn.

Maybe there would be someone really generous who would come in that evening and they would

leave me a huge tip that I was probably not so deserving of because I had probably forgotten

their drink or messed up their salad -- like I said, not a good server -- but sometimes

people were just super generous.

Sometimes customers just out of their kind hearts left me a very nice tip.

But sometimes they didn't.

I was left just thirteen cents one time, and, oh boy, was that a sad moment.

I had worked and worked and worked, so hard.

I was really trying my best.

And then I got just thirteen cents because the customer decided that I didn't deserve

to earn anything more than that.

The customer made that decision, that I didn't deserve to earn my wage for the work that

I had done.

Which when you think about it, is actually a pretty strange thing.

That doesn't happen at the movie theater.

The customers at movie theaters don't get to decide how much the person who sold them

the ticket should make that evening based on how much they smiled or how many mistakes

they did or didn't make.

Or what kind of a mood the customer is in that day.

No, that is between the employee and the employer to work out.

Not the customer.

But well, I mean, whatever, this is just how it's done at restaurants everywhere around

the world, right?

Wrong.

And I had no idea before leaving the U.S. for the first time, but no.

It is not the case everywhere in the world that the customers at restaurants are expected

to pay most or even any of the server's wage at all.

Here in Germany it is customary for a little tip to be left, usually I would say around

ten percent, but here this is a tip in the actual sense of the word, a little something

extra on top of what the server is earning.

But, for example, in Sweden from my experience, that's not the case.

We went to Sweden a few years ago and tried to leave a tip at the restaurant, but they

expressly said no, they would not take the tip.

They said that they had just been doing their job.

They wouldn't take it.

Even though out server had actually gone, as far as I'm concerned, above and beyond

her job that day.

The restaurant that we had gone to had just recently gotten a new menu and hadn't yet

had the chance to translate it into English, so it was only in Swedish.

So our server stood there and read through the whole menu to us, translating it into

English for us.

And still she would not accept a tip.

She said no, it's just, that's part of my job.

I've also heard that there's no tipping in restaurants in Japan too.

I don't know first hand, but that's what I've heard.

Okay, fine, but still this is how it's always been done in the U.S., so just leave it be.

Nope! Wrong again.

And first of all here, even if something had always been done a certain way somewhere,

why in the world would that be a good reason to keep doing it?

Just because something has "always been done a certain way," if we realize that now it's

not actually a good way of doing things, or maybe it was a good way of doing things at

one point, but now it's not anymore, then it should be changed, regardless of how long

it's been done that way. Right?

But anyway, no, it hasn't always been done like this in the U.S.

According to several articles that I read, which I will link to down below, America actually

got their tipping practices from Europe in the latter half of the 1800s.

And actually, at first, when tipping was first introduced from Europe into the USA,

a lot of people in the U.S. did not like it.

Being able to buy better service was actually considered anti-democratic at first in the U.S.

But, obviously, over time that changed.

Whereas in Europe some of the countries from whom the U.S. had actually first gotten the

idea of tipping, had, by the middle of the 1950s started scaling back their tipping,

either with mandatory service charges on the bill or mandatory wage minimums for the employees.

Which brings us to where we are today.

So is tipping like this in the USA bad?

Well, as someone who has worked as a server in the U.S., and as someone who has experienced

basically mandatory tipping in the USA, a little tipping in Germany, and from my experience

no tipping in Sweden, I have to say that I personally prefer the whole no tipping thing.

As a server in the U.S., yes, it was kind of exciting to think that the harder I worked

the more money I could make.

But for one, that made it all the more devastating when I didn't get a good tip, or any tip

at all, especially if I had done everything "right" and to the best of my abilities.

Just because the person eating forgot or didn't feel like tipping or whatever, just because

of that I didn't get paid for my work?

Come on, like I said, that doesn't happen in other jobs.

Sometimes at restaurants in the U.S. people don't like the food they ordered and then

because of that they don't tip the server.

Going back to the movie theater example, it's like, you can't go out and see a movie and then

if you don't like it, well sorry the person who sold you the ticket doesn't get paid that night.

But also, because of the tipping system in the U.S., when I was a server everything,

and I mean everything about my evening, became solely focused on making as much money as possible.

Because like I said I knew the sky was the limit.

So I focused so razor sharply on that bottom line that it really felt like any other measurement

of success, like enjoying the evening or making a fun connection with other people just disappeared.

Later when I worked as a hostess in a restaurant, where my earnings were the same no matter

what, I got paid per hour by the restaurant, I felt like I was finally able to enjoy my

job and enjoy the evening.

And for a while, yeah, I did think, like, well but the tipping system in the U.S. incentivizes

better service at restaurants, doesn't it.

But then I realized that actually makes no sense.

If I didn't give good customer service at the restaurant that I worked at as a server, yeah

I guess I wouldn't have gotten good tips, but I also probably would have been fired

for not doing my job because giving good customer service is a part of the job of being a server

in the U.S. Customer service is important in America, and I get good customer service

in the U.S. in places where there's no tipping at all, like at the grocery store.

Or when I worked as a hostess at the restaurant, I wasn't getting any tips, but I still gave

great customer service because that was a part of the job.

And actually I felt like I was able to give better customer service as a hostess because

I didn't have to worry about those tips.

And lastly, as a customer going out to eat, I personally would much rather just have a

set service fee that I need to pay, automatically added to my bill or, you know, just have the

server's payment included in the price of what I'm buying, just like at other places,

like at the movie theater or the bowling alley.

The cost of paying the employees is just added into the price that I have to pay when I go

do that activity.

This system seems to work just fine at other places. Why not at restaurants?

But that's just me.

So my question for you is: Do you think that tipping like this is good or bad?

Would you prefer to live in a world without tipping?

Until next time, auf Wiedersehen!

Which brings us to where we are today.

I'm hungry!

Then it should be changed, regardless of how long it's been done that way. Right?

Like we can learn from the past and change the way of doing something.

Yes?

That's the wonderful thing about humans. I think?

Until next time...I'm waving way too soon! Auf Wiedersehen! Okay, I'm done!
