As a rice farmer I've never really considered: how much rice can one plant produce.

I suppose it's the scale of our rice farm that has me calculating in acres rather than

individual rice plants.

I know that, on average, we yield 10,000 lbs. of rice per acre.

But how much does a single rice plant yield?

Never thought about it until viewer, Steve T commented on Episode 75, titled "Dissecting

a Rice Plant in Search of its Head" with this question:

"How Many Kernels of rice does the average rice plant produce?"

Well Steve, it's a great question and we're going to find out!

And how we're going to find out is simply by pulling a rice plant and counting the rice

that it's producing.

You see each rice plant produces a seed head, as seen here, and each seed head is comprised

of several spikelets or blooms that are forming rice as we know it.

It's just fascinating, to me, that just one...oops.

That just one of these kernels of rice, or rice seeds, was planted in the spring and

now, at the end of summer, has produced this plant and therefore all these additional seeds

for our consumption or for next year's crop.

But before we find the final number of how much rice this plant is producing I should

mention that a number of factors determine this:

the variety of the rice, the overall health of the plant, as dictated by the level of

fertilization, weather patterns, soil type and ah hum, the farmer.

I should mention that this variety is Calrose medium grain m105.

Now, as I count this rice I thought rather than you just listening to me count 1,2,3

monotonously that I would represent each kernel of rice as a step in which it took to grow

this rice plant.

For example if there were only 10 kernels of rice than I'm going to include 10 farming

operations required to grow the plant, representing each kernel.

You'll see what I mean.

But first let's head into the shop.

Here we are.

Here's the rice plant.

Just let me remove the kernels for easier counting.

Let's move this screen to the top right and add a counter.

Finally let's add our first operation of farming a new crop of rice, which as I explained,

will represent the first rice kernel in our count.

Ready...go!

Alright!

51 kernels of rice, or seeds, that this plant produced.

I can't call it the average for this variety or the average for this field.

I would need to count several more individual rice plants to get that figure and I just

don't have time.

51 grains of rice is just how much this one plant produced but it gives us a good idea

of an answer to Steve's question.

And in those quick scenes we ended our farming operation and crop progress right here at

the plant being pulled.

Again, every kernel I counted was represented in a scene depicting the work that it took

to get this plant to this stage.

By the way, all of those scenes are from past episodes of Rice Farming TV so if you'd

like to know more about what was happening in a particular scene comment down below and

I'll link you to the specific episode.

Well guys what did you think?

Expecting more or less out of the production of these rice plants?

I want to thank Steve for the great question and encourage you guys to keep on asking.

I try to get to as many comments and questions as possible.

Thanks for watching guys.

Give me a thumbs up if you enjoyed this episode and take care!

How Much Influence Do Our Parents Actually Have | by Tanvir Ahmed - Duration: 3:53.

What's up, everybody?

Welcome to the video.

My name is Tanvir Ahmed.

And hey, consider subscribing if you haven't already, to upgrade yourself and your relationships

to the next level.

Imagine there are identical twins — same features, same genetics, same intellect —

and you separated them at birth.

Now imagine you're able to track these two twins down and give them a bunch of personality

tests, questionnaires, and study their behaviors and life choices.

How similar or different would the twins turn out to be?

Same genetics.

But different environments, different families, and different life experiences.

Well, in case you were wondering, researchers did this with hundreds of pairs of twins separated

at birth and it comes out to around 45% of our personalities and behavioral patterns

are based on genetics, the other 55% is based on our environment, life circumstances,

and life histories.

That's pretty interesting by itself.

But here is the kicker: Identical twins who grow up in the same home under the same parents

also end up 45% same and 55% different.

What does that mean?

Well, a lot, actually.

It means that we more or less end up who we are regardless of who is parenting us.

Which doesn't sound right at all, right?

The data, however, suggest that our parents' parenting methods have no noticeable effect

on our permanent personality traits.

Put another way, our parents determine the superficial stuff — what sports team we

like, how we like to dress, where we like to hang out — but they don't determine

the important stuff — self-esteem, sexuality, introversion/extroversion, neuroticism, political

views and so on.

Now, I know what you're thinking.

"I'm so similar to my father.

Why?"

Of course you are, you share 50% of the same genes with him.

When studied, it turns out that most personality similarities between parents and children

can be explained by genetics, not necessarily conditioning or parenting.

But wait, does this mean that our parents have no influence on how we turn out?

Well, no.

The influence is just small, much smaller than most of us tend to think.

Our parents are just another part of our overall "environment".

But what about abusive parents, you ask?

Obviously abusive parents screw their kids up.

But that's likely due to the fact that they give the kids traumatic experiences, not because

there's anything special to do with them being a parent.

Childhood traumas are childhood traumas whether they are caused by a parent, a teacher,

a bully at school, or an attack by angry velociraptors.

On average, statistics show that shitty parents in a good environment are better

than good parents in a shitty environment.

Environment simply matters more.

Thank you for watching.

How much more HP does my GTI get with this box? DTE Systems - Duration: 12:23.

Hello everyone!

together with Claus I'm driving the Golf GTI

and we are on our way to Recklinghausen, Germany

There is DTE-Systems in Recklinghausen

there is a company which is specialised on ECU tuning and gas pedal tuning

I visit them, because I'm not so satisfied with my Golf

I want the gas pedal to react more aggressive

and this is what they can do best

this is what we gonna change on the Golf

it'll also get a small improved performance

together with a gas pedal tuning

the real power output of the car will be measured before and after the tuning

to see how much the ECU tuning can do

and I will also test on my way back if I notice a better gas pedal which should be more aggressive

and to see if it was worth it

I'm very excited about that, so let's go!

alright, we are here and our car is inside already

on the dyno

we gonna measure the power output

to determine the value of the ECU tuning afterwards

let's go in

Hello!

Hi!

how are you?

Welcome to DTE-Systems!

Thank you very much!

This is Sabrina

hi!

She invited me to try this out

I'm really curious how the tuning will be

you'll be overwhelmed

because I haven't tried this yet, but people talk a lot about this

I want to see what you build in the car

you've already told me that

the installation is very easy and it doesn't take much time

I'll show you more about that in a minute

We have the first results

we measured the performance before we built in the chip

and how much HP is it?

we have 280HP and 356Nm of torque

we have 15HP more than stock

especially we haven't refueld the good petrol

Now I'm curious how much HP we will have after we build in the chip

okay, here is the power control for you

yes

which will be built in your car

okay, this is really tiny

this is the entire device

exactly

with all the harness

okay so this is the chip

the chiptuning

or how do you call it?

power control!

I'm curious how much HP we will have after the installation

let's have a look at it

I remove the cover here

so we have one sensor here

here you can see how we plugged the cable between this sensor

like that

this is how it looks

and we connect the cable we unplug this one

with an adapter

and done

we connect it on the draft tube sensor

and on the boost pressure sensor

and also on the camshaft sensor

so if you are technically gifted you can do it yourself?

yes, absolutely!

we gonna change the values of the sensors

those are different voltages

and we read out the RPMs from the camshaft sensor

and we can adjust the values in different RPM sectors

the module itself is here

you also get an app that I've downloaded on Claus' cellphone already

and here you can see for example

intake pressure, turbocharge pressure

then we have the GeForces over here

that are measured by the cell phone

but we will have a look at the settings that are very interesting

here I can enable and disalbe the entire power box

so when I click here it is turned off and the car has stock settings again.

when I enable it, I have different settings like Sport, dynamic and efficiency

I can make a direct comparison

here you can see at 6,680RPM I have 275HP

it drops a bit at the end

yes

the peak performance was here with 280HP and right at this point I have increased power by 45HP

so the chip brought 45HP more?

yes!

this is a huge difference!

and the torque is

we have a difference of

from 350Nm to 400Nm

which lasts for a long RPM range

this is what you actually feel in the car

it's 50Nm of torque more

that is the real difference

I'm really excited if I notice that on my way back on the Autobahn?

because it is really...

first I thought, maybe we can add 20HP more...

this is more as I had expected!

but first it's time for gas pedal tuning!

this is the pedal box

this is why I'm actually here, because

one thing that I always complain about the car is that the gas pedal is way too weak

let me unbox it to show you how it looks like

this is like a remote control

maybe you can explain it a little bit better

how does it work? What does it to the car?

we will install this now

the initial characteristic will be change

so that it will be more agile

Okay so let's install it, maybe you should do it. I'll stay away from that

this is the pedal box

this is a small handy part that I can glue somewhere down here

it is also good to know that oyu don't need a technical component report

but you need a report for the power box

but there are many reports available

but you should make sure if there is one for your car already

let's get to the adjustments

turn on ignition

so you see the light here

that white circle means it is set to stock

I can switch it to the city mode

yellow means Sport

and red is Sport+

between the three settings City, Sport and Sport+

I can fine tune it

plus 3 which is pretty tough

but I can also decrease it

minus three steps

this works in city- and Sport mode too of course

I would suggest to do a short test drive

just to see how the gas pedal works now

but we will also test drive it on the Autobahn later on

to test the power box

I still have the settings of the pedal box in stock mode

so I just drive off now and this won't be a big surprise, because I know how that feels

you can feel that

when I hit the gas that you have a second of delay

But I will do it again. Full throttle this time. Hold on Claus!

okay that was full throttle and you really feel the delay before the car really takes off

now we gonna try that again with pedal box enabled

here you can see the remote again

we enable the full potential on Sport+ and plus 3

the highest possible setting

and we try it out, I'm curious how it works

you feel that?

yes!

you really feel a difference!

this is... wow!

this is crazy!

let's drive back I have to try that again!

I really didn't expect that!

this is a huge difference, even for a passenger

also while reversing

okay then go full throttle in reverse

okay hold on!

yes

well... yes

you fell that!

you feel it for sure!

we also have the increased performance

and the combination of both is aweseome!

indeed!

definately!

I'm curious how it will be on the Autobahn later on

yes, me too!

I'm excited to hear your thoughts after the test drive

me too!

how you will like it

and please tell me about it!

I will!

on my way home I will test it again on the Autobahn

and you can see it in my video how I like it!

I'll watch it for sure!

Thank you very much for the devices!

And we drive back home now!

Have a safe drive!

thank you!

okay let's put this together

Actually this car has 265HP from stock

the dyno test revealed that it has real 280HP

and with this chip tuning it has

with the power box

the car has a performance of 320HP

I can really recommend the combination with the gas pedal tuning and the ECU tuning alltogether

the gas pedal tuning really makes a difference!

when you drive off for example

there is way more acceleration, because the gas pedal reacts way faster

and when there is no more traffic here I will test the acceleration in higher speeds

okay now let's test the acceleration

it's fast as hell now!

yes, I am impressed!

it can also help you to lower the fuel consumption

but I cannot explain why it is lower than usual

if you drive 200km/h all the time I cannot say that it saves more fuel...

but

the reaction of the car is awesome!

Really, you should try it!

I think Claus is impressed as well

yes

I can barely hold the camera

He can't say anything

it pushes on my lungs so bad!

thank you very much for watching!

I hope you enjoyed the video

and maybe you want to try such a tuning in your own car?

if you want to then make sure to check out the DTE-System's webpage

Thanks again for watching

don't forget to like this video

and don't forget to subscribe to my channel!

you can do that somewhere here

you will see where the circle button is

See you next time!

Bye! And I will hit the gas now!

How much does the Champions League affect domestic form? Liverpool surprise, Spurs best - Duration: 2:57.

 That is what the statistics from last season suggest. Out of the five English clubs who played in the Champions League last season - Manchester City, Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool and Chelsea - the Anfield club's domestic form was affected most drastically by European competition

 Despite Mohamed Salah's exceptional 32-goal league campaign, Liverpool finished fourth in the Premier League, averaging 1

97 points per game (ppg). When playing in England's top-flight having participated in European competition during the week, Jurgen Klopp's men averaged 1

36ppg.  Their stuttering form following Champions League games is perhaps understandable, given the tendency to rotate players in the league, the further their progress in Europe

 There was less of an issue when preparing for a midweek continental clash, with the Reds averaging 2

33ppg in domestic games preceding a European fixture. Liverpool are better-equipped to attack on multiple fronts this year, with ample support in midfield thanks to the summer recruitment of Fabinho, Xherdan Shaqiri and Naby Keita

 The adage of a 'European hangover' wasn't disproven by English clubs last season, however

 Only Tottenham Hotspur averaged more PPG on the weekend succeeding European competition than they did across the 38-game season

 Chelsea averaged a dreadful one point per game in the eight domestic fixtures which followed their European nights, and it was that inconsistent league form which means Stamford Bridge will be hosting Europa League games this season

 Manchester United's domestic PPG average in pre- and post-Champions League games actually bettered their season average, but with ties against Juventus in the group stage to prepare for this season, that looks unlikely to repeat itself

 Correlation between Manchester City's league form and European battle was barely noticeable, given the dominant domestic campaign of Pep Guardiola's men

 However, having reached only one semi-final since the Sheikh Mansour takeover in 2008, the side's focus may be swayed towards that larger dangling carrot

How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer? Personal Injury Law - Duration: 0:31.

- How much does it cost to hire a car accident lawyer?

When you hire a car accident lawyer, the fee is contingent.

That means you don't pay any money to the lawyer.

The lawyer handles the case for you

and is paid when the case is over.

It's very important to hire a firm

that has the experience handling personal injury cases.

Insurance companies make money by not paying cases,

by paying as little as possible

and taking as long as possible to make any payment at all.

Our first has the experience in dealing with

insurance companies in order to get

the best possible recovery for you.

How many Teeth do I have to Treat to get my Perfect Smile? - Dr. Vicky Ho - Duration: 1:47.

Hi, this is Dr. Vicky from Smile Design Studio. Patients always

ask me how many teeth do I need to get

done to get my perfect smile.

Well, that depends greatly on what needs

to be changed in the smile.

And also, it depends greatly on how many teeth

they show in their smile.

Some people have very narrow openings and thus only show a few teeth

whereas others have really wide openings

and they show everything from front to back.

So it depends on the changes that they

want to achieve if they want to reduce a gummy smile.

Then if the gums go all the way to the back then

they'll have a lot more teeth that they'll need to do.

Or if they need to change the proportions or the sizes

we don't want to find that we do only a partial smile which

doesn't then blend with the rest of the back.

So it's very, very important to see

what the patient shows as to what they want to achieve

and how much difference between their natural teeth

and their final smile

they want to achieve. The greater the difference the more teeth

you've got to do.

However, if we only need to do one because one

tooth is damage.

We can do that

and match it perfectly as well.

So there is not a set number of teeth that you have to do.

It just depends on the result that you want.

And ultimately what you need to do to get that.

And we'll sit down at the Smile Design process

and talk about all of that together.

What Counts as Plagiarism? - Duration: 3:47.

- [Instructor] Now let's talk about

what counts as plagiarism.

As I mentioned earlier in this series of videos,

I've had graduate students ask me before

how much do you need to change before it is not plagiarism.

And how much material, or how many words

can I use without a citation?

Well, those are both very good questions.

It turns out that there are no hard and fast rules

regarding how many words in a row

would count as plagiarism.

So the answer to a graduate student who asks,

how much material can I use

without a citation is, well, it depends.

Opinions differ, and this is where

some of the difficulties lie,

in the lack of consistent rules.

According to Chekola and Shaw, Drum, and Hodges,

anything three words or longer should be cited.

Hexham, on the other hand, says that anything

four words or longer should be cited.

Roy says anything five words or longer should be cited.

I would say that it depends on both

the content of the words and the context.

For example, would I be guilty of plagiarism

if I used this seven word string

without attribution or quotation marks?

Two heavy chains and two light chains.

Well, as it turns out, this seven word string

gets used pretty commonly in scholarly journal articles

that discuss the structure of a particular

immunoglobulin molecule, not to mention

some other molecules that have a similar structure.

Sometimes it is attributed and sometimes it is not.

It is almost never put in quotation marks,

from what I can tell.

I would imagine that early on, in the first few years

after this molecule's structure

was discovered and published, researchers would routinely

cite the various studies that were involved.

Perhaps over time, this became less necessary,

as the structure became part of the common knowledge

of researchers in this field.

However, a good rule of thumb in this particular case

would be to always cite a source for the concept,

even if you do not need to put

the seven words in quotation marks.

Now for another example.

What if I used this 28 word string from Szabo in 1998

without quotation marks and without attribution?

Well, at this point, we have crossed an invisible line.

Through the gray area, from a short string of words

that might be either common knowledge

or just a generic phrase that everyone uses,

to a longer string of words that is more distinctive.

This sentence expresses an original idea.

The important thing is that this sentence

is the original expression of one author.

You should not use it without citation and quotation marks.

However, what if I changed a couple of words,

substituting synonyms for those words?

What if I changed a couple more words?

Well, the basic idea is still intact,

as is the basic structure of the author's sentence.

Just substituting a few words here and there

falls into what Dr. Rebecca Moore Howard

called patch writing.

It is incomplete paraphrasing.

And you shouldn't do it in academic writing.

An acceptable paraphrase rephrases

an author's ideas in your own words.

It is okay to use a few words from the original.

In fact, it may be impossible or unrealistic

to try to paraphrase scholarly material

without using some of the original words,

particularly in the science and technology fields.

Just don't use most of them in the exact same order.

Doing a good paraphrase means demonstrating

that you understand the basic ideas of the original text,

and that you are not just parroting the ideas.

Now, we are going to discuss ways that you can write well.

And in the process, avoid plagiarism.
