News on Youtube Jan 2 2019

hi guys this morning I am doing something a little bit different I'm

just gonna do a vlog video because I'm going out and doing stuff I don't go out

and do stuff I'm a bit of an introvert I don't like to go out too often like I

I'm a homebody I guess it's a better way to put it but today I've been gifted a

spa gift card so I am going to drive to South Austin and get a deep tissue

massage for my aching shoulders and neck which I have been needing so bad I am so

grateful and so excited and then if I have time I plan to maybe soak in a hot

tub it depends if the hot tub is inside or outside because it's cold and wet and

drizzly and nasty and so if it's outside I'm not gonna do that but I have my

swimsuit just in case I hear there's a sauna I don't know but I know I'm

getting massaged and it's gonna be really I'm really excited I need to

focus on the road so I'm not gonna film while I'm driving

so what's gonna get me on

time is I've got the music off I've got my GPS on I'm just focused I already

looked up the map I'm at a stop light right now I won't be touching my phone

while I'm driving just pay attention to the road and they're really wet

conditions and just being really cautious leaving with enough time so

that I have time to drive slowly and carefully and if I do get lost or turned

around it won't be a problem so, yeah - green light - bye

another stoplight if you know anything about me I'm really paranoid about being

places on time so I go really really early anytime I have to be somewhere

I'm gonna be early but I won't relax until I get there with time to spare

it's just the way it is that's why I leave with so much time like I should be

totally fine

It's 11:01am assuming the clock I'm looking at's correct - I have to

be there at a half hour and it should take me about 15 minutes to get there so

we're looking really really good so far

it's really pretty out here I really

really love it

parking brake on I am so excited okay it's 11:18am - I have to be in there at 11:30am

to check-in for my noon massage I've been in the car for over an hour now I think

or almost an hour about an hour - I got my golden ticket here - this is my gift

certificate for the spa

Have I said yet in this video that I love my job?

I really love my job and I can't find my words it's been a fun busy busy Christmas

with family and now all of that it's time to unwind and as part of that I scheduled

my spa day for the day after Christmas because I can't think of anything more

perfect than getting a nice relaxing deep tissue massage and then spending a

half day at the spa after Christmas so you want to come with me?

Let's go there there - let's go!

(gasp)

got water in my shoe I stepped in a puddle

I'm in the locker room they gave me a brief tour but I didn't want to shoot a

video of that I'm gonna change into my bathrobe and get ready to go upstairs

because I have paperwork to fill out and I kind of need to get that done before I

start the massage I think I'm gonna have to put my phone away and put it in a

locker now

I had my massage, and there are signs everywhere that are like "no phones"

so I'm trying not to be on my phone very much there's a spa in the locker room

but there are other people in it so I'm not gonna take my phone out but I'm

gonna go get in the hot tub spa

there were people in here

but when I got here everyone left

I'm trying really hard to be respectful of all other guests

and any time someone shows up I hide my phone in a panic

This place is awesome, I don't want to get kicked out

Can you even see me in here?

I'm in the steam sauna

Steam sauna

I don't think you can see me

Tea - had a shower it's so nice here

just very zen and very relaxing

okay that was really good I took advantage of the shower before I got out

of there and now I am getting in the car to head back to Austin so or to

Georgetown you didn't get to see a lot of the spa like it's really like it's

supposed to be an unplugged no cameras kind of place so or no cameras not no

phones and then my phone is my camera often so I didn't record a lot but it

was really nice and really relaxing

I'm going to see what I have if I can even make a video

with that footage because I feel like I don't even have enough footage to make a video

I got to - I got to Google some things and figure out where I'm headed

and turn on my map my GPS and my nav so I can get

myself on the road

I got to look up my directions again so that I can get to

Round Rock um yeah

and then can head on home from there

so once I get to I35 in Round Rock

I'll be good so I'm gonna look up directions and then I'm gonna go

home so I think that's the end of this adventure today there's nothing really

more exciting this should happen I don't think

since I'm just gonna go home

think that's the end it should be fairly uneventful

let me know if this was

interesting or if this was horrible I gotta watch back and see if I even have enough

footage to make video

and maybe I will do something again like this when I go out

I can make a "go out with me video" but it doesn't happen very often that

I go out so yeah there's that

thank you talk to you later bye

The Public Domain Just Got a Little Bigger - Duration: 5:59.

So here's some cool news to start the new year:

On January 1, for the first time in 20 years, new works entered the public domain here in

the United States.

And by "new works" I mean "old works," as in "old works that weren't in the public

domain before."

Probably could have found a clearer phrasing for that.

Know the worst part about it?

I scripted it this way!

Here's the deal: The Copyright Act of 1976 determined that all creative works first published

in the United States before January 1, 1978 would enter the public domain 75 years after

their original publication.

Creative works published after January 1, 1978 would retain their copyright protections

for the lifetime of the author, plus fifty years.

These rules remained unchanged until 1998, when Congress passed a revision to the Copyright

Act that extended the protection term by twenty years.

One of the major lobbyists in favor of extending the term of copyright protection was The Walt

Disney Corporation, which was starting to get nervous about "Steamboat Willie,"

the first official appearance of Mickey Mouse, lapsing into the public domain, which prior

to the revisions was due to occur in 2004.

Under the revised provisions, works retain their copyright protections for the life of

the author plus seventy years, except for works made for hire which are owned not by

their actual author but by the company who paid the author to create them; copyright

protections on works for hire last for 120 years after the creation of the work or 95

years after the original publication of the work, whichever comes first.

Thanks to the revisions of the copyright law, Disney gets to hang on to the copyright for

"Steamboat Willie" until 2024 – which is practically right around the corner now!

The extension of the protection term also meant that works with copyrights that had

been due to expire in 1999 wouldn't enter the public domain until twenty years later.

For twenty years no works created before 1978 have entered the public domain in the United

States, except those which were intentionally placed there by creators who voluntarily gave

up their copyright protections.

But now the public domain freeze is over!

This year, and every year from now on, new works – er, new old works, you know what

I'm saying – will automatically enter the public domain as their copyright protections

lapse.

What are some of these works?

Take your pick.

All works published in the United States in 1923 are now in the public domain.

In 1923 Agatha Christie published The Murder on the Links, the second appearance of Hercule

Poirot.

Joseph Conrad published The Rover, his final finished novel.

Kahlil Gibran published The Prophet.

Virginia Woolf published her short story "Mrs. Dalloway in Bond Street," which she would

later rewrite and expand into the novel Mrs. Dalloway.

E.E. Cummings published his first collection of poetry, Tulips and Chimneys.

And Robert Frost published New Hampshire, the Pulitizer Prize-winning poetry collection

that includes "Nothing Gold Can Stay" and "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening."

Jumping from literature to cinema, 1923 was the year Cecil B. DeMille released his original

version of The Ten Commandments.

It was the year of The Hunchback of Notre Dame starring Lon Chaney.

Fifteen Felix the Cat animated shorts were released, including "Felix in Hollywood,"

which features Felix meeting cartoon versions of movie stars like Charlie Chaplin and Ben

Turpin.

And speaking of Charlie Chaplin, 1923 saw the release of important works by Chaplin,

Harold Lloyd, and my personal favorite, Buster Keaton.

Chaplin released The Pilgrim, and A Woman of Paris, a drama which he directed but chose

not to star in, though he does put in an inconspiciuous cameo as a porter.

Lloyd released Why Worry? and arguably his greatest film, Safety Last.

And Keaton released two shorts: "The Balloonatic" and "The Love Nest," and two features:

Three Ages, and Our Hospitality.

Nineteen-twenty-three was also a big year for music, as it saw the first releases of

the songs "Who's Sorry Now?", "That Old Gang of Mine," and a little blues number

of which I've always been particularly fond, "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and

Out".

It was also the year of "The Charleston."

What does all this mean, practically speaking?

It means that all works first published in the United States in 1923 are now the property

not of their former copyright holders, but of the public.

They belong to all of us, which means they can not only be republished without permission,

they can also be altered and adapted.

You wanna record your own version of "The Charleston"?

Go for it.

You wanna produce The Murder on the Links for the stage?

Godspeed, Little Dramatist!

You wanna make an exhaustive six-part YouTube series analyzing DeMille's original Ten

Commandments wherein you quote liberally from the film in ways that go far beyond the accepted

boundaries of Fair Use?

Why aren't you doing it right now?!

Life is short!

Go make your Ten Commandments marathon super-documentary while there's still breath in your lungs

and a beating heart in your chest!

There's nothing to stop you!

Quote!

Adapt!

Remix!

Remake!

The floodgates of the Public Domain have once again been opened and the cultural deluge

will sweep us all away!

Isn't it wonderful?

Isn't it glorious?!

Oh, rapture!

Oh, bliss!

Oh, sweet millennium!

In you shall I dwell for all the rest of my years!

Hosanna!

Also: The Covered Wagon.

Hollywood's first true epic western, about a group of pioneers who set out for Oregon

in 1848.

Top grossing film of 1923.

Check it out.

If you're interested.

It's neat.

Fore the People! Tiger Woods Is Designing a Privately Funded Public Golf Course in Chicago - 247 new - Duration: 3:01.

Tiger Woods is pulling from his own experiences in an effort to make golf more inclusive regardless of income level.

CNN reported that the superstar athlete, 43, is set to work alongside his TGR Design team to bring an 18-hole public golf course to the city of Chicago's downtown area, near the coast of Lake Michigan. The course will be privately funded, according to CNN, and offer views of the city.

Woods and his team are "lead architects on a proposal to redevelop the Jackson Park and South Shore Golf Courses in downtown Chicago," the outlet revealed.

A Look Back at Tiger Woods' "Tough" Decade Before Earning His 80th Win

CNN reported that Woods joined forces with Mark Rolfing, a former golf commentator for NBC who currently heads the Chicago Parks Golf Alliance. According to the outlet, construction could begin this year and the project "was given the potential go-ahead" last month during a Chicago Park District Board of Commissioners meeting.

In an August interview with the Alliance, Woods explained how his family "didn't have enough money … to be part of a country club, so it was huge for us to be able to play on a public golf course."

Calling plans for the new digs "as good as it gets," he added, "You can see the skyline. Soldier Field is right down the road. It is truly amazing. … We have the opportunity to create something so special."

In the same video, Leslie Hairston, alderman of Chicago's 5th ward, said the development "means a lot" to the future of the city.

"We are proud, we are hardworking and we want the best for our community," she said.

Woods ended his five-year drought at the 2018 Tour Championship in September, securing his 80th career win. Shortly after, he competed in the Ryder Cup with the U.S. team, who ultimately fell to Europe.
