After a
mammoth 12 hour tour of the Highlands, we returned to our base Edinburgh around
8.30 pm. The tour of Lochness, Fort Williams & Glencoe is supposedly the
longest bus tour in Europe, but we were NOT exhausted! Driven by curiosity and
simply the love for walking, we began wandering through the streets of
Edinburgh - Cockburn St, Cowgate, Grassmarket, High St and more. This beautiful
city definitely holds its charms at night. Hope you have enjoyed this video and
the any others we have shared. Do subscribe to our channel to get notified as

RNA
Sequencing can determine individual gene expression in single cells, organs, or
organisms. With these gene expression profiles, we can create maps of gene
regulation, disease progression, and identify targets for new therapeutic
treatments and drugs. Here, we explain RNA sequencing and how a mouse's immune
response to a mouse adapted influenza virus is elucidated. This video was

Longyearbyen
on Svalbard is the northernmost settlement with over 1000 residents My trip to

Come take a walk with me around Longyearbyen, the largest town on the Norwegian
islands of Svalbard. Parts of it look familiar, but make no mistake, this place
is different. At 78 degrees North, it lies just 800 miles or 1300 kilometres
from the North Pole. And with over 2,000 permanent inhabitants it is the
Northernmost real town on Earth. There are only 50km of road, including the
small streets between houses, so people get around the island mainly on
snowmobile. In fact there are more registered snowmobiles than residents.
Anyone leaving town is required to travel with a gun and someone who knows how
to use it because the islands are also home to polar bears. The average daytime
high is below freezing for all but four months of the year, and from the end of
October to mid-February the sun doesn’t rise at all. This is the long polar
night. Living here is tough. This past December an avalanche in town destroyed
10 homes, which used to be here, killing two people. So how did this cold,
remote, ice-covered archipelago come to be inhabited? The hills around town are
rich in coal deposits that have been mined for over 100 years. The coal was
transported to the port via a series of aerial tramways some of which remain
today, though they are no longer operational. Coal is a reminder that Svalbard
was not always an Arctic ice world. 360 million years ago it was actually in
the tropics North of the equator. A swampy area, it was covered with the
precursors to modern ferns, which were much larger than they are today,
reaching 10-30 metres in height. This vegetation was then covered in mud and
sand and submerged under the sea. Over time it turned into the coal deposits
that in the 20th century brought miners from Norway, Russia, and the US. Most
of the coal mines have now closed and the economy is gradually shifting towards
tourism, education and research. Tourists take trips on snowmobiles and dog
sleds. There is a university centre in Svalbard, which offers semester courses
in biology, physics and geology. And up on the side of a mountain is the
Svalbard Global seed vault… but that’s a story for another time. The locals
tell me that interest in the region from different nations is increasing. As
the globe warms and Arctic ice shrinks, trade routes are opening up across the
North. And Svalbard is strategically placed between North America, Asia and
Europe. One day in the future Svalbard may no longer be as cold or remote as it
once was. But for now it is a reminder of how through our ingenuity people can
live in the most inhospitable of places. Shot with a DJI Phantom 4 drone

Simple,
profound truths are the realm of this Buddhist nun. Her message? The gift of
happiness truly lies within our own hearts and minds. Gen Kelsang Nyema,
exuding a peacefulness that immediately connects with the audience, starts by
asking three questions: Are you having a good day? Why? Tomorrow, would you
rather have a good day or a bad day? She teaches that we cannot put our
happiness at the whim of other people and of circumstances. If we want to be
happy, we have to "stop outsourcing our happiness to other people"
and cultivate a source of inner peace. What happens next is quite astounding.
The whole crowd of 350+ people proceeds to meditate with Nyema. There's a
little squirming at first, but as she leads the audience through a calm
citation of how to rest the mind, audience members feel a collective relaxation
flow into the room and through the people. Fascinating! Refreshing. This talk
was part of TEDxGreenville UNZIPPED, held April 11, 2014, at the Kroc Center in
Greenville, South Carolina. For more information about Gen Nyema and her
co-presenters, please visit http://tedxgreenville.com/2014presenters

the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized

Within
a century most commonly used building materials will be depleted. Yet there is
a rapidly renewable, carbon negative – yet often overlooked – solution: giant
bamboo. Because of its ability to restore degraded land, reforesting with
bamboo could mitigate climate change and provide an enormous source of raw
material. Furthermore, industrially processed bamboo can be used in a multitude
of modern applications. Not only in the building industry, but also in interior
design and the textile, paper and energy industry. Pablo van der Lugt, PhD MSc
Eng, is a passionate advocate of renewable natural materials such as bamboo. He
is the author of 5 books on sustainable building materials, including Booming
Bamboo (2017), which details the latest developments in design and architecture
using bamboo. Building Engineer dr. ir. Pablo van der Lugt finished his PhD
Research about the environmental impact of industrial bamboo materials at Delft
University of Technology in 2008. After his PhD, van der Lugt conducted various
ambassador roles in the green building industry and has remained connected as
guest lecturer bio-based materials to Delft University of Technology. In the
vision of van der Lugt in the essential transition towards a more circular
economy there are tremendous opportunities for smart biobased materials made
from fast-growing resources such as bamboo, to substitute carbon intensive,
high performance materials such as tropical hardwood, steel, PVC and concrete.
Van der Lugt has published extensively in both popular magazines as scientific
journals and regularly provides (keynote) presentations on this topic to
stakeholders and policy makers in the building industry. In October 2017 his book
“Booming Bamboo” on contemporary bamboo design & architecture will be
launched. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format
but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
