How to Make a YouTube Video in 1987

by

Download

Decades before software like Premiere and iMovie made video editing cheap, easy, and accessible for everyone, the only option was chaining a conglomerate of vintage 80s technology – multiple camcorders or VCRs and a TV – to craft custom analog video. Then the Videonics system changed tech history forever.

With professional-grade setups costing up to six figures at the time, the Videonics brought simple editing to the masses at a tiny fraction of the price… in theory. The reality of the Videonics video editing system was a jumbled mess of retro tech that took a near-miracle to make your kid’s 8th grade jazz band concert video look a little more polished.

And getting it all to work over 35 years later? It took 8 VCRs, 2 camcorders, 3 Videonics units and 4 remotes to create a 1987-era YouTube masterpiece. But in the end, it revealed the beauty and drive of the first-generation analog filmmakers and videographers who made YouTube possible for all of us.

How to have hope for American democracy | Sharon McMahon | TEDxBillings

by

Download

In a world that might seem like it’s falling to pieces around us, is there still hope for democracy? Sharon McMahon contends that there is, and that there is a path forward through division and hate. Listen to see how history brings us hope. After years of serving as a high school government and law teacher, Sharon McMahon has amassed an audience of more than a million people, who rely on her for non-partisan, fact-based information. In a time where flashy headlines and false information often take the spotlight, Sharon is a reliable source for truth and logic.

Sharon is the author of The Small and the Mighty, the host of the award-winning podcast, Here’s Where It Gets Interesting, and the founder of The Preamble, a newsletter about politics and history. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at

How to Make Splits and Scones — The Victorian Way

by

Download

Buy your copy of our ‘Victorian Way’ cookery book:

Visit Audley End House and Gardens for yourself:

Today, Mrs Crocombe is making a classic teatime delicacy: scones to go with jam and cream. She’s also preparing Devonshire Splits, a lesser-known dessert from the county of Devon where Mrs Crocombe herself was born.

English Heritage is a charity that cares for over 400 historic buildings, monuments and sites. Find out how you can support our work here:

INGREDIENTS (Splits)
• 1 tbsp dried yeast
• ½ tsp sugar
• 225ml / 8floz warm milk
• 115g / 4oz butter (salted) plus a little extra for finishing
• 1oz / 25 g lard
• 675 g / 1 ½ lb flour

METHOD (Splits)
Combine the yeast, sugar and half of the milk in a bowl with 1 tbsp of the flour and leave until bubbly. Heat the remaining milk with the butter and lard. Make a well in the centre of your flour, and add the milk and the yeast mixtures and work into a soft, supple dough. Rise, covered, for 2-3 hours until doubled in size. Shape into small rolls and rise for a further 30-45mn. Bake at 200C for around 25-30mn. Remove from the oven and rub each roll with butter before wrapping in a clean cloth until cool. Serve split in two with cream and jam on the side (and butter, if you like).

INGREDIENTS (Scones)
• 450g / 1lb flour
v55g / 2oz butter
• 5g / 2oz caster sugar
• 1 tbsp cream of tartar
• ½ tbsp bicarbonate of soda
• 300ml / ½ uk pt milk

METHOD (Scones)
Rub the butter into the flour and then add the sugar and raising agents. Add the milk and mix it into a very stiff dough. Roll it briskly and gently on a cold slab and either cut into single scones or make into several larger ones which you should divide nearly through in quadrants (so that they pull apart into four triangles when cooked). Bake at 200C for 15-20mn. Serve warm or cold. If intended for breakfast or savoury toppings, leave out the sugar.
